Chapter 287 Supreme Superman Beats Up Darkseid
boom!
"Who are you?"
boom!
"stop!"
boom!
"No matter who you are, you..."
boom!
My name is Chen Tao, and my profession is Batman.
I bet Darkseid must be very confused right now. His main confusion is why Superman Supreme is attacking him like a mad dog, and why... Superman Supreme is almost ignoring me who is right next to him.
That's because I'm Batman, of course—well, just kidding.
Hehehehe!
Oh no, I've gotten addicted to faking a manic laugh. I started laughing unconsciously. I've always thought of myself as a serious person.
In short, the answer is simple.
Because at this moment, from my perspective and Darkseid's perspective, Darkseid was swinging a pendulum-like uppercut at Superman Supreme's chin, the deep red Omega energy bursting in his palm, while Superman Supreme responded with Frost Breath and an even more powerful series of heavy punches, leaving Darkseid stunned.
This seems like an perfectly normal situation and is very easy to understand, but from the perspective of Superman, what he sees may be somewhat... well, slightly different from reality.
I have warned myself many times that Superman the Younger is the closest to perfection among the different versions of Superman in the multiverse.
Trying to control him is, in most cases, wishful thinking.
However, the Blood Slaughter Bull, a personified entity of this kind of angry energy, will have its effects on the Supreme Superman perceived as a positive buff.
To some extent, that's true. A host possessed by the entity "Blood Bull," which represents the energy of anger, would naturally possess great power. In one timeline, Green Lantern Hal, possessed by the entity "Parallax," which represents the energy of fear, became Parallax Demon Hal, causing the heroes a lot of trouble.
Therefore, this buff undoubtedly increases strength, but the side effects also include the illusion that can be manipulated by Blood Slaughter Bull.
therefore……
"Give me back my Laurie!"
"Kryptonian, you're making a mistake..." Darkseid's eyes emitted a scorching Omega effect, colliding with Superman's heat vision.
At first, the Omega rays had the upper hand, but as Superman Supreme started screaming and clutching his head like a madman, the two thin heat beams began to thicken along with Superman Supreme's insane howls, eventually becoming as thick as buckets, pouring down on Darkseid.
Darkseid grunted, and the Omega Rays countered again, but Superman Supreme yelled louder and louder, his eyes turning into searchlights that shot out heat vision, engulfing Darkseid from the side and turning everything around him to ashes.
"Monkeys are funny to begin with, but they get even more mischievous after eating an apple," Darkseid heard Batman say sarcastically from the side.
"That's enough, you..."
Darkseid wanted to turn to Chen Tao and say something, but then, an almost waterfall-like torrent of hot gazes washed over him.
Darkseid managed to say, with difficulty, "Whoever you are, I can use any method..."
"Lori! Lori! My Lori!"
Superman Supreme is calling out his girlfriend's name again. Under the illusion of Blood Slaughtering Cow and multiple intelligence-reducing buffs, Superman Supreme has completely forgotten that his home planet, Origin Earth, has been killed by the Anti-Monitor, his girlfriend and adoptive parents are all dead, and even the timeline of the universe has been restarted several times.
He was just... desperately chasing after the reflection of that old time, futilely trying to scoop up the reflected moon from the well, only to watch it shatter and turn to ashes.
He tried to turn that world upside down, to straighten the reflection of that golden age, but things only cruelly and mercilessly told him time and time again:
Times have changed, and those days are gone forever.
Chen Tao looked at Superman Supreme. At this moment, with the help of the illusion, in Superman Supreme's eyes, Darkseid was no longer that rugged, rock-like face.
Instead, it was Laurie's face.
This is the anger curve that Chen Tao meticulously planned for Blood Slaughter Bull:
He sees his dead girlfriend Laurie everywhere → gets angry because his girlfriend's appearance has been desecrated → gets numb → sees Superboy Conor's face everywhere, with his girlfriend Laurie on his back.
As long as this process doesn't go wrong, it's enough to keep the other party in a state of anger for a long time.
"Kryptonian, I propose to you..."
"Where did you put my girlfriend? How dare you show her face like that?"
Darkseid's words were abruptly interrupted. He had instinctively wanted to ask a question, but in the end he held back and decided to speak properly.
"I don't know any Laurie at all!" Darkseid said. "Calm down, our fight is pointless."
But Supreme Superman completely ignored him. Blood Slaughter Bull conjured up some mocking dialogue in his mind, which made Supreme Superman furious.
He caught Darkseid's fist, which had been aimed at his face before he could strike, with his bare hands. Then Darkseid felt the surface of Super-Supreme's tiny hand gripping his fist bend backward.
What shocked Darkseid even more was that he was completely unable to withstand such a monstrous attack.
The enraged Superman-Prime Minister has begun to gradually overpower Darkseid. After all, he is Superman; he is the god in the comics who can absorb power at will, whenever he wants…
"You..." Darkseid felt that he hadn't managed to utter a single complete sentence.
"Your Majesty Darkseid, it seems you've run into some trouble." Then Darkseid heard Batman's voice: "Need any help?"
"No. I refuse. I am a god," Darkseid said. "I need no help."
Even when suppressed by the enraged Superman Supreme, Darkseid, with his rock-like hands gripping Superman Supreme's hands tightly, turned his head and looked at Batman intently.
"Darkseid will not need your help. First this Kryptonian you brought, then you, you will all die. I will stain my throne with your blood as the price for your daring attack on Apokolips. Kalibak will chew every bone in your body and present your skulls as offerings to my throne."
The Dark Lord threatened:
"I will tear off your wings, pluck out your tongues, and gouge out your eyes."
"You will kneel before Darkseid!"
"Yes, these are all great ideas. Maybe," Chen Tao said, "but you've clearly never been a god."
His expression was indifferent, and Darkseid saw a smile that seemed to be playing at the corners of his mouth, yet it also seemed not to.
"God looks down on the world from above. God does not interfere, God does not shed blood, does not weep, does not laugh, and does not love."
Darkseid turned his head, pretending to be focused on fighting the formidable enemy before him, while he heard Batman's voice echoing behind him.
"But you are different. You struggle, you fail, you bleed."
Superman the Youngster punched Darkseid squarely in the face.
Blood flowed from Darkseid's nose. The god himself began to bleed, just as he had proclaimed the fate that mortals would suffer.
"Put out your last card, Darkseid."
Darkseid heard Batman's voice: "Don't pretend you're helpless against Superman Supreme. You and I both know that's not true. A long time ago, after you conquered Apokolips, you grasped death, or at least the aspect that represents death."
Darkseid suddenly looked at Batman, the movement was so fast that it abruptly interrupted his punch that was about to land on Superman Supreme, causing Superman Supreme to punch him in the head. However, Darkseid did not pay attention to Superman Supreme. He used his face to block Superman Supreme's punch and stared intently at Batman.
"How did you know?"
Chen Tao showed neither sorrow nor joy.
"That's the Black Runner, the physical embodiment of 'death.' No one can escape him, and no one can outrun him. You locked him into a host to control him, and from that moment on, the god of death became your terrifying weapon."
"Others say that 'giving death to others' is just an adjective, but you alone wield death as a weapon to attack others."
Chen Tao said, "You've been keeping it all this time, not using it against Supreme Superman, wasn't it to guard against me?"
"Are you afraid? Because you don't know the full extent of my power, you dare not deliver a fatal blow?"
"Are you pretending to be holding back your strength because you don't know exactly how strong I am?"
"No, no, no, Darkseid," Chen Tao told him.
"That makes you seem cowardly."
As Chen Tao spoke, he slowly walked toward Darkseid, who was still exchanging punches with Superman at close range.
The dark red Reverse Speed Force began to entwine around him after the silvery-white particles flowed through his body.
"Show me what you're made of, Darkseid. Let me see what you're really capable of."
Chen Tao stared intently at Darkseid. He knew very well that even though Darkseid wasn't looking at him directly, he was still gazing at him in other ways.
Come on, unleash that attack.
It would be best to severely injure Superman.
Superman is so perfect, so powerful. There's no way to control a superman as perfect as him—no one can manipulate his mind.
He had previously given the Supreme Superman the Blood Slaughtering Cow potion and then fed him the most potent Joker Man potion, but there was still no reaction.
This means that in its fully activated state, the Supreme Superman is almost completely immune to any control skills.
unless……
Superman is seriously injured.
……
……
……
Darkseid... just like that... just left?
Hal, the Green Lantern, got up from the ground somewhat bewildered, looking at the battlefield in ruins.
It was noisy here just now, but now it's as quiet as a graveyard.
"Ah..." Hal moved his body and accidentally touched his injured area, and immediately gasped.
He used the Green Lantern Ring to create a makeshift support for himself, then surveyed the entire battlefield. He quickly spotted Martian Manhunter lying on the ground.
Martian Manhunter was severely injured again by Darkseid after getting up, and now half of his body is covered in charred coals.
Hal the Green Lantern knew that the other man wasn't incapable of healing these minor burns; it was purely a psychological issue that affected his physiology, making Martian Manhunter vulnerable to flames.
"I'm so sorry," Martian Manhunter said. "I'm really sorry."
"We survived, Darkseid is gone, Batman's plan is underway!"
After a long, stunned silence, Heatwave slapped his forehead, and a ball of flame shot straight up into the sky from his forehead: "We've won!"
"I'm afraid not, Amazon warriors," Wonder Woman's voice came from beneath the ruins. "By the way, is there anyone who can pull me out of the dirt? I'm a bit exhausted."
Shazam flew over and pulled Wonder Woman out of the ground. Wonder Woman, panting heavily, tried to find her sword in the ruins, but there was nothing there.
"I've lost my sword," she said.
"But I can still fight."
Then she gave up looking for her sword and took out the Lasso of Truth from her waist.
Diana felt incredibly tired, which was almost impossible because she was an Amazon and her body didn't produce lactic acid.
In one timeline, Batman, who is actually Bruce Wayne, once exploited this characteristic of Diana's body, using nanobots to create illusions in her central nervous system. This caused Diana to fight tirelessly against imaginary enemies until she was exhausted to death.
Therefore, Diana may never know what tiredness is, nor understand why she could no longer move after working for a period of time.
But Diana was genuinely tired, just like her friends in the scenario he described.
She felt weak in the knees. This was because the sustained burst of power far exceeded her usual strength limit. Wonder Woman Diana felt her bones groaning, her muscles resisting the fight, howling and trying to stop herself.
"Our enemy still exists, right here on the battlefield."
She told her teammates, encouraging and boosting their morale: "We must defeat them to truly call it a victory."
Wonder Woman's gaze fell on the Mite and Steppenwolf not far away, and...
Huh?
Where did Reverse Lightning go?
Is he plotting something again?
However, Diana no longer had the mind to think about these things.
She focused her attention on the magical worm that had already floated into the air.
Its enormous, transparent body rippled with multicolored light, as if it were brewing some incredibly powerful spell.
Wonder Woman felt alarm bells ringing in her heart.
"Prepare for battle."
She told everyone.

Yang Ge was never the best in the world.
But later, everyone in the martial arts world said he was the best in the world...
P.S.: This is a story about friendship, ideals, and reconciliation.
