Deep in the universe.
The two golden figures were like intertwined comets, and each collision caused the surrounding spacetime to tremble.
The stars dimmed. Their speed surpassed the limits of what living beings should have, and their power defied the laws of physics. The aftershocks of the battle even caused nearby star systems to veer off course. Clark Kent —no, at this moment he seemed more like some kind of being beyond the norm, his entire body bathed in dazzling golden light.
At this moment, he was no longer the Son of Krypton in his red and blue uniform. His body was enveloped in pure golden light, his eyes like two burning stars, and wherever his Heat Vision passed, even space itself was scorched with Eternity scars. He was the embodiment of hope, the Sun God walking the earth.
The Heat Vision in his eyes seemed as if the sun were truly shining down upon him.
Both Superman look like this.
Its power is far greater than the miniature suns in Ian's eyes. Of course, Ian doesn't need to be discouraged, after all, he is just a little " Kryptonian " who hasn't come of age yet.
"It seems you still have some potential." Clark Kent, who was fiercely fighting with Ian's father, is Golden Superman, a powerful being from a distant parallel universe.
He possesses near-divine power, capable of reshaping reality and reversing time. His golden battle suit flows with the energy of the universe's origin, and his pupils reflect Infinity possibilities.
In fact, Ian had already recognized this, but being "weak" as Ian was, he was unable to intervene. Golden Superman is the ultimate evolutionary form that Superman achieved after tens of thousands of years of cultivation in the Solar Core.
"Your mercy is too narrow; your capacity is insufficient to save all universes." The Golden Superman's voice resounded directly in Clark's mind, deep and authoritative.
And what about you?
Clark's fist slammed towards his opponent, but Golden Superman caught it with one hand, the shockwave shattering many nearby planets. "And what gives you the right to decide what the 'right' future is?"
Golden Superman didn't answer, but suddenly exerted his strength, flinging Clark towards a dying star. Clark's body pierced through the star's core like a cannonball, triggering a supernova explosion. Fiery plasma erupted, but then froze at Golden Superman's thought, as if time had been paused.
"I'm not like you; your ideals are too naive." Golden Superman hovered before the supernova, his voice icy. "Some problems have only one solution."
"The strongest Superman must be born." It's unclear how Golden Superman was brainwashed by the Supreme Alliance; he wasn't clearly being controlled, but his thinking had become extremely extreme.
Clark burst forth from the stellar debris, his golden light intensifying. He fell silent, attacking Golden Superman with even greater ferocity. Their battle raged from the real world to the flow of time, then tore back from the quantum realm to the material universe—a battle Ian could not possibly intervene in.
Golden Superman is too strong.
He achieved dimensional leap by absorbing solar energy, becoming a five-dimensional life form capable of manipulating timelines, and possessing the Green Lantern Corps' ultimate artifact, the " Final Power Ring." In other universes, Golden Superman has demonstrated Multiverse- level abilities such as crushing Poison Sun and reshaping DNA to create five-dimensional life.
Such Krypton life.
How can Ian, who has been in the industry for less than fifteen years, be compared to her?
He couldn't even use his own eyes to buff his father, because the range and speed of the two Superman's battle far exceeded the speed his eyes could currently capture.
"Moreover, even if I could capture my father's speed, the boost I could provide would be negligible. He has already ignited the sun within his own heart."
Ian has always believed that his father has a superstitious nature, and the facts have proven this to be true. As Clark Kent's eldest son, the only help he can provide to his father now is to use his new ability [ Whisper ] to constantly tell his father, whom he has locked onto, about his mother's unhappy life after remarrying with him.
"Dad, if you lie down now, Mom can hold a matchmaking event at Fortress of Solitude tomorrow—do you think that bald, loser-like Luthor from the other universe, wearing a black cloak Clark, will propose with Kryptonite ring?"
"Such a parallel universe really exists..."
I don't want to hear it.
However, Ian's Whisper ability was indeed overpowered, after all, it came from Mephisto, the great Demons of Marvel. Clark's fist grazed the Golden Superman's cheek by half an inch.
My hands were shaking.
" Jonathan and Jordan are in for a rough time~ Big brother Jonathan and second Jordan will be facing a stepfather who loves to abuse his children, but don't worry about me."
"I know how to use the law to protect myself; I can use the Constitution of the United States to kill my stepfather. Of course, if this continues, my mother will definitely have to remarry again."
"And so it goes, endlessly, and who knows, one day Mom might be forced to remarry Batman. I saw Batman glance at Mom a couple of times last time."
When it comes to stirring things up, Ian is a real pro, driving Clark Kent into a frenzy. Suddenly, Clark grabbed Golden Superman's hand, his knuckles cracking under the strain.
" Ian!!!" Clark's pupils instantly lit up with a golden light of idealism. The two had already fought in the depths of the universe. He grabbed Golden Superman by the neck and slammed him into the Earth Core Apokolips.
"Shut up!"
This was an angry reprimand of Ian, but the one suffering was Apokolips, the "spectator planet." Apokolips is the core of Darkseid's rule and one of the most terrifying planets in the DC Universe, known as the "Heart of Darkness." This planet was built with New Gods technology, its surface covered with burning scorched earth, huge factories and prisons, its sky forever shrouded in a red sun, and the air filled with an atmosphere of despair.
now.
It suffered an attack that no one could have predicted.
Boom!
The entire Apokolips plate was displaced by three kilometers, and magma erupted from the cracks like fountains, leaving scars on the surface of Apokolips far exceeding those of the East African Rift.
at the same time.
Darkseid was sitting on his throne.
Darkseid is the ultimate symbol of "Darkness and Chaos" in DC, also known as the " Dark Monarch," the ruler of Apokolips, and one of the most powerful Evil God among the New Gods.
His real Uxas. He was originally the second prince of Apokolips. He became the ruler of Apokolips by murdering his brother, usurping the throne, and seizing the Omega Effect, an ultimate power.
Its appearance is that of Rock Giant standing 8 feet 9 inches tall, with rock-like gray-black skin, a face covered with ferocious patterns, and eyes that reveal extreme indifference and cruelty.
As Superman's "fated enemy," Darkseid's ambition is not only to rule Apokolips, but also to conquer the entire Multiverse and destroy the free will of all life through the " Anti-Life Equation."
At this very moment, Darkseid was tapping his fingers on the armrest, contemplating how to use the chaos of the Multiverse to expand his territory and establish Eternity dark order.
Suddenly, however, the entire palace shook violently, the walls cracked, and the ceiling collapsed.
"What happened?!"
He stood up abruptly, the Omega Force already brewing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A subordinate stumbled in, shouting, "There are two super--"
boom--!!!
The palace dome shattered, and two golden beams of light crashed into the hall like meteorites. The red and blue afterimages slammed onto the conference table in front of Darkseid with a "bang," and the shockwave instantly sent all the Dark Elite flying. Darkseid didn't even have time to see who it was before he heard two angry roars rang out at the same time.
"Get out of my way!" Clark's fist came crashing down.
"Get out of my way!" Golden Superman's Heat Vision exploded.
For some reason, their attack trajectories inexplicably changed direction and headed straight for him.
Darkseid: "...???"
BOOOOOOM--!!!
The next second, two Superman -level fists simultaneously came hurtling towards his face. The Omega Force automatically protected its master at the critical moment, but it was still forcefully pushed back by the impact of the two god-level forces. The crust of Apokolips cracked at this moment, magma spewed out, and the entire planet wailed.
Darkseid was completely dumbfounded.
All he saw was two Superman fighting in his own territory, and in his own direction. He hadn't even gone to Destruction Earth yet, and his own home was about to be demolished.
This is the tragedy of not having purchased the property insurance offered by Ian's insurance company. Of course, even if Darkseid had purchased it, Ian would still have grounds to refuse to pay.
He's someone who's very well integrated into the ranks of capitalists.
"Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions echoed across Apokolips as two godlike figures clashed amidst the leaden clouds, each collision causing the entire planet to tremble.
"Boom--!!!"
Clark punched Golden Superman into the Earth Core fortress of Apokolips.
The superfortress, supposedly capable of withstanding the Big Bang, shattered like a biscuit. Lava spewed out, but was vaporized into invisible particles before it could reach the two Kryptonian.
"You--"
Darkseid's roar came from beneath the throne; he had indeed taken two brutal sneak attacks, and the Omega Effect was boiling in his furious eyes.
"This is Apokolips!"
The two Superman didn't answer, which means they knew.
They continued fighting each other.
Clark's Heat Vision collided with Golden Superman's Bio-field, and the resulting surge of energy swept away three Parademons legions that were gathering. Golden Superman delivered an elbow strike, which Clark dodged to the side, and the shockwave, powerful enough to shatter galaxies, sliced diagonally through Apokolips's orbital weapon platform.
Apokolips, this Hell planet composed of steel, lava, and Eternity war, is now experiencing the most absurd and humiliating moment since its birth.
It wasn't an invasion, it wasn't a conquest, it was being used as a boxing ring.
Two figures collided violently in the low sky above Apokolips.
Every punch they exchanged caused spatial folds, and every dodge tore through the atmosphere. Golden torrents of energy poured down like waterfalls, illuminating the entire planet as if it were daytime.
But this Destruction light precisely avoided all civilian areas.
The "commoners" of Apokolips.
The creatures living in the lava fissures trembled, yet remained unharmed. Their "god," Darkseid's army, however, faced annihilation.
Parademons Nest.
Before the eggs could hatch, the entrance to the nest was swept away by a stray fist and turned to ashes. Parademons are the iconic creatures of Apokolips, created from captives on planets conquered by Darkseid. They have no thoughts or free will, and obey Darkseid's commands. They are the main force behind Darkseid's conquest of the Multiverse.
Now, his mission has failed before he even began.
Even the Female Furies team, Darkseid's personal guard, was not spared, completely swallowed by the light and vanishing without a trace in the universe.
This elite fighting force, composed of Darkseid's most elite warriors, had just awakened from their hibernation pods. Their armor was not yet fully activated, and Apokolips's defense system hadn't even had time to lock onto their targets.
"Alert -- Unknown Energy --"
"Start the plasma--"
"Quickly! Contact them--"
Before he could finish speaking...
Golden light surged in like a tide, engulfing them and the entire command center. There was no fighting, no resistance; the Nemesis, along with their prized technological warfare, evaporated completely in the light.
"No... this is impossible..." In the monitoring room, a high- Parademons commander stared at the screen, his voice trembling. The next second, a streak of fist energy grazed the outer orbit of Apokolips.
His tower was wiped out, along with him. The entire war machine of Apokolips was being cleansed in the most brutal way by a force beyond comprehension. Darkseid sat on his Omega Throne, forged from countless bones, his eyes fixed on the battle outside.
He, the tyrant of the universe, the Destruction of order, had forced countless civilizations to kneel before the Omega Beams. Yet now, he seemed like an enraged parent helpless against a child breaking into their home.
"They... are fighting."
Darkseid's voice was deep and thunderous, yet carried a hint of unbelievable absurdity, "On my Apokolips... like street thugs... fighting?"
What enraged him even more was that the aftershocks of the battle between these two "thugs" precisely destroyed all his manpower and core technological facilities. Parademons armories, Antimatter Cannon Array, Dimensional Jump Engine... one strategic location after another collapsed in golden light. Of course, this was not the most unbearable thing for Darkseid.
The main problem was that the two figures would occasionally deliver a few dirty punches to him.
His nose is all bruised from being hit.
Darkseid finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Disgrace!" Darkseid roared, his eyes blazing with crimson flames. "My legions... my kingdom... have been so utterly trampled upon!"
His enormous body pressed down on the entire planet like a mountain.
"Since you want to play..."
The Dark Monarch whispered, his voice echoing like the depths of the abyss.
"Then let me join this 'game.' When I stare into your eyes, shatter your dreams, and break your hearts, six billion eyes will follow."
He raised his right hand and pointed to the center of the battlefield.
[ Omega Effect ] -- Initiation!
In an instant, the sky of Apokolips was torn apart.
A crimson ray, more dazzling than the sun, burst from Darkseid's eyes, shooting straight into the sky and colliding with the battlefield of the two golden figures.
This is a power capable of erasing existence, distorting reality, and causing a target to completely disappear from space and time.
but.
The Omega Beams shot through the air, but when it struck the center of the clash between Superman and Golden Superman, it was intercepted halfway by two Heat Vision —not Annihilation, but collided with them.
Crimson light intertwined, bursting forth with a brilliance even more dazzling than a supernova. Space shattered like glass, and time flowed backward through the cracks. The entire Apokolips tilted slightly under this force, and the molten lava ocean surged with towering waves. Three cosmic-level energies intertwined and exploded, the shockwaves lifting Apokolips ' crust three thousand meters high.
Darkseid's power originates from the Omega Effect, a cosmic-level energy derived from the essence of the New Gods, primarily manifested in two signature abilities. One is the Omega Beams, a concentrated plasma ray emitted from the eyes, capable of directly erasing the target's existence or resurrecting it for his own use.
Secondly, there is the Omega Sanction, which traps the opponent in an endless cycle of parallel worlds from which they cannot escape, even in death. The victim will continuously accumulate Omega Energy within the cycle.
It could ultimately Destruction the entire world.
In reality, Darkseid is likely a six-dimensional being, a level above even the Fifth-Dimensional Beings Golden Superman, although he is currently still in a super-young state.
Of course, Darkseid in his juvenile form was also very strong, but both Superman were burning with the sun in their hearts, and under the impact of the Omega Beams, they only took half a step back.
"Since you all want to be gods... then I'll let you taste the true ' Divine Punishment '."
Darkseid joins the battle.
They should have fought a fierce and evenly matched battle.
However.
He only made one move.
The next second, Clark Kent and his parallel universe counterpart Golden Superman, exchanged a glance, said nothing, and then both beams of golden light simultaneously changed direction and rushed towards him.
1+1 does not always equal 2.
"Bang!!"
The Omega Shield shattered like glass, and Darkseid was sandwiched between the two. He took a Krypton punch from Clark on his left and a future elbow strike from Golden Superman on his right. The Dark Monarch was sent flying like a cannonball, passing through eighteen antimatter reactors before finally crashing into his most treasured Omega Armory.
The Great Darkness Lord was in such a sorry state, but thankfully his sons didn't see it, otherwise his already dwindling authority in their eyes would surely have vanished.
Of course, the fact that no one inside the family witnessed this scene doesn't mean that no outsiders did. Ian, who was watching the battle from a distance using the Marvel Black Box, had already quietly started screen recording.
Ian Pictures, part of Ian's Greatest Tech Company, currently only has Ian himself dedicated to creating content. If they want to reach the stars, they'll have to rely on some truly daring projects and things that others wouldn't dare to film.
"That's really bad. Now Darkseid can use the fact that he was beaten by two Superman working together to suppress his arrogance repeatedly!"
"Throughout the entire universe, even Lord Ian has never been beaten like this by Superman."
Ian casually tossed the unconscious Injustice Superman, covered in burns, aside. He was the merciful Lord Ian, so he disregarded past grievances and applied more than ten boxes of burn ointment to Injustice Superman.
Lord Ian so gentle that even when the Injustice Superman was hit in the eye with the butt of the Gungnir, Ian kindly helped him cry while he was unconscious.
The Black Box also broadcasts the story of Apokolips.
Ian stared intently.
His fingertips glided lightly across the smooth surface of the Black Box, adjusting the observation frequency, completely unaware that the Injustice Superman behind him was slowly waking up.
Injustice Superman's fingers twitched first, then his eyelids. His eyelashes trembled, as if struggling to wake from a nightmare. When those once azure eyes, now cloudy, finally opened, what came into view was a shattered starry sky—a universe torn apart by energy, now somewhat empty.
"I am..." His voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like his own.
Memories flooded in like a tide, yet slipped away as quickly as sand in his hand. He remembered the golden light, and the forced manipulation he had been subjected to upon returning to headquarters after his last departure from this universe.
He also remembered the planets that had turned to ashes at his hands— Injustice Superman struggled to his feet, every muscle screaming in protest. He looked down at his arms, his skin charred and festering from the energy of Golden Superman, the black runes that had once coiled around his skin like venomous snakes had vanished without a trace.
This is why Injustice Superman regained consciousness.
"I've gained my freedom?"
The word rolled on the tongue of the Injustice Superman, both strange and familiar.
He looked up and around.
An unprecedented sense of guilt struck him like a hammer blow to the chest.
Then he saw Ian —that elusive, unnatural being—who was now facing away from him, intently fiddling with the mysterious Black Box.
Injustice Superman staggered to his feet, his ten fingers, broken by Ian, looking utterly twisted. He dragged himself toward Ian, wanting to know what he had just done.
" Ian Kent?"
Injustice Superman spoke with difficulty, his voice seeming to come from a great distance. When his hand finally touched Ian's shoulder, he found that the other man turned around and grabbed him as if he had been startled.
" The Overlord's Returning Horse Spear!"
The tip of the Gungnir gleamed with a deadly cold light, piercing Injustice Superman's abdomen at a speed imperceptible to the human eye. The Kryptonian's Steel Body was as thin as paper before the artifact. Injustice Superman's eyes widened as he looked down at the spearhead emerging from his back, blood dripping down the golden veins onto the surface of the planetary fragments.
"I've lost control." With each word he spoke, crimson blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "I just wanted to warn you... why you're acting like a villain, killing like this..."
The word "decisive" hadn't even been uttered yet.
The already seriously injured Injustice Superman fell backward.
Ian's expression froze.
He then noticed that Injustice Superman no longer had the runes on his body because his skin had been completely burned, and the madness in his eyes was no longer there when he was being controlled.
I remember Uncle Batman, who had already gone to Hell and was waiting for Ian to arrange his work, once said that this parallel universe Superman had previously descended upon this universe, was in a state of mind control.
Looking at it now...
It seems the other party is showing signs of reforming?
"Damn it! It wasn't a UFO trying to kidnap me for breeding!" Ian cursed as he pulled back the Gungnir, Injustice Superman immediately knelt down and then collapsed forward.
Ian caught him before he completely collapsed, feeling how terrifyingly light this once invincible body was now, as if all the power he had absorbed had been transferred to someone else.
"I thought you were trying to ambush me... Look at this mess, luckily my medical skills are pretty good." He quickly checked Injustice Superman's vital signs—weak but stable.
He breathed a sigh of relief and began trying to save the other person's life.
Ian carefully placed Injustice Superman on a relatively flat surface and began rummaging through his Dimensional Pocket. He first pulled out the All-Black the Necrosword as his surgical tool.
Then there's the seemingly ordinary fishing line.
Finally, there was a box of staplers with Adamantium staples.
Medical equipment is ready.
As Ian watched the images in the Black Box, he began his second illegal medical practice. However, the battle playing in the video made it difficult for him to concentrate.
Darkseid seems to be about to unleash his full power—his background is truly formidable. Due to Ian's distraction, he inadvertently widened the wound on the Injustice Superman.
"Forehead..."
Looking at Injustice Superman's numerous organs in his abdominal cavity, and forgetting to give him Injustice Superman, he struck Injustice Superman again amidst Injustice Superman's painful groans.
There is Green Kryptonite on the hammer.
Therefore, physical anesthesia is extremely effective.
It was originally intended as a protective measure for the second brother, Jonathan, out of brotherly affection.
"I'm sorry, just bear with it." As an apology for his mistake, Ian stared at Injustice Superman's abdomen and began to hesitate about whether he should give Injustice Superman some compensation.
Perhaps, that could be a true bond that allows the Injustice Superman to abandon evil and embrace good?
The legendary healer Ian was unsure whether this would go against societal norms. After all, he was almost fifteen, no longer a fourteen-year-old boy, so he too had moments of hesitation.
The main hesitation stems from whether twins are better or whether the bond between sextuplets is stronger.
