"You really think that by grasping a bit of spatial law through an Infinity Stone, you can defeat me?"
Blood Butcher Superman sneered as he looked at Lucas's slightly distorted figure.
"At best, all you can do now is dodge my attacks like a coward. You simply don't have the power to defeat me head-on!"
As his voice echoed under the surge of energy, Lucas appeared directly in front of him.
"If you had mastered most of the laws of space, I might truly not be your opponent," Blood Butcher Superman continued calmly.
"But in your current state—you're still not qualified."
Lucas did not refute him, because what Blood Butcher Superman said was correct.
Although Lucas had fused with the Space Stone, his mastery was still at a very primitive level.
The laws and abilities he could wield were nothing more than a tiny fraction of the Stone's true potential.
That sliver of power was already overwhelming to ordinary beings, but against Blood Butcher Superman, it was far from decisive.
It was like a lightweight boxer facing a heavyweight.
No matter how much faster the lightweight moved or struck, the blows simply lacked the force to deal real damage.
Meanwhile, the heavyweight needed only one clean hit to determine the outcome.
The Infinity Stones were not ordinary tools—their energy and rules could not be fully comprehended or mastered in an instant.
"And don't think you're invincible now," Blood Butcher Superman added coldly.
"As long as you dare to flee, I'll go straight to Earth and destroy everything you care about."
"You can try me, if you doubt it."
Lucas's eyes turned icy.
So in the end, it still had to come down to a direct confrontation.
However, with the Space Stone's support, this was no longer a battle with zero chance of victory.
Energy surged again within Lucas, and his aura transformed into a semi-transparent glow.
His ki roared outward as he pushed himself ever closer to his peak.
"Yes—this is it!" Blood Butcher Superman grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"So what if you have the Space Stone? As long as those Earthlings exist behind you, you must fight me head-on!"
Blood Butcher wants revenge.
'Everything you did to me—I will return it all!'
Harder.
More brutal.
The ground beneath him exploded as Blood Butcher Superman launched the first attack.
Rage flames erupted across his body, and he charged forward like a blazing war chariot, slamming straight toward Lucas.
Lucas immediately attempted to activate spatial movement—
But Blood Butcher Superman raised his hand.
A massive wave of rage energy flooded the surrounding space, and Lucas instantly felt enormous resistance as he tried to manipulate spatial laws.
Lantern energy, born of the Emotional Spectrum, was itself a branch of cosmic primal power—not some weak, trivial force.
Interfering with local space to disrupt Lucas's movement was well within its capability.
Sensing the resistance, Lucas immediately diverted maximum energy into defense.
In the next instant, Blood Butcher Superman crashed into him with brutal force.
Lucas was sent flying like a man struck by a speeding truck, accelerating through the vacuum.
The enormous momentum carved a trench two to three meters wide across the Moon's surface before he slammed into a crater.
In the silent void, the crater collapsed under the impact, massive chunks of rock breaking apart and tumbling downward.
Blood Butcher Superman turned into a streak of red light and pursued him again.
Along the way, every massive fragment he encountered melted instantly, like wax touching flame.
As he closed in on Lucas, he suddenly discovered that every angle around him had been sealed by blue-white spatial barriers.
At the same time, Lucas did not retreat—instead, he flashed directly in front of Blood Butcher Superman.
With both arms, Lucas locked onto his opponent's body.
Combined with spatial restraints, Blood Butcher Superman found himself unable to break free for a brief moment.
Even more shocking was the violent fluctuation suddenly erupting from Lucas's body.
Instantly, a single thought flashed through Blood Butcher Superman's mind—
Self-destruction.
"Are you insane?!" he roared.
Who would have thought this lunatic intended to self-destruct at point-blank range?
At such a distance, even if he survived, he would be severely crippled!
"Stop now!" Blood Butcher Superman shouted.
"If you do this, you'll definitely die—and I might still live!"
But the energy reaction within Lucas only grew stronger.
At last, Blood Butcher Superman tore free—
And in that same instant, the energy detonated.
This was not an ordinary explosion.
This was self-detonation empowered by the Space Stone.
In the next moment, a blinding light burst forth on the Moon.
A radiant sphere was born.
The Supernova—ignited once more!
In an instant, the sphere expanded from a few meters to several kilometers, its brilliance engulfing half the Moon.
From Earth, the night hemisphere suddenly turned to daylight—as if a second sun had appeared in the sky.
Humanity, still reeling from the aftermath of the massive tsunami, was drawn once more to the sky.
Then came the explosion.
The Moon's illuminated side collapsed under the blast, as if one face of a building-block structure had been shattered.
Vast amounts of lunar debris were swallowed by the explosion.
The Moon, once steadily orbiting Earth, was violently slowed by the shockwave, its axial trajectory thrown off balance.
As a result, the Moon's tidal pull on Earth abruptly changed.
The massive tsunamis that had been about to devastate coastlines worldwide suddenly froze—then twisted chaotically, as if dragged in different directions by unseen forces.
This bizarre phenomenon, unseen in all of human history, stunned the entire world.
Countless people fell to their knees in prayer.
No matter whom they prayed to, in the end, all hope was placed upon Lucas.
When the light finally faded, the Moon looked like a peach with a massive bite torn out of it.
Within the enormous crater, a faint red glow flickered.
A distorted crimson sphere.
As it rapidly dissipated, Blood Butcher Superman emerged in the vacuum of space.
But now, his armor was almost completely shattered.
His body was covered in wounds, and exhaustion was clearly etched across his face.
