"You honor your fiance's death by making someone else be the shield. I didn't see what my other version was like in your world but if he was alive today, he would be very disappointed upon you." Superman said. This was really infuriating for him. Devastator was already a pain in his chest.
Being a Kryptoninan on Earth, he always knew how powerful he was. Every step, every sneeze, each reaction he used to make sure that nobody was hurt. But when he saw Devastator and his other version going down the wrong way he could not hold it together.
In the series he understood one thing for sure. His morals might not have the same boundary line as the morals of others. What was right and what was wrong could be entirely different for another random person.
One person might find capital punishment totally offensive while others might just vote for it. And for this reason there was a voting system in Avengers and he was happy to see that there was even this system in the Justice League.
And now he got to see another version of his Kryptonian powers in his 'wife'. Yes, Clark had married Lois which John had brought and in fact they were expecting a baby before he came for this mission. It was one of his motivations, to make sure that their world survived.
And here he got to see another version of Lois. This was an insult to his wife. Like Superman, DC Superman felt the same. He had seen enough in his life to even let anyone insult the memories of his lost family.
And after so much time, he wanted nothing but to tear this person into shreds. Maybe the Darksied cells on his body were making him more susceptible to violence. If it wasn't for the stones around, he would have definitely jumped onto Lois to teach her a painful lesson.
Meanwhile Lois had tears in her eyes. She was trying her best to stop the bleeding and her Kryptonian body was barely holding on. She was just a host for the Eradicator but in actual true sense she was still human. She could never be like Superman who could do amazing things. There would always be a stoppage of how far she could go.
The fight against Zaraki exposed that, though she was immune to the stones, the strength wasn't up to par. The actual Superman would definitely be able to fight Zaraki toe to toe if he was 'charged' sufficiently.
"What do you know? I brought peace to my world. There are no heroes, no villains. No one dares to commit a crime. It was because of the Justice League that he died." Lois shouted between her tears.
"Fault of Justice League? I am not sure how he died but if you think members of the Justice League are gods, then you are mistaken. Only Gods have the power to save everyone. You are just a selfish prick who wants to rule the world and impose your ideals upon others. That is all you are." DC Batman came forward and accused her.
He was fed up with this woman.
"How dare you speak, peasant. It's your inaction that Gotham was in gutters. I took care of it. I killed Penguin, Joker, Scarecrow.. Everyone.. And you too. Because you are a disappointment to the people of Gotham."
"If we kill with no hesitation just because another person doesn't agree with us, we have another word for that. And that is anarchy. I can kill a person and then what? Another vigilante will follow me and just kill."
"Excuse me, why are you even debating with this person? We have better things to do." 616-Tony came forward and reminded the team.
"We need to move on, lads."
Lois was unwilling to see her death coming close. She wanted a world where her fiance was back. That was what Batman who Laughs promised her. And for no fucking reason the communications were jammed. She had come to see her fiance's face running on the treadmill but all she was going to receive was death now.
"You are too late. This world is going to die soon and a new world will be born where everything will be perfect. There will be everything that we wished for...." Lois Lane was hysterical as he stepped back and soon her back on the face of the wall. Byakuya slowly approached her, to put an end to her misery.
The farce had gone on for too long.
Lois had lost the ability to fly after her arm was severed. She had lost a lot of blood and in fact she was a little dizzy at that moment. Both of the Superman had already started leaving the room. No matter what, they couldn't see their beloved being killed.
Lois Lane continued with her hysterical cries until the last moment when Byakuya used his Zanpakuto to chop her head off. And thus one of the most powerful generals under Perpetua died.

章節 794: Lois Lane (4)
Zaraki in his bankai mode was more terrifying to look at. He really looked like an incarnation of a devil. All that was missing were the horns. If Zaraki seemed like a bloodthirsty maniac before, now he looked like someone who had crawled out of hell to reap the blood of anyone he could come across.
And right now his main point of interest was Lois. And that's what he targeted this time was Lois. Everyone was really getting serious now. The Avengers weren't perfectly happy with the arrangement. A person like Lois needed someone who had greater control of things around but then again she was a Kryptonian and only a high level person could take care of her and right now they didn't have one other than the Captains.
Sentry wasn't brought back to this mission due to his dual personality and Hyperion was in another team. So all they could do now was go by the arrangement the Captains had decided. Zaraki now was flying around and hacking at Lois much more furiously.
And after a couple of struggles, Zaraki finally got the upper hand. With one large hack, he separated her right hand from her body. The blood splashed all around and mostly on the face of Zaraki. His skin was already red due to bankai and now there were big drops of blood on his face and his haori.
Lois cried out in instant pain. The attack had gone right across her shoulders. Zaraki didn't stop there as he wanted another piece from Lois. She was already bleeding profusely. And seeing no other way to escape she went right to the only place where she could hide.
Behind Superman!!
She flew away fast and stood behind Superman. Zaraki had already lost quite a bit of sanity and already could differentiate between ally and enemy. He used shunpo and came in front of Superman.
1For Zaraki, Superman was just in the way. Lois was panting in pain. She was trying hard to stop the bleeding but there was no time for that because she saw Zaraki lifting up his sword to hack at both him and her.
She was horrified. She didn't expect a day would ever come when she would have to take refuge from another person. Batman who Laughs and Perpetua came to her on the promise that she would get her old fiance back. That was all she wanted.
But now she was using another version of her own fiance as her shield. And even then it wasn't effective. The enemy would go through anything just to kill her.
Superman himself was surprised with what had conspired in the last second because everything happened within the blink of an eye. Everyone's eyes went wide open when they saw this sudden situation. The Avengers who could keep up with the fight ran at their fastest speed possible. Iron Man used his celestial armor and almost teleported near Zaraki before he could kill their very own friend and leader.
But Tony and others who had come to save Superman, were stunned to see all the Capatin standing between Zaraki's blade and Superman. Even Yamamoto had come and used his cane and placed it on the neck of Zaraki. Every other Captain had incapacitated Zaraki from different directions placed their Zanpakuto or using their bodies to make sure Zaraki didn't take even one step more. (Imagine how Ichigo was stopped in hollow form by the Vizards when Hiyori went full crazy with Ichigo)
Everyone sighed in relief seeing that. They didn't really expect Zaraki to go full crazy when he was in bankai mode. His bankai was really a headache for everyone. He always needed supervision.
1"Yamamoto- san please don't use such kind of heart attacks next time." 616-Tony laughed in a very hollow manner in order to release the tension in the room. Zaraki who was stopped slowly came back to sanity.
"Tch!!! what a shame in the name of Captains."
"Should have given me the responsibility."
"Would have blasted this woman with my bankai."
The red skin and the marks slowly faded away and his sword turned back into the normal one which he uses. Seeing that everyone was standing in front of him and making sure that nothing would happen, he already knew what had happened.
He looked at Superman for a second before walking away. That one look at Superman was enough for him to understand that he had asked to excuse himself for whatever he had done or whatever he was going to do.
He didn't care about the fight anymore. None of the Captains said anything. Even Shinji, who was blabbermouth, didn't say a word. Meanwhile Lois who was standing behind Superman was the ire in everyone' eyes.
She was responsible for whatever just happened. Everyone was up to date with the bankai of Zaraki so they didn't really blame him for his insanity. But Lois took Superman as a shield.
There was no going back from there. Even DC Batman had a look of anger in his face.
