Chapter 336-340

Chapter 336 Resistance

"What are you doing!"

The Doctor shrank back at first, but then a sense of shame burst forth. He had actually been frightened by a clone weapon.

Superboy was about to move when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. Turning his head, he saw Yang Le getting up from the ground.

'I'm okay, brother.'

Hearing the sound in his brain, Superboy paused. This was the first time he hadn't disliked telepathy intruding into his brain.

"I apologize, Doctor," Yang Le said, stepping past Superboy and blocking him. "Superboy probably just wanted to help me up. I'll take him back to the hibernation pod now."

Saying this, Yang Le ignored the Doctor and walked out with Superboy.

"Damn it!" the Doctor cursed in a low voice. "I told them weapons shouldn't have their own thoughts. Why don't those adults above understand?"

This sound obviously couldn't be hidden from Superboy. Rather, it was more like the Doctor hadn't intended to hide it from him in the first place. He was deliberately saying it for the other party to hear, wanting Superboy to understand his identity as a weapon.

Superboy clenched his fist, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Yang Le out. Everyone present focused their line of sight on the conflict between Superboy and the Doctor. No one noticed the horns on the heads of the White-Clothed Mutant and Small Mutant emitting a strange red light.

'Plan successful,' Yang Le chuckled inwardly. Everything that had just happened was within his plan, including the Doctor's shield strike.

It should be known that Superboy, who was originally created as a weapon, even if he had his own ideas, would not have any tendency to attack the Doctor or other superior beings. The reason why that kind of thing happened just now was thanks to the White-Clothed Mutant.

It should be known that Superboy's thought composition has always been managed by the three Small Mutants above the hibernation pod, and all the Mutants actually secretly obey the command of the White-Clothed Mutant.

Therefore, for the future of their clan, the White-Clothed Mutant secretly changed Superboy's pre-set method of thought, making the orders of the superior beings no longer important to Superboy.

It's just a pity that pre-set words still work on Superboy. However, the Doctor doesn't know this. Even within the Illuminati, only Lex Luthor knows. Among the numerous clones, only Superboy's specific words were not told to anyone by him.

Superboy is a very simple person because all his knowledge is instilled by the Mutants. Therefore, he has not experienced the ways of the world, which makes him relatively easy to deceive.

Although Superboy had not seen Yang Le when he woke up last time, based on the setting Yang Le himself had mentioned before, and coupled with the fact that he saw no one in the Research Institute questioning Yang Le's existence, he naturally accepted the legitimacy of Yang Le's existence.

Not only that, but since Superboy woke up, most of the decisions Yang Le made were for his own good. Moreover, this kind of "for your own good" concern is different from most domestic parents. Every word Yang Le said resonated with Superboy's heart.

This is because Yang Le was actually having an open-book exam. He had obtained the answers from the White-Clothed Mutant beforehand. Every time he brushed for goodwill from Superboy, it was a critical hit. That's why the scene of Superboy arguing with the Doctor occurred.

Being able to argue with the Doctor for Yang Le's sake is enough to show that Yang Le has already occupied a place in Superboy's heart. This is beneficial for Yang Le's next actions, and it's far more than that because Yang Le's act is not just for Superboy to see.

————Divider Line————

'Good news,' Robin opened his mouth in the mind link.

'It seems our enemies aren't so harmonious either. This might become our turning point.'

'They're both so pitiful,' Megan, connecting to everyone's brains, saw everything that had just happened. Seeing Yang Le and Superboy's encounter, she couldn't help but think of her own experiences as a White Martian.

'I feel like we're more pitiful right now,' Kid Flash curled his lips. Looking at the two needles on his chest, he broke out in a cold sweat.

'It shouldn't be going to poke into the place I'm thinking of, right?'

'Although I don't know what place you're talking about, I think it's best if it's not the same as what you're thinking,' Speedy said abruptly.

"What are you still waiting for!" the Doctor looked somewhat exasperated. It seemed he was preparing to vent the fire he received from Superboy on the Young Heroes.

"Start the cloning device quickly! I don't want to repeat myself a third time!"

Under the manipulation of the White-Clothed Mutant, the clone machine started. Just as Kid Flash thought, the two needles indeed pierced into his chest.

"Hey!" Kid Flash had just cried out in pain when an electric current crawled up his body along the needles.

"Ugh ah ah ah ah!"

The other three also received the same treatment. Powerful electric currents constantly stimulated their bodies. Even Aqualad, a superhuman, couldn't help but cry out in pain.

In fact, these electric currents had been carefully adjusted by the White-Clothed Mutant. The intensity was different for each person. Everyone would feel pain, but it wouldn't be fatal.

"Superboy," Aqualad said softly, enduring the severe pain brought by the electric current.

"You are a life. You have the right to choose the road you want to take. You and your brothers are the same. Superman is always saving everyone. You can also save your brothers. We will help you, and the Justice League will too."

The soft words, like the fluttering of mosquito wings, passed through the long tunnel and the heavy security door, clearly reaching Superboy's ear.

Thinking of Yang Le's previous encounter, and coupled with the Doctor's attitude of ordering them around, the main point was that they had never been treated as humans.

"Brother," Superboy suddenly stopped and called out to Yang Le in front.

Yang Le turned his head and asked as if he didn't know anything, "What's wrong, brother?"

"I want to go save those people," Superboy's gaze flickered. Although his tone was firm, Yang Le could tell he was unsure of his idea.

"Do it if you have the idea," Yang Le grinned. "I will always stand by your side, brother."

Superboy revealed a smile. This was the first time he had shown such a complex expression.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the security door of the cloning room was shattered. The Doctor was so frightened that he quickly shrank behind Guardian, only poking out half his head to see what had happened.

A sturdy body walked out of the smoke. It was Superboy. The heavy security door was like paper in front of him.

"What do you want to do! You twisted weapon," the Doctor exclaimed. The Doctor exuded charm as pre-set by the White-Clothed Mutant. Although the White-Clothed Mutant estimated that even if he didn't intervene, Doctor would make the same choice, he still performed hypnosis beforehand just in case.

"I am not a weapon!" Superboy said in a deep voice.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 337 Illuminati

"Quick! Catch him!"

The Doctor didn't choose to waste words with Superboy, but instead ordered Guardian and the other Gene Mutants to attack. He had decided that once Superboy was captured, he would give him a thorough brainwashing. Today's experience had exhausted all his patience with Superboy.

Guardian waved his hand, and all the Razor Mutants in the Room immediately pounced on Superboy. Even Guardian himself followed behind the Mutants and rushed forward.

"Come and try if you dare!"

Superboy showed no fear, adopting a stance to face all the enemies head-on. He stood alone against thousands, attracting everyone's attention.

Yang Le, who had been invisible and waiting for an opportunity, knew it was time for him to act. He bypassed everyone, climbing from the Ceiling to the Instrument where the Young Heroes were held.

He lightly tapped a few times on the Operation Console, and the Cloning Machine immediately stopped working. Robin and the others also stopped screaming.

"Support, support arrived?" Wally weakly raised his head, only to see an empty Operation Console. It wasn't until Yang Le revealed himself that he understood what had happened.

"Arrived." Yang Le pressed a few more Buttons, and the shackles inside the Cloning Pods also opened. Without restraints, the group naturally fell out.

Although they had been tortured for a few minutes, they were all skilled individuals. After escaping the Pods, they acted as if nothing had happened. One somersaulted, another performed a graceful landing, all landing steadily on their feet.

"Let's go quickly." Yang Le watched the posing crowd with black lines on his forehead. "It won't be good if we alarm the big shots upstairs later. We won't be able to escape Cadmus Research Institute then."

"Big shots?" Wally wanted to ask more, but Robin stopped him.

"Let's go, Kid Flash. This isn't a good place for chatting." Robin looked ahead, where there was a scene of devastation. Only Superboy stood on the Ground, while all the Gene Mutants and Guardian were knocked down.

"Follow me, I'll tell you the rest on the way." Yang Le took the lead and ran out first, with the others following closely behind.

Robin had only run a few steps when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He drew a few Batarangs and threw them back, aiming for the cloning pods that had just held them.

The Batarangs pierced the Cloning Pods, and the Bat Symbol in the Center flashed Red Light. After a few short seconds, there was a loud Explosion, shattering the Cloning Pods into pieces. In such an Explosion, no one's DNA could possibly be preserved.

"Hehehe." Leaving behind a demonic laugh, Robin finally caught up with the others and fled.

It must be said that Robin, trained by Batman, was more meticulous in his actions than the others. However, even if he hadn't destroyed the DNA, Yang Le had already told White-Clothed Mutant to help resolve it.

Guided by Yang Le, the group quickly reached the Elevator. With White-Clothed Mutant's arrangement, they smoothly got into the Elevator.

'Mr. Yang Le.' Aqualad contacted Yang Le as soon as they were safe. 'We have escaped and are now fleeing to the Ground.'

'Received.' Mr. Yang Le was still seeing patients. 'I'm almost done here too. Maybe we'll run into each other on the way. Even if we don't, it's fine. You don't need to wait for me, continue to retreat. I'll find a way to escape.'

'Received.'

After finishing the report, Aqualad turned his gaze to Yang Le and Superboy.

"Now we can talk." Robin leaned against the Elevator with his arms crossed. As an Ordinary Person, he was already exhausted from today's ordeal. Taking a break was a necessary skill for a Super Hero.

"Let me explain." Yang Le took the initiative to step forward. "Superboy doesn't know anything. He has been in hibernation, and the Research Institute wouldn't transmit this Knowledge to him."

Everyone's Line of Sight focused on Yang Le, even Superboy was no exception.

"As you can see, Cadmus Research Institute is a Research Institute that develops Bio-weapons, and its greatest masterpiece is Superboy." Yang Le gestured to Superboy behind him.

"We know all this." Speedy frowned. "Tell us something we don't know."

Faced with Speedy's urging, before Yang Le could say anything, Superboy couldn't help but interrupt.

"If you don't want to listen, you can get out." Superboy took two steps and stared down at Speedy. "If you want to listen, be quiet, or I can help you be quiet."

Speedy clenched his Fists. His Bow and Arrow had just been destroyed by Superboy. In terms of fists and feet, even if Speedy was confident, he wouldn't think he could beat a Kryptonian, even if he was just a Clone.

Aqualad, the only one who could compete with Superboy, stepped forward. He walked between the two, separating them, and said at the same time.

"We haven't escaped the enemy's encirclement yet. Arguing now is the most unwise Choice. For the sake of fighting together just now, let's all say a few words less."

Superboy glanced at Aqualad. Through the Sound, he could recognize that this person was the one who had just persuaded him. Considering that the other party's words had awakened him, Superboy was willing to give him Respect.

"Then I'll continue." Yang Le continued when he saw everyone was silent. It had to be said that the Feeling of having someone backing him up was really great.

"You know the True Identity of Cadmus Research Institute, but what you don't know is that Cadmus Research Institute is just one of many Research Institutes."

Aqualad's pupils shrank and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's the literal meaning." Yang Le said expressionlessly. "I overheard Doctor talking to someone else and learned that Cadmus Research Institute is just an insignificant small project in the eyes of those big shots above. Not only do they have many similar Laboratories under their command, but they are also plotting a huge Conspiracy."

"Who are those people? And what is their Conspiracy?" Robin pressed.

"I don't know what their Conspiracy is." Yang Le said. Actually, it couldn't be said that he didn't know, more accurately, Yang Le had forgotten.

"I only know their Name, they call themselves the Illuminati."

Illuminati, an unfamiliar term. Even Robin frowned. He hadn't found this term in the Bat Computer. It seemed to be either a newly emerging Organization or a particularly deeply hidden Organization.

If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, then the other party's Energy was extremely terrifying. After all, even the Justice League had not discovered this Organization.

Robin couldn't help but swallow. Facing this Level of Secret, even he couldn't help but feel nervous. He had a premonition that this Mission of the Young Justice League might not be smaller than the matter of shielding the sun.

(End of chapter)

"Illuminati…" Aqualad murmured, repeating the name as if trying to glean some hidden meaning from it.

"I've never heard of this organization," Wally said, turning to Speedy. "Have you?"

Speedy shook his head, his meaning clear. They then looked to Robin, the resident know-it-all, as their last hope.

"Never heard of them," Robin shrugged. "Let's ask the adults when we get back. They might know something. For now, let's focus on this…"

"O Weapon," Yang Le interjected. "Like Superboy, I don't really have a name, so just call me O Weapon."

This name was something Yang Le had just come up with, taking the first letter of Omnitrix. After all, Yang Le was terrible at naming things, a common ailment among Omnitrix wielders – some traditions just couldn't be broken.

"That's not a very catchy name," Wally said, sidling up to Yang Le and casually slinging an arm around his shoulder. "You guys aren't weapons. If you ask me, we've already escaped, and you're about to start a new life. You and Superboy should both come up with new names for yourselves."

Wally might be rash, but he was also the most down-to-earth member of the Young Justice League. He was never stingy with his friendliness and could quickly become friends with anyone. Maybe his Speed Force helped with making friends too.

Yang Le and Superboy exchanged a look. Yang Le noticed the blank expression on Superboy's face. He clearly didn't grasp what a new name could represent. This served as a reminder to Yang Le that Superboy's attitude was more in line with what a Mutant should be.

"Let's talk about it after we escape," Yang Le said, adopting Superboy's indifferent attitude and not showing any enthusiasm for a new name.

"Right, what about the other Mutants?" Robin asked. "Are there others who want to escape Cadmus Research Institute like you?"

"That's exactly what I was going to talk about next," Yang Le said, with an expression that said, 'you've hit the nail on the head.' "The Mutants at Cadmus Research Institute actually don't want to be under the control of the Illuminati, but unfortunately, we're no match for them. To the Illuminati, Mutants are like Ants."

"I don't believe it," Speedy interjected coldly. "They're just Clones. Maybe all their actions are pre-programmed. They could be undercover agents planted in the Justice League."

Superboy glared at Speedy's words, but Yang Le remained unfazed. He knew very well that this Speedy was actually a Clone.

The real Roy Harper had been captured by the Illuminati years ago during a secret mission. The Illuminati had cut off his hand and used it to clone many Roys. This Clone was playing the role of Roy himself, while others played his relatives, indirectly helping the Harper family grow in influence.

*Hope the boomerang hits you when you least expect it, and you don't break down.*

Faced with Roy's suspicion, Yang Le offered him the sincerest blessings, truly a living Buddha, deeply moving.

"Boom!"

Before anyone could argue, the elevator suddenly made a loud noise and stopped ascending. The lights inside flickered a few times and went out. Then, the elevator door began to creak.

With a sickening sound of metal twisting, the elevator door was yanked open from the outside.

A fearsome face peered through the opening. By the light spilling in from outside the door, they could make out the Doctor's face.

Or rather, what was once his face. It was drastically changed. The glasses he usually wore were gone, and his once-neat hairstyle was now plastered messily to his forehead. But the most horrifying thing was his face itself – there wasn't an inch of good flesh left on it.

Blue-gray muscle tissue had burst through his skin, with only a few strands of flesh connecting the tattered remains of his skin. Not only that, but the blue-gray muscles were still expanding, and his eyes were bloodshot, filled with savagery and bestiality. The intelligence that had once characterized the researcher was completely gone.

"The Titan Project will give me the power to restore order," the Doctor's voice was hoarse and muffled, as if his throat had been damaged by the overgrown muscles. "Cadmus Research Institute will remain under my control."

Putting aside everything else, the Doctor's current appearance could easily make him a horror movie star. He was terrifying enough to make babies stop crying. But the teenagers in the elevator weren't scared.

Superboy, without a word, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and landed a solid punch on the Doctor's face, producing a dull thud. But this punch, capable of shattering metal and splitting rocks, only made the Doctor's head turn slightly.

"What?" Superboy was shocked and uncertain. His usually invincible super strength had failed to achieve anything for the first time.

"Roar!"

The Doctor let out an indescribable roar and lunged into the elevator. Superboy snapped back to his senses and charged forward without hesitation. He knew everyone's strength in the elevator, and he was the only one who could withstand the Doctor's assault. He couldn't back down no matter what.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of air being torn echoed. Aqualad drew his Aquapack, and as the patterns on his arms glowed, water flow instantly materialized.

"Cover his nose!"

Aqualad was about to turn the water flow into swords, but Robin shouted first. Although Aqualad didn't understand why, he followed Robin's instruction and turned the water flow into a long whip, wrapping it around the Doctor's head as he wrestled with Superboy.

Deprived of oxygen, the Doctor panicked. Even though he had lost his reason, as a creature, he still desperately needed oxygen. It was a biological imperative for all life on Earth.

Superboy seized the opportunity, jumped up, and kicked the Doctor squarely in the face with both feet. The panicked Doctor, lacking any strength to brace himself, was sent flying out of the elevator.

The damaged elevator, now without the Doctor's support, was about to plummet. Superboy took a large step out of the elevator and grabbed the falling car with his right hand.

"Get out, quick!" Superboy urged. "That guy might be back any second."

"That was awesome, dude!" Kid Flash gave a thumbs-up and followed the others out of the elevator.

Seeing that the elevator was empty, Superboy let go, letting it fall freely.

"We're only on Floor -23," Robin said, glancing back at the floor indicator. "Is there any other method to get back to the Ground?"

"No," Yang Le shook his head. "Cadmus Research Institute is a one-way system. To prevent infiltration from other areas, there's only one elevator for access."

(End of chapter)

Chapter 339: Situation Escalates

When Yang Le obtained the Map of the Research Institute from the White-Clothed Mutant, he had complained that the designer of this Research Institute was worse than an amateur. If something unexpected happened and the Elevator broke down, wouldn't everyone be trapped Underground?

Between floors, besides the Elevator, there were only Ventilation Shafts. The moment Yang Le saw the Design Blueprint of the Research Institute, one thought came to mind.

"If I transformed into Armodrillo and came here, wouldn't that be a clean sweep?"

But this thought had just surfaced when Yang Le himself rejected it. Unless there was some deep-seated hatred, a Research Institute like Cadmus was definitely more valuable to keep than to destroy.

Moreover, the Illuminati's only enemy was the Justice League. Even Batman, the most ruthless in the League, wouldn't make such an extermination decision. After all, information still needed to be collected. If the Room collapsed, then only Cement Debris would be salvaged.

"The person who designed this Research Institute is truly a genius." Robin wanted to swear, but considering that Megan, the Girl, was listening, he could only say sarcastically.

"Can't Superboy fly us up?" Wally asked. "I remember Superman can fly."

"Superboy cannot fly." Yang Le held down the eager Superboy. "Superboy was cultivated using half Kryptonian Gene and half Earthling Gene. His Earthling Gene suppressed his Kryptonian Ability, among which he doesn't have the Ability of Flight. But his jumping power is very strong, and leaping over High-rise buildings is still no problem."

Superboy looked at his Hands in Shock. He originally thought he should be similar to Superman, but he didn't expect himself to be just a degraded version of the other.

In fact, it's not just Flight, he also doesn't have Heat Vision. Not only that, even the Superpower he possesses has been weakened. It was evident from the confrontation with Dr. Juggernaut just now. If it were the real Superman, he could take down Dr. Juggernaut with one Hand, but Superboy was faintly suppressed by the opponent. If Aqualad hadn't lent a Hand, they might have really been wiped out by the opponent.

In general, Superboy is an all-round inferior version of Superman.

"What do we do now?" Kid Flash leaned out and looked at the terrain of the Elevator Shaft. "There are too many obstacles inside, I can't run up."

"The length of the Bat-Grappling Hook is also not enough." Robin looked at the Distance and could only shake his head. "And there's someone who obviously won't let us go."

"Boom!"

Dr. Juggernaut threw off the Debris pressing on his Body, roared, and charged towards Yang Le and the others again.

"It seems we have to deal with this obstacle first." The Red Horns on Yang Le's head lit up. Dr. Juggernaut had just charged halfway when the Wall on his left was completely torn down and pressed onto Dr. Juggernaut's Body.

"Brothers!" Yang Le shouted at Superboy. The latter immediately understood, stomped his Right Foot hard, and borrowed the force to Charge towards the suppressed Dr. Juggernaut.

Dr. Juggernaut had just broken free when Superboy punched him squarely in the Face. The unreservedly huge force overturned the unsteady Dr. Juggernaut to the Ground.

Before Dr. Juggernaut landed, Aqualad, who had been brought behind Dr. Juggernaut by Kid Flash, swung out the Meteor Hammer made of Water flow fiercely. With a muffled sound, Dr. Juggernaut crashed through the Wall and was smashed into the Room next to it.

Before everyone could catch their breath, Dr. Juggernaut, who had just been knocked down, actually stood up again, and his Body was still constantly changing. The original blue-grey Muscle kept bulging, and finally turned into a Grey Carapace like Armor. Two Red Horns drilled out of his Forehead, looking like a larger version of Yang Le.

"Juggernaut Serum plus Gene Mutant Ability, it was originally just my hypothesis." A hoarse Sound squeezed out from Dr. Juggernaut's throat. The Red Glow in his Eyes intensified, making it difficult to tell if he still had Reason.

"Previous Experiments have always been failures. Today, I was originally prepared to take the newly debugged Serum for Experiment, but unexpectedly encountered an Unexpected Situation..."

Superboy didn't intend to listen to his Nonsense. He jumped over, preparing to give Dr. Juggernaut another Punch. The Horns on the latter's head shone with Red Glow, and with a boom, Superboy was pressed to the Ground at an even faster Speed, even creating an Outline in the Ground.

"Superboy!" Aqualad was just about to run over to check on his Teammate's condition when he was also pressed to the Ground.

Aqualad being pressed down was like a Signal. The Teenagers were pressed to the Ground one after another. Superboy touched the Ground with both Hands, gritting his Teeth and trying to struggle up from the Ground.

"Ugh ah ah ah!"

Robin, Speedy, and Kid Flash cried out in Pain in unison. They didn't have Super Strength and Body of Steel. This Pressure was obviously not something they could withstand.

Seeing this, Yang Le also used Telepathic Ability and applied it to the three of them, helping them resist part of the Pressure. Only then did he prevent them from being crushed into Mincemeat.

"I originally thought I would never succeed in my life." Dr. Juggernaut looked at his Hands obsessively. "But Fate obviously favors me. This one in ten thousand Success Rate appeared on me."

"This proves that I am right!" Dr. Juggernaut looked at Superboy venomously. "Those Big Shots are wrong! They actually want to use you to replace me! My Titan Project is irreplaceable! Not even Kryptonian can!"

Dr. Juggernaut waved his Hand casually, and Superboy, who was originally pressed on the Ground, suddenly flew up and then floated in front of him.

"What do you have to compare with me!" Dr. Juggernaut suddenly swung his Right Fist. The huge force even made the Air Wail. Superboy grunted and was about to fly backwards, but he had just flown out less than a meter when Dr. Juggernaut used his Ability to Control him in Original Place.

"When I deal with you, I can let those Big Shots see my Value." Dr. Juggernaut once again controlled Superboy to be in front of him, slowly raising his Right Hand, obviously preparing to punch again.

"Those... sneaky Guys are right..."

Doctor turned his head and found that the Sound was coming from Robin. This surprised him very much. He knew that even Aqualad and Superboy, these two Superhuman, were suppressed to the point of being unable to make a Sound. How did Robin, an Ordinary Person, do it?

'Mr. Yang, if you don't come again, we might really die here.' Robin notified Yang Le again through Mind Link, still buying Time with his Words.

"You have always only thought about being subservient to others, but Superboy does not submit to anyone. Just this point alone, you can't compare with him!"

"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Dr. Juggernaut dropped Superboy, took a big step and charged towards Robin's Direction. Looking at the ferocious Demon in front of him, even the battle-hardened Robin couldn't help but feel Fear. Coupled with the fact that he couldn't move now, Robin, without a Method, could only close his Eyes.

"Boom!"

Another loud Sound. Robin, who had closed his Eyes, did not feel Pain. Curiosity made him slowly open his Eyes.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 340 Earth-Shattering

When Robin opened his eyes, he only saw a milky white, gel-like object blocking his way. Dr. Juggernaut's fist was deeply embedded in the white gel, and the immense power caused it to tremble like jelly.

The white gel rippled, and Robin saw a pair of eyes appear on the gel in front of him. Immediately after, a voice came.

"I bet you love me right now." The voice was a bit hoarse, a voice Robin had never heard before.

Seeing the bewildered look on Robin's face, Yang Le suddenly understood. Another ripple came, and a symbol appeared below the eyes. It was the symbol of the Omnitrix. Seeing that symbol, Robin finally realized.

"You are? Mr. Yang?"

"It's me." Yang Le poked his head out and nodded in acknowledgment. "Looks like I arrived just in time."

"It would have been better if you were earlier." Robin breathed a sigh of relief. "Be careful, Mr. Yang, his power is very strong, and he also possesses superpowers like telepathy."

While Yang Le and Robin were talking, Dr. Juggernaut kept trying to pull his right hand out of Yang Le's body. He was surprised to find that he couldn't. This seemingly soft gel was even stronger than metal handcuffs.

This was of course the case. The alien Yang Le had transformed into was called Goop, a Primofit from Viscosia. Goop's body was composed of a viscous substance. This slime-like body gave Goop top-tier physical resistance. Almost no physical attack could damage him.

In addition, Goop himself had an extremely strong self-healing ability. So even if it was an energy attack, unless it could vaporize the entire Goop in an instant, there was no way to kill him. As long as he couldn't be killed, all attacks were just tickles to Goop.

Goop could also control the density of his body. Increasing density not only improved his defense but also increased his strength. The reason Dr. Juggernaut couldn't pull out his hand was because of this.

By the way, Goop's colors were very rich, and different colors emitted different fragrances. Ben's was green with a lime scent, Albedo's was red with a raspberry scent, Ben 23's was blue with a blueberry scent, and Yang Le's was white with a milk scent.

Dr. Juggernaut's gaze sharpened, and superpower was released, but soon he was surprised to find that his ability had no effect on Yang Le at all. His ability clearly touched Yang Le, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction.

"What's going on?" Dr. Juggernaut couldn't help but cry out in shock.

"Shocked that your ability has no effect?" Yang Le moved his eyes to Dr. Juggernaut's side. "Here's a hint, gravity."

"What?" Dr. Juggernaut looked puzzled. However, Yang Le didn't intend to wait for him to figure it out. A huge fist stretched out from his body and slammed into Dr. Juggernaut's face with a bang, causing Dr. Juggernaut to raise his head.

Yang Le didn't intend to let Dr. Juggernaut off. Using the characteristics of his body, he condensed several fists. The fists connected with each other, like непрерывные waves of the sea, continuously smashing towards the latter.

"Enough!" After being unilaterally beaten for a minute, Dr. Juggernaut roared, and spirit erupted, pushing Yang Le away. Yang Le took the opportunity to roll up Robin and Speedy on the ground and retreated to the side.

"I'm going to tear you apart." Dr. Juggernaut's face was ferocious. The serum had indeed affected his IQ. Even after being at a disadvantage in the fight, he didn't know to retreat or use the various knowledge in his brain to deal with Yang Le, of course, if there was still knowledge in his brain.

But he did have some growth after all. This time, he didn't rush up himself, but controlled the gravel on the ground and smashed it towards Yang Le. Yang Le didn't dodge or evade, allowing all kinds of gravel to smash into his body.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz."

A sound like cola bubbles came. Robin clearly saw that the gravel that had drilled into Yang Le's body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

No! Not shrinking! It should be melting and decomposing, just like the human stomach digests food. The debris wrapped by Yang Le was decomposing at an extremely fast speed.

That's right, Goop's body also had strong corrosiveness, which could corrode most substances in an instant. This ability was very terrifying, but Ben didn't like to use it very much.

After all, even metal could be corroded instantly. If it splashed on a human... it wouldn't be solved by just shedding a layer of skin.

Yang Le took these debris, not only to protect Robin and Speedy behind him, but also to accumulate energy. The Primofit's recipe was very comprehensive. Things that ran in the sky, flew in the water, swam on the ground, and various ores, there was nothing he wouldn't eat.

Looking at Yang Le, who had made a lap around his body, even if Dr. Juggernaut was stupid, he knew he couldn't continue like this. This was helping the enemy.

Dr. Juggernaut activated his not-so-large brain and came up with a brilliant idea.

"Drink!"

Dr. Juggernaut shouted, and the horns on his head reflected a scarlet red light, but his attack was not aimed at Yang Le or the Young Justice League people. Just when everyone didn't understand what was happening, the Cadmus Research Institute began to shake violently.

Cold sweat oozed from Robin's forehead. He found that his body could move. He quickly raised his left hand and opened his miniature computer. After confirming the other party's intention, he exclaimed in shock.

"He wants to bury everyone underground!" Robin pointed to the room that was exposed due to the collapse of the wall caused by the battle. In that room, there were many towering pillars, and cracks had appeared on those pillars.

"Those are the load-bearing pillars of the Cadmus Research Institute! According to my calculations, to produce this degree of shaking, it is impossible for only these pillars to be broken!"

"Not bad guess, kid." Dr. Juggernaut showed a ferocious smile. "I can definitely survive this burial with my physical body strength, but you may not."

"When I see the light of day again, I will definitely erect a tombstone for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the red light on Dr. Juggernaut's horns went out. At the same time, all the load-bearing pillars of the Cadmus Research Institute broke, the sky collapsed and the ground cracked, and this carefully built building ushered in a day of destruction.
