Chapter 355 Corianda
"Tony, keep an eye on him!"
"Professor X, don't use your intuition! Kryptonians have a mechanism to deal with this; it might just wake him up!"
"Bannerbo, if anything unexpected happens, I'll need you to transform. Do you understand what I mean?"
Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Nam the Kryptonian have all temporarily lost their fighting abilities. After Joey finished explaining the aftermath, he leaped up and chased after Fiora's trail.
Tony, who had created a mess, also flew into the air along with Joey. The Amozzo mech began to mimic the Kryptonian's abilities and synchronized with Joey's speed in a second.
"Go back, Tony, it's dangerous!"
Iron Man took Joey's attempt to persuade him to turn back as a sign of his temper: "Are you angry with me?"
The mess he was in was ultimately caused by him bringing Quicksilver to the base. As for why he didn't take Quicksilver to Spider-Man and the Green Lantern Corps for further interrogation, it was because Tony had already anticipated why Quicksilver would go to such lengths to kill him.
Tony, who was always concerned about his image, didn't want to expose this mess in front of a bunch of Spider-Men and embarrass himself.
"That's not true. Why would I be angry with you?"
Joey had a general idea of Tony's motives for causing this mess. After comforting Tony, he silently sighed to himself.
To be honest, he couldn't care less about being angry right now. Before catching up with Fiora, anything he said would be meaningless.
Considering that the Kryptonians were able to chase him all the way to the Invincible Young Hero's universe, cross-dimensional communication wouldn't be a difficult task for them.
Fiora would try to contact the other end at the slightest chance, and once that happens, things will spiral out of control.
Seeing Tony determined to catch up, Joey didn't know what to say: "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just—"
Fiora is not like Joey, a Kryptonian who would definitely hold back when not in a rage. She is a cold-blooded and ruthless soldier and assassin, and Tony might be a breakthrough point in the past.
With another glance in the direction of the spider army, Joey felt reassured and stopped trying to persuade them, simply letting them follow him in pursuit of Fiora.
"Alright, just follow me, Tony, be careful."
They caught up with Fiora in no time, not because they were faster, but because Fiora stopped.
As if realizing that it would be difficult to shake off the pursuers, Fiora changed her plans to fly into outer space and instead stopped directly above New York City, less than ten miles above the ground, waiting for Joey to arrive.
"You've caught up with me, Karl El."
As Joey approached, Fiora shrugged: "So, how do you plan to lock me up again?"
Having simulated Kryptonian abilities for the first time, Tony could feel the power and speed of his armor reaching an incredible peak. Hearing such provocation, he immediately prepared to rush forward and capture the opponent on the spot.
"That's for sure—"
"etc!"
Joey reached out and stopped Tony, who was about to rush forward: "It's too close to the city center."
Fiora's meaning was clear: if they wanted to lock her up again, they would have to pay a price.
After Galactus wreaked havoc here, Manhattan has not been fully rebuilt to this day. It is obvious what will happen when two Kryptonians in their prime fight in the skies above New York City.
Both sides were caught in a brief standoff, hesitant to act for fear of inadvertently, and with nowhere to escape.
Until Fiora's seemingly nonchalant eyes narrowed, and she suddenly erupted.
She burst forth with speed far exceeding that of Quicksilver before, and the Kryptonian blades on her wrists popped out, aiming straight for Tony's throat.
Fiora's combat strategy remained direct and decisive. Just as Joey had predicted, she chose to target the weakest link between the two first.
In this battle, even with the Amoro Core that can mimic the abilities of Kryptonians, Tony is undoubtedly the weakest of the three due to Jarvis's processing speed.
With a flick of his finger, Joey deflected the incoming blade, grabbed Fiora's outstretched wrist, and with a twist of his body, punched her away.
Seeing that Fiora showed no sign of stabilizing herself and was hurtling backward like a cannonball, about to crash into the building, Joey had no choice but to go down with her and try to pull her back to counteract her momentum.
Fiora had been waiting for just such an opportunity. Under the influence of the bio-force field, her body came to an abrupt stop in mid-air, narrowly missing Joey, who was swooping down recklessly.
"That's why you're always so passive, Karl El!"
After trash-talking, Fiora immediately followed up with a spinning sweeping leg kick that created a sonic boom, sending the anxious Joey flying. Then she wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth.
Despite having obtained relevant information from Jor El, Karl El's evolution speed still exceeded Fiora's expectations.
In terms of reaction time, agility, and strength, Jor-El, Fiora’s son who had no combat skills, had overwhelmingly surpassed any Kryptonian Fiora had ever seen.
Unfortunately, he was distracted by too many useless things, and was unable to concentrate and give his all when it came to achieving his goals.
Take the matter of seizing control of oneself, for example. If the two of them switched roles, Fiora would have about nine ways to subdue or even kill the other party within ten minutes if she went all out, while Karl El could not do so.
What kind of person would gamble that they wouldn't flee because of the casualties in half the city, and even bring about more serious consequences?
Compared to Joe Al, who always prioritized his tasks, his son was utterly inadequate.
On the other side, Joey, who was backing away out of control, crashed into the Osborne Building, which had just been rebuilt into a framework. Before he could even regain his footing, a giant baseball glove made of pure green light materialized and caught him.
"Catcher in position! Superman hasn't even landed yet, does this count as a catch?"
"No, Parker 1321, that's not how baseball works. That's just a strike at best."
"Shouldn't it be a bad ball?"
"It depends on which side you're on! We're definitely on Superman's side!"
"But isn't 'Chao' a baseball in this context?"
Such an unconventional statement clearly indicates that the Green Lantern Spider-Men have already arrived on the battlefield.
Led by Batman, one Peter Parker or other Spider-Men after another burst through the air.
"Ahem!" Batman, surrounded by spiders, maintained his composure, completely unaffected by their neuroticism: "Seriously! Define the engagement zone and protect the city!"
"no problem!"
After acquiring the Green Lantern Ring, they truly couldn't suppress their wild impulses for a moment. The green light of their will blotted out the sky, extending out into a huge square space from Joey, confining Fiora and Joey within it.
The Spider-Men used their green willpower to create an entire baseball field out of thin air, and they even remembered to tuck Tony back into the safe stands:
"Base and third base, and the spectators are all ready. Anyone want to hit a home run?"
These Spider-Men acted swiftly, the baseball glove covering Joey rapidly transforming into the shape of a baseball, which they swung, sending Joey flying as he regained his footing.
"This is our exhilarating combo attack!"
Riding the momentum of the green light baseball bat, Joey ran from home plate towards the pitcher's plate, the center of the field where Fiola was located:
"This farce is over!"
Joey was fed up with being held back for fear of hurting ordinary people. With the protection of nearly a hundred Green Lanterns present, he was determined to make Fiora never forget this punch!
Facing a punch powerful enough to break the bones of an armored Kryptonian, Fiora, with nowhere to run, remained calm. She didn't even attempt to dodge; she simply floated in the air, completely defenseless.
"I surrender."
The fist stopped at the last moment in front of Fiora, and the resulting gust of wind even tore through her biofield, leaving a small bloodstain on one side of her face.
Fiora's lack of resistance just now was a gamble, and it seems that she did see the cards beforehand.
This is another problem with Karl El: he's always too kind, even towards his enemies.
"Hundreds of Green Lanterns? Your abilities certainly exceed your father's expectations."
Fiora thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how Green Lantern got involved with Kal-El until she saw Batman among the Spider-Lanterns and immediately understood what was going on.
Of course, she still had to endure it for a while longer:
"Fine, I have nowhere to run. You win. Now you're going to lock me up again?"
"Hmph." Joey, who had just stopped throwing a punch, snorted and turned to have the Green Lanterns take control of Fiora.
Fiora is considered Jor-El's right-hand woman, so killing her would only strain his relationship with Krypton even further.
"Want to be a good-tempered leader?"
After Fiora was imprisoned, her previously taciturn mouth began to reveal information.
From the moment she saw Batman, she suspected that he hadn't told Kal-El this, and now it was time for her to say it:
Did that bat tell you what happened to Corianda?
The question is whether Karl El will be able to remain as calm as he was before after learning this news.
Upon hearing the phrase "Kolianda," Joey whirled around, her eyes flashing red: "What did you say?!"
"Kollianda" is the pronunciation of the language of the planet Tamaran, which translates directly to "spark" in Earth's language.
"Oh~ Even though there is such a vast trans-time stream between our two universes, that bat had at least several hours to prepare, but he still chose not to tell you."
Fiora knew she had guessed correctly again; after all, revealing such things could greatly influence one's judgment.
"If that's the case, why don't you ask the bat yourself?"
