### **Chapter 2: Clash of Titans**
The night had settled over Metropolis, casting an eerie calm over the city that contrasted sharply with the chaos erupting in the alleyway. The clash between Sukuna and the city's heroes intensified as Superman and Doctor Strange fought to contain the otherworldly menace.
Sukuna's laughter reverberated through the night as he unleashed a torrent of cursed energy. The alleyway became a battleground of raw power. Doctor Strange chanted incantations, his hands weaving complex patterns in the air. Protective shields flared into existence, deflecting Sukuna's cursed energy away from innocent bystanders.
Superman, his cape billowing behind him, soared towards Sukuna, delivering a series of rapid, powerful strikes. His blows connected with the King of Curses, but Sukuna's sinister grin never wavered. With a flick of his wrist, Sukuna summoned **Nue**, the electric Shikigami, to aid him in the fight. The creature hovered menacingly, its crackling electricity adding a new dimension to the battle.
Doctor Strange's eyes widened in concern. "We need to be careful. His powers are beyond our current understanding, and his Shikigami are amplifying his strength."
Superman gritted his teeth, dodging a bolt of lightning from Nue. "We need to find a way to limit his power. Can you analyze his magic?"
"I'm trying!" Strange replied, focusing his magical energy. He conjured a series of runic symbols around Sukuna, attempting to bind him with ancient sorceries. The runes flared brightly, but Sukuna's cursed energy shattered them effortlessly.
Sukuna chuckled, clearly amused. "You think your petty tricks can contain me? This world's defenses are laughable."
In response, Doctor Strange raised his hands, summoning a more potent spell. A vortex of mystical energy spiraled around Sukuna, momentarily restricting his movements. But the King of Curses, with a mere thought, commanded **Max Elephant** to trample the vortex, breaking free from the magical constraints.
The city's skyline was illuminated by bursts of energy as Superman and Sukuna engaged in fierce combat. Superman's heat vision lashed out, cutting through the night, but Sukuna deflected it with a barrier of cursed energy. The two combatants exchanged powerful blows, each testing the limits of the other's strength.
Suddenly, a new presence entered the fray. **Wonder Woman** descended from the sky, her Lasso of Truth glowing with divine light. She landed beside Superman, her eyes fierce with determination. "I sensed the disturbance. This battle needs more than just brute force."
Wonder Woman engaged Sukuna with her unparalleled combat skills, her sword slicing through the cursed energy. The King of Curses was momentarily caught off guard, his focus divided between the Amazonian warrior and Superman's relentless assault. The combination of their attacks began to push Sukuna back, though he quickly adapted, using **Mahoraga** to counter their efforts with adaptive defenses.
The battle raged on, each hero fighting with all their might, their combined strength momentarily forcing Sukuna to retreat. The King of Curses stood amidst the rubble, his expression a mix of frustration and amusement. "Impressive. You heroes have more resilience than I expected. But I haven't even begun to show you my true power."
Sukuna raised his hand, and with a commanding gesture, summoned **Piercing Ox**. The massive Shikigami charged forward, its immense power shaking the ground. Superman and Wonder Woman braced themselves, their combined strength struggling to hold back the onslaught.
Doctor Strange, recognizing the growing threat, chanted a powerful incantation. A swirling portal appeared above them, and a figure clad in golden armor stepped through—**Thor**, the God of Thunder. His Mjolnir crackled with divine energy as he joined the battle.
"By Odin's beard, what manner of creature is this?" Thor roared, hurling Mjolnir towards Sukuna. The hammer struck true, sending a shockwave of energy through the cursed King.
Sukuna staggered, his expression darkening. "A god, is it? This just got interesting."
The clash of gods, heroes, and curses continued under the moonlit sky, each combatant pushing their limits. Metropolis, caught in the crossfire, became a stage for a cosmic struggle that transcended worlds.
As the battle reached a fever pitch, the fate of the city hung in the balance. The heroes' resolve and Sukuna's malevolence collided with catastrophic force, setting the stage for a conflict that would test the very fabric of reality itself.
