All the heavens, starting as the ruler of the universe

Lin Yan observed the scene without moving in the sky above the metropolis.

The world engine beneath my feet is like an inverted black tower, piercing the sky from the ground, its surface flowing with dark red light.

The surrounding air had become thin and pungent, carrying the metallic smell unique to Krypton's atmosphere.

The people under the world engine had already evacuated, and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of the engine running.

Lin Yan's immortal cultivation clone hovered high in the sky, looking down at this enormous creature.

The core of the engine is running at full power, and gravitational waves are crashing against the Earth's core one after another.

If it continues to operate, it won't even take 72 hours for this place to be completely destroyed by gravitational waves.

For humanity, the threat posed by gravitational waves is deadly.

But for Lin Yan, it didn't even qualify him to move.

He raised his hand.

A blazing white light gathered in his palm, growing brighter and more intense.

The surrounding air began to distort, and the temperature rose sharply.

The World Engine seemed to sense the threat. The dark red patterns on its surface suddenly lit up, and countless giant steel whips, resembling Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms, detached from the engine's surface and lashed out at Lin Yan with a piercing metallic scraping and whistling sound.

Lin Yan didn't move.

The giant steel whips suddenly stopped when they were still more than ten meters away from him.

It wasn't that it was blocked by anything, but rather it felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, suspended in mid-air, struggling frantically, yet unable to move forward an inch.

Lin Yan glanced at the giant whips.

They were trembling.

A piercing alarm sounded from inside the engine, and more giant whips peeled off the surface, surging towards Lin Yan in a dense mass.

Before the previous batch could break free, another batch pressed up, layer upon layer, almost covering half the sky.

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at the light in his palm.

The giant whips began to melt simultaneously.

It's not the kind of melting that comes from being burned, but rather a disintegration that starts at the molecular level.

Steel turns into molten iron, molten iron turns into steam, and steam turns into nothingness.

Within seconds, most of the overwhelming giant whips disappeared, leaving only a few barely clinging to life.

Lin Yan raised his other hand and flicked it lightly.

The few remaining giant whips instantly exploded, scattering fragments that clattered against the engine surface.

The engine alarm became even more piercing.

Lin Yan didn't give it another chance.

The light in his palm suddenly spread out, enveloping the entire world engine.

The dark red energy shield lasted for less than a second before shattering like glass, and the engine's outer shell began to deform, melt, and disintegrate.

boom--

The entire giant tower broke in the middle, and the upper half slowly tilted and crashed to the ground.

The shockwave overturned all the surrounding vehicles and streetlights, and dust blotted out the sun.

Lin Yan hovered above the ruins and confirmed that the engine's core had completely stopped operating.

Then he looked up, gazing towards the Indian Ocean, and in the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, Kara and the two Flashes arrived at the battlefield.

Kara hovered above London, with the rising sun behind her.

Golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on her, every inch of her skin greedily absorbing the energy.

The power of the Ox Talisman surged within her body, intertwining with the energy of the Sun, giving her a power she had never felt before.

But the enemy she faced was stronger than her.

Zod hovered above the ruins opposite, his black Kryptonian armor gleaming coldly in the morning light.

His hands were behind his back, his posture calm, as if he were examining prey that had fallen into a trap.

"Kara Zo-El," he said, his voice low, "you've been keeping me searching for a long time."

Kara didn't answer. She bent her knees slightly and then shot out like a cannonball.

One punch.

Zod dodged to the side and then slammed his elbow into her back.

Kara groaned as she was slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

Kara climbed out of the pit, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

The amplification from the Ox Talisman was still there, and the solar energy was still there, but the gap between her and Zod was too great. It wasn't a matter of strength, but a matter of experience.

Zod was a military genius on Krypton, who spent his entire life fighting, while she... hadn't fought much before she transmigrated, relying entirely on instinct to fight.

"Is that all you've got?" Zod stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at her.

Kara propped herself up with her hands, turned to look at Zod, her eyes reddening—not just a description, but a physical reddening, and they were getting redder.

The next instant, two red lasers shot towards Zod's head.

Zod raised his arm to shield himself, and the Kryptonian armor on his arm perfectly absorbed the attack.

Seeing that the laser was ineffective, Kara charged forward again, this time faster and more fiercely, delivering punches that landed squarely.

Zod blocked most of the attacks, but a few punches still landed on his face, making him tilt his head slightly.

Zod touched the spot where he had been hit, and his eyes finally became serious.

"Not bad," he said, "but not enough."

The next second, he moved.

He was more than twice as fast as Kara, and punched her in the stomach, sending Kara flying dozens of meters into the air, crashing into a Kryptonian spacecraft that was fighting Batman.

The aircraft exploded instantly, and thick smoke and flames engulfed Kara.

She struggled to her feet, and just as she rushed out of the ruins, Zod appeared in front of her and kicked her in the chest. Kara slammed into the ground like a cannonball, her body rolling all the way down the ground.

On the other side of the battlefield, Barry was locked in combat with Zod's female lieutenant, Fiora.

She wasn't as fast as Barry, but her strength was astonishing. Every punch she threw could shatter the ground. Barry barely dodged with his Speed ​​Force, but he couldn't retaliate at all.

"Is all you can do to run?" Fiora punched empty air, creating a deep crater in the ground.

Barry appeared behind her: "Running takes skill too!"

He punched Fiora in the back, feeling like he'd hit a steel plate. Fiora didn't budge, and with a backhand slap, he nearly sent Barry flying.

Barry Number Two was locked in combat with another Kryptonian, and was similarly being thoroughly outmatched. He was faster than his opponent, but each of his attacks felt like a tickle.

"This thing is impossible to destroy!" Barry, number two, shouted.

"I have a move!" Barry shouted, and then his body began to spin faster and faster until a tornado mixed with golden lightning appeared on the battlefield.

The tornado kept moving across the battlefield, and Barry No. 2 followed closely behind, clearing out the surrounding monsters.

Fiona watched the two figures constantly moving across the battlefield, refraining from making any rash moves. She knew she was not as fast as her opponent and was constantly looking for an opportunity.

Finally, just as Barry was enjoying his kills on the mobs, Fiona seized the opportunity, her right arm muscles tensing instantly as she forcefully hurled her weapon.

A battle blade swept across the battlefield and plunged straight into Barry's right arm.

"what!"

Barry Number Two was instantly overwhelmed by immense pain and screamed out.

Fiona didn't let the opportunity slip by; she traversed the battlefield in a few steps and arrived in front of Barry, number two.

Without further ado, Fiona unleashed a powerful kick with her right foot at number two, Barry.

Just as Fiona's foot was about to touch Barry the Second, a golden lightning bolt struck from afar, blasting Fiona away.

In the distance, Barry, panting, was making a backtracking gesture with both hands as he looked at Fiona.

Clearly, that golden lightning bolt was sent by Barry.

Barry the Second was also somewhat stunned. Blue lightning instantly appeared around his body, and with the Speed ​​Force boosting him, he used the blade that pierced through his arm to slash through Fiona's Kryptonian armor.

Time seemed to stand still.

Fiona looked down at the tip of the blade that had pierced her armor, her body stiffening abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She felt the sunlight streaming through the crack onto her skin.

The feeling was strange—not warm, but burning. Her skin began to turn red, and her veins bulged under her skin. It felt like she had been thrown into a furnace.

"No...it's impossible..." She staggered backward, covering the crack in her chest with her hands, but the crack could not be closed.

The sunlight cut through the cracks like a knife, slicing through her armor, her skin, and every cell in her body.

Fiona knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

She has always worn armor on Earth and has never been directly exposed to sunlight.

Her body was still adapted to the Kryptonian environment and had not yet completed the transformation to the Earth environment. Suddenly exposed to the sunlight, her body could not withstand it.

"You..." She looked up at Barry Number Two, her lips trembling, "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Barry, number two, stood frozen in place, his right arm still bleeding, but he couldn't care less about the pain.

He stared blankly at Fiona lying on the ground, then looked at the broken blade on his arm, his mouth agape.

"I...I killed her?" he murmured.

Barry rushed over and grabbed his shoulder: "Don't stand still! Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the massive Kryptonian mothership in the sky lit up with a blinding light.

Countless laser beams poured down from the bottom of the mothership, sweeping across the battlefield like a torrential rain.

"Run!" Barry grabbed Barry Number Two and they transformed into two golden streaks of lightning, frantically weaving through the gaps in the laser beams.

The laser struck the ground, blasting deep craters, sending debris and dirt flying, and waves of heat washing over you.

"Left! Right! Left!" Barry shouted, directing the direction, and the two narrowly dodged one laser beam after another.

Batman's black fighter jet burst out from behind the ruins, firing missiles and machine guns simultaneously, accurately hitting the laser turrets on the surface of the mothership that were charging.

Explosions continued, several gun emplacements were destroyed, and the mothership's firepower was significantly reduced.

"Well done!" Barry shouted into the communicator, then pulled Number Two Barry behind a half-collapsed building, panting heavily.

"How's your arm?" Barry asked, checking Barry's wound.

"I'm alright... I won't die..." Number Two Barry gritted his teeth, his face pale, but his eyes were still fixed on the distant battlefield. "Kara's over there..."

Kara's battle continues, but the situation has completely changed.

The sunlight shone on her, constantly restoring her strength, and she could feel her power increasing with every breath.

She punched Zod in the face, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

Zod crashed into a destroyed Kryptonian warship, and before he could even get up, Kara had already caught up with him.

On the way, she casually picked up a giant metal pillar and smashed it at Zod.

With a muffled thud, Zod was slammed into the road, creating a huge crater.

Kara hovered above the pit, clasped her hands together, and slammed them down hard.

boom!

The entire ground was shaking.

Zod lay at the bottom of the pit, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. Cracks had appeared in his black armor.

Kara didn't stop; she kept smashing down, each blow imbued with the energy of the sun and amplified by the bull rune.

The cracks multiplied, grew larger, and finally—

Click.

The breastplate shattered.

Zod's chest was exposed to the sunlight.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his body trembled gently, as if he were adjusting to something.

Then he looked up at Kara and suddenly smiled.

"So that's what sunlight feels like..."

His voice had changed; it was no longer the cold, condescending tone of before, but rather carried a kind of...excitement.

Kara's heart sank.

Zod stood up from the pit, his armor falling off piece by piece.

His body underwent visible changes in the sunlight—his muscles swelled, the blood vessels under his skin glowed with a golden light, and he looked like a piece of steel being thrown into a furnace and reforged.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist.

The air twisted in his palm, producing a low, popping sound.

Then he began to rise, not in a clumsy, floating way, but like Kara, smoothly, naturally, and gracefully.

"I understand." Zod hovered in mid-air, looking down at his hands. "This is how you become stronger."

He looked up at Kara.

The next instant, two red lasers shot out from his eyes, more than twice as fast as Kara's.

Kara barely managed to dodge to the side, the laser grazing her shoulder and blasting a deep trench in the ruins behind her.

Zod moved.

He was so fast that Kara couldn't even see him. He punched her in the stomach, and Kara was bent into a shrimp shape, flying hundreds of meters, crashing through three buildings, and finally landing in an overturned tanker truck.

An oil tanker exploded, sending flames soaring into the sky.

Kara emerged from the inferno, covered in wounds.

Blood was flowing from her mouth, nose, and ears. The power of the Ox Talisman was still there, but her body was nearing its limit.

Zod hovered in front of her, completely unharmed.

"You showed me the power of sunlight," he said, his tone even tinged with gratitude. "In return, I'll let you die with some dignity."

He raised his hand and clenched his fist.

Barry's scream came through the communicator: "Kara! Run!"

Kara didn't run away.

She looked at Zod and suddenly smiled.

"You're celebrating too soon."

Zod frowned.

Kara looked up at the sky.

There, a white light was rapidly approaching.

From the direction of the Indian Ocean.
