Hearing this nickname, Diana felt both annoyed and amused, because this term was unique to one person.
Deathstroke.
Terms like "utility pole," "big bamboo stick," and "white pillar," were all used by Deathstroke to describe her legs. She knew her legs were long, fair, and straight, and Deathstroke, being the rogue he was, continuously brought them up, eventually making it her signature nickname.
In the past, he did this to provoke her, to infuriate her and force her to show her hand, but hearing it now, she felt a slight sense of relief.
"Slade... I never thought you'd be the one to rescue me." She placed her hand in Deathstroke's, and he pulled her up with one swift motion.
Su Ming let out a mocking laugh and shook his head, he wasn't the Deathstroke of the Main World, but adopting this nickname from the comics was the quickest way to prove his identity.
"Heh, realizing Earthlings are more reliable now, aren't you? Your Krypton boy has turned into a battery now."
Wonder Woman furrowed her brows; she noticed Deathstroke seemed about ten centimeters shorter. The last time they met, her height reached his single eye, but now they were about the same height.
However, it wasn't the time for idle chatter. Hearing that nickname solidified his identity for her, and at times like these, someone as ruthless as Deathstroke indeed seemed more dependable than Superman or Batman.
Undoubtedly, Diana was moved to kill, and it was for justice.
"Let me deal with this guy first and then help those big boys who fell over." She picked up her sword and shield again, her eyes scanning the distant darkness, searching for Iron Arm.
"Alright then, I saved Earth -11 and Barry who had fallen in, and now I'm here to save you. I've got a little slip of paper filled with numbers that I might need Bruce to sign."
Su Ming dropped the Divine Gold AK47. Even though it had a rapid fire rate and hit its target directly all dozens of rounds, Merciless Iron Fists was still up and about.
"Barry? You saved him?" Diana exclaimed in surprise, the Divine Speed could offer a lot of help: "Where is he?"
"Ahem... right behind you, Diana."
Barry looked helplessly at the two chatting away, it seemed Diana hadn't noticed him behind her at all, being too engrossed in watching Deathstroke. Wonder Woman flashed an embarrassed smile, generously hugging Barry, making him blush furiously.
Su Ming, meanwhile, was keeping an eye on the commotion not far away, walking towards the weapon rack and picking up the Godslayer.
When Wonder Woman and Merciless Iron Fists were grappling, he and Barry arrived just in time. According to the plan, Barry had secretly planted a Divine Gold Hand Grenade on the other side of the Large Gold Coin and pulled the pin, exploding just as Iron Arm was making a noise.
While observing the battlefield, Su Ming instantly recognized the Godslayer; its aura was the brightest among all the weapons, like a crescent moon shining.
This weapon contained no 'metal' and could be said to be purely composed of Sun God energy, but its biggest advantage was its ability to change forms according to the user's will.
As long as you held it, with just a thought, it would transform into the most suitable size and weight for you. Whether it was a cold or hot weapon, whether it was a human or alien weapon, as long as you could envision the weapon's structure, it could mimic all.
Reaching out, this weapon landed in Su Ming's hand, instantly emitting a fierce light, illuminating his armor.
"Kill... kill... kill..."
An endless murderous intent instantly coursed from his arm to his brain, longing for battle, as though a gentle voice kept whispering, that it had once killed hundreds of millions in another world, and now, once again, it was picked up by a warrior.
Having read the comics, Su Ming was well prepared; he knew exactly the nature of this weapon—it didn't cause the comic Deathstroke to lose control, so it wouldn't cause him to either.
His heart pounded a few times harshly, the bloodthirsty desire then subsided; he didn't intend to be dominated by a weapon, so it wouldn't happen. He casually drew his Fire God Sword and tossed it to Diana, who blinked at the two identical weapons in her hands.
"???
"Here's a Fire God Sword for you, the Godslayer is mine now, no need to thank me."
He then inserted the Godslayer into the scabbard at his waist.
Though it was a curved blade, it transformed like a liquid, seamlessly fitting into a scabbard half its size.
With the Godslayer in Deathstroke's hands, it was akin to handing a tyrant a nuclear bomb, extremely dangerous. Diana wanted to say something but found herself tongue-tied, realizing that Deathstroke indeed needed to use this weapon given the world's current situation...
Su Ming didn't care about Diana's gaze; with the Godslayer in his hand, it was impossible for her to take it away.
He drew the Nightfall Giant Sword from his back, black light shimmering upon it.
"Let me first see where Merciless Iron Fists is hiding."
Su Ming wielded the Giant Sword, advancing towards the display stands. This underground space was vast, yet only the small area where Diana and the others stood was illuminated.
Merciless Iron Fists was hiding within the darkness. Despite being Nightmare Batman, being able to make stealth moves in full plate armor over two meters tall seemed to be his unique skill...
There were no signs in Su Ming's night vision goggles, finding him in a short time wouldn't be easy. However, they were now blocking the entrance, trapping Iron Arm in the depths of the cave.
Su Ming still had plans, he couldn't afford to linger here with Iron Arm too long.
"Bruce! Did your Diana teach you how to be a coward?"
He knew Iron Arm loved a good fight; now probably not planning a retreat, but preparing to wipe them out. If he were Iron Arm, his first target should be The Flash, given his significant threat level.
Although Barry doesn't kill, the Divine Speed is indeed annoying. As long as Barry is present, any hasty plan by Iron Arm won't execute smoothly.
The best move now was to have Little Flash locate him. Though as the War God Iron Arm was quick, compared to the Divine Speed, he was much slower.
Su Ming gestured to Barry, who promptly approached, Su Ming whispered a slew of words into Barry's ear. Though Barry had doubts, he ultimately nodded, vanishing in an instant.
In the next moment, the Lasso of Truth appeared suddenly in Wonder Woman's hand, stretched taut, extending straight into the dark depths of the warehouse.
The rope vibrated intensely, sweeping away surrounding display racks and treasures, while Diana bit her teeth hard, gripping the rope tightly.
Su Ming knew time was short, the damned War God's Helmet infinitely magnified Iron Arm's power. It was his turn to act.
He immediately charged towards the location at the other end of the lasso with the giant sword held high.
Just then, the sound of creaking burst forth, followed by the Lasso of Truth, glowing bright, unraveling into several pieces like noodles.
Iron Arm's War God Divine Power tore it apart, a divine artifact falling apart on the ground like an ordinary rope.
