Chapter 124: Titan Falls? Ultimate Profession!
It was as if no one knew how many more trump cards Batman was hiding.
Similarly, no one knew how obsessed Lex Luthor was with Superman.
Ian was simply tossed aside by the Titan who had occupied Doomsday’s body with Fel Energy. Who would have thought he would find wild treasures again?
Lex Luthor’s factory.
There was an unusual amount of technology and tricks inside.
Ian directly took what he could eat and carry. By the time he returned to the battlefield, he had already emptied another of Lex Luthor’s lairs, which allowed him to constantly gain experience through enhancement potions.

…
When it came to nourishing the body.
Ian was always very serious. Of course, as the saying goes, upgrading doesn’t hinder filial piety. While he was heavily guzzling enhancement potions, he was also using his heat vision to assist Superman.
He did not choose to attack Doomsday.
Instead, he used his heat vision to directly hit Superman’s back.
To be honest, ever since he ignited the flames in his eyes and learned this new version of heat vision, Ian knew he could become a super wet nurse for Kryptonians.
【 Eternal Day Eye: Spirit attribute will jointly affect this skill’s effect with Constitution attribute. When your eyes become the sun, all things will surrender to this eternally burning light and heat!
Your eyes have fused with the law of the 「 Sun Core 」, your pupils have transformed into two miniature stars, allowing you to freely control cosmic-level powers such as light, heat, and plasma. 】
One could tell from the skill description.
The Sun Core is key information.
His eyes can not only destroy everything but also truly possess the power of a sun, controlling all energies that a sun should have. This is the skill change brought about by the 【 Void God 】 template.
“Sizzle sizzle~”
The brilliant yellow solar power in Ian’s eyes erupted.
While the heroes watched in stunned silence.
Superman’s body seemed to be injected with some kind of primal energy, his muscles bulged, his aura surged, and his previously exhausted body miraculously regained its vitality!
Even the Fel Energy that had invaded his body during the previous battle was being dispelled!
【 Error data has been cleared 】
【 Error data is being continuously shielded 】
Ian also received feedback from the system.
“Fight with confidence, Old Man! This thing only throws me, it doesn’t hit me. I can’t be a shield in front, but I’m still a professional at being a shield behind. This is the legendary hexagonal defender.”
“I belong to our universe as a Paladin!”
Ian imagined he was infusing Superman with holy light.
He cheered loudly.
It was a pity that the knight’s grass skirt he was wearing was already gone, and he hadn’t had time to weave another after being thrown. Therefore, he was currently wearing the plumber’s work clothes he had casually taken from Lex Luthor’s factory.
Of course.
It was normal for Mario to glow.
“Where did you get these strange… magical abilities?”
Superman paused his attack.
At this moment.
He felt as warm as facing the brilliance of the sun. The Old Father was naturally very shocked, but he only glanced back at Ian before charging towards the massive Fel Energy Doomsday again.
No.
Perhaps he should now be called Titan Doomsday, as the body originally belonging to the Kryptonian biological weapon was now occupied by a soul from the outer universe.
“Your world will eventually become nourishment, and burn when I reshape my world!” Titan Doomsday swung his massive fist, roaring as he met Superman’s charging direction. He had been silent for countless eons, and now, he was finally able to revive and had the desire to stretch his muscles.
Sargeras.
The Dark Titan.
This was a deity from a multiversal hierarchy.
The birth and destruction of all things in that universe were often written by the deity’s own hand.
Titan Sargeras of the Otherworld Pantheon was the embodiment of the will of the stars. His eyes had witnessed the first cries of the star souls, and his hands had caressed the boundless void. Under the order of the Titans, he was the practitioner of the power of creation—forging stars, giving souls to worlds, and bringing chaos into balance.
However.
Perfect order would eventually face questioning.
When faith collapsed.
Sargeras’s eyes ignited with the fire of eternal punishment, and his voice transformed into the howls of countless demons. He was no longer a warrior of the Titans but had become a Dark Titan with an extremely extreme ideology.
The supreme commander of the Burning Legion.
A supreme being with conquest, destruction, and corruption as its tenets. Of course, this being now did not seem to simply want to destroy, but rather to reshape its world through destruction.
“You talk too much!”
Superman, now empowered by Ian, with his back continuously linked to Ian’s eyes by golden beams of light, seemed to be shining with the same brilliant radiance.
“Absolutely no problem, I’ve been the embodiment of light since I was little, of course, I can help my Old Man become a shining Superman… This is a brand new version, a version with a promising future!”
While providing support, Ian also educated the Justice League members. However, no one responded to his words because all their brain cells felt like they were about to be incinerated.
“Bang!”
Superman’s muscles tensed, colliding with the Titan’s fist. A powerful wave of air erupted between their fists, and the shockwave even seemed to make space tremble and shake.
“Rumble rumble!”
Neither side gained an advantage.
Superman suddenly raised his head, charging upwards along Titan Doomsday’s chest. The heat vision in his eyes was several times brighter than usual, cutting through the opponent’s body as he threw another punch.
Within his tiny body.
An incredibly terrifying strength erupted, and he shot up like a cannonball, dodging Titan Doomsday’s grab and smashing his fist into Titan Doomsday’s jaw.
“Boom—!!!”
The shockwave from this punch could even blow away the Batmobile that had just returned—that man was back, and that man was sent flying again along with his Batmobile.
Titan Doomsday’s massive body staggered back.
It finally collapsed like a mountain crumbling.
The colossal body carried immense impact, shaking the earth’s crust. Distant mountain peaks couldn’t withstand the shock and collapsed, with rocks tumbling down like rain.
There weren’t many mountains left to be destroyed around.
Perhaps after tonight.
Metropolis would become a plain.
The Justice League members were once again dumbfounded. Each of them felt that Superman had clearly become extraordinary, especially Cyborg, whose analyzer showed Superman’s strength was constantly increasing.
“Is this reasonable?!”
Green Lantern Hal’s jaw almost hit the ground. Having seen much in the universe, even he couldn’t help but feel the shock from this absurd world at this moment.
“Why isn’t it reasonable? Why shouldn’t it be reasonable? In fact, only this way is reasonable!” Ian continued to pour potions into his mouth, his tone calmly stating the obvious.
“Love conquers all, and my heat vision is filled with the power of family.” His tone carried a sense of determination, and the brilliance in his eyes intensified by more than ten degrees.
Superman instantly felt invigorated.
He relentlessly pounded Titan Doomsday.
“Rumble rumble~ Rumble rumble~”
The outskirts, where the factory was no longer visible, seemed to be transitioning from plains to basins. The ground shook violently, continuously sinking, accompanied by Titan Doomsday’s furious roars.
“？？？？？?”
Wonder Woman, with her keen senses, was quite astonished by this.
No, really?
He gets a power-up just by mentioning family?
“This counts as family too?” Wonder Woman was utterly confused, her emotions representing those of Cyborg and Green Lantern. The three of them now felt like they were out of touch with the times.
In the past.
When the Justice League powered up, it was always in desperate situations. How could just talking about it lead to a power-up?
“If you don’t understand, it proves you don’t understand filial piety, Aunt Diana. Father’s love is love, but is a son’s love not love? My Old Man is feeling the son’s love coming from me.”
“He will naturally unleash potential far beyond the ordinary.” Ian’s words were not without reason. At least after he had brought everyone to his level of thinking, no one knew how to refute his words.
The three veteran members of the League hesitated to speak.
No one could figure out why Ian’s heat vision had increased so significantly.
【 Savage Tyrant Lv8 (22/1280) 】
【 Strength: 270 – 276 】
【 Constitution: 310 – 321 】
【 Intelligence: 20.1 – 20.4 】
【 Spirit: 101 – 105 】
【 Level Up Reward: Profession Skill Point +1 】
The boost provided by Ian had surged, which was naturally because he had leveled up and spent two more skill points, upgrading this skill, which had already proven its potential, to an intermediate level.
Heaven and earth had completely lost their color.
In the desolate suburban basin.
Father and son working together.
Their unity was as sharp as gold.
Wasn’t this another form of fighting side-by-side? Just as the three veteran Justice League members were speechless at Ian’s explanation, Batman crawled back from the crashed Batmobile.
He looked rather disheveled.
His black cape was torn into rags, with a few sparks still on it, clearly from the Batmobile’s explosion—perhaps the hand-cranked window design saved the remaining half of his cape.
Batman, who had returned to the battlefield, said nothing. Staring at the colorful potion bottles in Ian’s hand, his eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he took a small metal vial from his belt and threw it over.
Still silent.
Batman watched as Ian greedily opened the bottle and poured it into his mouth.
His remaining Superman potions were all consumed by Ian.
【 Savage Tyrant Experience Points +260】
【 Savage Tyrant Experience Points +230】
【 Savage Tyrant Experience Points +185】
…
Master Wayne seemed not only skilled in steel technology but also possessed remarkable achievements in biotechnology. After consuming the entire bottle of medicine, Ian leveled up again.
【 Savage Tyrant Lv9 (32/2560) 】
【 Strength: 276 – 281 】
【 Constitution: 321 – 330 】
【 Intelligence: 20.4 – 20.7 】
【 Spirit: 105 – 108.5 】
【 Level Up Reward: Profession Skill Point +1 】
In fact, as a basic profession, Savage Tyrant did not provide a significant increase in attribute points for Ian’s level-ups. However, this did not escape Master Wayne’s detection instrument.
“It seems you have a very powerful digestive system.” Batman’s eyes flickered slightly more, but he quickly returned to his usual calm.
There was nothing strange about it.
After all, he had already learned some information about Ian from an angel, so anything, no matter how absurd, could happen to this boy.
A miracle of the new era.
It was naturally more shocking than in the old era.
“Uncle Batman is right, Uncle Batman is the best… I want more.” Ian’s eyes remained connected to his Old Man, but this didn’t prevent him from making a request to Batman.
“There’s no more. The cost of each of these enhancement drugs is two million. You’ve just consumed a luxury private yacht.” Batman, having verified his suspicions, naturally wouldn’t give more away for free.
However.
“I don’t believe you. You must have backups, otherwise, you’re a fake Batman, a pirated Batman from another world.” Ian’s words caused the other veteran members of the Justice League to look at the Gotham Freak.
“…”
Batman had seen shameless people.
He also knew that Ian was a shameless person.
However.
Sometimes, one still wanted to fight for a breath of pride and prove themselves. With that, Batman operated on his wristwatch, and a driverless cargo box emerged from underground.
There were many things inside.
But Batman only took out a bottle of medicine and threw it at Ian.
“Gulp gulp gulp~”
Ian once again gained a massive amount of experience points.
However.
It didn’t cause him to level up again, as there were only seven pills in each bottle. Furthermore, the more pills he ate, the experience points gained from the next Superman pill would gradually decrease.
【 Savage Tyrant Lv9 (1320/2560) 】
Ian’s eyes were occupied for the moment, so he used his mouth, tilting his head to the side, and indicated with an “Ah~” sound that he still needed some reinforcement from the Master of Gotham.
Batman finally snapped.
“Damn it, how much blood do you think your Old Man has shed in his life to make this kind of Superman medicine for me?!” Batman’s emotions erupted. His emotional state was indeed less stable than usual today.
“Okay.”
Ian knew when to quit.
He didn’t ask the Gotham Freak for more.
And at this very moment.
The battle at a distance took a sudden turn.
Titan Doomsday was repeatedly defeated by Shining Superman, his body and flesh shattering, but he was ultimately occupying Doomsday’s body and inheriting Doomsday’s unique evolution ability.
His body was constantly replenished.
The fel energy armor on his body began to writhe and deform, gradually adapting to Superman’s attack frequency and strength. Doomsday could continuously evolve, and Titan Doomsday, inheriting this trait, would only grow stronger.
The battle situation gradually began to reverse.
“Your resistance is like dust! Feel my wrath!”
Titan Doomsday seized an opportunity, and his massive foot pressed down like a mountain, forcefully stomping Superman into the ground. Superman’s arms bulged with veins, struggling to withstand the terrifying pressure.
The ground beneath them continuously caved in.
Soon, it had sunk to the metal roof above Luthor’s underground factory. Even this roof, which could withstand the chaotic battles of Superman’s clones, was groaning under the strain and denting downwards.
Shining Superman was struggling to hold on.
The link between Ian and him had not been severed. Titan Doomsday had tried several times and found that Ian’s heat ray would also curve, so he eventually gave up trying.
Attack Ian?
The intelligent Titan did not want to give Ian an opportunity to become stronger. Inside Doomsday, he could observe the outside world like that Ancient God, and naturally knew that his attacks would also give Ian a chance to “evolve.”
“Damn it!”
Superman’s veins were bulging all over his body.
He held on with all his might.
Seeing this situation.
Ian quickly increased his power supply to Superman. Although the elders of the Justice League knew they were no match for the opponent, they also stopped holding back and rushed forward.
It would be best if Superman could resolve it.
If Superman couldn’t resolve it.
They naturally had to share the pressure for Superman. How to put it, they tried, but their efforts were mostly useless. Diana’s divine sword heavily struck Titan Doomsday’s ankle.
Sparks flew.
But only a layer of dead skin was shaved off.
It was like giving Titan a pedicure.
Cyborg’s plasma cannon didn’t even stir up a ripple.
“I’m not even worthy of giving him a pedicure?”
This cybernetic being was clearly disheartened and quickly contacted his Mother Box, attempting to obtain more powerful firepower. However, when Titan Doomsday looked at him, he found that his targeting system was even being interfered with.
“What is this power?”
Cyborg found himself unable to lock onto the target no matter what.
The cybernetic being stomped his foot in anxiety.
“Watch this!” Hal manifested a giant siege hammer, but was repelled by the recoil. He could only manifest one modern weapon after another made of Green Lantern energy.
Missiles, artillery, main battle tanks, and even bombers—Green Lantern alone conjured the firepower of five divisions, but he was ultimately not in his strongest form.
Let alone five divisions.
Even ten divisions.
The firepower coverage on Titan Doomsday only caused bursts of fel energy to splash up; Titan Doomsday was unharmed. He didn’t even glance at the others.
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Titan Doomsday seemed disappointed.
Superman roared.
However, glowing with golden light, he failed to unleash his full power. Titan Doomsday shifted his foot slightly, and the pedicure-mistress Lady Diana was sent flying, crashing into Cyborg.
“Don’t do that! I’m ranged output! At least today!” Cyborg caught Wonder Woman, who was sent flying, and the two slid for thousands of meters on the ground before stopping, leaving gouges several meters deep.
“We can’t get involved at all!” Batman had also changed equipment several times, with drones and mole-burrowing vehicles constantly bringing him different plans.
But he had never encountered such a creature.
He was completely unable to organize an effective response.
“Dad!” Ian was also providing support. He knew that his fists were weak against Doomsday, so he used the most powerful weapon he had. Not the Speed Force legs strapped to him, nor the cloned super-fake dads, but his invincible mouth.
“Think about our bond! And family! Ignite your fighting spirit! If that doesn’t work! Just think about Mom—if you can’t hold on, Mom will definitely remarry!”
“Can you bear to see Mom cook for someone else? Can you bear to see Jonathan, Jordan, and me be abused by a crude stepfather? Mom might even meet a drug addict!”
“Perhaps worse… we might be taken by Uncle Bruce to Gotham to be looked after!” Ian’s words were modulated and full of emotion, stunning Batman, who was switching his firepower nearby.
“Shut up! I didn’t! I won’t! I have my own children, damn it! I’m a non-marriage advocate!” Batman panicked, seeing Superman looking at him.
Everyone knew the nature of the rich and romantic Young Master Wayne.
His defense was too weak.
Non-marriage advocate?
This statement could even be considered a form of assistance.
“Aaargh!~!” In any case, Superman let out a roar, unsure if it was from anger or encouragement, and managed to lift Titan Doomsday’s massive foot.
This was a true surge of power.
Among the many hangers-on of the Justice League.
It was clear that Ian, the younger son, provided the most help. Ian knew this as well; his taunting had succeeded. Superman flew up and punched Titan Doomsday again.
“Come on, Dad!” Ian quickly used his remaining skill points to upgrade his 【 Eternal Day Eye 】 to level three, giving his father a new round of immense buffs.
At the same time.
As the skill level increased.
Ian’s control over the 【 Sun Core 】 law also became more proficient.
“Rumble—!”
Superman gained the New Shining form, and Titan Doomsday’s massive body fell again. The shockwave kicked up dust and fog thousands of meters high, and the distant lake was shaken to create huge waves.
“Very good, but not good enough! You must make this body of mine stronger!”
Titan Doomsday laughed instead of getting angry. He was clearly using Superman to level up. He got up from the ground and threw a punch, the wind pressure from which flattened half of a already shattered mountain.
Although Superman dodged in time.
Ian’s buffs to him were not limitless.
Doomsday’s characteristic was truly monstrous. Even though Ian temporarily enhanced Superman again, the gap between them would continue to shrink, and Titan Doomsday’s evolution seemed endless.
“We need to find a way!”
Superman yelled at Batman.
“Kryptonite can no longer harm this mutated monster…” Cyborg’s mechanical eyes flashed wildly. “The monster’s evolution speed even far surpasses the Doomsday we knew before.”
Hearing this.
The battered group who had flown back also looked at Batman.
Their bodies showed signs of corruption.
This body controlled by Sargeras not only inherited Doomsday’s near-immortal regeneration ability but also fused with Titan-level fel energy, making his strength far beyond normal.
“…”
Batman looked at Ian.
“Have you encountered this guy before? An invasion from the outer universe?” He had clearly analyzed some information related to Ian and Superman from Titan Doomsday’s roars.
“Yes, we have.”
Ian nodded.
He conjured one of his eyes to shine on everyone, transforming his heat ray into a gentle, low-temperature glow that dispelled the signs of corruption on several heroes.
【 Error Data Cleared. 】
This was a new gain from upgrading his skills. The power of the sun had many different meanings. The higher the upgrade, the closer the changes it brought would be to the concept of the Sun God.
No wonder Thor felt he was the Sun God.
“Do you know what this guy is?”
Batman glanced at his teammates and continued to question him.
“I know a little. He is a Dark Titan.”
Ian brought up his previous encounter with his Cousin Aunt and Superman. Batman actually knew about this. He was re-asking now only to confirm something.
“So, the soul currently occupying Doomsday’s body has not yet recovered to its peak state… it is still in a state of extreme weakness.”
“If we can’t eliminate him now, we will be eliminated by him after Clark falls—no, we might face an even worse outcome than being eliminated.”
“After all, he said he wanted to reshape his universe.”
Batman confirmed whether Ian had the foresight of Christ.
While making his judgment.
His extremely deep voice sent shivers down everyone’s spines. Such power in a state of extreme weakness made it hard to imagine who could contend with an outer universe expert at their peak.
“What should we do?”
Wonder Woman looked at the chaotic fighting figures in the distance.
She genuinely wanted to help.
However, even with the power and potential of her isotope, she was still somewhat powerless against such a monster. Green Lantern and Cyborg were also unsure how to help Clark.
In response.
Batman had an idea.
“We need to awaken the soul that can confront this Titan and have them fight each other.” From Ian’s account, Batman also learned that Ian had communicated with the soul of a Kryptonian Ancient God.
He regretted not listening to Ian’s warning earlier. Reflecting carefully, Batman became increasingly aware of his own abnormality. At that time, his mind seemed to be completely occupied by extreme emotions.
This was clearly not normal.
“Is that soul still alive? What if it’s already been destroyed?” Wonder Woman asked uncertainly. In her opinion, the Titan described by Ian did not seem like something the Kryptonian Ancient God could handle.
That was a deity that destroyed worlds everywhere in some multiverse.
He took out a spear with green Kryptonite from the mole-burrowing vehicle that emerged from the ground. This Kryptonite, which was poison to Clark, had the power to enhance an anti-universe Superman.
Batman disregarded his own condition.
“The Titan said ‘defeat,’ not ‘eliminate’ before.” As expected of Batman, he was precise about details. He began to modify the green Kryptonite spear in his hand on the spot.
Rarely known to anyone.
Bruce Wayne was actually a person with extremely strong hands-on skills.
Drones flew from the night sky one after another, dropping various parts, instruments, energy modules, and even some unknown devices from Star Labs, where The Flash was located.
Batman worked quickly.
His movements were precise.
As if he had practiced it countless times. Seeing this, the members of the Justice League were unfazed, and Ian also pretended to be unfazed, integrating into the group.
“What is he doing?” asked Green Lantern.
“I don’t know,” replied Cyborg, shaking his head. “But I’d bet no one can understand this thing.”
Let alone Wonder Woman.
She called herself a barbarian.
Although it was just a joke, it indicated that she didn’t interact much with technological aspects.
“If even you adults don’t understand it, then I’ll humor your feelings and pretend I don’t understand it.” Ian genuinely didn’t understand it either.
But he was always a bit stubborn.
He still had a lot of lies left to tell for today.
“Oh, right, that Kryptonian Ancient God, whether he’s the Kryptonian God Rao I guessed or not, he’s definitely not a good guy. He cursed me very badly before.”
Ian spoke to remind Batman.
In response, Batman, who was focused on modifying the equipment, spoke in a low voice.
“The situation can’t get any worse.” Batman watched the intense battle in the distance while modifying the spear, adding many things that Ian and the others couldn’t understand.
The battle between Titan Doomsday and Superman had lasted for a full ten minutes.
In this short period.
The earth was torn by ravines hundreds of thousands of meters long, mountains collapsed, the sky was polluted by fel energy into a strange green, and the air was filled with the scent of decay.
“We need someone among us to get close and then stab it into Titan.” Batman’s speed was very fast, and he attached a syringe with a special substance to the tip of the spear.
The spear shaft was wrapped with things Ian couldn’t understand.
“Leave it to me!”
Ian squinted.
When his ray reached the intermediate level.
It could already curve in the air and provide buffs to Superman.
“I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
Seeing Batman about to hand the equipment to Wonder Woman, Ian quickly snatched the spear from Batman’s hand, but this did not cause any emotional fluctuation from Batman.
“This is the only chance, I really have no backup plan,” Batman took the opportunity to warn Ian. He actually felt that Ian was the most suitable candidate.
“Don’t worry, I will live up to your expectations—if someone needs to sacrifice, it can only be me… this is my heroic quality.” Ian said righteously.
With a tone of preparing to die heroically.
Borrowing a teacher’s famous quote is not borrowing.
This is called inheriting the teacher’s classic.
It’s actually a virtue.
“Hmm?” Wonder Woman raised an eyebrow. “You say that? Are you implying that no one here knows you’re immortal? You told Doomsday with a strange laugh before that you were immortal.”
She paused slightly.
“And you seemed to enjoy getting beaten up.” Wonder Woman’s tone was not teasing, but rather a tone of deep emotion and ambiguous meaning.
Ian, having been exposed, became enraged.
“I’m the MVP, Aunt Diana is a lucky dog, and Aunt Diana is not qualified to talk about me.” Ian grabbed the spear, continuing to supply heat rays to his father, and looked at Batman.
“I need some final supplies.”
He spoke with feigned seriousness, his eyes deep, as if he were about to face the end of his destiny.
He spoke in a deliberately deep voice, his eyes profound, as if he were about to embark on the end of his fate.
“……”
Batman glanced at Ian, saying nothing. The capitalist knew that to get people to work, you needed to offer benefits, so he quietly walked behind Wonder Woman Diana.
He reached out and took.
Batman took a Superman potion from behind Diana.
“When did you—?”
Diana touched her back in shock.
“No way?”
Cyborg instinctively checked his body.
He picked a micro-bomb out of a gap in his armor. Green Lantern did the same, but found nothing. He searched himself for a long time and came up with nothing.
This did not ease Green Lantern’s mind.
His face grew even more grim—finding nothing was the most terrifying thing. Not finding it didn’t mean it wasn’t there; on the contrary, it meant that in Batman’s mind, he was someone to be more cautiously guarded against.
Having such a reliable mentally ill teammate.
Green Lantern was both annoyed and helpless.
“Alright! I’m going to sacrifice myself! Sacrifice is the destiny of a hero.” Ian gulped down the Superman potion, and his experience surged rapidly. He saw that he was just a little bit away from leveling up again.
【Savage Tyrant LV9 [2105/2560] 】
He didn’t drain Batman any further.
Because Superman, who had received the second wave of amplification, was gradually falling behind. Ian knew it was time to help his father. Besides, Batman’s old home was always in Gotham.
“Everyone, remember me.”
Ian rose into the air.
Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Cyborg all watched him.
Only Batman squinted.
“You want to join the Justice League, right… Your father would never agree.” Batman had seen through everything, which made Ian’s sudden anger tend towards exasperation.
“If you don’t let me join the Justice League! I’ll create a new Justice League myself, and don’t you dare call me crazy then!” After speaking, Ian shot straight up into the sky and collided with the Titan Doomsday.
He turned into a white afterimage.
On the battlefield, the storm raged.
The Titan Doomsday stomped down, nearly crushing Superman into the ground. Green flames burned in his eyes, a mocking smile on his lips, though his gaze held some apprehension.
“You again, little bug.”
He raised his hand.
Intending to swat Ian away.
But this time.
Superman blocked the attack a step ahead.
Superman, who had already heard them planning, naturally knew what his youngest son was planning to do.
“Hurry!”
Superman, veins bulging, shouted.
Ian charged and teleported.
He displayed a flight rhythm like a fast-and-slow blade.
He arrived at the Titan’s back of the neck.
“Scram!” The Titan Doomsday tried to grab him, but Superman blocked one hand. Wonder Woman and a host of superheroes also flew forward, cooperating to restrain the Titan’s other hand.
The main force on this side was Wonder Woman.
Her divine power was being pushed to its absolute limit.
She barely managed to slow the Titan’s hand movements with the others—this indeed bought Ian enough time. Without further ado, Ian simply raised his spear.
He also infused his divine power into the spear, forming an incredibly brilliant barrier on the spear that isolated the Fel Energy from Doomsday’s body surface from potentially corroding the spear.
The next second.
*Thwack!!*
The spear deeply pierced the back of the Titan Doomsday’s neck!
Fel Energy surged wildly.
【Berserker Experience Points +14】
【Berserker Experience Points +16】
【Berserker Experience Points +18】
The Fel Energy gushing from the wound was furiously destroying Ian’s body.
However.
They could not kill Ian.
【Corrupted data cleared】
They couldn’t even contaminate Ian.
Instead, it made Ian a little stronger.
【Berserker LV8 [78/1280] 】
【Strength: 281—284】
【Constitution: 330—335】
【Intelligence: 20.7—20.8】
【Spirit: 108.5—110】
【Level Up Reward: Profession Skill Points +1】
How should I put it.
The attribute boost from Berserker was indeed a bit weak, but it was better than nothing. Along with leveling up, Ian also regained his status and slightly increased his strength.
“No!”
Amidst a deafening shriek.
Golden-red patterns appeared on the Titan Doomsday’s body. Golden light fiercely clashed with green Fel Energy, an invisible war unfolding within the Titan Doomsday’s body.
Clearly, Batman was more reliable than Iron Man. The soul of the Kryptonian Ancient God was successfully awakened, and the two souls began to tear at each other within the same body.
One was Sargeras, representing Fel Energy, and the other was an Ancient God with golden-red power. They vied for control of this vessel, and a terrifying energy storm once again ravaged the wilderness.
Terrifying shockwaves surged.
“In this world, true heroes are often not the strongest, nor the most intelligent, but the ones willing to sacrifice for others.”
“Paladin Ian may not be a hero in the traditional sense, but he proved what courage, responsibility, and faith are in his own way—he is a spark of hope.”
“This battle will also become a part of legend.”
A voice sounded.
“*Whoosh~*”
Superman flew over.
Catching Ian, who had fallen from the Titan Doomsday.
“No one narrates for themselves!” Clark really didn’t know how many more tricks his youngest son had. He clearly knew Ian could fly and wasn’t truly injured.
Yet, this guy still acted as if he were a hero falling into the sea.
What was the point?
There were no reporter cameras filming!
“????”
“??????”
“???????”
Not only did Superman find it incomprehensible, but even the other League members were bewildered upon hearing the narration. They looked around and finally found a black box suspended in mid-air.
This thing was clearly filming.
Wonder Woman leaned in.
She discovered that it even knew how to add dramatic effects and sound effects.
A viral artifact?
The Amazon was greatly astonished.
“Where did you hide this thing before?”
Clark also saw the black box, his expression of confusion only deepening. He distinctly remembered seeing Ian thrown out earlier, with no clothes left on his body.
“Secret.”
Ian blinked.
The appendix is really useful.
He still wanted to ask if he could join the Justice League this time, as, according to Batman, his father was the one in charge of the Justice League now.
“Rumble~”
A huge roar sounded at this moment.
The two souls within the Titan were fighting for ownership of the body, and also for the concept of “existence” in the universe. Their struggle caused the massive Doomsday body to let out layers of roars.
Shockwaves followed one after another.
“*Whoosh whoosh whoosh~*”
The wind howled.
Batman, as expected.
Was prepared.
The shield plunged deep into the ground blocked the shockwave for him.
Preventing him from being sent flying backward again.
“Who will be the victor?”
This was the only thing the ill-informed Batman couldn’t determine. He struggled to lift his head, looking into the distance. The giant Titan was already half-kneeling on the ground.
“If my universe were not shattered, how could you mere ants be worthy of being my enemies!” The Dark Titan Sargeras roared, the surrounding air distorting amidst the surge of Fel Energy.
At the energy core of Doomsday’s body.
The Ancient God’s golden-red power was on the verge of gaining the upper hand. The Dark Titan, still temporarily in control of the body, was unwilling. It suddenly tilted its head back, opening its mouth to an unbelievable angle.
“Now, I need more fuel to define my existence!”
As the Titan roared.
A green beam of light, a hundred meters in diameter, shot straight into the sky.
The sky was quickly dyed green as if painted, and viscous clouds began to rain strangely—in reality, those were not raindrops, but small Doomsdays, each three to four meters tall!
They possessed no intelligence, only instinct—to kill, destroy, and devour.
Their target was the city.
To collect the concept of life’s existence for their master.
“*Crash!*”
Thousands of quasi-creatures fell like hail onto the city. Upon landing, they immediately began to prey on “fuel.” A commuter had barely run two steps before being grabbed by the shoulder by a small Doomsday. Visible green energy was drawn from his seven orifices. His body rapidly became transparent, and he finally vanished into the air like a chalk drawing being erased.
“Go to the city and save people!”
Superman punched the Titan in the face.
Attempting to make the Titan Doomsday shut its mouth.
He dared not leave the main battlefield.
The others didn’t hesitate. Even Batman rushed towards the city—at the same time, at the edge of the battlefield, Jordan, who had been repeatedly blown away by the wind with his mother, noticed something was wrong.
“Mom! Look!”
He picked up his mother for the third time, preparing to set off again.
However.
He saw monsters covering the sky and falling to the ground.
“Their target is the city!”
Jordan pointed in the direction of the city.
His voice trembled.
Lois’s face instantly turned ashen.
“Put me down! I’ll go find Clark, you take care of Jonathan and the others.” She still wanted to remind Clark, but the sudden turn of events caught her off guard.
Fortunately, Lois had encountered similar situations before.
So she made a decisive decision.
However.
“No!” Jordan grabbed her and held her.
“It’s too dangerous here. Mom, you’re just a normal person. We don’t want to be orphans yet!” With that, Jordan shot into the sky, his heat vision sweeping across the street like a scythe.
He cut two small Doomsdays in half as they were feeding—these were not true Doomsdays, but merely quasi-creatures created by Fel Energy, so Jordan’s heat vision could barely destroy them.
“What happened?”
Jonathan and Madison were rescued by Ian’s Hellcat during the disaster and flew above their home, avoiding the attack. He saw Jordan and his mother flying back.
Countless small Doomsdays rained down from the sky.
They crashed between tall buildings, shattering glass facades and tearing through rebar and concrete. Screams erupted from the streets, and cries of panic spread among the fleeing crowds.
“The city has been invaded! Those things are killing!” Jordan replied to Jonathan on Hellcat. He didn’t see The Flash because The Flash was not family and was denied transport.
Poor Uncle Barry was still lying in the rubble.
On the ground.
Wonder Woman leaped up, her shield sweeping horizontally, blasting away several small Doomsdays lunging at civilians. Green Lantern condensed a massive energy barrier, attempting to block the Doomsdays’ attack route—even Aquaman and his wife, after recovering, were using their heavily injured bodies to intercept these monsters hunting people.
The Flash couldn’t move.
The Flash had broken bones all over his body.
The Flash’s bones were all broken.
Throwing lightning doesn’t have that ability.
He was almost attacked, but Jordan saved him.
“Don’t worry about me, go save the others.”
The Flash displayed true sacrificial spirit. On the streets, the superheroes were very efficient. Jordan was less efficient, but he was ultimately doing something he disliked.
Meddling.
“Sizzle sizzle~”
Jordan carried Lois through the broken streets, his heat vision constantly scanning the swarming small Doomsdays. A mother holding a baby crawled out of the rubble and thanked him tremblingly.
“Thank you.”
Upon hearing this.
Jordan paused for a moment.
He, who was usually aloof in front of outsiders, didn’t respond, just nodded, and continued searching for survivors. As he turned the corner, his flying form suddenly stopped—it was his classmate Tommy, the bastard who used to stuff dead mice into his locker, now cornered by three small Doomsdays and trembling.
“Jordan. My child,” Lois patted her son’s shoulder. She knew what Jordan was hesitating about. “I know you don’t like him, but that’s no reason for him to die.”
Jordan was silent for two seconds.
His heat vision erupted.
It precisely pierced the heads of the three monsters.
He landed in front of Tommy.
Looking at the other’s frightened expression.
“Th-thank you! Walmart Plastic Bag Superman!”
Tommy stared at the supermarket shopping bag Jordan had on his head.
He thanked him haltingly.
Jordan said nothing.
He turned and carried his mother again, continuing his flight.
“I still don’t like that guy. He actually thinks Ian and I like that nickname,” he said to his mother, his tone laced with a hint of annoyance.
Lois replied softly.
“To be able to save someone you don’t like, that’s what a hero is. I’m proud of you, son.” She soothed Jordan’s irritable mood, and Jordan’s feelings gradually became less indignant.
Jordan’s efficiency wasn’t high.
But he still managed to save quite a few people.
Among the younger generation, the most efficient at dealing with monsters was the awakened witch.
She had area-of-effect skills.
“Damn it! I was supposed to be a movie star! Why am I saving people here! Will saving people let me buy a Ferrari when I grow up?” Madison had originally intended to find her parents.
However.
The streets were too chaotic.
She looked into the distance—a Bichon Frise held by a little girl was becoming transparent. She cried out, reaching for it, but her fingers passed through the gradually fading plush toy.
The small Doomsday’s target was then this little girl.
Seeing this scene.
“Where are the cameras! Why isn’t any reporter holding a camera to film me!”
Madison gritted her teeth.
She quickly raised her hands, her blonde hair flowing as if by wind, and the magic of the Sorceress Supreme flowed in her pupils. In the next moment, the heads and butts of dozens of Doomsdays were suddenly connected.
Mouths attached to butts.
The small Doomsdays were completely unable to move and couldn’t help their master absorb the concept of existence. The little girl was saved, and Madison breathed a sigh of relief as she looked around.
The army had also intervened.
Three M1A2 main battle tanks crushed through the convenience store ruins and opened fire. Armor-piercing rounds turned a line of small Doomsdays into green slurry. But more monsters poured out from the alleyways. They grabbed the tank barrels and twisted them gently—the steel deformed like plasticine. The crew members had just climbed out of the hatches when they were engulfed by green mist, their bodies beginning to become transparent.
“Hold on!” a lieutenant covered in blood raised his rifle and fired. “For Metropolis!”
The bullets hit the small Doomsdays like a tickle, but the soldiers kept firing. This wasn’t due to stupidity. When a major used the last of his strength to detonate an armored vehicle’s fuel tank, destroying three monsters, everyone understood—these soldiers were using their lives to buy civilians even an extra second to escape.
This was not a war of aggression.
Nor was it a meaningless war.
The soldiers’ morale was somewhat faltering, but they gritted their teeth and held on. After all, many of the troops stationed in Metropolis had already settled in the city.
They weren’t protecting strangers; they were protecting their children and families. An unjust army certainly couldn’t win any war, but when defending their homes, most soldiers possessed an incredibly firm heart.
This universe.
Was, after all, a world colored by heroes.
“Those things are devouring people’s lives!”
On the distant battlefield.
Superman witnessed all of this, his eyes red.
He was anxious.
Yet afraid to leave.
After all, this was a greater crisis, one capable of destroying Earth. Of course, this crisis didn’t seem very terrifying now, but no one could say for sure when it would erupt. Doomsday’s massive body seemed to have hit a pause button, with only the constantly changing green and gold light on its surface indicating the internal battle still raging.
“God knows how long their body-possession battle will take to end,” Ian floated in mid-air, a medicine bottle in his mouth, his gaze locked on the colossal body.
“Perhaps… we can end this soul struggle sooner.”
He said in a low voice.
His mind was racing.
“How do we end it? Did you find a special way?” Superman quickly turned to look at his young son, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety.
He knew.
Even though this kid was often unreliable.
He always managed to create miracles at the most unexpected times.
“The Kryptonian Ancient God has been forced to restrain the Dark Titan for us, so we have time to find and destroy the essence and anchor of that Titan’s existence.” Ian patted the Titan’s temple. The touch was like striking some kind of metal, and he pondered how to enter the internal workings of the creature’s body and head.
“That black orb we encountered before?” Superman also recalled their previous experience, his X-ray vision scanning continuously, yet he still couldn’t see any black orb.
“Yes, but finding it is the problem.” Ian didn’t use X-ray vision, so he couldn’t determine the black orb’s location. Such a black orb might even exist only within the soul.
“Perhaps in the brain?”
This was Superman’s guess based on recalled information, which coincided with Ian’s. He remembered seeing that black orb twice, both times coalescing from the area of a host’s brain.
“Sizzle sizzle~”
At this thought.
Superman flew to the Titan’s head and attempted to open its skull directly with his heat vision. It was useless; the Titan Doomsday had long evolved an immunity to heat vision after their prolonged fight.
“Let me try this.” Ian found his unfinished lollipop on the battlefield, that blue Kryptonite spear, its tip still faintly glowing with energy.
Not much left.
But there was still some residue.
Ian didn’t choose the spot on the father’s skull; he flew directly to the back of the Titan’s head and, like chiseling ice with an ice pick, forcefully drove the Kryptonite into the Titan’s occiput.
A grating sound of tearing metal echoed, and the Titan’s skin finally split open a crack.
“I’ll help you!” Superman immediately seized the opportunity, plunging his hands into the opened crevice, his muscles bulging, tearing the wound open to a size large enough for a person.
“Can you find it?”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Superman’s forehead.
He knew that between him and Ian, Ian was much more knowledgeable about magical matters. Ian peered into the bloody, mangled opening, where the writhing brain tissue emitted an unnatural green glow.
“I’ll try.”
Ian was also very serious at this moment, showing no trace of his usual flippancy. Metropolis was, after all, the city he lived in, so he was very eager to quickly resolve the threat of the Dark Titan.
The Titan’s internal mindscape was more bizarre than imagined.
Floating neurons in viscous green liquid emitted light, each discharge reflecting a twisted cosmic panorama. Ian struggled forward in the mucus, attempting to summon his system.
However.
The system prompt indicated it was searching.
But it did not find the data information he wanted.
The Dark Titan hid its essence very deeply.
“Then let me eat this Doomsday’s entire brain!” Just as Ian was preparing to use the most primitive method, the pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a dark glow.
“What is this?”
Ian could feel a certain power attaching itself to his hand.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
In a black and white world.
Countless black streams of air converged from all directions, forming a pulsating black orb in his palm. The surface of the orb displayed myriad stars, yet within it was a void of emptiness.
This was not Miss Death acting.
It was the long-silent Death Knight who offered Ian help.
“Ahhh!”
The Titan suddenly let out a deafening scream, and the entire internal mindscape violently trembled. The green mucus rapidly faded, and then began to glow with a golden-red light.
“Who! Who is destroying my anchor of existence!” Its roar received no response. The green brain was turning golden-red, and the Kryptonian Ancient God was suppressing the weakening Titan.
Ian did not reply.
The black orb in his hand was gradually condensing.
It was a residual gleam of the cosmos.
“Detected mergeable data!”
A voice he had heard long ago reappeared. Ian remembered that the last time he obtained a black orb, the system prompted him, and the Goddess of Death took that black orb away.
He didn’t know what processing was done.
Regardless, Ian now obtained another cosmic fragment from the same world.
His godfather was more generous than that bad woman.
The Death Knight did not take this black orb.
Thus.
Ian hesitated not at all and directly opened his mouth, swallowing the entire black orb. In that instant, he felt as if countless energies were attempting to explode in his stomach, granting him a massive amount of experience points belonging to the Berserker.
However.
The system absorbed this explosive power in the next second.
“Obtained complete profession correction data.”
“Obtained dimension data.”
“Base information for the Berserker profession has been updated.”
“Profession traits are being recorded…”
“Dimension data is being extracted…”
