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

"No, you can't...!"

Before Captain Atom could finish speaking, David's fist, which had shattered the mountain peak, slammed into his chest and abdomen, causing him to arch his body and painfully swallow the rest of his words.

Bang bang bang!

The repeated attacks shattered Captain Atom's chest once more. If it weren't for the fact that his reconstructed body was free of blood, he would have been coughing up blood due to his terrible injuries.

"Releasing an uncontrolled flood can destroy everything, but over time it will also breach the dam. Trying to stop the flood and then pull it back in is not an easy task. How much strength do you have left?"

Holding Captain Atom in mid-air, David's eyes swept over his shimmering silver body.

Captain Atom's attack was incredibly powerful, but it was also almost his entire power. He doesn't have much strength left, and his body, connected to the quantum field, is on the verge of collapse.

"If I die, there will be a huge explosion immediately!"

Captain Atom said with difficulty.

A powerful light flashed in his chest, an extremely intense and dangerous light that seemed capable of melting everything, dazzling enough to shine through his metallic body.

"At least several hundred cities around will be razed to the ground, and your teammates won't survive either!"

David knew he wasn't exaggerating.

In the comics, Captain Atom's explosion scenes unfold repeatedly. He is portrayed as godlike, but he is also very fragile, exploding whenever he suffers an attack or even a skin tear. He is also jokingly called the self-destructing captain.

"I don't intend to kill you here!"

With his chest injury almost healed and his body stronger, David held tightly to Captain Atom, who was unable to break free, and with the help of the gravity slingshot, he looked up and flew rapidly into the sky.

Everyone watched in astonishment as David, with a gaping hole in his chest, calmly grabbed Captain Atom, recovered, and flew into the sky.

"He has this ability?"

The Green Lanterns looked at Clark, who was closest to David.

"maybe."

Clark scratched his head, unsure whether David had always possessed this ability or if it was a newly developed one.

"No one had ever been able to hurt him to this extent before, so no one knew he possessed the ability to be immortal."

Batman gazed at the sky.

The others nodded in agreement. Let alone a gaping hole in the chest, there were very few people who could even injure a Transcendent in the past.

"Do not……"

Major Shenli swallowed hard.

The Beyonder didn't die, but Captain Atom, who had expended too much power, is in a bad situation. What should we do?

He turned to run away, completely forgetting about the task force's mission; survival was all he wanted.

"I've heard that the Beyonder has never shown mercy. After he killed Captain Atom, it's my turn next!"

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he turned around, only to find Batman blocking his path, his voice icy.

"Where do you want to go, Major Divine Strength?"

Clark and others also blocked the way from all directions.

In space, David had barely left Earth when the light flashing on Captain Atom's chest began to flicker more rapidly.

"This position is almost there."

Tens of thousands of miles above Earth, Captain Atom's expression was resolute as he grabbed David's arm with both hands without hesitation.

Are you deliberately causing your body to break down?

It was as if David was looking through a thin sheet of paper at a giant furnace about to explode, the astonishing heat hitting him head-on. David raised an eyebrow.

Having just left Earth, and before he could even continue attacking Captain Atom, his body shouldn't have collapsed so quickly. There's only one explanation: he stopped trying to maintain his crumbling body and unleashed his most famous move—self-destruction!

"Will you go easy on me, Transcendence?"

My death is inevitable, and before I die, I will eliminate you, the greatest destabilizing factor that will threaten the White House in the future!

Captain Atom's expression turned fierce.

The Beyonder, in front of a global audience, crossed legal boundaries without hesitation to kill Luther. Very few supervillains who fall on his hands survive.

The psychological profile conducted by the president's hired counselor concluded that he was a cold-blooded criminal who had no respect for the law or the government.

The president has issued arrest warrants for him and the Justice League. After today, the Beyonders will surely retaliate against the White House.

"Your situation doesn't allow me to show mercy."

Captain Atom is incredibly difficult to deal with. He has unlimited energy at his disposal, and even if he could still move a single finger, he could easily shatter an island, posing a significant threat to David.

Therefore, David had no choice but to kill him.

"Unfortunately, your remaining strength is insufficient to capture me."

David shook off Captain Atom's arms with a sudden movement.

The extremely weakened Captain Atom no longer had the strength to grab him, so the fist slammed into Captain Atom's face, sending him flying.

"Let's go to another world together, Transcendent One!"

As it flew backward like a streak of light, Captain Atom laughed fiercely and opened his arms wide. His silver chest was as red as if it had been burned, like a brilliant star breaking free of the tin can that had bound it. Then came the unparalleled explosion!

It resembled the scene at the very beginning of the universe's birth, with an overwhelming white light annihilating and swallowing everything.

"Truly loyal!"

David, who had only flown a short distance, looked back with a grim expression, only to be engulfed by white light the next second.

On Earth, the entire hemisphere saw a white, intense light that outshone the sun. Cities were thrown into chaos, and many people who looked directly at the light experienced temporary blindness, plunging the world into darkness.

"I can't see anymore, my eyes!"

"what is that!"

"Does God intend to purify the world once again?!"

"Oh my god, help!"

On the high seas, the group worked together to defeat Major Superior, who was desperately trying to escape, and severely injured him. Batman grabbed his arms and subdued him. Clark turned his head to look at the sky under the bright light.

No, we're too close!

He understood David's thoughts and style of doing things. Apart from dealing with Kryptonians, the enemies that David usually captured and took to space were thrown into the sun. Why was he so close this time?

Clark flew rapidly into the sky.

In space, within tens of thousands of miles of the explosion, floating meteorites were swept away, and a mangled body opened its eyes, its gaze cold as it looked toward the location of Captain Atom's explosion.

Although losing a head is a minor injury for someone with immortality, David's killing intent toward Captain Atom inevitably surged.

Unfortunately, Captain Atom was already dead, so he didn't have the chance to kill him again.

"It's all thanks to Hyperion's immortality, otherwise we would be in danger today."

David let out a low shout of Shazam, and lightning struck down, accelerating his healing process. He was also covered in a purple cloak and battle armor.

He had only possessed this immortality ability for a few days, and today's situation was indeed quite dangerous.

However, although Captain Atom is dead, this matter is not over. Captain Atom was just a knife in someone's hand.

"White House……"

David murmured.

[Template integration is 96% complete]

Suddenly, the template fusion rate increased dramatically, and he remembered the explosion of light from earlier.

"Did Captain Atom's self-destruction, in an attempt to take me down with him, cause a huge panic on Earth?"

It's already 96% complete, so it looks like the next template will be ready soon.

I was woken up at 3 a.m. by a wedding in the neighborhood. The noise lasted until 5 or 6 a.m. Plus, I did a lot of work in the yard at my grandparents' house yesterday, so I was really tired and slept until 5 or 6 p.m. I got up a little late today, sorry.

Chapter 201 The Power of the Phoenix

Halfway there, Clark, who had flown off Earth out of worry, was relieved to see David unharmed.

"Are you alright, David?"

That explosion really scared me!

He still asked with lingering fear, looking toward the direction of Captain Atom's explosion.

His super vision allows him to see the massive energy trails left between planets, like an exploding nebula sweeping across thousands of miles.

"If it exploded on Earth, it wouldn't be impossible for the North American continent to be blown to pieces."

"Don't worry, killing me won't be that easy."

David and Clark returned to the original location of the Justice League headquarters.

The island, which turned into lava, sank into the sea.

"The headquarters has been destroyed."
