"Hello, Batman."
The moment Batman stepped inside, the TV screen flickered on, revealing Lex Luthor's image.
"Don't be so cold. This isn't a recording, it's live. You don't need to track the signal either, because I can tell you my location directly. I'm currently sunbathing on a beach in Mauritius. It should just be getting dark where you are, right?
I saw Kryptonian history on the ruins of their spaceship. In ancient times, Krypton had a biological weapon called Doomsday, but it went extinct. I think that's a great name—Kryptonian Doomsday—so I named this thing Doomsday too. Because today, I think it's Superman's doomsday. Though I think mine will be stronger, since it has human DNA mixed in, making its resistance to Kryptonite slightly better than Superman's..."
*BANG!*
Batman slammed his hand down, shattering the TV screen, then turned to face Doomsday.
The eggshell had become thin and transparent. At that moment, Doomsday opened its eyes, extended its claws, and began tearing at the membrane.
The expression under Batman's cowl instantly changed. With his left hand, he pulled a smoke bomb mixed with Kryptonite powder from his utility belt and threw it to the ground, where it exploded. At the same time, he lifted his right hand, fired a grappling hook upwards, and escaped through the roof.
"ROAR!!!"
A monstrous roar echoed from inside the warehouse.
A few seconds later, the warehouse roof was ripped open again.
Doomsday coughed, then waved its hand, blowing away the Kryptonite powder with a gust of wind. It then leaped out, its monstrous face constantly observing this unfamiliar world.
*CRACK!*
Blinding lights flared on.
On the roof of a distant tall building, Batman stood beside a Bat-signal, shining its light into the sky, illuminating the cloud-filled heavens with a giant bat symbol.
Then the light shifted, pointing towards Doomsday.
Doomsday, attracted by the commotion, leaped onto the rooftop, only to be tackled by a figure in a red cape.
A wave of air surged as the two crashed to the ground, instantly reducing the warehouse to rubble.
On the cracked ground, a red streak of lightning flashed by quickly, then darted around, moving the surrounding crowd away.
Two minutes, that was enough time for The Flash and Superman to reach Gotham.
A white metallic figure, trailing plasma flames, descended from the sky, landing beside Batman.
"The armor's okay?"
Batman scrutinized Qingshui with a suspicious gaze.
"No problem."
"Lead the fight to the harbor. I've set up the most Kryptonite traps there."
Batman directed Qingshui.
Superman, below, also heard the words and changed direction. At the cost of enduring a dozen heavy blows from Doomsday, he wrapped his arms around the latter's waist and headed towards the harbor.
*SPLASH!*
Both plunged into the sea outside the harbor, sending a towering column of water skyward.
*THUD!*
A dull sound echoed as Doomsday seized the opportunity and punched Superman, sending him flying a great distance.
The next moment, two beams of high-temperature plasma shot from White Knight's palms, scorching Doomsday's skin.
Superman had been temporarily knocked away, so now it was Qingshui's turn to take over.
"What! The drawbridge!"
Batman shouted into the radio channel.
Qingshui quickly changed position, activating the Speed Force, dodging Doomsday's attacks, and leading it towards the drawbridge.
At the distant pier, Batman observed through binoculars, then pulled a detonator from his utility belt. He waited for the right moment and then detonated the drawbridge.
An explosion boomed, sending Kryptonite dust mixed with debris flying everywhere, momentarily slowing Doomsday's movements.
Not far from it, Qingshui had already drawn a Kryptonite dagger.
A dazzling green light shone on Doomsday.
It, which should have only had an endless desire for destruction, made an unexpected choice at that moment: it dove headfirst into the water.
Perhaps this was the change brought about by the human genes Lex Luthor had mixed in.
Underwater, although there was still Kryptonite radiation, it was greatly weakened. With the liquid barrier, it couldn't easily inhale the Kryptonite dust.
But the next second, another dull explosion echoed underwater.
Kryptonite bombs had also been planted by Batman on the seabed beneath the drawbridge.
Doomsday roared again.
Multiple wounds covered its body, but as it plunged deeper into the water, moving away from that area, the effects of the Kryptonite radiation also diminished.
Bones protruded as Doomsday's body rapidly healed at a visible rate.
Qingshui opened his faceplate, took a deep breath, and followed, diving into the water. He activated the Speed Force Dagger, pursuing at full speed.
"Separation Breathing: Second Form - Separation Dance!"
The seawater instantly evaporated into high-temperature plasma.
A thick white mist, carrying a bright blue dragon, shot straight for Doomsday's back.
At the dragon's head, the Kryptonite Dagger, glowing with a faint green light, instantly cut through the white bone spikes and dark green skin.
"ROAR!!!!"
An enraged roar, filled with destructive intent, echoed across the sea.
Doomsday instinctively turned, blocking with one hand while swinging his other fist at Qingshui.
Even with the Speed Force's enhancement and the reactions granted by Transparent World, he was still half a beat too slow, and Doomsday's punch struck his shoulder.
This time, it was Qingshui who was sent flying.
Even though this Doomsday was somewhat flawed from birth, having been cultivated and brought forth by Lex Luthor using Zod's blood combined with human genes and Kryptonian technology, its strength still far exceeded Qingshui's, even with the White Knight's blessing.
Only Superman possessed the same level of strength as Doomsday here.
Fortunately, he had severed one of its arms.
However, in just two seconds, the arm grew back, accompanied by new protruding bone spikes.
The next second, Superman descended from the sky, his red cape fluttering.
He saw that Qingshui was at least capable of temporarily holding off Doomsday, so he continued to fly higher for a bit, reaching close to the atmosphere before beginning his descent.
With the added force of gravity, Superman's speed was incredible.
Before Doomsday could react, Superman slammed a fist down on its head, driving it into the seabed.
Giant waves surged, and seawater rolled back, as if a tsunami had struck.
Batman, standing on the shore, stumbled and ducked behind a shipping container, using his cape to shield himself from the torrential spray.
"Superman, lure that thing further out to sea! The commotion here is too great; it'll still affect the city!" Batman shouted towards the sky.
His voice, even its extremely subtle vibrations through the air, was caught by Superman. Without hesitation, Superman performed another powerful maneuver, enduring Doomsday's attacks to carry it to the center of the ocean.
A few seconds later, a launch capsule was air-dropped in front of Batman, holding a Bat-suit worn by a mannequin.
It was vaguely discernible that this suit had been modified from the Anti-Puppeteer Armor.
