Superman gripped Bruce's wrist, and with a slight twist, a crisp crack echoed through the shelter.
Bruce's hand bones were instantly shattered into a comminuted fracture.
The intense pain made large beads of sweat seep from Bruce's forehead. He staggered backward, his eyes filled with horror, his heart turning cold.
The plan... completely failed. Superman is unaffected by Kryptonite?
And Li Yu? Why didn't he act?
In extreme shock, Bruce's words were even disjointed.
"H-how could this be..."
Superman stood up from the ground, the golden aura around him reforming. The previous weakness caused by Kryptonite vanished without a trace.
He sneered and explained.
"I changed the wavelength of this galaxy's star energy long ago. Now, Kryptonite has no effect on me whatsoever."
He scanned the corners of the shelter, his gaze finally resting on Bruce, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.
"It seems only you and Barry Allen in this world still want to resist my rule. What a pity, after putting on such a long show, I thought I could reel in more big fish."
"Now, enjoy your last few minutes of being able to speak!"
Superman slowly walked towards Bruce, his eyes glinting with malicious light... "What are you waiting for, Li Yu?"
Barry appeared before Li Yu, who was far away, his eyes filled with urgency.
"Why didn't you act just now? Bruce can't hold on much longer!"
He wanted to rush to save Bruce, but he knew he was no match for Superman, so he could only place his hope in Li Yu.
Li Yu slowly shook his head, his expression extremely solemn.
"No, Barry, given that person's caution, he would never come alone so recklessly."
Li Yu suddenly raised his voice, his tone carrying an undeniable command.
"You must enter the Speed Force immediately, go to the future one day from now, and see what exactly happened!"
"But Bruce, he..."
Barry tried to argue, but Li Yu's gaze cut him off.
"Go quickly! This concerns the survival of the entire planet!"
Under Li Yu's stern command, Barry gritted his teeth and turned. His red figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing into the Speed Force rift above the shelter.
Almost the next second, Barry returned, his eyes filled with intense fear and extreme shock.
"De... destroyed, everyone is dead!"
Li Yu's spiritual sense directly invaded his mind, seeing the scene Barry had witnessed in the future... Barry first arrived ten minutes later, seeing Batman about to be tortured to death by Superman.
Li Yu appeared above the shelter, golden light erupting around him. A golden Cloth materialized from the air, assembling itself onto him as if alive.
Superman looked up, ignoring the thick rock layers above his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the top of the clock tower, a slight smirk on his lips.
"As expected, how could Bruce have the courage to challenge me? So you were backing him."
"Come out!"
As soon as Superman finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly rippled violently like water, and two powerful silhouettes rapidly condensed in the air.
The person on the left wore a golden-yellow bodysuit, with energy flames like liquid gold coiling around him. The 'S' on his belt glittered, it was Sentry, embodying the power of a million stars.
The person on the right had fiery golden-yellow hair shooting upwards, and a crimson-gold aura sprayed around him, making sizzling sounds as it rubbed against the air. It was Kakarot in his Super Saiyan form!
Sentry's golden energy and Kakarot's crimson-gold aura collided and compressed in the air. The escaping energy particles, like invisible blades, directly vaporized the shelter's walls, revealing the thick rock layers below.
Sentry put his hand on Superman's shoulder, and Superman's body slowly turned golden-yellow.
The energy of the three soared into the sky, piercing through the entire ground of Gotham City, even reaching into the void.
Superman, Sentry, and Kakarot flew into the air together, confronting Li Yu, who was wearing his Divine Cloth.
Sentry took out a golden cube from his embrace. The cube unfolded in the air, expanding into a huge, enclosed space that enveloped the entire planet.
"Hunter, let's see where you can run this time!"
Sentry's voice carried a cold killing intent. Li Yu's lips curved slightly, his eyes showing no fear.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Four powerful energies, capable of destroying a planet, fiercely collided in space, instantly forming a miniature black hole that continuously devoured surrounding light and matter.
Immediately after, an extremely dazzling light erupted!
The entire Gotham City trembled violently, the ground cracking open with huge fissures, and magma spewing from underground.
Barry Allen subconsciously fled to a more distant future. When he emerged from the Speed Force,
the sight before him made his pupils contract sharply. Gotham City had vanished, the entire Earth had become a desolate ruin, the air filled with intense radiation, without any trace of life.
Li Yu finished reading Barry Allen's memory, his lips curved slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
"Indeed... their target was never Bruce, but me."
The emergency lights in the underground shelter flickered, and rusty pipes snaked across the walls, like grotesque blood vessels.
Superman stepped over broken concrete blocks, slowly walking towards Bruce, who was slumped on the ground. He had just personally broken Bruce's limbs. The crisp sound of bones shattering and Bruce's screams still echoed in the empty shelter.
A hint of relaxation flashed in Superman's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a more intense savagery. He nodded slightly towards the empty space beside him, his tone casual with relief.
"It's fine, it seems to have been a false alarm. Thank you both for your trouble, you can go back now. The scene that follows might be a bit bloody. If it were women, you two might still be interested, but I won't keep you for the show this time."
"Hmph, you are too timid. Descending once is very costly for us!"
"Next time for such a small matter, don't call us again!"
Two cold snorts came from the air, like the sound of ice cracking.
The space around Superman suddenly rippled like water, and two blurry shadows flashed and disappeared within the ripples.
Moments later, the shelter returned to dead silence, with only the hum of the emergency lights and Bruce's heavy breathing.
Superman squatted down, pinching one of Bruce's fingers. Human flesh was like thin paper under his strength.
With a muffled "pop," Bruce's finger instantly exploded, blood splattering on Superman's blue bodysuit, like blooming red plum blossoms.
The anti-Superman armor was useless in the face of absolute power.
Bruce's body twitched violently, his voice coming through the voice changer, hoarse as if crawling from the depths of hell.
"Superman... don't celebrate too soon... one day, you will receive your just punishment."
"Punishment?"
Superman scoffed, his eyes full of arrogance.
"Who can punish me? In this world, I am already at the top of the food chain. In a few more days, I will rule the entire universe and become the new god of this world!"
"God? Do you even qualify?"
A cold voice came from the void.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Superman's pupils constricted.
Like a beast caught in a trap, he reacted instantly, his face becoming ferocious.
"Damn it! Bruce, you really conspired with the Hunter!"
He quickly pulled out a black card with a gold border from his embrace. The card flew into the air, about to summon Sentry and Kakarot from another dimension, but the temperature in the shelter suddenly plummeted.
This was not ordinary cold, but an extreme freezing sensation that solidified the air and halted thought!
