American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

Huh, uh, uh~

In the counter-world, Colin opened his eyes and heard the howling wind in his ears.

boom!

However, before he could react, violent flames and explosions enveloped his body, and the missile launched by Ultron accurately hit him.

In the huge impact of the explosion, Colin fell rapidly like a weightless airplane, penetrated the clouds and fell heavily into the sea, causing a large amount of water splashes and waves.

"Lost target trace...Lost target trace..."

Controlling the flamethrower device behind it to land at sea level.

Ultron turned the mechanical eyes with scarlet light shining in his eye sockets, constantly scanning the sparkling sea below.

"Target destroyed! Attack mode, end!"

After a few seconds, it was determined that there was no sign of any suspicious target.

Only then did Ultron stop the dangerous red light in his eyes, and the activated weapon bay also closed and returned to normal.

"Unlock..."

Putting away the offensive weapons on his body, with a huge roar of the engine, Ultron sprayed huge flames from behind and circled away from the sea.

"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."

And just a few minutes after it left, it was accompanied by several violent coughs.

Colin, who should have died under the missile attack, now jumped out of the water.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance..."

He opened his mouth and spat out the salty sea water in his mouth. Colin took a big breath of air and was thankful at the same time.

The process of returning to the counter-world was more dangerous than he had previously expected. It could be said that he was almost given no time to react. The moment Colin opened his eyes, the missile had already hit his body.

If not before, he had successfully unlocked Superman's [Super Defense Power] in the real world.

Maybe what's floating on the sea now is Colin's charred stumps. No, no, with the power of the missile just now, there may not even be any body left, but it may just be thrown into ashes.

After settling down my emotions, I controlled my body and swam towards the coast.

At the same time, Colin turned his attention to the text.

[Contact the twisted time node and collect a small amount of time fragments × 2]

【Bronze Mark(3/100)】

【Faith(783/10000)】

There is no doubt that [time fragments] were also produced in this 'contact' with Ultron Type I.

But if possible, Colin would rather such contact not happen.

After all, compared to the process of casually shaking hands and chatting with Strange, or interviewing Mr. Hyde and others to obtain the fragments. At the moment, the process of obtaining the two fragments from Ultron is too dangerous.

a little.

This price/performance ratio is terrible.

Shaking his head and looking away from the word "Time Fragments (Ultron)" in the text, Colin swam towards the coastline while thinking about his experience of the attack.

For Colin, this attack was an unforeseen disaster.

First of all, he has no idea why Ultron attacked him.

The opponent suddenly appeared in the air, and then without any explanation or warning, he launched a missile directly at him who was [invisible].

The whole process has no logic.

"So, what did I do to trigger Ultron's attack?"

Recalling the peaceful days before, the only special thing seemed to be the act of flying.

"In other words, it was because I showed my [flying] ability and flew into the air that I attracted Ultron's attack..."

After all, he was negligent, thinking that he would not be discovered under the cover of [Invisibility].

"But why?"

"It's just [Flying]. If I remember correctly, Songbird, a member of the Thunderbolts that I interviewed before, also has this ability. Why didn't she attract Ultron when she was flying in the air?

What about locking and attacking?”

"Or, Ultron's attack only targets a specific target, and I happened to be this target."

One doubt after another flashed in Colin's mind.

He recalled the appearance of Ultron before. There was no doubt that the other party had not awakened artificial intelligence, which meant that Ultron was under control.

"Then who controlled the attack launched by Ultron?"

Floating in the sea, Colin looked up at the blue sky above his head. The sun shone through the clouds on his face, bringing with it a somewhat hot temperature.

Other than that, it seems to be no different from the sky in my memory.

…

By the time Colin swam ashore, it was already dark at the beach.

I 'borrowed' some clothes from a vacation villa on the beach to replace the tattered cloth strips on my body.

Colin began to rush back according to his memory.

His previous experience of being attacked made him a lot more cautious, and he even used his [invisibility] ability when walking home.

The journey along the way was quite smooth and peaceful. There were no accidents or blind people coming to cause trouble for him.

Phew~

Climb the stairs to your apartment.

Standing in front of the door, Colin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and exited the [Stealth] mode with a looming figure.

The experience along the way seemed extremely long to him. When he came to the door of his house and relaxed, all the tiredness that had been forgotten came back, both mentally and physically. At this moment, Colin felt

My head felt like it had been hurting for a week straight, and maybe I would fall asleep the next second I closed my eyes.

Bracing up for his energy, he put his hand on the door handle.

Click!

With a slight twisting sound, the originally closed door was forcefully opened by Colin.

The original key had long since been reduced to ashes due to Ultron's previous attack, and now he didn't have the energy to find the landlord to get another key.

Simply open the door and go in first.

Open the door and enter the house.

"Do you think you can get rid of Ultron's pursuit this way, Mr. Colin Looper?"

Before Colin could make any move, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the room.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a vague figure standing there motionless in the shadow of the room window.

"Who are you?"

Turning his head to look at the place where the sound came from, Colin asked solemnly, while feeling speechless in his heart.

So is the [Invisibility] ability I unlocked fake?

How come no one can find me?

"..."

After a brief silence, a man wearing a black windbreaker, his body wrapped tightly, walked out of the shadows.

"Howard Stark, leader of the Dark Avengers..."

Howard Stark?!

Looking at the man walking out of the shadows and the name he spoke, Colin's face showed a look of shock and astonishment.

If he remembered correctly, the Stark family had been unfortunately killed as early as the 1990s, including Howard Stark, the founder of Stark Industries.

This was the news report that Colin saw when he first traveled through time.
