She suddenly lost interest in defeating such an enemy.
It was just a naive girl with no combat experience whatsoever.
Defeating her would not showcase her valor as an Amazon warrior.
"Is that so? Then what does your lying here prove?"
Many thoughts flashed through Wonder Woman's mind, but in reality, only a moment had passed. Her Vulcan Sword moved a little closer to the other party's neck, and she asked her.
"It proves that my current ability is still far from enough, and I lack experience. If you have the guts, don't use a shield and sword to fight me. Let's do it again with just our fists!"
Amy said, unconvinced.
Wonder Woman ignored her nonsense.
She pulled out the Lasso of Truth from her waist, preparing to bind Amy.
Just as the Lasso of Truth was about to touch Amy, it was stopped by a figure.
Clark arrived at the critical moment!
Seeing Wonder Woman about to make a move on Amy, he immediately hugged Amy and fled at the fastest speed.
Although he had been beaten badly by Eric, his body had not suffered fatal injuries, so he could quickly get up and stop Wonder Woman's movements.
Clark, holding Amy, had already planned his escape route.
Now, not only was he no match for Eric, but Amy was also no match for Wonder Woman. If the fight continued, Clark had already envisioned his tragic defeat.
So the best response now was to escape quickly!
Gordon and Harvey Bullock, who were observing the battle from a distance, looked at each other after seeing Clark defeated.
It's going to end so quickly?
And Superman failed so easily?
Gordon was about to say something to Harvey Bullock when his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed his daughter, Barbara.
"Dad, you're in front of the Gotham City Government right now, right?"
Barbara quickly asked her father.
"Yes, I'm on site, Barbara. The protesting crowd has been dispersed, but things haven't gotten better; instead, we've encountered a more difficult situation to handle."
Gordon replied to Barbara.
Gordon was very surprised to receive a call from his daughter.
Normally, Barbara rarely called him when he was working.
"What's the situation now? Superman is fighting Homelander. What are the specific circumstances? Who has the upper hand? Did Superman win?"
Barbara asked her father in an urgent, tense voice.
"Well, Superman's situation isn't looking good right now. He's preparing to escape, assuming he won't be dragged down by the girl he's carrying."
Gordon looked up at Clark.
At this moment, Clark was holding Amy and preparing to escape, but Eric had already blocked his path.
It seemed an all-out battle was unavoidable.
And Superman's plan to escape was completely foiled!
"You have to find a way to save Superman, Dad."
Barbara said to Gordon urgently.
"If Superman falls now, there really will be no one left to stop him!"
Barbara said to Gordon on the other end of the phone, "He is our side's only hope, and the only Kryptonian existence besides Homelander."
Her voice was urgent, filled with anxiety.
Gordon listened to his daughter's anxious voice on the phone, slowly pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
"Although I really want to help, I have to face a sad truth: even though I'm here, I can't decide anything. I'm an ordinary person and can't influence that level of battle."
Gordon's tone was calm, "I tried to negotiate with our President before, but he just lectured me, making me start to wonder if, as Gotham City's Police Commissioner, I bear the greatest responsibility for this city's corruption and depravity."
Barbara heard the sadness in her father's words and was about to say something when Gordon suddenly took out the potion Superman had given him earlier.
He slowly said to Barbara on the other end of the phone, "However, it's not entirely without hope."
Harvey Bullock, next to Gordon, was stunned when he saw his old friend suddenly pull out a red capsule.
"What is that, Commissioner?"
Harvey Bullock asked Gordon, puzzled.
"The chip to change the game!"
As he spoke, he slowly put the capsule into his mouth under Harvey Bullock's astonished gaze.
"You!"
Harvey Bullock's mouth opened even wider.
"You ate that pill, Commissioner!"
"Yes, Harvey Bullock, I swallowed it. No need to make a fuss."
After swallowing the medicine, Gordon felt the changes in his body.
He could clearly feel that the functions filling his body had become powerful.
His previously sickly and weak body became full of vitality.
He could feel earth-shattering changes in both strength and speed.
Gordon casually pulled out his pistol, took out a bullet from it, placed it in his palm, and then closed his fist, squeezing it hard.
Strength burst forth in an instant, and the bullet in Gordon's palm was deformed by his grip.
"Oh my god!"
Harvey Bullock looked at the bullet in Gordon's palm in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"Don't tell me you've become a metahuman now?!"
"It seems so. No need to be surprised. Compared to being a metahuman, I care more about my identity as Commissioner."
Gordon shrugged and said to his old friend.
On the other side, Flash had already sent the Golden-haired young man to the hospital.
Standing in the hospital corridor, Barry looked at the Golden-haired young man being rescued in the ward, his emotions somewhat complex.
He didn't know if his actions were correct.
He supported Eric, but he also didn't want to see more people injured or dead.
"Flash?"
While Barry was in a daze, a voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw a woman in a white lab coat standing behind him.
The brown-skinned woman wore a white lab coat over a light green Fair Isle patterned sweater, with highly recognizable Nordic geometric patterns that were simple yet not monotonous, exquisite yet individual, perfectly complementing her capable and refined demeanor.
The woman gave Barry a polite smile.
"Hello, Flash, it's a pleasure to meet you here."
"Ah, you... hello!"
After coming back to his senses, Barry quickly shook hands with the other party.
He hadn't expected anyone at the hospital to recognize him.
And, his Flash moniker shouldn't have spread, right?
His current fame might not even be as good as Bart's!
Why did this woman in front of him recognize him?
A big question mark appeared above Barry's head.
Although he wanted to ask, he ultimately held back.
It's best not to ask questions so abruptly.
He told himself in his mind.
"I am Dr. Norris from the Frontier Science and Genetics Lab. The lab's headquarters are in Canberra, but it also has a branch lab in Central City, and it has a close cooperative relationship with S.T.A.R. Labs. By the way, Dr. Harrison Wells, the head of S.T.A.R. Labs, and I are old friends. We used to work together, but that was a long time ago."
Dr. Norris introduced herself and her relationship with Dr. Wells to Barry.
"So, I know about the particle accelerator explosion that happened a few months ago. That accident was very unfortunate; S.T.A.R. Labs lost a lot. But I also know that that accident gave birth to the fastest person in the world. You were given unparalleled speed. Perhaps you are the angel sent by God to protect that city!"
Dr. Norris gave Barry a very high evaluation.
"Thank you for your praise, Dr. Norris. I... I truly hope to become the kind of person you describe."
Barry said, a little embarrassed.
"The future is created by people, so there are countless possibilities, aren't there? Oh, right."
Dr. Norris quickly changed the subject and asked Barry, "Did you bring Sunstar Hero to the hospital?"
"Sunstar Hero?"
"The young man in the ward."
Dr. Norris pointed to the Golden-haired young man in the ward and said, "Sunstar Hero, real name Michael Davis."
"Sunstar Hero, huh?"
Barry looked into the ward and murmured, "What does Canxing mean?"
"I don't know, maybe he thinks the name is cool. We didn't choose him because of his creativity."
Dr. Norris gestured for Barry to come to her office to talk.
She knew many friends at this hospital, so she could borrow an office.
"Then why was he chosen?"
As the two walked down the corridor, Barry, following behind Dr. Norris, was silent for a moment before asking her.
"Why? He's very suitable and capable. He won't incessantly ask questions, and most importantly, he's willing to give everything to become a superhero."
"You should go see where he lives; that place will definitely surprise you!"
Dr. Norris said to Barry, "He's a superhero fan. Superman, Homelander, Batman—his walls are covered with superhero posters. Of course, there's your poster too. Weren't you widely reported by the media for saving a bus that was about to fall into a lake? He definitely noticed that news."
Dr. Norris mentioned Barry's previous rescue of a bus that had fallen into a lake.
The car broke through the guardrail and plunged from the bridge. Barry used his super speed at the moment the car went over, successfully rescuing everyone.
"Everyone can be a hero, that's what you said, right? He's taken that phrase as his life motto!"
