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

"What did you say?" Super Queen asked, puzzled.

"The war is over," the Amazon queen repeated. "We have lost."

Then, as if all her strength had been drained, she plopped down on the ground and sighed deeply.

……

……

At this moment, in the cockpit of the Octopus Ship.

Carl was fiddling with a newly formed bottle, with a black base and a light blue glass dome, inside which was a miniature island.

Karl looked relaxed. In the previous battle, the spaceship was naturally unharmed; the excessively high attack frequency was indeed a weakness of the shield.

However, the shield's fastest reaction time is one ten-billionth of a second, which is insufficient for Paradise Island's attack.

He calmly sailed the Squidward to the skies above Paradise Island and then activated the ship's capture function.

The original owner, Brainiac, was known as the "figure maniac."

Because his favorite thing to do is to shrink different cities, put them in bottles and collect them, just like some people like to collect models.

This is the spaceship's most important function. Karl was never sure if this function had been repaired. He wanted to find a city to conduct experiments, but there hadn't been a suitable opportunity until this time, when Paradise Island crashed into him.

Karl flicked the glass shield, inside which Paradise Island was now contained. However, due to the special material of the shield, they could not see the outside and could not even feel the vibration.

The bottle simulates a suitable environment and gravity, and apart from having their living space restricted, the people inside are not much different from those outside.

"No wonder Brainiac likes it so much. It feels great to have a miniature city. It's the ultimate dream for model enthusiasts."

Carl sighed, then set the bottle aside for the moment and used the spaceship's tentacles to lift the unconscious Luther from the sea.

To ensure the success of the operation, Carl even used the Octopus Ship, aiming to wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop and give them no chance to escape. The spaceship that could capture the city was more suitable for this task than Carl.

Luther escaped being shrunk by falling into the sea, but he still couldn't escape Carl's pursuit.

Chapter 114 Two Zansha

Carl returned to Metropolis in the Octopus Ship.

The citizens are currently in a state of fear and may act irrationally at any time.

From their perspective, the city suddenly cracked open with a huge hole, and the last mechanical octopus emerged from it. Even though its appearance had changed, everyone recognized it; it was the spaceship belonging to the alien invaders.

The spaceship reappeared, but Karl was nowhere to be seen. How could they not be terrified?

Carl also saw the situation, so he activated autopilot and went outside the spaceship alone.

He didn't say anything, but simply sat on the tip of the skull's nose so that everyone around him could see him.

Surprisingly, it worked quite well. The citizens seemed even more terrified when they saw Karl, but they showed no signs of descending into chaos. They all lowered their heads and went about their business.

In their minds, as long as they remain ordinary, they will not attract the attention of Superpower, nor will they encounter any external dangers, because Superpower will take care of them.

Sometimes citizens feel that having Superman around is a good thing, just like the short-lived superheroes who can give them a sense of security. But there are always people in the city who don't want to be bound by rules. If they make even the slightest mistake, they never come back.

This cruel method made it impossible for the citizens to forget their fear of Karl, so they were filled with inner conflict, feeling both security and fear in the same person.

Karl doesn't care much about other people's opinions. His values ​​have long been formed and are even harder to change after he gained the power of the Kryptonians. He will only do what he thinks is right.

The ground in the city cracked open again, and the Octopus Ship automatically returned to the underground base, while Carl brought Paradise Island from the bottle to his residence.

He placed the bottle on the display cabinet in the living room.

There were many trinkets that Karl found interesting, such as the Mora that Gan Yu had given him, a pure gold skull, and an atomic belt that could shrink people...

Most of them are useless props, and Carl even put Paradise Island on it, which is also quite useless.

The people of Paradise Island could not be used by him, and Karl did not trust them, so he either had to keep them in their shrunken state or kill them all.

But that's not the biggest problem; the real issue is the Super Girl.

Carl had already heard a faint second heartbeat while fighting with her, and he knew that the Super Queen was pregnant.

“That child, who’s just a tool, is incredibly difficult to settle down with,” Carl said, troubled.

The Queen cares deeply for her child, and that boy deserves it.

In the original story, the child would inherit his father Luther's power and go even further.

Luther's ability is to gain the superpowers of everyone he has killed after shouting "Zanza," and to deactivate the transformation by shouting it again.

This kid is particularly outrageous. Instead of absorbing superpowers, he absorbs energy. But at the same time, he no longer needs to kill people. He can absorb energy into himself simply by shouting "Zansha" at the other person. It's just unreasonable.

However, this kid didn't have much of a role; Carl described him as just a tool.

Because he was taken away after birth to absorb the energy of various gods, he ended up absorbing Darkseid's power in his dead state, which caused Darkseid's consciousness to be reborn in his body.

From then on, this child became Darkseid, and his death can be said to have been shrouded in mystery.

"Speaking of which, could I use this kid to steal the power of the Anti-Monitor?" Karl pondered the feasibility of this plan.

He gave up pleasure and spent twenty years preparing to leave Earth 3, all because the Anti-Monitor was coming.

If Karl can take this opportunity to eliminate his opponent, his life will be much easier from now on, instead of having to find a suitable universe within two or three years.

Carl glanced at the Super Queen in the bottle and quickly abandoned his idea.

Every ability has its limits, and no ability is guaranteed to be effective. Even Karl's magic immunity has its limits; he can't withstand magic attacks that can destroy the universe right now.

The divine power that child seized came from a newly born god, who was born after Darkseid was killed by the Anti-Monitor due to the instability of the rules.

The Antimonitor is fused with the source of the antimatter universe, the Antilife Equation, which grants him power but also causes him great suffering.

The Anti-Monitor made countless efforts to get rid of it, shaking the rules of the universe by killing the god Darkseid, and then made a great deal of effort to finally separate.

This child's power shouldn't be enough to shake the rules of the universe or affect the anti-life equation.

Furthermore, Zamsa's abilities disappeared after he became Darkseid, which indicates that the multiverse was the limit of Zamsa's power.

"For Zamsa's abilities to work, you have to kill Darkseid's real body first. But if I had that ability, I could have directly confronted the Anti-Monitor. I wouldn't need Zamsa at all. He's really useless."

Karl decided to put the matter of the child on hold for now, since it would be another six months before the baby was born. He could deal with it then, as the situation might change later. For now, he needed to focus on dealing with the other child, Zansha.

Carl arrived at the underground base and took out the Nushun Lasso, which he had specifically obtained from Night Owl before going to Paradise Island.

Luther was still bound by the tentacles of the Octopus Ship. Karl put the lasso around one of his heads, and Luther shuddered as the magical energy on the lasso jolted him awake.

“I…I am your…your…slave…” Luther struggled against the effects of the lasso.

He gained the power of many divine beasts, and his magic resistance was comparable to that of gods. Even the Slave Lasso could not subdue him directly.

Carl tightened the lasso and demanded, "Never mind that, tell me what your transformation spell is?"

Luther's face was contorted with rage, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and his teeth were chattering. This continued for a full 10 minutes, but in the end, the lasso prevailed.

“Zansha.” x5

As soon as he said this, a bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the base and struck Luther.

With a flash of light, Luther had transformed from his five-headed, muscular form back into his normal, lean body—the real Luther.

"My master, I am willing to give everything for you!"

After canceling his transformation, Luther, being an ordinary human, was naturally unable to resist the power of the artifact. He completely succumbed, losing all self-awareness.

Karl said without any mercy, "Is that so? Then you shall give your life for me."

He didn't intend to keep Luther alive. Luther was useless without transforming, and even after transforming, the lasso couldn't reliably control him. Killing him decisively was the best option.

Of course, in the spirit of making the most of everything, Karl prepared a special way to die.

Chapter 115 Lottery Ticket

The power of Shazam corresponds to the power of Shazam in the main universe. The two are extremely similar, both being granted power by lightning after reciting a spell.

Karl understood Shazam's backstory: it was a power from the gods. By simply calling out "Shazam," he could receive the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.

Shazam's power is a form of magic, a power channeled through incantations by a pact between the gods and a wizard.

The power of Zansha is different; it has nothing to do with the power of the gods, and the power it brings is undefined, used whatever is seized.

However, the common point between the two forces is obvious: they have no power of their own, but are essentially containers of power, and how they manifest depends entirely on what is inside them.

The power of Shazam is a vessel created by the gods. Karl asked about the power of Shazam, and it was something Luther was born with. Sometimes this happens; someone is born with strong magical aptitude, and even without learning magic, they will create their own unique spells.

In short, the container called the Power of Zansha already contains a lot of power, and it would be a waste not to make the most of it.

"I am not good at magic, and there are no Zamsa wizards in this world who can grant power. It seems that I probably can't separate the vessel from the power."

"Although it's a bit wasteful to do this, there doesn't seem to be a better way at the moment."

Zanza's power has high growth potential, but Karl probably can't use it because of his magic immunity, so he just feels it's a bit of a waste; these powers can only be used as firewood.

Traveling through the universe requires a lot of resources. Within the DC universe, the Speed ​​Force can be used to cheat, but once you leave the DC universe, the Speed ​​Force connection will be lost.

If the prepared energy is insufficient, it would be ridiculous for the spaceship to break down halfway between two universes.

"As Ariel the Demon Queen said, the power of magic is stored in the soul. Let me verify whether Luther's energy is indeed stored in his soul when he is in his transformed state."

Carl learned a great deal about the technology of the soul from the world of the spiders, one of which was extremely cruel and immoral.

That is the Soul Blender, developed and manufactured by the humans of that world with all their might, in order to extract all the energy from the goddess Sally and turn it into their own.

To die under this machine is tantamount to having one's soul scattered, with no chance of reincarnation. It is definitely an evil technology.

But as the old saying goes, evil people need evil people to teach them a lesson. Luther thinks he is superior to humans and will stop at nothing to gain superpowers. Karl has no qualms about using this technology on him.

After finalizing the plan, Carl gagged Luther with duct tape and rags, then retrieved the Lasso of Nushun. He was now just an ordinary person, and it was a waste to have him occupy the Lasso of Nushun's slot.

The Squidward's mechanical tentacles were still wrapped around Luther, and as long as he couldn't speak, there was absolutely no way he could break free.

Karl then left the hangar and went to his underground laboratory to begin building the Soul Mixer. He remembered the blueprints clearly in his mind and just needed to recreate them step by step.

Just then, a buzzing notification sounded in Carl's chat group; someone was tagging all members.

While working on his task, Carl absentmindedly opened the group chat.

[Time Spirit]: Mission complete! Everyone come out and see what the reward is! @All members

The previous mission world has already begun to settle accounts. Since the finishing work doesn't require as many people, Karl and some group members returned to their own world ahead of schedule.

[Superman]: Is it over so quickly? Did nothing happen during the last period?
