Chapter 257 On the Verge of Losing Control
It seems that someone's communication with Director Cissell did not go very smoothly.
Why did the invincible Vixingians flee in defeat during their confrontation with Sissel? This leads us to a weakness of the Vixingians discovered by Sissel.
Just like the Kryptonites' Kryptonite, the Voidlings also have their own fatal flaws.
The physical structure of the aliens is so exquisite that their senses are excessively sensitive in some aspects.
Mark's inner ear cochlea is extremely sensitive to certain frequency bands of ultrasound. Just hearing them causes him to experience a splitting headache and lose the ability to move on the spot.
With just one glance, Joey understood the reason for Mark's apparent distress: "So that's what that headphone in your head is for!"
While Cecil was just doing what he was supposed to do in his position, Joey had to admit that Cecil went overboard in many ways.
Secretly monitoring Mark's entire family was bad enough, but to make matters worse, they implanted a tiny earpiece in Mark's brain that could play high-frequency sound waves at any time, instantly rendering Mark unable to resist.
"That's why I always avoid people like Cecil."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Before Joey had even finished speaking, Cecil arrived at the scene using the teleportation machine that was said to cost taxpayers five million dollars to activate each time.
Faced with Mark's unfounded accusations, Cissell naturally had to defend himself:
"Don't listen to Mark's nonsense, I didn't intend to kill him, that kid has lost his mind!"
Mark's claim that Cissell wanted to kill him was a gross exaggeration.
The Invincible Young Hero is Earth's only hope to resist the aliens in the future. Even if Cecilia is not very bright, she would not do something so stupid.
Knowing that Mark was powerless against the sonic suppression, Cisel shouted back the Global Defense Force members who had unwittingly surrounded him, and teleported in even more cyborgs in the process:
"Get out of the way! Invincible young hero, you have to come back to the station with me!"
The heroes present were immediately stumped.
On one side is Director Cissell, who organized the new Global Guardians, and on the other is the invincible young hero who has always fought alongside them.
How should I choose?
"No, I absolutely will not go back with you!"
There's a reason why Cecilia was so eager to bring Mark back to the team. For instance, while the two sides were separated, Mark revealed many secrets that shouldn't have been leaked in order to persuade the heroes:
"Cesare is working with serial killer Sinclair! He also let Angus Strong, who tried to kill my family, go free, and he even poisoned the nation's drinking water! He wants to arrest me because he's afraid I'll tell everyone!"
Cecilia sighed, "Kid, you're really good at getting into trouble."
The situation he least wanted to see still happened; the saying "the longer the night lasts, the more things can go wrong" perfectly describes the current situation.
Some things may seem insignificant on the scale, but once weighed, they can become incredibly heavy.
Regardless of the reasons, the Global Defense Agency did indeed do these things: secretly collaborating with Sinclair, detaining and treating Angstrom, and poisoning the drinking water of residents.
These things might be considered strategic thinking by Cecil and the Defense Agency, but to these young superheroes, they were nothing short of a stroke.
After hearing these things, it's no longer a question of which side they will stand on.
Thinking of this, Cecilia immediately prepared to turn on the ultrasonic controller again, regardless of the consequences, and bring Mark back to the station first.
Then he felt a blur before his eyes, and the remote control in his hand had vanished.
"alright."
Joey was fiddling with the sonic remote control that Cecilia had previously treated like her lifeblood, preventing Cecilia from further escalating the conflict.
Having witnessed the entire conflict, he could only say that what disappointed him most was not Mark or Cisel, but the robot who had been standing by his side the whole time.
From Mark's fall to the current situation, the robot had at least three opportunities to choose to stand on Mark's side and gain his friendship, but it chose to stay put each time.
He wanted to win over Mark, but he didn't want to offend Cissell and the Global Defense Agency behind him.
A person with high emotional intelligence would say that people like the robot Rudy are typical of those who plan carefully before acting and make thorough preparations before taking action.
A person with low emotional intelligence would say that robots are the kind of robots who are afraid to take risks when it comes to great things, miss opportunities, and are useless when given the chance.
Superman being the first to stand up against him was something Cecilia hadn't expected:
"Do you know what you're doing?!"
In Cecilia's memory, ever since his arrival, Superman, like his power, has always had a style of being aloof and independent.
Unless absolutely necessary, they rarely interact with any of the forces in this world.
Joey, of course, wouldn't tell Cecil that the reason he chose to live in seclusion was because he feared that if they interacted too much, he might lose his temper and slap the entire Pentagon, along with the Global Defense Agency located beneath it, flying away.
"I can accept the necessity of people like you existing in the world, but don't go too far, Cissell."
"This is none of your business, Superman."
Despite Joey's attempts to stop him, Cecilia, still furious, didn't abandon her ideas and instead intensified her anger.
"Don't make me put you on my threat list too."
Upon hearing this, Joey was so angry she laughed: "Are you serious?"
Countless cyborgs turned their attention to Joey and surrounded him.
Joey, who had seen many large-scale events and was surrounded by metal resurrected beings, crushed the sonic controller in his hand. This was the first time he had ever seen someone try to threaten him with a pile of scrap metal.
"I'm about to leave this universe. In these final moments, can't we leave each other with at least a slightly better impression?"
Joey was too lazy to solve the problem with violence; he chose to reason with people.
"I've said it before, Cecilia—stop fantasizing that everything is under your control. You either have to be a bad guy or do something stupid, but don't do both like this."
Cissel's palms were already starting to sweat.
It wasn't that he felt any pressure from the Kryptonian in front of him; the other party showed absolutely no aggression, neither in terms of his aura nor his appearance.
He's basically just an ordinary, melancholic teenage boy.
But we can't judge everything by appearances alone.
Cecil was afraid because he saw the metallic resurrected beings surrounding him trembling.
These inanimate objects seemed to come alive, fighting against the completely dead program. They were afraid of the Kryptonian in front of them. He remembered the madman Dr. Earthquake's incoherent ramblings in prison, such as "the great destroyer of the world" and other nonsense.
It appears that this is not unfounded.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the pale yellow moonlight shone through the large hole Mark had just smashed through, casting its light between the two men facing off.
This moonlight, with a color completely different from the moonlight that has been spilled on Earth for hundreds of millions of years, finally calmed down the somewhat furious Cissel.
After calming down, all Cecilia could feel was a lingering fear—Superman was absolutely right, she had acted both bad and stupid.
Just because Superman looks like a human and acts like a human doesn't mean we should treat him as a human being.
"This matter ends here."
Under pressure from Joey, Cecily chose to back down, hoping that Superman would really leave soon as he said.
Such a near-divine species, simply by existing, has caused immeasurable harm to this world.
"As for you, Mark~"
Just as Cissell was about to unleash her anger on Mark, Mark, who was rushing towards her, grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air.
The sound wave-emitting earphone in the Invincible Young Hero's mind has become ineffective under Joey's heat vision, and he no longer has any weakness that Cecil can exploit.
"Fuck you, Cecilia!"
Taking deep breaths again and again, Mark tried his best to calm himself down. The surge of adrenaline from the pain had brought him closer to losing control than ever before.
