American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

64. General Zod’s Finale!

Batman made the first move!

The moment General Zod's gaze locked onto him, Batman had already started to act.

At this moment, Batman was not a fledgling newcomer, nor was he the rookie who used a grappling gun to leap across rooftops and could still fall. He was the urban legend who had put an end to all the evil in Gotham City, a demon feared by all wrongdoers.

Having experienced countless battles, he could fully utilize all his advantages and was confident he could defeat any enemy when prepared.

On one side, there was the Bat Vigilante from Gotham City, a being at the pinnacle of human potential. Though aged, he still struck fear into the hearts of his enemies.

On the other side, there was the great general from Krypton, born for war and conflict. He had helped Krypton conquer one planet after another and annihilated any who dared invade Krypton.

This battle between two cosmic civilizations finally commenced under Alex's watchful eyes!

A Batarang suddenly flew out, slicing through the air, heading straight for General Zod's head.

Seeing this, General Zod immediately retreated. He wasn't sure if his body could withstand these attacks, but from the sense of danger emanating from the Batarang, he knew this human had the ability to hurt him.

However, General Zod didn't care much. Perhaps after his enhancement under the yellow sun, he had underestimated Earth's civilization, feeling that nothing could harm him. Yet, the years of combat experience hadn't let him forget how to fight without a steel body.

The Batarang was fast, but General Zod managed to dodge it.

In the next moment, a grappling hook appeared out of nowhere, hitting the unprepared General Zod. Fortunately, he quickly raised his arm to block the attack; otherwise, the hook would have gone for his face.

The grappling hook dug into the damaged armor on General Zod's arm, its powerful grip causing him to stagger slightly, along with a slight pain from his arm.

Evidently, the hook had pierced General Zod's skin.

But General Zod didn't let this minor pain faze him. He grabbed the rope connected to the grappling hook and yanked it with all his might, pulling Batman toward him.

Even though he had lost most of his strength, General Zod could feel that his current power, however weakened, was still far beyond that of any Earthling. If his opponent kept attacking from a distance, he would surely die. But if it came to close combat, General Zod was confident he wouldn't lose to anyone—a confidence rooted in his warrior genes.

To his surprise, his opponent seemed to think the same.

Facing General Zod's immense strength, Batman showed no fear, instead rushing toward him, abandoning long-range attacks in favor of close combat.

It was as if...

It was as if Batman wanted to defeat him in his own specialty!

"To kill a man, you must also break his spirit."

Alex licked his dry lips. He was surprised by old Bruce Wayne's approach. Even at sixty, he wouldn't admit to aging.

To General Zod, such a tactic was an insult. With a frown, his eyes glinted with killing intent. Gathering his strength into his fist, General Zod threw a powerful punch at Batman.

Batman, rushing toward him, coldly smiled. His black cape spread open like bat wings, halting his body in mid-air.

Like a high-speed train suddenly stopping, Batman came to a halt right before General Zod's fist, the punch missing its mark by mere inches, only the force of the blow brushing past Batman's face.

Batman wouldn't let such an opportunity slip. Twisting his body in mid-air, he delivered a powerful kick to General Zod's face.

The missed punch had already unsettled General Zod. Attempting to defend against the attack, he found he couldn't react in time. Batman's kick landed squarely on his face, causing General Zod to stagger backward.

But Batman didn't let up. He looped the grappling hook's rope around himself, using his weight to pull General Zod back. Instantly, the retreating General Zod was yanked forward.

Batman released the rope, donning knuckle dusters made of red sun radiation material, and unleashed a barrage of punches.

Feeling the pain from the punches, General Zod tried to counterattack, but Batman's speed was terrifyingly fast. No, it wasn't just speed—it was experience.

Dodging General Zod's blows with minimal movement, Batman avoided each punch by the slimmest margins, narrowly escaping every time. Despite the risk, he never got hit once.

The minimal movements also allowed Batman to strike back quicker. His fists, a blur of motion, relentlessly hit General Zod's joints and the damaged parts of his armor.

As the only spectator, Alex watched the incredible battle, feeling only two words—smooth and flawless.

Batman, despite his age, fought like a young man in his prime, with terrifying combat experience. From the start, General Zod had been caught in Batman's rhythm.

The relentless attacks steadily dismantled General Zod's defenses, while Zod's counterattacks proved useless against Batman's dance-like footwork.

"This is impossible!"

General Zod roared, enduring the pain from Batman's punches. Seizing a rare opportunity, he grabbed Batman's fist.

Blood spits out of General Zod's mouth. Still, he gripped Batman's fist tightly, his face twisted in rage.

"You are just an ant! How can you hurt me?"

Batman's response was another powerful punch. And a cold whisper.

"Because I am Batman!"
