Homelander Was Just a Little Bug

"Bro, got anything else? My lower back's been a little sore lately. Mind working it over for me?"

Lu Heng brushed the stone dust off the force field on his shoulder, turned around, and stuck out his huge ass.

Farid gritted his teeth.

Impossible!!

The rock layers underground were made of incredibly hard materials. How could they have failed to even scratch his opponent?

Absolutely impossible!

Farid waved both hands again. The entire wall closed in from all sides, like a giant clenching its fist, ready to crush Lu Heng into a meat patty.

The space kept shrinking.

Lu Heng was trapped inside a stone cage that grew smaller and smaller.

Farid's face twisted into a grimace. This wasn't easy for him to pull off.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and blood began to seep from his nostrils.

He'd brought every rock layer he could control within a radius of five hundred meters crashing down on Lu Heng.

The pressure of this attack surpassed the water pressure at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.

It was enough to crush diamonds into powder.

Crack, crack!

Farid suddenly froze.

Lu Heng was simply standing in the middle of the stone walls, arms spread wide.

That one simple movement was enough to stop the walls from advancing another inch.

"Your turn's over. Now it's my turn!"

Lu Heng tensed his hands ever so slightly.

Boom!!!

The stone cage exploded from within.

Rubble shot in every direction, like a bomb going off in an enclosed space. Farid was right next to it and was immediately blasted away by the shock wave, slamming hard into the cavern's ceiling.

He slid down the wall and crashed to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The blow had badly damaged his internal organs.

Lu Heng hovered in place, his arm muscles bulging.

Yet his clothes didn't have a single wrinkle!

Farid pushed himself up off the ground. Blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of fear gradually crept into his shocked eyes.

What kind of Power was this?!

"Good... good..."

Farid's laughter echoed through the enclosed space.

"If I can't kill you..."

He spread his arms wide.

"Then we'll die here together!!!"

The entire underground city began to shake. Rubble rained from the ceiling, and the once-stable underground structure started collapsing piece by piece.

Above ground.

An oil rig collapsed with a deafening crash, and the dunes rolled like waves.

Cate and Jordan had only just retreated to the entrance when the building behind them came crashing down.

The reporters aboard the helicopter sensed something was wrong.

The entire earth beneath them was shifting.

"An earthquake! It's an earthquake!"

The reporter screamed.

The cameraman's lens caught a horrifying sight: the desert surface across several kilometers was rolling like waves pulled by the tide, cracks spreading across the ground like a spiderweb.

"Everyone, evacuate! Evacuate now!"

The helicopter began climbing higher.

This kind of shaking could easily trigger a sandstorm, putting the helicopter at risk of crashing.

What a terrifying aftershock from their battle. Was this what Farid was capable of?

Could it be that Guardian was...

The viewers watching the scene live all covered their mouths.

Terrain that terrifying could become the grave of any superhuman. Was Guardian, the symbol of America's "justice" eagle, about to fall here?

Even a gorgeous young woman with a 36D bust couldn't help closing her eyes.

One hundred and fifty meters underground.

Farid stood in the center of the cavern, arms spread wide like a martyr.

The statue behind him collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Blood seeped from his nose, ears, and the corners of his eyes.

This was the price of overusing his ability.

"Do you think I stayed because I couldn't run? Whoever wins today, I want America to see the power Allah's followers possess."

Lu Heng raised his right hand, fingers together.

The same supermodel hand chop.

He took a step forward and crossed thirty meters in an instant, appearing in front of Farid.

Farid's eyes widened. That hand chop looked so slow.

All he had to do was shift slightly to the side.

Just a little.

It would be easy to...

Shhk—

Bro thought he'd dodged the attack, but in reality, his brain was playing his life before his eyes.

Farid's body split down the middle.

A perfect straight line, cut from the top of his head to his crotch.

The cut had been so fast that the blood vessels were instantly carbonized and sealed. Farid fell to the ground, eyes still open.

Tucked in for good!

The passage stopped closing, but the underground structure had already been damaged, and the entire bunker was starting to collapse. Lu Heng shot straight upward.

He didn't need to find an exit. His body was the drill, and with the help of his Omega Beams, he easily bored a tunnel.

Cate and Jordan had reached the surface.

The desert beneath their feet stopped shifting, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Did this mean Guardian's battle was over?

Then who had won?

"Get farther back," Lu Heng's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Guardian, you're still alive?"

Jordan blurted out the question, leaving Lu Heng speechless.

"Kid, I'm not trying to crush your dreams, but you'll never have a shot at becoming president."

Cate looked delighted.

"You're here, so Farid..."

"Yeah. He sacrificed himself to Allah."

The same kind of fervor appeared on both Cate and Jordan's faces.

My boss is freaking amazing!

With all that commotion, the two of them had thought the end of the world was coming. But Guardian hadn't even gotten a scratch?

Magnificent!!

The helicopter climbed to a safe altitude, but its telephoto lens remained trained on Lu Heng. The global livestream was still going.

Only this time, the reporter didn't dare say a word.

In her panic, she'd accidentally said "Fuck" about Guardian.

Lu Heng hovered in midair.

Beneath him lay the cratered desert.

There should still be a stockpile of weapons hidden in Farid's shelter. Edgar didn't want to leave any evidence behind, so Lu Heng might as well take care of everything at once.

Lu Heng's eyes glowed red.

Omega Beams!

His beams didn't travel in a straight line. They zigzagged forward, and the beams were far thicker than Homelander's, blasting straight into the desert surface.

First layer!

Second layer!

Third layer!

They pierced all the way down to a depth of two hundred meters. The rock was baked into magma, and even the surrounding metal supports vaporized.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions rumbled underground as the heat detonated the huge stockpile of explosives Farid had hoarded.

A gigantic crater appeared in the middle of the desert, its diameter growing by the second.

Lu Heng turned his head, sweeping his beams across the entire area covered by the network of shelters.

From south to north, east to west.

Like slicing through one damn cake.

The Omega Beams pierced every underground space within a one-kilometer radius.

Sand and dust surged into the sky.

Aboard the helicopter.

The reporter was speechless. The cameraman kept his hands on the camera purely by instinct. This footage would become one of the most shocking images in human history.

One man had wiped out an entire underground city with energy beams.

Could anything be crazier than that?

Compared to Guardian, Homelander was just a little bug!
