Chapter 460 The Stream of Light Piercing the Anti-Monitor's Chest
Thunder Zamza attacked Batman immediately.
Chen Tao silently looked at the other person.
Yes, that's right, he knew it would turn out this way. Why wouldn't he?
As for Alexander Luthor now, he has experienced the power of Superpower firsthand, and although he has not directly fought the Anti-Monitor, from Super Queen's description, he has already demonstrated his strength by beating the Crime Syndicate, which has no self-organized members, to a pulp.
But only Batman...
In his view, it was a target that could be tried to seize power.
Chen Tao stood there expressionless.
"My name is Lex Luthor, and I am your parallel universe counterpart." Suddenly, Luthor's voice appeared on his body, and then, Thunder Zamza's fist abruptly stopped in front of Chen Tao.
"You think I haven't considered how to deal with you? Give me a break."
He heard Batman's voice say, "We have a common enemy. If you've gathered information about me, you should know that I'm just a complete mortal, like the Ringbearer (i.e., the Lantern Man).
The Anti-Monitor was still fighting Superpower not far away, but Superpower was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Listen to me, man. You have real enemies to deal with, not me to deal with here," he said. "I know your ability is to murder superhumans to become stronger, so I've prepared a feast for you."
"With your abilities, killing Superpower from behind wouldn't be difficult at all. I guess Night Owl has already told you that he'd work for you if you could take down the Anti-Monitor, and so would I."
He spouts complete nonsense, his blatant lies flowing out like a never-ending stream of farts, completely outmaneuvering Alexander Luther and the Queen of Sussex.
Okay, no.
So Chen Tao wasted some time, exchanging punches with Thunder Zamsa in his fully transformed state. Soon, the opponent realized that this was not an opponent he could defeat quickly, so he immediately retreated and pounced on Super Ba, with Chen Tao following closely behind.
He patiently followed behind Thunder Zanza, like a cautious hunter hidden in a forest after a blizzard.
He drove the wolves as hunting dogs, wanting them to devour the large chunk of meat he was using as bait, so that he could see clearly what other hidden abilities this tiger had.
The tiger is also waiting.
But what he was wary of was not the hunter named Batman in front of him, but the web of fate woven by the dragon standing behind that hunter, a web that even he himself had not noticed.
So he just watched as the wolf swallowed the piece of meat in one bite.
In the final moments of his life, Superpower suddenly regained consciousness. He looked down blankly and saw a chop through his chest.
Superba didn't howl or roar. At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking at the world with the wonder of an innocent child.
The tyrant who often brings death to others has suddenly tasted death himself today.
People often say that when people are dying, they often look back on their lives, but at this moment, no one knows how Superb looks back on his life.
He was a tyrant from Krypton, unlike Clark Kent, the Superman of this universe. He had never loved anyone, nor had anyone loved him.
His parents told him that the strongest would survive, and his father killed everyone except his son who wanted to escape Krypton.
In the last second before the escape pod closed, he heard the following:
"Become the strongest in the world, Karl, or you'd be better off annihilating completely."
All weakness must be discarded and eradicated, whether it originates from the heart or the body... Only strength.
His adoptive parents...the Kents in his universe are scum.
Martha was a drug addict, Jonathan was a gambler, and they never taught Superb anything good, though Superb retaliated by doing even worse.
When I was seven, they wanted to escape the farm. By then, I no longer needed them, so I buried them in the cornfield, burned everything, and left to fulfill my innate mission.
Over the years, some people have tried to stop me, some have used me for their own purposes, and some have even tried to take advantage of me.
But in the name of the Crime Syndicate, I will focus on ruling my realm until he arrives...
In the final moments of his life, Superb suddenly and inexplicably remembered those who were loyal to him.
Lana Lang (Note: In the main universe, she is Clark's first love during high school; in the Superpower universe, she is his subordinate.)
Jimmy Olsen (Note: In the main universe, he is a photographer for the Daily Planet and a colleague of Superman; the same applies in the Superpower universe.)
Luma Rey (Note: In the main universe, she was one of Superman's lovers)
He had never paid attention to these people before.
They are all weaklings, only fit to frantically follow the strong.
But they are all dead now.
Lana Long rushed to fight for her Superman, only to be vanished without a trace.
Jimmy attacked the Anti-Monitor, then he was destroyed, his head, with its eyes wide open in death, was thrown in front of Superpower by the Anti-Monitor.
Luma also died.
Metropolis was destroyed.
Perhaps everything that Superb once cared about no longer exists.
And so... and so at this moment.
He raised his hand, but did not clench his fist.
He raised his head, feeling life slipping through his body, feeling Thunder Zansha draining all his power. He knew that the other was a battle mage who grew stronger by killing, and that if he killed him, Thunder Zansha would become very powerful.
so……
Despite having his heart pierced by Thunder Zamza, despite Superpower realizing he was being manipulated by Batman, and despite his body being riddled with holes, he still possessed the ability to launch a deadly counterattack against Thunder Zamza—
But in the end, he did nothing.
[Warning, warning, anchored item "Superpower's Corpse" has been detected]
The Alfred Protocol on Chen Tao's retina flickered, but soon a new message appeared:
[Error: No Crisis Energy found in the anchored item. Investigating the cause...]
[Cannot retrieve it! 】
[Cannot retrieve it! 】
【...Don’t come out! 】
After three huge, silver-white exclamation marks, there was another string of ellipses:
[Crisis energy has apparently been channeled into a new individual through some means... Please locate... Zzzzz... Please murder the new anchoring device, hahahaha~ Kill him, kill him!]
Chen Tao ignored the agreement that would once again be subject to his usual erratic behavior; he had never placed his hopes for victory on such things. This was true when facing General Zod, when facing Brainiac, and when facing Darkseid.
And so, at this very moment, Batman was silently praying.
Batman, I pray for you.
Everything is ready, and the plan is perfect.
I am about to spread my wings again and fly into the unknown.
I hope fate is a needle, not a thread; a cold winter, not the beginning of spring; a turbulent sea, not a warm, damp swamp.
I want her to cut me, pierce me, terrify me, frighten me. I want her to wake me up, not gently kill me.
I... I refuse to walk gently into that good night, I refuse to be swallowed by the gloomy twilight.
I will rage, I will rage against the fading of the light.
My heart is roaring, howling, and waiting.
I will rage against the extinguishing of light.
I pray for you, Batman, and I... I pray for myself.
Come, fate, let me see your magnificence!
In that instant, the instant after Thunder Zamsa completely absorbed the power of the Hyperion, silvery-white particles enveloped Chen Tao's entire body. Grotesque bone spurs and the Speed Force, a mixture of red and gold, clung to his body. Finally, after being cleansed by the particles, the true form of Dark Father was revealed: his obsidian-like skin.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Thunder Zamsa, who had just absorbed the power of the Superpower, hadn't even had time to rejoice when, in the next moment, he clutched his head in pain.
One abnormal muscle after another began to grow wildly on his body like slime, instantly turning him from a normal-sized human into a muscle balloon.
The next second, Doomsday's bone spurs and Parasite's tire-like purple skin appeared on his body. Superpower had used too much Kryptonite with added ingredients, while Johnny Quick had been injected with the DNA of Doomsday and Parasite.
In the original comics, after Thunder Zanza Alexander Luther murdered Deathstorm, he was even able to unleash Deathstorm's nuclear flames, while Deathstorm's power came entirely from the fusion of the two.
This is definitely not just about stealing superpowers; it's about robbing them along with their DNA.
Therefore, since Alexander Luther the Thunder was able to seize those useful cells, he could naturally... also seize those that had been tampered with.
In Alexander Luther's world, he once roamed the world with this power to steal the abilities of others, even terrifying the entire crime syndicate.
However, every gift of fate comes with a price tag. He had never encountered a problematic superhuman before, nor had he ever imagined that he would encounter a situation like this.
"Awoooo ...
"Honey, what's wrong?" Super Queen rushed over to help him up, but Anti-Monitor didn't have time to notice. He suddenly turned his head and saw Batman, who had merged Red Death, Destroyer, and Dark Father into one, with powerful energy gathering in his eyes.
The Ion Shark behind him roared and trembled incessantly. It was bearing the immense burden of having three SS-level Batmen fully possessed by Batman at the same time. Under such enormous pressure, the gorilla Grodd, the turtle man, and the entire Justice League could only help the Ion Shark to a limited extent.
The Anti-Monitor stood ready, looking expectantly into Batman's eyes, quietly awaiting his fate. But behind him, he didn't notice a portal suddenly opening beside Thunder Zamza. The flailing Death Storm fell out of the portal and landed with a thud next to Thunder Zamza. He was momentarily confused, looked up blankly, and then saw the Anti-Monitor not far away.
Holy crap, anti-surveillance agents! What happened?
Then he turned his head.
Holy crap, Batman! What happened to him? Did Darkseid possess him?
Then he turned his head again.
Then I saw Thunder Zamza's twisted, crazed face.
"save……"
Death Storm was about to raise his hand to unleash flames upon the Demon King who was so close at hand, but then his whole body went limp. He immediately realized that this was the effect of the drug that had been injected into him earlier. It only took him half a second to realize that he had been fed like fodder, but he couldn't stop it. And then...
With a snap, Mr. Skeleton died on the spot, and the next second, a yellow light immediately emanated from the skeleton body of Death Storm.
The next second, Parallax escaped from the Death Storm Matrix of Death Storm and flew into the sky, but was pulled tightly by a green chain that suddenly appeared from within Thunder Zamsa's body for some unknown reason, and he couldn't escape at all.
Before Thunder Zamsa could react, the green chains seemed to possess immense force, dragging the roaring and screaming Parallax monster directly into Thunder Zamsa's chest!
"What the hell??? What on earth is going on?" Thunder Zansha had no idea what was happening, but he suddenly felt that he had countless yellow powers.
The power surged across his body, materializing a Yellow Lantern Corps uniform. The other half of the Parallax monster, unable to squeeze into his body, transformed into something strange, like the Ion Shark that had freed up half of its body behind Batman not far away.
But despite the bizarre and incomprehensible manifestations of this power, there was one thing that Alexander Luther the Thunder was certain of.
He really became very strong, extremely strong, which was a bit worrying, because he always felt...
The next second, he found his hand uncontrollably snapping the neck of the Super Queen beside him. As the Super Queen, heavily pregnant and staring in shock, fell to the ground, Thunder Zamsa couldn't help but let out a wail at the same time:
"No!!! Louise!!! My child!!!"
But he soon ran out of time to wail. He suddenly clutched his head, realizing something was wrong. He felt something drilling into his head, then gathering and attaching itself to his eyes.
The pain was so intense that he almost felt an urge to tear open his skull, crack open his bone marrow, and scratch himself.
However, he soon lost control of his body.
He stood up from the ground expressionlessly, then faced the anti-surveillance person directly from behind.
Batman, standing in front of the Anti-Monitor, fired purple Omega Judgment shots from his eyes. He grabbed the foot of one of the unconscious blue men with his left hand and the hand of another with his right, holding them like shuriken. Then he hurled them at the Anti-Monitor. When the Anti-Monitor saw the two blue men flying towards him, his body glowed green, a sign of impending self-destruction.
As Thunder Zamza screamed in agony, his eyes flashed with the purple light of Omega Judgment, and then he unleashed a burst of power far exceeding that of Batman.
The very next second, Batman's Omega Effect suddenly veered in mid-air in a snake-like arc, merging with the Omega Effect emitted from Thunder Zamza's eyes before anyone could react. They zigzagged several more times in the air before diving downwards, and then, in a split second, their attack—
It pierced straight through the chest of the anti-surveillance agent!
