Pseudo Super Saiyan

[Big Foot Kickoff]

Shazo raised his right foot high behind him, then tore through the air at high speed with a sharp roar, carrying a violent force as he kicked down towards Doomsday's head.

The distance was simply too close. Even if Doomsday heard the commotion, looked up sharply, and saw Shazo's attack, it wouldn't have time to dodge.

Taken Doomsday raised its four arms, crossing them in pairs to form a grid to block the attack, attempting to withstand the axe-like kick with a stable triangular structure.

However, no rule can overcome sheer force.

When Shazo's powerful kick struck Doomsday's four arms, the sound that erupted was not a dull thud, but a crisp cracking sound of bones breaking.

Shazo kicked Doomsday's four arms, but the kick still had enough power to strike its head.

Boom!

This time, a proper roar was heard. The impact between the instep and the skull generated a powerful shockwave that traveled through Doomsday's body to its feet, creating a crater several meters deep beneath them.

Doomsday, and a jet of blood shot out from his mouth, nose, and ears at the same time.

The immense force traveled down the body to the feet, then rebounded back up, spreading from the legs to the entire body. This time, there was no way to avoid it, damaging almost all the organs, muscles, and bones in the body, and tearing countless large and small lacerations in the skin.

Boom!!

The second roar erupted from beneath Doomsday's feet, the crater that had been several meters deep suddenly expanded, the earth abruptly sank and cracked, spewing out countless plumes of dust from the fissures.

A crater 300 meters in diameter appeared at the foot of Doomsday, and the supposedly immortal monster was curled up in the center of the crater, panting and bleeding.

Superman's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. For the first time, he realized that he could be killed, and that there were two of them capable of doing so.

If it's just about damaging the ground, Superman could easily create a crater over a kilometer in diameter with a single punch or kick.

But it's impossible for that power to penetrate Doomsday's body and cause such massive destruction.

To be precise, even Superman's all-out attack couldn't penetrate Doomsday's body; it was already absorbed by it.

The Doomsday that Superman fought back then was nowhere near as powerful as the Doomsday today.

Superman felt intensely frustrated.

Despite his constant talk of understanding, dedication, and self-interest, he possesses absolute confidence and extreme pride in his invincible power.

That unpleasant "artsy" style is actually just a kind of affected whining that arises from a feeling of invincibility and an inability to adapt to the loneliness at the top.

Like many intellectuals, he was just bored and had nothing better to do.

If you let them go hungry for nine meals, they'll all behave.

Superman is the same. He needs to be taught a lesson, preferably beaten up, so that he feels the threat of death and knows the preciousness of life, and then he will stop causing trouble.

After experiencing the despair of being killed by Doomsday and then being resurrected, Superman seemed much more normal, and his emotions became stable.

Being a "literary youth" is a disease, it needs treatment!

If Superman was frightened, then Wonder Woman, Kong, and Batman must have been even more shocked.

Batman, in particular, has such a furrowed brow that it could trap a fly.

No matter who it is, having such a freak neighbor in the same city, whose beliefs clash with yours, is extremely distressing.

However, what Shazo didn't expect was that after learning his lesson, the matured Batman became incredibly bold, and he dared to scheme against Shazo.

Seeing that Shazo was able to overpower Doomsday, Batman couldn't help but think a lot.

For example: If Shazo had acted sooner, wouldn't Gotham have saved so many lives today?

If Shazo had no selfish motives and had taken the initiative, he could have easily dealt with Lex Luthor and the Congress much sooner.

Solve Superman's psychological problems.

[The past cannot be relived, so I must begin building the "Shazo File" from this moment on.]

[This guy definitely can't be labeled with text, so what icon should we use? A big tree?]

Okay, let's use the big tree!

Seeing Shazo suppress Doomsday, the two Kryptonian were second only to Superman in shock, because their strength was also second only to Superman's.

Faora was alright; she had long admired Shazo, and at this moment, she was only slightly more influenced by her admiration for the strong.

Sergeant Apollo, on the other hand, was completely different; he was deeply shaken.

Prior to this, his resentment towards Shazo was entirely based on his own strength.

In Apollo's eyes, Shazo was nothing more than a human from Earth, an ant-like being, someone he could crush with a little finger. What was there for him to respect?

Even after getting to know Shazo better, he remained stubborn and prejudiced, believing it was just a difference between the little finger and the thumb.

But now it seems that Shazo should be the one who could kill him with a single finger.

The complete reversal of power made Apollo very uncomfortable, and he developed a strong sense of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, even the seemingly powerful Shazo wasn't having an easy time.

His all-out kick failed to shatter Doomsday's skull, resulting in a full recoil that shattered all the bones in his foot, and even his calf, knee, and thigh were not spared.

But Shazo was even more excited.

[This is the feeling, this excruciating pain, this incredibly satisfying blow—this is the kind of battle I've always wanted.]

[The brutal, visceral blows, the enemy's relentless and desperate counterattacks, the absence of unnecessary verbal sparring, the lack of moral dilemmas—this is the kind of battle I've been looking for!]

--

[Only through pure combat like this can we effectively tap into the combat power of hundreds of thousands. I want more, much more!]

"Awooooo!"

Doomsday's wounds closed up and healed, and the blood on his skin was reabsorbed.

When it rose again from the bottom of the crater, its powerful Self-Healing ability made it appear completely unharmed.

Doomsday looked up at Shazo, its eyes blazing with ferocity, and even its power had returned.

"Hahaha, that's incredible power, it's really strong!"

Shazo Zuo grinned. "You can now change yourself, increase your strength, and eliminate your weaknesses without dying."

"But since the limitation of becoming stronger through death has been broken, can we assume that your resurrection is no longer as convenient as it used to be?"

Doomsday's reply was, "Roar - I'll kill you--!"

It crouched slightly, then suddenly exerted force, rushing towards Shazo in mid-air, its target being his right leg, which had just been broken during the [Big Foot Kickoff].

However, Shazo's Self-Healing ability was not for nothing; his leg injury had also healed.

Facing the oncoming Doomsday, Shazo's entire body emitted golden light, transforming into a shooting star as he met it head-on.

BOOM!!

In the second collision, Shazo did not resort to a head-on confrontation. Instead, he employed more refined combat techniques. He first deflected some of the force with a side attack, then intercepted another portion, and finally combined his own power with the intercepted force to unleash a Doomsday.

After this series of maneuvers, Shazo's power completely overwhelmed Doomsday.

Therefore, he had more room to maneuver, directing more power at Doomsday itself, rather than releasing it through its body and causing damage to the surrounding environment.

Doomsday was met with a counterattack several times stronger than the original force, and immediately turned from its upward momentum to its downward trajectory, landing back at the starting position.

Doomsday didn't fall hard, but the moment it hit the ground, it spat out a mouthful of blood in a jet-like burst, clearly indicating severe internal injuries.

Shazo's entire body erupted with golden light once more, and he rushed towards Doomsday like a meteor.

He stomped forward, creating a gust of wind that swept away all the surrounding dust, and then delivered a powerful punch to Doomsday's head.

This punch wasn't just about the power of the arm; it also carried the momentum of a downward swooping motion and the rebound force from stomping on the ground.

The three forces, bound together by air, were tightly intertwined, forming a terrifying combined force that poured into Doomsday's head.

In an instant, Doomsday's brain structure turned into mush, and all its eyes, connected to the Optic Nerve, were burst by the immense force.

The tall and strong Doomsday collapsed to his knees, his legs giving way, and then he fell to the ground like a collapsing mountain, sending dust billowing up.

However, Shazo controlled the power and did not kill Doomsday directly.

After destroying Doomsday's body with two consecutive attacks, he finally sensed the strange life force within Doomsday's body.

Shazo clicked his tongue and said, "This vitality is truly bizarre. The main stem isn't actually inside Doomsday's body, but rather connected to an unknowable entity in the dark."

"No wonder we couldn't kill him. It turns out Doomsday was just the client side; the real immortality was hidden on the server side."

"How interesting. So, to kill Doomsday, you need to sever the connection, not destroy the body."

"But the body must be damaged in order to keep it consuming resources beyond what can be replenished, eventually leading to continuous disconnections."

"Wait, the connection and energy replenishment speed is increasing! Could this also be part of compensating for a weakness?"

"Does this mean that if I miss this opportunity, I'll have no way to kill Doomsday for the time being?"

"Damn!" Shazo was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "I was originally planning to play with this monster for a few more days and enjoy some rare, thrilling battles."

"Forget it, the world is so big, and powerful enemies are constantly emerging. We'll always encounter another worthy adversary."

It's unclear whether something unseen sensed Shazo's spying, but the transmitted energy suddenly increased in size and was mixed with complex information.

Upon receiving the information, Doomsday underwent a mutation. Its two arms were retracted, all its eyes closed and were digested, and even its originally massive body, which was six meters tall, rapidly shrank to a height of exactly two meters.

Doomsday shrank in size, but the energy leaking from it increased tenfold, even dozens of times, causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Rumble!!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, accompanied by chilling whirlwinds.

Before anyone knew it, Doomsday had stood up, its fists clenched against its chest, and the surging energy emanating from its body formed Ki aura that enveloped its entire form.

The shrunken body seemed to be a compressed essence, with all the bones and muscles transformed.

All the keratinous scales fell off, and the grayish-green skin turned into a crystal-clear white, full of energetic vitality.

As energy continued to be released, harmonious yet eerie black patterns appeared on its pale white body, making it look like a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan from the Naruto World.

Shazo couldn't help but wonder if this intensely contrasting color scheme was a common form among advanced life forms in the Universe.

It's no wonder Shazo was overthinking things; as Doomsday's form changed, the boiling energy gushing from its body became even more intense.

The fact that changing one's skin could make one ten times stronger was something Shazo couldn't comprehend, naturally leaving him deeply shocked and speechless.

Shazo shook his head and muttered, "Since Doomsday is so powerful, I have to go all out."

His voice wasn't loud, but amidst the rumbling thunder, it traveled for ten kilometers, and everyone could hear it clearly.

He bent his knees slightly, then suddenly jumped up, flying directly into the air at a height of eight or nine hundred meters.

In the sky, Xia Zuo spread his arms and legs, and his whole body formed the character "Tai". The muscles all over his body were knotted, as if they were small dragons swimming around.

With a loud shout from Shazo, "Open!"

His body was also enveloped in a dense Ki aura.

The wildly rising Ki aura formed a thick cyclone, transforming into a towering Hurricane that shattered the Thunderclouds formed by Doomsday.

But the thunder did not disappear. Hundreds of silver arcs of electricity were born from the Ki aura enveloping Shazo's body, appearing and disappearing with the rise and fall of the Ki aura.

[Mimicry - Super Saiyan]

This was a secret technique that Saiyan Shazo had painstakingly devised but could never execute, and it was his greatest guarantee of survival before breaking through to Super Saiyan.

Unexpectedly, it was Shazo from the DC universe, who lacked Saiyan blood and could never advance to Super Saiyan was the first to achieve this.

"Hehehe, it's not because I need a twisted mind, it's because I need a strong enough opponent to put enough pressure on me."

"No, no, it doesn't necessarily have to be a powerful opponent. A sufficiently harsh environment and a sufficiently frightening unknown can all achieve the same goal."

"After all, the Doomsday before us is not powerful enough."

"Um?"

The Doomsday on the ground raised its hands, and its eyes also looked at Shazo.

Shazo was horrified to discover that those eyes no longer held any beastly instincts or the intelligence and spirituality they once possessed. Instead, they were filled with an absolute rationality that transcended intelligence, along with a hint of curiosity.

Shazo suddenly realized: These are the eyes of a higher-dimensional being!

A higher-dimensional intelligent being from an unknowable realm descended upon us through the connection to Doomsday.

Shazo's body trembled with excitement.

He let out a maniacal laugh, "Hahahaha, that's it! This is the kind of battle worth looking forward to! This is the kind of strong opponent I'd risk my life for!"
