When it came to the DC universe, the last time Lin Feng visited, he was still in his ordinary steel body.
It had been several years since then, when he had fought a battle against a demonized Clark Kent due to a system mission.
It was that very encounter that Lin Feng had truly made contact with the Black Robes.
The current situation left Lin Feng completely bewildered.
Too many variables; how had his clone been exposed? Why was he fighting that woman in the DC universe? And how did Clark Kent know about it?
"Lin Feng, why are there two of you?" Clark Kent floated to Lin Feng's side, his voice filled with surprise.
Clark Kent was not in good condition at the moment, his aura somewhat weak, and his Superman suit also bore considerable damage.
Beneath the torn suit, one could still see wounds that were slowly healing, suggesting he too had just come out of a battle.
"Now is not the time to discuss this, you should recover from your injuries first!" Lin Feng replied in a deep voice, then without waiting for Clark Kent, he directly joined the fray.
Lin Feng's offensive style was always direct and brutal, yet effective.
Psychic energy poured out, directly locking onto the Black Robe woman and creating a confinement space, rendering her unable to move.
Following this, a scorching red heat vision shot out in a straight line.
Trapped by the psychic energy, the Black Robe woman was unable to break free in a short span of time, and the heat vision struck her without fail.
However, the woman, using some unknown method, caused Lin Feng's heat vision to seemingly pass through a mere illusion, grazing her body without causing any harm.
Lin Feng's incredibly sharp dynamic vision captured that at the moment of contact, the woman's body seemed to have phased out of reality.
With a thought, Lin Feng instantly teleported behind the woman and unleashed a punch.
This punch alone was powerful enough to shatter ten Earths.
Yet, something even more bizarre occurred.
Just like the heat vision before it, the fist passed through the woman's body as if striking a 3D projection, causing no damage.
A peculiar ability!
And it didn't end there; an even stranger event unfolded the next second.
After Lin Feng threw his punch, he felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face simultaneously, sending him flying back instantly.
"What the—?!" Lin Feng, recoiling a considerable distance, had a massive question mark appear above his head.
He instinctively touched his cheek; the impact felt identical in force to the punch he had just thrown.
She had reflected his attack back at him??
【Main body, be careful, this woman's abilities are extremely bizarre!】
In his mind, his clone's voice rang out.
Lin Feng grunted, continuing to employ his psychic abilities.
【Explain in detail, what's the situation with this woman, and how did you get exposed?】
Lin Feng queried, while ceaselessly attacking with his heat vision.
There had to be a limit to phasing-type abilities, right?
He refused to believe this woman could phase indefinitely.
【Hmm, maintain communication, I need to pursue another Black Robe.】
The clone stated there was another Black Robe, causing Lin Feng's brow to furrow.
He quickly expanded his senses to several light-years, but found no other Black Robes.
At this moment, the clone had already transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from their sight, clearly having gone in pursuit.
【This woman is called Nasya, and as we analyzed last time, she is indeed a second-sequence Black Robe.】
【Her strength isn't overwhelming; at most, she's at the early multiverse level, but her skills are exceptionally strange.】
【See? Just as you're witnessing now, this dame can phase at will!】
Even across the vastness of space, the clone could communicate seamlessly with Lin Feng. He explained the current situation to Lin Feng as he flew.
Possessing most of Lin Feng's power and sharing the cosmic heart fragment channel, the clone also wielded early multiverse-level strength.
However, facing a seasoned and ruthless second-sequence Black Robe proved to be a strenuous task.
Thus, the clone, aware of its limitations and fearing unforeseen circumstances, had proactively summoned Lin Feng's main body, knowing he couldn't resolve this matter quickly.
【Oh, and don't worry, the moment she discovered my identity, I broke their wristbands.】
【They can't contact anyone else now.】
【Furthermore, I used a cosmic heart fragment to lock down her spatial teleportation abilities, preventing her from leaving this universe for the time being.】
【However, with the wristbands damaged, new Black Robes will soon arrive to investigate. We need to deal with Nasya as soon as possible if we want any chance of continuing our undercover operation.】
The clone spoke concisely, relaying the current situation at a rapid pace.
The situation was still within controllable limits, which brought a sigh of relief to Lin Feng.
His clone had been undercover for so long, on the verge of accessing core information; it would be too much of a loss to be exposed now.
【Continue, tell me how you got exposed?】
Lin Feng continued to attack the woman named Nasya, while posing the question in his mind.
【Speaking of that... it's a bit of a long story...】
【In a nutshell!】
【Ahem... We were on a mission in the DC universe,】
【And then Clark Kent recognized me...】
Upon hearing this reply, Lin Feng mentally exclaimed, "No way."
This was like encountering a liability teammate.
Wait, that didn't seem right. Wasn't the clone already disguised? How could Clark Kent recognize him?
【We carried different world auras, and Clark Kent remembered this scent!】
【That still doesn't add up. With Clark Kent's power, he shouldn't be able to analyze your aura.】
The clone offered another explanation: 【I believe it might be because Clark Kent is the protagonist of this world, and possesses some inexplicable skill bonuses...】
Lin Feng fell silent. To be honest, that possibility wasn't entirely out of the question.
【So your mission is related to Clark Kent?】
【To be precise, it's related to Kara Zor-El...】
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
【Supergirl? Clark found his cousin.】
The information about Kara's potential existence was something Lin Feng had told Clark Kent.
Clark Kent had never stopped searching for Kara, and it was fitting for the protagonist of this world that he had indeed found her.
【That's right, the current Kara has fallen into the hands of another Black Robe, and he is the one I am pursuing.】
【His strength is nowhere near Nasya's, but his evasion skills are top-notch.】
【But don't worry, they have lost the means to escape this world. As I said, let's resolve this as quickly as possible!】
While the two communicated rapidly, less than a minute had passed in the outside world.
Within that minute, Lin Feng had unleashed dozens of heat vision blasts, yet Nasya remained unharmed.
Clark Kent watched from the side with a sense of apprehension. He could feel that Lin Feng had become even more powerful since their last encounter, but he remained puzzled as to why there were two of him.
Honestly, he really wanted to pursue Kara, but he couldn't bear to leave Lin Feng alone to deal with Nasya.
What's more, Kara's location had become untraceable for him.
