Superman's Saiyan little brother

As Murphy's body uncontrollably flew through the air, his heart was filled with humiliation. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Robert in his current state and was unwilling to give up the Joker's body, Murphy might have self-destructed, splattering Robert with his blood even if it meant his own death!

"Is there really no way to break out of this? Should I summon another avatar to distract the Saiyan and save the Joker's body?" Facing Robert's relentless attacks, a thought flashed through Murphy's mind. Although summoning an avatar to Earth was costly, compared to the Joker's body, the price was acceptable to Murphy.

As Murphy's thoughts raced, his true form in the Hell dimension began to gather energy. However, he stopped abruptly...

Because at that moment, several dozen fighter jets appeared in the sky, heading directly towards where Robert and Murphy were fighting.

Contrary to what one might expect in the face of such a terrifying battle, these jets did not intend to avoid it. Instead, they flew straight towards Robert and Murphy.

Robert's first reaction was to think that these jets were coming to seize the victory from Murphy, but to his surprise, the jets quickly launched their attacks—not at Murphy, but at him.

Yes, the jets' attacks were precisely aimed at Robert, anticipating his movements while subtly protecting Murphy's body behind them.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sky was shrouded in dust. Not only was Robert bewildered, but Murphy was also confused. He couldn't understand who Robert was to attract such hatred and why so many human technological means were targeting Robert...

However, Murphy didn't dwell on it. This was clearly his best chance to escape. Although Robert wouldn't be harmed by human weapons, they could still delay him just enough.

"What's going on? Which faction do these jets belong to, and why are they attacking the Saiyan?!" Steve and the others were equally puzzled, and after a moment of confusion, they became furious.

Although the jets' affiliation wasn't clear, their design indicated they belonged to some official faction, albeit with certain disguises.

"Jarvis! Find out who's behind this and what they want!" Tony Stark's eyes flashed with anger as he quickly gave the order. Steve also began using his connections to investigate.

Meanwhile, the jets in the sky started exploding one by one, with the resulting smoke and flames filling the sky.

Having someone attack him first, Robert couldn't just stand by. He remembered a similar incident after dealing with a Hell Lord last time, but then, Clark had helped block the attackers, and Tony Stark was broadcasting live, so Robert didn't fight back.

But this time was different. Clark wasn't here, and even if he were, he couldn't stop Robert now because Robert was genuinely angry!

Robert also began to suspect that some humans might have ties with Hell. Otherwise, why would human authorities intervene when he fought Hell's lords, like they did last time with the Hell Lord and now with Murphy?

"Lord of Hell, please come this way. We'll cover you..." A voice suddenly came from another group of jets, making everyone, including Murphy, who was trying to escape, freeze.

"Humans protecting me? They're not here for the Saiyan? They're here for me?" Murphy was puzzled for a moment before recalling his earlier conversation with Steve. He laughed, "Humans are truly greedy, seeking eternal life. But it's not that easy. This little price isn't enough, though a fighter jet isn't bad..."

With a swish, Murphy sped towards the source of the voice.

"Hmph!" But at that moment, Robert's cold snort resounded. He didn't know why humans were cooperating with a Hell Lord, but he wouldn't stand idly by. A ki blast shot towards Murphy and the jet.

"Damn!" Seeing the incoming ki blast, Murphy frowned. Already weakened by Robert's previous beatings, he couldn't afford to take another hit. He swiftly changed direction towards another jet, ignoring the one that had called out to him. To Murphy, all the jets were the same; he just needed a vehicle to escape while humans distracted Robert.

As the ki blast hit the first jet, it exploded. Meanwhile, in a remote location, a high-ranking official cursed, "Damn that Saiyan! He's ruined my plan! With the final trap destroyed, can the remaining jets still bring back the Hell Lord?"

Murphy, having boarded another jet, was met with wary and fearful eyes from the pilots and soldiers. Despite their preparations to face Murphy, seeing him in person was terrifying, especially after witnessing him being chased like a dog by Robert.

"The Church's power? Interesting, I didn't expect you to use the Church's power against me. Do you really think Heaven can compare to Hell?" Murphy noticed a soldier's chest emitting a holy light, indicating the Church's power. Murphy quickly infiltrated the surrounding soldiers' minds, learning about the trap hidden in the destroyed jet.

Knowing about the trap didn't scare Murphy. Instead, he laughed. He wasn't arrogant, but in this world, Hell was significantly stronger than Heaven. Even if all the Earth's and other planetary pantheons united, they couldn't match Hell.

Of course, if Jehovah appeared, Murphy would flee, as he couldn't defeat Jehovah with the Joker's body. But Jehovah wouldn't appear here.

Thus, after learning the soldiers' memories, Murphy smirked. Hellfire erupted from him, enveloping everything around.

Just as the Hellfire transformed the jet into a Ghost Rider's vehicle, Robert's ki blast hit it, sending the flaming jet flying. A large hole appeared in the jet, revealing Murphy inside.

However, like the indestructible Joker car, the Hellfire-augmented jet was tough to destroy unless Robert had time to gather a stronger blast.

But Robert had no time. As the jet flew off, Murphy used the ki blast's force to disappear in another direction as a streak of fire.

The surrounding jets, inexplicably, continued attacking Robert. Or rather, they had never stopped. From the moment they arrived, their target was Robert, especially after he began destroying their comrades. They had no choice but to fight back to survive.

The sky was filled with smoke and explosions as Robert quickly dealt with the jets. However, in this short time, the experienced Murphy had vanished, leaving only debris and a powerless, unsightly Joker car.

"He runs fast. What kind of experience makes him so skilled?" Robert muttered, watching Murphy's escape route disappear.

Chasing him now was impossible. With the flaming jet gone, Murphy's traces had vanished. A Hell Lord had countless ways to hide his presence. 

Previously, within Robert's sight and range, Murphy couldn't escape easily. But now, he was gone.

"Are you okay?" Robert landed, turning to Steve.

"I'm fine, just mentally exhausted. But did the Hell Lord really escape?" Steve, removing his portable armor, asked seriously.

"Yes, if not for those jets, he wouldn't have had a chance. I intended to capture him to learn more about Hell..." Robert shrugged, speaking lightly.

"But that wasn't his true form, not even an avatar. He was using a body he forcibly took. There must be more to it. Normally, he would've abandoned it and fled upon seeing me..."

"So even his possessed body is so troublesome? Who exactly is this Hell Lord?" Steve frowned, his expression growing more serious.

"His name is Murphy, but don't say his name aloud. He can hear it..." Robert's eyes flashed as he recalled Murphy's mention of his name, then he transmitted a message to Steve and Bucky, and sent one to Tony Stark. After a pause, he continued, "His name is Murphy, a true Hell Lord!"

"A Hell Lord is stronger than a Hell Lord. You've already encountered a Hell Lord, the one Superman and I fought. Murphy's power surpasses typical Hell Lords!"

"Hmph!" Murphy, having escaped, heard Robert's mention of his name, thinking Robert was trying to distract him and ignored it.

However, as more voices called his name, Murphy grew irritated.

"Damn it! Is this brat's plan?" Murphy was furious. If he weren't outmatched by Robert, he'd return to settle the score.

"Hmm? What's this? That guy?" Suddenly, Murphy's eyes lit up. He sensed something and vanished with his flaming jet.

Elsewhere, the high-ranking official who had cursed Robert's actions ordered his subordinates, "Search all records for information on Murphy!"
