Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 208 Space Carrier

Chapter 208 Space Carrier

At this time, Joey had no idea that Ragnarok was about to begin, nor did he know that Thor would go to find the fire giant Surtur alone.

Even though Thor's battle with the fire giant will soon shake the Nine Realms, that's not something Joey should worry about right now.

On the way back to New York, all I could see was absolutely nothing.

The arrival of Galactus brought devastating damage to the entire city of New York. Manhattan, which is almost the core area of ​​New York City, was first wiped out in the battle between Galactus and Ultraman, and then completely destroyed in the confrontation between the two giants, Doomsday and Ultraman.

The area formerly known as Manhattan Island was cut in half, along with New Jersey and Brooklyn, which were then transformed into Manhattan Bay.

This was far more intense than the battle between the two Supermen in Gotham City a week or two ago.

This only made Yang Yi more worried, because the world of ordinary people was far too fragile to withstand the struggle between gods.

Today is Tony's world, tomorrow it will be his own.

What kind of power would be needed to keep Earth intact from the war between the Kryptonians and the Green Lantern Corps?

Ganata, who was flying beside her, also fell silent, abandoning her previous playful demeanor.

Having awakened to her own existence, she possesses an independent and complete personality, as well as a cosmic consciousness that surpasses even the supersensory abilities of Kryptonians.

She could easily understand everything Joey knew, and she also knew the root of his inner pain and hesitation.

"You're not an ordinary person, nor are you a savior, so why can't you just consider yourself an ordinary Kryptonian?"

Few gods truly care about the joys and sorrows of every mortal individual; even Galactus wouldn't be as attentive as Joey.

"Don't always be so sentimental. Emotions are a consumable that regenerates very slowly. You need to pour them into places where they are more needed."

"What I need least right now is for a child who has only recently developed consciousness to teach me the principles of being a human being."

Every casualty in this disaster pierced Joey's nerves, but it was a step he had to take.

Joey's gaze swept across the entire Earth, processing a massive stream of information in an instant, which allowed him to discover some clues about this planet.

Earth in the Marvel Universe should be a bustling world full of life and vibrant activity, but now it's a bit too quiet.

The Fantastic Four, who previously dragged themselves into the paradoxical timeline and got a good beating, haven't even been born yet at this moment.

There is also a huge group that has disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed at all.

Ever since Joey killed the X-Men's alternate universe version—the G-Men—and left their universe, he never imagined that things would come full circle back to these mutants.

Now Joey is basically certain that his feeling is quite accurate—that he has definitely jumped from one big pit into another.

He now only hopes that this universe won't become like the Flashpoint world, entering a deadly cycle of destruction after Barbatos's visit.

Joey, who could never find a comfort zone, flew close to the sea surface and quickly located the Stark Tower.

Or rather, it's the original location of Stark Tower.

The composite building that Tony spent a lot of money to renovate for show has served its purpose. It was broken in half by a giant robot of Leopardon's weight and was caught in the aftermath of the battle between Doomsday and Ultraman. Yet, the ravaged frame of the building still remains on the sea.

A dozen or so Spider-Men remain in the ruins, used to care for the seriously injured Tony and to rescue the flooded Leopardton.

Superman's arrival made the Spider-Man team stop what they were doing, looking up with hopeful eyes: "Did we win?"

"Yes, unless Galactus is prone to going back to his old flames, he won't be causing us trouble again anytime soon."

Joey landed, ignoring the strange looks people were giving Ganata, and walked straight toward Tony: "You guys can rest for a while."

"call!"

The Spider-Men present immediately threw their repair equipment behind them, abandoning their futile and pointless efforts, and collapsed to the ground: "Thank you, Hyperion!"

"Whatever makes you happy."

Joey, who had been addressed with that nickname, didn't bother to correct him and simply quickly found the badly injured Iron Man.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Tony was currently arguing with Spider-Ham, who was looking after him, while also restlessly wandering around the room. "We have to build that weapon first!"

Joey reached out and pressed down on Tony, who was unwilling to take off his armor. Even though the visor was covering him, the hideous scar on Tony's face was still immediately visible to Joey.

This made Joey's heart skip a beat.

In the normal universe, Doctor Doom, Viktor von Doom, also embarked on a path of destruction after being disfigured.

But none of that is the most important thing right now. All Joey can do now is comfort him: "It's all over, Tony."

Upon learning that the crisis was over, Iron Man's first feeling was not relief or joy, but rather a bewildering sense of disorientation:

"But, I haven't done anything yet—"

This crisis has exceeded the current universe's ability to cope with it. Without the two outsiders, Silver Slider and Ultraman, Joey and Thor probably wouldn't have been able to kill Galactus's physical body for the first time.

The others were nothing more than ants to Galactus, utterly incapable of stopping him in the slightest.

The sense of frustration is self-evident, especially for a genius like Tony.

"Jarvis, could you—"

Left with no other option, Joey had to ask Jarvis for help.

"No need to worry, 3....2..:" Jarvis, the AI ​​on the armor, started a countdown: "1."

Tony collapsed to the ground and was helped up by Joey.

"The effects of the adrenaline injection you just received have worn off."

Jarvis remained noncommittal to Joey's call: "Sir, it's unwise of you to suggest that I provide psychological medical services to Mr. Stark. I'm just an AI."

The explosion at Leopoldon's reactor directly caused Tony a concussion, radiation sickness, and a series of complications. His current physical condition is almost like that of New York after a major battle.

As for psychological trauma, that's not Joey's area of ​​expertise—he's not some shonen manga protagonist who can resolve anyone's inner conflicts with a few words.

Seeing Tony's condition worsening, Joey had no choice but to find a suitable hospital first.

"First, please navigate me to the most suitable hospital, on the West Coast. The hospitals in New York City are almost all full."

Joey's gaze unconsciously swept over the surroundings again, and she was even considering whether she should spend a few minutes learning about the medical knowledge that exists on Earth, so that she could personally treat Tony.

On the first day of missing Cyborg—in the Flashpoint universe, this kind of cleanup work was basically done by Cyborg, who could create 100,000 threads at any time to control the corresponding drones, without Joey having to do it himself.

"Recommending..."

"No, Jarvis, it's alright."

Joey, who was constantly watching his surroundings, interrupted Jarvis's thoughts because something new had appeared in his field of vision: "The most suitable hospital is flying towards us."

Above the clouds, two enormous ships are sailing toward Manhattan, a place transformed from mulberry fields to the sea.

It is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s space carrier.
