In the cornfield of Smallville, time seemed to be frozen. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth, the smell of broken corn stalks, and a faint smell of blood. Bruce controlled Fenrir Armor, like a black judge walking out of the abyss of hell. The huge shadow completely enveloped the Krypton female warrior who was curled up on the ground and groaning in pain.
"Welcome to... Earth."
These words, so cold and devoid of any emotion, came out through the armor's loudspeaker, like the sound of Deathstroke, echoing in Faora·E's tortured eardrums.
For Bruce, compassion and hesitation are luxuries, especially when facing an enemy of Faora's level. She is more than a soldier, she is an extension of Zod's will, the pinnacle of Krypton's military genetic engineering, a pure and efficient killing machine. Any chance to breathe may allow her to complete an incredible reversal.
Therefore, Bruce will not give her this opportunity.
Just when Faora temporarily lost the ability to resist due to the severe pain of sensory overload and was struggling to adapt to this hellish torture, Bruce had already issued the second order.
"Start,'Wither' program."
"Buzz--"
Fenrir Armor's ferocious right fist slowly opened its originally clenched five fingers. In the center of the palm, there was a device composed of three irregular green crystals, which was precisely unfolded with a complex mechanical structure. Those three crystals were the high-purity Kryptonite stolen by Bruce from the secret warehouse of Lex·Luthor!
After the emergency transformation of the precision instruments in Batcave, they have been integrated into the weapon system of Fenrir Armor. At this moment, driven by the core energy of the armor, the radioactive elements inside Kryptonite are highly excited, emitting an ominous green light visible to the naked eye.
That light, like the gaze of death, instantly enveloped Faora!
"Ahhhhhh--!!!"
If the sonic attack just now was like billions of steel needles piercing the brain, then the pain caused by Kryptonite radiation at this moment is like a burning fire ignited from the genetic level and from inside every cell!
Faora screamed more horribly than before. She felt that her power was being withdrawn rapidly, and the blood vessels under her skin bulged due to the severe pain, showing strange black lines. The indestructible Krypton battle suit, instead of providing any protection at this moment, was like an airtight oven, locking the deadly radiation tightly around her body.
Every Krypton cell in her body is wailing and dying!
However, Faora is worthy of being General Zod's most trusted lieutenant. Even under such double hellish torture, her genetically encoded fighting instinct still overcame the pain!
"For...Krypton!!!"
She let out a hoarse roar, used up her last bit of strength, and kicked the ground with both feet!
"Boom!"
The ground exploded instantly, and Faora's figure turned into a blurry black shadow. Ignoring the severe pain and weakness caused by Kryptonite's radiation, he punched Fenrir Armor in the head in a suicidal and decisive gesture!
This punch condensed all her remaining strength, and it was so fast that it even pulled out a white wave in the air!
"The fight between trapped beasts."
Bruce's thinking was as calm as Glacier Protocol's reaction. Faora's reaction was completely within his expectation.
Faced with this heavy punch that could level a hill to the ground, Bruce did not choose to resist or even retreat. He just made an extremely simple action - turning his head.
Fenrir Armor's huge head tilted slightly to the right with a dexterity completely inconsistent with its huge size.
"Hoo--!"
Faora's fist, with destructive power, whizzed past the armor's mask. The wind of the fist even scraped a series of dazzling Mars on the indestructible alloy surface of the armor!
One hit missed!
For top warriors, missing a blow means death.
At the moment when Faora's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been regenerated, and his body was stiff for a few tenths of a second due to the huge inertia, Bruce's counterattack arrived.
He didn't use any fancy moves.
It was just a simple, direct, and extremely precise left hook.
Fenrir Armor The black Iron Fist, which was bigger than a sandbag, was driven by hydraulic and electromagnetic muscles. It made a dull sound of breaking wind and hit Faora's lower abdomen from a tricky angle!
"Bang--!!!!"
The power of this punch is a pure, crushing physical impact!
Faora's body instantly arched into the shape of a shrimp. She felt as if her internal organs had been hit hard by a siege hammer, instantly displaced and broken. A mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments spurted out from her mouth and nose uncontrollably, dyeing the inside of her mask blood red.
But, this is not the end.
At the same time as the left hook hit, Bruce's right fist flashing Kryptonite's green light was already waiting there. He didn't give Faora any chance to be knocked away. Instead, with an almost cruel precision, he hit Faora's jaw with an uppercut!
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of broken bones was particularly harsh amid the dull impact.
And this time, in addition to the physical power that can shake mountains, what is attached to the fist is also the deadly Kryptonite radiation!
A double whammy!
"Pfft--!"
Faora's head jerked back, and her cervical spine let out an overwhelmed moan. Kryptonite Radiation was like the most vicious curse, flowing crazily into her brain along the contact point of her fist. Her consciousness, under the dual impact of physics and energy, instantly fell into darkness.
The body that was once full of strength and pride was now as soft as a puddle of mud, falling backwards feebly.
Bruce stretched out his huge left hand, grabbed her neck before she landed, and lifted her up in the air like a broken doll.
The battle is over.
The entire process from Faora launching a counterattack to being completely defeated took no more than three seconds.
This is the way Batman fights. With enough information and preparation time, the battle process is just a re-interpretation of a script that has already been written.
As a senior American comic book fan and a time traveler who has insight into the weaknesses of almost all heroes and villains in this world, the "preparation time" Bruce has is unmatched by Batman from any other parallel universe.
He knew that Kryptonian was sensitive to sound waves, he knew that they could not resist Kryptonite, and he also knew what kind of counterattack a pure warrior like Faora would make in the face of adversity.
So, he won. He won cleanly and without any suspense.
Bruce did not execute her immediately. A living Kryptonian was far more valuable than a corpse. He popped out a specially made restraint device like a metal collar from the storage compartment of the armor's arm.
The inside of this device was also embedded with a trace amount of Kryptonite powder and connected to a high-voltage electric shock system. He clicked the collar on Faora's slender neck.
A green shimmer lit up, continuously suppressing the cell activity in Faora's body, causing her to completely lose her ability to resist.
"It's done. As for how to deal with you...Carl, this is your family matter." Bruce thought in his heart. He planned to hand over the female captive to Superman after everything was over and let him decide the fate of his compatriots. This is both a kind of respect and a test.
Just when Bruce was finishing all this, Superman's slightly urgent voice came from the communication channel of his armor.
"Bruce! I am leading Zod to Smallville! He... he is going crazy! Metropolis can no longer bear our battle!"
[Metropolis-Smallville along the way]
As Superman said, Zod is going crazy.
After being attacked by Heat Vision, which had been charged for a long time, Superman burned half of his mask, Zod completely fell into a rage. And Superman, under Bruce's remote point-raising and the awakening of combat instinct, began to gradually adapt to Zod's fighting rhythm.
He no longer competed head-on with Zod in terms of fighting skills, but took full advantage of his adaptability to the earth's environment and his flight speed to launch a guerrilla war with Zod.
Sometimes he rushed into the clouds, using water vapor to interfere with Zod's line of sight; sometimes he stayed close to the ground, using complex terrain to limit Zod's charge route.
"Coward! Do you just run away like a mouse?!" Zod's roar echoed in the sky.
"I am protecting my home!" Superman responded loudly while avoiding Zod's violent attack, "And you, Zod, you are destroying your only chance! You want to rebuild Krypton, but you are destroying a world that can allow your people to live!"
Superman was talking and following the route planned by Bruce, leading the furious Zod step by step to the final decisive battle - Smallville.
The cities and towns along the way were devastated by the raging energy and shock waves in the chase between the two "gods". But fortunately, thanks to the early evacuation, civilian casualties were minimized. As for these property losses and political mess, that was a headache for the US government after the war.
At the same time, Indian Ocean battlefield.
"Diana, we have cleared the enemies here! But World Engine is still running!" Barry's voice sounded in the communication channel.
"I saw it!" Diana was suspended in the air, looking at the Kryptonian Spaceship that was still running tenaciously after being pierced by her God Killer Sword, and the beam of light below that was constantly shooting towards the core of the earth, exuding terrifying energy.
"What about Bruce, World Engine?" she asked.
"Destroy it." Bruce's calm voice came, "Use all your strength. Barry, cooperate with her."
"Understood!"
Diana took a deep breath, held God Killer Sword tightly with both hands, and all the divine power in her body burst out without reservation! Golden flames rose from her body into the sky, like a second sun!
And Barry began to run around World Engine at a speed exceeding the speed of light!
What he wants to do is to use Speed Force to create an independent, infinite mass boxing force field!
"Now! Diana!" Barry shouted.
A flash of light flashed in Diana's eyes, and his whole body turned into a golden meteor. The human sword merged into one, and with Olympians's blessing and Hephaestus's anger, it struck hard at the core of World Engine!
"Boom--!!!!!!!"
An unprecedented big explosion occurred in the sky above Indian Ocean.
