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

After all, Clark wasn't from Earth; she had heard stories of the bewilderment and fear she felt when she discovered she was different from others on Earth.

But Kara also knew that she hadn't even asked Clark if he was willing, which was undoubtedly selfish of her; she only wanted to see her parents again.

"I can leave the moment I get the crystal."

But I don't think I need to leave like a thief.

Haier coldly rejected Kara's suggestion.

He hadn't taught David a lesson yet, and his desire to take action only intensified after Clark arrived.

"Kara, the crystal is yours. Protect it; it's the only hope to save Krypton!"

After handing the crystal to Kara, Hale looked at David and Clark and sneered.

"Come at me all at once, Beyonders, Supermen, the great superheroes of Earth."

He emphasized the syllables in the names Superman and Beyonder.

Clark was already furious when Khalid said he didn't deserve the name El. After Kara struggled and stepped aside, he threw a punch and attacked.

"too slow."

Hale easily dodged Clark's attack by tilting his head. The missed punch shattered the air, clearing away the blizzard hundreds of meters behind Hale. The punch that missed was undoubtedly a clear indication of its effectiveness.

"When?"

Clark was shocked, unable to believe how fast Hale was moving.

He didn't make a move until he was right in front of Haier, as if he hadn't reacted at all. But when his fist came down, Haier, who had his arms crossed, turned his head and dodged the attack at a speed that Haier couldn't react to.

Bang!

When Haer made his move, although a tremendous repulsive force was generated from Clark's body in an instant, enough to push the mountain away, he still broke through the barrier and punched Clark hard in the abdomen, sending him flying.

David caught the flying Clark with a grim expression. Clark knelt on the ground, coughing up blood in pain, staining the cold ground red, and was extremely shocked.

"I have never been attacked so powerfully, David, be careful."

His intestines felt as if they had been shattered; he was so struck that he couldn't stand up.

"He is even more powerful than Zod!"

Isn't Hael a student of his father? Why is he more powerful than Krypton's military leader?

"I know."

Looking at Hail, David's face darkened. He patted Hail on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Even a young Superman was powerless against the super Kryptonian Hale, let alone Clark, who has just come of age.

To be honest, however, the creature before him was even more powerful than he had anticipated.

"Is it your turn?"

I'm curious how many punches you can take from me.

Hai'er crossed his arms, his feet dangling in mid-air, exuding an aloof arrogance that seemed to look down on everything.

“Unlike Kal-El, you don’t have the blood of the El family flowing through your veins, nor are you a Kryptonian.”

Killing you would be a completely guilt-free experience!

"Let's talk about it when you can do it!"

A rippled purple light emanated from his body, making him resemble a human-shaped star. David vanished from his spot in a flash and appeared before Hale at lightning speed.

With a disdainful air, Haier raised one hand to block his attack, but the next second a powerful force jolted his body, almost causing him to miss.

He realized he had underestimated this guy. His expression changed drastically, but faced with David's relentless attacks that gave him no chance to breathe, it was too late to raise his other hand again.

"You are not qualified to be arrogant in front of me."

He had only raised it halfway when David's other fist struck him violently in the face, sending him flying.

As Haer flew backward with a whooshing sound in his ears, he adjusted his body in mid-air and saw an iron fist rapidly enlarging in his eyes. He hurriedly put up a psychic barrier in front of him, but the psychic barrier that could withstand a nuclear explosion shattered like brittle glass in an instant.

In that brief moment of struggle, he blocked David's fist, clenched it tightly, and stared intently into David's eyes with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"You've become stronger, in just these last few days!"

Do you think you know me well?

David shook off Hale's hand, and with a shriek, his hand cleaver tore through the air, aiming for Hale's neck.

Even so, the outcome will not change.

David displayed power and speed that were almost on par with his, so Hale no longer relied on teleporting to dodge. Instead, his eyes shot out thick, hot gazes that pierced through the sky.

The terrifying heat caused the Arctic, which is usually frozen, to heat up rapidly, and the ice and snow melted into water and then evaporated instantly.

Rumble!

David raised his arms to block, a burning pain shooting through them. The powerful impact carved two deep trenches into the ground as he turned to avoid the intense heat. In the distance, an iceberg was blasted open and vaporized. Unfazed, he threw another punch at Haer.

Haer's strength was indeed terrifying; she broke through several of his defenses almost instantly, including his ability to manipulate energy to absorb the power of a nuclear explosion, as well as his own physical defenses.

Fortunately, the injuries were not serious; David only had burn marks on his arms.

Why don't you stop messing around with your shoddy heat-sensing lens?

Seeing David injured, Hale sneered.

He was born on Krypton and has an immense sense of belonging and pride in Krypton.

David's ability to emit energy from his eyes is very similar to the Kryptonians' heat vision, but in his view it is nothing more than a poor imitation.

The two men clashed, sending out shockwaves that swept across hundreds of miles. Deafening airbursts echoed over the Arctic, and Arctic animals looked up in terror at the center circle before turning and fleeing, as if two terrifying beasts capable of destroying the world were fighting there.

David didn't say anything, but punched Hail hard, making his head snap back.

"Your power is increasing?"

Haier touched his sore and aching nose, his gaze fierce.

Their speed has increased again, and they are now almost on par with him.

You guessed right, but there's no reward.

David's fists were as fast as lightning, carrying a force that seemed capable of shattering planets. His attacks were fierce and relentless, forcing Haier to abandon any sense of ease or arrogance and to concentrate fully on responding.

If we are not prepared, we may suffer a heavy blow.

A few more days passed, and Hyperion's fusion level increased slightly.

"Although it did not grant me any new abilities, I have become more proficient in using the ability to consume cosmic energy to enhance myself."

Just like when he dealt with the Despair Demon, the difference is that David is consuming the vast cosmic energy within his body to enhance his physical body, speed, strength, and reaction time.

Superman and Kara on the ground watched the two fighting in the sky with shock and worry.

Wherever the two went, they created air explosions that churned the atmosphere and shattered distant icebergs, their presence terrifying.

They asked themselves if they were facing such an attack, they probably wouldn't last even a second and would risk being killed.

This only increased their anxiety.

Clark was worried about David, while Kara was worried about both Hail and David. She clenched her fists and stared intently at the two men's fight.

She just wanted to go home, but didn't want anyone to get hurt or even lose their life in the process.

David and Hale both possess super brains; martial arts are something they can learn in an instant.

"You are no match for me. You have no idea what kind of suffering I have endured!"

A fist powerful enough to flatten a mountain slammed into David like a meteor, and Hail roared angrily.

At this moment, the battle between the two was a purely primal and ferocious clash of strength and speed.

“If you truly believed this, you wouldn’t say it in this tone.”

David accepted the blow expressionlessly, then swung his elbow at the man's head.

The two fought with all their might, no longer using gravity or telekinesis to distract them and slow down their attacks. Their most thrilling battle resembled two shooting stars colliding repeatedly with explosions of energy.

Even before obtaining the Hyperion template, David possessed a vast amount of cosmic energy within him. After gaining the ability to consume cosmic energy to empower his body and mind, he essentially obtained a key that allowed him to do much more than just what Hyperion could do.

Compared to directly empowering the physical body, consuming cosmic energy to bless the ethereal mind is undoubtedly less taxing and more effective.

At this moment, the cosmic energy within David's body was burning like a supernova, his momentum growing stronger and stronger, and his power slowly but steadily increasing.

Why hasn't his power continued to grow?

His eyes flashed with alarm.

Unlike David, who had fought countless battles and defeated numerous powerful enemies, he had no experience in life-or-death combat. David seemed like a surging wave that was about to engulf him, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"There's no need. I don't need to waste my time with him at all!"

David's strength increased slowly but steadily, each punch like a tidal wave that could shatter rocks, making half of his body numb, and his eyes flashed rapidly.
