Under the Red Dragon

#381 - Neutron Star Beast

Bang!

Conical white shock clouds erupted behind Kal-El like the fiery hoops that beasts leap through in a circus, as the Son of Tomorrow accelerated again after reaching the upper atmosphere at ten times the speed of sound.

Even the fastest fighter jets couldn't catch Superman's contrail.

Especially in the cosmic void, the environment was actually best suited for this Superman to inhabit.

His uniquely gifted genetic makeup constructed an extraordinary physique, allowing Superman to easily store solar energy in his biological cellular matrix as an energy mode connected to his body's electromagnetic field.

This powered most of his electromagnetic abilities, such as flight and heat vision with destructive power and superb detection capabilities.

It also simultaneously enhanced his physical abilities to a super high level; explained from a magical perspective, Superman received the positive magical effect of eternal blessing in the cosmic void.

Moreover, his body could absorb different types of energy, making his power virtually inexhaustible in space.

This allowed Superman to fly forward at his current fastest speed in the cosmic void, passing the Emerald Fortress guarded by the Green Lanterns above Earth and flying towards the distant stars.

His extraordinary willpower allowed Kal-El to ignore the loneliness and profundity of the cosmos; even the vast stars were within Superman's reach.

According to information provided by the European Think Tank Alliance, the shattered celestial asteroid belt was moving towards Earth at a constant speed, and Superman only needed to fly faster than that asteroid belt to detect a wealth of real information.

This would also give Earth and the Justice League ample reaction time.

After an unknown amount of flight, Kal-El suddenly felt as if a vast and boundless celestial asteroid belt had crashed into his eyes like a flash of light.

The scene witnessed by the senior members of the European Think Tank Alliance appeared in Superman's eyes: the terrifying red dragon and those monsters and angels, whose bodies were merely insignificant parts of the celestial body.

But they seemed to pull the focus of the entire space-time, instantly focusing Superman's vision on these creatures, whose aura, even in death, remained as towering and powerful as mountains.

They were at least 300,000 kilometers away from those legendary creatures, but the surrounding space already showed signs of solar storms and cosmic ray particle activity emanating from that asteroid belt.

These were continuous effects caused by weak reactions between force fields; although Kal-El didn't use his super brain much, he still knew these common sense things.

This also meant that the overall mass of that shattered celestial asteroid belt would reach an extremely terrifying level.

"What is this?"

Kal-El was also shocked; the residual energy emanating from the shattered celestial asteroid belt actually made Superman feel like it was kryptonite, which could affect Superman's genes.

Not only were the hairs all over his body growing wildly under the catalysis of these energies, but those seemingly ordinary energies seemed to possess their own will; their very existence only accounted for a fraction of Superman's body.

But these tiny energies possessed sufficient aggression and infectivity, transforming the 'ordinary' energy in Kal-El's body into energy of the same essence as itself.

A large amount of energy stored in the cellular biological matrix was consumed and converted into a small amount of exotic energy, which not only didn't make Superman feel weak, but actually made him feel a little stronger.

But every inch of the Man of Steel's skin, reaching to the ends of his limbs, began to bulge with patches of scale-like dermal layers under a sensation of intense itching.

Even the bones on his hard skull and forehead seemed to possess a strong desire to grow; two faint bulges began to appear on his forehead, as if there was life conflicting left and right under the skin of his forehead, which was extremely terrifying.

"Red Kryptonite!"

The thought flashed through Kal-El's mind.

The naturally powerful Kryptonian body also had many flaws, such as being more susceptible to induced mutations and genetic evolution.

Kryptonite of different colors, composed of different components, was the trigger for the genetic mutation and evolution of Kryptonians; red kryptonite could induce the Son of Krypton to mutate into an evil dragon form, not only would hair grow violently, but the body would also transform towards the legendary dragon form.

But Kal-El had only absorbed some energy, yet it caused such a mutation; he could only think that this was a kind of energy targeting the essence of life.

Kal-El quickly used his bio-force field to isolate the external energy, daring not to absorb the overflowing energy from the outside world as recklessly as before.

"What a terrifying ability; those legendary creatures seem not to be mere alien monsters,"

Kal-El felt that his body no longer underwent terrible changes after isolating the external energy, and then continued to fly forward.

However, he couldn't expel the energy that had already been absorbed into his body; it was a field that was different from his own, similar to magic, and Superman knew nothing about magic.

Fortunately, Superman could temporarily control his body to suppress those weak energies, isolating them outside his own energy, preventing them from eroding other cellular matrices, and then slowly grinding down these energies that Superman didn't like.

But when he continued to traverse this starry sky and reached the boundary distance said by the European Union Think Tank organization, it was like breaking into another space-time.

Even the powerful Son of Krypton couldn't escape the influence of an event horizon, falling into the interior of another space-time.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura rushed towards Superman, whose five senses were instantly unbalanced; it was a fist that was so huge that it was unbelievable, covering all the vision in front of Superman's eyes.

Kal-El's body was already considered tall and strong on Earth, but each clenched finger of this huge fist was as big as his body.

The ferocious bone spurs on the giant fist carried an indomitable will, causing Kal-El's Man of Steel body to tense instinctively.

The dense molecular structure and super bio-electromagnetic rings in Kal-El's body interacted with each other, making him almost immune to all physical attacks in the world.

No matter how sharp the blades, metal fire streams, and explosions were, they could not harm his steel bones.

Only creatures with comparable strength or kryptonite weapons and magical attacks that restrained Superman's genes could cause harm to Superman.

Moreover, he had a strong resistance to most energy attacks, which came from the defense of his bio-force field.

But when Kal-El faced this fist of pure power and savage will, he actually felt that this punch would surely shatter his once-proud steel bones.

However, having seen the data and information released by the European think tank organization, Kal-El instantly woke up, his strong willpower resisting the will that seemed to be transmitted from the images of time and space.

And his eyes' ability to see and recognize radio waves and bioelectric signals also came into effect at this moment.

As well as the Superman's eyes' microscopic vision, allowing him to observe images of objects at the atomic level when fully activated.

If Superman could develop his abilities to their full potential, he could even observe the genetic composition of other organisms, seeing the individual DNA strands that make up a certain creature.

All of these abilities allowed him to realize at this moment that the attack of this fist shadow was not directed at him, but was an illusionary existence.

So he woke up, and his hijacked visual will returned to normal.

Then he saw the dense wreckage of mechanical creations floating in the starry sky, the shattered steel bodies of planetary detection machines.

"This is not a physical attack. How could these machines be damaged here?"

Kal-El frowned, looking at the scene in the distance.

The battle in the cosmic starry sky might have been going on for too long, making those monsters and angels too tired. They were only fighting in silence, occasionally letting out angry roars.

Eight powerful monsters were besieging and intercepting two noble and holy angels in the starry sky. The ability to jump through the void and the ability to flash instantly were far more unpredictable than any fast flight.

The aftershocks of these creatures' battles shattered everything they encountered in the starry sky, but in Kal-El's eyes, these creatures' power was extremely pure, and the efficiency of their functions was extremely high, exerting the maximum effect with the smallest amount of power.

This also led to the fact that although the level of these monsters' battles did not seem very terrifying, even Superman, who was known as the 'God of Mankind', did not dare to easily withstand any blow due to the destructive power they caused.

Superman flew past these illusory echoes of time and space towards the center of this area, a vortex of flame, like a black hole, even Superman's long-range vision could not penetrate the scene inside.

But surrounding the giant vortex, everywhere were the echoes of those monsters' battles, like different fragments jumping and showing in this time and space.

"Got you, die!"

A deep shadow with a huge spider demon shadow floating above its head, beams of huge purple evil light shone down like a spider web, imprisoning the holy angel who was jumping and shuttling through the void.

Boom,

A noble king like an orc stepped from the starry sky, and a huge flail directly smashed the angel who projected holy light into a pulp.

But the holy light rising into the sky did not dissipate. The souls singing praises within it opened their arms and praised loudly.

"High-level Restoration!"

Holy light surged, and the Divine Warrior Winona Corea was reborn from the fragmented flesh and blood, wielding the holy sword and slashing down.

A tall male angel descended from the top of the spider phantom, and the Order Holy Sword with structural fission rules instantly annihilated the spider demon shadow, even wanting to kill the beautiful figure shrouded under the demon shadow together.

But huge red dragon wings stretched out, instantly descending beside his companion, raising his head high, and spewing out blazing dragon breath.

The male angel's Order Holy Sword slashed off the red dragon's wings, but was embraced and imprisoned by the red dragon's claws. The red dragon's companion stepped from the void, and the sharp long sword carried an unparalleled power of destruction, piercing the angel's body and tearing it apart instantly.

But countless souls in the holy light were praising the angel's beautiful name in a loud voice.

"We praise the beautiful name of Seraph Nigredo Machiavelli, Prayer - Complete Rebirth!"

So the holy angel returned again from the holy light, fighting with the evil dragons and monsters.

But Superman Kal-El, who was shocked by the abilities of these terrifying monsters, did not realize that his body was already too close to the battlefield of this echo of time and space. The giant red dragon's sharp claws fell down, instantly descending on the top of his head.

The will vision was instantly shrouded under the huge dragon claw, and the invincible power turned into a real attack.

Bang,

The veins on Kal-El's forehead bulged, and he punched through the silent zone of the vacuum, colliding with the dragon claw.

Superman's body flew backwards in the starry sky, but the dragon claw continued to fall towards the angel below Superman, causing a violent collision.

It was not that the dragon claw's power could defeat Superman effortlessly and still have the strength to attack the angel, but that a will was wrapped in rules, turning the illusion into reality.

Kal-El's body stopped in the starry sky. He finally understood why those planetary detection machines were damaged.

All the echoes of time and space that occurred in this area possessed a power of will that twisted the rules of reality.

In other words, no matter what creature wants to pass through this area to reach the center point, they need to face the will check during these time and space echo battles.

If the will check cannot be passed, the phantoms of those time and space echoes will turn into real attacks, destroying all outsiders.

Moreover, it is not enough to pass the will check once. As long as you face the time and space phantom, you must withstand the will check left by each of their movements and each attack.

"Damn it, these guys are really incredible existences,"

Even Superman, who was always calm, couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

But Superman strengthened his mind and continued to head towards the center of this area.

However, knowing some of the rules of this area allowed Superman to exert his unparalleled speed, carefully avoiding the images of those time and space echoes.

But the images of those time and space echoes did not appear in an orderly manner, but almost everywhere, suddenly descending.

This short distance of tens of thousands of kilometers would not take much time for Superman to fly over at his speed, but it took him a whole day to gradually approach the center.

"So tired, this is probably the first time I've had such a thought,"

Even Superman, who possessed inexhaustible vitality and steel bones, felt that his spirit was somewhat unbearable at this moment.

Kal-El stopped, he looked at the scene that was descending in front of him, and chose to stay in place, because he felt that he might be seriously injured.

But a strange creature poked its head out from the center of the giant vortex, as if ignoring those terrifying time and space echoes, quietly watching the arriving Superman.

Superman looked over, slightly startled in his heart, "Neutron star creature? Who are you?"

The strange head replied: "Me? You can call me - Beast!"
