The next day, Fang Yuan, feeling refreshed, appeared on time before Batman and the others with Mera.
"We'll split up. I, Victor, Deathstroke, Mera, and Joker will search for the mother box. Along the way, we'll find a spot to lure Superman over, and Fang Yuan and Father will ambush him," Batman assigned.
"As for Barry, you are the hope for all of us. You cannot directly participate in the battle."
If anything went wrong, they would still need Flash's Speed Force to reset, so Barry had to be kept away from the fighting.
Barry understood this well and said he would voluntarily hide outside.
However, before leaving, Batman called Barry aside and said something. When everyone saw Barry again, they found he still looked bewildered.
Deathstroke asked Batman what he said to Barry, but Batman refused to tell.
If he didn't want to say, then he didn't have to. They were already used to Batman having secrets.
Fang Yuan was a little curious too, but Flash had already gone far, so he didn't press the issue.
The last 5 kilometers were quickly covered.
"The mother box is in that high tower!"
Cyborg pointed the direction, but the tower was surrounded by a large number of guards.
Trying to sneak in quietly was almost a pipe dream.
"We can only distract their attention."
Thomas spotted a good position at this moment, perfect for an ambush.
"Fang Yuan and I will hold off Superman, creating an opportunity for you all," Thomas said.
Batman gave them a deep look, then continued forward with Joker and the others.
This operation was practically a death sentence for Deathstroke and Joker, but none of them flinched.
Since they chose to join Batman's team instead of surrendering to Superman, they had long since disregarded their lives.
Now that they had a chance to save the timeline, they were all very willing.
Everyone had reasons they had to do this, even Joker, who seemed to have no attachments.
As for the timeline resetting again, they would lose the memories of these past few years, but no one would miss such distressing memories.
The six of them stealthily infiltrated, arriving outside the high tower. Further in was the tower's main entrance, and they had to deal with the guards at the door to get in.
Many of these guards were humans who had surrendered during the war or were controlled by the anti-life equation.
There was no possibility of a sneak attack at that location.
"We can only force our way in," Fang Yuan said.
The few of them exchanged glances and pulled out their weapons.
"3, 2, 1, move!"
At Batman's command, they immediately opened fire, taking down the guarding soldiers.
But at this moment, Fang Yuan noticed something was off.
Everyone else had killed their targets, but Batman alone didn't use a gun, only using Batarangs to severely wound his targets, leaving them barely alive.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Joker didn't say a word, raising his hand to finish them off: "What kind of misguided kindness are you showing?"
Batman didn't answer. He knew these people had defected to Darkseid, but when he pulled the trigger, a "no-kill rule" kept popping into his head, so he inexplicably let them off the hook.
At this moment, Joker seemed to realize something. Even amidst the hail of bullets, he walked directly up to Batman.
"You look like you've gone back more than twenty years, to the time when Batman was most fun, hahaha!" He looked into Batman's eyes and suddenly burst out laughing.
Batman, so awkward under the no-kill rule, held an infinite allure for Joker.
Batman's face darkened, but he didn't retort.
Although he had rested for a night, the chaos in his mind had not subsided; instead, it seemed to be intensifying.
It was as if every Batman from his memories wanted to be the protagonist of this body.
Batman's fighting was clean and precise, but every guard who rushed him was only incapacitated, not killed.
However, severely wounding someone and killing someone, actually, severe wounding required a bit more effort.
"Hey Batman!"
At this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly called out to him.
"Do you see those Parademons?" Fang Yuan pointed at the Parademons in the sky and said, "They are not human!"
Batman's eyes narrowed, and the complex emotions in his heart seemed to find an outlet all at once. He quickly redirected his target.
"Bang!"
He pulled out the shotgun from his waist and delivered a headshot to the nearest Parademon, then sidestepped the attacks of two other Parademons, smashing the butt of his gun into one's face to disorient it, then quickly headshot the other two Parademons with two consecutive shots, finally turning his gun to kill the previously disfigured Parademon.
This entire sequence of actions took less than 3 seconds!
Deathstroke was stunned to see it. Batman's performance was much more impressive than when he had blinded him before.
"Boom boom!"
At this moment, a sound came from the sky.
Mera was most sensitive to this sound.
"Superman!" she shouted loudly.
"Here!"
Fang Yuan knew it was his turn to act. He immediately urged everyone to quickly enter the high tower, while he blocked the entrance.
Only he, with the protection of Good Brother, could contend with Superman on the field.
Superman, as expected, charged directly at Fang Yuan, who was standing at the very front, without a word.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had already activated the Black King Template. Although at the moment of contact, because Superman's descending force was too strong and he couldn't absorb too much at once, he was repeatedly pushed back, but Fang Yuan immediately stabilized himself with the absorbed energy.
He took a deep breath. This was just a basic attack from Superman, and it had already injured him. As expected of a being who could make Flash go to such lengths to travel through time just to save his woman.
Fang Yuan tightly gripped Superman's hands. Batman and the others took this opportunity to quickly rush towards the mother box's location, led by Cyborg.
Superman tried to break free twice, but Fang Yuan used all his energy, and he couldn't break away. So Superman slowly ascended, making Fang Yuan's face change.
"Oh, he's going to use that move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Superman delivered a powerful headbutt, and the scattered force even penetrated the floor.
Fang Yuan and Superman both fell to the next level.
Superman broke free of his restraints, just about to finish off Fang Yuan, but at this moment, he suddenly felt weak all over. Turning his head, he realized that Thomas had been waiting there for a long time with a Kryptonite spear.
It turned out that all of Fang Yuan's previous actions were just to lure the enemy deeper.
Fang Yuan rubbed his head hard. Superman's headbutt was quite powerful, leaving him bewildered and hurting his brain.
"Kill him!" Fang Yuan said decisively.
Thomas was even more direct. Before Fang Yuan even spoke, he raised the spear and thrust it towards Superman.
Superman's eyes were bloodshot, but his weakened body could not make any reactive movements.
But just as Fang Yuan and Thomas were about to achieve a double kill on Superman, a red light shot in from outside in the blink of an eye, making two turns in the air, and precisely struck the Kryptonite spear!
"Bang!"
The Kryptonite immediately exploded, turning into dust and scattering on the ground.
Fang Yuan's face turned pale, not because the Kryptonite spear was destroyed and Superman was about to escape, but because of the owner of this red ray!
He and Thomas exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Fang Yuan spoke with difficulty: "Dark—se—id."
