"You're right."
Alex nodded with a smile, "You still have a chance."
Seeing Alex's smile, Vera's expression changed slightly. There was far too much bad intent in that smile.
"Wait, if we're going to decide the winner by force in the end, why didn't you release this spell from the start?"
A troubling thought suddenly crossed Vera's mind.
Alex did not answer.
His feet left the ground, and he slowly rose into the air.
Then crackling sounds came from his body as it gradually expanded.
Blood-red energy surged out again, surrounding Alex like blazing flames.
Divine Power 200% Output.
The ground shook from Alex's power.
Suddenly, a tornado shot into the sky and enveloped him.
His cape fluttered behind him. His figure, blurred by the tornado, stood within it. Two points of light lit up on his dimly visible face.
Then golden beams burst out from the tornado, aimed directly at the weakest member of the Justice League, Batman, Bruce Wayne.
Golden light rushed forward. As the Heat Vision swept across, the tremendous heat ignited the oxygen. Orange flames followed the beams as they blasted toward Bruce.
At that moment, Bruce felt Death grinning at him.
He remembered once again the scene from his childhood, in that dim alley, when the mugger raised a gun and pointed it at him and his parents.
Just then, a flash of lightning shot in from the side and instantly moved Bruce from his position.
Alex's two golden beams swept across the spot where Bruce had been and continued into the distance, setting off explosions and leaving behind a black trench covered with sparks.
Bruce came back to his senses and found that Barry Allen had already taken him a kilometer away.
From here, he could see the trail of destruction left by Alex's Heat Vision.
Beneath the firelight, the red cape swayed. The blond god looked toward him with indifferent eyes.
But in the next second, a figure stepped into his line of sight.
Vera!
"You bastard."
"So this was your plan all along!"
Vera's skin quickly turned green, and her body expanded.
Explosive power roared through her flesh.
She-Hulk Gene Enhancement!
Vera shouted, "Run!"
"Get out of here!"
"You're his target!"
Vera recalled the event requirements once again.
Choose one of the three major factions, Apokolips, the Justice League, or the Free Forces, and ensure that your faction ultimately obtains all three Mother Boxes.
Apokolips had already withdrawn.
'Now the only sides left are the Justice League and that blond bastard's Free Forces.'
So how could the Justice League be removed from the event?
The answer was obvious.
Make the alliance collapse.
An alliance exists because it is made up of multiple individuals.
To put it even more simply, if all the alliance members except yourself are killed, the alliance naturally ceases to exist.
How could a lone commander be called an alliance?
And compared to targeting her, going after the other alliance members was obviously much easier.
No wonder he had not rushed to release her from that damned spell after Apokolips withdrew.
He had deliberately waited until Bruce and the others arrived.
'That bastard planned from the beginning to go after Batman and the others dragging him down.'
In an instant, Vera felt she had seen through Alex's scheme.
But there was still one thing she could not understand.
If Alex wanted to break apart the alliance, why didn't he keep her trapped inside that spell?
Wouldn't attacking the alliance be easier if she remained sealed inside it?
But Vera had no time to think about that now.
She knew she had to hold Alex back.
Otherwise, that bastard would attack everyone else.
Alex looked at her and smiled, "You don't actually think I'm alone, do you?"
Alex's figure blurred.
Suddenly, another figure appeared beside him.
A man who looked exactly like him, except without the cape and without the Bracers of Hercules.
Self-Replication!
A clone possessing eighty percent of Alex's strength.
The moment the clone appeared, its muscles swelled and blood-red energy erupted from it.
It gave off a power fluctuation that could only be called terrifying.
Divine Power 200% Output!
Another Conqueror!
Bruce and the others felt their mouths go dry. A bitter feeling filled them.
"Run!"
"Get moving!", Vera shouted.
Then she raised Mjolnir and charged directly at Alex's original body.
Alex pointed toward Bruce.
The clone immediately used Teleportation and appeared beside Batman.
Heavy Punch!
Lightning flashed.
The clone hit nothing.
Its fist exploded through the air, creating ring after ring of white shockwaves.
The blackened ground around it immediately shook and buckled. The earth collapsed as huge cracks spread outward, stretching for thousands of meters.
The Flash, Barry Allen, took Bruce away once again.
Arthur charged at the clone and shouted, "You guys go first!"
Aquaman roared and leaped into the air before crashing down toward the clone.
His trident thrust forward.
The clone raised its head.
Its eyes lit up.
Heat Vision tore through the air.
Countless fireballs exploded across the sky and turned into a sea of high-temperature flames that covered the heavens.
Beneath that sea of fire, Alex and Vera were already fighting each other.
It had to be said, She-Hulk Gene Enhancement stacked with a Homelander's natural strength was also earth-shaking in terms of pure power.
Compared to Alex using Divine Power 200% Output, she was not inferior.
But after one clash, when they separated again, Vera's Stars and Stripes cape was caught by Alex.
At that moment, Alex's bracers lit up.
Bracers of Hercules, tenfold strength amplification.
Alex grabbed Vera's cape, swung her around in a full circle, and slammed her heavily into the ground.
Vera, with her platinum-blond short hair, crashed into the earth like a meteor.
The ground shook violently.
The impact was so strong that all of Russia could feel it.
Alex's throw smashed Vera into a bottomless hole.
She continued plunging deeper into the earth.
1,000 meters, 2,000 meters, 3,000 meters.
Only when she was nearly 4,000 meters underground did Vera finally stop.
Her Bio-Force Field had been almost completely drained by the impact.
From this point on, the only thing she could rely on was her Body of Steel.
"That bastard!"
With a whoosh, Vera shot back up.
She flew out of the abyss and returned to the night sky.
Then she saw Alex's fist already crashing into Cyborg Victor.
Even without the boost from the Bracers of Hercules, Divine Power combined with Strength Concentration alone was enough.
Starting from his chest, Victor's steel body shattered in midair into pieces of all sizes, which whistled down toward the ground like meteors.
"You!"
Vera was not upset about the death of one Cyborg.
But with this, the alliance had moved one step closer to collapse.
