Not a Match

Smallville, Kansas.

As dusk fell, the crimson glow of the sunset faded, and the clouds gradually turned white.

The crimson sun, enormous on the horizon, resembled a fireball so close at hand, as it entered the last embers of its burning flame, refracting its final rays.

Who says the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's only near dusk? In the end, what's so good about the fading light?

It was once the dawn, a symbol of warmth, the beginning.

It was once bathed in the bright, scorching sun, radiating its most intense light and brilliance.

The sun sets, and dusk ends.

The land was devastated, with huge craters everywhere. From the sky, it looked as if a series of meteorites had struck and created massive cracks and craters. It was hard to believe that all of this was just a contest of power between two creatures.

In the center of a 700-meter-long circular, cracked crater, there is a black hole with a diameter of about 6 meters, reaching a depth of nearly 1,000 meters underground.

An extremely dull, heavy, and muffled sound emanated from within, causing the cracked, massive pit to tremble incessantly.

Large rocks kept rolling down and falling into the cracked pit.

Inside a cave with uneven walls, a large rock that falls is pushed against the walls, and then more rocks continue to fall, pushing against each other and getting stuck. Then, a continuous stream of rocks rolls down and gets stuck like that. Cleverly, some small pebbles manage to slip through the gaps. When one of them can't get through, it gets stuck, stabilizing the situation. From a physics perspective, the small pebbles provide support and stabilize the gaps.

The black hole was thus blocked by the falling, scattered rubble.

With each dull, heavy blow from within, the gradually diminishing vibrations actually made the structure more stable, firmly blocking the entrance and piling up into a stone mound.

'Boom!'

The stone tomb suddenly exploded, sending rocks flying in all directions amidst the fading sunset.

A dark shadow shot straight into the sky and then stood tall in the sky.

Behind him, the twilight, about to sink below the horizon, still casts its rays upwards, piercing his silhouette and revealing a sense of helpless melancholy.

He's really not good enough!

His hard chest was dented in, his right forearm was torn to the elbow, revealing the white bone, and blood dripped into the air. His thighs and back were also damaged to varying degrees, and blood seeped from his abdominal cavity. His ferocious fangs, which were bared, had both been knocked out, and most of his other small teeth were broken, with blood oozing from his gums.

His body was covered in white fur, and he had the physique of a werewolf. Bathed in the dim light of the sunset, he appeared horribly broken and ghastly.

Despite the fact that his injuries were repaired and healed in an instant, and his fangs grew back quickly.

But his heavy, unpleasant breathing, his terrifyingly narrowed eyes, his clenched fists with white knuckles, his bared fangs like a wild beast, and the low growls emanating from his throat—all these things spoke volumes about his incompetence.

He was brutally beaten; when Ba Di's strength was about the same as his, he was completely overwhelmed.

He concealed a more powerful werewolf form and suddenly tried to kill Ba Di with one blow, but he failed and was still stabbed by Ba Di, gaining no advantage.

When Ba Di's strength was about the same as his, he was no match for him. With every punch and kick, he was already at a disadvantage.

He has already incorporated all the top-level combat information into his body's genetic instincts, making him a fighting master, a grandmaster.

However, it is still far from sufficient.

Neither his physical fighting skills nor his mental understanding of combat were sufficient for him to fight against an opponent like Ba Di who transcended genetic limitations.

"Hmph..."

Jor-El let out a deep, heavy breath. His body, instantly restored to self-healing state by the energy within him, still retained the pain that left a deep impression on him.

His eyes were sharp and cold, and he reached out with his large, open hands to the back of his neck.

The fingertips immediately touched the Golden Kryptonite fragments hidden in the white hair on the neck. This Golden Kryptonite could cause the Augmentation Photon gene factor chain in the Krypton gene to be transcribed, directly disintegrating and disappearing, thus causing the Krypton Golden Kryptonite's superpowers to disappear.

This stone is ineffective outside the body; it can only break down the most important genetic chains and prevent them from recovering if it enters the Kryptonian's body.

Fortunately, he possessed sharp Talons capable of tearing through the thick keratin on Ba Di's body!

Jor-El's finger bones turned white, his fingers were bent, and the tips were sharp, curved claws like those of an animal. A sharp, cold light shone through the fleshy membrane as he spread his sharp hands in the air, displaying the werewolf posture of sharp, cold claws, ready to strike.

'Bang bang bang'

The sound came from the dark cave entrance.

The grotesque, twisted, and ugly body of the Ba Di tumor leaped out of it and onto the ground.

He still can't fly.

Flight requires escaping Earth's gravity, controlling one's own weight, and regulating the body's magnetic field. It requires controlling the body to escape Earth's gravity and achieving flight through the cyclical acceleration of one's own magnetic field.

The current Ba Di, in this body, only possesses a violent power mutation, unleashing the most powerful force of Krypton genes and energy shocks, but he has no ability to control his body's magnetic field to fly.

A massive sonic boom suddenly erupted in the sky, the entire sky seemingly becoming Jor-El's stepping stone. The explosion produced a tremendous sound, shaking and shattering the clouds in the sky, sending them flying far away. The shattered clouds rippled and formed layers of concentric circles around the location of the explosion.

His face contorted in a grimace, his sharp Talons gleaming coldly, as he slashed toward Ba Di had not yet landed.

After escaping from underground, he launched a surprise attack.

However, from the slit eyes of Ba Di, which were already deeply buried by the tumor, a blazing red light emanated, and the Heat Vision instantly pierced through the air, rushing towards his bursting body.

The powerful Heat Vision force sent Ba Di and Jor-El flying.

Jor-El was struck squarely in the chest by the powerful shockwave, and was propelled backward at an even greater speed, crashing into a small hill and blasting it into a large crater, sending rocks flying everywhere.

This is so sudden.

Instead of engaging him in close combat, Ba Di used his Heat Vision to knock him away.

For a moment, Jor-El grinned, his mouth clenched in disbelief. Did Ba Di know about the existence of the Golden Kryptonite? Was he going to avoid close combat? Of course not.

However, if Ba Di wants to maintain control and dictate the pace of the battle, he won't engage in aerial combat with Jor-El, which puts him at a slight disadvantage.

The Heat Vision separated Jor-El and Ba Di from each other's impact, and the moment Ba Di's foot landed, a huge crack appeared in the ground beneath his feet.

His monstrous tumor-like form, accompanied by explosive shockwaves, hurtled towards Jor-El.
