Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: A-Zu on Thin Ice

Looking at the chaotic scene and the guards pointing weapons at him, David's figure flickered, moving in front of the nearest guard.

His palm, like lightning, grabbed the latter's face and lifted him.

Under everyone's gaze, the guard's body instantly withered, looking like someone eighty or ninety years old.

Feeling the life force he gained from the guard's body, David casually tossed him aside.

"Crash!"

The chandelier above the luxurious hall was struck by the thrown body, falling to the ground and scattering glass shards.

David, already parasitic by an alien, possessed Super Strength and Super Speed far beyond ordinary people, and quickly dealt with the gunmen surrounding him.

Peter, who was on the second floor, immediately moved to the first floor at the fastest speed after hearing the sounds from downstairs.

What he saw was David cruelly killing the guards.

After easily dealing with the guards, David did not attack the terrified crowd but walked directly towards Leno on the second floor.

Leno was somewhat stunned, not expecting his subordinates to be dealt with so quickly by the opponent.

By the time he reacted, David had already arrived in front of him.

"Mr. Leno, we can cooperate, why must we fight each other?"

"What?"

Leno looked at him in shock, not knowing what the other party was planning.

"This Planet is being destroyed by humans. Humans live only to drain the Earth's life force, like parasites. Only we can save this Planet."

His voice held a hint of hoarseness, "If you submit to me, and use your resources, Leno Luther, we can make this World different."

Leno listened to the other party's insane speech, taking a step back, "You parasitic monster!"

Although he considered himself not a good person most of the time, cooperation with such a monster was absolutely impossible.

As soon as his voice fell, a Shadow suddenly appeared behind him!

"Boom"!

In just an instant, David was heavily knocked flying by the Shadow.

The terrifying Impact violently smashed through the wall, and for a moment, large clouds of dust and smoke billowed out.

The sudden scene left everyone present stunned.

Peter, standing on the first floor, was also a bit confused.

Someone had actually made a move before him!

The moment the Shadow attacked, Peter barely managed to see that it was a Black person.

Black person?

Could this guy be the Martian Manhunter who visited a few days ago?

Just as Peter was trying to determine if this Black person was the Martian Manhunter...

The Martian Manhunter—John Jones—grabbed David's head, who was lying on the ground and hadn't yet recovered, and then with a "boom," broke through the ceiling and flew into the sky!

Flying in the air, the skin on his body gradually changed, reverting to his green-skinned form.

With a "bang," the Martian Manhunter grabbed David's head and landed near a power station, casually tossing David onto an open space.

Looking at David slowly standing up on the ground, the Martian Manhunter looked at him with a serious expression, "This Planet doesn't like parasites. You shouldn't have come here."

Purple light emanated from David's eyes, "Why not? This Planet is in danger, and we were chosen to save it!"

Saying that, he threw a punch at the Martian Manhunter, the air Impact tearing through the air, stirring up turbulence.

The Martian Manhunter blocked with a punch and was immediately uncontrollably sent flying, tumbling awkwardly several times in the air before stopping.

He hadn't expected the opponent's strength to be so formidable.

He had originally attended the party as John Jones, but unexpectedly encountered the parasite's true form.

Surprised, he had initially thought he could easily deal with the opponent.

Now it seemed it wouldn't be that simple.

Had this parasite consumed some great tonic?

The Martian Manhunter exhaled, instantly flying in front of the guy and delivering a fierce punch.

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a visible Impact, David crashed to the ground, violently plowing a long gully, and directly fell unconscious.

"Although it's become a bit different, it's still within controllable limits."

Landing in front of David, who was knocked unconscious, the Martian Manhunter muttered to himself while reaching out to grab the opponent.

Unexpectedly, David, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly turned and extended an arm, gripping his fist.

The Martian Manhunter instantly felt a wave of weakness, his life force rapidly being drained by the opponent.

"Ugh!"

The Martian Manhunter, letting out a painful sound, knelt powerlessly on the ground.

His life force rapidly draining, just as he was about to collapse, a "bang" of Impact sounded, and David, who was absorbing life force, was directly sent flying.

The Martian Manhunter, freed from control, rolled and fell to the ground.

Gasping for breath, he tried to stand up but was unable to.

After knocking David flying, Peter walked in front of the Martian Manhunter, looking down at the struggling opponent, "Are you alright, Martian?"

The Martian Manhunter immediately understood Peter's identity as Clark's and John's father through telepathy, forcibly suppressing his inner shock, he replied to Peter: "N-not good, he's infected by a parasite, don't let him absorb you!"

Peter's expression was serious, "What exactly is this dead bug?"

"It...it comes from an alien Planet. The parasitic host strengthens itself by absorbing the life force of humans or animals."

The Martian Manhunter said, gasping for breath: "He just absorbed my abilities, so he should be stronger now."

David's body had already deformed, shedding its outer skin, his entire body covered in purple wrinkled skin, his face distorted and indistinct, and his mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Gazing at the purple monster suspended in the sky, Peter nodded with a solemn expression.

"You're right, after being charged by you, this 'power bank', he's become even harder to deal with."

He instantly labeled the Martian Manhunter a "useless teammate."

David, after absorbing the Martian Manhunter's abilities, flew towards Peter.

Peter took a few steps back, his muscles bulging, and quickly pulled out a metal lamppost from the roadside, smashing it towards David.

"Clang!"

The powerful attack was easily blocked by David extending his arm.

David, grabbing the lamppost with a backhand, directly sent Peter flying.

"Did you hear that?"

At Patrick Farm, Mark looked up and asked Clark.

"What?"

Clark blinked, asking in confusion.

The two were playing Ludo in the room, and Clark was racking his brain to strategize after continuous failures.

"Dad."

Mark suddenly sensed something, and a strong feeling of unease arose in his heart.

A sense of insecurity, like walking on thin ice, assailed him.

As if he could break through the ice and fall into the abyss at any moment.

Although he didn't understand why he felt this way.

"Has Dad not come back yet?"

Mark stood up with a worried face, peering out the window.

The sky began to rain, and the ethereal rain mist seeped in. The distant rumble sounded like thunder, yet also like an alarm ringing in his heart.

Clark said: "Godfather said he went to Mr. Luther's house as a guest."

"I...I must go see."

Mark made up his mind, quickly changed into his clothes and shoes, and prepared to go to the Luther house.

Clark also quickly followed, "John, what happened?"

"I don't know how to describe it, I..."

Mark's sense of unease grew stronger, "...my sense of security seems to be gone, the kind of security only Dad can give me, the feeling that he can always catch me, now it's gone, I don't know why...I must see Dad."
