Fastest update of "Clark in the Marvel Universe"!
BOOM!
As Clark struck again, a massive crater—500 meters wide and 500 kilometers deep—appeared beneath him.
Having pierced nearly a third of the distance to the planet's core, Ego began to panic. He summoned all of his divine power, wrapping himself in layer upon layer of energy tendrils, which then surged toward Clark like a tidal wave.
He couldn't allow Clark to keep attacking like this. Just after a few strikes, Ego already felt weak. As Mantis had once said, the entire planet was Ego's body.
Though this planetary body was something he had constructed later on, his power was built upon it. Without it—reduced to just a floating brain—Ego would lose all his strength.
Ego knew: if Clark actually struck his core, his million-year existence would truly come to an end.
No matter what, Ego couldn't let Clark get to him.
But ideals are beautiful—and reality is cruel.
Though Ego's tendrils surged with overwhelming force and seemed unstoppable, Clark clenched his right fist and threw a punch infused with more than 50% of his internal energy—directly into the tide of tendrils.
In less than a second, Ego's countless energy tendrils shattered entirely upon impact.
But there were millions of tendrils, and they were infused with divine Celestial power. When broken, that power didn't vanish—it leaked into the atmosphere.
As more tendrils were destroyed, the concentration of divine power in the air increased rapidly. Desperate, Ego gritted his teeth and detonated all the divine power wrapped around his body.
It all happened in an instant.
Back on the surface, Diana and Mantis couldn't see the battle 500 kilometers underground. But when Clark threw that punch, a beam of light burst out of the massive crater—and waves of liquid surged upward from deep below.
RUMBLE!
The ground began to tremble like it was collapsing, and massive cracks spread across the surface.
Diana pulled Mantis along, dodging the cracks. Once things calmed a little, they saw Clark fly up into the air.
"Huff... Huff…"
Clark took a deep breath. Though he had just neutralized Ego's massive attack, a full minute of intense fighting—plus that final punch—had drained even his Kryptonian stamina.
Honestly, if not for the fact that Ego's planet allowed him to absorb sunlight, Clark would've tried a more cautious strategy—scanning for fissures and diving in carefully, not blasting his way down like a human drill.
This method might be fun, but it consumed far too much energy.
Thankfully, after a brief moment in the sun, his strength had mostly recovered.
Now, beneath Clark, Ego's planet resembled the end of the world. The once-beautiful terrain Diana and Clark had first seen was now utterly devastated.
The ground was shattered, the mountains and rivers broken—Ego's planet was on the verge of collapse.
Clark estimated: a few more strikes, and the planet might disintegrate before he even reached Ego's core.
But if the world was doomed—so be it. Ego deserved it. If he had just agreed to send them home, none of this would've happened.
Clark glanced at the energy reserves in his suit—about 60% remaining. He decided to speed things up.
With a thought, the golden light around him grew even brighter.
Amplify! Double! Triple! Quadruple!
Instantly, the energy suit's duration dropped to 45 seconds. But its amplification effect surged—fourfold power.
At that point, Diana and Mantis could no longer even see Clark. In the sky, there was only a blazing golden sun.
"Quick, to the ship!" Diana shouted. Watching Clark rise like a god and the ground shattering beneath them, she had a gut feeling—his next punch might destroy the entire planet.
She turned to Mantis, who still didn't seem to grasp that if Ego died, she might not survive in space.
Diana grabbed her hand and ran toward Ego's ship. Though she couldn't pilot it, with Ego's star already gone, that ship might be the only way to keep Mantis alive.
"Ego," Clark called out, his voice booming with righteous fury, "God just told me—He misses you. I'm sending you to see Him."
With that, Clark raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
Immediately, every ounce of energy within his body surged toward his fist.
99%!
In under a second, he completed an energy charge-up that used to take him minutes.
The further away the energy, the slower it used to be to gather—but with the suit's support, this was instant.
But 99% was the maximum Clark could handle. If he pushed to 100%, his body would collapse before he even finished the punch.
So 99%—this was his theoretical limit.
With the energy fully condensed, Clark punched downward at Ego's planetary core.
"NOOOO!"
At that moment, a freshly reconstructed Ego avatar appeared in front of Clark.
But upon witnessing the punch, Ego could only let out a howl of despair.
His new body was vaporized instantly—not from impact, but merely from coming into contact with the energy.
The devastating punch didn't stop there—it continued down into the deep crater Clark had already carved.
BOOM!
The planet shook violently.
All over the surface, the cracks began to glow with blinding light.
Inside Ego's ship, Diana and Mantis felt a powerful jolt. The vessel shuddered and then launched upward, as if struck by a giant hammer.
Regaining their balance, Diana looked back—only to see Ego's planet cracking apart and exploding.
Their egg-shaped ship had been thrown far into space by the explosion's shockwave.
In just a single move, the vessel carrying Diana and Mantis had exited Ego's atmosphere.
The planet's disintegration even triggered a rare aurora in the upper atmosphere—a breathtaking phenomenon.
It was beautiful—but Diana knew such beauty had been born from the death of a world.
And just then, she saw a beam of golden light streaking toward their ship.
As it neared, the light dimmed—and revealed the man inside, wearing his blue suit of justice:
Clark.
