You Should Have Cut Off My Head

"Mera?"

"Mera?"

As the water receded, a vibrant life force filled every cell in Beckett's body.

The blood-stained trident, its golden light dimmed, crashed to the ground with a clatter, kicking up a cloud of dust.

But Beckett could no longer see the woman.

"A new technique from Atlantis?"

Darkseid, who had been injured earlier, was unable to break through the protective shield created by the Golden Trident and Mera's life force, and could only stand by and watch as the two completed the handover of their lives.

Mera's vitality as a member of the sea tribe royal family was enough to heal most of Beckett's injuries. The dying cells devoured everything that belonged to Mera like a ravenous man who had been thirsting for decades encountering sweet meru.

Snap...

The final water shield dissipated, and Beckett, who was inside, landed smoothly.

The congealed scabs fell off one by one, revealing newly grown, fair skin.

"Mera... is dead too...?"

Barry Allen, whose legs had been crippled, tried to stand up, but the sharp pain that shot through every nerve caused him to fall flat on his face.

The League of Legends, once hailed as the strongest in the world, now only has Barry Allen left.

"Super Saiyan."

Having absorbed the new power, Beckett opened his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on Darkseid.

Before the words were even finished, the arrogant golden aura rose up once more.

"Oh?"

"Are you still putting up a futile resistance?"

Darkseid raised his hand, and an invisible energy field descended instantly. Beckett felt as if he had stepped into a muddy swamp, unable to move an inch.

"Super Saiyan II".

Buzz!

The sudden surge of energy broke free from the Apocalypse Force Field's restraints. Beckett raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Darkseid, his expression chillingly indifferent.

"Super Saiyan 3!"

Beckett unleashed his power to the limit he could reach in one go, and his flowing golden hair finally caused Darkseid's expression to change.

Darkseid recalled the image of Beckett revealing that he had tried to drag him down with him.

That was a power that could threaten him.

But...

"How long can you maintain this state?"

As long as he can defend against that self-destruct skill, Beckett in his Super Saiyan 3 form won't pose much of a threat to him.

Not to mention, Beckett in this state had a fatal flaw—he couldn't play a prolonged game.

"How long can you hold out?"

Beckett paused, and then his figure suddenly appeared behind Darkseid!

Boom!!!!

With his arms spinning energy balls, Beckett crossed Darkseid's body and then unleashed several incredibly sharp light wheels with a backhand!

"If I wanted, I could play with you all day long."

Cross your arms and bend your palms into claws.

The concentrated energy instantly unleashed a shockwave with a transparent water flow wrapped around its surface!

"It's no use."

"Your body is always the constraint on your ability to reach the next level."

The Omega Beam burst forth, canceling out the energy shockwave unleashed by Beckett.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Beckett, his face cold, flashed again and appeared behind Darkseid.

"..." Darkseid did not speak, but answered with his actions.

With fists and palms clashing, Beckett, who was at a disadvantage, instantly sank into the ground.

"It's over."

"This time, no Atlanteans will share their life with you."

Having seized the opening, Darkseid pressed his advantage, then, with Beckett by the throat, slowly floated out of the deep pit.

"Cough cough..."

Beckett was turning a blind eye, gritted his teeth, and an energy wheel with a diameter of about fifty centimeters suddenly appeared on his hands!

Whoosh!

Darkseid blasted it to pieces with his energy field, and Beckett took advantage of Darkseid's distraction to break free.

"Call..."

After landing, Beckett let out a heavy breath, and as if he had made some preparations, he suddenly stretched out his right hand.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, thunder roared across the azure sky, and gloomy dark clouds quickly took over.

"What?"

Darkseid frowned, puzzled by what was forming in Beckett's hand.

"It's done."

Beckett looked around at the spells he had cast.

That was a method he had come up with under the influence of Mera.

If there isn't a full moon that can transform him into Great Ape, then he'll create one himself.

Call out!

Using the principle of Mera's previous technique, Beckett extracted a portion of his own life force, combined it with his own energy to create a small artificial moon, and threw it into the sky.

Not having a strong enough physical body to withstand the power?

It doesn't exist!

No longer in a state of serious injury, Beckett did not hesitate to choose the state he was least confident in.

He had no other choice.

"Roar!!!!!!"

Beneath the dark, cloud-covering sky, the light from the miniature artificial moon gradually altered Beckett's appearance.

"What???" Darkseid, who was well-informed, was dumbfounded for the first time.

Beckett's body, which was originally only 1.8 meters tall, swelled into a Great Ape that was estimated to be 40 meters tall.

The brown fur gradually turned golden amidst the earth-shattering roar.

Its bright red tail swayed from side to side, and its violent power was constantly assaulting the last remaining sanity in Beckett's mind!

Beckett – Golden Great Ape Form!

"Roar!!!!!!"

With its powerful feet stomping on the earth, the Golden Great Ape roared to the sky under the gloomy sky, and surging energy continuously flowed from its body.

[No.]

Sensing the imminent danger, Darkseid summoned his weapon for the first time.

An axe.

A very sharp axe.

"Die!" Darkseid leaped high into the air, wielding his giant axe as he descended from the sky, slamming it down hard on the Golden Great Ape's shoulder!

"Roar!!!!!"

The expected scene of being cleaved in two by an axe did not occur. Instead, the Great Ape, its golden fur stained with blood, opened its gaping maw and unleashed a burst of energy!

"?!"

Darkseid, having miscalculated, retreated immediately, barely managing to avoid the attack only after losing an arm.

"How is this possible...?"

"This power..." Darkseid's face was very ugly.

He rarely miscalculates, but he felt that he had miscalculated again.

Beckett, I like you.

Mera's vanished image and smile floated into Beckett's mind, and the vigorous life force within him was like a gentle hand, soothing all the turmoil in Beckett's heart.

The Great Ape, which was on the verge of going berserk, stopped its howling, lowered its eyelids, and began to contract its energy.

Their body size also shrank accordingly.

[He... he's turned into a human again?]

Barry Allen stared blankly at Beckett had transformed back into a human.

The red tail no longer wrapped around its waist, but instead swayed freely behind it.

The dazzling golden light on her bare chest had faded, and her jet-black hair fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, Beckett looks exactly the same as he does when he is not in his Super Saiyan form.

Only...

"You shouldn't have chopped my shoulder just now."

"You should cut off my head."

Beckett opened his eyes, his golden vertical pupils filled with the majesty of a king.

An extra chapter will be added at midnight.

Someone's inviting me to dinner, so let's grab some beer and barbecue first!
