Karl's previously affable demeanor turned serious, his eyes slightly reddening as he said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you for revealing what I'm hiding?"

Mebius felt a chill run down her spine. Her transformation of herself was the most thorough, so she possessed the most sensitive intuition of a living being. She instinctively perceived the difference in the level of life between the two.

“…Ha…ha…It’s truly terrifying. No wonder the Yellow Lantern Ring likes you so much.” Mebius’s voice trembled slightly as she tried to calm herself with her words.

Chapter 161 The Weakness of the Human Body

Möbius's body began to automatically secrete a tranquilizer-like substance in an attempt to force himself to remain calm.

"The path to evolution is fraught with danger. I have long been prepared to die. As long as I die on the path of seeking the truth, I will have no regrets."

"I haven't told anyone about the fact that you might not actually be Superman, and I haven't kept any backups. Only I know this, so I haven't revealed your secret."

Mebius tried to appear more harmless and docile, knowing it was dangerous, but she was willing to take the gamble for her life goals.

Fortunately, her gamble paid off.

Carl quickly turned off the red light in his eyes, found a chair nearby, and sat down lazily, neither as friendly as he usually was, nor as frightening as he had been just moments before.

This is the real him, a person with a slightly Buddhist personality. Since he's been seen through anyway, Karl won't pretend anymore.

"Alright, relax. Tell me why you want to go to the DC universe."

Karl was just trying to scare Mebius. He had no grudge against him and didn't have a bloodthirsty habit. He wouldn't bother with Mebius unless Mebius provoked him.

Mebius adjusted her posture and sat down on her hovering suitcase. She knew that Superman, who would help them like this, couldn't be too bad no matter how terrifying he was.

"Everything I do is because the human body is simply too fragile."

“Continue,” Carl said.

Mebius abandoned his usual alluring demeanor and said seriously, "My mother died in childbirth when I was born. I had only seen her for the first time when she was gone. Her death was so sudden, leaving me only an earring."

Mebius touched the earring he was wearing and continued, "I was raised by my father, who was a gentle and refined man, but soon illness struck his body, making him more and more haggard and irritable day by day."

"On my 9th birthday, he beat me up for no reason when I brought him the medicine, but I don't blame him because he didn't mean it. I know very well that he just couldn't fight the pain of the illness and the endocrine disorder caused by the medicine."

“After that day, I left my home because you see, humans are so fragile. Let alone resisting death, just a little bit of medicine can make them no longer themselves. I absolutely cannot allow myself to become like that.”

After saying this, Mebius looked at Karl with even more fervor than usual.

Karl understood Möbius's thinking; frankly, he could completely comprehend it.

Before becoming a Kryptonian, he also had memories of being an ordinary person.

I didn't really notice it at the time, but the difference became apparent when I compared it to my current body. Compared to the all-powerful gods who can go to heaven and earth, humans are indeed far too fragile.

He can now easily break through the atmosphere and survive outside the planet and even outside the universe, while humans, on the other hand, can die of dehydration if they leave their place of residence, even if the temperature is only a few degrees higher.

Möbius's words are not without reason. The human body is fragile and highly susceptible to the influence of hormones. Small changes in the body can easily lead to changes in temperament, and humans cannot control themselves.

If the world were ordinary, that would be fine, but now a more perfect being is placed in front of Mebius. Just like she decisively began to study Honkai 5 years ago, how could she not pursue a bigger stage now?

Perhaps it was Mebius's will that reminded him of his former self, and Karl decided to give her a chance: "Mebius, I can take you to my universe."

Möbius's snake-like eyes gleamed: "Ah, thank you so much!"

Carl waved his hand and said, "Don't be too happy yet, I'm talking about the future."

Möbius asked, puzzled, "Huh? Does that mean you won't take me away in a month?"

“Yes,” Karl affirmed. “The time travel method I’m using now only allows me to bring inanimate objects. Otherwise, I would have brought the Lantern directly instead of just a few rings.”

Möbius fell silent and muttered to himself, "An inanimate object...?"

Karl got up to leave. He needed to go to outer space to see the progress of the Honkai consciousness. Unlike humans, they didn't need to do a lot of preparatory work; it had probably already started.

Just then, Mebius called out to him, "Wait, Superman!"

"Is there anything else?" Carl asked.

Möbius said seriously, "As long as it's an inanimate object, it can leave with you, right?"

Carl nodded in agreement.

“In that case, please come see me one more time before you leave. I’m sure I’ll find a way to leave with you then,” Möbius said earnestly.

“Alright, I’ll come, but I still have to remind you that the criteria for this are very strict, and your method might not be so easy to get effective,” Karl replied.

Möbius chuckled a few times and said, "Thank you for your concern. You are a true gentleman. Please rest assured, I will not be discouraged by the failure of an experiment."

"Ah."

Karl bid farewell to Möbius and then went to Destiny.

The current Destiny is much more dilapidated than when Carl first came, especially the cemetery area, which was almost destroyed by the Black Lantern Corpse attack.

Destiny has no intention of rebuilding that place. It is estimated that the Valkyries' graves will be placed on the ground far away from the headquarters in the future. Although the resurrection of the dead is an extremely special case, most people have been traumatized by it, so making such a decision is inevitable.

Karl landed in front of a church-like building, then stepped inside; Theresa was there.

“Theresa Academy… no, Bishop Theresa, hello.”

“Just call me Theresa. I’m not quite used to my current identity yet,” Theresa said to Karl, putting down what she was doing.

Theresa has only been in office for three days, but she seems to have matured a lot in all aspects. She works diligently in the office and has no intention of slacking off.

Sometimes, a person grows up so suddenly. Something happens one day, and suddenly a person grows up.

“Superman, you came here to borrow the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, right? We are ready and can open the passage to the Imaginary Space at any time,” Theresa said.

The post-disaster reconstruction work was very busy, and Theresa had almost no time to rest, but she also knew what was more important, so the preparations for the second Divine Key were always the top priority.

Carl said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. I need that passage right now."

Chapter 162 Infinite Kryptonite

A purple beam of light shot into the sky, and the gate to the imaginary space was opened once again by the second divine key.

The portal that was opened this time was very unstable, with electric arcs of energy constantly flashing around it, as if it could explode at any moment.

“Something seems wrong. Maybe we should wait a little longer,” Theresa said anxiously.

But Karl flew directly into the air and said, "No need. This situation is normal. Because the two universes are too close, the imaginary space becomes very unstable. Don't worry, this situation is acceptable to me."

Karl flew into the sky, and when he entered the imaginary space, the portal naturally collapsed.

"No problem, I can contact the real world through Bronya."

Karl ignored the passage behind him and instead began to observe his surroundings. This place was very different from when he last came here; it was filled with high-intensity energy everywhere. It was only because of him that anyone else would have been vaporized by this energy.

"The universe has become so close."

Carl could see the distant universe, like an endless sky; this was probably what it felt like when the sky collapsed.

Karl flew over there, trying to get closer to observe.

During this process, he could feel that the energy concentration around him was getting higher and higher, and some purple 'branches' were beginning to appear on the dark sky.

"It feels like the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. It seems the Honkai consciousness hasn't been slacking off. The net formed by these 'branches' will prevent the universes from getting any closer. If all goes well, the two universes will drift further and further apart until they are completely separated."

This is the best outcome. Before him, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers has already regarded the DC universe as a harmful entity and is trying its best to repel it. As long as it succeeds, this crisis will be completely over.

However, how could such a thing be so easy? It's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away; there are people in the universe who don't want to leave.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but after Carl had flown for several hours and was very close to the DC universe, the branches that were entwined around the universe suddenly developed black spots, as if they were diseased.

The spots were expanding at a steady rate, and a minute later, a branch broke in two, its cross-section turning completely black.

This is certainly not a virus, since those branches are not real plants, they just look similar.

Carl's super vision had made it clear that the spots were not changes in the branches themselves, but rather streaks of light attached to them.

The black speck of light was extremely inconspicuous. Carl continued to approach, and he realized who was behind it all.

"Black Death Emperor".

The darkest night in this universe has undoubtedly ended, as evidenced by the fact that no new Black Lantern Rings are heading towards the collapsing universe; otherwise, the Black Death Emperor would not have spared any living being.

However, the end of the darkest night does not mean the demise of the Black Death Emperor. He is the embodiment of death and will never die again. Neither life nor death will ever disappear.

So the so-called end was actually the superheroes using the White Lantern to resurrect the first Black Lantern Corpse. In this way, the Black Death, as a concept of death, could no longer interfere with the material world, and life was naturally safe.

However, the outer layer of the universe is different; it contains everything, including both the material and immaterial worlds. The Black Death Emperor's power can be manifested through the immaterial part.

The Imaginary Tree is not a living organism, but to put it simply, it is currently relying on its body's instinctive immune system to reject the universe, and this level of resistance seems insufficient for the Black Death Emperor.

The current exclusion mechanism between the Black Death Emperor's powers and the Imaginary Tree seems to be 6:4, with the Black Death Emperor at 6.

“The Black Death Emperor wants the universes to collide so he can kill almost all life forms in both universes, except for those at the level of gods… We can’t let that happen,” Karl analyzed.

His philosophy was to do what he could; he fought without fanaticism, held power without being obsessed, and loved justice without being particularly fixated on it.

Faced with the current situation, Karl naturally did not want to see the tragedy of a cosmic collision. He wanted to stop it, but only if it was within his power.

"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, then we'll run away."

Karl decided to give it a try. He wasn't sure if he could shake the universe. He certainly couldn't have done it before, but now he could be more extravagant than ever. His source of power, Kryptonite, was now plentiful and plentiful.

"The Void Treasury." Karl took out the First Divine Key, which retained its cube shape.

The void holds all things; understanding and reconstruction are its capabilities. Theoretically, it can reproduce any matter. Of course, all capabilities have their limits.

There are some very special substances that the Void Archives definitely cannot create, such as the Infinity Stones and N-metals. These artifacts are absolutely beyond its capabilities.

However, Kryptonite is an exception. It is an element with very demanding conditions for its formation. It may have some unique characteristics, but if it has no connection with Kryptonians, very few people would care about it.

"Void Treasury, create kryptonite for me, use all your energy, create as much as you can."

He is now the master of Void Treasury, and the user's authority allows Void Treasury to begin executing commands before he can even express any doubt.

The cube made of soul steel began to expand, reaching over 100 meters in height without stopping, and finally created a huge piece of kryptonite.

The Void Treasury, having exhausted its energy, shut down and reverted to a small cube.

Carl estimated that there were at least 1000 million tons of kryptonite here, which would be like a small mountain the size of Godzilla on Earth.

These are all the purest krypton elements, without a trace of impurity. Just standing in front of them, Karl could feel the activity of every cell in his body.

He stood before Mount Kryptonite, just as Superman stood before the sun. When Superman emerges from the sun, no one would be surprised by how powerful he becomes.

Karl's eyes emitted scorching rays that incinerated the entire mountain of kryptonite into a gaseous state. Then, with a powerful inhale, all the kryptonite was drawn into his body.

The krypton radiation produced a wonderful reaction in his body. To the universe, a piece of kryptonite is insignificant, but when it encounters the Kryptonians of Earth-3, it becomes a different story.
