I Like This Welcome Ceremony
A beam of light shot out from the void, heading straight for Kino's face.
Kino's head exploded, and his headless corpse fell straight to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"No!!!"
Barry's pupils contracted, his knees buckled in pain, and he knelt heavily beside the cold corpse. Grief overwhelmed him like a burst dam, and scalding tears streamed down his face.
Why are you crying?
"I killed him. He shouldn't have died. It was all my fault..."
Barry suddenly realized who was speaking.
He turned around in a panic and saw Kino squatting next to him with a relaxed expression, holding a camera in his hand.
Click!
The flash went off, and the momentary blinding light made Barry feel slightly disoriented.
His gaze darted back and forth between the headless corpse on the ground and the living Kino before him, so fast that even the head appeared as an afterimage.
"Thank goodness, you're not dead?"
Barry's voice trembled with excitement as he reached out to hug Kino, as if that would confirm that he was still alive.
His head slammed directly into an invisible, transparent wall, and he was bounced back, feeling dizzy and seeing stars.
"You're too dirty, I have OCD."
Kino put away his camera.
"It's nothing, I meant I was sorry."
Barry shook his head, looking at the headless corpse on the ground.
What about him?
"That's fine, let's go find your teammates first."
Kino opened a portal and went in first.
The headless corpse on the ground had disappeared.
Despite his many questions, Barry could only hurry after him and step into the mysterious portal.
Although this Superman has a somewhat wicked sense of humor, he also seems quite powerful.
Refuge.
Besides Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Shazam.
There's also Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Zatanna, Martian Manhunter.
They all joined the battle in the later stages, but by then the situation was beyond saving, and their arrival ultimately failed to reverse the tide of the war.
"How is the child?"
Wonder Woman's severed arm had stopped bleeding, and she looked worriedly at the disabled child in the life support device.
Half of his face was burned beyond recognition, and his lower body had disappeared, leaving only a charred section. He lay quietly on the bed, his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, almost indistinguishable from a Deadman.
"How should I know? Be quiet."
"Heal!"
Zatanna kept using irony.
However, Billy's situation did not improve at all.
"There's a force within this child that's constantly destroying his body, but we can't expel it right now. Besides, the child is fully conscious; if..."
Doctor Fate stopped abruptly at this point, but everyone understood what he hadn't finished saying.
Nevertheless, his hands never stopped moving, the golden magical barrier acting like a thin protective film, barely sustaining Billy's fragile life.
However, this method was undoubtedly constantly depleting his own magical power, and even with the help of Nabu, it was only delaying Billy's death.
"I'll do it!"
Wonder Woman paused for a few seconds, then went to the bedside and gently stroked Billy's still relatively unharmed face with her left hand.
"Sorry."
Her fingers pressed gently against Billy's chest; the precise and powerful movement that had once been on the battlefield was now filled with hesitation and reluctance.
She never imagined that one day she would kill a child, who was also her comrade-in-arms.
No one present stopped them; they all silently turned their heads away.
Continuing like this will only increase the child's suffering; perhaps it would be better to end things sooner.
Just a second before they were about to make their move, a portal appeared in the room.
As soon as Kino appeared, he saw the attack coming at him.
"Darkseid's people!"
"Ecnarf fo enarbmem eht tuohtiw ydob ym otni gniyrrac"
Zatanna recited the incantation.
A massive wave of fire crashed down on Kino with overwhelming force, scorching and distorting the air wherever it went.
At the same time, Doctor Fate summoned a dazzling beam of energy, which shot straight at Kino like a deadly arrow.
The others realized what was happening too.
The Cyborg white noise cannon is charging up.
Green Lantern materialized a heavy machine gun.
Martian Manhunter hurtled toward Kino like a cannonball.
Hawkman unfurled his enormous wings, lifted a heavy iron hammer, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Wonder Woman didn't hesitate to pick up God-Slaying Sword and charge at Kino without regard for anything else.
"I like this welcoming ceremony."
Kino was surprised by this unexpected arrival.
"Cancel."
As Kino uttered two words, Zatanna's magical flames vanished instantly, as if wiped away by an invisible hand, disappearing completely as if they had never existed.
"I heard you're very hard?"
Kino grabbed Martian Manhunter, the fastest of the three, and before Martian Manhunter could react, Kino used him as a shield to block the energy beam shot by Doctor Fate.
Immediately afterwards, Kino gave a powerful shove, and Martian Manhunter flew towards Hawkman like a cannonball.
With a loud bang, the two men slammed heavily against the wall, leaving a huge, human-shaped crater.
Then, he approached Green Lantern, and before Green Lantern could react, Kino snatched the heavy machine gun from his hand.
Without hesitation, Kino turned his gun, aimed it at Cyborg, and pulled the trigger.
The moment Cyborg hesitated, he was engulfed by bullets.
Green Lantern canceled the object's manifestation, and just as he was about to materialize a fist to knock the guy away, the ring on his hand disappeared.
You were distracted just now.
Kino shook the Lantern Ring in her hand.
"You..."
Green Lantern's pupils contracted, and the next second he was thrown at Cyborg.
Kino casually tossed the ring aside and slightly turned to the side.
A sharp slash swept past him, cutting a long crack in the hard ground.
"Go to hell!"
Wonder Woman roared, the blood from her severed arm seemingly boiling in her rage.
Ignoring her injuries, she launched a series of attacks on Kino with even greater ferocity.
The severed arm did not become a burden for her; on the contrary, it made her attacks even more frenzied and dangerous.
"You all like to wear your weaknesses on your sleeves."
"What?"
Wonder Woman only saw a blur before her eyes, and the enemy who was just inches away suddenly vanished.
Before she could react, the next second, she was tightly bound by the Lasso of Truth, and like a bound prey, she fell heavily to the ground.
"May I borrow it?"
Bang! Bang!
Kino appeared behind Doctor Fate, took off his helmet, and smashed it on the old man's head, then hit Zatanna next to him.
Finish!
Take out your camera and take a few close-up shots.
[6.66 seconds, perfect numbers, I give this a perfect 10.]
Venom's voice, full of laughter, rang out.
