The light was so brilliant it illuminated the entire dark starfield.
Wherever the River of Destruction passed, space warped and asteroids vaporized.
Before such overwhelming power, Homelander's tiny figure looked like a speck of dust.
But that speck of dust shone brighter than an exploding star.
His eyes had become two blazing suns.
"Come on, Ego."
He bared his teeth in a silent roar.
Hiss!
Two crimson beams merged into one, swelling enormously the instant they left his eyes!
Heat Vision surged through the void, becoming a scarlet torrent dozens of kilometers wide!
It still looked slender beside Ego's beam, which was over a hundred kilometers across. But the energy packed into that red light was terrifyingly dense.

The livestream shook violently, static flickering across the screen.
When the picture cleared,

Every viewer's heart was in their throat.
They watched that figure, so small before the ocean
