Chapter 468: Emergency Retreat
He originally thought that Eve, possessing a bug-level ability like controlling atoms, would wipe out the alien invaders on the ground with overwhelming force, but to his surprise, Eve merely created some energy constructs for defense and attack.
It gave him a sense of déjà vu, like the Green Lantern, except Eve's energy was pink.
"Forget it, I'll only know how strong Eve's ability truly is after I analyze it." Xia Shang stopped observing, his figure shifted slightly, and he instantly vanished into the air.
Boom!! In the middle of the road, an alien tank that was preparing to fire suddenly exploded violently, as if hit by a missile, emitting dazzling fire light and billowing black smoke.
The sudden turn of events.
Not only did it cause the Superheroes on the scene to pause, their gazes collectively turned towards the exploding tank.
It also caused the alien Soldiers and their commanders to show expressions of disbelief.
It should be known that their high-tech tanks were equipped with a long-range weapon interception system; once a missile flew in, it would be locked onto by the system and intercepted with firepower.
"Director Cecil is really something, he actually blew up one of their tanks." War Woman hammered away an alien Soldier, then landed beside The Immortal, saying in surprise.
"Not Cecil, it's that guy."
The Immortal, with a solemn expression, faced the center of the explosion, looking at the rising billowing thick smoke, he slightly shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure with a tall and imposing stature was seen slowly flying out from the gradually dissipating thick smoke.
"Mr. Jervis?!" War Woman, holding her warhammer, was very surprised; she had thought that 'that guy' The Immortal mentioned referred to Omni-Man.
Compared to the surprised members of the Guardians of the Globe, the members of the Teen Team, however, were somewhat bewildered, because they had no idea who Mr. Jervis was.
"Found it. There is information about this person in the database. His name is Mr. Jervis, he just joined the Guardians of the Globe, currently serving as the Deputy Captain of the Guardians. Specific abilities are unknown." The robot, acting as a super AI, spoke from the side.
At this moment, the alien commander, seeing a high-tech tank destroyed, angrily issued an order, "Concentrate firepower on that guy and shoot him down!"
Upon receiving the order, the alien Soldiers on the Battlefield all turned their gun muzzles, aiming at Xia Shang, who was hovering in the air, several meters above the Ground.
"Fire!"
In an instant, streaks of red and white energy beams shot out from their gun muzzles, covering the sky and ground, their momentum astonishing.
Seeing Xia Shang, who seemed to have no escape route, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats at the same time; they had no doubt that such a concentrated attack could absolutely blast a Building into Ruins.
"It won't hold."
Quick-witted Eve instantly constructed a pink barrier beneath Xia Shang's feet.
But the barrier appeared for less than a second before being shattered by the rain-like energy beams!
There was no time at all to create a second barrier.
Everyone watched helplessly as Xia Shang was engulfed and covered by the enemy's dense firepower! Could it be...? A terrible idea immediately formed in their minds.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat sorrowful.
However, the scene of Xia Shang being shot through did not appear; he seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Just as everyone was wondering where he had gone.
Xia Shang suddenly appeared behind two alien Soldiers. Immediately after, he raised his hands and, with a blank expression, grabbed two heads.
Bang! The heads collided with each other, like exploding watermelons, splattering red and white liquid.
This semi-viscous liquid did not land on Xia Shang but was isolated by invisible psychic power. "Damn it!" The alien commander's attire wasn't significantly different from regular Soldiers, only slightly larger in build. After seeing his Soldiers brutally killed, he furiously climbed onto a high-tech tank, pulled out the driver, and sat in the cockpit himself.
"Time for a counterattack." Lex grabbed a handful of gravel and, after it finished charging, threw it out violently.
Boom!!! This immediately triggered a series of explosions.
However, the center of the Battlefield was still with Xia Shang.
Looking at the dozens of alien Soldiers around him, his eyes instantly turned pitch black, without a trace of light.
Bang bang bang!!! Crimson red beams whistled out from their gun muzzles, shooting towards Xia Shang like a downpour.
However, the next scene.
Made the alien commander not far away's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
Two straight black heat vision beams shot out from the depths of Xia Shang's eyes, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, wantonly harvesting the lives of the surrounding alien Soldiers. They fell one after another like straw, turning into separated corpses.
At this moment, Xia Shang could only be described as ferocious.
Indeed, for clearing out cannon fodder, Cyclops's ability is more convenient.
"I'd like to see how many he can kill!" While heartbroken, the alien commander simultaneously ordered more Soldiers out of the teleportation portal and drove the tank, using its gun muzzle to lock onto Xia Shang.
Just as he was about to fire, a strong sense of weakness suddenly surged into his heart. He subconsciously touched his face and found that his skin was wrinkled and shriveled, as if he had aged decades.
At the same time, the Soldiers outside were even more miserable; some even died directly of old age, turning into shriveled corpses, falling onto the Ground while fighting the Superheroes, their pupils rapidly turning dim and gray.
Seeing this situation.
The panic in the hearts of the Soldiers on the Battlefield was indescribable. They all turned around and scrambled to escape into the teleportation portal, the commander being no exception.
In the blink of an eye.
The originally aggressive alien Soldiers vanished without a trace as the teleportation portal closed.
"Does anyone know what happened?" Eve landed on the Ground, looked at the shriveled corpses covered in age spots, and was very puzzled.
"They were cursed, or maybe for some other reason... Tsk tsk tsk, look, their death state is truly miserable. This is the price of invading others." Lex shook his head.
"From the surface of the corpses, it looks like natural aging, but the process was shortened to just a few seconds."
The robot squatted on the Ground, carefully observing an alien corpse.
"Cleaning up the Battlefield is up to you." The Immortal patted the robot's shoulder, then looked at Xia Shang walking towards him, giving a thumbs-up with a smile: "An unexpected performance. Thanks to your help, we were able to drive them away so quickly. You are much stronger than I imagined."
"Just doing my best."
After exchanging a few pleasantries.
Xia Shang's gaze fell upon Eve.
"Can I buy you a drink? Your ability is quite interesting."
"Sorry, I don't have time."
Perhaps because Xia Shang's means of killing were too brutal, Eve felt some aversion towards it, thus she decisively refused and turned to leave.
