Suddenly appearing in the sky was the belated Eric.
Under the astonished gazes of Jimmy and Louise, Eric shot out Heat Vision from his eyes, wiping out all the Parademons that charged at him.
The Parademons, originally possessing high-speed flight capabilities and decent combat power, were directly hit by Eric's Heat Vision, which carried infinite energy.
The Parademon flying at the very front was struck in the body by Eric's Heat Vision, instantly being cut in half.
The Parademons surrounding it were also knocked down by this Death ray, which seemed to be spewed forth by Death itself.
A crimson Heat Vision, emanating a chilling killing intent, streaked horizontally across the sky, and any Parademon grazed by this "Death ray" let out heart-wrenching screams and plummeted from the sky to the ground.
Eric then retracted his Heat Vision, which cut like a hot knife through butter, and instantly flew to the nearest Parademon.
With just one punch, he easily struck its body.
A punch delivered with immense power almost pulverized its body into bloody foam.
After dealing with a few Parademons with his fists, Eric continued to bombard these demons with Heat Vision.
Any monster hit by his Heat Vision had no chance, all letting out wails and falling from the sky.
Louise, who had survived the disaster on the ground, watched Eric suddenly appear and wreak havoc, her emotions shifting from terror to relief.
Since Eric was here, she was saved!
Although Louise had some reservations about Eric's character, she had never doubted his abilities.
She always believed that, besides Clark who might have a chance, no one was Eric's match.
Taking a deep breath, Louise stood up and ran towards Jimmy.
"Jimmy, are you alright?"
Louise had witnessed Jimmy's selfless act of saving her just now.
It had to be said, this changed her impression of Jimmy somewhat.
"I'm fine, Homelander arrived in time, so I didn't lose my life after all."
Jimmy watched Eric continuously knock down the roaring Parademons charging in the sky above, patting his chest with lingering fear as he spoke.
"But what exactly are these monsters?"
He swallowed hard, asking Louise nervously.
Louise's face was accidentally scraped and bleeding from her previous tumble.
The blood mixed with the dirt she picked up made her look very disheveled.
"You shouldn't ask me, Jimmy, because I'm not the kind of woman who looks several times smarter than you, able to guess what these abominations are just by guessing."
Louise complained to her partner.
She let out a deep breath and asked Jimmy, "Did you contact the police station?"
"I wanted to."
Jimmy said, pulling out his phone from his pocket and showing Louise the shattered screen.
"But during the escape just now, my phone was too damaged to use anymore."
"Okay, great, Jimmy, after throwing away your camera, you've achieved another feat, which is destroying another item used for escaping, or making you less disheveled."
Louise said to Jimmy exasperatedly.
Her own camera had also accidentally broken during the run, and she had originally thought she could borrow Jimmy's camera or phone to capture the scene, but now there was nothing left.
This couldn't help but make her show an extremely frustrated expression, only able to focus her gaze on Eric, watching how he took down these suddenly appearing monsters.
"I hope Eric can take down these monsters. There won't be any accidents, right?!"
Louise whispered to herself.
Eric, watched by Louise, used Heat Vision to eliminate most of the Parademons, then turned his attention to the portal that had appeared in the sky.
He knew what these creatures were, and he knew where these monsters called "Parademons" came from.
With a look of confusion in his eyes, Eric instantly flew near the portal.
Had Darkseid of Apokolips descended already?
No!
In any world, it was too early for this war!
Red lasers shot from his eyes, taking down the winged Parademons that charged at him, as many thoughts raced through Eric's mind.
But his movements showed no delay as he continued to attack the charging demons.
After sending a charging Parademon flying with one strike, before Eric could react, a Parademon preparing a sneak attack flew behind Eric and fiercely struck him in the back.
Bang!
It wasn't Eric who was injured, but the Parademon that launched the sneak attack.
The Parademon's shoulder blade was hit, letting out a muffled groan, and it flew out diagonally.
With a loud crash, it heavily landed on the ground.
The ground trembled slightly from the impact.
The Parademon, lying on its back, immediately flipped over before Eric could arrive, preparing to continue fighting.
However, what it faced was the bombardment of Heat Vision.
With a "boom," the Heat Vision, possessing immense energy and destructive power, struck its body, instantly blasting it into bloody foam.
Blood erupted, forming a foul-smelling mist of blood in a small area.
Although Eric continuously blasted these charging demon armies, because the portal had not closed, the number of Parademon creatures did not significantly decrease.
Furthermore, the subsequent demons emerging from the "Boom Tube" were covered in armor, making them even more powerful in combat.
Seeing that their army could not withstand Eric, the demon armies released a deadly smoke.
The vision-obscuring smoke rapidly spread.
The green, toxic smoke made Eric frown.
These guys weren't entirely stupid; they even understood biochemical warfare!
However...
He snorted coldly, "This is as far as it goes!"
Emanating a strong killing intent, Eric simply took a deep breath, and these things were instantly absorbed into his mouth.
The smoke surrounding him vanished without a trace in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out as the demon armies turned into fireworks in the air, all blown apart by Eric's Heat Vision.
He had played enough; his interest in these things had gradually faded.
On the other side, Lex Luthor, with the help of his bodyguards and the newly researched bioweapon, fled in a disheveled state into the company building.
The Parademons that crashed through the glass were killed by his bodyguards using firearms.
But due to the vast difference in combat power between the two sides, the bodyguards armed with firearms were quickly killed by these monsters.
Only the bioweapon he had just created still possessed some combat power, protecting him as he retreated to the laboratory at the bottom of the building.
That underground laboratory was where he believed was the safest place.
Running quickly, feeling like his lungs were about to leap out, Lex gasped for air, simultaneously turning his head to look at Eric in the sky.
Although he ruled the nation with violence, at critical moments, he was the one protecting the existence of this country?
Lex watched Eric's figure, a momentary confusion flashing in his eyes.
During his run, with the help of the "bioweapon," Lex took out a fire mask from a temporary fire safety cabinet and put it on.
Although he didn't know what the spreading smoke was, the most important thing now was not to touch anything related to these monsters.
Lex wore the mask, many thoughts racing through his mind.
Even if his mask had anti-toxic functions, he couldn't be 100% sure it could block these poisonous smokes.
Bang!
He was thinking about how to safely reach his destination when he unexpectedly saw a Parademon suddenly charge over.
Accompanying the sound of glass shattering with a "crash," the bioweapon beside him failed to dodge in time and was violently knocked away.
After a loud crash, the bioweapon hit a pillar, causing the marble pillar to crack before it "thudded" to the ground.
It then lay motionless on the ground, seemingly having passed out.
Lex, who hadn't reacted to anything, stood stunned for 5 seconds, then was tackled by another charging Parademon.
Lex fell heavily to the ground, sliding across the hard stone slab.
Although he dodged at the last moment, avoiding the Parademon's attack on his weak points, his shoulder was still pierced.
Clutching his bleeding shoulder, Lex gritted his teeth and immediately tore off a corner of his black suit to bandage his wound.
At this moment, the Parademon did not attack him, seemingly attracted by the explosions outside.
"This is my chance!"
Taking a deep breath, Lex adjusted his gas mask and quickly stood up.
Holding his breath, he swiftly moved towards a blind spot in the Parademons' line of sight, a place where they temporarily couldn't see him.
By the time he ran behind another pillar, he was already over twenty meters away from the Parademons attacking him in the air.
However, the sound he made had already alerted the Parademons, and he was completely exposed in their line of sight.
"Bang!"
The Parademon used its speed to quickly move in front of Lex, its right claw striking directly at his chest.
A piercing pain stung his muscles.
The creature's claw had already penetrated deep into his muscle; just a few more centimeters, and it could easily tear his heart.
However, at this moment, the Parademon suddenly stopped moving.
Its eyes showed a look of terror, and its body seemed frozen in mid-air, like a puppet afraid to move.
Boom!
The next second, the Parademon's head exploded with a boom, flesh and blood splattering outwards.
