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

His purpose in doing this was to create a gap in Barbatos's mouth, giving the Red Death Demon a one in ten thousand chance of survival.

Unfortunately, the reason humans admire miracles is precisely because miracles are rare; it's normal not to encounter low-probability events.

Whether the Red Death Demon failed to seize the opportunity or simply didn't want to, after the effects of the explosion gradually subsided, all Karl could see was the enraged Barbatos.

Barbatos looked miserable at this moment. His cloak had completely disappeared, and his thin, pale dragon body was exposed, covered with wounds of varying sizes.

"Ugh... ugh..." Barbatos groaned in pain.

The matter-antimatter bomb injured Barbatos and also obliterated the Red Death Demon, leaving not a single atom behind.

The difference in their endurance was so vast that even after sacrificing everything, Barbatos was only wounded but not killed.

"Barry, your sacrifice was absolutely meaningful, and your decision was absolutely correct. Barbatos will surely die here today!"

He took out a piece of kryptonite, chewed it up in a few bites, and was restored to his full state.

In full power, overload mode, and with an acceleration distance of several light-years, Carl unleashed the strongest punch of his life.

Before Barbatos could catch his breath, the punch landed squarely on Barbatos' face.

The space, already nearly blasted apart by the matter and antimatter bombs, could not withstand the power of another explosion and shattered like a mirror.

"Ugh!"

Barbatos screamed as Karl blasted him into the spatial rift.

In the void between universes, almost nothing exists except for Karl and Barbatos at this moment, and...

The ancient golden wall that can be seen in any universe—the Wall of Origin!

The Justice League's previous battle plan was to find a way to drive Barbatos into the Origin Wall, and Karl's current idea coincides with theirs.

This is the most time-saving, labor-saving, and highly successful solution.

Hit on the head by Karl and rendered paralyzed, Barbatos was unwittingly propelled a considerable distance toward the Wall of Origin by Karl.

However, he would not be so easily defeated. Even though Karl kept interfering, Barbatos regained consciousness when he was still tens of light-years away from the Wall of Origin.

"How dare you!" Barbatos struggled, his dragon claws reaching for Karl.

Karl threw a punch in retaliation, which actually knocked Barbatos's hand back.

Barbatos then spewed a torrent of darkness from his mouth, while Karl countered with his heat vision. This time, Karl still had a slight advantage.

“You’ve become weaker, Barbatos!” Karl shouted, his heat vision overwhelming the dark energy and forcibly forcing Barbatos’s breath back into his mouth.

"Me, weak? How could I be weaker than you? You're not even a real Superman!"

Barbatos was furious. Despite being repelled by the dragon's breath, he opened his blood-red maw and lunged to tear Karl apart.

But what is the use?

He simply became weaker. Caught completely off guard, he was hit at point-blank range by a matter-antimatter bomb, resulting in severe physical damage and a significant depletion of his internal energy. These are all objective facts.

Only miracles can disregard these conditions, but if miracles truly exist in the world, what reason is there to favor Barbatos if there is no miracle that favors the Red Death?

So no matter how angry Barbatos was, Karl easily seized his weakness and knocked out several more teeth with an uppercut to his jaw.

Karl's attacks were mostly aimed at Barbatos's head, not only because hitting that spot was more effective, but also to provoke Barbatos into getting angry by slapping him in the face.

The more emotionally confused an enemy is, the more likely they are to make wrong choices, commonly known as "getting carried away."

Barbatos is getting a bit carried away. Despite having less strength than Karl, he's still going head-to-head with Karl, which is incredibly foolish.

This delightful situation lasted for quite some time, and Carl had almost secured the victory.

Until Barbatos felt the pressure from the multiverse.

The last Dark Batman is dead, so the portal maintained by Batman is no longer usable. As a creation of the Dark Universe, Barbatos will be instinctively rejected by the multiverse.

Under normal circumstances, Barbatos could have forcibly stayed for a period of time using his own power, but he is now injured, and he had just come here not long ago to seize the Multiverse Tower, so the Multiverse is reacting very quickly at this moment.

Barbatos is about to be forcibly banished back to the Dark Universe.

With Karl's interference, Barbatos had no time to use space jump, but if the multiverse cooperated, the situation would be different.

Temporarily retreating to buy himself time to recover and treat his injuries is the best option for Barbatos.

He wouldn't have made such a wise choice originally, but the multiverse inadvertently helped him.

Chapter 406 I am myself

Earth, Gotham Challenge Mountain.

With Barbatos getting brutally beaten by Karl, his ability to stay behind and deal with the heroes was greatly diminished.

After a struggle, the heroes gradually broke Barbatos's blockade, and the first to regain their freedom were, of course, the strongest group, namely several superheroes.

Superman, Supergirl, Superman the Elder, and Superpower.

Once Superman and his friends were free, they immediately turned around and started helping the others, while Superman stood there, unsure of how to react.

His criminal syndicate wasn't here; he was the only one Barbatos brought along.

In other words, he has no teammates nearby, he is not on the same side as other superheroes, nor is he on the same side as Barbatos.

So Superman is now in a dilemma: should he help these superheroes he doesn't quite like?

“Superman, what are you waiting for? Barbatos could be back at any moment, we must regroup immediately,” Superman said urgently.

Although he knew that the Superman in front of him was not the Superman he knew, Carl's example made Superman believe that even if the other party was a villain, there should be a good side to him, and at least there was a possibility of cooperation.

Upon hearing Barbatos's name, Superpower's body trembled slightly.

Fear began to grow in his heart.

A demonic dragon capable of destroying the universe suddenly appeared in his world and inexplicably targeted him, which really panicked Superman. The most crucial thing was that he couldn't defeat this demonic dragon.

Superman's willpower is the opposite of Superman's; all his confidence and composure are built on his powerful superpowers.

If he is no match for his opponent in strength, he will instantly be reduced to his original form and become the weakest person in the world.

"Superman?" Superman called out again when he saw the other person standing there in a daze.

Unexpectedly, Superpower reacted very strongly this time: "Get out of here! Are you ordering me around?"

He was aware that he was afraid, but his superpowers prevented him from admitting it.

In an attempt to boost his confidence, he actually threw a punch at Superman.

At this point, Superman had not fully recovered his strength, and being caught off guard, he was actually knocked hundreds of meters away by Superman.

This action instantly triggered a reaction from the frontline heroes and group members who had already escaped, and they all grabbed the lasso and other binding items.

But just then, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from the sky.

The battle-hardened Justice League of the main world immediately recognized the sound as the sound of space shattering, and they instantly prepared for battle.

The most likely person to cross space at this time is Barbatos.

Everyone was on high alert, and the person who actually emerged from the space was indeed Barbatos.

However, their next reaction was not to attack, but to freeze in shock, because Barbatos was completely different from what they remembered.

His entire body was covered in wounds, and he looked extremely disheveled, especially his head, which was almost half-dented from numerous fist marks.

His entrance wasn't voluntary; it was more like he was knocked away and crashed to the ground.

“This…this is Barbatos? How did he become like this?” Wonder Woman said in disbelief.

The universe has entered a very dangerous situation. Almost everyone has been defeated. At this time, who could possibly have beaten Barbatos to such a state?

The others were unaware of the situation and some dared not make any rash moves, except for one person.

Superb didn't know Barbatos's background, but seeing his opponent in a slump, his confidence immediately swelled.

"Hahaha, so you're nothing special after all. Now I'm going to make you regret how you treated me before!"

Superpower grinned and charged forward, his right arm fully extended, ready to unleash its power.

Barbatos was indeed in poor condition at this time, both physically and mentally, making him the weakest he had ever been.

Barbatos staggered to his feet, then saw Hyper Bomber approaching him: "Ugh... Ah! Hyper Bomber!"

Barbatos instinctively attacked in anger, and then, it shattered! Superpower's arm, along with half of his body, was blasted to pieces, blood splattering everywhere!

With a single blow, he almost killed Superman. It seems that even if Barbatos was injured, he was at least a cosmic-level powerhouse.

Having defeated his enemy in one move, Barbatos did not intend to pursue him further, because he had realized that this was not the Superman he was truly facing.

Barbatos looked up at the sky, waiting for Karl's arrival, knowing that the other would definitely come after him.

What is Barbatos doing?

Most of the heroes were injured, and Barbatos had just proven that he still possessed great strength. Therefore, seeing that the opponent's movements were unclear, they did not dare to make a direct move.

Karl didn't keep Barbatos waiting long; a few seconds later, a red cloak appeared in the dim sky—Karl had caught up.

"Superb!" Barbatos's furious roar reverberated in all directions.

No one would think he was angry at the Superpower lying in the ruins. Barbatos's shouting only proved that the person who came was Superpower.

However, those present found it strange because the Kryptonian in front of them had an "S" on his chest, not a "U".

"Who are you? Are you here to help us?" Superman flew back into the group and asked Karl.

Karl nodded and slowly began to speak:

“I am Superman.” The symbol on his chest changed to a “u”, telling the Justice League that he was the Superman they used to know.

"I am Superman." The icon changes to an "s." This reply is for the doctor, Spider-Man, and other group members, and it is also being sent out in the group to prove his membership.

Even those few group members who weren't present at the scene could hear these words at this moment.

"I am the Possessed." The bat symbol appeared on the outside of the S, telling everyone that he had returned to the multiverse by infiltrating the enemy camp.

“I have several identities, and you may only know one side of me, but I am who I am. Identity is not a constraint for me. What I want to do has always been very clear, and now I want to defeat Barbatos.”

Carl eventually changed the symbol back to the 's' which was more acceptable to others, instead of the 'u' that had been with him the longest.

Anyway, he never cares what logo he uses, and the logo doesn't affect his behavior.

Carl's introduction contained a lot of information. The heroes understood that he had come to help, and the group members also realized exactly how Carl had deceived them.

There was no time for further explanation now. Karl ignored their reactions and, after saying those few words, shot straight at Barbatos.
