On a high platform lashed by violent wind, photographs flew everywhere.
A god among men knelt before an ordinary man burning with vengeance who has finally achieved his goal.
Rain scattered through the air, thunders dancing on the beat of an enraged dark shadow.
Tonight is a fight between a God and a Mortal. Today, the Day fights the Night.
The son of Krypton versus the Bat of Gotham.
In the thunder-and-lightning-filled night sky, a blue figure appeared in the rain curtain, then landed on the ground.
Wearing steel armor, the eyes of the helmet shining bright as daylight, the Bat spread his hands.
"I'm here."
"Didn't you want to kill me?"
"Go ahead."
Clark shook his head, "Bruce, don't do this."
"You have to listen to me."
"Lex just wants us to—"
Before he could finish speaking, ultrasonic devices suddenly rose on both sides, launching sonic attacks at Superman.
Under the pincer attack, Clark had no choice but to cover his ears.
He then grabbed a manhole cover from the ground, tore it into two pieces, and threw them like frisbees, destroying the devices on both sides.
But at that moment, automatic cannons rose up again, forming crossfire and launching a fierce assault on Superman.
Clark flew into the air and fired red beams from his eyes, sweeping them around and destroying all the automatic cannons.
Just as Batman and Superman were manipulated by Lex and began fighting fiercely, a figure descended into the abandoned building behind the battlefield.
He landed beside a spear.
Alex glanced at the kryptonite spear planted in the ground. He whistled softly, then picked it up and lightly touched the spearhead with his fingertip.
The kryptonite spear only caused the skin at Alex's fingertip to dent slightly, but it couldn't pierce his skin.
"A weapon specially designed to counter Kryptonians. A divine weapon that can even kill Doomsday."
"Finally, we meet."
"If that's the case, after this event ends, the shop should unlock something similar or maybe an upgraded version, right?"
This was the second step in Alex's plan.
That was to come into contact with as many people or objects involved in this event as possible. That way, once the event ended, related items would appear in his shop.
Alex then looked toward the two figures outside.
At that moment Clark broke through the rain curtain, grabbed Batman, and smashed into the building.
Immediately a loud rumbling sound of destruction came from above his head. It looked like Clark had slammed Batman onto the rooftop.
Alex picked up the spear, flew out of the building, then rose into the night sky and headed toward the rooftop.
On the rooftop, Batman had smashed the projection light. The giant bat symbol in the sky was gone.
Clark shouted, "Don't move. If I really wanted to attack, you'd already be dead."
Batman ignored him completely. He took out a smoke grenade and was about to throw it when a voice sounded above them.
"He's right."
"Even if you're wearing that armor, you're still not his opponent."
Clark and Bruce Wayne raised their heads at the same time.
In the rain-filled darkness of the night sky, a black figure stood in midair.
Lightning flashed across the sky above his head from time to time, illuminating the golden patterns running across the black combat suit on the man's body, as well as the abstract symbol representing the letter "K."
"You?"
Clark would never forget the battle in the desert earlier that day, nor the figure before him who matched him in nearly every aspect.
Bruce Wayne's gaze, however, fell on the kryptonite spear in the man's hand.
He immediately concluded the man was not Kryptonian.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare hold the spear.
"Who are you?"
Batman's voice was deep and magnetic. Even Alex had to admit that Bruce Wayne had a very masculine presence.
"Who I am isn't important."
"What matters is… can I join this game?"
As he spoke, Alex landed on the rooftop, forming a triangle with Bruce and Clark.
Batman suddenly threw the smoke grenade toward Alex.
Alex laughed loudly and kicked it with his foot, sending it flying like a shooting star that vanished instantly into the night.
At that moment Clark rushed forward and slammed into Alex, the collision sending waves rippling outward as Alex was blasted backward.
"Stop!"
"There's no time!"
Clark wanted to explain the situation, but suddenly he reached out and caught a bullet fired from a special gun by Bruce.
The bullet suddenly exploded, releasing a cloud of green smoke.
It was a special kryptonite bullet.
Clark's whole body immediately trembled. He dropped to his knees as if suffocating, and even the breath he exhaled came out green.
Batman strode toward Superman.
But Alex suddenly flew back and rammed into Bruce, knocking him aside.
Bruce first flew a certain distance. Just as he was about to land, a ring of water exploded outward at the impact point. Under the effect of this "double shock," the armored Batman was blasted right off the rooftop.
At that moment, a line of information appeared on Alex's retina.
[Your "Super Strength +2" proficiency is full.]
[Upgraded to "Divine Strength"!]
'As expected, fighting strong opponents increases proficiency quickly.'
He had fought Superman in the morning, and now with just a bit more action, "Super Strength" had upgraded.
Alex clearly felt a massive power surging up from deep within his body, instantly filling his limbs and every bone, making him feel like he could smash a planet with a single punch.
This was Alex's reason for "joining the game."
It was also the third step of his plan.
To temper himself against powerful opponents and rapidly increase the proficiency of all his abilities.
For this reason, he had left the Kryptonian ship's master control key with Lex.
Doomsday would be his grand feast.
At that moment Bruce, who had been knocked off the rooftop, returned using a grappling gun.
Then he fired the grappling gun again, hooking a water tower not far from Alex, and swung toward him with the momentum.
Batman roared and kicked both feet hard at Alex.
Bang!
Even with the steel armor, Batman's full-force kick landed on Alex without causing the slightest pain.
Alex turned his head and looked at Batman's foot.
"Don't you have something called manners?"
After saying that, he grabbed Batman's foot, raised his arm, and then slammed it downward.
BOOM!
Batman, still wearing the steel armor, was smashed directly into the building by Alex.
Under the effect of "Divine Strength," Batman's momentum didn't stop. He crashed through floor after floor until finally landing in the lobby, smashing the ground into a small crater like a meteor impact.
At this moment, inside the lobby, Batman's armor sparked with electricity, and many parts of it were already deformed.
Inside the armor, Bruce let out a groan and couldn't get back up for the moment.
Meanwhile, Lex Luthor had arrived at the Kryptonian ship carrying the corpse of the Kryptonian general. At the console, he saw the master control key.
At the same time, Daily Planet reporter Lois arrived in the night sky by helicopter.
From above, she saw a dark figure on the rooftop firing golden lasers, blasting her Clark into the building.
The golden beam sliced diagonally through the building, pushing Superman thousands of meters away.
Wherever the beam swept across, explosions erupted into fireballs.
The blazing flames illuminated the dark figure.
Holding the kryptonite spear, that silhouette looked like a demon that had emerged from hell.
