252. Still Six More.

252. Still Six More.

"Even though I don't know what tricks you're up to, it doesn't change the outcome."

Red Skull's body emitted a dense cosmic energy, which was not just from the Nova Corps of Xandar but also clearly mixed with something else—something much darker.

"Look at me now, the finest existence in the world, the essence of all domains gathered into one being. I've ascended to godhood, Superman, while you are nothing more than an ant about to be crushed under my feet!"

"I don't know how you cracked the Nova Corps' legacy or how you bypassed the curse to wield the Ebony Blade and Doctor Strange's Cloak, but honestly, Red Skull, how much of that power can you truly wield now that you've fallen into darkness?"

Clark—or rather Alex—made a quick gesture, and in the next moment, Superman's classic suit was engulfed in ghostly green flames, swiftly transforming into a black robe. A third eye opened on Alex's forehead.

"I can sense the vast energy within you, like a strange concoction pieced together from several sources. You're not in a 'normal' state at all. You're nothing more than a madman consumed by power and desire."

"Is that so?" Red Skull paused for a moment, then grinned. He raised the Ebony Blade, its tip pointing directly at Alex. "Enough talk. Let's see if you're as strong as your words."

The Ebony Blade suddenly erupted with pitch-black death energy, an ancient form of black magic born from the stars, wielded only by the great Merlin.

In an instant, a black hole of energy formed around the blade, capable of absorbing all light and unleashing terrifying pressure that altered the surrounding environment.

Seeing this, Alex crossed his hands. The eerie green flames around him abruptly shifted into a sacred white light, meeting the encroaching dark matter head-on.

"Seraph Shield!"

Holy, white feathers gently floated down as the terrifying white light illuminated half of Times Square. Those watching from a distance could vaguely hear the sound of morning bells ringing in their minds.

As the immense energies clashed, Hydra soldiers around them scattered in panic. They were mere mortals. It wasn't just impossible for them to fight in such a battle—they couldn't even survive close proximity to the destructive energy radiating from it.

The temperature across Times Square became unbalanced. It was supposed to be the cold of deep winter, but now it was sweltering hot, with waves of heat pushing people to retreat even farther away.

Upon hearing this, Red Skull didn't react to Alex's taunt, as he had already been consumed by his own frenzy.

"Is that so? Then why are you still holding on desperately? I'm invincible! All your magic and sorcery are useless against me. No mental attacks, soul destruction, or elemental strikes can penetrate my shield!"

"Tell me, sorcerer!" Red Skull unleashed an even stronger burst of energy, pushing Alex's Seraph Shield to the brink of collapse.

"Tell me, what can you do with just one incomplete projection!?"

Red Skull's voice, amplified by energy, echoed across all of New Babylon, and everyone raised their heads in terror, watching the rare and terrifying spectacle. No one had anticipated that Red Skull had such power. Even those watching on TV around the world were stunned.

Kate Bishop gripped her bow tightly, her face full of worry and anxiety. Wolverine turned off the TV entirely—he didn't want to witness the sacrifice of another old friend, nor did he want his kids to see this.

Yet, Alex, standing before Red Skull, simply smirked.

A dark shadow suddenly darted through the violent energies.

The destructive power that would pulverize anything in its path was somehow navigated like a tightrope by the shadow, moving with masterful precision and daring, making its way rapidly toward the battleground between Alex and Red Skull.

Red Skull's face darkened as he turned, only to see a figure resembling a giant bat swooping toward him. That nimble, lightning-fast figure—who could it be but Batman?

At that moment, Alex's calm voice softly reached Red Skull's ears.

"Sorry, but I still have six more of these 'incomplete' projections."
