Chapter 439 - 438: Vomits Blood After a Beating

The corrupted Superman still retained a sliver of awareness. But the moment he saw Fenric’s taunting gesture—the casual hook of a finger—his eyes blazed with fury. With a roar, he launched forward like a streak of lightning.

Whoosh!

The sound of the air being torn apart rang in everyone’s ears.

Superman’s figure appeared before Fenric in less than a heartbeat, his speed utterly beyond human comprehension. Even someone like Wonder Woman had no time to react.

But Fenric, clad in his awakened Indestructible Demon Body, could.

The immortal body didn’t just multiply his strength fivefold—it multiplied his agility as well.

His original agility stat of 365 points had skyrocketed to 1825. That was more than one hundred and eighty times faster than any ordinary human.

In this state, even bullets crawled through the air in Fenric’s vision.

So when Superman lunged, Fenric was already prepared. He clenched his fist, white vapor curling around it, ready to strike.

Their fists met.

BOOM!!!

The collision shook the world. The ground beneath Fenric’s feet gave way, collapsing into a massive crater.

CRACK—!

The sheer force split the air itself. Space warped, briefly forming a flickering black hole before snapping shut again.

And then came the true destruction.

A shockwave of impossible scale erupted from the clash, spreading in every direction. Time and space seemed to twist. Rage-filled winds tore across the battlefield.

Batman and Flash were thrown off their feet, sent tumbling through the air. Only Wonder Woman and Cyborg managed to hold their ground, their expressions grim.

But the battle wasn’t done.

BOOM—!!!

The earth shook violently, a chain of earthquakes rippling for hundreds of miles. Even the void trembled. This was just the leakage of Fenric’s shockwave—an accident—and it was enough to terrify gods.

Superman, however, had taken the punch head-on.

His demonic visage twisted in pain. Even with a body of steel, the damage tore through him. The shock tore apart his insides, leaving him reeling.

Then the backlash hit.

The counterforce surged through him like a tidal wave. Superman’s body rocketed backward at impossible speed.

PFFFT!

Blood burst from his mouth mid-flight, crimson mist scattering in the air.

Though his body was unbreakable, his internal organs weren’t so invincible. The shock had ravaged him from within.

In an instant, Superman was gone from sight, blasted so far into the distance he vanished beyond the horizon.

"..."

Silence fell.

Batman, Diana, Flash, and Cyborg could only stare at the devastation around them. The ground was shattered, buildings reduced to rubble, the battlefield transformed into an apocalyptic wasteland.

And all from one exchange.

They had just witnessed the impossible—Superman, the indomitable Man of Steel, vomiting blood after being struck down by Fenric.

Flash swallowed hard. "Oh man... good thing I never said anything bad about Mr. Ronan..."

Diana’s lips parted slightly, her heart trembling. At last, she understood—when she had crossed blades with Fenric before, he had been merciful. Terrifyingly merciful.

"Ronan," she whispered, eyes locked on him. "So this... this is your true power."

Batman said nothing. He stared at the ruins, his expression ashen.

If one punch could do this much damage to the earth, what would happen if Fenric lost control? Superman had always been his greatest fear—Kryptonian power running wild. That was why he kept kryptonite, just in case.

But now... there was someone even more terrifying than Clark Kent.

If Fenric decided to unleash his full power on the ground, the earth itself might not withstand it.

Batman’s fists clenched. He doubted humanity had the strength to contain monsters like this.

Still, there was no denying the truth. With Fenric on their side, the odds of stopping Steppenwolf had soared.

"Why are you all standing around?"

Fenric’s calm voice pulled them back.

He turned to the League and said evenly, "The Mother Boxes are ahead. I’ll handle Steppenwolf. You focus on separating them."

No one argued.

Fenric crouched, muscles coiling, then shot into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was above the corrupted stronghold where Steppenwolf hid.

He didn’t hesitate.

From above, he threw a punch.

BOOM—!!!

The strike ripped reality apart. Space shattered like glass, cracks spreading outward in spiderweb patterns. The air screamed, the earth trembled, and molten magma erupted from deep underground.

The League stared in horror.

"W-what the hell is happening? Is this the end of the world?!" Flash shouted, his voice cracking.

Cyborg’s eyes widened. "This... this is beyond physics. What kind of ability is that?!"

Batman’s face turned pale. "Damn it... does he intend to bring down the entire planet?"

Even Diana felt her chest tighten. The sheer force made her believe, if only for a moment, that the world itself was about to be destroyed.

One punch—and reality itself trembled.

The massive fortress below Fenric disintegrated instantly. Reinforced steel and stone turned to dust. Every demon inside was annihilated without a trace.

The battlefield was silent, save for the roar of the earth itself.
