Chapter 103: Inferior Bat?

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Inferior Bat?

General Zod wiped his chin, his fingers stained with blood.

He was injured—by a human from Earth.

The destruction of Krypton and his current defeat in battle drove Zod to madness. He roared, "Do you know who I am? I was born to protect Krypton. I have the strongest combat genes. How could someone from a backward planet like Earth be my match?"

Batman didn't answer but charged at General Zod again.

His combat experience was extensive, and he quickly adapted to his newfound strength, combining repulsion and gravity to create new techniques.

With the enhancement of repulsion and gravity, Batman, using a body as strong as Zod's, quickly gained the upper hand. The peak combat skills of Krypton and Earth clashed, but Earth triumphed.

As expected of DC's favored son, Batman wasn't even directly involved in the previous confrontations. Just from observation, he had gathered enough information to create several plans to deal with General Zod.

Each time they clashed, Batman used repulsion and gravity to throw Zod off balance. Black, red, and deep blue flashed continuously, displaying breathtaking combat skills.

Even though Batman didn't have six eyes, he achieved precise energy manipulation. That's the charm of Batman.

In the sky, Superman and Alex watched. Seeing General Zod completely suppressed by Batman, Superman was shocked.

In their previous battle, Superman had been entirely on the defensive, almost powerless.

As time passed, General Zod's injuries worsened. Even though the radiation from the yellow sun replenished his energy, it was nowhere near enough to compensate for his loss. When Zod was hit in the head again, he could no longer resist, flying through the air and lying motionless in a crater several dozen meters away.

Batman rushed forward to deliver the final blow. He hated Zod and wanted to kill him to avenge those who died in the Black Zero event.

Just as Batman's fist was about to strike Zod, a figure appeared in front of him, effortlessly catching his punch.

Alex had teleported in front of General Zod, blocking Batman's attack. Facing Batman's puzzled gaze, he explained, "I need them to provide me with energy."

Batman, regaining his composure, considered that all his current strength came from the Traveler Batman. He stopped his attack and asked Alex, "What do you plan to do with him?"

Alex pointed to the numerous Kryptonians floating in the air behind him. "This is his fate, at least until I find a more convenient energy source."

General Zod slowly regained consciousness. Even he couldn't withstand repeated punches that broke the sound barrier, leaving him in a brief coma.

Upon waking, he found two Batmen talking in front of him and saw the many Kryptonian warriors floating behind one of them. Through their conversation, General Zod understood Alex's plan and shouted angrily, "How dare you humiliate the great warriors of Krypton? You'd better kill us now, or when we escape, we will brutally kill all humans!"

Alex grinned at Zod's threat, "You won't get the chance!"

Just like the other Kryptonian warriors, Alex broke Zod's limbs, placed a symbiote on him to absorb his Kryptonian physique, and restrained his movements, silencing his incessant shouting. After these steps, General Zod, like the other Kryptonians, became a captive of Alex, no more than livestock.

Batman, seeing this scene, was pleased. "This punishment is fitting. I like it."

Then Alex closed his eyes and concentrated. Moments later, after making a strange gesture, Faora instantly submitted, like a dog that had been tamed, treating Alex with great reverence.

It was Batman who finally asked Alex, "Traveler, what did you do? Why is this Kryptonian suddenly following your orders?"

Alex gave Batman a disdainful glance, replying matter-of-factly, "Anyone who's been Batman knows that besides the superhuman physique to easily defeat Superman, months-long stamina, and a handsome face, Batman also has mind control abilities. Isn't that right, Mr. Wayne?"

Batman: "..."

How come I didn't know?

Alright, you've traveled the multiverse, you're awesome, whatever you say goes.

Batman sank into deep self-doubt. Could it be that I really am just an inferior Bat?

Even Clark beside him looked at Batman sympathetically and began to worry for himself.

If Batman is an inferior Bat, then what about me? Could I be an inferior Superman too?

Alex retrieved the World Engine from the Indian Ocean and combined it with the Ark II. He was preparing to take his newly acquired ride for a spin into space when suddenly a few armed helicopters blocked his path.

Sensing them with his Six Eyes, Alex's smile grew cold, and a broadcast came from the outside:

"Attention, those inside the ship! Surrender the Kryptonian vessel and submit immediately. This ship is the rightful property of the United States!"

'Shit'

Batman and Superman's expressions changed drastically. Even though they had only spent a short time with Alex, they understood what kind of person the Traveler Batman was.

He was kind, but not a saint. He had principles—if no one provoked him, he wouldn't provoke them.

But if someone crossed his line, he would be far more terrifying than even the most ruthless Kryptonian!

And with his power, he was indeed a monster far more terrifying than Kryptonians!

At this point, the actions of the U.S. government had clearly crossed Alex's bottom line!
