Chapter 232: Chapter 116: Justice League, How to Break the Deadlock? Part 2

But the heat vision did not stop. It continued to shoot forward, accurately striking the LexCorp building behind Luthor. The LEX logo at the top of the building was instantly vaporized.

Immediately after, a violent explosion echoed from the middle floors of the building. Flames shot up into the sky accompanied by billowing thick smoke, and glass shards rained down.

Rumble!

The building began to tilt from the point of fracture, and the sound of twisting steel rebar could be heard clearly across the square.

The entire city of Metropolis was trembling, and the thick smoke obscured half the sky like a giant black dragon.

The corner of Alex’s mouth curled into a mocking smirk.

How was this the Superman in his memory who firmly adhered to the no-kill rule?

He was clearly an enhanced version of Homelander; he even appeared more evil than Homelander.

Publicly establishing a divine kingdom on Earth, executing political opponents in broad daylight, and even destroying an innocent building with complete disregard for the civilians who might be caught in the crossfire.

In his memory, even when facing a sworn enemy like Luthor, Superman would restrain his killing intent and hand him over to the law for a fair trial.

But the being before him had long since become a slave to power and authority.

Seeing Superman execute Lex Luthor, the crowd in the square instantly erupted into even more fanatical cheers and praises!

"Long live Superman!"

"The great guardian of order!"

"Praise the holy Kal-El!"

The fanatical power of faith and the worship of absolute power intertwined in the air, forming a twisted field.

Anyone who dared to question him at this moment, or even reveal a single trace of disrespect in their eyes, would be swallowed alive by this collective fanaticism.

Alex’s black eyes pierced through the crowd, coldly locking onto Superman hovering above the high platform.

He did not attack rashly.

The abilities of the other Justice League members were also extremely formidable.

Cyborg’s computational power could track targets globally; Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth could bind divinity; Aquaman’s trident could command the oceans; Martian Manhunter’s mental power could predict attacks; Shazam’s lightning could interrupt spellcasting; and Green Lantern’s willpower constructs could build defensive walls.

Even if Alex donned the Aquarius Divine Cloth and forced an attack, he might not be able to instantly kill Superman.

If Superman managed to escape, or if it drew out even more ancient and powerful entities from the DC Universe, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Alex was not here to conquer this universe; he only wanted Superman’s life.

"A frontal assault... the success rate is not high."

Alex’s consciousness, like a cold and clear stream, instantly analyzed all the disadvantageous factors.

The target was incredibly strong, the escort lineup was so luxurious it was practically unbeatable, and both the geographical advantage and popular support were on the enemy’s side.

A forceful attack was the worst possible plan. He had to exploit his fatal weakness... Green Kryptonite.

But even with Green Kryptonite, he couldn’t act recklessly. How could he bypass Superman’s guardians and accurately bring that green rock close to Superman, pulling him down from his pedestal to the mortal realm?

This required an opportunity—a perfect opportunity to instantly shatter their defenses and balance...

Unfortunately, Lex Luthor was dead. He should have been one of the humans in this world who possessed Kryptonite.

Fortunately, Alex did not see Batman among the Justice League.

With Bruce Wayne’s intellect, he would never be deceived by this fake Superman. He must be secretly accumulating power, searching for an opportunity to strike back.

Therefore, the key to breaking the deadlock should lie with Batman.

Alex’s figure retreated like a ghost into the shadows of the seething crowd at the edge of the square.

Silently and unnoticed by anyone, he slowly vanished from sight...
