"As for normal Earth technology, there shouldn't be anything that can threaten me now, not even ordinary nuclear bombs!"
David's strength had greatly increased, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Only ultra-large yield nuclear bombs that could affect the entire world and potentially cause a nuclear apocalypse would be able to harm him.
As for why he said "normal technology"...
The science in the DC world isn't always that scientific; there are always talented individuals on Earth who occasionally come up with some top-tier black technology that spans the entire universe.
For example, the Metal Legion, artificial intelligence robots truly born from Earth technology, and Red Tornado, who can go toe-to-toe with Kryptonians... and even the Amazo robot, which can replicate any superpower it sees and has defeated the Justice League.
"The latter is almost comparable to Doomsday, the ultimate destructive weapon created by Kryptonian biological technology."
Recalling his scattered thoughts, David prepared to test the use of his next ability before leaving.
"—Release energy rays from my eyes."
Thanos had biological enhancements and a high-tech suit, and he had the ability to absorb and manipulate energy.
"I've already tested releasing energy from my palms, so my eyes should be able to do it too!"
David channeled the energy within him, concentrating it in his eyes. After a slight warmth, two purple energy rays, radiating a destructive aura of high temperature, shot out abruptly.
Two scorched deep trenches were carved into the ground, converging at a single point.
Seeing that it was feasible, he smiled excitedly and increased his energy output.
Sizzle!
The ground was scorched and melted into lava by the terrifying high temperature, boiling and evaporating.
The terrifying heat dried up the moisture in the surrounding ground, causing the earth to crack and the leaves on the trees to wither and curl.
If it continued, the surrounding trees might catch fire.
Not wanting to cause a forest fire, David cut off the energy. The residual purple energy in his eyes emitted a glow, making him look like a god standing on the earth, incredibly imposing. He blinked his slightly warm eyes.
"No major problems."
There was no difference between releasing abilities from his eyes and his hands, and it didn't pose any danger.
Having tested all his abilities, David calmed himself down and was about to turn to leave.
He didn't care about what Clark called a comparison or winning or losing.
"Although it shouldn't be difficult for Clark to resolve this matter with his abilities, I'm still a little uneasy."
Even a fully realized Superman occasionally messed up, let alone a teenage version.
Crack!
Suddenly, a faint sound of a dry twig being stepped on echoed from a distance.
"Come out!"
David's brow furrowed instantly, and his gaze quickly shot towards a bush in the distance. He spoke in a low voice.
He had been too excited about his new template and forgot about everything else, failing to notice someone spying on him.
Speaking of which, he ultimately didn't have Clark's super hearing and super vision, although Clark's super hearing and super vision were often useless anyway.
From behind the bush, a tall and beautiful female figure emerged. Shock remained on her face as she looked at the lava on the ground, murmuring.
"My eyes can burn everything..."
"It's you?"
Seeing the figure, David was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that the person who discovered his abilities wouldn't be a stranger.
"The legends were indeed true."
Kara looked at David, her eyes shining brightly, as if she were seeing a figure of worship from mythology descend into reality. She murmured excitedly.
"What legends?"
Having his abilities seen, David's expression turned cold, but he wasn't too flustered.
This was because the person in front of him was not an ordinary person either.
"When did you get here?"
"David Kent, you don't need to worry. I've known about your abilities for a long time, and I won't expose them to outsiders."
Kara, who had been attracted by the energy beam that had pierced nearly a mile, raised her hand to signal no malice, her voice filled with excitement.
"Known for a long time?"
David's brow furrowed even deeper, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"When you and your brother, Clark Kent, were emitting a 'bug' scent at the edge of the forest, I saw everything from deep within the forest."
Kara recounted everything without reservation.
Now she had confirmed which of the two brothers was Nama!
After hearing her explanation, David's eyes flashed as he connected everything. She had seen him and Clark dealing with Gregg and displaying superhuman abilities, which was why this Kara had been secretly paying attention to him and Clark?
Since that party, he'd felt like someone was secretly watching him and Clark around campus.
"Since you've managed to keep your mouth shut for all these days," David said coldly, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "I expect you to continue doing so." He turned to leave, making no effort to hide his warning. "Unless you want me to pay you a visit and ensure you can never speak again."
"Wait, Nama," Kara said quickly as David turned to go. "You need to be careful of your brother."
"My name is not Nama." David paused, tilting his head slightly at the strange address. "And why would I need to be careful of Clark?" While Clark had been a bit bothersome lately, constantly worrying and trying to steer him away from danger, it shouldn't be to the point where he needed to be wary of him. Kara, from head to toe, exuded strangeness, and the way she looked at him was off, her eyes burning with the fervor of a devoted follower wanting to trail behind him.
"In our tribe's legends, you are Nama. And your brother is called Sergei."
"Nama, Sergei?" David turned around, confused, not understanding what she was talking about. "What tribal legends?"
"Our Kavachi Tribe has a long history, five hundred years. Five hundred years ago, a man from another planet fell in love with our Mother of the Tribe. Because of this forbidden romance, our tribe was born." Facing David, Kara slowly recounted the history her people kept secret, her face alight with long-suppressed excitement. "The day he left, he flew into the sky, leaving a prophecy: five hundred years later, his people would descend with heavenly fire, named Nama, to stop his brother Sergei from destroying the Kavachi Tribe and the world."
"Aside from the part about being from another planet, it's quite a primitive-sounding legend. But it has nothing to do with me." David raised an eyebrow and started to walk away. He was certain he wasn't any Nama, and the Sergei who would destroy the world in Kara's story couldn't possibly be Clark. "I'm a native-born Earthling."
"In the legends, Nama's characteristics aren't just about descending with heavenly fire," Kara chased after him, quickly adding. "He also possesses strength greater than ten men combined, and his eyes can shoot beams that burn through everything."
"You fit all of that, David!" The tribe had always speculated that the meteor shower accompanied by fire seventeen years ago, which occurred around the time of the prophecy, might have been the heavenly fire. When she saw David and Clark in the forest, both possessing immense strength, Kara's suspicion grew. A pair of brothers with supernatural powers, one with purple skin unlike an Earthling – could they be the brothers from the prophecy? "I've been observing you both since I saw you in the forest, trying to confirm which of you is Nama and which is Sergei."
As she spoke, she revealed her own ability to show David she wasn't crazy. Kara's hand transformed into a pure white wolf's claw. "Just now, when I saw beams shoot from your eyes and melt the ground into lava, I confirmed your identity. You are the savior Nama from the prophecy!"
"A wolf? The town's urban legends talk about a giant white wolf appearing in the forest at night. Could that be you?" Seeing her wolf claws, David stopped, a little surprised. As for Kara's legend, he still took it as just a story, not feeling much internally. Perhaps aliens, alien descendant tribes, and even prophecies of aliens returning to Earth were all true, but they definitely had nothing to do with him.
"This is the convergence of destiny, Nama. I am the daughter of the Kavachi Tribe's chief, and I possess the bracelet left by the Mother of the Tribe. It was also I who discovered you." With the prophesied person arriving after five hundred years of waiting, the spirited Kara was convinced David was Nama. Her voice filled with excitement as she raised her hand, a beautiful silver bracelet adorned with what looked like turquoise on her wrist. "I will wholeheartedly and without reservation assist you in defeating your evil brother Clark and help you stop him from destroying the world!"
