Whoosh!
After throwing her rope, she pulled herself to the top of a tall building.
With agile movements, she leaped forward in the air, easily dodging the Parademons that lunged at her.
She casually raised her pistol, aimed at the charging monster, and pulled the trigger fiercely.
With a bang, the bullet hit the Parademon's abdomen, striking the monster that charged with immense force.
Scarlet blood spurted out, and Selina pulled the rope, moving herself away from where she had been standing.
Although she didn't often use firearms, Selina's familiarity with them was no less than with her other gadgets.
Taking a deep breath, Selina took a leaping step forward, used the protruding bricks on the rooftop to gain purchase, and with a strong pull, easily jumped into mid-air.
With keen vision and lightning-fast reactions, Selina pulled the trigger of her pistol.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets continuously shot out, and the Parademons closer to her all suffered.
Their bodies were hit by bullets in various places, emitting heart-wrenching roars.
Whoosh!
After firing all her bullets, Selina's body continuously plummeted.
But because she was pulled by a rope, she didn't fall all the way down.
With the rope's traction, Selina swung in the air.
But soon, more Parademons rushed over, pouncing on Selina while she couldn't react.
Seeing that she was about to be impaled by the charging monsters, Selina immediately raised her arm, exposing her elbow to protect herself.
She hoped to use her arm to reduce some of the impact damage.
At the critical moment, a figure charged towards the Parademon pouncing on her.
Boom!
The charging half-human, half-mechanical creature slammed into the Parademon, then raised a weapon similar to an impact cannon on its right wrist, aiming it at the knocked-back Parademon.
With a loud bang, the unlucky Parademon was directly reduced to ashes.
The moment the cyborg appeared, Deathstroke, Black Canary, Nightwing, and others also successively joined the battlefield.
"Hey, Wildcat! Didn't get disemboweled, did you?"
Deathstroke, located below Selina, asked her with ill intent.
Selina snorted coldly, pulling the rope and landing on the ground with a 'thud', looking towards Deathstroke and the others.
"Thanks for your concern, I think even if you end up without a complete corpse, I'll be fine!"
After mocking the other party, Selina said, "While I'm surprised you suddenly joined the battle, I'd prefer it to be Superman and Homelander, because only those two can completely resolve a situation like this!"
Nightwing shrugged at Selina; he also had a good relationship with her.
"Superman is currently heading to Metropolis, as for Homelander, I think he must be frantically busy dealing with these monsters and the nationwide invasion."
Listening to Nightwing's words, Selina's brows furrowed; she began to worry about Eric.
Could Eric really handle such a situation?
Metropolis.
Facing Eric's interrogation, Lex was speechless.
He didn't know how to face Eric, nor did he know what to say now.
"I apologize! Eric, I was indeed researching some biopharmaceutical things, but I didn't intend to hide it from you."
Lex showed a sincere expression and said, "I'm gradually adapting to this society; I need more time."
"So, your mental illness is cured?"
Eric asked him.
"Currently, I've fully recovered."
Lex said to Eric, "Thank you for saving me, Eric, I always owe you too much."
"I don't need your gratitude, Lex, it's just because you're still useful to me."
Eric directly stated his purpose.
"I know about your little schemes behind the scenes, but now is not the time for reckoning. Why?"
Eric shook his head, his eyes accumulating a reddish glow.
"Why aren't you willing to pretend to be mentally ill and stay in the mental hospital, but instead choose to be someone who refuses to play dumb?"
As Eric spoke, he cast a complicated look at Lex.
"Perhaps it's because I've always been a fighter!"
Lex faced his old friend, his expression also unusually complex.
As the two were looking at each other, a sudden loud bang came from the boom tube outside LexCorp Tower.
The air vibrated with a heart-stopping tremor.
The atmosphere was pushed away, and a strong burning scent permeated the air.
As if lava was overflowing from the channel, under the gaze of Eric and Lex, a figure slowly walked out.
A muscular body, a gorilla-like face, and battle armor covering his entire body.
The being that emerged from the channel looked down upon the entire ground with a disdainful gaze.
He coldly ordered the Parademons, "Kill all the humans on this planet, and conquer Earth!"
Eric looked at the gorilla-like being that appeared before him, his brows furrowed.
Is this the New God from Apokolips—Kalibak?!
Kalibak is from Apokolips, the eldest son of Darkseid and Suli.
His mother, Suli, was killed by Desaad, reportedly on the orders of Kalibak's grandmother, Queen Heggra.
After his mother's death, Kalibak became a legendary warrior, often serving as Darkseid's second-in-command.
After Darkseid's peace treaty with his opponent, New Genesis, was broken, Kalibak began to fight alongside his father, Darkseid, for the fate of his home on Apokolips.
As for combat power, physically, Kalibak is one of the strongest gods on Apokolips, and also the most loyal god to Darkseid.
He is almost an indispensable general among Darkseid's elites.
Kalibak possesses an incredibly superhuman level of strength, almost on par with Superman, Orion (Kalibak's half-brother), and even Darkseid himself.
Eric's mind flashed with these memories from his previous life, and he activated his ability, instantly moving in front of the opponent.
"Oh?!"
Seeing Eric's sudden appearance, a cautious look flashed in Kalibak's eyes.
He felt a powerful aura from the other party's body, an aura that even he had to be careful with.
His father had once said that dangerous Kryptonians existed on Earth.
Could it be this man?
Kalibak was about to question Eric, but unexpectedly, Eric suddenly launched an attack on him.
Eric, whose speed had increased by more than a notch, raised his combat power to the maximum.
He punched Kalibak's shoulder, sending him backward.
Eric's speed made it impossible for Kalibak to react, and with a loud bang in the air, he tumbled towards the other end of the street.
Eric flew in front of the tumbling Kalibak, who had not yet landed, and with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, hit Kalibak, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, changing direction mid-air and smashing into another direction.
Eric's close-combat ability was already almost superhuman, and even this New God from Apokolips suffered a huge disadvantage right from the start.
Boom!
Kalibak landed on the ground with a loud bang, and the marble ground rumbled.
Eric landed in front of Kalibak, grabbed the somewhat dizzy and unresponsive Kalibak, holding him by his armor, and lifted him up.
Then, without hesitation, he slammed the other party's body onto the ground.
Boom!
The ground vibrated violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
Originally, the strength gap between the two was not so huge; even if Kalibak's strength was not as good as Eric's, he would not easily lose in a regular fight.
But due to his arrogant personality, coupled with Eric's sneak attack, he suffered a great disadvantage from the start.
The arrogant New God of Apokolips, naturally unwilling to be humiliated, roared, his hair bristling.
He swung his fist, and the air-breaking fist struck Eric's raised arm.
The air exploded, as if thunder cracked in their ears.
But at this moment, Kalibak, after Eric's series of fierce attacks, was somewhat lacking in strength, and his momentum was half a step weaker, causing this attack to pose no significant threat to Eric at all.
He lifted his knee, delivering a knee strike that hit Kalibak's chin, sending him backward.
Bang!
Kalibak, who was almost spitting blood from the blow, slammed heavily onto the ground.
"I know who you are, and I know where you came from."
Eric said coldly to the other party, "But now, you've angered someone you shouldn't have!"
