After the X Metal grenade shifted Barbatos' attention, he was finally pulled down from the tower by the Silver-White Witch's powerful magic.
As he fell to the ground, floating in mid-air, Su Ming, with Barry's help, had already reached his landing spot.
"This scene feels familiar, have I chopped something falling from the sky before?"
Su Ming raised his Great Sword, posing mid-air, and in the state boosted by Divine Speed, he had the leisure to chat with Barry beside him.
Barbatos seemed to be in slow motion, though pulled by a silver hand, he was descending slower than a snail.
Turning back to look at the arriving heroes, all with exaggerated facial expressions, gritting their teeth as they ran in slow motion, sweat seemingly paused mid-air, even their breaths elongated endlessly.
Barry tilted his head in confusion, "Really? I don't think so."
"Maybe I remembered wrong, doesn't matter." Su Ming replied casually, as Order Magic was guiding Barbatos onto his sword.
"Are you ready? I'm leaving, you'll lose the Divine Speed soon." Barry said, released his hand from Su Ming's shoulder and waved, indicating he'd observe from a few hundred meters away.
Having gone through a process baptized in blood and brain matter, he decided to keep some distance.
Barbatos is huge, if he spurts blood, it could easily reach dozens of meters, so Barry decided to retreat first.
"Go ahead, don't go too far, I'll need you and the Divine Speed soon."
Su Ming tensed his muscles, set his stance, and watched the air intently.
Next, with a 'splat', Barbatos fell directly onto him, Su Ming was like a nail, plunged into Barbatos' body.
Indeed, even if Barbatos lay flat on the ground, his body thickness was about seven or eight meters, and Su Ming completely disappeared into his chest cavity.
"Hmm... took some impact, but it's not a big deal, though this guy's full of Dark Energy inside, really impressive."
The black gooey substance, a pungent smell, it was like dropping into a swamp.
Su Ming moved his arm, in the past, such an impact would've given him a fracture, but with the new skeleton, he only felt slight vibrations, no injury at all.
Everything around was pitch black, Su Ming felt like he was soaked in icy cold seawater, the piercing cold and the inexplicable stench, leaving him with a suffocating sensation.
Even night vision-empowered goggles couldn't penetrate the surrounding darkness, as everything here was energy-induced, not merely lacking light.
His armor emitted sizzling sounds, the energy corroding the Promethium metal, he immediately decided to act.
Though uncertain of his surroundings, he was undoubtedly inside Barbatos, so he swung his Great Sword wildly around him.
The feedback told him he indeed hit something.
Barbatos struggled on the ground, as if tearing open his chest searching for something inside, but several Supermen flew over at that moment, firmly gripping and pressing his hands against the ground.
Though unaware of Barbatos' intentions, whatever he was trying to do, they couldn't let him succeed.
Barbatos let out a piercing scream, even the Supermen were pale from the noise. Mars Hunter unveiled out of Invisibility, glanced at Barbatos, then turned and flew to the Cosmic Tuning Fork, searching for ways to reverse the Dark Energy.
"Ah! How dare you touch my liver!"
Barbatos felt a sudden abdominal pain, an organ got sliced.
"Stay away from my heart!"
He felt another twinge in his heart, such injuries were grave to him.
Listening to his cries, Su Ming felt relaxed, what was originally blind chopping turned out informative with Barbatos constantly shouting, guiding Su Ming on what he was slicing.
After a few sword swings, he'd pause to listen, and Barbatos would instantly yell out what organ was being chopped, delightful.
In a matter of seconds, it was like Su Ming turned into Sun Wukong inside a demon's stomach, causing a great turmoil in heaven, feeling organ remnants reaching past his knees.
The crucial organs were shredded, leaving Barbatos hanging by a thread.
Sadly, this entity couldn't be killed; he was the embodiment of negative wills from the Dark Multiverse, and as long as there's a trace of negativity in the DC World, he couldn't die.
Su Ming, no matter how powerful, can't govern the minds of every individual across the Multiverse.
The innards served no physiological function, merely storage or amplification of Dark Energy, coincidentally resembling common organs.
So after enough havoc, he picked a direction, swinging his sword madly forward, soon carving an opening in Barbatos' side, emerging outside.
Barbatos' blood was black, Su Ming looked like he climbed out of black mud.
Fortunately, with so many Supermen around, one unfamiliar one gently blew on him, and the filth blew away, instantly refreshed.
With this cleansing ability, why haven't laundry detergent or washing machine companies sought Superman for endorsements? Clark's reporter salary is meager, earning some legal side income as Superman isn't wrong, right?
Su Ming felt much cleaner now, just a bit cold.
Barbatos still had a breath left, and what happens next would depend on others, whether they choose a magic seal, or a high-tech cage, Su Ming wanted no more part in dealing with immortal beings.
The Joker Dragons lost their Dark Energy protection in the sky, soon strangled by the heroes below, the villains from different worlds, without their backbone, scattered in all directions.
The heroes began capturing them separately, each world's hero going after the villains from their world, perhaps intending to imprison them back home.
Though the Qiongji crashed, with so many heroes around, repairs would be swift.
Not far off, Steel Bone and Mars Hunter studied the Tuning Fork, Su Ming wasn't proficient in these high-tech gadgets, so he decided to find Diana and the Laughing Bat.
The Laughing Bat was slippery, in the comics, after Barbatos' defeat, he even planned on colliding the minds of the 'Watcher' and 'Anti-Monitor' companions to destroy the Multiverse.
Their minds didn't just store opposite substances with huge energy but held all DC Universe information, and if collided, everything would annihilate.
If there was anyone Barbatos never deceived, it was undoubtedly the Laughing Bat, who outwardly worked for Barbatos but had his own plans, aiming to destroy all worlds.
Ruling the Multiverse? Too dull, better to light a grand firework.
Infected by the Joker Virus, he was less a Batman and more a Joker from another world.
This Joker also possessed all Batman's abilities.
Originally, Su Ming tasked Diana to take him on; it seems there's trouble, as this guy likely exploited Diana's weakness to control her.
Now Su Ming searched through the crowd for Barry, hoping he wasn't running around.
