Chapter 129 Dividing the Spoils and Bane's Return

"How could that be?"

Luther forced a fake smile.

What else can he say when things have come to this?

He turned around and could almost feel the gears in his head spinning.

Did Batman actually see through his plan?

If you see through it, how much does the other person actually know?

Luther immediately cut off his wild thoughts. Thinking without intelligence is meaningless; it's not something a smart person would do.

An energy cannon rose up behind him. As the creator of the parasite, he should have known very well that all energy attacks were just feeding the parasite, but he did it anyway.

A dark green energy wave shot out and was absorbed by the parasite. Wonder Woman turned around, annoyed, and asked, "What are you doing?"

She looked at Chen Tao and Clark, who were still watching the show from the sidelines: "And you two—"

But the female warrior never had a chance to finish a single sentence.

The parasitic demon roared and slammed down with a punch. Because he had absorbed too much energy, he was now practically a leaky showerhead, looking extremely unstable.

The fist caused a huge explosion on Wonder Woman's shield, sending the Amazon Valkyrie flying backward. Taking advantage of this opening, the parasite wriggled and searched for its severed arm, but just as it found it, Wonder Woman, who returned to the battlefield like a hurricane, kicked away the withered, chicken-claw-like severed arm.

This action provoked an even greater and more terrifying rage from the parasite.

He roared, the immense energy nearly destroying his throat and ability to speak. All sorts of light waves shot out from every pore he could find on his head, as if they were free. Wonder Woman saw one of them heading straight for Batman and Superman, but the two of them would rather jump away than take a hit.

Luther continued feeding the parasite from a distance, sending wave after wave of dark green energy at different wavelengths into its body, gradually turning its purple muscles black, and also staining Wonder Woman's face black—

This green energy made the parasitic demon spray even more vigorously. If before it was just like turning on a tap, now it was like the water pipe bursting, and it started to gush out in a torrent. In this extravagant battle with unlimited energy, even the heroine felt gradually powerless.

"you--"

Diana felt she didn't even have a chance to utter a complete sentence before a massive burst of energy exploded in front of her shield, obscuring her voice amidst the chaotic shockwaves and energy.

As the parasitic demon pounded its head and roared hysterically, she once again drew an arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, was hit like a pinball, tumbled several times on the ground, and then fell headfirst into the ground, eating a mouthful of mud.

But the indomitable Valkyrie leaped up again, letting out a deafening Amazonian battle cry, brandishing her sword: "In the name of Hera—you shall fall! Hah—"

As Luthor continued to fire energy, he turned to look at Batman hiding behind Superman. Batman had an expression that said, "I knew it all along," which made Luthor open his mouth in surprise.

He deliberately walked up to the other person and then fired a shot at the parasite.

Batman showed no reaction whatsoever.

The red and blue Boy Scouts struck a silly pose, trying their best to mimic Batman's stance and hover there.

Luther paced back and forth in front of Batman, fiddling with his cannon for a while. Seeing that the other man still didn't seem inclined to ask any questions, he finally couldn't resist starting to introduce himself.

"I created the parasite."

"Yes, I know."

"And I, Lex Luthor, will never release anything I cannot control."

"Yes, very good."

"..."

Luther continued to explain:

"I call it an energy toxin. This foreign energy interferes with the parasite's wavelength, causing it to uncontrollably spew out the energy it has absorbed, like vomiting and having diarrhea after taking a laxative."

"So the more violently he erupts now, the stronger his outburst, the faster he'll weaken afterwards. This is one of the methods I specifically developed to limit the parasite. Lex Luthor always has a trump card!"

Batman did not respond.

Luther gritted his teeth. He ignored Batman and turned to fire several shots at the parasite.

The two remained silent, neither glancing at the other.

Superman looked at Lex Luthor on the left and Batman on the right, finding it quite amusing.

He landed between two strangely dressed men, proudly put his hands on his hips, and joined them in watching Wonder Woman get beaten up.

Then he heard Batman say:

"Superman, why are you just standing there and watching? Why aren't you helping Wonder Woman?"

Superman: !

Luther interjected:

"It wouldn't surprise me if Superman stood by and did nothing. Aliens would never fight for Earth."

Then they both turned their heads and looked at the stunned Superman:

"So what are you waiting for?"

Clark walked away, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He flew above the parasite and then plummeted down, stomping its head into the ground.

He just saw Batman standing there without moving, so he followed him and absolutely did not mean to slack off!

He grabbed the parasite's head, threw its already weakening body into the air, and then flew up and used his flying punches to send it soaring into the sky.

"Oh, come on, how am I supposed to continue using the energy toxins now?"

Luther stopped firing energy waves and complained.

"Those things you launched are only causing trouble!"

Wonder Woman, covered in dust and dirt, walked over from the side, holding her sword upside down, her hair disheveled.

She sheathed the sword, then slapped her forehead hard, making a loud popping sound.

The shockwave that erupted between her palm and forehead sent all the sand flying off her face and shoulders, leaving her hair completely clean.

Boom!

The parasitic demon landed behind the three of them like a meteorite, creating a large crater in the ground.

He was no longer the terrifying mountain of flesh demon he had been moments before; instead, he resembled a withered, sickly ghost on the verge of death, groaning in pain, "So hungry!"

Without the eruption of enormous energy, his throat, which he had just melted and burned away, had actually grown back within a few dozen seconds, and it no longer hindered his speech.

Superman falls down.

"Do you have anything to eat?"

Upon hearing the question, Clark lowered his fist, hesitated for a moment, and finally, the gentle Kansas farm boy's eyes lit up red as he briefly recharged the parasite.

"Oh, it's coming, it feels so good, so wonderful, so warm—ah—"

Superman breathed a cold air onto the parasite, freezing it into a large block of ice.

With the parasite dealt with, the atmosphere at the scene became tense once again.

Luther stepped aside, and Superman and Wonder Woman began to subtly confront each other.

The Vulcan sword, which had already been put away, slipped back into Diana's palm.

It was as if an invisible wind had swept across the battlefield, and a suffocating sense of destruction began to spread throughout the area, making people suddenly feel suffocated.

A demigod from ancient Greek mythology treads upon decaying, ancient times; while a Kryptonian orphan floats in the air, wielding swirling, swirling flames.

The surging, roaring crimson echoed silently in his eyes; the raised shield and sword reflected the battle-ready gleam in the eyes of the Amazonian god of war.

The world, with its most ferocious expression, pressed against the knife's tip, piercing the thinnest layer of reality. A trembling sense of dread, like a snake coiling around the waist, bound the flesh together in this atmosphere—

Chen Tao walked to Doomsday's side and took out a kryptonite knife from his all-purpose belt.

"hiss……"

Clark quickly dodged the faint green light emanating from the knife.

Chen Tao tried to cut Doomsday's body, but the green knife quickly got stuck in the bone spikes.

He tried to use his skill, like a butcher dissecting an ox, to disassemble it directly...

LOL, that's impossible.

Chen Tao gave up. He pulled out a large handful of kryptonite from his waist and sprinkled it on Doomsday. Then, like cutting a cream cake, he ripped off one of Doomsday's arms.

The other three people stared at him, wide-eyed.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

Chen Tao straightened up, and Batman's distinctive voice rang out in the room: "As you can see, the spoils are not indivisible."

He swung the knife and made a cut into Doomsday's neck—unsurprisingly, it got stuck again.

Chen Tao took out more kryptonite, intending to—

"Stop, stop, stop! I have a kryptonite cutting device."

Luther quickly stopped him.

He pressed his earpiece for a moment: "My drone will deliver a kryptonite cutter to us in a few minutes."

Superman glanced at him sideways.

Who would use a cutting machine? Even if you wanted to deal with him, shouldn't you prioritize making a kryptonite knife or a kryptonite spear?

He looked at the Doomsday corpse on the ground, whose arm had just been severed by a small knife, and for some inexplicable reason, he felt a sense of shared suffering.

The Amazon woman sheathed her sword. The atmosphere finally returned to normal.

Diana looked at Chen Tao, wanting to ask him how he knew about her mother and Paradise Island, but even with the thick skin of an Amazon princess, she knew that now might not be the right time to talk.

And she didn't think the other person would tell her.

"Diana Prince. This monster is man-made. Even man-made Kryptonians can be considered man-made—by the way, do you even know what an alien is?"

Diana realized that the other person didn't seem to know her very well.

"I'm not some old-fashioned person who's oblivious to societal changes."

She tucked a strand of her long, black hair that had fallen over her shoulder: "Although I haven't been away from Paradise Island to your outside world for very long, I've already learned almost everything a normal outsider should know."

She said, "I also found a job appraising antiques."

She paused, then added:

"Although the degree certificate is fake, Steve made it for me."

Chen Tao said:

"It's good that you know exactly what aliens are. Doomsday is a humanoid weapon created purely for killing. It has no consciousness, no emotions, and this guy might even have had some of Brainiac's genetic engineering done on him."

Luther's cutting machine was in place. At that moment, the bald man was working with the red and blue Boy Scouts he hated most, cutting Doomsday's corpse into several pieces of the same size.

The whole scene resembled a picnic.

Chen Tao continued to Diana, "In short, I hope you are well aware of the danger of this thing. Now, here's the question: I don't know if you've ever seen those mad scientists on TV who create monsters that they can't even control themselves."

Diana seemed lost in thought.

"These are your spoils, Diana. You participated in the battle in Hera's name and rightfully have the right to dispose of them. Power needs to be regulated, didn't you say so yourself?"

Diana wrinkled her nose:

"Um, why do you keep saying 'Hera above'? I've already said I'm not from ancient times, you don't need to talk to me like that, like you're trying to coax someone from ancient times... Besides, saying 'Hera above' is weird, you're obviously a man, if you really want to say something, you should say 'Zeus above'!"

Chen Tao hesitated for a moment, then abruptly skipped over the topic.

"I think when you bring this monster to Steve, you also have an obligation to make sure that those government people don't use this monster to create some byproducts that could threaten the world."

Seeing that Diana wanted to say something more, Chen Tao waved her off.

"I know you trust Steve and want to believe he won't use this monster for anything. But you should know that Steve isn't an omnipotent god and can't control every area."

The roar of attack helicopters came from the horizon. Colonel Steve Treve quickly climbed down the ladder, landing on the ground before he could even come to a complete stop.

Chen Tao and Diana glanced sideways at Steve, who was running over.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I believe you have the ability to prevent any potential dangers."

Chen Tao ignored Steve, who had come over to talk to Diana. He walked up to Lex Luthor and unceremoniously took away the fruits of his labor.

Luther was about to say something when Chen Tao interrupted him:

"The parasite is still alive; he's clearly a conscious, living being. Lex, you'd better guarantee his human rights."

As he spoke, he carried Doomsday's upper body and two arms away.

"You took too much..."

Black mist billowed up beneath Chen Tao's feet, and he flew away carrying his belongings. The strangely dressed man, carrying a ferocious monster and shrouded in black mist, looked like a villain straight out of a comic book.

Superman shrugged and flew away with him.

Luther was speechless; he turned to look at the remaining half of his body.

Then he heard two loud bangs on the back of his armor.

He turned around and saw Steve Trevor standing behind him with his hands on his hips.

"Everything here belongs to the *national government!"

"Holy Zealot, you devil of Jesus Christ!" Luther said.

"You are not allowed to take anything from here; you must hand it all over to the government!"

Colonel Trevor threatened expertly, "Don't even think about playing dirty tricks. We don't know the exact identities of Lex, Superman, or Batman, but you are completely under their real name."

He said, "Taking government property without authorization is illegal! Now, your drones have been requisitioned. You're to use them to deliver government property to the military base!"

"And you must hand over all your research on parasitic demons!"

The other party was becoming increasingly unreasonable, and Luther couldn't help but shout angrily, "Don't even think about it, Trevor!"

"You actually know my name? Are you a spy planted among us?"

"You've broken the law, do you know that?"

"Shut up!"

……

……

……

"Professor Shiva, why don't you rest in this safe house for a while?"

Inside a small house in the slums of Metropolis, Jason pulled back the carpet, revealing an entrance to a basement that led to a hidden world.

"No one here can find us."

Jason had just finished planting the flag when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Knock knock knock...

Jason immediately made a tactical hand signal. He covered the carpet back onto the floor, sealing the entrance to the safe house.

Shiva stood up and arched her body like a female leopard.

"Who's outside?"

He walked to the door.

"What's the matter?"

But the next second, with a loud crash, the fragile wooden board was smashed through by a huge hand. Jason staggered back as a small giant, over two meters tall, crashed through the door and burst into the room.

Jason recognized the other person and opened his mouth.

"It's you!"

"I am Bane." The giant's voice echoed in the room as if it were inside a jar.

"I came here specifically for revenge."
