Chapter 3593
But Brainiac had no time to pay attention to Clark. Because the big guy dragged over by Clark had already rushed into Krypton and started smashing at places with energy fluctuations.
Krypton's energy hadn't fully recovered, and even the most advanced equipment that had been stopped for so many years needed debugging when restarted. Being able to restart the manufacturing assembly line of reconnaissance robots in such a short time from discovering the enemy until now could be considered Brainiac's innate talent.
As a result, this little assembly line suffered a fatal blow just after it started. Brainiac had to hurriedly gather the reconnaissance robots he produced to intercept that big guy.
But reconnaissance robots are used for reconnaissance, not for fighting. If it were just fighting ordinary machines, it would be fine, but the big guy dragged over by Clark was Arkillo, the first general under Sinestro of the Yellow Lantern Corps, who could be said to be the veteran of veterans in the Yellow Lantern Corps, and was quite capable.
Don't look at his burly appearance, he was flexible, and he was also very skilled in the use of yellow light energy. Although robots have no fear, simply using yellow light energy as an energy weapon was enough to beat down this group of miscellaneous soldiers gathered by Brainiac.
What made Brainiac even more headache was that the boss of the Yellow Lantern Corps came. The Yellow Lanterns couldn't be idle either, there was induction between yellow light powers. They felt the trace of their boss, so they flew over one after another.
The little things Brainiac made were hard enough to fight Arkillo, let alone other Yellow Lanterns, and there was no way to intercept them halfway, so he could only watch them fly over.
On the other side, the Parademon army led by Granny Goodness, a general under Darkseid, also discovered that the solar system didn't seem to be defended, so they cast aside their scruples and launched a large-scale invasion.
Brainiac originally thought they were coming for Earth, and the Justice League would at least take action for the sake of human compatriots to help him relieve some pressure.
As a result, he thought too much, the Justice League didn't intend to move at all. The Parademon army had already flown to the moon, and there wasn't a single figure of the Justice League.
Brainiac finally saw it, Shiler was right. Compared to how to deal with aliens, they were more willing to watch their compatriots suffer.
Brainiac had no choice, so he could only produce some robots with the few production lines he controlled, barely blocking the scouts of the Parademon army. But when the main force attacked, he had no way at all.
Earth and Krypton bloomed on both sides, and Brainiac had a head full of lawsuits. Earth's technological development level was too low, and the things produced were as brittle as paper and couldn't be used at all. Krypton's development level was high, but it wasn't a mechanical civilization originally and didn't adapt to Brainiac's rule. Even after restarting, it couldn't operate efficiently immediately, and the quality of the things produced was okay, but the quantity couldn't go up.
Then why didn't Brainiac run?
This has to be said about Apokolips technology. Apokolips is not a backward civilization like humans, their technological level in the universe is top-notch, and even detached from technology to reach the rule level. Just like Darkseid is invincible in his Apokolips domain.
If you have to make an analogy, the Skrull Empire and Kree Empire of the Marvel Three Empires are kneaded together, fused with some magical characteristics of the Shi'ar Empire, and then a tyrant with top-notch standards in all items comes out, which is about the level of Apokolips.
Even the little blue men of the Guardians of the Universe dare not easily pluck the tiger's whiskers of Darkseid. There are so many Lantern Corps, and none of them can manage the affairs of Apokolips.
And they are not closing the door to build a car, Darkseid's path of aggression has never stopped. In terms of interstellar warfare, whether it is theory or practice, they are also top-notch in the universe.
When the Parademon army entered, they had already blocked the entire solar system, not only blocking the dimension, making spaceships unable to jump, but also blocking the entire solar system's electrical signals, so that nothing could fly out of the solar system.
And because they knew the opponent was very likely an artificial intelligence, they also carried out extremely strict encryption on their own network, ensuring that Brainiac couldn't mix out through the Apokolips network.
That is to say, now Brainiac is being closed in and beaten. Whether he wants to run or wants to take Krypton out of the solar system together is impossible, and rushing to Apokolips is sending takeout.
Darkseid is omniscient and omnipotent on Apokolips, even if there is a tiny signal difference, he can detect it. If Brainiac falls into his hands, he will know what it means to meet a soldier when a scholar meets a soldier, and can't explain clearly.
He can't run, so he can only fight. But it's clear he can't beat them, let alone Apokolips, he can't even beat the Yellow Lantern Corps. Those equipment didn't have coatings targeting yellow light energy, and were dismantled in two or three strokes, coming as many as dismantled, Brainiac's defense was meaningless.
On the night the Parademon army officially invaded Earth, Cat Getan rained again. At this time, countries around the world were already panicked, but panic was useless, people had already broken through the atmosphere, and it was too late to make any preparations now.
Soon, the Apokolips spaceship flew to a visible distance, and the huge shadow swept over North America, adding an unspeakable terrifying atmosphere to this rainy night.
When the spaceship arrived, it stopped raining. The huge spaceship dispersed the rain clouds, and also made humans inevitably look directly at the terror.
The spaceship was too huge, no one could see the full picture, but just seeing the muzzle and the hatch was enough to realize that this was not an enemy humans could resist at all.
Shiler stood in front of the window of his office, looking up at the sky. A spaceship stopped over North America, another went to South America, and two more went towards Asia and Europe. It seems they are determined to carry out landing operations.
But it is also true, such a weak civilization of humans cannot threaten their individual soldiers at all, and if they want to find something, then a carpet search with the army spread out would be better.
Just as Shiler was staring at the sky, a missile with flames in its wake streaked across the sky, bringing a glimmer of hope to the people who were also looking at the sky. The president's call came from the TV:
"Don't panic! Don't panic! We have launched nuclear bombs! No matter what conspiracy the invaders have, they cannot succeed..."
Boom!!!!!
The screen was swallowed by blinding white light, and nothing was left after the light extinguished. The process was indeed fast, and the people who were vaporized felt almost no pain.
The missile hit the spaceship above, but apart from exploding into a firework on the spaceship's shield, there was no effect at all.
More missiles shot towards the spaceship that was like a canopy of the sky, most of them only left small sparks on the shield, and a very small part failed to launch, smashing towards the ground. For a time, the roar and screams were endless.
The ridiculous thing is that the spaceship hadn't caused much damage to humans yet, but those missiles that failed to launch and the planes that lost balance due to the airflow brought death and destruction first.
And the behemoth in the sky just stopped there quietly, like a god waiting to execute the final judgment.
Some people kept howling, some knelt down to pray, some were completely desperate and collapsed, hiding in their houses and not daring to come out.
Some people also started calling Brainiac. But at this moment, a light shone on several spaceships at the same time, and a slight ringing sound sounded in everyone's ears. If one could look at Earth from space, one would find white light covering the globe.
This was not an EMP, accurately speaking, not a lethal attack weapon, but the Apokolips spaceship was detecting the signal of the Mother Box.
But this caused all electronic equipment on Earth to be completely paralyzed.
Don't care if it's the internet or the radio, anything that needs to use electrical signals stopped. Humans almost returned to primitive society in an instant.
The impact on electronic equipment brought more disasters, equipment controlled by electronic signals began to lose control, disconnection between people, and deeper fear made people almost crazy.
Clearly this scanning detection had no results, they didn't find the complete Mother Box signal. So they started the real landing.
This time, several continents on Earth welcomed the same rainy season—Parademons fell like raindrops, carrying Apokolips' most advanced individual equipment and search equipment, killing all living things in the target area, and searching every corner.
People fled in panic, but few Parademons specifically chased panicked humans. Because Darkseid didn't come to exterminate humans this time, he just came to find something.
To him, Earthlings are no different from ants. When you want to find something in an ant nest, even if you don't specifically slaughter them, you may accidentally crush many ants and completely destroy the structure of the ant nest, but your intention is just to find something.
This is Darkseid's attitude towards humans during this period. A marginal, inconspicuous, weak primitive civilization is not worth his more effort.
Facing the rampant Parademon army, Shiler didn't move, he was just waiting.
From the time Barry appeared in front of him and said those words to him before, he had roughly guessed what the Justice League was going to do.
He stood in front of the window and waited quietly, until the shouting in the night grew louder and louder, and the fire reached the sky. The spaceships that finished dropping troops flashed and disappeared completely from people's vision.
The dispersed rain clouds gathered back, and in an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and the torrential rain fell suddenly, failing to extinguish the fire in the city, but shielding more screams and cries.
Just so panicked, so noisy, the Cat Getan Cathedral rang the midnight bell. Midnight arrived.
August 26, 1999, 0:00.
The falling rain lines suddenly stopped.
Afterward, the water droplets in the puddles began to gradually move upward, then upward, faster and faster.
The hour hand reversed. 12, 11, 10, 9...
The TV made a noise like a tape rewinding, and the sound of playing backward was particularly harsh. The annotations on the textbooks disappeared line by line. The door opened and closed. The golden light left by the sunset on the corridor floor through the window began to fall towards the other direction in unison, becoming thick and then sharp, pulled into thin long lines, and disappeared completely.
The monsters on the street began to rise into the sky, and the spaceship left the atmosphere. The signal was restored, and the icon of Brainiac's software reappeared on people's mobile phones, but soon disappeared again, as if it had never been here.
The TV made a buzzing current sound, Shiler turned his head and happened to see a green figure appearing on the screen:
"Hello, humans, I'm glad to meet you here... wait! What's going on?!"
Shiler smiled and said softly: "Hello, Brainiac."
