American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 374 Superpower - Large Homelander

The darkness didn't stop; instead, it began to writhe. Superpower warily watched this unknown object and took a few steps back. He quickly realized his mistake and became enraged.

"What the hell are you?"

As if in response to the question, the writhing darkness quickly transformed into a blurry human figure.

He looked like a high school student, with a slightly immature face, and even his clothes were quite ordinary. He looked like—like any kid you could see on the street, not at all like someone who could kill Night Owl and his massive Claw Legion.

"It's you, Superb." Rune recognized him easily. "A defective product that survives on Kryptonite, a creature that can't break through the Kryptonian nature. Even your anger seems cheap now."

Superb was stunned by Rune's words, but after he came to his senses, he could no longer suppress his anger and was completely enraged by the contempt in the other party's words.

This is the essence of a superpower: an absolute ruler who brooks no questioning or rebuttal, representing unrestrained power, greed, and tyranny. He is driven by primal desires, possesses an insatiable greed for power, and is always self-centered, yet his heart is extremely empty and fragile.

Simply put, this is a larger version of Homelander.

Nevertheless, Rune would never underestimate Hyperbole. Although he was indeed irritable and easily angered, he was still a powerful Kryptonian, and he also possessed a rather formidable magical defense.

Aside from needing to regularly consume kryptonite and yellow sunlight, Superpower has no weaknesses—meaning that all of Rune's preparations against Clark are now useless.

They are about to have a tough battle.

Superpower wants to maintain its rule and kill anyone who dares to threaten it. And what about Rune?

Originally, he only wanted to kill the crime syndicate, but after hearing the descriptions of the world by the clown and Harley Quinn, his anger was ignited. So now Rune's intentions are not simply to kill these few sinners.

Kill all the evildoers and use magic to reshape the world's understanding of good and evil.

This is what Rune wanted to do.

However, it was SuperBeat that launched the first attack.

"Playing tricks!" he roared. This was the first time Superba had ever been so angry since his birth. Before this, all humans had to live humbly under his feet, but now?

He arched his body, and in the next instant, the ruins beneath his feet cracked and collapsed due to the tyrant's immense power. However, Superpower himself did not rush towards Rune immediately, but instead transformed into a red and blue meteor and crashed into the dark clouds of Gotham.

Superpower's actions directly tore open the skies over Gotham.

His speed was increasing rapidly, and the air in front of the Superpower had no time to escape, only to be helplessly compressed by his steel body. But after a loud bang, the sound barrier was broken.

A massive, cone-shaped sonic boom cloud suddenly exploded with the Superpower at its core. The shockwave pushed the rain cloud outwards, and then the Superpower began to make a sharp turn in the air without slowing down at all, rushing straight toward Rune like a spear.

His fists, carrying enough power to shatter mountains, slammed down on Rune.

However, Rune could not do as he wished. The existence of the innocent citizens who remained in the city, as well as the clown and Harley Quinn behind him, prevented him from letting Superman do as he pleased.

therefore----

Rune waved his hands, and the clamor seemed to vanish in that instant.

A blinding white light flashed, and in Superpower's eyes, what lay beneath him was no longer a fragile city made of asphalt and skyscrapers, but rather—these things seemed to defy the laws of physics, the asphalt was flowing like mercury and was swirling upwards, trying to engulf him.

Meanwhile, the surrounding skyscrapers began to fold, twist, and rotate wildly, creating a scene as absurd as a kaleidoscope, but Superpower didn't care.

boom!

Amidst the distortion, he delivered a powerful blow that struck the wall surging towards him head-on, but this time, the force capable of shattering the earth did not bring the expected destruction.

His punch felt like hitting cotton; the wall rippled like water after being hit, and Superman could see some cracks appear, but these tiny cracks healed automatically in the next second.

But his hand was a little sore.

"Welcome to my world, Superpower," Rune's voice was calm. He knew Superpower had extremely high resistance to magic, so he didn't intend to use magic directly against him. Instead, he converted magic into physical attacks, like now—

Rune clasped his hands together, and the twisting skyscraper slammed into the Superpower.

"It's just some magical trick!" Superpower roared, once again blasting with all his might at one of the buildings rushing towards him from the side, while his head turned to the other side, shooting out a blazing beam of light.

But what terrified him was that all his efforts seemed to be in vain. Even the sky had turned into countless mirrors, each reflecting Superpower's face, twisted with rage and fear.

"A magical trick?" Rune raised an eyebrow. "Then let's have a good taste of this so-called trick!"

The next moment, gravity underwent a strange change.

Superpower suddenly realized he was falling, but in the wrong direction. He was falling towards the debris in the sky, and if nothing went wrong, he would crash into the sky in a few seconds.

He could only adjust his flight direction, but just as Superpower was trying to adjust, gravity changed again, and the street became vertical, turning into an invisible shaft in which countless vehicles and objects fell.

"No, no, no, no!" Superpower shouted in terror, and began to fly at full speed, trying to break through the shaft with absolute speed, but all of this was in vain.

Rune hovered in the center of this space, quietly watching Superba go from arrogance to terror, and finally to begging for mercy. It was a little unbearable to see such a big man crying, but Rune, who had already seen what the other party had done, would not let him go because of this.

"Where did your planetary ruler-like charisma go?" Rune asked mockingly.

At this moment, Superba couldn't help but cry out, "No, please, please let me go—"

Superpower also tried to smash the shaft directly, but when he broke through the "wall" and tried to get close to Rune and crush his neck, the world behind the "wall" was another bizarre and physics-defying space.

This is not the result of a single attempt, but the result of every attempt.

Rune moved his fingers slightly, transferring Hyper Bomber to his front. Hyper Bomber then staggered and crawled to Rune's feet.

"Got you?" Superpower looked at Rune coldly, a low smile spreading across his face.
