Chapter 4463

"Hiss——"

The severe pain from the wound made Clark gasp. Because he hadn't been injured much, his tolerance for pain had never been very good. Perhaps because death power had been invading, this wound was also exceptionally painful. That kind of sharp pain seemed to act directly on his brain, making Clark's figure sway, and Steppenwolf's arm also fell off.

Atlan seized the opportunity, and a water arrow hit Clark's back. It didn't break through Clark's skin defense, but knocked him into the water. Dense death power dragged him into the deep sea.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, J'onn came to Clark's side in a flash and fished him up with one hand. He turned to look at the wound on Clark's arm, and then his face sank. Because judging from the state of the wound, the situation was not optimistic.

The place that was scratched had completely turned black, and the flesh had begun to rot. If it weren't for the magic power in Clark's body still being able to resist, I'm afraid in an instant, the death power would pollute the entire arm.

Clark panted, clearly very uncomfortable. He also turned to look at his arm, and after seeing the tragic state, closed his eyes hard and said: "Don't worry about me. Steppenwolf..."

When Steppenwolf's arm fell off, Victor had already rushed over. But Atlan clearly wouldn't let him get it so easily. He set off huge waves around him, even obscuring the sky. Victor's vision was blocked, he could only waste energy to turn on modification mode, and finally saw the Black Lantern ring about to fall into the seawater.

Must not let them get the ring again, Victor thought, otherwise it wouldn't be long before Steppenwolf would come back. Must kill him completely here.

Victor gritted his teeth, flew quickly through countless rushing water columns, borrowed the clear vision of modification mode, and stared at the ring without letting go. But at this time Steppenwolf also rushed out of the water. Although he was missing an arm, it didn't affect his flexibility. And he was closer to the ring than Victor.

Victor accelerated again, sparks appeared in the air, and the surrounding seawater was steamed into water vapor. He passed through one mist after another, and the moment he grabbed the ring, Steppenwolf's blood-red eyes lit up below.

"Uh!!!!!"

Victor's scream came. J'onn hurried over. The falling Victor had a long wound on his chest, and even the mechanical body was torn. But Victor raised his right hand while gasping. J'onn saw that what he was clutching was exactly the Black Lantern ring on Steppenwolf's finger.

J'onn first put Victor on the beach, then took the Black Lantern ring and started intangibility mode, not letting the chasing Atlan and Steppenwolf have any opportunity to exploit.

Atlan and Steppenwolf knew the ring couldn't be taken back, so they didn't chase J'onn again, but put the focus on Superman as planned. But Hal protected Clark and retreated all the way, and the two of them couldn't catch up either.

Arriving at the beach, bringing Victor along, the remaining members of the Justice League withdrew from the battlefield. Atlan and Steppenwolf were afraid of the consequences and didn't dare to chase again.

Returning to Hal's house, Victor completely collapsed. He lay on the sofa, clutching his chest and making painful groans. His wound was deeper than Clark's. Although there was also the Mother Box's power to resist, the pain brought by the constant invasion of death and decay into the living flesh was unimaginable, as if the flesh was being roasted bit by bit.

Hal clenched his fists. With one hand on one, and one hand on the other, he constantly used Green Lantern energy to drive away the death power for them. But once death power meets fresh flesh, it is like a fish in water, and it is not so easy to disperse.

"Save Victor first." Clark, who was pale, said, "I'm fine here, but his situation is probably very bad."

Everyone had also discovered that corpse spots began to appear on Victor's body, and they were coming fiercely, without any process of development and spread. The speed of pollution infiltration was ridiculously fast.

"Probably because you were both directly attacked." J'onn speculated, "Barry and Diana were both indirectly exposed to death power and didn't leave wounds on their body surfaces, so their injuries developed more slowly. But you left wounds, so you will be infected more deeply."

"I have to kill Steppenwolf." Hal said, "Without the ring, he won't resurrect again. Then there's only Atlan and Ares left. We still have a chance of winning."

J'onn nodded, knowing that this was the only way. Fighting until now, what they are fighting is endurance. Don't look at the many casualties on their side, the opponent has almost no one left. As long as they can hold on longer than the opponent, victory will definitely belong to them.

J'onn stayed here to look after the wounded, and Hal continued to prepare for battle. But just as he was about to leave, Clark stopped him and said: "I'll go with you."

"But your injury..."

"It's okay." Clark shook his head and said, "Maybe I can also devour death power, just like devouring magic and Kryptonite power."

Hal hesitated slightly, but still said: "Alright, you have to be careful. Ares is not easy to deal with."

The two set off together and arrived at the sea surface again. Neither of them was in a hurry to make a move, Clark prepared to lock onto Steppenwolf for a one-hit kill.

But this group of guys is very cunning, it seems they saw they intended to fight again, and kept hiding in the sea without showing their heads. Clark is not in a hurry either. He started using the exhaustive method to find the source of the seabed pollution again. If he finds it soon, the opponent will have to come even if they don't want to.

Sure enough, on the east side of the Pacific Ocean, under a small island reef, there was another hydrothermal vent at the bottom of the sea. When he felt the change in seawater temperature, Clark knew that this should be the source of pollution they were looking for.

But just as he approached there, the sky and earth suddenly changed color. A dense aura of corruption came with the wind. Atlan surfaced again, looked at Clark and said: "You have been infected. Death power will keep eroding you until it turns you into our kind. Superman, don't resist stubbornly anymore. Join the Blackest Day, rule the multiverse."

"Sorry, I don't have time." Clark said, "Besides, who infects whom is not necessarily certain."

After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense. When his super senses keenly captured the sound from the seabed, a flashing laser shot directly at that direction. This laser was not as grand as before, but it concentrated extreme power at one point, just like a sniper rifle with great power. With a sizzle, the sea surface didn't set off any waves, but a few seconds later, Steppenwolf's remains floated up, the entire torso disappeared, leaving only some broken limbs.

Successfully killing Steppenwolf, Clark breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, a giant axe slashed at him. Clark dodged quickly, turned back and kicked, kicking away Ares who was pouncing. Then he dodged the water arrow sneak attack, grabbed the returning Ares axe, and split half of the Pacific Ocean with one axe.

Ares also seemed shocked by his combat power, looking at the split seawater, and stood there for a long time without moving. At this time, it was Hal's turn to sneak attack; he suddenly appeared from the portal, and stabbed Ares through with a green long sword. Green light swelled violently, and Ares was dismembered on the spot.

Hal didn't forget to look for the ring on his hand, but Atlan was faster than him. The moment Ares was hit, he swept over with seawater and directly took the ring away.

But with only him left, he couldn't resist Hal and Clark, so he had to merge into the seawater. The two didn't choose to chase, because Atlan's advantage was too great underwater. Every water flow could be his clone, chasing him was meaningless.

The two opened the hydrothermal vent again, and there were indeed many bones underneath. After cleaning up the bones as before, the Pacific Ocean was also gradually returning to clarity.

"There's one last place left." Hal said, "It should be in the Indian Ocean. Are we going there now? Or wait?"

"Can't wait anymore." Clark said, "I have a bad premonition. We have to make a quick decision."

Hal nodded, although he didn't know where Clark's premonition came from, he believed that Superman had his own superiority. So, the two flew to the sky above the Indian Ocean together.

The Indian Ocean is not big, so it should be much faster to find. They quickly locked onto the target. But just as they were preparing to make a move, Clark was stunned.

He looked back in one direction. Hal followed his gaze, and a strong figure appeared on the skyline. He had dense hair like a wild man and an ugly face, looking like a primitive man, holding a golden thing like a trophy in his hand, and jumped directly into the sea from mid-air.

"Who is that?" Clark frowned.

Hal's fingers moved slightly. His communication had been connected to the Green Lantern channel. Just when they were fighting the Blackest Day, news of victory came from the Lantern Corps. They successfully killed Darkseid's eldest son, Kalibak. And in the description of the battle report, this guy was a rough and ugly humanoid creature, holding a Beta Trophy that could fire neural laser waves at people.

The Lantern Corps paid a great price to defeat this strong and savage warrior and successfully killed him. But now, he appeared on Earth.

If the battle report wasn't fake, then it should be Nekron who resurrected him. Although he had long known that Darkseid and Nekron were in cahoots, seeing this scene, Hal still couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.

Clark turned to look at him, and Hal explained simply. Clark's face also sank. These two sides are really cooperating tacitly, one side holding back the Lantern Corps, making it unable to support Earth, the other side resurrecting the fierce generals who died in battle, putting them into the Earth battlefield to give the Justice League greater pressure.

But this is not the most desperate thing. Not long after Kalibak appeared, a black line suddenly appeared on Earth's skyline. Immediately after, a dense army of Parademons descended. They landed in the nearest city and prepared to start a massacre.

Hal's heart sank to the bottom, the situation had reached the worst point. The army of Parademons sent by Darkseid could provide Nekron with enough corpse materials, and perhaps could also help him accumulate death power. Once there was enough death power, Nekron would have no more worries.

"Solve the pollution source in the sea first." Clark said, "Batman must have preparations on land."
