Chapter 178 - 175 The World, 9 Seconds. (II)
… ??
"Do you want to switch it on right now?"
Namor stood in front of the so-called 'ultimate weapon,' as small as an ant.
If he hadn't known how to use it, he would have looked like Sebastian Shaw; like an ant surveying a giant whale, not being able to do anything about it.
"Don't be so eager. The consequences caused by the Continental Shelf Oscillator are extremely serious. We should summon a group of 'righteous people' in advance. Let them board 'Noah's Ark' before cleansing the sinful world, just as God sent the flood of destruction."
Sebastian rolled his eyes. His idea was to gather enough mutants to hide in a safe place.
Then, with Namor's help, send a warning to the world.
If the negotiation were unsuccessful, they would use the Continental Shelf Oscillator to sink the North American continent.
Having seen a fraction of the power of a planetary weapon, it was only natural for humans to feel fear.
This was just like what happened with the Third Reich, which took over the European countries using blitzkrieg, establishing the Axis as a centralized power.
Sebastian thought he would do a better job than the Führer, who didn't have such a great weapon as a Continental Shelf Oscillator at his disposal.
"Bring it back …"
Namor looked at the massive and cold 'weapon' and pulled out a six-sided translucent crystal from his pocket.
This was the key to starting the Continental Shelf Oscillator, which could stimulate the energy system inside.
After that, he would be able to pilot this ultimate weapon like a spaceship.
After a few minutes, the giant armor, which was lying motionless, glowed with soft light.
The energy started to flow along the circuit and was about to be successfully powered.
Just when Namor was excited, a spark of magic suddenly appeared in the deep, dark depths of the sea.
Zi Zi Zi! Zi Zi Zi!
As if cutting through space, invisible waves ripple slightly as the circular passage slowly opens.
"Are you both surprised?"
Luke smiled as he stepped out of it, turning on his bio-force field to discharge the coming seawater.
The terrifyingly powerful water pressure imposed an invisible weight on him.
From all sides, it squeezed and pounded every fiber of muscle.
The Major General remained calm and comfortable, not feeling the slightest bit of pressure.
"We finally met, Mr. Shaw."
Looking at the dumbfounded Sebastian-Shaw and the shocked Namor, Luke smiled kindly, "Life always has its ups and downs, and a fall just before success is the worst feeling, isn't it?"
"I didn't tell anyone …"
Namor's eyes were filled with confusion as he subconsciously looked at Sebastian Shaw.
He couldn't figure out how Superman appeared.
The other party should be in Liberty Island at this time!
If there was a mole, excluding himself, it could only be Mr. Shaw!
Sebastian also looked at Namor with suspicion. This guy had always been unreliable; he might have leaked information.
"I'm in a hurry, so I'll settle the old scores with you two later."
Luke didn't bother to say much and lifted his right arm. Around his wrist was a ring of emerald green light woven into a circle.
'Smash the World!'
(Note: Luke is invoking Dio's 'The World', a Chinese meme from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.')
He shouted silently.
The second the thought occurred, the flow of time stopped.
Under the deep sea, on this giant island, it looked as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Even the water was frozen in place, not to mention Namor and Sebastian Shaw.
They stood there like realistic statues, frozen. The expressions on their faces reflected shock, confusion, and a hint of fear.
Luke took a step, and the bio-force field unfolded completely.
Trying to wrap the Celestial armor lying across the island, covering half of the city's inner ring.
'It's not that wide, but it's enough. '
Luke stretched out both arms, propped them upward, and held the giant armor steady on his shoulders.
'One!'
He counted down silently.
Time was suspended for only 9 seconds.
If Namor and Sebastian Shaw were allowed to resume their actions, they wouldn't sit idly by while Celestial armor was taken away.
'Two!'
Luke's arms swelled with muscles, and his veins popped up.
His tall body was like an erupting active volcano, gushing out a terrifyingly powerful force.
Boom, boom, boom!
Clear cracks appeared on the ground, spreading like cobwebs.
Three!
Luke's foothold caved in.
Only the giant armor was still standing still.
After the second card upgrade, his power was growing at an alarming rate every day.
Before, he could only push the aircraft carrier. Now, he could lift it with one hand.
This shows how fast the Superman card had grown.
The scariest part was that this was far from Luke's limit.
Now, he tried his best to lift this giant armor.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
As far as Luke was concerned, he had never felt that the flow of time would be this slow.
Every muscle fiber was being squeezed out of strength, and the solar energy accumulated in his body poured out like a flood that broke the dam.
The terrifying force even formed a gravitational field similar to that of a celestial body, tugging at the frozen seawater.
'Get up!'
At the eighth second, the giant armor finally moved.
Due to the suspension of time, the dust wafted slowly, and the seawater around it was stirred like a semi-solidified liquid, showing a strange visual phenomenon.
The magic sparks were beating, and a circular passage that was enough to accommodate the giant armor was quickly opened.
With droplets of sweat pouring from his forehead, it was as if Luke was on the verge of his limit, struggling to lift the enormous armor, which was incredibly heavy.
With every step, the earth wailed.
Nine!
Time flowed again.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!!
The deep and dark seabed looked as if it had just experienced a terrible earthquake. The island roared, and vast ruins collapsed.
A violent upwelling of dust, water stirring violently as it moved after freezing,
Namor and Sebastian Shaw, who had regained their ability to think, gazed blankly at the open space in front of them.
'Where's the ultimate weapon?!'
How could such a massive planetary weapon disappear!?!
