Chapter 60: The Winner Is Decided
Hall of Justice, in an underground cell.
Although it is said to be an underground cell, due to the collapse of the ground due to the battle between Red and Superman, the entire Hall of Justice has actually been buried crookedly in the earth.
But even so, the structure is intact, and the devices inside are still functional, worthy of the Justice League base designed to be used as a fortress in the event of an alien invasion.
And in the deepest part of the underground cell there is a special room, outside the cylindrical ultra-high-strength glass hut, are hundreds of small artificial red suns.
It was a special cell designed for the most powerful man on the planet, but now, sitting in the center of the cell, was a small blue kitten.
"Meow~"
Although it was illuminated by hundreds of small artificial red sunlight, this temperature was nothing to a spirit star with hot red light energy flowing from the veins all over its body. It was uncomfortable to be separated from its owner, the temporary owner, for the first time in a long time.
However, to the comfort of Psychron, perhaps because the ring on its tail was a replica created by Red, even though they were separated, they were still able to maintain some kind of connection with the ring, and in fact, Psychic used this connection to help Red fight the most powerful enemy.
Superman thinks that Red is a manifestation of a small red sun in his chest, but this is wrong - he overestimates how much Red has control over the Ring.
In fact, even if there were ready-made prototypes for reference, it would not be easy for Red to perfectly simulate the radiation frequency of the red sun, let alone be distracted from the ultra-high-intensity battle with Superman.
But what if it's not creating, but transmitting copying?
The lantern ring can communicate with each other over a long distance, which is one of the most basic functions of the lantern ring, but Red usually sticks to the spirit star and does not need this function.
But just as a telephone line can be used to dial up the Internet, since it can transmit sound, it can also be used to transmit data information β directly sharing the frequency and wavelength data of optical radiation to another person in real time.
So Red actually only needs to be used as a terminal, and it is enough to replicate the real-time transmission of the red sunlight sensed by the spirit star here, even if the glowing terminal of the heart part is destroyed by Superman, he can immediately make any part of the body emit red sunlight.
And Lingxing's only task here is to "bask in the sun", which can be said to be a benefit for cats, so much so that it is a little drowsy.
So much so that it didn't notice the black pointy-eared figure that appeared in the doorway.
ββ
At the same time, at the bottom of the super crater that Superman smashed with a punch.
"Ahem...... Why ......"
"Hahahaha...... What do you want to ask? Why can I simulate the rays of a red sun? Why am I alive after you punched me? Or do you-"
Red had the sword of the god of fire in one hand and the blade of blood in the other, and while he had a wild smile on his face, his two knives swung at high speed and slashed at a rage that could not be caught by the naked eye.
"You want to ask me why I know your weaknesses so well?"
When Red's furious slash stopped, the bruised Superman staggered to his knees, and his otherwise invulnerable body was covered with hundreds of bloody knife marks.
Although there were many wounds, none of them were fatal, not because of Red's mercy, but because even Superman, who was weakened to the extreme, his body was stronger than most objects in the world.
"Because you're my idol!"
Red condensed the blade of blood and stabbed Superman in the chest, and Superman caught the blade with both hands again, which looked like a recreation of the scene a few minutes earlier.
But the difference is that this time, after the explosion of the blood blade, Superman's palms showed obvious scorch marks, and the S-shaped symbol on his chest that represented hope was also broken.
Red wasn't lying, and he wasn't taunting Superman. Powerful, gentle, upright, and kind, when these qualities converge in one person, it is difficult for Red not to look forward to this great embodiment of justice.
"But...... Why- uh! β
"Because I'm too weak, Superman."
Before Superman could finish speaking, his face door was grabbed by Red with a soullust and blasted him out.
"I'm not strong enough to subdue all the enemies or those who stand in my way unscathed. I can only give it my all in every battle, unscrupulous, cruel and brutal, and I don't care what they say. β
Red dragged his sword and walked towards the body that was struggling to try to stand up, covering his face.
"This is the arrogance that the strong can only do to the weak, whether it is superpowers, financial resources, technology, or connections - only the dominant side has this qualification, obviously, I can't do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Red grabbed Superman by the neck and jumped into the sky with him, then slammed it into the ground.
Blood Plunder!
Superman visibly looked delirious after being smashed to the ground, and it was unknown if his body was becoming more fragile under the influence of the red sun's rays, or if his faith was being destroyed by Red.
He had just been struck a runaway blow by anger, and he had no words to refute Red's words.
"But Batman...... We started out wanting ......"
"I don't want your way of salvation, Superman. Even if you can get me away with this manipulated trial, if I am in prison and Waller has a bomb planted in the back of my neck, can you stop me? If John Stewart can't let go of his brother-in-law's death and secretly forcibly takes me to O'Axing to hand it over to Little Blue, can you stop it? β
Red crashed into Superman, not giving Superman a chance to answer him, and he didn't need to hear the answer, because he had already thought of the conclusion.
"I also want to be a hero, and I want to exercise justiceβ"
Finally, Red raised the Vulcan Blade above his head, and the red light energy converged on the blade and slashed at Superman.
"But first I have to be the hero of me and the Spirit Star, and then I exercise justice, and the judge can only be myself!"
Collapse slashes - but not on the ground, but directly on Superman, and after a short delay of a few tenths of a second, Superman's wounds all over his body burst out with a massive amount of blood at the same time, and Superman finally closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
It's finally over.
Red breathed a sigh of relief, Superman was tougher than he had ever imagined, both physically and mentally. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that he finally shook Superman's beliefs, Superman might have a chance to break out again.
But now, in the third round with Superman, the victory finally belongs to-
Suddenly, Red seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head in the direction of the Hall of Justice, and after a moment, he covered his face and looked up and laughed.
"Sure enough, everything starts with you and should end with you......"
"Batman."
