Injured Clark lay on the ground, watching the fierce battle unfold before him, his heart pounding with tension, sweat beading on his forehead.

It was no exaggeration to say that not only the fate of Metropolis but that of the entire Earth hinged on this battle.@@novelbin@@

Seeing David and Brainiac initially evenly matched, Clark's heart was filled with worry, for he knew that David did not possess Brainiac's formidable regenerative abilities, and his injuries would continue to accumulate.

If the fight continued this way, the scales of victory would likely tip in Brainiac's favor.

But unexpectedly, David grew stronger as the battle raged on, completely overpowering Brainiac.

Blood rained from the sky as Brainiac's chest caved in, his towering frame sent flying by David's blows. David, surrounded by a purple aura, appeared like a deity born from the heart of a star, his presence awe-inspiring.

"This technologically barren planet harbors a being like you."

Coughing up blood, Brainiac was relentlessly pushed back by David's searing gaze, his arms burning with excruciating pain, causing his brows to twitch.

"I detest surprises, but I'll make an exception this time."

His arms burned to the point of flesh peeling off, emitting a charred scent.

David launched his fist forward, compressing the air into a tangible shockwave that, accompanied by a fierce gale, broke through Brainiac's defensive arms.

He was about to attack again.

Brainiac's eyes hardened, and a surge of psychic power like a raging tide blasted into David's mind. David reeled as if struck by an invisible force, his head thrown back, his brain buzzing, his movements abruptly halted.

Quickly retreating, Brainiac seized the chance to breathe. New skin covered his wounds, broken bones reconnected, his injuries healing at a pace as if time were reversing.

"An invincible body." He eyed David's form with a thirst akin to hunger.

Many physically powerful extraterrestrial races crumble mentally, but David did not have this weakness. His psychic power, like a tempestuous sea, crashed against an immovable dam.

A few splashes overtopped the dam, but they caused no substantial harm.

"I really want to ask you.

How do you maintain such a superior demeanor even when at a disadvantage in battle?"
