American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

Pei Yuan and the ice giant clashed in the air, unleashing destructive power. Their battle grew increasingly fierce, and the scene became more and more spectacular.

Pei Yuan, transformed into a giant dragon, continuously unleashed powerful energy, each attack shattering the ice shield of the snow giant. The snow giant, however, maintained its distance from Pei Yuan with its agility, preventing itself from being completely destroyed by the dragon's power.

Time ticked by, and Pei Yuan felt his strength gradually waning. He knew he couldn't continue like this; he had to end the battle as soon as possible.

He gathered all his strength and launched another fierce attack on the ice giant. This time, he decided to go all out, holding nothing back.

The ice giant sensed Pei Yuan's determination, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. He tried to increase his defensive strength, but Pei Yuan's attack speed was too fast, and he simply couldn't withstand it.

Pei Yuan's dragon claws swept across like a whirlwind, leaving a trail of crisscrossing blade marks. Cracks began to appear on the surface of the ice giant's ice shield, and the ice giant was continuously pushed back.

Finally, Pei Yuan launched his final attack, gathering all his energy in his right claw and slamming it into the ice giant's chest.

With a deafening roar, the ice giant was blasted away by Pei Yuan's attack. His body tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Pei Yuan stood rooted to the spot, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, his chest heaving. He had done his best; now, he only needed to await the final fate of the ice giant.

The ice giant struggled to his feet, his body riddled with wounds, on the verge of collapse. He looked at Pei Yuan with difficulty, his eyes filled with hatred.

It also carried a strong will to die.

Pei Yuan sneered, "Since you want to die, then I'll send you on your way." With that, he moved swiftly and rushed in front of the ice giant.

The ice giant used all its strength to slap Pei Yuan. This slap contained the power of the ice giant's entire body, and it was clear that the temperature around its palm dropped rapidly, freezing even the surrounding trees and flowers, and even solidifying the air.

However, after his palm landed on Pei Yuan's chest, it disappeared without a sound, as if a stone had sunk into the sea. Pei Yuan did not move an inch.

The ice giant's expression changed drastically, but Pei Yuan seized the opportunity and slashed down with his dragon claw. The ice giant had no time to block and could only raise its left hand with all its might to withstand the blow.

With a muffled "crack!", Pei Yuan's dragon claw had severed one of the ice giant's arms. Pressing his advantage, the dragon Pei Yuan kicked the ice giant in the chest once more.

"Wow!" The ice giant coughed up blood and flew out, leaving a trail of blood in the air before falling into the lake.

"Splash!" The ice giant struggled to emerge from the lake, his body covered in mud.

The ice giant wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed fiercely on Pei Yuan. He didn't speak, but silently picked up the weapon from the ground and slowly approached Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan grinned, revealing two rows of white fangs. He licked his lips and then slowly extended his right claw.

"Roar!" The ice giant roared and pounced on Pei Yuan again. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he arrived in front of Pei Yuan in the blink of an eye. The ice giant's arm instantly grew thicker and larger, and he punched Pei Yuan in the abdomen.

However, this time the ice giant miscalculated. Pei Yuan's mouth suddenly opened, and a burst of scorching flames instantly erupted from it. The ice giant's movements came to an abrupt halt. Pei Yuan's mouth suddenly opened, and a burst of scorching flames instantly erupted from it, engulfing the ice giant's arms and chest.

The ice giant let out a chilling howl, its scream echoing throughout the valley. Wherever the flames touched, the ice giant's skin instantly melted, and his bones began to turn crimson, emitting a roaring sound.

A painful groan escaped the ice giant's throat as he desperately clutched his burning body with his other hand, trying to extinguish the relentless flames. But no matter how hard he tried, the flames grew ever more intense, as if possessing inexhaustible power.

Pei Yuan stood rooted to the spot, his gaze cold and indifferent as he watched everything unfold. A cruel light flickered in his dragon eyes, as if mocking the ice giant's despair. His claws gripped the ground tightly, poised to strike at any moment.

Finally, the ice giant could no longer endure the endless pain and burning. His body began to melt rapidly, turning into a pool of boiling water. With only a mournful cry, the ice giant vanished completely.

Pei Yuan slowly withdrew the flames, his body gradually returning to calm. He glanced around and saw that the valley had been completely burned down by his flames, leaving only scorched earth and smoky, acrid smells.

He took a deep breath, savoring the joy of victory. He had finally won the battle. His body felt extremely exhausted, but his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride.

Pei Yuan turned to leave, but at that moment, something strange happened.

A series of cracking sounds came from all directions, and Pei Yuan looked up. Around him, ice walls appeared, enveloping him.

A phantom figure appeared outside the ice wall. His appearance was blurry, and it seemed that there was only an outline.

"This is... a spiritual entity?" Pei Yuan asked in confusion.

The phantom on the ice wall shook its head and said calmly, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, you did kill my companion."

"Companion?" Pei Yuan frowned slightly. "You attacked me just now, so aren't you an enemy?"

The phantom on the ice wall pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, we are enemies. Therefore, you should pay the price for this."

"Oh? What's the price?" Pei Yuan asked with great interest.

"What goes around comes around, and retribution is inevitable. Today, I will seek justice for him."

"Karma is inevitable?" Pei Yuan laughed heartily. "Your reasoning is quite peculiar."

The phantom on the ice wall sighed, "You would never understand." He swung his fist and threw a punch at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan met him head-on without any hesitation. Their fists collided, making a "bang" sound.

Pei Yuan felt a sharp pain in his wrist, his arm almost dislocated. In contrast, the illusory figure on the ice wall was unharmed.

"It seems I really underestimated you." Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he could devour everything.

The phantom on the ice wall paused for a moment, then cried out in horror, "You can't...you can't possibly have such a powerful body!"

Pei Yuan snorted coldly: "I told you long ago that I am a superhuman. Do you think you can kill me with your power?"

The phantom on the ice wall stared in shock, its eyes wide: "A superhuman? Impossible! Superhumans wouldn't possess such a powerful physique. This is not scientific!"

"What science is there in this world?" Pei Yuan scoffed. "You only know that my strength is relatively weak, but you don't know that my strength is not limited to this." He paused, then said with an air of authority, "If you are willing to submit to me, perhaps I can let you live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Pei Yuan's words caused the illusory figure on the ice wall to hesitate. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe you can control me."

"Don't believe me?" Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then, try it."

The phantom on the ice wall suddenly roared, its icy power surging and transforming into an ice sword that pierced straight towards Pei Yuan.

"A mere trick." Pei Yuan curled his lip in disdain, then uttered a low shout: "Flame!"

The flames around Pei Yuan instantly surged several hundred times, forming an incomparably scorching inferno that swept towards the ice sword. The flames shattered the ice sword with a deafening roar. The flames enveloped Pei Yuan's fist, making him resemble a raging fiery beast.

Pei Yuan's fist, imbued with all his power, slammed into the phantom on the ice wall. Powerful flames instantly engulfed the phantom's body, emitting a chilling burning sound.

The phantom let out a painful howl as its body was scorched by the flames, turning into a burning ice crystal. It struggled in agony, trying to escape the flames, but to no avail. The flames were like an invisible net, binding it tightly.

Pei Yuan's eyes were cold, devoid of any pity. He stared at the illusory figure enveloped in flames and said coldly, "No matter how powerful you are, you cannot withstand my flames. Your ice wall is merely my plaything, while I am the master of this valley."

Flames roared, completely enveloping the phantom. The blazing flames, like a ferocious beast, roared and danced wildly. Its tongue licked the phantom's skin, melting the cold ice crystals into a pool of scalding steam.

The phantom writhed in agony, struggling but unable to escape the flames' hold. The flames were too powerful, trapping the phantom and preventing him from breaking free.

Pei Yuan's gaze was cold and indifferent. He stood beside the flames, quietly watching the phantom's painful struggle.

Suddenly, Pei Yuan felt a chill creep up his spine and spread throughout his body, making his hair stand on end. He instinctively turned his head and saw two people standing in front of the ice wall not far away.

They all wore frost crowns and ice-blue robes, their expressions cold and stern. One of them pointed a finger at Pei Yuan. In an instant, the flames on Pei Yuan's body vanished completely, and his body froze into ice.

Pei Yuan struggled to open his eyes, only to find his body frozen in mid-air, completely unable to move. Not far from him, the frozen phantom slowly thawed, regaining its mobility.

The phantom walked to the other side of the ice wall and then knelt there.

Pei Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. He tried to shout, but no sound came out at all.

Standing before him was a tall, robust man. He was a strong, dark-skinned man.

The burly man's face was sharply defined, revealing resolute and unyielding lines. He had broad shoulders, a rugged chest, a wide forehead, and a thick beard. His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, filled with a chilling killing intent.

The burly man stared down at Pei Yuan, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Pei Yuan knew something was wrong and was about to fight back when a blade was placed against his neck.

"Don't move, or I won't hesitate to slash your face with a knife," the burly man said coldly.

Pei Yuan shut his mouth and made no unnecessary movements.

The burly man snorted coldly, sheathed his blade, and then ordered the phantom on the ice wall, "Throw this kid in here for me to take a bath."

The phantom on the ice wall respectfully agreed, then grabbed Pei Yuan and threw him into the icy river.

As soon as Pei Yuan fell into the water, he was frozen solid.

The burly man didn't even glance at Pei Yuan in the icy river, and turned to leave. He walked quickly, and soon disappeared completely from Pei Yuan's sight.

Pei Yuan slowly climbed out of the icy river, looked around at his surroundings, and then gazed in the direction where the burly man had disappeared.

In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​catching up with the other person.

"Let's not complicate things further..." Pei Yuan muttered to himself, "After all, finding my father's remains is more important..."

He turned around and continued deeper into the forest.

Along the way, he encountered several groups of humans who seemed to be searching for something. However, Pei Yuan ignored them and walked straight past them into the deeper part of the journey.

There was nothing but trees and bushes here. Pei Yuan walked for a while, then suddenly stopped.

Because, within his line of sight, an igloo appeared.

The igloo sits atop an ice sphere, surrounded by a vast expanse of white ice, with only one door for passage.

"Why is there an igloo here?" Pei Yuan frowned, then pushed open the door of the igloo and went inside.

The igloo was simply furnished with only a bed, a table, and an oil lamp.

The oil lamp was lit, illuminating the room. Although the room was simple, it was very clean and even exuded a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Strange, why would there be an igloo here?" Pei Yuan pondered, stroking his chin. "Could it be that these were built by those humans?"

Pei Huan ignored the igloo and continued walking forward. Based on his intuition, he felt that the military soldiers behind him should be finding him soon.

Sure enough, several hurried footsteps came from behind a tree not far ahead, and then a group of fully armed soldiers ran out.

"He's here!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Several people immediately gave chase. Pei Yuan rolled his eyes when he saw them.

It turned out to be a group of well-trained soldiers; no wonder they were able to locate him so quickly.

Pei Yuan quickened his pace, preparing to flee. However, several people had already caught up with him.
