"----So disgusting?!"

Zhent held the half-dead Doctor Light in mid-air with one hand. The ground was covered with the stumps of the Sky Eye Bureau agents who had not had time to run away.

But there is still one person standing.

This person was wearing a semi-armored battle suit that was different from the A.R.G.U.S. agent. The armor on his body was not completely covered, but exposed the structure of countless gears and levers.

There is also a shining white hourglass icon on the chest.

Originally Zhent didn't take the opponent seriously. Viltrum sprinted all the way trying to run over the opponent as a speed bump.

But just when he was still a few meters away from the opponent, the hourglass on the opponent's armor chest lit up white, and then the gears all over his body turned, and Zhent found himself back in the air.

Then he charged a few more times without believing in evil, but the result was the same every time.

As expected of DC, a talent might pop up from nowhere.

Of course, the guy on the ground was also extremely nervous looking at Zhent flying in the air.

In fact, when the entire A.R.G.U.S. base staff evacuated in a hurry just now, he didn't pay much attention to it.

What no one knows is that Chronos was originally a Supervillain.

When he was studying the relationship between the atomic field and time in prison, he accidentally figured out the short-distance Time Device. Later, because he was attacked by Atom when he committed a crime after his release, and he was jealous of his achievements in the atomic field, he became Atom's old enemy.

But that guy Atom is so Buddhist as a Superhero.

Ray Palmer disappeared at every turn, making Chronos feel that Supervillain's career was equally boring for a while.

So he quietly changed part of his personal history, erased his criminal record, and helped Ray Palmer protect the city when he was away from Ivy Town.

Then I received an olive branch from A.R.G.U.S..

Although it is not a complete change of heart, Chronos still cares about this job.

Every time Amanda was sent out to do confidential tasks with a group of agents, the admiring looks from his colleagues around him always made him feel as if he really was such a person.

But in fact, Chronos himself is not very capable. If he were allowed to take off this time jump armor, ten of him might not be the opponent of an ordinary agent of the Sky Eye Bureau.

But it was precisely because of trust in his own armor that Chronos didn't take most of Metahumans to heart.

But the arrival of Zhent made him sweat a little.

The other party first smashed the surrounding agents like a cake being run over by a truck.

Then the other party mistakenly thought that he was an important person because of this armor, and he was grabbed at a speed that he couldn't react at all, and his hands and feet were torn off in mid-air.

Because of pain and fear, Chronos turned on the armor's defense mode after going back in time when he was about to die.

If your own nerve reaction speed cannot beat the armor, you can only rely on the reaction speed of the miniature Supercomputer that comes with the armor.

The so-called defense mode means that once danger comes, the armor will automatically start backtracking within the area, and all atomic movements in the A.R.G.U.S. area will return to a specific time.

No matter how dangerous the situation is, Chronos is in an absolutely safe category until the energy of the armor is exhausted.

But the armor's energy will run out sooner or later. If the opponent just stares at you and kills you, you will die when the hourglass on your chest stops flashing.

But Chronos couldn't help but beg for mercy, so he could only stand there pretending to be arrogant and stare at the other party without saying a word.

The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and Chronos saw that the other party actually smiled.

"It's a very interesting ability. I've never encountered you before - pure physical power has its limitations after all. Join me and I can spare your life."

Zhent Of course he could see that the other party was scared, and his legs were shaking unconsciously.

This shows that apart from some achievements in scientific research, this guy's own psychological quality is just like that.

Chronos was immediately excited when he heard that he no longer had to die and could still follow a new boss decently.

But because the killings Zhent had just done and the several dives directed at him were too scary, Chronos realized at this time that all the muscles in his body had stiffened due to extreme fear.

The kind that can't even speak.

Zhent looked at the trembling gear-armored man and sneered, Yellow Light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't resist."

A Negative Zone crack unfolded behind Chronos, absorbing it.

Then Zhent fell from the air, stepped on the remains of the dead A.R.G.U.S. agent in a pool of flesh and blood, and listened quietly for a while.

In the underground Tunnel, Green Arrow, who finally arrived at the evacuation point, happened to be blocked by Black Canary and Steve Trevor in low voices, and fired a blasting arrow at the black van that was trying to drive towards the end of Tunnel again.

The arrow shot diagonally into the bottom of the van, and the rumbling shock wave overturned the extremely sturdy van. At the same time, after being blocked by layers, the subtle explosion sound was simultaneously captured by Zhent's ears.

Unfamiliarly controlling Force Field to cover the surface of A.R.G.U.S. base, Zhent stamped his foot violently.

The ground and the buildings above hundreds of meters in radius stood up like playing cards blown up by the strong wind.

The originally hidden and complicated underground emergency passage is as clear as a maze viewed from a high altitude.

In one of the holes, Green Arrow picked up Princess Black Canary, Commander Steve Trevor looked at a loss, and Amanda Waller barely climbed out of the overturned van, all looking horrified at the same time.

Zhent pierced the huge earth and stone cover with one hand, threw it aside, jumped up amid the roar and splashing dust, and slowly floated towards Amanda Waller.

He completely ignored Green Arrow and others, and just quietly admired Amanda's ugly appearance at the moment.

Steve Trevor subconsciously drew his gun, but before he could raise the muzzle, he was kicked away by Green Arrow who was finally holding his wife.

Just kidding, if you want to die, don't drag others with you. If you don't leave now, it will be later.

Amanda was breathing heavily, and the fat on his face was shaking wildly. He looked at Zhent, who was already close at hand, looking down at him from a high place. His fearful heartbeat could be clearly heard through the thick lump of fat.

"Where is Rachel?"

Zhent asked indifferently, Yellow Vertical Pupils stared at the other party without blinking.

Amanda had a stream of liquid flowing out from between his legs, and the smell was pungent.

She collapsed and screamed.

"What Rachel? I don't know! If you dare to kill me, you are making an enemy of the United States government!"

Huh?

Zhent glanced back, and the invisible pressure made Green Arrow, who was holding Black Canary, planning to leave quietly, and Steve Trevor, who was crawling on the ground, stiffened.

Several sound explosions came from the sky.

Looking up, he saw that Superman, Martian Manhunter, Shazam, and DC Universe's three strong hands were already hovering in a triangular position in mid-air, surrounding him.

Superman spoke first.

"Rachel was not kidnapped by Amanda. In fact, we just sent her to a safe place."

Shazam obviously didn't know what happened, but looked at Zhent with a worried look.

"Man, don't do anything stupid!"

Zhent narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly grinned.

"Then I know, he's back, right - otherwise I really can't think of anyone who would be the first to consider Rachel."

Superman breathed a sigh of relief.

"We don't need to take things to this point. Even if there are several of us in a world, we can still live in harmony. Don't you think I--"

"You don't understand anything, Superman. He came back too early. After Flash wakes up, the world will usher in a soft restart, and there will only be one left between him and me."

Zhent seemed a little helpless. Yellow Vertical Pupils turned back to black eyes in a very short period of time, and his expression was inevitably a little lonely.

But in an instant, the yellow light of the Lord of Fear once again covered his eyes.

After returning to his ruthless indifference, Zhent's image began to change.

The boy's figure swelled up like a balloon when Yellow Light was filled.

In just a few seconds, Zhent transformed into a ferocious giant with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, with bulging muscles all over his body, and his biceps were bigger than Shane's head.

The clothes on his body were also filled with Yellow Light, transforming into a set of thick and bright yellow and black armor.

Although he is no more than a thousand years old, Viltrumite should still be a young man, but some wrinkles appear on his face and his temples are stained with gray.

He opened his mouth again, his voice thick and steady.

"Then I don't have to pretend anymore."

Then Emperor Zhent looked at Amanda Waller who was paralyzed with fear.

"Your government knows what kind of being you have provoked for them? From the moment you peek into Monarch's residence, you are a capital offender, you bastard!"
