"Brother, got any more? My lower back has been aching lately, could you help me work it out?"

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

Farid gritted his teeth.

Impossible!!

The rock strata underground were composed of extremely hard material; how could he not even scratch the guy's skin?

Absolutely impossible!

Farid waved his hands again, and the entire wall closed in toward the center, like a giant clenching its fist, intent on crushing Lu Heng into a meat patty.

The space kept shrinking.

Lu Heng was encased in an increasingly smaller rock cage.

Farid's face was twisted in a grimace; for him, this was no easy feat.

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

He had compressed every layer of rock he could mobilize within a five-hundred-meter radius.

The pressure of this strike exceeded the water pressure at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.

It was enough to crush a diamond into powder.

Crack, crack!

Farid suddenly froze.

Lu Heng simply stood in the middle of the stone walls and spread his arms.

With just that simple movement, the rock walls could not advance even half an inch.

"Your turn is over; now it's my turn!"

Lu Heng exerted a little force with his hands.

BOOM!!!

The rock cage exploded from the inside.

Debris flew in all directions like a bomb detonating in a confined space. Farid, being at close range, was immediately sent flying by the shockwave, slamming heavily into the rock wall of the dome.

He slid down the wall, fell to the ground, and couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

This blow had severely damaged his internal organs.

Lu Heng hovered in place, his arm muscles bulging.

Yet, there wasn't even a single wrinkle on his clothes!

Farid pushed himself up from the ground, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth. In his shocked eyes, a hint of fear began to emerge.

What kind of power is this!

"Good... good..."

Farid's laughter echoed through the confined space.

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

He spread his arms wide.

"Then let's die together here!!!"

The entire underground city began to shake. Debris fell continuously from the dome, and the once-stable underground structure began to collapse inch by inch.

On the surface.

A drilling platform collapsed with a roar, and the sand dunes churned like ocean waves.

Cate and Jordan had just retreated to the entrance when the building behind them crumbled into ruins.

The reporter in the helicopter sensed something was wrong.

The entire earth beneath their feet was undulating.

"An earthquake! It's an earthquake!"

The reporter let out a scream.

The cameraman's lens captured a terrifying scene: the desert surface for several kilometers around was like waves pulled by a tide, with cracks spreading across the ground like a spiderweb.

"Everyone evacuate! Evacuate immediately!"

The helicopter began to gain altitude.

Such tremors could easily trigger a Sandstorm, and the helicopter risked crashing if that happened.

What terrifying combat aftermath; is this the power of Farid?

I fear that the Guardian this time...

Viewers watching the live broadcast covered their mouths in shock.

Such a terrifying terrain was enough to become the grave of any superhuman. Was the Guardian, the symbol of America's "justice" eagle, about to fall here?

Even the beautiful young woman with 36D breasts couldn't help but close her eyes.

One hundred and fifty meters underground.

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

The statue behind him collapsed with a thunderous roar.

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

This was the price of overusing his abilities.

"You think I didn't run? No matter who wins or loses today, I want America to see clearly what kind of power the followers of Allah truly possess."

Lu Heng raised his right hand, fingers pressed together.

Still the overpowered hand-blade.

He took a step forward, instantly covering thirty meters to appear right in front of Farid.

Farid's eyes widened; that hand-blade looked so slow.

If he just shifted slightly.

Just a little.

He could easily...

Sshhh—

Bro thought he had dodged the attack, but in reality, his brain was just playing his life's highlight reel.

Farid's body split right down the middle.

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

Because the speed was so fast, the blood vessels on the cut surface were instantly carbonized and sealed. Farid fell to the ground, his eyes still wide open.

He was put to sleep!

The contracting tunnel stopped closing, but because the underground structure had been compromised, the entire bunker began to collapse, and Lu Heng shot straight up into the sky.

He didn't need to look for an exit; his own body was a drill, and combined with his Omega Beams, he easily punched a hole right out.

Cate and Jordan had already reached the surface.

The desert beneath their feet stopped churning, and cold sweat beaded on their foreheads.

Did this mean the Guardian's battle was over?

And if so, who had won?

"You two, move back," Lu Heng's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Guardian, you're not dead?"

Jordan's impulsive remark made Lu Heng lose his composure on the spot.

"Kid, I don't mean to crush your dreams, but you're definitely never going to be president."

Cate looked overjoyed.

"If you're here, then Farid..."

"Mm, he's dedicated himself to Allah."

A look of fanaticism appeared on both Cate and Jordan's faces simultaneously.

My boss is just too awesome!

With such a massive commotion, the two of them had thought the apocalypse was coming, yet the Guardian hadn't even lost a layer of skin?

Mighty!!

The helicopter climbed to a safe distance, but the telephoto lens remained fixed on Lu Heng's position, and the global broadcast continued.

Only the reporter didn't dare to speak this time.

In her panic earlier, she had accidentally let out a "fuck" at the Guardian.

Lu Heng hovered in mid-air.

Beneath his feet lay the pockmarked desert.

There was likely a cache of weapons still hidden in Farid's sanctuary; since Edgar didn't want to leave any evidence behind, he might as well take care of it all at once.

Lu Heng's eyes ignited with a crimson glow.

Omega Beams!

His beams didn't travel in a straight line but zigzagged forward, the pillars of light far thicker than Homelander's, slamming directly into the desert surface.

The first layer!

The second layer!

The third layer!

They pierced all the way down to a depth of two hundred meters, baking the rock into magma and vaporizing even the surrounding metal supports.

BOOM! BOOM!

A roar erupted from beneath the earth as the massive stockpile of explosives Farid had hoarded was detonated by the intense heat.

A colossal crater immediately appeared in the center of the desert, its diameter expanding rapidly.

Lu Heng turned his head, letting the beams sweep across the entire network of the sanctuary.

From south to north, from east to west.

Like slicing a damn cake.

The underground space within a one-kilometer radius was completely pierced through by the Omega Beams.

Dust and sand surged into the sky.

Aboard the helicopter.

The reporter was left speechless, while the cameraman operated his equipment purely on instinct; this footage would become one of the most shocking images in human history.

A single person, using energy beams, had erased an entire underground city.

Could anything be more insane than this?

Compared to the Guardian, Homelander was nothing but a joke!
