Storm, Poison Ivy, and Aquaman, as if injected with adrenaline, unleashed terrifying energy once more, dragging Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and others back into a quagmire of fierce fighting!
The chaos in Gotham City has not subsided; instead, it has intensified, become more bloody, and more unpredictable than the events of 9/17!
The heroes of the Justice League are once again on the verge of despair and collapse!
They don't understand!
Why is this happening? !
Why did those villains suddenly become so strong?!
Could it be... that there's an even more powerful mastermind behind them?!
And the one who "started" all of this!
Lin Tian!
He remained high above, leisurely enjoying the chaotic spectacle he had personally ignited and "upgraded"! A cold yet delighted smile graced his face, as if he were watching a group of pitiful creatures whom he had manipulated without their knowledge.
That's exactly how he intends to use it! To continuously erode the Justice League's strength and will!
Let them oscillate between hope and despair!
Let them gradually see the "cruel truth" of this world through endless battles and sacrifices!
Let them finally understand! The so-called "justice" and "hero"!
In this world filled with power and desire, how insignificant and laughable we are!
Only by submitting to a more powerful being can one obtain true "peace" and "redemption"!
And that even more powerful being… is none other than him! Lin Tian!
Lin Tian looked down at the "heroes" and "villains" struggling in blood and fire! His eyes gleamed with a cold light, like that of a demon king, filled with greed and a desire for control!
These... will all contribute to his future rule over this universe!
The most precious... pieces! And... nutrients!
Under Lin Tian's covert manipulation and skillful maneuvering, Gotham City's "Feast of the Demon King" has completely evolved into a massive meat grinder that has swept across the entire city and affected all forces!
After the initial glimmer of hope, the heroes of the Justice League were quickly dragged back into a quagmire of bitter battle by the villains who had also received Lin Tian's "secret funding" and whose strength had increased dramatically!
Their physical strength was rapidly depleting! Their will was being constantly crushed! Their proud beliefs and sense of justice appeared so fragile and vulnerable in the face of this cruel reality filled with betrayal, scheming, and endless slaughter!
Superman Clark Kent, once a god among men, is now like a trapped beast, relentlessly suppressed in the ruins of the city by Storm's raging lightning, which seems to unleash the power of heaven and earth, and Poison Ivy's endless army of plants, brimming with venom and corrosive power! Every attempt to break free only invites more ferocious attacks! Even his prized steel body is showing tiny cracks under the constant erosion of these two forces, both approaching the level of laws!
The "mirror image battle" between the two Wonder Women, Diana and Jean Grey, has been completely transformed due to Lin Tian's earlier "sisterly unity against the enemy" brainwashing and the continued influence of Jean Grey's more subtle and powerful "Phoenix Force mental link." It's no longer a simple life-or-death struggle, but has become a...exchange filled with competition, jealousy, and even a slightly morbid "performance urge"?! They both seem to want to show a stronger, more charming side to the man who might be "watching" them? They've even begun to unconsciously imitate some of each other's fighting techniques and expressions? This bizarre relationship of "assimilation" and "competition" makes their battle more unpredictable, and also more...spectacular?
Batman, Bruce Wayne, is completely caught in the Joker's increasingly insane and deadly "game"! The drug-addled Joker not only possesses increased strength and speed, but his mental state has also become more chaotic and irrational! He's no longer satisfied with simple explosions and destruction! Instead, he begins using various high-tech weapons and extremely cruel psychological tactics to subject Batman to comprehensive "psychological torture"! He even takes Commissioner Gordon and several people Batman cares about hostage, forcing Batman to make a painful choice between "saving" and "destroying"!
As for the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and other heroes, they are all facing dire situations! They are not only facing villains whose power has also increased dramatically, but also the pervasive cyberattacks and misinformation from "Zero"! And the occasional "guest appearances" and "kicking someone when they're down" by Lin Tian's queens!
The entire city of Gotham has been completely transformed into a gigantic, lawless, and bloody arena!
Heroes and villains! Light and darkness! Hope and despair!
They're all here! Engaging in a final, frenzied slaughter!
And the "mastermind" and "final judge" behind all of this!
Lin Tian!
He remained seated atop the skyscraper, hidden by illusions and barriers!
His face wore a joyful smile, as if he were watching the most exciting drama!
Savoring fine wine! Enjoying the service of the queens! Coldly observing the hellish scene below!
He could feel it clearly!
As the battle continues, the "light" and "faith" in the hearts of those heroes are being worn away little by little! In their place comes endless exhaustion, despair, and an extreme thirst for power!
And those villains! Fueled by their surging power and the thrill of slaughter! They became even more insane! More bloodthirsty! And even more… dependent on the mysterious entity that "bestowed" their power!
Excellent! Everything is going according to his plan! It's proceeding perfectly!
What he wants is not just to defeat them, to conquer them, but also to... completely destroy their original worldview and values!
Then, upon their ruins, he will establish a brand new Dark Order that belongs to Lin Tian!
"It's almost time."
Lin Tian looked down at the "farce" that was nearing its end, a cold yet authoritative smile spreading across his face.
"It's time... to end this game."
He slowly stood up!
It was a force far more terrifying, more vast, and closer to the very origin of the universe than any before!
The supreme pressure of the Nascent Soul realm erupted from his body in an instant!
Like an invisible tidal wave! It swept through the entire city of Gotham in an instant! Even… the entire Earth?!
boom--! ! !
at this moment!
Whether it's the heroes struggling to hold on, or the villains wreaking havoc, whether it's the ordinary citizens of Gotham City, or the world's leaders on the other side of the globe, whether it's the secret organization lurking in the shadows of Earth (BFBI), or those spying from other dimensions or extraterrestrials, all beings who sense this oppressive force feel as if their souls are being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!
Thoughts stalled! Difficulty breathing! Even the body was unable to move!
It was as if the entire world had been put on pause at that moment!
Only that god-like figure! Slowly! Descended from the sky! Landed in the heart of Gotham City!
He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind. His face wore an expression that was both indifferent and dignified. His gaze calmly swept over the ravaged battlefield below, and over the "ants" trembling with fear.
Then! He spoke!
The voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly penetrated the depths of every being's soul, like a final judgment!
"This farce..."
"That's it."
"From today onwards..."
In Lin Tian's eyes, a light as deep and cold as the universe shone!
"This world..."
"What is coming..."
"A new master!"
Lin Tian's words, like a divine pronouncement, filled with unquestionable authority, echoed in the silent Gotham City, striking heavily in the hearts of every survivor and plunging them into an endless abyss of despair!
A new master?! He actually wants to... rule the world?!
Looking at the man who was suspended in mid-air, exuding a terrifying pressure that seemed to be tangible, and who easily quelled the entire disaster as if his words were law!
Everyone understands! He wasn't joking!
He possesses the absolute power to achieve this audacious goal!
Resist? Is there any point in it anymore?
Even a "god among men" like Superman is as vulnerable as an ant before him! What can these remnants of his army possibly do?
Fear, helplessness, and a twisted sense of relief? began to spread in the hearts of the survivors.
Perhaps... surrendering to such a god-like being is not entirely a bad thing?
At least… he seems capable of bringing “order”? Even if it’s… a dark order?
Just as everyone was lost in despair and confusion, with their own thoughts in turmoil,
Lin Tian spoke again.
This time, his voice carried a hint of "benevolence" and "blessing".
“Of course,” he said, looking at the ashen-faced “ants” below, a playful smile curving his lips, “I am not an unreasonable tyrant.”
"I will give you... the right to choose."
“Or…” A cold killing intent flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes, “like those damned scumbags, disappear completely from this world.”
“Either…” his voice became seductive and alluring, “swear allegiance to me.”
"To become the cornerstone of my new era."
"I will grant you... power beyond your imagination! To free you from the shackles of the past! To grant you true 'freedom' and 'new life'!"
"Even..." Lin Tian's gaze swept over those heroes who once represented "justice," a devilish smile spreading across his face, "...to make you...the managers of this 'new order'?"
Lin Tian's words, brimming with both "gratitude and severity" and "sweet talk," once again struck a heavy blow to the hearts of every survivor!
Death? Or rebirth?
Destruction? Or... to gain greater power and become a superior being?
This choice is not a problem at all for those who are already walking on the edge of darkness, or whose hearts have already wavered in their belief in "justice"!
"I...I am willing to pledge my loyalty! To my great master!"
The first person to kneel down in front of Lin Tian was... the clown!
This guy, who had just gone mad because his plan was ruined, was now prostrating himself before Lin Tian like the most devout believer, expressing his "loyalty" with the most fervent gesture.
He seemed to see in Lin Tian a kind of "chaos" and "control" that was even purer and more extreme than his own!
This gave him an unprecedented feeling of excitement and...a sense of belonging?!
Next!
Catwoman Selena Gomez! Poison Ivy Pamela Rex! Penguin Oswald! And other Gotham City mob bosses and supervillains! They all fell to their knees like toppled dominoes! Shouting "Long live the King!"
They are all intelligent people! They know that in the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile! Rather than being ruthlessly annihilated, they choose to submit! Cling to this newly emerged powerful force! Perhaps… they can even get a share of the spoils in the future "new order"?
Even those "catastrophe-level" beings that Lin Tian had "inadvertently" attracted before, after witnessing Lin Tian's terrifying methods—like a creator god—that could easily reverse destruction and reshape reality, were all affected!
They all restrained their arrogance and chose... a temporary... "wait and see" and "neutrality"?
They knew! This man! Was someone they could not afford to offend!
Now! The pressure is on the Justice League!
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and other heroes! Behold this absurd scene of chaos and destruction before them, where everything is surrendering!
My heart was filled with endless sorrow, anger, and... a slight wavering?!
Is... this world really about to change drastically?
Could it be that... the "justice" and "faith" they have always upheld are really... worthless?
“Clark…” Diana looked at Superman beside her, who was still struggling, trembling all over, yet refusing to kneel down! Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
She knew! Superman's pride! Superman's faith! were facing an unprecedented test!
But Batman, Bruce Wayne, remained silent!
But those eyes hidden beneath the mask shone with a light deeper and...madness than ever before!
He was thinking! He was calculating! He was searching for... any possible... even the slightest... chance to turn things around!
However! Lin Tian! Would he give them that chance?!
"It seems... there are still some friends... who don't quite understand the current situation."
Lin Tian looked at the heroes who were still "stubbornly resisting," and a regretful expression appeared on his face.
Then! He reached out his hand again!
This time! His target! ba wu er yi ling si er qi ba is… Superman!
He wanted to crush the last pride and hope of this "god among men" in front of everyone!
Let him understand!
What is that!
for real!
despair!.
