The Bounty Hunter (1/3)

{Bonus Chapter for 100 powerstones. Every 100 powerstones would be rewarded with 1 to 2 bonus chapters. Today will be just one bonus chapter since I'm busy.}

{Lex Luther POV}

"We can plan all we want, but we can't ignore the being known as the Scarlet Demon." I was standing on a stage, surrounded by screens that showed the world's biggest villains, or those with the most power worldwide. All of us were the arc enemy of one of the heroes, all but Vandal Savage.

We got myself, Lex Luthor the arch-enemy of Superman, I was working on getting into the phantom zone to get people like General Zod. A few years ago, Superman had sent them there seeing as he couldn't defeat them, thereby saving the day.

The arch enemy of Batman, we had Ra's al Ghul. Ra's Al Ghul had more than enough right to stand amongst us, and Ra's Al Ghul's plans for humanity aligned well with Vandal Savage's plan. on top of that, he has the League of Shadows, the most deadly assassin organization in the world. As for what his goal was it was simple really. Ra's al Ghul aims to save the Earth from ecological devastation by destroying most of its population.

Poison Ivy also sat amongst us, Vandal Savage promised her continent all to herself and her plants. She dreams of wiping out the human race and making plant life the dormant species on Earth. But she came to accept just a continent, and in the future, she was promised to have countless planets filled with only plant life.

The arch enemy of Green Lantern was two Lanterns. The first was Sinestro, his goal enlighten perfect with us, he wanted to kill the Green Lantern, along with the whole Green Lantern corp, and go on to bring a new order to the world. So, he joined us after his defeat at the Green Lantern a few years back.

Next was Carol Ferris, a member of the Star Sapphire Corps. She had a great love for Green Lantern, but her mind was not stable. Adding the fact Green Lanterns picked being a Green Lantern over being with her, drove her to become a villain who wanted nothing more than to kill him and the rest of the Green Lanterns.

There were others, Zoom who came back from the future just to make Flash's life hell, another enemy of the Flash was the Thinker one of the smartest people in the world, along with Gorilla Grodd whose plan was to rule the world and kill the Flash.

Wonder Woman Arch Enemy was Giganata, a woman born with a rare disease, and wanted to steal Wonder Woman's body. Then there was Cheetah, whose goal was to rule Themyscira and regain her human form as she looked a lot like a cheetah

There was more, but as you see not just anyone could join the Light, and their strongest hitter was currently Klarion who had a burning hatred towards Escanor.

"What do you mean? Can't Klarion at full power defeat him?" Sinestro asked with a frown, not understanding what was so special about this Scarlet Demon. Hell, he was sure he could defeat the trashy human, but he avoided saying that to avoid offending them seeing how they looked to that human as if he was something special.

I said nothing and simply had a video play before all of their screens which showed them the sight of Batman fighting against the Night of Owls. it showed just how he alone was taking on the group... using them to train. This sight caused Ra's al Ghul eyes to narrow, moved by such skilled movements Batman was showing.

"As you can see, Escanor is training them. This is a being who has reached godly levels in Martial arts and magic. Sure his magic is not as powerful as the likes of Klarion, but if their effect is anything like his martial arts, we can expect he isn't going to be an easy person to deal with. So far, we have never seen him use both magic and martial arts, just what are his limits? what is his full potential? These are things we need to know, and quickly before the Justice League grows stronger under his training." I said while looking at all of them with a serious look.

"Wonder Woman is powerful now? How strong would she become with her martial arts nearing the level of Escanor? What would happen if she learned magic? The same for the Flash, superman, and the others. They are troublesome now, but what would we do to stand against them in the future?" I said leaving everyone standing still as they truly realized how bad things were getting.

"We either remove Escanor or find out the limits to his capability," I said already having a plan in mind,

"How about we hire someone to take him out, Lobo would do the task. Lobo is an intergalactic bounty hunter, the doors to heaven and hell will never open to him, making him unkillable. Even if his body is erased, his spirit would just take on someone else body, and make it his own... I hear Darkseid is planning on sending him after him, so let's watch how things play out." Sinestro said calmly, to this, I nodded as I chose to see what would happen.

{MC POV}

"Is the yellow sun all you need? Fight through it, I want you to be able to resist the effect of these stones. Give me 10 more push-ups!" I roared at Superman who was in a room covered in kryptonite, superman's weakness. But through sweat, Superman was doing his push-ups.

"Come now, this green stone emits a unique, poisonous radiation, that's why you're so weak to it. With ultra instinct, your body shall react in the best way possible to counteract that stone." I said to which Superman kept moving, determination filling his eyes, until he dropped to the ground, his hair starting to fall out.

After doing 100 Pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 Squats, and a 10 km run every day, Superman has gotten stronger, but his hair was starting to fall out, it was unclear if it was because of the kryptonite or something else. Either way, Superman was growing stronger with every passing day, as things stand, Superman today held enough power to defeat Darkseid all on his own... at least the weakened Darkseid we faced last time.

I snapped my finger, restoring Superman's hair and erasing all of the kryptonite within the room. With that, Superman's sighed feeling the power returning to him.

"Alright, bath in the sun for some time and we shall go measure your capability," I said to which Superman nodded with a kind smile. I left and went into a room that currently had the Flash running at full speed in circles to read his top speed.

"Nice, 1% the speed of light," I said while looking at the readings, flash dropped to the ground, too tired to breathe. Fun fact about the flash, he didn't need to run at the speed of light or faster to go backward in time. He travels in time by changing 'the vibrations of his body'

I know, it was a weird concept which caught me off guard as well. This is the same vibration thing that gives him the ability to travel between different dimensions. Just think of it as The flash vibrating to a point where he becomes intangible even to time.

"Yeah, with your training I'm getting faster," Flash said while getting up, I had forced him to train without the use of the speed force, pushing his normal capability to the peak. I also had him deepen his connection with the Speed Force, which had more benefits as he learned more ways he could use the Speed Force... and no Speed Force lightning sword nonsense.

The speed force was pretty much the embodiment of motion across the multiverse, with the flash being able to tap into that, the number of things he could do was great. For example, he had been learning to absorb the kinetic energy of things, the speed force was in everything that was moving, so if he should just take the speed force out of things, he would slow down enemies, while making himself faster.

"Alright, I'm ready," Superman said feeling like he was at 100%. I nodded while walking over to a benchpress, and cast a spell that would make the weights be able to absorb the force used to lift them, to make them heavier.

I recorded how much force Superman was able to push up on the weights, and I nodded impressed at the scale Superman's power had reached.

"With this, you should be able to move around continents," I said to which Superman sighed as he would have to hold back even more.

"Well, you all did your daily workout, and health study books reading... so, I have nothing more to do today, good luck," I said calmly, to which the two sighed seeing me leave. Honestly, with how capable they were today, they wondered if a time would ever come when they would need to show so much power... 

Superman and Flash had lookout duty today on the Watch Tower, like always, I sent a clone to the Watch Tower to train them, I was too lazy to always go up there and do that stuff.

"Shouldn't we go help him?" Diana who laid on top of me asked seeing Batman getting his butt beat on TV. All Batman could do was avoid the sure kill attacks, but as the injuries increased, he grew weaker and his blood kept filling the ground.

He had everything taken care of, but it all went downhill when he had to keep saving someone calling herself Batwoman, an act that led to Batman in the state he was in right now. That Batwoman was strong, but not strong enough to be of any use to the likes of Batman and those he was fighting. honestly, she got in the way... she wasn't even trained by Batman, she just took up the role.

"He has everything taken care of," I said before my eyes narrowed looking at the appearance of countless ninjas surrounding Batman. It looked like Batman was done for, but a Batsuit fell from the ceiling, sending the villains flying with a punch, while the bloody Batman fell to the ground.

Batwoman wanted to run over and see if he was alright, but she was busy trying to avoid being burned alive by Firefly. Luckily for her, the Batsuit held out its palm, and with a spin, it sent beams outwards which sent all of the ninjas, and villains flying away.

'wow, there isn't a plot, they fight to kill.' I thought seeing the state Batman was in, it would take him months to recover from such a beating. Batwoman also would need some time to recover as she had a few bullets inside her,

More bat suits broke through the sky, taking out all of the ninjas and villains, all while Batman who had fainted was taken away, needing medical help or else he could die. Batwoman was also taken away, although she was displeased with the matter.

"She needs to go through some good training, her father's training isn't enough for her to put on that custom," I said while eating some snacks,

"I like her spirit, I'm sure Batman would teach her," Diana said with a smile, to which I just nodded... although Batwoman might be too headstrong for my liking. She reminded me of people like Lois, Mary Jane, and those other comic females who put themselves in danger just to be saved by their boyfriend or something. Honestly, it had always annoyed me, and those types of women should be checked if they had survival skills, as they would have died hundreds of times over without plot armor.

"Well, I should get going," I said lightly, leaving Diana confused as to where I was going when I stayed home all the time, and only sent clones out to do my job.

"I need to go around the universe and other dimensions to do a few things, I should be back by next week if everything goes as planned. Don't die, I could only bring back the dead with a 100% success rate if they died within 4 days." I said while giving her a kiss,

"I thought it was 3 days," Diana asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm improving my skills every day, one day I will reach a point where I can bring back the dead so long as they died within a billion years or something crazy like that," I said with a smile, to which Diana rolled her eyes, not believing my words.

Ingal is the spell I'm talking about. This spell can be used to resurrect a target. If used within three seconds of death, the target can be resurrected without any risk. Even Anos had to obey such rules without pulling out his power of Destruction, I managed to improve this so it could work within 4 days of a target's death.

"How about you leave after we enjoy ourselves? You don't expect me to go a week all by myself right?" Diana asked softly, to which I blinked... and why would I say no to such a request?

"B-but this time you stop when I say stop," Diana said seeing the look in my eyes, 5 million years without sex, porn, or anything like that... and to have such a beautiful woman as a girlfriend, let's say my sex drive was anything but small. Something which Diana both loved and hated since she would be left tired, and weak. That feeling she hated, she didn't need to having 12 orgasms back to back... it was nice and all, but it left her unable to walk the following 12 hours, and as a hero, she couldn't have that.
