Take the Flash for example. At first, he was just fast, but when he encountered surfaces with low friction, he would even slip and fall.
However, as the Flash further developed his abilities, he successfully established a relatively complete combat system.
Using the Speed Force, he can fly, pass through objects, and deliver heavy punches by accelerating when he needs brute force. He can also create hurricanes when he needs ranged attacks and travel through time when he reaches his speed limit. Things like slipping on ice are basically no longer an issue for him.
Many people lack in-depth knowledge of skills development and are ill-equipped to cope with overwhelming challenges.
At the crucial moment, Aquaman and Mera stepped forward. They were both Atlanteans, born to play in the water.
Aquaman stood at the foot of Challenge Mountain, and before the tide reached him, he plunged his trident into the ground.
The surging tide seemed to crash into an invisible wall. With Neptune's position as the boundary, there was turbulent seawater in front and dry mountains behind.
Aquaman stopped the wave, preventing more people from being hit, while Mera, a water mage, was responsible for helping those who had already fallen into the water. She controlled the water flow to create dry bubbles to bring people out, which was very efficient.
"Hmph, so what if you block me? Let me tell you the truth, the waves here in Guanglan are useless, because I have already triggered a global ocean riot. If left unchecked, the entire earth will be submerged!" the Drowned One said with a sinister grin.
"Damn it! Her control over the ocean is so high." Aquaman was very surprised. He quickly freed one hand and pressed it to his forehead, using telepathy to command the Atlanteans in the deep sea to suppress the seawater as much as possible.
However, this approach was not very effective. Atlantis could only send a small number of people, and in their haste, they could only protect the area around Challenge Mountain, leaving them powerless to help other places.
Aquaman and The Drowned both possess essentially the same weapon: a trident, a divine artifact capable of controlling the ocean. However, The Drowned has conquered the entire ocean world in the Dark Universe, has learned more water control techniques than Aquaman, and after merging with the genes of a sea monster, her control over the ocean has undergone a qualitative leap, completely surpassing Aquaman's.
Carl unleashed his heat vision, forcing Superman back and interrupting his relentless assault. He then said, "Aren't you going to stop her? Other places aren't this dangerous, but the coastal areas could indeed be completely submerged."
Superman could hear the sounds of raging seas around the world, and he knew that Karl wasn't exaggerating. However, he remained focused on the battle at hand and did not retreat carelessly.
"I believe in my teammates, they will definitely be able to quell this unrest, so just stay here and fight with me, don't think about anything else."
Superman was well aware of the extent of destruction a Kryptonian of his caliber could cause; if he let Karl go and chose to go and rescue the ocean disaster instead, he would be putting the cart before the horse.
Carl had not taken any initiative before, but rationally speaking, Superman could not assume that letting Carl go was a safe course of action for this reason; he dared not gamble.
Carl certainly understood Superman's thoughts; after all, on the surface, he was indeed the most threatening enemy.
But the truth is that he doesn't need to be on guard at all. It would be a huge waste of the heroes' strength to send their strongest fighter, Superman, to deal with him. If they keep their attention on him, it would be easy for the Dark Batmen to take advantage of the situation.
“Then let’s continue. But what about your teammates?” Karl deliberately reminded Superman, “Heh, they’re already at their limit just maintaining the current situation. Are you sure they’ll still be qualified to be our enemies after we withdraw some of our forces?”
Superman remained silent, tacitly acknowledging the fact, but he had no good solution and could only remind everyone to be careful through Martian Manhunter's telepathic link.
Meanwhile, Cyborg, now integrated with the Mother Box, is preparing portals to send superheroes capable of dealing with tsunamis to coastlines around the world to combat the crisis.
With nearly half of the troops on the scene gone, and fewer than a hundred heroes remaining, the battle line inevitably suffered many gaps. Seeing this, Dawn Lantern and Laughing Bat began to make different moves.
The former switched from defense to offense, no longer using the Green Lantern Barrier to protect the drowning victim, and began attacking the Green Lanterns on the scene.
Green Lantern Hal went to space to find N-metal, and hasn't returned yet because of the long journey. However, Earth is special; there is more than one Green Lantern here. In addition to Hal, there are also human Green Lanterns such as Kyle, Guy, Stuart, and Jessica.
The Green Lanterns are a vital force in the team, but now the area they are responsible for is on the verge of collapse.
"Lights out program activated." The ghastly green light on the Dawnlight Ring went out, and then a small crack in the center of the ring began to devour the light in large swathes, leaving no trace of light visible for tens of kilometers.
"It's pitch black, there's not a single ray of light left, but luckily we had this information in advance and had countermeasures in place."
Martian Manhunter used his telepathic abilities to transmit information about the surroundings to the others, preventing the superheroes from fighting in the dark, but he was helpless in the face of the Green Lanterns' predicament.
This dark area forbids all light, including the light of the emotional spectrum. All emotional energy released will be devoured, which is too much of a restraint on the Lantern.
Martian Manhunter began to cover the Green Lanterns' retreat, unaware that the most dangerous thing was not the overt shutdown procedure, but the Batman Who Laughs, who was trying to sneak out of the battlefield under the cover of darkness.
The frontal battlefield has never been the stage for the Batman Who Laughs. He is a composite of Batman and the Joker, and both of them are best at devising plans from behind the scenes, rather than charging into battle.
Only by hiding in the shadows can he truly utilize his strengths.

Chapter 369 Trapped, Killed, and Laughing Madly
Using the darkness created by the Dawn Lantern, the Laughing Bat is rapidly retreating out of the battlefield.
From the very beginning of the battle, the Batman Who Laughs had the idea of hiding behind the scenes, but there were too many enemies, and breaking through the encirclement was not so easy.
It wasn't until half of the superheroes evacuated the scene to stop the tsunami, and the Dawn Lantern used darkness to create chaos on the battlefield, that he had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The Batman Who Laughs's blindfold prevented him from being detected by Martian Manhunter's telepathic abilities, thus making it possible for him to secretly escape the battlefield. Meanwhile, the Dawn Lantern's actions rendered most people's observation methods useless, so much so that no one really knew which direction he had left from.
"Hehe, we finally made it to this bright universe. What's the point of being stuck on the mountain? How can we not look around? The Hall of Justice and the Watchtower are great places."
The Batman Who Laughs knows that the Justice League usually keeps the weapons they seize from supervillains in a unified storage, and that the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower both have loot storage rooms to house these weapons.
These weapons are extremely useful to The Batman Who Laughs, because almost every hero has several arch-enemies who have long opposed the heroes, and the equipment they left behind is very effective at exploiting the heroes' weaknesses.
The small odds and ends that the Batman Who Laughs brought from the Dark Universe were actually spoils collected from the corresponding storage room in the Dark Universe. However, due to the repulsion of the multiverse, 99% of those things were unusable, so he hoped to enter the storage room in the main universe.
After donning an invisibility cloak, the Batman Who Laughs quickly left the area of Challenge Mountain, which completely occupied Gotham City. After crossing a bay, they would reach Metropolis, the Batman Who Laughs' first destination.
The heroes are completely tied down. The Dawn Lantern's blackout mode can continue indefinitely thanks to the furnace's power supply. Darkness shrouds the battlefield, and unless this problem is solved, no one will have time to search for the hidden Bat of Laughter.
The Bat of Laughter, which was invisible, blinked past the foot of the mountain and the turbulent bay, and was about to enter the city without any hindrance.
Just as he was secretly laughing, a beam of magical energy, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly struck him down.
The Laughing Bat revealed itself and was slammed several times by the surging waves before regaining its footing in mid-air.
"What's going on? This magic is way too powerful," the Laughing Bat thought with some surprise.
The invisibility cloak he wore had high magic resistance and was a very rare piece of armor.
Having been Batman before, he had dealt with magic quite a bit, so he didn't know much about magic spells. However, he could still estimate the extent of damage that a simple membrane force could cause based on his experience. Logically speaking, he should have been able to ignore that level of magical attack with his cloak.
Suppressing his doubts, the Laughing Bat followed the direction of the attack and saw the attackers: a gentle, orange-haired young man and a snake-eyed girl with a dangerous charm beside him. It was the Doctor and Mebius.
"Heh, as the Doomsday of Earth-3, instead of dealing with the Kryptonian possessor, you're deliberately blocking my way here. You really think highly of me," the Batman Who Laughs said, maintaining his exaggerated smile.
The words seemed to be addressed to Möbius, but his eyes, hidden behind the monitoring goggles, remained fixed on the doctor's position.
The Batman Who Laughs knows Mebius, even though the two have never officially met. However, the Dawn Lantern once attempted to lead a team to seize the Multiverse Tower, and upon his return, he naturally brought information into the Dark Multiverse, which naturally included information about Mebius.
But the doctor was different. The Batman Who Laughs knew nothing about him—his appearance, name, personality, and power system—it was truly their first meeting.
This was one of the worst pieces of news for him, meaning that the Batman Who Laughs couldn't prepare a targeted strategy in advance.
He had seen all the enemies in the main universe in the dark multiverse, only the versions were slightly different, but that didn't stop him from dealing with them in similar ways.
But the doctor was different. He had never seen him before. There was no such person in the Dark Multiverse, so there was no way to make any contingency plans. This unknown was a great enemy, especially since he had just been knocked down by the doctor's magic.
Despite having prepared magic resistance items, this situation still occurred. Although it did not cause any serious damage, the feeling that the Batman Who Laughs had his plans out of control made him very wary.
"I don't think you're anything special except for being deformed, but it's good to get rid of you first, to prevent you from doing anything underhanded," Mebius said as she transformed, going all out.
Neither she nor the doctor could see anything unusual about the Batman Who Laughs; they were completely informed by Carl and then sent to defend it.
This is enough. Out of trust, the two will go all out to kill the Batman Who Laughs. In terms of pure strength alone, the Batman Who Laughs is not strong and it would be difficult for him to escape alone.
While evading the heroes' sight, the Knights of Favonius were also unable to find him. Karl had been focusing some of his attention on the Batman Who Laughs, and his immunity to magic was the only way he could keep track of his whereabouts and share the information with the doctor. In other words, the Batman Who Laughs would have no help for a while.
The doctor took the initiative, using a spell very similar to the Realm of the Laughing Bat to prevent the Bat from escaping.
The Reality Stone that the doctor used in the Marvel universe has lost its effectiveness, but before it completely fails, he certainly used the Infinity Stone to create a large reserve of magic for himself.
The Infinity Stones have become ineffective, but things that have been altered will not automatically revert to their original state. Therefore, the doctor has stockpiled a large amount of Type-Moon magic power and has managed to create a Reality Marble using magic power.
This is a unique magic in the Type-Moon universe. The principle is to materialize a part of one's mental world to replace the real world, thereby creating a favorable battlefield environment and trapping the enemy.
Of course, this effect is not absolute. Those with special abilities or excessive power can forcibly break the restrictions of the inherent barrier and return to reality.
But does the Batman Who Laughs have that ability? He doesn't know much about magic to begin with, and he's stumbled upon magic from another worldview. There's almost no way to break it with any skill, and he hasn't prepared any corresponding magical items for it.
As for brute force, if he can't break the barrier in one blow, the doctor and Mebius won't just watch him accumulate energy, so he's almost certainly going to die.
Chapter 370 Just One Step Away
Carl dodged Superman's punch and glanced towards the coast.
Just as his super hearing can ignore the speed of sound propagation, his vision is also unaffected by darkness. If he wants, he can even see the scene in the fourth dimension. Superman is the same in this respect. When his X-ray vision is fully released, it will transform into a higher-dimensional eye.
Of course, due to the Kryptonians' unfamiliarity with magic, they still do not know the specific situation inside the Realm of Magic.
The power of the barrier first spreads out, capturing the laughing bat before contracting to a single point, residing in a vacuum. From the outside, one can only see a ball of magic.
Karl's high magic resistance prevents him from being captured by similar barriers, but seeing through them is another matter, and vision doesn't come with magic resistance.
No one will be able to disturb the battle inside the barrier in the short term. The Drowned and Merciless Ironfist of the Dark Knights do know some magic, but they cannot break the inherent barrier in one fell swoop by analogy. They don't have that ability. In addition, they are still under the shroud of the Dawn Lantern's shutdown program and have no idea where the Laughing Bat is.
[Superman]: Doctor, you must act quickly. Time is limited. Once Barbatos crosses over, you won't have another chance like this.
[Doctor]: Okay, I understand. Mebius and I will quickly take care of him within the Realm of Inherent Boundary.
[Superman]: Yes, we must be quick, but we must also be careful. The Batman Who Laughs is a schemer and carries all sorts of gadgets, so we must not be careless during the battle.
In the chat group, Carl reminded the doctor and others.
In its original trajectory, The Batman Who Laughs, through a near-lucrative opportunity at the end of the Dark Metal event, used this gain to stir up trouble and create a lot of messes in the subsequent Death Metal event.
Since none of that has happened yet, Karl naturally wanted to stop it in advance.
Combat strength is not a problem. As long as you are determined to kill him, and don't give him any room for maneuver with words, you can kill him directly. The current Batman Who Laughs will have a hard time surviving.
The only problem is that the kill must be completed before Barbatos arrives. Time is limited, and by then there will probably be no time to deal with the Batman Laughing and his group, so the kill must be done now.
"Where are you looking? With me here, don't even think about helping the others." Superman noticed that Karl seemed a little distracted, and in a moment of inspiration, his gaze landed on Karl's shoulder.
Carl wasn't injured, but he was in quite a bit of pain. His current physical abilities are higher than those of a normal Superman, but if he's not careful, he could still get injured or even crash.
Carl can neither be defeated nor put too much pressure on Superman, lest he suddenly unleash an irrational, idealistic power.
"If you can, then stop me!" Carl said, suddenly accelerating towards the bay. Without further ado, Superman naturally did everything in his power to stop him.
However, this was exactly what Carl wanted. After being symbolically blocked by Superman a few times, Carl gave up and turned around to rush towards the Lights Out space halfway up the mountain.
The situation there was extremely chaotic; most of the heroes had been stripped of their beams and could only rely on Martian Manhunter's telepathy to determine their surroundings.
But this is ultimately a stopgap measure. Telepathy is very different from sight, and the information obtained is not as intuitive. It's fine in normal times, but in the heat of battle, very few people can carefully interpret telepathic messages while fighting.
Of course, the Dark Knights also suffer from the same lack of vision. They cannot see through the completely dark, extinguished area, which severely limits their combat capabilities, forcing them to fight in the dark. Overall, they are even more passive than the heroes.
However, the Dawn Lantern that created this environment has no limitations; in fact, it has become even stronger.
In the darkness, he acted recklessly, summoning a large number of phantoms with lantern rings to besiege the Justice League. Individual phantoms were weak, but when combined with the Knights' attacks, they were impossible to defend against.
