------------------------------------------------
Feeling the pressure rushing toward him, Homelander didn't panic; instead, he let out a triumphant, wild laugh.
"Hahaha! Good! Let's get serious!"
"System, Team Assembly! Thunder Bond! Full power!!"
Detecting surrounding team members... Member detected: Homelander.
Team Assembly activated! Thunder Bond activated!
Linking members: Quicksilver, Deadpool, Speedball.
All attributes increased by 240%!
Additional effect: Divine Thunder Power, now active!
Although he had no teammates by his side in this Universe, the system's judgment spanned across the heavens.
The power of bonds from another Universe pierced through the barriers of time and space, bestowing itself upon him.
Rumble—!!
The originally clear sky was instantly covered in dark clouds, and thunder rolled.
Blinding arcs of electricity suddenly lit up on Homelander's body.
Countless bolts of golden lightning descended from the sky, converging on Homelander as if Thor himself had descended to the world.
"Taste this! You alien bastard!"
Infused with the power of thunder, his Heat Vision once again transformed into a dazzling gold!
The golden sword of thunder, carrying the prestige of destruction, stabbed fiercely into the red pillar of light.
Bang—!!!
The two extreme energies exploded at the center point.
A powerful Impact swept out, and buildings within a few kilometers all collapsed.
Fortunately, Harley was prepared; she hid in a deep pit, clutching her camera tightly while screaming excitedly, "Yes!! Nice shot!!"
"Did everyone see that?! That alien asshole got blasted away! Long live Mr. Milk Candy!"
The dust settled.
The two men were simultaneously pushed back dozens of meters, their feet plowing two deep furrows into the ground.
Superman crawled out of the dirt pit, looking slightly disheveled, but the battle intent in his eyes grew even more frenzied.
He bent his knees forward, preparing to launch another charge.
Whoosh—!
The roar of an engine suddenly came from the sky.
A wedge-shaped, double-winged Apokolips ship broke through the clouds and landed between the two of them.
The hatch opened, and two high-ranking Apokolips officers in heavy armor jumped down, blocking Superman's path.
"Son of Krypton! Stop fighting!"
One of the officers shouted loudly, his tone urgent.
"It's a trap! That damned Bat is leading people to attack Metropolis! They are seizing the mother box!"
"Go back quickly! My Lord Darkseid's order is to protect the mother box!!"
Normally, hearing Darkseid's name, Superman would execute the order without hesitation.
But now?
The phrase 'Martha would find you disgusting' was on an infinite loop in his mind.
"Get lost!" Superman didn't even give them a glance, his gaze locked dead onto Homelander.
"Kal-El! Calm down!" The other officer also stepped forward to try and stop him. "This guy is just a lure! If you don't go back now..."
"I said..." Superman's head snapped around, his eyes flashing with a burst of red light.
"...Get out!!!"
Sizzle—!!
Two beams of Heat Vision directly pierced through the bodies of those two officers.
They didn't even have time to scream before their upper bodies were blasted into dust by the Heat Vision, leaving only two pairs of legs standing where they were.
"No one can stop me from killing you..."
Superman stepped over his colleagues' corpses, his voice sounding as if it came from hell.
"...Even if Darkseid himself comes, it will be the same!"
Seeing this scene, Homelander couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"
"It's a pity this persistence of yours wasn't seen when your wife and child were killed, but it comes out when you're being a dog."
"Aaaaaah—Die!!"
Superman could no longer endure it. His body blurred into an afterimage, breaking the sound barrier in the blink of an eye as he threw a punch at Homelander's face.
"Bring it on!!"
Homelander showed no weakness either, his fist wrapped in thunder as he met the attack head-on.
Bang!!!
The two fists collided in mid-air.
The terrifying Impact scraped a layer off the ground for hundreds of meters around.
The battle that followed was so fast it was a dizzying blur.
Superman hit Homelander with an uppercut that sent him flying into the sky, then followed up with Heat Vision from his eyes.
Homelander rolled in the air, dodging the Heat Vision, and countered with a double-fist hammer to Superman's back, smashing him into the ground.
The two fought from the ground to the sky, and from the sky back to the ground.
Bang!
Superman caught an opening and punched Homelander in the bridge of his nose.
Homelander tilted his head to dodge and countered with an uppercut that slammed into Superman's chin.
Superman's head snapped back, but he used the reaction force to kick Homelander in the abdomen.
Homelander was sent flying by the kick, but he immediately stabilized himself, his cape fluttering as he charged back once more.
Whoosh—!
Superman suddenly took a deep breath, his chest swelling high, and then exhaled a blast of extreme freezing breath at Homelander.
The water molecules in the air instantly condensed, and a white frost storm froze Homelander into an ice sculpture.
"This is your end!"
Superman took the opportunity to build up strength, swinging a heavy punch at the ice sculpture.
"End your mother!"
Rumble—!!
Explosive thunder light burst from within the ice layer, shattering the solid ice into countless crystalline powders.
Homelander broke out of the ice, his entire body entwined with even more violent lightning.
"Take this, Raikiri!!" Homelander cupped his right fist, forming a massive ball of lightning.
He puffed out his chest to take a heavy punch from Superman head-on, then slammed the lightning ball hard into Superman's face.
Sizzle—Boom!!
Superman was struck stiff by the lightning and smashed directly into the ground.
Compared to his Man of Steel physique, his magic resistance was simply not worth mentioning.
Having taken a heavy punch, Homelander was also sent flying backward at the same time.
They were evenly matched!
This was truly a meeting of worthy adversaries.
Although Superman had lost his mind, his Kryptonian constitution remained incredibly powerful.
Harley Quinn hid in the distance, steadily recording everything.
"Wow! Left hook! Beautiful!"
"Oh my god! That kick was so brutal! I think I heard the sound of bones shattering!"
"Hit him! Mr. Milk Candy! Hit him in the face! Disfigure him!"
"Yay! Just like that! Sit on him and beat him!"
As she filmed, she shouted like a commentator, finding it incredibly satisfying to watch.
"This is definitely the best action movie of the century! If it hit theaters, the box office would definitely exceed ten billion!"
On the other side of the screens...
Survivors across the globe held their breath.
Watching the man on the screen fighting the supposedly invincible Superman to a standstill, the fear in their hearts was slowly dissipating, and an unprecedented excitement surged within them.
"He can win... he really can win, right!"
A boy hiding in a sewer gripped his father's hand tightly, his eyes shining with light.
"Kill him! Homelander! Kill him!"
In countless shelters, long-suppressed cheers erupted.
At the center of the battlefield.
The two separated again, facing off from dozens of meters away.
Both were somewhat disheveled.
Although Homelander's uniform was completely undamaged, his face was covered in dust.
Superman was worse off; half of his cape had been torn away, and his uniform was severely damaged.
Puff... puff...
Both were panting, but the battle intent in their eyes burned brighter and brighter.
