American comics farmer: start by adopting the villain savior.

Chapter 144 Clark, you've gone too far.

"boom--!!!!!"

It was accompanied by a deafening roar far more terrifying than any before.

The ground on the side of the Iceberg Club closest to the seaside promenade suddenly arched upwards and tore apart!
Like meteorites thrown out by a volcanic eruption, the two figures, accompanied by flames, thick smoke, and countless pieces of concrete, were violently flung out of the hellish underground parking lot by the force of the massive explosion!

It crashed heavily onto the cold, wet streets of Gotham!
The two men plowed deep trenches in the ground, smashed fire hydrants by the roadside, and high-pressure water jets shot into the sky, mixing with rainwater and flames.

But almost the instant of landing…

These two inhuman beings are unkillable monsters!

Ignoring all the physical impact, they sprang up from the rubble!

"Did you see that?! Dio! Did you see it clearly?!"

Clark laughed wildly as he stood in the middle of the street.

Letting the icy rain and water sprayed from the fire hydrants soak my entire body, the heat in my eyes transforms into two fully powered searchlights, their scarlet light piercing through the rain curtain:
"This is true power! What's the use of your little dodging tricks?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he didn't even bother to look at it again. He suddenly raised his head, his burning gaze sweeping fiercely towards a brightly lit 24-hour supermarket on the side of the street!

“Zizizizi——boom!!!”

The exterior glass and reinforced concrete were instantly melted and exploded!
The massive building structure emitted a sickening groan as its upper part began to tilt and collapse!
It fell from the sky like a rain of fire, crashing down on the streets and vehicles below, causing more explosions and fires!

"You madman! Look around!"

Having narrowly avoided the falling debris, Dio's voice was hoarse with anger and exhaustion:

"Is this the result you wanted?! Uncle Jonathan will never forgive you!"

"Him? What does he know!"

Clark wouldn't listen to a word. He grabbed an overturned bus and hurled it at Dio like a stone!

"All he ever tells me to hide is to hide! And you! All you ever do is dodge and weave like a mouse!"

Dior activated Time Stop again, leaping into the air to avoid the bus in the instant it stopped, but the bus crashed through a row of luxury shops behind him!

The glass display case shattered, and the interior was completely destroyed!

"Kneel down! Dio! End this boring game of hide-and-seek!"

Clark roared, stomped his feet hard, and unleashed his super speed at full power!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, he broke the sound barrier in an instant, his body turning into a blurry afterimage.

It crashed through a stone structure on the other side of the street!

It crashed through another wall!

All that remains is a shocking human-shaped hole in the thick stone wall!

Dior's eyes were cold, and he stepped back as if time had stopped.

"Om-!"

The two then engaged in a high-speed chase through the streets of Gotham in a torrential downpour!

Wherever they went, walls were smashed through, streetlights were bent, and parked vehicles were instantly overturned!
They transformed into two tornadoes that ravaged the neighborhood!

"boom!!!"

Another unpretentious boxing match!

At the center of the collision, a visible white shockwave exploded!

"Click——!!!"

The glass windows of all buildings within a radius of several meters!

Whether it's towering office buildings or street-side shops
Everything shattered in the same instant! A huge rain of glass fell!
"Buzz-buzz-!"

Police and media helicopters finally risked their lives to reach the chaotic scene.

The blinding searchlights tried to pinpoint the two superhumans below who had caused all of this.

"This is the GCPD (Gotham Police Department)! Cease your acts of vandalism immediately! Otherwise, we will take enforcement action!"

A warning was issued through the loudspeaker on the helicopter.

However, it appeared pale and powerless.

Clark, blinded by rage, merely glanced up impatiently, then grabbed a twisted steel bar from the ground and hurled it into the air like a javelin.

"call out--!!"

The steel bars tore through the damp air, emitting a piercing scream!
"Evade! Evade quickly!"

The pilot screamed in terror and frantically pulled on the control stick!

But the steel bar had already precisely pierced the helicopter's tail fin!
The helicopter instantly lost its balance, billowing black smoke, and spun as it plummeted toward the ground!
Fortunately, the pilot and police officers ejected at the last moment and managed to open their parachutes amidst the torrential rain and flames, escaping the disaster.

Only the crashing helicopter struck the middle of the street and exploded into a huge fireball!

"Kneel down and beg for mercy, Dio!"

Bathed in the flames of the explosion, Clark descended like a demon god, walking step by step toward Dio, whose breathing was already becoming somewhat disordered. "For the sake of our brotherhood, I'll take you home to apologize to Uncle Locke!"

"Go home and apologize?"

"You're really crazy, Clark."

Dio wiped the saliva that spilled from the corner of his mouth due to the force of the impact, his eyes beneath the stone mask still cold. "I'll definitely wake you up, you complete idiot!"

"Boom!!!"

It exploded with a dull, deafening roar, like two mountains colliding!

However.
In the torrent of pure power, skill and timing ultimately have their limits.
His arm went numb and lost all feeling instantly, as a terrifying force penetrated his body, tearing at his internal organs.

"boom!"

Dior's figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string!

He crashed through three broken walls in succession, sending debris and dust flying, before finally falling heavily into the middle of the street, which was full of rubble and water, splashing up a lot of mud and water.

"waste."

Looking down at his fallen brother, Clark's voice boomed like thunder:

"I overestimated you, Dior."

"Even if you awaken these powers, you'll always be just a pathetic wretch hiding behind Uncle Locke's wings! You have no idea what true power is! What it means to be born a ruler!!!"

His gaze swept over the surrounding streets, now a sea of ​​fire and ruins, and his tone grew even colder:
"You are just like this rotten, sinful city beneath your feet."

"Stubborn, backward, and full of useless garbage!"

"They all need to be completely destroyed! And then... I will rebuild them!"

"."

Amidst the crackling of burning and the faint sound of police sirens in the distance.

A deep yet clear voice rang out, carrying an anger and disappointment that almost solidified into reality:

"Clark...how dare you...how dare you say such a thing..."

Dior
He braced himself against the cold, slippery ground, ignoring the excruciating pain coursing through his body.

He slowly stood up again.

An unprecedented sense of determination and rage erupted in his heart like a volcano!
He had never hated his brother’s depravity so clearly, nor had he ever longed for the power to shatter all this wrongdoing!

Under the frenzied catalysis of this extreme emotion, mental power surged at an unprecedented speed!

It almost broke free from the restraints on his body!
Then he poured all of it into the dark green crystal that had always been embedded in his right shoulder!

It has been sleeping ever since.

Until this moment
Under the frenzied infusion of Dior's immense and pure spiritual power!

“Buzz——!!!”

It suddenly burst forth with a chilling, ominous green light!
The light even penetrated his tattered clothes, turning everything around him into an eerie green!

A force far more dangerous, more violent, more… than before

hunger!

The power was activated instantly!
Like a giant python slumbering in the abyss suddenly opening its cold, vertical pupils and its gaping maw to devour!
This unknown force greatly enhanced Dior and "the world".

The eerie green energy coiled around the golden stand like blood vessels, making its form seem even more solid and ferocious!
But the corresponding price is...
A frenzied whisper filled with destructive desires was also assaulting Dio's mind!
Dio raised his head, and his eyes beneath the mask faintly glowed with a green light, mixed with his original scarlet.

It's even more bizarre and insane!
"I really am."

"Saigoni Hi Iron Duck Da—!"

Feeling the surging power within him, Dio couldn't help but let out a wild, unrestrained laugh, which sounded particularly jarring amidst the torrential rain and flames!
He suddenly raised his hand.

Clark instinctively tried to use his bio-force field to block the Stand attack.

But that green light
But it was extremely strange! It pierced right through him and struck him hard in the chest!
"Well--!!"

Clark trembled violently!
A wave of pain, stimulating every cell in his body, spread.
Just like the battle I fought when I was ten years old.
And now.
He felt it clearly again—

The vast and boundless power within his body was being frantically drawn out and devoured by that green light, like a flood bursting its banks!
It flows continuously to Dior!
The kryptonite glow on the shoulders of "the world" thus became even more dazzling!
"Hahahaha!"

Clark was taken aback for a moment, then burst into even more exaggerated laughter.

He spread his arms to steady himself, pointed at Dio, and mocked:
"Dio! Look at you! You're the pathetic thief! You kept saying you looked down on my power, but now you're like a begging stray dog, eagerly stealing it! Hahahaha! You're a thief! A pathetic worm only fit to steal the power of others! Hahahahahahaha!"

"Clark."

Dior's voice came through the mask, carrying a chilling, sinister laugh:

"Are you very proud?"

“THE——”

"WORLD!!!"

Time stopped abruptly!

Rain, flames, falling ashes
The whole world fell into a deathly gray silence once again!
In still time
Dio's green eyes were fixed on his brother, who maintained a mocking smile.

He needs one now.
More substantial! More impactful! More unstoppable!
Something powerful enough to completely crush, smash, and obliterate this damned brother in front of me!
His gaze suddenly swept towards the side of the street!
There…

There's a road roller lying right there! That's it!

The moment time resumes its flow——

The helicopter of Gotham City News Channel was violently turbulent in the torrential rain and rising hot air currents.

The experienced, top-notch reporter gripped the armrest tightly, his voice, trembling uncontrollably and punctuated by a professional urgency, carried throughout Gotham via the live broadcast:
“Kate! Look over there! That steamroller! It…it’s moving! My God! It’s floating! This can’t be!”

"A multi-ton industrial road roller! It's lifted off the ground! It's taking off! It defies all the laws of physics! It was that man! He's standing on it! He's on top of the road roller! He's controlling it! He's going to smash that...that madman! Holy Mary...this is practically divine retribution from the Bible!"

"Boom!!!"

Under the broadcast of the television station, and under the horrified gaze of countless people.

A massive road roller weighing several tons has been freed from its restraints!
The man, who had spread his arms wide in the sky, was slammed down like divine punishment from above!

"Lola Takizawa!"

Dior stood atop the steamroller, his eyes gleaming with madness and eerie green.

He let out his final roar as the massive object plummeted downwards:
“WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”

"No da! No da! No da! No da! No da!!!"

The road roller, with its immense force, pinned Clark down beneath it!

The collision of steel against steel produced a teeth-grinding roar!

And Dior did not stop!

He stood on the sinking road roller, his elbows pounding the steel behemoth beneath him like a pile driver!
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!!"

Under the horrified gaze of countless people!

The road roller, weighing several tons, began to twist, deform, and disintegrate!
The massive steel wheel was crushed, the chassis broke apart piece by piece, and rivets and parts were scattered everywhere!

Finally, after a series of blows exceeding the limits—

"Boom!!!"

The entire road roller was smashed into countless fragments and twisted scrap metal!

Smoke and sparks shot into the sky!

Dio's figure pierced through the scattered rain of metal, landing precisely and pinning Clark, who had just endured all the impacts, firmly to the rubble-strewn ground!

"Muda!!"

His fists didn't stop for a moment!

It slammed into Clark's face like a heavy cannonball!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One punch!
Another punch!
"No da! No da! No da! No da! No da!!!"

The world frantically drew upon Clark's vast energy, transforming it into a surging torrent of power that continuously flowed into Dio's body!

This predatory replenishment made his offensive even more ferocious, as if he had no time to spare!
And it was during this frenzied beating and extraction.
"Buzz!!!!"

A blazing, incredibly thick, golden-red heat beam suddenly erupted from beneath the wreckage of the road roller!

It didn't shoot at Dio, but instead fiercely tore through the thick, oppressive clouds over Gotham!
That destructive light transformed into the sword of God, instantly slicing a huge, burning crack in the leaden sky!

The long-awaited, brilliant light from the yellow sun!

Like a stage spotlight, it shines precisely through the gap in the clouds!

The light shone on Clark!

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Clark raised his hand and steadily caught another punch from Dio.

His face shimmered with a golden halo from the sunlight, the light flowing under his skin, quickly dispelling the weakness brought on by the kryptonite, replenishing the stolen power, and even making it surge even more!
But the violence and madness in his eyes
Yet it was not dispelled by this sacred light at all; on the contrary, it became even more intense!
“My good brother…” Clark’s voice was deep and imposing, with a twisted mockery, “You… had a good time stealing just now, didn’t you? How much did you steal? Hmm?”

He exerted his strength and easily broke free from Dio's grip, slowly standing up, the sunlight forming a dazzling halo behind him.

"This is way more valuable than the three thousand yuan of pocket money I stole from you... right? Hahahaha!"

"asshole.!"

Dio let out a cold shout, used the momentum to leap backward, and his eyes flashed with red and green light as he instantly realized that the situation had reversed!

Without hesitation, he activated Time Stop with all his might!

"THE WORLD!"

The world has turned gray again!

Seize this precious moment!
Dior unleashed his full speed!

Suddenly, he lifted up the twisted wreckage of a truck parked on the roadside and adjusted the angle!

Time to recover!

"boom!!!"

The truck, weighing several tons, was thrown out and slammed into Clark, who had just regained his mobility and was still adjusting to the power of the sun, at an astonishing speed!

He was blasted backward, crashing into a burning ruin behind him and being buried in the rubble!

But in less than half a second—

"Boom!"

The ruins exploded!

Sunlight streamed across Clark's body; the attack seemed to have caused no real damage, only adding a few specks of dust to his expensive clothes.

"boom!"

Without warning, Clark simply raised his hand and threw a punch from a distance!
A condensed, almost invisible air cannon instantly compressed and took shape, tearing through the rain curtain and striking Dio's chest with terrifying kinetic energy far exceeding the speed of sound!
"cough--!"

Dio felt an immense force that he could not resist slam into him!

It was as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train, sending him flying backwards. He crashed into a pile of still-burning ruins in the distance, even more disheveled than Clark had been!

The brickwork collapsed, instantly burying most of his body!

"Boom!!!"

The kryptonite on "The World's" shoulder seemed to deflate as well, and the power it had drawn from transformed into a runaway wild horse, raging and crashing wildly within his body!
It completely spiraled out of control due to fluctuations in the host's state!
Instead of meekly transforming into his strength, they acted like the most potent poison, assaulting his limbs and burning his nerve endings!

The intense pain almost tore his consciousness apart!

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Dio let out a low growl of suppressed pain, trying to mobilize the power of his Stand to dispel the backlash, but the dual pain in his mind and body made his power scattered and chaotic.

He struggled, but for a moment he was unable to stand up from the pile of scorching rubble.

He could only futilely support his body with his arms, breathing heavily, his eyes flashing red and green lights wildly, revealing unprecedented pain and struggle.

If his mental state becomes unstable, he will suffer the consequences!

"Dio, you have lost."

Clark said coldly, raising his hand to grab the man on the ground.

but.
"Stop it! You bastard!"

A clear and firm female voice rang out!

Elana, who appeared out of nowhere, rushed out from behind cover at the street corner and stood in front of Dio without hesitation.

He gripped a finely crafted pistol tightly in his hand, the muzzle trembling but firmly pointed at Clark!
"I won't allow you to hurt him!"

Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled the trigger!
boom! boom! boom!
Three bullets left the barrel and were fired at Clark!

But Clark didn't even blink.

When the three bullets were less than half a meter away from his body, they struck an invisible wall with a crisp sound, instantly being squeezed, deformed, and bounced away!
One of the ricochets even bounced back at an odd angle, narrowly missing Elana's fair and delicate cheek!

A thin trail of blood appeared instantly.

The crimson blood, as if it possessed a life of its own, seeped from the wound, leaping lightly in the humid air and pervasive smoke of Gotham…

As if drawn by some invisible force, it flew straight toward the mask Dio was wearing on his face…

That contains the curse…

stone.
"boom!!!!!!!"

The dark clouds were like boiling water.

Rolling and surging!

A bolt of incredibly thick and dazzling blue-white divine lightning.

It descended violently from the heavens!
"Zi——!"

A very brief, sharp cry.

The blood droplets were instantly vaporized and evaporated without a trace!
The thunderbolt, still raging, slammed heavily into the open ground in front of Dio and Elana, blasting a charred crater. The flying debris and electric current caused Elana to instinctively throw herself on Dio to shield him.

"It's you."

A flash of instinctive terror crossed Clark's face.

Amidst the billowing smoke and swirling arcs of electricity…

A tall, imposing figure, filled with rolling thunder and endless rage!
It descended slowly from the lingering lightning.

He stood on scorched earth, with dangerous arcs of electricity crackling around him.

His eyes held a storm, his gaze fixed firmly on his reckless nephew.

It's Locke.
He arrived.

“Clark…”

Locke's voice was deep and thunderous, rolling across the deathly silent streets.

"I'm really going to give you a good beating now."
