Superman’s Saiyan little brother

"I wasn't wrong? This guy is really afraid of fire?" A hint of surprise flashed in Robert's eyes. Compared to the Kamehameha wave, even compared to the Prince Battle Technique's consumption-type ki blasts, the explosive flame shouldn't have had an advantage.

But when the explosive flame appeared, the Martian Hunter immediately lost his combat capability, as if he had become an ordinary person. This confirmed Robert's previous deduction was correct! Previously, during his battle with the Martian Hunter, Robert noticed the Martian Hunter had dodged explosive light twice. Given the Martian Hunter's defensive power and healing ability, such explosive light shouldn't have affected him much.

Therefore, when Robert was greatly exhausted and in a desperate situation, he tried to break the deadlock with an explosive flame, not expecting it to be more effective than he imagined!

"Thud!" The Martian Hunter clumsily fell to the ground. Falling from mid-air left the powerless Martian Hunter injured, even more severely than from Robert's previous attacks.

And since the Martian Hunter's arms had been severed and he hadn't recovered before being frightened by the explosive flame into losing his superpowers, he looked extremely disheveled.

Fortunately, as the explosive flame disappeared, the Martian Hunter gradually regained his superpowers. However, facing Robert, who could release explosive flames, the Martian Hunter had no intention of continuing the fight...

"Buzz!" The Martian Hunter's body gradually became invisible. He was somewhat fearful of Robert's explosive flame and chose to retreat because fire was his eternal pain, his Achilles' heel.

This had nothing to do with strength but seemed more like a psychological barrier he couldn't overcome, a shadow in his mind, because the Martian Hunter's wife and daughter had been burned to ashes before his eyes...

Such a psychological shadow made the Martian Hunter, despite his power to destroy worlds, still fear fire. Not even extraordinary flames, but even ordinary fires could affect his superpowers, similar to how kryptonite affects Kryptonians. Theoretically, fire is much more common than kryptonite, though only in theory...

"Huh? His qi is recovering?" Sensing the Martian Hunter's qi suddenly recover, Robert's expression tightened, vigilantly perceiving his surroundings. He didn't know the Martian Hunter was preparing to flee, thinking the Martian Hunter was invisible and about to launch a sneak attack.

"Robert! He's 200 meters to your left, 600 meters now! He's trying to flee!" While Robert didn't spot the Martian Hunter's location, Kara, from afar, saw the Martian Hunter's traces. She urgently warned Robert.

However, Kara hadn't learned telepathy and didn't have psychic abilities. By the time Kara's voice reached him, the Martian Hunter had already run far away.

Even more so, after hearing Kara's voice, the Martian Hunter, worried Robert might catch up, changed his body again. Not only did he maintain invisibility, but he also entered an intangible state, quickly leaving the place that had brought him embarrassment.

Of course, while the Martian Hunter's severed arms remained on the ground, his body had already healed, showing no signs of injury. Only his retreating figure seemed somewhat disheveled.

"He ran away?" A hint of surprise flashed in Robert's eyes. He clearly sensed that aside from the moment the explosive flame appeared and the Martian Hunter's qi truly dropped, at other times the Martian Hunter wasn't fundamentally injured. Even with the initial transformation into the Giant Ape Fury state, there was still some gap between Robert and the Martian Hunter.

Robert didn't know whether the Martian Hunter had released all his power during their fight, but he initially deduced that the Martian Hunter's true combat strength could at least reach Frieza's first form level!

And with Robert's current enhancement under the Giant Ape Fury transformation, he should be close to or even surpass Goku's normal state when he first landed on Namek.

In the year or so since Robert regained his memory, a power level increase of about tens of thousands wasn't considered too fast among the protagonist group of Saiyans, but Robert's growth was undoubtedly more comprehensive.

If not for Robert enhancing his psychic power, developing the Giant Ape Fury, and the ability to transform qi into explosive flames, it wouldn't have been easy for him to confront the Martian Hunter and even scare him away.

Normally, a Saiyan with this level of power would lose their combat effectiveness under the Martian Hunter's psychic attack, let alone find the Martian Hunter's weakness with an explosive flame.

Even if the Martian Hunter hadn't used his true power at the last moment, continuing to fight with his initial strength against Robert, he would soon find that Robert's combat power in the Giant Ape state would become stronger and stronger, eventually catching up to or even surpassing him, potentially ending up like Frieza...

"It's too late, he's gone..." Just as Robert was preparing to search for the Martian Hunter's traces, Kara's voice sounded again.

"Sigh!" Hearing this, Robert exhaled a long breath, the green flames around his body instantly dissipating, his pupils returning from gold to black, and his hair, which had stood up against gravity, now somewhat drooped, though still in a gravity-defying state.

As Robert exhaled, a wave of fatigue washed over him. Not only had he deactivated the Giant Ape Fury transformation, but the dissipating fighting spirit also slowly faded the Berserker Fist.

In addition to other minor injuries on his body, both his arm and abdomen had suffered severe damage. The bones in his arm were shattered, and his abdomen was pierced through...

Coupled with the immense strain the Giant Ape Fury state had placed on his body, Robert's body wobbled, almost falling to the ground like the Martian Hunter had earlier.

"Swish!" At that moment, a fragrant breeze arrived. Kara, noticing Robert's condition, directly caught him in mid-air and gently landed on the ground.

"Robert, are you okay?" Kara looked at Robert with concern, especially noting the serious injuries to his arm and abdomen. Even though Robert was healing quickly, it would take some time to fully recover.

"Don't worry, I'm fine! Just a bit drained..." Robert managed a weak smile, speaking tiredly, "The main issue is the big difference in combat power, and my normal strength isn't enough, or else I would have transformed into the Giant Ape and fought him directly!"

"Too bad, that guy's healing ability is truly terrifying. I haven't seen many who can match his healing ability, and we didn't even test his healing ability's limit..."

"But fortunately, after this recovery, I can narrow the gap between us. He ran away this time, but next time, even without using fire, it won't be so easy for him to win against me!"

"Kara, could you clean up the battlefield around here? Dispose of the bloodstains and severed limbs, and take care of those shadow ninjas for me. I need to rest for a bit..."

Feeling drowsy, Robert realized that sleeping after being severely injured seemed to speed up his recovery. With Kara by his side, he felt at ease enough to sleep...

"You sleep, I've got this!" Kara looked around at the battlefield, which resembled a modern war zone, and spoke firmly.

Meanwhile, the Martian Hunter appeared high in the sky, relieved as he looked in Robert's direction: "What a troublesome kid! He even has fire abilities. I'll have to stay away from this kid in the future... Huh?!"

The Martian Hunter suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious as he looked towards the sun. There, a figure appeared, backlit by the sun's glow, imposing immense psychological pressure on the Martian Hunter.

"Your trouble has just begun. You think you can hurt someone and just leave? It's not that easy," Clark stared at the Martian Hunter, his voice carrying a hint of anger as he spoke.

What a joke? You think you can hurt my brother and just walk away?! Do you think you're Diana?
