Doomsday, of course, accepted all attacks head-on, focusing its power on its fists.

Both of them used their full strength, and this was the first time Superman had unleashed his power without reservation. Unfortunately, he was still no match for Doomsday. After several evolutions, Superman could no longer gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation.

As expected, Superman was sent flying, farther than ever before. Even after flying off the island, he didn't stop. It's unknown where he will eventually land, but he certainly won't die.

Although Superman couldn't defeat Doomsday, he had already achieved his goal. Doomsday, unleashing its full power, inevitably fell into a brief stun, which was the opportunity Superman created for Cal.

Carl didn't let it go. He shouted and pretended to leap towards Doomsday with all his might, but for the sake of the performance, he didn't actually fly.

The satellites in the sky, as well as Spider-Man's all-seeing eyes, were all focused on this scene. Gan Yu and Bronya watched the battle nervously from behind Batman using his personal computer.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath. They knew that whether the world would face destruction depended on this spear. At this moment, regardless of their stance, everyone had only one wish: to see Carl defeat the Doomsday.

Doomsday's skin, which remained undamaged even by nuclear bombs, was completely ineffective against the Kryptonite spear, the tip of which pierced Doomsday's chest precisely.

"Roar!!!"

In an instant! Arcs of energy from Doomsday, accompanied by Kryptonite radiation, erupted outwards.

At that moment, the group members realized that Karl was right. Others really couldn't withstand this energy, and even though they were weakened by Kryptonite, the Kryptonians were the most suitable candidates.

Chapter 71 Superman... He's Not Dead Yet

Carl gritted his teeth, trying to control his strength to prevent killing the Destroyer in one go. He was still waiting for Doomsday's final counterattack.

The next second, Doomsday's hand gripped Karl's neck. He intended to kill Karl before he himself died.

However, Doomsday soon discovered that he couldn't hurt Karl no matter what he did; instead, the bones in his fingers were about to break.

Karl sighed inwardly. This method of retaliation wouldn't work; it wasn't what he wanted. It seemed he still needed to give the other party a gentle reminder.

Carl lit up his eyes, his heat gaze held back but not unleashed, giving the impression that it had lit up unintentionally as he exerted all his strength.

Upon seeing the signs of the heat vision, Doomsday reflexively released a massive amount of energy from its eye sockets. Compared to the previous beam, it was much weaker and no longer had the power to destroy everything. Moreover, it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

At that very moment, Karl also fired a heat vision. The two energies collided, creating a violent explosion that engulfed both Karl and Doomsday.

Those observing the battlefield were all blinded by the intense light from the explosion. Spider-Zi looked away, and the satellite imagery was now just a blank white.

This was Karl's goal: to take advantage of the chaos when everyone was blinded and quickly stab Doomsday to death, then pull out the Kryptonite spear.

At this point, half of the kryptonite spear shaft had disappeared. Although it was made of a high-strength alloy, it could not withstand the impact at the center of the explosion, and the exposed part had vaporized.

"That way, I won't have to explain where the spear went," Karl thought, breaking off the kryptonite.

Kryptonite was also being evaporated by energy. Karl immediately absorbed the Kryptonite gas into his body and then put the remaining small amount into his belt for protection.

"Too much kryptonite vaporized, what a waste," Karl thought with some annoyance.

Absorbing large amounts of Kryptonite would enhance his abilities, allowing him to do things that would be difficult to accomplish normally. However, for Karl, maintaining his current strength was more than enough. He did not have an urgent need to increase his power, since consuming such a small amount of Kryptonite would not make him stronger than the Anti-Monitor.

Maintaining greater strength requires more Kryptonite. Rather than consuming all the Kryptonite at once, Karl prefers to maintain a low-energy consumption state and try to keep his Kryptonite reserves for as long as possible.

After putting away the kryptonite, Karl relaxed his body and leaned back, trying to make himself lie as naturally as possible. At the same time, he reduced his heart rate and blood flow to simulate the appearance of being seriously injured. Finally, Karl closed his eyes and waited for the others to come to him.

He didn't have to wait long, because everyone was watching the battlefield closely. As soon as they saw Karl and Doomsday fall at the same time, Spider-Man immediately led everyone over.

"Mr. Superman, are you alright?!" Gan Yu rushed over, wanting to check on Karl's condition, but was afraid that her actions would cause more serious damage.

Karl continued to play dead, showing no reaction whatsoever.

“Let me see,” Batman said as he walked over.

He removed some equipment from his armor and explained, "This is a device to monitor my vital signs. It automatically sounds an alarm when I'm in critical condition, and it comes in handy now."

Everyone quickly made room for Batman so he could monitor Carl's condition.

"How is Superman?" Bronya asked.

"This is bad. His heartbeat is very weak, and he could die at any moment," Batman said in a low voice, his words immediately causing everyone to become anxious.

"What should we do? Is there anything that can save him?" Gan Yu asked Bronya, knowing that Bronya understood Karl well and might have a solution.

And Bronya did indeed give an answer.

“Sunlight, he needs sunlight. The yellow sun is the source of life for Kryptonians and can grant them incredible abilities. It might be able to save him. I'm sorry, this is the only thing Bronya can think of.”

Bronya wasn't certain that the sun could definitely save Karl, because in her view, Karl's injury came from Kryptonite, which would hinder the reaction of Kryptonian cells with sunlight. In the comics, there were also Kryptonians who were killed by Kryptonite and never woke up again.

Furthermore, in the original movie world, Superman didn't revive by sunlight after his death. Instead, he returned using a special Mother Box from this world. Therefore, Bronya was very uneasy, worried about what would happen if Carl didn't wake up.

“Sunshine? But it’s nighttime. Where are we supposed to find sunshine?” Gan Yu realized that if they wanted Karl to get some sunshine, they would either have to wait until dawn or go to space.

The situation is urgent, and we certainly can't just wait for dawn. But going into space also requires a lot of time to prepare, so maybe it's better to wait until dawn.

Then everyone heard a sonic boom, looked up and saw that it was Superman, who had been blasted away by Doomsday, who had returned.

Doomsday's punch was really powerful, making Superman recover for almost a minute. However, he seems to be fine now, except for his hair being a bit messy. Kryptonians' superpowers include rapid self-healing.

"I heard you all. I'll take him to space right now." Superman landed and immediately took on the task without any further words.

Just as he was about to help Karl up, Karl suddenly opened his eyes as if he had been startled awake.

"Ha...Ha...Was Doomsday destroyed?" Karl asked, panting heavily.

Waking up so early isn't good; staying asleep a little longer would make the performance even more perfect. However, he had no choice but to wake up, because if he had stayed asleep any longer, he would have been sent to the sky to bask in the sun.

That's much more dangerous than fighting Doomsday. You have to understand that although you made a sun protection force field and attached it to your belt, the power of this device is limited. It's easy to block the sunlight shining on Earth, but it's not so easy to block the sunlight in space.

The closer you are to the sun, the stronger the sunlight radiation. What if Superman, that idiot, finds a place where the sunlight is so intense that it can penetrate a force field? He might just die right there.

"Thank goodness, you're alright!" Gan Yu exclaimed with delight. The disaster had been averted, and the hero had survived; there couldn't be a more perfect situation.

"You really are reckless, but don't worry, Doomsday has been destroyed by you." Bronya's tone was relatively calm, but the smile on her face showed that she was much happier than she appeared.

Spider didn't speak, but just stood quietly to the side smiling. Many people who were observing the situation with satellites were stunned. The goddess's smile could be used as a magic weapon (just kidding).

"That's good. I told you I might not die." Karl smiled easily. The mission was a success, and everyone was satisfied.

Chapter 72 Mission Completed

Carl used his strength to stand up on his own. He stopped pretending to be weak and acted like a normal person, but this appearance only made the others more worried.

"Superman, are you really alright? Do you want to rest a little longer?" Gan Yu asked.

Karl stretched and replied, "Don't worry, the kryptonite was destroyed in that energy burst, and without it, my body recovered quickly and I'm completely fine now."

Then everyone noticed that there were only the corpses of Karl and Doomsday around, but the Kryptonite Spear was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, but everyone except Batman quickly stopped caring. After all, the only use of Kryptonite was to deal with Kryptonian creatures, and in their eyes, Karl and Superman were the best people imaginable, so Kryptonite was completely useless to them.

"Sorry, Batman, we said we'd borrow it, but now we might not be able to return it to you," Bronya said apologetically.

While Batman was thinking to himself about where he could get another piece of Kryptonite, he said aloud, "It's okay. It's all worth it if we can destroy Doomsday."

Although his enemies no longer harbored murderous intent, he would still be wary of even his friends. This had nothing to do with the depth of their friendship; it was purely a matter of his personality.

"It's almost time, we should leave," Carl said to Superman.

After completing the mission, you can only stay in the mission world for 10 minutes unless you pay extra points. When Doomsday died, all four people in the mission world received a system notification, but they hadn't been in the mood to look at it before.

[Mission: Dawn of Justice]

Status: Completed

[Rewards to be distributed: 10000 points]

[Return Countdown: 7 minutes 41 seconds]

This is the message Karl received. The messages from the others were similar, except they didn't have as many points as him. Since he was the one who killed Doomsday, Karl received all the rewards.

The others' biggest contribution was obtaining the key item, the Kryptonite Spear, so they only received 3000 points. Of course, that's still a lot, more than enough to buy an airship.

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? You were just seriously injured. Shouldn't you wait until the effects of the Kryptonite have completely worn off before you leave? I still want to talk to you about Krypton." Superman was reluctant to part and tried to persuade him to stay.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m familiar with kryptonite and its effects,” Karl replied.

He didn't plan to stay in the DC Extended Universe any longer. If this were the world of his friends or an unfamiliar universe, he would definitely try to stay a few more days, since his Speed ​​Force positioning device needed time to adapt to the frequency of the new universe.

But the cinematic universe is completely unnecessary. Although it's better than Earth-3, as one of the DC multiverses, it will also constantly face crises, making it impossible for people to have peace, which goes against Carl's wishes.

After making his decision, he turned to his group members and asked, "What about you? Do you want to stay a little longer?"

The shop sells tickets for staying in the mission world, which cost 100 points per day.

"No need," Gan Yu said. "I feel physically and mentally exhausted right now, and all I want to do is get a good night's sleep. Come to think of it, the last time I slept in was more than ten years ago. It's something I really miss."

"Bronya also disappeared from the room suddenly. Mei and the others must be very worried. I also need to go back and fix the Heavy Bunny as soon as possible."

Bronya's problem is more serious; she passed away while in a physical coma, a phenomenon that can be quite frightening.

When she gets back, she'll have to explain where she went and why her injuries suddenly healed. If she gets back too late, someone might start preparing her funeral.

Spider remained silent, which was a tacit agreement. She was a homebody; although she didn't dislike going out, she was afraid of socializing and would never allow anyone to stay here as a guest.

“That’s settled. Now that Doomsday is over, we have to go back. But if there’s any more crisis in this world, we’ll have to rely on you,” Karl said.

Superman nodded solemnly: "I will protect this world."

"Yes, I believe in you, but if you encounter difficulties, you can also seek help from others, such as forming an alliance or something. After all, the world doesn't belong to you alone, and you don't have to shoulder all the responsibility."

Carl offered a few final words of advice, and it remains to be seen whether Superman and Batman will heed his suggestion to form the Justice League; they probably will.

Because the crisis in the DC universe will never stop, they will one day encounter enemies that one person cannot defeat. Even without Darkseid, there will be other crises, such as Starro, Brainiac, and so on.

That's why Carl didn't want to stay in the DC universe; he couldn't even have a peaceful period of time.

The remaining 7 minutes passed quickly. Under the watchful eyes of Superman and Batman, Carl and the others disappeared from their original spot as if they had teleported, except this time they were transported out of this universe.

Carl has returned to the dreaded Earth 3, and he is now in the same place he left before, near a crater on the moon.

"I feel like I've forgotten something?" Karl suddenly muttered to himself.

If he can forget about it, it means it's definitely not something important. It's probably something he's already resolved but hasn't finished dealing with. Only something like that could be forgotten.

"Oh right, Lex Luthor is still hanging in the tree, I forgot to tell Superman and the others." Carl remembered what he had forgotten, it really wasn't a big deal.

"Who cares? Let him hang there a little longer. Superman and the others will find his spot eventually."

Carl stopped thinking about the Loser in the movie world. He needed to pay more attention to the Loser in his own world than to that somewhat neurotic Loser.

The Luthor in Earth-3 has a slightly different name, Alexander Luthor. He also has a full head of hair and a beard, making him look nothing like the Luthor in the main universe. He doesn't have the super-intelligent appearance at all.

Shortly after Karl took control of the Metropolis, Alexander Luther went into hiding under an assumed name, but Karl knew he would reappear.
