The Nemoan lion is impervious to weapons, but that doesn't mean it's immune to water and fire. The extreme heat from the heat vision instantly turned Luther's two heads into charcoal.
Luther used his remaining head to deliver a headbutt that sent Karl flying.
At this point, his head had regenerated into five, making him look increasingly disgusting.
It's clear that he's not used to having five heads, but with five heads, he can use some unique moves.
Luther opened his mouth wide, and a large amount of thick purple smoke spewed out from his five mouths. This was the venom of the Hydra. Fortunately, there were no other creatures nearby, otherwise it would have caused a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.
“Is this your saliva? It’s disgusting,” Karl said, frowning.
These magical venoms couldn't harm Karl; their only purpose was to obscure his vision. Because Kryptonians are generally not adept at magic, they might be able to withstand magical attacks, but they would struggle to see through the tricks.
Carl let out a long breath and used his Super Breath to disperse the poisonous fog. However, after the fog dissipated, only a griffin remained on the scene, and Luther and the Super Queen were nowhere to be seen.
"Run, run," Karl muttered to himself, and casually smashed the griffin's head.
Just then, a black fighter jet flew towards them, the cabin door opened, and the pilot was Night Owl.
"You deliberately let them go, why?" Night Owl asked directly. "They only left a small animal here to buy time, while they themselves chose to disappear. If you wanted, you could have easily caught them."
Carl wiped the blood off his hands and said, "Of course they'll die, but there are others who haven't been punished yet. Paradise Island, I gave them a chance. Since they dared to play these tricks on me because of their secluded location, they'd better be prepared for me to settle the score."
Chapter 112 Invasion of Paradise Island
Lex Luthor is one thing, but the fact that Queen Super has reappeared must mean that Paradise Island has tacitly approved of her actions.
Karl initially did not want to go to war with Paradise Island because the other side was skilled in magic, which was his weakness. If the war could not be ended quickly, the whole world could be dragged into it, which was contrary to Karl's expectations.
But now that Paradise Island has joined the battle, there's no point in showing mercy anymore. The priority now is to pinpoint their location as quickly as possible and then crush them with overwhelming force.
"You're going to use that, right?" Night Owl asked.
Carl nodded: "Yes, now is the time for it to shine, and I also want to test whether its functions are still complete."
After Carl finished speaking, he quickly flew back towards the city, while Night Owl had to stay behind to clean up the poison gas spewed out by Luther. Hydra's venom was no joke; if it wasn't handled properly and spread, no living creature could survive within a thousand miles.
……
……
Half an hour later, on the secluded Paradise Island.
Luthor brought Super Queen across the barrier and back here.
They looked disheveled, their clothes torn, their bodies covered in wounds, and Luther's five heads were all bruised and swollen.
As soon as they set foot on the island, a group of Amazonian female warriors greeted them.
"Welcome back...wait, what kind of monster are you?!"
The warriors held their spears in front of Luther. There was no way around it; his current appearance was truly unlike that of a normal person. Even in mythology, one would have to be very selective to find a human with such a strange appearance. No wonder the female warriors mistook him for a monster.
"Are you all blind? You can't even recognize me!" Luther roared in anger after being told this by the warriors.
He didn't want to become like this. No normal person would want to have so many heads. But once a head grows out, it won't disappear. Cutting it off will only make it grow more, until it has nine heads.
At this moment, the Amazon Queen arrived at the scene. In order to stop the conflict, she ordered the warriors, "You may all go down first. It seems that our heroes need some private space."
The Amazonian queen and her duo then asked, "You're back so quickly. Did you run into trouble as soon as you left?"
Super Queen replied, "Pretty much. Our trip to the city went smoothly as planned, but just as we were about to seize the superpowers, Superman suddenly appeared. My husband didn't have enough superpowers, so after a fierce battle, we had to come back and make further plans."
"But surely it shouldn't be this fast?" the Amazonian queen wondered.
Suddenly she realized something: "Wait, you two didn't rest on the outer island for a while, and came straight back, did you?"
Supergirl scratched her head and said, "We forgot, but it doesn't matter, right?"
The outer island is another island created to conceal the location of Paradise Island. The Queen decreed that any traveler must first visit the outer island and have their safety confirmed before returning to Paradise Island.
In their haste to escape, Luther and Queen Super had completely forgotten about the rule.
The Amazonian queen was furious. She pointed at the Super Queen and yelled, "You two are complete idiots! You're good for nothing but causing trouble. Don't you have any brains?"
The Amazonian queen regretted it. She felt she shouldn't have agreed to let the two go out to seek revenge. Even if she had to use force, she should have kept the two fools on the island.
Super Girl was very unhappy about being scolded. She frowned and said, "Mother, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? We came back invisibly. Your worries are unnecessary."
The Amazon queen became even angrier upon hearing this, but just as she was about to utter more profanities, the entire island of Paradise suddenly trembled.
The warriors quickly returned to the queen's side, standing guard around her and asking her about the current situation with confusion.
"Outsiders are about to set foot on Paradise Island," the Queen said weakly.
Victory was within reach, but because of a teammate, there was a risk of failure. Anyone would be furious in that situation.
Although Luther and Queen Super were unwilling to believe it was their fault, they had to resolve the crisis first, so they cautiously kept an eye on the area outside the island.
Rumble! The tremors on the island grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, breaking the barrier that had lasted for thousands of years. A huge mechanical tentacle reached in and kept slapping the surroundings, making the crack grow larger and larger.
Then, with a sound like a mirror shattering, the barrier left by the Greek gods completely disappeared, and Paradise Island reappeared before the world.
At the same time, the people on the island also got a clear look at the invaders.
It was a 2-kilometer-long skull-shaped spaceship with tentacles swaying erratically below. Just one tentacle had destroyed the island's barrier, and there were a total of eight tentacles on the spaceship.
"This is!" Luther recognized the spaceship: "An alien spaceship that appeared in Metropolis a few years ago. Wasn't it dismantled by Superpower?"
The Amazon queen rallied and said, "Never mind where they came from, girls! Prepare for battle! We cannot let outsiders set foot on our island!"
Luther raised his hand to stop them, saying, "It's just a spaceship, isn't it? You stay here and watch how I take it apart."
He didn't know much about the spaceship, but he had seen Karl's battle and thought it was pretty simple: rush into the spaceship, cause damage inside, and then come out. If Karl could do it, so could he.
Luther transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot into the sky. Even the fastest warriors couldn't react in time, and he arrived in front of the spaceship in the blink of an eye. He roared and swung his fist at the spaceship.
"what!!!"
But after a scream, Luther fell straight into the sea like a kite with a broken string.
"What happened?" Queen Super asked, puzzled.
"It was the spaceship's protective shield. Luther just hit it and was immediately stunned by the energy from the shield," the Amazon Queen explained.
"What? It's just a spaceship," Super Queen exclaimed incredulously.
In her worldview, the most powerful beings are individual life forms, that is, gods, while technological weapons are all things that don't even come close.
Her mother thought much the same way, but was more accepting of the facts. In her original plan, she thought Karl would personally come to fight, but she didn't expect to be met with technology instead.
These guys are seriously underestimating technology. Little do they know that Karl used technology to track them down and to break through the barrier.
The power of technology is immense, especially this spaceship that originally belonged to Brainiac. Even Karl had to consume a piece of kryptonite to successfully capture it, yet Luther rushed in so rashly, truly showing his ignorance of the immensity of the world.
Chapter 113 Shrinking Ray
Carl piloted his spaceship and broke through Paradise Island's defenses.
It must be said that Brainiac's spaceship was really useful, easily breaking the barrier left by the Greek gods and even easily knocking out Luther.
If Karl were to handle it himself, he would probably have to fight Luther for quite a while. It has nothing to do with their fighting abilities, it's just that their styles are different.
A simple physical attack would hardly knock Luther unconscious, given his rubber body, while the heat vision would be too destructive and would only kill him outright, allowing him to grow more heads and revive.
"Octopus Brother, forward!" Carl commanded, piloting the spaceship.
Octopus Brother was the name Carl gave to the spaceship because it now really does look a lot like an octopus, thanks to Carl's modifications.
His battle with Brainiac destroyed half of the ship, which has since been repaired, but its appearance has changed considerably.
Originally, the spaceship had more tentacles at the bottom, which were shorter and more like a jellyfish. However, after Carl's modifications, it became the current eight thick tentacles, hence the name Octopus.
Of course, he never told anyone this nickname; he only used it in private. Even though he found it amusing, his public persona was that of an alien overlord who ruled humanity, and saying it out loud would diminish his prestige.
The Octopus Ship continued forward, surrounded by an energy shield. When attacked, the ship would concentrate its energy on the point of attack to defend itself, making the already sturdy shield even harder to break.
However, this also leaves a weakness: when the attack speed exceeds the shield's reaction speed, the shield becomes easy to break.
The experienced Amazons seemed to have discovered this weakness. They dispersed around the spaceship and launched a high-frequency attack by throwing spears.
This caused the shield to flash with purple lightning. This lightning had previously stunned Luther and was quite destructive; any spear that hit it would be instantly annihilated.
"Archers, prepare! Fire!"
The Amazon queen was directing the operation at the front lines. She took the lead and fired the first arrow, which suddenly burst into flames in mid-air, undoubtedly imbued with magic.
The lightning on the shield flickered even more intensely. Since the spaceship had no comparable data on magical energy, it chose to unleash even more energy, using brute force to overcome any challenge.
"It's working! Continue the attack!" shouted the Amazonian queen.
The reaction on the shields was getting stronger, which boosted the morale of the Amazons, even though the Octopus Ship was still moving steadily forward.
Soon, the Octopus Ship arrived at the center of Paradise Island. It hovered in the air and stopped moving, while the electric light on its shields spread throughout the entire ship, making it seem as if it might shatter at any moment.
"Soldiers! Give it your all! Victory is just around the corner!"
The Amazons strained their bodies, throwing spears with ferocious expressions, each throw requiring all their strength, until their arms swelled up.
"Mother, something feels off to me?" Just as everyone was getting excited, Super Girl suddenly spoke up.
Even though everyone increased their attack intensity and the shields on the spaceship crackled with electricity, there were no further changes. Moreover, blue light began to appear on the bottom of the spaceship.
Moreover, the blue light was slowly growing stronger. Even though the people of Paradise Island had little understanding of technology, they could still associate this with the concept of "accumulating power."
Could it be that after being attacked by them for so long, the spaceship's counterattack is finally about to begin?
"Everyone, raise your shields!" the Amazonian queen commanded.
The instant she finished speaking, the blue light that the spaceship had been accumulating descended, a beam of light hundreds of meters thick that seemed capable of destroying everything. Most of the people were already prepared to die.
But the expected feeling of being shattered to pieces did not arrive, even though the blue light had already spread throughout Paradise Island.
After the blinding light disappeared, the Amazons hurriedly looked up at the sky. They really couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do. It couldn't just be for the sake of setting off a flashbang, could it?
Looking up, they saw a blue sky, but unlike usual, it seemed too blue, without a single impurity. The white clouds and the sun had all disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of azure. The giant octopus-shaped spaceship had also vanished.
Queen Super immediately stood up and yelled at the soldiers, "Stop standing there! Pick up your weapons and find it for me! The war isn't over yet!"
The soldiers quickly formed ranks, but just then, the Amazonian queen spoke.
No, it's over.
