As expected, Allen pulled Lobo out of Gotham, or he wouldn't be able to attack him without holding back.
"Hehe, a wild boy, I like that, I'll like it even more when I use your intestines as a tie," said Lobo as he flew out of the city without worrying about his situation. As for his macabre statement, he meant it seriously, not as a metaphor but literally imagining himself with delight wearing a tie made of Allen's intestines.
As Lobo laughed, he saw an orange flash in the distance approaching him. "Hm? What's that?"
Not understanding what was happening, Lobo was hit and then enveloped in a huge pillar of fire that extended from the ground to the sky.
...
Allen headed towards Lobo, crossing the sky. Yes, even though Allen can stand in the sky thanks to the Limitless technique, he can also fly. It would be a shame if the god of destruction Beerus didn't teach him the most basic use of ki. However, out of personal preference, Allen prefers teleportation and simply standing in the sky, which is courtesy of Gojo-sensei.
[Host, I have something to inform you...]
Allen sighed. 'What a time to say it... What is happening?'
The system proceeded to explain the situation with Marvel to Allen. However, Allen wasn't surprised, he had already expected something like this.
The Sdolls are a mystery even deeper than the system itself, perhaps they are just a prank from god, or maybe they arrived by mistake, nothing is known for sure. The only thing certain is that they are sent to Allen regardless of whether they are a danger or not.
This leaves Allen pensive. If the Sdolls are girls reincarnated with their personalities and pasts intact, that means whoever sent them knew this was going to happen. Also, as the system has stated several times, she has nothing to do with the Sdolls, and vice versa.
Allen imagines a future without the system and only with a group of super-powerful girls arriving at his door at any moment; his life would be in great danger.
Allen looked into the distance at the pillar of fire and decided to focus on his opponent and leave the Goddess Rhongonminyad to deal with the problematic General Esdeath.
"It's been a while since I felt like someone was breathing down my neck," thought Allen. It's quite easy to know that he avoids the topic of Sdolls.
[Host, I am by your side...]
'That's true, thanks system,' Allen smiled upon hearing the system's words; it's true that no matter the situation, the system was by his side.
[Don't worry, just keep moving forward]
'Move forward... huh'
Just before reaching Lobo, Allen's phone rang, which is strange because, in these situations, the girls communicate through the systems.
Allen saw the sender was Batman, it's no surprise that if something happens in Gotham, this man is the first to know.
"Batman, I'm busy..." said Allen with surprise.
"I know, you're with the bounty hunter Lobo," Batman replied in a low tone. "I won't take much of your time."
"Do you know him?" Allen was surprised; he doesn't recall if Lobo and Batman had any interaction.
"I only know of him; I haven't met him in person," Batman paused. "How do you plan to defeat him?"
For some reason, Batman assumed that Allen knew in advance about Lobo. Allen thought for a moment, "The problem with Lobo is his immortality; he can regenerate from a drop of blood. It's said that Lobo, being banished from heaven and hell, cannot remain dead. The crazy man killed his entire race because only someone of his kind knows how to kill him."
"I see..." Said Batman after a moment's thought "He can summon his motorcycle even in space, so you can destroy it and get him off the planet."
"That... is a good plan." Allen narrowed his eyes at that last piece of information.
In fact, he was thinking of trying to kill Lobo. It's not that he knows how to do it, but the fact that Lobo killed his race to avoid being killed means that there is a way to kill Lobo.
On the other hand, Allen didn't need to worry about the details of being expelled from hell and heaven; after all, he's a demon who operates differently from those of DC, so... he can deal with Lobo's soul... Of course, he must kill Lobo first.
...
Allen landed forcefully on the ground; around him, there was only incandescent rock and burnt ground, however, there was nothing to destroy before, except for a road not far away.
This was no coincidence, Allen had already thought of a place to dump the opponents he couldn't face in the city, and after investigating this site on the outskirts of Gotham City, it was the best place to face any enemy powerful enough to destroy the city.
Allen took a few steps as he heard laughter. In front of him was Lobo, completely incinerated with only bones and burned flesh, but terrifyingly, he was still standing.
"Hahaha, I needed a -!"
Allen ignored Lobo's words and approached, spectators felt a chill seeing Lobo's condition, however, he showed no signs of pain or suffering; it was as if he wasn't the one in that state.
Allen took a step forward without stopping; with each step, Lobo's body regenerated organs, muscle tissues, skin, and everything covered Lobo's skeleton at great speed.
...
As if that amount of trouble weren't enough, in Central City, Flash's city, a very dangerous experiment was taking place in the S.T.A.R. laboratories.
Doctor Silas Stone in charge of researching one of the mysterious mother boxes and its operation was having headaches.
Now that it's known that this mother box is a portal to Apokolips, the government was trying to safeguard it or destroy it, which makes a lot of sense. However, Dr. Stone had a different thought.
The mother box was a portal, and there was more than one scattered around the world; it was better to find out how they worked, it was essential to be able to close them in case mother boxes that hadn't been found were activated.
Of course, the government didn't agree; investigating the mother box was like handling plutonium with an electrician's tweezers; you never know if something will go wrong.
Silas was running out of time; tomorrow they would come to pick up the mother box, so he accelerated his experiments to find out as much as possible about mother box technology.
Silas's concern was such that he ignored that today was an important match for his son Victor Stone.
"Doctor Stone, we're ready," said a researcher in a lab coat.
In the center of the laboratory was a mother box floating on a machine.
Before Silas could speak, his phone rang, and upon looking, he realized it was the alarm he set to remind him that today was Victor's game. Dr. Stone only looked at the message written for a moment and decided to ignore it.
'Sorry, Victor...'
Silas knew that the world was extremely dangerous, and at any moment something or someone could end him; humans can only do their best now to develop technology to survive.
...
A stadium full of screaming fans and two football teams ready to dispute the final.
Victor looked at the seat designated for his father in the stands with a resigned look; he knew his father wouldn't come, he never cared about his desire to be a professional football player.
Unexpectedly, a child sat in the seat that was supposed to be his father's, Victor looked at the child, who cheered him on and decided to focus on the game.
"Come on, Victor!" Billy shouted, but immediately felt chills and looked at his hand to notice it was trembling. 'Why now?!'
The child was Billy Batson, although he didn't give the impression of being special, this child was chosen to receive the powers of Shazam.
Billy escaped from his home and sneaked into the stadium to watch the game live; Billy was going through a rebellious age, and being an orphan didn't help.
When he received his powers like any other child, he felt that destiny had chosen him, and perhaps it was, but he didn't understand what it meant to be a hero. Billy faced a villain without understanding how dangerous it was, and when he felt pain for the first time, he touched fear and escaped.
'Shit!'
Victor looked at Billy depressed in the bleachers and decided to do his best for his fans. The whistle blew, and the game began.
After that, Billy sneaked into the locker rooms and met Victor in person. Victor helped Billy not to be discovered, but in the process, Billy stole his jersey.
"Kid!!!"
..
Time passed, and back with Silas, he hadn't succeeded; the mother box showed no signs when stimulated with an energy discharge.
At that moment, his son entered to confront him for not going to his game; Silas couldn't contain his repressed emotions and exploded, saying that football was a waste of time and that there were super-powerful beings that in the future would flood the world and for them what Victor does would be a joke.
Victor also exploded and ended up grabbing the mother box from the machine still on, the mother box reacted to the interaction with an organic life form and the stimulation, so it proceeded to open. Victor was hit by a wave of energy.
"Victor!" Silas ran towards his son, who had horrible wounds and had lost a leg and an arm.
He quickly dragged him to safety, but it wouldn't be easy; from the portal, Parademons began to emerge. Silas lamented, not for causing a new invasion of Apokolips, but because he felt guilty that Victor ended up like this.
...
Allen flew out as he defended himself from a blow from Lobo, the force behind his attack was enough to sweep away a large part of Gotham. Allen knew it; he was already accustomed to this pattern, this version of Lobo was strong.
"Hahahaha!"
The bounty hunter laughed as he stomped the ground, lifting a mile of soil in the distance. "Hey, kid, you know I'd like to meet the redhead who was with you!!"
Allen was annoyed; Lobo wasn't boasting; if he could kill Allen now, he would go flirt with his girlfriends.
Allen began to release his true killer instinct; he used Fujitora's gravity power to keep the pieces of rock floating in the air, then made them spin around Lobo.
"What the hell?!" Lobo shouted, surprised. "Are you a magician or something?! Bring your ass over here and fight like a man!!"
Allen clenched his fist, and Lobo was crushed from all directions. Allen knew this was nothing for the monster, so from the beginning, he intended to go all out.
Allen raised the rock sphere into the sky, his eyes sharpened like razors. Lobo wasn't an opponent he could show mercy to, or he could pay dearly.
After all, Lobo was able to compress an entire city and eat it; he even fought against the Mask. He's a monster in the broadest sense of the word.
"Hakai..."
After the upgrade thanks to Rick, Allen was able to handle his powers better; this time he didn't exhaust himself by using Hakai without the core of the destruction god.
A small purple sphere that appeared harmless flew toward the mini-planet, and upon touching it, it disappeared into a deadly silence.
But it didn't last long because the massive rock sphere began to disintegrate into purple ash.
Allen always finds it surprising because this kind of destruction isn't violent or flashy; what's designated as the target of Hakai simply disappears. Which is even shocking...
Allen, for his part, felt that something wasn't right; did he succeed? Not killing Lobo shouldn't be easy. However, Hakai is a technique from a world with a power scale as absurd as Dragon Ball.
Furthermore, Allen himself knew that Lobo could also die; the problem was to keep him dead.
Allen's pupils turned black as he prepared to capture Lobo's soul to ensure he couldn't come back to life.
"That made me sweat."
Lobo appeared next to Allen and punched him in the face, then grabbed him by the neck and threw him through the ground for several miles. Allen had been injured, he bled from the mouth and one of his teeth was broken!
"Lobo!" Allen shouted.
Allen's spidey sense and his instincts and reflexes reacted slowly due to the wear and tear of using Hakai; that's why he couldn't dodge, the Infinite was also deactivated for the same reason. As for Clown Crown, it tried to stop Lobo but was instantly destroyed by the force of the blow.
"Hahaha!" Lobo laughed as he ran towards Allen and punched him on the ground repeatedly, but this time Allen was able to defend himself with the Infinite and was unharmed.
"I felt chills, kid, it had been a while since something like this happened, so I bit and tore off my arm to throw it away from that attack!!" Lobo said as he continued to hit Allen; a crater formed and grew larger with each of Lobo's blows, but Allen remained unharmed.
"By the way, what flowers does the blonde you were with like?!"
"You're really making me angry... You piece of shit"
Allen cursed at Lobo, his instincts of a wild beast and his personality, but he must admit that it's impressive; he found a way to avoid the Hakai. This puts pressure on Allen, "Get away!" Allen couldn't afford to hold back anymore and attacked Lobo with Clown Crown at three hundred percent synchronization, in the form of claws. Lobo quickly tore Allen's claws apart while mocking him and approached Allen.
Allen took advantage of this gap and formed red and blue in his hands, then clapped them together in front of him into an unstable purple, tearing half of Lobo's face off, but not only did it make him laugh and continue attacking.
Allen knew Lobo was preventing him from getting away to not using the Hakai again. Even if he were to use it, at this distance, when he weakened from using the Hakai, Lobo would be ready to kill him.
Allen frowned. 'He's very clever, an excellent hunter, a predator who killed an entire race of immortals like him...'
Lobo appears crazy, but he's truly dangerous; he has a reputation for never failing a contract.
Allen prefers the vulgar version of Lobo who wanted to replace Superman when he died by Doomsday, not this monster. However, as in his whole life, things hardly go in his favor.
Allen knew he had no choice but to use the Hakai; he didn't have confidence that another technique or power could kill Lobo, and he couldn't use his abilities perpetually, so Lobo was aiming for a war of attrition where Allen had everything to lose.
However, that's only if Allen refuses to use the power of the destruction god.
But that had two huge risks; one would be that by using his power here, he would have to wait four days to use it again, and that would leave him without a lifeline by the time Darkseid arrived.
Another thing is that if Allen were to use that power, he could attract the attention of characters like Doctor Manhattan, the Spectre, and the entities of the sixth or seventh dimension, including Lucifer or The Presence.
Allen isn't that strong, even if it seems like he is, in the world of DC comics there are plenty who could kill him... Allen knows that and can't afford that.
[Host, I have a solution...]
"What?!"
[I can isolate a different DC universe and you can send Lobo there...]
"That..."
Allen felt that it was a good idea, but wouldn't it be cruel to the people of that world to send them another Lobo?
Allen discussed the idea with his viewers, and many agreed.
===
Ruby - Don't worry Allen, Lobo may be a violent son of a bitch, but he also has his code of honor...
Rogue - It's true, Lobo will never stop killing you if he accepts the contract, but he won't destroy the Earth or cause chaos if it's not necessary... maybe
===
Allen saw the comments and opinions and indeed, they were right.
"System... open a portal."
Allen would later apologize to that other DC Earth for sending Lobo
...
...
"Ahhh, stay away!!"
In another universe, a police officer with a rifle was desperately shooting at a man who floated slowly towards him. Bullets bounced off the man's body on impact.
"You thought I wouldn't notice you letting the criminals go?" said the man floating with a disappointed tone. "I can hear everything happening on the planet..."
The police officer fired until he ran out of bullets, yet he kept pulling the trigger as the monster in front of him approached.
"I have a wife and kids..."
The monster grabbed him by the neck and lifted him. "You should've thought of that before."
"What happened?! Superman, you weren't like this!!"
"..."
Superman averted his gaze from the man for a moment but quickly looked back at him. The police officer's face had lost all color.
"Superman, I-"
He didn't let him finish before breaking his neck... after that, Superman floated out through the hole in the building.
Superman looked at the ruins of what was once Metropolis, yet there was no sadness in his eyes, only the cruelest and most brutal indifference.
The symbol of hope that was once seen as a light in the night was now stained with blood.
