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

"Cough...cough, I think I can provide remote support to the Transcendent."

Come on, Barry.

Seeing that the two in front of him were about to fight after exchanging only a few words, Green Lantern raised his hand and conjured a platform to lift Flash up. The two of them, along with the others, retreated to the back.

Only three people stayed.

Clark, Batman in his Fenrir armor, and Diana carrying her Guardian Shield stared intently into the distance.

David and Redemption need no further explanation; their attitudes reveal each other's unwavering resolve. One has no intention of handing over the mask, while the other is determined to obtain it. For the situation to change, it will likely require one of them to overpower the other.

Rumble!

"Just as I suspected, you have ulterior motives."

The two men faced off remotely, their eyes gleaming with an electric tension. David's face was etched with coldness, and as if moved by his emotions, the weather in the sky suddenly changed, with dark clouds churning and lightning flashing.

His tall, powerful body was surrounded by dazzling divine lightning, and a low wind blew across the grassland.

"I'm not interested in your plans, but to prevent you from getting into trouble again because of the mask, I'll deal with you right here!"

David agreed to meet Redemption here for two reasons: first, he had no reason to back down; second, if Redemption truly harbored malicious intentions, he might 'visit' the Justice League headquarters in order to obtain the mask, which was very close to Metropolis.

'Redemption' is not someone with ordinary power; if the two were to fight, the entire city and the surrounding towns might suffer a disaster.

"Transcendent One, is this your choice?"

You are disobeying the Lord's will!

With a roar of redemption, his energy erupted, like a dazzling sun rising from the ground. The explosive force shattered the earth within a radius of hundreds of meters. His figure was like a comet, sparking flames as he punched David with a thunderous roar!

164. Chapter 162: Another Redemption?

David swooped down from the sky, and his two fists, each carrying tremendous energy, collided violently.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, David swooped down from the sky, his two fists, each carrying earth-shattering energy, colliding violently. The explosion was deafening, as if a million tons of high-explosive had been dropped in an instant. Energy ripples mixed with lightning spread like waves, sweeping across miles. The earth collapsed, the grassland turned into sinkholes, and waves of earth blasted into the sky.

Before it could subside, amidst the surging energy, David's body remained motionless in mid-air, as if nailed to a wall.

Redemption was taken aback. He hadn't expected that even with his power surging beyond his control, he still hadn't knocked David away. The next second, he threw another vicious punch. The terrifying power and speed tore through the air with a shriek. David steadily caught his earth-shattering fist, and lightning suddenly erupted from his palm.

"God doesn't even govern his own heavenly kingdom, do you think he would care about you on this tiny earth?"

Ah!

The pain of being struck by lightning was excruciating. He roared and unleashed a torrent of energy from his hand, knocking David back and grabbing him hard.

"How dare you disrespect the Lord!"

The powerful gravity pressed down on David's body, making him feel as if he were being crushed by a mountain. He steadied himself and looked around. He never imagined that he would one day experience the feeling of being suppressed by gravity. He always used the same method to fight his enemies.

"You think you're the only one who can do that?"

He remained expressionless as an immense and terrifying gravity descended upon Redemption, who let out a muffled groan and opened his mouth wide.

hum!

A deep blue, scorching energy breath shot out and slammed into David. David raised his hand to shield his face, and as if caught in a raging typhoon, he was pushed backward by the violent force.

It seemed to possess endless heat and energy, even capable of drying up a supervolcano.

Even David's ability to manipulate energy couldn't absorb it all; after absorbing a portion, he had to use his powerful body to forcefully block the remaining energy.

He waved his hand, and the gust of wind dispersed the last wisps of scorching breath.

"I've never seen you use this tactic in the records. Is it because you're afraid of affecting your credibility as God's messenger by acting like a wild beast or monster?"

"Shut up, I am God's chosen one!"

Mockingly playing the role of God's messenger, Redemption's sharp face showed a hint of anger. He rushed forward at lightning speed and fought with David. The two clashed with fists and feet carrying the power to overturn rivers and seas, just like two gods fighting fiercely, stirring up bursts of air that spread for miles, with energy spreading and lightning shooting in all directions.

"Hand over the mask!"

Boom!

David unleashed a devastating lightning strike that sent Redemption flying, his eyes emitting powerful rays of cosmic energy.

“I didn’t bring a mask at all; it’s where it’s supposed to be.”

He raised his hand to block the ray but was knocked away. Redemption stabilized his body, and the energy flames surged again, emitting a terrifying temperature that distorted the light. His figure seemed to transform into a supernova, flying rapidly into the sky, breaking through the clouds, and then turning sharply downwards. Propelled by endless energy, he crashed into David like a comet flying from outer space.

Even towering mountains were leveled by his impact.

Where did you put the mask?

David reached out and tore the ground apart, lifting a piece of land the size of a small island and several miles in circumference, which he then hurled at Redemption.

Bang bang bang!

The unstoppable momentum of redemption pierced through the thick earth like an unstoppable arrow.

Just as his vision cleared, David, who had disappeared below, suddenly reappeared with lightning speed and punched him in the head, sending him flying.

"It seems you don't have super senses, and your control over gravity is also quite rough."

Simply by obstructing the view, one loses control of the enemy's position.

The faith of millions of Catholics amplified the power of salvation to the point where it rivaled David's, but some things remained unchanged no matter how much energy he possessed; his control over his abilities not only failed to improve but actually decreased.

Bang!

Under the terrifying force of the impact, Redemption flew out with his head tilted, his body slamming into the ground and uncontrollably tearing a miniature canyon. He lay at the end of the ravine, looking slightly disheveled, his eyes blazing with rage. He pushed off the ground and flew up again to attack David.

"The Lord is watching over me; I will never be defeated!"

The two clashed again, fighting from the sky to the ground and back again, tearing apart the atmosphere and shattering the earth wherever they went, like two nuclear bombs exploding incessantly.

The shockwave shattered the clouds in the sky, and the animals on the grassland, such as zebras, hyenas, and buffalo, were evaporated in fear by the lightning and energy.

Clark and his companions watched the battle from a great distance in horror.

Is this your limit?

David dodged a ray that grazed his ear by turning his head. His expression remained calm as he waved his hand, releasing a massive barrage of divine lightning. The dense, raging lightning struck Redemption like a tidal wave. Redemption flew back in fury, but David easily dodged it, grabbed his cloak, and flung it away, crashing into a low mountain range in the distance.

Realizing David's power, Redemption no longer held back and went all out, unleashing wave after wave of energy surges, but they still couldn't overwhelm David.

The power and energy he displayed startled even himself, fearing that he would be torn apart by the terrifying energy he himself emitted. However, at his peak, he was only on par with David.

"It is indeed a powerful ability, but unfortunately, that's all it is."

David cleaved the atmosphere with a punch.

Manipulating gravity, Redemption is like a ship sailing on the waves, tilting and rocking, calmly dodging Redemption's flawed attacks and delivering a heavy blow.

Redemption, in his eyes, was a clumsy attack and a crude use of ability, which widened the gap in strength between the two. His power and energy had ultimately increased rapidly in a short period of time.

"Super-speed healing?"

After being sent flying hundreds of meters, he steadied himself, turned around, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and watched as the bruises on his face healed rapidly at a visible speed. Hearing David's words, he chuckled coldly.

"What, are you surprised again!"

Not to mention after his power surged, even when he was at the weakest point in the early days of the Church of Redemption, he was never injured, so no one knew that he had this ability.

"I can be resurrected and reborn like Lazarus in the Bible; this is a gift from God!"

Redemption fiercely raised his fist again to strike David.

He was invincible; he would not give up until he obtained the mask. He was determined to let the Lord's glory shine in every part of the world, and his eyes burned with the fierce flame of faith.

"It seems I'll need to spend a little more time on you!"

David remained expressionless as blinding lightning descended from the sky like a divine judgment.

Having read about Redemption's life, he knew that Redemption had likely been brainwashed and led down a path arranged for him by others, becoming a tool for others to expand the church, just like some of the Crusaders in European history. However, he had no interest in tolerating Redemption's fierce attacks while trying to persuade him and lead him back to the right path.

It's simpler to just solve it directly.

"Although it has not been determined who Haitova is."

But there are some things I can still do—I've found them!

On the map projected on Steelbone's wrist, a coordinate was locked, which was the location of Hytohua, a remote chapel in the capital of Asir, where he was online leading the followers of the Global Redemption Church in prayer for salvation.

He had an extremely powerful, almost luxurious team of network experts helping him conceal his signals and evade tracking.

But he breached their firewall in just a few minutes.

“I have stopped his live stream and made a statement online to people who don’t know the truth, hoping it will have some effect.”

"Let's go."

The earth trembled incessantly, and shockwaves swept for dozens of miles. Within the fortress formed by the power of will, Hal Jordan exhaled.

As teammates, they can't just stand by and watch; they can at least offer some help.

Redemption's insane attack on the transcendent who has repeatedly saved the world in order to reclaim the mask is enough reason to take action against the Church of Redemption!

"Who exactly is this Father Hetova, and what is his purpose?"

Since we can't find out, we can go and ask them ourselves.
