I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

The secret that Zod never knew until his death was seen through by this alien at a glance?!

Swish!

Brainiac vanished from his spot in an instant, appearing before the two with lightning speed, and sent Clark, weakened by the Red Sun and not fully recovered, flying with his fist.

Bang!

The shockwave exploded, and Clark coughed up blood that shot through the sky. He was blasted dozens of miles away, carving a deep trench several miles long at the bottom of the Metropolitan Pit.

He felt dizzy and staggered to his feet from the ditch. Before he could regain his balance, he collapsed to one knee.

"A weak physiological state."

After severely injuring Clark with a single blow, Brainiac frowned, glanced at his fist, and then at the mechanical superhero who had smashed a deep crater in the ground. He seemed displeased that he didn't need to attack Clark in his weakened state to finish him off.

"But it makes no difference. Even if you have plenty of energy, you're like a child against an adult in front of me. You have no chance of winning."

Batman on the ground was shocked to see Superman so easily defeated and rendered incapacitated.

"This guy……"

After David and Clark came into his sights, he searched the world for the existence of superhumans. In a small town called Smallville, he found quite a few superhumans, and he also found some signs in other places.

But none of them can compare to Clark and David.

Even though Clark was physically weak, he was like a living nuclear bomb, and he was defeated so easily!

"Now it is your turn."

Of the three factors that allowed him to enter the biological shell on the other side of the universe, two have now been resolved in the short time he has been there, leaving only the last one.

Brainiac looked at David with unhurried speed.

"An unknown life form."

David's expression turned solemn. He made a grasping motion in the air, manipulating the gravity field to exert all his pressure on him.

Brainiac's strength is extraordinary; he is one of the few characters whose strength surpasses that of the normal Kryptonian Son. Like Darkseid, he knows the weaknesses of the Kryptonians but never bothers to exploit them to defeat the Kryptonian Son. Yet, he has defeated the Kryptonian Son many times.

As if squeezed by a massive mountain, the sudden increase in gravity passed directly through Brainiac's protective field, clamping his body tightly. Brainiac looked around.

"Good strength, but still a little lacking."

He leaped into the air, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, staring at the gravity that could crush mountains, and threw a punch at David. David's eyes narrowed, and he raised his fist to meet the punch.

The two figures collided like Mars hitting Earth.

Boom boom!

A thunderous sound echoed above the sinkhole.

The air blasts exploded outwards in layers like ocean waves, accompanied by a humming sound in the atmosphere.

Hit in the body, David groaned and flew backward, never having felt such a terrifying, overwhelming force that almost pierced through his defenses, which combined kinetic energy absorption with his powerful physique.

Brainiac tilted his head to the side, his cheek slashed by a fist encased in compressed cosmic energy. He wiped his face and glanced at the green blood on his fingers.

"My biological shell can't remember the last time it was injured."

You're more powerful than my modified mechanical Kryptonian.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he leaped forward, raised his fist, and attacked again. The injury on his cheek healed completely in the blink of an eye.

The two figures clashed repeatedly in mid-air, their fists and feet striking each other. David's combined power was slightly inferior to Brainiac's, but Brainiac's defense was also weaker than his.

Brainiac's bio-shell defense is comparable to, or even slightly inferior to, that of an ordinary Kryptonian, but he also possesses a super-fast healing ability that David cannot match.

Both have their own advantages, and neither can gain the upper hand for the time being.

David tried again to manipulate the gravity field to affect Brainiac's movements, but Brainiac was no match for the mechanical superhero.

“My spine can process more than 7 x 10^57 bytes of information in an instant, and my brain is seventy times that. Your fancy tricks are useless against me.”

The instant the gravity exerted its pressure, he adjusted the way he exerted force, moving freely in the ever-changing gravity field, his attacks still incredibly sharp.

After being cleaved dozens of meters away by a single palm strike, David lowered his slightly numb hand, fired shockwaves from his eyes, and unleashed a full-force energy attack that, unlike his previous casual attack, pierced through Brainiac's protective force field.

But the greatly weakened attack only hindered Brainiac's movements, causing him to stagger backward without sustaining any injuries, before he attacked again.

The belt that Brainiac used for space jumps was no longer in use; its speed was so fast that it was like teleportation, completely undetectable to ordinary people.

There is a high chance that David will find a weakness in him.

As an intelligent life form with a level 12 intelligence, Brainiac's learning ability is unparalleled in the entire universe. Even without deliberate study, he can master tens of thousands of fighting techniques in just one millisecond.

Although his abilities all come from technology and seem to have nothing to do with hand-to-hand combat, in reality, Batman's fighting skills, which represent the pinnacle of human prowess, are nothing more than a child throwing punches in front of him.

His experience in extracting and loading life forms is unparalleled.

David also has an extremely developed mind and his fighting skills surpass Batman's, but he is still far inferior to Brainiac.

As he suffered more attacks, he felt as if his defenses were being breached, and his body began to gradually become injured.

It must be admitted that Brainiac is a formidable enemy who can pose a life-or-death crisis to him.

David's eyes were sharp, and his blood was boiling like molten lava, surging through his veins at high speed. Faced with a life-or-death threat, the world before him seemed to slow down, and his potential was unleashed.

Unbeknownst to him, his punches and kicks became increasingly powerful, unleashing even greater strength.

"Ok?"

Catching David's fist, Brainiac was startled and looked at him with a hint of surprise. The extraordinary power allowed him to see through David's skin.

"Your bones and muscles are like iron blanks being hammered, becoming denser and tougher."

Your genes... are like the most perfect creation in the world.

I...I don't quite understand...?

Brainiac was somewhat incredulous, but he didn't care at all about being punched and sent flying several miles by David. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were no longer indifferent, revealed a hint of excitement.

"I haven't felt this joy in at least two hundred years! I seem to have underestimated you."

He wasn't like a battle maniac; he was more like a scientist who had stumbled upon a miracle that seemed to be a perfect work of God.

David also felt the condition of his body, as if he had finally encountered someone who could pose a threat to him. His enormous life potential was being forced out, and he became stronger and stronger.

"Is it an Eternal Race's unique physique?"

He instantly realized the reason: what brought him this amazing change was not the latest template, but the initial template that he had completely integrated with—the Thanos template.

The Eternals are the product of an experiment meticulously designed by the incredibly powerful Celestials of the Marvel multiverse. Thanos is not only that; he is far more powerful than ordinary Eternals, and his mutation is almost a miracle.

Why did Death, one of the five cosmic creators, approach Thanos when he was young, show him favor, and guide him to become a dark tyrant?

It was precisely because of Thanos's unique genes and physical structure.

David's fierce offensive surged toward Brainiac like waves of raging tides, causing Brainiac to frown. He felt as if David was looking at a tool.

"Let me capture you, and your body will become my path to perfection."

He snorted coldly in displeasure, threw a punch to meet the attack, and the two fought faster and faster, turning into two afterimages. Even the ultra-high-definition high-speed satellites in the sky could only capture blurry shadows.

Bang bang bang!

The clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles were all shaken apart, and it was as if one airburst bomb after another was being dropped into the sky. Milky white air waves exploded one after another, stirring up the atmosphere and making a continuous buzzing sound.

Thanos is always perceived as someone who gets his moment of glory by using various cosmic treasures, such as the Infinity Gauntlet and the Cosmic Cube.

In fact, there's a version of Thanos who once dominated the universe solely through his own abilities—Emperor Thanos!

David's fist slammed through Brainiac's defenses, striking his chest with a crisp cracking sound. The feeling of each punch landing on flesh was exhilarating.

Initially, his strength lay entirely in his powerful physique, but as he acquired the template, his strength gradually shifted towards other abilities, making him more like a superhuman. And now, his physical strength is constantly increasing.

"Emperor Thanos, after millions of years, Thanos has aged and even grown a white beard, but after endless battles, the potential of his unique genes has been fully unleashed, making his body even more robust and tall."

Countless powerful enemies have fallen beneath his feet; he conquered the Earth and destroyed Asgard.

Even Thor, who inherited Odin's power and grew stronger with age due to his Asgardian royal bloodline, was no match for Thanos. He defeated the Phoenix Force fragments, the Watchers, and the Celestials one after another.

Even Galactus, one of the five cosmic entities, was killed by him, and his skull became his imperial palace. The Hulk, who grew stronger with rage, became a dog kept under his throne.

Information about Thanos flashed through David's mind, and a look of joy crossed his eyes. Thanos's physique still had great potential for him to explore. Having gained new abilities one after another, he seemed to have underestimated and forgotten his original template.

Click, click, click!

The sound of bones cracking rang out continuously. Brainiac's face turned pale, and he gradually found it difficult to withstand David's attacks, being forced to retreat step by step in the air.

His super-fast healing ability allows him to recover even with only a drop of blood left, but even the most powerful healing ability cannot keep him at full strength when his body is injured.

David's increasingly formidable strength gradually approached and even surpassed his, disrupting the balance between the two men, each with their own advantages.

The situation is beginning to change dramatically!

145. Chapter 144 is not the end, but the beginning.

The injured Clark watched the two men fight from the ground, his heart pounding with tension, sweat beading on his forehead.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of not only Metropolis, but the entire planet rests on this battle.

Seeing that David and Brainiac were evenly matched at first, he was filled with worry, because Clark knew that David did not have Brainiac's strong regenerative ability and that his injuries would continue to accumulate.

If this continues, the balance of power will likely tip in Blaignac's favor.
