Chapter 155: Accidentally Started A Universal War IV

"No homo though," Ian further added with a smile much to the girls' bewilderment.
They didn't have time to question him though as the white martian started floating, and it only took him an instant before he reached the ship.
Ian was pretty sure the ship can easily survive a nuclear explosion even if it was at its heart. Its durability however didn't seem to matter to the white martian as he phased through the exterior, entering with ease.
It was previously believed that the White Martians evolved alongside the Green Martians. In reality, the Green and White Martians were part of the same race, known as "The Burning".
This race used fire to reproduce asexually and were belligerent to all. The Guardians of the Universe, fearing the ruthlessly and violently powerful Martians, genetically split the Martian race into two distinct species, white and green, preventing the asexual reproduction.
They also gave these two new races an instinctive fear of fire to prevent either group from ever accessing their full potential.
While the Green Martians were peaceful philosophers, the White Martians were savage warriors.
A lengthy civil war between the two races ended when the few surviving White Martians were rounded up and exiled to the extra-dimensional 'The phantom Zone'.
In contrast to the green Martians, the white Martians focused more on their mental aspect and others. They sought to conquer, control, and possess everything in their way.
That didn't stop them from being one of the most physically powerful races in the entire universe. It's said that they can even rival Kryptonians though that's not why Ian is happy with meeting them.
"I don't want to destroy the ship, so..." Ian vanished, mentally controlling the ship to fully bloom, opening fully. Then he found himself right next to the Martian, clutching his neck the moment he wasn't phasing anymore.
A moment later, the Martian found himself thrown back through the ground far away from the ship, looking stunned.
"I thought them to be quite fast, no?" Ian wondered confused, "Or is it that I'm just too fast."
The white Martian staying true to his heritage leaped back up before flying at Ian with raging ferocity.
And so the battle started, a one-sided battle where all Ian did was evade the Martian, playing around with him.
'Did he try it, and I didn't notice?' Ian wondered, a bit over the Martian's futile effort. He was simply testing the Martian's mental capabilities, but it didn't seem to even try.
His Death force was already overwhelming the area, sensing every happening within, but he felt nothing even in moments where he assumed the Martian was trying to possess him.
"What a monster..." Zatanna murmured, finding herself speechless. Even though she's using her full magical capabilities, she was still barely able to keep her eyes on the Martian let alone Ian.
"So unfair..." Harley complained as all she could see were mountains of white rocks getting absolutely demolished every second. Earthquakes that would bring down cities happening constantly.
Even Ivy seemed to be keeping up with them, using an odd flower that seems to be acting like a scanner of sorts.
Hell, Selina also seemed to be keeping up with their battle with her cat-like eyes though how much she sees is a mystery.
"It's very odd, wait..." A possibility emerged in Ian's mind, 'Perhaps?'
He started testing right away by standing right before the Martian's angry punch, threatening to take his head off.
Instead, what happened was the punch redirected itself into the ground before Ian brought his staff down on the Martian.
All it took was using his Divinity of redirection, and voila. The white Martian however proved himself to be more trouble than previously assumed as he thrashed around, seeking to escape the scepter that nailed him to the ground.
And he was on the verge of doing so because Ian's strength was actually extremely weak. While it can be amplified a bit with magic, it was still nowhere near the white Martian's level.
So Ian, with the speed of lightning lifted his left hand high in the air, bringing something out of his dimension, a Trident.
"Haa!" The sheer speed at which the Trident was brought down on the Martian ravaged the area, bringing them a few stories deeper into the ground.
It seemed to cause the Martian way more pain than the staff as it hissed in agony and wrath the same, and that says something considering the staff was sucking not only his life force but also his powers.
Ian then instantly switched from Rose of Divinity to the force of evolution, a power he never used before in combat, more so in experimentation because of how odd it's.
He acted quickly because he sensed other beings approaching his location very quickly.
The force of evolution is very peculiar because it's the only force that can temporarily increase his physical strength beyond his current state, and literally change his genetic makeup.
Ian is at the peak of what a human can be physically, the absolute peak. That's, however, his limit, almost as if his soul refuses such an improvement, perhaps because it's easier for death scenarios to happen if he's so weak.
Ian though didn't give up but found a hole in the matrix no matter how restricted it may be, Force of evolution.
He found a lot of similarities in how evolution works and the Martians, control. Just like how he used it now to grow his hair much longer before controlling it to enfold the Martian entirely.
That was soon complemented by Ian's nails growing into long deadly claws, also nailing the Martian further into the ground.
Not just that, Ian clearly felt himself becoming heavier, denser, and much stronger. He left no way out to the Martian but to lie there powerless, and let himself be sucked dry, leaving nothing no bones.
"It..." Ian took a deep breath, teleporting back into the ship, "A change of plans. I want to destroy this place, entirely."
"You're joking, right?" Zatanna asked with confusion.
"No... But first, I want to find the Kryptonite I came here for."
"A team of two then?" Zatanna thought about it for a second before asking.
"No, Selina and Zatanna, you two will go together. Ivy will go alone. Harley, you'll stay here." Ian stated as he started taking off his earrings which were basically just the black Rose rings.
"Stay here? Why? I wanna go out and have fun! Please??" Harley complained with a pout, thinking of indulging some naughty measures to get her way.
"I'll leave you in control of the ship... Go wild." Ian smiled, handing one of his rings to Ivy and the other to Zatanna.
"Keep these safe with you, and don't touch them directly. They're deadly." It was just a measure to teleport to them directly just in case.
Going through a ring and leaving through another is still one of Ian's fastest movement methods because he can go into one right now, and leave through one of the two he left back on earth.
Five black Rose rings in total. The last one wasn't on his finger any longer, but it was combined with the Scepter of all things, becoming one. It's now an entire dimension and a weapon at the same time.
"And by going wild you mean?" Harley gulped in anticipation.
"Destroy. Sightseeing. Traveling. I'll find you when I'm done... Just don't destroy the ship, okay?"
"Yesssss!!!!" Harley jumped into Ian's embrace, giving him a long kiss on the cheek. She then watched in anticipation as they left one by one, barely holding herself back.
"Wait... I have no idea how to control this thin..." Her words came to a halt as she felt a connection. She felt like she could mentally command the ship, a privilege given to her by Ian.
"Yes... Yess. Yessss! Luv you sooo much!!" Harley giggled and jumped around for a whole minute before a dangerous glim emerged in her eyes as she looked through the observatory, "Darling, I'll try not to break it... I'll definitely try."
