If we're talking about arrogance and dominance, Luke would undoubtedly rank first at this moment.
Green flames blazed, forming a towering inferno.
"Fire Fist!"
With a furious roar, Luke swung his right fist back, then forward, unleashing a massive wave of green flame. The fire condensed into a fist, traveling dozens of meters before slamming heavily into Hecate's protective barrier.
Bang!
The flames dispersed, scattering to both sides.
Hecate's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain in his expression. The next second, his expression froze as he watched the telekinetic field protecting his body shrink at a visible rate.
The green flames could actually corrode telekinesis!
"A bizarre humanoid creature!"
Hecate snorted coldly, raising his bamboo-like claw and lightly tapping it.
Boom!
An invisible force transformed into a fierce gale, blowing the green flames back.
Hecate raised his hand again, and an invisible impact struck through the air. Luke was hit hard, his legs sinking into the ground, plowing back over ten meters before he stopped.
Such powerful telekinesis!
Compared to before, it was ten times stronger.
Luke narrowed his eyes, pushing off the ground and charging forward, his speed increasing. Two cannon muzzles appeared on his shoulders, enveloped in green flames, continuously firing energy blasts imbued with the green fire.
Hecate lightly pointed a finger, and four walls of energy appeared around Luke—front, back, left, and right—blocking his retreat.
At the same time, a giant hand made of telekinetic energy appeared in the air.
The colossal hand was as large as a two-story building, its five fingers clenched into a fist, descending with an ear-splitting roar.
The air seemed to be sucked away, creating countless ripples.
The giant energy hand was directly overhead; Luke had nowhere to dodge, nor did he intend to.
"Flame Sun!"
His protective green flames surged, forming a towering pillar of fire that collided with the giant energy hand.
At this moment, time froze.
The impact of the two forces destroyed everything within a hundred-meter radius. White light and green flames rubbed, clashed, and tore at each other, sending out large waves of energy.
Luke's eyes burned with killing intent.
"Great Flame Sun!"
Boom!
The flames surged like a tsunami, engulfing the giant energy hand. The telekinetic energy was corroded and consumed, quickly turning into nothingness. The green flames then condensed in the air, forming a colossal fireball over fifty meters in diameter.
The fireball floated in mid-air, as dazzling as the sun.
"Die, you scum."
Luke soared into the air, cradling the fireball in his right hand, and slammed it downwards with force.
The fifty-meter fireball blotted out the sky, descending from above with a destructive aura that permeated the soul.
Even before it drew near, his soul felt the searing pain of flames.
Hecate's face was grim, his expression incredibly serious.
In the past, he wouldn't have cared about such an attack. But today was different. After being repeatedly bombarded by the Green Lantern Corps, nearly reverting to his original form, he had used his last bit of energy to come to Earth, only to encounter such a weak host. Not only did it not enhance him,
it even restricted his abilities to a certain extent.
"Hecate Hammond, you truly are a waste!"
Hecate cursed inwardly, raising all six of his claws simultaneously. Telekinetic energy twisted and swirled, forming a giant barrier dozens of meters thick.
The fireball collided with the barrier.
There were no tricks, no techniques, only the most primal clash of energy.
Impact waves rippled outwards through the gaps in the center, green flames surged, white light exploded, rushing to various parts of the island. Hurricanes rose from the ground, bending plants and trees, and the seawater turned into surging tides, piling higher and higher, forming waves several meters tall.
The sky was divided into two distinct worlds by the white and green energies.
In the sky not far away, Linda, who had been watching the battle, was filled with disbelief.
"That bastard actually has such powerful superpowers!"
"Why didn't he use them before?"
"But the green flame feels very strange. Even from this distance, I have the illusion that my soul is being devoured."
"Such evil power, like a demon from hell. Could this guy be the child of a demon?!"
Recalling Luke's various actions, the girl nodded earnestly.
"That's right, he definitely has demon blood."
Carol was also watching the situation on the island, but the distance was too great, and she didn't have super vision, so she couldn't see what was happening. She could only turn some of her attention to the girl beside her.
When two hostile women are together, observation is a must, and comparison is also a must:
She's younger than me, around eighteen years old;
One meter seventy tall, not as tall as me;
Her lips curl up from time to time, clearly indicating poor upbringing;
Her chest is very flat, far less ample than mine.
As for her fashion sense... Carol glanced at Linda's tracksuit and curled her lips in disgust.
A tracksuit?
As a woman, to go out in a tracksuit, and a grey one at that, ha ha! She clearly lets herself go normally and doesn't even understand basic etiquette.
After just a few glances, Carol mentally gave Linda a very low score.
"A sloppy girl from a small place, rebellious, irritable. Besides her sweet appearance and superpowers, she's useless in every other way. Her threat level is extremely low, negligible."
Kryptonians have excellent senses, and every one of Carol's glances didn't escape Linda's notice. At first, she didn't think much of it; they were both women, so what if she looked? It was no big deal. But she never expected the other party to show a sarcastic expression.
What does that mean?
Sarcastic towards me, an Earth native, looking down on a Kryptonian from a high-level civilization?
Linda was enraged. She turned her head and glared at her fiercely.
"Who are you, what's your name?"
Carol smiled slightly, intellectual, beautiful, and with a hint of assertiveness.
"Carol Ferris, executive director of Ferris Aircraft, and also Luke's girlfriend."
Linda smirked, "Luke Shaw has a hundred girlfriends, which number are you?"
Carol said unhurriedly, "Those hundred girlfriends all refer to me; I alone am worth a hundred."
As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, her aura emanating naturally.
Linda's expression froze, her face growing even more displeased.
Carol said, "Little sister, who are you?"
"Don't call me little sister, I'm older than you."
"Older than me?"
Carol chuckled strangely, her gaze subtly sweeping over Linda's chest, then resting on her own ample bosom. "I can't tell. Where are you bigger than me?"
"You..."
Linda's cheeks flushed red, and she instinctively raised her fist.
"Do you want to fight or what?"
Carol turned her head. "I don't resort to violence with vulgar women; it makes one seem ill-mannered."
Linda felt the air pressure rapidly rise. This damned woman, she was just looking for trouble. Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes darted, and she chuckled mischievously,
"You're Luke Shaw's girlfriend, so that means you'll get married in the future?"
"Naturally."
"Then do you know who I am?"
"I'd be delighted to hear."
Linda cleared her throat, pretending to be profound, "Listen carefully. By seniority, I am his maternal aunt. If you two get married, that makes me your maternal aunt too. Come on, call me 'Auntie' and let me hear it!"
Carol: "?"
