Chapter 182: The Battle Continues

H'el's strikes against Apollo were so fast that he continuously sent Apollo flying kilometers away, stepping on him and directly piercing through Ceres.

"He's powerful, but his energy is not infinite."

"The enchanted Cross Sword, the Kryptonian physique's nemesis, has already caused the energy of one of his hearts to decay and disappear. He's limited."

"Artemis's arrow, 'Iokheira,' can accurately bring him incurable diseases and eradicate every cell in his body. I've informed her to use the planets in the solar system as gravitational bows."

Iokheira, meaning: the arrows that cover the sky. This is Artemis's alias and the power she represents.

Athena, Yak, and Scar only exchanged a few words of tactical communication against H'el. Apollo was directly suppressed without even the ability to fight back, flying too far away.

They didn't expect Apollo to be so directly overwhelmed.

Scar directly opened a telepathic passage and transmitted to the battlefield miles away.

Yak confronted H'el head-on.

Although Yak is only 1.2 meters tall, the lowest among this group, his strength is the highest.

As soon as he came over, he directly confronted H'el's fist. After being knocked away, he tumbled in space for a few times, then quickly recovered and fought against H'el again, freeing Apollo.

And Apollo, once freed, angrily erupted like he had Saiyan blood, eyes spewing flames, his body emitting intense heat, raising his body temperature to that of the solar core. Some high-energy particles around him began to distort and cause a terrifying bending phenomenon.

"Where did you come from?"

After being punched away again by H'el, Yak retreated to an asteroid, flipped over, stood on it, agile like a monkey, with narrowed eyes.

Since ancient cosmic times, he had never seen a Kryptonian individual as unique as H'el.

With a combination of various special skills, the basic skills of Kryptonians, and the spatial abilities and psychic powers that Yak currently knows, they are all top-notch in the universe, superpowers with immeasurable potential.

"You truly surprise and anger me. Yak, you're 9.6% weaker than me."

H'el didn't bother to answer Yak's meaningless question, a cruel smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, excitement and rage mixed in his eyes.

Before this, he had a slight unease in his heart.

Because he didn't know where his strength belonged in this universe, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

Even to find out where his strength belonged, knowing that he would have to face the top beings in the universe, he prepared for contingencies by opening a teleportation vortex and sending Kryptonian children to the Three-Body Universe.

He was fully prepared, prepared for his rise after failure.

But now, in the midst of the fight, he realized... They're not as strong as him.

Apollo was 11.4% weaker than him.

Yak was 9.6% weaker than him.

Athena was 14.5% weaker than him.

Scar was 20% weaker than him.

H'el was pleasantly surprised by his position in the universe. Even if the top beings in the universe were to battle him, they couldn't kill him.

"You make me very angry!"

At the same time, he harbored deep anger, anger towards himself for valuing these people, anger towards himself for previously struggling against nothingness. He felt like a clown, facing a group inferior to him, making various escapes, and planning his rise again.

He shouldn't have sent the Kryptonian children to the Three-Body Universe for refuge. He should have left them here, let them watch as he looked down on the universe, tread through the stars, and raised the banner of the New Kryptonian Empire. Let these children witness the moment when His Majesty H'el, personally built the New Kryptonian Empire.

In just a few words, a hysterical outburst erupted. Apollo, who couldn't accept being weaker than H'el, had already erupted into his strongest state, surrounded by blazing flames, and went forward with Yak to engage in fierce combat with H'el in this starry sky.

The asteroid belt suffered, with violent fluctuations of divine power, pure brute force impact, bodies crashing into asteroids constantly. They threw asteroids at will, shattered them, manipulated high-energy particle gravity, disrupted radiation fields, completely erasing the gravitational magnetic field of the asteroid belt.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them shifted and blinked numerous times in different parts of the place as they battled, energy rampant, magnetic field waves extinguished, creating a vacuum, erasing countless asteroids with their impacts.

Scar used her psychic power to connect to the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt, the Vesta asteroid, with an average density of 3.4 g/cm and a diameter of 525 kilometers, and fortified it with Athena's magic. The entire asteroid carried an enormous momentum of shock.

Scar connected the magnetic field of the Vesta asteroid with her psychic power, swinging it like a flail in the asteroid belt, accelerating its rotation with gravitational force. After rotating more than one hundred thousand times, the asteroid's speed and kinetic energy exceeded the ordinary. It directly smashed towards H'el.

H'el extended his right hand backward during the battle, his stronger psychic power directly clashing with Scar's psychic power, momentarily darkening her gaze, and depriving her of control over the asteroid's magnetic field. He took control of the asteroid with his own psychic power and bio field.

H'el clenched his right hand into a fist, compressing the entire asteroid forcibly. With the gravitational force of his combined psychic and bio fields, he compressed it to one-third of its size and began crystallizing it. With a cold glare, he exerted force again, rapidly compressing the crystallized asteroid, crushing carbon atoms under immense force into a bright diamond star, refracting dazzling light.

H'el yanked forcefully with his right hand, sending the compressed diamond asteroid directly towards Yak and Apollo.

This was just a momentary action in the battle, and the planets were left to ravage.

Yak's gaze sharpened as he actively met the incoming diamond star, punching it and shattering it into countless reflecting diamond fragments, casting shadows of everyone's figures.

H'el's heat vision pierced onto one diamond, refracting and bending onto another diamond. Quickly, all the diamond fragments refracted red heat rays, forming a huge and incomparable cage of refracted heat rays.

From afar, it looked like people outlining constellations with lines, except that the cruel and magnificent irregular lines formed naturally in the starry sky by the thousands of refracted heat rays.

Apollo erupted with a violent solar flare, dispersing all the diamond dust from the cage of refracted heat rays.

Scar took advantage of this opportunity, her hands forming a triangle, a psychic power application method that H'el had never seen before, emanating from Scar's hands, a huge illusionary triangular maze covering H'el.
