Clark, the Kill-Stealer
"The temperature seems to have returned to normal? Jarvis, did the Saiyan decide a winner?" After noticing that the temperature had returned to normal, a glint of light flashed across Tony Stark's tired expression as he looked at Jarvis and asked.
Although Tony Stark hadn't been fighting these past few days, he felt even more exhausted than if he had been fighting, because there were just too many things to handle. So much so that he could only leave Jarvis to continue observing Robet's fireball and wait for the outcome of the battle.
Of course, Tony Stark now knows Robet's identity, since finding out about Robet's identity after meeting Peter Parker and his group was not difficult at all.
Especially since Peter Parker and his friends haven't gone to college yet, their social circles are limited, making it incredibly easy to investigate. Moreover, Peter Parker and his friends' inner circle is practically inseparable, so a little investigation would suffice.
Even so, Tony Stark had no intention of revealing Robet's identity. Especially after experiencing these extraordinary events, Tony Stark felt that a superhuman like Robet was absolutely indispensable. Moreover, to put it bluntly, Robet showed less danger than people like Nick Fury.
It's important to understand that in this extraordinary event, so large that it even threatened the entire planet, neither S.H.I.E.L.D.. nor the A.R.G.U.S. organization stepped forward to solve the problem or comfort the victims. Just as the Pentagon officials said, these organizations are quick to rush to the front lines when money is needed, but when it comes to actually solving the problem, they may not be so readily available...
"The battle on the Saiyan side isn't over yet. He's still inside this giant fireball. And although the fireball has significantly increased the surrounding temperature, according to my measurements, it hasn't affected the entire Earth. The Earth's environment seems to be recovering through some other force that I can't analyze..." Jarvis quickly replied upon hearing Tony Stark's words, and pulled up the video footage. The giant fireball was no different from when Tony Stark left.
Peter Parker and the others were no longer down below; apart from Susan Storm looking after Pietro and Lorna, the others had gone off to help out everywhere.
Because Tony Stark made some very insightful remarks when he left, even if they couldn't stand up as openly as Tony Stark, they still had to use their skills to some extent. In particular, natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters, and under such weather conditions, it was hard to guarantee that no one would give up and take the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.
"It's about to end..." At the same time, inside the giant fireball, there was a cracked block of ice in front of Robet. At the core of the ice block was a huge Frost Giant, but the Frost Giant was in a very bad state at the moment, and could even be described as teetering on the verge of collapse.
Just as Robet said, this battle is coming to an end.
However, Robet did not let his guard down, because Robet could sense that the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Frost Giant still had a final trump card. When the ice shattered, it would be the moment of their final battle, a life-or-death battle!
"Hmm?" Just as Robet was preparing for the final battle against the Frost Giant and the Casket of Ancient Winters, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura coming towards him.
The owner of this aura was none other than Clark. After transforming into a mini-sun and raising the temperature of the entire Earth, Clark discovered that Robet's battle was still ongoing.
Through his observation of the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Frost Giant, Clark knew that Robet was consuming their energy to prevent this special power, capable of influencing Earth's climate, from leaking out.
However, Clark felt there was no need to be so cautious. After all, he already had a solution and naturally wanted to eliminate this potential problem directly. He figured Robet wouldn't care, especially since Robet had already fought for so long and should have had enough. Besides, he didn't want to drag things out any longer...
With a "whoosh!" sound, just as Robet sensed Clark's presence, Clark's figure swiftly passed through the fireball. How fast was he? Even Tony Stark's Mecha, which was still observing from a distance, failed to capture Clark's appearance, and the fireball itself remained completely unharmed.
The next moment, Clark appeared in front of the ice block. Robet saw Clark about to speak, but Clark threw a punch. The Frost Giant in the opposite ice block suddenly looked terrified. At the same time, the Casket of Ancient Winters released its last power. It could even be seen that the Casket of Ancient Winters was no longer a box, but a piece of pure solid ice!
When this block of ice appeared, the cracks in the surrounding ice layer instantly closed, and a terrifying chill erupted, freezing even the surrounding Explosive Flames. Only Robet's body emitted a powerful flame, resisting the onslaught of this freezing power...
"Crack!" But Clark acted as if nothing had happened, punching the ice block. In an instant, the entire ice block shattered and turned into dust, giving the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Frost Giant no chance to retaliate, as they too turned into dust and disappeared!
At that moment, Robet had just dispelled the freezing power within him when he saw that Clark had already killed the enemy, leaving nothing behind...
"No..." Robet was speechless for a moment. How did Clark learn to steal kills? Although Clark had done something similar before, the last time was when Robet was dealing with other matters, so Clark took care of that Hell Demon King while he was at it.
This time was different. Clark came specifically because of the Casket of Ancient Winters, and it even seemed like he had a grudge against Casket of Ancient Winters. He destroyed it without saying a word, and his style of doing things was somewhat similar to Robet's.
"Your aura? It seems a bit unstable." However, Robet frowned as soon as he spoke, because he noticed that something was wrong with Clark. Clark's aura was powerful, but it was very unstable, like a bomb that was about to explode at any moment!
This situation worried Robet, because Clark, with his immense strength, had accidentally run into trouble—a problem stemming from a loss of control over his own power. He knew he wouldn't be able to help Clark...
"It's nothing. It's just that we were too close to the sun before, and it seems like we absorbed too much energy. After returning, we released that energy to help Earth return to normal, which caused my energy to be a bit unbalanced..." Clark waved his hand at Robet and sighed softly.
"Originally, I thought my power would increase without limit, but now it seems that's not the case. After absorbing a certain amount of solar energy, my cells start to swell and ache..."
"Although my power is greater than before, it seems I've encountered a barrier. However, it was precisely this throbbing pain that woke me up; otherwise, I don't know how long I would have slept, especially with such a major event happening on Earth..."
"This is something I truly didn't expect, or rather, it's probably a continuation of what happened in Asgard!" Robet's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke, "These guys are called Frost Giant, giants from the Norse Pantheon, and also the original owners of the Casket of Ancient Winters ..."
"You mean to say that this matter is somehow related to Asgard?" Clark frowned, recalling the previous devastation on Earth, and asked with a glint in his eyes.
"I don't know, but at least the Frost Giant appeared on Earth because of the Casket of Ancient Winters, and the Casket of Ancient Winters is here because of Loki..." Robet shrugged. Robet didn't know much about the Frost Giant, Loki, and Asgard, but from the limited information he had, he knew that they were definitely related, especially since Loki looked so much like one of the Frost Giant.
"Let me recover first. My strength is in a bit of a problem right now. If it were just cell swelling and pain, it shouldn't be a big deal after recovery, but I released too much energy after returning, which has caused my power to become somewhat unbalanced..." Clark sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face as he spoke.
This is why Clark paused for a moment when he saw the scene on Earth after his return, because he was indeed not in good condition at the time. However, Clark could not sit idly by in the face of such a crisis, especially since the effects of the temperature change on Earth would be lasting if he did not take action, rather than what some experts have said after the crisis was over, that it was just a short-lived mini-ice age.
"So that's why you're in such a hurry to get rid of this Casket of Ancient Winters?" Robet nodded knowingly. Under these circumstances, Robet certainly wouldn't continue talking about Clark stealing kills. He looked at Clark seriously and said.
"However, this loss of control over your power might not necessarily be a bad thing for you. At least it allows you to reach a new level of control over your own power..."
"Especially now that we know your body also has its limits, or rather, its bottlenecks. We were originally planning to let Kara get more sun, but now it seems that perhaps after reaching a certain point, your cells will reach saturation..."
"That makes sense, though. If every individual in a race could increase their strength Infinity, then your race would have already ruled the entire universe!"
There are indeed some overpowered races in the Dragon Ball World, in fact, there are quite a few of them. However, the number of people in these overpowered races is not very large, and can even be described as extremely rare.
From Jor-El, we know that the original number of Kryptonian was not small, at least not before Krypton's Devastation.
If Kryptonian truly had no limits to their power-ups, then Krypton wouldn't be in its current predicament...
"I understand. This trip to the sun was to continue researching my abilities. However, I discovered something: if I really lose the sun, my power increase is almost zero, and even my recovery speed will be affected..." Clark frowned and looked at Robet as he spoke.
"Hmm, so these powers don't completely belong to you yet..." Robet frowned as well. He didn't ask why Clark suddenly wanted to go to the sun, because he knew that Clark must have felt pressure after fighting Asgard. So Robet helped Clark analyze the situation.
"The sun can stimulate your cells, but what you truly need to strengthen is your own body and cells, not to continue relying on the sun. You need to find a way to store a sun that belongs only to you within your body, or find a way to permanently solidify this power within you, unaffected by external influences..."
With a "whoosh!", just as Robet finished speaking, Clark opened his palm, and a red light condensed in Clark palm. Robet could clearly feel that it was energy similar to Heat Vision. At this moment, Clark finally possessed an ability similar to Ki Blast, and no longer needed to glare at others during battle.
"This is one of my few gains this time. I've finally managed to make some fancy use of energy attacks, just like you..." Clark's lips curled up slightly. Although his aura was unstable, he wasn't too weak to fight, so Clark showed off to Robet.
"That might be a little difficult..." Robet shook his head with a smile and said softly, "You should first think about how to control your body and power. As for playing around with fancy moves, your energy is generally one type, not that complex and varied. Just like Peter Parker right now, it would be quite difficult for him to learn how to release so many different Ki Blast techniques like me..."
"Alright, let's study this later. I'm going to stay on the Savage Island for a while. Tell Martha and the others..." Clark didn't object to Robet's suggestion, because his energy release was indeed somewhat limited, and now was not the time for research. He needed to recover his strength first.
This time, Frost Giant have come to Earth; who knows if another villain will cause such a huge impact on Earth next time?
Therefore, Clark didn't even go home, but went straight to the Savage Island. Of course, the main reason was that his power was somewhat out of control, and if he really went home, he might not believe it and scare Martha and the others...
As temperatures gradually returned to normal on Earth, somewhere along the planet, several figures dressed like medieval warriors sensed their surroundings, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes...
