The harsh reality stunned everyone, but the final outcome wasn't actually as hopeless as it seemed.

Although we don't know what bug caused Doomsday to evade the absolute lethality of Kryptonite, its ability to be immune to secondary damage also failed to work.

After repeated cycles of death and resurrection, Doomsday underwent an evolution that defied its instincts.

It abandoned the pursuit of powerful evolution and devoted all its energy to fighting the threat of Kryptonite. Finally, after thousands of death cycles, it successfully became immune to the damage from Kryptonite.

Doomsday its tentacles to pull Kryptonite Spear from its body, and it looked around at the Kryptonian and Superhero with hundreds of eyes.

"Roar--!!"

The deep roar contained a pure bloodlust, but it unknowingly turned into maniacal laughter.

Doomsday truly possesses a terrifying wisdom; in the repeated cycles of death, this wisdom is not only not extinguished, but instead gains unprecedented significance.

"Ah, I originally wanted to call myself Luthor, but I'm definitely not him, so I can't call myself that. It's more appropriate for you guys to call me Doomsday."

"Therefore, I am Doomsday."

Doomsday gave a seemingly elegant bow, then smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Elegant manners and gentle words, combined with Luthor's neurotic tone and his constantly blinking eyes, evoke a sense of terror.

Only Kong remained unfazed, calmly stating, "Be careful. It's deliberately maintaining its appearance within the Uncanny Valley; it must have some special purpose."

Doomsday laughed, "You guessed right, but I don't need to use it!"

Snap!

Batman flew away, his steel armor Shattering into countless fragments.

Bang!

Before Kong's Laser cannon could fully transform, it was Doomsday, scattering fragments that flew into the distance.

Clang! Bang!

Wonder Woman swung her sword twice at Doomsday, blocking both attacks. Then, Doomsday kicked her hard in the stomach, bypassing her shield, sending her crashing into the building behind her like a bowling ball.

This time, Wonder Woman's combat experience didn't help her; Doomsday somehow Department Head a new leg from his crotch and kicked her from an impossible angle.

It's truly impossible to guard against.

However, Doomsday's tactic didn't work well against Faora, as the Kryptonian were no slower than Doomsday, and her reaction speed was even faster.

Doomsday's new arm was still growing when it was chopped off by Faora with a chop to the neck, wasting energy and bodily matter.

But as Doomsday abandoned its fancy fighting style and started throwing punches relentlessly, Faora couldn't withstand it anymore.

Boom! Boom!

Faora and Apollo, who rushed to the rescue, were almost simultaneously Doomsday, crashing uncontrollably into the base of the crumbling building and buried under tons of debris.

Then, Doomsday and Superman charged out, engaged in battle.

Superman's strength surpassed Doomsday's, but Doomsday was more flexible, resulting in a close fight where neither could defeat the other.

The buildings surrounding the battlefield Bad Luck the most; the core area of Gotham, which Wayne Group had built at great expense, quickly became a concrete wasteland.

Superman, unable to defeat Doomsday with sheer power, once again unleashed his Heat Vision, Doomsday unexpectedly, but only producing wisps of smoke.

Doomsday pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Have you forgotten that I'm immune to Heat Vision?"

"Besides, I can also use Heat Vision!"

Doomsday's hundreds of eyes simultaneously turned red, and then hundreds of blazing red rays shot out, knocking the stunned Superman unconscious.

"If we compare eyesight, all of you Kryptonian combined wouldn't be a match for me!"

"The strongest Superhero on Earth, a god among men, the invincible Superman, has been defeated by me!"

"No one in this world is my match, none!"

With a soft thud, a Kryptonite Spear descended from the sky, piercing Doomsday's left shoulder and exiting through its right hip, pinning it to the ground.

[Electromagnetic Control]

Under the control of Electromagnetic Force, the second, third, and fourth Kryptonite Spear pierced Doomsday's body from different directions.

Afterwards, more steel bars flew out from the ruins, attempting to pierce Doomsday's body like the Kryptonite Spear, but after colliding and creating dazzling sparks, they all turned into shattered iron slag.

Shazo nodded. "Yeah, Kryptonite's armor penetration still works, so you're not perfect after all."

Tentacles sprouted from Doomsday's back, pulled out the four Kryptonite Spear, snapped them off, and flung them away with all their might.

Then it looked at Shazo and said viciously, "It's not perfect, but I am still the invincible being on Earth. Killing you is easy!"

He suddenly crouched down, his calves exerting force, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Shazo, unleashing a barrage of punches—no, four punches—like a dense, impenetrable rain.

Shazo smiled calmly, placing his hands in front of him like two large Main Gate blocking Doomsday's fierce fist.

This is the fighting habit of all Shazo when facing powerful enemies: first observe the enemy's attack methods, determine the enemy's attack habits, and then formulate a method to defeat them.

The Doomsday of Wisdom lacked the experience of Daoism, but it instinctively sensed danger and felt a growing sense of threat from Shazo.

It let out a piercing howl, its body flashing like lightning, leaving Afterimage in the blink of an eye, using high-speed movement and unexpected turns to confuse Shazo's perception.

What's even more horrifying is that eight tentacles sprouted from Doomsday's back, with sharp bone spikes at the ends—the kind of terrifying weapons capable of piercing through Superman's body.

Eight tentacles, like streaks of black Inazuma, frantically sliced through the air, providing cover for Doomsday to circle behind Shazo.

Monster Doomsday bent his knees, pulled back his fist, and slammed his fist forward with a powerful punch.

In the blink of an eye, Doomsday's all-out attack in the one-on-one battle was completed in one fell swoop.

Facing the arcing attack of Doomsday's eight tentacles, as well as a powerful strike from behind, Shazo calmly sidestepped, bent over, raised his leg, leaned back, and jumped and spun, skillfully dodging all the attacks just before they made contact with his body.

It was as if he had foreseen this all along, and everything was under his control.

Doomsday's tentacle attack was one thing, but when its all-out punch missed, it could no longer control its body.

Just as a bowstring released into the air causes the entire bow to spring out, Doomsday, following the direction of the missed punch, involuntarily charged forward.

As Doomsday swept past Shazo, he clenched his fists and delivered a powerful elbow strike.

Bang! Crack! Crack!

Doomsday took the full force of the blow; the sound of its bones shattering echoed like firecrackers, and half of its body suddenly became as soft as a water sac.

While his Talent for withstanding Kryptonian punches was undeniable, it didn't grant him immunity to Shazo's powerful, aura-driven strikes.

This aligns perfectly with his prediction: all immunity is not true immunity, but merely a very high limit for tolerating damage.

True immunity is a conceptual existence. For example, the Gum-Gum Fruit completely overcomes the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, without considering the reality that increased voltage can turn rubber into a conductor.

Doomsday grinned maliciously, enduring his fatal injuries, and nimbly flipped himself up, charging at Shazo again, the two locked in combat once more.

Doomsday, with its four arms and eight tentacles, forcefully outnumbered its opponents, leaving Shazo constantly flustered.

With his agility and powerful attacks, Shazo could severely injure Doomsday and make him cough up blood with every strike.

The two transformed into two afterimages, attacking each other while moving at high speed, using evasion instead of defense.

Countless Afterimage appeared in every corner of the sky, then quickly disappeared.

Their incredibly fast movement speed made it impossible to observe each other in time with the naked eye alone, yet their battle pace only accelerated as the fight progressed.

Shazo developed powerful perception abilities through his ability to sense Qi, and with the addition of the thought of the Doomsday obtained through the [Mantra], he was naturally able to deal with it with ease.

Doomsday possessed hundreds of eyes, much like the compound eyes of a dragonfly, using sheer numbers to compensate for its slow reaction time.

But such a battle is too dangerous. As the speed continues to increase, both sides are constantly approaching a loss of control, and could suffer a crushing defeat at any moment due to a small mistake.

Doomsday first unleashed a powerful burst of energy, attempting to force Shazo far back and escape its disadvantageous position in this high-speed combat mode.

Shazo also unleashed his own energy, completely ending the high-speed battle.

The energies and qi of the two individuals collided, and a white shockwave swept across the battlefield. Within a kilometer, all the buildings that had not yet collapsed either crumbled on the spot or were reduced to mere frames.

At the core of the full collision of their energies, the previously stable space paused, and two fierce energy storms squeezed each other, neither willing to back down, and an invisible sound of something breaking rang out in the air.

Click!

Terrifying white cracks appeared out of nowhere, but from any angle, they looked exactly the same, with no difference in size or angle.

Both Shazo Zuo and Doomsday paled upon seeing the white crack and retreated frantically as if avoiding a venomous snake.

The two even felt they weren't fast enough, and in perfect unison, they launched an attack on each other.

Boom!!

Energy and gas collided and exploded into a storm, pushing Shazo and Doomsday back a large step, far away from the white crack.

"You weren't exaggerating! You really are stronger than Superman!" Doomsday said, both wary and unable to hide his excitement.

"You're not bad either, you monster!" Shazo's fighting spirit was now aroused.

The DC Universe feels too oppressive. Shazo, this madman, is unknowingly influenced by the world and embarks on a path of scheming, building power, and backstabbing.

He clearly felt extremely depressed because of this, but he gradually got used to the situation, at most going crazy occasionally.

It wasn't until today, when he encountered the world-defying, Doomsday, that Shazo finally felt the long-lost thrill in the fierce battle, and his mind and body felt completely refreshed.

He grinned and said, "That's so much fun! Let's have another one!"

Shazo vanished in Afterimage, leaving only a fleeting afterimage!

Doomsday was startled; Shazo's speed had actually increased again.

Its hundreds of eyes stared wide-eyed, looking in all 360 degrees simultaneously, yet it still couldn't catch Shazo's movement trajectory, only seeing a partial Afterimage.

Suddenly, an energy storm swept in from all directions, and Doomsday completely lost sight of Shazo; even his Afterimage vanished.

A violent storm swept across the battlefield, even swirling the clouds in the sky into spirals. Doomsday instinctively raised its four arms to shield itself in front of and behind it, protecting the vital parts of its head.

The next moment, Doomsday's massive body trembled, swaying like a willow tree in a storm.

This terrifying storm consisted of punches filled with explosive power, occasionally accompanied by knee strikes and elbow strikes, but absolutely no kicks.

The barrage of attacks rained down on Doomsday, causing it to tremble violently, its eyes bursting open in rapid succession, and blood gushing from its facial features.

Shazo's laughter was like thunder. "Hahahaha, as expected, Doomsday's immortality isn't just a concept, but relies on its rapid energy regeneration!"

"As long as I wear you down fast enough, I can kill you, you monster!"

Shazo's words sent a chill Doomsday's spine. It didn't know if what the other person said was true, but the feeling of weakness in its body was real, and the instinctive fear was just as real.

With almost all of its hundreds of eyes destroyed, Doomsday's fear intensified, and it finally couldn't hold back any longer, unleashing the energy within its body.

"Aww--!"

"The energy that was detonated out of desperation, accompanied by Doomsday's low roar, created an energy barrier that shut everything out."

The storm-like attack vanished, but Shazo still hadn't appeared in its sights; the unknown is always the most terrifying thing.

Where is it? Where exactly is it?

Doomsday's head spun rapidly, but it couldn't see anything in any of the six directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down!

Fear prevented Doomsday from staying in one place; it began to run at high speed, using the ruins and wreckage of buildings to hide itself.

At the same time, it rapidly heals the eyes on the body and continuously enhances the ability to observe the surroundings.

Doomsday has discovered that Superman, Faora, Apollo, Batman, Superhero Wonder Woman, and Kong are forming a large circle, seemingly within the area where he and Shazo will fight.

A thought struck it, and suddenly it swayed and rushed towards Batman.

Driven by instinct and intelligence, Doomsday realized that it could not be confined to the predetermined battlefield by its opponent. Only by breaking through could it escape its predicament and even achieve victory.

Just as Doomsday used the building's shadow to sneak around for a while, then quickly left the building's ruins and rushed towards Batman, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came from above its head.

Shazo seemed to teleport to the top of Doomsday's head; he had even assumed a ready stance, raising his arms and extending his legs to launch a powerful shot.

And the ball he was going to kick was Doomsday's bumpy skull.
