Beckett: Give Me Your Hand
Fear...
Powerless...
The Superman who fell into darkness made Diana truly understand for the first time what the term "Kryptonian" meant.
The face that had once fought alongside her now seemed utterly unfamiliar. Clark's upturned lips made it increasingly difficult for Diana to breathe.
"You... you still remember..."
Clark was increasingly pleased with Diana's barely suppressed embarrassment, which she managed to squeeze out through gritted teeth.
"Certainly."
Of course he still remembers his memories from his previous life.
"Then you should... remember your... duties... Clark ..." Diana struggled incessantly, trying to break free from Clark's restraints, but in the end it was all in vain.
The man's right arm was like a divine cage, locking her firmly in place.
He wanted to watch her suffocate to death.
"Clark?"
"No, no, no, my name is Carl El."
A cruel smile appeared on Clark's lips, and visible black mist rose from beneath his feet.
Snap!
Inside the Gate of Apocalypse high in the sky above Gotham, a crisp the Snap rang out.
The Battle Suit, made using Kryptonian technology, climbed onto Clark's body after the black mist dissipated.
The deep blue that represented the name "Clark" had now been dyed a grayish-black, but the cloak flowing behind his shoulders remained vibrant, as red as blood.
The large "S" on his chest, the symbol of Superman, was clearly also stained black by the rising black mist.
"What did you say...?"
Diana stared in disbelief, her eyes bloodshot from lack of oxygen.
"Darkseid is right. Since the humans who rule this world don't like me, why should I be Clark?"
The cold glint in Clark's grey eyes chilled Diana to the bone.
"Back then, it was you who wanted me dead."
"Later, it was you who resurrected me."
"I am not a tool to be slaughtered, do you understand?"
Clark calmly described the constantly distorting images in his mind.
On that rainy night, a man in Batman armor grabbed his collar and asked him if he would bleed.
"No... Clark... we—"
Call out!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Barry Allen, having successfully completed his run-up from thousands of miles away, arrived in Gotham at the planned time.
Barry Allen was about to throw the Flash boomerang he had just conjured when he couldn't help but glance back at the battlefield.
That one glance sent a shiver down his spine.
Clark, who had Diana choked with one hand, was actually looking at him?!
What Shocker Barry Allen was...
Clark's gaze was already faintly reddening as he looked at him...
[******!!!!!!!]
Boom!!!!!!
The earth-shattering explosion drew everyone's attention. Barry Allen, wielding the Flash boomerang, was struck directly by two Heat Vision, and the Speed Force he had gathered vanished into nothingness in an instant!
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang!!!
Barry Allen, who seemed to have lost all feeling in his body, rolled five or six times on the ground, his eyes wide and his face filled with disbelief.
"No! Barry!!!"
As the key to resurrecting Beckett, Barry Allen, who possesses the Speed Force, can be considered Mera's last hope.
Ignoring the need to reveal his location, he summoned warm water with his Golden Trident, which instantly enveloped Barry Allen's body.
"...Bar... Barry ..."
Diana, her eyes gradually turning white and her eyelids growing heavier, murmured unwillingly.
"Go to hell."
After using his Heat Vision to dissipate the Speed Force on Barry Allen, Clark immediately exerted force with his right hand, snapping Diana's neck in an instant...
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Diana, who had completely lost her life, was tossed aside by Clark like a tattered sack.
"Has the rat hiding in the sewers finally shown itself?" After dealing with yet another troublesome Diana, Clark finally turned his attention to the nervous Mera.
Holding Golden Trident and wearing golden armor.
"Impossible!"
"How is this possible...?"
"Why, why can you see me...?"
Barry Allen finally recovered from the excruciating pain, and the Flash boomerang he had painstakingly conjured in his hand had vanished.
"Because you're too slow."
With a light leap, Clark floated in front of Mera and Barry Allen.
Snap!
Snap!
A slap from Superman descended in an instant.
Mera and Barry Allen, struck by the slap, were instantly swallowed by the ruins of Gotham, amidst billowing smoke and dust...
"?!" Barry Allen gasped in pain. Clark's words were undoubtedly a challenge to his dignity as a speedster.
"I've said it before, I have no weaknesses."
"Whether it's kryptonite, speed, or strength."
Clark bent down and picked up the Kryptonite spear that had been broken off by the black mist. In front of Mera and Barry Allen, he personally crushed it into a pile of fluorescent green powder.
"Barry! Run!"
"Get out of here!"
"Now!"
Mera plunged the Golden Trident into the ground, Mera longer caring about the city that still relied on the water walls for survival.
As the ancient and profound incantation was chanted, the power of the Earth's oceans instantly flowed into Mera's limbs and bones!
She's going to fight this hard.
For the future of the planet, and for Beckett.
"Mera?!"
"Your Speed Force is the only key that can revive Beckett!"
"Run! Get out of here!"
Boom!!!!
No sooner had Mera finished speaking than Gotham City, which should have been an inland city, was instantly buried by the ocean!
The relentless high-pressure water jets gushed forth from the cracked ground, all rushing toward Clark's location!
"I see!"
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Barry Allen had just gathered his Speed Force when Clark broke free of the water's restraints and arrived at Mera's side immediately!
With the invincible Iron Fist close at hand, if it weren't for the protection of her golden armor, Mera would probably have already perished under this punch.
A sweeping Heat Vision caused Barry Allen, who had just gathered his Speed Force, to fail at the start!
"Go to hell."
The eager Heat Vision were already fixed on Mera, who lay motionless on the ground. The next second, however, a strange movement suddenly came from the Gate of Apocalypse above Gotham.
Looking back.
The massive Kryptonian spaceship gradually lost its cloaking ability and floated directly above the three Mother Box.
A bright blue robot cat with eight extra-long Mechanical Arm extended from its back and was fixed to the surface of the Kryptonian spaceship. Its chubby little hands, close to the Mother Box, were holding two... flints?
"Woz?!"
Crack!
From the very beginning, Woz had planned to use Merabari Allen and others to distract the enemy, and without hesitation, he struck the flint he had made based on the Speed Force's energy spectrum analysis table.
Sizzle!!
The next second, the Kryptonian spaceship was destroyed by Heat Vision!
Boom!!!
"Woz!!!"
The rising flames dyed the dim horizon red, Mera, lying motionless on the ground, stared blankly at the mushroom cloud blooming in the sky...
"Next, it's your turn."
Clark smiled dismissively.
Suddenly, an extremely violent and unstable energy fluctuation came from the sky above Gotham.
"?!"
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!!
The sound of a rapidly beating heart, followed by the explosion of Kryptonian spaceship, echoed through the sky!
People all over the world are looking up at the sky, searching for the specific source of the strange noise.
A beam of crimson-gold light, like a long spear, cleaved the dim skyline in two!
Snap...
The man who changed the color of half the sky landed slowly.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, a surging, turbulent atmosphere.
"Be... Beckett?" Mera, covered in dust and dirt, still had traces of blood on her lips.
The resurrected man still had that incomparably cold expression, his arrogant gaze sweeping over everything around him, his internal energy constantly rising every second.
Give me your hand.
Beckett, his face cold, reached out to Mera, who was lying on the ground, while the woman smiled radiantly.
"Welcome back, Beckett."
