One, two, five, ten, hundreds, thousands of black figures poured out of the portal in an endless stream.
They wore form-fitting black combat suits, with cloaks as dark as ink flowing behind them.
A large diamond silhouette adorned their chests, with an 'S'-like letter embedded within.
"It's Superman!"
"Kryptonians!"
Some of the black-robed figures quickly recognized the iconic attire.
A cold dread then washed over them.
They couldn't comprehend where so many Kryptonians had suddenly appeared from to join the fray.
Furthermore, the auras emanating from these Kryptonians were far more potent than the 'Man of Steel' depicted in the movies.
These Kryptonians posed a deadly threat.
As fast as the portal opened, the Kryptonians flew out even faster, giving the black-robed figures no time to react!
As the portal closed, a total of five thousand, no, five thousand and two Kryptonians had entered the Ultra-Solid Universe.
The battle between the black-robed figures and the mechanical lifeforms momentarily halted, all eyes now fixed on the Kryptonians.
"Is this the place where beings that threaten the universe exist?"
Amidst the dense ranks of Kryptonians, a man and a woman slowly floated forward, taking the front of the formation.
"But why don't I see Lin Feng?"
The Kryptonian scanned his surroundings, a hint of confusion in his voice.
The situation before them was easily understood: one side was clad in the distinctive attire and equipped with mechanical devices of the mechanical lifeform race.
The other side was uniformly dressed in black robes.
"Lin Feng seems to be fighting elsewhere."
The female Kryptonian's gaze shifted towards the rear.
She possessed long golden hair, a result of diligently training in the time domain and choosing to forgo temporal grooming.
She was a head shorter than the male Kryptonian.
However, she had grown significantly since Lin Feng first met her, transforming from a child into a young woman.
Her name was Kara Zor-El.
[Clark? Kara? What are you doing here?]
Lin Feng's voice echoed in the minds of Kara and the male Kryptonian beside her, Clark, at the opportune moment.
[Lin Feng?]
Hearing Lin Feng's surprised voice, Clark chuckled.
[Long time no see, Lin!]
[My goodness, it truly has been a long time. I never expected to see you under these circumstances...] Lin Feng replied in Clark's mind, his voice laced with amusement.
[Yes, I also didn't expect you to be busy with this kind of thing all these years!]
[Your clone told me a war that would determine the fate of countless universes had broken out here, so I came.]
[If my senses are correct, the intervention during that battle with Steppenwolf back then was orchestrated by this organization, right!]
Clark, in this moment, displayed a greater intelligence than he did in the movies.
[Your battle seems to be quite arduous as well. Leave this place to me with peace of mind!]
[My current strength is nothing like it used to be!]
After the establishment of New Krypton, Clark frequently visited to see Kara.
Furthermore, the incidents involving Steppenwolf and the black-robed Nasya capturing Kara had instilled a sense of crisis in Clark.
Thus, in his free time, Clark would often travel to New Krypton, using the Infinity Stones to enhance his power.
With the assistance of Lin Feng's clone, Clark's absorption speed was hundreds, even thousands, of times faster than simply basking in the sun.
And it was perhaps due to some protagonist's halo from certain universes, Clark, despite having the least cultivation time, possessed the highest combat power among all the Kryptonians, which was absurd.
[Oh, speaking of which, when they learned you were in trouble, Bruce and the others also wanted to come.]
[What?!]
Lin Feng was stunned.
[Bruce is here too?]
[No, I refused them. They wouldn't be able to participate in this kind of battle.]
[Bros and Diana asked me to send you their greetings, and to invite you to visit them after the war.]
Clark replied with a smile, almost forgetting to relay everyone's regards to Lin Feng.
Good heavens! Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Bruce was fine causing trouble on Earth.
But in a situation like this, Clark would probably have to be distracted protecting him.
However, it was good that Clark had arrived; at least he could help direct the Kryptonian forces.
With his protagonist's halo, commanding his own people should be no problem.
[In that case, I won't be polite!]
[These black-robed figures have ravaged numerous universes, and their organization's purpose poses a threat to countless worlds.]
[I don't have much time to explain this to you, so remember not to show any mercy.]
[Showing mercy will bring disaster to thousands of universes!]
Lin Feng feared that Clark's kindness might lead him to command the Kryptonians not to kill, so he added a reminder.
[Understood. You focus on your fight!]
[After the war, remember to come back with me!]
[Alright!]
Cutting off the connection, Clark gazed at the dense ranks of black-robed figures.
He felt a sense of contentment upon seeing Lin Feng again.
However, the next moment, Clark's expression turned serious.
"Target: all black-robed figures. Show no mercy!"
"Do you understand?!"
Clark's voice, though not loud, was clearly heard by every Kryptonian.
"Yes!"
A crisp, unified reply echoed through the Ultra-Solid Universe, full of imposing spirit.
"Attention, do not friendly fire."
"Spread out your formations for independent attacks."
"Now, Kryptonians, join me in battle!"
Clark shouted, instantly activating his super-flight, rocketing away from his position.
A heat vision imbued with immense power appeared in the Ultra-Solid Universe, marking the official entry of the Kryptonian forces into the war!
Following suit, hundreds, thousands of heat vision beams streaked across the sky.
The war, after a brief pause, reignited!
However, this time, the black-robed figures found themselves facing an even more difficult battle...
Meanwhile, on the other side, the small team of Li Xiqian and a few others stared dumbfounded at the sudden arrival of reinforcements.
But before they could utter a word of amazement, Rodda, a member of their team, suddenly flew forward.
"Holy shit, Rodda, where are you going?!"
Li Xiqian couldn't help but curse.
Rodda was flying towards the battlefield!
Without a word, Rodda quickly flew a distance away from the team and retrieved a large teleportation device from his personal storage.
Without hesitation, he activated the device!
A massive portal opened in the Ultra-Solid Universe, though not as grand as the Kryptonians'.
Beyond the portal stood the fiercely loyal followers of Luo Yongtian and Eggett, who had rapidly assembled.
Clad in white, they quickly passed through the portal.
Just as the Kryptonians had appeared earlier, a disciplined formation of several thousand individuals lined up in the Ultra-Solid Universe.
"By order of leader Luo Yongtian and Eggett."
"Target: all black-robed figures!"
"Show no mercy, follow me into battle!"
With those two pronouncements, Rodda quickly led the thousands of his men into the already chaotic battlefield!
The white-clad phalanx surged forward, overwhelming the black-robed figures.
