Chapter 46 - A World of Despair

Xiao Han looked at them, no pity in his eyes, only resolve.

"Since I can't save you, I'll send you to rest."

The next second…

BOOM!!!

Xiao Han instantly broke the sound barrier, his fist piercing Daredevil's chest!

Rotting internal organs burst under the impact, and the former protector of Hell's Kitchen didn't even have time to react before his head was instantly vaporized by Heat Vision.

Luke Cage roared and charged forward, his tough defense proving useless against Xiao Han.

Xiao Han grabbed his throat with one hand, slamming him hard into the ground.

BOOM!

The force was so immense that the entire street collapsed, the shockwave shattering all the buildings within a hundred meters!

Luke Cage's spine snapped, but his zombified body still twitched.

Xiao Han stomped down, and his head exploded like a watermelon.

Spider-Woman dove from the sky, her decaying webs raining down like a storm.

Xiao Han didn't even bat an eyelid. With a Bio-Field tremor, all the sticky threads instantly evaporated.

He raised his hand and unleashed a Freeze Breath, a frigid blizzard instantly encasing her in ice, before gently flicking his finger.

"Pop!"

Ice sculptures shattered, turning into ice crystals that filled the sky.

Blade moved faster than the others, his bone blade slicing through the air, aiming for Xiao Han's neck.

Without even looking back, Xiao Han grabbed his wrist and twisted it gently.

"Crack!"

The entire arm was torn off! Blade's scream was still in his throat.

Xiao Han had already pressed his face down and slammed it onto the ground, dragging him for hundreds of meters until his skull was ground to white bone.

Ghost Rider's chain wrapped around, hellfire attempting to burn Xiao Han's soul.

Xiao Han sneered, his eyes blazing with golden light. Heat Vision directly pierced through his skull, and then he crushed his skull with one hand, extinguishing the hellfire instantly.

Moon Knight launched a surprise attack from the shadows, his crescent blades aimed at Xiao Han's throat. Xiao Han didn't dodge, allowing the blade to strike his Bio-Field.

Clang!

The crescent blade shattered. Xiao Han countered with a punch, instantly caving in Moon Knight's chest. Ribs pierced through his back, and he was flung hundreds of meters, crashing into a building.

Deadpool charged forward, cackling madly, his twin blades flailing.

Xiao Han frowned and unleashed Heat Vision, slicing him in half.

But Deadpool's upper body was still crawling, muttering, "Oh, this feels great...."

Xiao Han, speechless, stomped on his head, but the healing factor was going crazy from the virus.

Yet, Xiao Han didn't give him a chance. Freeze Breath completely froze him, and then a single punch reduced him to ice fragments.

Punisher charged out from behind cover, his serrated dagger aimed at Xiao Han's back.

Xiao Han didn't even bother to turn around. With a surge of his Bio-Field, the dagger shattered instantly, and the bones in Punisher's arm fractured.

Xiao Han glanced back at him, then unleashed his Heat Vision, turning the former Avenger into ashes.

Black Bolt roared silently, his sonic scream tearing through the air. Buildings lining the street collapsed in the sonic boom.

Xiao Han remained suspended in the air, his Bio-Field completely isolating him from the shockwave.

He appeared in front of Black Bolt in an instant, plunging his hand into his chest and crushing his heart.

Red Hulk charged in like a runaway train, the ground trembling beneath his feet.

Xiao Han shook his head, not dodging, and threw a punch of his own.

Boom!!!

Two immense forces collided, and the shockwave instantly leveled all structures within a few kilometers!

Red Hulk's arm bones shattered inch by inch. Xiao Han's second punch directly pierced his chest, crushing his still-beating heart.

The battle began…

And ended a few seconds later.

Xiao Han stood amongst the wreckage, his black armor spotless. His enhanced hearing picked up the situation above.

"It's one after another…"

Before he could finish speaking, the sky suddenly split open!

Boom!

A cosmic energy blast descended from the sky. Xiao Han, having anticipated this, dodged instantly.

He slowly looked up, gazing at the figure hovering high above.

The red cape was billowing in the wind, and the golden emblem on his chest was visible. The grotesque face bore traces of dried blood at the corners of the mouth.

"Hyperion."

This universe's fake Superman, who should have been a hero, had become a creature more terrifying than a zombie.

"Hungry... so hungry..."

Hyperion's voice was like sandpaper, and inhuman growls rumbled in his throat.

His eyes were blood red, muscles bulging to the point of distortion, and ominous black veins wriggling beneath his skin.

Xiao Han didn't waste any words, immediately accelerating and rocketing into the sky!

"BOOM!!!"

The two men's fists collided at an altitude of a thousand meters, the shockwave instantly shattering the nearby clouds!

Hyperion was knocked back hundreds of meters by the blow, but he forcefully stopped himself mid-air, a grin spreading across his face as he wiped away the blood from his mouth.

"Interesting... Your flesh... is more delicious than theirs!"

Xiao Han frowned slightly. This guy's strength was even greater than anticipated, seemingly enhanced after the mutation.

He decided to test him.

Hyperion suddenly spread his arms, and a strange energy vortex appeared on his chest, absorbing all of Xiao Han's tentative Heat Vision!

"Hahaha! Energy? I can eat it!"

Xiao Han was expressionless. His figure vanished in an instant, reappearing behind Hyperion. He delivered a whip kick to his spine!

Boom!

Hyperion slammed into the ground like a cannonball, but he burst out of the earth the next second, faster than before!

His fist, laden with cosmic energy, smashed towards Xiao Han's face.

Xiao Han didn't dodge. He met the blow with a punch of his own!

Dong!!!

This time, the two were evenly matched. Xiao Han hadn't used his full strength, but Hyperion's power was clearly stronger than before.

"The mutation has enhanced his cells."

A spark of interest flickered in Xiao Han's eyes. "Looks like we can play a little longer."

Hyperion roared with laughter and lunged forward. The two engaged in a frenzied battle high in the sky!

Each collision triggered a sonic boom, and the city ruins below were repeatedly flattened by the aftershocks.

Xiao Han deliberately restrained his power, testing his opponent's limits.

After thirty rounds, the conclusion was clear.

His strength was approaching 70% of his current level, but Xiao Han was continuously getting stronger.

Energy absorption has a limit, self-healing speed is slightly inferior to Hulk's, and the combat IQ is low.

"Enough playing around."

Xiao Han suddenly changed his move, his hands quickly forming seals, and a golden magic array bloomed in the void!

"Mirror Cage!"

Several magic arrays immediately converged, imprisoning Hyperion within a cubic space. He frantically slammed against the barriers, but only managed to make the runes flicker slightly.

"Useless trash!"

Hyperion roared, the energy vortex in his chest surging, "Watch me swallow this broken cage!"

This was the moment Xiao Han had been waiting for.

"Soul Burn."

His eyes blazed with golden light. Heat Vision was no longer a physical attack, but rather fused with Kamar-Taj's soul magic, directly piercing Hyperion's body and burning his soul!

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

Hyperion let out a scream unlike any he had made before, clutching his head and kneeling in the void.

Black mist seeped from his orifices; it was his soul, twisted by the virus.

Xiao Han pressed his advantage, slamming a palm down on Hyperion's head.

"Soul Severing Curse!"

"Bang."

A soft sound echoed, and a translucent soul was forcibly ejected from its body!

Hyperion's soul looked around in a daze, seeing his mutated body still roaring within the cage, seeing the city in ruins, and finally, looking at Xiao Han.

"What...have I done?"

His soul trembled, memories flooding back like a tide. The civilians he had devoured, the comrades he had torn apart.

"No...no!!!"

He knelt in the void, his soul rippling with a bloody hue.

Xiao Han watched him quietly: "The virus amplified your hunger, but the choice to devour your own kind was yours."

Hyperion raised his head, his eyes filled with despair: "Kill me...please...don't let me go back to that body..."

Xiao Han nodded, raising his hand to gather solar flare-level energy: "Rest in peace."

The searing white sphere engulfed Hyperion's soul and body, reducing them to ashes in purification.

A gentle breeze swept through, scattering the last vestiges of dust into the sunset.

"A world of despair."
