Before anyone could react, the 'Superman' in the sky descended like a meteor, his fists raining down on the giant arthropods that were about to attack the Guardians and the Teen Team.
These Inner World kings, whose bodies were comparable to Godzilla's and whose combat power could suppress The Immortal and War Woman, were as vulnerable as tofu under 'Superman's' fists. In an instant, amidst the green insect rain, hundreds of giant arthropods died.
"No!"
"My darlings!!"
"Stop it, Superman! You can't do this! I'm going to report you to the Insect and Arthropod Protection Association!"
Dr. Earthquake watched the giant arthropods fall silent in a flash. He clutched his head, wailing in agony and roaring unwillingly.
"..."
Unfortunately, the man in the black battle suit couldn't be bothered with him and simply continued eliminating what he needed to eliminate.
"Superman, these subterranean people seem to possess a certain level of intelligence. They are highly intelligent beings capable of communication. Perhaps they were merely deceived by Dr. Earthquake; we might even..."
War Woman, despite being tied to a cross by Dr. Earthquake and the subterranean people, still didn't forget to plead for them.
After all, in War Woman's eyes, these subterranean people hadn't done anything too outrageous.
In War Woman's opinion, a hero, of course, must have a benevolent heart.
"Smash!"
In response, the 'Superman' in black seemed to ignore War Woman's words, violently destroying every subterranean person present.
The structure of these subterranean people was peculiar; their bodies would emit magma after being killed.
In a flash, magma spilled everywhere, replacing the eyes of the 'giant insects' and providing light for the underground palace.
"..."
At once, War Woman's words caught in her throat; she couldn't utter a single sound.
"Don't you think there's something off about this Superman?"
At this moment, The Immortal seemed to have discovered a blind spot. He looked at this Superman who, from beginning to end, had not exchanged any words with anyone, and whose movements were incredibly swift in eliminating every enemy. He couldn't help but ask.
"He is not Superman."
War Woman replied with certainty.
"Facial recognition error."
"Facial recognition error."
"Facial recognition error."
Robot was continuously scanning the face of the Superman in the black battle suit with his scanner, but no matter how he scanned, the conclusion was always an identification error.
"He has concealed his true face."
Robot analyzed for a bit and then reached a conclusion.
However, the efficiency of the Superman in the black battle suit far exceeded everyone's imagination.
In less than five minutes, the entire Inner World had completely returned to peace.
The Superman in the black battle suit stood silently in the pool of blood, like a god of slaughter who had emerged from hell, silencing everyone in the Guardians and the Teen Team.
"Sizzle!"
Then, a flash of red heat vision, and the spider silk binding the Guardians and the Teen Team snapped.
"Thank you anyway... Superman."
After the Guardians and the Teen Team were rescued, they looked at the unfamiliar man in black. After a moment of silence, they still used the codename 'Superman' to address him.
After all, he also had that 'S' symbol of Superman on his chest, right?!
"..."
The Superman in the black battle suit didn't say anything in response, tacitly agreeing.
"Ruined!"
"It's all ruined!"
"Superman, you've ruined everything for me."
Just then, Dr. Earthquake, who had been overlooked by the Superman in the black battle suit, rushed towards everyone, cursing. He once again pulled out his earthquake bracelet, intending to sink everyone present into the core of the earth.
"Whoosh!"
Unfortunately, Dr. Earthquake's movements were too slow.
Before Dr. Earthquake could act, the Superman in the black battle suit had already moved. In just one encounter, he sliced off Dr. Earthquake's bracelet along with both his arms.
At the same time.
Dr. Earthquake only felt his brain spin. Amidst the continuous swaying, he vaguely saw a headless corpse in a white lab coat standing in place.
"Is that my body?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I'm actually dead? I was actually killed by Superman?"
Dr. Earthquake was a smart man after all. The moment he saw his own corpse, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He was panicked, terrified, and at a loss: "They said Superman doesn't kill people, didn't they?"
Yes, the reason these so-called supervillains dared to provoke Superman was primarily because Superman was a good person; he never killed anyone.
But unfortunately, Eden was not a good person.
Because good people get guns pointed at them.
In a daze, Dr. Earthquake slowly reviewed his entire life in his mind. He finally concluded: "If I had known Superman would kill, I would never have provoked him."
"Thump!"
With a soft sound, the moment Dr. Earthquake's head hit the ground, a generation of supervillains finally met his end.
"You killed him?"
Rex felt his brain go numb. Everything happened too quickly, so fast that he hadn't even processed what was going on before he saw Dr. Earthquake die.
"You are definitely not Superman."
"Superman never kills."
"No matter what happens."
The Immortal said with certainty.
"Answer me immediately, who exactly are you?"
War Woman also stared at the Superman in the black battle suit before her, demanding.
"I am the savior of your Guardians."
The Superman in the black battle suit, who was Eden, spoke for the first time.
Just one sentence left everyone present speechless.
For a moment, the expressions of the Guardians and the Teen Team varied, but they couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
"Heh heh."
"Superheroes?!"
Eden took in everyone's expressions. He sneered disdainfully and then picked up Eve, who had been beaten half to death by Dr. Earthquake on the ground.
"Hey! What are you going to do to Eve?"
Rex watched Eden's actions. Even though his strength was far inferior to Eden's, he still mustered the courage to step forward.
"Take her to the hospital."
"She has at least twenty fractures."
"You should pray to God that her broken ribs didn't puncture her internal organs."
After Eden used X-ray vision to ascertain Eve's fractures, he used heat vision to stop her bleeding.
"I... I'm sorry."
Rex's words were stuck in his throat for a long time, and he lowered his head weakly.
"And you, Global Guardians."
"If even you so-called superheroes need to wait for others to rescue you when facing enemies, I think you should disband as soon as possible."
"The entire Earth's safety issues should be fully entrusted to Omni-Man and Superman."
Before leaving, Eden didn't forget to reprimand the Global Guardians.
"As for here..."
After Eden finished speaking, he glanced at The Inner World, which had been turned into a purgatory.
"I'll be back in an hour to see if there are any forgotten insect eggs or subterranean people."
Eden said.
Indeed, Eden was truly cautious. Only by thoroughly clearing out the giant arthropods of The Inner World could humanity's safety be guaranteed.
And only this way could Cecil be ensured not to call Eden for help again due to a 'giant insect' crisis in the future.
"These arthropods have lived in The Inner World for hundreds of millions of years; we humans disturbed their lives. You shouldn't wipe them out."
"Also, you shouldn't have killed Dr. Earthquake! We should have captured him and sent him to prison for a judge to try him."
The Immortal quickly came before Eden at this moment and loudly rebuked him.
"So, the thousands of attacks and tens of thousands of casualties Dr. Earthquake has caused over the years, are you going to take responsibility for all of them, The Immortal?"
"Or is it because these arthropods and you both have long lives, so their deaths make you empathize?"
Eden looked at The Immortal and questioned him.
"Me?"
The Immortal was stunned; he didn't know what to say.
"Listen carefully, The Immortal."
"People other than you don't have 'eternal' life."
Eden struck at The Immortal's most sensitive point.
"Alright, don't stand in front of me."
Eden looked at The Immortal and said.
"..."
This time, The Immortal didn't say anything more and silently moved aside.
"..."
Eden had no intention of wasting more words this time. He carried the heavily injured and unconscious Eve and immediately returned the way he came.
As for the Guardians and the Teen Team?!
They simply watched Eden leave.
"I don't like him."
After a while, The Immortal said.
"I don't like him either."
"Me neither..."
"His personality is indeed unlikable."
The rest of the Guardians and the Teen Team echoed.
"But in fact, according to my calculations, every single word the Superman in the black battle suit said was correct."
At this moment, Robot added.
"..."
In response, both the Guardians and the Teen Team silently looked at Robot, saying nothing more.
