‌Annihilation Pulse ‌

The high-pressure story of fusion of instant extinction countdown and space cancer

By anminPublished 10 months ago 2 min read

When Clark caught the falling International Space Station, his right hand suddenly became entropic and rotten. The three astronauts transform into silicon-based creatures the moment they touch his skin, screaming and piercing his breastplate with their crystal arms. The global broadcast screen flashed synchronously at the moment, and all the screens displayed a countdown - "time left on Earth: 2 hours and 47 minutes", the digital beating frequency was exactly the same as his heartbeat.

"Your biological force field is dismembering Earth's core." Lex emerges from the wreckage of the melted satellite, his robotic eyeballs projecting a real-time map of the disaster - the Gotham Elementary School that Clark saved three minutes ago is now swelling at the speed of sound into a fortress of flesh and blood, kryptonite tusks bulging from window frames.

Space festering

The Fortress of Solitude ice exploded with quantum cancer after Clark landed. The cold stream of frozen breath suddenly materialized into countless clowns armed with realistic scalpels cutting Metropolis into floating organs. When Clark's X-ray vision penetrated the Earth's crust, he saw that his retina was rewriting the DNA of the continental plates, and black scales began to grow on the west coast of America.

Louise presses a kryptonite dagger against her carotid artery: "The second you saved me, Tokyo disappeared." Her pupils suddenly split into twelve diamond-shaped screens, broadcasting live footage of twelve cities around the world being swallowed by the folds of space. When Clark tries to grab the knife, it suddenly multiplies into a barbed wire, stringing their hearts together into a symbiotic circuit.

Actual carcinogenesis

Lex flies through the sky with a annihilation mech forged from sunspots, and Clark's trajectory leaves a bitumen of cancer in the sky. The moment the heat vision collided with the Mecha, the entire Pacific plate was lifted by the quantization, turning into a giant fly swatter that crashed into the Texas farm. Martha raises the flare gun in the cornfield, but the bullet dissolves in midair into Clark's baby cry.

"You're the virus that killed the world!" Steel bones swooped down from the rotting clouds, and robotic arms unfolded into parallel universe annihilation cannons. Clark's muscle tremor triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami, which lifted 300,000 Kryptonian skeletons from its crests. As his ankles are grabbed by the horde, Antarctica suddenly folds into a real-life syringe, stabbing the condensed law of the Dark Forest into the spine.

Autophagy endgame

When Clark ripped open his chest and pulled out the vibrating Kryptonian heart, the entire world suddenly vomited blood in sync. His biological force field collapses out of control into miniature black holes, crushing Lex's Mechs into a soup of elementary particles. Lois presses the reality reset button at the edge of the event horizon, only to find Clark's baby footprint engraved on the surface.

"Perception is pollution." The remnant of Jor-El crawls out of the black hole singularity, holding the melting galaxy in his hands. When Clark's last tear evaporated, all the planets in the solar system suddenly opened their bloody eyes. At 0.03 seconds before the annihilation of absolute silence, Clark finally heard Earth's last words - his first cry when he first arrived on Earth.
