Superman's Saiyan little brother

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Deterring Dissension



Robert and Clark probably didn't expect the results of their torture to be so effective. Not only did it cause Grant to mentally collapse, but it also affected Hercules, who lost focus at a critical moment. This led to the deaths of Hercules, Grant, and Servis at the hands of the Dark Lord. Although "death" might not be entirely accurate, since the consciousness of the three was still trapped in the pain of the torture, their existence had vanished from the Dark Dimension.

This event, however, wasn't entirely negative. For instance, although the Dark Lord didn't personally intervene, the entire Dark Dimension seemed to have mobilized. Despite Clark and Robert's formidable presence deterring the Dark Dimension's powerhouses from acting rashly without full confidence, it was foreseeable that Earth would face significant future impacts. However, such impacts were mainly concerning for ordinary people. From the perspective of Earth's dimension itself, it seemed to welcome such a scenario, having previously gained much energy from Grant and his ilk during the Dark Dimension's invasion.

"Sorry, we were a bit distracted earlier, or else the mirror space wouldn't have shattered so easily..." On Earth, Baron Mordo and others approached Robert and Clark, apologetically expressing their guilt. Unlike some previous battles, the invasion of the Dark Dimension was originally the responsibility of Kamar-Taj. With the Ancient One's whereabouts unknown, Robert and Clark's ability to handle the Dark Dimension's powerhouses was a significant help to Kamar-Taj, making Mordo and others very grateful.

"In such a situation, however, Kamar-Taj couldn't even maintain the mirror space, highlighting our inadequacies and making us feel deeply self-critical for our lack of seriousness in battle..."

"It's okay, it's my fault. I was maintaining the mirror space, yet it still got shattered. You can't be blamed..." Clark smiled at Mordo and the others, shaking his head lightly.

"Yeah, I should have mentioned it earlier. I got a bit too serious during the fight, especially since that guy's subsequent performance was disappointing, so I lost control for a moment..." Robert added, providing a way out after Clark's proactive remark.

"Any discoveries in the Dark Dimension, feel free to contact us. Even if it's about other dimensions or encountering other powerhouses, you can come to us, and we will certainly assist you!" Baron Mordo solemnly promised Clark and Robert.

"Sure! We will. After all, with the mirror space in place, I can fight without any reservations..." Robert nodded with a smile. He was quite friendly to those who could help open the mirror space, just as he had been to the dragon Shenron, Kami, and the Great Elder in the Dragon Ball world.

"Until next time!" Satisfied with Robert's response, Baron Mordo and the others opened a portal and returned to Kamar-Taj.

"Let's go back and see how things are going, whether the vampires and werewolves have been dealt with..." Robert said to Clark. "What do you say? Want to come along?"

"I'll look around. I've been in the mirror space with you for too long and want to see if anyone on Earth needs my help." Clark shook his head, his figure disappearing from sight as his voice lingered in Robert's ear.

"He's really immersed in it. Maybe it's just his nature?" Robert mused, shaking his head helplessly before vanishing himself.

After Robert and Clark left, vehicles from various agencies arrived. The sudden appearance of three suns in the sky was a significant event that the authorities couldn't ignore, especially since they were unaware of Clark and Robert's involvement. Agencies capable of investigation arrived at the scene, but they found nothing, not even the dust of Grant's corpse. Eventually, they left empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Robert arrived at the Avengers' base to inquire about the progress with the vampires and werewolves. To his surprise, the base was much more populated than expected, with many more presences, easily identifiable as either vampires or werewolves.

"What's going on? Is the Avengers expanding or turning into a shelter?" Robert asked, looking at Tony Stark and Martian Manhunter who were busy with something.

"Is he an Avenger?" Dark Night Werewolf frowned upon hearing Robert's tone, feeling irked. Normally, he would have been ready to teach Robert a lesson, but he refrained since he was on the Avengers' turf, aware of their strength.

"No, he's not an Avenger, just an auxiliary member..." Tony Stark quickly clarified, looking at the Dark Night Werewolf with a smile.

"Auxiliary member, huh? That makes me feel better!" Dark Night Werewolf's eyes lit up, striding towards Robert and transforming into his werewolf form. Familiar with the auxiliary members like Deadpool, Moon Knight, and Blade, he felt confident enough to teach Robert a lesson.

"Kid..." Just as Dark Night Werewolf opened his mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and found himself swiftly hurled through the air, crashing into a specially made metal wall, crumpling it.

Gulping at the sight, the surrounding vampires and werewolves glanced fearfully at Robert. They hadn't anticipated Robert's terrifying strength. Knowing that the Dark Night Werewolf couldn't even dent that metal wall, yet now it was completely smashed, they became more cooperative with Tony Stark's experiments and tests.

"Cough, cough!" Dark Night Werewolf, climbing out of the metal debris, felt dissatisfied with his earlier performance, not having experienced the attack. He attempted to speak but froze upon seeing Robert transform into a twenty-meter giant ape. Even Tony Stark and Martian Manhunter were taken aback, realizing the base's high ceiling was barely sufficient.

"Who are you calling kid?" Giant Ape Robert sneered at the Dark Night Werewolf.

"Me! Calling myself lucky to meet the great ape master. I hope you'll forgive me..." Dark Night Werewolf quickly reverted to human form, smiling obsequiously at Robert, knowing he couldn't afford to anger the giant ape.

Robert returned to normal, ignoring the Dark Night Werewolf. He understood Tony Stark's intention to use him to intimidate these beings into cooperation.

"What are you researching? Is the Venom issue resolved?" Robert asked, noticing the blood samples being analyzed and wondering about Peter Parker's absence.

"Venom's problem isn't solvable overnight. Like these vampires and werewolves, it has flaws. With the Dark Dimension's urgency, we sent him back. He has his own life to manage..." Tony Stark explained with a shrug.

"And the others? On a break?" Robert inquired.

"Yeah, they're back to their lives. The vampire and werewolf issues took time, and most can't help with the remaining research. Their intellect isn't on par with mine and Martian Manhunter's," Tony Stark said, noticing Robert's disappearance mid-sentence.

"Didn't you say he was an auxiliary member?" Dark Night Werewolf asked Tony Stark with a hint of resentment.

"He is, not an official Avenger. Have you heard his name? No. He's a special advisor for extraordinary events and powerhouses, assisting us with formidable foes..." Tony Stark clarified.

"Special advisor? For what?" Dark Night Werewolf asked, blinking.

"For dealing with powerful extraordinary beings. For instance, he handled several top-tier threats from the Dark Dimension, surpassing Earth's rules but still falling to him," Tony Stark explained.

The vampires and werewolves fell silent, realizing the Avengers' true strength far exceeded their expectations. Originally thinking the Avengers dealt with minor superhumans, they now saw them as capable of handling dimension-level events. This was precisely the perception Tony Stark wanted. If possible, he hoped to convert the vampires and werewolves into auxiliary personnel, reducing their reliance on machines and robots.
