Chapter 181: Dominating Destiny

H'el's chest, where his heart was pierced, began to decay with curses, spreading a foul stench of rot and death around the blade.

The first to be affected was his heart, which ceased beating, no longer supplying blood, and the genes at the bottom of the blood ceased to transmit any information, disintegrating directly.

H'el placed his hand on the blade, a smile playing on his lips. Psychic energy emanated from his fingers, forming a mercury-like silver liquid that seeped into the blade, effortlessly flowing along the magical engravings on the blade's material, corroding the cross sword.

Athena's beautiful face showed surprise as she felt the divine power-infused cross sword used against Kryptonians acting up, the handle she held trembling uncontrollably.

Just as she was about to release her slender fingers and move away from the anomaly, H'el's left hand twisted unnaturally from behind, like a pouncing beast, clamping down on Athena's white neck from below, grasping her.

"Your blade lacks the sharpness of my will."

The silver liquid created by H'el's psychic power invaded the cross sword, causing the surface of the blade to quickly lose its luster. All the magical effects of divine curses, decay, corruption, and other curses against Kryptonian cell genes were destroyed, turning the divine sword into an ordinary one, and then the blade rusted, as if it had endured countless ages, turning into iron scraps that scattered in the void.

H'el turned his head to look at Athena, who he held in his grip, his eyes almost emitting tangible psychic power.

The skin of Athena's neck was delicate and smooth, more worthy of care and cherishing than beautiful treasures, but now it was being clamped down by H'el like a chicken's neck. She subconsciously opened her mouth wide, her autumn eyes slightly widened, her exquisite clavicle rising with her shoulders, pressing against H'el's large hand.

H'el exerted force, crushing Athena's neck with his tiger-like grip, crushing her cervical vertebrae, and her beautiful eyes bulged out.

With a thud, Athena disappeared from H'el's hand, gracefully reappearing under the starry sky, lifting her graceful head to look at H'el, her dignified face revealing severity.

This Kryptonian... is different from before!

Yak and Scar rushed to her side from afar.

Scar's expression was grim. Not only was this Kryptonian able to learn his technique instantly before, but he even developed the direct effect of corrupting divine magic.

This learning speed, the level of detail in manipulating psychic power, was unprecedented for her.

"He's different from ordinary Kryptonians."

"He's an individual beyond Kryptonians."

"Divine magic still affects him. We need one opportunity to hit every nucleus of his cells and prevent him from recovering from the bottom of his genetic information."

Athena, Yak, and Scar quickly communicated and formulated tactics.

H'el looked in Athena's direction, the stench of decay emanating from his chest where his heart was rotting. The divine magic specifically targeting Kryptonian flesh was indeed the nemesis of ordinary Kryptonians. Even his own powerful body couldn't withstand it.

With a clap of his hand, the decaying flesh around his heart was slapped down from his chest and flew from his back, dispersing in space. A hole appeared in his chest, revealing the asteroid-filled sky from the front to the back. Invisible psychic power transformed into a heart, pumping and sustaining itself.

Flesh buds near his chest were writhing and clustering madly, forming a new heart.

Boom!

A huge force dispersed the surrounding asteroids.

Apollo new form was entirely entirely black, much like a certain mutant from Marvel Verse, his eyes emitting the flames of the sun, his hair burning like flames, radiating solar radiation aimed at Kryptonian recovery, attacking H'el.

This time, H'el didn't open his chest to let him attack. He had already tested his body's strength against the enemy's power, so there was no need to waste time.

He raised his fist directly to meet Apollo's punch. The two fists collided.

Bang!

A huge wave of shock erupted in the asteroid belt. A violent shockwave burst from the two colliding fists, shattering the asteroid belt for thousands of miles, revealing a vast expanse of empty space.

The asteroids scattered far away, piling up miles away, forming a huge circle of emptiness.

Apollo's arms trembled, his fists ached, and his figure was forcibly knocked back fifty before he managed to stop. A pair of fiery eyes showed astonishment.

"How... How can you be... so strong!"

To endure his solar radiation, be pierced through the chest by Athena's sword restraining Kryptonian physiology, and still be able to live, and to exchange punches with him, each blow sending him flying fifty miles away.

A cruel and ruthless smile curled up on H'el's lips as he looked down at Apollo.

"Apollo, you're 11.4% weaker than me."

In an instant, H'el used teleportation, appearing in front of Apollo. In the face of Apollo's astonishment, he punched him in the chest.

"I used to think I was in great danger in this universe."

With a difference of one-tenth in strength, in such an intense confrontation, the gap was already huge. Apollo's vision blurred, and he was already hit.

Apollo's chest throbbed with pain, arching up like a cooked shrimp, mouth gaping open, eyes bulging with flames. It was as if even his line of sight had been broken, and he was sent flying thousands of miles away, crashing into a pile of asteroids, scattering them.

"Now I finally know, in this universe, I'm also at the top!"

H'el's figure teleported, appearing once again behind Apollo. He kicked Apollo's spine, bending it backward, and sent him flying again. The surrounding asteroids suffered greatly, continuously smashed by Apollo's body.

Apollo was like a soccer ball, constantly being struck by H'el's consecutive teleportation in the asteroid belt.

In the distant starry sky, Apollo's light could be seen refracting irregularly within a circle, continuously being struck by H'el's teleportation.

The continuous barrage of attacks made Apollo's proud heart rage, and the pain in his body intensified with rising anger.

He hadn't felt pain like this in countless years.

"I am your destiny!!!"

Apollo angrily surged divine power within his body, halting his retreat after the attacks. He stood tall in the asteroid belt, his features emitting intense divine power. Flames engulfed him, attempting to reach the temperature of the sun's core.

The temperature of the sun's core is fifteen million degrees Celsius.

"Then I will dominate destiny."

H'el streaked through the sky, leaving a high-speed trail, and punched Apollo, sending him flying out of the stellar fireball he had formed.

Apollo was struck, breaking through tens of thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt, crashing into a dwarf planet with a diameter of about 950 kilometers – Ceres. He flattened half of the entire surface of Ceres, causing it to crack and teeter.

H'el, like a meteor, left a high-speed trace, carrying unparalleled impact force, plunging into Ceres. He aimed a kick at Apollo on Ceres, piercing through the dwarf planet, causing it to explode and fracture in the sky.

In the stardust of Ceres' explosion, H'el stepped on Apollo, bursting out of the explosion of Ceres, streaking through the interstellar space, Apollo's limbs weakened, his eyes blazing with anger, and his mouth coughing out ichor with flames.
