Seeing this, Hawkman beat his wings and dove again.
The mace in his hand erupted with a dazzling aura of energy, hammering Black Adam's chest and cheeks in an unbroken barrage.
Every impact unleashed a deafening metallic boom, the violent force even sending Adam flying thousands of meters.
To outside observers, the two members of the Justice Society seemed to hold a firm advantage, keeping this ancient brute completely suppressed.
But that was not the case.
Battered by Hawkman's storm of heavy blows, Black Adam, bound in magical chains, showed not the slightest pain. Instead, his cold eyes grew utterly dark.
He turned his head, letting a heavy blow from Hawkman's mace smash into his cheek, his neck barely tilting.
