"While I really want to go out and help, I'm afraid my abilities don't support me in doing so."
Harvey stated that he was just an ordinary person.
He then complained to Gordon, "Chief, didn't you just gain superpowers? Why are you silent now?"
Gordon glanced at the scene and said somewhat helplessly, "I'm more rational now."
"You mean you weren't rational just now?"
Harvey asked in surprise.
"For a moment."
Gordon shrugged and said, "I did have the thought of fighting Homelander just now, of course, that was before witnessing what's happening here. Now I'm very rational, and I know the gap between me and aliens. My superpowers are still more suitable for dealing with criminals, such as robbers or thieves."
"Then Chief, you made a wise choice."
Harvey Bullock said to Gordon, "If you really got involved, I'm afraid I'd immediately lose you as a good partner. If I had to adapt to a new partner, that would be a long process."
Gordon didn't speak, he glanced at Eric in the scene, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and slowly lit it.
He was completely dependent on cigarettes now.
Even though the doctor told him to quit smoking.
Eric, at the center of the battlefield, had completely suppressed Clark.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fists violently collided with flesh, and air currents gathered around the two like a storm.
Eric's punches were like continuously pounding a piece of aluminum alloy, forcing Clark to retreat repeatedly.
After taking several fatal punches to the face from Eric, Clark's Steel Body finally broke through its defenses.
His face was swollen and disfigured, nosebleeds flowed constantly, and the physical pain and intense anger continuously impacted Clark's mind.
This feeling kept him awake, preventing him from fainting.
He withdrew his gaze from the center of the battlefield, feeling the spicy stimulation of the cigarette's taste in his nostrils and mouth, Gordon sighed helplessly, and after a long while, said, "It'll happen sooner or later, getting used to it in advance isn't bad."
Harvey showed a puzzled expression, not knowing what Gordon meant by that sentence.
Before he could ask, Gordon took out his phone, preparing to call Barbara.
But after dialing Barbara's phone, he found that he couldn't connect at all.
He tried calling several times, but couldn't reach Barbara.
Their communication had been maintained just now, why couldn't he reach her now?
Putting down his phone, Gordon's brows furrowed.
"What happened?"
Harvey saw that his old partner's gaze was a bit off and asked him.
"Barbara's phone can't be reached. We were just talking, it's impossible to lose contact in such a short time."
Gordon gripped the phone tightly in his hand, the wrinkles on his forehead deepening.
He showed a worried expression and said, "I'm afraid something unexpected happened. No, I have to go to Barbara. I'll leave this to you, Harvey."
Gordon said as he prepared to leave.
"Now?"
Harvey glanced at Eric in the distance and the dying Clark, and said, "Now is not a good time."
"I know, but I can't just watch Barbara possibly be in danger and do nothing."
Gordon replied to Harvey.
He had not been there when his daughter faced danger once, which he regretted to this day.
Now he didn't want such a thing to happen again.
"As for the situation here now, I don't think I can still intervene. The fact is, I can't do anything, this is a battle between two aliens, you and I can only stand by and watch. And we both better pray Superman has good enough luck."
Gordon said to Harvey.
Meanwhile, Barbara was observing the situation at the scene with shock through Wayne Enterprises' satellite system.
The air explosions and ground collapses, seeing the immense destructive power caused by the two, she didn't know what expression to make.
Especially when she saw Eric suppressing Clark and giving him a good beating, she became even more silent.
It seemed that man was still unbeatable!
Did her side really have no chance of winning?
Would those Green Lanterns still appear?
What kind of weapon that could stop Homelander would the Green Lantern named "Guy," mentioned by Black Canary, bring from outer space?
Just as despair was spreading in her heart, her phone suddenly rang.
Barbara initially thought it was her father calling, but when she answered, she heard her mother's painful cries for help.
The tragic sound immediately stunned Barbara.
"Mother?"
She couldn't figure out what happened, not knowing why her mother would make such a miserable wailing sound.
"Mom, God, what happened, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Barbara asked the other end of the phone, her breathing rapid and tense.
Her legs were tightly tensed, and her other hand pressed tightly against the office desk, showing her extreme nervousness.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking rang out, followed by her mother's painful shouts: "Oh, no! No!"
It seemed her mother was suffering excruciating torment.
Barbara's hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly.
Unable to breathe, her heart was beating rapidly, and something seemed to be constantly throbbing from inside her temples, making her unable to think.
It was as if something was choking her, preventing her from taking any breath.
"Is this what a panic attack feels like?"
Lowering her head, Barbara's right hand squeezed the corner of the table, making a "creaking" sound.
"Mom! You must be alright!"
Whispering to herself, Barbara gave herself a psychological suggestion.
Calm down, Barbara Gordon, you must calm down, if you don't focus, you won't be able to help her.
Gasping for air, Barbara put the phone to her ear.
At the same time, she said to herself inwardly, "Calm down, calm down! Good, good!"
"Someone has captured my mother now, and my mother is in their hands, and they have ill intentions, they've captured her!"
"What should I do? Should I tell Dad first, tell him, he'll definitely get there before the police."
"No! Dad's situation is also very dangerous right now, Superman and Homelander are fighting where Dad is. I... I can go myself, I can go save her myself! I can't lose my mother. I just got her, I can't bear the cost of losing her again!"
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Barbara's mind.
Although Barbara's mother had divorced Gordon, her relationship with her mother had not been severed.
The two often kept in touch, and recently her mother often came to visit her, and their relationship had improved a lot compared to before.
Now, upon hearing the news that her mother was in danger, she immediately panicked.
She was about to say something to the other end of the phone when she suddenly heard a familiar yet strange voice coming from the receiver.
"Hello there, Barbara!"
Hearing this voice, Barbara trembled all over.
It was as if she had heard a voice from the depths of the netherworld.
She thought of the demon from her nightmares!
The demon who put her in a wheelchair, who had no sense of good or evil!
"You..."
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, somewhat disbelievingly, "Who... who are you?"
"Someone who has a great connection to someone close to you, or rather, someone whose souls are connected. Does my voice sound familiar, Barbara?"
