A truck was instantly crushed on the road. It was as if it had slammed at full speed into a high-density, massive alloy block.
The alloy didn't have a single crack, but the truck was compressed and twisted by the impact. Its frame bent apart, its body shattered, and countless fragments and parts sprayed in every direction.
The tires kept crashing into passing vehicles nearby, causing one traffic accident after another.
The debris and parts became like bullets, continuously blowing apart shop windows on both sides of the street and leaving pedestrians who couldn't get away in time with bleeding heads.
By the time the truck had completely fallen apart, Homelander had just bent down and reached for the Mother Box when a huge wave of lightning swept toward him and struck the Mother Box, sending the alien machine flying.
As the Mother Box spun through the air, its surface buzzed and trembled. Countless particles rose from it. Stimulated by the external force, it was clearly no longer dormant.
Homelander looked up and saw Vera descending from the sky.
Lightning burst from the Mjolnir in her hand.
Electric arcs wrapped around her, making her look like the God of Thunder from myth.
BANG!
Vera landed on the road in front of Homelander.
A sedan lost control and crashed toward her. She pushed forward with Mjolnir.
Lightning exploded from the hammer's surface and blasted out, striking the car.
The sedan immediately exploded, creating an orange fireball. The vehicle was thrown away and crashed heavily onto the roadside. The airbags had deployed, and the driver's face was covered in blood. Whether he was alive or dead was unknown.
Homelander glanced at the Mother Box, which had landed on the street and was now buzzing on its own, then looked at Vera.
"I have a good suggestion. Why don't you withdraw voluntarily? There's no need to decide life and death in this incident anyway."
Smiling, Vera pointed her hammer at Homelander, "What a coincidence. I was just about to give you the same suggestion."
"Don't tell me you can't afford a Banner of Shame."
Homelander shook his head, "I don't like surrendering without a fight."
Vera looked surprised, "Really? Me too. What a coincidence."
Homelander laughed, "It seems we're really alike. I'm starting to think we might be brother and sister."
Vera shrugged, "Why can't it be older sister and younger brother?"
"Whether it's brother and sister or sister and brother, it looks like we'll have to begin round two."
Homelander smiled and walked toward Vera, "I bet you won't give me a chance to touch the Mother Box."
"In other words, unless I put you to sleep for a while, I won't be able to get near it."
Vera also walked toward him.
"I think so too. How should I put it? I actually don't dislike you."
"If it were a different time and a different place, we might even have sparred another way, on another occasion. I think that would've been interesting."
"But right now."
She stopped.
Homelander was already standing in front of her.
The two were almost touching.
Looking at the woman who was only a little shorter than himself, Homelander finished her sentence.
"But right now, we need to solve the problem in front of us first."
"Exactly."
The moment she finished speaking, Vera quickly raised her arm.
Mjolnir, carrying dazzling lightning, smashed toward Homelander.
Homelander reached out and caught the hammer.
Smiling slightly, he raised his right hand and blasted out a white shockwave as his fist drove toward her face.
Vera bent her elbow upward and knocked his punch aside.
Homelander smiled.
Then he suddenly slammed his forehead into Vera's face, sending her flying backward.
Vera's body flew uncontrollably through the air.
As she crossed an intersection, she smashed into a bus passing across the street and burst back out between two passengers.
Amid the screams of the passengers, she crashed into an oncoming car, punched straight into the passenger compartment, rolled once, and finally stopped in the back seat.
The owner slammed on the brakes.
The airbag deployed and pinned him in the driver's seat, leaving him unable to move.
Vera snorted, opened the door, jumped out of the car, and touched her nose.
"I hate getting hit in the face."
Then she flew back.
Locking onto Homelander, she threw Mjolnir.
Lightning burst from the hammer.
Like a shell fired from a cannon, it stirred violent winds.
Like a meteor falling into the atmosphere, bright flames ignited around it as it slammed toward Homelander's head.
Homelander turned his body aside and let the hammer strike the road.
Fine cracks immediately spread across the asphalt.
The surrounding pavement bulged upward and split apart.
Chunks of broken roadway shot into the air before crashing back down.
At that moment, a loud horn sounded from behind.
A tanker truck was approaching and was about to hit Homelander.
Homelander flew up and landed behind the tanker.
With a kick, he sent the dangerous vehicle carrying natural gas crashing toward Vera.
The driver's face turned green.
With a shout, he opened the door and jumped out.
The tanker slammed into Vera and exploded violently.
A huge fireball rose from the street.
The shockwave shattered every window in the surrounding buildings and threw countless pedestrians through the air or knocked them to the ground.
Vera flew out of the flames.
She reached out with an empty grab, and Mjolnir flew back toward her.
After catching it, she spun once and threw Mjolnir again.
At the same time, she rushed at Homelander and drove a punch toward his face.
Homelander raised both hands.
One caught Mjolnir.
The other caught Vera's fist.
The two smiled at each other.
Then their eyes lit up at the same time.
Golden beams burst from their eyes and collided at point-blank range, instantly forming a ring-shaped energy storm.
The energy storm erupted outward and swept across the entire street.
The temperature of the street rose at an extreme rate.
The copper streetlights on both sides melted and bent like candles thrown into a furnace.
Cars deformed and exploded one after another.
People who couldn't escape in time screamed as they burned.
The asphalt road glowed with fire and gave off a foul smell as it melted like cheese, flowing outward like a swamp.
BOOM!
The enormous impact forced Homelander and Vera apart.
One crashed into a store.
The other flew into a building.
Then they emerged again at the same time.
The two figures tangled together like wind, colliding again and again.
Each collision created terrifying shockwaves that destroyed everything they touched.
In only a few seconds, the street had become wreckage.
Tall buildings collapsed.
People screamed as they slid or flew out of them.
Bodies and pools of blood quickly appeared across the ruined road.
When the two figures clashed again,
Homelander held Mjolnir in one hand while his other hand was locked with Vera's.
Both bent slightly and began testing their strength.
At this moment, Homelander clearly held the advantage with Divine Power and the Hercules Bracers.
The patterns on the platinum bracers flashed.
Dark red light surged around him.
Homelander suddenly forced Vera into the ground, driving her into the melted asphalt like a thumbtack, with everything below her chest buried inside.
