Chu Men chuckled lightly, raised his right hand and put it to his lips.

He blew an extremely frivolous kiss towards the rift in time and space that was about to be completely closed, with a playful smile.

Phew.

A weak white-gold air flow passed along the remnants of time and space.

It hit the edge of the high-dimensional throne that had not yet been completely closed, sparking a string of tiny electric sparks.

"Wash your neck and wait, big guy."

Chu Men shouted across the void, adjusting the door high-pitched and cheerfully.

"Come here often when you have time. Next time, remember to come down in person and not be a defective product like the old school that resists being beaten but not made."

"Did you hear me? Come in person next time!"

The giant shadow in the depths of the void seemed to be stunned by the blowing kiss, and then with a dull roar, it was completely separated from the three-dimensional space and retreated.

The starry sky returned to a cold and silent ink color.

The debris floating around reflected the cold light of metal under the light of stars.

Chu Men hovered in low-Earth orbit and rubbed his sore neck.

"You're so stingy, you didn't even say goodbye."

He muttered, turned around, and looked down at the blue and white planet at his feet.

In the northeast corner of North America, the area that originally belonged to Gotham Peninsula is now a dark and empty trench.

The seawater continued to swirl at the edge of the broken continental shelf, and large streams of yellow-green bubbles mixed with the smell of toxins and sulfur surged up from the seabed.

Chu Men's body tilted slightly downward.

There are no gas explosions and no light tracks.

His figure dissipated in space, and the next moment, it had passed through the troposphere and was hovering steadily above the sea surface of Atlantic Ocean.

The salty sea breeze blew up the charred remains of the surrounding ruins.

The remnants of the sunken peninsula have been submerged three thousand meters underwater. The sea water is boiling hot from the remaining geothermal heat, and white steam rises straight into the sky.

Chu Men was hanging in the air, looking down at the bubbling quagmire.

In the headset, a hoarse sound accompanied by electric current noise suddenly cut through due to signal recombination.

"Great Lord God, Lex·Luthor pays you the highest respect."

Chu Men raised his hand and tapped the headset.

"Luthor?"

"It's me, Lord God."

Luthor's voice was so enthusiastic that you could even hear the rapid breathing from the other party.

"Full-band monitoring of low-Earth orbit has been restored, and the global projection screen perfectly records your power to crush the shadow of the outer gods."

"Currently, all management centers in one hundred and ninety-three regions around the world are on their knees, without any noise."

"But the industrial base of Gotham and the main body of Divine Temple have collapsed deep into the ocean fault, and the culture tanks of Bio-Tyrant Legion are facing seawater intrusion."

"Do we need to re-select the site, or should I mobilize the global deep-submarine fleet to salvage it?"

Chu Men looked at the boiling black sea water under his feet and replied casually:

"Salvage? How troublesome that would be."

"Then what do you mean..."

"Stand still and wipe your surveillance camera clean."

Chu Men hung up the communication and took his hands out of his nightgown pockets.

He was suspended steadily three hundred meters above Atlantic Ocean, letting the sulfur steam evaporating under his feet pass over his trouser legs.

Three thousand meters below the sea surface, the fractured Gotham Peninsula is stuck on the edge of the deep-sea fault. Hundreds of millions of tons of hard basalt and concrete mixture are slowly sliding down in the undercurrent.

Chu Men stretched out his hands forward, bluffing his fingers.

Boom!

The platinum-gold light was not ejected from the palm, but was directly forcibly formed in the microscopic Force Field of the entire Atlantic Ocean northwest sea basin.

Gravity and electromagnetic force were completely woven into a substantial invisible giant cable at this moment.

Tens of thousands of gravitational beams that are invisible to the naked eye but can shake the mass of the planet.

It penetrated the violent deep-sea turbidity currents and accurately nailed every geological anchor point at the bottom of Gotham Peninsula.

"Get up."

Chu Men spit out a word and raised his arms slightly.

Atlantic Ocean is roaring.

The sea surface with a radius of hundreds of nautical miles suddenly sank tens of meters, and then, hundreds of millions of tons of turbid seawater spread wildly around.

Rumble--!

Gotham Peninsula sank into the sea thousands of meters deep, accompanied by the heartbreaking tearing sound of Earth's Crust.

He pulled it out from the abyss of the sea like a broken box from the quagmire!

Thousands of feet of water poured wildly from the edge of the peninsula, hitting the sea and triggering gravity waves tens of meters high.

The sea water that originally poured into the crack was forced out by this arrogant force, turning into a heavy rain that covered the sky and covered the sky.

The remaining white stone towers of Divine Temple, the broken bricks of Arkham Asylum, the dilapidated streets of East End, and the collapsed steel frames of Wayne Enterprises.

The entire land covering hundreds of square kilometers, wrapped in rock formations covered with seaweed and silt, rose steadily into the air under the palm of Chu Men.

"Take me back."

Chu Men pushed his arms forward, and the giant gravity cable pulled the huge land fragment, slamming into the tearing wound on the edge of the North America continental shelf.

Bang!

Loud noises like earth shaking echoed along the coastline.

The fractures of the peninsula and the continental shelf are tightly connected, and the originally dislocated geological faults are tightly welded by Strong Nuclear Force.

Chu Men's eyes lit up with two blazing white beams.

Zila--!

The combined Platinum Heat Vision turned into a laser cutter that was tens of kilometers long, sweeping across the sea level.

The fractured rock in the ground quickly melted into dazzling golden magma at temperatures of tens of millions of degrees.

It then solidifies under the cooling of seawater into one-piece dense granite crystals.

Earth's Crust is completely locked.

The boiling sea water receded, and although the entire Gotham was devastated and covered with thick sea mud and blackened wreckage, the land base had fallen back firmly to its original place.

Above the clouds, the roar of suspended battleships tore apart the rain curtain.

Hundreds of heavy transport ships bearing the dark red emblem of One God Temple came through the sky, their hatches wide open.

"Cleaning teams 1 to 7, launch immediately!"

Luthor's sharp instructions kept blasting in the public communication channel.

"Bio-Tyrant troops block the edge of the island, and the construction robot arm is deployed!"

"All Apokolips wreckage and Chaos Metal fragments must be returned to the warehouse within three hours!"

"What the Lord needs is a clean territory, not a garbage dump! Who dares to delay the construction period and directly promote the degradation tank!"

The densely packed biochemical warriors fell vertically from a thousand meters altitude, hitting the muddy ruins heavily, causing waves of mud and water.

These monsters modified by Victor and mass-produced by Luthor do not feel any pain.

The moment he landed, he pulled out the plasma cutting blade and methodically dragged the battleship fragments and Parademons corpses all over the ground.

Chu Men's figure fell down and stepped on a relatively dry gravel pile in front of Divine Temple.

Her long silver-white hair hangs down behind her shoulders, and her nightgown is spotless.

Luthor stumbled down from the main ship's elevator platform, his bald head reflecting the faint light in the dim cloudy sky, and his eyes filled with morbid reverence.

He didn't even care about the mud under his knees and knelt down on one knee five steps in front of Chu Men.

"My Lord, the stability of the continental shelf is 100%, and the earthquake wave of the continental bridge has completely subsided."
