Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Even if they were reluctant to go and offer help, it wouldn't seem to be of any use.

[Coward]: "An alien orphan? Wait... Uncle Bruce, I remember you mentioned Superman before, and you said he was a Kryptonian, right? Could it be—"

【I am Batman】: "This is the problem. I have spoken with Superman in detail and I can confirm with 100% certainty that the other party is his kin."

Even in chat groups, Bruce concealed Clark's identity; it's best not to divulge such secrets.

[Actor]: "Huh? Is there any hope for a peaceful resolution? They said they only want Superman. Is it possible that they just want to reunite with their compatriots left behind on Earth?"

【Resilience King】: "Too naive! Although I have no research on aliens or anything like that, just from the fact that they directly hijacked all of humanity's electronic channels, it's clear that they have no goodwill towards humanity whatsoever."

[King of Resilience]: "Believe what this kind of person says is more dangerous than believe Orochimaru. A powerful figure like this would never hesitate to destroy your world after finding his kin. I remember it was called Earth, right?"

Although he couldn't offer much power, as a ninja, Sasuke Uchiha's perception of the attitudes of strong individuals was far superior to that of Miko Yotsuya, and he immediately revealed the truth.

Based on this truth, Bruce then came up with an even worse speculation.

【I am Batman】: "Sasuke is right. The other party's attitude was too arrogant and forceful, and it was accompanied by threatening words."

【I am Batman】: "According to the information provided to me by Superman, Krypton was completely destroyed many years ago. Logically speaking, there should be no other Kryptonians. Data from the spaceship buried in Antarctica shows that Krypton once exiled a group of Kryptonians to a special area called the Phantom Zone."

[I am Batman]: "Based on my calculations, these suddenly appearing Kryptonians most likely came from the Phantom Zone."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Isn't that very dangerous? I don't know what the overall morality of Krypton is like, but a criminal who can be exiled probably isn't a good person, right?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "And I thought of something terrifying. If a Kryptonian can push the continent to become Superman on Earth, then if the other side has a large number of Kryptonians, wouldn't that be equivalent to an entire spaceship full of continent-level powerhouses?"

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Even if Earth wanted to resist, there's absolutely no way they could win, right? There's no need to hesitate anymore. This is the most typical case of aliens invading a backward civilization! We need Uncle Kasa's help right away!"

【I am Batman】: "No, wait a minute."

[Pro-war faction]: "If there is a need, never be reckless."

[I am Batman]: "I will call you immediately when I really can't take it anymore, but let me try first."

[Pro-war faction]: "I'll be here until things settle down on your end. Go ahead and do it, Bruce."

[I am Batman]: "...Thank you."

Gotham.

Bruce, who rarely expressed his gratitude, let out a deep sigh.

The children, including Sasuke, were puzzled as to why he hadn't immediately called Kassadin over.

However, back in the conversation after Hachiman dealt with the demons in the world, Kasa had already told him that, given Ultraman's nature, if he rashly came to the Gotham world, there was a high chance that he would quickly attract the attention of Barbatos' three biggest masterminds.

While those three things may already be affecting Earth, the impact is probably still quite minor, and they might not even be watching Earth. If we were to risk being watched by them by inviting Kassadin over... in comparison, a group of Kryptonians seems much easier to deal with.

Before reaching a dead end, he would ask Kasa for help to lock out this option.

Bruce shifted his attention from the chat group back to reality, staring intently at Clark in front of him, and asked in a very deep voice, "Have you made up your mind?"

“I have to go.” Clark nodded slowly and resolutely. “The time limit they gave us is almost up. I can’t let the Earth be destroyed because of me.”

"And... I really want to see my fellow human beings. If possible, perhaps I can persuade them to help humanity from now on and coexist peacefully on Earth. Or if you don't want to, I can also persuade them to leave the solar system and live on more distant planets."

Bruce remained expressionless and indifferent. He admired Clark's naiveté, but he had no confidence in him: "They're a bunch of criminals, and if they truly considered you one of their own, they wouldn't treat your planet like this."

“That’s all in the past. We must believe that criminals can repent, Bruce.” Clark tried his best to explain, salvaging the reputation of his Kryptonian compatriots whom he had never met. “I will do my best.”

"So, what if it fails?"

Bruce made no attempt to hide the fact that he had already considered the worst-case scenario before it occurred, so that Clark could react in time and do what needed to be done: "If they recognize you and then try to force you to leave Earth, or even destroy or invade Earth, what would you do?"

Clark's resolute face stiffened for a moment. He closed his eyes and, using his superhuman intelligence, interrogated himself countless times in just a few seconds.

No one but himself knows what kind of struggle he went through in those few seconds, or what kind of future he envisioned.

And his answer never disappointed Batman, nor Bruce Wayne: "Then I will fight!"

"As both Kryptonians and humans, if they want to invade this world, they must first step over my dead body. Before I fall, I will never allow my Kryptonian brethren to harm any of Earth or its people!"

"Even if it means you have to kill your fellow Kryptonians with your own hands?" Bruce asked again.

Clark nodded emphatically: "I will do that."

Seeing Clark like this, Bruce's gaze softened slightly. He stepped forward and patted Clark on the shoulder, as if he were very moved, and then gave him another hug.

Meanwhile, Clark knew about the various real-time monitoring devices that had secretly been attached to him during this period, and Clark knew about them too, but neither of them commented on it.

“I hope my existence can bring peace to both worlds, Bruce.”

Before leaving, Clark solemnly glanced in the direction of the White House, almost explicitly, and said, "If the Kryptonians want to invade this place, I will risk my life to stop them. In return, before they show any aggression, you must keep the people calm and prevent them from provoking the ship with their first attack."

"Humanity will not fire the first shot this time, I assure you."

The Batcave program has secretly taken control of the entire White House. At this moment, even if the US president gave the order, the nuclear weapons located around the world would not respond in the slightest.

Although the White House will definitely strengthen its defenses after this is under control, making it much harder to hack in again, it's still worthwhile. The so-called trump card is meant to be used when the time is right, and now is such a critical moment.

Clark took one last look at his one and only true friend, with unwavering determination and anticipation in his eyes, and took off from that little house in Gotham.

He was going to announce to the world that he would respond to the spaceship's request, go there, and bring peace to the world.

This is the meaning of Superman's existence!

……

"Don't let me down, Superman, Clark Kent."

Bruce, standing rooted to the spot, had no time for further reflection. He turned around, donned the latest version of the Batsuit, a blend of technology and magic, and Gotham's night was reborn.

Clark's girlfriend, Miss Louise, and his adoptive mother, Martha, were all secretly protected by his men under the guise of kidnapping, but that was not enough, far from enough. This was only enough to ensure that Clark would not deviate from human ways.

Even if Clark were to stand wholeheartedly on the side of humanity, it would be difficult for him alone to guarantee that he could defeat so many Kryptonians.

We must adopt a two-pronged approach.

Batman took out an item imbued with special magic and activated it as if making a phone call. His hoarse voice, as if from hell, startled the other person: "John Constantine."

"Damn it!" The person on the other end visibly flinched, then immediately became furious. "Disturbing me at such a crucial moment, are you going to compensate me if I become impotent later? You damn old bat!"

"To still be thinking about sleeping with women at a time like this, it seems you can really guarantee you won't die." Batman remained silent about the compensation, only threatening, "If the Kryptonians destroy this world, even if you are immortal, you can forget about finding any fun anymore."

"Those aliens in the sky?"

Constantine curled his lip. "Don't you have your own Superman? Just let him handle it. What does it have to do with a weak, pitiful, and helpless magician like me?"

"You really believe in Superman's power that much?" Batman gleaned some underlying information from Constantine's relaxed tone.

The latter lit a cigarette, seemingly lying in bed, comfortably embracing a frightened woman, and said while puffing out smoke, "Tch, never mind, I won't hide it from you, last night I made a deal with some very old demon from hell."

"According to it, although Kryptonians are indeed superhuman in every way compared to humans, Kryptonians with the power to move continents like Superman are very rare. Ordinary Kryptonian soldiers can probably only withstand a large number of bombs without taking damage. Even in a group fight, they can't beat Superman."

Information from a veteran demon from hell?

Given Constantine's abilities, there's no need to doubt the authenticity of this intelligence. This also reasonably explains why the other party can go looking for women without any pressure, completely disregarding the safety of all mankind.

but……

“I still have a bad feeling, Constantine.”

Batman spoke in a low voice, his sixth sense, honed over the years in Gotham, always giving him a sense of what was to come when something unexpected and terrible happened. "Perhaps our enemy will be beyond Superman's ability to defeat, or perhaps Superman will turn against us."

"Are you serious?"

On the other side of the Philosopher's Stone, Constantine, who had been nonchalant, suddenly became serious after hearing these words.

Just as Batman trusted Constantine's abilities, Constantine had to admit Batman's wit and sixth sense. He had experienced Batman's sixth sense many times during his time scavenging for dark creatures in Gotham.

Even those prophetic magicians who are thousands of years old could not possibly have Batman's accurate sixth sense!

“This planet is facing the greatest danger since the beginning of our existence.” Batman added fuel to the fire, “I’m not exaggerating; it doesn’t benefit me, and you should understand that.”

"..."

Constantine remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought. But one thing was certain: he must have imagined the miserable situation of having no women to play with and no good cigarettes to smoke after all of humanity was wiped out.

Otherwise, he would never compromise under any circumstances.

“If nothing happens,” he said, “you and your collection are in danger, old bat.”

“If Superman can solve the problem on his own, I’m willing to pay that price. We can’t afford to be stingy now.” Batman’s voice was no longer so hoarse, knowing that everything was settled.

"Tsk!"

Extremely annoyed, Constantine hung up the magical phone on the spot. What he would do, who he would meet, and what trump cards he would use were all unknown, but it was enough that he had taken action.

After dealing with Constantine, Batman didn't even pause for a second. His left hand still held the Philosopher's Stone, while his right hand, wielding a technological device, immediately hacked into Colonel Steve's private phone, starting with:

"Human civilization is in imminent danger. I may not pursue Wonder Woman's whereabouts, but you must contact her immediately and prepare."

"Who are you?" Colonel Steve, who had just finished a meeting at the White House, was taken aback, but when he glanced at the bat icon on his phone, he immediately knew who was on the other end.

Since Superman's debut, Batman, who is occasionally mentioned by Superman, has suddenly expanded his fame from the Gotham area to the whole world.

Colonel Steve hesitated for a moment: "I think that's none of your concern. I love this world just as much."

The implication was that he had originally intended to contact Wonder Woman.

"Very well." Swift as lightning, Batman didn't waste any more time and unilaterally hung up.

He has another target, a very young man who was recently found and successfully identified as an extraordinary individual.

Central City, Barry Allen!

Chapter 202 Aquaman, Tell Us Your Superpower!

Beyond Earth, in a place completely isolated from human satellite detection and undetectable, on the back of that Kryptonian spaceship, every remaining Kryptonian being faced with the sun, arms outstretched, recklessly absorbing the sunlight belonging to this young yellow star.

This scene, as it came into Clark's view, was also directly transmitted to the various listening devices and monitors on his body.

“You’ve come, Joe Al’s son. It seems you’re not as hopeless as someone said.”

General Zod, the most robust of all Kryptonians, a man of immense muscle and exuding a chilling aura, the leader of the Kryptonian remnants, spoke out in this vacuum using the bio-field unique to Kryptonians.

As he spoke and glanced at Clark, he casually waved his hand, and a series of crackling explosions instantly erupted from Clark's body, destroying all the instruments in an instant.

"But it's clear that you've been assimilated by those inferior monkeys. You think their technology can escape my eyes? You even allow them to call you their savior? Utterly foolish, Kal-El. Never forget that you are a Kryptonian."

Looking at Zod, whose eyes were full of arrogance and disdain, Clark remained silent for a moment.

According to the information his father left him in the spaceship, the Kryptonians should have forgotten that the yellow sun would enhance their power because they hadn't been in contact with it for so long. General Zod should also be unaware of this, otherwise his uprising on Krypton would not have failed.

But the current situation is very strange. It's as if these people have been reminded of this information by someone. It's obvious that each of them has been exposed to the sun for a full day and night, so much so that anyone can appear in space without wearing armor.

“I will not forget my race, Zod.” Clark chose his words carefully. “I am glad that I am not the last Kryptonian in this universe. If possible, as the last Kryptonian, I hope we can be people who understand each other, rather than fighting each other.”
