"Waaaah!!"
Barry screamed as he flew through the air.
Just as he was about to fall into the sea of monsters, Bruce Wayne arrived in time and caught him.
"Thanks…"
Barry lay across the back of the Dark Winged Bat, gasping for breath—every inhale accompanied by blood spewing from his mouth.
That tentacle had done serious damage—most of his bones were likely broken.
At this point, Barry couldn't even stand. The fact that he was still alive was already a miracle.
"Just rest now."
Seeing Barry like this, Bruce could only tell him to take a break.
Barry was in no condition to fight. The task of stopping the monsters from breaching the energy shield now rested entirely on Bruce.
"Barry, go rest in the Mirror World for a while."
With that, Bruce used the Yellow Lantern Ring to create a mirror and transported Barry into the Mirror World.
In there, no monsters existed—it was the perfect place for Barry to recover from serious injuries.
After ensuring Barry was safe, Bruce set a timer using his Yellow Lantern Ring.
Ordinary people who stayed too long in the Mirror World would eventually disintegrate into particles, so Bruce needed to be sure to retrieve Barry in time.
Then he returned to the back of the Dark Winged Bat and took out three survival cards.
"Survive—Gale!"
"Survive—Blaze!"
"Survive—Infinity!"
Bruce inserted all three cards, transforming into the Triple Survive form.
Simultaneously, the Dark Winged Bat transformed into the Dark Invader—its body turned metallic, one wing swirling with blue wind energy, the other with red flames, and the central body shone golden.
His Knightfall armor also transformed—its primary color turned blue with red patterns throughout, a golden cape unfurling behind him, and in his hand, a long sword. He looked completely majestic.
"Final Advent!"
He inserted the Final Card, and the Dark Invader morphed into a motorcycle. Bruce mounted it, gripped the handlebars, and charged straight at the monster horde.
At full speed, the motorcycle became a golden drill shrouded in the golden cape, enveloped in raging winds and flames.
With a supersonic blast, it slammed into the monsters like a meteor!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions echoed one after another.
Under the power of the Final Advent, the heads of one massive monster after another were smashed apart.
Their colossal bodies collapsed, crushing many smaller monsters beneath them.
But just as the Dark Invader motorcycle was about to continue its rampage—
A massive tentacle snatched it out of midair!
No matter how the golden cape spun around it, the tentacle remained unscathed.
"Urrrgh!!"
Its owner was a gargantuan, kilometer-long creature that resembled a grotesque snail.
Its shell was covered in piles of rotting flesh-like tentacles, and its slimy body was riddled with gaping, fang-lined mouths—truly disgusting to behold.
The snail monster glanced at the motorcycle and casually flung it away.
That casual toss launched the bike over a kilometer away!
Bruce and the Dark Invader crashed hard into the ground.
Cough! Cough!!
The impact had Bruce coughing up blood.
Were it not for the Knightfall armor's protection, he might've ended up like Barry—completely paralyzed.
"You okay?"
He looked at the Dark Invader, who shook its head as if to say it was fine.
"Damn it… now who's going to stop that thing?"
Bruce stared at the kilometer-sized snail monster in panic.
Other than Diana, no one else stood a chance against such a creature.
But Diana was currently focusing all her energy on the blood pool and couldn't spare a moment.
Was he really going to have to let this monster destroy the energy barrier?
CLAAANG!!!
Just as Bruce was overwhelmed with anxiety—
The massive snail monster had already smashed through the energy barrier, tearing open a gap wide enough for it to escape.
Seeing this, many monsters rushed toward the opening.
"No!!"
Bruce couldn't let that happen. He had to stop them, no matter what.
He jumped onto the Dark Invader and flew toward the breach, firing yellow light beams from his ring at the monsters, trying to draw their attention back.
But the beams hit the snail monster like a tickle—completely ineffective.
ZAP!
Just as the snail monster moved forward a few meters, two beams of crimson laser shot down from the sky—piercing right through its skull.
The lasers sliced cleanly, decapitating the massive beast and freezing its body mid-movement.
"…Huh?"
The sudden turn of events left Bruce dumbfounded.
Even Diana and Arthur, off in the distance, noticed the twin beams of light and looked toward them in surprise.
BOOM!
A second later, something collided with the snail monster's corpse—
The impact knocked its kilometer-long body backward, shoving a group of monsters trying to slip out back into the enclosure!
As Bruce approached the breach on the Dark Invader, he finally saw the figure responsible.
It was a man wearing a blue bodysuit with a red cape and a golden 'S' emblazoned on his chest. He was tall, muscular, and strikingly handsome.
"It's you!"
Bruce immediately recognized him.
Back in Iceland, this same man had suddenly descended from the sky and caused an avalanche, indirectly saving Arthur's life—then promptly disappeared.
"Have we met?"
The man looked at Bruce, confused. He had no memory of someone in flashy armor riding a bat-themed steed.
"I've seen you. You haven't seen me. Who are you?"
Bruce eyed the mysterious super-powered man warily.
"I can't tell you my real name just yet… but most people call me Superman."
The newcomer was, of course, Superman—Clark Kent—from the DC Universe.
"Superman?"
Bruce searched his memory but didn't recall ever hearing that name before.
"Never mind that—why are there so many disgusting monsters here?"
Clark surveyed the writhing sea of monsters with clear confusion.
"It's complicated. But can you help? If we let these things run loose, Earth is doomed."
Bruce didn't press for answers—this wasn't the time. He needed every available fighter to stop this catastrophe.
"No problem. That's why I'm here."
Clark nodded. His eyes lit up as he fired powerful heat vision beams, cutting down the monsters near the breach and clearing a large area.
Then he shot off at full speed toward another kilometer-tall monster—
And slammed it to the ground with raw force!
