Chapter 59 Backward into the sea
Disaster strikes suddenly.
People heard a roar in their sleep, a sound like the sky splitting. The next moment, Gotham's retaining wall cracked. Tons of floodwater rushed into the city like raging waves. The water flow hit the buildings and roads with unparalleled power. Huge water waves rolled up and set off tsunami-like waves.
“The subway entrance is flooded!”
That's from the subway's control center.
"The pumping system is not responding, and the decompression system power! We need power!"
But there is nothing the Power Supply Bureau can do at this time. The staff were busy like ants on a hot pot, but all the machines were unresponsive. Every screen in front of them was occupied by an overbearing purple-red screen, with a green question mark in the center.
"Director, it's that lunatic called the Riddler!" Someone shouted desperately, "He has hijacked all the machines, and there is nothing we can do."
The priest of the church raised the cross on his chest, closed his eyes and began to recite silently.
"God, forgive our sins."
"."
Batman used his hook to fly onto the roof of a house. He saw the floods sweeping through the streets near the coast, seeing vehicles, stalls and sidewalks washed away, looking like tiny leaves swirling in a whirlpool when viewed from above.
The windows of the building were broken by the water, and the water invaded the room like a monster. Streetlights, signs and trees were uprooted, and crashes and collapses occurred one after another.
"Master? Master, are you still there!?"
Alfred's voice came from the headset.
At this time, Batman had just rescued two trapped citizens from a closed room with the help of a grappling gun. He squatted on a gargoyle, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky, falling steadily on his cloak and mask.
"It's my fault, Alfred."
He looked down at the floodwaters pouring wildly into city blocks.
"I caught Nygma, but I couldn't stop him. I didn't expect him to be so crazy. I expected it wrong. This shouldn't be the case."
What are you doing! ? "
Right in the middle of the call.
In an instant, incandescent light suddenly burst out. A pillar of light shot straight into the sky, and a red and silver giant suddenly appeared above the flooded coastline.
The bright light forced Batman to raise his arms to shield himself in front of him, his cloak flying in the wild wind.
And when he looked carefully, the pupils under the mask couldn't help but shrink slightly.
It's the being called "Ultraman".
But now, what is he doing here?
Many people noticed the movement here. In fact, a fifty-meter-tall giant appeared in the sky above the city accompanied by a burst of bright light that made people panic. It was still difficult to ignore it.
It's just that the situation is urgent at the moment, everyone is too busy taking care of themselves, and no one has time to stop and think.
Batman on the gargoyle narrowed his eyes.
What is he going to do?
The next moment, the giant was seen crossing his wrists in front of his chest and clenching his fists.
In a daze, Batman seemed to see the entire sky flicker.
Like thunder that came from nowhere, it pierced the sky, and the world flashed in front of the giant.
The giant raised his palm.
Toward the direction of the sea, toward the seawater rushing into the city like thousands of horses galloping.
It was as if an irresistible order had been issued.
Batman's pupils shrank.
He is a man who is not easily surprised. No matter what situation you face, you can think calmly, and you can always find a way out even in the most impossible situations.
But at this moment, even he had to admit that he was indeed shocked.
Words he thought he would never believe came to mind.
miracle.
The rushing, uncontrollable raging sea water and the picture of destruction of heaven and earth were still.
The rushing sea water stopped abruptly in mid-air, and the water flowed turbulently and strangely in mid-air.
In short, it is a physics-defying shot of Mr. Niu taking off the cover when he saw it.
The floodwaters seemed to be cut off in the middle. Only then did people gradually start to take a look in the direction of the breached embankment.
Then everyone stayed in place, their expressions gradually exploded, and they saw the picture that was incomprehensible.
"God."
Some citizens knelt down unconsciously and raised their heads, feeling the impact from the visual to the soul brought by the shaking shots.
Even the priest walked out of the church and stared blankly at the red and silver giant who stopped the flood with one hand.
Suddenly, I felt that the cross on my chest no longer smelled good.
Ultra Barrier is a telekinesis skill derived from telekinesis.
The one who is better at this technique in the Kingdom of Light is Senior Jack, the instructor of the Ultra Dojo. He had used this trick in his personal drama, using telekinesis to create a barrier and forcefully push back the tsunami that nearly flooded Tokyo.
Long before his rebirth, Shen You was shocked when he saw this scene on TV as a child. He felt that this Ultraman was so strong that he had no friends. After his rebirth, he also learned this trick after mastering telekinesis, but of course, it was still incomparable to his predecessors.
Although Jack is known as the Bracelet Stand, his attainments in telekinesis are actually second to none in the Kingdom of Light. And even though he was as strong as Jack, he immediately ran out of energy after pushing back the tsunami, unable to fight any longer and disappeared. Of course Shen You doesn't have the skills of his seniors.
Fortunately, Gotham is not Tokyo, and the current small flood is not of the same magnitude as the tsunami that our predecessors faced. Senior Jack's tsunami was an epic tsunami caused by the combined efforts of the tsunami monster and the tornado monster. He pushed it back with one person and washed away the two monsters.
What Shen You was facing at this time was just a maniac who had eaten enough and used a bomb to blow up a gap in the key part of the retaining wall.
At this level, even his half-baked Ultra Barrier is just a water drop in the literal sense.
Shen You changed his gestures, raised his arms, and activated his telekinesis again.
The next moment, countless eyes focused on the coastline saw an even more shocking scene.
The stagnant sea water, the waves all over the sky, and with the giant's waving of his arms as if under command——
——Flow into the sea backwards!
It was as if a great higher-dimensional being had pressed the rewind button for this disaster.
The raging flood suddenly rolled back. With a turbulence a hundred times greater than when it came, it rolled back like thousands of horses galloping, just like thousands of troops from the sea fleeing after seeing an invincible barrier.
The people at the scene survived the disaster. Wet people walked onto the street, families hugging each other tightly, fathers hugging their children, and lovers hugging each other. All eyes were focused on the majestic and huge back in the sky.
Just like the shock of the ancient Israelites when they saw the Red Sea parting in front of Moses.
The violent winds subsided, the heavy rain subsided, and the turbulent sea returned to tranquility.
The giant in mid-air lowered his hands, and his figure gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared.
It was like an epic dream.
