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

Extreme hatred coupled with extreme power, which intensified over the following decades, led Bruce to become the Dawn Lantern after killing the Green Lantern Corps who dared to stop him.

At the same time, the lifespan of his universe came to an end, and only Dawn Lamp survived with the help of others.

This is the story of the Dawn of the Ghostly Lantern universe, and the name of that universe is—Earth-32.

Yes, this doesn't happen in any of the new 52-plus universes, but rather in a completely new and bizarre location, the Negative Number Universe.

The Wall of Origin, from the normal universes 0 to 52, forms the multiverse we know today.

However, this number is clearly not all of the universes. Below the normal universes, in the cold, dark, and hopeless Forgotten Lands, there exist even more universes, and in terms of sheer numbers, those are the majority.

A place called the Dark Multiverse.

Chapter 300 Beheading

Carl knew that the Dawn Lantern definitely came from the Dark Multiverse, and most of the others were probably the same, otherwise they wouldn't be mixed up together.

These guys aren't normal. The universes they live in have major flaws. Perhaps these flaws didn't represent evil in the past, but the Dark Multiverse has long since gone mad under the influence of a mastermind.

Carl wasn't surprised by their attempt to seize the Multiverse Tower, as that was how the original storyline had unfolded.

However, he still had a question in his mind: why did the other side only send such a small force? Did they think they could take him down with just a few men? He was absolutely wrong!

“Grid, how much functionality does the ship have left? Is it still capable of combat?” Karl asked Grid, the AI ​​that was currently controlling most of the ship’s area.

"Sir, the explosion just now destroyed 15% of the spaceship's systems, but the most important parts have been reinforced with extra protection, so the combat systems are intact."

“That means we need to be prepared to kill them all without exception,” Karl said in a deep voice.

“I’m afraid that won’t work, sir.” Grid declined, and before Karl could ask, he explained, “There’s a Kryptonian in the enemy team who has been transformed into an energy being. All the energy emitted by the ship will be absorbed by the enemy. Dr. Mebius also lost to him.”

"You should have said so sooner!"

Karl saw through deep space and quickly located Möbius's position.

The battle there was over. Mebius was covered in wounds and almost unconscious. Superman, who had been intent on killing, was not recovering quickly enough.

Upon seeing this, Karl immediately shot out towards that direction.

"Hey, Dawn Lantern, why did you remove all the monsters? There are still several Doomsdays left." Black-striped Superman asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Dawn Lantern who had escaped from the spaceship. He was too focused on the two battlefields in the open and hadn't paid much attention to what was happening inside the spaceship.

The monster army was entirely maintained by the will of the Dawn Lantern. In the situation just now, all his thoughts were focused on saving his own life, and he had no energy left to create monsters. He had been afraid of encountering this situation before, which was why he thought of sending Blue Superman to retrieve the Multiverse Tower. Unfortunately, the other party could not overcome his psychological trauma.

"Superman is back. Stop him right now. I'll get the solar transmitter ready," Dawn Lantern commanded as he returned somewhat disheveled to Black-Striped Superman's side.

No matter how strong Karl is, in Dawn's Ghost Lantern's view, as long as the Sunlight Emitter is built, he can easily defeat the opponent.

Just like Black-striped Superman, who is actually not much weaker than Blue Superman in terms of fighting power, it was only after Blue Superman absorbed a large amount of energy that the gap between the two widened.

However, in terms of performance, Blue Superman did much more than Black-striped Superman. The most fundamental reason for this was that the battlefield was shrouded in trace amounts of Kryptonite radiation by these degraded Doomsdays.

Kryptonians' weaknesses are truly fatal. The Dawn Lantern understands that just as a normal Kryptonian fears Kryptonite, Kael fears sunlight just as much.

"Watch out, he's coming!" Dawn's Ghost Lamp suddenly shouted.

"Hmph, watch me." Black-striped Superman sneered. The battlefield environment was making him feel extremely frustrated, and now it was time for a proper fight. With that, he pounced on Karl.

"Get out of here!"

Carl had no time to slowly test Superman's abilities. He held his left hand horizontally, as steady as a mountain, and easily blocked the Black-Striped Superman's attack.

Just as Black-Striped Superman had managed to shake off his bad mood, Karl's right fist came hurtling through the air and struck Black-Striped Superman squarely in the cheek.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Black-Striped Superman felt as if an entire planet had smashed into his face. An unimaginable force sent him flying backward, leaving behind a few teeth floating in the air.

The Dawn Lantern was stunned. How could there be such a big difference between two Kryptonians?

Having experienced numerous battles and come into contact with several cosmic-level powers, Karl's cells had undergone a certain degree of evolution. He had suspected this before, and this time it was confirmed that he was indeed superior to ordinary Kryptonians.

Of course, it's impossible to say that the other Kryptonians had no ability to resist at all. Dawn Lantern is mistaken. That attack just now did not seriously injure Black-Striped Superman; it only looked impressive.

Dawn Lantern wasn't a Kryptonian and didn't understand just how strong a Kryptonian's physique was without any countermeasures. Black-striped Superman was at most caught off guard.

In deep space, Black-Striped Superman straightened his dislocated jaw, and his powerful regenerative abilities allowed the injury to heal at a visible speed.

However, Karl did not give him a chance to recover his strength. Instead, he immediately began to kill him. He crushed a piece of kryptonite, absorbed the powder into his palm, and then slashed it horizontally with his palm as if it were a knife.

"you!"

Black-striped Superman seemed to want to say something, but his words could only remain in his heart forever. With a soft sound, his head was severed from his neck; he had been killed by Karl with a single palm strike.

Kryptonite alone was enough to weaken Superman to the extreme, and Karl's attributes were all superior to those of Black-striped Superman, so it is not surprising that he was able to achieve such results.

Superman in the Dark Universe is still Superman. They may be evil, but their physical structure is basically based on the Superman template of the main universe. Superman is a variant and a minority. Kryptonians who rely solely on consuming Kryptonite to obtain energy are only found in the family of Superman from Earth-3 N52. Therefore, Kryptonite is very likely to be effective.

The headless corpse of Black-Striped Superman drifted into the distance. After his death, only the Dawn Lantern stood in Karl's way.

Taking advantage of the brief moment Karl was in action, Dawn's Ghost Lantern had already completed the weapon's creation.

"Take this, Superpower! A solar blast 1 times stronger!" Dawnlight roared, Karl's ferocious performance forcing him to use this method to solidify his beliefs.

"I don't have time to play with you!"

I just used the Kryptonians' weakness to kill the enemy, I won't make the same mistake twice, that would be too stupid.

Karl maintained his flight speed and simultaneously reached to his waist to activate the kryptonite radiation generator he had created in the previous world.

The Dawn Lantern's attack arrived as expected. This move had little physical damage; its aim was simply to create a dazzling light, a light more radiant than any real star, leaving a trail of brilliance wherever it went.

People often use the phrase "shining brightly for thousands of miles" to describe the brilliance of something, but the light released by the Dawn Lantern at this moment covered an area of ​​far more than ten thousand miles, even millions of miles! Even a small part of the Wall of Origin was illuminated and shone brightly.

Such power is entirely designed to counter Karl's weakness to sunlight.

Unfortunately, Karl had already entered an immune state, and his cells no longer actively accepted external radiation. This so-called vulnerability attack was nothing more than a firework to him now.

Chapter 301 Counterattack

Near the Wall of Origin.

Mebius floated weakly in space, unable to move an inch.

It's not that she died, but during the previous battle, Blue Superman damaged her brain, causing her to be unable to control her actions and even her thinking to be intermittent.

"Where am I? Why can't I see anything?"

"Oh, right, it seems like I've lost my eyes. I need to get them back quickly."

"I've got it! I see it! That golden one is the Wall of Origin, we can't touch it. That blue one is the enemy, we have to defeat him!"

"Wait, what is this? It's so bright and warm... There seems to be someone there, but I can't see clearly. Is he emitting light?"

"He actually drove the enemy away, he's coming, damn it, I can't see him at all... But, even though I can't see him clearly, why do I feel so at ease? My mind is so confused..."

……

After ignoring the flashbang from the Dawn Lantern, Karl arrived near the Wall of Origin. After temporarily repelling the Blue Superman, he retrieved several Honkai Energy Crystals.

For the Doomsday Gene, any energy can be used to replenish physical strength. However, the physique fused by Mebius has a particular preference for Honkai energy, and Honkai energy itself is a very high-level energy. When Karl left the Honkai world, he collected a lot of it to solve the problem of charging the Void Treasury, and now it is just right to use it.

"Mebius, Mebius, wake up," Karl called softly after seeing that Mebius's wounds had almost healed.

"Hmm~" Mebius hummed softly, wagging her tail, seemingly having regained her mobility.

“Are you glowing?” she said.

“It seems that only the surface wound has healed; the brain’s cognitive functions will need some time to return to normal,” Karl frowned.

Upon hearing this, Mebius realized he had said something foolish and his mind immediately cleared.

“It’s Karl. If you had been any later, you would have only seen his corpse,” Möbius said.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault," Karl said sincerely.

He did reflect on his actions, realizing that he had left behind far too few defensive measures when he left. He knew that the next major event after the Darkseid War would not affect this area, so he became somewhat complacent and almost caused a disaster.

From a plot perspective, the crisis in the Dark Multiverse is still some time away, at least until after the main universe restarts.

But now these people have appeared ahead of time and have directly targeted him, so it seems we can't completely trust the plot. In short, he bears some responsibility for the danger that Möbius and Tiamat will face.

Mebius himself didn't seem to care much; what he had just done wasn't a question, but rather a form of 'whining'.

"What does this have to do with you? Just make them pay the price. Those energy-based life forms, and the Lantern Ring that counters the Lantern Spirits, are perfect guinea pigs," Möbius said.

“Of course, none of them will survive,” Karl nodded.

Mebius immediately revealed a pure yet dangerous smile; she would surely be beautiful in her normal form.

"Speaking of them, do you know where these guys came from? They don't seem to know each other very well, and they look like they're from different places."

"They are from the Dark Multiverse, subordinates of a being called the Barbatos Dragon. I'll explain the details to you later, but in short, they are not good people. Let's deal with these people first."

Karl and Mebius exchanged a few words, and due to time constraints, the two refocused their attention on the enemy and flew back towards the spaceship.

Mebius had already evolved the ability to fly, but his speed wasn't ideal. After fighting the speed-savvy Blue Superman, he was on the verge of death, but he did evolve in that aspect and could keep up with the Kryptonians' super speed.

Doomsday's ability to evolve is so exaggerated; as long as it's not completely dead, it can always recover and become even stronger, making people wonder how Superman managed to kill it.

At this moment, Blue Superman had already arrived at the spaceship ahead of the other two. He saw Karl and Mebius chasing after him and let out a smug laugh.

"Hahaha, you fool, did you really think I retreated so easily just now because I was afraid of you? To be honest, you couldn't even touch me. Now the Multiverse Tower is mine!"

Blue Superman was originally the person who was supposed to collect the tower, but his psychological trauma from Doomsday made him back out.

However, now only a few Degraded Doomsdays remain on the battlefield, and due to the recent Green Lantern explosion, they have all been blown far away from the spaceship. Blue Superman took advantage of this and chose to collect the Space Tower instead of fighting Carl.

The undefended spaceship was floating right in front of him, which made him even more smug, because he knew that even if the spaceship chose to defend, it would be useless; the energy shield was actually helping him.

"You're mine now!" Blue Superman lunged at the spaceship. Even Carl was still some distance away from him, and no one could stop him.

Boom!

When Blue Superman was only 50 meters away from the spaceship, he suddenly felt his head hit something. He touched it and found an invisible barrier.

"What is this?" Blue Superman asked, puzzled.

With that stop, Karl successfully caught up and said without any surprise, "It seems to be something called True Dragon Barrier. I thought I wouldn't need it at all, but it's quite suitable for dealing with you."

Before Karl decided to rescue Möbius, his spaceship was already riddled with holes. Knowing that the enemy's target was the Multiverse Tower inside the spaceship, he certainly couldn't just leave like that; he had to take some precautions.

The grid had already told him that ordinary energy barriers were useless and would be easily absorbed by Blue Superman; only special energies with very poor compatibility with Kryptonians could be effective.

At that moment, Carl remembered an item he had obtained from Spider when he first used the chat group to travel through time, an item that could release a True Dragon Barrier.
