Chapter 875 Backing Up
Twenty superhuman power-types surpassing Bane simultaneously besieged them, coupled with an unknown number of enemy reinforcements. For the current Young Justice League, this was basically a dead end.
However, Robin couldn't be blamed for this. After all, no one would have expected things to escalate so dramatically. What was originally just a struggle between two gangs had now involved a super criminal organization that even the Justice League knew nothing about.
But even so, Robin still felt self-blame. As a captain, he should have pulled his team members back when he found Cobra Venom, but he insisted on staying to see who was at the top of the Cobra Cult.
This decision wasted a lot of their retreat time. If they had retreated immediately after collecting the information, they should have already been flying to Justice Mountain by now, instead of fleeing in panic on Saint Prisca Island.
Beads of sweat seeped from Robin's forehead, but because he was running away at high speed, they kept flying backwards. At this moment, he was racking his brain to come up with a method to protect everyone.
'What would Batman do? What would Batman do?'
Robin's head was about to split from thinking, but he just couldn't think of a usable method. This was normal, because the current Robin, whether in experience or courage, was far inferior to Batman.
Robin's true growth would have to wait until the moment he no longer wanted to be Batman, but to become Nightwing.
Habby could clearly feel everyone's feelings through telepathy, so of course he could feel Robin's regret. He also guessed that Robin must be thinking about how Batman would break the situation.
Yang Le could tell him the answer to this, which was to make a tough sacrifice.
Yes, as an excellent leader, one should ensure the safety of all team members, but sometimes to protect the main troops, it is necessary to sacrifice a small part.
The entire Justice League was very clear about this, and they all supported this approach. As long as it could save the majority, they didn't mind becoming the sacrificed minority.
This was a very cruel thing, but it was also a necessary thing. In comics, superheroes had made such compromises more than once, and it was precisely these great sacrifices that had brought about great victories time and time again.
But these were things that the current Robin couldn't do. He was just a child, without Batman's decisiveness, and without the determination to live on bearing several lives.
At this time, someone needed to make a decision for him.
'This won't work.' Habby's sound rang in everyone's heads. 'We need someone to back up the rear, otherwise everyone will be left here.'
These words made all the children shudder. They were very clear about what backing up the rear meant. The best situation was being captured, and the worst...
'I'll stay behind!' Aqualad said firmly. 'I'm the oldest person in this team, so naturally I should be the one to stay.'
'No, I should be the one to stay.' Wonder Girl didn't agree. 'I have the strongest solo combat power among us, I should be the one to stay.'
'I run the fastest, I should be the one to attract them.' Wally also refused to admit defeat.
It wasn't just these three who spoke first. Robin and Martian Manhunter, who hadn't had time to speak, had the same idea, but one was because his thoughts were in chaos, and the other because his state hadn't recovered, so they spoke a little slower.
But as the initiator of this plan, Yang Le did not agree with what any of them said.
'This is the plan I proposed, so I get to decide who stays.'
As soon as he finished speaking, the horns on Habby's head lit up with a dazzling crimson light. The Young Justice League, unprepared for their teammate, instantly had their body control seized. The former only issued them a simple order.
Retreat.
Ignoring the children's efforts to break free from the confinement, Yang Le gradually slowed his footsteps until he stopped, silently nodding as he watched the back views of the children getting further and further away.
Feeling the ground tremble, and the roar getting closer and closer from behind, Yang Le turned his head and sure enough found that those enhanced human cultists were almost rushing to his side.
'Although the outcome of this clone is a great sacrifice, I still have some business to finish and can't sacrifice myself now, and dying at the hands of a gang of thugs doesn't count as a great sacrifice.'
Yang Le jumped a few times in place, constantly doing warm-up exercise. As he moved, a faint white light lit up under the carapace on his chest.
No matter what alien hero the Omnitrix wearer transforms into, even if their appearances are strange and varied, and their abilities are ever-changing, they all have one thing in common, and that is the Omnitrix symbol.
The Mutant naturally also had the Omnitrix symbol on his body, which was clearly inlaid in the center of his chest, just like a color timer. At first, it could be covered by clothes, but after joining the Young Justice League, a physical examination was inevitable. When the clothes came off, it couldn't be hidden.
So, in order not to be discovered by the Young Justice League about the connection between himself and the main body, Yang Le specially made a carapace for the Mutant clone that was similar in structure to his own, and hung it on his chest, which perfectly blocked the Omnitrix symbol.
By the way, the technology for making the carapace was provided by Godstick Reed, which was the same technology as the uniform he invented that could adapt to the wearer's superpower. Therefore, the invisibility carapace would also become invisible together.
The carapace on his chest overflowed with light, which meant that the clone had used the power of the Omnitrix after many months. This was inevitable because the Mutant's strength was really not enough in front of as many as twenty enhanced humans.
Of course, because this identity could not be abandoned for the time being, Yang Le could not directly transform into other alien heroes, but even so, he still had two paths to take.
First, Fusion Hero. Yang Le could use the Mutant as the main body and other alien heroes as auxiliaries for fusion, thereby enhancing his combat power to break the situation.
Second, simpler, Yang Le could directly use the Ultimate Evolution he obtained a few months ago, transform into an Ultimate Mutant, and greatly enhance his strength.
But for Yang Le, who was an adult, children make choices, adults definitely want everything.
As the person who personally dug a pit for the Illuminati, Yang Le always remembered what he wrote in his own experiment record.
His current identity, O Weapon, was a perfect mutant who could perfectly fuse superhuman abilities. Since he was a perfect mutant, having a few more abilities wouldn't be a big deal, right?
Since you are so confident in your strength now, then let's compete in strength.
Yang Le vanished from sight with a hint of a smile. This made the enhanced human cultists who were chasing after him lose their target. They immediately stopped and looked around, but saw nothing.
So they prepared to lose Yang Le, and instead went to chase the Young Justice League who had already run out a distance. But at this time, an unexpected change occurred.
"Bang!"
