章節 182: CHAPTER 179
Superman stood at the entrance to the control room as he continued to stand guard to the device, adhering to Lex Luthor's command.
Lex had fucked with his head so badly that his influence over Superman's mind wasn't broken even though he had lost his psychic ability.
Superman clinged onto the series of instructions Lex had given to him as he continued to obey them like Luthor's little bitch.
He heard heavy footsteps approaching him from the corner. Upon turning his head for the source of the strange sound, he saw Batman closing in on him, dressed in a Mech Batsuit.
"Nice armor, Bruce." Superman said as he relaxed his shoulders, ready for whatever tricks Batman had up his mecha sleeve. "But do you really think some fancy suit would help you beat me?" He taunted.
"No, but I am hoping this might." Batman responded, hurling three Batarangs at Superman. Superman stood firm as he caught all three of them with his super fast reflexes. "Really? This was your great pla…"
Batarangs had exploded and engulfed the air around him with kryptonite gas. He was suddenly cut off from his speech, struggling to breathe in the kryptonite mist.
He coughed and dropped to his knees, reaching for his throat as he struggled to breath while choking on the gas.
"Breath it in. Do you know what that emotion you're probably experiencing right now is called? Batman asked as he took slow steps around the choking Man of Steel.
"That's fear." He continued. "It's a shame you fell susceptible to Lex Luthor's influence." He added as Superman suddenly got on his feet and threw blows as Batman.
Blows Batman easily evaded and blocked. "Don't worry I'll beat it out of you." He added as Superman watched in wonderment at how Batman was easily able to block his blows, even though he had been weakened by the kryptonite gas it still should have had an effect.
Superman threw more swings but Batman evaded them, held both of his arms and gave him a solid headbutt with his titanium cowl. He threw blows after blows at Superman who was forced back with every hit.
Superman tried punching Batman but it was blocked and he got a fist in his face instead. Batman threw a kick directly at the center of Superman's chest, sending him flying through the air and crashing through a wall.
Batman pounced on him, continuously kicking him around. Each kick lifted him off the ground and sent him through a short distance. Superman got to his feet but Batman wasn't letting him get any breathing space, he continued trying to disfigure his face with a barrage of punches.
Grabbing Superman by the neck, Batman smashed his head against the wall right next to them, gave Superman a headbutt with his titanium cowl, before throwing a heavy blow across his face as it sent him to the ground.
He looked down at Superman like a man who had literally brought a god down to the level of a mere mortal, while Superman slowly got on his knee as he came to the realization that the effect of the kryptonite gas in his system was slowly wearing off.
Just as Batman was about kicking the fallen Superman, his leg got caught and he was hurled through a wall instead.
Batman grunted in pain as he bounced on the ground and crashed into another wall. He groaned as he rolled over, struggling to get back on his feet.
They both got on their feets, locking eyes with one another as they stared at each other through the hole in the wall. Suddenly, they dashed at each other, Superman burst through the opening in the wall and they grabbed each other by the shoulder in an attempt to overpower the other.
Batman slammed Superman against the nearest wall, pinning Superman on it as he threw one blow after the other directly at Superman's face.
His metal fist kept hitting the Kryptonian until the sound of a metal clang could he heared and Superman stood without flinching or batting an eye, as if he was made of literal steel.
Batman paused, realizing what that meant as he took slow steps back. Superman looked down at him like some insect, a silver bat bug, he rose above the ground and drove Batman through the floors and onto the lower levels.
Although Superman was still weak, he grabbed Batman and aggressively hurled him through a section of the tower and into the huge restroom, causing continuous damage to the internal structures of the tower in the process.
Batman groaned in pain as he struggled on the floor, while Superman tried summoning what little strength he had acquired as he slowly rose to his feet again.
He heard the sound of a cocked gun and looked over to the direction it came from, only to see Batman who held a grenade launched in his hands.
Superman let out a battle cry as he charged at him, leaping into the air with a readied fist, willing to smash Batman with all his might when he got shot with another dose of kryptonite gas.
He choked mid air as fell to the ground, crumbling as he crashed into another wall. While Batman bounced off the ground, his titanium cowl had been damaged on the left side. Superman seemed to have landed his loaded punch as he fell to the ground, leaving Batman groaning in pain as small electrical sparks twinkled from the damaged region of his cowl.
Batman turned to see Superman choking on the gas, desperately trying to grasp whatever ounce of air he could get into his lungs.
He stumbled on his feet, walked over to a sink in the restroom and ripped it off the wall. He took slow but measured steps at the struggling Superman who was clutching onto his chest, facing downwards.
With determination and anger in his eyes, he smashed the back of Superman's head with the ceramic sink. The hit knocked Superman to the floor, flat on his belly as he groaned in pain from the hit and from difficulty in breathing
Batman grabbed him by his spandex as he pulled him to his knees, then grabbed his hair to stand him up. He held onto his neck and arm and he carried Superman on his shoulder.
He slowly walked with Superman on his shoulder, a few floors above the hanger in the tower, he threw him down the tower and Superman fell on a jet in the hanger, which resulted in an explosion.
Batman shot his grapple gun upwards and the hook found its way to a sturdy hold, then Batman descended through the smokes and upon the hanger.
He retracted the hook then tied it around one of Superman's legs and dragged the Man of Steel as he slowly pulled Superman behind him, into an open space.
"I bet your parents taught you, that you mean something…That you were here for a reason." He said as he kept on dragging Superman behind him.
"My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter, for no reason at all." He finally stop pulling Superman and turned to face him as he continued. "But here you are, letting yourself fall victim to Lex Luthor's mind control. It's either I beat you back to your senses, or kill you while trying."
He pulled on the grapple gun and swung Superman in the air, smashing him against every tech and vehicle in the hangar.
The sound and shockwaves from the explosions reverberated through the tower as the hook finally let go of his leg.
Superman fell to the floor, groaning in pain while Batman tossed aside the gun. "They taught me that this world only made sense if you forced it to. So it's either you take control of your senses and gain back your mental will or I end you in respect to the symbol of peace you once represented."
He walked over to a hidden locker in the hanger and pulled out a spear with its sharp end made of kryptonite, as he continued his speech. "In memory of the hero who stood up for what was right, in memory of my team member and colleague, my friend."
Batman extended the spear closer to Superman's face, the kryptonite spearhead shun really bright as he made a cut on the side of his face. He watched as the blood spilled down his face, proof of his mortality.
"Look at you." He said as Superman continued to groan in pain due to the long exposure to the kryptonite right up at his face.
"You are not a God, you're not even a man. As of now, you are nothing more than Lex Luthor's puppet and you have doomed our world with your own two hands.
He lifted up the spear into the air and was about striking him when he heard a cry from behind him.
"Noooooo!!!" He halted, turning his back to see Martian Manhunter approaching them as he held on to the walls for support. It seemed he hadn't fully recovered from the excessive dose of sedatives Superman pumped him with.
"Let me see if there is anything I can do to free him from Luthor's clutches." He said, struggling to get his steps in order and walk in a more stable manner.
"There is nothing you can do, he is too far gone. This is the only way there is to it." Batman said as he lifted the kryptonite spear into the air and thrusted it into Superman.
"Bruce nooo…!!!" Martian Manhunter yelled as he watched the blood creep across the floor.

章節 183: CHAPTER 180
*Inhales*
*Ahhh!!!*
"I love the smell of chaos in the morning." I expressed out loud as I stepped out my front door, looking unto the dark smoke clouds that led to the sky from a distance.
"You're kidding, right?" Selina asked, staring at me with disbelief in her eyes. I guess the situation the world currently found itself wasn't one she could easily tough out.
"I'm afraid he's not." Leo replied.
"Scratch that, chaos sucks… It reeks of blood, smoke and pollution." I exasperated as I sarcastically gestured like I was going to puck.
"Well, that would be my que to leave. Later Tom, hopefully we survive this mess." Selina said her goodbye as she hopped on her bike.
"Later beautiful, and try not to damage that sexy body of yours. Okay?" She smiled at my remark, while Leo just gave a half wave as she zoomed off on her bike.
She was probably going to get her stuff and evacuate the city like anybody in their right senses would do, but Leo and I weren't like those normies.
"What now boss?" Leo asked.
"We head for Metropolis, the heart of this attack." I ordered, turning to Leo as a smirk crept across my lips.
"I was hoping you would say that." Leo said with a mischievous look on his face.
Society is a mess right now and Gotham most especially, took it up a notch. Criminals trying to grab as much spoils as they could, heavy traffic due to the masses who were trying to evacuate Gotham, and the accidents many got involved with along the way.
Most parts of the city were engulfed with flames, hence the thick smoke. Buildings were on fire, so did vehicles that got involved in one accident or the other.
Luckily the police, firefighters, Red Hood, and Batgirl were on the case and each were trying to either calm or ease the minds of the panicking masses in whatever way they could.
With all the chaos, Batman was nowhere to be found. I guess he had to be either at the heart of the action or must be working on a way to forcefully send our unwanted guests back to their home world.
From what we saw on the news, the League members had their hands tied with the five soldiers who seemed to be in the commanding ranks of Darkseid's army.
I already sent a message to my mercenaries to stay as far away from Metropolis as possible, I wouldn't want them committing suicide by alien invasion.
If Darkseid was to show up anywhere, it would definitely be Metropolis. Leo and I needed to be on our way so we could get there as soon as we possibly could.
For me it's the thrill of having to fight someone of Darkseid's caliber, not knowing if I'm even strong enough to stand up to the conquer of worlds.
While for Leo, chaos meant busy heroes and occupied police officers. Banks and buildings which held valuables are literally begging to get rubbed, since the security guards must have already abandoned their posts and joined the evacuation.
Captain Cold and Heat Wave are psychopaths who enjoy the adrenaline rush of crime. They would go against the tides and risk their lives just so they could steal whatever they had their eyes on.
In order for Leo and I to get to Metropolis quickly and avoid the traffic jam, unlike the helpless civilians, we'd have to either use a private jet or I personally fly there. Well, I guess we'll go with the latter.
"Wait wait wait…. Do you really think you can take on this Darkseid dude? He's the definition of bad news, and I wouldn't want you getting yourself killed." Leo said with a hint of concern in his voice as we prepared to leave.
"But isn't gambling big what makes it so thrilling? The uncertainty of the outcome, but confidence in knowing I wouldn't go down that easily." I replied to him.
"Am just saying you're a smart kid, don't go killing yourself over a gamble that might cost you everything, including your life." Leo said while wearing his jacket and strapped on his cold gun to its holster.
"Careful Leo, you're almost sounding like you care." I teased.
"Of course I do, I wouldn't want that brain of yours to go to waste. Also, I guess you've grown on me quite a bit." He said with a lower tone before walking out the house.
…
[Back in Metropolis]
Wonder Woman flew across the evening sky as she communicated with the rest of the members on ground. "I'm currently headed towards one of the locations where the light descended from the sky. There's been commotion from each of the four locations." She said as she continued her flight, momentarily pausing her speech as she spotted the destruction which laid ahead.
"Green Lantern, Shazam, and anyone nearby should do the same, Cyborg has confirmed that they are soldiers of Darkseid's army, and commanders to the hostile forces invading our planet. Our mission is to defeat them and send them running back to Apokolips." She ordered over her coms.
Wonder Woman arrived where one of the portals had appeared, finding herself in a scene of utter destruction. Craters marred the landscape, a testament to the invaders' destructive arrival. Amidst the wreckage stood Granny Goodness, a menacing figure clad in dark, twisted armor, one of Darkseid's forces.
Granny Goodness, with her hunched form and malevolent grin, exuded a palpable threat. Wonder Woman, determined and majestic, approached her adversary. The air crackled with tension as the clash between good and evil loomed.
Their exchange of competitive glances was brief, but intense. Wonder Woman, lasso in hand, warned, "Your reign of terror ends now."
Granny Goodness, cackling, retorted, "The fun's just starting, my dear."
As Wonder Woman darted directly towards her, the battle unfolded with a symphony of blows, each clash resonating with power.
Wonder Woman's divine strength clashed against Granny Goodness's cunning and dark weaponry. The battleground became a canvas of acrobatics and might, a visual testament to the clash of titans.
In the culmination of their confrontation, Wonder Woman's lasso momentarily ensnared Granny Goodness. However, Granny, fueled by dark resolve, broke free and launched an assault. Wonder Woman, drawing upon her Amazonian prowess to counter, delivered a decisive blow that sent Granny Goodness somersaulting backwards along a short distance from Wonder Woman,
Granny Goodness got on her feet and closed the gap, jumped into the air with her weapon held up high as she descended upon Wonder Woman, striking a heavy blow of which Wonder Woman blocked with her sword.
Upon countering with her sword, the ground beneath her cratered due to the strength they both possessed.
The street which was now turned into a battlefield, echoed with the clash of their weapons as Wonder Woman and Granny Goodness continued their face off.
The fight went on with a lightning-fast exchange of blows. Wonder Woman's bracelets deflected Granny's dark weaponry, each collision resonating with power. The air crackled with intensity each time they made contact.
Granny Goodness, with a wicked grin, unleashed a barrage of relentless strikes, combining brute force with calculated cunning. Wonder Woman countered with unparalleled agility, her movements a dance of precision and strength.
The battlefield became a canvas of dynamic combat—Wonder Woman's lasso snaking through the air, momentarily ensnaring Granny once again, only for the dark warrior to break free with a sinister laugh.
"You naughty little monkey, Granny would spank you good." Granny Goodness said to her before blasting Wonder Woman with her dark weaponry, she evaded the blast with her bracelets before dashing at Granny with a clenched fist.
Wonder Woman, channeling the might of the gods, delivered a thunderous punch that sent shockwaves through the battleground. Granny Goodness, fueled by dark energy, retaliated with a surge of malevolent power, creating a chaotic spectacle of cosmic forces colliding.
"The anti-life equation shall be ours, and this universe shall tremble at the might of our Lord." Granny Goodness cried put as her weapon clashed against Wonder Woman's sword, creating sparks upon each strike.
"We the protectors of earth will send you and your companions back to Apokolips, Darkseid will never get his hands on the planet." Wonder Woman stated before pushing back Granny and delivered a strike upon her armor.
"Really now?" Granny rhetorically asked. "I must say you're one naive child to think that lord Darkseid, the conqueror of over one hundred thousand worlds, wouldn't be able to seize earth for his own."
"I'm not the one being naive here." She said as she threw a kick at Granny and continued her statement. "You are!"
Granny stumbled back and with a malicious grin on her face, she shot a beam of dark energy at Wonder Woman who dodged to her side and launched her lasso whip at Granny's feet.
It wrapped around her leg and she pulled granny into the air, slamming her into the ground with all her might. "This might take a while." Granny muttered while getting back on her feet, ready to put an end to the Amazonian princess and proceeding with her mission.
