Above Earth's orbit, a colossal spaceship shaped like a skull loomed like a harbinger of destruction, gazing down upon the azure planet.

David and Clark received satellite images and reports of the chaos in Metropolis from Joe El, and the two hurried back to the city from the Arctic at breakneck speed.

"To destroy the world, but spare a single city.

This is precisely Brainiac's style!"

Recalling the robots' slogan, David's eyes conveyed urgency as he streaked across the sky at hundreds of times the speed of sound.

This was an unprecedented formidable foe Earth faced, and most crucially, his home was right next to Metropolis.

"Brainiac was originally an artificial intelligence created by the planet Colu, possessing the highest level of intelligence in the universe. However, after an uncontrolled evolution, it turned against the scientists who created it, conquered the entire planet, and continued to evolve, evolving its own greed, envy, and hatred.

Since then, it has become a cosmic collector, delighting in destroying civilizations and selecting a favored city to shrink and keep as a collectible."

As David recalled information about Brainiac, the thriving city skyline appeared on the horizon, but suddenly, an astonishing green light cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, engulfing the entire Metropolis.

The two hastily stopped, watching the shocking scene unfold.

A pillar of light enveloped the entire city.@@novelbin@@

When the blinding light dissipated, the earth was scarred with a vast and grotesque wound, the bridges leading out of Metropolis were fractured, and the underground drainage system lay exposed to the air.

A city spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers vanished into thin air.

"Metropolis is... gone!"

Clark gaped in disbelief at what he saw, his eyes filled with profound shock.

"No, Metropolis is still there, just smaller."

David frowned and pointed towards the very center of the crater.
