181 Chapter 163 : Doomsday!!!
At this moment, Superman slowly rose from the ground and addressed Batman with eagerness:
"Bruce, it's Lex Luthor who coerced me into killing you in exchange for my mother's life!"
Batman, short of breath, realized he had nearly made a grave mistake.
"All this time, he only regarded Superman as an alien, a symbol, a false god that shouldn't exist!"
Yet, gazing into Superman's anxious eyes, he understood that Superman was also human!
Superman experienced joys and sorrows like any ordinary person, panicking and worrying about his mother's life like a son!
And, crucially, Superman had no intention of sacrificing himself for his mother's life!
This human aspect was beyond the reach of most individuals!
At this juncture, Lois brought additional news:
"The spacecraft that crashed in Metropolis is exhibiting abnormalities, voraciously extracting the city's power. Something bad is happening!"
Superman, solely focused on saving his mother, had no intention of dealing with the crisis. He just wanted to rescue his mother and leave immediately!
Batman intervened once again!
Contrary to before, this time, he looked directly into Superman's anxious eyes and asserted with utmost certainty:
"I'm going to save Martha!"
Offscreen, sadness flickered in Bruce Wayne's eyes.
He understood the significance of this statement better than anyone else!
Back then, he could only watch in horror as his mother died, helpless to intervene.
Now, the present Batman would never allow Superman to repeat the same mistakes!
This wasn't just about redeeming others but seeking redemption for one's own soul!
Superman gazed seriously at Batman for a few seconds and ultimately chose to trust each other!
This surprised Bruce Wayne.
Unexpectedly, Superman chose to believe in himself!
From the video, he learned that Martha was no different from Superman's biological mother. She held deep emotions and was the pillar of Superman's heart!
This revelation indicated genuine concern about the crisis posed by the abnormal spacecraft to humanity!
"Could there really be such a kind person?" thought Bruce, who, apart from Alfred, seldom trusted anyone.
He was slightly shaken.
Suddenly recalling this as the darkened video of Superman, he muttered to himself:
"Do you claim to have failed?"
The death of Martha and Superman going on a rampage seemed like a plausible scenario!
With Alfred's assistance, Batman located Martha's whereabouts in almost ten seconds!
Next, Batman illustrated how he became the nightmare of Gotham's criminal underworld!
He was like a shadowy dream demon, spreading curses of black steel, claiming one life after another amid the enemies' screams!
DC Main World!
A visibly younger Bruce Wayne had a profound confusion in his eyes.
He couldn't fathom why, in the video, his middle-aged self appeared ruthless and the assailant merciless!
What had he gone through?
Similarly, the Bruce in the DCEU world found it incredibly puzzling why the compassionate Superman would turn dark in the future!
[The battle rages on]
[Five minutes later, Batman successfully rescued Martha amidst a violent explosion!]
["Don't worry, I'm your friend's son!" Batman reassured, fearing Martha might be frightened.]
Martha nodded in relief, glanced behind Batman, and remarked:
"I know, you also have a cape."
"It's so awkward to be deliberately humorous!"
This scene disgusted Deadpool, who then made a mocking noise and mimicked a yin and yang tone:
"I know, you have a cape too, handsome."
A shadow passed by, and Deadpool suspiciously looked at the opposite side.
He saw Strange's red cloak hooking him!
"Come here... Deadpool can easily read the other party's intentions."
"Ha! You dare to challenge me, don't you know I am the strongest mutant!!?"
Uncle Deadpool, having suffered such humiliation, immediately engaged with the cloak!
[Boom!
[Traversing the universe, the incredibly sturdy gas star spaceship instantly bore a large hole!]
[Superman descended into the cabin, staring coldly at Luthor in front of the test stand!]
[Luthor turned around and quoted Mr. White Rabbit's line from Alice in Wonderland:]
"Late, late, Mr. White Rabbit."
"And, my dear, you seem to be missing something, like a bat head?"
Superman folded his arms, his eyes exuding calmness.
At that moment, Luthor's cell phone rang, and the call displayed his subordinate's number.
Luthor, with a smile, pressed the call button: "Hello, report the bad news."
However, instead of news about Martha's demise, a low voice of Batman emanated from the phone.
"I'll save you a spot in Arkham!"
Hearing this ominous threat, Luthor's expression changed, but he remained composed.
"You've lost!" Superman declared coldly.
Luthor tilted his head, locking eyes with Superman and sneered, "I despise sin itself, and you embody your own sin!"
"I offered the bat a chance to fight, but he's not strong enough. Since humans can't kill God, let the devil do it for them!" In that moment, darkness enveloped not only Metropolis but the entire northern part of the United States as all electricity was redirected into the gas star spacecraft.
Luthor seemed deranged, pointing at the terrifying entity awakening beneath Superman. "Ancient gas star deformed creature, mixed with my blood. Behold... your Doomsday!"
Suddenly, Luthor condemned Superman. "Now, even God must die!" A fierce roar echoed, and Superman saw a three-meter-tall humanoid monster with no hair, pale skin, and a grotesque face emerge from the biological pool.
In the DC26 Universe, on Apocalypse, Darkseid trembled, recalling the fear of being dominated by Doomsday—a monster that not even his omega rays could kill, but rather, it evolved.
In the DCEU Universe, human viewers, despite their terror, maintained strong confidence in Superman. To them, it was just a monster, nothing compared to Superman's steel body.
Yet, in the next moment, Doomsday embraced Superman, leapt out of the gas star spaceship, and sent him flying with a powerful punch. Dozens of military helicopters in the sky unleashed rockets at Doomsday, but he remained unharmed, absorbing the explosion's energy. This action seemed to infuriate the monster.
Doomsday roared in anger, releasing dense, intense, and terrifying ion arcs that ruthlessly spread, reducing all buildings within a radius of several thousand meters to ruins in the blink of an eye.
