Let me show you a new way Chapter 078

Sunlight.

The warmest thing in this world.

The yellow star selflessly showered its light and heat upon Earth, nurturing life.

And also creating Superman.

Kryptonian cells, under yellow sunlight, absorb the sun’s power and store it within their cells. The intense light energy strengthens a Kryptonian’s physique, and with further exposure, it enhances speed, strength, and even develops superpowers like heat vision, super-hearing, X-ray vision, and so on.

The Kryptonians’ home planet was red, so on their own planet, they were just a very ordinary group of humans. But as their planet faced imminent destruction, Jor-El, a renowned Kryptonian scientist, placed his child into a spaceship and sent him to Earth.

Thus creating Superman.

Ultraman’s process was quite similar. His star was blue. As his planet faced imminent destruction, everyone was busy putting their children into escape pods. However, a couple from the Il family, to prevent other children from posing a threat to their family when they grew up, killed everyone who wanted to board an escape pod, and placed their only child into the ship.

Finally, Krypton exploded, and the entire planet transformed into a giant, emerald-green chunk of Kryptonite, plummeting to Earth along with the shockwave of the explosion and the spaceship.

The energy of Kryptonite strengthens his body, granting him numerous superpowers, but sunlight weakens him, severing the link between Kryptonite energy and his body.

He was getting weaker.

He was getting weaker.

Ultraman let out a tragic cry. The sunlight pouring over him felt like sulfuric acid, causing him immense pain. The Kryptonite energy within his cells was constantly depleting.

He continued to punch Superman and Superboy in the back, but they no longer let out agonizing screams. The sunlight shining on them was giving them strength.

Ultraman finally stopped punching.

“Please, please! Let me go!” Ultraman pleaded. Superman and Superboy released him. The two of them stood together, with the giant star behind them.

Ultraman wailed desperately, begging for mercy. The solar radiation weakened him more and more. He even began to feel shortness of breath and unbearable pain. He curled up his body, hiding in the shadow cast by Superman’s body, softly pleading.

“Please, please…” Ultraman continued to beg softly, the constant physical pain tormenting him to the point of madness.

[Coast City]

“You can’t defeat me, I’m the strongest! The strongest!” the Ring Bearer screamed arrogantly, as a dazzling green light shot towards Poison Ivy.

Previously, Poison Ivy had never dared to directly block his beams, because the power contained within them was simply too immense. No matter how sturdy a shield she materialized, it was difficult to withstand.

But this time, she blocked it.

A familiar green shield easily stopped the beam.

“How… how could this be? Why? Why did she block it, Ring!!!” The Ring Bearer instantly panicked. His arrogant and smug expression vanished in an instant. Now, he was only flustered.

[Because you’ve wasted too much energy, you fool!] The voice from within the ring cursed loudly.

[You kept showing off your power. I told you to focus on killing them, because they can easily dodge your attacks. Their energy is infinite, you fool!!!]

“What… what should I do, Ring, what should I do! They’re rushing over to attack me, they’re going to kill me!” The Ring Bearer screamed frantically again. He nervously shot green beams at the three, but the energy within them was simply too little, and the attack power too weak. There wasn’t even a shred of willpower, that most important willpower for a Lantern.

[Don’t waste energy, you idiot. You can’t hurt them. Recharge me, recharge me!] The ring shrieked again.

“No, no, please, I don’t want to recharge again, that’s too terrifying!” The Ring Bearer pleaded desperately, but the ring completely ignored him, summoning a space on its own. Countless tentacles emerged from within, wrapping around the Ring Bearer’s arm.

The tentacles brought immense pain to the Ring Bearer, but they were also slowly replenishing energy. Then…

A giant green Venus flytrap suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swallowing the Ring Bearer whole! It continued to chew inside, and red blood and shredded flesh seeped from between the flytrap’s teeth.

“Oh, oh, oh! My God! What are you doing?!” Beast Boy looked in horror at Poison Ivy beside him. Poison Ivy nonchalantly directed the ring, and the Venus flytrap formed by green light continued to chew.

“I’m killing this criminal!” Poison Ivy turned her head, looking somewhat perplexed at Beast Boy’s horrified face. The materialized Venus flytrap continued to chew, with blood and minced flesh clearly visible spewing from it. There was even a piece of hair with scalp attached that fell out. Zatanna, who was nearby, immediately vomited. Although she was a sorceress and had seen many strange creatures and magical crimes, this was the first time she had witnessed something so stimulating and bloody firsthand.

“Bang—”

A green light burst through the Venus flytrap materialized by Poison Ivy. The materialized object suddenly dissipated, and a green ring, enveloped in green light, flew away at an extremely high speed.

[Host is deceased, cannot be utilized.]

[Searching for new host.]

The Ring Bearer’s flesh, which had been chewed by the Venus flytrap, had already turned into a disgusting mass of meat. As the materialized object vanished, it plopped onto the ground. There were still the Ring Bearer’s unchewed bones and fingers, as well as some internal organs.

“Alright, that was indeed a bit disgusting!” Poison Ivy couldn’t help but turn her head away. Beast Boy beside her was already on his knees, desperately vomiting.

“This isn’t just a matter of being disgusting, ugh… you killed someone, that’s wrong!” Beast Boy said, the urge to vomit still strong in his throat.

“Ah! Damn it! Of course I can kill him, he’s an alien invading Earth, why can’t I kill him?” Poison Ivy pouted. She summoned a large number of plants from the ground. Countless swelling plants wrapped around the Ring Bearer’s corpse, dragging it underground. This flesh could be used as fertilizer, and the plants here could grow well. Poison Ivy looked at the clean grass, nodding with satisfaction.

“Killing people is wrong!” Beast Boy still stubbornly insisted.

“You should say that to the police, the military, or the president!” Poison Ivy retorted impatiently, then pulled out several IDs from her person. She had done a lot of greening work in the past, so she had reached agreements with many high-ranking officials in various countries.

“And I have a license to kill, you idiot!”
