Chapter 367 Du Mu Goes to Hell
Just moments before, Du Mu had inadvertently maximized the scope of his taunts, drawing the hatred of all the nearby Kryptonian warriors, who came to him with bloodshot eyes.
Unable to bear their scorching sun any longer, Du Mu decisively turned and fled.
However, the effect of the Taunt Fruit continues.
The Kryptonian warriors jumped onto their respective spaceships, flooring the accelerator and relentlessly chasing after Du Mu, completely forgetting their crucial duty of protecting the world's engine.
Du Mu used various serpentine maneuvers in the air to nimbly dodge the dense energy attacks behind him.
But he knew very well that simply dodging was not a long-term solution; he had to find a way to get rid of the Kryptonian warriors behind him.
Just then, he caught a glimpse of the message Bruce had just sent in the chat group, and an idea instantly formed in his mind.
Du Mu accelerated at full speed, temporarily shaking off his pursuers. He swooped down and landed on the ground, hoisted the Kryptonian spaceship from Bruce's side, and sped off towards the World Engine.
As he took off, he turned on the external loudspeaker of the Ultron armor.
"All eyes are on me, I'm about to announce something: everyone here is trash!"
Upon hearing this, the Kryptonian warriors behind him instantly erupted in anger.
"Kill him!"
"Tear this piece of earth to shreds!"
Without a second thought, the Kryptonian warriors raced after Du Mu at breakneck speed.
The Kryptonian scientist who had been knocked away by Barry also crawled out of the rubble and rushed over.
Bruce tensed up, assuming a fighting stance, while Barry stood frozen in place, looking completely bewildered.
Just when the two thought a fierce battle was inevitable, the Kryptonian scientist didn't even glance at them, ran straight past them, and at the same time pressed a device on his wrist to summon a spaceship.
"Damn Earthling, how dare you call me trash! Stop right there!"
The Kryptonian scientist, cursing a string of Kryptonian slang, leaped onto the ship, its engines roaring as it followed the main force in pursuit of Du Mu.
Bruce:
66

Barry:

On the other side of the battlefield, Fiora is engaged in a deadly battle with Diana.
Thanks to the continuous amplification from the Earth and the Sun, Fiora's physical strength has reached an astonishing level.
Diana's demigod body was equally formidable, but in a pure physical confrontation with Kryptonians, she was ultimately slightly inferior.
However, she had the advantage of having a lot of equipment, with every part of her body being a powerful artifact. Relying on the advantage of her equipment, Diana and Fiora fought back and forth, with neither of them gaining the upper hand.
Fiora seized the moment when Diana was sheathing her sword and punched Diana in the face, sending her flying several meters away.
Diana braced her feet firmly against the ground, carving two deep furrows in the asphalt, and forced herself to steady herself. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes growing increasingly fierce.
Fiora's lips curled into a contemptuous smile: "It's not too late to run away now. If we keep fighting, I can't guarantee your face will still be intact."
Diana gripped the Godslayer Sword tightly, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground: "A true female warrior doesn't care about her appearance."
Before she finished speaking, she exerted her strength and shot out like an arrow.
She first thrust her sword straight at Fiora's heart, forcing Fiora to raise her hand to block. Then, she suddenly twisted her wrist, and the blade drew a tricky arc, grazing Fiora's cheek.
A thin, long bloodstain instantly appeared on Fiora's fair face, and blood slowly seeped out.
This is clearly a deliberate act of retaliation.
Diana scoffed, "But you really should be careful. My sword doesn't have eyes; it wouldn't be good if it left hundreds of scars on your face."
Fiora: "6"
""
The two women locked eyes, their gazes blazing with intense light.
The next moment, their fighting style became exceptionally fierce, with punches and swords aimed directly at each other's faces.
Just as the two were about to collide again, Fiora suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
High in the sky, Du Mu carried the entire Kryptonian spaceship at full speed, heading straight for the World Engine that hovered above the city.
Upon seeing this, a rare hint of panic appeared on Fiora's usually cold and aloof face.
"Stop him!"
Fiora could no longer afford to fight Diana. She unleashed her full power, forcing Diana back with a punch, and her figure transformed into a streak of light as she rushed towards Du Mu.
Her speed was so extreme that the air in her path was torn apart, and the continuous sonic booms shattered the glass curtain walls of countless buildings in the city.
But it was all too late.
Du Mu had already arrived directly in front of the World Engine, his hands firmly supporting the bottom of the spaceship, his palms emitting a blinding white light.
Charge up and throw!
He flung the heavy Kryptonian spaceship out, and it slammed heavily onto the world engine.
Boom!
After a deafening roar, a terrifying energy surge erupted from the impact center.
The surrounding space violently twisted and tore apart, and a miniature black hole suddenly formed in the void.
While it's called a black hole, it's more accurate to describe it as a subspace portal leading to the Phantom Zone.
That was a prison dimension exclusive to Kryptonians, unrestricted by the laws of physics, where time and space operated in a completely different way.
General Zod and his rebel army were exiled to this place.
This portal has similar properties to a black hole, but it only absorbs matter and energy that has ever entered or come into contact with the phantom zone.
Clark's spaceship is equipped with the Phantom Drive system, and the World Engine itself is equipped with a Phantom Projector; both are products of Phantom Zone technology.
Once the portal was opened, they were pulverized into countless fragments by the terrifying suction force and greedily swallowed into the subspace.
Those Kryptonians who chased after Du Mu after his mockery were not spared either.
As soon as they flew near the World Engine, they felt an irresistible force pull their bodies away, and they and their ship were swallowed up by the portal.
Screams rose and fell, quickly disappearing into the vortex.
Only Du Mu remained unharmed.
He had never been to the Phantom Zone and was not on the portal's invitation list, so he was naturally unaffected.
"No--!"
A fierce roar echoed through the sky.
Fiora charged forward with a ferocious expression, glaring at Du Mu with eyes full of despair and rage.
"You destroyed Krypton! You destroyed all our hope!"
Du Mu chuckled: "I'm just stopping you from destroying the Earth. I'm a superhero protecting the Earth."
Fiora wouldn't listen to anything she said.
With the world engine destroyed, Krypton's last hope for reconstruction was shattered, and in the face of utter despair, an unprecedented and terrifying power was born.
She lunged forward, grabbed Du Mu tightly, and rushed towards the still-open teleportation portal without regard for anything else.
"I'll make you pay!"
The light and shadows before my eyes suddenly vanished, and a strong sense of weightlessness swept over my entire body.
After a dizzying moment, his vision gradually cleared, and Du Mu crashed heavily onto a hard surface.
He stood up and looked around, his eyes meeting an endless expanse of desolate Gobi Desert.
A dark purple sky covered the surrounding area. There was no sun or moon, only scattered nebulae emitting a faint, cold light. The ground was covered with dark red sand and jagged rocks. The entire space was desolate and lifeless.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Fiora landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She stared intently at Du Mu, her tone icy and crazed: "This is the Phantom Zone. Time does not flow in this dimension. Those who enter here will not age, will not starve, and will not die. They will be forever frozen in the state they were in when they entered. Without a dedicated phantom projector, no one can escape from this place."
Du Mu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wouldn't this place be a paradise for cattle and horses? They don't need to rest or eat, and they can work 24 hours a day."
Fiora:
""
Is this the key point?
She took a deep breath, her tone growing increasingly chilling: "It seems you still don't understand the consequences. In other words, you and I will be trapped here forever, enduring endless loneliness and mental torment. This is the price you pay for destroying Krypton!"
Immortality in the Phantom Zone is never a blessing, but the cruelest curse.
There is no entertainment, no change, no vitality here. Even the strongest will will eventually crumble in the endless silence and become a walking corpse.
However, Du Mu didn't care at all.
He chuckled and said, "You Kryptonians are so inflexible. Why do you have to modify Earth and do all this genetic engineering? Can't you just reproduce naturally like Clark's parents?"
"Now that it's just the two of us, as a righteous superhero, I'm willing to contribute my body and genes to rebuild Kryptonian civilization."
Du Mu straightened his back, displaying an image of selflessness and willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
Fiora trembled with rage, gritting her teeth as she said, "I won't let you get away with this. I'll cripple your limbs, rendering you unable to move, and then throw you into this desolate wasteland, where you'll suffer endless torment in eternal silence."
As soon as she finished speaking, several figures appeared beside her.
They were all Kryptonian warriors who had been swept into the portal earlier. All of them stared intently at Du Mu, their eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.
This time it wasn't because of the taunt potion.
The Kryptonians have the idea of protecting Krypton etched into their genes. Krypton is their lifelong faith and obsession, and the only meaning of their lives.
By destroying the world's engine, Du Mu effectively extinguished all their hopes; this enmity is irreconcilable.
Facing a group of Kryptonian warriors eyeing him covetously, Du Mu said awkwardly, "So there are still so many brothers here. Looks like you don't need me anymore. Um, I forgot to turn off my clothes when I went out. I need to go back and air out the gas. Bye everyone."
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Grab him!"
At Fiora's command, she took the lead and gave chase.
The other Kryptonian warriors immediately followed, and several figures engaged in a fierce chase across the desolate Gobi Desert.
Du Mu sped forward at full speed, with the Ultron armor's thrusters at maximum.
The Kryptonian warriors were also incredibly fast, especially Fiora, who was getting closer and closer to him, harassing him with heat rays from time to time.
Du Mu quickly glanced at the game map and found that he was still in combat and could not teleport remotely at all.
Suddenly, two beams of heat shot from above at an angle. Du Mu was unable to dodge in time and was grazed on the thigh. He lost his balance and crashed hard into the black rock wall next to him.
As soon as Du Mu stood up, leaning against the rock wall, the Kryptonian warriors surrounded him, but kept them at a certain distance to prevent him from retaliating with Kryptonite.
"You can't escape."
Fiora stood in the very center of the encirclement, looking at Du Mu with an icy expression.
Du Mu remained completely calm and gave the Kryptonians a friendly gesture.
"You idiots, you can enjoy yourselves here. I'm leaving now. Bye-bye."
Before anyone could react, Du Mu immediately pulled out an old-fashioned scroll from the game's inventory and tore it open.
[Item: Random Teleport Scroll (Instantly teleports you to a random location; can be used in combat)]
The moment the scroll shattered, a mysterious glimmer of light enveloped Du Mu's entire body.
The next second, Du Mu's figure vanished from the spot without leaving a trace.
Fiora froze on the spot, the madness and ferocity on her face instantly solidified, and then she completely erupted.
"No--!"
Du Mu certainly wouldn't stay and fight to the death with these Kryptonians.
Even if he could win against so many Kryptonians, he would waste a lot of items, making it a complete loss.
Running away decisively is the wisest choice.
The only regret is that this hasty escape prevented the activation of the Phantom Zone's map teleportation point.
However, he was not worried. In the future, as long as he obtained the core technology of the Phantom Projector from Clark, he could travel to and from this dimension at any time.
"Speaking of which, where did this come from?"
Du Mu surveyed his surroundings and saw a crimson world.
Everywhere were ruins of dilapidated buildings, and the howling wind whipped up scorching sand and gravel. The air was thick with an aura of annihilation, and everything seemed to be in a state of decay and death.
He found the scene before him somewhat familiar, as if he had seen images of nuclear explosions online.
The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of sulfur.
Du Mu has been handling exorcism cases frequently recently, so he is very familiar with this aura; it is the aura unique to hell.
In other words, this place is hell?
"Why am I teleported to Hell? I'm not that bastard Constantine. Shouldn't a good person like me be teleported to Heaven?"
Du Mu was speechless. With such a large random teleportation range, how did he end up being teleported to this godforsaken place?
What a hell place.
But since he'd already come all this way, it would be a shame to leave now, especially since he'd used up an important escape item.
Du Mu looked at the game map and found that there were also inactive teleportation anchor points here.
He immediately made up his mind to wander around and explore, and activate the teleportation points on this map, so that his trip wouldn't be in vain.
Before Du Mu could get far, dozens of shriveled demons with long, twisted limbs crawled out from the cracks in the ruins.
Their empty eyes stared intently at Du Mu, making strange hoarse noises, their eyes filled with greed.
"It's a living human being!"
"He smells so good, he must smell amazing!"
"I'm going to eat him!"
Du Mu was like a durian in a sealed space; his living scent was particularly conspicuous in this hellish place. The demons realized that Du Mu was alive and immediately roared as they attacked from all directions.
