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

The area around Challenge Mountain has been largely assimilated by the Dark Multiverse, so Barbatos was temporarily repelled here by the multiverse, and Karl followed closely behind.

He needed to kill Barbatos before he completely returned to the Dark Multiverse, otherwise the dragon, who had the home-field advantage, might have some tricks up its sleeve, and then Karl wouldn't be able to pursue him any longer.

Chapter 407 Cosmic Showdown

"Barbatos, you've already lost!"

Karl punched Barbatos in the face, uttering sarcastic remarks.

Meanwhile, the surrounding superheroes also seized the opportunity to launch an attack, using whatever they could to bombard Barbatos with heat vision, emotional spectrum, speed force lightning, doomsday rays, magic cannon bombardment, and high-energy beams.

Barbatos was enraged, and his immense power burst forth, temporarily knocking Karl back.

Did he lose? Although he had become much weaker and was suppressed by Superman, most superheroes still did not have the ability to hurt themselves. Many of their attacks looked flashy, but they actually did almost no damage.

From this perspective, Barbatos should not have lost yet.

But they didn't win either.

Even if Barbatos wipes out all the superheroes present, it still wouldn't be a victory for him, because he would still be banished from the multiverse afterward.

Barbatos has only one condition for victory: even if he loses on the front lines, he must allow darkness to erode a portion of the multiverse.

He must at least leave indelible scars in the multiverse so that he has the possibility of making a comeback.

"You really think I've lost?! How naive! Even without the cosmic tuning fork, I can still move the universe!"

Barbatos roared, activating the hundreds of human-pillared towers on the challenge mountain, releasing endless dark energy.

This energy is not the energy within the tower itself, but rather energy transmitted through connections to the Dark Multiverse; it is the capital that Barbatos has accumulated over many years.

This energy is truly inexhaustible, but the defense mechanisms of the multiverse are not to be underestimated. When it is forcibly transmitted, almost 90% of the power is wasted.

However, the remaining 10% is still quite considerable, as the most important main universe was forcibly moved.

In the universe, most living things cannot detect this movement, except for Earth.

The center of the multiverse is the main universe, and the center of the main universe is Earth 0.

The changes in the universe are more directly reflected on Earth. Everyone can see that half of the Earth, centered on Gotham City, has been plunged into darkness, and many ordinary people thought that a solar eclipse had occurred.

This change is not just physical darkness; the most significant change is the spatial transformation.

Looking up at the sky, there should have been some starlight in the dark night sky, but there was none. Instead, there was a vast, black continent, about the size of Earth.

The continent obscured the entire sky, making everyone feel oppressed, and no one knew what Barbatos had done.

The Kryptonians present could see much more with their super vision, not just the continent itself, but also the buildings on it, all clearly visible.

They discovered that the continent itself was not actually black. The reason it gave that initial impression was because countless human-pillar towers stood on the continent, emitting black smoke all day long, blotting out the sky and obscuring everything.

Those human pillar towers are exactly the same as the towers that appeared on Challenge Mountain. The only difference is that the towers on Challenge Mountain only imprisoned the tens of millions of people who had just been captured by the Red Death Demon.

Without exception, all of these newly emerged human pillar towers are covered with human batteries.

Moreover, these are not ordinary "batteries"; those qualified to hang on them are all superheroes in uniform.

And most of them are the Justice League, led by Superman.

"What...is that?" Superman was a little confused, but suddenly he saw something very important: "There's only one person tied to that tower in the center, and that person is...Batman!"

It was Batman, and specifically, the Batman from Earth 0 in the main universe. Superman was certain that the Batman he saw was the one who had deliberately allowed himself to be captured before the war began.

Batman from the main universe was captured and taken to the Dark Universe to open a portal that would allow the Dark Knight Commander to exist in the multiverse, so Batman should be in the Dark Universe at this time.

Taking advantage of Barbatos's spellcasting, Karl seized the opportunity to launch a relentless attack, further inflicting damage on his opponent.

Having consumed the Goldstone and accumulated the Overload status, he was now capable of fighting Barbatos.

Unfortunately, this only narrowed the gap between him and Barbatos, but it didn't allow him to overpower Barbatos.

Despite being injured, Barbatos still managed to accomplish what he had to do.

"Enough! Superman, you're nothing but a derivative of Superman. Do you really think something like you can threaten me?! That's just your illusion because I'm constrained in the multiverse!"

As Earth drew closer to that dark continent, Barbatos's power surged dramatically.

Barbatos's output, which had been weakened by his injury, was restored. The dark energy became so dense that it was almost materialized, and it concentrated in Barbatos's hands, trying to capture Karl.

Carl retaliated with his thermal vision, but found that the light could not quickly penetrate the layer of dark energy.

Fortunately, the brief moment of slight obstruction was enough for Karl to evade the attack with his super speed.

Even during the battle, Karl didn't stop thinking. After dodging the attack, he spoke:

"You've brought the Dark Universe over?"

"Yes, but the me in the dark universe is the real me. You all, prepare to face despair!"

Barbatos roared, and despite not being much stronger than Karl at the moment, he suddenly unleashed an unprecedented aura.

Furthermore, his physical structure has also undergone slight changes.

Barbatos, who originally looked like a giant bat from a distance with his hood on, now had sharper claws and scaly skin. After the hood was knocked off, the head of the dragon was revealed.

His power has undergone a dramatic transformation. He is now powered by the Dark Multiverse, making him a powerful being even among multiverse-level beings.

The current Barbatos is the true Barbatos Dragon, an extremely evil dragon born to destroy the universe.

When Barbatos' claws came, Karl could only defend with all his might, and even so, he had a deep, bone-revealing wound on his shoulder.

Then Barbatos’ enormous claws slammed down, their mass far exceeding that of a universe.

Karl couldn't dodge; the force of the impact caused internal injuries, and he had to use all his strength to barely hold on. As a result, he couldn't do anything else and was completely unable to withstand Barbatos's subsequent pursuit.

"stop!"

In the critical moment, led by Superman and the old Superman, the superheroes organized an effective resistance force and barely managed to shake Barbatos.

Barbatos was not injured, but his wavering made it possible for Karl under his claws to break free.

"Annoying flies, go fight your proper opponents!"

Barbatos immediately increased the pressure, and at the same time opened his huge mouth, letting out a roar that could penetrate the cosmic barrier once again.

A sound that sounded like crying and howling entered the dark universe that Barbatos had brought, calling upon his followers.

When everyone looked up, they saw countless black dots descending from the dark universe above.

As the black dots drew closer, they realized that they were all people; the entire Dark Universe was filled with people who had sided with Barbatos.

A horde of Dark Justice League members have arrived on Earth. In this place, half of which has been corrupted by the Dark Universe, it's no longer necessary to be the Dark Batman to exist on Earth.

Chapter 408 The Superman with Tens of Millions

The Dark Multiverse has an endless stream of dark heroes and villains.

Most of them will die due to the rapid birth and death of the dark universe, but some will survive.

Because there are so many Dark Universes, the number of Dark Heroes who have survived over the years is also enormous.

After surviving, because the Dark Multiverse is Barbatos's territory, these people only have two choices.

They either rebel against Barbatos, and because they are no match for him, they are imprisoned on the Tower of Pillars to be used as batteries.

They either had no choice but to submit to Barbatos and become his servants.

These dark heroes would be rejected and unable to survive in the multiverse if they entered it, but now that Barbatos has dragged half of Earth into the dark universe, they have room to maneuver.

Tens of millions of dark heroes descended from the sky, and among them, the number of Superman was also in the tens of millions.

The Dark Universe never lacks people, it only lacks people who can be sent to the multiverse.

Now, Karl and his companions are finally facing the true and final force of the Dark Universe.

Superman, Superman the Elder, and Supergirl take to the skies to fight back.

They possess a strong will, and even if their opponents are Kryptonians like themselves, their fighting spirit and belief will influence the outcome of the battle, making them far stronger than ordinary Kryptonians.

In the first exchange, the three of them forcefully knocked several Dark Supermen away.

But before they could even rejoice, more dark heroes swarmed in and overwhelmed them.

One Dark Superman is no match for them in a one-on-one fight, but if one isn't enough, there can be ten, a hundred, a thousand...

With such overwhelming numbers, even the strongest superhero from the main universe could only be defeated and suppressed by countless dark superheroes.

"Mebius, do you still have any Doomsday spores left on you?!" Tiamat asked hurriedly.

Spider also arrived here at this time using spatial teleportation. If Doomsday Spore needs a parasite, her massive number of spider clones can be used as fusion materials.

However, Mebius's expression was grim: "It takes time to build the Doomsday Legion. The previous 100 million Doomsdays couldn't be assembled overnight. Now, I can only do my bit."

She unleashed Doomsday Spores with all her might to infect Tiamat's offspring and spider clones, and soon hundreds of new Doomsday Spider Monsters were born.

However, given the current situation, this effort to destroy the spider monster is merely a drop in the ocean.

Their numbers were far from sufficient; 1000 Dark Supermen released their heat vision from afar, instantly wiping out the Destruction Spider Monsters that hadn't even begun to evolve.

The proliferation of numbers takes time, and the evolutionary passive of the Doomsday genes also takes time, but in such an extreme battlefield environment, they simply have no chance of developing.

The newly emerged Doomsday Legion was not only wiped out, but also attracted many dark heroes to target them.

Tiamat's massive dragon body was cleaved in two by a Dark Wonder Woman.

The sword in the heroine's hand was some kind of supreme artifact. When it struck Tiamat, it caused her body to continuously disintegrate, damaging her divinity and preventing her from using her self-healing abilities.

Mebius quickly came to help in her human-headed, snake-bodied form. She had evolved to a very high level, and her body could withstand the divine weapon.

Dark Wonder Woman was forced back, but it was useless in the overall battle, and several Dark Supermen immediately rushed over to deal with her.

Mebius simulated Kryptonite radiation, rendering several Dark Supermen incapacitated on the spot.

However, many dark superheroes turn to some kind of dictatorship, having already overcome their greatest weakness through various means.

They might create armor to shield themselves, fuse with the genes of villains, or transform themselves into elemental forms...

These dark superheroes are not afraid of kryptonite. Overcoming their weakness, they have wiped out all the non-believers in their universe, and now they all belong to Barbatos.

After only a few rounds, Mebius was already covered in wounds, with broken bone spurs, countless frostbite and burns, and his tail was even grabbed by several Dark Supermen and forcibly torn off.

Even if she has evolved many times, she could never be a match for so many Dark Supermen fighting at full strength.

At the critical moment, Dr. Roman took advantage of the Kryptonians' weakness in magic and used the highest level of Reality Marble to temporarily save her.
