Superman Clone Devouring the Sun

Beyond Earth lay the vast, pitch-black expanse of outer space.

Since ancient times, the starry sky had been a place humanity had sought to explore by every possible means. Yet in 1999, even though some superpowers had successively developed spacecraft and space stations, humanity could at most set foot on the Moon for exploration.

The farther reaches of outer space remained an absolute forbidden zone for humanity!

At this moment, far from Earth, a thousand kilometers from the sun of the Milky Way Galaxy.

In space near the sun stood a mountain-sized pyramid, hovering in the universe like a spaceship. The pyramid was already enormous; when it had appeared in New York City back then, every resident of the city had been able to see it.

Yet compared to the eternally burning solar star beside it, the pyramid was as tiny as a speck of dust!

At the summit of the pyramid, atop an altar facing the sun, an emaciated old man sat cross-legged. His hands were shriveled like chicken claws, yet he radiated a powerful aura. A translucent protective barrier surrounded him, shielding him from the sun's blazing might nearby.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Apocalypse opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face. "As expected. By using all my abilities to withstand the sun's energy, my innate powers are continuously growing stronger!"

He was extremely pleased. Even without absorbing and converting mutant abilities, he could still increase his strength!

But when Apocalypse looked toward the sun ahead, he revealed a bitter smile.

He had once been the God of Mutants. Now, after integrating numerous abilities, his strength had increased by at least half compared to over a decade ago!

But compared to that person, it was nothing.

"Master must be even stronger now." Apocalypse sighed.
