Chapter 141: Initial Encounter
Thanos suddenly looked up to see an armored figure hovering in mid-air, her cape snapping in the wind.
The woman simply stood quietly in mid-air, yet she still exuded a powerful sense of oppression.
Thanos slowly raised the battle blade in his hand and looked at the woman with a solemn expression.
"Who are you?"
However, the woman merely glanced indifferently at Thanos.
"Faora of the Justice League!"
"Kryptonian!"
Just as Thanos swung his battle blade, Faora's figure suddenly slammed into him.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Thanos's tall body was instantly sent flying.
His body was like a cannonball crashing obliquely into the ground, leaving a huge deep crater in the earth.
Thanos shook his head and had just stood up.
Faora's figure was already charging over once more.
Thanos was not frightened by falling into a disadvantage.
As a renowned powerhouse in the universe, he had defeated countless experts.
There were also those who had once gained the upper hand through various means.
But in the end, they were defeated and became lost souls beneath his blade.
His combat talent seemed innate, and his rich combat experience finally allowed him to steady his footing in the face of Faora's attacks.
The battle blade in his hand danced unceasingly, resembling a master swordsman of exquisite skill.
The shadows of fists, legs, and blades had merged into a blur, with the aftermath spreading around the two of them.
Gravel around the battlefield of the two constantly splattered outward.
At this moment, the battle blade in Thanos's hand suddenly slashed upward!
Clang!
With a crisp, loud crash, a burst of sparks erupted from Faora's chest, and her entire body was suddenly sent flying backward.
Her body shot straight out, heavily crashing into the body of a volcano.
A large crater instantly appeared on the massive volcanic body.
Just as Thanos was about to step forward, a figure suddenly flew out from the dark pit, and Faora once again charged toward him carrying powerful momentum.
Bang!
Thanos was suddenly sent flying backward, a sharp pain searing through his chest.
His body slid continuously across the ground, leaving a severely frictional scratch on the earth before finally stopping its momentum after a long while.
Before he could react, Faora launched her attack once more.
She completely transformed into numerous afterimages, surrounding Thanos in the center like a tornado, launching attacks continuously from around him.
The overwhelming onslaught continuously assailed Thanos in an endless stream.
Thanos was not frightened by Faora's dense and suffocating offensive rhythm.
Wielding his battle blade, he parried Faora's attacks with all his might.
Faora's figures permeated his surroundings, every single attack carrying tremendous force.
Fists, legs, knees, elbows!
Every single part turned into the most lethal weapon, ruthlessly pounding toward Thanos.
Fists and feet collided fiercely with the battle blade.
The more they fought, the more alarmed Thanos became; Faora's might left him deeply shocked.
He had roamed the universe for countless years, slaughtering all his enemies and fighting countless battles, his combat skills having reached near perfection.
He never expected that the woman before him would possess combat experience not the least bit inferior to his own!
She was like a born warrior.
Every punch and kick from Faora posed a tremendous threat to him, and every time he was hit, intense pain coursed through his body.
Therefore, he could only use his battle blade to parry when the attack arrived, then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The sounds of collisions between fists, feet, and the battle blade echoed throughout the battlefield, as clusters of sparks continuously bloomed between the two.
Clang, clang, clang, clang—!
Meanwhile, outside this battlefield, just as Thanos's subordinates were about to continue their actions, a man also clad in black armor crashed into Thanos's army.
Arnold's figure flew rapidly, shuttling back and forth among Thanos's soldiers.
Where he passed, not a single intact corpse was left behind.
Countless mists of blood drifted through the air of Nidavellir.
Dwarf King Eitri, watching Thanos's chaotic army, hurriedly commanded his subordinate dwarves.
"Everyone take out your hammers and drive Thanos's army out."
Roar!
The dwarves also became excited at this moment.
Having been forced by Thanos to forge divine artifacts for him, they had long been filled with righteous indignation.
If they weren't truly no match for him and still holding onto the hope that Thanos wouldn't strike, they would have already risen up in rebellion.
But now that powerhouses had come to rescue them, they no longer needed to endure it.
At this moment, the eyes with which this group of dwarves looked at Dwarf King Eitri were filled with adoration.
Eitri truly was a qualified king, actually managing to befriend such powerhouses in advance and gain their friendship.
No wonder they wondered why Eitri hadn't demanded payment when crafting equipment for Kal-El.
It seemed this was Eitri's foresight.
Dwarf King Eitri also felt fortunate.
Fortunately, he, Eitri, had extensive connections, and his friends gave him enough face to make a special trip to rescue them.
However, now was not the time to reminisce about friendship.
He was seen raising the large hammer he used to forge divine artifacts, his massive body rapidly charging toward the soldiers ahead.
Boom!
A heavy hammer smashed out fiercely, and several soldiers suddenly scattered as they were sent flying backward.
"Kill them!"
Roar, roar, roar!
The group of dwarves behind him rushed forward in unison.
Each person dragged a massive hammer in their hands.
Excited to the extreme, they roared as they charged toward Thanos's army.
Bang, bang, bang—!
Although their height was not considered tall, they swung giant hammers on the forge platforms all day long, and their own strength was not small.
Thus, following Arnold, a group of dwarves wielding giant hammers crashed into Thanos's army.
The soldiers' bodies were constantly hurled up into the sky, then heavily fell back toward the ground.
In a short period of time, the army brought by Thanos had already fallen into chaos.
At this moment, Thanos was still exchanging blows with Faora, but in front of the powerful Faora, his figure continuously retreated.
His body smashed through one mountain peak after another, leaving one huge scar after another on the ground.
Bang!
With another massive explosion, Thanos's body was tossed high into the air.
Just as he was about to steady his posture, Faora's figure had already appeared in the sky above.
"Too slow!"
Faora said indifferently, suddenly delivering a heavy punch that smashed down fiercely.
This punch carried unrivaled force, slamming heavily against Thanos's chest.
Bang!
"Ugh, ah!"
Thanos let out a cry of pain, the muscles in his chest trembling continuously, and his entire body instantly plunged toward the ground.
Bang!
Rumble!
The earth shook and mountains trembled as Thanos's body plummeted into the canyon, a deafening explosion echoing across the entire canyon sky.
Faora hovered above the canyon, looking quietly down below.
Thanos stood up from the ground once again.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the Infinity Gauntletsuddenly emitted a purple light.
The Power Stone shone with dazzling brilliance.
He suddenly leaped up, the tremendous force shattering the ground beneath him.
His body rushed into the sky above the canyon, charging straight toward the hovering Faora.
He clenched his fist tightly, his right hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet striking out with all its might.
Faora refused to show weakness, similarly clenching her fist and meeting him head-on.
The bodies of the two were like two high-speed trains, colliding head-on with powerful impact force.
Bang!
With a loud crash, a shockwave instantly spread outward with the two of them at the center.
Gravel drifted into the air, and trees snapped.
The two were still locked in a contest of strength.
Faora and Thanos's figures retreated simultaneously.
Without pausing, they collided once more, their formidable powers continuously pounding against each other.
Striking out with another punch, the purple light on Thanos's hand grew even more intense.
Boundless energy suddenly surged from his hand.
Bang!
Finally, Faora's body shot backward at an extremely fast speed, crashing straight through a surrounding mountain.
Thanos finally raised his head, looking at Faora in the distance.
This was the first time he had gained the upper hand in their exchange of blows.
Chapter 142 He Is Strong and Also Has Brains
Faora climbed back up from the ground and gently brushed the dust off the back of her cape.
Although somewhat unexpected, it wasn't entirely surprising.
After all, the infinity stones had a huge reputation. As a powerful treasure in the universe, having some special functions was nothing more than normal.
But she wouldn't just admit defeat like this.
She pulled herself together and charged at Thanos again.
She pushed her speed to the absolute limit, desperately looking for flaws in Thanos's attacks.
Thanos's strength, augmented by the Power Stone and the Soul Stone, had indeed improved by a notch.
His strength was no longer a weakness, and every collision with Faora could send her flying.
But Faora also changed her tactics, dodging Thanos's attacks whenever possible and looking for offensive opportunities amidst defense.
The battle fell into a stalemate, with the two figures darting out from time to time, and the surrounding environment constantly being destroyed by their fight.
Rocks and sand flew everywhere!
Bang!
At this moment, Thanos's distant spaceship suddenly fired a powerful energy cannon beam, shooting straight at Arno in the battlefield below.
Arno had just turned around when a blue energy beam instantly slammed into his chest, and Arno's body immediately flew backward out of control.
Bang, bang, bang—!
Thanos no longer entangled with Faora, as the power of the Power Stone was triggered.
His hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and he punched fiercely toward the pursuing Faora.
Bang!
Without the expected immense force, Thanos's figure suddenly shot backward into the sky.
Vanishing into the high altitude in the blink of an eye.
Faora saw Thanos's spaceship beginning to escape.
Unwilling to let it end like this, Faora instantly soared across the air and gave chase.
Bang, bang, bang!
The spaceship kept firing energy cannons, but it was completely useless against Faora's agile movement techniques.
Countless small spaceships swarmed out from Sanctuary II, launching an attack on Faora who was following closely behind.
Bang, bang, bang!
Countless energy rays grazed past Faora, but she still shuttled flexibly through the spaceship fleet.
Countless small spaceships were smashed in half by the high-speed flying Faora.
Rumble!
The spaceships spiraled down and crashed, with balls of fire emerging high in the sky.
Seeing that Faora was still relentlessly pursuing, Sanctuary II suddenly fired a dense barrage of energy cannons, completely engulfing Faora's figure.
When Faora's figure rushed back up, Thanos's spaceship had already disappeared into space.
Arno's figure stood beside Faora.
"Should we keep chasing?"
Faora shook her head.
"We'll wait for Kal-El. I'm going to tear down that annoying spaceship on Titan!"
Successfully rushing to Nidavellir and even having a fight with Thanos.
Faora already had a rough idea of Thanos's strength.
It was indeed not bad under the augmentation of the Infinity Gauntlet.
But compared to Kal-El, there was still a clear gap.
Arno nodded.
The two didn't stay long in Nidavellir, boarding the spaceship again amidst the lingering reluctance in the eyes of Dwarf King Eitri of Nidavellir.
The spaceship slowly wandered in the universe, waiting for Kal-El to return.
Earth, Avengers.
Tony suddenly spoke.
"I think our Avengers need more and stronger forces, after all, we don't know if there will be any alien invasions in the future."
"The Avengers need to expand and add fresh blood."
Steve Rogers also nodded in agreement.
"I found a pajama baby who can shoot webs like a spider and swings around in the city."
Tony said with a smile, sharing his discovery.
"Sounds like a kid!"
Natasha had her legs placed on the table, lazily leaning back against the chair behind her.
Kal-El's mouth hooked slightly upward.
Looks like that failed man!
Captain America also spoke suddenly.
"I have a candidate too."
"That fan of yours?"
"Yes!"
Kal-El suddenly interjected.
"The Avengers don't seem to be lacking people that much; why not have them join the Justice League instead."
"That won't do. You guys aren't around, Earth needs stronger power!"
Nick Fury immediately became excited.
"I was just joking!"
Kal-El stood up and led Wanda and the others outward.
"Leaving now?"
"Of course, Faora and Arno are still waiting for Thanos."
Steve Rogers and Thor and the others stepped forward.
"Remember to notify us if you need any help; we are always here."
Kal-El smiled.
"I won't stand on ceremony."
As Kal-El clenched the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand, the power of the Space Stone was activated once again.
A familiar power of space instantly enveloped them.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, Kal-El and the others' figures disappeared.
"Such a cool vanishing trick, Kal-El has to teach me next time!"
Tony made a casual joke.
Aboard the Justice spaceship, the figures of Kal-El and the others suddenly appeared.
Feeling the aura still lingering on Faora, Kal-El suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Ran into Thanos?"
Faora slightly raised her head to look at Kal-El.
"He appeared in Nidavellir and had the Dwarf King forge an Infinity Gauntlet for him."
"It seems like you guys stopped him."
Faora slowly shook her head.
"He still left with the gauntlet, and I couldn't keep him."
"What does Thanos look like? How strong is he?"
Sharon Carter on the side suddenly asked with curiosity.
Faora turned her head expressionlessly and stared at Sharon Carter.
"He is very strong and very tall!"
"As for how strong he is, I only know he can easily kill you!"
Sharon Carter shut her mouth.
Wanda's eyes suddenly turned scarlet.
"I want to try whether he can resist my Chaos Magic."
She extended one hand, a touch of scarlet magic energy dancing at her fingertips, emitting a massive energy that made people's hearts leap.
Kal-El suddenly spoke up, interrupting Wanda's conceited fantasy.
"No matter what, you are not allowed to go and fight Thanos alone!"
Seeing that Wanda seemed a bit dismissive, Kal-Elsolemnly warned her once again.
"Listen, Thanos has fought countless wars, killed countless people, and encountered countless powerhouses."
"Yet they all failed at Thanos's hands. Do you know why?"
Wanda raised her head confidently and said.
"Because he is stronger than all those people."
Kal-El stood in front of Wanda, staring into her scarlet eyes.
"Not really, because not only is he strong, but he also has brains!"
Kal-El turned and walked away, but Wanda's voice rang out again.
"You mean I don't have brains?"
Kal-El waved his hand.
"I didn't say that!"
"But that's exactly what you mean!"
At this time, everyone inside the spaceship turned around and busied themselves with their own affairs, and no one paid attention to Wanda and Kal-El's argument.
But the spaceship didn't stop; it continued flying toward its target.
Titan.
Darkseid's ring-shaped spaceship began to land, and Thanos's Sanctuary II finally successfully returned.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Darkseid jumped down from the spaceship, his tall physique still full of oppression.
Thanos walked out of Sanctuary II and nodded slightly toward Darkseid.
Seeing Corvus Glaive behind Darkseid also nodding, he finally felt at ease.
It was just unexpected that every single one of his Black Order members was injured; it seemed Earth's strength was indeed not simple.
At this moment, Darkseid suddenly extended his hand, and the eye of agamotto quietly lay in his palm, emitting a green glow.
Chapter 143: Decisive Moment
Thanos reached out to take it, picked up the Time Stone, and set it into the slot of the Infinity Gauntlet.
He clenched his fist slightly, and the power brought by the stones became even stronger.
Three-colored lights wrapped around Thanos's arm like electric snakes.
Darkseid didn't care, however.
Although the Infinity Stones were not bad, a powerhouse like him didn't need to care too much about them.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have capable subordinates in this universe, he wouldn't have personally taken action to help Thanos.
It was simply because the strength of Earth and the Justice League was too powerful.
If he hadn't taken advantage of Kal-El's absence from Earth to kill that powerful mage with thunderous momentum, his disadvantage would only grow larger and larger.
He had to find a method to open the passage to the original universe as soon as possible.
"We got the Time Stone on Earth, and Kal-El will soon come looking for us."
Hearing this, Thanos also raised his head slightly to look into the depths of the universe.
"Then let him come. The six stones can only exert their maximum effect when mastered in the hands of one person."
Thanos was expressionless, but in his heart, he was already prepared for a fight to the death.
He wanted to gather the six infinity stones for the sake of balancing the universe.
But Superman Kal-El of the Justice League obviously had the same behavior.
Although he didn't know Superman's purpose, both of them equally needed the infinity stones, destined for a battle.
He didn't have absolute certainty of winning, nor would he place his hopes on Darkseid.
After all, they were not people of the same path.
What he could do now was to fight with all his might, regardless of the outcome.
He suddenly stood up and looked down at the Black Order.
"Go prepare. This battle will determine the fate of the universe!"
"As you command, my lord!"
The Black Order all went down to prepare, while Darkseidjust quietly sat on the distant high platform.
Holding his own spear in one hand, he quietly waited for the arrival of his opponent.
Spaceships continuously descended on Titan, and dense armies of soldiers gathered in the distance.
The spaceships on aerial guard also opened their gun barrels pointing toward the sky.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Thanos sat on the steps below the throne, his battle blade placed diagonally.
His expression remained unchanged, completely devoid of the tension before a major battle.
Darkseid at the side looked at Thanos with some appreciation.
"If in the original universe, a talent like you would be the general most needed by the New Gods."
"Much stronger than that trash Steppenwolf."
"He can only be a vanguard charging into battle, a brute who can only rely on force."
"An unqualified subordinate and cannon fodder."
Thanos turned his head to look at Darkseid.
"No matter where, Thanos will not take orders from others."
"Because he has his own persistence and his own mission."
Darkseid slowly shook his head.
"Childish thoughts. I don't care about the balance of the universe; they only need to be conquered and become the army of me, Darkseid, to conquer the universe."
Thanos shook his head.
"You are very strong, but unfortunately a warmonger."
"Even if we can defeat the Justice League, we will eventually become enemies."
Darkseid's voice was as calm as ever.
"No! Before that, I will hand you over to Desaad and let him transform you into my fiercest warrior."
...
Meanwhile, outside Titan, inside the Justice spaceship.
With Aiki's operation, the situation on Titan suddenly appeared on the spaceship's display screen.
Overwhelming spaceships shuttled through Titan, and dense soldiers and Parademons appeared from Titan.
"It seems they are ready, prepared for a decisive battle with us on Titan."
Wanda's eyes were dyed scarlet.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Pietro was not so optimistic, however.
"Wait, is it just us?"
The others turned their heads to look at Pietro.
"I mean with so many people, we'll be worked to death."
"We need some support."
"There don't need to be many people, but they can't be too weak."
Kal-El nodded in agreement.
"Some people can come in handy!"
Finished speaking, Kal-El's figure suddenly disappeared from the spaceship.
The next moment, he had already appeared at Stark Towerof the Avengers headquarters on Earth.
At this time, only Natasha was left behind on guard within the Avengers.
Kal-El didn't say much.
"Call them all over. I want to arrange a team-building activity for you guys to consolidate our friendship."
Natasha instinctively frowned.
"Team-building activity? Is it an outdoor activity?"
Kal-El nodded.
"Rest assured, it definitely won't disappoint you!"
Half-doubtingly, Natasha contacted the others and called back all members of the Avengers.
Strange was also called over together by Kal-El.
Facing everyone's doubtful gazes, Kal-El just smiled slightly.
"I believe this is a surprise for you all."
The power of the Space Stone surged out again, and a teleportation aperture radiating holy light suddenly appeared behind them, instantly swallowing their bodies.
When they reappeared, they had arrived inside the Justice spaceship.
"Oh god, you kidnapped us out of Earth!"
After the few exchanged simple greetings in the spaceship, Kal-El suddenly saw a few more spaceships appear behind the Justice ship.
Aiki's voice suddenly sounded.
"I notified Peter Quill, and he brought his Guardians of the Galaxy to insist on joining."
"And Dwarf King Eitri also brought Nidavellir over to assist in the battle."
"Well done!"
The Avengers also finally figured out their current situation.
"Go to Titan to fight Thanos and Darkseid? I like this crazy plan!"
Thor, however, was not afraid at all, instead reigniting his fighting spirit.
He picked up his Mjolnir and carried it on his shoulder.
"For the glory of the Northern Gods, Thor the God of Thunder will not fear war."
He suddenly turned his head to look at Kal-El.
"How many are we fighting?"
"There might be millions, we can't even count how many there are."
Pietro suddenly chimed in.
Thor: "..."
"How many people do we have?"
"There should be a few hundred!"
Thor suddenly turned around, and Kal-El timely pressed down on his shoulder.
"Rest assured, leave the others to me!"
Steve Rogers also exchanged a helpless look with Natasha, Tony, and the others.
"I can do this all day, but I don't want to fight into the second day!"
Kal-El immediately nodded.
"Captain, you just need to fight for one day!"
"Also, Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, everyone take care of them more."
Natasha suddenly lowered her arms blocking her chest and stood in front of Kal-El.
"Don't treat us as weaklings."
Hawkeye Barton put his quiver on his back.
"We will blow your minds."
...
The spaceship gradually approached Titan. The moment Thanos's army guarding the spaceships outside Titanspotted the Justice ship, they pounced forward.
Before the Justice ship could make a move, the dwarf spaceship led by Dwarf King Eitri in the rear suddenly fired energy bullets.
The energy bullets exploded suddenly near the dart-shaped spaceships, and energy nets opened instantly one after another.
Countless dart-shaped spaceships were instantly captured by the energy nets.
Along with the powerful electric light flashing on the giant energy nets, the dart-shaped spaceships captured by the giant nets exploded one after another.
Burning spaceships fell one by one from space, plunging toward Titan.
Dwarf King Eitri utilized the special weapons equipped on their spaceships to quickly destroy the enemy spaceships blocking the Justice League's spaceship.
Countless spaceship wreckage continuously fell toward Titan like a meteor shower.
The earth trembled, and the flames of war raged!
Chapter 144: Battle on Titan
Shattered meteors wreathed in flames plummeted from the sky, leaving countless craters on the ground.
Some spaceship wreckage fell into the dense army on the ground, stirring up a bloody storm among countless soldiers.
Patches of blood mist filled the air above the battlefield.
Under the escort of the Nidavellir spaceship, Justice League finally entered Titan.
As soon as the spaceship lowered its altitude, the overwhelming Parademons swarmed around them.
They had wings, ferocious faces, and held energy firearms in their hands.
"I can't believe one day we have to fight this kind of thing."
The spaceship immediately fired energy cannons to disperse the surrounding Parademons.
Until the spaceship successfully landed on the ground, a group of people walked down from it.
Looking at the endless army ahead, Tony suddenly turned his head and glanced at Kal-El.
"You can take us back, right?"
Kal-El nodded.
"Maybe!"
"What do you mean by maybe?"
Guardians of the Galaxy also walked down the spaceship, preparing for battle.
Dwarf King Eitri brought the dwarf fleet to exchange fire with Thanos's spaceship in mid-air.
Looking at the endless stream of alien soldiers and Parademons rushing over from a distance.
Everyone suddenly felt at a loss for where to begin.
"Who's going?"
Kal-El stepped forward first, his eyes instantly shooting out two golden beams.
Omega Beams.
The beams rushed toward the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and more than half of the rushing Parademonsand alien soldiers instantly vanished.
Until two green beams similarly shot from a distance to block Kal-El's golden beams.
Kal-El turned back and glanced at everyone.
"I will go deal with Darkseid, leave this place to you."
After saying that, Kal-El quickly leaped into mid-air, where Darkseid was already waiting.
"Kal-El, long time no see!"
Kal-El didn't stand on ceremony.
"We don't seem that close, do we?"
"No matter what, neither of us belongs to this world!"
"We are both outsiders!"
"Cut the crap, our battle is not over yet!"
Kal-El finished unceremoniously.
The figures of the two vanished at the same time, colliding instantly.
Bang!
The huge aftermath spread outward.
Although this was high in the sky, there was no one around the two of them.
But their battle still affected the battlefield below.
Large swaths of Parademons flying in the air suddenly became unstable and plummeted toward the ground.
The two flew toward space at the same time, completely letting loose in the vast universe.
Their bodies turned into constantly flashing points of light, colliding wildly in the universe.
Boom!
Following Kal-El's heavy punch, Darkseid immediately plummeted toward an uninhabited planet.
His body crashed heavily into the planet's surface, and the shockwave ripped up the surrounding ground.
Kal-El did not stop; the Infinity Gauntlet suddenly emitted a faint glow, and the power of space surged forth instantly.
Kal-El's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Darkseid.
Darkseid didn't react at all before Kal-El's fist blasted over from the void in front of him.
Bang!
With another loud bang, Darkseid's body continued to plunge downward.
Kal-El didn't stop and attacked again.
Fists kept landing on Darkseid's chest.
As Kal-El gathered all his strength once more, his whole body suddenly leaped up.
Carrying boundless power, he shot downward again.
The power of space erupted, and Kal-El's dual fists heavily slammed into Darkseid's physical body.
Boom!
As immense force came over, Darkseid's body finally crashed through the planet's core, shooting toward the depths of the universe.
The desolate planet suddenly exploded along with the destruction of its core.
Kal-El ignored this innocent planet and chased after Darkseid once more.
Boom!
At this moment, two beams shot over rapidly, instantly hitting Kal-El's body.
A powerful energy came from the beams, and Kal-Elinstantly plummeted toward yet another distant planet.
Bang!
Kal-El's body left a giant crater on the ground, the ground shattered, and cracks spread outward continuously.
Darkseid wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Those gems are not bad, but they are not enough!"
He suddenly extended his palm forward, and a spear instantly appeared in his hand.
He gripped the spear tightly, and wisps of black flames of destruction instantly spread across the entire spear.
Kal-El could feel the terrifying aura coming from the spear; that destructive flame seemed to possess the power to burn everything.
Kal-El did not hesitate, a black spear likewise appeared in his hand, and golden energy lightning quickly covered the spear.
"Ha!"
Two lights flashed suddenly, and Kal-El and Darkseidinitiated an earth-shattering battle once again.
Meanwhile, on Titan, Faora blocked in front of Thanos once again.
The figures of the two shifted and leaped continuously across the battlefield.
Every collision would shatter everything around them.
Captain America held a shield, shuttling continuously among the alien soldiers and sending soldier after soldier flying.
Natasha held a specially crafted staff, knocking down enemies one by one amidst flickering current.
Thor suddenly leaped up, and the Mjolnir in his hand erupted with powerful thunderous might.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Mjolnir slammed heavily into the ground, and lightning snakes immediately spread outward along the ground.
Boom!
Until spreading for several hundred meters, the powerful thunderous might gradually dissipated.
All the surrounding Parademon soldiers who swarmed over were instantly cleared out in a flash.
But this minor loss was still just a drop in the ocean for the massive army.
At this moment, Black Order also joined the battlefield.
Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, and Cull Obsidian each found their opponents.
Corvus Glaive's battle blade slashed down with force, instantly sending Iron Man, who was firing missiles, flying.
Proxima Midnight also shot out a dark light beam simultaneously, blasting toward Captain America at an extremely fast speed.
Bang!
With a huge explosion, the beam abruptly hit the shield that Steve Rogers held in front of him, and Captain America was instantly blasted backward.
Ebony Maw even manipulated the rubble on the battlefield, turning them into cannonballs shooting toward the members of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Bang bang bang—!
Peter Quill, Gamora, and several other members of Guardians of the Galaxy dodged continuously, as the dense rain of stones had already enshrouded them.
At this moment, crimson Chaos Magic suddenly blocked in front of several people, and all the stone bullets in mid-air were instantly frozen in mid-air.
Wanda's palm suddenly waved, and all the incoming stone bullets fiercely shot toward the alien soldiers opposite.
Bang bang bang—!
Large areas of soldiers fell to the ground in response, and an area was instantly cleared out.
Quicksilver Pietro turned into a gust of wind shuttling across the battlefield, and the soldiers blocking the way ahead were successively knocked into mid-air by this powerful impact, scattering down from mid-air again.
Boom!
Before Ebony Maw could react, his entire body was instantly blown flying.
Pietro stopped his figure and walked past from the side, wearing a body-fitting biological battle armor on his body.
Looking at Ebony Maw, who had crashed heavily to the ground, his tone carried banter.
"Didn't expect this?"
Ebony Maw immediately got up, his body suspended into mid-air.
Just as he was about to continue fighting, a streak of crimson magical energy suddenly surged over.
The magical energy controlled Ebony Maw's body.
"Urgh ah!"
Wanda's palm suddenly flicked, and Ebony Maw's body was shot far away once again, crashing heavily into the chaotic battlefield.
Watching countless soldiers surging forward, Wandapushed out her hands fiercely.
The crimson magic instantly condensed an energy wall that slammed forward.
Boom——!
All the soldiers and Parademons blocking the front were blasted backward one after another in front of this powerful magical energy, their bodies bursting apart continuously.
The huge wall of magic pushed forward steadily, carrying an astonishing might to shatter all resistance.
Chapter 145: The Yaka Arrow Shows Its Might
"Boss, I kind of regret it. I shouldn't have come."
"Looks like we're going to die here!"
Kraglin made a miserable face as his gun kept firing.
The few subordinates beside him also nodded.
Rocket Raccoon, holding an energy cannon in his arms, suddenly fired, blasting away several soldiers rushing from ahead.
"Shut up, we will definitely win!"
Groot's hands lengthened, and his thick branches swept horizontally without stopping.
Large numbers of Parademons flying in the air were strangled by the branches.
"I am Groot!"
"Will we win?"
Kraglin looked at Thanos's seemingly endless army and the terrifying Parademons flying back and forth across the battlefield, finding it hard to believe.
Yondu suddenly dropped the energy cannon barrel in his hands.
"Guaranteed win!"
His whistle suddenly sounded, and the whistle arrow in his quiver quickly drifted out, hovering in front of him.
Swish, swish, swish—!
Accompanied by Yondu's whistling, the Yaka Arrow suddenly shuttled at extreme speed.
The whistle arrow continuously traveled across the battlefield, piercing through the bodies of soldiers and Parademons one by one.
Its speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, large numbers of Parademons fell from the sky, and large numbers of alien soldiers collapsed to the ground.
The whistle arrow completely turned into a blur, and all the soldiers and Parademons turned into cold corpses in front of the rapidly shooting whistle arrow.
"That's at least a bit of hope."
At this moment, two scorching energy rays suddenly appeared in the distant battlefield.
All enemies that were hit exploded one after another.
Arnold hovered mid-air, his Heat Vision erupting at full power, turning enemies into ashes one by one.
He did not stop, slowly turning his head as his Heat Visionswept across the battlefield like a sharp longsword.
Countless Parademons and soldiers were cut in half in front of this powerful energy ray.
Tony, wearing the anti-superman armor, flew up into mid-air.
"I knew special talents would make an appearance."
After a long while, Arnold stopped his Heat Vision and looked up at the high sky with his eyes.
There, Thanos's spaceship was engaged in a fierce battle with the spaceship led by Dwarf King Eitri.
Although Eitri's fleet's attacks were sharp, they still fell into a disadvantage in front of the overwhelming dart-shaped spaceships.
Arnold hesitated no longer, shooting straight toward the sky like a missile.
He had no other moves, only sprinting at high speed and fiercely crashing toward the dart-shaped spaceship.
Bang, bang, bang—!
His body rampaged through mid-air, and countless spaceships turned in half in front of him.
His figure was like an enlarged version of the whistle arrow, constantly shuttling through the spaceships.
Wherever he passed, countless flashes of fire exploded.
Arnold's joining greatly reduced the pressure on Eitri's fleet.
Their firepower became even more ferocious, venting towards the enemy's spaceship fleet.
Sharon Carter was also wearing nano armor, with her palm cannons firing continuously.
The micro-missiles equipped on her back cut across the sky, exploding loudly amidst the pouncing Parademons, causing large numbers of Parademons to fall as charred corpses.
She whipped her right arm, and a laser sword extended from the wrist of her armor.
"Come over here, you monsters."
She leaped up and suddenly shot forward.
Several pouncing Parademons bared their fangs and brandished their claws, their fierce eyes staring straight at Sharon Carter.
Swish, swish, swish—!
A flash of swords and sabers passed, and the laser sword swept through the bodies of several Parademons without any hindrance.
Bang!
She landed heavily, her knees bending slightly.
When she turned her head, several Parademons had already broken into scattered pieces, and thick green blood seeped into the ground.
"This thing is really easy to use!"
I don't know how much time had passed, but most of the spaceships in the sky had finally been eliminated by Arnold.
Countless spaceships trailing thick smoke crashed onto the ground.
Without hesitation, Arnold immediately turned around and rushed into the battlefield below.
Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Ebony Maw were fighting with Thor, Tony, and the others with all their might when an armored figure suddenly rushed over violently.
Boom!
Arnold suddenly rushed into the battlefield with powerful momentum, instantly blasting Corvus Glaive far away.
He didn't stop, quickly rushing in front of Corvus Glaive.
Casually grabbing the battle blade slashed by Corvus Glaive.
His eye sockets quickly turned red, and Heat Visionsuddenly shot out, hitting Corvus Glaive squarely in the chest.
"Ah, ah—!"
"No!"
A black light ray suddenly shot from a distance, leaving massive sparks behind Arnold's back.
Arnold's Heat Vision was instantly interrupted.
But a shocking bloody hole had already appeared on Corvus Glaive's chest.
Seeing Proxima Midnight suddenly distracted and attacking Arnold in the distance, Thor stomped his sole heavily onto the ground.
His entire body suddenly leaped up, his eyes emitting blue light, and the power of thunder flickered continuously.
Proxima Midnight remained completely unaware, rushing straight toward Corvus Glaive.
Suddenly, Thor's warhammer fell heavily.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, Proxima Midnight's body was heavily struck by Mjolnir, and the massive power of thunder instantly surged into her body.
"Ah!"
With a painful scream, Proxima Midnight's body finally could not withstand the powerful thunder power and exploded with a bang.
Bang!
The powerful energy swept away a group of surrounding foot soldiers completely.
"No!"
Corvus Glaive reached out towards Proxima Midnight, only to find his arm too heavy to lift ever again.
He lowered his head to look at the bloody hole in his chest, finally drooping his head powerlessly.
Ebony Maw had just knocked Strange flying when he saw two members of the Black Order die instantly.
Hovering angrily in mid-air with his palm raised, he suddenly manipulated an entire small hill in the distance to smash toward the Avengers.
Shadows completely enveloped everyone.
But Arnold instantly rushed to the base of the hill and slammed upwards with force.
Bang!
The powerful force shattered the entire hill, and broken rocks fell downward.
Arnold's figure did not stop, passing through the hill and shooting straight toward Ebony Maw.
Reacting, Ebony Maw hurriedly manipulated all controllable objects around him to block in front of him, hoping to stop Arnold's attack.
Building fragments, spaceship wreckage, everything was manipulated by him to block around, forming a seamless bell-shaped protective shield.
But Arnold did not stop, piercing the air like a sharp arrow as he crashed toward Ebony Maw inside the protective shield.
Bang, bang, bang—!
All objects blocking the front exploded into pieces one after another; nothing could stop Arnold's forward momentum.
"No!"
Ebony Maw widened his eyes as Arnold's figure passed through layer upon layer of obstacles, instantly breaking through right in front of Ebony Maw.
Bang!
With another explosive sound, Ebony Maw suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood wildly, his entire body instantly bending.
His body heavily crashed into the protective shield behind him and fell back to the ground.
Covered in blood, he managed to crawl up and half-kneel on the ground, making a bow in the direction of Thanos.
"Respected Lord, I have let you down!"
After saying that, there was no more movement.
Roar!
Hulk's angry roar could make people feel palpitating even across a very distant battlefield.
At this moment, Hulk was pressing Cull Obsidian beneath him, stepping heavily with one foot on Cull Obsidian's body, his powerful strength tearing at Cull Obsidian's arm.
"Ah, ah—!"
Cull Obsidian roared in pain, but was completely unable to break free.
As Hulk's muscles swelled, a teeth-gritting tearing sound rang out.
"Ugh, ahhh—!"
Cull Obsidian's arm suddenly snapped off from the shoulder, and the entire arm was torn off along with blood.
Chapter 146 Opening the Portal
Hulk still didn't stop. He immediately flipped Cull Obsidianover, pressed his knee against Cull Obsidian's back, and grabbed Cull Obsidian's head tightly with his thick arms, pulling upward.
"Roar!"
"Splat!"
Blood splashed everywhere.
Cull Obsidian suddenly stopped struggling; his entire head had been twisted off by Hulk.
"Roar, roar!"
He let out an excited roar up at the sky.
Tony blasted a foot soldier with a repulsor ray, turning his head just in time to see this scene.
"Oh, you totally didn't need to make it this bloody. Don't share a spaceship with me on the way back."
Hulk turned his head to glare at Tony, clenching his teeth slightly.
The battlefield was filled with the smoke of war. Thanos's Black Order had all been dealt with.
Arnold no longer paid attention to the battlefield below, instead charging straight toward Thanos in the distance, who was fighting Faora.
Thanos had just repelled Faora when a loud explosion suddenly came from behind him.
Arnold's figure had already rushed over.
Throwing a punch, the immense power instantly blasted Thanos flying away.
Faora in the distance also reacted immediately.
She instantly charged toward Thanos, who was sent flying into mid-air.
With a whipping kick, she heavily struck Thanos's chest.
"Boom!"
Thanos was sent flying backward again, crashing heavily into the ground.
Just as he got up and forced Arnold back, Faora's figure appeared once more.
With a front kick, she blasted Thanos away once again.
"..."
Meanwhile, deep in the universe, the battle between Kal-El and Darkseid was still continuing.
Their spears thrust continuously, colliding with each other.
Every strike was as swift as lightning.
The two landed on a deserted planet once again, the aftershocks of their battle destroying everything around them.
The spear blades swept through the air, almost slicing space apart, and the surrounding boulders exploded one after another before this sharp aura.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang—!"
The sound of clashing metal was endless, and their movements reached the absolute limit of speed.
Finally, with one final explosive sound, Darkseid lost control and crashed deep into the universe.
"Boom, boom, boom—!"
Just as Kal-El was about to pursue, the Omega Beamssuddenly shot over.
"Boom!"
Kal-El's figure suddenly shattered, and the Omega Beamsvanished at the same time.
Another Kal-El flew in from behind, the stones on his gauntlet flashing with light.
Looking up ahead, Darkseid's figure had already vanished.
To avoid Darkseid using a diversion tactic, Kal-El immediately mobilized the power of space.
A spatial portal opened once more, swallowing Kal-El's figure within it.
On the Titan battlefield, Kal-El suddenly walked out from the portal.
He looked at the battlefield around him.
Corpses were everywhere.
Everyone was battered and bruised; almost every member of the Avengers was wounded except for Thor.
Kal-El did not hesitate, and the Omega Beams shot out immediately.
The beams traversed the battlefield at lightning speed, and all the alien soldiers and Parademons hit by the beams instantly dissipated.
All friendly personnel who came into contact with the beams also had their injuries fully healed, and the corpses climbed back up from the ground once more.
Natasha raised her head and glanced at Kal-El in mid-air.
"He's finally back!"
The battlefield gradually grew quiet, with only Thanos's battle area still holding out.
Faora, Arnold, Thor the God of Thunder, Iron Man Tony Stark, and Scarlet Witch Wanda were besieging Thanos.
Thanos had completely lost the ability to fight back.
Before he could even clench his fist, crimson Chaos Magicwrapped around his arm once again.
His defense was wide open.
With another heavy punch from Faora, Thanos was knocked down to the ground fiercely.
Blood kept flowing down from the corner of his mouth.
"Pfft!"
Finally, he could no longer hold on, and a large mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth.
"Cough, cough!"
He staggered to prop up his body and looked at the battlefield.
Corpses covered the field everywhere, and the figures of the Black Order had all disappeared completely.
This great battle was destined to come to an end here.
He slowly turned his head to look at the enemies surrounding him, the fighting spirit in his eyes completely vanishing.
He slowly sat down and threw away his helmet.
Just watching the setting sun on the horizon like this.
Kal-El's figure descended from mid-air.
Thanos turned his head.
"It seems Darkseid was defeated in the end after all!"
Kal-El smiled.
"Will you keep resisting?"
Thanos shook his head.
"I know that even if I tried my utmost, it would be impossible to defeat you all."
"Now, I just want to take one last look at this world."
"Titan, my home!"
He suddenly took off the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand and placed it slowly on the ground.
"In the end, I failed to accomplish what I wanted to do."
He slowly got up, looking at his own battered battle blade.
He casually pulled it up, and Wanda and the others around him instantly raised their guard.
He turned his head to give Titan one last look, then abruptly placed the battle blade horizontally across his neck.
"Splat!"
A crisp cutting sound rang out, and the radiance in Thanos's eyes gradually faded away.
"Thud!"
His tall body crashed heavily to the ground.
The war was finally over, and the group collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Wanda stepped forward to pick up Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet and handed it over to Kal-El.
Kal-El accepted it with a smile, but did not use it immediately.
"It's finally over. It's simply unbelievable that we actually defeated such a massive army!"
Natasha spoke with a smile.
Hawkeye Barton put away his bow and arrow.
"Right now, I just want to go back and sleep for a long time."
Kal-El nodded.
"I will send you all back in the shortest time possible."
"Seriously, I'm kind of missing Earth's hamburgers!"
Tony rubbed his belly.
"..."
Peter Quill slinked over to Gamora with a cheeky expression.
"I think it's time for us to go on a sweet interstellar trip!"
"Our adoptive father is dead, isn't that worth celebrating?!"
Gamora raised her head and smiled slightly.
Suddenly, she lifted her knee and slammed it into Peter Quill's vital spot.
"..."
One day later, inside the Justice League.
The Justice League and the Avengers gathered together in one place.
The few members of the Guardians of the Galaxy were also watching quietly behind Yondu and Star-Lord.
Under everyone's gaze, Kal-El removed the Infinity Stonesone by one from Thanos's gauntlet and placed them one by one into the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand.
As each stone entered a slot, the gauntlet would burst out with a powerful wave of energy.
Until the sixth stone was adsorbed into the gauntlet's slot, a mighty surge of energy burst forth instantly.
The energy of the stones turned into six-colored lightning wrapping around Kal-El's arm.
Kal-El could feel an invisible resistance coming from the gauntlet, as if testing the user's strength.
But this slight resistance posed no obstacle to Kal-El at all.
Kal-El slowly clenched his fist, gathering the energy of all six stones entirely in his palm.
Kal-El controlled the energy of the stones, channeling the energy of five stones entirely toward the glowing blue Space Stone.
This power had surpassed the energy of any single stone; this was the combined power of all six stones.
Kal-El's palm emitted a dazzling blue light, and the powerful energy was about to gush out.
As his thumb and middle finger pressed together, it was as if he had touched the switch for the stones' energy.
The massive energy surged even more violently.
"Snap!"
With a crisp snap of his fingers, the space in front of him suddenly began to pierce through and shatter.
A colorful portal slowly condensed and formed.
Kal-El slowly stepped forward.
"Wait, are you sure this is the portal leading to your universe?"
"Has anyone verified this? There might be some unexpected danger inside."
Tony cautiously stopped Kal-El.
Kal-El smiled.
"Rest assured, I can feel it. Over there is another Earth."
Tony's eye twitched as he looked at Kal-El suspiciously.
"You can rely on a feeling for this kind of thing?"
Looking at the spatial portal shimmering with colorful radiance before him, Kal-El stepped into it without the slightest hesitation.
Leaving behind a group of people staring at each other in blank dismay.
Chapter 147. Reunion
Boom—!
Kal-El, who entered the portal, could not feel the passage of time at all, only knowing that he was still in transit.
It felt like just an instant, yet also like many years had passed.
Kal-El suddenly appeared in a deserted desert.
Another desert; it seemed he really had an unbreakable bond with deserts.
Meanwhile, at El Manor in the Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York.
In the living room, Harley Quinn curiously examined the crystal stone on the table.
"This thing, to be honest, is very easy to misunderstand."
Diana was somewhat puzzled.
"What do you think it is?"
Harley Quinn merely smiled mysteriously.
"Is this so-called Wishing Stone actually useful?"
Diana picked up the Wishing Stone.
"At least it's a little useful."
"You want to use it to resurrect Superman; is this thing really that powerful?"
Diana just quietly looked at the Wishing Stone.
"I don't know, Kal-El once said it must not be used under any circumstances!"
"But I can't wait anymore; no matter what, I have to try."
Harley Quinn suddenly lay down on the sofa.
"If you ask me, you'd better not use it. In case it resurrects some undead Superman or zombie Superman, we're done for."
"Nobody can beat that kind of Superman; who knows what he'll turn the world into?"
"Isn't it good to let him stay in hell? If you're lonely, I can introduce you to a boyfriend—as many as you want!"
Diana glared at Harley Quinn.
"He is not dead; he just hasn't found a way back."
Diana said suddenly and earnestly.
Harley Quinn shrugged helplessly.
"It's been five years, he was sucked into a black hole, you should know what that means!"
Seeing that Diana remained unmoved, she spoke up to persuade her again.
"This thing requires a price to grant a wish; if I had power like yours, I wouldn't be like this."
"I will prove that we can live even better without men."
Diana didn't care about Harley Quinn's nagging.
"You don't understand, I can live without power, but I cannot live without him!"
Diana picked up the Wishing Stone with one hand and silently made a wish in her heart.
May Kal-El return safely!
She looked at the Wishing Stone in her hand, but it showed no reaction at all.
"Fine, let's just wait and see if this gadget can actually bring Superman back."
"I hope what comes back isn't some undead Superman."
Seeing that Diana's mood was obviously low, Harley Quinn suddenly stood up.
"Waiting like this is no way; why don't we go zero-dollar shopping."
Diana was slightly stunned.
"I have money, I don't need to."
"Besides, this is robbery, it's a criminal act!"
Harley Quinn hurriedly shook her head.
"I'm not robbing, it's just zero-dollar shopping, a special way of shopping."
"It looks like you need to go to prison to cool off!"
"Never mind then!"
...
On the street, Diana was dressed in a coat with a silk scarf around her neck.
The high heels on her feet stepped on the ground, producing a highly rhythmic sound.
With her hands in her pockets, her tall figure was eye-catching, forming a sharp contrast with Harley Quinnfollowing behind her.
"I hate women taller than me."
Harley Quinn puckered her lips and walked quickly to Diana's side.
She fiercely glared at a man nearby who was staring intently at Diana.
"Sexy?"
The muscular man hurriedly nodded with a lecherous look.
"Sexy, beautiful!"
Harley Quinn suddenly grabbed the man by the collar.
"If you look again, I'll tear off that disgusting thing of yours and shove it up your ass!"
Diana, at this moment, did not notice this scene.
She just stared blankly at a man in casual clothes across the street.
The man's facial features were distinct, and his handsome face carried a faint smile as he quietly looked at her.
"Kal-El, is that you?"
Diana couldn't believe it, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Kal-El walked slowly in front of Diana and opened his arms with a smile.
"Diana, it's me, I'm back!"
Hearing Kal-El's voice made Diana even more emotional; this was the voice she thought of day and night, and she definitely wouldn't mishear it.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and rushed towards Kal-El without hesitation.
"You're finally back, I've waited for you for so long!"
Kal-El held Diana tightly, letting her pour out her yearning in his arms.
Harley Quinn had just finished lecturing the man in front of her when she saw Diana ahead embracing someone.
"Uh, is this development going so fast?"
She suddenly didn't know what to say?
She slowly approached, only then seeing the man's appearance clearly.
Superman!
Huge waves churned in her heart.
The Wishing Stone could actually drag someone back from hell!
No, no, this Superman might not be the real Superman, perhaps some hellish undead wearing Superman's face.
Horror movies all played out like this!
As Kal-El was chatting with Diana, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the sneaky Harley Quinn in the distance.
Kal-El smiled slightly and looked at Diana.
"Why is she following?"
"She went to our house for a burglary and was caught red-handed by me."
Kal-El couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"For her, robbery is just an everyday occurrence."
"So I took her in and let her stay temporarily at the manor."
Kal-El and Diana came over, and Harley Quinn could no longer hide.
She suddenly chuckled.
"Uh, Superman, long time no see, I can't believe you died for a few years and could still come back!"
Kal-El frowned and corrected her.
"I'm not dead!"
"Also, if you don't know how to speak, shut up first!"
Harley Quinn immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
...
In El Manor, Kal-El and Diana were as sweet as newlyweds after a brief parting, snuggling together sweetly.
"I have to thank the Wishing Stone for bringing you back!"
Kal-El frowned slightly.
"You used the Wishing Stone?"
Diana's voice dropped.
"I just wanted to see you sooner!"
...
One day later, at the old site of Wayne Manor in New York, the Justice League.
Bruce Wayne stared blankly at Kal-El, and Barry Allenbeside him stopped chewing the snack in his mouth.
They turned their heads to look at Diana, who was wearing a smile.
"Is this true?"
Kal-El spread his hands slightly.
"100% genuine!"
"Oh, my god!"
"This is incredible!"
Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen hurried forward.
"Welcome back, we are happy for you."
Bruce stepped forward to hug Kal-El, patting him on the back with his palm.
Kal-El smiled.
"Bruce, this doesn't sound like you!"
At this moment, Clark, having received the news, finally rushed over.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, Clark's figure smashed in directly from outside.
The moment he saw Kal-El, Clark walked straight toward him.
Coming in front of Kal-El, he suddenly hugged Kal-El, unable to suppress his smile any longer.
"I'm glad you didn't leave us."
Soon, Aquaman Arthur and Cyborg Victor also rushed back.
...
"You mean you entered another world, another Earth?"
Kal-El nodded.
"That's right!"
Arthur suddenly raised his head and gulped down a full glass of wine.
"Tell me, is the Aquaman of that world as strong as me?"
"There is no Aquaman there, but there is a drunkard."
Kal-El chuckled.
"There are the Avengers there, and I rebuilt the Justice League there."
"Together we protect the world!"
Hearing Kal-El say this, several of them became interested in the world Kal-El described.
"Where is the portal? We also want to go and see how the world over there is different."
Chapter 148: Hero Gathering
Kal-El nodded without hesitation.
"Of course you can. They will welcome you, and you should also get to know the Avengers."
"Their abilities will truly open your eyes."
Hearing Kal-El's introduction, the few of them were somewhat curious.
"I look forward to our upcoming otherworldly journey."
...
A few days later, Kal-El brought a radiant Diana and several members of the Justice League to the familiar desert.
Kal-El gently waved his arm, and the illusion faded away.
A portal radiating colorful light appeared in place.
"Is this thing safe?"
Barry Allen looked at Kal-El.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of a split second."
With that, Kal-El stepped into it with Diana.
The figures of the two vanished instantly.
Clark did not hesitate and immediately followed.
As each of them stepped into the portal, its entrance was hidden once again.
Only a vast expanse of yellow desert remained in place, as if no one had ever appeared.
At this moment, in the Marvel Universe, inside the Justice League base in northern New York.
With a distortion of space, the figures of Kal-El and Dianastepped out from the portal.
Sharon Carter, who was guarding the portal, saw Kal-El appear and hurriedly notified Faora and the others.
Only after finishing all this did she quickly step forward.
"You're finally back. We almost thought you were lost inside."
"This is?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Wonder Woman Diana standing aside.
Diana didn't stand on ceremony, reached out, and greeted her.
"Hello, I am Diana, a member of the Justice League, and also Kal-El's girlfriend."
Sharon Carter glanced at Kal-El in some surprise and hurriedly shook hands with Diana.
"I always thought Superman didn't care for women!"
"..."
As Bruce Wayne and the others all arrived, Tony Stark and the rest of the Avengers were also fully gathered.
Kal-El introduced the members of the Justice League one by one, and everyone went to the entertainment area to chat together.
Kal-El and Diana each held a wine glass and sat on the sofa in the corner.
At this moment, Wanda came over.
She smiled and clinked glasses with Diana, the two of them chatting away happily about something.
Thor and Aquaman Arthur each held a large glass of beer.
Glug, glug!
In no time, the beer in their glasses was completely emptied.
"The first moment I saw you, I knew you had a good tolerance for alcohol."
Thor pointed at Arthur with one hand and laughed.
Tony Stark came before Bruce Wayne with a wine glass in hand.
"Hello, I am Tony Stark, a friend of Kal-El."
Batman reached out and shook hands lightly with Tony.
"Bruce Wayne, Superman's friend and comrade-in-arms."
"Well, I suppose I should say that too. After all, 'comrade-in-arms' sounds like a tighter bond."
Bruce Wayne was still somewhat unaccustomed to Tony's humor and chatterbox nature.
He simply nodded.
"I heard you have a set of Bat-Armor. We should exchange ideas about armor sometime."
"That couldn't be better!"
On the other side, The Flash Barry Allen was eating voraciously, and seeing Pietro picking up food nearby, he struck up a conversation.
"I heard you're very fast?"
Pietro turned his head to look at Barry Allen.
"Not bad!"
Barry smiled.
"Our superpowers are very similar. We should race sometime."
Pietro shrugged.
"Let's forget about that. I heard you're some kind of Lightning Lad; I can't outrun lightning!"
"No, not some Lightning Lad, it's The Flash Barry Allen!"
"I solemnly tell you, do not call me Lightning Lad!"
Barry Allen shook his head repeatedly, cutting Pietro off.
Pietro was very surprised by Barry's reaction.
"It's just a nickname."
"No, this nickname is totally lame, just like if someone called you 'Fast Man'—I don't think you'd be willing to accept it either."
"Of course I couldn't accept it, that nickname clearly has suggestive and insulting implications!"
...
Kal-El suddenly stood up and walked over to Strange, a gem emitting a green glow appearing in his hand.
Strange was stunned for a moment, flicked his wrist, and a magical artifact resembling the eye of agamotto was retrieved.
He carefully cast a spell to place the Time Stone into the artifact.
"Thank you!"
Kal-El shook his head.
"Don't mention it. It should be guarded by Kamar-Taj."
"Also, if an accident occurs that you can't resolve, you can notify me."
Strange nodded.
Faora and Arnold also walked over, the appearance of the two somewhat surprising Clark and the others.
"I remember they used to be Zod's subordinates and our opponents."
Clark, however, smiled.
"No matter who they used to be, now they are all members of the Justice League."
Batman Bruce saw the figures of Faora and Arnold appear and completely abandoned his previous thoughts.
He had once wanted to keep some trump cards to prevent Kryptonians from turning dark, but now it seemed that this was completely unrealistic.
Kal-El, Clark, Faora, Arnold.
Every single one of them was an incomparably powerful Kryptonian.
After his stash of Kryptonite was taken away by Kal-El, he basically completely lost the raw materials to manufacture Kryptonite weapons.
Tony Stark on the side had the same thought.
His anti-superman armor had limited power; dealing with just one Kryptonian was already strenuous enough.
Little did he expect that as the two-realm portal opened, there would be yet another powerful Superman.
This Superman was reportedly Kal-El's cousin.
His anti-superman armor wasn't even finished yet, yet Kryptonians were becoming more and more numerous.
Oh well, he might as well earnestly study his Mark armor instead!
At this moment, Nick Fury slowly walked in from outside the door.
Holding a glass of red wine, he leisurely sipped it.
He walked up to Kal-El and greeted the members of the Justice League.
Looking at the gorgeously dressed Diana beside Kal-El, he unceremoniously sat down on the sofa behind him.
"Red wine and beauties—you certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
He nodded toward Diana.
"I am Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Diana politely responded.
Kal-El took the wine glass handed over by Diana and took a sip.
"I can tell you're envious."
"If you tidied up your appearance just a little bit, I think there might be some ladies with unique tastes willing to have a romantic encounter with you."
Nick Fury's face darkened.
Tony, Natasha, and the others all exchanged knowing smiles.
Only Kal-El loved to tease Director Fury like this, and the crucial part was that Nick Fury didn't even get angry.
He liked Kal-El's attitude toward him precisely because it showed that Kal-El didn't treat him like an outsider.
"Cut to the chase. I want to know how you've arranged the Skrulls on Earth?"
Kal-El asked the question he had brought up last time.
Nick Fury leaned back, resting against the soft cushions.
"Captain Marvel is already searching for a habitable living planet for the Skrulls. Once found, she will have them board spaceships and relocate."
"You'd better hurry up and not let the Skrulls become a scourge to Earth."
"Rest assured, I will strictly supervise them, not to mention Captain Marvel is also helping."
He picked up a glass of wine from the table.
"I originally intended to notify you of some news this time, but now it doesn't seem like the right time."
Kal-El knew it wasn't anything good the moment he saw Nick Fury's expression.
"Then save it for next time!"
Nick Fury: "..."
Since Kal-El was obviously unwilling to listen, he'd just save it for next time.
Through a party, the hero factions from two different worlds thoroughly familiarized themselves with each other.
Seeing so many super-powered individuals across the two league organizations now, Nick Fury was even happier.
With so many people in the Justice League, they surely wouldn't just ignore things when trouble arose, right?
If the Avengers couldn't solve something, asking the Justice League for reinforcements wouldn't get rejected either, right?
Yeah, even if just for the sake of his face, Kal-El shouldn't refuse!
Chapter 149: Sign the Agreement?
The next day, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion.
Nick Fury led a group of people into the conference room.
Members of the Justice League and the Avengers took their respective seats.
Seeing General Ross inside, Kal-El turned his head and glanced at Nick Fury.
"I knew it wouldn't be anything good."
Kal-El walked straight into the conference room and sat down casually. Diana also took a seat beside him, with Natasha right on his right.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces of Bruce Wayne, Diana, and the others, General Ross suddenly frowned and looked at Nick Fury aside.
"Who are they?"
Nick Fury shook his head.
"General Ross, shouldn't you be asking me that? I'm not sure either."
Kal-El smiled and proactively took over the conversation.
"They belong to the Justice League, our newly recruited members."
General Ross stopped dwelling on the issue.
"Fine, I don't care what kind of superheroes they are again; let's get down to business first."
General Ross turned on the projector.
A set of images flashed across it.
The destruction caused by the Avengers and the Justice League while carrying out missions, and the world-shattering scene when the helicarrier was destroyed.
The black hole in the sky during the Chitauri Armyinvasion, and the nuclear missile launched by Hydra.
Scene after scene from the past was presented on the projector.
Without even waiting for General Ross to speak, Tonyasked aloud.
"General Ross, if you brought us here to make us admire our own heroic postures, then there's no need."
"As for that, I think those reporters would capture it much cooler and more eye-catching than what you filmed."
"Hahaha—!"
Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.
General Ross, however, did not laugh.
He turned to look at everyone with a solemn expression.
"For a long time, you have acted as the protectors of the world."
"You save the people and are called superheroes by the public."
"You protect the safety of the people and safeguard the Earth from being destroyed by supernatural forces."
"I must admit, you have solved many troubles for the government that could not be resolved."
"I don't think this needs special emphasis; we know very well what we are doing."
Kal-El said indifferently.
General Ross also agreed with Kal-El's statement.
"The state affirms your heroic actions, but is not very approving of your methods."
Steve Rogers suddenly spoke up.
"How so?"
"You possess powerful abilities far surpassing ordinary people, but you always wield this power recklessly, almost completely escaping state control."
General Ross's gaze paused specifically on Kal-El, Faora, and the others.
"Some people's power is too immense, like a walking nuclear bomb, posing a great threat to public safety."
"Many citizens worry that one day you will lose control."
"Power needs to be caged in a system, and force should also be restricted by law."
"What do you mean?"
Tony suddenly asked.
"The government believes that everyone, whether ordinary people or superpowered individuals, cannot stand above the state."
General Ross pressed his hands against the edge of the table.
"That is to say, all superpowered individuals need to accept state supervision to ensure they do not go out of control."
Bruce Banner looked up at General Ross.
"You still want to control us?"
General Ross shook his head.
"We are not going to control you. This is the consensus of most countries at the United Nations General Assembly; everyone believes that superpowered individuals should have certain restrictions."
He glanced around at everyone.
"The United Nations General Assembly has passed a supervision plan regarding superpowered individuals. You need to sign the agreement to ensure that your future actions are completely under the supervision of a United Nations special task force."
After these words were spoken, everyone completely understood General Ross's intention.
This was an attempt to bring all of them under the control of the United Nations.
The conference room was silent. Everyone was pondering the agreement proposed by General Ross.
Barton suddenly looked up at General Ross.
"What if we don't sign?"
General Ross stared straight at Hawkeye Barton.
"If you don't sign, the state hopes you can retire and not use your powers to cause destruction to the city."
Tony suddenly raised his hand.
"I cooperated with the government to establish the Department of Damage Control, and they have always done a good job with the cleanup work."
General Ross, however, shook his head.
"Tony, you must know that the Department of Damage Control cannot solve all problems."
"Recently, a guy like a vulture has been stealing weapons and equipment from the Department of Damage Controleverywhere for smuggling, which has already posed a huge threat."
Speaking of this, General Ross spoke again.
"I hope you can consider it carefully; this is the joint handling opinion of the United Nations."
"No need to consider it, the Justice League will not sign."
Kal-El's voice suddenly rang out.
General Ross's brow furrowed.
"Kal-El, you should think carefully. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Kal-El stood up directly and looked at General Ross.
"There won't be any consequences, and I'm not afraid of any consequences!"
"Now, please move aside; my girlfriend and I have a date."
Kal-El pushed General Ross aside with one hand and walked out with Diana.
Faora at the side stood up and stood in front of Ross, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.
"Kryptonians will not accept any human supervision, nor are they afraid of any threats."
"If you want a few more enemies, go ahead and take whatever measures you deem necessary."
With that, Faora walked out of the conference room with Wanda and the others with a look of disdain.
General Ross's face turned flush red.
"Damn it, arrogant aliens!"
Tony at the side stepped forward to comfort him.
"Kryptonians have always been very arrogant; you have to get used to their style of doing things."
General Ross came back to his senses and looked at Tonyand Captain America.
"Fortunately, there's you guys. I knew the Avengerswouldn't let us down."
Steve Rogers, however, shook his head.
"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you, General Ross; we don't plan to sign this agreement either!"
"What?"
General Ross's eyes widened, and he abruptly turned his head to look at Nick Fury.
Nick Fury spread his hands.
"Don't look at me. They never listen to me. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm just a mascot in front of them."
General Ross looked around the room; no one was willing to sign the agreement.
"Are you sure you want to go against the will of the state for a little freedom?"
Steve Rogers looked seriously at General Ross.
"We are not going to oppose the will of the state; we just don't want to become anyone's swords in their hands."
"We have the right to choose how to save people."
General Ross was completely speechless.
"Good luck!"
It wasn't until General Ross left that the group of people in the conference room burst into laughter.
"I have to say, they are somewhat whimsical."
"In our world, the government has always maintained cooperation with the Justice League and has never made any move to try to control the Justice League."
Bruce Wayne said.
"Perhaps they think we are all very easy to talk to."
Arthur suddenly downed a large mug of beer.
"If it were me, I would tell them that superheroes have tempers too."
At this moment, Diana and Kal-El were strolling around S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Is it okay to handle it this way?"
"What could be wrong with it?"
"After all, he represents the state."
Kal-El smiled.
"When we save the world, we don't distinguish between countries."
"Nor will I let anyone stand on my head and order me around."
Chapter 150: Can Gotham Not Do Without Batman?
Diana smiled slightly.
"You did the right thing. We only do what we believe is just, and we shouldn't hand over the standard of judging whether our actions are just to others."
Kal-El nodded, taking Diana's hand and placing it against his lips.
"You are always so understanding and able to comprehend my thoughts!"
At this moment, Tony's voice came from behind.
"I was wondering what you were up to, turns out you're on a date with your girlfriend."
Kal-El turned around helplessly.
"You always like to show up where you shouldn't be."
Tony smiled and looked at Diana.
"To be honest, I can't believe your girlfriend is a goddess."
Diana smiled and shook her head.
"Goddess is an overstatement, I am just an ordinary Amazon Warriors!"
"I thought Kal-El wasn't interested in women, but I was wrong, his standards are very high."
Diana looked at Kal-El with a smile at the corners of her eyes.
Arthur and the others also followed them out.
"Seriously, I want to punch that general right in his bark-like face."
Arthur said so. Thor, the God of Thunder beside him, also nodded immediately.
"I am the prince of Asgard, Thor the God of Thunder, yet they actually expect me to take orders from them. What an absolute joke."
Captain America Steve Rogers also spoke slowly.
"Actually, I don't mind taking orders, but after experiencing the helicarrier and the nuclear missile launched by Hydra, I can't trust them."
Natasha and Hawkeye beside them also nodded.
"Who would have thought that S.H.I.E.L.D. was once almost completely replaced by Hydra? If the United Nations oversight panel gets infiltrated by Hydra, it will definitely give us endless headaches."
At this moment, Thor looked at Bruce Banner beside him.
"Banner, don't you have anything to say? That guy is your girlfriend's father, and he doesn't seem to care about your opinion at all."
Bruce Banner remained expressionless.
"We're not close, and neither is my girlfriend!"
"..."
"If they really impose restrictions on you, what will you do?"
Bruce Wayne looked at Steve Rogers seriously, waiting for his answer.
Captain America fell silent for a moment.
"Maybe I'll just retire directly, or find a place to spend my old age. After all, considering my age, I'm quite an elderly person, and I really shouldn't be fighting and killing all day long."
"Haha!"
Several of them shook their heads and laughed.
The Flash Barry Allen suddenly proposed.
"If you can't stay here anymore, perhaps you can head to our world."
"Trust me, it's just as beautiful there, and no country will come looking for trouble with you."
Several of them nodded.
"That sounds nice, perhaps we'll consider it."
General Ross, returning from S.H.I.E.L.D., headed straight to the White House.
Inside the President's office, he reported to the President on the attitudes of the Avengers and the Justice Leagueregarding the oversight accords.
"Mr. President, they are dismissive of it. You can tell that they are completely unwilling to be subject to any restrictions."
"Dammit, these arrogant superpowered beings."
"We should take measures to restrict them from using their super-powered abilities recklessly."
"They must retire, let them go home and grow corn!"
Several suited advisors on the side shook their heads, however.
A beautiful woman tapped away at the keyboard in front of her incessantly, then spoke helplessly.
"Mr. President, I regret to inform you."
"Once we have a fierce conflict with the superpowered beings, not to mention the Avengers, the Justice Leaguemight fight back."
"Judging from the strength comparison and data analysis of both sides, our odds of winning are less than thirty percent."
The President tapped the table.
"Don't forget, we still have nuclear missiles."
The woman just smiled.
"Mr. President, the members of the Justice League can send nuclear missiles into space in the shortest time possible, not to mention that the nuclear missiles launched by Hydra didn't cause any impact on them at all."
Her fingers tapped gently on the keyboard, and a satellite-recorded video played on the projection.
"That's the nuclear missile launched by Hydra?"
"Yes!"
Two nuclear missiles were seen rushing rapidly into space, lifted by Faora and Arnold, and then exploding with a roar.
The fiery glow of the explosion completely swallowed Faora and Arnold's figures.
But after the fiery glow dissipated, they returned to Earth from the center of the explosion completely unharmed.
"Do you understand, Mr. President?"
"Using nuclear missiles against them won't cause them any harm, and the only consequence will be the President stepping down."
The US President frowned.
"Dammit, how can there be such overpowered superpowered beings in the world?"
"It seems we need to think of another way."
"The government needs its own superpowered warriors."
General Ross on the side suddenly spoke.
"Here we go again, General Ross. Abomination was created by you, and he almost tore apart the entire New York."
"Are you asking us to create another batch of demons like Abomination? They will tear me, the President, into pieces."
"General Ross, this joke is not funny at all."
"I still suggest cooperating with them. Leave these matters to the World Security Council, and let Nick Furycommunicate with them!"
General Ross didn't give up and spoke again.
"I admit that my past plan failed, but we can adopt other methods to study super-powered strength, which doesn't mean we have to be enemies with them."
"We can find a group of top scientists in the fields of biotechnology or genetics and let them focus on researching super-powered strength."
He stood in front of the President, his eyes full of seriousness.
"I believe that as long as we do it, we will definitely achieve results."
Perhaps persuaded by General Ross, the President reluctantly agreed.
"Since you have confidence, go execute it. I will approve a budget for you to research super-powered strength."
...
Although the communication with General Ross ended on a bad note, the members of the Avengers and the Justice League still worked, lived, and carried out missions as usual.
They completely didn't take the oversight accords to heart.
And the United Nations didn't say anything more, as if defaulting the accords to be void.
"Seriously, this place doesn't seem to have much difference from ours."
"Same America, same architectural style."
"I can hardly feel that I've come to another world."
Barry Allen said somewhat disappointedly.
"There are still differences."
Arthur on the side suddenly spoke.
"What's different?"
"There is no Atlantis, no Amazon, and certainly no Gothamhere."
"That's true!"
Speaking of this, the smile on Batman's face slowly disappeared.
"I need to go back as soon as possible!"
Barry and Arthur on the side looked at him in surprise.
"Stop joking, we haven't strolled around here properly yet."
"I'm serious. Gotham cannot do without Batman, otherwise I don't know what it will turn into."
Bruce Wayne walked towards the Justice League without looking back; he was going to return to the DC world through the teleportation portal there.
Aquaman Arthur looked at Bruce's back.
"If Bruce were to run for mayor of Gotham, I would definitely vote for him."
Barry and Victor both nodded as well.
"Gotham is not just a prison for those criminals, it has almost become his prison as well."
"This city locked the criminals and Batman inside together."
