David found that the Six God Power had a great restraining effect on the ancient demons present, especially Yustu's ability to turn into smoke to evade his attacks. The situation quickly changed.
The divine power lightning struck Yustu, and he could no longer resist David's gravity with his bat wings, being pulled towards him.
Boom!
A blast of air exploded, sweeping across the sky.
People in the city clenched their fists, praying silently as they watched the battle at the volcano, hoping the Transcendent would destroy the demon that caused it!
David's fist, like a meteor from outer space, heavily struck Yustu's chest and abdomen, causing his eyes to bulge and blood to spray from his mouth.
Yustu was terrified. He had never encountered such a powerful man, not even some of the gods he met in ancient times could compare. Without his mist-form ability to evade attacks, he finally clearly understood the ferocious power of David.
Screech!
Grabbing him by the neck, David unleashed lightning from his palm, engulfing Yustu and preventing him from using his abilities to break free or dodge.
"Disperse, scatter!"
Held tightly in a grip like iron pincers, Yustu couldn't break free. He desperately tried to use his powers to disperse his body, but it was futile.
Bang bang bang!
Fists, carrying the force of a planetary collision, landed on Yustu's face one after another, splashing blood.
Just as Yustu was about to lose consciousness from the beating, a torrent of scorching lava suddenly surged forward, its immense impact force, like a breached river, separating the two.
"Let him go!"
The lava, thousands of degrees hot, didn't harm David's body in the slightest. He turned his head and saw Cletus, standing on the magma as if surfing, charging with his blade, trying to rescue Yustu.
"Take me with you, Yustu!"
David's power was so immense that even the hot-tempered Cletus couldn't help but feel a trace of fear. He was the only ancient demon without flight capabilities, and escaping from David relied entirely on Yustu.
At this moment, Cletus abandoned his plan to return the world to a molten state today.
"Where do you think you're going?
None of you are leaving today."
David grabbed the scorching, sharp longsword with one hand. His lightning-wreathed fist slammed into Cletus's chest with brutal force, sending him flying like a meteor through the thick mountainside, crashing into the volcano, and then emerging from the other side.
Boom!
"Wow, this power is too strong, it's beyond my limit..."
With residual lightning on his body, Cletus's mouth dripped with magma-like blood. His expression was one of terror. He could transform others' attacks against him into power, but David's terrifying assault exceeded his limit, almost tearing his body apart.
Freed from David's grip, Yustu didn't even glance at Cletus. With no will left to resist, he turned and tried to escape in panic.
"Shazam!"
Leaving an afterimage, David instantly appeared before him, grabbing his neck again and shouting.
Blinding, thick lightning struck Yustu from the sky. The most powerful move of the Shazam power hit him fiercely. His body was charred black, black smoke rising from his seven orifices, severely wounded.
His iron hand pierced Yustu's chest, which was like broken, scorched wood, shattering his heart.
"Heir to the Wizard's power.
I'll serve you, and with me, you'll learn everyone's secrets."
Having lost his physical body, Yustu screamed ferociously as he tried to escape.
"I'm telling the truth, I can get people's memories and secrets by touching them!
Don't force me, I know yours too!"
Seeing David's eyes grow colder upon hearing this, showing no hesitation, his face changed drastically. Malice surged in his eyes as he shouted to the sky, "Listen, the Transcendent's real name is David..."
Crack!
Lightning tore through the sky. Yustu, who had intended to cause trouble for David even in death, had his soul annihilated before he could finish.
"Now it's your turn!"
David's gaze, like cold lightning, shot towards Cletus, making him tremble. Cletus hurriedly thrust his blade into the volcano. The volcano, which had previously only been bubbling with lava, erupted violently, shooting straight into the sky, threatening to cover the entire city in a downpour of magma.
Rumble rumble!
"Superheroes, go save people slowly!"
The earth shook as Cletus laughed triumphantly, turned, and leaped towards the base of the volcano, intending to escape while David was busy saving people.
However, he clearly didn't understand David's abilities.
Yustu was the most knowledgeable about the current world among the demons, while the violent and arrogant Cletus, who looked down on humans, was the least informed.
"This level is still not enough."
David clenched his hand, and an invisible force restrained the erupting lava, pushing it back into the crater. With terrifying strength, he forcefully choked the erupting power of the volcano.
If it were a supervolcano capable of submerging the globe, he couldn't do anything, but a mere few thousand meters high eruption was not enough to leave him helpless.
"Did you forget about us!"
Clark and Kara both moved to intercept Cletus's escape route, striking him simultaneously with punches that sent him flying back towards the mountaintop before he could even land.
"No..."
His body felt like it was falling through clouds as he was sent flying back. A large hand grabbed his neck from behind, catching him. Cletus's scalp tingled, and he swung his blade backward to strike, but his arm was caught as soon as he raised it.
"Shazam!"
David grabbed him, uttering a low command.
Several bolts of transformation lightning struck, turning Cletus's body into charcoal and killing him outright.
The move that Captain Marvel dared to use only at the most opportune moment, at the risk of death, was unleashed by David as if it were an ordinary technique. Before Cletus's soul could even emerge from his destroyed body, it was completely annihilated by the divine power lightning that struck.
A pungent smell of burnt flesh and sulfur.
David casually tossed the corpse in his hand away.
Unlike the selection of hosts for the Seven Deadly Sins, when the ancient demons possessed these individuals, they had already extinguished their souls. These people were nothing more than living shells, so he didn't hesitate to show any mercy.
"Is it over?"
Clark breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that all three demons had been eliminated by David.
The feeling of losing power always made one uneasy.
As the volcano erupted, everyone in the cities stared in terror, mouths agape, even forgetting to breathe. Fortunately, the Transcendent saved them once again. The deafening battle subsided, and they cheered loudly.
"Why hasn't my power returned yet?"
Those at the foot of the mountain also relaxed. Barry Allen ran several laps around the area, focused, but his speed was like that of an average college student who hadn't exercised in a while. He started to panic; what if he had permanently lost his abilities?
"It should take some time," Hal Jordan said with a bitter expression. "I just don't know how long. What if I'm too weak to even walk for the next few days?"
But no matter what, the crisis was finally resolved.
Kara listened to the sounds of millions of people in the city cheering for the Justice League, her cousin, and David, who had turned the tide. A small portion of them were also cheering and thanking her.
Being a superhero seems pretty good?
As a college student on Krypton, she had never experienced such fervent admiration and cheers.
With the ancient demons dealt with, the mess left by the Wizard was mostly cleaned up.
Finally, the supervolcano left behind by Cletus was subsequently moved by David, along with Clark and Kara, who had quickly recovered their powers after basking in the sun. They jointly relocated it and sank it to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
"Let's go, Kara.
You've just arrived on Earth, so you probably don't have a place to stay yet. Let us show you our home. You can stay there until you find a place you like."
Above the Pacific Ocean, Clark dusted off his hands, a sunny smile on his face as he extended the invitation.
"Can I?"
Kara was a little delighted, but also hesitant, about intruding like this.
"It's fine, you're Clark's cousin, not a stranger," David said with a smile.
Seeing David say that, Kara accepted Clark's invitation, and they went to the small town together. Jonathan and Martha would enthusiastically welcome even a neighbor's visit, let alone Clark's relative from a distant planet. The kind couple quickly put Kara at ease, and she felt the warmth of home.
"Dear Kara, please don't be shy. Make yourself at home here.
After dinner, let David and Clark tidy up the attic room. I hope you like my blueberry pie, though it hardly represents the cuisine of this planet."
At the dinner table, where the family was gathered to entertain Kara, Martha, the mother, placed a steaming blueberry pie in front of her and winked gently and kindly at Kara.
...
"No, no!
I'll blast you all!"
In a cosmic mercenary bar after a night of revelry, a tall, explosively muscled rock-and-roll villain lay on a sofa, reeking of alcohol and smoke. His head, covered in thick, wild hair like a mighty lion's mane, swayed back and forth as he roared.
"Wolf, you're having nightmares again!"
From another sofa, someone groggily holding a bottle of wine slurred, teasing him.
"I hate having dreams."
After a night of heavy drinking, Wolf sat up from the sofa, roughly pushed away a scantily clad barmaid, took out a thick cigar, bit down on it, and lit it. He pinched his temples, annoyed and with a headache.
"It's strange. I've been drinking at this bar for a while, and I've never seen you have a good dream, only nightmares.
Could it be... that a brutal and powerful mercenary in the universe is a coward?"
Laughter erupted from the mercenaries gathered in the bar, all of whom were renowned for their strength across the universe.
"Wolf, tell us how terrifying your dreams are?"
"In my dream, I was surrounded by a thousand enemies, all of them fully armed."
Wolf, with his grayish-blue skin and scarlet eyes, spoke with irritation, slamming his fist on the bar, causing the entire counter to explode.
"I blasted nine hundred and ninety-eight of them with my favorite plasma shotgun, but I couldn't catch the last two. What garbage!"
The sheer force of his rage shook the entire bar. Everyone froze, looking at each other. Some twitched their mouths and let out dry chuckles.
"This... this is your nightmare?"
"Do you guys enjoy dreaming? Unlike reality, you can't just smash someone's head in whenever you want. It's as boring as only being able to drink a barrel of wine a day!"
Wolf, exuding a wild aura, shook his head.
"Every time I find you, you're in some bar reeking of alcohol. When are you going to change your way of celebrating?"
An elegant alien woman with a bestial-looking head slowly walked in, protected by a group of heavily armed alien bodyguards of various appearances.
"Harilia? Seeing you this early in the morning feels like a dream."
Wolf roared with laughter upon seeing his agent, who often introduced him to missions.
"I'm a bit surprised you've learned to insult people indirectly, Rob. I've found you a good job."
Harilia, with her sharp mouth and fangs, chuckled lightly, covering her mouth like a lady.
"I guarantee the reward for this mission is something no mercenary in the universe could refuse, including you, the most powerful mercenary in the universe, Wolf!"
"Speak, who do I need to kill?"
Wolf took a drag from his cigar with a blissful expression, resting his hands behind his head and his feet on the remains of the bar counter. His tone was as casual as asking someone where they planned to have breakfast.
"No killing."
"No killing?" Wolf raised an eyebrow, displeased.
"Someone has posted an unimaginably high bounty to go to a place called Earth in the Milky Way and capture two rare life forms."
Harilia spoke about the mission without hiding it from the others in the tavern, or rather, everyone except Wolf was just a group of insignificant bugs in her eyes.
"How rare?"
Wolf sneered, pointing his thumb arrogantly at himself.
"Speaking of rarity, I should be the number one protected species in the universe. The entire universe should arrange thousands upon thousands of attractive women for me, all eager to breed with me. But unlike those weak and foolish rare races, I achieved my current special status through my own efforts."
The expressions of the other patrons in the tavern shifted. They remembered the legends of this universe's strongest mercenary and dared not even breathe heavily.
The Zarnians were once a powerful cosmic race, possessing not only unparalleled super physiques but also the ability to be immortal, each like a god. This was until Wolf was born on Zarnia. Violence and madness had accompanied him since birth. At seventeen, after countless acts of madness, he finally went insane enough to turn his blade on his own people, slaughtering the entire planet of his immortal kin. This left him as the sole Zarnian remaining in the universe.
No one could imagine the violent and brutal methods he used to ensure his immortal people all perished.
"A Kryptonian orphan."
Harilia extended a finger.
"Kryptonian? My heavens, there are still surviving Kryptonians in the universe at this time? Shouldn't they all have turned into smoke and fireworks in that explosion along with that disgusting planet that looks like a spoiled can of rotten meat?"
Wolf's cigar bit into his mouth, its tip twitching. He lowered his hands from behind his head, and a hint of 'serious' expression finally appeared on his face. His face was filled with madness, like a madman eager to grab a bomb and blow something to ashes. For Wolf, 'madness' was seriousness.
"I haven't tried smashing a Kryptonian's head yet! I wonder if the sound of their bones breaking under my precious chains will be different from other races, perhaps crisper, or maybe more resonant?"
Wolf stroked his chin, contemplating the question like a scholar, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"I hope this last Kryptonian can give me a more wonderful experience than crushing the skulls of the Grantros."
He had shattered the heads of over seventeen thousand intelligent species in the universe, considering himself an impeccable scholar in this regard.
"The focus is on the other person. The client's preference for him surpasses that of the Kryptonian orphan."
Harilia extended another finger, reminding him.
"What?" The universe's most powerful mercenary paused for a moment.
I recommend a book.
At the peak of Qingyun Mountain, the Evergreen Taoist Temple.
Within the temple, a young Taoist travels between two realms.
The immortal realm is mortal, the mortal realm is immortal.
Power, wealth, and lust have all become fleeting.
One mountain, one temple.
One person, one bear, witnessing the human world.
...
The story begins when I dropped out of college and returned home to become a Taoist priest
