Chapter 476 The Madman's Laughter, the So-Called Superman is More Idealistic the More...
Chapter 476 The Madman's Laughter: The So-Called Superman is a Species That Becomes Stronger the More Idealistic He Is.
Chen Tao was sweating profusely behind him.
In fact, according to his original plan, if he wanted Superman to become completely like Turtle Man, with his alter ego completely controlling his body and turning him into a henchman who obeyed his orders, Darkseid's participation was necessary.
Not only can he use the Omega Ray, which has an instant-death effect, to weaken the physical strength of Superman Supreme by firing it repeatedly, so that Chen Tao doesn't have to keep up with Dark Father while still bearing the burden of Flaniak, but more importantly, Darkseid can summon the physical manifestation of death, the Black Runner.
Although the Black Runner currently lacks a powerful host like Reverse-Flash or Barry Allen the Flash, it can still weaken Superman Supreme's already weakened body, which has been deprived of yellow sunlight for a long time, to an even more difficult level to attach to. This allows Superman Supreme to receive more of the Red Power of All Beings and strengthen the coercive force of the monkey head growing on his shoulder.
However, since Darkseid is not involved, Chen Tao has to force himself to control Superman the Supreme on his own. Although he previously weakened the opponent's mind with Naruto-style talk-no-jutsu, it was still too difficult.
On the surface, Superman Supreme obeys him, but in reality...
"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, I'm going to fuck you all to death right now!"
boom!
The palace where Darkseid was standing was instantly razed to the ground by the shockwave created by Superman Supreme's punch, and countless Parademons surrounding his palace died like ants.
Darkseid wouldn't be heartbroken, since he has as many Parademons as he wants.
But the problem is...
boom!
Darkseid crossed his arms to block the punch that Superman the Younger was throwing at him, but he only managed to block it briefly, not completely.
The next moment, he was grabbed around the waist by the other person who was yelling, and one of his feet was grabbed by the other person while he was flailing his arms and legs.
With that familiar feeling, Darkseid could almost guess what would happen next.
boom!!!
The earth cracked, as if an earthquake had struck.
Darkseid was lifted up by the foot from the humanoid crater in the ground by Superman Supreme, who then made another move as if to smash him.
"Stop! Batman!"
Darkseid arched his body, his massive frame pressing down on Superman Supreme and pinning him to the ground. While desperately restraining the berserk Superman Supreme, he hurriedly reached out to Batman:
"Let's talk this out!"
He saw Batman standing behind the Boomsound tunnel, showing no intention of setting foot on Apokolips. He stood there high up, coldly watching Superman the Supreme attack the ruler of Apokolips... like a manor owner unleashing his dogs.
Darkseid took a deep breath, then said, swallowing his anger, "I told you to stop."
Everything was left unsaid; Batman knew what he was up to, which was why he had come knocking on Darkseid's door. Darkseid wasn't going to play dumb.
He knew there was a basis for cooperation between them. Even without him targeting Superman Supreme, they shared common interests in dealing with the Anti-Monitor, and Batman would never give up his power.
Since that's the case, what else is there to say?
Batman had shown him enough power that all his previous preparations had to be scrapped and started over.
Batman has once again taken control of their alliance, and that's all. His attempt has failed, but for Darkseid, it was a risk-free attempt in itself.
Because Batman needs Darkseid, just as Darkseid needs Batman.
Their struggle is limited to dominance; neither Darkseid nor Batman would be foolish enough to try to kill the other to weaken their own universe's power in the face of the Anti-Monitor.
So when Darkseid temporarily suppressed Superman Supreme, his first reaction was not to summon the Black Runner as a trump card to fight Superman Supreme to the death, but to tell Batman, "We need to talk."
He needed to talk, and so did Batman; it was a two-way street.
However, the above situations only apply to normal circumstances.
But Batman's current situation is anything but normal, for a very obvious reason:
Without Darkseid's help, he was unable to fully control Superman Supreme as originally planned.
He originally planned to team up with Darkseid to create a soldier who would obey orders and commands, and at most utter some strange onomatopoeia.
But now, in desperation, he could only create an untamed beast. This was not what Chen Tao wanted to do, but rather the best he could do.
A very simple principle: if Chen Tao could do the same thing regardless of whether Darkseid was there or not, then why would he need Darkseid's help?
Therefore, the Supreme Superman is still missing a crucial step: to suffer a sufficiently severe injury, weakening him to a point where the monkey head formed by the Supreme Monkey personality on his shoulder can be completely controlled by Chen Tao, instead of being like the Turtle Man before—
When the turtle-man's turtle head first appeared, the first targets were Chen Tao and Bane. Now, the Supreme Superman is facing a similar problem.
The fact that Chen Tao instructed him not to attack him immediately upon his appearance, but instead to obey orders to pass through the portal to Apokolips and go berserk, already demonstrates his exceptional control!
In short, the current situation is that the monkey is causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace (the palace of Apokolips, or Heavenly Palace for short), and no one can control this mad monkey.
This is why, although Chen Tao has a cold expression, his body is still obediently hiding behind the sound tunnel.
If Superman the Supreme comes to attack him, he'll close the portal; he's not stupid enough to fly all the way to Apokolips.
What are you going there for? To get caught and beaten up by the crazed Superman?
Darkseid: ? ? ?
Batman's indifference almost made him doubt his own judgment. This didn't make sense; what good would Batman do if he died?
Darkseid tried to speak to Batman, but he soon felt a powerful force beneath him slam him to the ground.
"Damn it, what the hell—" Darkseid's heart was pounding. The Dark Lord's eyes shot out curved Omega rays at the Superman Supreme who hadn't turned around yet, only to be slapped away by the opponent.
The eyes of the Supreme Little Superman's two heads emitted red light as thick as buckets, and the ruins of distant buildings were swept away by the red light and evaporated into billowing black smoke, just like tofu.
Darkseid almost thought that Superman the Supreme was about to rush up and beat him up again. He immediately stood up from the ground, ready to receive the next heavy punch, while also trying to persuade Batman not to act rashly. But he soon realized that Superman the Supreme did not attack him immediately. Instead, he stood there blankly with both heads down.
Darkseid wasn't quite sure what this meant, but he didn't dare to act rashly. So he took a breath and decided to test the waters first to see what Superman Supreme was all about.
"Supreme? Supreme Superman?"
There was no reaction; he was like a statue.
Darkseid felt uneasy about the strange appearance of the other party, as he had no idea what was going on with them.
Chen Tao was terrified, because he had no idea what the other party's situation was.
He stood there, contemplating what he would do if Superman Supreme killed Darkseid right now, but he maintained a nonchalant expression, as if to say, "I have complete control over Superman Supreme. Yes, that's right, I'm the one controlling him beating you right now."
"Supreme, Supreme Superman? Batman has taken control of you! How did he do it? Don't let him..."
Darkseid continued speaking, but before he could finish, one of the monkey heads of Superman Supreme let out a loud howl, followed by a shout:
"Damn it...are we going to war???"
"No, no, Your Majesty, please listen to me first—"
"Hey!!!! You bunch of dogs, you're all not good enough to suppress me!"
The other head said, "What? Batman what? Damn it! That damn Batman!"
The Supreme Superman remained standing in the same spot. His original head, which had been suddenly brought here, was still somewhat confused. The appearance of the monkey head seemed to have messed up his thoughts, making him look neurotic and as if his IQ had dropped, leaving his mind somewhat muddled.
It took him a while to finally realize the situation and what Batman had done to him, and he immediately started cursing at Batman.
The monkey head became unhappy when it heard the original head cursing Batman.
Although he can no longer obey his commands due to Chen Tao's control over his strength, he still managed to implant the idea that "Batman is great" into him from the very beginning of his personality development through Batriania's abilities.
So even though he's pretty crazy, he always stays focused on fighting for Batman. When he hears his own head cursing Batman, he simultaneously yells at the original head to beat up the pig and dog while swearing at it.
The original head of the Supreme Superman was unwilling to give in to him. He was originally the original head of this body, so how could he listen to the words of this imposter? At first, the Supreme Superman completely ignored the monkey head and paid no attention to what it was saying.
But the monkey head went further and further as it spoke, becoming increasingly sharp. As the two heads of the Supreme Superman were of one mind, it knew all of the Supreme Superman's memories. It insulted and cursed the Supreme Superman's family while remaining silent and vulnerable. Even if the Supreme Superman tried to control himself from getting angry, he was still furious when he was cursed like this.
So he turned his gun around and started cursing at the monkey.
Taking advantage of this moment, Darkseid quickly turned to Chen Tao and said:
"Stop your Superman Supreme! Apokolips can't withstand this kind of destruction. We still need Apokolips as a war fortress to fight the Anti-Monitors. You're only weakening our chances of winning. What good does this do you?"
The answer is no, but I can't control it either.
Chen Tao certainly couldn't answer him like that: "You know what you've done, Darkseid. Internal strife must precede external resistance; everyone must pay the price for their actions, no matter who they are."
Their argument was not over when suddenly, with a loud bang, the monkey head, controlling one hand, swung its fist and punched the original head's face, leaving it covered in a spectacular display of force. The violent tremor echoed throughout Apokolips, like a neutron star exploding in the atmosphere.
"Ouch!!!!"
The screams of the Supreme Superman were deafening. He had punched himself so hard that his nose was crooked. His powerful biofield could protect him from 99% of the damage in the world, but his own fist was the only thing that could hurt him.
Before he could react, the monkey head controlled his hands to attack from both sides. At first, the Supreme Little Superman could still continue to curse and berate, but soon he was beaten until his face was covered in blood and he completely passed out.
With the original head of the Supreme Superman falling into a coma, the monkey head completely gained full control of the entire body, and now no one could subdue him.
"Listen to me..."
Darkseid said a few more words to Batman during this time, trying to get him to stop, but the other man wouldn't listen to him at all, and Darkseid eventually shut his mouth.
"Damn it."
Darkseid stared at the malevolent monkey head before him.
He knew what he had to do. Batman didn't want to interfere at all. After being beaten for a while, he finally realized that he had to prove his worth. Just as he had tested Batman's strength to see if it was still as strong as before, he also had to prove himself.
He needs to physically subdue Superman, at least to demonstrate that he has the ability to suppress the other party, before he can negotiate with Batman.
It's not difficult. Defeating Superman might be impossible, but using that trump card to suppress him head-on isn't difficult at all.
As Darkseid summoned him, the figure of the black runner appeared beside him.
Upon seeing this materialized manifestation of death, Supreme Little Super Monkey's eyes lit up.
"I thought only some pigs and dogs were coming, but what appears before hell is a lion, a fucking, invincible lion!!"
As he shouted this, the next second, he threw a punch, and a violent roar that could be heard even by alien planets erupted from Apokolips.
"Damn it, I forgot that Superman is a monster that becomes stronger the more idealistic he is; in other words, the purer he is, the more terrifying he becomes. What the hell? This punch might sink the land, won't it?"
Chen Tao, standing behind the sound tunnel, turned green with shock.
"After the monkey's head ousted the original head, this body became even more idealistic and pure. What are we going to do now?"
……
……
……
Deep in the universe.
Night Owl stared at the screen, a look of utter disbelief on his face.
what?
What the hell is this?
What new tricks is Batman up to this time?
