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

[Template integration is 51% complete]

When Hyperion's template exceeded 50%, he gained a new ability that wasn't exactly new.

"Hyperion was born into the Eternal God race, and absorbing and storing cosmic energy is the most basic talent of every Eternal God."

The Eternal Gods learn to manipulate the energy within their bodies from birth and release it freely.

This is the simplest application of cosmic energy.

"With further application, the Eternal Gods, after centuries of learning and mastery, can consume cosmic energy to enhance their various abilities, including but not limited to strength, defense, recovery, endurance, reflexes, and mind!"

David didn't get these abilities from the Thanos template, since Thanos, as a genetic mutant, couldn't even release energy on his own at first, but he did get these abilities and experience from Hyperion.

However, having only recently acquired the new ability, he was unable to master it skillfully, as it was a technique that the Eternal Gods would need to spend hundreds of years learning to use.

"From the moment you appeared, I began to mobilize the energy within my body to amplify my mind, and I finally succeeded just now."

David's lightning-infused punch blasted through the Despair Demon's defenses, striking him in the chest and sending him flying backward.

Upon seeing Despair recognize him, David knew that what made him most troublesome was not the power that had repeatedly defeated Superman and Wonder Woman, but his spiritual energy. So he immediately began to mobilize the cosmic energy within his body to amplify his mind.

"impossible!"

The Despair Demon, filled with shock and rage, had his chest blackened by the electric shock. He threw a punch at David, who was attacking again, but without the mental impact, how could he possibly overpower David in a contest of pure strength? He was smashed into the vast sea.

Bang!

Like a meteorite thrown into the sea, stirring up waves of millions of tons.

The center of the ocean is concave, and huge circular waves rise tens of meters high, crashing in all directions.

The salty seawater filled his nostrils, and the disheveled Despair Demon became even angrier. He swung his arm, clenched the seawater, and rose into the sky, glaring at David with gritted teeth, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

"I don't believe you can maintain this state indefinitely."

“You’re right, this state certainly can’t last forever, but you can’t hold on until then!”

David landed on the sea surface, absorbing the mass of the surrounding seawater. Drops of seawater rose into the sky as if weightless, followed by a cloud of seawater that blotted out the sun. He stepped on the seawater, and his body grew rapidly.

"You think you're the only one who will grow bigger?"

The Despair Demon roared, its body growing even larger, like a sponge that had absorbed water, resembling a small hill. However, its once human-like features became even uglier and more ferocious, with sharp spikes protruding from its head fins and fangs bursting out of its blood-red mouth, making it look like a bloodthirsty and brutal monster.

The two figures collided again at high speed, and the Despair Demon was sent flying into the sky as if hit by a high-speed train.

"I grow bigger, and you try to grow bigger too, but your strength doesn't seem to increase much."

David unleashed a chain of lightning from his palm, catching up with the Despair Demon and delivering another painful blow.

The Despair Demon possesses the ability to freely adjust its height, weight, and muscle size, but the increase in its strength is clearly not as significant as that of David after absorbing the mass of a million tons of seawater, and it was sent flying even further by a single punch.

During the inverted flight, the wind howled in his ears, and the Despair Demon God was in a state of urgency.

"Not only his mind, but this guy can also amplify his terrifying power, making him even more frightening!"

No, if this continues, he might really lose to this guy.

"Take this! I'll turn you into an idiot, you transcendent!"

Stabilizing his flying body, the Despair Demon roared, his third eye wide open, almost bulging out. All three eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his mental power was concentrated as if it were free, unleashing a full-force attack.

hum!

The invisible and intangible mental shockwave struck David again. David, who was in pursuit, quickly stopped, tilted his head back, and gasped for breath. Combined with the previous attack, his head was throbbing with the pain of waking up from a hangover.

Although it hurts a bit, it doesn't affect anything.

Seeing David stop in mid-air, Despair Demon was overjoyed, but the next second he was incredulous to see David merely shake his head and attack again.

The unprecedented attack that squeezed out mental energy did not severely damage or weaken David's mind, preventing him from freely manipulating energy, just like the effects of a normal mental shock!

However, the Despair Demon no longer had the strength to launch a second attack.

After launching that attack, his spirits instantly sank, and he found it hard to accept the outcome.

call out!

David's figure flew close again like a missile, his iron fist smashing into the Despair Demon's hideous face, twisting his features into a distorted shape, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and even loosening his teeth.

Like being hit hard with a baseball bat, Despair Demon's consciousness became hazy. He had just been sent flying dozens of meters when David's palm, like a black hole, pulled him back with a powerful gravitational pull.

Grabbing his neck, David whispered Shazam.

click!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a water vat, struck down.

Despair Demon screamed in agony, his body turning red with burn marks in some places. He struggled and punched, sending David flying.

He whispered the amplification of the Six Gods' power again, and David charged forward once more.

Having suffered considerable damage from the divine power and lightning, the Despair Demon was powerless to resist and was forced to retreat continuously in mid-air, as if it had been hit by a series of machine gun bullets.

Bang!

Another punch sent the Despair Demon crashing onto the island, his body falling like a meteor and creating a huge crater.

Everyone stared in horror at the Despair Demon lying at the bottom of the pit, as David slowly descended from the sky.

The Despair Demon lay at the bottom of the pit, his face a bloody mess, his body covered in blood, and countless bones broken. He was still trying to get up, and his horrific injuries were visibly healing.

"You have no chance, Despair Demon."

David grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

"I will never die like this."

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Despair Demon, whose pupils moved with difficulty as he looked at the crowd beside him.

He realized that he, who often brought despair to others, might die here today, but before he died, as the supreme god and monarch of Calano, he would make this guy's teammates die with him.

Compared to David's unshakeable spirit, the minds of those who watched him make a fool of himself were like candles that could be extinguished with a single breath, and a single glance from him could unleash a whirlwind that would destroy their minds.

Just as Despair Demon's eyes fell upon them, Green Lantern and the others felt their hair stand on end, a strange sense of suffocation washing over them. Their bodies were frantically warning them, as if something extremely terrifying was about to happen, and their feet involuntarily retreated.

"careful!"

"Don't even think about it."

Although the Despair Demon didn't say it aloud, David could still tell what he was going to do, and inserted two fingers like iron rods into the third eye on the Despair Demon's forehead.

puff!

Blood splattered, the sound of something piercing flesh.

The intense, excruciating pain caused the Despair Demon, who was trying to launch a mental attack, to lose his mind and scream in agony.

"my eyes……"

His third eye was ripped out of its socket while he was still alive, and blood gushed out.

"Don't be afraid, what use are eyes to a dead person?"

Throwing away the bloody eyeballs, David gripped the Despair Demon's head with his iron hands, preventing it from breaking free. His eyes shot out energy rays mixed with lightning, and the terrifying heat incinerated the Despair Demon's remaining two eyes—and then its brain!

Amidst screams, the Despair Demon, his face contorted in agony, stared blankly into a black, burning mark that stretched from his eye sockets all the way to his brain matter.

thump!

David released his grip, and the lifeless body of the Despair Demon slid to the ground.

The terrifying threat of death dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

Just then, a bolt of lightning came from the other side of the sea and landed on the island. The Flash appeared at the entrance of the hall with a father and daughter.

"Who broke the lobby door? Why is everyone outside?"

Behind the group, The Flash waved and scratched his head in confusion.

The group turned around and moved aside. The sudden change in the scene made Jason and his daughter feel very uncomfortable. They shook their heads, and when they saw the tall, dark red corpse lying on the ground, their eyes widened in shock.

"That...that is!"

Chapter 185 I Can Take You Back to the Past

Despair Demon, driven by a sudden wicked idea, wanted to send the Flash back to the Justice League headquarters. To his horror and despair, he discovered that the powerful teammate he sought help from had been taken control of by the suddenly appearing Demon and brought to the Justice League headquarters.

Unfortunately, reality differed from his imagination. He was unable to control everything as he had envisioned and was instead defeated by David, whose brain was vaporized by energy rays.

The Flash explained the situation of the League to Jason and his daughter, suggesting that he might be able to take them to Superman in the League for help. The father and daughter, having no other options, were very grateful for his assistance, and he took Jason and his daughter to the League headquarters.

But something seems to have happened on the island where the Alliance headquarters is located.

The superheroes on this planet turned away, their gazes shifting. Jason would never forget that dark red figure—the one who, with brutal power, enslaved his people.

"That...that's the Demon of Despair?!"

The daughter, Salana, exclaimed in surprise.

The tyrant who violently conquered Calano and struck fear into the hearts of its people lay there, his corpse with its eyes staring blankly at the sky, showing no trace of his former ferocity and tyranny.

"You killed him?"

She covered her mouth in disbelief.
