Chapter 412 The Origin of Doomsday

"Doomsday" was a name Lex Luthor made up on the spot.

This is the common name used throughout the multiverse for all the Kryptonian monsters born after General Zod's death.

However, because Lex Luthor in this timeline was too hasty, he sacrificed himself to General Zod's corpse. Before he could even utter those words, he became nourishment for Doomsday.

Therefore, the Kryptonians still refer to Doomsday as the "Planet Destroyer".

When Doomsday burst out of the building not far away, everyone saw what it looked like.

It was bloated and obese, with its facial features almost out of place, its skin covered with scars, a grayish-green color that represented death, and oozing disgusting pus.

Ugly, it's really ugly.

Even more disgusting, on the left side of Doomsday's neck, hangs a head that has shrunk to half its original size.

The head was dry and brittle, and the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth had all turned into round black holes. From the mouth that could no longer be closed, it emitted meaningless noises like "Oh—oh—oh—".

Hearing such a sound can inexplicably evoke negative emotions such as anger, fear, and unease.

Apollo was furious. He drew his kryptonite spear from behind his back, pointed it at Doomsday, and said, "Even a planet destroyer has never had such a disgusting appearance. This is truly repulsive trash!"

"You despicable humans! How dare you desecrate my husband's body like this! You deserve to die!" Fuora roared.

Superman was equally furious. He felt responsible for the loss of General Zod's body and believed it was his duty to deal with the monster before him.

Even Batman was enraged at this moment.

This is normal, because Doomsday is the common enemy of life, and all intelligent beings know it to be their enemy when they see it.

Xia Zuo, however, didn't react much to this, because he had more than one enemy in his memory, and was somewhat immune to it.

Shazor took a kryptonite spear from behind Apollo, and Fiora gave one of his own spears to Superman.

But Superman didn't take it. He shook his head, took a deep breath, and then flew out with a bang, crashing into Doomsday at a speed that Batman couldn't even see.

Superman's impact was so powerful that it instantly cut Doomsday in two, like a lightning-type hot knife without any lightning power.

Superman's successful attack startled everyone, and many young Kryptonian warriors cheered, but were quickly silenced by the serious expressions of Fuora, Apollo, and Shazor.

Sure enough, the two pieces of Doomsday's flesh wriggled and stretched, forcibly pulling the broken body back together.

At the same time, Doomsday's skin color became a little whiter, and it had many more dense bony protrusions. It no longer looked as round and ugly as before, but rather more ferocious.

Superman was stunned. He flew back to the Kryptonian population, still shaken, and asked, "What the hell is that?"

Fuora replied, "As expected, it is the ultimate monster of Kryptonian technology—the Planet Destroyer."

Superman: "Planet Destroyer—what kind of monster is that?"

Fuola and Apollo looked at each other, not knowing how to explain it, just as the East University student didn't know how to describe Lao Tzu to the African natives.

That feeling of knowing something in your heart but being unable to explain it is very uncomfortable.

Xia Zuo turned on his communicator and asked, "Is Valletome confirmed?"

Valetome replied, "Mr. Shazo, I am now quite certain that this monster is indeed the planet destroyer of Krypton."

Xia Zuo said, "Please give me a detailed introduction to it."

Valletome replied earnestly, "Of course, I'd be happy to serve you."

However, what was particularly interesting was his opening remarks, because he added his own personal touch: disdain for the senior scientists.

"The Planet Destroyer is a failed creation of Kryptonian scientists who originally wanted to create the most powerful killing machine."

"At that time, Krypton was still very ambitious. The council was very interested in the idea that a single combat unit could solve a planet's problems, so they made many demands."

"My predecessors, scientists, piled up technology like crazy, creating a real monster."

"From the moment this monster was created, it has been constantly repeating death and rebirth, a continuous cycle of death and being cloned and reborn."

"Death is so frequent that, for some unknown reason, it transcends genes and matter, becoming deeply etched into the monster's life."

"In the end, this monster overcame death and became a truly immortal monster."

"Even if it were burned to ashes and scattered across the entire planet, this monster could still gather its own ashes and be resurrected."

"What's even more terrifying is that this monster possesses the original abilities it was given; its genes are constantly evolving and changing to adapt to its attacks."

"In the end, it became an invincible monster."

"This monster is not the invincible kind that cannot be harmed. Rather, it can be injured, defeated, and even killed in battle. However, the resurrected monster will evolve and overcome the weakness that led to its death."

"For example, just now, Karl cut off its body. After it was resurrected, its skin cells became noticeably tougher, its bones were greatly strengthened, and even bony protrusions formed under its skin."

"This change greatly enhances its defensive capabilities, and Karl-El can no longer tear it in two by relying on speed."

"It should be possible to kill it with fire or strong acid now, but it will revive and develop great resistance to fire or acid, and then it will no longer be afraid of fire or strong acid."

"If you kill it enough times, the monster will eventually become immune to almost all types of attacks, and eventually it will become an invincible monster that you can't hurt no matter what you do."

"Krypton was almost destroyed by the first monster, which is why it is called the planet destroyer."

"Wow, that's impressive." Xia Zuo asked, "How did Krypton destroy the first Faith Destroyer?"

Valetome replied, "Krypton was not able to destroy Planet Destroyer. Our predecessors did not find a way to kill it, but only discovered its one and only weakness."

"The Planet Destroyer can't fly, it can only jump, so our predecessors threw it into the Earth's core, leaving it suspended in the center, unable to use it for jumping anymore, thus trapping it to death in the Earth's core."

"Right now, it will probably be destroyed along with Krypton."

Xia Zuo nodded: "Maybe."

"But how do we deal with the planet destroyer before us?"

This time, Batman answered first: "Since this monster is the product of General Zod and Lex Luthor, can we infer that it possesses dual attributes of Krypton and Earth?"

Valletome replied, "That's entirely fair to say."

Batman continued, "If it's like Superman, possessing both Kryptonian and Earthly attributes, then Kryptonite would definitely be its fatal weakness, one that it can't overcome, and perhaps even kill it completely."

After a long silence, Valetome suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "You're quite something, human! What you said makes sense, it's very possible!"

"There is no such thing as enjoying benefits without paying a price in the universe."

"Kryptonite must be its fatal weakness!"

"But to be on the safe side, we should wait until it has completely absorbed that human before we make our move."

"Before the planet destroyer fully integrates, it may expel human factors and revert to a completely Kryptonian life form. At that point, it will have no fatal weaknesses."

Batman breathed a sigh of relief: "That makes things easier. Until then, focus all your efforts on dealing with this monster, keeping it trapped. Don't use any forceful methods to kill it unless absolutely necessary. Try to buy time until Luthor is completely absorbed."

Fuora and Apollo exchanged a glance, then looked at the kryptonite spear in their hands, their hearts filled with unbearable horror.

Months earlier, Shazo had asked them to create the Kryptonite spear, requiring them to do it independently without the assistance of Kryptonian scientists.

During the crafting process, the two of them became familiar with the kryptonite spear and even adapted to its radiation, so they wouldn't be weakened by the intense radiation from the large kryptonite.

These demands, which seemed absurd at the time, appear to be prophecies today.

Only by accurately predicting what will happen today can we make various arrangements in advance.

Fiora and Apollo had countless questions they wanted to ask, but this was not the right time, so they had to force themselves to be patient.

Fiora raised his still-sheathed spear and shouted, "According to humanity's plan, surround the planet destroyer, but do not kill it!"

"yes!"

The 20 Kryptonian warriors responded in unison and charged forward, surrounding Doomsday in layers, kicking the filthy Doomsday with countless legs.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, Doomsday was quickly beaten black and blue.

Its body has indeed been strengthened a lot, but mainly in terms of being torn apart at high speeds, and it is not as effective against blunt force injuries caused by kicks.

Especially those bony prominences that cause scattered damage, when faced with the powerful and heavy sole of the foot, become accomplices in damaging internal organs.

Fiora discovered that because of the limited space available to get close, the Kryptonian warriors were rushing to attack, getting more and more carried away, and soon lost all sense of proportion.

They kicked harder and harder, each thinking that since they were only kicking once, using more force should be fine.

When all 20 Kryptonian warriors thought the same thing, Doomsday couldn't hold on any longer. Its screams grew louder and louder, then suddenly stopped.

Doomsday died for the second time.

Fiora: "————"

Krypton Warriors:

'

'

Apollo tried to defend his men, saying, "I didn't expect this monster to be so vulnerable now."

The Kryptonian warriors nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, the sergeant is right, it's too fragile!"

"That's right, I only kicked it once, and it died!"

"I haven't even used my full strength yet, so it's not our fault—"

Xia Zuo frowned and scolded, "Why are you standing so close? Do you want to be ambushed by that monster? Get away from me!"

The Kryptonian warriors scattered, revealing a pool of green mud that they had surrounded.

Xia Zuo was so angry he laughed: "Ha, very gently! I didn't even use any force! I only kicked once! Don't blame me!"

"Hehehehe, you guys just wait, you'll see when we get back!"

The Kryptonian warriors were terrified and dared not meet Xia Zuo's gaze.

As they spent more time together, Xia Zuo discovered that although the Kryptonian warriors were professional soldiers whose genes had been modified, they were not strong-logic beings like robots.

Kryptonians are intelligent beings; they also experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Not only do they look like humans on Earth, but their personalities are also no different from humans'.

They are simply exceptionally skilled in combat and obey orders with unwavering resolve, as if their minds were stamped on them, but they are not as rigid as one might imagine.

For example, just now, they couldn't control their belligerent nature and didn't control the force of their attack, kicking Doomsday to death.

Doomsday, now a mushy mess, wriggled and visibly reverted to an even uglier humanoid form, but with six thick arms and four extra eyes on its head, located on the sides and back.

This time, they're even more inhuman.

Fiora frowned and said, "This body shape seems to be very good at fighting outnumbered. No matter how many people surround it, it will face them head-on."

Superman said, "I'll give it a try."

A Kryptonian warrior jumped up eagerly, shouting, "I'll go first!"

As he spoke, he charged forward, but the next second he was punched back by Doomsday. That huge fist was so strong, and the arm was so long, even longer than the warrior's leg.

More Kryptonian warriors couldn't contain themselves and rushed forward, attempting to create another situation where they outnumbered the enemy and ganged up on them.

But this time Doomsday didn't stay put. Instead, it attacked the Kryptonians at an even faster pace, defeating them one by one before they could form an encirclement.

The Kryptonian warriors were stunned, their eyes wide, clutching their fresh wounds, their gazes clear as they watched Doomsday rampage across the battlefield.

"Ouch—, that hurts!"

"This guy has become incredibly skilled!"

"How could this monster's second resurrection result in such a massive increase in power?"

"I don't know, that's incredible!"

"And it will use a strategy of picking them off one by one. That's terrifying!"

"We absolutely cannot kill it again this time! Everyone be careful, we can't kill it again! Otherwise, we really won't be able to beat it next time!"

"Understood!"

"Okay, let's all be careful to hold back!"

Although they were told to hold back their strength, the Kryptonian warriors couldn't actually hold back at all.

The resurrected Doomsday is too powerful, and it has changed from being passively attacked to actively launching attacks.

Most Kryptonian warriors had to exert all their strength to deal with Doomsday's attack, so they had no time to hold back.

It wasn't until Apollo couldn't resist stepping in and used his immense power to forcefully defeat Doomsday that the situation was stabilized again.
