American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

334. Surprise Attack on LexCorp Tower

Beyond Earth, among the stars.

Alex smiled as he observed the scene, feeling his heart finally calm down a bit. Although he didn't possess the power to create a physical version of the Infinity Stones, he could still create a powerful illusion to give the Paradooms a harsh lesson.

After retrieving the Infinity Stones that were useless in the hands of the Illuminati members, Alex gathered the remainder of his magical energy to cast a massive illusionary projection over the three Apocalypse engines. While he couldn't summon a red sun from another world via astral projection, he could create three optical prisms made of Kryptonite.

By utilizing the yellow sun of our solar system, he used the Kryptonite prisms to convert sunlight into a unique red sun-like glow. This was enough to make the Paradooms feel what Clark had experienced when injected with liquid Kryptonite.

Without the Kryptonians' formidable strength, these Paradooms were no more than large alien creatures to the Avengers and X-Men, far less threatening than the Chitauri "alien refugees."

Closing his eyes, Alex returned to his physical body.

Meanwhile, Lois and the others were still anxiously waiting for a signal from the Sleeper. The main goal of this operation was to lure the Doomsday demons away from Apocalypse's forces. If they couldn't manage this, the entire plan would fail.

Opening his eyes, Alex shook his head to clear his slight dizziness.

"How's it going?"

"Incredible!" As Alex asked, Lois's computer suddenly lit up. Staring at the screen, Lois's eyes widened. "This is the first time I've seen the Sleeper so shocked."

"What happened?" Clark couldn't help but lean over.

"The Sleeper says all three of the Apocalypse engines have been severely damaged, and Batman has sent every last Doomsday-class demon for backup. It's… unimaginable."

Lois looked at Alex in astonishment. "Mr. Crow, how did you manage that?"

"Just a little magic trick." Alex smiled without further explanation. Magic was far too mysterious, and projecting heroes from another dimension was itself a bizarre feat. They wouldn't understand even if he explained.

Pausing, Alex continued, "Now that the plan has succeeded, I think it's time we proceed to the next step."

"Oh, right." Lois paused, then activated her earpiece. "Harley, Ashley, it's showtime for you two."

(Yay~~~)

(Leave it to us!)

Harley Quinn and Spider-Woman Ashley's voices responded in turn. According to their pre-arranged strategy, to cover Clark, Alex, and the others, the Suicide Squad and other Blackgate inmates were to launch a simultaneous assault on LexCorp Tower from all sides.

As the headquarters of Apocalypse's forces on Earth, the tower was occupied by countless Paradooms as well as brainwashed human soldiers. This battle was not going to be easy.

Thanks to the Bat family, though, the great Batman Bruce Wayne left them a good stockpile of synthetic Kryptonite. Combined with the Kryptonite weapons Lex had covertly "sent" to the resistance, it was enough to arm everyone.

"No more plans, gentlemen. Our only objective now is to storm inside!"

After Lois spoke, she grabbed the submachine gun from her back. She exchanged a look with Clark, and the two charged into LexCorp Tower, leading the assault.

Alex and Jason followed closely, with Nightwing Dick and Damian bringing up the rear, keeping watch to ensure no enemies would sneak up on them from behind.

A Batarang sliced through the air, piercing the thigh of a guard at the gate and rendering him incapable of fighting. However, just as the guard thought he had narrowly escaped death, Jason raised his hand and fired two shots, finishing him off. Seeing Dick's reluctance, Jason couldn't hold back his anger and yelled at him.

"Don't hold back! These guys aren't human anymore. If you don't want your mercy to get a comrade killed, aim for their vital points!"

"...Got it," Dick murmured, swallowing nervously. He wasn't sure why, but Jason seemed more imposing than ever. After merging with the super-soldier serum, Jason's entire demeanor had changed drastically, making it hard to argue against his criticism.

After all, Dick was the original Robin.

He sighed but said nothing more. He had already heard about how Damian had been thoroughly beaten by Jason, and if he hadn't still been recovering from his time in the Lazarus Pit, he probably would have gotten his own beating. Best to avoid provoking this powder keg for now. With that thought, Dick and Damian also stopped holding back, each move becoming lethal. Most of the guards didn't even realize what had happened before they were taken down.

With the younger members of the Bat-family fighting seriously, they demonstrated just how powerful they could be without a "no-kill" rule.

Coming in from the other side, Captain Boomerang saw the Robins, drenched in blood, and was stunned by the sight. In his mind, these youngsters were just Batman's sidekicks, and even as they grew up, they'd still be small fry. But he had never imagined that their killing skills could surpass his own as a professional assassin.

"Remind me, Black Manta, never to mess with these guys."

Black Manta fired red lasers from his suit, blasting several guards who were trying to support the others into pieces. Glancing at the shaken Captain Boomerang, he rolled his eyes under his helmet.

"They're Batman's trainees, after all. Anyone who can survive Gotham isn't exactly harmless."

"You've got a point," Captain Boomerang shrugged, then ducked behind cover to avoid gunfire. "Honestly, it's been so long since I've moved like this, my body's practically rusted."

Predicting the direction of incoming bullets, Captain Boomerang didn't even look as he flung one of his boomerangs. The silver blade curved through the air, hitting a guard in the neck before he could react.

Twelve.

Counting silently, Captain Boomerang leapt from cover. Just as he moved, the boomerang he'd thrown exploded in a massive fireball, consuming several guards nearby.

Using the flames and smoke as cover, Captain Boomerang finally breached LexCorp Tower's defenses. Advancing rapidly in Harley Quinn's direction as planned, he continued to toss boomerangs from his belt.

Without any extra aim, the boomerangs seemed almost guided, hitting their marks every time.

In an instant, thick smoke and explosions filled LexCorp Tower's lobby, shattering the defensive line the guards had painstakingly put together. But everyone knew this was just the beginning. The real battle had yet to begin.
