Except for Gypsy, the other "remnants" of the Syndicate were waiting outside the door.
Red Arrow suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He said to the people around him, "Guys, I feel something is wrong. Was our choice really the right one?"
"You're backing out?" Breakdance mocked him. "At a time like this?"
Before Red Arrow could retort, a grating noise came from the metal door opposite, immediately drawing everyone's attention. They turned to look.
The super-metal alloy door bulged outwards from the inside as if made of mud. It was being breached from within. A withered hand burst through the distorted steel bulge, then tore open the edge.
Ultraman, his muscles significantly atrophied, stepped out from the torn metal opening.
He looked different from everyone's expectations, not just his appearance. Red Arrow even felt that Ultraman's demeanor was off.
He quietly backed away, preparing to slip out.
"I can hear your voices, and I can see you. You'd best stop, Oliver."
Red Arrow's steps halted, not because he heard Ultraman's words, but because he felt a murderous aura enveloping him.
He stiffly raised his head and saw Ultraman's eyes glowing faintly.
"No, please..." Ultraman was actually going to kill him!
Red Arrow didn't know what he had done to make the other party want to attack him.
Was it just because of that last sentence?
"I'm sorry, Oliver." Ultraman's tone was unexpectedly gentle, but Red Arrow only felt a greater chill in his heart.
"But the new Syndicate doesn't need powerless ordinary people, so..." A crimson color completely filled Ultraman's eyes. "I'm very grateful for your contribution today."
Two red rays shot out, like two conical light beams, the other end enveloping Red Arrow's entire body. In an instant, Red Arrow was completely eradicated by the Heat Vision!
Only a charred human-shaped outline remained on the ground.
"I admit our previous methods might have been a bit too gentle."
Everyone hadn't recovered from the shock of Red Arrow's Death when they turned to see Ultraman floating in the sky.
His Heat Vision was still in a pre-activation state, like someone holding a loaded gun and speaking to them.
"From today onwards, there will be no more mercy. We will enslave all mortals and kill all who oppose us!"
Lobo, being an honest man, was the first to agree.
"I agree! As long as I can freely crush those little meat worms later!"
As an alien, Lobo had no empathy for Earthlings. He didn't even consider them to be on the same level of life as himself.
He had long felt that people from alien civilizations like Ultraman should adopt more brutal rule. The Syndicate's past rule was too "weak," and he believed Ultraman had finally awakened.
"Very good, the first member has agreed. The others?"
Ultraman admired Lobo. Even if he was a bit stupid, Ultraman now understood that it was better to have a completely loyal fool than a capable traitor.
Superwoman, that bitch, he would sooner or later torment her to Death!
Under Ultraman's glare, the other Syndicate members had no choice but to agree to his decision.
Besides, upon closer thought, the Syndicate had already become this monstrous mess. Even if Ultraman reappeared in public, it would likely be difficult to intimidate humans as before.
So they might need something drastic, something more brutal to show humanity, to scare them, so they could remember the Syndicate's terror.
Ultraman nodded in satisfaction. In reality, his current situation was quite dangerous; this might be the weakest he had ever been.
To subdue these restless fellows, he had to make an example of someone, to use one person's life to deter this group and make them obedient.
And among all the metahumans, Red Arrow was the softest target. If not him, then who?
"Very good, I'm glad we can reach a consensus. So, for our new ideal, I think it's necessary to start now. Everyone, kill all the ordinary people in this prison!"
This was no challenge for the Syndicate. They had been doing it before, just not thoroughly.
"But we must hurry now. Green Lantern and Flash could arrive here at any moment."
Gypsy said cautiously.
But Ultraman merely gave her a flat look, and Gypsy dared not speak again.
Not just her, the others also saw Ultraman's expression and knew there was no room for discussion. They could only get busy, killing every living person they could find in the prison.
It didn't actually take long, no more than ten minutes. The entire super-prison was "cleaned" thoroughly. Lobo had the most fun, he really enjoyed the work.
After doing these things, Ultraman led the remaining remnants of the Syndicate out of the prison and flew towards the Antarctic Base.
He needed to recover his strength as quickly as possible, and he had to find a way to deal with the man who had taken Mazahs's power, Justice League's Shazam!
But Ultraman's previous battle with the opponent had ended too quickly; he couldn't find any weaknesses in the other party.
However, he mused, Owlman should have some ideas, but he didn't know where the other party was being held and needed to plan carefully.
Pulling his cloak over his entire body, Ultraman flew like lightning towards the South Pole.
The sunlight was piercing, but it was within his tolerance. After this short period of prison life, he could now endure this level of sunlight.
"Wilson, our game has only just begun, hasn't it?"
In Central City, Flash was currently facing a female villain he had never seen before.
"Madam, please just stay there and don't move, OK?"
As the "remnants" had expected, Flash did not immediately use his super-speed to subdue Observer, but instead tried to persuade her to surrender, attempting to convince her to turn herself in.
"You're just too cute, darling." Observer giggled.
Flash was probably the easiest superhero to deal with because he was the kindest.
"Wait, what did you just call me? You can't say that?"
"Why? Are you afraid your little girlfriend will find out?" Observer, seeing Flash's reaction, couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
As she spoke, Observer walked towards him.
Barry, seeing this female villain walk towards him as if no one else was there, subconsciously took a step back.
"What are you afraid of?"
Immediately after, Observer's eyes lit up. She stared intently into Flash's eyes, and her subsequent words carried her special ability.
"You don't want to fight, darling, you just want to help me."
"Barry, don't look into her eyes!" Little Flash noticed something was wrong and immediately warned him, but it was too late. Barry had already met the other party's gaze.
He mumbled dazedly, "I don't want to fight, I... I just want to help you."
