Chapter 239 The Destroyer Sun Legion
Gotham Bay.
The seawater here is now completely covered by the chaotic tide, appearing terrifyingly black, and beneath this seawater, countless broken and twisted lives are being conceived.
"Hehe, that's it. It's consistent with previous research results. Life in this state is most suitable as a carrier for Doomsday spores."
Mebius released countless spores from her body. Unlike her meticulous fusion surgery using the Doomsday gene, these spores took root forcefully within the organisms, directly altering their genes by absorbing the body's nutrients.
The chaotic tides covering the sea are decreasing; they are part of Tiamat's body and the cradle where she nurtures new life.
When Tiamat appears, these chaotic tides will multiply at a rate that covers the entire Indian Ocean within 7 days. At this time, their numbers are actually constantly increasing, but the area they cover is decreasing.
When the Doomsday spores successfully take root in an organism's body, the organism's physical condition will no longer be under its own control. After becoming Doomsdays, they will synthesize massive amounts of energy within their bodies, just like Kryptonians.
However, before the transformation process is successful, the energy required will be forcibly extracted by the spores. The Chaos Tide, which was originally comparable to the entire Gotham City, has been reduced to only two square kilometers.
However, the returns from such a large investment were astonishing, with a large number of ferocious monsters covered in bone spurs and snake scales gradually climbing onto the shore.
They were all Doomsdays, weapons of war filled with a bloodlust. They quickly joined the battle, crushing tens of thousands of Shadow Demons the moment they appeared.
A large hole was torn in the encirclement formed by the Shadow Fiend army. The dead Shadow Fiends would dissipate like shadows, so the Doomsdays would not be hindered by the corpses and could quickly enter the deeper part of the battlefield. However, the Shadow Fiends they were about to face were far more formidable than those on the outer perimeter.
The Shadow Fiends were indeed caught off guard and lost many of their companions, but they themselves had no self-awareness and could not be considered living beings. They were more like moving energy blocks, so naturally they did not understand the emotion of fear.
If the anti-surveillance agents want them to fight, then they will definitely fight with all their might. So what if tens of thousands have been eliminated? They can just keep replenishing their numbers.
If you lose 10,000, just invest another 100,000, then a million, until you completely crush your opponent!
The Shadow Demons continued to gather on the shore, reducing the number of those fighting the heroes by more than half. Their figures darkened the entire sky, and their exact numbers were impossible to count.
Wonder Woman and the others' vision was also limited, and they could only hear the explosions and roars coming from the direction of the coast, where the monsters were fighting.
The Shadow Demons knew no fear and would not retreat; they only pressed forward. However, they now discovered that their usual tactics were ineffective. The enemy's individual combat strength surpassed theirs, and their numbers seemed endless.
They flew here from all over to replenish the troops on the battlefield, but the enemy did the same; scaly doomsdays kept crawling out of the sea, and this has not stopped to this day.
"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? To prepare for this battle, we've meticulously prepared a full 1 million Doomsdays. Perhaps we still can't outnumber you, but once the battle starts, the outcome is hard to predict~" Mebius said, standing on Tiamat's back and overlooking the battlefield.
“These Shadow Fiends are no longer a threat. It’s time to help Superman. Come on, Tiamat, cooperate with me.”
Doomsdays act on instinct and have little intelligence, and so do these specially made Doomsdays. To prevent Tiamat from developing any additional feelings for them, the biological prototypes were designed without any thinking ability from the very beginning.
There are many advantages to doing this. Since they lack the ability to think, they are not intelligent beings and can be used as weapons rather than subordinates or soldiers. On the other hand, their inability to think also makes it easier for them to give orders.
Tiamat is the prototype of their physical form, while Möbius is the source of the spores. The Doomsdays will instinctively tend to obey their commands, and for them, who have no intelligence, there is no such thing as overcoming instinct.
Mebius's command skills were terrible, but fortunately the Doomsday Legion was effective enough. A portion of them, under the cover of the other Doomsdays, successfully broke through the Shadow Fiend's encirclement and headed straight for the Anti-Monitor and Superman at the very center.
"You know what? The Anti-Life Equation aims for cosmic-level destruction, which is very efficient, but it lacks specificity. You can only watch the universe explode into fireworks from afar. But what I want is torture!"
The Anti-Monitor punched Superman in the chin, causing him to vomit blood and grimace in pain.
"Yes, that's it, that's the expression, but it's not enough. In addition to pain, there should also be fear!"
The Anti-Monitor completely overwhelmed Superman. He hadn't been using his full strength before, just as he said he craved torture, but now he was getting serious.
Superman knelt on the ground, badly injured, but his eyes showed only anger, not fear.
"Awooo!!!"
Just then, the Doomsday team arrived at the scene, spread their massive bodies and pounced, burying the Anti-Monitor directly into the crowd.
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Superman quickly stood up, the red light in his eyes constantly compressing and intensifying, the enormous energy even causing the veins on his face to glow scarlet.
"Ha!" The Omega Thermal Vision, after being charged up, was like a long river, directly encompassing the Anti-Monitor and the Doomsday Legion. Such energy could turn everything to ashes, even the Doomsday Legion.
"Your pathetic existence will be ended by Darkseid!" Superman said in a deep voice, then he immediately realized his mistake: "What did I do? I am Superman, not Darkseid. Even if it were Doomsday, I shouldn't have done that. I am Superman, I am Clark!"
Superman's mind is in turmoil; he's becoming brutal, evil, and even goes so far as to call himself Darkseid. Clearly, he's been corrupted by the Omega effect.
Darkseid had mastered the Omega effect for far too long, so long that almost everyone took it for granted, so long that no one understood this power better than him, so long that he had merged his soul and mind with the Omega effect.
Superman's beliefs were unwavering, but he still couldn't ignore the influence of this factor, and his self-perception began to become distorted.
……
Meanwhile, aboard a spaceship on the moon, members of the Ultimate Alliance were observing the battle on Earth through instruments.
Chapter 240 A Loose Alliance
“Another woman who can turn into a monster. The boss is no wonder he’s an alien; his fetishes are beyond our comprehension,” Johnny Quick said, staring at Tiamat on the screen.
He had always found it strange that since Superb had officially appeared in the public eye for so many years, he had never had any ambiguous relationship with any woman.
Now he understood that the root of the problem was that women on Earth simply did not meet the Superpower's aesthetic standards; only women with both human and monster forms could catch the Superpower's eye.
"Aren't you afraid that Superpower will hear you saying that?" Deathstorm asked.
“Uh…” Johnny Quick shrank back, but he quickly remembered the current situation and resumed his carefree demeanor.
"What are you afraid of? Superpower is probably still on that Apokolips planet and can't come back yet. Besides, even if he did come back to Earth, look how fierce the fighting is down there. He wouldn't have time to care about us."
Death Storm nodded. He was right about that. The current situation was far from optimistic. The entire planet was teetering on the brink of destruction. The two monster legions could easily crush all of humanity, and the gods at the center were even more outrageous. Even if their attacks missed even once, the energy level of those attacks could easily destroy everything.
In fact, the death storm was quite strange. Earth survived such a fierce attack; its luck was simply incredible. Under such circumstances, no one would care about any gossip.
"Um, are we just going to watch from here? Or should we move a little further?" The Ringholder asked, clutching his ring and trembling.
“My ring can detect what’s happening on Earth, and it keeps reminding me to go as far away as possible.”
"So that's what you thought too. Of course we should run. If we don't run now, when will we?" Johnny Quick got excited when this was mentioned: "If we wait for Superman to come back, he might force us to join the war. We're not those two monsters."
"Ring-wielder, can you hack into a spaceship with your damned ring? If we could find an alien planet, restore the city to its original state, and put it back in, we could continue living our carefree lives."
Johnny Quick only wanted to enjoy himself and had no intention of fighting. He had wanted to run away for a long time, but he didn't say anything before because he was afraid that his teammates would have different ideas from him. He thought it would be useless to say anything, but now that others also had this intention, he naturally had to give it a try.
“But, Superpower told us to stay here and wait for his orders…” said the Ringholder.
Death Storm was also ready to lay it all out, pointing at the big screen and saying, "Look at the Anti-Monitor and that guy called Superman, look at their power, isn't each one above Superman? He hasn't even shown up yet, maybe he's just barely able to protect himself, do we still need to listen to him?"
“But…” Quan Jie wanted to refute, but he was too weak. He was fine with ordinary people, but he couldn’t even say a tough word in front of his teammates who were also superpowered.
Neither Johnny Quick nor Deathstorm can pilot a spaceship. The only one with any connection to this is the Power Ring, which can be used as a supercomputer and might even be able to hack into the spaceship's operating system. Therefore, both of them are strongly urging the Ring user to join them.
The three were arguing and couldn't reach an agreement when Night Owl opened the door and walked in.
"Are you discussing escaping?" Night Owl asked.
Johnny Quick felt a sudden fear of being exposed, but then he remembered something: the guy in front of him was just an ordinary person, and he could take the initiative. If the other party joined him, fine; if not, he could just kill him.
“Yes, that’s right,” Johnny Quick said matter-of-factly.
Night Owl said, "Fool."
"What did you say!?"
“I said you’re an idiot,” Night Owl repeated.
"Huh? You think you're so great? How dare you talk to me like that? I'm not going to follow any rules anymore!"
Johnny Quick transformed into a blur, attempting to decapitate Night Owl, but just as his hand was 10 centimeters away from Night Owl, he was grabbed by another person.
She was a disheveled, fit woman, an Amazon.
Johnny Quick's physical abilities weren't particularly impressive. After being grabbed by the Amazons, he felt as if his arm was about to be crushed. He dared not make any rash moves, having already lost an arm when he encountered Zamsa, and he didn't want to go through that again.
“I call you idiots because you don’t understand the current situation at all.” Night Owl walked step by step to the screen and said, “Run? Where can you run to? If the Anti-Monitor wins, no universe will be safe, just like our previous universe.”
"Only by facing him and defeating him can we be truly safe. Besides, you only see the danger, not the opportunity here."
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Deathstorm asked. Being called a fool didn't feel good, but he was more concerned about what Night Owl was saying.
"See that guy called Superman? He wasn't like this from the beginning. He became so strong because he's filled with divine power. This kind of thing is rare to see normally, but now there's a chance to seize it and become a god."
Night Owl's words were very tempting, even if it was just empty promises. Who wouldn't want to be a god? Especially after witnessing the Anti-Monitor's performance, everyone, including Johnny Quick, quieted down and listened carefully to what Night Owl would say next.
"My allies and I will travel to Earth to seize the power of the gods. We will then become the new gods. This opportunity is now before you. Do you want to join us?"
“I’ll join,” Deathstorm said directly; the divine power was simply too tempting for him.
“Ah, okay, I’ll join too.” Johnny Quick relented. He actually still preferred to run away, but the situation was beyond his control. If he didn’t join, Night Owl probably wouldn’t let him go either, just like when the Ultimate Alliance was formed.
The Ringwright appeared even more timid in front of Night Owl, but he said, "You, the allies you're talking about aren't the Amazons, are they? I remember they're prisoners of the Superpowers. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just release them?"
Night Owl stared silently at the Ring-Bearer for a while, until the other man felt uneasy under his gaze.
Before the other party could ask another question, Night Owl spoke up: "Huorong, you should understand the current situation, so do you want to join?"
The Power-Willed One looked around in confusion. The Night Owl's words were directed at him, but he was not called Calamity, and he did not find any other presences around him.
"Night Owl, who are you with—ugh!!"
The man with the ring suddenly cried out in pain halfway through his sentence. The veins that had been around the ring spread rapidly, taking up half of his body.
“I can’t crack the Superpower’s encryption of the spaceship, and I can’t get very far even if I wanted to escape, so your suggestion is indeed very suitable. I’ll join,” said the Ring of Power, no, the Ring of Calamity.
Chapter 241 The Return
The Anti-Monitor's offensive was finally suppressed. All one hundred million mass-produced Doomsdays had now joined the battle. Although they were still outnumbered by the Shadow Fiends, they were still Kryptonian creatures and their combat power should not be underestimated.
With the Shadow Demon army no longer a threat, Wonder Woman and others were able to free up their resources to help Superman, especially Batman, whose involvement was crucial.
Superman is still somewhat different from the Anti-Monitor, but he has already managed to gain the power to injure the Anti-Monitor. However, he is too busy defending to launch an effective attack. Batman, on the other hand, can directly tell him the appropriate attack route so that he can use his full strength.
"Superman, unleash your full heat vision!"
Batman directed the Justice League to conduct guerrilla warfare around the area, successfully creating an opening for the Anti-Monitor, and that was the moment for Superman to step in.
The surging energy struck the Anti-Monitor without reservation. This time, the Anti-Monitor was caught off guard and hit directly. The crimson light illuminated the entire city, and almost half the world could see the aftershocks of this attack.
Superman continuously unleashed the Omega Heat Vision until he reached his limit and stopped. His eyes were in excruciating pain; if he continued, it would feel like his entire eyeballs were being burned.
"Did it work?" Superman asked with his eyes closed. He desperately wanted the war to end quickly; otherwise, even if they won in the end, he didn't know whether Superman or Darkseid would survive.
However, things didn't go as planned, and Batman replied, "No, it's not over yet."
As the smoke cleared, the Anti-Monitor reappeared from the flames, a large scorch mark on his chest from which blood seeped, only to be burned to ashes by the intense heat. This cycle repeated multiple times until only the scorch mark remained.
"That was quite interesting. You successfully injured me. Congratulations! But how many more times can you pull off an attack like that?" The Anti-Monitor, though injured, didn't care. On the contrary, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.
"Oh, looks like I won't be able to come even once." The Anti-Monitor said, looking at Superman with his eyes closed, "Then die, with the honor of successfully wounding me!"
