American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"No!"

Batman's roar echoed through the shattered building, the name 'Martha' flashing repeatedly in his mind.

He charged towards Qishan like a madman, heedless of the groaning of his knees under the weight of his heavy armor.

However…

Swish!

I just helped you a little when you hesitated."

Qishan smiled slightly, then abruptly accelerated, smashing through the ceiling and disappearing.

"Ahhhh!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Batman raised the large gun barrel and fired wildly, but apart from bringing down more rubble, it was useless.

Lois stumbled in and threw herself at Superman.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, no!

This isn't real!

How could you die?

Clark, get up!

This joke isn't funny!

Get up!"

She screamed, hugging Superman's head, weeping like a widow.

Batman stood silently to the side, like a statue.

His mind was in turmoil, a flood of memory fragments flashing through his brain.

The scenes he had witnessed, the various information he had gathered, LexCorp's strange movements, the suspicious points of the African mercenary massacre, then the Congressional bombing, the inexplicable message he received earlier, Superman's sudden appearance, and Piccolo's words.

Lex's neuroticism, Piccolo's strangeness, the dead female senator's… charm, Superman's peaceful death, and the death of his own mother, 'Martha'.

Batman shuddered, and suddenly understood.

It turned out that this was all a hoax!

Damn it!

Why didn't I realize it sooner?

Why didn't I listen to him before acting?

Why did I insist on going my own way when I had already sensed something was wrong?

It's all my fault!

Lois stared intently at Batman, her voice tinged with madness: "Did you kill him?"

Batman was silent for a moment, then asked: "Who is Martha?"

"Answer my question first!" Lois screamed.

Batman remained unmoved: "Why did he mention this name?

Why did he want me to save her?"

Hearing the words 'save her', Lex's neurotic smile flashed in Lois's mind, and she abruptly woke up from her frenzy.

"Yes!

He must have kidnapped Martha too!

You have to go save her!"

Batman stared at her quietly.

Lois urged: "That's his mother's name!"

Batman's body shook, and he staggered back two steps, looking at Superman's peaceful face.

He suddenly turned and rushed out.

"Alfred!"

"I'm here, sir!"

Alfred's voice held a hint of helplessness, a hint of disappointment: "The communicator recorded your conversation.

I've traced the phones of several Russians, and their current location is in a warehouse near the port.

And the criminal who killed Superman is moving towards Metropolis at high speed, and the target should be the Kryptonian scout ship."

Batman was silent for a moment, then said: "Thank you!"

"At your service, sir!

Just next time, before making a major decision, check to see if there are other people's shadows involved."

The communication was cut off, and Batman boarded the Batwing, quickly disappearing into the air.

Metropolis, scout ship.

Lex leaned against the life-support system, playing with a small timer, a strange smile on his face.

"Too late!

Too late!

The almighty Superman is too late!

The poor child is about to lose his mother."

"Thirty seconds until resurrection!"

Ring, ring…

The phone rang, and Lex picked up the receiver, saying: "Tell me your bad news!"

Batman's hoarse voice came from the other end: "Bad news, you failed!"

Lex paused, then regained his composure: "Your voice sounds terrible, are you having a fever?

Or did tonight's beating mess up your endocrine system?

Anyway, please tell Superman to return within a minute, or he'll miss the grand finale!"

"Twenty seconds until resurrection!"

Batman said coldly: "Superman is dead!

You're next!"

The phone was hung up directly, and Lex was stunned.

Dead?

How could he be dead?

Could Bruce Wayne really kill Superman?

Don't be ridiculous, that's impossible!

Only I can kill him!

That is my destiny!

The sudden news caught Lex off guard.

He orchestrated the battle between Batman and Superman, using Lois to lure Superman, in order to break the invincibility of the god among men.

He wanted to let people know.

Superman is not a god, he also has weaknesses, he can be fooled, he can be tricked.

He will regret mistakenly killing a friend, and he will cry because he can't save his own mother.

After enjoying the ugliness of the god among men falling into the mortal world, Lex will give him the final fatal blow.

Kill him directly!

"Ten seconds until resurrection!

Nine, eight…"

But what if what Batman said was true?

Lex looked back at the strong figure curled up in the artificial embryo in the incubation room.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It was like preparing a large concert with great effort, but no audience came, and the performance couldn't be canceled!

"Two, one!"

A large amount of electrical surge gathered in the embryo, and the electromagnetic wave drove a small lightning network to spread out, covering the entire scout ship.

Metropolis suddenly experienced a large-scale power outage, and the entire city was instantly plunged into darkness.

A deafening beast roar echoed over Metropolis, ugly and unbearable.

A monster that looked like a zombie tore open the embryo and jumped out of the culture tank, roaring.

Lex glanced at the roof that had been broken through by its roar, and Superman was still nowhere to be seen.

"Uh… it seems like the time isn't right, how about you go back in and lie down for a while?"

"Roar!"

Doomsday opened its mouth and roared, the sound waves almost blowing Lex away.

He raised his palm, tore open the gauze, revealing a bloody wound, and said: "Flowing with the same blood, we are brothers connected by blood.

Now I order you to stand still and wait for my next instructions."

Doomsday tilted its head and glanced at him, then punched out.

Pfft!

Flesh and blood splattered, and Lex's upper body was directly blown into blood mist.

Having seen blood, Doomsday seemed even more excited.

It roared wildly, and with a leap, it soared into the sky, jumping directly from the scout ship to the rooftop of a skyscraper hundreds of meters away.

Doomsday roared and instinctively attacked the armed helicopters hovering in the air.
