A sinister smile curled at the corner of Echo's mouth as he raised his hands, aiming at Su Sheng. "There's something even cooler. Want to see it?"
"Sure!" Su Sheng replied brightly.
Echo was momentarily stunned, not expecting Su Sheng to be so straightforward. His expression shifted to one of ferocity as he unleashed a powerful shockwave directly at Su Sheng.
Echo was no stranger to ruthlessness—he had just reprimanded Deathstorm without hesitation, displaying his decisive nature. Su Sheng recalled that Echo harbored ambitions beyond serving Zoom; he wanted to grow stronger and possibly replace Zoom someday. With such a dangerous individual, Su Sheng knew he had to be on guard.
As the shockwave barreled toward him, Su Sheng's lips curled into a smirk. In an instant, he copied Echo's ability and countered with his own shockwave.
Boom!
The two shockwaves collided and froze in midair, locked in a stalemate.
"You..." Echo's eyes widened in shock behind his goggles. "How do you have my powers?"
"Just call me 'Five-Five'!" Su Sheng replied with mock seriousness, feeling Echo's disbelief.
"Hmph." Echo sneered, increasing the intensity of his shockwave.
But as Echo strengthened his attack, so did Su Sheng.
The two shockwaves remained deadlocked, neither giving way to the other.
"Deathstorm!" Echo shouted, calling for backup. Deathstorm hesitated briefly before launching a wave of flames toward Su Sheng.
Su Sheng chuckled lightly. "Oh, I can do that too!"
Boom!
Su Sheng raised his other hand, unleashing a torrent of flames that met Deathstorm's attack head-on.
Now, with a shockwave in one hand and flames in the other, Su Sheng was evenly matched against both Echo and Deathstorm.
"He's really going five for five! What kind of weird ability is this?" Echo cursed, watching as Deathstorm increased his firepower, only for Su Sheng to match it yet again.
Just as the situation seemed to be in a deadlock, Su Sheng suddenly chuckled.
"This 'five for five' stuff is getting boring... It's time to crush you."
With a slight thought, Su Sheng activated his ability to its fullest potential—stacking his powers fivefold.
Instantly, the power of both the shockwave and the flames surged, expanding several times over. The intensified shockwave and fire column easily overpowered their counterparts, hurtling toward Echo and Deathstorm.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud crashes echoed as both Echo and Deathstorm were sent flying, groaning in pain as they hit the ground. Blood dripped from the corner of Echo's mouth, and Deathstorm's chest bore severe burn marks. Gritting their teeth, they struggled to their feet, determined to attack Su Sheng again.
But this time, Su Sheng didn't play along.
He felt another attack coming.
A chilling one.
Activating his Speed Force, Su Sheng instantly dodged to the side. Just as he moved, two ice spikes shot through the air, aimed precisely where he had been standing.
The ice spikes, having missed their target, continued forward—right into the path of the shockwave and fire column.
Pfft! Pfft!
In the next second, the ice spikes pierced through Echo and Deathstorm's chests. Both men looked down at the ice spikes, then up at Killer Frost, who had been knocked down by the shockwave and flames, their expressions incredulous.
Boom! Boom!
The two men collapsed slowly, their eyes losing all light.
Su Sheng slowly approached Killer Frost. She had timed her sneak attack well, but unfortunately for her, she had chosen the wrong target.
Killer Frost twitched slightly on the ground, her white hair scattered, black eyeshadow smudged, and purple-blue lips trembling. She wore a black leather jacket and trousers, the jacket slowly burning from the residual heat of the flames. Blood trickled from her mouth as she struggled to raise her hand toward Su Sheng before collapsing in defeat.
"Pity."
"I've always liked Killer Frost. It's a shame we'll have to wait until Caitlin turns into her," Su Sheng muttered, raising his hands. A cold, white mist floated around them as he manipulated the temperature. With a thought, the cold air in one hand turned into a wave of heat, bursting into flames. "Does this count as a double world of ice and fire?"
Su Sheng chuckled and prepared to leave.
"Hey."
A voice suddenly stopped him.
Turning around, Su Sheng saw a head poking out from behind a car in the distance. The woman had long golden hair, familiar facial features, a black choker around her neck, and a silver nose ring between her nostrils.
The outfit was... quite the change.
"Why don't you do me a favor and let me go?" she asked, raising her hand to show Su Sheng the bracelet around her wrist. The bracelet had two lights and resembled the kind of handcuffs used to suppress metahuman abilities.
"I almost forgot about you, Laurel Lance!"
Su Sheng was momentarily surprised, remembering that Earth II also had a doppelgänger of Laurel Lance, known as the Black Siren instead of the Black Canary. On Earth II, she wasn't just a skilled fighter; the particle accelerator explosion had given her the ability to produce ultrasonic screams, making her far more dangerous than Earth I's Laurel.
"Caught by Killer Frost?" Su Sheng asked as he walked over and opened the car door. The Black Siren, wearing a black leather coat, was handcuffed to the seat.
The Black Siren gave Su Sheng an innocent look. "Help a girl out?"
Su Sheng touched the handcuffs with his fingers, freezing them instantly. With a sharp tug, the handcuffs shattered into pieces.
"No need to thank me," Su Sheng said, standing up.
The Black Siren looked at the broken handcuffs, her eyes brightening. Just then, several police cars pulled up nearby, and officers got out, guns drawn.
"Don't move! Hands up!" one of them shouted.
Iris West, looking sharp with a police badge on her waist and a gun in hand, slowly approached.
"Doesn't matter which world it is, they're all the same," Su Sheng muttered with a smile, raising his hands as if to surrender.
The Black Siren glanced at Su Sheng, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she ignored the guns pointed at them. "Need some help?"
"Do whatever you like," Su Sheng shrugged, unconcerned.
The Black Siren turned to the police officers, her smile widening wickedly.
"Ahhhhhh—"
Her ultrasonic scream erupted, shattering the police cars' windows and forcing Iris and the other officers to their knees, covering their ears in pain.
"Your cry is really loud," Su Sheng remarked with a chuckle after the Black Siren finally stopped.
