American comic book: My Father is Superman, am I just an NPC?

Chapter 220 I am the end of the universe!
Under the sky.

Darkseid was like a black sun rising in the sky.

Who says villains can't unleash their full power? Darkseid certainly didn't have an overwhelming advantage before, but the combat power of such a high-dimensional being is also a matter of idealism.

Perhaps it was the destruction of Apokolips that ignited Darkseid's rage and unleashed his latent power, to the point that even someone as strong as his father was no match for him.

"Dad!"

Ian was horrified at that moment.

He looked up and saw Darkseid, who was suspended in the air like a mountain, and his dying father, Clark, whom he was holding like a chick in his hand.

I was truly panicked, and my mind went completely blank for a moment.

All those three demon palaces, all those buffets, all those angel feathers—they were all thrown to the winds! An unprecedented panic and rage erupted in his chest like a volcano!
"how dare you!"

Ian let out a roar. Desperate to save his father, he had no time to think of any strategy. The energy in his body burned wildly at an unprecedented speed, and he transformed into a streak of light that tore through the night sky, rushing towards Darkseid without regard for anything else—he only wanted to save Clark!

The Kent children are all family heroes.

Ian was no exception.

He unleashed unprecedented power and speed; however, the gap between the Father-level and the Single Universe-level was a chasm that could not be bridged by courage and anger.

"hehe."

Darkseid didn't even make any obvious move.

He merely turned his rock-like head slightly, his crimson eyes burning with the Omega effect, and coldly glanced at Ian, who was rushing towards him.

It was just this one "glance"!
An invisible and intangible force, yet containing the absolute law of destruction, instantly acted upon Ian!

"Damn it!"

Ian felt as if he had been hit head-on by a planet accelerating to the speed of light! The protective energy around him shattered like paper, and before the excruciating pain could even reach his central nervous system, he was already being slammed straight to the ground like a meteorite with terrifying kinetic energy exceeding the third cosmic velocity!
"boom----!!!"

The ground was easily torn apart and vaporized like tofu! Ian's figure vanished from the surface in an instant, leaving behind only a bottomless, massive crater with molten edges.

The unstoppable force carried him through the Earth's crust and mantle... unstoppable all the way, and finally crashed into the hot, high-pressure core!

[Taken a fatal blow! The Berserker's skill's [Near-Death Rage] effect is activated! All attributes are greatly increased! Recovery is rapidly enhanced!]

……

A series of prompts flashed through Ian's mind.

His mutilated, almost falling-off body floated in the scorching lava of the Earth's core. The berserker's passive ability was activated to the extreme, and with the regenerative power of the [Undead], his broken bones, torn muscles, and annihilated organs were frantically reorganizing and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Wrath of the Undead: When you take any form of damage, you recover 1% of your maximum health per second, healing all injuries, including fatal ones.]

The more severe the injury, the faster the recovery. When your health drops below 10%, you will receive a brief resurrection, a blissful rebirth that will last until all your energy is depleted.

Death? That has always been a luxury for you.

Despite Ian's pitiful appearance, he hasn't actually triggered the full health resurrection effect of the Undead's Wrath skill when his health is below 10%.

It is estimated that only when only about one head remains can the so-called life value be below 10%. The life force of the evil god is indeed moving closer to the truly evil.

"Damn it! This is Earth!"

Ian steadied himself in the extreme environment of the Earth's core, an environment capable of melting most matter, as excruciating pain and violent power clashed within him. He looked up, gazing at the distant surface through the long tunnel he had smashed out, which was rapidly being filled by the surrounding lava.

Since his debut.

Ian had never felt so frustrated.

Being on his own home planet Earth, he couldn't use his Ultra Bombs and those powerful clearing techniques... and dared not use them at all!
Ian's strongest attack methods are all indiscriminate area-of-effect attacks. Using them in densely populated areas inside the Earth is tantamount to killing a thousand enemies while losing ten thousand of your own.

The magical energy accumulated over these days is considerable. Combined with the burst of Odin's divine power, the impact will certainly extend beyond just one planet; perhaps even the entire solar system will undergo a dramatic change.

Rat-proof device.

Ian simply couldn't use those methods.

This is what happens when you have the power, but can't fully utilize it.

"I need to figure out a way to lure this guy somewhere else... or get him to come to me on his own." Ian's mind raced, but he had regained his composure.

Previously, his wisdom was hindered by family ties, but now that he thinks about it, even if his father died in battle, he must have gone to heaven, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to bring him back.

At worst, my father will have a halo over his head from now on.
Following the large hole he had smashed, Ian raised his head, his gaze piercing through the dirt and dust, and looked up at the Dark King, still suspended in the sky above the ground.

Above the sky on the planet's surface.

Darkseid swatted at Ian like a fly, not even caring whether he lived or died. But he heard Superman, whom he was holding, react strongly when the "bug" was shot down.

"Ian!"

Even though he was on his last legs and bruised and battered, Superman could still see who had charged at Darkseid earlier, and he could also hear Ian’s loud shouts.

He let out a painful and desperate roar, his heart churning, wanting to unleash his full power—however, Darkseid had clearly done a lot of research and developed relevant countermeasures.

A surge of dark power churned in his hands, suppressing the sun that was about to erupt within Superman.

"Hmm, I can see that the person you just killed is very important to you." Darkseid's rock-like face remained expressionless, but his crimson eyes flickered slightly. He realized that the arrogant insect from before was definitely related to this stubborn Kryptonian, and the relationship was quite close.

“He is as dead as can be, Clark.” Darkseid’s voice was cold and certain, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

“I believe what you say, that you may not have destroyed Apokolips yourself. But—” His fingers tightened slightly, causing Superman to convulse in pain as he suffocated.

"If you don't tell me who it was, what force it was... that blew up my planet... then it won't just be that human child who dies."

Darkseid's dark power surged out like a tidal wave, not only as a physical suppression but also as an erosion at the level of rules, still firmly suppressing the idealistic solar energy within Superman that should have erupted under extreme emotions!
This is absolutely an epic nerf to Superman, without even using Kryptonite. That targeted strategy prevents Clark from breaking through his limits through emotional outbursts.

Besides Batman, perhaps the person who knows Superman best is Darkseid, the super-young overlord.

"Believe me."

Darkseid surveyed the dimly lit metropolis below, a metropolis he saw as fragile and vulnerable, his voice like a final judgment: "I will destroy everything you have in an instant. Your beloved planet and life are so fragile... I only need to wave my hand... all living things will be wiped out along with this planet."

His threat was direct and effective.

Darkseid even saw Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, and other Justice League members rushing towards him in the distant sky.

but.

So what?

These heroes, who are like gods in the eyes of Earthlings, are nothing more than larger and slightly stronger ants in his eyes.

The only thing that stirred even the slightest ripple in his eternally cold heart was the enormous magic circle in the distance, which was gradually taking shape and exuding a chaotic and evil aura that he found somewhat repulsive.

"Heh." Darkseid gripped Superman's head tightly, his gaze turning to the magic circle with a hint of mockery, as if he had seen some hidden secret. "Your race is as foolish as ever. Always preferring to use methods that... you simply cannot control."

As if to confirm Darkseid's words, the moment he finished speaking, the huge crimson magic circle in the distance suddenly began to change violently!
The originally stable rune structure began to distort and recombine, as if forcibly pulled and altered by a more powerful and fundamental force! The light of the magic circle shifted from scarlet to a deeper, darker crimson, and the energy level contained within it increased exponentially!
"What's going on?!" A raven's horrified cry echoed through the heavens and earth. As the one presiding over the ritual, she was the one who could best sense the magic circle's loss of control! A terrifying will, far beyond her expectations and even beyond her comprehension, was ruthlessly seizing control of the magic circle!

Immediately afterwards, a grand, insane laugh, filled with endless evil and blasphemy, roared from the center of the magic circle, shaking the entire dimension.

"Hahahaha! My dear child... Thank you for your help..."

Dark red energy, like blood, gushed from the center of the magic circle, coalescing into a colossal, towering demonic phantom—it was Sangu Demon! "It is because of your assistance that I was able to... to descend upon the mortal realm in this entirely new way, carrying my immeasurable power! Hahahaha!"

It turns out that Sangu had long ago seen through Raven's intentions! Instead of stopping him, he went along with it, cleverly using his daughter's hatred for him and the summoning ritual to distort and amplify them, turning them into a springboard that allowed him to bypass certain restrictions and project more power into the material world!

The three demons that appeared at this moment were constantly solidifying, as if they were about to step into the human world from the hell dimension in their true form. The pressure they emitted made the entire starry sky seem to tremble!
This momentum and power.

This far surpasses any of his previous instances of avatars appearing!

"No...this shouldn't be the case. The person who told me about this method is your eternal enemy..." Raven's face turned pale. She frantically mobilized her magic power, trying to attack and interfere with the process of the Three Palaces Demon's descent, but her attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to even stir up a ripple.

"The kind of thing that happens when you fight with yourself is actually quite common in hell. You will never know enough about us, and you will never realize that everything about you is inherited from me."

San Gongmo lowered his head.

Six eyes burning with evil fire looked down at the daughter below, who was as small as dust. There was not a trace of so-called fatherly love in their eyes, only naked mockery and toying.

"My daughter!" Sangu Demon spread her enormous arms and proclaimed to the whole world, "Witness me, watch as I conquer this reality, the most prized by the Creator, and make it my territory!"

He was immersed in the thrill of the power that was about to descend and the impending conquest, laughing wildly, completely unaware that in the sky not far away, the Kryptonian, who was being held in Darkseid's hand and seemed to be at his wit's end, was having countless images of the boy who had been driven into the ground flash through his mind.

Clark Kent, the symbol of hope and truth, is now filled with pain, anger, and a... very conflicted emotion.

Looking at Sangokuma's arrogant and overbearing demeanor, and sensing Darkseid's determination to destroy everything, he ultimately made a decision that went against tradition.

"You didn't... want to know... who the Destroyer is?" He suddenly used his last bit of strength to raise his trembling hand and point it at the laughing Sangu Demon. He spoke to Darkseid in a tone that was a mixture of pain, anger, and a hint of... relief after the "truth has come to light."

Darkseid's gaze instantly sharpened like a knife, fixing intently on Superman.

"Okay...I'll tell you...it's...him!"

Superman met the other's gaze and, word by word, risked his entire life's reputation and the truth he upheld, uttered the most serious lie of his heroic career.

The direction he was pointing to was none other than the newly arrived, imposing figure—the Three Palaces Demon!

"The arrival of the Demon Lord requires countless blood sacrifices... It was all Batman's idea." Superman explained himself while also including his good friend.

"Um!?"

For the first time, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared on Darkseid's perpetually icy face—an extreme rage and murderous intent! Even a Dark Lord like him held Superman's admirable qualities in high regard. Therefore, he almost instinctively believed Superman's accusation!

Who would have thought.

Even a saintly Superman would tell such a lie—Clark Kent, the perfect Superman, has actually developed a cunning mind after being influenced by Ian for so long!
this moment.

Darkseid's crimson eyes, burning with the Omega effect, like two supernovas about to explode, suddenly locked onto Sangu Mako, who was still preparing to "conquer reality"!
"Hey, what's going on?"

The Demon King Sangu was immersed in the thrill of the power descending and the impending conquest of the world. His enormous demonic phantom stretched across the night sky, radiating a pressure that made all living beings tremble.

However, in what was a peaceful atmosphere to him, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, as if he were being watched by some terrifying creature.

Yes, an indescribable feeling, as if being watched by some extremely dangerous being, crept into Sangu Demon's senses like a cold, venomous snake.

This left him utterly bewildered.

With the immense power he now possesses, there should be no one strong enough to threaten him on this earth. Those so-called superheroes are nothing but clowns in his eyes.

"All of Earth's super-strongest beings should be dead." Sangu Demon's enormous head turned left and right, its six fiery eyes scanning the city below and the heroes in the distance, muttering to itself the "correct information" it had gathered through its claws and whispers.

His gaze completely ignored his daughter Raven, who was being held down on the ground by his oppressive aura and struggling to breathe, as if she were just an insignificant stumbling block.

"In the sky, huh?"

Finally, he instinctively raised his head, gazing at the night sky higher above. And there, he met a pair of eyes, almost inches away, burning with a destructive crimson light!

Darkseid!

At some point, the Dark Lord had released the dying Superman and bound him to a dark cross with dark power.

He appeared silently and stealthily at the same height as San Gongmo, so close that they could almost feel the energy fluctuations emanating from each other.

"Oh it's you."

Trigon recognized Darkseid, the tyrant of Apokolips, a notorious figure in the multiverse. Although they had no prior acquaintance, both were top figures in the chaotic evil faction, and Trigon instinctively wanted to greet him, or at least ask why he was there.

However, before he could even utter a single syllable, without any warning, two Omega rays containing absolute destruction and causality erupted from Darkseid's rock-like face, like blood-red lightning tearing through the universe, unleashed with unrestrained and ferocious force!

The ray struck the face of the Three Palaces Demon directly!
"!!!" Alarm bells rang in Sangu's mind! Although he was arrogant, he was by no means stupid, and he knew the horror of the Omega Effect! It was a annihilating power that touched the very foundation of the rules!

At the critical moment, Sangu Demon displayed his terrifying reaction speed as a dimensional demon god, his huge body twisting violently in a way that defied the laws of physics!
Space is folded.

boom! ! !
The Omega ray grazed past Sangu Mako's shoulder blade, annihilating a portion of his energy body! The two rays, having lost their target, continued their trajectory, hurtling straight towards the ground below! Given the power of the Omega ray, if it were to directly hit Earth, the outcome would be undeniable—the planet would be utterly destroyed!
"No!!!" In mid-air, Superman Clark, who was trying to break free of his restraints, saw this scene and his eyes widened in horror as he let out a desperate roar!

In his eyes, the idealistic power that had been suppressed by Darkseid's dark forces seemed to be about to break through the suppression and burst forth with a dazzling light.

no way.

Superman knows it very well.

If we don't do something, we can only watch helplessly as destruction comes! And at this critical moment, when the fate of the Earth hangs by a thread!
A sudden change occurred!

In the enormous, bottomless crater leading to the Earth's core that Ian had previously created, an indescribable, pure darkness emanated like an ancient, silent spring.

It suddenly gushed out!

This darkness is not simply the absence of light, but a tangible, highly corrosive dimensional force! Like splashed ink, or a living shadow, it spreads and permeates everything in its path at an alarming speed! The sky, the clouds, the buildings, even... including the energy fields emanating from Darkseid and the Trinity!
All of reality touched by this darkness lost its color rapidly, and its structure seemed to be assimilated. The two main villains were so caught up in the moment that they were forcibly pulled into a dark world!
It's like a separate dimension!

Those two Omega rays, powerful enough to destroy a planet, were completely obliterated by the spreading darkness, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

It vanishes without a trace!
"who!"

Having just dodged the attack, the still-shaken Sangu Ma was stunned. Even Darkseid, who had always been expressionless, showed obvious astonishment in his crimson eyes for the first time!
They could all feel as if they had been instantly detached from Earth's space in the main universe and placed in a strange realm completely dominated by dark rules!
"Who is it?! Show yourself!" Sangu Demon exclaimed in shock and anger, her voice filled with disbelief. "Who is using their own dimension to erode the real world?!"

He couldn't believe that, besides himself, another dimensional demon had descended upon reality without him even noticing, which completely disrupted his plans.

"Is it that...dead brat from earlier?" Darkseid's intelligence and observation skills were clearly superior, and his cold voice carried a hint of barely perceptible solemnity.

He not only saw the darkness gushing out from the hole where Ian had fallen, but he also clearly felt that his invincible Omega Rays were being swallowed up by that darkness!
At this moment, Darkseid's inner turmoil was far more intense than it appeared on the surface; it was as if his world was churning! The Omega Effect is one of the most powerful forces in the universe, involving the erasure of causality and existence. He could hardly imagine what kind of being or force could so easily "devour" him!

Someone could prove that Darkseid's power was indeed advanced enough. Just as the two major villains were filled with doubt and trying to sense the source of this dark dimension, a magnificent, deep voice, as if resonating from countless stars, slowly emanated from the depths of the dark silence, carrying a sense of sudden realization.

"I... understand!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire dark dimension.

"The best way to protect the Earth while you guys are causing trouble..."

Darkness began to surge violently, and a colossal figure, blotting out the sky and seemingly composed of galactic dust and dark matter, slowly emerged from the endless shadows. The figure's silhouette carried a hunger that seemed to devour everything, sending an instinctive shiver down the spines of beings like Darkseid and the Three Palaces Demon!

"It's about swallowing the Earth... into my belly!"

The figure was fully revealed.

It possesses a grander and more majestic presence than the starry sky.

Galactus!
To be precise, it was Ian Kent who manifested the form of the Galactus Devourer!
[The Body of the End: You can temporarily break through the shackles of your life form and transform into a deity walking among humans by detonating the "cosmic energy" or something else accumulated within your body.]

In this form, you will briefly become the law of the universe itself—the enforcer of balance—and can eliminate anything you consider harmful to the universe by "devouring" it.

The stars are extinguished to satisfy your thirst! The whispers of the universe are proclaiming that you are the end!

This skill appeared silently in the learnable skill list of [Entropy Lord] after Ian acquired the Cosmic Tapeworm, and his current size is the effect of the new skill.

His appearance was not only accompanied by his terrifyingly vast, planet-devouring body, symbolizing the balance of the universe, but also, more strangely, by Belial's signature, evil and manic laughter, and the constant appearance of Omnipotent Ultron's cold whispers, containing the ultimate secrets of mechanical evolution.

It's like background music, intertwining and echoing!
obviously.

There must be a reason why Ian can grow to such a large size.

Belial and Ultron, the powers of these two dark kings, were temporarily borrowed by Ian as fuel after being "confiscated" by him.
