While Owlman was pondering how to intervene in this superhuman battle, this World's Batman had appeared not far behind him at some unknown point.
"Whoosh!"
A Bat-Batarang flew past his ear, carrying a whisper of wind.
"You'd best not make any rash moves."
A man in a black Bat-suit emerged from the shadows, his deep voice carrying over.
Hearing that voice, Thomas's face beneath his mask showed a hint of excitement; even though he knew the person wasn't his familiar younger brother, the feeling was involuntary.
Among the villains of the Crime Syndicate, Owlman couldn't be considered purely evil.
On the contrary, he was more like an anti-heroic figure.
It was just that his attitude towards criminals was more resolute; he was not bound by law, because compared to the law, he trusted his own judgment more.
On Earth-3, he used such authoritarian methods to control Gotham, becoming the undisputed King of Gotham.
Even so, Bruce was the eternal pain in his heart.
He had accidentally killed his most beloved younger brother with his own hands.
"Bruce!"
Thomas called out the name in as calm a tone as possible.
However, Batman's eyes narrowed sharply when he heard that call.
Due to a series of changes brought about by Shen Mu's arrival, the number of people in this World who knew his identity could still be counted on one hand.
But this guy from another Universe actually blurted out his identity.
In an instant, Batman had a hint of suspicion about the identity of the person in front of him, because looking at him was like looking in a mirror.
"Who are you?"
Batman stared intently at Thomas, asking the question in a tone that betrayed no doubt.
"It's good to see you again, Bruce, my dear younger brother!"
At this moment, Thomas shed his usual coldness, his gaze gentle as he spoke.
"Hm!"
Bruce suddenly felt a little confused.
Because in his imagination, this guy from another Universe might be his doppelgänger, another Bruce Wayne.
But now, his one sentence caught Batman off guard.
However, before he could say anything, a green figure was suddenly slammed down from the sky.
A Kryptonian warrior's eyes emitted crimson heat vision, fiercely blasting against the Power Ring, which had deployed a protective shield.
"He's too strong, I feel like he could even rival Ultraman, we can't beat him!"
Cowardly Hal said with terror in his voice.
"Shut up, keep charging for me!"
The Power Ring was outputting energy at full capacity, preventing the deployed shield from shattering.
"It's Owlman, come and support me!"
At this moment, Cowardly Hal caught a glimpse of Owlman out of the corner of his eye, and as if seeing a savior, immediately shouted at him.
In the Crime Syndicate, most of the members, led by Ultraman, were hotheads; the only true strategist was Owlman.
This was also why Superwoman maintained a relationship with Owlman while also depending on Ultraman.
After all, Superwoman wanted to give birth to the strongest offspring, and this 'strongest' could be in terms of power, and naturally also in terms of intelligence.
However, Owlman and Ultraman both lost to another, more pure hothead, the hairless Lex Luthor.
Although Owlman looked down on the cowardly and incompetent Power Ring, they were now both invaders and had to stand on the same front.
Seeing this, even though Owlman wanted to continue reminiscing with his brother from another World, it was clearly not a good time.
The next moment, just as he pulled out a green capsule from behind him, preparing to support the Power Ring, Batman flew two Batarangs at him, directly interrupting his movement.
"I'm sorry, I must fight for our World."
Batman was not swayed by emotion.
Even if he knew the other party might be his prematurely deceased older brother, Thomas Wayne, their current opposing stances made it impossible.
"Then let me see how much you've grown!"
Seeing his younger brother stop him, Owlman now had a legitimate reason not to support the Power Ring.
Immediately, the Batmen from two Worlds clashed, fighting as one; they were both martial arts masters, both having undergone long-term training, reaching the limits of ordinary humans.
As doppelgängers, their fighting styles were extremely similar, as if both could predict the other's next move, and for a time, they fought back and forth.
However, compared to their almost silent battle, the commotion from Ultraman and Zod on the other side was far greater.
Their figures continuously collided in the air, with an incessant whooshing sound spreading out.
Ultraman was at full power; he couldn't remember the last time he had fought like this!
What made him even more enraged was that he was now completely on the defensive, being utterly suppressed.
"Kryptonite, I need Kryptonite."
Ultraman, who was once again sent flying by Zod's punch, already felt his strength beginning to wane; he needed Kryptonite to replenish it.
"Ultraman, the nearest Kryptonite storage is in LexCorp Tower."
Grid provided information to Ultraman at the opportune moment.
But the next second, he felt his programs become chaotic.
"Under invasion, initiating interception program, interception failed."
It was Cyborg, using the power of the Mother Box, who directly suppressed Grid.
Ultraman had no time to worry about Grid; he only wanted Kryptonite now, like an addict.
He flew directly towards LexCorp Tower, and Zod, seeing this, pursued him at an even faster speed.
"Kal-El, are you trying to escape? Are you preparing to abandon the honor of a Kryptonian warrior?"
Zod watched Ultraman flee without hesitation, and a hint of anger involuntarily arose in his heart.
Unfortunately, the current Ultraman had no desire to get entangled with him, only wanting to get Kryptonite to replenish his Consumption.
And in an unnoticed corner, Atomica shrunk her body to an extremely minute degree, then flew towards Superman.
She intended to enter Superman's body and destroy his brain.
However, possessing a double-layered bio-field allowed Superman to acutely sense something attempting to breach his field.
Immediately, Superman controlled his own field to vibrate at an incredibly terrifying speed.
"Ah!"
Atomica had no time to escape and was directly crushed by this high-frequency vibrating bio-field, becoming the first member of the Crime Syndicate to die in battle.
Meanwhile, Superwoman used the Lasso of Submission to bind a Kryptonian warrior, instantly controlling him, then ordering him to fight other Kryptonian warriors.
Johnny Quick was originally traversing the battlefield, using his super speed to tie down two Kryptonian warriors who were not as fast as him.
However, just then, another red figure suddenly burst into the battlefield; he, too, was enveloped in the Speed Force.
"Cackle, is that me from this World? Then let's see who is the fastest Speeder!"
Johnny Quick recognized that the person enveloped in the Speed Force was his counterpart from this World, and immediately increased his speed, forcibly breaking free from the two entangled Kryptonian warriors and heading towards Flash.
