American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"Put it down, I command you, highest directive! Put it down!"

Luthor used his authority, but the means he used to control Doomsday did not work. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, who were ready to fight, Doomsday shot a blazing, colorful beam of light towards the white cocoon where Thanos was.

"Don't do that, buddy!" Hal blocked the light at lightning speed, crossing his arms in front of him. The white light surging around him formed a shield in front, but the light still pushed him closer to the white cocoon.

A calm and waveless lake suddenly had a leaf fall into it. The tranquility of the water surface could no longer be maintained. Under Hal's desperate gaze, the stasis field was affected by the force pushing it horizontally, breaking the seal that had been maintained before.

Cracks appeared on the white cocoon, and a blazing white light shone through the cracks, like light in the darkness, dazzling and radiant!

"Mind infection."

Wayne subconsciously murmured.

"What mind infection?" Luthor was shocked by Doomsday's loss of control. Hearing Wayne's murmur, he looked at him as if he had found an answer.

At this moment, Doomsday was wrapped in a thick white energy shield, which bought him some time and blocked the attacks from Clark and the others.

"I should have thought of it earlier. Since it's a creation of Luke, how could it only have the power of the emotional spectrum." Wayne had already thought of a point that everyone had overlooked. The presence of the emotional spectrum was too strong, and the battle was too fierce, which made people ignore this point for a while.

"What exactly do you mean?" Luthor had already heard a sense of foreboding from Wayne's words. He didn't like this kind of loss of control. Especially a person who hadn't even shown his face, repeatedly brought them trouble, and even snatched the control of his creation, which made him even more displeased. Smart people are always arrogant, especially smart people like Luthor. They find it difficult to accept that their work is so easily suppressed and plundered by the other party.

"Luke created a power similar to the emotional spectrum. The two have similar powers and attributes. I have studied Luke's energy and the energy of the Green Lantern spectrum. The most obvious difference between the two is infection and the activation of dead objects.

Similarly, it's courage and will. Captain's energy can infect others and give them courage, and in turn, borrow the energy that Captain has separated. Hal's Green Lantern is not as satisfactory in this regard.

Without a doubt, your Doomsday has been infected. Having a new consciousness, it can be considered to have broken through your blockade. You can already regard it as a new life form." After transmitting the information in his mental consciousness, Wayne had already joined the work of suppressing Doomsday and helping Barry to reinforce the seal.

Luthor was stimulated by Wayne's words.

However, the situation did not allow him to think too much. Although Clark and the others stopped and severely damaged Doomsday, the destruction of the seal field meant that the situation they were most worried about had happened as expected.

Thanos walked out of the broken white cocoon.

The Infinity Gauntlet broke away from Doomsday's tattered hand, which was still stubbornly recovering, and instantly appeared on Thanos' right hand. The dense gears and parts rolled and combined, seamlessly wrapping Thanos' right hand.

"Thank you, you have allowed me to record another kind of power. This has increased my authority over this universe by another point." Thanos moved his right hand, which had been re-gloved, and clenched his fist slightly under the heavy gazes of Clark and the others. His gaze swept over everyone, fell on the Spirit of Existence that was integrated with the Earth, and finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Clark and the others again.

"I underestimated the resistance of this universe. So, for the next battle, let's change our approach." Thanos raised his hand and snapped his fingers under the dazed gazes of everyone.

There was no shocking or terrifying scene, but Clark and the others felt a heavy shadow cast over their hearts for no reason. They instinctively felt that something had happened, but they couldn't be sure what had happened. Until they vaguely heard a wail from the surrounding space.

That was the universe wailing.

"What did you do?" John, who felt that the power of his White Ring had suddenly weakened and felt the pain from the Spirit of Existence, flew to Thanos and asked loudly.

"What did I do?" Thanos smiled and said casually, "I just reduced the energy of this universe."

"What do you mean?" Hal was a little confused when he heard this answer.

"You are all the darlings of this universe in this time period, beings endowed with destiny. The will of the universe will naturally guide you and give you some extraordinary powers. This is also a factor that allows you to bring trouble to me.

An accident has already occurred, and I don't want any more accidents to disturb me. So, I have sealed and reduced this universe." Seeing the dazed, enlightened, and thoughtful faces on the opposite side, Thanos smiled again. He didn't mind delaying for some time.

"Don't understand? To explain it in a way that you can understand, the upper limit of this universe is the upper limit of the power you can use to resist me. In reality, you cannot truly grasp the power of an entire universe.

I have now sealed it. It is closed. Now all dimensions cannot affect it, and I have reduced its upper limit. This means that the power you can use to resist me has been reduced along with it.

You must believe that if I wanted to, I could make the smartest of you degenerate into a monkey that only knows how to scratch its ears and cheeks, even if it is still a smart monkey. But we all know that no matter how smart a monkey is, there is still a huge gap between it and higher intelligent races. Its upper limit is there."

"Alarmist talk. If you could do that, we would have been a bunch of monkeys long ago." Sensing the low morale of his companions, Wayne stood up and retorted.

"Yes, that's why I said you are the darlings of the creator in this time period. Having that guy protecting your lives is what allows you to stand in front of me today. But that's all. If you want to stop me, hurry up. You don't have much time left." Thanos easily punched Clark, who had rushed up, back, reminding him.

"His strength has increased, or rather, our strength has been reduced," Clark said in the mental link. He also indirectly confirmed what Thanos had just said. Although it was not clear whether the facts were really as Thanos said, Thanos was stronger, which was visible to the naked eye and beyond doubt.

Of course, they could fight again. With the support of the White Ring power and the Spirit of Existence, they could fight for a long time.

But as Thanos said, they didn't have much time left.

"Barry," Wayne took a deep breath and had already made a decision.

PS: Thanks to classmate Silent Peak for the reward.

PS: The author's assistant crashed once, alas.
