Chapter 283 Supreme Superman's Rage Through Apokolips
fury.
A furious outburst, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.
This burning rage filled the heart of Superman.
Originally, every Lantern Knight who wore the Red Lantern Ring was supposed to have all the blood in their body drained by the ring, and they would become raging spirits who depended on the ring to live, living in endless rage for their entire lives.
But Superman Supreme is different; he is too special and too different from others. No Lamp Ring has the ability to expel Superman Supreme's blood, and the Lamp Ring's inherent ability to distort the mind is also negligible in Superman Supreme.
After all, Superman Supreme is the most perfect Superman. Apart from a few Supermen who do not exist in their normal state, he is almost the strongest version of Superman in the history of the multiverse. He is completely immune to the control of the Red Lantern Ring.
but……
What if it's a blood-slaughtered cow?
Atositas holds aloft the red lamp furnace.
Just a few hours ago, he had released the Blood Slaughter Bull from the central energy battery of the Red Lamp and confined it to this small furnace. The monster had struggled all the way inside, forcing Atositas to be constantly on his guard to ensure that it would not suddenly break out of the furnace.
Blood Slaughter Bull had just gotten a clear look at what was happening outside the furnace when he was drawn to the furious Supreme Superman.
It smells so good! It smells amazing!
What kind of garbage did he eat before?!
In front of Superman, Blood Bull nearly lost his mind. He frantically rammed into the walls of the red lamp burner, roaring madly at Batman:
"Rage! Rage! Give me this rage, I need it!"
Then Blood Bull saw Batman leisurely run up to him, and casually control Superboy Connor, dressed in a Superman suit, to stand in front of Superboy and strike various bodybuilding poses, making the other guy almost explode with anger.
The angrier the Supreme Superman got, the more Blood Butcher's mouth watered.
"Let me out!"
"I believe you should say 'please' before asking someone to do something for you."
"?"
If it weren't for Batman catching me, Blood Slaughter Cow, red-handed and locking me up, I would have gone and eaten this high-end rage ingredient myself long ago if I had found it in the universe, okay?
"Alright, alright, please let me out."
"Oh, we can't just release you like that. The high-end ingredients you like are stuck to the Origin Wall right now. If we release you, you'll possess the body of the Supreme Superman and get stuck to the wall too."
Hearing Batman's words, Blood Slaughter Bull calmed down a bit and shifted his gaze from the delicious ingredients to where they were now.
Then he discovered the Origin Wall behind the ingredients, and the whole cow deflated: "Damn it! The Origin Wall sticks to you the moment you touch it, how are we supposed to eat this?"
It turned out to be a false alarm, and Blood Butcher was greatly disappointed. He had been so focused on the deliciousness of the food that he had completely overlooked the fact that there was a sticky mouse trap behind it that one could not get off once they touched it.
"It's still edible." Then he heard Batman gently coaxing him: "Don't keep thinking about food. Turn around and see who's next to you."
The Bloodthirsty Bull in the furnace finally turned its head and noticed Bain and the two decaying corpses standing beside him: "They reek of death..."
In an instant, the Lamp Beast understood what Batman wanted to do. He sensed the immense, decaying black power within Bane and nodded repeatedly.
"That's enough, absolutely enough."
Natural energies, such as the black of decay, the red of all living beings, and the green of all things, vary among different representatives.
Ultimate representatives who possess all the power of the elements, like the Swamp Monster, are few and far between. Even the Swamp Monster has subordinate representatives like Poison Ivy, the Plant Master, who shares the power of the Green of All Things with him. Not to mention the Red of All Beings and the Black of Decay, whose power is even more dispersed among different people.
In the original comics, the ultimate mastermind behind the "Urban Descent" event, Anton Arkansas, is not actually the counterpart to Swamp Thing or Maxine (Animal Man's daughter), but rather secondary representatives like Animal Man and Poison Ivy. The true ultimate representative is actually his niece, Abby Arkansas.
Now, with Bane's addition, Decay has once again gained a spokesperson on par with Anton Arkan. Before Abby Arkan, the true ultimate spokesperson, embraced Decay, Bane and Anton Arkan were basically the two strongest spokespeople for Decay, so how could their status not be important?
With Bain's help, it would be more than enough to pull the food off the wall.
"It's good that we were able to pull it off." Chen Tao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had previously studied Bane's body using the power of the Metal Spirit he had given him, even if Bane was currently unable to pull Superman Supreme off the wall, he was not without a way to use the Metal Spirit to suppress the Red of All Beings and the Green of All Things within Bane's body, thereby temporarily enhancing the power of the Corruption Black within Bane's body.
However, if Bain could meet the minimum requirements to bring people down under normal circumstances, then he wouldn't need to go to such lengths.
He whispered to Blood Slaughter Bull, "In a little while, I will release you directly and let you possess the body of Supreme Superman to enhance and devour his rage, but I have one condition."
He pulled a large bottle of potion from his pocket and said, "The regular Laughter Potion can't infect Superman Supreme, but if he's seriously injured or weakened to a certain extent, I don't believe it won't work. While you're possessing Superman Supreme, you must help me completely infuse these potions into his bloodstream."
Blood Bull saw Batman's face contort with various mysterious six-pointed star magic circles as he spoke, and he knew that although Batman's agreement was only verbal, it must be some kind of powerful contract magic. The other party was well-thought-out and would never let him fool him.
But Blood Slaughter Cow himself didn't intend to fool anyone.
Please, he just wanted to enjoy the fury of the raging inferno. What does it matter to him what happened to Superman afterward?
After all, once he's drained the other's anger, he'll happily pack up and leave, just like he's done countless times before. As long as he can get something to eat, he's willing to make a magical pact with Batman.
He immediately nodded: "Okay."
When Blood Bull saw Batman transform into Battositas right in front of him, he knew that the other must have also used blood magic, because as a Lantern Beast of the Red Lantern Corps, conventional spells would probably be ineffective against him as well.
After the contract was officially established, Batman visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he continued, "I know you're the type who generates anger while simultaneously devouring things. I'm not here to advise you to change your eating habits, but rather to offer you some help."
Chen Tao said, "I know that when you possess someone, you can read their memories, thereby creating illusions for them, or whispering in their ear to continuously provoke their anger so that you can continue to feed on them."
This is the Blood Slaughtering Cow's usual behavior. Otherwise, simply whispering "Hehehe, your whole family is dead" in the host's ear wouldn't be enough to keep the host in a state of constant rage. Creating illusions for the host and making the host even angrier is also the Blood Slaughtering Cow's main function.
"If you read the memories of Superman Supreme, you would soon discover that he has a beautiful girlfriend named Laurie, who is the love of his life and also his greatest pain. It was because he followed Superman to save the entire multiverse that the Origin Universe in which he was born was destroyed, and his girlfriend and his adoptive parents were reduced to dust."
Chen Tao said, "And the other thing he hates the most is Connor, who took his place as Superman. He believes that Connor usurped his life and that everything Connor has should have been his."
Blood Butcher Bull seemed lost in thought. Then, a second later, he realized what Batman wanted to say.
He saw Batman reach out his hand, and then a large lump of mud fell to the ground, coalescing into a faceless, red-haired woman.
"I ask you to use an illusion to make this mud-faced person appear as a woman's face, or Laurie's face, from the perspective of Superman Supreme."
Chen Tao said, "Then he'll be all lovey-dovey with Superman Connor. That level of hatred will be enough to overshadow his resentment towards me, thus attracting him to Apokolips through the blast tunnel."
Chen Tao had to do that, otherwise, if the Supreme Little Superman punched him as soon as he came down from the Origin Wall, who could withstand that?
Blood Slaughter Bull thought it made sense, but still hesitated: "Then your teammate is dead...?"
"Don't worry, you won't die," Chen Tao said. "You're not fake. Can't you use an illusion to deflect Superman Supreme's attack? Besides, it's actually to your advantage. Superman Connor keeps fueling Superman Supreme's anger, making it easier for you to absorb that anger."
"This is a win-win situation," Chen Tao concluded.
……
……
……
"This...this is simply an opponent we can't handle."
On the edge of the battlefield, Captain Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this moment, they were crouching behind the ruins of a building, witnessing Darkseid ravage the entire Justice League.
Martian Manhunter lay unconscious on the ground, having just witnessed Green Lantern Hal and Sinestro's combined attack being easily defeated by Darkseid. Shazam the Thunder had charged in alone, being the fastest to pounce.
"Honestly, I... I originally thought that guy was so big, he would be pretty slow."
Heatwave watched as the Flash and the Dark Lord transformed into two afterimages too fast for the naked eye to catch, constantly colliding with each other like spinning tops in front of him.
It was obvious that the red figure was faster, but this seemed to have aroused the competitive spirit of the huge black shadow. As it moved swiftly and nimbly, its blood-red eyes, which looked down on everything, made even the usually hot-tempered Heatwave tremble.
The Flash can hit the Dark Lord countless times.
He kept searching through the nearby ruins for hard objects like crowbars or steel bars, trying to pierce the other person's body with them while throwing them at high speed. However, no matter how much kinetic energy these steel objects carried, they could only be smashed to pieces against the rock-like body.
But if Darkseid hits the Flash even once...
The flashing crimson afterimage suddenly stopped, and the Flash spun backward like a tattered sack.
"That's terrifying."
"I want to go home."
"Oh my God, that looks so painful."
"Mamma mia."
Each member of the rogue gang made a comment.
"We have to get out of here." The golden glider's figure appeared beside the Rogues through the rubble of the buildings around them:
"I've cleared a large enough space, and Sam (the Mirror Master) is using his abilities to create a mirror large enough for us all to escape."
She said to her companions, "We'd better hurry up and..."
"No, we can't run now." But Golden Glider's words were quickly interrupted by his brother, Captain Cold, whose eyes were fixed on the four people standing quietly in the distance: Mite, Steppenwolf, Dr. Sivana, and Reverse-Flash.
They've been watching the show since just now, but Captain Han Leng hasn't forgotten about them.
"We need to find the right opportunity," Captain Cold whispered to his team. "We're facing an enemy beyond our capabilities. No amount of money Batman offers can buy our lives."
Aquaman Arthur, wielding the Trident, attempted to sneak up on Darkseid's eyes from behind, but he was immediately struck by the bent Omega Ray. He barely managed to block it with the trident, but the weapon in his hand was suddenly thrown off course by the immense force, leaving him wide open.
Darkseid grabbed his ankle with one hand, slammed him to the ground with a thud, and then raised his trident—
"Hey, you—" Wonder Woman grabbed the new god from behind with her Lasso of Truth and yanked him back with all her might: "Darkseid!!! Tell me, what is your weakness?"
Then her azure eyes met Darkseid's burning eyes, the deep red Omega effect surging and roaring in them.
"I have no weaknesses, Princess," said the Dark Lord, then he reached out and grasped the Lasso of Truth:
"I admire you, and that comes from the bottom of my heart. This artifact can prove what I'm saying is true."
Wonder Woman grunted, lowering her center of gravity sharply and plunging her feet deep into the ground, but this still couldn't stop her from being dragged towards Darkseid by his monstrous strength.
"Your strength is comparable to that of Big Badah. After he betrayed me, I finally found a replacement of sufficient stature."
(Note: Big Barda, a DC superhero, is a member of the New Gods and the wife of Mr. Miracle. She was once the captain of the Darkseid Nemesis team and defected to Apokolips after falling in love with Mr. Miracle.)
Darkseid grabbed her and swung her around like a flail, and the Rogues watched as Wonder Woman was planted upside down in the ground, with only her feet pointing towards the sky.
But soon the Amazon warrior roared again and pulled her head out of the ground, charging towards Darkseid.
"We'll just stay here quietly for now and pretend to be confronting those guys from the Meditation Mite," Captain Cold said.
He whispered orders to his teammates.
"Then we wait for an opportunity, for Sam (the Mirror Master) to leisurely prepare our escape route."
Captain Cold said, "Marco (the weather wizard), once Sam is ready, you start creating enough wind pressure to complement the blizzard. Mike (the heat wave), you keep up with the heat wave you create, and I will use cold air to assist Marco. The clash of hot and cold will create a thick fog that will cover the entire battlefield."
Captain Han meticulously planned the entire Rogue Gang's escape.
"Axel (the Magician), after I give you the order, throw out all those tracking bombs at once. Be careful not to be stupid enough to attack Darkseid. I want you to blow up over there, over there, and those houses over there."
He pointed out several buildings to the magician, who nodded to indicate that he understood.
The collapsed houses blocked Darkseid's view of them.
"Very good." Captain Cold nodded, then said, "Lisa (Golden Glider) has already set up a trap with ribbons. Even if Reverse-Flash reacts, it will be too late to stop us."
But the magician paused, and then said:
"But Batman paid us, is it really ethical for us to just run away like this?"
