Chapter 337 Superman VS Homelander

Chapter 337 Superman VS Homelander

A few hours ago.

Clark looked down at the man who was looking down at him. The man's eyes were filled with coldness, arrogance, anger, and a condescending contempt.

"Another me?" He slowly descended, landing about thirty meters away from Superman. "How interesting. Is this a low-quality clone cultivated by my partner?"

The next second, Homelander transformed into a blue-red afterimage, spinning wildly around Clark. This was an ability Brainiac had developed for him, since Brainiac needed Homelander to maintain basic stability among humans on the ground and provide stable social conditions for the production of Compound V, which would naturally enhance Homelander's strength.

Homelander's rotation speed was enough to compress the air into a plasma state, and in his understanding, any carbon-based life form caught in it would be torn into atoms.

However, Clark simply closed his eyes.

This wasn't Clark giving up resistance; rather, he was focusing all his efforts on sensing his opponent's movements. In the Kryptonians' awakened super-sensory perception, Homelander's movements appeared as chaotic as a child's scribbles. But they weren't entirely untraceable. Clark suppressed his anger, silently chanted something, and then suddenly struck, his punch landing squarely on Homelander's eye socket.

"Damn it!"

Homelander was sent flying and crashed into one of Manhattan's landmark buildings—the Chrysler Building. Fragments of concrete, alloy, and glass shot out instantly. Fortunately, the ordinary people had already noticed the battle in New Hope City and found a place to hide; otherwise, it's hard to say how many people would have been injured by that attack.

An enraged Homelander flew out of the wreckage, staring intently at Clark. He then turned and pulled up the massive lightning rod atop the building. The stainless steel rod, weighing tens of tons, was like a plastic toy in his hands. He then raised the tip and slammed it down at the oncoming Clark at Mach 0.7!

After Clark collided with the lightning rod, the massive shockwave blew away all the glass within a five-kilometer radius. Screams from ordinary people filled the air. But when the smoke cleared, Clark was holding up the deformed stainless steel structure with one hand and holding Homelander's hand with the other.

Clearly, Homelander's real attack wasn't the lightning rod, but his own fist. However, when he saw his fist being blocked, Homelander was quite incredulous. In his perception, the opponent's hand was as hard and unshakeable as steel, which was simply unbelievable.

No one could stop his full-force attack, no one!

"Do you understand? Nobody's here—"

Clark glared angrily at the so-called "superhero" in front of him who cared nothing for the lives of ordinary people and only cared about himself. He had initially found it hard to believe when he heard Rune's description of Homelander, but seeing his unbridled behavior just now, Clark completely believed Rune's words.

Yes, when has Rune ever lied to himself?

"It seems," Clark's power was increasing with his will, and as he clenched his fist, a sound like ceramic cracking came from Homelander's palm, "that you're using all your power in the wrong place. Tell me, how many ordinary people have you killed?"

Homelander grinned broadly: "Then let me ask you, can you remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?"

Superman was stunned for a moment, then Homelander suddenly headbutted the other man's jaw, knocking out two teeth instantly. However, Superman just shook his head, while Homelander's skull developed spiderweb-like cracks.

In terms of physical strength, Homelander was utterly defeated, even after resorting to underhanded tactics. However, if he had chosen to fight Superman fairly from the start, the battle wouldn't have been so one-sided. Although Superman was enhanced by God once, without a strong will, the two would currently be evenly matched.

Unfortunately, Homelander would never willingly fight Superman, a character with comparable or even greater abilities. Homelander would use every means to protect his title as the world's strongest. And this, in turn, would grant Superman the power of will, a power that would even allow him in the future to unleash a punch that could tear through dimensions.

Superman released his opponent and then, with all his might, struck Homelander hard in the chest. The leader of New Hope City was instantly sent flying. The high temperature generated by the friction with the air even scorched Homelander's protective suit, making him look abnormally wolfish. But this was not the end. Clark, still enraged, fired his heat vision.

That's my power! That damned guy! He stole my things and then used them to attack me!

Homelander was furious. He was enraged and convinced that Clark was just a clone of Homelander created by his "partner." Look at him: super strength, super defense, and heat vision. Oh, and flight! Who else but himself could possess all these abilities?

But deep down, Homelander harbors a deep-seated fear: Could it be that his hidden superhuman forces angered his "partners," leading them to release a clone of himself to replace him?

Yes, that must be it!

Homelander also unleashed his heat vision, both beams resembling erupting volcanic lava, ionizing the air into purple plasma wherever they passed. However, Superman's beam was a more beautiful golden-red, with a corona-like halo at the edges. This heat vision even dispelled the clouds overhead, allowing sunlight to shine upon Clark's body, making him look like a hero from Greek mythology.

"No, this is impossible!" Homelander stared at the beam of light he was using all his strength to suppress, his capillaries around his eyes bursting one after another. "Impossible! Vought International measured it! My thermal vision temperature—"

"Enough!" Clark roared angrily, "A man like you should have his limbs broken and spend the rest of his life in prison!"

This was the most vicious method of execution he could think of.

Under the sunlight, Clark's thermal vision overwhelmed the other side with an overwhelming advantage, and the scorching beam of light directly struck Homelander, who let out a piercing scream.

Finally, he screamed and fell into the Hudson River. As soon as Homelander's body touched the water, the water evaporated into a large amount of mist due to the intense heat of Homelander's body.

Clark flew over personally and brought the wolf-fox out. Homelander's suit was already tattered, and most of his body hair had been destroyed by Clark's heat vision.

"Are you going to back out?"

Homelander simply smiled coldly: "I haven't lost yet!"

He still has a backup plan!

After saying that, Homelander punched his chest hard. Clark looked at him strangely, while Homelander ignored Superman's reaction and shouted, "Kill everyone in New Hope City!"

After saying that, the people of the motherland burst into laughter.
