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

He killed countless dead soldiers and also consumed a lot of energy.

“Our energy and strength are limited, but these undead seem to have unlimited power.” Cyborg’s face was grim.

"Flash, how are things going on your end?"

Batman connects to the communication channel.

"Almost done. I've almost cleared out the mummies in this port." On the other end of the communication channel, the fastest Flash was assigned to deal with the army of the dead who had landed in the city to prevent more people from being harmed.

"I'm leaving this place to you. We're going to support Beyonders and Superman."

Batman looked towards Paradise Island.

"What? I can't handle this all by myself!"

In the street, Flash's face turned grim as he punched a dead soldier several times.

Although he is fast, his body is not made of iron.

With Batman and his crew withdrawing, it meant that he alone could hold off the overwhelming army.

"We have to hold on, even if we can't. That side is more important. We must nip this tide of the dead in the bud."

Batman spoke solemnly, urging everyone to prepare to depart, bypass the army, and support David and Clark.

He knew nothing about magic and gods, and neither did the others; they had no experience in these areas.

Last time, the ancient demon stripped everyone of their power with a single spell, causing the League to suffer a great loss. If it weren't for him and Green Lantern still having the power to hold on for a while, and the arrival of the Superman and the Beyonder to provide support, everyone else would have died there.

"This time it's the legendary Hades, and it might be even more terrifying than last time."

But there was no other way. The Transcendent had not yet dealt with Hades, and the situation seemed dire.

The bats and their crew headed towards Paradise Island.

……

"What the hell are you?"

Above Paradise Island, Hades, though powerful, was not inexhaustible. After a long battle, his power began to wane.

David was in the same situation; his cosmic energy was also limited. Hades, in order to quickly subdue the mortals he despised and maintain the dignity of Hades, launched a ferocious and intense offensive that left people breathless.

His response only exacerbated the depletion of his strength.

"Why, why aren't you dead yet?"

Hades was shocked. He then unleashed another extremely concentrated beam of deathly divine power from his fingertip, striking David. However, David managed to shatter the divine power with a powerful punch.

"The death power I injected into your body is enough to turn this vast ocean into a dead land, leaving no living beings, yet you are still alive."

Even my younger brother couldn't possibly ignore my divine power!

Bang!

The next second, Hades was sent flying hundreds of meters away by David's punch, who had charged towards him despite Hades's attack. He steadied himself, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and looked at David with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

David initially overpowered him, and although he felt somewhat humiliated by his divine status, he didn't think it was a big deal, because the greatest strength of a god lies not in the physical body, but in divine power.

His power of death is the most destructive.

But what happened next quickly exceeded his expectations!

Chapter 194 The Cosmic Death Messenger

During the battle, Hades's death power easily overwhelmed David's thunder, and wave after wave of attacks struck his body. The terrifying and vicious divine power burrowed into his flesh like a leech.

At first, David seemed fine, and Hades didn't take it seriously, as this mortal's body was even stronger than his divine body.

But gradually, as the battle raged on, the death power accumulated within David reached a terrifying level, yet he showed no signs of discomfort, which Hades found unbelievable.

"You should have been tortured into a dried-up corpse by my divine power long ago, experiencing the ultimate fear and despair, and kneeling down to beg me for your release!"

In mid-air, he was unable to withstand David's fierce attacks and was forced to retreat continuously.

“I have indeed felt your divine power.”

David's expression was cold, and his iron fists attacked like meteorites.

He was able to deflect enemy attacks in the past thanks to his energy manipulation.

However, as the enemies he faced grew stronger, even a casual attack from them could exceed the energy absorption limit in a short period of time.

Especially today, facing Hades' divine power, which is ten times more vicious than the divine power of Ares, the god of war, it is like the raging Styx, with an incomparable corrosive power.

"Compared to converting other energies, which is as easy as eating and drinking, converting Hades' divine power is like pouring a bottle of disinfectant down your stomach."

David punched Hades deep into the ground, causing the entire Paradise Island to tremble violently and appear to be shattered into pieces by the blow.

"For some reason, after your divine power entered my body, it did not cause much damage. It seems to be very compatible with my body."

"Compatibility? Mortal, what are you talking about?"

Forced into the previously appeared crypt, Hades rose in shock and anger. That was his divine power, the power of the King of the Underworld, how could it resonate with a mortal?

Moreover, the divine power he manipulated under his strong will was unwilling to attack a mortal, which means that this mortal was more suitable to be the ruler of the underworld than him.

Although Hades always considered the position his brother had forced upon him a disgrace, he could not accept that someone else deserved his last remaining authority better than him, and that this person was a mortal he had never even heard of.

"You find it hard to accept? This universe is vast, and you are just one of the Old Gods."

Hovering in mid-air, looking down at Hades in the underground cave, with the dazzling sun hanging behind him, David's eyes shot out scorching atomic energy rays, impacting and cutting into Hades' body.

Don't think of yourself as something special.

Hyperion's signature ability is to emit terrifyingly hot, cutting beams of light from his eyes, called atomic rays. He gained this ability after his fusion level exceeded 65%.

With the release of superimposed cosmic energy, David's eye-ray attacks became even more powerful.

At first, when he felt Hades' divine power enter his body, he was somewhat worried. During the battle, he kept his attention on the situation inside his body, trying to expel the overwhelming power of death.

But as he gradually realized that Hades's strongest divine power could not harm him, he no longer needed to conserve his energy as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I do not believe!"

With his arms shielding his eyes from the heat, Hades abandoned his divine demeanor and braced himself against the attack. Like a sinister and volatile bat, he pounced once more, unleashing his deathly power as if it were free.

This time, David simply stopped defending and directly exchanged blows with the ancient Hades. He was actually happy to see Hades do this.

Suspended below the cavern, David withstood Hades's furious attacks without retreating a single step. Hades's deathly power seemed like an illusion of light, and David was blasted back, coughing up blood as the shockwaves rippled through him.

hum!

Another heat ray struck, and Hades was blasted dozens of meters into the ground by the powerful impact, revealing a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest. He was painfully pushed toward the Gates of Hell, the place where he had previously escaped.

Hippolyta, whose body was entirely composed of stone from the neck down, stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

"He's even stronger now!"

It had only been a short time since they last met, almost a few days in the context of her lifespan of thousands of years, but David's strength had increased several times over.

Even... even directly suppress Hades, the god of the underworld!

To be honest, David completely failed to grasp Hades' greatest strength. This battle was unfair to the ancient god of the underworld, but there is no truly fair battle in the world.

As for why he was unharmed by Hades's death power, David, whose eyes were constantly emitting rays, had a glimmer of understanding.

"It should still be the Thanos template at work."

"In the Marvel multiverse, Thanos is a natural-born death messenger, a link in maintaining the balance between life and death in the universe. As a death messenger, Thanos's role is to bring death to life, which is the embodiment of the rules of the multiverse."

Thanos's mother went mad and tried to kill the infant Thanos at birth because she saw 'death' in his eyes. From a young age, 'death' was always by Thanos's side, guiding him to become a messenger of death.

Although the title "Messenger of Death" doesn't sound as imposing as "King of the Underworld."

"But Hades is just an ancient god on Earth, and his power is only so-so. 'Death' is one of the five primordial gods of the Marvel multiverse."

As her messenger, Thanos's potential and status far surpass Hades', and his affinity for the power of death is unmatched by Hades.

In the last battle against Brainiac, David's potential as a Thanos template was partially unleashed, unexpectedly giving him his current abilities.

"The threat of immune death!"

"Even if you don't know why my divine power has no effect on you, mortal, don't even think about killing me."

Covered in wounds, including severe burns from lightning that exposed bone, Hades rose from the ashes after being blasted away. A gray-green light shone as the power of death instantly intertwined and repaired his body.

He sneered and roared.

"Tell me, how do you plan to kill a Grim Reaper?"

David, whose body was crackling with lightning, frowned slightly and honestly admitted it.

"I must admit, your divine power cannot harm me, but I cannot kill you either."

He realized that he did not have such means. During his battle with Hades, he also realized that Hades was different from Ares and other gods. He was the god who controlled death.

Killing him is more difficult than killing other gods, and the power of death is extremely difficult to convert into energy through his ability to manipulate energy, making it impossible to form a decent attack.

"So, I have no choice but to send you back to hell!"

A smile appeared on his lips.
