I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

Logically, they should have been evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand. However, the current situation is that the Parademons have completely suppressed the Shadowfiends.

The Shadowfiends arrived via a portal alongside the Anti-Monitors and have continued to increase their numbers ever since. However, even so, there is still a limit to how many of them can appear compared to the Parademons.

This is Apokolips, the largest gathering place of Parademons in the entire universe. Unlike Shadow Demons, who need to go through a portal to reach the battlefield, Parademons can use their full power from the very beginning.

"Damn it." The Anti-Monitor cursed, and then the Dark Walker pierced another hole in his body. If this continued, he might not only fail to kill Darkseid, but he himself might also perish on Apokolips.

……

"Haha!" Steppenwolf, who had just been retorted by Karl, laughed heartily again: "See? The anti-gods are about to fail, and now it's your turn!"

“He might fail; the final outcome is still uncertain,” Carl corrected.

Steppenwolf said, "Are you really blind to the situation or just saying this on purpose? The Anti-Gods can't defeat Darkseid and the Darkwalker, and all his Shadowfiends are suppressed. He has no other strength left. Tell me, what can he possibly use to turn the tide?"

“You’re right, the anti-surveillance agents have run out of cards to play,” Carlton said. “But that’s assuming we don’t help them.”

"What did you say?" Steppenwolf was shocked, almost doubting his ears. That was an anti-god, an anti-god who would destroy the universe. As a life form within the universe, he actually wanted to help the other party. Anti-gods were not beings who would remember favors.

"Don't worry, you heard me right. I'm going to help the anti-surveillance activists."

Karl naturally wanted the Anti-Monitor dead, but not now, not here, because if Darkseid destroyed the Anti-Monitor, the Anti-Life Equation within him would be taken by the Anti-Monitor.

Darkseid has been pursuing that power, and Karl has no doubt that the other party will fuse with the Anti-Life Equation on the spot. If Darkseid succeeds, the people on Apokolips will surely not be able to escape.

“Mebius, let’s go,” Karl said.

"Don't even think about it!" Steppenwolf and Nemesis Labona couldn't understand Karl's idea, but since the enemy wanted to do it, they naturally had to stop him.

But can they stop it?

Labona's ribbon razor was still wrapped around Mebius's hand. Upon hearing this, she quickly pulled the ribbon tighter and said to Karl, "Give up resistance immediately, or who knows what might happen to this little guy."

The razor cut through his clothes and penetrated deep into his skin; Mebius frowned, looking as if he might cry at any moment.

Labonna immediately revealed a confident smile. According to her understanding, although the Kryptonians on Earth possess great power, they always care about the weak and protect those creatures, even willing to put themselves in danger.

"Waaaaah, I'm so scared, please save me."

"Did you hear that? Surrender now, or I'll kill her."

Carl was catching Steppenwolf's axe with one hand, clearly getting serious. Hearing Labona's words, he casually replied, "Oh, then go ahead and kill him."

“What! Don’t you believe me? I’m not the kind of person who would go easy on cubs,” Labona emphasized again.

However, Karl didn't even bother with the opponent this time. He directly punched Steppenwolf in the chest, almost shattering the opponent's entire armor into pieces, without the slightest hesitation.

Labona was dumbfounded. She wanted to struggle a little more, but when she turned her head again, she saw that Mebius was no longer afraid at all.

"Tch, how boring," Möbius said with a sullen face.

Labona instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately activated all the undead curses on the ribbon, but it was too late; the curse had already been adapted to.

Mebius's body began to be covered in black shadows and continued to grow larger, soon becoming a half-human, half-snake, covered in bone spurs.

“Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon,” Mebius said condescendingly.

"What kind of monster are you?"

"Monster? Big sister, it seems you can't understand the beauty of this body either. But that's alright, it's only temporary, because I will try to understand you on the operating table!"

As Mebius's giant claw descended, Labonna immediately leaped away, but she was a fraction too slow; her legs were struck, and she collapsed to the ground.

She could no longer dodge, and Mebius's next attack had already been launched. In her last moments, she still wanted to ask others for help, but when she looked over...

What she saw was Steppenwolf, his chest pierced by Karl, utterly dead. She was wrong. Although they were both from Earth, this Kryptonian was not merciful, or rather, his mercy was not reserved for his enemies.

Bang! Labonna and Steppenwolf are dead.

Mebius preserved part of the other's tissue with the Yellow Lantern Ring, then twisted his snake tail and leaned closer, saying, "What you did just now was truly hurtful. What do you mean by killing whenever you want?"

“Because you’ll be fine anyway, won’t you?” Carl retorted.

“That’s true, but girls always like to hear nice things,” Mebius said as she cleared out the Parademons. She was now a big target and had attracted quite a few enemies.

“Okay, you have a point, but let’s get down to business first,” Carl said.

"Hmm." Mebius said a couple of sentences and then stopped, after all, there was still a formidable enemy at hand.

"You said you wanted to help the anti-surveillance activists, how?" Mebius asked.

“You keep blocking the Parademons, I’ll contact the Justice League first.” Karl can use his super hearing, but there are just too many people on Apokolips right now, and the noise is too loud. Rather than forcing himself to distinguish the noise and then find his way there, it’s more convenient to use mechanical communication.

Karl's communication was quickly answered.

"Where are you now?" Carl asked first.

The Flash answered first: "I'm on the battlefield right now, with Green Lantern and Wonder Woman."

Hal said, "Darkseid and his forces are close to a decisive victory, but we can't let them win right away. If their losses aren't significant enough, they might retaliate against Earth."

Well, Carl was just thinking about how to persuade the Justice League to join the war, which saved him some trouble. But it sounds like Superman isn't on the big battlefield; he's probably in trouble.

Carl adjusted the communicator frequency and entered Superman's personal channel, and the other party quickly responded.

"Is that Superman?" Superman's slightly unsteady voice rang out: "Great, I might need a little help on my end."

Chapter 229 Support

Superman is being carried away by Shazam, and he is weakening faster than expected.

“Superman, this isn’t normal. Even without the sun, you shouldn’t have lost your powers so quickly. You can’t even fly anymore,” Shazam said to Superman, whom he was pulling along, while dodging the Parademons.

Superman thought about it and realized that this was indeed very unusual. He had fought in environments without sunlight before, but his superpowers had not malfunctioned at all until the end of the battle.

But he has only been away from the sun for a short time now, so he shouldn't be weak at all. If he can't even last this long, how can he move around at night? Does he have to go through the process of getting weak every night?

Superman looked up at the red sky of Apokolips and had a guess in his mind. He couldn't be sure, but he didn't have a better explanation at the moment.

“Maybe it’s the red sun. The sky on Apokolips is naturally red, so I didn’t pay attention to it. But now it seems that red sunlight might have been added to it, which would cancel out the yellow solar energy in my body,” Superman said.

"Oh, what do we do then?" Shazam said anxiously. The divine power he borrowed contained the wisdom of Solomon, but he himself was still a child and easily fell into a state of tension. Moreover, the divine power could not take over and make decisions for him.

Superman, now in danger, reassured him, "Keep running, don't let the Parademons catch us. I just notified Superman, he should be here soon... Be careful!"

Superman was speaking when he suddenly shouted, and a dagger appeared out of thin air, heading straight for Shazam's face.

Superman's warning came a little too late. Although Shazam flipped over the moment he heard it, the dagger still struck him, landing on the inside of his collarbone, very close to his neck.

Shazam's flight path became unstable, and a group of Parademons took the opportunity to pounce on him, making it even harder for him to fly properly. He soon wobbled and crashed to the ground.

Shazam clutched the wound on his shoulder, gritting his teeth, "Damn it, this dagger is so annoying. It comes and goes without a trace and disappears so quickly, giving us no chance to destroy it. If it hits a vital spot..."

What he feared most came to pass. Cantor would never let such a good opportunity slip by. The dagger that had just returned to his hand was thrown out again, this time aimed at Superman's heart.

Shazam was already injured and his fighting power was reduced. He was surrounded by the Parademons and couldn't break free. Superman's remaining energy was also insufficient for him to see the trajectory of the Mother Box dagger, so he had no way to dodge it.

Kantor was overjoyed. The Kryptonians who had failed to bring Apokolips with others were finally going to die at his hands. This would be one of the most memorable people Kantor had ever killed.

However, at that moment, a broad, thick hand caught the mother box dagger that was shooting out.

Blue uniform, red cape—if it weren't for the different emblem on his chest, Cantor would have thought Superman had learned the ability to create clones.

“Another Kryptonian, but it doesn’t matter, you can’t save them anyway,” Cantor said confidently.

They did indeed modify the environment of Apokolips, and now the light reflected from its atmosphere is equivalent to that of the red sun.

If it were anyone else, Kantor might have been a little nervous, but since it's a Kryptonian, there's nothing to worry about. The Red Sun will take his place, and soon the Kryptonian will be too weak to fight. At that point, let alone saving others, he might not even be able to save himself.

"Be careful of his dagger; it could appear anywhere at any time," Superman warned.

“It’s alright, he won’t have a chance to use it,” Carl said.

The dagger did indeed disappear through the sonic boom before he tried to exert his strength, but a weapon is ultimately just a weapon; the key is the user. Besides, this wasn't some kind of world-destroying artifact.

Karl suddenly sprang into action, charging directly towards Kantor at a speed that even the New Gods couldn't react to.

However, Cantor was prepared. He was holding the Mother Box dagger that had been transferred back. The dagger had always only been used to transfer itself for sneak attacks, but that didn't mean it could only do that. The dagger was both a weapon and a Mother Box.

Facing the menacing Karl, Kantor immediately moved himself away with the Mother Box dagger, causing Karl to miss his target. The Kryptonians' combat strength was undeniable, so he had planned to delay from the start, giving Apokolips' red sun enough time to take effect before launching his attack.

Karl's first attack failed, so he did not act rashly again. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited for Kantor to appear. Even if the other party was deliberately trying to hide, it didn't matter. This was Apokolips, the other party's base. Kantor couldn't just watch Karl wreak havoc here.

Kanto reappeared on a distant high-rise building, holding a dagger, as he emerged from the sonic tunnel.

Cantor prepared to observe the situation, but in that instant, a red ray shot out. The sound of the blast channel was the best positioning medium for Karl, and Cantor's right arm was completely severed by the thermal vision.

If Superman were to fight, the power of the heat vision would be suppressed to the point of injuring but not killing, and it would cause even less damage to the New God.

But Karl was different. He used all his strength. This time, his heat vision reached its maximum in both speed and power, and he was determined to eliminate his opponent.

The same thing happened next; Karl charged towards Canto at full speed, his killing intent palpable.

Cantor was shocked and shouted, "Mother Box, take me away!"

"As you command, Kanto." The dagger responded, but now it was directly transferring Kanto along with it. The right hand was cut off and the dagger left Kanto's body, which meant that the portal could not directly cover it, meaning that the transfer speed would be a little slower than before.

Most of the time, this difference in time is insignificant, but now it's different. When the Kryptonians' speed is fully unleashed, they can rival the fastest.

The daggers were very close, but it was Karl, who flew in from afar, who first made contact with Kanto. Kanto was taken directly into space, and only then did the sonic boom channel slowly open.

Carl, holding Cantor, floated in space. He was inclined to kill him outright, but Superman's voice kept reaching his ears from the ground, urging him to show mercy. So Carl simply knocked Cantor unconscious.

Carl's goal is clear: killing is just a more convenient means. In any case, the death of the other party is not a pity. However, Superman is still needed to become a god to stabilize reality. Leaving a grudge here would be more detrimental to the overall goal.

Carl casually tossed the unconscious Cantor into the depths of space, then returned to Earth and grabbed the Mother Box dagger.

This weapon is very sturdy and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means, but Kanto disappeared too quickly and did not leave enough instructions, meaning the dagger will not move on its own.

Clang! Under Karl's continued pressure, the dagger broke in two.

Chapter 230 The Birth of Death

Carl and Superman reunite with Shazam, working together to eliminate the Parademons while also explaining Cantor's whereabouts.

"Great! Let him drift in space forever!" Shazam said happily. Kantor had stabbed him so many times, so naturally he didn't want him to have an easy time. As a good person, he wouldn't kill someone so easily. The current situation made him feel neither guilty nor happy.

However, after shouting that, Shazam had another question: "By the way, why didn't you become weak here? Did you use some special method? Can you use it on Superman too? He can't fly anymore."

Shazam had never been to Earth 3 directly. He had only heard about the Ultimate Alliance from other members and roughly understood that the people on that Earth were like replicas of them. However, after asking around and finding out that there was no corresponding Shazam in that world, his interest waned considerably, and he didn't delve any deeper.

“Superman’s power comes from a different source than mine, so he probably can’t help me in this regard,” Superman said.

Shazam was somewhat disappointed, but at this moment Karl spoke up, "No, I have a way to restore your fighting ability."
