Two against one, Carl and Superman launched an attack on Barbatos simultaneously.
The tide of battle has finally turned.
Below Challenge Mountain, a chaotic battle rages among superheroes from numerous universes. If this place weren't the boundary between the main universe and the dark multiverse, it wouldn't be able to withstand even a moment's aftershocks of the battle.
On the mountaintop, symbolizing the central hub of the Dark Multiverse, a Superman radiating hope and an Anti-Superman brimming with destructive energy are fighting side by side.
Chapter 410 Batman Returns
Barbatos, Carl, and Superman have all unleashed their full power.
One entity, powered by the Dark Multiverse, has poured all the energy accumulated over countless years into this battle.
The other two, through accumulation and superhuman physical abilities, reached this level in a short period of time.
Their battles were completely beyond the reach of others; each of them was capable of destroying the universe while standing still.
The others didn't even have the ability to get close, and the only reason they're still alive is because Carl and Superman stopped Barbatos from attacking them.
Regardless of the reason, since they were alive, they had to do something and contribute their strength to the victory of this great battle.
As the Skywing race destroyed more and more of the human pillar towers, these dark heroes who refused to submit to Barbatos joined their ranks.
As 'batteries,' their internal energy is squeezed out in great quantities, but because Karl summoned hundreds of suns, creating a spectacle of a hundred suns in the sky, the Kryptonians within are able to quickly recover their strength.
The more human pillar towers are toppled, the greater the strength of one's side becomes.
The group members and superheroes realized what was happening and joined in, working with the Skywings to liberate more Dark Heroes, making this unprecedented melee even more chaotic.
However, even with the addition of a large number of Dark Supermen, the superheroes were still suppressed for a short period of time.
The previous vicious dark heroes rushed down all at once, leaving the Human Pillar Tower unguarded. The Skywing race launched a sneak attack, releasing a large number of dark superheroes who were not on their side.
But now that they have returned to defend, it will not be as easy to continue destroying these human pillar towers as before, and the progress has become very slow.
"We've reached a stalemate. If this continues, it will probably be a long time before one side gains the upper hand," the doctor analyzed.
“If all else fails, we’ll just have to make things even more chaotic,” said Mebius, who had already completed his body regeneration.
"what do you mean?"
"Discharge Doomsday Spores onto those Kryptonians! Transform them into Doomsday Superman."
She presented a terrible and cruel solution.
If someone is a Kryptonian and is infected with Doomsday Spores, then the mutated individuals can indeed gain immense power, surpassing that of ordinary Kryptonians.
But this is absolutely cruel. These Kryptonians from the dark universe, who have been tormented by the Tower of Humans for so long, will most likely lose control very quickly and eventually become indiscriminate battlefield meat grinders, carrying out massacres indiscriminately.
This is cruel to both themselves and others.
"Is there no other way?" the doctor asked, frowning.
"I don't have any left, and even with this plan, it might not succeed. The number of people I can infect is limited; this isn't about producing inferior products."
Doomsday's infectivity is certainly strong. With a Dark Batman supporting the Devastation, after fusing with Doomsday's genes, he easily infected people all over the world, turning them into inferior Doomsdays.
But creating a truly combat-capable Doomsday is another matter entirely.
Darkseid once created an inferior Doomsday and infused it with the Doomsday gene, but that was meaningless. The ones that were meant to smash ice were still just ice, and Superman swept them all away.
As for the Doomsday with combat capabilities, Mebius has already created many of them, making it really difficult to carry out large-scale, high-quality distortions again in the short term.
Everyone was at a loss. Although the spatial genius Spider was there, ensuring their own safety on this battlefield was not a big problem.
But unable to figure out how to change the situation, they couldn't relax at all.
And at that moment, they suddenly received a signal.
It seems that Wonder Woman's side is contacting them, wanting to join them.
"The fact that they specifically issued a rendezvous signal at this time of intense fighting must be related to the upcoming battle plan. We need to go and take a look first."
“Spider, can you take us there?” the doctor asked.
Spider nodded silently, leading everyone to teleport continuously across the battlefield.
The surrounding environment was extremely chaotic, with countless energies bombarding the space, causing severe interference. Even a genius like Spider-Man could only move a short distance at a time.
Fortunately, the other side was also moving, and the two sides moved closer to each other and soon successfully met up.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find us?" Möbius asked.
“This was Batman’s idea,” Wonder Woman said.
"Batman?"
"Yes, it's me."
Supported by the other heroes, Batman, looking very weak, appeared before everyone.
Unlike the previous dark Batmen, even when he was weak, his words were filled with conviction, because he was the real Batman, the Batman of the main universe.
He was originally trapped on the Tower of Human Pillars by Barbatos, who used him as a backdoor, but now that the final battle is over, Batman's role is no longer as significant.
With the tower of human pillars largely destroyed, Batman, who had been trapped on it, was rescued.
He was very weak, not only physically, but also mentally.
When his body was trapped, his consciousness was also pulled into a nightmare world and tormented, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.
However, because he was rescued in time, these hardships did not diminish his fighting spirit; on the contrary, they made him even more determined.
After Batman appeared, he didn't waste any words and said directly, "I have a plan that requires your cooperation. Superman and Superman's current power is not enough to defeat Barbatos."
"Ah, are you sure?"
"I'm certain. I obtained a lot of information from my nightmares during my time in the Dark Universe."
Batman doesn't know the current state of Cal and Superman, but he does know how much energy the Dark Multiverse can provide.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.
The simplest point alone puts Karl and his team at a disadvantage: time. Superman's explosive power cannot be sustained indefinitely.
Karl can fight indefinitely after combining with the Anti-Life Equation, but he will also be affected and become a terrifying life form with the desire to destroy the universe.
After understanding the current situation, everyone had a question:
"If that's the case, what can we do?"
“I don’t know,” Batman said.
Before he could even get angry, Batman continued, "But I know how to get the answer—with the Möbius Chair."
The Möbius Chair, a magical artifact that grants omniscience, provides the answer to any question that arises in your mind the moment you sit in it.
However, this chair disappeared without a trace after the Anti-Monitor died, vanishing into the multiverse.
Everyone was utterly shocked and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the chair is now?"
“As the last person to have come into contact with the chair, I at least know how to find it. We’ll discuss the specific steps on the way. I’ve come to you to borrow your spaceship,” Batman said.
To find a chair, one must at least have the ability to travel through the multiverse.
This level of spaceship is rare. The Justice League in the main universe originally had one, but it was destroyed when Barbatos was hunting them down, so now they can only use Carl's spaceship.
It was originally a modified version of Brainiac's spaceship, which could suppress Kryptonians, and has undergone several upgrades. It is also equipped with the Speed Force system.
Once you enter the Speed Force space in a spaceship, even an ordinary person can travel quickly through the multiverse.
Chapter 411 The Answer to the Question
When the group found the Octopus Ship, it was wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
Relying on its high-energy barrier and super-speed power, it frantically slaughters enemies on the battlefield. Ordinary dark heroes cannot withstand even a single strike from its tentacles; only those with demigod-like physiques are qualified to resist it.
The eight tentacles, like giant millstones, were frantically crushing the enemy.
This is not a suitable combat strategy. There are simply too many enemies, and no matter how fiercely we fight, it is impossible to end the battle in a short time. Such reckless output will only deplete the spaceship's energy, thus putting us in danger.
But there's nothing we can do about it; the person piloting the spaceship now is Deadpool, and he's too lazy to calculate the spaceship's energy.
"Alas! Kill! Kill! Kill! Fall to Deadpool's tentacles!"
His high-profile behavior attracted many dark superheroes.
They cleverly surrounded the spaceship, sending only a portion of it up to fight at a time, depleting the spaceship's energy and slowly but surely driving it into a corner.
Deadpool went too far. Even if Squidward's ship is powerful, it can only take on three or four Kryptonians at the same time.
Taking down one or two Dark Supermen is a breeze, no problem at all, but if there are too many, you're just waiting to die.
"It won't last much longer; we'll exhaust it in a few more minutes at most."
The Dark Supermen are like hunters circling a large prey; it may seem dangerous, but they have everything under control.
However, just as the Dark Supermen were eyeing them covetously, a colorful beam of light suddenly swept over them.
It swept across dozens of Dark Supermen with incredible speed.
The energy level of the light is not high, and as radiation, it is something that even a reasonably strong person can withstand.
Surprisingly, these dark superheroes, capable of destroying the world, suddenly became extremely miserable after being illuminated by the colored light.
Weakened abilities, muscle dissolution, mental confusion, and internal energy explosions all occurred in them, almost instantly killing these Dark Supermen.
"That's a kryptonite ray! And it's a deadly ray with several types of kryptonite mixed together!"
"Where did this thing come from?!"
"Damn it, it's Batman!"
In the distance, Batman had a new gauntlet inlaid with various colored kryptonite.
Different kryptonite stones have different effects, and this gauntlet brings together several of the most deadly kryptonite stones, except for gold kryptonite, making it a true nemesis for Kryptonians.
Batman only has blueprints for such deadly weapons; his usual approach to Superman is mainly to knock him down and prevent him from losing control.
But the people in the Dark Universe created it, so Batman simply led a group to steal a set of the equipment for himself.
Now that the Dark Supermen are on guard, it's much harder to hit them.
However, these people were already terrified and had no intention of fighting to the death.
