"It's you! You traitor dare show your face? I'll kill you!!"
The Kryptonian warrior charged in a blind rage.
Only to be taught a harsh lesson by a few of Azuma's punches.
"You're too weak."
Azuma grabbed him. This guy's strength paled compared to the Kryptonians he'd taken down earlier—nothing like Fiora.
He didn't even need to drag him out of the sunlight. Azuma simply seized his head and twisted hard!
Crack!
The neck spun 180 degrees in an instant.
This average Kryptonian warrior was no match for Azuma's power.
Azuma clocked in at 830,000 tons of strength.
This guy? Maybe 500,000 tons at best.
In every other aspect, he was far inferior too.
Fighting him was like a father disciplining a son.
Holding the corpse with one hand, Azuma shot into the sky with a bang. At a few hundred meters up, he scanned the ground below and quickly spotted the three remaining Kryptonian warriors, now grouped together, slaughtering humans.
Clearly—
They were venting their fury this way.
Seeing this, Azuma dove toward them in a flash.
Before he even landed, he hurled the corpse in his hand.
BOOM!
A thunderous crash rang out. One warrior, who'd just grabbed a human, was struck by the flung body, instantly crushed and driven into the ground.
The human, lacking a Kryptonian's steel body, exploded into a mist of blood, not a shred left behind.
Azuma didn't even glance at it. He swooped down, grabbed another warrior, and pummeled his face with dozens of brutal punches.
The warrior was dazed in seconds.
His armor's visor shattered, his nose snapped under Azuma's blows, blood pouring down his face!
Skin that could shrug off missiles was no match for Azuma's fists, which quickly demonstrated why flowers are so red.
Another warrior rushed to help, only to be sent flying with a single kick from Azuma.
Dead!
A blast of heat vision seared into the bloodied warrior's face.
With a bang, the back of his skull exploded!
Nine kills achieved!
Azuma let go, the headless corpse crumpling to the ground.
Thanks to his bio-force field, not a drop of blood or speck of dust touched him.
Turning, Azuma eyed the warrior leaping out of the ground.
Seeing his comrade's body, the Kryptonian's eyes blazed red as he charged.
Bang!
Azuma's hand clamped around his throat, the other catching his fist and twisting hard!
Crack!
"AAAAHHH!!"
The warrior screamed in agony.
Azuma's grip tightened, 830,000 tons of force surging through his palm. Even this Kryptonian's steel body couldn't withstand it.
In an instant—
His neck shrank, bulging grotesquely at both ends. His eyes rolled back, lifeless.
Ten kills achieved!
As Azuma released him, a timely system chime sounded in his ear.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the hidden achievement "Kill Ten Kryptonians." Reward: +1 Extraction Count!]
Azuma's eyes lit up at the prompt.
This was a bonus?
He quickly opened his panel to check.
Sure enough—
His extraction count, previously zero, was now one.
Sweet!
With the mission completion reward later, that'd be three extraction chances total!
Next time he entered a new Marvel or DC world, adding the free extraction that came with it—
That'd be four chances!
Four shots at pulling traits. As long as he didn't land in some weak-sauce comic universe, his power could jump another tier!
Wait—
Could he extract traits from other Kryptonians and stack them onto his current [Steel Body Superman] trait?
With that thought, Azuma's gaze snapped to the raging Kryptonian charging at him from afar.
"No, I've only got one extraction right now. Can't waste it on trash like this."
Azuma shook his head, then looked skyward.
Up there—
A far better target awaited!
"I'll kill you!!!"
The furious Kryptonian had lost all reason.
Roaring, his eyes glowed red as he rushed forward, looking like he'd unleash heat vision any second.
But he didn't!
Azuma backhanded him, sending him flying.
"Annoying pest!"
A flicker of impatience crossed Azuma's face. He vanished from the spot, reappearing in pursuit of the airborne warrior.
With a deafening BOOM, a hundred-meter skyscraper was cleaved in half.
The top several dozen meters collapsed, sending people below screaming and scattering in panic!
Azuma, one hand on the warrior's throat, dragged him through five or six more buildings before finishing him with a heat vision blast.
Eleven kills achieved!
No extra achievement rewards this time, though.
Grabbing the corpse, Azuma returned to the earlier site, retrieved the other three bodies, and rocketed out of the atmosphere with all four in tow.
"Off you go!"
One by one, he flung the corpses toward the moon.
With that done—
He turned back toward Metropolis.
By now, Metropolis was a wasteland.
Especially the city center.
First, the Kryptonian ship's gravity device had flattened a huge chunk.
Then Azuma's brawl with the four warriors had toppled countless buildings.
You'd think it'd be over by now, right?
Nope!
A black ship crashed from the sky.
Unlike a body, this thing was massive!
So—
The already ravaged Metropolis got plowed over again.
This time—
Nearly a fifth of the city center was obliterated!
The crashed ship, though? Barely a scratch.
It was tough—
Way tougher than Earth's buildings.
So—
The skyscrapers fell, but the ship's exterior showed no real damage.
Inside, though, was another story.
Clark's heat vision had blasted through the ship's incubation chamber, destroying every embryo carrying Kryptonian genes.
That move—
It drove Zod completely insane!
