Chapter 180: Why is this guy so strong? (4k)
Ryan and the others looked at Clark, their eyes filled with hatred.
They also hated David, who was with Clark, their priority target for this mission.
"Kryptonian, Earthling, lest you don't know who you've been defeated by today."
Flying in the air, Ryan's skin was a deathly pale gray. She looked at the two like a soulless god of death.
"Let me tell you in advance, we are the killers created by Kryptonians.
They each took the embryos of powerful races from different universes, carrying out multiple genetic modifications, pouring in ambition and madness, and creating us beyond recognition!"
A mocking sneer curled her lips.
Fate was so miraculous that it happened to be them who would end the last free Kryptonian.
"Our purpose in being created is to complete dangerous missions that even you Kryptonians cannot accomplish."
Clark's expression froze.
He thought these people were naturally this way, but they were products of genetic experiments?
"I don't intend to argue about the sins of some Kryptonians."
He fell silent, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice, "But Brainiac is the number one madman in the universe. He has destroyed countless worlds. Are you sure you want to help him?"
Having learned their origins, David's expression shifted.
It was not surprising that they were products of Kryptonian biotechnology. Doomsday, who was hundreds of times more terrifying than these four, with infinite evolution and regeneration abilities, was also a product of Kryptonian biotechnology.
An impeccable ultimate biological weapon of the universe, its only flaw was its uncontrollability.
"It was Master who gave us the chance to open our eyes and see this world."
Parrellus swung its tentacles. The tentacles, adorned with tail stingers, seemed to extend infinitely as they attacked Clark. The Kryptonite bracers it wore radiated energy that enveloped Clark, causing him to sway precariously in mid-air.
"Master awakened us from our slumber, optimized our genes, and made us stronger.
We are willing to give our lives to repay his will."
His body weakened, Clark's steel physique rapidly deteriorated. The sharp poisonous needle lunged towards him. He desperately tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the four, as if they could already see the Kryptonian in agony, begging for mercy under the torment of the poison.
Swish!
In a flash of lightning, David calmly raised his palm, manipulating gravity, and pulled Clark, who was about to be pierced in the chest by the poisonous needle, behind him, thwarting their plans.
"Get behind me, Clark!"
He flew into the air, a dangerous purple light flashing in his eyes, lightning crackling around him. The gravity of the surrounding moon began to churn and destabilize.
"Since you are loyal to Brainiac with all your heart, there's nothing more to say."
The bodies of the four suddenly felt heavy, as if a great mountain was pressing down on their backs.
"I think Brainiac must have assigned you the mop-up work."
David shot energy beams from his eyes, capable of destroying everything, sweeping across.
His body's instinct for danger flared. The four hurriedly retreated to dodge.
"You should have hidden deeper."
He gathered a spear of lightning in his hand and, like a god punishing the world, threw it coldly.
Boom!
The lightning exploded, engulfing a wide area, annihilating everything it touched.
"The energy contained within him is more terrifying than mine."
Nearly engulfed by the lightning, feeling that terrifying power, Flower of Paradise retreated rapidly in the air, her face filled with shock.
"Did he not use his true strength when dealing with Wolf earlier?"
Ryan frowned. She swung her broadsword, deflecting a giant rock several times her height that was shot towards her as a lightning spear. The rock was pulverized and vaporized amidst the dazzling lightning.
Although the terrifying power David had displayed against Wolf earlier was somewhat inconsistent with the information Brainiac had given Ryan and the others, they were confident that they could take down David with some injuries.
But now, they were starting to have doubts.
David's lightning throws, like divine punishment from a god, rained down, forcing the four to constantly dodge.
"As long as I get a chance, I will make him kneel before us!"
Parrellus's eyes turned ferocious. Its towering body, as agile as a snake, dodged and lunged at David.
She had absolute confidence in her venom, which could exterminate the life on an entire planet!
"Let's go together."
Ryan, usually cold and proud, let out a low roar. She and Flower of Paradise attacked David together.
Any one of the four could contend with Wolf for a short period. With three of them teaming up, David didn't feel much pressure.
Wolf's most terrifying ability was its regeneration from a single drop of blood. David hadn't used his full power before because if he could find a way to kill Wolf, he wouldn't need to go all out.
But the three before him didn't have Wolf's self-healing capabilities!
David's strength was terrifying. With every punch, he unleashed overwhelming power. Even Raven, the strongest in direct combat among the three, couldn't withstand his might.
Bang!
Raising his broadsword to block David's fist, power surged like a raging tide. Accompanied by a deafening hum, Ryan was sent flying. The Tiger's Mouth of his sword-wielding hand throbbed with pain, nearly shattering.
Flower of Paradise, launching energy attacks from the air, couldn't dodge in time and had an arm grabbed by David.
David squeezed hard, snapping its arm like a dry twig.
"You're the weakest of the three, yet you dare get so close to me."
Ruthless lightning shot from his eyes, filling Flower of Paradise with dread. With a low growl, it urgently unleashed its energy, transforming into a white sun that repelled David.
After the intensely blinding light, Flower of Paradise's face showed exhaustion. Its glowing skin had dimmed considerably, and it clutched its severed arm in pain, retreating as if fleeing for its life.
Whoosh!
A strong, green tentacle suddenly attacked from behind its head. David, who had just stabilized, turned and, with lightning-fast hands, grabbed the tentacle.
The venomous tail stinger was less than a few centimeters from his forehead.
"Die!"
With its tentacle seized, Parrellus flashed a sinister smile. The tail stinger spat venom like the fangs of a king cobra.
David's eyes were within the range of the venom.
Raven and the other two couldn't help but feel a flicker of anticipation.
David's power was terrifying. Facing the attacks of the three, he still had the energy to keep them from crossing a certain line and to capture the weakened Kryptonian.
To defeat him, perhaps they would need Parrellus's most lethal venom.
At the critical moment, David sidestepped and dodged.
The foul, black-green venom grazed his face. It shot out like a high-pressure water jet, piercing the wall of a ring-shaped mountain hundreds of meters away and leaving a deep, dark hole. The venom flowed down, corroding as it went, carving a trail of death on the hard mountain wall.
There was no vegetation or life on the moon, otherwise, a scene of rapid death, wilting plants, and extinction would have unfolded.
"Too slow!"
Missing its attack, Parrellus's eyes changed. It intended to fire venom again.
"You think you can use the same move twice?"
David's expression was cold. He softly uttered "Shazam."
Lightning imbued with terrifying divine power struck down. Following the tentacle he held, the lightning engulfed Parrellus. The charred tentacle emitted the aroma of roasting meat. It was severely electrocuted and fell unconscious to the ground, its consciousness blurred.
Speaking the word again, retrieving the power of Shazam, David looked at Parrellus lying on the ground in the distance, raising an eyebrow.
The effect of this blow surprised him.
"With this monster woman's strength, which surpasses that of a normal Kryptonian, she shouldn't have been affected this much by a single blow."
"Lower magic resistance than a Kryptonian?"
He chuckled.
"Parrellus."
Raven and Flower of Paradise's faces changed drastically, and they angrily attacked David again.
One possessed considerable strength and was skilled in defense, while the other excelled in energy attacks, but even their greatest strengths couldn't match David. How could they possibly defeat him?
During the exchange, they fought while moving, the ground cracking and ring mountains being pulverized.
The rampant cosmic energy and lightning melted the lunar surface, forming patches of lava-filled depressions.
However, David was somewhat disappointed to find that only Parrellus had extremely low magic resistance. The divine power lightning had no abnormal effect on the other two. Of course, this wouldn't affect the final outcome.
"I'll hold him off, you go capture that Kryptonian brat!"
Blown back dozens of meters by the terrifying power, Raven grunted, her fierce gaze sweeping towards the distance, thinking of using Clark to threaten David.
After being weakened by Kryptonite, Clark immediately used his Lantern Ring's power to retreat to a safe distance, able to watch from afar.
"Can you hold him off?"
Raising his hand and firing a super gravity ray that blasted Flower of Paradise trying to get past him, David stomped on the ground and began to absorb the moon's mass, his body rapidly growing.
After acquiring the Hyperion Template, his physique was further enhanced, and he used this move with even greater proficiency.
Ryan and Flower of Paradise, with their tall bodies of over two meters, quickly became minuscule.
David, now seven to eight meters tall, was like a merciless giant god. A punch downward was like the impact of a thousand mountains. Ryan raised his sword to block, but was forced to his knees, hundreds of meters of ground beneath him cracking.
Boom!
The ground collapsed, spiderweb-like cracks snaking outwards. A blast wave erupted, sweeping across miles of lunar dust, clearing it away.
Resisting with difficulty, Ryan's eyes showed fear. David had become even stronger. She was already struggling to block his single hand with both of hers!
"Where else do you think you're going?"
The information provided by Brainiac described the unusual relationship between David and Clark. Right now, threatening Clark to subdue David and make him give up resisting was the only chance to win. The Flower of Paradise once again tried to cross David.
Clark, in the distance, looked tense.
He didn't know if his Green Lantern energy could help him block the radiation and withstand this guy's attacks.
How could David let the Flower of Paradise have its way? He reached out with his large hand to grab it.
The power of the Lantern Ring also depended on who wielded it. Even though the Flower of Paradise had lost an arm, its remaining strength was not something Clark could handle with just the Lantern Ring.
The long-limbed body of the Flower of Paradise was not even as large as David's palm, resembling a dragonfly desperately trying to escape.
"No!"
A terrifying suction erupted from David's palm, like a black hole, pulling the Flower of Paradise, drastically reducing its speed. In the end, it couldn't escape.
Grabbing it in his hand, David squeezed hard.
A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed. The Flower of Paradise's bones seemed to be crushed by a hydraulic press, shattering completely. Blood flowed from its lips, accompanied by a burst of dazzling lightning, and it finally ceased to breathe.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing his comrade die before his eyes, Ryan's eyes widened in fury. He burst with power, pushing away the fist that weighed as heavily as a mountain on his head.
"You're not a cold-blooded, unfeeling monster after all, but you shouldn't serve Brainiac and cause trouble for me."
Witnessing Ryan burst with power for his comrade, David showed no pity. He rapidly charged into the sky, his fist plunging down, hitting Ryan fiercely. Ryan was blasted into the ground by an irresistible force, spitting blood from his mouth.
Before Ryan could get up, another giant fist descended from the sky, casting a shadow that evoked despair.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After several consecutive punches, David raised his hand and glanced at the bloodstains on his fist.
At the bottom of the massive crater, Ryan lay bleeding and on the verge of death, barely breathing. His broken sword lay beside him.
"It's over!"
David returned the mass he had taken to the moon, transforming back into his original form. He grabbed the now defenseless Ryan and ended his life with divine power lightning. Afterward, he delivered a final blow to Parrellus on the ground.
"What a shame."
After killing the three of them, he felt a slight regret.
These three biological weapons, stronger than ordinary Kryptonians, could provide a considerable amount of emotion points, equivalent to seven or eight Kryptonians.
However, unlike Kryptonians, they didn't have a weakness that limited their power, and he had no means to imprison them.
"But it doesn't matter, at least there's still Wolf."
David looked into the distance.
After he had dealt with the three planet destroyers, the battle between Wolf and the last remaining person among the four, Dimax, was finally coming to an end.
He could foresee Wolf continuously providing him with emotion points in the future, and with very intense emotions at that.
"Ryan, Parrellus…?! I'll tear you apart!"
Seeing all his comrades killed, Dimax, with several gruesome wounds on his body, roared like a furious lion and lunged at David. But in the next second, a chain wrapped around his neck, dragging him back.
"Where are you going, little kitty?"
Wolf's clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in bloodstains, resembling a primitive man who had fought a ferocious beast in the jungle. However, his injuries had already healed.
He sneered at the corners of his mouth, increasing his grip. His arm muscles bulged, and terrifying power erupted.
"Let me go!"
Dimax's eyes were blood red as he clawed backward with his hands. His sharp claws tore at Wolf's arm, splashing blood, but it was useless.
Crack!
A few seconds later, accompanied by the sound of cracking bones, his eyes bulged. His neck was snapped by the seemingly pain-immune Wolf, his head lolling to the side, turning him into a corpse.
"Finally done. I'm exhausted."
Pushing the corpse off him, Wolf stood up, panting heavily.
"The activity today was more than my entire past month combined!"
In this forgotten corner of the universe, he had encountered troublesome enemies not once, but twice.
"Hey, can you delete those photos now?"
After standing up, Wolf looked at David, his tone lacking confidence.
"What did I just say?
You only took care of one. Is this the number one mercenary in the universe?"
David sneered, crossing his arms.
Wolf was hit hard by David's words, his face turning red, but he couldn't refute him. He truly hadn't expected these guys to be so formidable. Just one of them had taken him considerable effort, while David, having dealt with three, showed no signs of fatigue.
This dashed Wolf's cunning plan to listen obediently, lull him into a false sense of security, and then snatch the Lantern Ring when he was tired and injured. He gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn it, how can this kid glowing purple be so strong?
When will I ever get those photos back!"
