In an instant, Alex absorbed the energy beam that could pierce through planets without feeling any sense of swelling or overload. With all the amplifications, he was no longer the weakling who would reach his limit after absorbing the energy of a single nuclear bomb.

After effortlessly blocking the planetary destruction cannon, Alex warped the space around him, connecting it to a distant area and disappearing from his original spot. He reappeared in front of an elderly woman with a twisted expression.

By her appearance alone, Alex recognized her immediately. Among the high-ranking members of Apokolips, there was only one old woman who held such authority—Granny Goodness.

Despite her name, Granny Goodness was anything but kind. She was the commander of Apokolips' special forces, including the Furies she had trained personally.

Realizing Alex had appeared out of nowhere, Granny Goodness panicked and fired her energy weapon at him, but if even a planet-destroying cannon couldn't harm Alex, what hope did a mere energy weapon have?

Alex barely spared Granny Goodness a glance. With a casual wave of his hand, a powerful repulsion force crushed her, splattering her bones and flesh against the walls before they slowly oozed down.

Granny Goodness, commander of Apokolips' special forces, was dead!

Alex then made his way toward the core area—the heart of the city's defense system. Once it was destroyed, his domain would no longer be disrupted, and he could fully activate his field to envelop the entire planet and end the battle quickly.

But he didn't teleport this time. Instead, he walked leisurely, intending to savor the journey, knowing the outcome was already decided.

Several figures rushed toward him, trying to stop him from reaching the core. Each one of these beings was powerful enough to instill fear across the universe: Kanto, the master assassin and greatest fighter, the green titan wielding a blazing staff, and Darkseid's tactician, Verman Vundabar, among others—all attacking Alex together.

Any one of them could destroy a planet with ease, yet now, they showed no sign of relaxation as they combined forces. They were up against the most powerful enemy they had ever faced, a monster capable of destroying planets in seconds if not stopped.

They launched their combined assault—fists breaking the sound barrier dozens of times over, searing energy beams, and sharp blades aimed at Alex from every angle—but their attacks stopped dead in the air fifty meters away from him.

"What kind of power is this?" Kanto could feel the invisible barrier blocking their combined attack. His hands trembled violently from the force he exerted.

He had killed countless powerful beings with his dagger, even some capable of fighting him for extended periods, but never had he encountered a situation where he couldn't even approach his enemy!

And it wasn't just him. This was the combined assault of multiple high-level entities, yet their attack had been effortlessly neutralized.

Realizing that the enemy before them was far beyond anything they had ever faced, Kanto adjusted his grip, ensuring the sweat from his fingers wouldn't interfere with his strikes. He steadied himself and shouted, "Everyone, go all out, or we'll die!"

They all nodded in grim agreement, fully aware of the severity of the situation. They unleashed their full power, relentlessly attacking Alex.

But no matter how hard they tried, their attacks remained useless.

Though Alex was physically smaller than any of them, he stood like a towering mountain, casting a suffocating shadow over them, making it difficult to even breathe.

With a smile, Alex raised his hand and mimicked the gesture of drawing a bow.

Around him, vectors responded to his will, converging rapidly to form a vector axis. The immense power fused together, twisting the surrounding space and growing even stronger—ten times stronger than its initial state.

As the vector axis formed, alarms blared from the lab far away:

"Warning, warning, a massive energy source has been detected. Evacuate immediately!"

"Warning, warning, a massive energy source has been detected. Evacuate immediately!"

Desaad's face twisted in fear. Through the surveillance system, he saw the energy arrow forming, aimed directly at his laboratory, directly at the city's defense core!

He knew what that Earthling intended—he wanted to destroy the city's defenses and re-activate that powerful ability that could cover all of Apokolips.

Desaad knew he had to stop this attack, but he had no confidence he could.

According to the energy detection systems, the one-meter-long energy arrow contained energy tens of times greater than the planetary destruction cannon!

Despite knowing he couldn't possibly block the attack, Desaad didn't flee. Instead, he frantically typed codes into the system, trying to compress the city's defense shields to block the incoming attack.

If he ran now, even if he survived the energy arrow, Darkseid would kill him, and his methods would be far crueler than anything the Earthling could do.

Desaad shuddered at the thought and kept adjusting the parameters of the city's defenses.

Meanwhile, Alex paid no mind to the leaders of Apokolips who attacked him from fifty meters away. He focused on manipulating the fully-formed vector axis.

He noticed the shrinking defense barrier in the distance but wasn't concerned.

The vector axis' attack didn't operate like traditional energy or physical strikes. While the vector axis appeared to be only a meter long, its influence stretched infinitely far.

Anything in the path of the vector axis would have its vectors manipulated and absorbed into the axis, amplifying its power. Even anything attempting to block it would suffer the same fate!

And because Alex could control scalar quantities as well, the power of all the vectors absorbed by the axis would increase tenfold!

That was the maximum amplification of his level-4 vector manipulation!

When the vector axis was fully ready, Alex released it. The infinite vectors twisted together, forming an arrow that shot forward!

No, calling it an arrow was inaccurate. As it traveled, it grew into a colossal spear, hundreds of meters long!

Distance was irrelevant to the vector axis. Even Alex's Six Eyes couldn't track its path. Everything in its way was obliterated as the vector spear reached the laboratory in an instant.

Desaad and Doctor Bedlam had no time to react. The spear pierced through the barrier and their bodies, absorbing the energy of their resistance and amplifying its own power tenfold.

When it was over, the city's defense core was gone, and Alex could once again activate his Unlimited Void.

The leaders of Apokolips stood in stunned silence, staring at the kilometers-long chasm that now split the city in two. They had no idea what had just happened.

To them, Alex had merely opened his hand, a bright light flashed, and now everything had changed.

The city's defense system had vanished, and the entire city, including the area where Darkseid resided, had been reduced to ruins.

No, Darkseid!

They realized the terrifying possibility: had Darkseid himself been killed in the attack?

Rage overtook them, and they charged at Alex, consumed by madness.

Alex smiled calmly and activated his domain once more—Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!

The entirety of Apokolips was pulled into the Domain. With a mere thought, the bodies of Apokolips' leaders were torn apart, their remains scattered to the winds as dust!

With that, all the leaders of Apokolips were dead.

But Alex wasn't finished. His goal was to annihilate the entire planet.

Just as he was about to act, a figure shot toward him at incredible speed, wrapped in the overwhelming power of the Omega Beams, isolating them from the Unlimited Void.

It was Darkseid—he had survived the vector spear!

Darkseid raced toward Alex, veins bulging in his fury as he roared:

"STOP!"

Despite Darkseid's desperate shout, Alex smiled indifferently and manipulated the vectors across Apokolips.

*Boom!*

Before Darkseid's disbelieving eyes, the entire planet's vectors and scalars shifted chaotically, tearing apart the gravitational field. Apokolips shattered like a fragile glass orb, fragments scattering everywhere!

But Alex didn't stop. Endless spatial slashes ravaged the planet, obliterating the broken ground and disintegrating the fragmented mountains.

A sea of purple light covered Apokolips. Though silent, when it faded, the entire planet was gone, leaving only stardust—and Alex and Darkseid.

Darkseid knelt in the void of space, staring at the destruction in utter despair. His planet, his glory, the empire he had built through hardowrk and cruelty—all shattered like a dream, leaving nothing behind.

"No! I'll kill you! Kill you!"

The ruler of the universe, the mightiest of the New Gods, charged at Alex like a madman, unleashing Omega Beams from his eyes with reckless abandon. But Alex simply absorbed them effortlessly. Even the destructive power of the beams was negated by his Reversal Curse Technique.

Seeing this, Darkseid changed tactics, screaming maniacally:

"Anti-Life Equation = loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love = lies, life = death, self = dark side!!"

This was undoubtedly the Anti-Life Equation. Any being who heard it would lose their free will and fall under the control of the speaker.

Darkseid glared hatefully at Alex, grinning maniacally as he noticed that Alex hadn't blocked his hearing.

No one could resist the Anti-Life Equation—not even this Earthling. Once he heard it, Darkseid could control him. Darkseid would torture this Earthling relentlessly and use his power to rebuild Apokolips.

But...

The excitement on Darkseid's face froze. The Earthling showed no signs of being affected by the Anti-Life Equation and instead looked back at him with a mocking expression.

Suddenly, Darkseid's vision blurred, and he found Alex standing directly in front of him. Instinctively, he tried to attack, but to his horror, he realized he couldn't move.

He was completely immobilized, trapped by a power far beyond his own limits!

His entire body trembled violently, his muscles convulsing, but he was powerless to act. All he could do was watch as Alex's hand gripped his head.

Then, with a sharp squeeze, accompanied by a burst of purple lightning, the ruler of the universe, the most powerful New God—Darkseid—was dead!
