Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 492 Overcoming the Dark Side, Taking Control of Oneself

Unlike Martian Manhunter and Joey's philosophical discussions in the spiritual world, which resembled chatting and drinking tea, the Forge was unlucky enough to be sent to Saturn.

When he used his mental attack to break through the mental barriers between the two and was preparing to bring the battlefield into the familiar territory of the Martians, he did not expect that this Superman was also a double-layered being!

Now, he's been completely screwed over by this "perfect matchmaking system," and the battle between his inner self and his inner beast is raging fiercely, a merciless clash between the fire in his heart and the beast within.

Meanwhile, their egos sat there peacefully discussing life and philosophy, idealism and materialism, and were almost talking about the superego!

In "The Martian Manhunter Breaks the Great Mind," after he built the barriers he had erected for himself, he finally merged once again with the entire mental world of his Martian self and gained control over his own personality.

Seeing Ron Jungs freed, the flames on the Forge intensified. Ignoring the monster before it—a creature that, while passive, grew tougher and colder with each attack, seemingly impossible to kill or burn—it lunged at its own ego and Superman: "You'd better not lock me back up!"

"This has never been about solitary confinement!"

Martian Manhunter, facing the flames that had initially terrified him, confronted them head-on as the Green Martian: "A cruel nature should not be an excuse for violence; we've gone too far!"

Their bodies came into contact, began to transform and intertwine, evolving into various strange and exotic creatures that Joey did not recognize, tearing at each other and launching a battle unique to Martians.

In the Martian mindset, this is not a contest of absolute strength between beautiful hands, but a battle of palms.

The Forge's offensive grew increasingly fierce, and Martian Manhunter was struggling to keep up—but Ron Juntz knew he was close to winning.

As Superman said, after Gansher unlocked his mind seal, he revealed his Martian nature, and no creature with civilization and society could act solely on such primitive instincts.

The id, ego, and superego ultimately depend on the ego to achieve coordination between the id and superego, and to regulate one's own personality.

What Martian hunters need to do is to fuse the highest morality and primal instincts in their hearts, rebuild their minds and wills, overcome the dark side, regain control of themselves, and achieve balance.

From pterosaurs that breathe hot air to giant serpents with burning scales, the image of the burning Martians has become increasingly sinister as they change.

Meanwhile, Ron Rontz's transformations became increasingly harmless, from a turtle with a heavy shell to an elusive flying insect, and even a cartoonish rabbit munching on a carrot.

This left Joey, who was watching from the sidelines, stunned. He wasn't surprised by the perilous nature of the battle, but rather by the abstract nature of the character Martian Manhunter had transformed into: "That last thing was Bugs Bunny, wasn't it? It must be!!"

It seems the Martian hunter watched a lot of television on Earth, because many of the characters he transformed into were children's cartoon characters that only appear on Earth's television.

Although the situation was not optimistic for Ron Jungs, even an outsider like Joey could sense that the raging fire that permeated the entire mental world was gradually being extinguished.

Clearly, the primal instincts that dominate the Martian bodies are fading, and the thoughts and reason that have emerged from the philosophical society that the Martians have developed over thousands of years will regain the upper hand.

With the help of the new Martian hunters who have tamed their instincts, the remaining rampaging Martians will be able to regain their reason and self with the help of the former's telepathic connection.

This means that Joey has already resolved the biggest destabilizing factor on the battlefield, the Forge.

His next task was to wake up quickly and solve the next problem —

Just as Joey was thinking this, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him.

Doomsday in the distance looked in his direction, the ice crystals on its bone spikes reflecting a blue-white light.

He was just boxing with the furnace amidst this sea of ​​fire. In order to fight against the mental world, he also evolved a new form of exoskeleton that can instantly generate cold and heat.

With the Forge no longer an enemy, Doomsday seemed to have lost its target, standing there for a long time until Joey realized that the other party's attention was locked on him.

Then, standing atop the already solidified, pitch-black lava, Doomsday leaped, shattering the obsidian beneath its feet, and charged towards Joey with unstoppable momentum: "Roar!"

As soon as Joey stood up, he saw the Doomsday that had been in his mind was now right in front of him. Its enormous size was like a mountain in front of Joey, blocking out all the flames and light in this lava world.

"No way, not again?!"

Previously, when the power of the Helm of Destiny went out of control, Joey had already defeated his opponent once in Metropolis in that distorted reality.

What time is it now? Why is your other side still trying to cause trouble for you?

Besides, nobody wants to watch the Superman vs. Doomsday movie anymore!

Despite thinking this, Joey still leaped forward and threw a punch, which met Doomsday's oncoming fist head-on.

hum!

The collision of their fists triggered a massive aftershock. With a deafening roar, this aftershock tore apart the sky and ash fog, volcanoes and lava, the surface and foundation of the mind's world, annihilating everything.

"I!"

Just as Joey, with his eyes closed, entered battle mode and was about to raise his left hand to deliver another punch, he suddenly opened his eyes and sprang up from the surface of Uranus with a whoosh.

He woke up.

In this frigid and dense atmosphere, enough to pulverize most races in the universe, Joey looked around, searching for Martian hunters.

Amidst a near-crystallized whirlwind, they found Ron Jungs, his nose bleeding profusely. Jungs was still somewhat dissatisfied with Superman's forced awakening service: "You were too hasty, Superman. You could have waited a few more seconds, and I could have safely separated your consciousness from mine."

After hearing this, Joey thought about it carefully. It seemed that Doomsday had started moving just after she had the thought of waking up as soon as possible.

"Really?" Joey rubbed his temples. He had just woken up and his head was buzzing. Perhaps this was the aftereffect of the left brain attacking the right brain.

In the mental world, the clash with Doomsday, in terms of the outcome, really did just what Joey wanted. Regardless of the process, just tell me whether he woke up or not!

Martian Manhunter and Joey journey together across Uranus's frigid atmosphere toward Earth.

"What do we do now?"

He raised this question in a telepathic connection.

The current Ron Rontz is not the same as before. He has lost the Martian mindset of fearing fire and is no longer dominated by the primal, violent instincts of the burning Martians.

Then his attitude towards Ganser suddenly became complicated.

Logically and emotionally, Martian hunters should hate Ganther, but the noble nature of the Green Martians allows him to see the helplessness Ganther has in doing so.

Ganther's instilling in the Martians a fear of fire was indeed the root cause of their extinction due to the fire virus.

If Ganther hadn't done that in ancient times, the Burning Martians would have been close to leaving their home planet and venturing into space. It's hard to say whether Earth and other civilizations in the surrounding area would still exist today.

To take it a step further, if it had been a guardian like Apasa, who eradicated the Martians instead of Ganther, the Martian race might not even exist today.

So, did Ganther's actions murder the entire Martian race, or did they give the Martians a second chance?

"I have no idea."

Joey didn't know how to answer Martian Manhunter's question. Generally speaking, he only started thinking about moral issues when he was relatively free and had no direction.

He couldn't afford to be idle right now, so he had to ask Martian Hunter to stabilize the situation: "Go back to Metropolis first, stabilize your people, I have some things to take care of."

The reason it's called the Metropolis is because, as they get closer, Joey's gaze has already reached New York on the other side of the Metropolis, and the parties involved in this crisis are not limited to just one planet.
