A gust of strong wind swept across the ground, kicking up countless shattered rocks and dust.
At the original site of the central area of the Alien Base, almost everything ceased to exist, wiped out by the energy tide and light waves, with the ground as a whole leveled down by one or two meters.
In the low sky.
Fearing the intruder who broke into the Alien Base, the three activated mother boxes seemed to tremble as well, the white electric light crackling around them, accelerating the trinity combination process!
Whoosh—!
The shattered rocks and dust violently rolled outwards again, as the figure, like a Sun, descended from the sky. The black Superman cape behind him fluttered, and the young man walked directly towards the three mother boxes.
Seeing the intruder about to approach the mother boxes.
"Stop! Don't take another step forward!" Steppenwolf on the ground was like an old lone wolf, his armor's steel scales bristling like fur. He pulled out a large axe from the ground with his thick right hand and charged towards Hyperspace Vincent regardless of everything!
The axe in Steppenwolf's hand was bestowed by his sovereign. It had torn through the bodies of different powerful races in the Universe, stained with the Scarlet blood of countless Amazon warriors, carrying a chilling and terrifyingly malevolent aura.
At this moment.
The axe blade was like an old lone wolf extending his sharpest Talon, descending with destructive golden electric flashes. The air, and even space, seemed to be sharply cut in two—
This was Steppenwolf's strongest, and most desperate, attack!
Facing Steppenwolf's swift and powerful pounce and slash.
It was a little too slow.
Vincent shook his head, as if somewhat disappointed by this, and swiftly raised his right hand.
Clang!!!
Despite being a clash between a metal axe blade and a fleshy hand, it produced the clang of metal. An incredibly violent gust of wind brushed back Vincent's silver hair and dark cape!
Steppenwolf's eyes widened in disbelief, seeing the sharp edge of his axe, imbued with golden lightning energy and his maximum power, firmly grasped in the young man's hand!
That was a hand whose energy and strength far surpassed his own.
"A Kryptonian? How is that possible..." Steppenwolf's eyes were filled with bursting blood vessels. He gripped the axe weapon tightly with both hands, but no matter if he pushed forward or pulled the weapon back, the axe remained fixed in Hyperspace Vincent's hand.
Keeping his right hand gripping the opponent's axe blade, his feet suddenly lifted off the ground.
Hyperspace Vincent slowly floated upwards. His silver hair and dark cape behind him fluttered wildly as he rose to about two meters in the low sky, looking down at Steppenwolf. The hand gripping the axe blade began to exert downward pressure.
It wasn't just the terrifying power transmitted from the axe.
There was also a surging divine power and bio-electric field that acted as actual pressure, thundering down upon Steppenwolf's body.
Steppenwolf's body, holding the axe handle with both hands, trembled violently. His waist continuously bent, and the steel scales on his armor bristled with a series of creaks. Suddenly, with a thud, Steppenwolf's knees gave way and he fell to the ground!
The ground cracked open like a spiderweb, and Steppenwolf's knees sank into the earth!
Feeling humiliated, Steppenwolf trembled in horror. This terrifying power, which made it impossible to even conceive of resistance, he had only witnessed in the sovereign he worshipped!
And the young man in the low sky before him, like a rising small Sun, constantly radiated white lightning, creating ripples of golden energy... At this moment.
Hyperspace Vincent suddenly coughed lightly, and a trickle of crimson blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. The blood seemed to contain abundant energy, transforming into streaks of lightning that ravaged the surrounding ground.
Steppenwolf was stunned at the sight.
Unimaginable.
The powerful being before him, rare even in the Universe, was actually—coughing blood!
Hyperspace Vincent's brows furrowed slightly. In that instant, he felt as if a spider web had snapped deep within his body.
Was this due to too much energy consumption during the previous battle and when searching for the target?
No!
Hyperspace Vincent's brain was like a supercomputer, scanning his body inside and out like a Perspective (perspective vision) physical examination, quickly arriving at an answer that even he found inconceivable.
Contrary to the reason of too much energy consumption, it was because too much energy was accumulated in his body at present!
The energy in Hyperspace Vincent's body now was about 10 to 20 percent stronger than when he first acquired the Hyperspace mode—
The growth rate of Hyperspace mode absorbing solar energy far exceeded the current rate of energy consumption.
This sounded like a good thing, like a perpetual motion machine.
However, the abundant and powerful energy within his body, unable to be expended, began to affect the perfect balance of his own body.
This was why Vincent, with his Body of Steel, would still cough blood, just as humans with excessive qi and blood might have nosebleeds.
Therefore, this also indicated that.
Once Vincent entered Hyperspace mode, he became an existence truly born for battle, requiring continuous high-intensity combat, a fierce battle that could not stop for a single second!
Otherwise, his body might be directly overcharged by solar energy!
The previous Superman could still barely fight.
Now, having flown all the way here, Hyperspace Vincent essentially consumed no energy along the way.
As for the current Steppenwolf—well, dealing with him consumed less energy than the total energy consumed during the flight here.
Hyperspace Vincent's thoughts were extremely fast, and he quickly made a judgment.
He must finish the battle quickly, resolve the mother box crisis, and then go to a place without solar energy.
Regarding this, Vincent immediately thought of Xiao Huang's Devourer Space.
Being able to enter and exit at any time through Xiao Huang, with no solar energy, and no need to worry about destroying things, it was indeed a good choice.
Thinking of this, Vincent wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand.
At this moment, Steppenwolf seemed to have caught a fleeting opportunity for a counterattack!
Steppenwolf, kneeling on the ground, suddenly released the axe handle. His tall, steel-armored body crackled with golden lightning as he swiftly lunged towards Vincent in the low sky!
Even if it meant sacrificing himself, he had to buy time for the mother boxes' trinity!
Steppenwolf's eyes flared with brilliance. At this moment, he, too, made his final decision!!
Gambling his honor, gambling his life, gambling everything to stop the intruder here!!!
And then,
There was no "then"... Steppenwolf still maintained his lunging posture. He stared blankly downwards, seeing a hand shatter the armor on his chest, penetrating his body with divine power and a force field, with the end of the fist breaking through the armor on his back.
There was no blood.
Before the blood could fall, it had already been evaporated by the high-temperature energy.
The axe fell freely to the ground beside him, embedding itself obliquely into the earth.
"My King..."
Steppenwolf mumbled in his old voice, a hint of unwillingness, remembrance, and then relief flashing in his eyes. Immediately, a hole melted into his chest by the scorching energy, and his body, along with the armor, collectively lost its life force and fell backward.
"This is my strongest attack right now."
Hyperspace Vincent looked at Steppenwolf's corpse on the ground and said softly.
Afterwards.
Vincent flew over Steppenwolf's corpse and landed directly in front of the three mother boxes, placing his hands on them, one left and one right.
Instead of trying to separate the three mother boxes that were about to combine, he used his maximum strength and energy to squeeze inwards!
Vincent's eyes shimmered with dazzling white divine light, like a Kryptonian deity, as his hands squeezed inwards, attempting to crush these three mother boxes together!!
