Chapter 124 Radiation Sickness
Wonder Woman dodges attacks from the ground as she weaves through the air.
Doomsday had tried every possible method, but still couldn't reach this annoying fly flying in the air.
After narrowly escaping her opponent's heat vision once again, Wonder Woman still couldn't find a suitable opening.
It is not a "starting point" in a rhetorical sense, but a starting point in a physical sense.
The mottled bone spurs on Doomsday's body were gradually growing, and Diana was unsure whether the strength of the sword in her hand could penetrate this exoskeleton armor and kill him instantly.
According to Joey and Batman, this thing evolves faster than anyone can imagine in combat; once anything has damaged it once, it's very difficult for it to work a second time.
Therefore, if Diana wants to win the battle, she can only maneuver around the enemy, observe and wait, and find the perfect moment that only comes once.
And all of this is based on the premise that Kryptonite weapons are still effective against Doomsday.
This is a gamble where our side has almost no effective chips.
Her only consolation was that she had managed to use herself as bait to hold back the monster and prevent it from wreaking havoc on a larger scale.
Such slaughter and destruction are far beyond what this world can bear; Diana can already hear the lament of Mother Earth, Gaia.
Diana didn't know which of the three Fates was the goddess of fortune in ancient Greece; all she knew was that she needed a little bit of luck.
The Doomsday apocalypse lunged at her again, but Diana dodged it as she had done before.
However, this time the opponent's trajectory has changed somewhat.
These exoskeletons, engulfed in fission flames and radiation, began to multiply and grow rapidly, transforming into the shape of a pair of wings.
In this short battle, Doomsday has evolved not only its physical body, but also its fighting instincts. For example, right now, it is imitating the flying creatures on this planet!
The flapping of his wings actually caused him to shift slightly to the side, allowing him to swing his fist at the approaching Wonder Woman.
Doomsday has almost no consciousness or reason, which makes it unable to understand and subconsciously utilize the bio-force field of Kryptonian creatures under the yellow sunlight, thus preventing it from flying.
At that moment, the act of imitating the wings of a bird allowed it to find, for a brief instant, the trick to drive its bio-force field to counteract gravity.
Even with its sprint distance, it still wouldn't have been enough to hit Wonder Woman, who was retreating and creating distance.
A glint flashed in Doomsday's crimson eyes as it raised its arm and pointed in Diana's direction, the exoskeleton spikes covering the back of its hand growing rapidly forward.
Doomsday thrust the bone spurs from the back of his hand out like retractable spears, piercing Wonder Woman's right shoulder before she could react.
"Woolen cloth!"
The numbness and excruciating pain at the junction of her arm and shoulder almost caused Wonder Woman to drop the kryptonite sword she was holding.
Before she could break free, the bone spikes piercing her from both ends transmitted the power of the Doomsday from the other end, dragging her forcefully into the ground. The impact of the fall triggered a massive explosion and dust.
The sudden turn of events left Diana with no room for maneuver; she no longer cared how many times the Kryptonite sword could be used against Doomsday.
With a whoosh, Diana switched the hand holding the sword, slashing the bone spur piercing her with her left hand.
The good news is that the effortless feel of severing the bone spikes just now convinced Diana that the kryptonite embedded in this ordinary iron sword was indeed effective against Doomsday.
The bad news is that Diana discovered it too late, and in her current state, it's difficult for her to deliver a fatal blow to Doomsday.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Diana reached down and pulled out the broken bone spurs from her body. This action drew out even more blood, staining the ground beneath her feet crimson.
Logically speaking, such a large wound should not have any foreign objects removed before medical assistance is available.
Diana had no other choice at that moment.
These bone spurs not only hindered her joint movement, but they were also clearly deadly to Diana.
Diana's skin around her wound began to redden, the wound became painful, and her self-healing ability took extremely slow effect.
Doomsday's roar echoed not far beyond the smoke-shrouded area. Wonder Woman tried to switch the sword from her left hand back to her right, but failed.
The Amazons' exceptional eyesight and hearing should have prevented her senses from being clouded by the smoke and dust, but now she could only hear the approaching threat, unable to pinpoint its origin.
This made her somewhat anxious and restless. Her head was ringing, and in a moment of dizziness, she even felt that her body could not keep up with her rampant thoughts.
She raised the kryptonite sword in her left hand, trying to assume a defensive posture. At the same time, she felt a warm sensation in her nasal cavity, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.
With difficulty, Diana raised her injured right hand and touched her upper lip. All she felt was a wet and sticky substance; bright red blood soaked her already bloodstained fingertips.
Diana knew she had lost from the very beginning.
She needs to find that one perfect sword strike among countless possibilities in order to have any chance of ending Doomsday.
Doomsday only needed this one bloody attack for its deadly poison to seep into its internal organs and rapidly erode its power.
Diana was on edge, gripping her longsword tightly with the last of her will and strength.
Like a beast caught in a trap, all she could do now was gather her remaining strength to launch a final counterattack when Doomsday came to end her life.
Hopefully, Joey has already come up with a solution; this is all I can do.
Diana, now poisoned, had lost all hope of victory. Her greatest desire at this moment was simply to perish together with Doomsday in the last moments of her life.
Alternatively, one could take a step back and severely damage the opponent, creating an opportunity for one's other partners.
From the other end of the mist came the roar of rotors cutting through the air. The sound was initially low and distant, but it grew louder and louder in a short time, making it impossible for Diana and Doomsday to ignore.
Diana's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, while Doomsday stopped his killing spree and fixed his gaze firmly on a figure inside the helicopter.
For Diana, who was nearly unconscious, the only way she could describe her weakness and abnormality was that she had been "poisoned".
For Batman and Joey, who arrived by helicopter, it has a more common and easily understood name.
Radiation sickness.
