After that earth-shattering roar, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Centered on Kara and Darkseid, everything within a radius of dozens of miles was razed to the ground.
Whether it was the ferocious Parademons, the colossal Doomsday, or the remnants of Apokolips ' war fortresses, they were all reduced to the most basic particles under that pure physical impact.
An excessively clean, circular clearing appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Then, the deathly silence was broken once again.
Kara and Darkseid vanished from their spots, and the next second, their fists had already collided hundreds of times in mid-air.
Each collision was accompanied by the groans of space and blinding flashes of energy.
They exchanged punches, without any fancy techniques, just the most primitive and savage clash of strength.
boom!
The Heat Vision and the Omega Beams intersected once more, and the two destructive energies tore a massive rift in the air, revealing the deep, Void universe behind them.
"She... she actually managed to fight Darkseid to this extent?" On the ground, the heroes who were lucky enough to escape the attack looked up at the gods fighting in the sky, speechless with astonishment.
Clark Kent crawled out of a pile of rubble, wiped the dust off his face, and looked at his cousin, who was even more ferocious than himself, in the sky, feeling a mix of emotions.
Once upon a time, it was Earth's last line of defense against this cosmic tyrant, but now...
He looked at Kara, whose petite frame contained an energy he could hardly imagine.
Every punch she threw carried the power to crush stars, and every Heat Vision condensed into a red spear that seemed to become tangible.
The two fought from the ground to the sky and back again; the pure clash of strength made the entire battlefield tremble.
However, the gap in combat experience ultimately exists.
Even after training by Thomas Wayne, Kara's fighting style was still too direct, full of anger and violence, and therefore lacked variety.
Darkseid, the dark lord who conquered countless universes, finally caught a fleeting opening after a series of head-on clashes.
Just as Kara threw a right hook, Darkseid didn't block. Instead, he slightly shifted his body, letting the fist graz his armor. At the same time, his rock-like hand shot out and grabbed Kara's arm.
Kara's heart tightened, and she tried to pull her hand back, but found that the other person's palm was like an iron clamp forged from divine iron, and she could not budge it at all.
Oh no!
The next second, Darkseid's other fist, carrying immense force, slammed into her abdomen.
puff--!
Kara's body arched like a shrimp, and she spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
She felt as if her internal organs had been exploded by a Nova.
Darkseid gave her no chance to catch her breath, grabbed her arm, swung her up, and slammed her heavily to the ground!
Boom!
The earth was smashed into a bottomless crater.
" Kara!" Clark could no longer care about the difference in strength. He roared and transformed into a streak of light as he charged forward.
He channeled all his strength into a punch, which landed squarely on Darkseid's head with a dull thud.
However, Darkseid merely shook his head slightly, without even turning around.
He slapped it away with his backhand, the movement as casual as shooing away a fly.
Snap!
Clark didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying, carving a deep trench tens of meters into the ground before embedding himself deep into a mountain, his fate unknown.
"A painless attack." Darkseid commented indifferently, then raised his foot, preparing to stomp on the Kara in the giant pit and end this Kryptonian dared to provoke him.
Hey! You ugly stone head! Look this way!
A golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck Darkseid hard on the back.
It's Shazam!
He was bathed in the divine power and lightning bestowed upon him by Thor, and his aura was stronger than ever before.
Although the attack failed to cause any real damage to Darkseid, it did manage to stop him from moving.
"Another bug." Darkseid slowly turned around, his scarlet eyes locking onto Shazam.
With this brief respite, Kara had already flown out of the pit. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, remaining silent, her dark eyes burning with an even more intense killing intent.
Shazam's arrival improved Kara's situation slightly, but only slightly.
Even when the two of them teamed up, they were still being overwhelmed by Darkseid.
But at that very moment, even more "insects" joined the battle.
"Bastard! Take this Hellfire!" Constantine, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, formed hand seals, and streaks of ghastly green flames made of sinners appeared out of Soul Stone air, coiling towards Darkseid's legs.
"He's stuck!" Zatanna's ironic spell took effect, and the space beneath Darkseid's feet instantly became incredibly viscous.
Harley Quinn Harley, carrying a Rocket modified by Poison Ivy Poison Ivy that could fire spore bombs, screamed "Take this, you big bad guy!" as she frantically pulled the trigger.
The Raven's black spirit transformed into a colossal bird that blotted out the sky, constantly harassing Darkseid's head with its sharp claws and beak.
Following closely behind were dozens of members of the League of Assassins, whose movements were strange yet synchronized.
They were all enveloped in a faint divine glow, their weapons gleaming with armor-piercing runes, as they fearlessly attacked the gaps in Darkseid's armor from every tricky angle.
Darkseid was utterly enraged.
Individually, he could wipe out these ants with a single breath.
However, the divine power they received made them exceptionally resilient and troublesome.
Magic, mental, physical, natural... all kinds of attacks came from all directions, making it impossible for him to concentrate on dealing with Kara.
On the battlefield, a strange balance has formed.
Kara, as the main attacker, confronted Darkseid head-on, while the others frantically harassed and supported him from the sidelines, effectively keeping the Dark Lord stuck in place.
On the edge of the chaotic battlefield, a lithe figure darted through the shadows.
Damian Wayne licked his chapped lips, staring intently at Kanto, the New Gods assassin who had just been fighting him and was waiting for his chance to strike.
Now!
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to Darkseid, Damian made his move.
He appeared behind Kanto like a ghost, his longsword drawing a cold arc, precisely slicing through the armor on the man's neck.
His movements froze, and he turned around in disbelief, only to see a cold and young face.
Then, his body collapsed limply.
Damian flicked the blood off his knife, and without pausing for a moment, turned and disappeared into another shadow.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Aquaman Arthur Curry pinned Parademons that lunged at him to the ground with his black trident. He caught his breath and looked at his wife not far away.
Mera's lower body has been completely transformed into a grotesque mechanical snake tail, gleaming with a cold metallic light.
Each sweep of the snake's tail can wipe out a large group of enemies.
Arthur walked to her side, looked at her unfamiliar appearance, and then glanced at the devastating battle in the distance. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It seems we really are getting old."
Mera manipulated the water, tearing several Parademons that tried to approach to shreds before calmly replying, "At least we're still alive, aren't we?"
"Yes," Arthur's gaze fell on her mechanical snake tail, forcing a smile, "And you even have a new look, quite unique."
Mera glanced at him, tapping the tip of her metal tail on the ground with a crisp sound as a response.
