146. The Batrang That Shouldn’t Exist.
Approaching the mound of countless bones, Kara stopped and looked up at the cave. The cave was about sixty meters away and over twenty meters high. For an average person, crossing this distance would require tools, but for Kara, it only required a jump and keen eyesight.
In the light of this 'aged' sun, Kara almost lost her former powerful stature. She could no longer control the biological field, but the residual energy still made her extraordinary. With a strong stomp on the ground, Kara launched herself, 'crashing' fiercely into the cave.
Yes, she 'crashed' in.
Kara didn't think the creature lurking here could hurt her. She didn't care about alerting it. Her sole objective was to drag this monster out of its dark corner and give it a thorough beating. The cave was pitch black, but Kryptonian vision made this irrelevant.
What met her eyes were the remnants of flesh on the ground, seemingly the creature's feeding place. The sloped floor allowed blood to flow out, with a trench specifically dug for this purpose, serving as a 'drainage ditch.' Nearby, there were some 'cages' made by bending steel bars with immense force. Torn cloth and fragments of clothing inside made it clear what they were used for.
Dried blood stained the cave floor black-red, and a deathly stillness pervaded the air. The further she went, the more intense the putrid stench became, making it hard to imagine what kind of monstrous creature lived here.
Only Kara's breathing and the unbearable smell filled the cave. If it were an average person, they would have been scared stiff by now, but Kara wasn't.
She was filled with boundless anger.
Closing her eyes, Kara paused for a moment, believing her rough 'entry' must have disturbed whatever lived inside. It was still here, even if it didn't dare face her.
After a while, Kara opened her eyes.
"Found you."
Clenching her fists, Kara charged ahead without hesitation.
At the cave's deepest point, Kara found her target—the culprit behind the nearby massacres. It was a humanoid creature, though it could no longer be called human. Covered in long hair with a thick tail, its red eyes stared at the intruder.
The creature, sensing its discovery, had a rapid heartbeat, frothing saliva at the corners of its mouth as it emitted short, sharp growls, trying to intimidate Kara.
Kara only felt disgusted, thinking it might dirty her hands.
As she prepared to unleash her heat vision, something on the cave wall caught her eye—
A Batrang.
The creature trembled, staring at Kara, but the primal instinct of danger and fear of predators rendered it unable to retaliate. Its red, fearful eyes watched Kara in her wrath. What puzzled it was the lack of an attack. The human woman had stopped, seemingly contemplating something.
Following Kara's gaze, it soon found the cause of the disturbance: a shuriken embedded in the cave wall. Its sluggish mind started to recall a blurry memory.
It remembered. It remembered this shuriken's owner, who had injured it, slicing its neck with this weapon. If not for its strong defense and healing ability, it might have died at that strange human's hands. But fortunately, it survived.
Which meant, that human must be in trouble. Although it couldn't defeat that human, everyone in this wretched world had weaknesses. Perhaps falling asleep, infected by bacteria, or targeted by other predators!
It had tracked that human across continents for months to kill the one who dared to hurt it. But it was worth it!
The human was injured, and he was done for!
Thinking this, an ugly grin spread across its face as it licked its lips, savoring the memory of the human's flesh. The next moment, a powerful force struck. It felt a dizzying whirl before searing pain erupted in its back. It tried to howl, but a delicate hand, as hard as steel, clamped its neck, making breathing difficult.
"What have you done!?"
Kara gritted her teeth, her eyes glowing with destructive energy.
"...ah..."
The humanoid creature struggled, but its resistance was as futile as a baby's.
In Kara's memory, few people used Batrangs, and one of them was the person who saved her in the previous world. He was a good man. Kara knew from an early age about the multiverse, countless worlds interconnected yet distinct. Crossing the multiverse was hard, and traversing the 'great worlds' was even harder.
Batrangs shouldn't exist here. This world shouldn't have Metropolis, Gotham, Kryptonians, or Batman!
Kara hadn't expected to see this, in this world, in this cave. This could only mean one thing. Gazing at the blood-stained shuriken, Kara felt her eyes twitch involuntarily. She slowly turned her gaze back to the hideous creature, still struggling. Kara's fist tightened.
Boom!
A massive cracking sound shattered the evening's silence, echoing through the valley.
Outside the cave,Pietro, in the middle of relieving himself, was startled by the sudden loud noise.
