Ch. 149

During the fight, Superman and Batman were standing side by side as they watched the ongoing battle.

"Do humans from another world this strong?" Superman can't help but mutter, however, it was heard by Batman.

"Another universe? Who told you that?"

"Him." Superman said as he pointed at Xyrus who was in the air.

Speaking of Xyrus, he was currently facing the woman who's capable of controlling the sea like some kind of Sea Goddess.

"Who are you?" The Drowned squinted her eyes at Xyrus as she prepared herself to kill him.

After all, she has a bad blood against Meta-humans and in her eyes due to her past where her beloved was killed by a bunch of Meta-Humans, since then, she has made up her mind to slaughter all Meta-Humans, and the newcomers, Xyrus and his companions are Meta-Humans in her eyes that she should eliminate.

Xyrus, naturally could feel her killing intent towards him, so he doesn't intend to have a conversation with her.

Seeing that she received no response from Xyrus, it increases her frustration at him and decided to take it all out by killing him.

She waved her trident for the second time and the splattered water converges and formed a huge Kraken made up of water and ordered it to attack Xyrus.

Xyrus waved his hand and her control over the kraken lost and was replaced by Xyrus's control.

'Is this what they call use your enemies hands to kill themselves? Not bad.' Xyrus muttered in his thoughts as he willed the Kraken to attack his creator.

"No! How dare you!" This move seemed to have offended her, as she slashed her trident on the Kraken, dispersing them.

She was both shocked and scared that Xyrus managed to take control over her Kraken, which means that she can't use her water powers, which is a major decrease in her overall strength.

So, she decided to resort on something less damage but more on strategy. Using the water around her, she flooded the entire area and dived in to surprise Xyrus when she made an unexpected attack.

Now, she only hopes that Xyrus wasn't capable of breathing underwater like her, because if he did, then the chance of her winining would be very slim.

Unfortunately for her, her hopes would soon vanish as Xyrus stared at her in the water, trying to see what her next plan is.

He could guess that she must've done this to make her attacks unexpected and to surprise him.

*Boom!* x10

True to his words, 10 jet pillar of water suddenly emerges from different locations and rapidly went towards him.

Xyrus conjures two Shields of Seraphim and blocked the jets of water.

Unexpectedly, these jets were so strong that it directly destroyed his Shield into pieces.

"Alright, you got me there." Xyrus nodded his head and disappeared in a blue flash.

Inside the water, The Drowned didn't see Xyrus's figure, teleporting at all, and she just saw the jets of water hitting his location. Assuming that she got him, she was about to dive out of water to help her companions when suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder.

When she turned around, her eyes widened in surprise as she saw her enemy, waving his hand at her.

Before she could react, Xyrus waved his hand and The Drowned slowly closed her eyes as Xyrus casted a spell on her to fall asleep.

However, it seems like her will to survive and to kill Xyrus is stronger than he thought as she managed to resist his spell and tried to fight back by stabbing the trident on him.

*Stab!*

The Trident which was made of Nth Metal and the pride of the Atlantians seemed to live up to its reputation as Xyrus, who was confident on his durability, was stabbed by the trident and three bloody holes appeared on his chest.

"Wow, I'm injured." Xyrus was naturally surprised, even Superman can't injure him and now an unknown trident managed to injure him tend to catch his attention.

Xyrus looked up and saw the determined face on The Drowned's face as his eyes then fell on the Trident.

"May I borrow that?" Xyrus asked as The Drowned was confused and before she could refuse him, Xyrus suddenly snatched it from her and uses it to stab her on her heart.

Just because she's a woman doesn't mean he'll show mercy to her. Just so you know, she has killed many innocents in her world just because they're Meta-Humans and her actions has caused the Atlantians to cease to exist.

After stabbing her, Xyrus plucked the trident out of her chest and left her corpse drift on the waters.

Xyrus flew out of the flood and was curious about the Trident, so he used it to control the flood and when he did, he nodded his head in understanding.

"It turns out, the weapons could be forged like this, using a God's blood can turn a normal weapon into something more stronger than just a weapon. If the blood of the said God is related to thunders, then this Trident will allow the holder to manipulate the Thunder." Xyrus took a minute for him to analyze the entire structure of the Trident.

"What has caught my interest is the material that was used to make this. According to her and that laughing Batman's memories, this Trident is made of Nth Metal, which is the purest form of metal used by gods and capable of injuring even the toughest Gods like Hercules." Xyrus mentioned as he waved the Trident and felt like the Trident isn't suitable for him.

"Maybe Akeno would like this? But she already has her whip. Looks like I'll have to keep this to mine first until I find someone suitable to use it." Xyrus then kept it inside his personal space while he made a note to himself.

'After this, I'll take a look to see if I could acquire more of this metal and if there is also something more stronger than it, after all, it was named as 8th metal which means there's a ninth and tenth right? Or maybe more.'
