Chapter 108 Is this what a superhero's daily life is like?
Chapter 99 Is this what a superhero's daily life is like?
Unfortunately, Shen Yi is now Meteor Superman. His figure flashed, and the pink energy blast grazed his left shoulder, exploding into a harmless cloud of light in the air behind him.
Although young, Eve was already a veteran superhero. Her left hand had already been raised before Shen Yi could dodge, and a pink, semi-transparent energy wall silently formed in Shen Yi's path, completely blocking his way.
The wall appeared so suddenly that Shen Yi didn't have time to turn around and crashed into it headfirst.
Whoosh!
He smashed the energy wall into countless fragments, pink light particles scattering like broken glass, refracting a brief rainbow in the morning light.
This collision completely broke his stealth, and his gold and black armor revealed its full outline in mid-air—shoulder armor, chest armor, and driver at the waist. Every line gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the morning light, making him look exactly like a Kamen Rider who had just stepped out of a tokusatsu set.
"Who are you?"
Unfortunately, there is no Kamen Rider in this world. Eve leaped into the air and hovered twenty meters away, her hands gathering pink energy again, her tone alert and sharp.
"A Kamen Rider who just happened to be passing by."
Without hesitation, Shen Yi replied, then suddenly increased the altitude and flew off in the opposite direction.
Eve wasn't about to let him go—this guy had been lurking in mid-air since the start of the battle, sneaking around invisibly. Who knew if he was with the Titans? She gathered pink energy in her hands and feet, transforming herself into a pink shooting star: relentlessly pursuing him.
Is Eve my nemesis? She always manages to catch me doing whatever I want. I just flew out for a drive early in the morning and happened to run into her catching robbers, and I ended up being targeted as a suspicious person.
Fortunately, although Eve could fly, Shen Yi, this knock-off superhero, was much faster. With a slight increase in speed, the distance between them began to widen visibly. Just as he was about to circle two more blocks to completely shake her off, Shen Yi suddenly slammed on the brakes. He stared ahead in shock.
Eve caught up and was about to question him when she saw it too. All the words that were stuck in her throat were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.
That's the headquarters of the Global Defense Agency.
This building, which houses the command center for the most powerful superhumans on Earth, now resembles a giant with its chest ripped open. Broken steel bars emerge from the flames like shattered ribs; fragments of concrete, strewn with sparks, fall and crash to the ground with a dull thud.
Has the All-Round Hero made his move?
Shen Yi immediately recalled a scene from the anime: after Mark awakened his superpowers, Omniknight slaughtered all the members of the Global Guardians in order to remove the obstacles that would prevent the Aliens from conquering Earth.
The problem is, Mark hasn't awakened yet, has he?
Moreover, the sound just now was more like an explosion than the noise of a battle.
"What are you all standing there for! Help them!"
Eve's voice pulled him out of his racing thoughts. She no longer cared whether Shen Yi was a villain or a suspicious person; all of that could be put aside in the face of the tragic scene before her.
Her figure transformed into a pink lightning bolt, rushing straight into the fire. With a wave of her hands, pink energy rained down from the sky. The flames were quickly annihilated upon touching the energy light. The twisted and broken steel bars were dismantled and peeled away by the power of atomic recombination, revealing the possible survivors below.
Help me? What if the All-Powerful Hero gets carried away and kills himself?
Reason told Shen Yi that he should turn around and run now. With his current strength as a knock-off Superman, he couldn't even withstand a casual punch from the All-Round Man, let alone face him head-on.
But he eventually swooped down and followed Eve to start rescuing people.
It wasn't because he suddenly developed some kind of hero complex, nor because he was embarrassed to show weakness in front of beautiful women. The reason was very pragmatic: Almighty hasn't publicly torn off his mask yet. He still needs to maintain the disguise of "Earth's strongest hero" and still needs the trust and worship of Earthlings.
He won't openly turn against Mark until Mark is completely on his side.
If he turned and ran away at that moment, and the All-Powerful Man pinned the blame on him during the investigation, then it would be like mud falling into his crotch—even if it wasn't shit, it would still look like shit.
Shen Yi landed beside a collapsed wall, grabbed a concrete slab weighing about half a ton with both hands, lowered his knees slightly, and with a little effort from his waist and abdomen, he lifted the concrete slab aside.
A staff member in a Global Defense Agency uniform was pinned down below, his face covered in blood, his left hand bent at an abnormal angle, but his chest was still heaving.
Ouch, that's terrible!
But at least I'm still alive.
Shen Yi carefully picked the person up, asked the Red Queen to help find the nearest hospital, and flew directly there.
Hopefully this guy has health insurance—he won't get cut off by the cutoff line, right?
He's someone from the Global Defense Agency, after all.
While he was helping, his mind was racing, going back and forth several times, when he suddenly noticed several familiar faces among the rescuers.
Leading the group are several members of the Guardians of the World who are references to Superman: Immortal, War Woman (not Diana), Darkwing (who is better at stealth than Batman), Aquaman (who can communicate with Aquaman), Redspeed (who runs without electric arcs), Martian (who is not afraid of fire), and Green Phantom (who doesn't have a gem set in his ring).
Not one was missing; they were all alive.
They were in such good spirits that it was as if they had never actually been there.
Hmm, maybe they really aren't there—the global guard teams each have their own affairs and rarely gather at headquarters.
What's going on?
What happened during that explosion?
Is this what a superhero's daily life is like?
Before he could even sort out his thoughts, the Immortal had already noticed him, his sharp, hawk-like eyes scanning him up and down.
"Who are you?"
He asked in a deep voice, his tone neither hostile nor friendly.
"Just passing by."
Shen Yi's voice sounded muffled behind the mask, "I saw the explosion here and came to help rescue people."
Perhaps because there was no time to question him, Yong Shengxia simply nodded, said "Be careful," and turned to join the rescue.
With more manpower deployed, especially with Chisu using super speed to send the survivors to the hospital one by one, and Eve using her atomic rewriting ability to annihilate the building's wreckage layer by layer, all the survivors were soon rescued—excluding those who had perished in the explosion.
"Cecil Steadman is dead."
Shen Yi clapped his hands, about to say goodbye to Eve, when his ears caught Darkwing's voice in the All-Round Man headset, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Cecil Steadman?
The man who even All-Round Man had to be wary of in the original storyline is dead?
Standing on the ruins, Shen Yi felt a terrible headache. He had long known that this universe was not the main universe of the anime, but Cecil's death still shocked him greatly. The plot had deviated too far from the track he remembered, and had completely veered into an unknown side road.
