Chapter 497 Solar Flare
"If that were the case, we would have died long ago."
Reed turned back to look at his old friend.
"Didn't NASA give you some basic science education?"
"I just woke up, and my head is still a bit foggy."
Ben scratched his head sheepishly. After regaining his senses, he realized how outrageous his words were.
"However, the explosion at that altitude, and we can still see it so clearly from this distance, its power is truly terrifying."
Reed looked at the aftermath of the explosion in the air with lingering fear. If an explosion of that magnitude had occurred on the ground, New York City would definitely be razed to the ground, and perhaps New York State would disappear from the map.
In front of superhuman beings, ordinary people are indeed like ants. For the first time, Reed understood why those ordinary people feared mutants. After witnessing that miracle-like explosion, Reed felt a desire and awe for power for the first time in his life.
"Something is falling from the sky!"
Ben pointed to the sky. Something like a meteor was falling from the sky at a constant speed. According to Reed's estimation, its final landing position was likely about one or two kilometers ahead of them.
"We need to leave quickly." Reed helped Ben up from the ground. "Can you still move, soldier?"
"Of course, bookworm." Ben didn't show weakness. "I could even carry Johnny on my back."
Reed understood the hidden meaning in Ben's words, but he just smiled and shook his head. Then, he carried the still unconscious Johnny on his back. Ben had done too much strenuous exercise before. Although his stamina was definitely not as good as Ben's, he could at least help share some of the burden.
"We'll switch later." Reed stopped Ben from saying anything more. Then, he took the lead and walked forward. Susan followed closely behind Reed, in case his stamina gave out, and also to monitor Johnny's state.
Seeing this, Ben didn't act coyly and quickly followed, recovering his stamina to be ready to take over at any time.
"Boom!"
After the group walked a hundred meters, an earth-shattering sound suddenly came from behind them. Then, the ground shook, as if it were an earthquake. Reed and the others knew that was the sound of that thing landing.
...
Thousands of meters away from Reed and the others, there was a huge pit that had just been smashed out. Intense high temperatures emanated from inside the pit, and even scattered flames were visible. From a distance, one could even see the distortions caused by the high temperature.
In the center of the pit lay a black sphere, as tall as a human. It seemed that was the true identity of the meteor.
Suddenly, the sphere began to shake violently. Relying on the momentum generated by the shaking, the sphere actually rolled out of the pit, drew the first arc in the air, and then smashed onto the ground.
The sphere that landed on the ground gradually unfolded, and finally transformed into a burly creature with snow-white skin all over its body, but covered with a layer of black shell on its back, no head, and facial features growing on its chest.
Seeing the Omnitrix symbol on its belly, one could tell that this was Yang Le, who had transformed into a B'rellian Pelarota. Of course, you could also call him by another name—Cannonbolt.
The biggest characteristic of this alien hero is the layer of shell on his body, which can almost be described as absolute defense. The armor grown on ordinary creatures can almost only resist one type of attack.
For example, if you are very strong in resisting physical attack, you may not have such high resistance to magic damage. However, Cannonbolt is different. His shell treats all damage equally.
Physical damage can be blocked, magic damage can be blocked, and even acid or other chemical agents can be resisted. It can be said that as long as you don't break Cannonbolt's shell, it is impossible to hurt him.
The most talked-about point about Cannonbolt is that he perfectly demonstrated Ben Tennyson's combat talent.
The B'rellian Pelarota is a race known for peace. The entire race does not have a warrior. When encountering danger, they only know how to escape and be beaten. However, as soon as Ben Tennyson got started, he immediately figured out how Cannonbolt should fight. It can only be said that he is indeed a reckless person.
The first time Yang Le used Cannonbolt, he also valued his defensive ability. That shell could allow him to return from the universe to Earth unscathed, just with a bit of bumpiness upon landing.
As for why Yang Le didn't use Superman to fly back, it was all because of the ultimate move he just released. According to comics, that is actually the ultimate technique that Superman only possessed after the New 52.
Solar Flare is an ultimate move that concentrates all the solar energy stored in Superman's body to one point and then releases it. Even Superman in a normal state can use this move to raze a city to the ground, let alone Yang Le who had just absorbed solar energy.
It can be said that if Yang Le had released it a little slower, and waited for Target Number One to fly closer before using Solar Flare, although it would have greatly increased the chance of killing the opponent, Yang Le himself would also have been caught in it.
If he were in Superman form, it would be okay, at most half-dead. However, after releasing Solar Flare, there would be a debuff, which is losing superpower for a period of time.
After all, all the solar energy in the body is released. If you want to regain superpower, you naturally have to re-absorb yellow sun radiation. Generally speaking, it will take up to a week, and at least several days.
During this period, the omnipotent Kryptonian would become no different from ordinary humans and naturally could not survive in outer space. At this time, the Omnitrix, detecting this phenomenon, triggered the protection mechanism and forcibly transformed Yang Le from Kryptonian into Cannonbolt.
Then Yang Le broke through the atmosphere like a meteor and returned to Earth.
Wiping away non-existent sweat from his body, Yang Le looked up at the sky. He didn't know if he had actually dealt with Target Number One.
This is because Cannonbolt does not actually possess the ability to survive in outer space. Because Cannonbolt must breathe oxygen to survive, even if their physical strength can support them to survive in the universe, they cannot stay in the universe for long.
So after transforming into Cannonbolt, Yang Le returned to Earth as soon as possible. But when he saw a black dot in the sky, he immediately had the answer.
"Motherfucker." Yang Le cursed in a low voice. That black dot magnified at an extremely fast speed and finally stopped not far above Yang Le's head, which was Target Number One, completely naked.
Originally, there were still some rags on his body, but after breaking through the atmosphere, they were burned to nothing. Yang Le was forced to become a birdwatcher.
"You son of a bitch are definitely not Hulk."
Yang Le said firmly. Neither the opponent's form nor the ability displayed looked like what a Gamma Energy Monster should have.
Hulk can't fly.
