Omnitrix: DC's New Dawn

Chapter 115: 115 - Teth Adam



The sun blazed fiercely over the golden sands of Kahndaq, its light glinting off the towering minarets and ancient palaces that adorned its capital city, Shiruta. Its stone monuments of stood erected like guardians.

The city's air thick with tension as crystalline structures, similar to those that had transformed Gotham and other cities, began descending onto Kahndaq. Its arrival caused an uproar among the people who gathered in the streets, some shouted curses, some called to their god, and some to their protector.

At the center of the city, Black Adam stood atop his grand palace, arms cross, his black and gold suit shimmering ominously under the sun. His piercing gaze fixed on the approaching trails, his jaw clenched with fury.

A red streak appeared on the horizon, rapidly closing the distance. Within seconds, Supergirl hovered before him. Her red cape fluttering in the desert winds. Her expression calm but resolute.

"Teth Adam," She began, her voice firm but diplomatic. "I was sent by Nion, to oversee the transformation of Kahndaq. These transformations are meant to help, not harm. I am here to ensure that no harm comes to Kahndaq or its people."

"This is my kingdom, No one alters Kahndaq without my permission. We do not need oversight from an Alien," He roared, his clenched fist crackling with lightning. "Kahndaq has survived for millennia with any interference. Leave now, girl, or face the wrath of a god!"

Kara's expression hardened. "I can't do that. These changes are for the good of everyone, including Kahndaq. I understand your need to protect your people, but—"

Before she could finish, Adam unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking the ground just few inches from her feet, sending dust and debris up in the air.

"You understand nothing!" Adam roared, his voice echoing like thunder. "I am the protector of this land. Not you, not that alien. And I will not allow my kingdom to be tampered with!"

Kara's eyes reddened and heat began to radiate of her skin. "I didn't come here to fight, but if you're determined to stand in the way of growth, you leave me no choice."

Adam snorted in disdain, the conversation was over.

Adam launched himself forward, his fist crackling with lightning. Kara met him mid-air, their collision sending a shockwave that shattered the nearby windows and toppled weaker structures.

Kara's fist struck first, her punch landing squarely on Adam's jaw, sending him spiraling into his castle. Dust rising as multiple walls crumbled, the old structure cracked like spider web. Adam, dust covered and enraged, climbed out of the rubble.

"You dare strike me?!" he bellowed, summonsing a massive bolt of lightning from the sky. "Shazam!"

The lightning thick as a pillar descended, crackling with divine energy as it aimed directly for Kara.

Kara raised her hand, concentrating her magnetic flex, and slapped the lightning bolt. The raw energy sparked through the air before striking the statue nearby, turning the monument into shattered stones.

"You are not the only one who can handle power, Adam," Kara shot back, her figure blurring.

Kara vanished from Adam's perception like a ghost, her flash step a level above his reflex. Her fist buried into Adam's stomach like a drill, lifting the demi-god off the ground. Adam felt the air knocked out of him before he was sent bolting through the sky, followed by a shockwave.

Before he could catch his breath, Kara appeared above him. Her fist raised to deliver Adam to where he belonged, six feet under. But Black Adam was no slouch. The champion of Egypt recovered quickly and met her punch with one of his own.

The two fist colliding were like two bomb going off midair. The shortwave rolled like thunder through the city below, shattering glass. toppled monuments, and deafened people.

Their fight tore through the air, each blow testament to their strength. Kara's speed allowed her to land quick, precise strike, each one pushing Adam further up. Adam's raw strength and experience countered her agility, his punches sending her crashing through the minarets and into the desert sands.

"Your power is formidable," Adam admitted, wiping blood from his lip. "But it is nothing compared to the might of the gods!"

"Meh," Kara replied, mimicking a familiar tone, cracking her neck. "I have fought better."

Teth Adam's face distorted in anger, summoning a massive sandstorm that engulfed the battlefield.

Kara squinted, her vision cutting through the swirling grains, trying to find him. Suddenly, Adam emerged from the storm, his fist colliding with her crossed arm. Kara retaliated instantly with a burst of hear-vision that seared through the sandstorm, creating a path of glass in its wake.

Adam dodged, using the storm to his advantage as he struck her from behind with lightning. Kara grunted as she gritted through the pain, her heat vision chasing down Adam. Adam swan with the storm, striking down Kara with lightning.

"Enough!" Kaa shouted, her skin glowing gold as she exploded into a solar flare. Creating a crater of molten glass as she shot upward, gaining altitude.

Adam tumbled away from the storm, smoke rising from his body. Kara raised her fist glowing with solar flare and punched towards Adam. The energy shot forth from her fist, similar to heat-vision. The energy met its target, throwing up sand and dust. the blazing impact created a small crater in the middle of the desert.

Adam emerged from the dust cloud, visibly shaken but still standing. "You're strong, Kryptonian," he admitted, his voice low and dangerous.

They both moved at the same time, clashing at the center with the sound of a H-bomb going off. Their fight reached a new levels of ferocity. Kara pulled no punches as she gave it her all. Kara fought with speed and precision, weaving between Adam's attacks, and landing blows that staggered him.

Adapting as she fought, her experience with Zion and Barda helping her match Adam in skill.

Adam, however, was also beginning to adapt, his strikes growing faster and more deliberate. He grabbed Kara mid-flight, slamming her into the ground with enough force to leave a deep bruise.

"You're too reckless!" He barked, raising his fist to deliver a final blow.

But Kara caught his punch, her eyes glowing with determination. "And you're too stubborn."

She unleashed a concentrated blast of heat vision, hitting Adam square in the chest and sending him flying. As he recovered, he saw Kara standing tall, her body glowing faintly as her cells absorbed more of the sun's energy.

"Kahndaq doesn't need your protection from progress," She said firmly. "It needs a leader who can guide it into the future."

Adam's fist tightened, "I don't need lessens from a child."

Kara sighed at the stubborn fossil. What she came to do was already done, the crystal has found its mark and the transformation was complete. Kahndaq has already been integrated. She had no more work to do.

"Enough fighting, Teth Adam," Kara spoke up, "My works already done, your city has been changed. Weather you accept it or not is your problem, but do not halt the advancement of your people. Do not halt their progress."

Adam's head snapped in the direction of his city, the once stone city now crystal. It had changed without his wishes.

"You will pay for this," Adam roared, lightning crackling as he got ready to continue the fight.

"My king!"

A group of Kahndaq's citizens stood at the edge of the battlefield, their faces solemn. An elderly man stepped forward, raising his hands.

"Please, my king," the man begged. "Continuing this fighting will only endangers us. If these changes can help Kahndaq, should we not consider them?"

Adam's gaze shifted from Kara to his people, the weight of their words pressing against his pride. His fists unclenched, the crackling lightning dissipating.

Kara lowered her stance, her expression softening. "Black Adam, you care deeply for your people. I can see that. We are only trying to protect them."

Adam's jaw tightened as he considered her words. Finally, he turned away, his voice heavy with reluctant acceptance. "This isn't over, Kryptonian. But for now, I will allow this... intervention."

Kara nodded, relief washing over her as the tension eased. "Thank you. For your people."

Adam stared at her for a moment before turning away. "For Kahndaq," he muttered, disappearing into the shadows of his palace.

Kara remained to oversee the process, ensuring that no harm came to the city or its people. Despite their clash, she respected Adam's determination to protect his country.

But deep within his palace, Black Adam stood alone, watching the changes with a conflicted heart. His pride burned, but so did his desire to protect his people. And as the first signs of progress took root in Kahndaq, he silently vowed to ensure that no one—not Kryptonians, not Nion—would ever take his kingdom from him.

For now, the battle was over.

But the war for the future of Kahndaq had only just begun.

The light of death and dread filled the air.

Black light bursting forth from the coffin like a flood.

Before its fully sung into the body, transforming and rejuvenating the dead. A black suit similar to Green lantern's with Black Lantern symbol appeared on the suit. The dead body snapped opened its eyes, rising from the coffin.

Zion took a step back, his hand on the Katana. Slowly watching as warlock rose from the dead, skin pale and his eyes black. Robin gulped in nervousness as he saw the dead body awaken with particle effect. He saw Zion standing before him with serious expression.

The warlock slowly rose out of the coffin, transformed by the black light. His eyes focused for a moment before locking eyes with Zion.

"Who are you?" He questioned in a ghastly voice.

"I am... Batman and this is Robin," Zion answered, much to Robin's amusement and terror.

At the answer, the resurrected warlock looked at them both in scrutiny, not believing their answer. "Where am I? What year is it?"

"Gotham city, centuries after your death," Zion answered calmly.

"Its been more then a century since I died," The warlock mused. "Are you the ones who woke me up? Why?"

"Well, you dying kinda cursed the whole city," Zion began. "I woke you up so, you could do your magic to absorb it back." Zion explained his plan.

"You want me to absorb the curse?" Warlock repeated.

"Yes," Zion answered.

"What if I don't want to?" The warlock asked, a sadistic glint appearing in his eyes.

"Pretty Please?" Zion answered, "We'd really appreciate it."

Zion's answered made the warlock pause, making him looked a bit suspicious. "What do I get in return?"

"More power," Zion answered, taking out a green pearl filled with Mystic energy.

The warlock stood stunned by the glowing pearl, brilliant with cosmic energy. He was a warlock so powerful it took many powerful mages to put him down. But if he got this, he could definitely grow more power

"Hahahaha," The warlock burst into a bone chilling laughter, making Robin shiver involuntarily. Zion flicked his hand making the pearl vanish.

"How are you sure that I would not kill and steam it from you?" He questioned with venom, ending his laughter. His eyes focused on Zion and Robin, his eyes lusting for more power.

"Absorb the curse," He commanded, using his authority over the Black light.

The warlocks face distorted in confusion and anger as his body left his control. It moved independent on his mind and began to cast Magic using is own life force as its price.

"Did you really think I would allow for your resurrection without any insurance?" Zion sighed as he saw the Warlock glare at him.

Without delay, his body began to cast Magic, his dark chant filled the air. The air filled with malevolent energy, the shadows danced alive, and the darkness deepened.

Suddenly, the shadows around them surged.

"Zion," Robin said, his voice sharp as he drew the swords. "We've got company."

Zion turned to him, "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am."

"WTF!"
