American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 158 A Weak Doomsday... and a Random Intervention

Green kryptonite powder filled the air, and Clark immediately realized what it was. However, it was too late when he realized it; his body weakened almost instantly.

If he were given some time to be exposed to sunlight, the effects of the Kryptonite would be reduced. Unfortunately, Clark did not know that Batman would obtain the Kryptonite and use it against him.

Clark's physique plummeted from extraordinary to near-mortal in an instant, and a sense of imbalance filled his body and consciousness. A pitch-black figure, capable of instilling fear in ordinary people, immediately approached at an extremely fast speed, raising its arms in an attempt to deliver a fatal blow.

Batman seized the moment when Superman was at his weakest, rushed in front of him, clenched his fists, and swung his exoskeleton wrist brace, which was already fully charged. He then swung it out and slammed it hard into Superman's body!

boom!

An attack powerful enough to shatter an entire wall struck Clark in the chest, causing him to cough up blood and slam his head against the wall behind him. The amount of Kryptonite seemed insufficient; even with its weakening effect, Superman still maintained a physique far superior to that of an ordinary human.

Despite taking the full force of Batman's blow, he did not die; he only suffered a severe chest injury and was still able to continue moving.

"Cough cough cough..."

Clark coughed incessantly, spitting out large amounts of blood, but Batman did not stop attacking. He darted in front of him and threw another punch. Superman, who was prepared, endured the pain and dodged Batman's punch by turning to the side, his nails digging into his skin in an attempt to distract himself from the pain.

Batman turned back to continue his attack on Clark, saying in a deep voice, "Superman, how does it feel to be a mortal?"

His body wasn't completely weakened yet; the firearm would likely only cause superficial wounds.

Bruce Wayne, thinking at lightning speed, threw a right punch, but it was just a feint. As soon as his arm extended slightly, he used his waist to kick out with his left leg. To Batman's surprise, Superman's hands slammed directly onto the armor on his left leg.

Forcibly stopping the armor, Clark, feeling suffocated, clenched his fists and raised them towards Batman's chin, delivering a heavy blow that sent Bruce falling backward.

With the help of his exoskeleton, his flexible waist, and martial arts skills, Batman, who was falling backward, was about to regain his balance when Superman kicked him in the shin to stabilize his body, causing him to fall to his side.

Clark opened his five fingers and then tightened them again, a sonic boom echoing in his palm. He held his breath and slammed his fist into Bruce's chest. Just as he was about to hit him, the surrounding gun turrets aimed at Clark and fired. Still recovering from his weakness, he could only raise his hand to protect his vital parts.

Bruce, who had fallen to his side, used one hand to support himself as he got up. He never expected that this god among men would know martial arts.

"I thought you only knew how to use brute force and looked down on the skills of ordinary people."

The turret ceased firing, and Clark lowered his bloodied arms, bullets still being squeezed from his muscles. Faced with Batman's provocation, Superman, whose head was spinning from blood loss, struggled to speak for a moment, managing only to say with difficulty:

"I am...human."

"Stop joking, you're not human!"

Seeing Clark's powers quickly recover after leaving the Kryptonite, Batman raised his hand, aimed at Superman, and fired again. This time, Clark did not choose to take the shot head-on, but turned to the side to dodge, only to find that the bullet was not aimed at him, but at the ground.

The green kryptonite smoke burst out, and Superman's powers, which had just begun to improve, weakened again, leaving him kneeling on the ground, unable to resist any longer.

The hidden Batmobile launched a kryptonite spear, and Batman, without even turning his head, grabbed the spear shaft as it flew towards him. He then stood in front of Superman, raising his weapon to try and kill the alien creature before him.

However, before he could make a move, an aged woman's voice rang out in the distance, attracting the attention of Batman and Superman: "No, Clark!"

A man in a black trench coat appeared on the battlefield, where there were no other interfering parties, accompanied by an elderly man. The old man rushed between Clark and Bruce, desperately blocking the person who wanted to harm his son.

Batman immediately stopped, his expression uncertain beneath his mask. Seeing his mother before him, Superman instantly relaxed, grasping Martha Kent's hand weakly and saying, "Mother, I'm so glad you're alright..."

……

Let's go back in time a little.

After confirming that Superman and Batman were fighting, Li Buying quickly located Martha Kent in Australia based on Ai Yi's location. She didn't know how Lex Luthor managed to bring her across the ocean to this place.

Using Apparition to reach the designated location, [Giant Source] crushed the heads of everyone except Martha Kent before bringing the unconscious old woman to the vicinity of the battle scene. Only when the fighting was almost over did he wake Martha Kent up.

The timing was perfect; Lois Lane arrived just in time, and the already sentimental Batman immediately hesitated, realizing something—

Besides Kryptonite, Superman also has weaknesses, one of which is a weakness he doesn't have.

Bruce Wayne silently met Clark Kent's gaze, his memories drifting back to that alleyway. When his recollection ended, he tossed the kryptonite spear into the distance and then looked at Li Buying, who was wearing a black trench coat.

At this moment, Li Buying was wearing the same mask as always, but the mask was no longer shaped like a spider, but rather a rotating black vortex.

The black vortex was surrounded by black dots of various sizes. Some were sucked into the vortex, while others were flung into more empty spaces, but no matter what, the black dots always existed.

"Who are you?" Batman asked Li Buying with great wariness.

Li Buying shrugged slightly, feigning ease, but her voice was even deeper than Batman's:

"【The Great Source】, 【The Prophet】, call me whatever you want, but in short, I'm here to ensure the Earth isn't destroyed. Do you know why Lex Luthor wanted you to fight Superman?"

"You're just one of his options. He wants to kill Superman, and if you fail, he'll try to create a powerful monster using Zod's body. In the end, the entire Earth will be destroyed because of that."

Bruce Wayne stared wide-eyed, not doubting the masked man's words; at least this time, the "prophecy" of the "prophet" was definitely true.

He immediately turned around and called out to Clark: "Superman."

"I heard it, and I felt it..."

Superman got up, and as the Kryptonite moved away from his body, he began to slowly recover. His super senses also detected that some monster was rapidly brewing in a spaceship not far away. He nodded slightly to his mother and girlfriend, preparing to step onto the battlefield again.

The dented bones popped and automatically returned to their original positions, bullets that had pierced bones or muscles were expelled, and external wounds were quickly healed. Clark tiptoed and flew directly into the air toward Metropolis.

Batman immediately raised his hand to summon his Batplane, ignoring Li Buying who had suddenly appeared beside him, assuming that Li Buying must be capable of going to the Metropolitan Metropolis.

"Gentlemen, let me take you to a safe location first."

Li Buying reached out and took the Kryptonian spear, placing it in her storage space. She then skillfully used Apparition, instantly transporting the two to the small house in Kansas. Afterward, she teleported again to the vicinity of the Kryptonian spaceship, which was about to become a battlefield.

As soon as he landed, a huge explosion erupted from the spaceship covered by a massive building in front of him. Debris and dust were blocked by the force field, and he could feel the emergence of a bio-force field similar to that of Superman, which was slowly increasing over time.

As the smoke cleared, Superman was locked in combat with the bald monster still covered in slime. Due to his previous injuries, he was temporarily suppressed. The first phase of Doomsday kept raising his hand and bombarding Clark, knocking him away completely after three punches!

"Roar roar roar roar!"

A roar shook the surrounding air. It raised its eyes and looked at Li Buying's location. The beast's instinct told it that Superman was not important. This seemingly weak human in front of it was the one who could bring it the most danger.

Just as it tensed its muscles, preparing to attack Li Buying, a heat ray struck from afar. Doomsday raised its hand to try and block it, only to find that the energy did not hit it; an invisible shield helped it block the attack.

"It can absorb energy, so we can't use this. Go and get all the civilians away from the vicinity!"

Li Buying loudly informed Superman, whose eyes were emitting heat rays. The sound was so loud that even the filming crew at GG Entertainment could hear it. In an instant, everyone's attention shifted from Superman to Li Buying, whose face had a black hole.

He was prepared to be exposed to everyone's view, and looked up to call other superheroes over through the TV, but then he thought that having too many people in a melee would be troublesome, so he decided to try it himself first.

It's just the first phase of Doomsday; as long as no one causes trouble, there won't be any problems.

"It's evolving rapidly even without energy..."

Under the influence of gravity, the bald monster, whose growth resources he had shielded from, was still evolving little by little. Li Buying could only sincerely hope that, like in the movies, it wouldn't be activated by the sun like the Kryptonians, and that Kryptonite would also be effective against it.

Ignoring Superman's attack, the beast shattered the earth with lightning speed, creating a sonic boom as it arrived in front of Li Buying. It swung its massive fists at Li Buying, but the fists could not get close even when they were a meter away.

Fortunately, their current strength is not very high.

He waved his hand and took out the kryptonite spear that Batman had forged. Without waiting for Wonder Woman and Batman to arrive, he raised his hand and lightly touched the tip of the spear.

The kryptonite spear shattered with a crisp sound, the fragments transforming into green streams that he pulled away from their anchor, reforming in Li Buying's hands to form blades upon blades.

Seemingly sensing the danger posed by the Kryptonite, he decisively moved away from it at an even faster speed, wanting to escape this place as quickly as possible. On the way, he saw Superman returning.

He had just sent all the humans within a 500-meter radius away. Now he just hoped that others would know he was in danger and run as far away as possible.

Despite his still weakened state, Clark rammed into Doomsday with all his might. The shockwave from their collision destroyed all the buildings within a hundred meters, and people further away could feel the storm sweeping through them.

Looking at the planes being tossed about by the strong winds, Li Buying reminded everyone again: "Everyone! Those who can leave Central City, leave immediately! The entire Central City is no longer safe!"

This was the final warning. He slowly lowered his head, exuding a powerful aura, and watched Doomsday, who was locked in combat with Superman. He slightly raised his hand and activated Gravity Mastery!

The fist that was about to land on Superman's face suddenly stopped. Clark noticed that Doomsday's body was trembling slightly but he couldn't move, as if he was being held firmly in place by something.

He turned to look at Li Buying, and when he confirmed that it was him, he immediately felt relieved and began to bombard the monster in front of him with both hands. He grabbed one of Doomsday's arms and pulled hard, tearing the arm off.

"roar!"

The severely damaged Doomsday broke free of its restraints and roared. Its bio-force field strengthened again, but it did not develop any ability to adapt to gravity. It simply strengthened its force field forcibly. Li Buying was thus certain that the Doomsday in front of him was definitely no match for him.

What? A doomsday without energy is nothing special—

Just as this thought crossed her mind, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the Kryptonian spaceship. Li Buying turned around and her face darkened. Lex Luthor had started the spaceship and was trying to launch an energy beam with the last bit of energy he had left. The target was naturally not Superman and Li Buying, but Doomsday itself.

A beam of light shot out, and Li Buying raised a finger, pointing it directly at Lex Luthor in the distance, while aiming her other hand at Doomsday. Just as she was about to strike, Superman's voice came from behind her: "Mega Attractor, please don't kill him!"

That's why I hate people who have a no-killing policy...

Li Buying, with a somewhat sinister look in his eyes, suppressed his murderous intent and twitched his index finger slightly. Suddenly, Luther, who had been looking excited, twisted all four limbs and fell to the ground. He didn't even know what had happened before he cried out in pain.

On the other side, the beam of light was about to hit Doomsday. At this moment, it had already sensed its own dangerous situation. Instinctively, the monster did not dodge the energy beam again, but instead ran towards the energy beam, wanting to absorb the energy.

Just as it was about to combine with the energy, an invisible force field once again blocked the power it craved, grabbed it and pulled it sharply to the other side, away from the ray's inevitable path.

The energy ray was about to travel further away. Considering the safety of the humans fleeing the central city 500 meters away, Superman stood in front of the energy ray, ready to withstand it. Li Buying sighed, grabbed Doomsday with one hand, and created a shield with the other to make the energy ray shoot at an angle.

The expected scorching heat did not arrive. Watching the ray flying diagonally into the sky, Superman looked gratefully at Li Buying. Without stopping, he approached the controlled Doomsday, wanting to tear off his other arm.

If nothing unexpected had happened, Doomsday should have died, but an unexpected event still occurred—

Several figures were approaching from a distance at high speed, carrying a large amount of electricity.
