311. Separating the Liquid Kryptonite.

311. Separating the Liquid Kryptonite.

Another universe.

After sending Pietro and the others away, the once lively hall gradually fell into silence.

"It seems this time, we're on our own," Clark said, touching the liquid Kryptonite still clinging to his chest, his face filled with helplessness.

"It's okay. With us here, we'll definitely rescue Batman," Damian said seriously. Beside him, the two former Robins, Dick and Jason, nodded in agreement.

Without Constantine as their trump card, everyone now pinned their hopes on Alex. They didn't understand the strange power of magic, so they had no choice but to rely on this dark sorcerer from another world.

"The priority now is to regroup with Lois and the others. We need to figure out how many people we have for this plan so we can organize everything properly. But before that, let me help you separate the liquid Kryptonite," Alex said after some thought.

"I'd really appreciate that, Mr. Alex," Clark replied, clearly relieved.

To him, the liquid Kryptonite was like a powerful genetic lock. With it inside his body, he couldn't access any of his powers. In his current state, he couldn't even stand a few rounds against someone like Damian.

"No need to be so formal, we're all in this together," Alex said with a knowing smile, though he didn't explain further.

Without catching the deeper meaning in Alex's smile, the others stepped back a few paces to give him and Clark some space. "Do you need us to do anything, or is it okay to stay here?"

"No need for anything complicated. It's just going to be painful," Alex said casually. "You probably know how painful it was when the liquid Kryptonite was injected, right? Well, extracting it will be about twice as painful, so..."

"It's fine. I can handle it!" Clark said resolutely.

"Isn't there some special way to avoid the pain, like using anesthesia?" Kara asked, thinking it over. While she hadn't experienced the injection of liquid Kryptonite herself, she could imagine how excruciating it must have been.

"I'm afraid not," Alex explained with a shrug. "The liquid Kryptonite has infiltrated Clark's blood vessels, muscles, and even his bones. Using anesthesia would make the magic less effective and would hinder his recovery."

Alex continued, "Once the Kryptonite is removed, Clark's Kryptonian physiology will cause the effects of the anesthesia to wear off immediately. At that point, the pain will hit him all at once, which would be incredibly dangerous."

If the pain from Alex's magic to separate the liquid Kryptonite increased gradually, from level one to level ten, using anesthesia would mean Clark would skip the gradual buildup and jump straight to level ten.

That level of pain would be unbearable for anyone, let alone for Clark, whose body would be transitioning from that of an ordinary person back to a Kryptonian. A misstep could leave permanent internal injuries, or he could even die from the pain.

Though, if you threw Superman into the sun, he might instantly revive—who knows?

This kind of rule-based magic, relying on sheer willpower, was perfect for swiftly cutting through the situation with liquid Kryptonite. However, the pain it caused was also incredibly terrifying.

Kara could see Clark's veins bulging all over his body, green liquid flowing through them, rapidly gathering at his chest.

This was no different from having his bones stripped bare. The Kryptonite that had sunk deep into his bones was being forcibly pulled out by magical energy, making Clark's mind go blank. He couldn't even scream anymore.

If before he could at least scream to release some of the pain, now he couldn't even open his mouth. He couldn't think, every second felt like an eternity.

"Hold on, it's almost over."

Stopping his hand gestures, Alex focused on stabilizing his magic energy. One good thing about healing Kryptonians was that, thanks to their strong bodies, he didn't need to use any healing magic. Once the liquid Kryptonite was removed, Clark would heal on his own.

But by this point, Clark was far beyond responding, lost in unbearable pain.

The effect, however, was clear. Under Alex's spell, the green hue in Clark's eyes was slowly fading back to blue. Not only that, but everyone could now clearly see some green liquid slowly seeping out from Clark's chest.

Seeing the liquid Kryptonite, Alex's eyes lit up. With a flick of his hand, a delicate container appeared, glowing with green light as he grasped it from the air.

Holding the container in his right hand, Alex moved his left in the air, guiding the Kryptonite into the container, drop by drop, until the last bit was extracted from Clark's body.

Once the process was complete, Alex quickly tucked the container into his magical pouch. The radiation from the Kryptonite was strong, and Kara was already feeling a bit dizzy.

With the liquid Kryptonite successfully separated, Clark immediately passed out, unconscious and floating midair.

"Clark!" Kara, fighting back nausea, quickly rushed to his side and gently laid him down on the sofa.

"He's fine. This is just a side effect of the Kryptonite extraction. He'll recover once his body regains its strength under the yellow sun's influence, just like you did before," Alex said, walking up behind Kara.

Hearing this, Kara finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Alex and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No problem," Alex replied with a slight smile, though his mind was on the extracted liquid Kryptonite in his possession.
