The moment I finish, his fear disappears as his body starts shaking with his eyes glowing red. The ground starts to tremble furiously, the gravel and sand particles then float above the ground as he clenches his fist and grits his teeth: his destructive gaze fully on my body.

Haha, he's furious. That's good, it will give me more experience. It would've sucked if he chickened out but I guess his pride is at stake so he will not give up.

Well then, it's finally time I stretch my [Psychokinetic] muscles.

"What's the matter, John? I'm right here, come and get me."

I taunt him arrogantly as I spread my arms wide.

"Die!"

<Crack!>

He bellows as his [Bio-electric Aura] spreads and cracks the inner and outer portions of the crater and the next moment he disappears.

I backflip in the air and effortlessly dodge his heavy kick whose sheer force creates a shockwave that obliterates the surrounding trees and ground.

With a smirk on my face, I reel my clenched fist backward and after adding a membrane of [Psychokinesis] to it, shoot it towards his face.

<Boom!>

The air explodes as a huge concussive force hits him and hurls him into the sky at speeds at make his figure blur.

I want to test the full extent of my powers and sadly this city won't hold if I do so. We've already destroyed part of the city, any more than it will be counter-productive to my plans.

I fly towards him and reach his now steady figure in a few seconds and before he can make a move, I give him another [Psycho-Punch] with my full strength.

Yeah, that's what I've named it, shitty but practical.

<Bang!>

The punch impacts his face and makes him soar through the sky so fast that his body disappears from my sight and visibly heats the air around him.

Chasing after him, I don't give him a moment to steady himself before my hands grab his leg and throw him further in the southeast direction, sending him further away from the city.

As I chase after his body, I glance below and see a bunch of plains all around. This means that we are getting close to the place that means so much to the two of us. After all, that's where he got his ass handed out to him.

A smile forms on my face and I blast towards him at speeds that make my figure blur and seconds later, I fly into the clouds, come above them and gaze at the heavily breathing Homelander.

Sunlight from the distant sun casts a beautiful hue across the clear blue untainted sky as the fluffy white clouds below us gently sway with the wind.

I feel refreshed as I take in the unpolluted and fresh scent of the air. Why haven't I done this before? Ah yes, that's because my body couldn't handle the pressure. But look at me now, chilling above seventy thousand feet with no problems.

Yep, after everything, I'll try going into space.

The view must be amazing up there.

"Are you done resting? Good, this is where everything gets trippy."

I comment cooly and turn my attention to him as he looks at me with unbridled fear.

"H-How did you get this powerful!? You aren't supposed to be like this!"

He screams with a face full of disbelief and when I hover forward, he subconsciously takes a step back in fear.

"Unlike you who just got lucky, this is all me. This is all science, you are just an imperfect product....you don't even realize the drug has fucked you up."

I remark as I slowly hover towards him.

"W-What do you mean!? There's nothing wrong with me, I'm perfect!. I see what you're trying to do, you're trying to make me lower my guard but that won't work. I will kill you!"

He shouts hysterically with a look devoid of reasoning and dashes toward me.

What's happening? Why the hell did he just turn crazy? Hmmm, let me take a look.

....Oh I see, what's going on now? Those horrendous veins are the reason why he has bursts of madness and because of how I'm humiliating him they have been successful in making him mad.

The whole world should thank me after this cause if I didn't come, after a few more months he would've gone batshit crazy and I don't even want to think about what he would've done.

I shake my head, vertically raise my left hand and let it fall towards him.

<Pah!>

Almost instantly, a huge hand [Psychokinetic Construct] is created and slams down on him, making him plummet downwards at extreme speed.

I swoop through the hole he created in the sea of clouds and chase after his descending figure.

A large range of mountains together with plains comes into my view below as I arrive next to his body, straighten my torso, and hit him with an axe kick that sends him flying straight towards the peak of one of the huge rocky mountains.

<Boom!>

His body impacts the peak and destroys it as he sinks deep into it.

He tries to get out but I focus on the mountain and stretch out my fingers. The whole mountain starts to shake, crack, break and visibly condense around his figure as I slowly lower my fingers in a crushing gesture.

When he realizes what's happening, he tries to claw out of his crater but gets stuck as the rocky surface covers him and stops him from moving.

He shouts and destroys them using his [Bio-electric Aura] but more coalesce around him and thoroughly cover him till even his voice gets muffled.

The whole mountain surroundings shake as if there is an earthquake, killing and destroying the lifeforms around and also devastating the surrounding areas as the huge mountain gradually morphed into a sphere.

My fingers eventually morph into a fist and with that the trembling stops. In place of the mountain, there is a titanic sphere of eight thousand feet sitting in a large and very deep crater.

The surroundings of the mountain are completely destroyed. The surrounding lands are completely leveled with large fissures in them, the other close mountain areas and plains either have cracks in them or completely destroyed trees.

....This is power, pure unadulterated power. With just one move I've changed the entire landscape, and the crazy part of it all is that I don't feel any exhaustion. Hell, I feel I can do way more than this.

In fact, I could've done this in one move but I wanted it to have more impact on those watching.

Now that I've gotten the data I need, it's time to end this charade.

Closing my eyes, I release the full extent of my [Hyper Awareness].

"Agh."

I groan as instantly, almost unlimited amounts of information start pouring into my head. I can see..no in fact feel everything. The air vibrations, the detailed and precise measurements of both living and non-living bodies including the heat and air pressure of everything in the whole country.... even Canada.

A mind-shattering headache assaults me as the range increases so I shut it off.

"Haa...haa.. that was fucking intense."

I breathe as the headache slowly fades. I-I...

sigh, let me finish dealing with him first. I will discuss this later.

Surprisingly, he is still alive and is actively trying to break away. His whole body is bruised though with his suit in tatters, hmm, let's see how he survives this then.

With my fingers stretched, I focus on the sphere and make it condense gradually. The sphere starts trembling and in a minute the large uneven sphere reduces in size and becomes smooth and ball-shaped. It now has a height of four thousand feet.

Let's see him now.

Both of my hands stretch with my fingers as my fingers spread apart in a claw-like form. Then, I make them lie horizontally and move them apart like I'm trying to rip something and this makes the middle of the ball start stretching apart.

<Rumble! Rumble!...>

The ball shakes tremendously as it stretches and after thirty seconds, a bloody and tired Homelander can be seen in the middle.

.....He looks very miserable,... I kinda feel sorry for him but oh well, this needs to be done.

"How do you feel John?"

I ask as calmly fly to his position.

".....I-I-I w-will kill you. I-I'm a-a God."

He stutters with a crazy look as he coughs out blood. From what I'm seeing, most of his internal organs are destroyed.

The remaining ones are slowly trying to heal but the damage is too intensive so the healing is gradually slowing.

Externally, one of his eyes, hand, and leg is crushed. His wounds are healing though, but even if they heal completely he wouldn't live much longer.

It's time for the finisher, I've been wanting to try this for a while now. My true trump card.

I close my eyes and manifest metaphysical tendrils attached to my brain and extend them into his mind. They rapidly move and insert inside his cerebrum, and replicate till they completely dominate the brain.

All of this takes just a second.

"It was nice meeting you John, have fun in hell or whatever place you find yourself at. Now, bite off your tongue."

I whisper as my eyes glow.

Homelander's eyes lose focus and the next moment, he uses all his remaining strength to bite off his tongue.

Immediately, he starts to choke on his own blood and after two minutes he dies.

"....I'm the Apex predator now."

I mummer and with a wave of my hand, the crack closes, burying his body.

I turn, gaze into the sky, and breathe out with a smile full of satisfaction.

Now that the play has ended, it's time to start the next phase: dominating this planet.
