Chapter 61 Jonathan is Poisoned (2k9)

Avery couldn't believe that he was no match for David's strength.

In the middle of the broken earth, the soft soil was pressed as hard as a rock. The purple ripples on David's body were like light waves on the surface of a star. The purple light in his eyes was as bright as two small suns. It was so powerful that it made him look like a god. Come to the world and speak slowly.

"Obviously, you're not fast enough."

The force of the punch just now forced him to use his physical strength, but with the purple light emitting from his body, no one could notice the strange color of his skin.

"This kind of power?!"

Falcone and the others got up, then stood by the window and looked down, unable to hide the horror on their faces.

The earth was compacted tens of centimeters downwards by a terrifying force, and the large hole tens of meters wide looked like a missile washing the ground. It was actually just the result of a simple punch between the two.

Batman clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes showing some shock, and his expression was complicated and unspeakable.

"I do not believe."

Amid the roar, Avery kicked the ground apart and shot away like a cannonball. He roared ferociously and struck again with his fist.

How could he be blocked here?

This is just an inconspicuous city on this planet.

"Your intention to attack is as shallow as your rebellious brain, it's too easy to see through!"

Easily grabbing Avery's supersonic fist that ripped apart the air, David briefly tested Clark's current abilities. He didn't intend to play with Avery any longer and said coldly.

He raised his other hand, revealing a green kryptonite ring.

"It's a meteorite. How do you know my weakness?"

Under the radiation, Avery's magical power, which was comparable to that of a battleship, quickly drained away like a flood. He knelt down in pain and looked up with a look of horror on his face.

David, who held his fist, did not respond to his interest.

The Black King can use the energy in the body to bless various physical aspects such as strength, speed, and endurance, but under normal conditions, his strength can compete with Colossus, and his speed is only more than ten times faster than ordinary people.

“Further up, his fragile body will be unbearable, and if he doesn’t control it well, he will be torn apart by the energy.

But I am different. "

A strong body can sometimes provide too much confidence.

Even though he is not as powerful as the Black King in his heyday, with the blessing of cosmic energy, his speed can reach four or five times the speed of sound.

"It's still not as fast as Clark, but the gap is reduced by four or five times, and Avery with his ability is no longer so difficult to catch."

Bang!

Avery rolled his eyes and was knocked unconscious. His face quickly became red and swollen as high as a steamed bun.

With a slap in the face and a little venting of his resentment for being forced to run to Gotham, David dragged Avery, who was wearing a ring and looked like a dead dog, to leave.

After taking two steps, he remembered something, turned back and raised his finger, and a ray penetrated the air.

call out!

"Help!"

Rubbles flew from the fifth floor, and the place where Falcone stepped exploded. He screamed and fell from the fifth floor.

Batman quickly released his grappling hook and swung over to catch him before the Gotham gangster would be thrown into a pulp before being imprisoned without trial.

"Do you think I'm someone you can use? Old guy."

Looking at Falcone, whose face turned pale, David turned and left, throwing a few words at Batman.

"He'll leave it to you."

He didn't forget that the old guy was secretly excited when he pointed out Avery's location to him. He wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers and use him to get rid of Avery who was pressing on him.

David dragged Avery away, and the gangsters who were knocked down by the air wave stood up from the ground in embarrassment, with varying degrees of injuries.

But no one dared to block his way. They all got out of the way as if they were avoiding a natural disaster, for fear of blocking his way and making him unhappy.

"..."

Looking at the back of David leading the people away, Batman frowned and had no intention of stopping him. Mainly, he had no confidence in stopping him at the moment.

He has a strict no-kill principle for himself to prevent him from falling into darkness, but he seldom interferes with other people's actions.

He occupied Falcone's bedroom, with a cruel and ferocious look in his eyes, and looked at other people like bugs and slaves. He didn't think that the guy who was taken away would be an innocent and good citizen who usually liked to help old ladies cross the street.

…

It was midnight when Avery was caught yesterday.

He simply rested in Gotham for the night, and at dawn in the morning.

When I opened the thick curtains of another hotel, it was another cloudy day as expected.

The raindrops meandered on the windows like weeping tracks, making people's good mood disappear all morning.

Take out the unconscious Avery who was stuffed in the hotel closet.

The problem has been solved, and David is ready to return to the town. He has stayed in Gotham for a long time. I wonder if it is because of the bad weather and rain all year round. It seems that this place really has a kind of magic that makes people feel depressed unconsciously.

"Although the town is remote, it makes people feel at home and comfortable."

Although the small town full of wheat fields and corn was remote and had nothing to do with prosperity, it was the place where he lived with his parents and Clark.

After transferring Clark's abilities back to Clark, he can continue to stay in the town and gain ability points from Clark.

After breakfast, David was going to make a phone call to tell his parents that his family was going back today.

But the phone suddenly rang.

"Clark?"

"David, it's not good. Dad fell ill and is now unconscious in the hospital." Clark's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.

Last night, my father Jonathan came home and said that he saved someone on the way. The family was very happy to be willing to help. There was nothing unusual after that, but in the morning, his mood became wrong. Jonathan often cried and laughed. After a while, he was working in the barn. He fainted and fell into a coma.

"what happened?"

Just as he was about to go home, he suddenly heard bad news about his family. David's expression changed drastically. His father had always been strong and never tired after a long day of work on the farm.

He suddenly thought of kryptonite. People who are constantly exposed to kryptonite radiation for a long time will get cancer, just like Luther in the comics.

But the kryptonite has always been well hidden in a box made of lead and separated from the ceiling and walls, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"What disease does Dad have?" he asked quickly.

"I don't know. Dad has been in a coma and has a fever, and the hospital can't find out.

But do you remember the new transfer student Keira? "

In the crowded corridor of the hospital, Clark had a hint of anxiety on his face. He glanced at Kayla, who had just returned to the ward after some investigation, and said in a low voice.

"She heard about dad and ran home. After investigating, she found out that dad was poisoned by a poison called devil's flower."

"Keira? Poison?"

David looked ugly.

Was it an accident, or was it deliberately poisoned?

Keira, who had been sitting for a while to rest, saw Clark talking on the phone and came over quickly, signaling that she wanted to talk to David.

"David, Keira wants to talk to you."

Looking at Keira with a serious expression, Clark hesitated and handed the phone to her.

Although the two had not had much contact before, he felt that Kayla's concern and anxiety after his father fell ill were either fake or he didn't know where this concern came from.

"Naamah.

Your father was poisoned by the devil's flower. "

Walking aside to avoid Clark, Keira spoke quickly in a low voice.

“I heard that your father fell ill and rushed to the hospital immediately.

After hearing about what happened yesterday, I found that the man he rescued also had a high fever and had the same symptoms in the hospital, so I went to the road where the accident happened to check, and found the devil's flower there. "

"What is a devil's flower?"

Not paying attention to Kayla's name, it sounded like his father had suffered an unreasonable disaster, and David sounded annoyed.

"The devil's flower was first discovered by small town residents hundreds of years ago on a wasteland on the outskirts of the town. It is a local poisonous flower.

People who smell the fragrance of its flowers will cry and laugh, and be inexplicably emotional, as if being possessed by a devil. Soon they will..."

"What will happen soon?"

His expression changed.

"It will die, so that kind of flower is called the devil's flower. After a brief period of madness, it is summoned by the devil."

“Can’t be cured by modern medicine?”

"All the devil's flowers at that time were burned. This kind of flower with harsh planting environment has been extinct for hundreds of years. The small town hospital has no way to deal with it, and... people who are poisoned by the devil's flower poison generally don't survive more than a day."

Keira looked at Jonathan lying on the hospital bed through the glass window, her tone filled with sadness. She had heard something about it in the small town. The father who raised Danaima was a good man that everyone praised.

"One day?"

One day was enough to transfer him to another hospital. It was really difficult for the hospital to immediately develop an antidote based on a flower toxin that had been extinct for hundreds of years.

David frowned, knowing that no matter how advanced modern medicine is, the poisons produced by some primitive plants and animals have still not been overcome.

"Keira, I remember you once said that your tribe is the descendant of people from outside the world.

Is there any way to cure this poison? "

He didn't believe anything Keira said.

Hundreds of years ago, there were no Americans on this land, only indigenous people. He remembered that Keira was from the indigenous tribe.

Could it be that Keira hasn't given up on the prophecy yet and thought of this way to make him trust her.

When it comes to his parents, David is not willing to let go of any possibility.

"I can't help it, Naama." In the hospital, Keira shook her head sadly.

Although their tribe is descended from aliens, they do not possess any high technology.

"Give Clark the phone."

David said, suppressing the burning anxiety.

"David, what did Kayla say to you? Is there anything you can do?"

Clark asked anxiously, gritting his teeth.

"I can't imagine what this family would be like if something happened to dad."

His younger brother has always been more capable than his older brother, and now he expects his younger brother to tell him that he actually has other hidden abilities, such as making seriously ill people get better with a wave of his hand.

"Please comfort mom.

Don't worry, dad's illness is not a problem. "

Taking a deep breath, David said quickly.

"I've found Avery, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, his face looked uncertain.

Although his father was severely poisoned and his life was in danger, anything is possible in this world.

"There are many ways to bring people back to life!"

Regardless of the distance, David can immediately think of two clues about how to treat Jonathan just related to Gotham.
