The powerful energy wave released from his fist exploded in the air even before it touched Eric.
Boom!
The air vibrated, as if it had been ignited.
The ground was shattered by the powerful energy impact!
Eric raised his hands, holding them in front of his head to block the shockwave that was heading directly for his body.
After Captain Atom's punch had no effect, he retreated a few steps.
With a stern face, he confronted Eric, "We possess power, but every time we encounter an opponent equal to us, we can only throw punches, making meaningless swings at their face! Do you know why?"
Thud!
The air let out a loud bang, and Captain Atom's figure turned into a lightning bolt, charging towards Eric.
"Because it feels good!"
The energy condensed in his fist exploded in an instant, causing a heart-pounding vibration in the air.
Mera and the others watching felt the terrifying power of this strong energy.
Eric raised his arms, blocking Captain Atom's punch, but was still blasted backward by the powerful force.
The ground vibrated intensely, and the soft ground instantly turned into loose soil.
Dazzling energy explosions flickered in the darkness, creating a strong visual impact in everyone's eyes.
"Some people in the Pentagon believe I have the ability to take your life, Homelander!" Captain Atom narrowed his eyes, looked at Eric, and slowly said, "Do you know why I didn't do that before?"
"Because I am a soldier, because I fight for my country, not for myself, because no one ordered me to do so!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his left hand and said, "Because I know I will not be above the country, I obey orders, Homelander, and now the orders have changed!"
Boom!
The ground was shattered beneath his feet, and Captain Atom instantly charged towards Eric.
Green Arrow looked at Captain Atom's display of power, his mouth slightly agape in shock.
He never would have imagined that the other party would suppress Homelander.
Could what this guy said be true!
He can really defeat Homelander?!
Many thoughts flashed through Green Arrow's mind in an instant.
But the next second, events unfolded beyond Green Arrow's expectation.
Captain Atom's fist, carrying a powerful energy sphere, was about to strike Eric when Eric grabbed it.
Although the energy immediately exploded, it did not blast Eric away.
Eric, with a few drops of blood on his forehead, held the other's hand and coldly said, "Do you think the same trick will work on me?!"
Eric's template was Homelander plus Doomsday, and Doomsday's greatest ability was high adaptability.
As he continuously adapted to the opponent's attack methods and the strength of the energy within their body, his own body had already developed resistance.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, Captain Atom's physical condition gradually declined.
The other party was indeed a formidable opponent, and could even make him bleed.
But that was as far as it went.
Eric's eyes shot out heat vision, aiming for the opponent's head.
In a hurry, Captain Atom immediately dodged; although he barely managed to evade, he was still hit in the head by Eric's punch.
With a thud, Captain Atom's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
The ground let out a loud bang, forming a pit several meters deep.
Captain Atom, his eyes wide with shock, disregarded the pain in his body and tried to stand up.
However, Eriel grabbed his head and lifted him up again.
Sizzle!
His cold gaze blasted towards the opponent's eye sockets.
Despite closing his eyes and possessing super-strong defenses, Captain Atom still screamed as Eric's cold gaze impacted him.
He could absorb some of the cold gaze's energy, but not all of it.
To prevent his head from being melted by the cold gaze, he could only desperately absorb it.
As a result, the impact of the cold gaze completely destroyed the energy balance within his body.
The uncontrolled aftermath was the runaway of all the energy within him.
Using all his strength, he pushed Eric away.
Captain Atom gasped for air, staggering backward, crimson energy shooting from his eyes.
The energy formed beams, radiating outwards in all directions.
"You—"
After taking two steps forward, Captain Atom knelt on the ground, covering his eyes to prevent the energy from escaping.
"I—I can't control the energy within my body anymore!"
Captain Atom's body contained energy equivalent to more than ten atomic bombs. Once out of control, the energy container would break, and this power, comparable to ten atomic bombs, would explode in the shortest amount of time, enough to turn the East Coast into a wasteland.
Now he had to make a choice: either let the city and its people be buried with him here, or fly into the sky himself to prevent the disaster.
Green Arrow saw Captain Atom kneeling on the ground, covering his eyes, and looked at him in astonishment.
