Thor was beating up the Devastator, while the Dawnbreaker was being chased around by energy cannons. On the other side of the city, the battle was equally one-sided and overwhelming.
The cleanup team composed of Diana, Arthur, and Mera has routed the Nightmare army in this area.
Each swing of the golden Lasso of Truth is like the scythe of death, reaping away a patch of black shadow.
Arthur's trident shattered the monsters into pieces.
However, on this battlefield where the outcome seemed to be settled, the real trouble was just beginning to emerge.
On the ground, a golden bolt of lightning streaked across the ruins, each flash accompanied by the transfer of a weakened citizen to safety.
Barry Allen's speed increased, but in his eyes, the number of people who needed saving was still as numerous as the stars in the sky.
He had just put down an old man who had recovered from Doomsday form and was preparing to return to the battlefield when three enormous figures landed with a thud, blocking his path.
Those three figures all exuded the unique, terrifying aura of Doomsday, a mixture of brutality and death.
The leader, though the smallest of the three Doomsday, had a distinctive red and blue suit fragment and long golden hair that made Barry stop in his tracks instantly.
It's Supergirl, Kara Zoel.
Beside her stood Doomsday, James Olson, a more imposing figure clad in tattered "Guardian" armor.
The other is Lois Lane, A.R.G.U.S. agent, Lucy Lane's sister, and a former Superwoman.
Barry looked at his three former comrades-in-arms, now turned into monsters who only knew how to destroy, and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Seriously? Please!" he muttered under his breath, "Why do I have to face a Kryptonian Doomsday, plus two guys who can go toe-to-toe with Kryptonian? Shouldn't this be Diana's job?"
Before he could finish his complaint, Doomsday Kara's crimson eyes had already locked onto her.
The next second, a deafening sonic boom rang out, and her massive body instantly traversed hundreds of meters at a speed completely defying the laws of physics, as a huge claw covered in bone spurs slashed fiercely at Barry's head!
Barry's pupils contracted, and his Speed Force erupted in an instant, narrowly dodging the attack.
He could feel the sharp wind from the claws stinging his cheeks.
Kara's Doomsday form not only retains the power of Kryptonian, but its speed is also enhanced!
If he weren't the fastest man in the world, his head would have been crushed in that one blow.
"Boom!" James Olson followed closely behind. He didn't have Kara's speed, but he used the simplest and most brutal method, punching a huge crater tens of meters deep into the ground where Barry had just stood.
Barry darted and weaved across the ruins, his figure blurry like a streak of lightning, constantly dodging the three men's attacks.
He glanced at the special gloves on his hands, which were coated with serum, and considered going behind them to apply the antidote.
However, he soon discovered to his despair that even though these three guys were infected by the Doomsday Virus and lost their minds, they still retained their former combat experience and instinct for teamwork!
Kara was responsible for the main attack and high-speed pursuit, James was responsible for large-scale destruction and blocking movement, while Lucy was like a calm hunter, always able to predict his next dodge route and launch attacks from the most tricky angles.
There was absolutely no gap between them, forming a tight net that left him no chance to even get close.
"Damn it!" Barry cursed inwardly as he ran. "Should I find a gun and shoot them all? Wait, that's crazy... but it somehow makes sense?"
Just as he was lost in thought, trying to find a loophole in this unsolvable predicament, he suddenly felt a strange sensation under his feet.
He looked down and realized that a thin layer of frost had formed on the ground beneath his feet.
It's Kara's Freeze Breath!
Damn it!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Barry, who was running at faster-than-light speed, felt his foot slip and lost his balance. Like a penguin falling on ice, he crashed headfirst into the pile of rubble beside him in an extremely awkward manner.
"Cough... cough..."
Barry, covered in dust, crawled out of the rubble and was about to activate the Speed Force again when three enormous shadows completely enveloped him.
He looked up and saw that Doomsday Kara, who had just used Freeze Breath, and two other demons had surrounded him, blocking all his escape routes.
A fiery red light began to blaze in Kara's scarlet eyes, and the terrifying heat caused the surrounding air to distort.
The Heat Vision is about to burst forth.
Barry stiffly raised his hands, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Alright, alright, you win." He coughed twice, trying to stall for time. "But this is a team effort, right?"
Just as Kara's Heat Vision was about to launch, a golden light descended from the sky!
The noose, coated with serum, coiled precisely around Kara's neck like a golden snake that had come to life.
Immediately afterwards, a golden trident imbued with the power of the ocean pierced through the air and slammed into James's chest!
Countless sharp water blades made of seawater simultaneously engulfed Lucy Lane.
"Roar--!"
Three mournful and unwilling roars echoed through the sky. Under the influence of the serum, the hideous bone spurs and gray skin on their bodies dissolved rapidly, as if splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, returning them to their original appearance, and then they collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Diana, Arthur, and Mera descended from the sky and landed beside Barry.
In Diana's hands, she was also carrying a person who was tightly bound by a black rope that seemed to be made of pure despair and fear.
The man, dressed in a tattered green suit, was none other than Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, who had been captured by the Dawnbreaker.
"Are you alright, Barry?" Diana glanced at the disheveled the Flash, then at Hal, who was tied up like a dumpling, her brows furrowing slightly.
"I'm fine..." Barry stood up, panting, and pointed to the distant sky, where the Godkiller Armor was beating up the Devastator like a punching bag. "Maybe we should go help Thomas?"
Arthur glanced in the direction he was pointing, then curled his lip in disdain and pointed the tip of his trident at the sky.
"Save your breath. Do you think Batman's Papa needs our help?"
Everyone looked up and saw the Devastator's massive body being blasted away by another punch, tracing a graceful arc in the air, while the Dawnbreaker was forced to keep its head up by the golden energy net.
They absolutely do not need to get involved.
While everyone was explaining the whole story to Kara and the other two, who had just regained consciousness and were looking bewildered, and watching the "father-son showdown" in the air like a movie, Hal Jordan, who had been thrown to the ground by Diana, let out a weak and hoarse voice.
"I... I understand..."
"What do you know?" Barry asked instinctively.
Hal struggled to lift his head, his gaze piercing through the crowd to the massive mech wreaking havoc in the distance, his expression incredibly complex.
"Now I know why it was Bruce's father who died in the alleys of Gotham back then, and not him..."
The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Diana's brow furrowed further as she looked down at Hal, her voice carrying a hint of warning. " Hal, this is not something to joke about."
I'm not joking.
Hal Jordan spoke in a low voice, and the Green Lantern Ring on his left hand suddenly shone brightly. The black rope made of nightmare energy was instantly broken under the illumination of the light of will.
He swayed as he stood up, dusted himself off, and pointed at the powerful " Batman " in the distance. In a voice tinged with relief, he addressed everyone:
"If Thomas Wayne had survived back then... Gotham might have been voted America's Most Civilized City every year!"
