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

Chapter 141 The Real Plan

In the city covered in yellow sand, a purple portal thousands of meters in diameter opened in the sky, making the already ruined city even more unsuitable for life. Only Durandal and the Imaginary God Remains were able to move on their own.

Meanwhile, at the base, the researchers were diligently recording the information they received from the portal using various detectors when an unidentified signal appeared on the airborne monitor.

"Your Excellency, something is heading this way at high speed. It's not from the imaginary space; it's coming from outside the city!" The researchers immediately reported the situation to Otto.

"Is he back?" Otto murmured, then stood up and said, "You don't need to worry about him. He's just a guest. I'll go see him. You continue your experiments."

Otto voluntarily left the base and went alone into the empty ruins.

"Mr. Superman, welcome back to Earth."

Upon seeing Otto, Karl didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Bishop Otto, what are you doing right now?"

"As you can see, I am observing different parallel worlds. Perhaps we can find a way to fight the Honkai from other worlds."

Otto's body is made of Soul Steel, which is nanobots, so when he lies, his body doesn't react in any way. This renders Superman's lie detector ability, which relies on his heartbeat, ineffective against him.

However, Karl doesn't need a lie detector test; Otto's words already violate the rules of the Second Divine Key.

"Is it really necessary to make such a commotion just for observation? You directly opened the connection between the real world and the imaginary space, and even attracted so many imaginary monsters. This is clearly not just for observation."

Otto argued, "But opening the passage will allow us to obtain more data, not just data from parallel worlds, but also data from the imaginary space itself, which is what we need."

“That doesn’t mean the passage needs to be kept open for so long, Bishop Otto. Don’t evade my question. What exactly do you want to do? If you don’t explain, I will have no choice but to forcibly close this passage.”

Karl didn't want to argue with the other party anymore. Otto was clearly up to something again, but Karl just hadn't figured out what the other party wanted to do.

Is there any necessary connection between resurrecting a person and keeping the passage open? It seems not.

“Mr. Superman,” Otto sighed, then said, “I am a human being, and I do not have your powerful abilities to ignore everything around me and firmly uphold my original beliefs.”

"If you want something, you have to make sacrifices; if you want to achieve something, you have to learn to adapt to the world. There's no way around it."

Karl frowned: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

What I wanted to say was...

"I won't let you stop me!"

Otto's mechanical body suddenly split open in the chest, and green light poured out and shone on Karl.

"Kryptonite...?" Karl immediately adjusted his posture, kneeling on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "Why does this world have Kryptonite?"

His cells were rejoicing; it was undoubtedly kryptonite, his body had given him the answer.

Carl simply couldn't understand where Otto had found the Kryptonite. Otto didn't seem like someone who had been to the DC world; otherwise, he should have brought back resurrection items, not Kryptonite.

Otto approached Karl step by step, allowing the green light from his chest to shine more intensely on him.

Otto also said, "I don't really want to do anything, because there is no fundamental conflict between us. You want to protect the world, and I have no reason to destroy it."

“Then why…” Karl said through gritted teeth. This intense kryptonite radiation felt amazing; he felt full of power.

“Because you certainly wouldn’t want me to bring the DC universe here,” Otto said.

Otto didn't believe that villains died from talking too much. He knew how deadly Kryptonite was to Superman, and without the help of others, the enemy couldn't possibly cause any trouble. At this moment, there were only the two of them nearby, and the people of Destiny wouldn't approach this place without his orders, so he was very confident.

Carl looked surprised, and this time he wasn't faking it; he was genuinely surprised.

"What exactly are you thinking, bringing over a universe full of crises?"

"No, that's not right. Even if you wanted to do that, you wouldn't have the ability. The power of the Second Divine Key has a limit, and this amount of energy is simply not enough to transmit to other universes."

Carl has a say in this matter, as he encountered similar problems when building the Cosmic Probe Tower. No matter how ingenious the design, insufficient power would make it impossible to receive signals from outside the universe, let alone influence other universes.

Carl's Cosmic Probe Tower borrows the Speed ​​Force, a power that permeates the entire DC multiverse, enabling it to probe other universes. While Otto is considered a genius, he shouldn't be able to accomplish something like this.

“The executor is not me, but the entire Imaginary Tree. What I do is simply provide coordinates so that the universe can descend to me, much like someone holding a baton at an airport guiding planes to land.”

Only the universe itself can accomplish something like crossing universes; Otto can't, and neither can the Honkai consciousness.

But the tree of imaginary numbers itself has no thoughts; it only expands and maintains itself through natural change.

The Honkai consciousness took advantage of this, just as Karl used the Speed ​​Force to locate the universe. The Honkai consciousness also used the Honkai energy that Bronya left in the DC universe to guide the Imaginary Tree to instinctively move closer.

His deal with Otto was to have Otto provide guidance in the real world, thereby ensuring that the universe being transferred would fall into the areas that his abilities could influence.

"Wait, you didn't already succeed, did you? That's why you were able to get kryptonite, which doesn't exist in this world." Karl needed to confirm.

"Not yet. The Kryptonite was made by me using the Void Archives. You know, it's the power of the Herrscher of Reason. As long as you know its structure, you can easily reproduce it. And I got the Kryptonite powder from the clothes that Miss Bronya brought back."

“Like this,” Otto said, spitting out a small piece of kryptonite from a ball of amorphous golden matter in his hand.

Otto loaded kryptonite into the conjured pistol and said, "After you die, I will analyze your cells to give the world the power to protect itself. I know it will be dangerous, but I still can't let you stop me."

"Goodbye, Mr. Superman."

"You're absolutely insane! I will never let you do that!"

Carl was getting angry. He had been investigating whether this universe was suitable for him to settle down, and he had put in so much effort to leave the DC universe. Otto was doing the opposite of what he was doing. Could there be anything more infuriating than this?

Chapter 142 Crushing

Farewell.

As Otto spoke, he pulled the trigger, and a bullet made of kryptonite shot out.

Kryptonite is not particularly hard; many alloys are stronger than it, and it is not suitable for making bullets. However, Kryptonite is special to Kryptonians.

Superman is weakened by Kryptonite, and his iron body becomes useless in the face of Kryptonite, becoming as fragile as an ordinary human body.

Otto knew that if he fired that shot, Superman would definitely die.

But Karl reacted extremely quickly. Unlike most Kryptonians in the universe, he was not weakened by Kryptonite, so the Kryptonite bullets were as slow as snails in his eyes.

Carl had plenty of time to resolve the matter rationally. He opened the chat group and immediately bought something from it.

Ding! The kryptonite bullet was blocked.

"What is this? A lead plate!" Otto stared in surprise at the lead plate that had appeared out of thin air between the two of them. The Kryptonite bullet was stuck on it. Although it could destroy Superman's steel body, that was all. Kryptonite would not have any additional effect on other substances.

"Oh no!" Otto didn't have time to think about where the lead plate came from. He only cared about one thing: lead would block radiation, and the light from the kryptonite couldn't reach Superman now!

Otto immediately tried to rush forward to destroy the lead plate, but to his surprise, the lead plate crashed into him at Mach 5 before he could even get close.

Otto was propelled a great distance by the lead plate and crashed into a collapsed building, at which point the kryptonite in his chest fell out.

Otto's body, made of Soul Steel, did not suffer too much damage. He immediately crawled out of the ruins, trying to retrieve the kryptonite that had fallen to the side, as his only chance of winning lay there.

Otto saw the kryptonite and was about to reach for it when a violent storm suddenly struck.

Otto had no choice but to fend off the storm, watching helplessly as the kryptonite was blown far away; he had no kryptonite left.

Otto couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself that this was bad.

The plan failed, and now he faces a prepared Superman. Even Batman hides Kryptonite as a sneak attack when fighting Superman, and Otto has already launched a sneak attack. Now he has lost his only advantage.

Otto raised a hand, attempting to use the Void Treasury to create kryptonite once more.

However, a red ray fell from the sky, easily severing Otto's right arm; the cut surface was molten metal heated to a red-hot color.

Otto looked up at the sky.

Karl's eyes glowed red as he looked down at him expressionlessly, like a god observing the folly of a mortal.

Otto instinctively took a step back, then suppressed the urge: "I actually felt fear, with my mechanical body."

Superman is as reassuring as he is normally, and as terrifying as he becomes when he turns into an enemy.

Although Otto used a mechanical body, he had not lost his biological instincts. The overwhelming power of the higher life level made Otto instinctively feel fear.

"We've already come this far, there's nothing we can do but continue," Otto muttered to himself, having lost an arm.

"Void Treasures, Mimicry—Heavenly Fire Judgment!"

The Void Treasury is like a mass of liquid metal, hidden within Otto's body.

At this moment, the metal surged from within, reconstructing Otto's right arm and forming a burning greatsword in his hand.

This is a replica of the Divine Key Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Its core is the Herrscher of Flame's gem, making it the most terrifying Divine Key in terms of attack power. It is also known as the Key of Destruction.

Its true form is currently in the hands of the World Serpent, namely Kevin, but the mimicry in Otto's hands is enough to unleash the power of the original aura.

"Heavenly Fire—"

Otto raised his greatsword high, but before he could even draw it, the surrounding ruins were melted by the intense heat emanating from it.

Karl watched this scene with an unchanged expression, then suddenly came up to Otto and blew a breath toward the blade.

Frozen respiration.

A layer of frost covered the blazing greatsword, and the transition from extreme heat to extreme cold took only two seconds.

“Bishop Otto, you must understand that even if you unleash this attack, I will be unharmed. On the contrary, you and the nearby base will be engulfed in flames. So I advise you not to do anything unnecessary.”

Otto put down his greatsword and said, "Actually, I didn't really intend to unleash this attack."

A feather suddenly floated between the two of them.

"This is what I really want to do, from Yu Duchen's illusion."

Otto had seen in the comics that, in addition to Kryptonite and the Red Sun, which could affect Superman's superpowers, Superman also often suffered from magic and illusions.

This is Superman's third weakness, and also the least fatal one, provided it is not used in conjunction with other weaknesses.

Otto looked at the motionless Karl and once again ordered the Void Archives to create new Kryptonite.

But at that moment, Karl suddenly placed his hand on Otto's head.

"How could this be?" Otto couldn't believe that the Feather Dust was not working.

Carl said, "Your illusion has too many flaws. You have no idea what the world I see is like."

“I can see the omnipresent electromagnetic waves and the atoms of everything. Obviously, your illusions can’t achieve that level of detail. Like now, I can see the changes in every atom in your body.”

Otto suddenly felt powerless. Although he had only made a few moves, he had actually used all his strength. Heavenly Fire Judgment and Feathered Dust were the strongest attack and control methods he could use respectively, but they were meaningless to Superman.

His opponent completely overwhelmed him, and in every way. Only now did he truly understand why Superman was called a god among men.

The pinnacle of human achievement is nothing more than a trick in the eyes of God, and can be easily exposed.

When humans face a god, the only thing they can rely on is the god's mercy.
