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

Half an hour later, Karl smiled as he held the red potion in his hand, and at that moment, his group members returned.

The portal opened in front of him, and everyone, including Spider-Man, walked out of it.

“Welcome back. I knew you guys could win,” Carl said.

Kurumi Tokisaki asked in surprise, "Are you that confident in us? The other side looks stronger no matter how you look at it."

“But he doesn’t understand you, he doesn’t know your methods, while you know very well what superpowered people can do. As long as you’re not instantly killed, you can always win if you’re prepared and catch someone off guard,” Karl laughed.

"You guessed right." Tokisaki Kurumi sighed, "That's right, we won, and the process was pretty much as you expected."

Kurumi Tokisaki stepped aside and pulled out a person frozen into an ice block from the middle of the portal—the one they had defeated, Gensaku.

The opponent may be strong, but people are always prone to carelessness when they suddenly possess enormous power. Karl understands this feeling. Even though he was trying to control himself, he would sometimes deliberately stand still and take the enemy's attack, not to mention Xuanse, who realized that the opponent's attack could not hurt him.

Bronya's shield can be provided to teammates so that they don't succumb to the first round of attacks. And if Xuan Se is careless and gets hit by Tokisaki Kurumi's attack, his time will stop.

Although the pause was short, he would be completely unresponsive during the bullet's effect, and this time was enough for Gan Yu to freeze him completely.

Xuanse was still within the limits of a living being. With all his blood frozen, he would have a hard time escaping on his own, and his bodily functions had entered a dormant state.

The group was somewhat disappointed that Karl hadn't surprised them. At that moment, Bronya noticed the red potion in Karl's hand.

"What is this? Did you come to the lab just for this?"

Carl explained, "This is a potion I just made. It can neutralize the effects of compound 5. I've thought about it. Superpowers aren't necessary. Right now, they're only increasing social instability. Even if we don't eliminate it, we at least need a potion to counterbalance it."

"So you left the scene just to do this? That's incredibly fast! You cracked the formula and even created the antidote in less than an hour?" the doctor exclaimed in surprise.

Actually, it's not that exaggerated. The super brain doesn't directly give him knowledge. He's like he has a supercomputer, but it doesn't have any data in it. He has to figure out how to accumulate it on his own.

The reason he was able to complete it so quickly this time was that he borrowed some of the technology from Kryptonian repair fluid. Rather than neutralizing the effects of Compound 5, it was more like forcibly changing the genes of superpowered individuals to be the same as those of ordinary people.

Chapter 106 Early Return

The entire Super Seven has been captured, and Carl naturally gave each of them an injection of gene repair fluid, causing them to lose their proud superpowers. This may have been more painful for them than killing them outright.

But this is a deserved punishment. From other people's perspectives, this punishment may be considered lenient. Even if they go to prison for their crimes, as long as they have life, there is still hope.

Oh, Storm, Darkrai, and Homelander, except for those three.

Storm's earlier words have been captured by satellite cameras. Having lost her superpowers and committed crimes against humanity, her fate is predictable.

As for Homelander and his imitator Black, their lives are completely tied to their superpowers. Losing their superpowers means losing all meaning in life. No one will love them, no one will care about them, because they have no close relatives, and as ordinary people, they are worthless.

After Karl administered the injection, he waited for the seven people's reactions. The sudden change in genes might produce some side effects, and there would also be traces of altered body structure, such as the gills on the belly of the deep sea, which would probably leave deep scars.

While waiting, Carl asked Spider-Man, "How is humanity's reaction going? They should be starting to think of ways to reclaim the Mother Box by now."

The spider didn't say a word, but instead summoned a scythe.

When she returned last time, the others complained that they couldn't listen to her stories about the other world, so they discussed finding a magical artifact that could record images for Spider-Girl to carry around, and the evil god D also participated.

The divine weapon is naturally this scythe, made primarily of the spider's body. She can actually switch between human form and spider lady form.

So they used whatever was available, with the forelimbs as sickles and the hind limbs as gun shafts, making it the spider's signature weapon. It also has growth potential and its future is limitless, even though its purpose in creating it was to be used as a camera.

The blade cast a light screen, projecting images onto the wall like a projector—the audio and video data that Spider had previously collected.

In these scenes, humanity chose a relatively remote portal and began sending its army recklessly toward the center.

Clearly, humanity has realized that their only chance of survival is to find a way to shut down the portal, otherwise enemies will keep pouring in.

But closing the portal is easier said than done. Humans simply don't have the corresponding technology, so the only way to achieve our goal is to steal it—to steal the alien technology, which is the 'Mother Box' that first appeared on Earth.

All the portals opened near the Mother Box after it vibrated. If we could reverse engineer the technology, we might be able to find a way to shut down the portals.

What humanity doesn't know is that the 'Mother Box' is just an empty, pretty shell. Their research was hindered simply because Karl compressed the density of the metal shell too high. The sheer force of the brick flying was not due to the crushing effect of materials science.

If they actually succeed in regaining the Mother Box, they will probably be very disappointed. Fortunately, Carl and his crew do not need to actually invade Earth.

Karl took out a new mother box and said to Spider-Man, "Once they succeed, I'll trouble you to hand this box to them. I've set up a mystery on it using Kryptonian technology, and humanity will have to do everything in its power to solve it. Then, I'll close the portal and return the prisoners."

This is the only 'mother box' that contains technology, although it has nothing to do with spatial teleportation; it's just a simple puzzle game.

If humans unravel the mystery, the spiders will open a portal in reverse, sucking in the spiders and spitting out the captives, creating the illusion of their victory.

This fake invasion will have to continue for a while, because if victory comes too easily, humanity will not cherish it, and the true heroes that emerge from such events will lack substance.

They had already hacked into many cameras in the city to record the great acts of humanity in the face of disaster. The heroes who stepped forward to protect their relatives, children, and even complete strangers are the real heroes.

Afterwards, they would submit this material to major newspapers, using human deeds to challenge people's values ​​and show them what is truly praiseworthy.

However, Carl wouldn't wait until then. Although he quite liked the sight, business was more important. He had been here for over 20 days, and the Speed ​​Force device had memorized the frequency of this world. It was time to locate it.

Honestly, this universe is pretty good. So far, there aren't many monsters or demons. Although the social atmosphere isn't great, he prefers it to Spider-Man's world. After all, his criteria for choosing a location is that the more peaceful the better.

Carl said, "The mission is basically complete. Once the invasion period is over, the authorities will naturally deal with Vought Corporation. In addition, with the gene repair fluid formula secretly provided, they have virtually no chance of making a comeback."

The chat group's mission is to bring down the Seven and Vought. The Seven have already been dealt with, so the mission will end when Vought's punishment arrives.

“Since there’s nothing going on here right now, I’ll go back to my own world and take a look,” Karl said.

"Yes, that's true. I need to get back to work quickly, otherwise things will just pile up," Gan Yu said somewhat hurriedly.

Apart from Spider, who serves as the cameraman, the others are not always in the mission world. For example, the doctor goes back to his own world every night.

Others weren't as frequent, but they would still go back at least every three days to prevent themselves from being behind on information due to tasks.

In the end, Carl, the doctor, and Gan Yu returned to their own world first, while the others stayed behind just in case and were responsible for the cleanup work.

……

In the DC universe, on Earth-3, Carl returned to his home.

Outside the window was a brightly lit city, but there wasn't a ray of sunshine. Because I could return at any time while on a mission, the moon always stayed in its proper orbit.

Before the mission began, a murder targeting members of the Ultimate Alliance occurred on Earth-3. Carl would occasionally return to check on the case, mainly because he wanted to catch the perpetrator. However, more than 20 days passed, and the murderer never reappeared.

Even with the addition of the AI ​​grid, they still couldn't find any trace of the other party, which made Karl somewhat anxious.

Although the fact that the other party is not causing trouble means social stability, not being able to catch them is like having a time bomb hanging over your head. As long as it hasn't exploded, you have to keep worrying.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this too much for now. Let's see if the Space Probe Tower can locate the Black Robe World first."

Chapter 107 Brainiac's Spaceship

The Speed ​​Force device that Carl brought last time has been analyzed. After nearly three weeks of analysis, the location of the Spider World is now known.

As it turns out, the Space Probe Tower is capable of precise positioning, and the traces of the Speed ​​Force's existence serve as landmarks for their location.

Once they achieve precise positioning, if they follow the landmarks, they will most likely land near the place where Carl once stayed, which is the planet where Spider-Man is located. He spent most of his time there getting the Speed ​​Force adapted to the cosmic frequency.

However, he will not leave Earth 3 now. A trans-space voyage would consume a lot of resources, even if he used the Speed ​​Force to cheat. Carl hopes that his new home will be a safe and peaceful place, so he must be careful in choosing a destination.

In Spider's universe, numerous god-like races are vying for territory. Once you leave the planet, you'll find the universe rife with war. If possible, Karl doesn't want to settle there.

This time, however, he was filled with anticipation for the black-robed universe. Earth only had internal troubles and no external threats. There wouldn't be a bunch of cosmic gods who would suddenly appear and keep their eyes on Earth. Although it wasn't very peaceful, at least it was safe.

Carl changed his badge and arrived in Gotham City.

It's still the same place, rife with crime. If you grab 10 people on the street and search them, you'll find at least 9 of them carrying handguns, and the other one is very likely carrying a bomb.

However, the forms of these crimes have changed recently. There are far fewer destructive crimes, and we haven't seen gang fights like the last time on the streets. Most of the crimes are shady deals and illegal shops.

All of these are Wayne Enterprises' businesses, and are entirely under the control of Night Owl.

It seems that the creation of the grid has indeed brought him great convenience. Batman does not use technology that is too far beyond what his opponents can use when fighting criminals, but Owl has no such taboo. No matter how powerful the high technology is, he will use it as soon as he gets his hands on it, completely disregarding martial ethics.

"Grid, tell Night Owl to come down underground," Carl said after entering Wayne Manor.

Nite Owl is on the ground conducting business as Thomas. As members of the Batman lineage, they generally do not operate during the day, even though there is no sunlight in the sky right now, they still follow this schedule.

Carl found a swivel chair and sat down. Not long after, Night Owl came down the stairs.

"It seems you've really come back this time, instead of just taking a quick look and leaving."

Night Owl knew that Carl would return every few days. Now that the entire world was under Grid surveillance, no one in the city could escape his eyes. Carl's whereabouts were naturally of utmost importance, and there was no reason for him not to tell Night Owl.

“Okay, let’s get straight to the point,” Karl said. “I’ve discovered a new universe, and it seems to be much better than the last one, so I’m leaving the location work to you.”

"Oh, in what way is it good?" Night Owl asked curiously.

"Don't worry about that. If I say it's good, then it's good. Didn't you say you didn't care about the destination?"

Night Owl shrugged, no longer concerned with the matter, and took the Speed ​​Force device from Carl, beginning to focus on dealing with it.

"That's settled then, I'll be going now."

Carl did not linger and quickly flew back to his residence.

He entered from the top floor, but immediately arrived at the basement level -1, where an elevator was hidden. After Carl entered, the elevator continued to descend, dropping a full 500 meters before beeping.

Stepping out of the elevator, one is greeted by a space several times larger than the building on the ground; this is Carl's secret base.

“A qualified villain or hero should have their own underground base,” Karl said loudly, and as he spoke, the lights in the base automatically turned on.

An underground base is a man's true romance; he doesn't envy any lonely fortress.

Getting back to the main point, this underground space was dug out by himself, rather than a natural cave like the Bat Cave, and is naturally deeper and larger than the one in Gotham City.

This place is isolated from the world, accessible only by a single elevator that goes straight up and down, and there are no internet-connected devices; the high-density metal on the walls blocks all signal transmission.

Even the Grid cannot detect this place because Carl did not grant the Space Probe Tower permission to access it.

Such a secret space naturally contains extremely important things.

It was a skull-shaped spaceship, about 2 kilometers long, with several long metal tendrils attached to the 'skull', which were twice as long as the entire spaceship. Thus, the spaceship looked like both a skull and an octopus.

I don't know what the designer was thinking, making the spaceship so ugly. If it were to be shown off, everyone would definitely think the owner of the spaceship is a pervert.

Carl didn't particularly like the spaceship's appearance, but when it came to technological products, he valued functionality more; as long as it was practical, that was fine with him.

He stroked the spaceship and said, "Whether or not you can take everyone through this journey depends on you."

Yes, this is the spaceship that Carl prepared for the mass relocation; the fate of Earthlings rests on it.

Even though the spaceship looked ugly, it was incredibly powerful. Karl was hit by one of its shots and was almost breached, but he managed to get the spaceship without any serious injury.

Although Carl has a super brain, it is unrealistic for him to build a technology tree that can traverse the multiverse from scratch in 20 years, not to mention that there have been countless crises in the past 20 years, making it impossible for him to focus on his research.

Therefore, the easiest way to obtain the technology you need is to rob it.

Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, Earth, this blessed land, has been coveted by various aliens for many years. Karl could simply stay here and wait for them to come to him, thus obtaining advanced alien technology.
