Therefore, the Red Death now uses the Speed Bats as a trump card, only releasing them briefly when the opportunity arises. The frequency is reduced, but the effect is even more deadly.
The Flash is in trouble, and the other heroes aren't having an easy time either.
The merciless iron fist rampaged across the battlefield. He was covered in iron armor, which was incredibly sturdy. Among the young superheroes, neither Blue Beetle's cannonballs nor Starfire's alien energy could penetrate his armor.
The magician Raven, cloaked in black, wanted to achieve something with magic, but the merciless iron fist contained a great deal of divine power, making it difficult to shake.
For a time, no one could stop the merciless iron fist; to force one's way in would be suicide.
Chapter 366 The Superman Family
The young heroes were no match for the merciless iron fist. Many members faced perilous situations during the battle and were only saved by Cyborg's teleportation via the Mother Box.
At the crucial moment, the Superboy and Supergirl, who were closer by, arrived and took on the main roles.
One of them is a clone of Superman, and the other is Superman's cousin. Both of them have inherited the abilities that Kryptonians should have, and their combat power is not bad. However, they are both relatively young and have not yet grown to the level of Superman.
Superboy is relatively young and actually much younger than he appears. Supergirl Karaelle is theoretically Superman's cousin, and her spaceship followed Superman when he was still a baby when Krypton exploded.
Originally, it was hoped that he could take care of his cousin Superman, but unfortunately, Kara's spaceship collided with a meteorite and deviated from its course, entering a time chaos zone where it was frozen for many years. It wasn't until Superman had grown up that Kara arrived on Earth and, with Superman's help, became Supergirl.
Neither Superboy nor Supergirl is mature enough yet, but they are Kryptonians after all. Together, their superb physical abilities are enough to temporarily stop the merciless iron fist.
boom!boom!
Kara and Superboy unleashed two powerful punches, one striking the other's abdomen and the other taking the opportunity to smash his helmet.
According to the intelligence they obtained, the source of Iron Fist's power is his helmet. If they can find a way to remove the helmet, Iron Fist will lose his divine power.
However, this is not as easy as it sounds. How did Merciless Iron Fist manage to get the helmet from the Dark Lord of War? The Justice League risked their lives to knock it off the Lord of War's head.
"So hard." Superboy punched the helmet, but his own fist was knocked away and felt a needle-like pain, just like when he was exposed to Kryptonite radiation.
Of course, it was just some pain, not weakness. Superboy endured it and pounded on his helmet even faster, while Kara did her best to hold off the enemy.
The merciless iron fist was not yet used to the fighting rhythm of the two Kryptonians and was passively attacked for a round.
However, the two Kryptonians soon had a lapse in their coordination. Merciless Ironfist grabbed Superboy's wrist and slammed him to the ground. The impact even created a man-made canyon that stretched from the foot of Challenge Mountain all the way to the Gotham Coast.
"Connor!" Kara called out Superboy's name worriedly.
But the merciless iron fist's counterattack was not over yet. Without the slightest pity, he swung his battle axe and slashed horizontally at Kara, instantly creating a horrific wound.
"Kryptonians? Even Superman is no match for me, let alone the two of you?" Merciless Iron Fist said disdainfully.
Superboy collapsed to the ground, dazed. Kara clutched her wound in pain and managed to say, "Magic, it's so annoying!"
The three weaknesses of Kryptonians are Kryptonite, magic, and the red sun.
Kryptonite is the most effective, directly causing Kryptonians to feel pain and weakness. The Red Sun, on the other hand, gradually counteracts the Yellow Sun energy within Kryptonians. Both work by weakening Kryptonians in different ways.
However, magic is different. It won't weaken Kryptonians because normal Kryptonians don't have much magic resistance to begin with, and using offensive magic is far more effective than using physical means.
Of course, even if their magic resistance is no different from that of ordinary creatures, Kryptonians are top-notch in other aspects. They can completely withstand ordinary magic without any impact other than a little pain.
Of the three weaknesses, magic is actually the most difficult to exploit. Even if someone masters magic, they cannot threaten the Kryptonians unless they reach a certain level.
Like the barrel effect, the amount of water a barrel can hold depends on its shortest plank. Magic Resistance is like the Kryptonian's shortest plank, but even a short plank is taller than an ordinary tree.
Despite his heavy armor, Ironfist's combat power relies entirely on magic. Even his battle axe is damaged using magic. His magic surpasses that of a god, making him someone the two Kryptonians cannot ignore.
"Well then, goodbye." The merciless iron fist raised the axe high, ready to chop off Kara's head.
But just then, the real main force finally arrived. Superman released his heat vision from above. Knowing he couldn't dodge, Iron Fist immediately turned to the side, trying to block with his weapon, but a round shield flew over and deflected his movement.
"Ugh!" The merciless iron fist was knocked to the ground by the massive impact of the heat vision, and was pushed so hard that it plowed a furrow in the ground.
"Phew... Supergirl, you guys get to a safe place quickly, I'll take care of him." Superman landed next to Kara and said in a deep voice, a hint of anger rising in his eyes as his blood relative was injured.
However, Supergirl Kara retorted, "No need, it's just a minor injury, we can still fight!"
In just a short while, Kara's stomach wound had healed more than halfway, and Superboy had also woken up. He nodded in agreement with Kara's words. They didn't want to leave like this; they had to stay and help at least.
“We can help you, Superman,” Superboy said.
Superman shook his head in refusal. If he had arrived any later, both of them would have died, and he couldn't bear to leave them alone. In his eyes, the two in front of him were still teenagers who needed protection.
“Alright, neither of you are suited to deal with an enemy like this, so I’ll handle it.” Wonder Woman picked up the round shield from the ground and walked over just as the two sides were about to start arguing.
The three paused for a moment, then nodded. It was a fact that Kryptonians were not good at magic; they would be more suitable to deal with other enemies, such as the one flying in the sky.
Supergirl turned her attention to Karl. When the battle began, the Dark Knights took different actions; not everyone chose to fight directly.
The Drowned One stood there, holding his trident and chanting incantations, as if preparing a spell. The Bat Who Laughs hid and avoided direct confrontation with the heroes, while Karl stood in the sky with his arms crossed and expressionless.
Although Karl didn't take any action, none of the heroes dared to ignore him. During the battle, everyone had to devote some attention to him, fearing that he would suddenly launch a sneak attack.
Supergirl and Superboy understood that letting Karl float in the air was not a good choice, as it would put considerable psychological pressure on the other heroes, causing them to be distracted and unable to perform at their best.
Wonder Woman has taken over the more pressing crisis, so it's time to deal with the threat posed by Cal.
Bang! ! !
The merciless Iron Fist, who had been knocked into the pile of rocks by Superman, jumped back. He stared intently at Wonder Woman, no longer paying attention to anyone else. The Superman family successfully evacuated the scene.
Chapter 367 Kryptonian Training Partner
Superman, Supergirl, and Superboy arrived together in front of Carl above the battlefield.
They cautiously observed Karl while recalling the intelligence they had gathered.
"The Possessionist, a Batman who stole the body of Superman from the Dark Universe."
"He used the Speed Force to complete the possession, but those devices have already been destroyed in the Dark Universe, so there's no need to worry too much about that."
"Also, the Superman he possessed seems to have a high resistance to Kryptonite. Although the probability is relatively low, we still have to be prepared for the possibility that he might use Kryptonite to launch a sneak attack, since this is a common tactic used by Batman."
Superman was lost in thought, no longer as reckless as before, and unable to articulate a tactic of directly attacking the enemy's lair.
Now, many times when he chooses to go head-to-head, it's because he's deliberately risking his life to find out the enemy's secrets, so that his teammates, especially Batman, can gather more intelligence to formulate a plan.
But now that Batman is gone, he must be even more careful in dealing with crises.
Superman had a lot on his mind, but Superboy and Supergirl, who had even less experience, charged forward without thinking twice. Relying on their superior physical strength to charge ahead was their most common tactic, but this time, it was destined to fail.
Carl crossed his arms, having anticipated their flight path. He flew them close before suddenly attacking, delivering a punch to each of them from both sides.
From Superman's perspective, Superboy and Supergirl are practically walking right into Carl's fist.
He leaped forward and caught the two who had been knocked back, his eyes fixed on Carl, and said, "Are you alright? Be careful, they're very strong. They not only have our power, but they're also as cunning as Batman."
Having suffered a minor setback, the two nodded. Superman continued, "I know Batman best, so I'll lead the battle from now on. Don't make any rash moves; wait for the right opportunity to join in, okay?"
The two decided not to push their luck any further and silently retreated a few meters, while Superman officially faced off against Carl.
Carl silently assumed a fighting stance; he dared not be careless in dealing with Superman.
He was a completely different person since their last meeting. Having obtained the Goldstone, Karl's superpowers matured ahead of schedule, eliminating his weaknesses and gaining superhuman-level combat power.
Unlike the overload state, this combat power is permanent, it is the combat power under normal conditions, there is no time limit, and it will not put any extra burden on the body. It brings Karl a pure boost without any side effects.
However, Superman has also changed a lot during this time. After the main universe recovered for ten years, he has become an experienced old hero again, and has grown a lot since then, much stronger than during the anti-monitoring war.
Furthermore, Superman is the most unique person in the DC universe, and it is not surprising that he could suddenly unleash power beyond reason at any time. At this moment, Karl neither wants to actually defeat Superman nor wants to reveal his combat power in advance, even though his stats on paper are higher. If he is not careful, he may really lose.
Superman approached Karl while unleashing his heat vision. By the time Karl launched his ray attack, Superman was already beside Karl, his iron fist poised to strike.
boom!!!
Karl reacted quickly, and the two clashed in mid-air in a probing exchange, which turned out to be the most powerful explosion on the battlefield so far. Countless bolts of lightning were generated where their fists collided, created by the rapid friction of the air.
Below Kelvin and Superman, Wonder Woman and Iron Fist are fighting. Their battle is at a level that ordinary people cannot interfere with, but in terms of pure strength, the Kryptonian is ultimately superior.
Carl had fought Superman once before, but both sides fought with great restraint, and the final outcome was a brutal Kryptonite attack that ended the fight.
This time it's different. Superman already knows that the Dark Knights are the true enemy, and if they aren't defeated quickly, the portal will widen, leading to Barbatos's arrival.
Although their arrival is unstoppable, and their own plan requires them to come to the multiverse in order to try to defeat them, if they can deal with the Dark Knights in advance, then the passage will expand to its ideal size.
Even if Barbatos were to reach the multiverse, he would still be subject to considerable constraints, which would be beneficial to their subsequent actions.
With this in mind, Superman's attacks became even more ferocious, his punches and kicks increasing in speed. He would immediately switch to heat vision as soon as he created some distance, ensuring his attacks never stopped, quickly forcing his opponent to switch to defense.
"So strong! Is this Superman's true strength? Just to see his movements, I have to exert all my strength, let alone offer any help. If I rush in recklessly, I might just hold him back." Superboy looked at the scene before him and felt considerable pressure.
"This guy, he should be a Kryptonian who came to Kryptonian training halfway through, yet he can keep up with Superman's pace. His adaptability is terrifying, or is it..."
Supergirl sensed something was amiss. Unlike other heroes who were overly devoted to Batman and wouldn't accept explanations like "because he's Batman," she was puzzled as to how Karl had mastered the Kryptonian fighting style so well.
Carl was actually hit quite a few times, but he managed to withstand it all thanks to his strong physique. However, as time went on, he was hit less and less.
Compared to Superman at this time, Karl's combat experience was inferior. After all, Superman was much older than Karl and had experienced more battles and crises.
However, Karl is a learner. Superman, being a fellow Kryptonian, is the perfect sparring partner. In battle, Karl's control over his repeatedly enhanced power is steadily increasing.
Carl was getting more and more comfortable with the fight. The current pace was perfect. Superman wouldn't be able to finish the battle in a short time, and the unhurried fighting style shouldn't cause Superman to suddenly explode. Carl could take this opportunity to practice his fighting skills and self-control to avoid accidentally destroying planets in the future.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a while, and at this time, Superboy and Supergirl, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally got used to the current rhythm of the battle and seized an opportunity to join in and help Superman.
Karl immediately prepared himself, figuring out the level of power he should use to deal with the situation.
However, just as the two were about to fly over, a new change occurred on the ground battlefield. The Drowned One finished his incantation, wielded his trident, and summoned towering waves. Moreover, not only the nearby seas, but oceans all over the world showed unusual activity.
Both Gotham City and Metropolis are coastal cities. When the first giant wave hits, the towering Challenge Mountain might be unaffected, but Metropolis will definitely be submerged.
Chapter 368 Hidden Dangers
The drownings affected oceans worldwide, with the waters near Challenge Mountain being the first to experience problems, as a massive wave shot into the sky, reaching heights of tens of meters.
Boom! The waves crashed down, instantly smashing several surrounding ports into pieces and creating massive tidal waves that crashed down on the heroes on the ground.
The drowning victim wanted to reduce the number of people at the scene first.
Two fists can't fight four hands. More people means more attack frequency. All kinds of superpowers are too tiring and make them unable to move freely. So, under the cover of the Dawn Lantern, the Drowned decided to clear the area.
Not every superhero can fly; there are many who can only move on the ground. At this moment, they were all included in the attack range of the drowning waves, and many who were not strong enough were directly submerged.
Most superpowered individuals have a weakness: they rely too much on their superpowers in battle and lack a complete combat system.
A person who can split mountains and shatter rocks, or even destroy cities, may not be able to swim. This is unimaginable in a world where power is gained through cultivation, but it is a problem that cannot be ignored for those who gain abilities by accident, unless their superpowers are as comprehensive as those of Kryptonians.
Of course, this shortcoming can be overcome.
