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

Chapter Fifteen: Let Go

Qiu Lie wasn't unwilling to help, but he had been warned not to intervene. Just as he received the Demon King's signal and was preparing to come over, a smartphone appeared out of thin air and fell at his feet.

Qiu Lie sighed. He really didn't want to answer the phone, but he had no choice but to pick it up because the person on the other end was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"Hello, is this D?" Qiu Lie said into the phone.

"That's right, it's me." A cheerful female voice came from the phone.

Qiu Lie was completely outmatched by his opponent; D was far superior. The system on the planet was created by D. Qiu Lie found D and created the system when the planet was on the verge of destruction, while Qiu Lie was merely granted administrator privileges.

Ironically, such a strong person also has a very unconventional personality.

When D agreed to save the planet, her condition was that the planet would become her toy. She could have simply replenished the planet's energy, but she chose not to.

So although the planet was saved, it was done using a skill system, turning a perfectly normal world into something resembling an RPG game, and it was only a temporary fix.

D never calls with good news. A long time ago, he told him not to attack Potimas, and last time he told him not to attack the Spider. I wonder what he's up to this time.

“Ariel has discovered an old human base containing a massive bomb prepared for your dragon race. She wants you to deal with it, but you are not allowed to participate this time.”

"I've already come up with an excuse for you. That spaceship is for the dragon race. If you go there, it'll be easy for them to drop bombs directly. See how thoughtful I am?"

Qiu Lie was helpless. He dared not disobey D, but he was also worried that others would not be able to deal with the bomb. If the bomb exploded, the planet's ecosystem would be completely destroyed.

"Are the people you invited confident in dealing with the bomb?" Qiu Lie asked, assuming that Karl and Tokisaki Kurumi were also invited by D.

"Hmm~ I don't know, but that's what makes it worth looking forward to." D's tone was still as irreverent as ever. For her, slacking off came first, and having fun came second.

Qiu Lie didn't find it interesting, but he knew he couldn't convince D, so he could only pray that the guest from the other world would be more helpful.

"I understand."

"That's all for now, bye-bye." The smartphone then disappeared.

Qiu Lie used teleportation magic to appear in front of Karl. The first thing he did was apologize to them, partly for his previous actions and partly for what was to come.

"I'm sorry, someone told me not to take action. I can only rely on you guys. I'm really sorry."

Qiu Lie didn't use the excuse D gave him, and directly explained that he was restricted from taking action.

He apologized sincerely, but this only enraged the Demon King: "You, you've always been so timid and hesitant, both before and now. Tell me, what use are you!"

Qiu Lie did not refute. He and the Demon King were old acquaintances, and he knew very well why the other party was cursing him. Sometimes he himself hated himself for being like this, watching helplessly as his beloved was turned into the core of the system, yet he could do nothing about it.

Just as they were speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake. A huge crack appeared in the wasteland, followed by a burst of flames shooting into the sky, and something flew into space.

After the flames died down, a dense array of mechanical units began to emerge from the crack, and the UFOs at the bottom also started up, soon to take off.

Carl was somewhat disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see the management intervene; in this situation, he had to step in himself.

“It’s alright, Mr. Qiu, it’s just some machinery, nothing serious,” Karl said confidently.

If the opponent is a machine, he can attack without any scruples. The opponent may look intimidating, but in reality, they are not at the level of a starship. For him, any such enemy would be a free kill.

“Mr. Karl, it’s good that you’re confident. But we need to be careful because there’s a huge bomb on that spaceship that could destroy the planet’s ecosystem. The most important thing is to prevent the bomb from exploding. Also, that machine that just flew into space—I don’t know what it is, but it definitely needs to be dealt with first. Do you have a way to get into space?” Qiu Lie said seriously.

“No problem, I can just fly straight into space,” Karl said, floating up.

Qiu Lie nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that D still had some conscience and knew that this group of people had the potential to solve the problem, which was why he restricted D's actions.

Qiu Lie then said, "Then I'll leave the space operations to you. As for the ground-based mechanical forces, although I can't take action myself, I can get the wind dragons in this desert to help..."

“No need.” Before Qiu Lie could finish speaking, Karl interrupted him: “I told you these machines are just a small matter, leave them to me.”

Carl tore open the clothes the spider had woven for him, revealing a large S-shaped mound on his chest.

Next, it's time to stretch our muscles and get ready for a big push.

A blur flashed by, and Karl changed his clothes in the blink of an eye, so fast that even the manager, Qiu Lie, couldn't see the process.

The red cloak billowed in the desert wind, like a bright flag, making people want to follow it.

"I'll be right back," Karl said, and flew into the sky.

The flames that surged from the crack were actually generated by the launch silo used to launch the machine into space. What was sent into space was a giant octopus-shaped robot. Once in space, this thing would search for suitable meteorites nearby and drop them on planets, posing a threat to people no less than that of a nuclear bomb.

At this time, the octopus robot had not yet flown into space, and Karl was much faster than it, quickly catching up with it in the stratosphere.

As Karl flew, he clenched his fists and raised them in front of him. When he reached the vicinity of the octopus robot, he showed no intention of slowing down and directly rammed into it with his fists clenched!

The sturdy outer shell built for space travel proved useless, tearing through like a thin sheet of paper, leaving a huge hole in the entire body before exploding with a loud bang.

On the ground, the Demon King asked Kurumi Tokisaki with some confusion, "Are we really just going to do nothing? Isn't it a bit much to let him face so many enemies alone?"

Kurumi Tokisaki looked up at the sky and said, "Perhaps, as he himself said, what we see as a formidable enemy is just a trivial matter to him. When we fought you, I felt that he was always a bit restrained. This time, facing the machine, we may be able to see his true strength."

"After all, he's Superman."

As they were talking, a huge explosion occurred in the sky; Karl had killed the octopus robot.

Chapter Sixteen: The Terrifying Side

The UFO-shaped spaceship had just left the ground and had not yet taken off. Ignoring the mechanical troops that were still arranging themselves, Karl used his thermal vision to melt a hole in the UFO's outer shell and flew inside.

If the UFO's intelligent program determines that it cannot win, it might just throw in the bomb and drop it, so Carl decides to prioritize dealing with the bomb inside the UFO.

His X-ray vision allowed him to see through the internal structure of a UFO. Although he didn't know what the bomb looked like, he knew that going directly to the area with the strongest defenses was the right thing to do.

As soon as Karl entered, a squad of robots and several tanks came to greet him. These things were rather boring. Although they were technological creations made by the previous civilization to deal with the dragons, to be honest, they were just so-so. The only commendable thing about these machines was the anti-magic metal on their surface.

These machines were created to counter the magic of the dragons. Only with these machines could they exist as cannon fodder on the battlefield. That's right, they were just cannon fodder. The main force in the human-dragon war back then was actually the goddess.

In the present day, the machines might cause some trouble for people using system magic, but for Karl, it's just a matter of glaring at them.

High-temperature rays gushed from Karl's eyes, and the machines that came into contact with the rays were instantly melted into pools of orange-red molten iron.

Thermal vision is very useful against metal. Carl then kept his eyes lit up the whole time as he walked toward the most heavily guarded room. He used thermal vision to deal with any obstacles in his way, whether it was mechanical troops or metal doors, they were all just a matter of a glance.

Karl remained completely unfazed by these guys, calmly making his way forward.

Meanwhile, the group of Spider-Man stood still, unable to see anything. After Karl destroyed the octopus robot, he entered the UFO, and they had no idea what was happening inside. Although Karl had already demonstrated some of his strength, they were still somewhat worried.

"Isn't there any way to see what's inside?" the Demon King asked Kurumi Tokisaki.

"No," Kurumi Tokisaki replied. If they used a chat group, she could communicate with Karl, but only she and Spider-Girl would know. Kurumi Tokisaki had no intention of acting as a broadcaster.

"Let me do it. Just showing you the broadcast footage shouldn't be against the rules," Qiu Lie said at this moment.

He is the system administrator, and anything within the system is easy for him. The system is essentially a grand magic that covers the entire planet, so theoretically Qiu Lie can use the system to retrieve images from anywhere on the planet.

Carl had made an opening in the UFO's anti-magic shell, which allowed him to penetrate it.

Soon a screen appeared in front of them, broadcasting live the situation on Karl's side.

On the screen, Karl's eyes glowed crimson, and everything in his field of vision turned into a sea of ​​fire. Any mechanical troops that dared to block his way were instantly melted into molten iron by his gaze and then evaporated by the fire.

The perpetrator of the inferno seemed to treat it as a very ordinary thing, his expression calm as if he were taking a walk, floating forward at a completely constant speed.

"He looks more like the Demon King than I do." The Demon King spoke for everyone.

"It's a little scary," Spider thought. She hadn't expected that just the red glow in someone's eyes could change their aura so much. She had always thought Karl was a sunny and handsome guy.

However, Spider wasn't really scared. During their time together, Carl had formed a kind and positive image in his mind. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of them that he hadn't done such a thing in front of them.

"We've reached the boss room! Go, Superman!" the Demon King cheered for Karl, and she really became much more lively after merging with the parallel consciousnesses.

On the screen, Carl nodded and said thank you.

"Alas, can he hear me?" the Demon King exclaimed in surprise.

Kurumi Tokisaki recalled for a moment and said, "He once said that his senses were more developed than those of humans. It seems they are even more developed than I imagined."

Carl was only a few dozen kilometers away from them. Theoretically, his hearing was good enough to hear sounds from the other side of the earth, but there would be too many sounds to distinguish them. However, if it was only a few dozen kilometers away, no matter how noisy it was, he could distinguish the source of each sound.

In any case, it's a good thing that Karl can hear them talking directly, which means he can communicate with them directly.

Carl had already arrived at the most heavily guarded room. He used his thermal vision to melt the door and floated inside.

Behind the gate was a huge robot, over ten meters tall, with a wild design. Its upper body was humanoid, while its lower body consisted of two large tracks. The parts that should have been hands were equipped with a bunch of mechanical arms and cannons. Judging by its design alone, its technological content was not even as good as the smaller robots from before.

But Carl knew that this was his goal. The core of the robot's mission was to find the giant bomb, which was both its energy source and its ultimate weapon. Carl needed to defeat it without detonating the bomb.

Qiu Lie recognized the robot and asked with some concern, "Superman, this kind of robot will self-destruct if it gets too damaged. Are you confident you can handle the bomb?"

Carl raised one hand and flexed his fingers, saying, "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Karl's figure disappeared from the screen.

Qiu Lie was stunned for a moment. Karl's speed was too fast for him to react to. He quickly adjusted the camera to look at the robot. He saw that the robot, which had been so aggressive just moments before, was now lying on the ground with a hole running through its chest, still crackling with electricity.

At this moment, Karl was floating above the robot, holding a small silver-white ball in his hand.

“It’s solved,” Carl said.

The bomb they were worried about was now in Karl's hands. It was a small, unassuming sphere, but if it exploded, it would be enough to destroy the planet's ecosystem.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was over. It came and went quickly. Only about two minutes had passed since the crack appeared, and a world-ending crisis had been easily quelled. It felt really good to have someone on the front lines.

"Well done, Superman," Qiu Lie praised.

"Yes, he's much more useful than you," the Demon King mocked him.

Just as everyone relaxed, the bomb in Carl's hand suddenly started beeping unsettlingly.

It was the UFO that sensed the robot was destroyed and remotely activated the bomb via radio.

When I first learned about Spider-Child, I saw the title "Demon Prince" and thought it meant "Demon Prince," but it turned out to be "Demon King Prince." I almost thought it was a man.

Chapter Seventeen: Bomb Disposal Expert

"Oh no! The bomb has been detonated!" Qiu Lie shouted anxiously.

"Qiu Lie! Stop being so timid and make your move!" the Demon King shouted at Qiu Lie.

"No, even using teleportation magic won't be enough!"

With only a few seconds to spare, complex teleportation magic was out of the question; all Qiu Lie could do was deploy the True Dragon Barrier.

The True Dragon Barrier is the prototype of the barriers on this planet. My Little Pony's anti-magic barrier is a replica of the True Dragon Barrier, but it's a flawed version that only works against magic. The original True Dragon Barrier, on the other hand, can negate both physical and magical damage.

If Qiu Lie wants to withstand the damage from the bomb, he must use this True Dragon Barrier. Most of his energy has been supplied to the system, and he is very weak now. If he tries to withstand the bomb, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die.
