DC: A New Beginning-Chapter 100: Cameback?

It seemed he had been lonely for too long, and right now, Rachel was the only person in front of him.

Emperor Viktor couldn’t help but pour out everything in his heart to her.

"I finally caught the opportunity. After all, the power of the yellow lantern is so tempting. No matter which possible past, how could I resist not using it?"

"I replicated the surgery you did on me that time again, but this time I stitched the flesh into the soul. After that, I traveled in the hypertime stream, searching for reality and an opportunity to exploit."

Even Rachel could understand what had happened.

Doomsday was too powerful, and Viktor had no choice but to ask Rachel for five yellow lantern rings to temporarily gain the power to fight Doomsday. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The fear energy resonated with the atoms inside Viktor’s body, giving Emperor Viktor, who had been wandering in the hypertime stream, a chance to enter reality.

Rachel’s eyes widened.

She felt as if something was missing inside her, and a strange sense of suffocation tightened around her breathing.

"Then what about Viktor?"

"The same point in time and reality didn’t need two Viktor. The price for me entering this reality from the hypertime stream was that he had to take my place and enter the hypertime stream."

Emperor Viktor frowned and gently covered Rachel’s eyes with one hand.

"I’ve said a bit too much. Now, I must ask you to sleep for a while."

"Emperor Viktor!"

The original Viktor threw a punch forward with all his strength.

His punch hit nothing, but the force of it exploded through the air, directly blowing away the person who had just called him.

After throwing that punch, Viktor stood there in shock.

Looking at the spaceship standing in the middle of mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, Viktor’s mind felt completely blank.

He just made the biggest gamble in history.

Under the heavy pressure of Doomsday and the life and death situation with the energy provided by the fear spectrum, Viktor raised himself to a level where he could fight Doomsday.

However...

Where did Doomsday go?

This place is also not the deep ice shell of Ganymede.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Behind that familiar spaceship are overwhelming ruins and pools of blood on the ground gathering like small rivers.

The person who had just been blown away by his punch’s shockwave flew back, looking confused and uncertain.

"Viktor? How do you suddenly feel so much stronger?"

Looking at that familiar figure, Viktor’s eyes widen.

"Instructor Vidor?"

He lowered his fist and looked around, but his gaze stopped for a moment on the mountain of corpses not far away.

Although most of the corpses have been torn into pieces, some basic features could still be recognized.

Together with the Viltrum transport ship standing among the corpses, blood, and burned wasteland—yet still looking strangely spotless...

"Titan?"

He took a sharp breath.

’What’s going on?’

’Who the hell sent me back without permission?’

Just at the moment when his thoughts are in complete disarray, a powerful, large hand covers his shoulder.

"Viktor, don’t tell me you’ve killed so much that you’ve gone dizzy again?"

Since Viktor had always performed well before, Instructor Vido was still willing to be patient with him.

"You disappeared on Titan for over a full month. Instructor Korath and the others went to find you. I didn’t expect you to fly back on your own. Hurry up and go rest. I’ll figure out a way to notify Korath and the others to come back."

Viktor understood clearly that all Viltrumites sent to the assigned trial planet were not allowed to carry communicators to ensure the purity of the assessment.

They selected their own area through the scanned projection of the assessment planet while still in the transport ship.

After landing, everyone went to the area they had selected and began a full-scale extermination.

After the instructors first demonstrated how to wipe out the first group of rebels that Titan had organized against the Viltrum warship, the remaining students taking the rite of passage were given five months to complete the test.

They were not allowed to destroy everything.

They had to search inch by inch and kill their way through the planet.

After finishing the test, they could fly back to the transport ship where the leading instructor would inspect the results.

Their scores would be based on how many hidden survivors the more experienced instructors could still find afterward, as well as how quickly the students completed the test.

With a bit of a headache, Viktor knocked on his own head and couldn’t help sighing.

"No need to notify Instructor Korath and the others."

"Why?"

Instructor Vido seemed somewhat confused and turned his head to ask.

But right after that, Vido felt his vision start spinning.

Viktor withdrew his hand strike.

Looking at the blood covering half his palm, Viktor thought for a moment, then awkwardly lifted the hem of his battle skirt and wiped the blood from his hand.

Once he finally found that familiar feeling again, Viktor exhaled and turned back to look at that transport ship.

There are four billion people on this planet, and two squads and two lead instructors had been assigned there.

Inside the ship, there should still be seventeen young Viltrumites sitting there and all "excellent seeds" who completed their assessments early.

"Whether I’ve really come back, or this is just a dream..."

He looked up at Titan’s unique pale purple sky, and his smile gradually became a little twisted.

"I’m afraid I’ll have to say a proper thank you to you at some point in the future."

Afterward, Viktor put away his expression, hummed a little tune, and walked onto the boarding ramp extended from the transport ship.

The iris recognition at the cabin door identified him and opened the automatic door for him.

Stepping into the transport cabin, only three young Viltrumites are sitting upright in the center, watching the continuously changing projections in front of them.

The education system of Viltrumites during the civil war was extremely harsh.

There was almost no entertainment at all.

The only ways to relax were either entering a cryo-sleep pod after finishing a mission or watching warlike documentaries.

But what the three of them were watching now was not a documentary. It was a performance report from the "outstanding students" who had gone to other assigned planets for their trials.

One of the female warriors heard the sound of the hatch opening, turned around, and saw Viktor humming to himself.

She stood up and frowned.

"Viktor, you actually have the face to come back? Our team could have also broken the record for total assessment time, but you disappeared for months. Where have you been these past months?!"

He stopped his tune and revealed an expression they couldn’t understand.

Seeing the strange smile on Viktor’s face, the woman warrior suddenly felt a cold shiver go down her back.

"Just three people awake? The others all went into hibernation chambers?"

Viktor asked with a smile.

In the next instant, Viktor disappeared from the spot where he was standing.

The female warrior’s expression changed in shock, and she immediately tightened her fists while the other two Viltrumites also sensed something wrong and stood up.

He found them, at this moment, too slow to keep up with him.
