Chapter 151: Kaecilius Attacks
Several people sympathetically glanced at the departing Bruce Wayne.
"Let's go, Tony Stark is treating us to barbecue."
"Is there alcohol?"
"Of course there is!"
...
A few days later, Bruce Wayne and the others had already returned to their original universe, and Star-Lord and Yondu bid farewell to everyone along with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Kal-El asked.
Peter Quill smiled and looked at Yondu and Gamoranearby.
"The universe is my true home; for me, Earth is just a place of heartbreak."
"Right now, I just want to venture through the universe with my friends, and I will make the name of the Guardians of the Galaxy resound throughout the universe."
He suddenly turned his head to look at Gamora beside him.
"The name Guardians of the Galaxy sounds so badass, much higher class than whatever Avengers."
Captain America and Tony nearby wore unkind expressions.
"Haha, just kidding!"
Watched by everyone, Star-Lord, along with Yondu, Rocket Raccoon, and the others, re-boarded the spaceship.
As the music inside the spaceship played, it rapidly ascended and rushed out of Earth.
Kal-El did not leave, instead staying here temporarily with Diana.
For Diana, it didn't matter where she lived, as long as she stayed with Kal-El, she wouldn't feel bored.
...
Meanwhile, deep in the universe, Darkseid suddenly raised his head and looked toward Earth.
"It's Apokolips!"
Far away in the DC universe, Desaad, the high priest of Apokolips, also suddenly raised his head to look at Earth.
"That is the aura of the lord!"
All the New Gods members immediately raised their heads, their eyes filled with fanaticism and loyalty.
"Prepare to welcome back our leader; Apokolips will eventually rule the universe."
...
Kamar-Taj New York Sanctuary.
Strange was using the Time Stone to study time magic, when Mordo and Wong, fellow sorcerers, suddenly appeared and interrupted him.
"Do not cast time magic lightly; it might plunge us into a time loop, or even disrupt space-time and create countless time branches."
Scolded by the two of them, Strange also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Seriously, I'm really not ready to be any Sorcerer Supreme, not to mention that dimensional demon of the dark world, Dormammu, that you guys talked about."
"I haven't even seen him, and I can't be sure I can shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the world."
Wong looked at Strange earnestly.
"Master Ancient One gave the Time Stone to you so that you could succeed as the Supreme of Kamar-Taj. She believes you can do better."
"Besides, you don't need to worry about Dormammu. Don't forget we still have a powerful external aid."
"Who?"
Strange and Mordo both looked at Wong perplexedly.
"Superman from the Justice League!"
"He has learned magic in Kamar-Taj and has a good relationship with Master Ancient One. I think he won't sit by and watch Earth be invaded by Dormammu."
"As for us, we just need to prevent Kaecilius from destroying the three magical sanctuaries."
"As long as Earth has these three magical sanctuaries, Dormammu will never be able to invade Earth."
Strange nodded hesitantly.
"That means I don't need to manage this Sorcerer Supreme business too much. Leave the big guys I can't handle to Superman, and we just need to deal with some simple small fries."
Strange suddenly felt confident.
He couldn't beat Dormammu, but low-class small fries like Dormammu's subordinates should be very easy to deal with.
No danger!
Mordo on the side was hesitant to speak, and Wong hurriedly gave Mordo a wink.
Until the two walked out of the sanctuary, Mordo seriously asked Wong.
"Why didn't you tell him that those dark sorcerers like Kaecilius are also dangerous, and they are not as easy to deal with as Strange thinks."
Wong smiled dismissively.
"Sometimes you can't give him too much pressure all at once. He needs confidence; otherwise, nobody knows when someone will take over this mess."
At this moment, the sanctuary behind them suddenly made a loud noise, interrupting Wong and Mordo's conversation.
The two suddenly looked at each other.
"Something's wrong!"
The two immediately entered the sanctuary, only to find that Kaecilius had broken in with several dark sorcerers.
Strange condensed a magical energy whip between his hands and was fiercely battling Kaecilius.
Without hesitation, the two immediately used magical energy to condense weapons and rushed towards the dark sorcerers brought by Kaecilius.
Bang bang bang bang!
Several people fought with Kaecilius throughout the New York Sanctuary, magical energy surging continuously.
However, compared to powerful dark sorcerers like Kaecilius, Strange and the others were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At a critical moment, Strange suddenly opened a portal in the sanctuary and threw a dark sorcerer in front of him into it.
Bang!
He suddenly twisted the doorknob, and the other end of the portal suddenly changed from a desert to a beach.
"Actually, I was pretty good at wrestling when I was a kid."
Just as he was about to repeat the trick, Kaecilius reacted.
He quickly crossed his hands, and the space in front of him suddenly distorted.
Everything around began to fold and rotate.
The floor kept retreating backward, and Strange and the others ran frantically in place like they were stepping on a treadmill, yet they didn't distance themselves from Kaecilius by even a tiny bit.
"You can't run away!"
Kaecilius said indifferently, staring with his dark circles that had endured who knows how long.
"This is that small fry?"
Strange looked at Wong on the side.
Wong was also a bit embarrassed, not expecting that the few of them couldn't even beat Kaecilius.
"Compared to Dormammu, Kaecilius is considered easy to deal with!"
Several people suddenly jumped up, stepped on the wall in front of them, and leaped over the continuously retreating floor below.
Kaecilius gave them no breathing room, instantly condensing a transparent space blade and stabbing toward Strange.
Strange hurriedly used the energy whip in his hand to block the attack. The energy whip and the space blade collided fiercely, continuously bursting into sparks.
Suddenly, Kaecilius fiercely kicked Strange down from upstairs.
But he didn't hear the sound of Strange's body hitting the ground.
Before he could step forward to observe, Strange floated up draped in a red cloak.
He re-condensed the energy whip and attacked Kaecilius.
Yet there was a clear gap in strength between him and Kaecilius.
Despite the help of the magic cloak, he still fell into a disadvantage in front of Kaecilius.
At this moment, he saw an axe-shaped magical artifact placed on a weapon rack nearby.
He immediately reached out to grab it, but the cloak behind him pulled his body back.
After several efforts, he finally gave up.
Guided by the cloak, he grabbed a nearby net-like binding artifact and smashed it onto Kaecilius without hesitation.
Bang——!
The binding artifact took effect. Kaecilius, like doing a robotic dance, had all his body joints controlled by the binding artifact and couldn't move at all.
He immediately turned around, about to help Mordo and the other two fight the dark sorcerers, but a dark sorcerer suddenly came stabbing with a space blade.
Strange was in a sorry state, struggling to shake off the attack.
"Let's go, get outside for reinforcements!"
Wong and Mordo did not hesitate either, taking advantage of Kaecilius being bound and unable to cast magic to quickly shake off the dark sorcerers in front of them.
The three of them fled the New York Sanctuary together, and as soon as they escaped to the street, the space ahead suddenly folded.
The tall buildings on both sides pressed in toward them.
Chapter 152: Another Decapitation
Strange ran while casting portal magic, and a glowing circle with sparks gradually appeared ahead.
Just as the three of them were about to pass through the portal, the gravity suddenly changed.
Space flipped, and their bodies fell freely towards the opposite side of the road out of control.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the few of them heavily crashed into a bus on the road.
There was still an old man reading a book inside the bus.
Before they could steady themselves, space flipped again, and they fell to the ground once more.
"This is the Mirror Dimension of Kaecilius!"
Mordo panted heavily.
Kaecilius walked over quickly with the dark wizards behind him, staring at Strange and the other two.
"You can't escape; this place will eventually become a part of Dormammu."
"Is that so?"
A Strange voice suddenly sounded.
Kal-El's figure was floating quietly in mid-air.
Time turned back to a few minutes ago. Kal-El, who was leisurely shopping with Diana, suddenly looked up towards the direction of the New York Sanctuary.
"What's wrong?"
Diana looked at Kal-El in confusion.
"A few little mice!"
Although Diana didn't know who they were, she also knew those people were about to have bad luck.
"Since that's the case, why don't we play a game, cat and mouse."
Diana smiled and took out a glowing rope from her waist.
Kal-El and Diana walked onto the road.
As they walked, Kal-El's casual clothes gradually disappeared, and the black Superman suit slowly emerged on his body surface.
The power of magic surged again, and Diana also returned to the attire of Wonder Woman.
A suit of Amazon armor enveloped Diana's sexy figure.
Kal-El suddenly remembered the weapon he had forged for Diana, and immediately used spatial storage technique to take out the shield and holy sword forged from Uru metal.
"Try using this!"
Diana smiled and took the holy sword and shield from Kal-El's hand.
With a casual slash downward, the sharp long sword almost cut through space.
"Very good, stronger than the godkiller sword!"
After speaking, the two of them didn't delay any longer, stepped into the portal, and instantly disappeared from the street.
When Kal-El appeared again, he had already discovered the Mirror Dimension of Kaecilius.
Strange and the others were being severely beaten inside the Mirror Dimension.
Spatial magic energy gushed out, wrapping around Diana's body.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the two of them seemed to crash into a layer of water curtain, and when they appeared again, they had already entered the Mirror Dimension.
At this moment, they happened to hear Kaecilius's arrogant speech.
Kal-El floated in mid-air and spoke faintly.
"Is that so?"
As Kal-El's voice sounded, Kaecilius finally realized that two more people had unknowingly appeared in the Mirror Dimension.
"Who are you?"
Kal-El faintly glanced at Kaecilius below.
"Justice League, Kal-El!"
Diana also stood beside Kal-El, showing a charming smile.
"Justice League, Wonder Woman Diana!"
Strange and the others below looked in surprise at Dianabeside Kal-El.
"She is truly heroic!"
Kaecilius, however, just sneered coldly.
"So what if you're Superman? I'll let you know the power of magic, which is not something a brute like you who only knows how to use fists can resist."
He suddenly put his hands together and cast magic again.
Space flipped!
A few seconds later, the scene was quiet, and a hint of awkward atmosphere permeated the air.
"How is that possible?"
Kal-El smiled.
"Magic, I know it too!"
Kal-El suddenly cast a spell, and a small portal appeared in front of him, punching fiercely into the portal.
Seeing a small portal similarly appear behind Kaecilius in the distance, a fist reached out from inside and instantly blasted onto Kaecilius's back.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Kaecilius's body immediately lunged forward and fell heavily to the ground.
Just as he was about to get up again, a vortex suddenly appeared on the ground, and Kaecilius's body immediately fell into it.
Kal-El cast magic again, and another identical portal was set up by Kal-El.
Kaecilius had just fallen from the upper portal, and instantly crashed into the lower portal.
His body kept free-falling inside the two portals, completely unable to control his body.
Diana on the side had already rushed towards the dark wizards beside Kaecilius.
The few wizards had just condensed space blades and were about to stab Diana, only to suddenly find that Dianahad already rushed in front of them.
"Why do wizards engage in close combat?"
She asked in confusion, and without waiting for the dark wizard in front of her to answer, she delivered a front kick.
Bang!
The wizard crashed far away into the tall building behind him, instantly creating a layer of ripples on the wall of the building.
The several wizards also saw that Diana was a pure warrior.
They immediately cast portal magic, opening portals in front of them.
The next moment, they stepped into them, their figures suddenly disappeared, and they rushed out from the portal behind Diana.
The space blades in their hands fiercely stabbed at Diana.
Diana parried the long swords in her hands one by one, and casually slashed a dark wizard away with a sword.
Portal magic kept lighting up around Diana, and portals condensed one by one around her.
They could rush out from the portals at any time and launch attacks on Diana.
Under their mutual cooperation, their attacks were almost airtight.
A steady stream of attacks struck from all around Diana.
Diana kicked a wizard into the portal once again.
"The creativity is good, but the speed is too slow and the power is too small."
Finally, when the surrounding dark wizards attacked once again, Diana instantly turned into an afterimage.
As if the acceleration button had been pressed, her figure appeared in front of each dark wizard in the blink of an eye.
Bang bang bang bang!
With another series of muffled thuds, the bodies of several dark wizards were sent flying continuously,
covered in scars, vomiting blood wildly, and completely collapsed.
Strange looked at Kaecilius and the others who were being played in the palm of Kal-El and Diana's hands, and suddenly felt a bit ashamed.
"I didn't expect that beautiful woman to be so powerful too!"
Wong turned his head and looked at Strange.
"At least stronger than the three of us!"
Seeing that Diana had already resolved the battle, Kal-Elcasually dismissed the space portal magic.
Bang!
With another muffled thud, Kaecilius finally fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing that his subordinates around him had completely collapsed, Kaecilius still didn't admit defeat.
He raised his head and stared fixedly at Kal-El.
"You defeated me, but we have already summoned the Dark Dimension demon god Dormammu."
"He is an existence you cannot contend with."
"Justice League, Superman, Kamar-Taj, no matter how hard you try, the Earth will be turned into a part of him by Dormammu."
"You can only watch all this with your own eyes, unable to do anything."
"Hahaha!"
He laughed wildly, as if he had already seen victory.
Pfft!
With a crisp, low sound, a long sword had already swept across Kaecilius's neck.
Kaecilius's expression instantly froze, and a thin line of blood suddenly appeared on his neck.
In the blink of an eye, a large patch of blood spewed out, dyeing the surrounding ground red.
Kaecilius's head suddenly fell off, rolled a few times on the ground, and completely lost all movement.
Diana had already put away the long sword at this time.
Seeing that there was not the slightest stain of blood on the sword body, she couldn't help but reveal a charming smile.
"I really like this sword!"
Strange and the others frowned.
Did this woman have to resolve enemies in this way?
"Has she always been this fierce?"
Chapter 153: Dormammu Attacks
Carol's lips couldn't help but curve upward.
"This is just a normal combat habit."
Carol didn't even know when Diana had developed the habit of chopping off people's heads.
However, as the strongest female warrior of the Amazon, chopping off heads was definitely a normal phenomenon.
Diana certainly wouldn't hesitate to do it.
If it were Clark, he would never make things so bloody; he even rarely killed people.
Being as kind-hearted as Carol.
But Carol didn't feel disgusted by Diana's combat style; this had even more of the demeanor of an iron-blooded female war god.
Valiant and heroic!
Diana nodded in deep agreement.
"As a warrior, I prefer a more direct elimination of enemies, and I don't like those overly flashy moves of yours."
Strange and the others looked at each other in dismay.
Is she saying our combat power is very pathetic?
Carol smiled and explained for Diana.
"Diana is relatively direct and likes to tell the truth, so please don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, the three of Strange became even more red-faced, but they couldn't say anything.
After all, the fact was obvious; Diana was indeed stronger than them, easily resolving those dark sorcerers.
As they were speaking, the sky suddenly changed color, and a huge vortex gradually appeared from the sky.
The huge face on the opposite side of the vortex could be faintly seen.
His face seemed to cover the entire sky, as if it was going to devour the entire Earth.
An invisible coercion pressed down from the vortex, a violent wind blew through the streets of New York, and various debris were blown up.
"What is that?"
Diana's expression was solemn, feeling obvious pressure.
The thing in the vortex seemed to have transcended reality.
Compared to Diana, that thing looked more like a god who could master everything.
He looked more like a conceptual entity, indestructible and supreme.
Those eyes seemed to exist on a higher dimension, greedily sizing up the Earth.
"That is the dimensional demon god Dormammu!"
"So what on earth is that thing? He doesn't look friendly at all!"
Strange on the side also froze for a moment looking at the huge vortex in the sky.
"Don't tell me that's Dormammu, and this is the thing we have to fight against?"
Strange looked at the monster on the opposite side of the vortex in disbelief.
"I want to know how Master Ancient One guarded the Earth under such a monster?"
Mordo and Wong on the side shook their heads in unison.
"Master Ancient One has always been unfathomable, and we have no understanding of her methods at all."
But Carol smiled faintly.
"He is far from being that difficult to deal with!"
Carol's words suddenly brought confidence to the few people.
"How are you going to solve this?"
Carol reached out, extending her hand in front of Strange.
"Give me the Time Stone!"
"Okay!"
Strange decisively took out the Time Stone from the magical artifact on his chest.
Carol didn't hesitate, immediately placing the Time Stoneinto the slot of the gauntlet.
Bang!
A powerful wave of energy instantly rippled outward, and the six stones were gathered together once more.
Diana looked at Carol and earnestly exhorted,
"Be careful, I don't want to lose you again!"
Carol smiled and nodded.
"It's nothing!"
After speaking, Carol suddenly leaped up, charging straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, passed through the huge vortex in the air.
Boom!
Entering the vortex, before her eyes was a vast dark space.
There was no vitality here, and everything exuded a dangerous aura.
This was completely a dark world.
Carol landed on a cliff and looked up.
A huge face composed of invisible energy floated in mid-air.
Ripples of waves appeared on the face.
"The dimensional demon god, Dormammu!"
Carol slowly spoke, without a trace of tension in the face of a formidable enemy.
"Return to your world, Earth is not a place you should come to."
"Insignificant bug, do you think you can stop me with just you?"
The huge voice resounded through this dark space, deafening.
Carol frowned slightly.
"Keep it down, I can hear you!"
"Go to hell!"
Dormammu's voice rang out again.
The calm expression of this insignificant bug seemed to look down upon him as a dimensional demon god.
He should be a supreme existence, and all creatures should humbly prostrate themselves on the ground, begging him to grant eternal life.
Instead of delusions of communicating equally with him like this insignificant bug in front of him.
Carol's attitude clearly did not take him, this great dimensional demon god, seriously.
He roared, and powerful energy instantly erupted from his mouth.
An energy ray exuding a destructive aura instantly shot toward Carol.
Carol made no extra movements, gently clenching her fist and smashing it toward the incoming ray.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the energy ray was completely shattered.
"You're not qualified to kill me!"
"Ah—!"
Dormammu roared again, and numerous energy tentacles suddenly burst out from the ground beneath Carol's feet, scrambling to attack Carol.
Carol immediately hovered in mid-air, reached out and grabbed, and a black spear appeared in her hand.
Carol grasped the spear and kept waving it; countless energy tentacles shattered one after another under Carol's spear, turning into pure dark energy and dissipating.
"Waaah—!"
Dormammu was even more exasperated; he hadn't expected that just an ordinary bug could hold him off for so long.
He mobilized even more powerful forces, and the surroundings immediately began to shake violently; countless gravel pieces floated up from within the dark space, shooting toward Carol like individual cannonballs.
Carol showed no fear at all; her body suddenly sprinted at high speed, and the spear in her hand shattered all the incoming stones.
In the blink of an eye, her body had rushed in front of Dormammu's huge face.
Carol didn't hesitate at all, passing straight through it.
The face condensed by Dormammu's energy was instantly pierced through by Carol.
Boom!
With an explosion, Dormammu's face instantly shattered.
The surroundings finally quieted down.
Carol did not let down her guard, putting the spear behind her with one hand, and looking toward the surrounding deep dark space.
"Dormammu, you won't get past my blockade!"
"Damn bug, go to hell!"
Dormammu's voice came from all directions.
The next moment, abyss demons composed of energy bodies suddenly rushed out from the surrounding darkness.
They looked ferocious, with long fangs, scrambling to pounce on Carol.
They were like a mindless demon legion, filling the entire space.
Carol's eyes quickly turned red, Heat Vision instantly erupted, and a powerful energy ray shot out abruptly.
Bang bang bang—!
Clusters of fire appeared in the dark space, and countless rushing demons exploded into energy fragments in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Carol waved her spear again, forming an airtight zone of death around her.
All the demons rushing into Carol's vicinity were immediately shattered by the omnipresent spear shadows.
Seeing that she couldn't be dealt with, the dark space shook again.
A towering mountain in the distance suddenly rose from the ground.
Gravel kept rolling down, and in the blink of an eye, the mountain turned into a humanoid giant.
Facial features appeared on the giant's head, and its strong limbs began to stretch.
Carol shook her head.
"A clumsy performance, if you could turn into a giant of light, it might make my eyes light up."
Chapter 154: Dormammu is Stunned
Dormammu was truly annoyed by Kal-El's arrogant posture.
A fist immediately swung toward Kal-El.
"Die!"
Boom!
The fist shrouded toward Kal-El with powerful might.
Kal-El did not show any fear either, likewise extending his fist to meet it.
His speed reached the absolute extreme, instantly colliding with the hundred-meter-tall giant.
Bang!
With a huge explosive sound, the powerful energy aftershock instantly diffused from between their fists.
Kal-El never expected that the giant's strength would be so powerful.
The head-on collision with the giant made Kal-El feel as though he were fighting against a world.
It felt as though the entire heaven and earth were pressing down along with its fist.
Kal-El's body instantly shot backward, crashing through the cliff behind him like a cannonball.
A deep crater was blasted open by Kal-El in the middle of the entire cliff.
Lying in the center of the crater, Kal-El shook his somewhat dazed head.
Just as he was about to get up, demonic arms suddenly extended from the ground beneath him, firmly grabbing Kal-El's limbs.
Rumble!
Before Kal-El could break free, more thick and long arms burst out of the ground, tightly embracing Kal-El's body.
Even Kal-El's neck was firmly encircled by several arms.
The earth beneath him seemed to be the body of a demon, using countless hands to firmly lock Kal-El in front of it.
Not giving Kal-El a chance to react, a giant drill composed of pure dark energy suddenly appeared in the sky above, descending toward Kal-El's body.
After that brief exchange just now, Dormammu knew that Kal-El's physical toughness was not weak.
Therefore, he could only condense a powerful attack using the most primordial dark energy within his Dark Dimension, hoping to completely finish off Kal-El.
Seeing that the giant black drill above was about to fall, Kal-El immediately exerted force, wanting to break free from the demonic hands binding his body.
Along with Kal-El's violent struggle, the earth beneath him kept vibrating.
These demonic arms had already integrated into the earth beneath; wanting to break free required using a force capable of uprooting the entire piece of land.
Seeing the drill above spinning at high speed and its tip approaching closely, Kal-El's eyes suddenly lit up with golden light.
Two golden beams instantly shot out from his eyes, fiercely blasting toward the terrifying drill falling head-on.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, like a bubble bursting, under Kal-El's Omega Beams, the drill falling from the sky was instantly blasted to pieces.
Kal-El did not wait any longer; he forcefully raised his arms, and the earth beneath him began to shake violently.
Rumble!
"Ya——!"
As Kal-El exerted all his strength, the earth beneath him kept shattering, emitting wails like it had life.
All the demonic arms snapped inch by inch, and the earth shattered into pieces of black gravel.
Getting up, Kal-El casually dusted off the non-existent dust on his chest.
"You have quite a few tricks, but unfortunately they are useless!"
The rock giant was condensed and formed once again, its voice like rumbling thunder.
"I will tear you, this damn bug, into pieces bit by bit!"
Finishing his words, the rock giant raised its huge foot and stamped toward Kal-El.
Kal-El suddenly dodged aside, flying toward the giant's head.
His body rapidly ascended into the sky, coming close and heavily punching the rock giant's chin.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the rock giant's figure staggered and fell to the ground.
The surrounding ground shook incessantly.
Mountains collapsed, and rivers were cut off.
Kal-El did not stop, plummeting downward with terrifying might.
One of his legs tightened with force, kicking down toward the rock giant below with mighty power.
A ball of crimson fire appeared on his leg under intense friction with the air.
Bang!
With a loud noise, this kick heavily blasted the head of the rock giant below.
The powerful force instantly blasted the rock giant's skull to pieces, and cracks gradually spread across its entire body.
Finally, the massive rock giant could no longer hold on and suddenly exploded.
Countless rock fragments splashed out.
"It's useless! In this entire Dark Dimension, my power is endless, and I will not be defeated!"
Dormammu's voice rang out from the sky once again.
Kal-El looked up at the giant abstract face above.
"Ugly monster, to tell you the truth, I can fight for a hundred years!"
"..."
Too arrogant!
He was the great dimensional demon god Dormammu, after all.
"Ah, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Dormammu lost his composure once again.
He no longer held anything back; dark energy surged out like it was free, forming a torrent of energy.
"I will make you sink into my dark torrent, unable to escape for all eternity."
"I will make you sink into the endless dark river, completely reduced to my slave."
As his voice sounded, the dark energy of the entire Dark Dimension continuously surged out, surrounding Kal-El in the middle like a series of long dragons.
Overhead, beneath his feet, and in all directions, the dark energy swept in like a flood.
Kal-El could see excited demons in the dark river and soul bodies that Dormammu had somehow procured from somewhere.
They looked at Kal-El with grim smiles like vengeful spirits, occasionally sticking out their tongues to lick the saliva at the corners of their mouths.
As though Kal-El were a delicacy they had never encountered before.
"Although I cannot break down your physical body, these dimensional demons will endlessly bite and tear at your soul."
"They know no fear, until they completely turn you into a walking corpse, becoming an unconscious puppet!"
"Hahaha——!"
Dormammu laughed loudly, finally able to get rid of this annoying bug.
Why hadn't he thought of it before? Directly targeting his soul would make his physical body useless no matter how powerful it was.
Kal-El looked at Dormammu's gaze as if looking at an idiot.
"I only need a snap of my fingers to eliminate all these disgusting things of yours."
"Stop daydreaming, bug! I no longer have the patience to play with you!"
He abruptly guided the dark river toward Kal-El.
Amidst the surging waves, countless undead and dimensional demons lunged toward Kal-El with bared fangs and claws.
Kal-El slowly raised his right hand, and a black gauntlet materialized on his palm.
Six glowing gems emitted a brilliant radiance in the darkness.
"What is that?"
The two large eyes on Dormammu's giant face suddenly lit up a bit.
As Kal-El's thumb and middle finger pressed together, a crisp snap suddenly resounded in this space.
Snap!
The sound was not loud, but it suddenly froze time.
The black torrent that had already lunged in front of Kal-El instantly froze, stopping its forward momentum.
The fierce expressions of the undead and demons baring their fangs and claws in the river also instantly solidified.
Dormammu also stood there in a daze.
Gradually, the entire dark torrent rapidly receded, as if directly wiped away by an invisible force.
The demons and undead within it also dissipated instantly, quickly vanishing into the dark space like wisps of light smoke.
"How is this possible!"
Dormammu completely could not accept it.
He immediately condensed more dark energy.
Various magic attacks, dark monsters.
His offensives came wave after wave, launching attacks on Kal-El continuously.
Kal-El waved his right hand casually; with a light touch, all incoming attacks turned into fleeting clouds.
From beginning to end, Kal-El did not move a single step.
He hovered in mid-air, one hand behind his back, looking at Dormammu with utter calm and composure.
Not suffering the slightest bit of damage.
Chapter 155: Slightly Dusty Cape
Kal-El quietly looked at Dormammu's abstract, oversized face and found that Dormammu had stopped attacking.
"How is that?"
Dormammu looked at Kal-El with eyes full of anger.
"Damn bug, I'll let Earth go this time, but next time I will definitely tear you all apart!"
Kal-El shook his head with a mocking smile.
"Right now, you're just like an elementary school student telling someone 'don't leave after school,' yet you can't do a thing to them."
"Ah ah——!"
Dormammu roared again, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Kal-El turned serious and looked at Dormammu earnestly.
"Next time you come, remember to condense a real body; I can't fight you looking like this weird ghost-like thing."
"I really don't want to fight those stones again."
"As long as you have a physical form, I can beat you to death!"
Two balls of fire suddenly appeared in Dormammu's huge eye sockets.
Literally, eyes breathing fire!
"I'll be waiting!"
After speaking, Dormammu's abstract giant face began to dissipate.
Suddenly, his face appeared again.
"What did you do? Why can't I leave this place?"
He asked angrily.
"Just a little trick, I brought you into a time loop."
"You know, I originally planned to fight you here for a hundred years!"
A trace of human-like anger suddenly flashed across Dormammu's rippling, oversized face.
"Don't push your luck too far!"
"Let me out!"
His roar echoed throughout the entire Dark Dimension.
Kal-El smiled faintly.
"Remember, next time you come, it's either you die or I live!"
As Kal-El snapped his fingers again, ripples suddenly appeared in space.
Dormammu was instantly kicked out of the time loop by Kal-El.
Roar!
Dormammu, who had already left Earth by this time, roared angrily.
"Damn bug!"
"I will definitely come back!"
Over New York, the vortex gradually dissipated, and Kal-El's figure passed through it and landed on the ground.
Diana immediately stepped forward.
"How did it go?"
Kal-El flicked the cape behind him.
Snap!
He glanced at Diana and smiled faintly.
"The cape is slightly dusty!"
Strange and the others on the side also looked at Kal-El in shock.
"This is the true strong one, the Supreme Sorcerer who should shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the world!"
Although they did not enter the space within the vortex, even just a trace of pressure emanating from the vortex made their hearts skip a beat.
Little did they expect that after Superman solved the dimensional demon god Dormammu, his cape was only slightly dusty.
It seems that although the dimensional demon god is terrifying, there is still a huge gap between him and Superman.
They even imagined that in that invisible battlefield, Kal-El suppressed the incomparably powerful dimensional demon god Dormammu with a flip of his hand.
While Dormammu could only rage helplessly and roar in humiliation!
Hearing Strange's exclamation, Kal-El simply casually removed the Time Stone from the glove and returned it to Strange once again.
"Don't think too much, the Sorcerer Supreme is still most suitable for you!
I have other worlds to manage, so this place still needs to be left to you."
Strange took the Time Stone.
"Alright, I will take the place of the Ancient One to guard the Sanctum Sanctorum."
Kal-El nodded and turned to leave with Diana.
Until Kal-El and Diana's figures disappeared, the three of Strange returned to the Sanctum Sanctorum.
They needed to re-arrange the magical arrays of the three sanctums.
With a wave of their hands, Kal-El and Diana shed their battle suits and walked down the street in casual clothes.
Diana's lips curved up slightly as she looked at Kal-El.
"Didn't you say your cape is protected by your Bio-electric Field and would never get dirty?"
"The cape is even dirty, it seems your battle wasn't too easy either."
Kal-El paused in his steps.
"Whether my cape will get dirty or not, I think we need to go back to the room and try it out ourselves."
A blush suddenly flashed across Diana's face, not knowing what she thought of.
"I was just reasonably guessing your battle situation!"
Kal-El's smile remained unchanged.
"And I just want you to verify it yourself!"
Returning to the Justice League, Wanda and the others had been waiting here early on.
"What just happened? Why did such a vortex suddenly appear in the sky?"
Wanda asked with confusion.
"That is the dimensional demon god Dormammu, he wanted to devour Earth and drag Earth into his Dark Dimension!"
Faora frowned aside.
"Sounds like he's not easy to deal with!"
"Of course, he possesses an entire Dark Dimension, and the power of the entire world can be used by him. His energy is almost endless."
"But he was still defeated by you?"
Wanda sat on the sofa, casually grabbed an orange and began to peel it.
"I said long ago, if even he couldn't be dealt with, us going wouldn't seem to be of any use!"
Pietro suddenly flashed past from outside the door, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a peeled orange in his hand.
"Pietro!"
Wanda's eyes turned red as she turned to look at her brother.
Her hands were empty at this moment.
Seeing that Wanda was about to transform into the Scarlet Witch, Pietro immediately panicked.
He suddenly threw the peeled orange in his hand toward Kal-El.
"Boss just finished fighting a big monster, this orange is a reward for the boss!"
Kal-El caught it casually and smiled helplessly.
"Wanda, don't scare your brother!"
Wanda was expressionless.
"He is only older than me by twelve minutes!"
Kal-El divided the orange in his hand into two halves, handing one half in each hand.
"One half each!"
Wanda took the half orange from Kal-El's hand, turned around, and sat back down on the sofa.
"Don't treat us like children!"
Pietro on the side smiled and casually tossed the orange into his mouth.
"In the Justice League, your ages really aren't big. To us, you are children!"
Aiki, who was sitting aside playing a game with Arnold, looked up at Kal-El.
"You too!"
"Oh oh! But I'm an adult!"
Faora on the side also chuckled.
Aiki always said she was an adult, but everyone treated her like a child.
Arnold was struggling to resist Aiki's offense and looked like he was about to lose.
Taking advantage of Aiki looking up to reply, his game character stopped moving and immediately launched a series of combos to wipe out Aiki's game character.
A counter-kill with a sliver of health!
Aiki just turned her gaze back to the computer screen, only to find it turned completely gray.
A blood-red KO logo appeared on the computer page.
She turned her head to look at Arnold.
Arnold didn't show any embarrassment at all.
"You lost!"
"Then another round!"
"Not coming, your skills are no good!"
"But I just won two rounds!"
"Those two rounds I wasn't serious, just letting you win. The moment I got serious, you lost!"
He stood up directly from beside the computer and flashed a victorious smile at Aiki.
"Little Aiki, you still need to practice!"
Aiki lowered her head, her face turning dark!
Why could someone be shameless to this extent?
Meanwhile, within the Avengers, Captain America Steve Rogers and Tony Stark were looking at the vortex on the streets of New York on the video.
"What is this thing?"
"Don't know!"
Superman's figure passed through the vortex and flew out again shortly after.
The vortex disappeared, and an unknown crisis thus ended.
"With Superman around, it really saves us a lot of effort!"
"My armor is almost rusting!"
Tony turned and walked towards the door, Captain America behind him raising an eyebrow.
"Leaving just like that?"
Tony waved his hand without looking back.
"Pepper is still waiting for me to go home, we're planning to have a cute child."
Chapter 156: Not Taking Superman Seriously
Steve Rogers smiled and nodded.
"I wish you success in achieving your wishes."
It wasn't until Tony's figure disappeared that he slowly looked out the window.
At this moment, his figure appeared somewhat lonely!
One week later, Kal-El and Diana returned to the original universe.
Superman's figure appeared in the public eye once again.
The entire world instantly boiled over.
As the hero of the entire earth, Superman had almost become the benchmark of justice for the entire world.
With him around, the Justice League was complete.
At the same time, countless rampant criminals also began to restrain themselves.
They were guilty of heinous crimes.
Although Blue Superman and Batman had also existed in the world in the past.
But their methods were not too harsh.
At worst, they would just be locked up in prison.
As for being assigned to the Suicide Squad, they weren't qualified enough with their strength.
Therefore, the Justice League's deterrent force against them was not very strong.
But now that Black Superman had returned, they suddenly felt a tight squeeze in their hearts.
An unprecedented sense of suffocation enveloped them, and the heavy pressure made them take huge risks every time they engaged in criminal activities.
They knew that Black Superman was far less easy to talk to than Blue Superman.
This person had truly killed people before.
Moreover, as a superhero who once repelled Darkseid and saved the entire world, it seemed no one would say anything even if he acted a bit out of line.
They guessed right; at this moment, Kal-El was randomly selecting lucky criminals.
His X-ray vision was constantly scanning in the air, sweeping across one after another.
Soon, Kal-El's expression suddenly sank.
I have returned, and yet someone still dares to commit crimes in defiance of the law.
I see you guys simply do not take me seriously.
He immediately soared into the air, and his figure instantly vanished into the night sky.
At this moment, in a chaotic country on the other side of the ocean, a hidden industrial park was brightly lit.
On the outskirts, a group of armed men in various attires were patrolling around.
Their appearances were honest, making them look more like honest ordinary people.
But the wolf-like vicious gaze in their eyes exposed their true nature.
In an office on the top floor, a long-haired man was on the phone.
"President Bai, recently Superman has returned and frequently appeared in various places, should we restrain ourselves a bit?"
He spoke in a probing tone, instinctively feeling a bit uneasy.
A hoarse man's voice came from the other end.
"Rest assured, Bingkun! With so many crimes in the world every day, how could they possibly manage all of them?"
"Superman will die of exhaustion!"
"Don't they need to rest?"
"Don't worry, it's not that unlucky, out of so many people he won't just happen to pick you!"
"Go invite a golden Buddha later, worship it morning and night and it will be fine!"
"This batch of goods is urgently needed by someone, you must handle it as soon as possible and send those things over."
"A batch of goods is tens of millions, if we don't make it, do we leave it for others to make?"
Lu Bingkun suddenly became a bit anxious.
"But, President Bai, the situation is very tight right now, I'm afraid something will happen!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, if something happens I will send people to bail you out, rest assured!"
"That's it, believe you can do it!"
Beep beep——
The phone was hung up, and Lu Bingkun angrily slammed his phone onto the desktop.
His subordinate Ah Cai immediately stepped forward.
"Boss Bai speaks so easily, living a luxurious life in his villa surrounded by beauties, not considering us brothers fighting for our lives outside at all."
"We have always been working at the risk of being caught by those bullshit superheroes."
"Now the situation is tight, and those superheroes are catching people all over the world, it is really easy for him to talk without feeling the pain."
"Stop talking!"
Lu Bingkun lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
He blew out a smoke ring and flicked the cigarette at his fingertips.
"Who made him the boss? We subordinates just need to follow orders!"
"Remember, don't talk nonsense outside about these words!"
Ah Cai nodded repeatedly.
"Go do your work, keep your eyes sharp, transport that batch of goods over as soon as possible, and remember to clean up cleanly."
"Okay, boss!"
Ah Cai slowly retreated, closing the office door on his way out.
Lu Bingkun took out a photo from his chest pocket, on which a woman was holding a girl's hand, smiling brilliantly.
He reached out and touched his family in the photo.
"Xiaoli, after I finish this job, I will take you guys to America."
"Our family can be reunited!"
A secret basement in the park was stained with blood.
Inside were rooms isolated one by one.
The rooms were decorated like operating rooms, but that chilly atmosphere gave people a shivering feeling.
At this moment, a group of young people escorted by armed soldiers appeared from outside the door.
"Let me go!"
"Let us go!"
"No!"
As if sensing something, they struggled violently in the soldiers' hands.
"Asking you to scam money, you can't scam it!"
"Asking you to kill people, you don't dare either."
"Asking your family to pay money, your family actually dares to call the police!"
Ah Cai held a sharp dagger in his hand, pointing back and forth in front of the group of people.
"We can't get the money, it doesn't matter!"
"You yourselves are worthless."
"But as long as you are taken apart, that's millions!"
"Haha——!"
Hearing this, the group of bound young people became even more agitated.
"Let us go, you beasts devoid of all conscience, you will get your retribution sooner or later!"
Slap!
The glasses-wearing man fiercely slapped the handsome young man in front of him across the face.
A bright red palm print immediately appeared on the man's face.
"Devoid of conscience?"
"What is conscience?"
"I only know that being unconscionable can make me earn more."
"No, please let us go!"
"We can work!"
No matter how everyone cried and shouted, the man in glasses didn't show a trace of softness.
Boom!
Outside, a sudden explosion sounded, and the basement door instantly flew backward.
The armed thugs patrolling the park immediately raised their guns and surged toward the direction of the basement.
Ah Cai suddenly trembled, blankly looking at the figure wearing a black battle suit outside the door.
"Superman?"
Kal-El walked in step by step, and the group of armed thugs instantly pointed their gun muzzles at Kal-El.
Everything that happened in the basement had already been taken into Kal-El's eyes.
"You guys truly deserve to die!"
At this moment, Ah Cai simply gave up and threw caution to the wind.
"So what if it's Superman? I don't care if you're Supermanor Ultraman, anyone who dares to block my path to wealth must die!"
"Kill him!"
He spoke with a trembling voice, and although the group of armed thugs behind him were somewhat fearful, they were still unwilling to surrender without a fight.
Aiming their guns at Kal-El, they pulled the triggers without hesitation.
Da da da——!
Countless bullets fired from the gun muzzles, and the rain of bullets slammed toward Kal-El like a rapidly moving wall.
Clang clang clang——!
Bullets hit Kal-El's body, but only left tiny sparks on Kal-El's body.
Kal-El walked toward Ah Cai unhurriedly.
Ah Cai suddenly pulled out a pistol, grabbing a tied-up woman beside him.
"Don't come over, come any closer and I'll kill her!"
"Ahhh——"
The woman screamed in fright.
Kal-El didn't stop his steps, approaching step by step, every single step treading heavily on the tight nerves of the group of thugs.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Kal-El's eyes, and two beams suddenly shot out from his eye sockets.
Chapter 157: Turning Over a New Leaf?
Omega Beams!
Boom!
Two golden beams darted through the crowd at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, a group of armed thugs burst like bubbles, then dissipated into thin air.
Only wisps of red smoke remained in the air.
The scene fell silent. No one could believe that Supermanhad dealt with the armed men so easily.
"Superman!"
"Superman, thank you!"
A group of people wept with joy, never expecting they would survive.
Kal untied the rope of a handsome man in front of him and nodded to the group.
"Untie them. I'll go deal with the others."
The man nodded excitedly and quickly went to help untie the others.
Kal turned around and rushed out the door.
Just as he stepped outside the main gate, a group of armed thugs had already surrounded him.
Kal didn't give them another chance.
His figure suddenly lunged forward.
With a single punch, a large group of armed thugs were sent flying backward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of bodies slamming against the walls echoed continuously.
Countless thugs lost their lives the moment they hit the ground.
Seeing this massive disparity, the remaining compound guards immediately retreated.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Everyone scrambled to flee, wishing for the first time that they had been born with more legs.
Two high-temperature beams shot out of Kal's eyes once more.
The Heat Vision instantly blasted the armed men, turning all of them to ash.
Lu Bingkun, the head of the compound, had already realized something was wrong the moment the commotion started.
He immediately packed the money and documents from his safe into a case, hurried downstairs, and drove away.
The vehicle sped toward the compound gate with a roaring engine.
He no longer cared about anyone else in the compound.
He knew that once that powerful man arrived, this place was lost.
Nor did he think he could stand against Superman.
What use was a gun when fighting a powerful superhero?
Against someone like that, the rifle in his hand was no different from a wooden stick.
Although there were still some armed guards in the compound, he ignored them.
It was enough if they could buy him some time. Leaving alone made him a smaller target, giving him a chance to escape in the chaos.
Sure enough, he didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
His car burst out of the compound and sped down the highway.
"Boss Bai, you can't blame me for this. Good luck!"
Just as he glanced back at the blazing compound behind him, a figure wearing a black cape appeared ahead.
What was that?
Before he could even react, the car crashed heavily toward the figure.
Kal floated up almost instantly and kicked the side of the car hard.
Bang!
The speeding car was instantly sent flying by the kick, drawing an arc in mid-air as it spun and hurtled toward the ground in the distance.
With a loud crash, the car slammed into the ground, rolling over several times before coming to a complete stop.
By now, the car was completely unrecognizable. The front was crushed flat, and gasoline was leaking continuously from the bottom.
Kal suddenly landed beside the car and opened the door.
Lu Bingkun was clutching the safe to his chest, still tightly holding a photograph in his hand.
His face was a bloody mess, and blood kept oozing from the corners of his mouth.
"Heh... heh..."
He looked at Kal and opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out.
Kal reached in, took the safe Lu Bingkun was clutching, and turned to walk away.
"Be careful when you drive. Don't hit people in your next life!"
Hearing this, Lu Bingkun could no longer hold on. His head slumped to the side as he drew his final breath.
Kal walked away with the safe as the car behind him finally exploded.
Boom!
The massive blaze lit up the entire sky, casting Kal's silhouette in a towering light.
The commotion at the industrial park put all the surrounding criminals on high alert.
They halted all their operations and closely monitored the news.
When they learned that Superman had appeared, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Kal returned to the Justice League carrying the safe and opened it in front of Bruce and Diana.
Inside, it was filled with US dollars and several bank cards.
Kal ignored the money and picked up the documents underneath.
Recorded within were filthy, blood-stained criminal transactions.
Human trafficking, fraud, and even organ trading...
"These people shouldn't go to prison."
Diana's face was flushed with anger.
"Of course. They're going to hell!"
Kal nodded.
Bruce, standing aside, said nothing.
These kinds of criminals were beyond rehabilitation in prison; they had to be dealt with severely!
Besides, Kal and Diana had already made up their minds, and he had no desire to save the lives of these scumbags.
As long as he wasn't the one doing the killing!
"What do you want to do? Do we need to call Barry and Arthur?"
Bruce asked.
"If you need any help, just say the word."
Kal pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"I think we should send Sivana. He should be able to teach them a lesson they'll never forget."
Thinking of Dr. Sivana and the Seven Deadly Sins Demonsinside him, Bruce suddenly felt a shred of pity for those people.
Given the nature of those demons, those people would probably be eaten alive.
"That's a good idea!"
Diana had no objections either.
"Also, why not have Harley Quinn take the Suicide Squadthere as well? She would love this kind of excitement!"
Kal nodded.
"She can play to her heart's content there."
"Remember to tell her that her targets are only those criminals. Don't let her go looting banks again."
"I'll tell her!"
Kal looked up at Bruce Wayne again.
"There are still some people I rescued from the compound. You need to contact the authorities to extradite everyone back home."
Batman didn't refuse.
"A piece of cake!"
Half a day later, Harley Quinn, who was shopping in a supermarket on the streets of New York, suddenly received a call from Diana.
"What? I get to take the Suicide Squad to fight criminals? I'm going to be a superhero?"
She suddenly shrieked with excitement!
The surrounding customers were drawn by her sudden outburst.
Ignoring the strange looks from those around her, she spoke excitedly to Diana on the other end of the line.
"You've definitely found the right person! I turned over a new leaf a long time ago. Now, I only want to be a superhero."
"Alright, I'll go report in right away!"
She hung up the phone and excitedly pushed her shopping cart toward the barrier next to the supermarket checkout counter.
"I'm going to be a superhero!"
Crash!
With a sharp snap, the shopping cart smashed right through the barrier, and Harley Quinn vanished out the supermarket doors.
Several security guards immediately ran out to give chase.
But by then, Harley Quinn had already loaded the shopping cart into the trunk of her car.
Without a moment's hesitation, she started the car.
Vroom—
With a roar of the engine, the car sped away in a cloud of dust.
Only the dumbfounded security guards were left standing there.
"Is this chick crazy? She can afford a luxury car but still comes here to shoplift?"
The guards didn't bother chasing further and returned to the supermarket.
The cashier was tallying up the losses to file an insurance claim.
It wasn't until she parked her car in the garage and took the shopping cart out of the trunk that Harley Quinn suddenly froze.
"Wait... did I pay?"
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead.
"Habits are terrifying. I must remember to pay next time."
Chapter 158: Task Force Deployed
At Belle Reve Penitentiary, Amanda Waller stepped through the main doors once more, accompanied by Colonel Rick Flag.
"According to the Justice League's requirements, your mission this time isn't that difficult."
"Your enemies aren't an army, meta-humans, or monsters, but merely a group of vicious, heinous criminals."
Colonel Rick Flag let out a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, then I'm confident we can complete the mission!"
Rick Flag followed Amanda Waller into the large assembly hall, where several people were already waiting.
Rick Flag looked over them one by one and spotted many familiar faces.
King Shark Nanaue, Killer Croc, Weasel, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, and Deadshot.
In the very back stood Doctor Sivana, projecting a powerful aura.
Rick Flag looked at everyone in confusion.
"Why is it you guys again?"
Amanda Waller spoke impassively.
"King Shark likes to eat people. After his release, while swimming in the ocean, he ran into an illegal organization that poached sharks for exorbitant profits—so he ate them!"
"Uh..."
Rick Flag didn't know what to say.
It seemed Nanaue was still best suited for the Suicide Squad.
Amanda Waller turned her gaze toward Killer Croc.
"Killer Croc can't adapt to life in the outside world, so he requested to stay as a permanent member of Task Force X."
To the side, Harley Quinn suddenly took the lollipop out of her mouth.
She raised her hand with a grin.
"I'm in through connections! Wonder Woman crammed me in!"
"I'm not a criminal, I should count as a superhero!"
Rick Flag chuckled helplessly.
"A nepotism hire coming along for a dangerous mission—isn't that a thankless task?"
Amanda Waller glanced sideways at Harley Quinn.
"Just moments ago, she went on a 'five-finger discount' spree at a supermarket."
"Heh, calling the cops over such a tiny amount of money? That supermarket is so stingy."
Deadshot looked up and greeted Rick Flag.
"Working together again. I'm not an assassin anymore—I'm a hired operative for Task Force X."
Rick Flag nodded.
"What about Weasel?"
Beside them, Weasel opened its mouth and let out a snarl.
"After that mission concluded, we unexpectedly discovered Weasel hadn't died, but he hadn't returned to prison either."
"We expended a lot of effort to find him and taught him a little lesson."
Amanda smiled slightly.
"Now, you don't need to worry about him being disobedient, nor will he dare to escape on his own again."
Harley Quinn suddenly raised her hand, bursting with curiosity.
"I'd like to ask, what does 'a little lesson' mean?"
Weasel instantly snarled at Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn flashed it a big grin, mentally marking Weasel down on her hit list.
Amanda Waller had no qualms whatsoever.
"We locked him in Nanaue's cell, intending to give Nanauean extra meal, but Nanaue had no appetite for him!"
At that moment, Nanaue suddenly rubbed his round belly.
"Weasel... not tasty!"
"You ate him?"
Harley Quinn asked in surprise.
Only then did she notice a faint missing chunk on Weasel's rump.
"Nanaue only took one bite before throwing him out of the cell."
Harley Quinn turned to look at Weasel.
"You should consider yourself lucky your meat tastes bad!"
Weasel bared its teeth at Harley Quinn again.
Harley Quinn's face instantly darkened.
Bare your teeth at me? Just wait until this mission is over, I'll pull out every single tooth in your mouth.
"As for El Diablo, he was also hired by Task Force X."
Amanda Waller then looked over at Doctor Sivana.
"And Doctor Sivana—Superman requested his inclusion in this operation. The Seven Deadly Sins Demons will take good care of those criminals!"
She walked up to the stage and turned on the projector.
"These are your targets for this mission. Commit their information to memory."
"They are an international criminal syndicate—a massive organization involved in telecom fraud, gambling, drug trafficking, and organ harvesting."
"The mastermind is the Bai Family. The head of the family is Bai Suocheng, and the core members are Bai Yingrong, Bai Yinglan, and Bai Yinghai. They are all family, operating a family crime syndicate."
"They possess a considerable armed force, primarily deployed as guards throughout their industrial parks.
Your mission is to dismantle all of their industrial parks and round up the ringleaders and core members of this large criminal syndicate in one fell swoop."
Rick Flag and the others nodded.
Amanda Waller cautioned them again, looking intently at Rick Flag.
"Remember, your targets are strictly the members of the criminal organization. As for them, you may deal with them however you see fit.
However, as for the civilians from various countries trapped in those industrial parks, you must not harm them. Others will extradite them back to their home countries later."
"Remember, keep the team in check!"
Rick Flag nodded firmly.
"Understood!"
He picked up on Amanda Waller's underlying message.
Dealing with all criminals of the syndicate however they saw fit implied leaving no survivors.
Allowing non-human creatures like Nanaue to completely unleash their true nature.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought along Doctor Sivana, the host of the Seven Deadly Sins Demons.
Speed was of the essence. After briefing them on everything, the group boarded a transport plane once more, heading straight toward their destination.
Meanwhile, in Northern Myanmar, inside a luxurious manor, the leaders of the Bai Family Crime Syndicate gathered together.
Bai Suocheng, head of the Bai Family, sat at the head of the table sipping soup, while his son and daughters sat on either side.
"Keep a low profile lately. That Superman guy just destroyed one of our parks. Don't let him discover any of the others."
Off to the side, Bai Yingrong, who was drinking wine and wearing a luxury watch, suddenly set his chopsticks down.
"Come on, Dad!"
"Why fear that bullshit Superman? Here, we've got men and guns. If that's not enough, I'll set up a few cannons outside! If he dares to come, I'll blow him away!"
"Northern Myanmar won't tolerate anyone acting so badass!"
Bang!
Bai Suocheng suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"Go ahead and try! If you can take him down, I'll give you the patriarch's seat!"
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Bai Yingrongcould only laugh it off with a smile.
"I was just joking."
He casually grabbed a bite of food and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'm serious, though. That bullshit superhero has already been here once; he won't come back again."
"There's so much crime all over the world, why would he waste his time tangling with us?"
"They're busy too. There's no way he'll come over in person to play hide-and-seek with us."
"That's right, Dad."
Beside them, the eldest daughter, Bai Yinglan, joined in.
"Even if he comes in person, so what? Destroy another one of our parks?"
"We might lack many things here, but we don't lack men or guns."
"How could he possibly find us all the way here?"
"Exactly, Dad!"
The youngest daughter, Bai Yinghai, chimed in right after.
"We can wait, but our clients can't. They're waiting for a fresh batch of'supplies' to replace parts for their VIP guests."
"Even if that batch of 'pigs' was saved by Superman, we can still pick people from other parks."
"This deal is worth tens of millions. The money aside, making a connection with that mayor over there will benefit our future business immensely!"
The siblings chimed in one after another, trying to persuade the old man not to be frightened by Superman's minor actions.
"Dad, we can't give up on the whole thing just because of a small risk. As long as that mayor gets what we offer, why worry about our business not expanding into his turf?"
Chapter 159: Storming the Door
Hearing both his son and daughter say this, Bai Suochengmerely cold-snorted.
"The reason I was able to build our business to this size is because of caution."
"Regardless, we can't make any moves right now. We'll wait until the heat dies down and that guy who wears a cape all day like a lunatic minding other people's business shifts his gaze elsewhere!"
Bai Yingrong and his sisters exchanged glances, disappointed, and went back to shoveling food into their mouths!
Soon, the meal finished. Bai Suocheng set down his bowl and chopsticks, left the dining table, and entered his study.
At the dining table, Bai Yingrong looked at his two elder sisters.
"The old man is getting old, and his courage has shrunk too. Being scared like this by a mere little metahuman."
"Although there aren't many metahumans in the world, there aren't few either. If every day were like this, how are we supposed to make money?"
Bai Yinglan also nodded.
"Exactly. I think the old man has lost his edge; this family still needs to rely on us."
...
Late at night, the Bai family manor remained brightly lit. Over a hundred armed guards held guns on watch inside the manor, while several squads of soldiers patrolled outside 24/7.
Carrying rifles and wearing uniform combat gear, they looked even better equipped than the park guards.
Outside the main gate of the manor at this moment, a soldier guarding the gate was lighting a cigarette for his captain, a flattering smile on his face.
"Captain, about my promotion to deputy squad leader..."
The captain took a deep drag into his lungs, a top-tier inhale that made him feel on top of the world.
He frowned slightly.
"This matter isn't easy to handle; it requires greasing palms up and down."
The soldier smiled and nodded.
"I understand. Don't worry, Captain, I'm planning to bring you some local specialties from my hometown for you to sample."
"Guaranteed to satisfy you!"
The captain smiled with satisfaction.
"Kid, you're sensible. I see great potential in you; you're someone destined for big things."
"Hehe—!"
As the two were chatting, a woman dressed sexily walked over slowly.
Clack, clack, clack!
The sound of her high heels striking the ground felt as if it were stepping directly on the hearts of these soldiers.
"Halt! What are you doing here?"
The captain's eyes lit up, his lower half instantly taking control of his brain.
Harley Quinn blew a winking kiss at the men.
"I came here for travel and accidentally got lost. Can you boys take me home?"
Harley Quinn tried her best to put on a pitiful and frail act to gain sympathy.
"Oh?"
The captain and several soldiers under him exchanged looks.
A foot soldier immediately leaned in, whispering into the captain's ear.
"Captain, since this woman needs help, why don't we help her out?"
The captain pretended to hesitate.
"But the boss told us to stay sharp. We can't mess around at a time like this."
"Aiya, Captain, we're just helping a lost woman, what could go wrong?"
"Take her away for a little fun, no one will know. I'll guard the post for you."
The captain was finally somewhat tempted.
He slapped the soldier in front of him heavily on the shoulder.
"Very good. You know how to handle things."
"Don't worry, as your captain, I never like wasting food. In fact, I eat every single grain of rice in the bowl."
"I'll take the woman away to comfort her first. Then you guys go one by one. Too many people can't leave here at once."
The soldiers nearby instantly grew excited.
"We'd go through fire and water for you, Captain!"
The captain slowly stepped forward, an ill-intentioned smile on his face.
"Beauty, come with me, I'll take you home."
He reached out his hand, just about to pinch Harley Quinn's face, when Harley Quinn suddenly pulled a dagger from her thigh strap.
Splat!
A streak of cold light flashed, and a thin line of blood instantly appeared on the captain's neck.
"Gurgle..."
The captain immediately clutched his neck with both hands, but could not stop the spurting blood.
Just as the soldiers behind realized something was wrong, two of them found their feet lifting off the ground, lifted up from behind.
"Ahhh!"
Only then did they realize that standing behind them was a standing shark monster.
In their frantic struggle, the rifles in their hands dropped to the ground.
Nanaue showed no mercy whatsoever; he had been starving all along the way.
Nom!
Nom!
Opening his cavernous mouth, he stuffed the two soldiers one by one into his giant maw filled with sharp teeth.
Crunchy, tastes like chicken, with six times the protein of beef!
Almost at the same time, an agile Weasel pounced over as well.
Leaping up in an instant, he tackled a soldier to the ground, his teeth fiercely and intensely kissing the neck of the soldier beneath him.
The soldier beneath kicked his legs wildly as blood sprayed onto Weasel's face, adding a terrifying bloodlust to Weasel.
The remaining two soldiers didn't escape either. Deadshotwielded a dagger, repeatedly stabbing them before they could fire.
Squelch, squelch—!
Their bodies twitched uncontrollably as blood continuously dripped onto the ground.
In the blink of an eye, this guard squad was successfully taken care of by the group.
Harley Quinn smiled and kicked off her high heels.
She retrieved a baseball bat from behind her and casually slung it over her shoulder.
"Superhero team, Task Force X, move out!"
She led the charge into the manor.
Behind her, Rick Flag shook his head.
This crazy woman acted as if she were the leader.
The group flooded into the Bai family manor without making any effort to conceal themselves.
Before they had gone far, gunfire suddenly erupted ahead, and bullets swept toward the group wildly.
Dada-da, dada-da—!
Muzzle flashes erupted continuously from cover across from them, where a group of fully armed guards was blocking the way.
Harley Quinn instantly darted back.
She put away the baseball bat and suddenly pulled two handguns from inside her coat.
Fearlessly, she fired forward.
Bang, bang, bang—!
Bullets instantly exploded clouds of blood mist across the soldiers ahead.
She pressed forward while firing continuously, her dense firepower actually suppressing the enemy.
Only then did she notice with pleasant surprise that the opposing soldiers were falling continuously.
When had her marksmanship become so amazing?
Just then, Deadshot's voice came from beside her ear.
"Nice momentum, but you still need to practice your marksmanship!"
Hearing this, Harley Quinn noticed that Deadshot was also holding dual guns, and most of the soldiers falling to the ground had been shot by him.
She suddenly let out a cold snort. So what if your marksmanship is good?
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, there are intruders!"
The guards defending the manor swarmed toward the firefight, some even carrying RPGs on their shoulders.
"Come out, don't let anyone named Bai escape!"
Doctor Sivana suddenly spoke up from the rear.
As earthy yellow energy surged from his body, the Seven Deadly Sins Demons continuously materialized in front of him, with only Sloth remaining inside Doctor Sivana's body.
Roar!
"I'm going to enjoy them thoroughly!"
Gluttony stuck out his giant tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, drool and slime already secreting.
Pride also regained his confidence once again.
"I will let them witness the true power of demons!"
Roar, roar, roar—!
The six demons couldn't wait and charged into the distance, leaping over the fire containment line in front and rushing toward the core area of the manor.
Their faces were hideous, murderous gleams flashing in their eyes.
Suddenly, a rocket trailing flame zoomed toward the group.
Doctor Sivana reached out his hand, and a bolt of lightning instantly struck the rocket.
Boom!
The rocket exploded mid-air, but Doctor Sivana didn't stop.
Lightning continuously shot from his hands toward the enemies across from him.
"Ahhhh!"
Chapter 160: A Psychiatrist Is Also a Doctor
As Dr. Sivana made his move, the stubbornly resisting soldiers ahead gradually found themselves unable to hold on.
Soldiers convulsed and collapsed one after another, their entire bodies charred black.
Rick Flag was holding a rifle, hiding behind cover and exchanging gunfire with the soldiers opposite, when he suddenly turned to look at Nanaue and Weasel beside him.
"You guys flank around from the right and wipe them all out!"
Nanaue instantly stood up from behind the cover, let out a roar, and charged forward.
"Nanaue, go to the right, not—"
Before he could finish his words, a huge explosion suddenly rang out.
Boom!
Following closely was Nanaue's body flying backward.
A soldier in the distance had just put down his grenade launcher barrel.
At this moment, Harley Quinn, who had just thrown two grenades at the opposite side, suddenly noticed Weaselhiding in the back, and she bit her lip slightly.
"Weasel, charge up there and take those people out. We will remember your contribution."
"Rest assured, once we get back, I'll apply for a medal of honor for you from Amanda Waller."
Weasel suddenly raised his head, looking at Harley Quinnin astonishment.
Did this woman know what she was talking about?
The enemy's firepower over there was so fierce, and although he was a bit fast, he was still made of flesh and blood.
He was definitely not a robot who wasn't afraid of these firearms and ammunition.
He let out another roar toward Harley Quinn.
"Nanaue, bite it for me. Task Force X does not keep useless trash."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanaue indeed opened his huge mouth toward Weasel beside him.
Weasel was scared out of his wits and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
He poked his head out of the cover to take a look, then instantly pulled it back.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several bullets accurately hit the cover in front of him.
He was terrified, but after looking at King Shark baring his teeth and threatening him nearby, he had no choice but to take the risk and rush out.
He suddenly dropped on all fours and rushed out like a streak of yellow lightning.
But he didn't dare charge straight ahead; instead, he kept dodging left and right.
Serpentine dodging, the eternal god.
Sure enough, the moment he popped his head out, he attracted most of the firepower. Bullets kept flying past him, leaving little craters on the ground around him.
He almost forgot everything, knowing only that he had to keep running without slowing down.
Meanwhile, Rick Flag, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the group seized the opportunity to charge over.
The three of Rick Flag kept shooting at the opposite side as corpse after corpse fell.
El Diablo and Dr. Sivana did not make frequent moves.
These small fry weren't worth them going to great lengths.
Inside the manor, many soldiers who were reinforcing suddenly ran into the Seven Deadly Sins Demons.
They were agile and pounced right in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Opening their huge mouths, they devoured the soldiers amidst their screams.
Gluttony, in particular, directly feasted heartily.
"I was really suffocating to death; I finally get a chance to eat my fill!"
Several demons began running amok inside the manor, and all armed personnel they encountered could not escape their hunting and killing.
At this moment, on a platform of the villa, Bai Suochengwas preparing to board a helicopter under the escort of a squad of fully armed soldiers.
Following closely behind him were his son Bai Yingrong, and his two daughters Bai Yinglan and Bai Yinghai.
"I said it long ago, keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
"You guys just don't take my words to heart!"
The three people behind him no longer had their previous arrogant looks and did not dare to talk back at all.
"Have you found out the identities of those people?"
A man in a suit nearby immediately handed over a tablet computer.
"They are all from America, have been in prison before, and are prison criminals."
"These people must have an inseparable connection with Superman."
"If we don't avenge this, how can our Bai family continue to stand here?"
Bai Yingrong said with bitter hatred.
"What else do you want to do?"
Bai Suocheng frowned.
"Since we can't do anything to him, we'll go after his family and friends. I don't believe they all have superpowers."
As soon as several of them boarded the helicopter, the soldiers on guard outside began to scream miserably.
"Ah, ah!"
"Monsters!"
"Demons!"
Chaotic noises came from all around. Bai Yingrong looked out the window and suddenly discovered that several ferocious monsters had pounced into the midst of the soldiers.
Soldier corpses were constantly thrown far away, and soldiers were also swallowed directly into the bellies of those monsters.
The soldiers kept firing, but those bullets hitting the monsters didn't cause them a shred of damage at all.
They were completely like tigers entering a flock of sheep, easily killing the soldiers below one by one.
Bai Yingrong and the others widened their eyes and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Hurry up and leave, get out of here!"
The helicopter finally slowly rose into the air.
The people inside the helicopter had just breathed a sigh of relief when a demon below suddenly accelerated, reached underneath the helicopter, and instantly leaped up from the ground.
Boom!
The helicopter suddenly shook, and Pride's ugly face was now pressed against the side window of the helicopter.
"Ah, ah, ah——!"
Bai Yinglan and Bai Yinghai immediately screamed, and Bai Yingrong uncontrollably peed his pants.
A pungent, urine-like stench permeated inside the helicopter.
"Quickly get that thing down."
Bai Suocheng remained calm in the face of danger, and the pilot immediately began to spin the body of the helicopter, trying to shake off the demon clinging outside the window.
But such a small trick was not taken seriously by Pride at all.
With another sudden jump, it successfully leaped onto the front of the helicopter, staring tightly at the cockpit.
Boom!
With a loud crash, Pride's head shattered the window and instantly bit off the pilot's head.
Blood spurted out inside the helicopter, and the smell of blood instantly spread.
"Ah, ah!"
Amidst the screams and chaos of the few people, the helicopter finally lost control and spiraled down toward the ground.
Boom!
Since the helicopter had just taken off and the altitude was not high, it crashed into the ground with parts flying everywhere, but the members of the Bai family inside were all still alive.
But at this moment, they even wished they were already dead, because six ferocious-looking demons had surrounded them tightly in the middle.
On the other side, the guards inside the manor had long been routed by Task Force X.
All surviving militants began to flee.
El Diablo also occasionally made a move to clear out some stubbornly resisting remnants, mercilessly spitting flames into the crowd.
Boom!
The all-encompassing fire swallowed them up.
When El Diablo stopped releasing flames, a group of soldiers had long dropped their weapons and turned into ashes on the ground.
Harley Quinn also put away the short gun in her hand and swung her bat, smashing it against the enemies' heads continuously as if playing baseball.
Every impact cracked open the enemies' heads, and blood spurted out along the wounds.
"Huh? Weasel, what's wrong with you?"
She suddenly saw Weasel lying on the ground, panting heavily.
"Turns out he was shot in the leg!"
Only then did she notice a bloody hole appearing on Weasel's thigh, with blood continuously overflowing outward.
"I'll help you!"
She suddenly squatted down eagerly in front of Weasel.
"I used to be a doctor, although just a psychiatrist, but I've seen how to deal with gunshot wounds in movies."
She began performing surgery on Weasel on the spot.
With a slight pinch of her fingers, she instantly shoved them into Weasel's wound, probing around inside to look for the bullet head.
Weasel was made in excruciating pain by Harley Quinn's crude methods and immediately let out a roar toward Harley Quinn.
Boom!
Harley Quinn put down the bat in her hand, and Weasel's head finally tilted completely to the side.
"You're so noisy. I'm treating your injury, do you understand?"
