I'm in an American comic book, and all my teammates are main characters and bosses.

Chapter 84 - This is the confidence that comes with Kryptonian blood!

With the meat saw, enhanced by the Speed ​​Force, almost within reach, Superman's eyes widened suddenly, and then he turned his head and opened his mouth wide.

With a series of shattering sounds, Superman's teeth bit down hard on the blade of the meat saw. Even so, Ron swung the meat saw with all his might, slicing away relentlessly. With broken teeth and gums ground into minced meat, the heavy blade collided with Superman's jawbone.

Superman's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Ron. He broke off both arms to free himself from the restraints of the Doomsday Armor and then swung his severed arms at Ron.

The right arm bone that hurtled through the air, though it was a broken bone, felt like a sharp broken spear, and it turned into a blur as it stabbed toward Ron's heart!

Seeing this, Ron simply twisted his body, gripped the blade of the meat saw tightly in his backhand, and drew the trigger in a flash, quickly transforming it from a battle axe into a serrated broadsword. He swung his arms in a wide arc, delivering a vicious slash to his unprotected abdomen!

But the lungs and ribs had already been reborn under the unknown black power. All that could be seen was Superman's chest suddenly swell up a size, and because there was no flesh left, the process appeared incredibly brutal. The swollen lungs almost filled the gaps between the ribs, overflowing outwards like a rubber balloon filled with water.

Accompanied by black arcane energy, a massive amount of air formed a terrifyingly low-temperature hurricane within Superman's body.

With a single breath, the compressed storm resembled an invisible blade. Even under the Speed ​​Force, Ron's abdomen was still pierced by the air blade. But just as the air blade was about to cut towards Ron's heart, a red lightning bolt flashed from the side, forcefully pulling Ron away from the beam's range, thus allowing the fatal blow to be delivered diagonally from his waist!

As expected, the wind blade was still filled with that troublesome black arcane energy. Sensing that it was spreading into his body, Ron did not deal with it as roughly as before. Instead, he let out a soft groan, and then a mass of rotting flesh burst out from the wound on his waist.

Looking up at Superman, whose scars had healed completely in just a few breaths, Ron remarked, "The World Virus really did put all its eggs in one basket with Superman. This kind of regenerative ability is probably powered by the energy of those undead minions outside."

"According to Diana's report, a large number of undead outside have died inexplicably." Thomas's voice came through the Doomsday Armor's loudspeaker:

"According to calculations, the core of the curse should be Superman, but if we're talking about Infected Zero, it should be Mera."

"The world's virus has its own consciousness. If I were it, I would also choose to parasitize Superman."

With that, Ron said, "Enough with the nonsense. We don't need to talk about chivalry with this heretic. Let's kill him first!"

As he spoke, Ron's body rapidly recovered under the enhancement of the Speed ​​Force—although he could do it without it. However, the Speed ​​Force achieves natural recovery by accelerating metabolism, requiring far less energy than activating self-healing.

Noticing Ron's actions, Barry remarked with a hint of envy, "You seem to have gotten even more comfortable with the Speed ​​Force!"

"It's simple. Give me a bloodletting injection, and you'll be pretty much in the know."

"Then forget it." Barry shook his head, indicating that he had no interest in blood therapy.

Although Barry hadn't spent much time with Ron, he was certain that blood healing was no easy feat. Just the fact that Ron himself meticulously prepared for blood healing, meticulously planning every step and having numerous contingency plans, showed that a single misstep during blood healing could lead to utter ruin.

In fact, Ron wasn't wrong. The Speed ​​Force is powerful, but almost all the speedsters' weaknesses stem from themselves. This includes Barry—all speedsters who have mastered the Speed ​​Force, unless they have integrated it with the force itself, must deliberately dull their senses and perception of the outside world in order to avoid driving themselves insane.

Otherwise, even a simple sentence would feel like a year of sitting in vain to a speedster. Furthermore, without restrictions, those realities beyond the boundaries of individual dimensions, those that transcend reality, would severely damage a speedster's psyche. This is why the Flash is often hit or falls into traps by those slower than him.

But now, having completed the Ancient Blood healing, his understanding of space and time has reached an astonishing level. Even at full power, Ron can ignore the many limitations of a speedster and forcibly synchronize with the Speed ​​Force.

Although this only improved Ron's starting speed, for a speedster who has mastered the Speed ​​Force, such an improvement will bring about a comprehensive and flawless enhancement!

"It's on!!"

Although they seemed to have said a lot, the communication between speedsters was barely even a buzzing sound to the average person.

All his words were condensed into his final sentence. Kratos let out a sound, his teeth clenched, and the divine power beneath his skin surged within him like magma.

As the toughest member of Ron's team at this stage, Kratos didn't launch a barrage of deadly attacks from blind spots like Ron, an agile gadget-wielding warrior. Instead, he met Superman's gaze head-on, gripped his battle axe tightly, and roared as he charged towards Kal-El with heavy footsteps!

Seeing this, Superman finished replying and did not dodge or avoid. He glared and his surging heat gaze struck Kratos's solid muscles. As dark arcane energy surged, the area hit was immediately corroded and covered with numerous scorched blood blisters.

But with the blessing of divine power, Kratos's body unleashed astonishing resistance. He casually blocked several attacks from the heat vision with his palm to prevent the corrosion from accumulating in one area. Then he came in front of Superman, first bringing down an axe, but it was blocked by Superman's right arm. He didn't care, grabbed Superman's other hand, and then raised his head to deliver a headbutt!

Superman's withered legs left two deep furrows, tens of meters long, on the ground of the Infinity City as he barely came to a stop. But then, with the opening of two portals, Kratos and Ciri emerged from either side of Superman. One wielded an axe, the other a sword, and with perfect coordination, they delivered a powerful slash to the back of Superman's knee!

Buzz! ! !

The engine roared, the sonic boom activated, and the space above Superman's head was forcibly shattered.

While not as free-flowing as Ciri's abilities, and constrained by spatial mass and world strength, the Infinite City is Ron's domain. Being within it minimizes the resistance Thomas faces when activating the Burst Channel. Even if it's not as powerful as Ciri's World Gate, its opening speed and precision far surpass those in the material realm!

The red sun's radiation, though at its maximum power, couldn't weaken Superman, but it continuously depleted the connection between Superman's body and the world virus. This forced Superman to divert some of his power to maintain the cursed field on his body to prevent his genetic defects from turning him into a powerless mortal!

It's unreasonable to fight outnumbered. In other words, Diana had to lead the Amazonian barbarians to fight against the undead Aquaman. Otherwise, even if Superman could survive, he would have had seven or eight extra parts cut off by the sword of Vulcan!

Just then, Superman, who had been passively taking hits, suddenly focused his gaze, then tensed all his muscles, released a burst of energy that sent everyone around him flying, and used all his strength to slam into a circle behind him—Bang!

A golden and red figure was sent flying with a deafening roar. But upon seeing that the one struck was the Flash, Superman's eyes flashed with disgust and anger.

Boosted by the Speed ​​Force, Ron continued to speed forward, not in a hurry to attack. In fact, Ron could clearly sense that Superman was constantly on guard against him—

As the master of this dimension, Ron can easily manipulate its many components, giving everyone a near-permanent home-field advantage. Even if Superman launches an attack, he can use his manipulation of space within the dimension to relocate or even counterattack.

Now, as Superman locked onto the Flash's attack, Ron didn't hesitate at all, his ghostly figure immediately appearing behind Superman.

Seeing this, Superman immediately retaliated, ignoring the cracking sounds from his bones as he forcefully swung his arm, and turned to launch a swift attack first. But before he could swing his arm, on the other side, using the runic longsword in his hand as a medium, pale arcane energy exploded from Ciri's body, and in an instant, more than a dozen small world gates appeared around Superman, locking his limbs in the air like chains.

Just like the space-cutting technique, it simply opens the gate to the world and then allows the corrective force of space itself to cut, suppress, and imprison Superman!

Unfortunately, these dozens of miniature portals lasted less than a breath before Superman forcibly shattered them—the reduced mass of space allowed Thomas to open sonic booms at an incredibly fast speed. However, the suppression from the very nature of space also weakened accordingly!

But it only affected him for a brief moment, and that was enough—Ron and Superman didn't even need to clash. Kratos had already reached out and tore apart the shockwaves surging around Superman. With his other hand, he gripped the handle of the Leviathan Axe, the veins on his arm bulging like the roots of an old tree, and swung the axe at Superman's neck!

Realizing something was wrong, Superman raised his right shoulder, trying to use it as a buffer to block the fatal axe blow.

But before Kratos could land his attack, Ron's ghostly figure appeared from the side, accompanied by jet-black lightning.

The mottled saw-like cleaver entered dual-wielding mode, its worn blade stained with the rich, pungent blood of the dead. Speed ​​Force activated; body, mind, and reflexes simultaneously entered Speedster mode. With a fleeting moment of extreme speed—*splat!*

Ron's attack came first, the heavy saw blade striking the junction of Superman's neck and spine the instant it pierced Superman's neck. Disrupting his center of gravity, Superman's defense failed, and he even crashed into Kratos's battle axe with the force of the impact.

Two bursts of blood-red light were seen, and then Superman's head shot into the sky!

Seeing this, Barry, who had been sent flying by a punch and was using his Speed ​​Force to accelerate the recovery of his fractured right arm, also revealed a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"We won?!"

His voice was filled with disbelief. Although he knew this wasn't the Superman from his own world, and that this Superman hadn't fully matured—at most, he'd made up for what he lacked in the past in a short time—the influence of his own world's Superman on the Flash was simply too great. Even defeating a weakened version from another world, seeing Kal-El's face filled with terror and anger still thrilled and surprised Barry!

In response, Ron growled, "Watch out! His arcane connection to the outside world hasn't been severed!"

The next moment, accompanied by a splatter of blood from his neck, Superman's head, which had shot skyward, quickly retaliated with a furious rage after a brief moment of shock and resentment. His eyes widened in fury, and as his mouth opened to its fullest extent, a piercing sonic wave radiated outwards. Even with the protection of the Doomsday Armor, Thomas, inside, couldn't help but cough up blood in pain. With electronic components and the arcane energy pathways destroyed, the red solar radiation lamps on his body quickly went out.

Not to mention Thomas, even Kratos couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly at that sharp roar.

Immediately afterward, Superman reached out and grabbed his own head, just like Perseus held Medusa's head in his hands, and then aimed his head at Kratos.

As arcane energy surged, Superman's severed eyes and mouth widened, unleashing a torrent of surging malice from the black arcane energy. Without hesitation, Kratos immediately deployed his right arm's round shield. But even with his wife's rune enchantment, at the moment the shield collided with the energy cannon, Kratos's body was still forced to smash through countless doors and walls, and he was blasted away!

After defeating Kratos, Superman didn't pause, but instead of attacking Ron, he used his bones to forcefully stop the saw blade that Ron was cutting into his body, then grabbed the saw blade and swung Ron toward Thomas who was standing to the side.

With the sounds of steel twisting and bones breaking, the Doomsday Armor, already severely overloaded from its head-on collision with Superman, shattered. Thomas struggled to crawl out, still alive, but his arms and legs were twisted into an impossible arc!

Fortunately, Ciri reacted quickly, realizing something was wrong and immediately activated her Ancient Blood. Almost the instant Ciri passed through the World Gate, the torrent of arcane energy completely destroyed the spot where Ciri had been standing!
