Chapter 269 Hope
The conquest stemmed from the fact that the aliens were used to running rampant in this universe and had never considered the possibility of encountering beings beyond their own reach.
He sensed something was wrong as soon as he threw the punch.
His strength was among the best of the Vixing people, and he even believed that no one was stronger than him except for the Regent, the strongest being on Vixing.
The only reason he was ostracized from the core circle of the planet was because he was a bloodthirsty freak.
He fights only because it is one of the few times he feels his existence has meaning, and it is the only thing he can do to contribute to Witrum—for which he will continue to fight, regardless of the outcome.
And such a punch was as if it had struck a contradictory mixture that was both steel and cotton, indestructible yet without causing any damage.
If he were willing to have a chat with Invincible Young Hero, perhaps the two could find common ground, since not everyone has the opportunity to deliver a powerful punch to a Kryptonian's face.
The difference is that Mark's attack on Superman was somewhat of a last resort, while conquering and provoking Kara was tantamount to courting death.
Before she even took the punch, Kara's impatience had already reached its peak. After taking the punch, she was finally able to strike without any restraint.
She clenched her fist and unleashed the heaviest punch of her life—the new Kryptonian power armor, equipped with a more portable yellow sunlight circuit, was capable of multiplying the Kryptonian's power within a safe radiation range.
After changing into her new equipment, she had never found a suitable opponent to test her skills. Wasn't this stubborn alien in front of her the perfect punching bag?
With a muffled thud, Kara's punch successfully scattered the previously humanoid Conqueror to every corner of the city in an instant.
Even Kara herself was somewhat surprised. She did want to kill the other party, but she didn't expect to kill him so quickly.
This alien possessed a weak defense disproportionate to its attack power, making it unable to withstand even a normal attack from a Kryptonian.
She estimated that if the same punch were thrown at Karl El, it would at most only leave him with a bruised and swollen face!
With only her lower body and two legs remaining, Eve fell from the sky. Realizing what had happened, she vomited.
Oliver, who was still a child, grinned and gave Kara a thumbs-up.
"Wow, well done, you unknown older sister!"
Mark, who had barely crawled out of the ruins, happened to see Conqueror, who was eager to cause trouble for others, being killed by a Kryptonian. It was like crushing an ant on the roadside; he didn't feel much of a ripple in his heart.
Superman's previous defeat of more than a dozen invincible young heroes from parallel universes has already proven that Kryptonians are more precise and efficient than Vagrants in terms of killing.
Seeing Kara and Atom Woman Eve almost face to face, Mark's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to separate the two:
"Get out of here, Eve, and you too, Oliver!"
Mark only remembered that in Superman's description, his Kryptonian compatriots were even more aggressive than the Vikings!
"No matter how Karl El describes us to you, it's only one side of the story."
The wariness of this alien made Kara's heart skip a beat, and she even felt an urge to speak up and defend herself.
"My cousin grew up outside of Krypton and has never met many Kryptonians in his life. He has never known anything about the El family or Kryptonians."
Joey could count the number of Kryptonians he had ever met on one hand, and Kara never thought that the other party would remain steadfastly opposed to the El family and his fellow Kryptonians.
Especially when he realized what Kal'el's status was within Krypton's current administrative system.
"I've heard your excuses more than once. My point is, if you want any information about Superman from me, I can only say this—"
Mark hardened his heart and refused to communicate with Kara: "I won't tell you anything."
Young Mark clearly didn't heed a single word of Joey's advice and was still stubbornly defending Superman, unaware that the robot on the other side had already sold out all of Joey's tracks in this world.
Normally, Kara wouldn't mind teaching this arrogant brat a lesson, but now she wasn't in the mood for it.
"Say whatever you want."
The teleportation device is nearing completion, and she must return to carry out her mission.
Using Victor Doom's time machine, the white version of Nick Fury, along with Joey and the remnants of his army, travels back to 2013.
This was a wild and untamed land.
Seeing Nick Fury return from his outing, Hawkeye's worried expression lessened slightly. However, before he could even offer a greeting, the sight of a group of people behind Fury, each carrying two corpses, made him gasp.
Having spent his entire life as a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Hawkeye has experienced life and death in one brutal mission after another, yet he still cannot accept the current outcome.
Apart from Storm Ororo and Red Hulk, none of those who carried out the mission survived.
Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man...
The Avengers were gone. Hawkeye, realizing this, couldn't even squeeze out a tear. His tears had been exhausted in the first few days after Ultron launched his world-ending operation.
The world has entered the post-wasteland era under the relentless bombardment of Ultron robots, and the remaining humans can only eke out a living under the ruins.
At such a critical juncture, even a moment of silence is a luxury; they have neither the energy nor the time.
Even Nick Fury, a man of perfect planning, could not have foreseen this attack that came directly from the future. This secret base in the wilderness was the last safe house he had left.
Now, with the operation failing, this safe house will soon be attacked by Ultron.
"No, Ultron won't come."
Joey was so certain because if Ultron had that ability, then he and his group would not have been able to return to the wasteland of 2013 so safely.
Moreover, Ultron knew that Joy was traveling with the survivors. After Superman destroyed Ultron's robot army several times and paralyzed its rear military production base, this dangerous AI was temporarily unable to organize an effective attack.
Now is the time to launch a counterattack.
For Ultron to issue commands from the future to the present, it needs a relay, and even without his super vision, Joey knows how Ultron achieves this:
"Vision, located in New York, is Ultron's mind controlling all the robots in the world through this machine. If we can eliminate him, at least the Earth will be safe for now."
"We've reached the end."
Nick Fury knows that there will be far more Ultron robots in the present than in the future, and he also knows another crucial fact:
"The armed forces that exist on Earth now are all Ultron's lackeys. We have no one left to use."
This isn't some action-packed comic book where a certain key figure can rally everyone, get them back on their feet, forget their grief, and fight back together to achieve a happy ending that satisfies everyone.

Nick Fury glanced with a heavy heart at the corpse covered by the Stars and Stripes shield; the true "soul" of the Avengers had also been brutally murdered by Ultron.
To paraphrase the Punisher, they've already finished their business.
Don't despair.
Joey reassured everyone present, "At least I'm here."
He now feels that perhaps there's a reason why he always appears at the end of the world, and that might be the meaning of "Superman":
There is always a glimmer of hope.
