Above the island where the Justice League headquarters is located.
A figure of immense power, as if forged from the densest material at the core of a neutron star, with boundless energy like a silver sun mercilessly radiating and evaporating all things.
The two fought more fiercely, and Clark and Major Force were forced to retreat several kilometers from the island.
Iron fists that could shatter anything dispersed the powerful energy. As the energy splashed down, the island's earth turned into molten lava pools, and everything on the island was destroyed beyond recognition.
Everyone watched the terrifying battle in the distance with trepidation.
"Even the ocean is boiling!"
On the sea surface, Flash, his body flickering and vibrating at high speed, managed to stay standing on the water. Looking at the boiling seawater beneath his feet, he was utterly shocked.
It was as if a super-volcano was erupting underwater. Within a dozen miles of the island, the seawater churned like a pot of boiling soup, rolling with white, boiling water, extending all the way to the ports on both sides of Gotham and Metropolis.
Crowds at the ports, shocked, pulled out their phones to film, not understanding what was happening in the distance. The sky was dazzling with light, like a supernova explosion, and the ocean was also showing abnormalities.
"God, is this the end of the world?"
"Could this be related to the Justice League? Are they dealing with some terrifying enemy or crisis?"
Someone ventured a bold guess.
Ordinary citizens didn't know the exact location of the Justice League headquarters, but they knew it had to be very close to Metropolis, as there had been many instances where Metropolis was in danger and the Justice League had quickly responded.
For a moment, everyone held their phones up to the sky, discussing animatedly. However, they didn't know that this time, the Justice League was not facing villains who wanted to destroy cities or conquer the world, but the super task force recently launched by the White House!
"Is Transcendent alright?"
Floating in the nearly 100-degree Celsius seawater, Arthur worried.
The slightest energy splash from the battle's aftermath had caused the sea to boil. What kind of attack was David enduring, facing that energy directly?
"David has become even stronger."
With his super vision, Clark clearly saw David advancing under the fierce bombardment of energy beams. Captain Atom had to repeatedly dodge in mid-air. Clark punched the Iron Man-like Major Force, his eyes showing astonishment.
He could feel his body's instincts constantly warning him how terrifying the infinite energy wielded by Captain Atom in the distance was. It could likely injure him effortlessly.
"David's strength growth seems to have never stopped."
"If we were still there now, not even ashes would remain."
The vegetation on the island was scorched, and the boiling lava formed a continuous expanse, turning it into a lava island. Green Lantern and Flash exchanged horrified glances.
This was caused by just a ripple of energy.
Everyone found it hard to imagine how strong David's body was, to still be chasing Captain Atom while enduring that infinite energy bombardment head-on.
Bang! Bang!
"Surrender, you can't win. That guy's energy is infinite!"
In the sky above the sea, Major Force broke through the air and attacked ferociously again. His savage fist was blocked by Batman, and Clark swiftly landed a punch from the side, sending him flying with an explosion of airwaves.
Having undergone the same experiment, Major Force's abilities were like a comprehensively degraded version of Captain Atom's. But despite his deep resentment and jealousy, he had to admit the terrifying nature of that guy.
"Although he and Transcendent seem evenly matched for now, as time goes on, your Transcendent will eventually lose!"
Major Force sneered and unleashed an energy attack.
"If you surrender now, when you fall into my hands, I can torment you a little less!"
"To think that even someone like you can offer amnesty. It seems this country's president really needs to be replaced!"
Unable to stand a despicable criminal acting arrogantly in front of everyone, Clark roared in anger, unleashing his power and pushing Major Force back.
"He might have infinite energy, but not infinite strength."
A laser beam hit Major Force, making his head snap back. Inside his mech, Batman's voice was cold.
"You haven't personally witnessed how many despair-inducingly powerful enemies that guy has defeated!"
"Just Joker! What's so great about a task force directly under the president?"
A fist of condensed green light followed, hitting Major Force squarely in the face. Hal Jordan scoffed.
"I'm a space cop! The galaxy is my sector!"
With Superman joining them, the tide turned, and they began to suppress Major Force.
As for Extreme Pain, Major Force's remarks only made her dislike him more. Already forced to help fight the Justice League, she began to completely slack off.
Buzz!
Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones, David punched and dispersed the beam cannon that annihilated everything, which was rushing towards him. Ignoring the burning of his skin, his fist shattered Captain Atom's chest.
Crack! Crack!
After multiple heavy blows, Captain Atom's chest bones made creaking sounds, unable to bear the strain. His eyes bulged, and he stared at David in front of him with pain.
"Your strength has exceeded my estimations!"
Slam!
Like a cornered beast, Captain Atom's knuckles protruded, and he tightly gripped David's shoulders.
"You don't know that I've been controlling my power, just in case I turn into a super nuclear bomb that blows up half of the states under U.S. jurisdiction.
The continuous drain has made it almost impossible to control. While it's dangerous, I have to finish you off quickly!"
Captain Atom was like a tin can encased in rampaging energy, repairing the damage to his body and preventing the energy within from leaking out and exploding.
"This move was inspired by a solar flare."
Captain Atom roared, tilting his head back. A bright light suddenly illuminated the silver metal of his chest, like a flare erupting on the sun's surface. A pillar of light, piercing heaven and earth, shot out from his chest.
Although David hadn't inflicted what ordinary people would consider fatal injuries on him yet, only he knew he was on the verge of dangerous loss of control. This was the price of his infinite energy.
"I absolutely cannot let this continue!"
With the accumulation of some injuries, constantly controlling his powers to repair his body had drained him mentally. Captain Atom hardened his resolve, determined not to lose control of his body, and unleashed his strongest attack in a desperate gamble.
He turned himself into a gateway of energy connected to the quantum field. Endless, terrifying quantum energy surged and roared through the 'door' he had opened!
Seeing Captain Atom poised to take them both down, David's eyes widened in shock. A sun seemed to bloom before him. He heard the hiss of wind as a roaring river of light pierced his body.
The silver-white light was like an aurora suddenly appearing in extreme darkness, even outshining the sun in the sky. It spanned the heavens, shot past the atmosphere, and was visible even from space.
For a moment, it felt as if heaven and earth fell silent, not a sound to be heard.
"David!"
When the dazzling light faded, Clark lowered his hand and saw the scene before him, exclaiming with a trace of fear.
Everyone looked, their faces turning pale, and they involuntarily held their breath.
The two in the sky, Captain Atom's silver skin was dim, with light flickering erratically throughout his body, his condition seemingly not right.
David's appearance was a hundred times more gruesome. A hole the size of a bucket had been torn through his chest, penetrating from front to back. The wound was charred, as if from a laser, and not a drop of blood was visible. His heart and some internal organs had been vaporized.
"Hahaha!" Major Force clutched his injured chest and roared with laughter.
Extreme Pain's expression faltered. The Transcendent was a hero who had saved the world multiple times. Was he about to be killed with her assistance?
"No!" The Green Lantern and the others couldn't accept it.
They had never imagined that David, who had led them to defeat so many powerful enemies, would one day suffer such severe injuries!
"You lost!"
But high in the sky, David looked at the horrific injuries that should have been fatal to any living being. He then looked up and sneered at Captain Atom.
I got home a bit late, so the update is also a bit late. My apologies.
