Chapter 179: A Piece of Kryptonite for Everyone
"You... you!"
Upon hearing David's words, Wolf trembled as if struck by lightning. He stared at David with devilish eyes, pointing a finger at him, unable to speak for a long time.
"What?
Did you not hear me?"
David's expression turned cold.
Wolf had been quite arrogant earlier, impossible to kill, like an annoying toad, utterly disgusting.
But the situation had now reversed.
Wolf didn't fear death or feel pain, but he cared most about his reputation. If anyone in the universe saw him acting so effeminate, it would be worse than killing him.
"I... I heard you."
The usually fearless Wolf gritted his teeth, daring not to speak out of anger.
"Purple light bulb, you... what do you want me to do? I can turn around and leave immediately, abandoning the mission to capture you."
"Do you think you have the ability to capture me, Wolf?"
As David spoke, his gaze shifted elsewhere.
The Ryans sent by Brainiac to this location, after observing the situation, knew that waiting for both sides to weaken each other was impossible. They decided to vault over the moon and charge directly at David and his companions.
"I said it was unnecessary to go through so much trouble. That trash called Wolf is no match for the primary target." Dimaax, whose appearance resembled a leopard-headed monster and who was moving at lightning speed, sneered as the four of them rapidly crossed ten thousand miles.
"In the end, we still have to act."
"Be careful, the primary target is much more powerful than the data provided by the master."
Ryan, the leader, flew over the ground, reminding them indifferently.
"I wonder how many doses of my poison he can withstand." As they rushed forward, Parrellus, who had a dinosaur's head, licked the stinger at the end of its tentacles.
The last of the four, Flower of Paradise, with wings spewing flames and an androgynous appearance, had cold and ruthless eyes. It remained silent, like an emotionless killing machine.
"There are a few people over there. Go deal with them."
As a few figures appeared on the distant horizon, David put his arms behind his back, gesturing with his chin towards Wolf, his tone casual as if ordering a servant.
"Wolf the great has never taken orders from anyone!"
Although he had anticipated some threat, Wolf was still infuriated by David's attitude.
"Oh? Are you going or not?"
David raised an eyebrow, and green light energy coalesced into a button.
In reality, apart from Earth, he had no other channels to instantly broadcast Wolf's photo and cause his social death across the universe.
But Wolf didn't know that.
He would never have thought that someone as powerful as David had never left this remote small star system. That he not only knew Wolf the great but also possessed a Green Lantern Ring, and was a 'country bumpkin' who hadn't even left this star system?
Although David's methods were violent and brutal, Wolf strongly suspected that David had obtained the Lantern Ring from the cosmic black market, because those corrupt old dwarves didn't allow their legion members to use lethal force under normal circumstances.
"Damn it, just this once!"
Seeing David about to press the button, Wolf grudgingly grabbed his chains and charged towards the newcomers, afraid that David would send the photos if he was too slow.
David crossed his arms and chuckled softly.
"One time leads to a second."
Having finally caught him, he intended to hold this leverage over Wolf for the rest of his life.
Clark watched from the side, his expression slightly dazed.
He truly hadn't expected the monster that even being thrown into the sun couldn't kill to be subdued like this.
"Where did you monsters come from?"
On the lunar plains, Wolf swung his chains, the howling energy sweeping across, forcing the newcomers to stop. His eyes were fierce.
"You guys were just watching when Wolf the great was fighting that purple light tube, right?"
Being offered a bounty to capture a target on this planet, and then suddenly another group from the universe appearing as enemies of the first, seemed too coincidental. But Wolf didn't care about that.
He only cared that by the time that guy finished controlling him and exposing all his embarrassing moments for life, these guys should have seen it too!
"So what if we were?"
Dimaax crouched like a leopard, his bulging muscles ready to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.
The remaining individuals looked on with cold disdain.
"All of you die for Wolf the great!"
Wolf roared, furiously swinging his chains, determined to kill them to silence them.
"Leave this to me. You guys go capture the target. I'll join you after I deal with him."
With a push of his legs, Dimax cracked the ground, unleashing terrifying power. His body shot out like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Rob, slashing with his claws. He delivered several blows in rapid succession.
He was like a monster born for slaughter, each strike aimed at a vital point.
Screech!
But Wolf feared vital points the least. After dodging twice, he simply stopped dodging. A gruesome wound was torn open on his neck. Without even looking, he swung the chain with its hook, smashing it back fiercely at his opponent.
Swish!
Pushing off with his legs, Dimax, in addition to the leopard-like claws he possessed compared to a Kryptonian, also had a leopard's speed. He agilely dodged Wolf's attack and lunged forward again to strike.
Bang!
It felt like being crushed head-on by a mountain. Wolf sensed a power no weaker than his own. He was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.
Dimax opened his maw, lined with the fangs of a saber-toothed tiger, and lunged for Rob's neck.
Rob shoved his arm into the monster's mouth, unconcerned as the bones in his arm crunched and blood splattered.
"Damn it, your mouth stinks worse than mine after a night of heavy drinking!"
Then, with a sneer, he punched Dimax hard in the abdomen, sending him flying into the sky. Rob got up, shook his arm, which had deep, bone-revealing gashes from the claws, and grinned menacingly as he struck again.
"Little kitty, let Wolf pull out your teeth!"
"You even call yourself the number one bounty hunter in the universe.
You're useless, but you've got a big mouth."
Dimax's face darkened. He swiped with his claws, not showing any weakness as he taunted back.
Their bodies collided, and they fought like two ferocious beasts in a bloody battle.
Ryan and the other two swiftly bypassed Wolf, heading for their target: David and Clark.
Since they were sent by Brainiac, Clark felt he didn't need to hold back. He transformed into a streak of lightning and threw a punch.
"Kryptonian, surrender immediately!"
The monster, named Flower of Paradise, brought its hands together, which then bloomed like a flower bud. A torrent of energy beams struck the attacking Clark, pushing him flying backward.
His skin felt the burn of the impact. Turning to avoid the energy ray, Clark clenched his fist, ready to attack again.
"Wait a moment."
David, standing on the ground, suddenly spoke, stopping him.
Clark turned his head.
"What is it?"
"Look at their wrists."
After David's reminder, Clark, hovering in the air with his cape fluttering, looked over and saw that the three of them were wearing armbands on their wrists, each inlaid with a stone emitting a green fluorescent light.
"Is that Kryptonite?"
Clark was surprised. These three people each had a piece of Kryptonite.
"You're only noticing now."
David's tone held a hint of exasperation at his slow reaction.
"Don't forget where Kryptonite comes from."
Krypton was a product of its explosion. Some fragments landed on Earth with Clark. All the Kryptonite on Earth was gone now, only residual byproducts remained. But it was different in the universe.
"When Krypton exploded, Brainiac was right there. He saved Kandor City and collected it as a specimen.
The amount of Kryptonite he possesses could conservatively fill a lake."
If Brainiac himself had come, he would naturally disdain targeting a Kryptonian's weakness. But if he sent subordinates to capture them, it was a different story.
David glanced at the fierce battle in the distance, then looked at the few people before him with a hint of surprise.
"Any one of them has the strength to briefly hold off Wolf. Where did Brainiac get these subordinates?"
The power went out for a while this afternoon. Tomorrow morning's update will be moved to tomorrow during the day. Apologies.
