#338 - Escape Hindered

“The Illuminati…” Aqualad murmured, repeatedly savoring the term as if trying to discover something within it.

“I haven’t heard of this organization.” Wally looked at Kid Flash beside him. “What about you?”

Kid Flash shook his head, the meaning self-evident. They looked to Robin, the little know-it-all, as their last hope.

“I haven’t heard of it either.” Robin shrugged. “Let’s go back and ask the adults, maybe they know something. For now, let’s let this…”

“Weapon O.” Yang Le interjected. “Like Superboy, I don’t have a real name, so you can just call me Weapon O.”

Yang Le came up with the name randomly, taking the first letter of Omnitrix. After all, Yang Le was terrible at naming things, which was a common problem for wearers of the Omnitrix. The tradition couldn't be abandoned.

“That’s not a good name.” Wally moved closer to Yang Le, familiarly putting his arm around the latter’s shoulder. “You guys aren’t weapons. If you ask me, we’ve already escaped. You’re about to embrace a new life. You and Superboy should both give yourselves new names.”

Although Wally was reckless, he was also the most down-to-earth member of the Young Justice League. He was never stingy with his friendliness, and he could quickly become friends with anyone, maybe he had Speed Force assistance in making friends.

Yang Le and Superboy looked at each other. Yang Le noticed that the latter’s expression was somewhat blank, obviously not realizing what a new name could represent. This served as a reminder to Yang Le that Superboy’s attitude was what a Genomorph should have.

“Let’s talk about it after we escape.” Yang Le adopted Superboy’s attitude, not showing enthusiasm for a new name.

“What about the other Genomorphs?” Robin asked. “Are there other Genomorphs who want to escape Cadmus Labs like you?”

“That’s exactly what I wanted to talk about next.” Yang Le had an expression of you’ve-hit-the-nail-on-the-head. “The Genomorphs at Cadmus Labs don’t want to be controlled by the Illuminati, but unfortunately, we’re no match for them at all. To the Illuminati, Genomorphs are like ants.”

“I don’t believe it.” Kid Flash blurted out. “They’re just a bunch of clones. Maybe all their actions are designed from the start. Maybe they’re just sleeper agents planted in the Justice League.”

Superboy glared at Kid Flash after hearing his words, but Yang Le remained unmoved because he knew very well that the Kid Flash in front of him was actually a clone.

The real Roy Harper had been captured by the Illuminati years ago while on a secret mission. The Illuminati cut off one of his hands and used it to clone many Roys. The clone in front of them was playing the role of Roy himself, while some others were playing the roles of Roy's relatives, which was a roundabout way of helping the Harper family grow.

When the boomerang hits you, don't break down.

Faced with Roy's suspicion, Yang Le offered the other party his most sincere blessings, truly a living Buddha, which was touching.

“Boom!”

Before the others could start arguing, the elevator made a loud noise. Then, the elevator, which was still ascending, suddenly stopped. The lights inside the elevator flickered a few times and then went out. Then, the elevator door made a creaking sound.

Accompanied by a grating metallic twisting sound, the elevator door was violently pried open from the outside. A狰狞 face peered in from the gap. Relying on the light shining in from outside the door, the others could make out that it seemed to be Dr. Desmond's face.

Why did it seem like it? Because that face was already very different. The glasses that were originally on his face were gone, and his meticulous hairstyle was now scattered and stuck to his forehead. The most terrifying thing was his face, which no longer had any good flesh on it.

Blue-gray muscle tissue broke through his skin, and only a few strands of flesh connected his skin. Not only that, but those blue-gray muscles were still constantly expanding. His eyes were also filled with blood red, filled with brutality and bestiality. The wisdom that was unique to researchers had disappeared without a trace.

“Project Kr will give me the power to rebuild order.” Dr. Desmond’s voice seemed to have been damaged by the increased muscles, sounding hoarse and muffled. “Cadmus Labs will still be under my control.”

Putting aside everything else, Dr. Desmond's makeup at this time could definitely be a hit if he starred in a horror movie. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could stop children from crying, but none of the teenagers in the elevator were frightened.

Seeing this, Superboy said nothing, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and punched Dr. Desmond in the face with a solid punch, making a dull sound. However, this punch, which could shatter gold and crack stone, only made Dr. Desmond turn his head slightly.

“What?” Superboy was shocked and uncertain. His always successful super strength had failed to achieve anything for the first time.

“Roar!”

Dr. Desmond let out an indescribable roar, and the whole person crashed into the elevator. Superboy immediately came back to his senses and still went up to meet him without dodging. He knew the strength of everyone in the elevator, and only he could block Dr. Desmond's impact at the moment, so he couldn't give way no matter what.

“Swish!”

A sound of air being torn apart came, and Aqualad pulled out his water bearers. As the patterns on his arms lit up with a cold light, the water instantly condensed.

“Cover his nose!”

Aqualad was just about to turn the water into swords when Robin shouted out first. Although Aqualad didn't understand what was going on, he still did as he was told and used the water to turn into a long whip and wrap it around Dr. Desmond's head, who was wrestling with Superboy.

Dr. Desmond, who had lost oxygen, was immediately panicked. Even if he had lost his mind at this time, as a living being, he was still craving oxygen. This was something that all Earth life could not escape.

Superboy took the opportunity to jump up, exerted force with both feet, and kicked Dr. Desmond's face solidly. Dr. Desmond, who was in a panic, had no strength to support himself at this time, and was kicked away after receiving this kick.

The damaged elevator lost Dr. Desmond's support and was about to fall immediately. Superboy took a big step and walked out of the elevator, then grabbed the falling elevator with his right hand.

“Come out quickly.” Superboy urged. “That guy might come back soon.”

“That was really handsome just now, man.” Kid Flash gave a thumbs up and followed the others out of the elevator.

Seeing that there was no one in the elevator, Superboy let go and let the elevator fall freely.

“We’re only on Level Negative Twenty-Three.” Robin looked back at the floor. “Is there any other way to get back to the surface?”

“No.” Yang Le shook his head. “Cadmus Labs is a one-way street. To prevent others from sneaking in from other places, there is only one elevator for traveling.”

When I was a kid watching Young Justice, I didn't pay attention to this Project Kr. Later, I realized that this doctor doesn't seem to be an original villain. There is this character in the comics, and the code name is Gigantomachia.
