At this moment, Lex Luthor still didn't know he was being live-streamed, and people from both Worlds saw his schemes.
"I've already called the police for Superman. This Luthor is too evil! He actually kidnapped Superman's mother to threaten him," a loyal Superman fan commented in the comments section.
"What's the use of calling the police!"
"Call the police? That's hilarious. Superman can only wait to be taken down by Batman."
"This person looks so despicable. I hope my idol Superwoman appears soon! It seems this Superman and Superwoman are quite similar in some aspects."
...
The comments erupted, with voices supporting and opposing Superman constantly appearing.
However, very few people supported Luthor's actions.
In the footage, Clark still maintained a bowed posture, and Luthor looked at him smugly.
Just then, his private jet flew to the rooftop to pick him up.
Luthor glanced at his watch. "Time is running out. If I don't see that bat's head within an hour, your mother will be in danger. The time bomb next to her has already started counting down."
With that, he turned and stepped onto the jet.
Luthor planned to make a backup plan. If Batman couldn't defeat Superman, he would immediately initiate the plan to resurrect Doomsday, releasing this Kryptonian legendary monster to deal with Superman.
Tony was monitoring the situation in the live stream while communicating with Jarvis.
Jarvis was helping him collect and answer various questions he had about this World.
"Is Gotham City really this chaotic?" Tony exclaimed, looking at the information Jarvis had collected. "Besides Miss Selina the Catwoman, Gotham actually has a mysterious Batman. And the richest man in Gotham is Bruce Wayne. He couldn't be the legendary Batman, could he!"
He made a simple deduction and association based on the known information.
"Jarvis, quickly help me investigate this Bruce Wayne and information related to Batman. I always feel there's some connection between the two."
"No need to investigate, Bruce is Batman, the protagonist of this big battle," Han Qiuya's super hearing picked up Tony's quiet conversation with Jarvis.
"Is that so? He's a bit like me! But he definitely can't beat my Iron Man with his bat-gear," Tony said confidently.
"Are we going to help anyone?" Selina asked curiously.
"I remember Superman damaged your drone last time," Wonder Woman Diana reminded.
"If the Queen makes a move, she can take care of both of them at once," Faora believed Han Qiuya could easily handle both.
The few of them discussed animatedly.
At this moment, the live stream switched to Gotham City in the rain.
Batman stood on top of a tall building, the heavy rain pattering on his armor. He gazed at the sky, waiting for Superman's arrival.
Just then, a taxi screeched to a halt on the street, Lois's golden hair disheveled from running.
Lois opened the car door, "Driver, quickly to the Daily Planet!"
"Lois."
Just then, Superman's voice sounded behind her. Lois turned around.
"I have to go to Gotham and convince him to help me," Clark said, his voice filled with helplessness.
"Who?" Lois asked, confused.
"Batman Bruce. If I can't convince him, he'll have to die," Clark said softly, a pained expression on his face.
"Clark..." Lois panted, trying to say something but trailing off.
"No one in this World can be kind forever."
The sadness in Clark's eyes almost overflowed. His kind heart was already mourning for Bruce.
After leaving this sentence, he turned and flew into the night sky, disappearing from Lois's sight.
Lois watched him leave, her heart filled with worry and unease. She had to do something...
A flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating Gotham City with flickering light.
Superman's figure quickly appeared above Batman. He descended rapidly, looking anxious and troubled.
Superman landed quickly, his expression anxious.
"Good, you're finally here. I'm right here!" Batman said with a sneer.
"Bruce, please don't be like this!" Superman didn't want to fight, his tone pleading. Unless absolutely necessary, he really couldn't bear to kill Batman. Now he just wanted to beg Bruce for help.
Batman slowly retreated, intending to lead Superman into the trap he had set. He couldn't listen to Superman now, his attention focused solely on the battle.
Seeing this, Superman anxiously followed Batman, while trying to persuade him: "I was wrong, you have to listen to me, it's Luthor..."
Zzz—!
Just then, a high-frequency sound wave suddenly emanated from machines on both sides, hitting Superman hard.
"Ah!"
Superman cried out in pain, the massive impact blurring his vision.
Before he could finish, Superman walked into Batman's trap and was hit by the sound wave attack. The air around Superman became blurry.
Batman saw this and sneered with a twisted mouth.
Superman gritted his teeth, enduring the pain to grab the manhole cover at his feet. He forcefully broke it in half with both hands and used the manhole cover to directly smash the sound wave machines on both sides. The sound wave finally stopped.
"You don't understand, time is running out!" Superman said urgently, striding towards Batman. The time bomb next to his mother was about to explode, and he had to act.
"I understand!" He and Superman were not talking about the same thing.
Batman also took a step, walking forcefully towards Superman.
The two stood face to face, only inches apart.
"You understand nothing." Superman's heart raced, and he suddenly pushed Batman far away. Just then, the heavy machine guns Batman had previously set up around them suddenly fired in unison, a barrage of bullets assailing Superman. Superman instinctively raised his hands to block, but he quickly hovered in the air, his eyes emitting heat vision, instantly destroying the surrounding machine guns.
Then, Superman rushed over quickly and pushed Batman flying far away. Batman's body arced through the air, falling heavily to the ground.
Just as Batman struggled to stand up, Superman had already arrived in front of him, swooping down and directly lifting him in front of him, flying rapidly upwards into the sky.
The two cut through the night sky, soon arriving at the top of a tall building.
Superman threw Batman heavily onto the rooftop.
Batman lay on the ground, breathing heavily, then slowly stood up, his face resolute.
"Stop fighting back! If I wanted to get serious, you'd already be dead!" Superman yelled.
In the distance, Han Qiuya and the others were somewhat speechless.
"Clark is too slow. Is this for plot reasons? With so many opportunities to speak, why don't you get to the point quickly?" Han Qiuya complained inwardly.
The viewers from both Worlds in the live stream were also very anxious.
Batman ignored Superman's warning, quickly pulled out a special smoke bomb from his utility belt, and threw it between them.
Smoke instantly spread, obscuring vision. Superman teleported forward, but thick smoke surrounded him, making him temporarily lose track of Batman.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out. Batman took the opportunity to fire, launching a bullet containing Kryptonite powder at Superman.
"I'm going to join the fun, Faora, follow!" Han Qiuya, seeing this from afar, quickly got up and flew towards the scene with a "whoosh!".
