Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 688 Parallax Monster Arrives

The famous Green Lantern Corps is helpless against the Parallax monsters. They can only watch the Parallax monsters grow stronger and sacrifice other civilizations to buy time.

There is no need for the Galaxy Monitor, as the Parallax monster can be dealt with directly. With such a comparison, does the Galaxy Supervisor become more powerful?
Therefore, this is also the reason why Luther will appear. He wants to improve his qualifications and identity as a galaxy monitor.

In the vast universe, a huge shadow quietly crossed the low-Earth orbit, like a silent giant, quietly moving towards the American Seaside City in California.

This shadow is not an ordinary celestial body, but a cosmic creature named "Parallax Monster" by the Green Lantern Corps.

The body of Parallax Monster is huge, like a dark mountain floating in the universe.

Its skin is a deep, inky black, and its surface is covered with pits and depressions, like ancient ruins eroded by time.

The most eye-catching thing is its pair of yellow lantern eyes, which shine coldly in the darkness, like two huge stars, exuding a heart-stopping pressure.

The Parallax Monster moved slowly, its tentacles like huge vines stretching out in the universe, exploring the road ahead.

Although its speed is not fast, every step is full of power, as if the entire universe is trembling with its steps.

The Parallax monster stared at its pair of yellow lantern eyes, greed and cruelty shining in its eyes.

Just as the Parallax monster was about to arrive, the Earth's defense system, which had been prepared for a long time, also discovered its traces.

Its goal is clear - Beach City.

It can't wait to make this city the first target of its invasion of the earth, and wants to use the fear and despair of the people here to replenish its energy.

Their speed is so fast that they seem to be able to travel through time and space, conveying human hope and determination to everyone who witnesses this spectacular scene.

As the rocket engine roared, the three nuclear warheads were like arrows, piercing the sky and speeding towards the location of the Parallax Monster.

However, releasing a nuclear bomb in outer space is not a simple matter.

It seemed that it had seen the prosperity and beauty of the coastal city, and the scenes of innocent people struggling in fear.

Experts on Earth know very well that the power of nuclear bombs will be greatly reduced in a vacuum.

These nuclear warheads are different from conventional weapons in that they are specially designed to adapt to the outer space environment and can release maximum power in a vacuum.

In a secret military base located in Earth orbit, three specially-made nuclear warheads were carefully prepared.

In the vast universe, the vacuum is like a dead ocean, swallowing up all sounds and fluctuations.

This city on the west coast of America is the hometown of Hal Jordan. However, at this moment, this peaceful city is about to usher in an unprecedented disaster.

Shock waves and mushroom clouds are frightening phenomena on earth, but they are useless in the universe.

Because there is no air as a medium, the shock wave cannot propagate, and the mushroom cloud also loses the conditions for its formation.

The heat energy released when a nuclear bomb explodes will spread rapidly in the vacuum at the speed of light, just like a drop of ink dropped into the sea, and it will instantly dissipate without a trace. However, humans did not give up.

They understand that although a nuclear bomb cannot produce an explosion in the traditional sense in a vacuum, the heat and light it releases may still cause some damage to the Parallax Monster.

Especially those high-energy rays, such as gamma rays and X-rays, which are not affected by the air and can penetrate the universe, becoming humans' weapon against parallax monsters.

As the nuclear warhead flew closer and closer, the huge body of the Parallax monster gradually became clear.

It seemed like a huge creature floating in the universe, its body covered with tentacles and mouthparts. Each mouthpart was as deep as a black hole, devouring everything around it.

Its body exudes a strange purple light, as if it is a demon crawling out of hell.

However, at this critical moment, the huge and strange body of the Parallax monster suddenly moved.

Its huge tentacles squirmed slightly in the vacuum of the universe, like living snakes looking for prey. Finally, they aimed at the three nuclear warheads floating quietly in front of them.

Then, the ferocious mouthparts expanded like petals, revealing a complex structure that shimmered with light inside.

Immediately afterwards, a golden beam of energy spurted out from the center of the Parallax Monster's mouthparts. This beam of light was like a golden torrent, rushing straight towards the three nuclear warheads with a destructive momentum.

In the dark deep space universe, this golden light was extremely dazzling, instantly illuminating everything around it and swallowing up the originally deep darkness.

Under the illumination of this light, the nuclear warheads seemed to be frozen. They stagnated in the air for a moment, and then suddenly exploded.

However, because it exploded in a vacuum, the power of the nuclear bomb did not cause as much damage as people imagined.

They simply emit streaks of bright light and intense radiation that flicker across the universe and then quickly dissipate, as if it were just a brief fireworks display.

Parallax seemed to have anticipated all this, and it did not flinch from the explosion of the nuclear bomb. Instead, it continued to emit golden energy beams, clearing away obstacles in front of it one by one.

These obstacles may be meteorites, asteroids, or other unknown celestial bodies in the universe. Facing the powerful power of the Parallax Monster, they were powerless to fight back, and a wide and straight passage was quickly cleared.

The Parallax Monster's movement speed accelerated instantly. It was like a red-hot meteorite, carrying a long tail and roaring towards the surface.

Its size is gradually increasing, and its light is becoming more and more dazzling, as if it is going to swallow up the entire city. People in Beach City began to feel unprecedented fear and despair.

They looked up at the sky and saw a huge fireball approaching the ground rapidly. The fireball was larger than any celestial body they had ever seen, and its light was more dazzling than any star.

It carries the breath of destruction and rushes towards this innocent city.

On the streets of the city, people ran in panic, trying to escape this place that was about to be destroyed. They screamed and shouted, their voices filled with fear and despair.

However, the Parallax Monster was so fast that they couldn't escape. Fear spread among the crowd like a plague, and everyone was filled with a sense of despair and powerlessness.
