It had to be said—the Homelander really had let it go to his head. He had only gained a slight upper hand, and he was already thinking about killing Hancock.
After all, while Hancock had no means of releasing energy, his body was extraordinarily powerful. It could even be said he had no weaknesses at all; otherwise, Hancock would never have become one of the base templates for Vought International's superhuman experiments.
So even though Hancock looked rather battered right now, he was not actually injured. He simply could not accept it psychologically.
With a bang, just as the Homelander's ego swelled, the hammer in his hand smashed down even more eagerly toward Hancock's body. Although there was no energy contained within the hammer, it was still a heavy, forceful blow, and it drove Hancock straight into the ground, smashing out a crater no smaller than the one Brayden had made when he landed on the other side.
This could also be considered one of the current Earth's traits. Before destructive power reached the point where it could truly harm the planet, the vast majority of impacts would only cause this much damage on Earth.
In other words, even if an asteroid struck Earth, the range of destruction it caused would not be much greater than what they were seeing now. But even the explosion of a small charge could still blast a little pit into the ground.
This was still a minor measure left behind by the Earth Dimension Consciousness back then.
