Chapter 79: Defeating Black Adam
Kal-El turned around and shot toward Earth as a beam of light.
He immediately contacted Bruce.
"Darkseid has arrived."
Justice League base.
Kal-El, Diana, Bruce, Arthur, Barry, Clark, and Victorgathered together.
The atmosphere was heavy, and everyone could feel the urgency of an impending battle.
Kal-El stood up and faced everyone.
"Darkseid is coming. Everyone, prepare for this war!"
"Where is Darkseid's army?"
Bruce stepped forward to connect to the satellite imagery.
There was no sign of the Apokolips army in space.
"The satellites can only see near-Earth space and cannot observe the entire Solar System."
Kal-El nodded gently.
"I can see them; their ships have approached the Solar System."
"How many ships are there?"
"A lot!"
"How are we going to fight?"
Bruce asked the question everyone cared about most.
Kal-El looked at everyone and opened the map of Earth in the 3D projection in front of him.
His gaze slowly moved, gradually shifting to the western United States, the location of Nevada.
"Here is the most suitable battlefield."
"The Great Basin Desert?"
"Yes, nearly two hundred thousand square miles, enough for our decisive battle with Darkseid."
"Can I ask a question?"
The Flash suddenly raised both hands.
"Can we block them outside of Earth?"
"How can we block them? I can only guarantee stopping Darkseid."
"What about nuclear weapons?"
"The technology of Apokolips is more advanced than that of humans, and their ships have protective shields. I don't think nuclear weapons can stop them in space."
"Fighting in space, humans can only launch missiles, which probably won't cause much damage to the ships of Apokolips."
"However, their energy cannons can pinpoint strikes on human military and nuclear bases from space."
"Well, it seems we should prepare to fight on Earth."
"We need to bring the Mother Box to the Great Basin Desert before the war begins, and Darkseid's army will definitely follow."
"Will they attack humans in various countries?"
Bruce was somewhat worried that Darkseid would send troops to launch global attacks.
"Only by defeating us first can Darkseid conquer Earth without obstruction; otherwise, everything he does is meaningless."
"Moreover, on Earth, the alliance of humans, Atlantis, and the Amazon is not without the strength for a fight."
Bruce nodded.
The meeting adjourned, and Bruce immediately passed the news to high-ranking government officials.
U.S. Department of Defense.
"Can this news be confirmed?"
The Secretary of Defense looked at Amanda Waller!
"This is news coming from the Justice League, and I think it is basically reliable."
The Secretary of Defense paced slowly.
"But space is still calm right now, and the so-called Apokolips army has not appeared."
"General, preparing when they appear will already be too late."
"I need to wait for exact news. I cannot report such unevidenced news to the President."
"Then please, General, keep an eye on space at all times to ensure a decision can be made at the first possible moment."
Amanda turned and left, the Secretary of Defense frowning as he looked at her back.
"Alien invasion again?"
After much thought, the Secretary of Defense still reported the news to the President.
But regarding such baseless matters, Trump only had the military closely monitor the situation in space.
In his view, they possessed nuclear missiles and could stop aliens in space at any time.
I don't know if it was because he drank too much cola lately, but Trump always seemed frivolous.
In Kahndaq, within the underwater prison.
Black Adam was awakened by Doctor Fate.
"A new crisis is about to emerge on Earth, and we need your help."
Black Adam was expressionless, his strong body full of oppression.
"I'm not interested in saving the world."
Doctor Fate nodded.
"Before you refuse, I think you need to see someone."
"Fine!"
"Since you let me out, I won't go back to prison."
"Shazam!"
Bang!
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, precisely striking Black Adam's body.
Feeling the powerful divine power within his body, Black Adam suddenly felt an impulse to vent.
He immediately flashed and flew out, but then suddenly stopped.
Kal-El blocked Black Adam's path, hovering quietly above the sea surface.
"We need to talk?"
Black Adam narrowed his eyes and looked at Kal-El seriously.
"Wanting me to save the world?"
Kal-El chuckled lightly.
"No, it's us saving the world together; you just need to help out at the right time."
Kal-El shook his head and smiled, having no intention of forcing the other party.
"It won't be hard."
"Who are you?"
"Superman, a member of the Justice League."
"If you want me to help, then defeat me first. Otherwise, I'll do whatever I want, and no one can stop me."
Kal-El nodded and smiled.
"As you wish."
Bang!
Black Adam suddenly reached out, and a bolt of black lightning containing a destructive aura suddenly shot out at a terrifying speed.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, a large swath of electrical sparks flashed in front of Kal-El.
Kal-El patted his chest and looked at Black Adam.
"I'm going to attack!"
Bang!
His figure suddenly magnified in Black Adam's eyes.
Bang!
With just a single punch, Black Adam's body instantly flew backward.
Black Adam was not to be outdone; he stabilized his body and charged toward Kal-El again at an extremely fast speed.
Electric light flickered on his body, and a powerful current flooded his entire being.
He used all his strength and launched a fierce attack on Kal-El.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ——!
Their physical bodies collided continuously, and the aftermath of their fight whipped up huge waves on the sea surface.
Water columns constantly exploded all around.
Black Adam was still attacking frantically, while Kal-El casually parried.
Bang!
A punch carrying lightning blasted over again.
Kal-El also clenched his fists, condensing the surrounding air onto his fist.
Air shockwave punch.
With a single punch, an invisible air wave rushed toward Black Adam with a fierce wind.
Bang!
Just as Black Adam's fist was about to land on Kal-El's chest, his internal organs suddenly vibrated frantically.
The air wave penetrated his skin and went deep into his visceral organs.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, the force of his fist suddenly dissipated, and his entire body was blasted toward the sea surface by Kal-El's powerful punch.
Bang!
A hundreds-of-meters-high water column shot straight into the sky, and Black Adam's body heavily plunged into the seabed.
After a long time, the water surface exploded, and Black Adam suddenly rushed up from the seabed.
Kal-El stood in mid-air, quietly looking at Black Adam.
"I lost. I will await your summons."
Kal-El was not surprised.
"Thanks!"
Black Adam suddenly asked a question.
"How much of your strength did you just use?"
Kal-El turned his head and looked at Black Adam seriously.
"Less than half!"
Black Adam nodded.
"How much specifically?"
"About twenty percent!"
Black Adam's face darkened immediately.
Was that fierce fight just Superman playing with him like a pet monkey?
...
In less than half a day, dense alien spaceships had appeared in space.
Countries around the world discovered these sci-fi-esque alien spaceships.
Kal-El looked at the few people.
"It's time to relocate, to the Great Basin Desert."
"Also, Bruce, notify the government to evacuate the local residents."
"Okay, I will contact the government and arrange it as soon as possible."
At Belle Reve Penitentiary, the members of Task Force Xgathered.
Amanda looked at the Task Force X members in front of her.
"Your mission has arrived. Get ready for battle."
Chapter 80: The Fight with Darkseid
"Understood!"
Robert and the others also understood that this matter was of great importance, so they didn't relax too much.
"To enhance your combat power, I have brought you some reinforcements."
Clap, clap!
Amanda clapped her hands, and a few familiar figures walked in.
"Deadshot, El Diablo, Killer Croc."
With every person who walked in, the smile on Harley Quinn's face grew a bit wider.
There was still one more.
A bald man wearing sunglasses walked in.
"Dr. Sivana!"
Everyone was even more pleasantly surprised.
This person's combat power was quite formidable, capable of continuously emitting lightning and summoning demons.
"At the instruction of Superman from the Justice League, Dr. Sivana will also enter the battlefield to fight in coordination with Task Force X."
Dr. Sivana silently nodded.
"Now, go choose your equipment."
Led by Rick Flag, the group headed to the training ground, where various weapons and equipment were displayed on the training tables.
Various hot weapons like firearms, bazookas, and howitzers dazzled Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn casually picked up a bazooka barrel, and the more she looked at its mighty and domineering barrel, the more she liked it.
"Big guys like this are the most thrilling!"
Deadshot slowly stepped forward and stood straight in front of Robert.
"I heard that anything in your hands can turn into the most fatal weapon?"
Robert didn't act modest either; instead, he raised his chin, and the two of them were practically pressed against each other.
"I heard that you are also the world's top sharpshooter, capable of killing enemies from any angle?"
Deadshot smiled.
"We can have a contest."
"The last person who competed with me was Peacemaker, and as a result, he was almost wiped out by Harley Quinnand the others."
Deadshot shook his head with a smile, suddenly picked up a pistol from the training table, and fired at the training target.
Bang, bang, bang!
Sparks flew everywhere.
Switch guns.
Bang, bang, bang!
Switch again.
...
Almost all the bullets accurately hit the exact same spot.
Unwilling to show weakness, Robert repeated Deadshot's actions.
"Whoa!"
The result of their contest was a tie, but it still drew gasps of amazement from their teammates.
"Then let's prove ourselves on the battlefield!"
"What is this?"
Harley Quinn didn't care about their contest; instead, she kept stuffing herself full of weapons.
She had two pistols strapped to her thighs, a bazooka on her shoulder, and a machine gun hanging across her chest.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a combat suit.
She quickly strode over.
"Whoa! Black Manta's combat suit."
Her pleasantly surprised shout successfully shifted everyone's attention.
The teammates who had jointly captured Black Mantawere also a bit surprised.
"This thing is repaired?"
"Yes, although the core technology couldn't be replicated, it could be repaired using some rare materials."
Harley Quinn put down the machine gun on her chest and eagerly hugged the combat suit.
"Can I choose this?"
"Of course you can, the equipment here is all prepared for you."
Although the other teammates were a bit envious, they didn't choose to fight Harley Quinn for it; after all, Harley Quinn had a good relationship with each of them.
Harley Quinn happily unloaded the weapons hanging on her body and excitedly hugged the combat suit.
Captain Boomerang slammed a hand against his forehead fiercely.
"Damn it, why wasn't I the first one to see it?"
"Weren't you trying to court her, yet you wanted to fight her for this thing?"
"I suddenly realized I like this combat suit even more. Do you know how much effort it took us to take down Black Manta back then."
Rick Flag deeply agreed; actually, he wanted it too.
...
Amazon's Paradise Island.
"The Amazon will join the coalition to deal with Darkseidtogether."
"Yes, Queen!"
At Hippolyta's command, the entire Paradise Island sprang into action.
Countless female warriors leading battle horses assembled in the training ground, forming neat phalanxes.
...
Atlantis.
Aquaman Arthur and Queen Mera sat high upon their thrones.
"Darkseid has returned to Earth. Atlantis and the major ocean kingdoms must prepare to unite with humans and the Amazon."
Several kings nodded one after another.
"In ancient times, various forces on Earth once jointly resisted Darkseid's invasion. I didn't expect that today we would have to unite again."
"We are willing to return to our countries to lead our armies and come to Atlantis to obey your commands."
Meanwhile, human nations also began to make preparations.
Facing Darkseid's powerful alien army, the human nations chose to temporarily put aside their conflicts and make resisting Darkseid their top priority.
In the White House, Trump drank cola and looked at the Secretary of Defense in front of him.
"Can aliens withstand the nuclear bombs of the great United States!"
The Secretary of Defense frowned.
"Mr. President, what I want to tell you is that the technology of Apokolips may be higher than Earth's."
"But we must try. If we can annihilate most of their forces in space, this can also relieve pressure on the Justice League."
The Secretary of Defense stopped trying to persuade him.
"Alright, Mr. President. Although I do not agree, I will carry out the order."
Under the President's will, a military base in the United States became bustling with activity.
After layers of review and password verification, Trumppressed the button to launch the nuclear missile.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the missile silo of the nuclear missile base opened. A hypersonic missile carrying a nuclear warhead roared into the sky, flying towards space at an extremely fast speed.
Inside a huge spaceship in space, Darkseid was quietly sitting on his throne.
"Prepare to open the Mother Box's Boom Tube and lead the army to descend upon Earth!"
Suddenly, a missile rushed rapidly towards the fleet.
Darkseid's expression didn't change at all.
Bang!
A huge fireball exploded amidst the fleet of spaceships in space, and the extreme light and heat immediately diffused.
What no one saw was that Darkseid's mothership suddenly opened a huge protective shield emitting blue light.
The nuclear bomb exploded, and leaders of various countries on Earth were paying attention to the nuclear explosion results.
The dazzling light disappeared, the universe returned to peace, but Darkseid's space fleet was completely intact.
"Goodness!"
Kal-El and the others, who had already arrived at the Great Basin Desert, were also watching this scene.
"As expected!"
Suddenly, a huge muzzle appeared on Darkseid's flagship.
The muzzle began to charge energy, and the blue energy cannon continuously condensed.
Woo—bang—!
With a loud roar, a powerful energy beam fell from space, plunging rapidly toward Earth.
Oh no!
Kal-El instantly soared into the air, flying toward the energy beam exuding an aura of destruction.
Arriving above the nuclear missile base, he flew straight up to meet the energy cannon.
"Kal-El!"
Bang—!
The huge energy wave crashed into Kal-El's body, and a massive explosion echoed through the sky.
The aftermath formed by the powerful energy diffused in all directions, instantly blowing countless objects in the entire nuclear missile base into the air.
The facilities inside the base were battered into pieces by the impact.
Kal-El looked up into the sky, rushed into space at extreme speed, and arrived in front of Darkseid's mothership in just a split second.
Kal-El didn't slow down, slamming a heavy punch onto the mothership's protective shield.
The protective shield suddenly shattered like a bubble, and a tall figure blocked Kal-El's path.
"Kryptonian, you shouldn't have stopped me."
Kal-El didn't waste words, throwing another punch forward.
Bang!
Darkseid was instantly sent flying by this punch containing terrifying power, crashing heavily onto the hull of the mothership.
He slowly got up, without a trace of injury.
"You are stronger than many Kryptonians, but it's still not enough!"
Chapter 81 Space Battle
Darkseid suddenly transformed into a dazzling beam of light, charging forward at extreme speed, and a massive thrust instantly pushed Kal-El out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them continuously collided in space, completely transforming into two unimaginably fast streaks of light.
The aftershocks of their exchange constantly shattered the surrounding meteoroids.
Darkseid's fleet of spaceships was also battered and scattered by the shockwaves of Kal-El and Darkseid's battle.
Fighting in space, Kal-El completely let loose, no longer holding back his formidable destructive power.
Boom!
Darkseid delivered a heavy punch, suddenly slamming toward Kal-El.
Kal-El was instantly shot straight away at a terrifying speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom——!
One ship!
Two ships!
...
Ten ships!
Kal-El's body consecutively crashed through ten spaceships. Amidst the flames and violent explosions, the spaceships instantly broke in half.
A fierce glint flashed in Darkseid's eyes as he charged toward Kal-El once more.
Watching the clash between Kal-El and Darkseid, Apokolips's strategist Desaad turned around and immediately gave an order.
"Have the spaceships enter Earth and retrieve the Mother Box."
Overwhelming numbers of spaceships poured toward Earth one after another.
The sky was completely obscured by the spaceships, like a dark cloud blanketing Earth.
As the flagship entered Earth, Desaad's gaze was drawn to the Great Basin Desert in Nevada.
"The Mother Box is there!"
Led by the flagship, the Apokolips army flew toward the Great Basin Desert.
Countless winged Parademons dropped from the spaceships, deploying their formations across this hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles desert.
Human fighter jets also sortied en masse, blotting out the sky.
Amazon Queen Hippolyta rode on horseback, followed by neatly aligned Amazon cavalrymen riding warhorses.
The human military's tanks arrayed across the grand desert, their ferocious gun barrels raised high.
Countless artillery shells rained down upon the Apokolipsarmy.
Boom! Boom! Boom——!
Large swaths of Parademons plummeted from the sky.
The entire battlefield roared incessantly, and the full-scale battle erupted completely.
Apokolips's spaceships continuously shelled the coalition forces, and every roar of the energy cannons dealt heavy losses to the coalition.
Clark's Heat Vision swept across the battlefield, and the surrounding Parademons were instantly cleared out.
Severed limbs stained with green slime scattered across the ground.
Boom!
Bruce suddenly dodged an energy cannon blast while piloting the Kryptonian fighter jet.
"Kal, we must deal with these spaceships first; their threat is simply too great."
Clark nodded.
He suddenly surged into the sky at extreme speed, slamming toward an Apokolips spaceship.
Boom! Boom! Boom——!
His body completely transformed into the sharpest spear, slicing through spaceship after spaceship on the battlefield. The spaceships, along with the Parademons inside, were swallowed by the explosions.
Diana cleaved several Parademons to pieces with a single sword slash, flew up into mid-air, and looked out over the battlefield; the coalition forces had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Human fighter jets and missiles could only inflict casualties on the countless Parademons army, but could not completely destroy their spaceships.
She suddenly pulled out the lasso of truth.
Throwing it out abruptly, the lasso of truth stretched infinitely.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The lasso of truth heavily wrapped around an Apokolipsspaceship.
"Hah!"
Diana leaned back slightly, her legs stepping heavily into the ground.
She swung the rope with force, and the spaceship at the other end of the rope instantly lost control, crashing toward the surrounding spaceships.
Boom!
A massive explosion rang out as the two spaceships collided, shattering completely under the impact.
Effective!
Diana continued swinging the rope, constantly using the Apokolips spaceships to smash into one another.
Black Adam also suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the powerful force of lightning continuously striking down upon the Parademons.
Seeing the destructive power of the Apokolips spaceships, he completely transformed into a streak of lightning, rampaging wildly through the Apokolips fleet just like Clark.
His immense power and indestructible body slammed heavily into the Apokolips spaceships.
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Spaceships exploded one after another, and the coalition forces gradually stabilized the battle situation.
Countless Parademons abandoned their spaceships and descended; innumerable Parademons soldiers nearly flooded the entire battlefield.
The The Flash operated the Speed Force at full power, rapidly shuttling through the countless Parademonssoldiers. The ultimate speed caused any Parademons that came into contact with him to instantly burst apart.
He suddenly felt something was amiss, stopped running, and discovered his body was covered in green slime.
Ugh!
On another battlefield, Task Force X was also fighting against the Parademons.
Robert shouldered a grenade launcher.
Boom!
A grenade blasted out, and the flashes of fire instantly enveloped several leaping Parademons.
As the smoke cleared, the Parademons had turned into pools of green minced flesh.
Deadshot hid behind the others, his anti-materiel sniper rifle roaring continuously as the heads of Parademonsexploded one by one.
"Watch out!"
Without a moment to catch their breath, another group of Parademons lunged forward again.
El Diablo immediately stepped in front of the group, two massive pillars of fire lunging toward the Parademons.
Boom!
The powerful flames tightly enveloped a large swath of Parademons.
Roar roar!
On the other side, Harley Quinn was displaying mighty prowess while wearing the Black Manta battle suit.
"Whoa, this is awesome."
Plasma rays continuously shot out from Harley Quinn's two large red eyes, and the leaping Parademons instantly turned into pools of minced meat the moment they were hit by the rays.
Amplified by the battle suit, she could easily flip over the bodies of Parademons.
"Whoa, check out my Heat Vision."
The Black Manta's eyes spewed red plasma rays once more.
Boom!
Rays fired incessantly, melting countless Parademons.
"I'm a Superman now too, this is so awesome!"
Led by Doctor Fate, the Justice Society stood guard at the military command headquarters, issuing one order after another methodically.
The howling of spaceships and fighter jets in mid-air was endless, and the Apokolips spaceships exploded one after another under the offensives of Diana, Clark, Black Adam, and others.
Human fighter jets also constantly plummeted from mid-air.
Black smoke filled the battlefield, and the flames of war dyed the clouds in the sky red.
This battle in the Great Basin Desert had already become the focal point of global human attention.
Billy Batson was still at home discussing going to fight aliens with his companions, only to discover that the battle had already broken out for a long time.
"Why didn't anyone come to notify me?"
Although puzzled, he still brought his brothers and sisters to lend assistance.
...
In space, the battle between Kal-El and Darkseid was still ongoing.
Two figures constantly crossed paths in the universe, every collision generating large swaths of sparks.
Boom! Boom!
The two figures suddenly descended toward Mars, crashing heavily onto the Martian surface.
Boom!
The barren ground shook violently as dust fluttered about.
A giant crater appeared in the earth, and Kal-El and Darkseid were still crossing paths with each other.
Their bodies swept across the ground, the hurricane tearing open massive gaps in the earth.
Flying back up into mid-air, the violent roaring made Mars nearly tremble.
The immense power began to distort the surrounding space.
Boom!
With a massive explosive sound, Darkseid's body slammed backward, transforming into a continuously extending straight line in the universe.
Boom!
Until crashing into another planet once again.
He slowly stood up, reaching out to wipe the corner of his mouth, fresh blood staining his fingers.
"Kryptonian, you actually managed to injure me."
Kal-El also wiped the corner of his mouth, a trace of bright red blood casually wiped away.
"There are still plenty of things you haven't imagined!"
Finished speaking, Kal-El lunged forward once more.
A The Flash of cold light suddenly crossed Darkseid's eyes, and two green rays abruptly shot out, arriving before Kal-El in an instant.
Boom!
Kal-El's body suddenly plummeted onto the planet's surface like a kite with a broken string.
Kal-El's body was burned, and a wave of energy was continuously decomposing his body.
After a long while, Kal-El still stood in his original spot.
"How can this be?"
Kal-El's eye sockets slowly turned red, and two powerful high-temperature rays suddenly shot out from his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In mere moments, the rays slammed into Darkseid's chest.
Propelling Darkseid's body backward at a terrifying speed, the rays crashed through every obstacle behind him.
Countless giant rocks burst apart one after another, turning into dust.
His body passed through barren mountain after barren mountain, until piercing through the mountain mass once again.
Boom!
Rumble!
The mountain trembled, rocks collapsed and shattered, completely submerging Darkseid's body.
Amidst the dimness, a pair of red eyes lit up once more
Chapter 82 Battle of World-Extinction
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Darkseid's tall figure walked out once more.
"Kryptonian, nothing special."
The charred wound on his chest recovered rapidly, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.
Kal smiled slightly.
"Since that is the case, try this again."
Kal's eyes shot out two more golden beams.
The speed was even faster.
Darkseid erupted instantly, his entire body springing away like a spring.
But the golden beams also changed direction closely behind, instantly striking Darkseid's body.
Bang!
The tearing sensation from his body caused him to fall to the ground once more, smashing a dense web of cracks into the earth.
"Are these the Omega Beams?"
Feeling this familiar power, Darkseid was shocked once more, followed immediately by a strong intent to kill.
At this moment, Kal had already become the primary threat to his conquest of Earth.
Not only could he resist the Omega Beams, but he had also replicated this powerful ability of his.
His currently most powerful stunt had actually been mastered by a Kryptonian.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the aura around his body changed noticeably.
Whirlwinds appeared around his body.
He took a fierce step forward, and the ground shattered instantly.
"You must die!"
His speed increased once more, and his entire body rushed in front of Kal in an instant.
His fist magnified instantly in Kal's eyes.
Bang!
A massive force came over, causing Kal to slide uncontrollably across the ground.
Kal's legs stepped deeply into the ground, leaving two long gullies on the earth.
Kal reacted quickly and stood up abruptly.
Bang!
Another punch!
A sharp pain came from his chest, and Kal's body flew backward in an unstoppable posture.
Darkseid did not give Kal any breathing room, catching up once more, and a continuous onslaught completely enveloped Kal.
Bang! Bang! Bang——!
His attacks covered every corner around Kal, and the attack trajectory was untraceable.
Every single one of his attacks carried incomparable strength, heavily hammering onto Kal's body.
Bang!
The moment Darkseid attacked once more, Kal suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his arm.
"Have you hit enough? It is my turn."
Kal suddenly swung Darkseid hard, instantly slamming Darkseid toward the ground.
Bang!
With a booming explosion, the ground shattered and the hills shook.
Kal stepped forward to grab Darkseid by the neck, slamming a heavy knee strike right into him.
Watching Darkseid's body drift toward outer space.
Kal caught up once more, thousands of attacks per second pouring crazily onto Darkseid's tall body.
Bang! Bang! Bang——!
Fresh blood drifted out, only to be instantly shattered by the aftermath of their clash.
Suddenly, Darkseid forcibly endured the injuries on his body, grabbing Kal's shoulders and pushing him toward Earth.
Their speed almost reached the speed of light, shooting toward Earth like a beam of morning light.
Bang!
With an earth-shattering loud noise, Kal was pushed by Darkseid and heavily smashed into the vast Great Basin Desert.
The Great Basin Desert shook instantly, and the powerful aftermath blew the yellow sand away, forming a terrifying sandstorm.
"Goodness!"
Whether it was the Earth Allied Forces or the Apokolipsarmy, both were shocked by this heaven-shaking mighty force.
The yellow sand blotted out the sun and sky, and the sky also darkened.
Kal and Darkseid continued to collide in mid-air, two dazzling lights constantly crashing and intersecting in mid-air.
The figures of the two could not be captured at all.
Desaad completely lost his patience, turning around to face the New Gods members.
"Kill all the resistors of Earth, and clear away all obstacles for Darkseid."
Several New Gods members immediately took the order and left the spaceship.
The sudden appearance of Granny Goodness, the demon Wantaba, Big Barda, and Lashina instantly brought massive casualties to the Earth Allied Forces.
A casual strike from them could easily destroy human steel weapons, and the fighter jets roaring in the sky had no power to resist in their hands either.
The demon Wantaba suddenly leaped high, instantly landing among the cluster of human tanks.
He excitedly clenched his fists and smashed them toward the tanks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tanks were smashed flat, and he grabbed the barrel of a tank, throwing it hard toward the distant sky.
A fighter jet completely failed to dodge in time, instantly crashing into the tank wreckage flying toward it.
Bang!
The fighter jet was swallowed by the flames of the explosion, turning into countless pieces of steel wreckage falling to the ground.
Granny Goodness casually waved the scepter in her hand, and black magical energy continuously shot toward the allied forces.
Every single attack could trigger an explosion.
Big Barda and Lashina completely relied on their powerful bodies to rampage through the allied forces, and wherever they passed, the allied forces' formation was completely scattered.
Billy looked at this cruel battlefield and suddenly froze.
Is this war?
Bang!
With a loud bang, Billy flew backward instantly, his body embedded into the ground, and the sharp pain in his chest made Billy wake up.
Watching Big Barda chasing over once more, he suddenly stretched out his hands, and a bolt of lightning instantly shot out fiercely.
Bang!
Big Barda's body suddenly stiffened.
"Ya!"
Billy roared loudly to cheer himself up, instantly cutting through the air, and landed a heavy punch right on Big Barda's face.
Bang! Bang!
Big Barda flew backward, knocking over a large area of Parademons, and green blood sprinkled down from the sky.
"Sorry!"
On the other side, Granny Goodness was casting magic among the allied forces when Black Adam rushed over with powerful current wrapping around his entire body.
He stopped in mid-air, and a streak of black lightning shot out instantly.
Bang!
The devastating lightning instantly struck Granny Goodness's body.
"Ah!"
Granny Goodness was blown away by the lightning and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Earth's magic?"
Black Adam did not waste any words, instantly flashing forward to charge up.
Bang!
The moment they exchanged blows, Granny Goodness felt Black Adam's powerful physical strength.
This completely did not look like something a mage should have.
Her body flew backward once more, and a large area of Parademons shattered in mid-air.
She steadied her body, raised the scepter in her hand toward Black Adam, and chanted an unknown incantation in her mouth.
An invisible magical power immediately spread outward.
Black Adam suddenly fell into a trance, as if he had returned to Kahndaq thousands of years ago.
The figures of his family suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Surrender to Darkseid, and our family will be granted a new life."
Black Adam's eyes suddenly turned into chaos, and his arms gradually lowered.
Granny Goodness laughed out loud.
"Hahaha!"
Black Adam opened his eyes once more, and his eyes had already turned into a blurry black.
He suddenly raised his head, and a powerful aura of destruction emanated from his body.
Lightning flashed and thunder rolled.
Granny Goodness suddenly noticed the continuously falling Apokolips spaceships in the distance and Clarkrushing over, pointing the scepter in her hand forward.
"Kill him!"
Black Adam expressionlessly rushed toward Clark like lightning.
Bang!
The two heavily collided together, stepping back slightly, and the powerful aftermath overturned the surrounding Parademons and humans.
Clark instantly rushed into mid-air, turning into a stream of light and speeding away.
Black Adam closely followed behind, being led away from this battlefield by Clark.
When Clark stopped his figure, he had already appeared behind the Apokolips army.
"We fight here!"
Black Adam did not care about the Parademon soldiers and spaceships of Apokolips; the order he received was to kill the Kryptonian before him.
Bang!
The two fought together once more, every move and style carrying devastating power.
The surrounding Apokolips spaceships were also successively affected by the two's battle, losing control and crashing.
Countless Parademons were burned into black ash by Clark's Heat Vision and Black Adam's destructive lightning.
Patch after patch of Parademon soldiers died, and countless Apokolips spaceships crashed.
Granny Goodness, who had followed along, saw this scene, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.
Just as she was about to wave her scepter again, a sharp pain suddenly came from her body.
Puchi!
She slowly lowered her head, a section of blood-stained sword tip protruding through her chest.
Zzz!
The heroic Diana pulled out the holy sword in her hand, shaking off the blood blossoms on the blade.
"Let me teach you a lesson, do not get distracted on the battlefield."
Chapter 83: War in Progress
Granny Goodness turned around with difficulty and looked at Diana behind her.
"You... are a descendant of the Old Gods."
"This has nothing to do with you!"
Diana swung her sword again, cutting across Granny Goodness's neck like lightning.
A large amount of blood splashed on the ground, and Granny Goodness's head flew far away.
At this moment, Black Adam, who was fighting Clark, suddenly regained consciousness, but Clark suddenly grabbed his body and threw him at the Parademonslunging from the side.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He uncontrollably crashed into one Parademon after another, his body covered in green mucus.
The blackness in his eyes disappeared, and he expressionlessly glanced at Clark.
Crackle!
Lightning emerged on the surface of his body, evaporating the disgusting green blood.
The angry Black Adam suddenly turned around, and lightning shot out from his palms, spreading outward on the Parademons like a spider web.
Boom! Boom! Boom——!
Countless Parademons were instantly wiped out by the lightning, turning into flying ash and dissipating.
Seeing that Black Adam had regained consciousness, Clarkstopped attacking as well.
The Heat Vision in his eyes erupted with full force.
He turned his head slightly, and his Heat Vision swept across the battlefield like a giant sword spanning heaven and earth.
Dense clusters of Parademons fell like harvested wheat.
Their bodies were neatly separated, and the cuts were thoroughly burned black.
Diana didn't stay either, entering the fierce battlefield once more.
Suddenly, she saw a figure wearing a combat suit surrounded by Parademons.
Diana instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters and rushed over, all the Parademons along the way being decapitated.
"Hey, Wonder Woman, I'm Harley Quinn."
Diana smiled and nodded.
"You're not bad."
Before Harley Quinn could reply, Diana flashed away again.
The scenery around her receded wildly as she sprinted continuously across the battlefield, the Parademon soldiers in her wake constantly turning into severed limbs and broken arms.
At this moment, she noticed that Lashina in the distance was rampaging through the allied forces.
Countless Amazon Warriors were knocked down in disarray.
Boom!
She quickly rushed in front of Lashina and met her head-on.
"Your opponent is me."
Diana holding the holy sword suddenly vanished, and the next moment she appeared beside Lashina, a fierce sword light slashing towards Lashina's neck.
At the critical moment, Lashina suddenly leaned backward, her body almost parallel to the ground.
The holy sword gleaming with a cold light grazed past her face.
Diana was about to continue her attack when her arm was kicked by Lashina.
"Descendant of the Old Gods?"
Lashina's eyes flashed with cold light.
On the other side, the tall body of the demon Wantabarampaged through the human tank phalanx, dense bullets and shells continuously firing at Wantaba's tall body.
But this fierce artillery fire failed to cause effective damage to Wantaba.
Roar!
"Earthlings, you are too weak!"
He casually picked up a tank, roaring loudly, the muscles on his arms bulging high.
"Roar!"
He suddenly exerted force, and the steel tank was instantly torn in half by Wantaba.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The soldiers inside were thrown flying along with the scattered steel parts.
Rick Flag, who was holding a Gatling machine gun and shooting continuously, suddenly stopped his actions as an order came through his earpiece.
He turned to look at the surrounding Task Force Xmembers.
"A powerful demon has appeared in the military's tank unit; we must go stop it."
Under his leadership, the members of Task Force X began to shift their battle lines.
Parademons lunged forward again, and El Diablo suddenly extended both hands, two huge pillars of fire engulfing the group of following Parademons.
"Harley Quinn, stop playing around and move quickly."
Rick Flag shouted, turning to look at Harley Quinn in the distance who was continuously slaughtering Parademonswith plasma rays.
"Okay, I'm coming over."
Harley Quinn suddenly jumped up, leaping consecutively with the help of her combat suit, crossing a hundred-meter distance in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go!"
Dr. Sivana casually released lightning to blast a group of Parademons away, looking at the Seven Deadly Sins Demons ravaging the battlefield.
"We need to change the battlefield."
The Seven Deadly Sins Demons didn't talk nonsense and instantly turned into clumps of earthy-yellow smoke, drilling into Sivana's body.
"These aliens are so weak, but unfortunately they don't taste good."
"In front of us Seven Deadly Sins Demons, any aliens are not worth mentioning."
Pride hadn't suffered a severe beating in a long time and reverted to its nature once again.
Sivana let them amuse themselves in his mind and didn't mention Superman to dampen their enthusiasm.
His figure instantly slashed through the air and appeared beside Task Force X.
Rick Flag's eyes lit up as he looked at Sivana, who was hovering in mid-air and casually blowing up a Parademon with a bolt of lightning.
With him coming over, we have even more certainty!
"An Apokolips demon has appeared at the tank position; it is very powerful, and the military wants us to hold it back."
Sivana nodded.
"I'll head over first."
He immediately turned and flew toward the rear, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Harley Quinn, wearing the Black Manta combat suit, was not one to stay idle either.
"I'm going too."
She immediately strode forward, continuously leaping with the help of her combat suit, each leap covering a distance of more than a dozen meters.
Plasma rays continuously shot from her eyes, turning Parademon after Parademon into green blood mist.
"I, Harley Quinn, am also a superhero, and they call me Harley Quinn?"
"No way, no way, this moniker is so low-class."
"Little beauty? Uh..."
She stopped thinking about it and just as she was about to fly into the sky, she noticed the overwhelming swarm of Parademons.
Forget it, too dangerous!
Neigh!
An Amazon Warrior holding a bow and arrow was pounced on and knocked off her warhorse by a Parademon.
Harley Quinn suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the ugly Parademon, and pinned its two arms.
The Parademon's body was fixed in mid-air.
The Parademon struggled and roared, continuously snarling at Harley Quinn.
"Sweetheart, I hate it most when someone roars at me, you're in for it!"
The two big red eyes of Black Manta lit up.
Whoosh——Boom!
Two red plasma rays shot from her eyes, and the Parademon in her hand instantly stopped struggling.
Its head was instantly blown to pieces, leaving only charred blackness on its shoulders.
Casually tossing aside the corpse in her hand, Harley Quinn turned her head and pulled up the female warrior on the ground.
"You're welcome!"
...
Bruce was piloting Kal-El's Krypton fighter, firing energy cannons continuously at the Apokolips spaceship.
As Krypton, a civilization in the universe as renowned as Apokolips, its combat fighters could naturally easily breach Apokolips's protective shield.
Bruce was very excited, piloting the fighter to continuously maneuver and dogfight with the Apokolips spaceships.
Several Apokolips spaceships suddenly appeared behind him, and Bruce immediately manipulated his fighter to evade.
The fighter continuously rolled and spiraled in the air, dodging the dense energy cannons from the spaceships behind.
He suddenly pulled up, and the fighter climbed rapidly.
With a 360-degree roll, the fighter successfully came to the rear of the Apokolips army.
Boom boom boom!
Energy cannons continuously fired from the main muzzle of the fighter, successfully hitting the spaceships ahead.
Sounds of explosions rang out continuously, and the Apokolips spaceships ahead lit up with flames, plummeting toward the ground with billows of thick smoke.
Aquaman held the golden trident in his hand, leading Atlantis and several major ocean kingdoms in fierce combat against the Apokolips Parademons.
He powerfully threw the trident in his hand, and the trident transformed into a thunderbolt, stringing several Parademons' bodies together like lightning!
Cyborg was at the rear of the battlefield; he hacked into the military's computers and activated a large number of drones.
The drone swarm carried countless small missiles and high-powered machine guns, firing continuously.
Under Cyborg's control, they became countless steel soldiers, firing frantically at the Parademon army.
Chapter 84: Finale
High above the sky.
Kal kicked Darkseid away with a front kick and looked at the battlefield within hundreds of thousands of miles below.
The sky was dyed blood-red, and the soaring killing intent pierced through the clouds.
The battlefield below remained chaotic, ruthlessly annihilating all life.
At this moment, all life was fragile, and someone could die at any moment.
Dense crowds of soldiers and the Parademons army engaged in fierce gunfire, with artillery fire roaring endlessly.
Snap!
It began to rain in the sky, washing away the blood stains on the ground.
The blood gradually converged, and the green blood and red blood formed a rushing river of blood.
Looking at this cruel battlefield, Kal suddenly made up his mind.
Darkseid had to be resolved, otherwise there was no knowing how long this war would drag on.
Darkseid also appeared again not far away.
He noticed Kal's abnormality.
"This is war, this is the charm of war, filled with bloodshed and sacrifice."
His tone was very calm, not caring at all about the casualties of his subordinate army.
But Kal cared.
Kal quietly looked at Darkseid in front of him, and a layer of golden energy gradually appeared on the surface of his body, turning into electric snakes entwining around Kal's body.
Darkseid was also prepared.
This blow would be the most powerful blow between them.
Either one party failed, or both suffered losses.
The eyes of the two began to change color.
Kal completely stirred up the energy deep within his body that had once been tightly compressed by Kryptonite.
That was the most powerful strength.
Like a volcanic eruption, that energy kept gushing out from the crater.
Kal's body seemed to have become a vent, and the huge explosive force filled Kal's body.
This explosive force even gave Kal a desire to shatter heaven and earth.
Darkseid also felt Kal's sense of oppression, but as a New God of the Fourth World, he naturally wouldn't be that simple either.
Seeing that wisps of black flames gradually appeared on the surface of his body, a rich aura of destruction emanated from him.
The sky was dyed into two colors by Kal and Darkseid.
One side was scorching gold, and the other side was piercing black.
The sky was obscured by the huge energy of the two, and the entire sky completely turned into the domain of the two.
"Kal."
Diana turned her head to look at the sky, knowing that the decisive battle between Kal and Darkseid was about to yield a result.
The fate of the Earth was completely pinned on Kal alone.
"Superman, you must win!"
The coalition forces of the entire battlefield looked at the battlefield in the sky, and the offensive of the Apokolipsside gradually leveled off.
Everyone was waiting for the result of the decisive battle in the sky.
Leaders of various countries were also paying attention to this final battle through satellites.
"The moment to determine the destiny of mankind has arrived!"
Trump took the Superman figure beside him and prayed silently.
In Gotham City, clown also quieted down and looked at the discolored sky.
All humanity was praying for Superman.
At this moment, Kal completely became the light of hope for Earth.
The golden light in the sky was more dazzling, and the darkness was deeper.
Kal's eyes completely turned into scarlet gold, and in Darkseid's eyes, the flowing dark breath was even richer.
Strong winds blew, the wind and clouds changed color, and Kal and Darkseid rushed towards each other simultaneously.
Bang!!!
The sky lost its voice for it, and everything quieted down.
Bruce in the spaceship only saw two flashes of lightning across the sky, and the figures of the two had already disappeared.
Kal and Darkseid crashed into each other fiercely at a speed exceeding the speed of light.
Their fists collided, and a powerful force erupted violently.
Bang!
The space at the center point of the collision suddenly twisted, and cracks appeared in the surrounding sky.
Snap!
With a loud explosion, like a mirror being broken, the surrounding space was completely shattered.
A trace of deep black appeared in the sky.
The whole world seemed to have heard this crisp sound.
Kal's strength kept weakening, and blood kept overflowing from his mouth.
A cluster of blood suddenly burst open on Darkseid's chest.
Before the two could react, a strong suction instantly came from the shattered space, and their bodies kept spinning and were sucked into that unknown space.
"Ah!"
Kal suddenly stabilized his body and flew outward with all his might.
But in front of that terrifying suction, he could not break free, and his body suspended in mid-air was constantly pulled towards the black hole by the suction.
"Kal!"
Diana's shout came, shaking off Lashina, turning into a stream of light and flying towards Kal.
"Don't come over!"
Kal shouted suddenly, trying his best to stabilize his figure.
Diana stopped in mid-air, her eyes filled with tears.
She took out her lasso of truth, wanting to pull Kal.
Kal shook his head, stopping Diana's action.
This suction would also pull Diana over.
Suddenly his body sank, and Darkseid grabbed Kal's legs.
Wanting to use Kal to get rid of that terrifying suction.
Kal looked at Diana in the distance and suddenly showed a smile.
"I will be back! Wait for me!"
Woo—Bang—!
The shattered space was constantly repaired, and the suction became stronger and stronger.
The space returned to completeness again, and the figures of Kal and Darkseid also disappeared in mid-air, completely swept into that unknown space.
The sky finally returned to peace, as if the terrifying black hole just now had never appeared.
"Kal!"
"Kal!"
"Superman!"
Clark also noticed the scene happening in the sky.
His sanity had been broken by anger, and he suddenly reached forward and grabbed Wantaba's incoming fist.
"Ah!"
He roared and grabbed the other arm of the demon Wantaba again.
"No!"
"Ah!"
Wantaba's body was gradually torn apart by this huge force, and dense cracks appeared on his body.
Bang!
With a final explosion, the demon Wantaba's huge body was instantly torn in half.
Blood and internal organs poured onto Clark's body like rain.
Dr. Sivana, holding his chest on the side, looked at the berserk Clark in shock.
"Apart from that Black Superman, Earth actually has such a powerful person."
Harley Quinn, whose Black Manta helmet was broken, also struggled to stand up.
She turned her head to look at the sky that had now calmed down.
"Superman, I haven't taken revenge for my imprisonment yet?"
The black hole in the sky had disappeared, and the Earth coalition forces launched a final counterattack under Superman's sacrifice.
Desaad realized something was wrong as soon as he saw Darkseid and Superman get swept into the black hole together.
"Retreat, and wait for Darkseid's return!"
He ordered in a deep voice, and the remaining spaceships started immediately. Big Barda and Lashina had already returned to the flagship.
Clark fell into complete madness, chasing the remnant army of Apokolips and ruthlessly slaughtering them, with Heat Vision sweeping constantly.
Woo—Bang—!
Countless spaceships fell, but the remaining spaceships still flew towards outer space.
"Turn on the faster-than-light engine and perform space jump!"
Spaceships disappeared into space one after another, and Desaad ordered in a deep voice on the flagship while looking at Clark chasing from behind.
"Fire!"
Bang!
The main ship's cannon muzzle, which had finished charging, instantly fired a blue energy cannon.
It shot straight to Clark's front in an instant.
Bang!
A powerful destructive energy instantly pushed Clarkdown towards Earth.
Clark fell from the sky like a meteorite descending from the heavens.
Bang!
A giant pit appeared on the edge of the desert, and Clark's figure quietly lay at the bottom of the pit.
His body had already become chapped.
"Cough cough!"
He struggled to stand up, looking unwillingly at the rapidly departing Apokolips fleet.
The sun shone down, and Clark's body began to gradually recover.
"We won!"
Bruce walked down from the Krypton spaceship, looking at The Flash and the others in front of him.
"Yes, we won, but we also lost."
"We lost Superman Kal!"
The gaze of several people turned to Diana in the distance, who was blankly looking at the high sky.
Bruce and the others came to Diana's side.
"No one wanted this to happen, please accept your condolences."
Diana reached out to wipe away her tears, forcing a slight smile.
"He won't die, I believe that one day he will return."
Chapter 85: They Call Me Superman
"Where… am I?"
Kal rose from the ground, above which was a low hill.
Bang!
Kal leaped out of the large crater and looked out; all around was a vast expanse of yellow.
The earth-yellow land and the warm sun shone upon his body.
The injuries on his body had already recovered.
Kal hovered into the air and suddenly flew high up into the sky.
The ground kept shrinking, his field of vision rapidly rising, and the outline of the American continent gradually came into view.
Kal didn't stop, raising his head to continue flying higher into the sky.
Passing through the atmosphere, he continued to ascend.
The air content decreased rapidly until it completely vanished.
Kal stood quietly in space, feeling that familiar sun.
He spread his arms, letting the sun shine upon his body.
After a long while, Kal felt that he had returned to his peak.
Turning around, a familiar planet was quietly floating in space.
The familiar continental map, the familiar sun.
Kal knew he was still in the Solar System.
But clearly having been sucked into a black hole, why was he still on Earth now?
Bang!
Kal turned into a streak of light, fiercely shooting toward Earth and entering the familiar American continent.
United States, New York, Manhattan!
Everything here was so familiar, yet it seemed as though everything was somewhat different.
In the Upper East Side, Manhattan, El Manor had also vanished.
Wearing casual clothes, Kal walked leisurely down the streets of Manhattan.
The bustling traffic and the mortal hustle and bustle calmed Kal down after he had just experienced a major battle.
When Kal stopped, before him was a towering building.
Stark Industries.
He hadn't expected to arrive in this world just like that; Darkseid probably wasn't dead either.
He just didn't know how things were back in the original universe. Had the war ended?
What was Diana doing right now?
Shaking his head slightly, he stopped thinking about it.
Right now, he should get some money first; this set of clothes was actually casually borrowed.
Kal turned around and headed straight for a bank.
After sitting in the bank for just a moment, Kal got up and left again.
Turning a corner, several masked men suddenly surrounded him.
"Kid, hand over your money."
Kal smiled slightly.
"Why are people like you endless no matter how many are caught?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
When Kal left the alley, several robbers were already lying on the ground fast asleep.
Kal weighed the US dollars in his hand; combined, the few of them only had a meager thousand or so dollars!
Still, it didn't matter.
Casually picking up one of the robber's phones, he dialed the police emergency number.
"I want to report a crime…"
"…"
After reporting his location, Kal casually tossed away the phone in his hand.
The first step upon arriving in this world would start with fighting crime.
Thus, the American gangs were subsequently surprised to find that whenever night fell, there would be a figure wearing a black combat suit wandering through the city.
Countless criminals ran right into the barrel of a gun; when the police arrived, what they saw was a group of men sleeping on the ground.
"He is very powerful. I suspect he has an invulnerable body; our bullets are completely useless against him."
"Yeah, he's simply Superman."
The reporter shook his head; it looked like two more had gone crazy.
The gangs wailed under Kal's blows, but ordinary citizens simply regarded Kal as a vigilante.
News of Kal was only widely circulated among a group of criminals.
Meanwhile, at the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
In front of Nick Fury was a blurry video footage.
A figure wearing a black combat suit defeated a terrorist organization conducting an arms deal within a few seconds.
Sparks constantly burst from his body under the muzzle of guns; the dense hail of bullets had no effect on him whatsoever.
His speed was like teleportation, able to flash instantly to the enemy's side.
The ferocious terrorists in his hands were like oversized stuffed toys, casually tossed dozens of meters away by him.
Even thick reinforced concrete walls couldn't stop a single punch from him, shattering explosively under his attack.
A rocket-propelled grenade exploded right in front of him, yet his body remained completely motionless.
The video abruptly cut off.
Nick Fury took off his eyepatch slightly, trying to see more clearly.
"Oh, I'm even willing to believe he really is Superman."
Coulson also nodded.
"It really is hard to believe, but he indeed doesn't look like a human."
"Additionally, he seems to be the person who crashed into the desert some time ago!"
"Agent Coulson, I need you to find him."
"I will."
Coulson smiled slightly, full of confidence.
As the most outstanding field agent of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, he was confident he could find this Superman.
It seemed this superhero had always been dedicated to fighting crime, so he shouldn't be too hard to get along with.
Nor did he need to worry about being blown to pieces by a single punch.
Three days later, Tony Stark was attacked by terrorists on his way to sell weapons.
Kal was eating in his room when he noticed the news of Tony Stark's disappearance, and suddenly an idea struck him.
Superman needed the world to re-recognize him.
In an unknown cave in Afghanistan.
Tony Stark was constantly hammering and beating away.
Yinsen was nearby providing cover for him.
"I hope this thing of yours comes in handy."
Yinsen spoke softly.
Tony Stark glanced at Yinsen.
"Let's hope so, otherwise we're screwed!"
Members of the Ten Rings patrolled back and forth outside the cave, waiting for the missiles manufactured by Tony Stark.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Kal, wearing a black combat suit, suddenly descended from the sky.
"Who goes there?"
Ten Rings members immediately surrounded him with guns drawn.
"You guys are about to be done for, so you don't need to listen anymore!"
"Take him down!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang——!
Bullets shot forth, a dense hail of gunfire instantly enveloping Kal's figure as sparks continuously bloomed on his body.
Kal remained unmoved, his eyes turning a brilliant crimson.
Heat Vision!
Boom!
Two high-temperature rays suddenly shot straight out, instantly melting the terrorists directly in front.
Kal did not stop; his Heat Vision continued to sweep across.
The high-temperature ray swept across a group of terrorists' bodies, swiftly cutting their bodies into neat halves.
Many gang members who failed to dodge in time were cut in half at the waist by the Heat Vision, their shrill wails resounding outside the cave.
"Argh!"
"Hurry and dodge!"
"Devil…"
The remaining gang members began to scatter and dodge, but their firepower became even more ferocious.
"Kill him!"
Swoosh, swoosh!
Two rocket-propelled grenades suddenly tore through the air, roaring toward Kal.
Kal suddenly extended his finger, gently flicking the warheads and casually altering their direction.
The two rockets immediately returned along their original path.
Several Ten Rings members stared blankly at the incoming rockets.
Bang! Bang!
Two massive explosions resounded in the night sky, the soaring flames illuminating the area outside the cave as bright as day.
Inside the cave, Tony Stark looked at Yinsen.
"What's happening outside?"
Yinsen looked at Tony Stark in front of him and shook his head.
"I've been staying with you the whole time; do you think I'd know what's going on?"
Tony slapped his forehead.
"Sorry, I think we should go out and take a look; someone might have come to rescue us."
Tony Stark casually put down the hammer in his hand and walked toward the outside of the cave.
Yinsen hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait, what if there's no rescue?"
Tony looked somewhat surprised.
"I just want to go outside to pee!"
"An elementary schooler's trick; hopefully those ferocious teachers outside won't mind."
They walked through the cave, yet didn't find the soldiers who usually guarded it.
Just as they were about to turn the cave corner, two armed gang members flew backward, crashing heavily against the stone wall beside the cave.
Pfft!
Blood was shaken out of their mouths and noses, and the two ferocious terrorists died instantly.
Tony and Yinsen exchanged glances.
"Still going out?"
As soon as they stepped out of the cave, Tony saw a man wearing a black combat suit quietly hovering in midair, his cape fluttering slowly behind him.
"Who are you?"
Bang!
Kal suddenly landed, turning his head with a smile.
"They call me Superman!"
Chapter 86: The Braised Egg in the Dark
"Superman? You mean that spandex-clad warrior who's been running around fighting crime lately?"
Kal-El's expression suddenly stiffened.
Tony Stark looked at Kal-El's black battle suit.
"Still, it looks pretty cool!"
"Thanks!"
Kal-El remained expressionless.
"Anyway, thank you for coming to rescue us."
Kal-El thought of Tony's armor.
"You need to leave as soon as possible; your disappearance has already drawn a lot of attention from the outside world."
"Wait a second, my armor is still in the cave."
Tony crawled into the cave, looking at his almost-finished first-generation armor.
"Can you destroy it?"
"That's easy!"
Kal-El nodded abruptly, and his eyes instantly turned glowing red.
Boom!
Two streams of high-temperature heat rays suddenly shot out.
In less than a moment, the iron armor was completely melted by the rays.
"I can't believe my armor is so vulnerable!"
Tony Stark was somewhat disappointed.
Leaving the cave, Kal-El suddenly grabbed both of their shoulders.
"Are you ready?"
"Wait, you're not planning to take us back to America like this, are you?"
Kal-El let out a chuckle.
"Of course!"
Bang!
Kal-El carried the two of them and instantly shot up into the sky, making a sudden turn mid-air to fly toward New York.
The figures of the three pierced through the air, flying across the sky at extreme speed.
"I can't believe I'm flying in the sky!"
Yinsen exclaimed.
"Why don't I feel any air resistance?"
Tony Stark could no longer suppress his scientific research urges.
"This is my unique Bio-electric Field."
"Fine!"
Tony was a bit disappointed; it seemed this was a unique ability.
Their figures swiftly crossed the mountains and rivers below, the scenery retreating at blinding speed.
"We're here!"
Kal-El stopped his body, bringing Tony Stark and Yinsen down toward Stark Tower.
Tony turned to look at Kal-El.
"Want to come in for a drink?"
"Next time, someone is waiting for you!"
Kal-El politely declined, instantly shooting away horizontally into the distance, turning into a tiny black speck in the blink of an eye.
Tony looked at Yinsen.
"His speed has already surpassed the fastest missile on Earth. That is so cool!"
Yinsen nodded.
"I can't believe a human could have such speed."
"Tony!"
Pepper appeared on the top floor and immediately walked toward Tony.
"Why did you suddenly show up here?"
Tony smiled and let go of Pepper Potts.
"A superhero in a spandex suit saved me."
He turned to look at Yinsen.
"This is Dr. Yinsen, a friend who was kidnapped with me."
Pepper briefly greeted Yinsen.
"Who was the superhero that saved you two?"
"He said he was Superman!"
...
A few days later, Kal-El leisurely walked into Stark Tower.
Tony was visibly surprised to see Kal-El in casual clothes.
"You're not wearing your spandex suit?"
Kal-El smiled slightly.
"Superheroes don't wear their battle suits all the time."
"That would be a bit silly!"
Tony Stark handed over a glass of wine.
"Let's officially introduce ourselves!"
He turned and motioned for Kal-El to look at the building.
"As you can see, I am Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries, a promising young billionaire, a playboy, and a genius scientist."
Kal-El shook his head and laughed.
"Your self-introduction uses almost every positive adjective out there."
Kal-El sat on the sofa, looking at Tony Stark opposite him.
"I am Kal-El, a Kryptonian from another universe. They call me Superman."
"Wait, you mean you're not human, but an alien from another universe?"
Tony Stark caught the main point.
Kal-El nodded.
"Good god, this world is getting crazier and crazier. I never expected my savior to be an alien."
He stood up and raised a finger.
"But none of that matters. I don't care whether my savior is an alien or an earthling."
He handed over a paper contract detailing Tony Stark's transfer of Stark shares.
Ten percent.
Kal-El was unmoved.
"You know superheroes generally don't ask for rewards for saving people."
Tony smiled.
"Of course, but this is my personal way of expressing gratitude. Nothing shows my thanks better than money."
"I don't know how much longer I have to live, so I don't want to owe anyone favors!"
Kal-El fell silent for a moment.
"Is that an Arc Reactor on your chest? It seems there's still shrapnel near your heart?"
Tony immediately sat up straight.
"You can see it?"
"I have X-ray vision."
"Then..."
Tony Stark's expression turned peculiar.
Kal-El also noticed something.
"Rest assured, I have no interest in prying into other people's privacy."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
"While the reactor on your chest can prolong your life, it is also eroding it."
"I know, so I want to use the last of my life to do something."
"Like shutting down Stark's weapons division."
Kal-El nodded.
"That's what you should do."
"Actually, you can try to invent a new element to replace the palladium in your chest."
Tony suddenly froze.
"A new element?"
"Your father, Howard Stark, has already left you clues. He discovered the new element a long time ago, but was limited by the era and couldn't extract it."
"But I believe you can!"
The desire for life was reignited in Tony's eyes.
"How do you know?"
Kal-El smiled mysteriously.
"I've looked into your father's research; he was a great scientist."
Tony immediately got up and left.
"Thanks. Once I solve this damn palladium issue, I'll properly treat you to a drink."
"Also, remember to sign your name on the contract; I'll handle the rest."
Kal-El shook his head; actually, he wasn't interested in money.
Forget it, coming to this world, Kal-El didn't want to start any companies either.
He casually signed his name on the contract.
As for his current identity issues in this world, Kal-Elbelieved Tony would handle them well.
That night, Kal-El returned to the rented house in Queens, pausing slightly outside the door.
Without hesitation, Kal-El opened the door directly.
The living room was pitch black, you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face.
If Kal-El were just an ordinary person, he definitely wouldn't have noticed the dark braised egg sitting on the sofa, blending into the darkness.
"Hello!"
The braised egg suddenly spoke up.
"If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'll sue you for trespassing!"
Kal-El showed not a shred of surprise and flipped the light switch.
A one-eyed man missing an eye sat quietly on the sofa.
He was somewhat surprised.
This trick of his had always worked without fail, using his camouflage to blend silently into the darkness. This was the first time someone was able to spot him.
"You're practically like a prankster child, just doing it to scare people."
The braised egg's face turned even darker.
"I am Nick Fury, Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
Kal-El shook his head.
"The name's too long, sounds like some third-rate organization."
Nick Fury also nodded in agreement.
"That's a good suggestion, we're considering changing our name."
"All joking aside, Superman's records on Earth are completely blank. I just wanted to understand your origins, I have no malice toward you."
Kal-El didn't hide anything either.
"I come from another universe, or rather, a parallel universe, and just happened to arrive here due to some coincidence."
"Likewise, I have no malice toward this place."
"Even if I did have malice, no one would be able to stop me!"
