Bai Qi, holding the advantage, showed no signs of slackening. Instead, he launched even fiercer assaults, further expanding his lead.
He grabbed the Kryptonian by the neck, driving him down from high in the sky. Simultaneously, he unleashed a barrage of punches towards the other's head. The force was so immense that the Kryptonian was momentarily stunned.
Bai Qi gave the Kryptonian no chance to recover, leveraging the fact that he wouldn't dare use full power on Earth to unleash a relentless offensive.
He pounded the Kryptonian from the sky to the ground. Even after the impact, Bai Qi didn't stop. He dragged the Kryptonian forward by the neck, scraping his body across the ground. As the Kryptonian attempted to resist, Bai Qi precisely shot two heat beams.
Just as Bai Qi was single-handedly battering the Kryptonian, Diana, from behind, threw her Lasso of Truth, entangling Bai Qi and restraining his movements, pulling him away from the Kryptonian.
Looking at the Lasso of Truth wrapped around him, Bai Qi scoffed. Did this thing really think it could bind him? It was underestimating him far too much.
As Bai Qi prepared to exert his strength and break free, before he could even move, a giant green hand descended from the sky, slamming Bai Qi, who hadn't managed to escape in time, into the ground.
"Did I hit him too hard?"
Green Lantern, hovering in the sky, mused as he looked at Bai Qi buried in the earth.
As soon as he spoke, the green hand disintegrated into fragments. Bai Qi emerged from the ground, holding Diana's Lasso of Truth in his hand.
"When did he..."
Diana had great confidence in the Lasso of Truth's capabilities. She hadn't expected to falter today.
While Diana's physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, and she possessed the ability to fly, she was still considerably weaker than the Kryptonian.
Bai Qi, holding the Lasso of Truth in both hands, gave a mighty tug. Diana, caught off guard, was pulled towards him. Her reception was Bai Qi's fist.
*Bang!*
Even though Diana adjusted her body as much as possible to evade Bai Qi's attack, his speed was too great. She was ultimately hit in the abdomen and sent flying a hundred meters away.
After sending Diana flying, Bai Qi raised his hand. A colossal telekinetic force enveloped Green Lantern in the sky from all directions. As Bai Qi slowly closed his fingers, the telekinetic force compressed Green Lantern's body. Even though he used the power of his ring to reinforce his entire body, he couldn't hold on for more than three seconds. The shield formed by the ring crumbled under the telekinetic pressure.
As the telekinetic force continued to squeeze, the sound of bones cracking echoed from Green Lantern's body. If this continued, he would soon be crushed into a meatball.
At the critical moment, the Kryptonian attacked from behind. He grabbed Bai Qi with both hands and flew upwards. Soon, they reached outer space, beyond Earth.
Without Bai Qi's continuous exertion, the telekinetic force crushing Green Lantern dissipated. However, Green Lantern, severely injured, had fallen unconscious and was being taken to the hospital by the Titans for treatment.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
During the previous engagement, the Kryptonian had already realized that the opponent's strength far surpassed any previous adversary. To minimize the collateral damage to Earth, he decisively took Bai Qi and moved the battlefield to outer space.
But when he arrived in outer space with Bai Qi, the sight before him unsettled him.
In the pitch-black expanse of the universe floated the wreckage of ships, large and small, along with the corpses of the Kree. Looking at Bai Qi, who now had a smile on his face, the Kryptonian's expression became extremely grim.
Time rewound half an hour, back to when Bai Qi and Luthor had just arrived at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
As the two arrived at the ceremony, fleets of warships had long been waiting in orbit.
These fleets were entirely controlled by mutated creatures. No, these mutated creatures could no longer be called mutated creatures; they were now known as Demonic Beasts.
Upon obtaining the super genes of the first-generation demon warriors from Liang Bing, Bai Qi immediately began experimentation. With the assistance of the celestial computer, he quickly created mutated creature individuals capable of perfectly integrating the demon warrior super genes.
The Demonic Beasts, after fusing with the demon warrior super genes, possessed attributes that far exceeded Bai Qi's imagination, along with exceptional learning abilities and intelligence far beyond normal humans.
However, this also brought about a problem.
Previously, he dared to create mutated creatures on such a large scale because they were used as biological weapons, and their simple minds made them easy to manage.
Now, the Demonic Beasts created by fusing mutated creatures with demon warrior super genes possessed extremely high intelligence. One wrong move could lead to a massive rebellion.
If that were to happen, it would be like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
Furthermore, with their appearances, neither of them could emulate Liang Bing and control the entire demon civilization solely through personal charisma. After all, the nickname "Savage Savage" wasn't just for his longevity but also for his wild appearance. Although he exuded an aura of regality and dominance, relying solely on that to subdue all the Demonic Beasts was unlikely.
As for Bai Qi, he could previously rely on primal instincts to instill fear in the mutated creatures. But now, they had evolved into Demonic Beasts. Who could guarantee anything?
In response, Savage's idea was to implant a program into the minds of the Demonic Beasts. If they harbored any rebellious thoughts, this program would immediately activate, causing their brains to cease functioning.
Bai Qi's solution was even more drastic. He extracted several strands of genes from his own demon dragon henchmen and, using the celestial computer's calculations, encoded them into the Demonic Beasts.
This way, while giving the Demonic Beasts some draconic characteristics and slightly enhancing their strength, it also deepened their fear of Bai Qi. This allowed Bai Qi to perceive the existence of each Demonic Beast and control their actions, much like he controlled his demon dragon subordinates. He could even, through a secret technique, temporarily take control of a designated Demonic Beast's body.
An army was assembled, and the weaponry could not be lacking.
While the Demonic Beasts were being mass-produced, new warships were also being accelerated in production. The spaceships previously manufactured in the main universe also underwent a wave of modification and upgrades.
Now was the time to test their might.
Upon receiving Bai Qi's command to attack, the warship fleet disengaged from stealth mode and appeared directly around the Kree warships.
Of course, dealing with mere Kree was overkill for deploying the entire fleet.
Just as the saying goes, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? For this attack on the Kree, Bai Qi deployed less than a tenth of his fleet.
The sudden appearance of unknown warships caught the Kree completely off guard. By the time they reacted, Bai Qi's fleet had already completed a round of laser bombardment.
More than half of the Kree warships were reduced to cosmic debris.
