159 Superman Prime: Collapse of the universe
The Iridescent Chests appeared on a screen in front of Allen, but in incognito mode so that no one else saw that screen.
Allen opened one, and a light of multiple colors entered his body. Each chest is a deadly aura; could Allen defeat death three times?
...
An instant later...
Allen's eyes opened.
His gaze was calm like ice but contained an unbreakable will. Without hesitation, he gritted his teeth and attacked Superman.
His speed reached that of light. Superman opened his eyes when he saw a fist about to hit him.
He moved his head and dodged Allen's blow. Behind Superman, space deformed terrifyingly as if a massive black hole appeared next to Earth.
However, the Earth was fine, a massive white shield covered it, protecting it. Even in a dying world, there are still people surviving there. Clown Crown shimmered behind Allen as if expressing its joy at being useful.
"Thank you, Clown Crown..." Allen thanked quietly as he caressed the innocence on his shoulder.
Superman attacked Allen with his fist at a speed similar to Allen's, but Allen stopped it. The collision created an explosion capable of easily erasing a planet. The moon, or what was left of it, was also protected by Clown Crown; previously, Allen couldn't afford that luxury.
Allen kicked Superman away. Superman responded with his heat vision, which Allen dodged, and the energy beams were lost in space.
Superman narrowed his eyes when he saw the level of his opponent. Allen was strong, very strong, and therefore...
"You are an obstacle to Darkseid... I must eliminate you."
Superman's voice lacked mercy or any emotion; it was as if he didn't even consider Allen a person, just an obstacle that must be eradicated. This was at the behest of Darkseid; he wanted a weapon, and weapons don't need emotions.
"...!" Allen was surprised to lose sight of Superman.
Superman charged at Allen at a speed faster than light. Allen felt his stomach pierced, and indeed it was; blood gushed, but the force was such that Allen didn't have time to worry about it.
"Ugh..."
Allen protected his body, knowing what would happen when he crossed the speed of light. Superman, on the other hand, didn't seem to need any defense.
Allen gathered a large amount of ki in his hands. Superman stopped charging at Allen and backed away. Allen fired the ki blast anyway, but Superman dodged and walked away.
Allen didn't let Superman escape and followed him. He fired a barrage of ki blast that Superman countered with his heat vision.
Allen complained about the pain in his stomach and stopped his attack. His stomach had a fist-sized hole. Allen activated the cursed reverse technique and looked at Clark suspended not far away.
Allen muttered something and activated his six eyes again, surprising the spectators because he should have lost the ability to use them long ago.
Allen looked at Superman, who shot his heat vision. Allen quickly dodged, but the planet Mars behind Allen was cut in half.
Allen appeared above Superman; he kicked him so hard that it created a gravitational wave across space.
Superman flew through the deformed space and crashed into Mercury. Superman, annoyed, emerged from the planet while destroying it. There was no reason to do it; he simply did it.
Allen remained in space with Mars split in half behind him; his face looked pale and clearly worn out, blood was coming out of his mouth, and he was injured.
Some people lamented, and others cursed; many girls close to Allen began to cry, and the strongest ones gritted their teeth with anger.
But all that didn't enter Allen's eyes; he would apologize in the future, but now he must focus.
Both men looked in each other's direction; they were so far apart that it would take light almost ten minutes to travel that distance. However, Superman took a step, just one step, and he arrived in front of Allen. It wasn't teleportation, just speed.

Gilgamesh – Illogical...
PercyJ – He's a monster. One thing is to see him in comics, but in reality, it's terrifying how something so powerful can exist.
Aizen – His eyes...
TheEmperor – I've seen countless brave men, and I know when one is willing to die. Allen Walker... he has no intention of losing.
===
Allen's actions astonished everyone as much as Superman.
Allen closed his eyes and recovered...
Just like that, no complicated spells, no processes; it simply seemed that Allen went from looking completely exhausted to being fine.
===
Rick – WTF!
MCdragon – He's also a monster.
Gwen – Don't give me these scares!!
Natasha – MJ is crying; you'll pay for this, Allen... but thanks for being okay.
===
Superman analyzed what Allen had done with his cold eyes. Allen had recovered from the damage instantly, but it wasn't because of regenerative power or magic; Allen seemed to return to his best state.
===
Rick – that kid is crazy!!
Aizen – a very extreme way... but it's impressive...
Hestia – What's happening? Tell me what's happening? Is he okay?!
Athena – That boy is using powers he can't handle, receiving mortal damage with each use, but going back in time each time he reaches the limit.
Hestia – Huh?!
Felicia – you're not serious, right?! Hey!!
Rogue – This can't be...
Diana – Fool...
===
So, it was impossible for Allen to handle the power of the three Iridescent Chests, not to mention that each one was a deadly gamble.
Allen knew that and thought outside the box. By closing his eyes, Allen didn't train with any person; what he did was acquire an ability related to time and refine and enhance it to reach that level.
How did he do it? With credits and the system's capabilities, Allen had earned a massive amount of credits due to the constant fame and virality he had gained these days.
With the system's help, he bought an ability called "Temporal Bug" of green grade. At first, it simply granted the ability to amplify one second to two seconds, which meant that the world would seem twice as slow for one second, but only that.
Allen combined that ability with two others, "Slow Motion" and "Deyabu," whose effects are literal, and as a result, the ability "Temporal State" was born. Allen evolved that ability into one called "Second Chance," which allowed him to revert his current physical state to a previous one, but it couldn't exceed thirty seconds. It was a save point.
Allen amplified this ability with approximately twenty million credits. In addition, he used more than a thousand chests as enhancers.
All these characteristics were already in the system before coming to DC, but Allen never used them. Now, when he found himself cornered, not even the fragments of destiny he used, which amounted to almost two hundred, could bring him to the level of this Superman, so, he decided to do it.
Allen understood the harsh reality of DC comics, where a character can go from being a common person to destroying universes. Ironically, the plot of this universe is almost identical to that shown in the Snyder Cut.
This Superman may not have been meant to be so strong but he definitely was, perhaps an appropriate name for him would be... Superman Prime.
...
Allen decided that instead of gambling to gain control of the power, ability, and object within the Iridescent Chests, he would use their contents by paying the necessary price.
It had been said before that Allen could use the contents of chests of a higher level, but he would die in the process. With the evolution of the system and his own, he could endure more.
Before everyone's eyes, Allen is suffering massive damage every time he uses the power of one of the chests. But immediately he returns to his previous state. He's doing this madness to face this Superman.
And what are those powers?
One of them is...
[OPM World Limiter Break - Iridescent grade. Allows to overcome the limit imposed as a human being but at the level of OPM world - Time of use - twenty minutes, cooling - 10 days.]
Healed Allen broke the Limiter again to boost his attacks to an absurd level and attacked Superman.
Allen and Superman exchanged increasingly powerful blows, Allen gaining Saitama's infinite growth characteristics should be more powerful with each blow, however. But even so, Allen could not see Superman's limit.
Superman stopped Allen's fist and punched him in the stomach. Allen responded with his right hand hitting Superman's jaw.
Superman took Allen to the sun in a second and introduced him into the core where it was fifty million degrees Celsius.
Allen didn't want to destroy the sun, so he used an improved version of Purple to create a wormhole to a red sun. Allen grabbed Superman with a furious face and pushed him into the wormhole, but that allowed Superman to pierce Allen's chest with his fist.
On the other side, Superman saw the red sun and fired his heat vision intending to destroy it, but Allen covered his eyes at the cost of Superman incinerating his arm. This sacrifice is to expose Superman to a red sun for as long as possible.
Allen tried to heal himself, but Superman grabbed him and punched him towards a planet composed mostly of carbon.
Allen fell on the surface, creating a crater as large as America. Allen got up and returned to his previous point just before Superman appeared over him.
"Answer my wish, Crown Saber resonance at 1000%!"
With a glow capable of outshining a star, Allen summoned his enhanced and improved version of Innocence.
Superman flew forward with a blow capable of tearing the fabric of space, Allen countered with the same intention, time seemed to stop, and everyone saw their faces before they collided.
The impact destroyed the planet along with five moons, and unfortunately, the red sun, which had little effect on Superman. A supernova was even created by the attack.
But this didn't end there, Allen and Superman traveled through the universe, fighting with attacks capable of altering the fabric of reality itself.
Planets destroyed everywhere...
Stars extinguished...
Collapsed black holes...
"AHHHHH!"
"..."
As expected, Darkseid learned of this and silently watched his ultimate weapon facing an unknown enemy.
...
The entire Chat was silent, there wasn't a single person commenting, which had never happened because there's always someone who gets distracted, but not this time... Complete silence and attention to a catastrophic battle that simply escalated with each passing second.
Allen healed himself again, he had lost count of how many times he had done it.
Superman stood in front of him with several cuts on his clothes and body, although most were superficial, Allen had managed to damage him. However, unlike Superman, Allen had a time limit.
Allen activated his second chest while blood leaked from his mouth, ears, and eyes. By having two chests open, he magnified the received damage.
This time, Allen received a massive increase in magical power, he didn't know where it came from, but he felt he could do it. After all, magic is Superman's weakness.
Allen pointed his hand at Superman, who accelerated towards Allen. He knew which spell to cast, however, out of nowhere, the face of Gojo sensei came to his mind, and Allen smiled.
"White!"
