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

“No matter what, she is Doomsday. We need Superman,” Hal said, finally stopping his attack.

Chapter 187 Countdown

In order to complete the packing work as quickly as possible, Carl didn't even care about the damage caused by the excessive speed, and directly accelerated the Octopus Ship to Mach 3,000.

Wherever it goes, the weather changes and the damage to the environment is almost irreversible. Even so, it will take Karl about three minutes to shrink all the cities, and he must not be disturbed before that.

……

Gotham City.

Hal's armor was no match for his original Green Lantern ring, and Mebius quickly adapted to his attacks.

Seeing that he could no longer be of any help on the front lines, Hal decisively said, "I'm leaving this to you guys. I'm going to find Superman."

With Wonder Woman's cover, Hal escaped the battlefield and returned to the spot where Superman had crashed.

"Superman, are you alright?" Hal asked.

Superman replied weakly, "Cough cough... Superman put the Kryptonite dust into my body, and I need some time to recover."

“We don’t have that much time. Superpower is collecting cities, just like Braniac is doing. We have to stop him as soon as possible,” Hal said urgently.

"I'm taking you to outer space now; you should be able to recover faster there."

Superman nodded: "Please."

Hal picked up Superman and soared into the sky. Half a minute later, they successfully left Earth.

"Hahoo—"

The moment he escaped the atmosphere, Superman took a deep breath, just like a drowning person suddenly coming to the surface of the water; that breath felt like a rebirth.

The sunlight, undiminished by the atmosphere, shone directly on Superman, and it's no exaggeration to say that he was reborn. Every cell in his body was awakened, and the feeling of powerlessness vanished.

"Achoo..." Superman sneezed, completely expelling the remaining Kryptonite from his body.

“You’ve recovered, that’s great,” Hal said.

"Yes, I'm fine now," Superman said, then looked at Earth.

Floating in outer space, Superman locked onto the Octopus Ship piloted by Carl. Even without super vision, it wouldn't be difficult to find, because the weather damage caused by the spaceship's flight could be clearly seen even from space.

Superman, of course, couldn't just sit idly by. He stared directly at the spaceship, clenched his fists, and flew towards it like a meteorite. Once the two collided, even if the spaceship didn't crash, it would most likely be unable to navigate normally in front of Superman.

However, just as Superman flew into Earth and focused on the location of the spaceship, a huge monster suddenly jumped out from under the clouds and wrapped its enormous snake tail tightly around him.

"Don't bother him, okay? Don't you like playing with me, big brother?"

Superman struggled to break free from the snake's tail, but then Mebius grabbed his cape tightly and launched a series of attacks with his other hand.

Superman's heat vision burned a hole through Mebius's shoulder, but she still didn't let go. As the two fought, Superman gradually lost his balance and wobbled towards the ground.

The place where they crashed was originally called Seaside City, but now it's just an empty, giant crater.

Superman stood up and said, "Mebius, get out of the way! It's an emergency!"

Mebius also readjusted his snake tail and stood up, falling directly from tens of thousands of meters in the air, but neither of them was injured.

"It's precisely because the situation is urgent that I can't let you pass. He's in such a hurry; he must have something very important to do, and he can't be disturbed by you."

“Then I’ll have to defeat you first, and then go find him,” Superman said.

The beach city has been shrunk, and nothing here will be destroyed anymore. Superman doesn't need to worry about his powers causing damage to the surrounding cities; he can do whatever he wants here.

Superman instantly rushed in front of Mebius and threw a punch. The speed was so fast that if Mebius hadn't specifically evolved his reflexes, he would never have been able to keep up.

Although the speed was fast, it was still within an acceptable range. Mebius successfully used one arm to block in front of him.

Bang! ! !

A deafening explosion resounded, sending sand and stones flying everywhere. The intense friction of the air even ignited the surrounding ground. Moreover, the greatest damage from this attack was concentrated on Mebius.

Her right arm, which she had used to block the attack, exploded, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Only the bone spurs that had evolved from her previous clash with the artifact remained intact.

"Ouch, that hurts! Is this the power of Superman? If that blow had hit me on the head, I probably would have been incapacitated," Mebius said.

But Superman ignored her and looked up at the sky, preparing to take off and find the spaceship.

"Tch." Seeing that his words were not going to work, Mebius had no choice but to continue fighting, dragging his arm, which was only half-recovered.

It really hurts, but for Doomsday, being immune to pain is not a useful skill; in fact, it affects his perception of his surroundings.

Fortunately, Mebius was already used to pain. Every time she used the Honkai Beast's ability to revive from the dead, it was accompanied by intense pain. For her, it was just a little painful and did not affect her rationality.

She swung her enormous fist, the force of which tore through the storm, but Superman caught it perfectly.

With his arm almost fully recovered, he launched an attack from the right side, much slower than the previous punch. Superman simply stretched out his palm to catch the blow.

Bang! Superman was sent flying.

He immediately got up, touching his aching chest in confusion. Logically speaking, that level of attack shouldn't have hurt him.

Superman's doubts were quickly answered when a ghostly green light appeared on Mebius's newly healed right fist—the color of kryptonite.

Doomsday keeps evolving and getting stronger, making it extremely difficult to kill. On top of that, it has an almost cheat-like ability: it cannot be killed twice using the same method.

Doomsday's evolutionary capabilities are so powerful that it naturally possesses the ability to resurrect itself. During this resurrection process, its body undergoes exaggerated, targeted evolutions to address the cause of its previous death. Once it comes back to life, it becomes immune to the methods that killed it last time.

The Doomsday gene that Mebius fused with came from the cinematic universe, where Doomsday was created from the corpses of Kryptonians. Therefore, like most Kryptonians, Mebius had a weakness to Kryptonite, and in fact, his death was caused by Kryptonite.

But now, the resurrected Doomsday Gene has overcome this weakness, and not only that, it has gone a step further, gaining the ability to simulate Kryptonite radiation.

Mebius brandished his green-glowing claws a few times and said, "Now this is a fair fight, let's go again."

With the Kryptonite radiation, every attack from Mebius is fatal to Superman, because Kryptonite can ignore the defenses of the Iron Body and directly damage Superman's body, making Superman hesitant to attack.

Mebius finally gained the upper hand. If he continued to hold on, Karl would be able to take over all the cities in three minutes, and then he could just run away and stop caring about the Justice League.

But things couldn't possibly go so smoothly.

Mebius exchanged another punch with Superman, and this time she was injured again, even breaking her finger bones in two.

"Shouldn't you be weakened by Kryptonite?" she asked in surprise.

As a scientist, Möbius knew very well that being weakened by Kryptonite was a weakness ingrained in the genes of Kryptonians, and should be as absolute as the laws of physics; Superman should theoretically have become weaker.

"Ha... Huff..." Superman was panting heavily. The sweat on his body and the slight trembling of his muscles showed that he was indeed affected by the Kryptonite, but he was still fighting, and even gained the upper hand in every clash with Mebius.

"This is not scientific! If you're weak, you should look weak. How can you beat up an enemy while panting for breath? What kind of nonsense is this?"

Mebius doesn't understand one thing: Superman is strong because he is Superman, not because he is a Kryptonian.

The two continued their fierce battle, and the effects of the Kryptonite were still present, as Mebius's claws could still easily tear through Superman's skin.

However, this does not mean that she will win the battle. Even if Superman is exhausted, he is still Superman.

Superman circled behind and delivered a powerful punch, shattering Mebius's spine into several pieces. It would take at least 20 seconds for it to recover naturally, which meant he had already lost.

Their fight lasted exactly three minutes.

Chapter 188 The Universe on the Verge of Extinction

In three minutes, Karl plundered the entire Earth in his spaceship, leaving nothing but barren land in his wake. All inhabited areas, including Atlantis, were shrunk and carried away, leaving the planet looking cratered and uneven.

In any case, Earth is no longer habitable. Even if all the cities were put back, the atmosphere damaged by the spaceship's flight could not be restored, and humans are simply not suited to live in such an environment.

At this moment, Gotham City is the only city that still exists on Earth, and there's a reason why Carl listed it as the last one.

It's not just because the heroes were all here before, and the spaceship would be attacked if it flew over; the more important reason is that there is something underground in Gotham City that cannot be shrunk and taken away: the Space Probe Tower.

"Möbius, are you alright?" Karl asked, connecting to Möbius's yellow light ring.

“Are you worried about me? Don’t worry, I’m not dead yet,” Möbius said.

"So if you can still move, get back to Gotham City as soon as possible. We need to prepare to leave this universe." As Karl spoke, he had already arrived in Gotham.

The Justice League and the Ultimate League are still fighting. Deathstorm, who was the first to be knocked unconscious, has woken up and is holding Wonder Woman back, allowing Mebius to stop Superman.

The spaceship hovered above Gotham City, its four tentacles encircling the center, where blue light gathered.

Seeing this, both sides immediately stopped fighting and ran out of the city together.

Regardless of their objectives, neither side wanted to be reduced in size. Even if they wanted to shoot down the spaceship, they would have to wait until they had dodged the attack.

The four of them, plus Johnny Quick, who was casually carried along by the death storm, rushed out of the city at their fastest speed ever, narrowly avoiding the falling blue light.

In an instant, Gotham City, like the rest of the cities, was also put into a bottle.

However, there are still some differences, because Wayne Manor in this city was not shrunk in order to protect the space probe tower in the Eagle's Nest.

Karl hovered the spaceship in place while he himself landed on the ground.

As soon as he landed, the Flash rushed towards him, moving around in a blur and attacking him from time to time.

Carl took out the lightning scepter he got from Batman, swung it forward, and directly caused the Speed ​​Force to gather on the scepter.

The Flash, connected to the Speed ​​Force, wouldn't be directly drained by the scepter, but the Speed ​​Force stored in him was undoubtedly reduced. He could no longer maintain his previous high speed and slowed down in front of Karl.

Carl placed one hand on the Flash's shoulder, preventing the Flash from escaping.

"Let him go." The others quickly arrived as well, including Mebius.

She made a small deal with Superman: she wouldn't stop him from going to the spaceship's location, and Superman would take her with him.

Instead of responding to the Justice League's message immediately, Carl contacted Night Owl, who was hiding in the underground base.

"Night Owl, how are your preparations going?"

During those three minutes, no one was idle. Night Owl found a way to return to Eagle's Nest to adjust the space probe tower in preparation for the upcoming traversal.

“You’re right, there really is something outside the universe,” Night Owl said quickly. “Something unimaginable, enormous, is approaching our universe. I tried to use the Speed ​​Force to probe it, but all the signals disappeared. That must be the Anti-Monitor you mentioned.”

"Based on the location where the signal disappeared, we should be able to estimate the approximate distance and how far away he is from us."

"I'm afraid... now is the time."

Boom!!!

As the owl spoke, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky; what was striking was that this thunder was red.

The sky seemed to have been wounded by the lightning; a crack appeared, and the scarlet light grew deeper and deeper, as if the sky was bleeding.

The Justice League members also clearly sensed something was wrong; this phenomenon definitely indicated that a disaster was about to strike, and the entire universe seemed to be weeping.
