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

That was something he extorted from the Dragon King along with the space box that Karl often used. Its main function was to suppress outward magic power, but Karl's extremely high magic immunity meant that he hardly ever needed this barrier, and he only took it out now.

"Tch, it's just a thin layer of paper. Even if I'm not good at magic, this level of barrier can't stop me at all!"

Blue Superman wasn't exaggerating; magic is indeed quite effective against him, but it depends on the degree and how much magic power is used. If the difference in strength is too great, he can simply use brute force to overcome all magic.

boom!

However, before Blue Superman could make a move, Carl punched him in the face first, breaking Blue Superman's intangibility ability with his thick magic gauntlets.

Chapter 302 Blue Superman's Defeat

After realizing he could be hit, Blue Superman quickly retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Carl.

"I'd almost forgotten how useful super strength is. It's amazing brute force... Speaking of which, that guy died way too quickly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to fight Superman." Blue Superman thought to himself as he was being chased by Karl.

He felt it was a pity; if Black-striped Superman were still around, he could have made him the main force.

The simulated sunlight he just experienced did not bring him any improvement. He lost his physical body but gained the ability to absorb most of the energy. However, in return, the amount of energy that Blue Superman absorbed was the same, and he could no longer generate tremendous power from a single ray of sunlight.

Black-striped Superman is different; such intense sunlight is enough for his cells to temporarily overcome the weaknesses of Kryptonite and gain a significant power boost.

Unfortunately, he was killed by Karl immediately, and even if he absorbed more sunlight, he could not possibly come back to life from the state of being decapitated.

"Is all you can do is hide? You won't get the Multiverse Tower you want by just doing that." Karl stopped chasing after them for a while.

Blue Superman no longer possesses the strength derived from muscles, but the transmissibility of his energy allows him to easily exceed 300 times the speed of light when flying, making it too troublesome to chase him.

Moreover, he didn't want to stray too far from the spaceship. The True Heart Barrier was merely a magical artifact, not even a divine artifact, and couldn't truly stop these people's attacks. Releasing it was only to buy Karl those few seconds needed to return and provide reinforcements.

Karl wanted to kill them outright, but in this situation, restraining his anger was the most effective course of action.

Blue Superman looked terrible; with Karl stopping like that, his only advantage had vanished.

Because no matter how he flies, his final destination is always the interior of the spaceship. As long as the other side is guarding that place, he will have to take the initiative to approach it; it's only a matter of time.

"Don't worry, I'll go get it. You'd better keep it safe until then," Blue Superman said mockingly, but in reality, he had no confidence at all and hesitated to make his move.

Karl didn't leave the spaceship, and Blue Superman didn't launch an attack. The battle reached a stalemate for a time, almost becoming a contest of endurance, until the Dawn Lantern arrived and broke this fragile balance.

He has now retreated back into the stealth ship to avoid another attack by Karl.

The Dawn Lamp was actually in pretty good condition. Karl was on his way to save Mebius, so his fight with him was very brief. Although it cost him his precious furnace, the ring had just been charged once, so the issue of its battery life wouldn't be apparent in the short term.

As the stealth spaceship approached, the Dawn Lantern used its ring to emit a specific energy frequency to communicate with Blue Superman.

Having lost his super vision and hearing, Blue Superman gained keen energy senses in return, enabling him to directly receive the sound transmissions from the Dawn Lantern.

"We need a breakthrough."

“But he’s clearly figured we can’t give up the Multiverse Tower. What if he insists on staying there?” Blue Superman sent back a signal at the same frequency.

“I have to admit, this Superpower is much stronger than I expected; even sunlight has no effect on it,” Dawn Lantern replied. “However, it still has weaknesses, the same weaknesses that so-called good people have.”

You mean?

"That's right, it's that half-human, half-snake monster! You might not know this, but when the Sunlight Tactics failed, I was almost killed by it. However, it gave up chasing me to protect that monster. We can start from there."

“His tastes are really strange, but fine, let’s do it this way.”

Blue Superman and Dawn Lantern have a plan, while Carl and Mebius have just finished communicating using magical items. After agreeing on their plan, the battle begins again.

The fastest blue Superman transformed into a streak of light, flying in an arc, attempting to directly attack the spaceship.

With Carl around, this plan was obviously impossible. His speed was only slightly slower than Blue Superman's. He could manage a straight-line escape, but a long-distance raid would not be able to break through Carl's defenses.

After a few clashes, Blue Superman was unsurprisingly sent flying. However, at that moment, the stealth spaceship arrived and seamlessly joined the battle.

The stealth spaceship is specially designed for impact; it has a sharp bow and a narrow, elongated hull, making it look like a giant swordfish.

The material of this thing is quite interesting. Karl's vision will pass right through it, whether he has X-ray vision or not. It's a very suitable tool for sneak attacks.

However, the premise is that there cannot be anything of any other material inside, otherwise it will be like this: Karl cannot see the spaceship, but when he activates his X-ray vision, he can see the pilot, Dawnlight, inside, completely exposing the spaceship's whereabouts.

"Drink!" Karl shouted, grabbing the bow of Ruili's ship with both arms, not only stopping the attack but also directly neutralizing all the spaceship's power.

The narrowest part of the bow was just the right size for Karl to grip with both hands. At this moment, the sturdy hull of the stealth spaceship became a burden. Karl was holding it like a stick, but because of its high-strength material, he couldn't even 'cut off the tail to survive'.

Karl gripped the spaceship tightly and began to spin around on the spot, shaking it as he spun, causing the Dawnlight inside to bounce up and down like a marble.

"Oh my god, Bruce, I will remember your sacrifice," Blue Superman said quietly, glancing over at them.

Even knowing that the Dawn Lantern was protected by the Lantern Ring, just looking at the scene, you could tell how badly the person inside had been shaken. The Dawn Lantern's true physical abilities were just those of an ordinary person.

Despite his words, Blue Superman decided to focus on his own business, which was to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to confront Mebius again and use it to blackmail Carl.

"Got you!" In the blink of an eye, the blue superhero appeared in front of Mebius. He gathered a huge energy ball in his right hand and pressed it directly onto Mebius's head.

"No, I caught you!"

The expected scenario of Mebius having half her head blown off did not occur; instead, it only caused some minor damage to her newly grown scales.

The more badly he was beaten before, the stronger he will be after the Doomsday genes recover. Mebius, who was bombarded to the brink of death by energy attacks, has specially evolved a layer of energy-suppressing snake scales.

While Blue Superman was momentarily stunned, Mebius's snake tail had already wrapped around him. It might not have been able to hurt him, but it was enough to firmly bind him in place.

His ability to become ethereal was rendered useless against the snake scales.

"Oh no!" Blue Superman sensed something was wrong. He finally realized why Karl's camp was able to create Doomsday, but it was too late.

The rational version of Doomsday before him was determined to entangle him, and even though he struggled fiercely, the evolved snake scales greatly prolonged the time it took him to cut off the other's tail.

At that moment, Karl, who was carrying the spaceship on his shoulder, arrived. He twisted his waist to the side and channeled his power into his forearm.

Boom! Home run!

Chapter 303 The Dark Multiverse

Having finally caught the Blue Superman, naturally they had to give him a good beating first.

The stealth spaceship normally resembles a swordfish, but if someone grabs its bow like Karl and swings it like a weapon, it's actually a giant axe or a large knife.

After Karl covered it with a layer of magic, he used this behemoth to smash the blue superman repeatedly. After exhausting most of the opponent's energy, he started a mixed doubles match with Mebius.

With their exceptional brute strength, the two began to play with the blue superhero like a ping-pong ball.

"Wait, I was wrong, please let me go..." Blue Superman pleaded weakly during a lull in the attacks.

However, neither Karl nor Mebius reacted. People need to bear the consequences of their actions. Karl was a person who was relatively prone to pity, but his pity was not reserved for his enemies.

Karl and Mebius continued their attack. The kinetic energy mixed with magical energy was something Blue Superman couldn't absorb. To incorporate it into his body, he would first have to cleanse the magical part, which would consume even more energy and be counterproductive.

As time went on, the faint glow on Blue Superman grew dimmer, indicating that his energy was dwindling.

Mebius planned to weaken his opponent to the extreme and then imprison him as a guinea pig. Energy life forms had their own unique characteristics, which Mebius was very curious about.

"Please spare me..." Blue Superman was unaware of this; he thought the two were planning to watch him suffer death bit by bit, so he was still begging for mercy.

Suddenly, the blue superhero's expression changed, and he cried out in terror, "No, no, no!"

Its voice was so shrill that even outsiders could hear the despair in it.

Mebius frowned. She didn't know what Blue Superman was shouting. His energy was far from the danger zone. He was much weaker, but there was absolutely no risk of him disappearing. Yet Blue Superman's voice made it sound like he was about to die.

"Seriously, can't you be quiet for once? You're supposed to be Superman, do you have to be like this?" Mebius complained, convinced that the other person was terrified.

"You don't understand at all, I, I..."

Blue Superman's voice abruptly stopped, and his body disintegrated at an extremely fast speed. His originally stable structure seemed to have been directly torn apart, turning into specks of light that scattered around him. Soon, even these last specks of light dimmed, and he completely disappeared from this world without leaving any trace.

"What's going on? What's wrong with him?" Mebius asked, puzzled.

“He’s dead,” Carl said.

“He really is dead. What a pity. But how exactly did he die? We were calculating, making sure to leave him enough energy to sustain his body. He shouldn’t have collapsed, let alone died like this, without even a trace of energy left.” Möbius continued to ask.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I have a guess."

Karl paused for a moment before saying, "These people are life forms from the Dark Multiverse. They are not just different from normal universes with different numbering; they are a gathering place for incomplete and distorted universes."

"I've never heard of such a thing before. Aren't there only fifty or so universes within the Origin Wall?"

Mebius was puzzled. The year of the Collapsed Universe was 2016, which was not yet the time when the Dark Multiverse first appeared, so Mebius was unaware of this.

"That's actually true, because there are only so many complete universes, but as I just said, it's a collection of incomplete universes."

"The universe is actually forged. When the universe is born, the normal and complete universe will rise to its proper orbit, while those incomplete and flawed universes will be destroyed by a being called the Dragon Barbatos."

Karl then gave Mebius a brief introduction to the existence of three primordial gods.

That is the watcher, the counter-watcher, and the world-maker.

They each have their own responsibilities. The Watchers are responsible for protecting the normal universe and the life on it, and dealing with possible crises, while the Counter-Watchers are responsible for ensuring that there is no life on the outer reaches of the universe.

The final world-builder, true to his name, was responsible for forging the universe.

The qualified universes are the numbered universes we have now, while the unqualified ones will be destroyed, their energy recycled, and they will be reforged.

However, one day, the Barbatos Dragon, who had been responsible for destroying the universe, could no longer suppress his destructive desires. He turned against his master and killed the World Builder.

Afterwards, he preserved those worlds that should have been destroyed, and those fragmented universes piled up together to form the Dark Multiverse.

Mebius paused for a few seconds, processing this entirely new concept.

Forging universes, destroying universes, and selecting the qualified products from them—it's like a factory, except this factory doesn't produce screws, but universes.

Mebius looked up at the countless gods stuck to the Wall of Origin, and it took him a while to calm his thoughts.

“That’s really surprising, but what does all this have to do with the energy that gave Superman his death?” Mebius said.

The fact that Möbius could ask this question so rationally shows that he has indeed calmed down.

Carl continued, "Life in the Dark Universe is also part of that incomplete universe. Perhaps they cannot easily adapt to the normal universe, just as saltwater fish cannot live in freshwater."

American comics have rather confusing settings. Sometimes they say that creatures in the Dark Multiverse cannot survive in the normal universe, but most of the time this setting seems to be non-existent.

However, from Carl's perspective, this inference is highly likely to be true; Blue Superman could not possibly have died suddenly for no reason.

“Let’s check with other people to verify,” Carl said.

Karl activated his X-ray vision and looked at the Dawnlight inside the stealth spaceship.

Dawn Lamp has not yet shown any signs of physical collapse, but he has also become very uneasy seeing the outside world through the screen.

He himself knew that the cosmic repulsion phenomenon did exist, and that there might be differences between individuals. In addition, the repulsion that came so early was due to Karl and Mebius's repeated beatings of Blue Superman.
