Chapter 312 Darkseid Returns Looking Dejected
The connection that Reverse Lightning's embrace of the Speed Force brought to Chen Tao was weakening.
He felt it all happening with perfect clarity, as if someone was slowly pressing down on his shoulders, causing his feet to sink into the mud and eventually slide into the abyss, and he could only watch helplessly, unable to stop it.
Chen Tao abandoned part of Batman's transformation, only maintaining the Red Death Synchronization and the high-speed bullets used to provide the ability to hover in space, in order to deal with Superman Supreme.
Superman Supreme also keenly sensed his opponent's weakening momentum. He immediately slowed his attack and then told Batman:
"You're going to die."
He didn't say things like "I'm going to do this or that to you" or "You're going to lose," but instead stated things plainly, with an indescribable sense of dread, as if he were stating a future that was about to become an objective fact.
He no longer chased after Batman, but stood in the void, waiting for Batman to tire himself out, like a patient hunter.
The Supreme Superman stood there quietly. After a while, his injuries began to improve. The huge wound on his chest that had been cut open by the Dark Runner began to heal itself. But before the wound could completely close, with a hiss, the huge wound burst open again.
He simply stopped trying to catch Batman, who was constantly moving at high speed around him, and instead attacked him with his heat vision... no, his heat beam, and then stood still to quietly heal his injuries.
His situation wasn't good, but he believed his enemies were worse off.
He watched the bizarre changes in Batman's body, his eyes filled with compassion.
"You've become even more depraved than last time."
"Supreme Superman said. At this point, he actually seemed even more calm and composed."
"That's wrong. Batman shouldn't be like that."
He recalled Batman before the timeline reboot, the Batman Bruce Wayne from before Crisis on Infinite Earths.
"I used to know Batman."
Beep—beep beep beep beep—! !!! !
Two massive beams of heat, like searchlights, shot from his eyes, sweeping across the rapidly moving Batman and vaporizing a large area of meteorites in the nearby universe.
"He is exceptionally intelligent and wise, becoming a leader of the Justice League despite being a mere mortal, and also the world's greatest detective."
He stared at Batman's appearance after he simultaneously became the Red Death, half of his body gold and half deep red, and shook his head: "Besides, Batman should wear blue, not red."
He concluded: "I know Batman. Nobody knows Batman better than me."
Even so, he still kept his eyes fixed on the other person.
Because Superman realized that Batman was stalling for time.
If the other party intended to escape, they would never circle around him here. Instead, they would directly change their trajectory to a straight line and flee far away from him, the farther the better.
Although Darkseid insidiously used the Omega effect to seal off the surrounding area before leaving, Superman was certain that given Batman time, the opponent might be able to... or rather, absolutely could break through that blockade.
Of course, the time Batman spent breaking the blockade was the time Darkseid gave him for Superman Supreme to attack Batman. According to Darkseid's plan, it was impossible for Batman to break through the space blocked by the Omega Effect while enduring the attack of Superman Supreme, and thus successfully escape from the "colosseum" he created.
What an arrogant idea!
The Supreme Little Superman squinted his eyes and continued to quietly lick his wounds like a lone wolf.
Perhaps it was Darkseid's delusion caused by his previous madness due to the Blood Slaughter Bull, or perhaps it was because the other party didn't understand him at all, Darkseid always felt that he would prioritize attacking the person in front of him, like a mad dog desperately biting another dog that appeared in front of him, while ignoring other dogs that were far away.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Superman Supreme hates everyone in the world on average. The entire universe is a product of a mistake. He saved the wrong people, and the heroes saved the wrong people too. It's a flawed reality, a corrupt timeline that should never have happened. What he wants to do is completely erase it. He still has a chance to correct his mistakes, and he's willing to do anything for it.
So you see, Darkseid didn't understand what kind of cause he was fighting for at all, so his predictions about his behavior were naturally ridiculous.
As for Batman...
Even if the other party escapes, so what? They're just delaying their own death.
Superman the Supreme doesn't shy away from killing people.
No matter how many people he kills in the current timeline, they will all be resurrected in the timeline he recreates, so it doesn't matter.
He has fully learned from his previous failure.
(Note: The "last time" here refers to the DC event "Infinite Crisis," in which Superman and Alexander Luthor, who also hid in the Heaven dimension before the universe reboot, teamed up to try to correct what they believed to be an incorrect timeline, but were defeated by the combined forces of the heroes.)
The reason for the failure last time was entirely due to the failure to subdue any people or forces in the universe that might endanger his plans before executing them, which ultimately led to them uniting to interfere with the plan.
So the lesson is that you must eliminate all factors that could interfere with your plans before you begin.
Therefore, he wouldn't let either Batman or Darkseid go unnoticed, and would eventually have to pay them a visit, especially Darkseid...
A hint of malice unconsciously crept onto the face of the Supreme Little Superman.
The black runners summoned by his opponent could cause him temporary pain, but he intended to make Darkseid suffer for the rest of his life.
Of course, with the timeline reset, Darkseid will forget all of this. In the new timeline, he, Superman Supreme, is going to be a hero of the Justice League and can't do such dark things.
However, the current situation is somewhat special.
"I think to myself, Supreme Little Superman."
Instead of running away, Batman kept circling around him, as if he still had something to prepare. This made him wary, as he never underestimated Batman's preparations.
However, for the time being, he is unable to take any concrete countermeasures based on this vigilance, as he has no idea what Batman is relying on due to a lack of intelligence.
This is also why he didn't abandon Batman and leave immediately, but waited until his injuries had healed better before seeking revenge.
Darkseid could easily tear open the space sealed off in their area using the Omega Effect, but that would also be his most vulnerable moment. If Batman, with his unknown abilities, chose to launch a sneak attack at that moment, Darkseid might suffer even more unpredictable damage and take longer to recover.
Therefore, for Superman the Younger, the best option now is to stand still and slowly recover from his injuries. No matter what tricks Batman has up his sleeve, as long as his injuries are suppressed and his strength is restored enough, he can calmly deal with any situation.
Moreover, Batman appears to be weakening over time, so stalling is definitely an advantageous option for Superman Supreme. Although it's unclear why Batman shares the same idea, he's perfectly happy to play along.
Superman moved his body slightly and felt that his injuries were starting to improve. Although the wound was still bleeding, it was gradually starting to congeal.
Batman was still stalling for time, while Superman the Supreme began racking his brains to recall the information he had seen when he was controlled, and deducing the actions Batman might take.
His long-unused super brain began to slowly spin, and then it spun faster and faster.
But no matter how he tried to deduce it, he couldn't figure out where Batman's confidence came from.
Could it be that he has some other way to enhance his transformation? But what makes him think that this transformation could be stronger than his own?
Does Batman have reinforcements?
What kind of reinforcements could be effective in the current battle, Darkseid?
Superman the Supreme blinked. Darkseid stabbed Batman in the back, leaving him alone to face him. There had never been any trust or camaraderie between the two of them.
Hoping Darkseid will come back to help Batman is like hoping he'll suddenly become Batman's Robin...
?
Before Superman could react, a sonic boom suddenly appeared in front of him, and Darkseid, with his rock-black face resembling charcoal, reappeared on the battlefield. He turned to Batman and said:
"I'm back. You..."
"Welcome back, Your Majesty Darkseid!!! I knew you wouldn't abandon your loyal Apokolips guardians!"
Apokolips Guardians, you mean they destroy Apokolips and then protect it closely, right?
Darkseid wanted to curse, but he felt he shouldn't provoke Batman at this moment, giving Batman an excuse to do something even more out of control.
So he pinched his nose and nodded: "Yes, that's right, I've come back to save you."
Saying such unlucky words is like letting out a fart.
"Your Majesty Darkseid!!! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!!!"
"I never abandon my allies, I always have... I was just..."
"Long live Darkseid! We are Apokolips..."
The two men faced each other and then began to fart. Instantly, the battlefield was filled with the incessant sound of farting, creating a smoky and foul atmosphere.
The Supreme Little Superman stood there somewhat stiffly.
?
Watching Darkseid put on a show of deep camaraderie with Batman, Superman rubbed his eyes.
What's going on? Darkseid actually came back to save Batman?!
What is that? How could he have such a dream?
Did he get it wrong before? Is this timeline not just about superheroes turning into villains, but also about supervillains being redeemed and becoming superheroes?
He recognized the guy who pulled him down from the Source Wall—it was Bane, the man who had once broken Batman's back, yet now he was Batman's ally. Could Darkseid be in a similar situation?
A wicked and evil superhero paired with a genuinely kind and good-hearted supervillain?
puff!puff!puff!
After exchanging endless rants with Batman, Darkseid finally lost his patience.
He grabbed the other man by the collar and lifted him off the ground: "The most important issue right now is Superman Supreme. Once we've dealt with Superman Supreme, you can talk nonsense with me for as long as you want, okay?"
"Yes, for Apokolips!"
Then he saw Batman snap to attention, his posture even more perfect than the Parademons he directly controlled.
Darkseid extended his hand, and crimson Omega energy enveloped the two of them, blocking Superman's super hearing.
Once the other person's hearing was blocked, Darkseid immediately got straight to the point:
"I'm finding it hard to control Superman now."
Darkseid whispered to Chen Tao, "I lack the ability to make a final decision on Superman Supreme."
He said in a low voice, "Even if the two of us join forces now, we're not guaranteed to get Supreme Superman off the wall."
He said to Batman, "You must have another plan, right? You've planned everything. You have a way to enhance both of us, making us unstoppable."
He urged in a low voice, "Now that it's time to take it out, don't hide it anymore."
"It's very simple."
Then he heard Batman's voice say, "First, you need the Speed Force."
"Next, you also need to have the Reverse Speed Force."
"The two become one, we run together..."
"That would allow us to forcibly lift Superman onto the wall. All we need is that machine called a lightning rod..."
Darkseid listened to Batman's confident and premeditated words. But the more Darkseid listened, the more uneasy he felt. He had that same chilling feeling he had when facing Superman the Primal, as if he had fallen into a new trap.
However, at that moment, Superman's fist had already arrived.
Darkseid was grabbed by Batman and escaped his attack, then he heard Batman say something.
"Darkseid, you should know just how ridiculous it is to be a king without land..."
"That's enough!"
Darkseid tried to stop him, but still couldn't interrupt Batman's words:
"You, the Lord of Apokolips, don't want this either..."
This is the third time Darkseid has heard this phrase!
Darkseid's eyes were spitting fire.
But facing the Superman Supreme who continued to charge towards him, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the Speed Force, Batman."
He said this.
Going to work, then being blackmailed by a JK (high school girl).

Summary:
On my first day at work, I was extorted by a high school girl on the tram.
"Uncle, you don't want to lose your job because you're mistaken for a pervert, do you?"
"5 yen, I'll pretend nothing happened, how about that?"
"Otherwise, I might shout it out!"
The girl was extremely arrogant.
The problem is, looking at the girl's "Private Kamishiro Girls' Academy" uniform, Takizawa Yuuya couldn't help but recall his job:
If I remember correctly, he is the acting chairman of the "Private Kamishiro Girls' Academy".
And
"bite"
"Individual matching the criteria detected. The Villainess Correction System is at your service!"
"This system aims to punish all the evil deeds of wicked women, promote positive energy, and help them reform!"
