2172 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 13
Throwing the half-eaten roast goose back into his inventory, Luke started the Porsche and disappeared down the street.
At the same time, Master Wayne, who was looking for Lex on his Batplane, sensed the explosion and saw the flash of light in the distance. He turned the fighter plane, and it flew toward the remains of the Kryptonian spaceship.
Superman’s face was grim as he blocked the huge fist in front of him.
This was the second time he was feeling immense pressure after facing General Zod.
!!Of course, technically speaking, the pressure this time still came from General Zod… or more specifically, his body.
This deformed Doomsday monster which Lex had created had a twisted expression on its face, but traces of General Zod could still be seen.
Superman could sense the lingering aura of General Zod on Doomsday.
He was very uneasy.
The last battle with General Zod had caused the biggest outcry against him in history, and put immense pressure on him, when he only wanted to live an ordinary life.
If this city was destroyed again and hundreds of thousands of civilians were implicated, he would find it hard to forgive himself.
After all, General Zod had used his mother to threaten him last time, which made him lose his mind and start a war without thinking about the battlefield.
Thinking quickly, Superman exerted strength and threw Doomsday away from the city.
Master Wayne, who was approaching, suddenly saw something black fly at him and brush past the plane.
The shock wave it created caused the fighter plane to rock a few times in the air.
Then, Superman flew past the fighter plane with a sonic boom that sent it rolling.
A few seconds later, Master Wayne, who had just barely stabilized the plane, couldn’t help but curse. “WTF!”
He glanced at the screen. The first thing was a humanoid monster. Who the hell knew what it was?
But the data on the second person had always been in the database. Master Wayne was furious when he saw it. “D*mn Superman. You really created this d*mn thing.”
He had known that an existence like Superman was trouble to begin with, and would attract a steady stream of problems.
Worst of all, Superman himself was a weapon of global mass destruction.
No normal person wanted their continued existence to depend on someone else’s benevolence.
If there was a remote that could instantly destroy Earth, Luke’s first choice would be to control it, not to give it to a ‘good’ person.
Humans were unpredictable.
Most people wouldn’t necessarily stay true to their own selves; how could they expect others to remain the same forever?
The tragedy caused by Superman’s battle a few years ago was proof of this point.
It was precisely because of this extreme sense of insecurity that human society had attacked Superman.
The difference was that while other people couldn’t do anything about Superman, Master Wayne had the money and ability to take action.
Gritting his teeth, Master Wayne’s Batplane turned around and chased after Superman and Doomsday.
Knight drifted down in stealth mode toward the remains of the Kryptonian spaceship.
When Luke saw Lex mumbling to herself with a deranged smile, he was a little astonished.
This guy was actually fine? He then sighed. Fine, Superman was too soft-hearted… It seemed that in the future, Luke couldn’t let him know what happened to the bad guys.
Superman had even spared Lex, who had attacked his mother and girlfriend; other bad guys wouldn’t be able to die even if they wanted to.
Luke was too lazy to talk to Lex. He simply used Real Dream.
Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes and looked at Lex in surprise. As expected of a supervillain blessed with luck!
Lex had actually been able to create a monster like Doomsday, who could fight Superman head-on, with a bit of ‘inspiration.’
He didn’t even experience any minor setbacks during the process, and Luke, who might have been able to stop this process, had unintentionally let go of this possible target.
Thinking for a moment, Luke then decisively gave the guy a ‘self-destruct’ mental suggestion.
A month later, Lex would die unexpectedly, for example by jumping off a tall building or charging at a speeding truck.
Also, Luke would personally pay attention this time to ensure that this ‘accident’ happened.
After everything was done, he soundlessly left the remains of the ship and then sent a message to the butler.
In the underground base, the butler, who was providing technical support to Master Wayne, immediately opened the message when he saw that it was sent by ‘Knight.’
After reading the content, he immediately said to Master Wayne, “That monster is called Doomsday. Lex created it on the Kryptonian spaceship by using General Zod’s body. It might absorb energy and get stronger the more it fights.”
Stumped for a moment, Master Wayne looked at the surveillance signals which showed Doomsday and Superman rapidly moving away from Earth. “Alright, the good news is that we still have some time to think about how to get rid of it.”
Based on the current trajectory, it was less likely that Earth would be affected.
As soon as he said that, he suddenly raised his head.
In the distance, a tiny but bright streak of flames shot up into the sky and charged toward the outer atmosphere.
Master Wayne’s heart sank. “Alfred, what took off?”
Not far away, Luke frowned. Was that… a missile?
The missile had been launched from American soil, so this was undoubtedly the work of the American government.
But it had been launched from far away. When Luke noticed it, it had already broken through the troposphere and put on speed.
It was already impossible for him to stop it.
But no matter how fast the missile was, it wouldn’t be faster than Superman.
Superman wouldn’t be stupid enough to take the missile head-on, right?
How much stronger would Doomsday become after absorbing the energy from the nuclear weapon explosion?
Luke didn’t want to verify the answer for himself.
As his thoughts raced, the dark night sky suddenly lit up with a dark yellowish-orange light, and Gotham and Metropolis were enveloped in a faint blood-like light amidst the heavy air pollution.
Luke sighed.
He didn’t need the surveillance data on the virtual screen to know that this was definitely a nuclear weapon.
Ordinary weapons couldn’t create such a huge effect outside the atmosphere.
He abruptly recalled the nuclear missile which the Hydra members in the American government had launched during the Battle of New York.
So, the saying “there’s nothing new under the sun” had some truth to it.
The government back home and here didn’t mind sending superheroes to heaven if they had the chance.
In the name of preserving authority, these uncontrollable factors were either turned into power that the government could control or were simply eliminated.
Peace, friendship, mutual understanding, mutual progress – no one had a choice in these.
For example, the government back home had become obedient in the last ten years because it was aware of the overwhelming power of Earth’s allied fleet; it had no chance of annihilating such a large-scale armed force in one go.
Peace only appeared at the end of the muzzle of an intergalactic battleship.
Em~ or in the form of Superman, who could tear apart a battleship with his bare hands.
