Heaven's Wrath

Through the swirling mist, Soren saw Clark being grabbed by Lobo and punched away with no resistance.

In the clear, pale blue sky, Clark was falling rapidly from the clouds.

His long limbs hung limply, and his body, which held the world's kindest soul, seemed drained of life, like a fallen deity.

He was falling too fast, from the sky to the ground in the blink of an eye, and was about to crash into the crowd below.

A white figure immediately shot up to the sky.

The Angemon spread its six dazzling white wings, reaching out its arms to catch the falling deity.

The fluttering white wings, like six large arms, enveloped both of them, creating a pure white nest around them.

At this moment, it was like the barefoot saint Bartholomew of Jerusalem.

The devout saint held his deity close with gentle and tender care.

The strong impact made the Angemon's honey-colored hair flutter in the wind, each strand reflecting brilliant light.

Clark who is struggling through the pain, lifted his eyes to see the Angemon's pure white figure piercing through his vision.

"!"

The young deity stammered, "Y-you're an angel?"

Soren looked down at Clark, almost exposed and barely covered body, and grinned at him with a gleaming white smile, "No, please call me Angemon."

Clark's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but Soren had already reached out his hand and touched the deep, bone-exposing wound on his right cheek.

The wound, several inches long, was a deep gash in his flesh, with blood slowly dripping from it.

It was as if the bright blue eyes of the Kryptonian...

Were shedding a tear of blood.

Angemon clenched his fists.

...When had he ever seen Clark getting hurt like this?

From the moment he arrived on Earth, he had been guarding Clark.

As long as Clark was in his sight, he couldn't bear to let this Kryptonian bleed a single drop.

Lobo... how dare he?

How dare he?

Soren spread his wings, letting the now-distance Kryptonian leave his embrace.

With a cold and harsh tone, he struggled to control his anger, "Don't ask, don't speak, don't look. You have one second to change into a complete outfit and come back."

—Before he finished speaking, the Kryptonian had disappeared.

Soren hovered in the air, counting silently.

The next moment, there was a sonic boom as Clark, now fully dressed, reappeared beside him.

Soren looked up.

He fixed his gaze on Lobo, who was taking off on his motorcycle, and the conspicuous green ring on his hand.

The Executioner's Staff flashed with a golden light.

Soren flapped his wings and shot into the sky while wielding his staff to face Lobo head-on.

Lobo pulled out a massive Gatling laser gun and, laughing wildly, started turning the crank.

The "rat-tat-tat" of the gun sounded as lasers shot out like a dense rain towards Angemon!

The laser beams filled the sky, like a tangled net.

Angemon roared and spun the Executioner's Staff, blocking each laser beam aimed at him.

The lasers pierced through his wings, but his speed didn't slow down.

In the rain of lasers, he swung the staff at Lobo!

The Executioner's Staff cut through the air like a golden sword, swiftly coming down on Lobo.

Caught off guard, Lobo barely managed to use the Gatling gun to block the staff's attack, but immediately, the staff struck again.

Lobo looked momentarily stunned, then his face twisted into a sneer.

He jumped off the motorcycle and lunged at Angemon, starting a close combat struggle!

The staff in Soren's hands moved with golden afterimages.

His anger made him relentless.

With the wind howling, he struck Lobo on the shoulder, abdomen, and legs multiple times!

The hit areas instantly bled and tore open.

The bounty hunter howled in pain, trying to grab the staff, but as he reached for it, he missed.

In an instant, the Executioner's Staff turned into a stream of data and vanished.

Soren stowed the staff, and his wings quickly folded and then flared out, using the tremendous force to slam into Lobo, sending him flying!

As the Kryptonian was about to join the fight, he heard Angemon's loud roar.

"Stay away from him!"

Clark immediately stopped his flight, like a bullet hitting an invisible wall, hesitating and hovering in the air.

Lobo was sent spinning by Angemon's impact.

Soren, with his six wings flapping, quickly caught up in the air.

He reached out and grabbed Lobo's messy hair, yanking his head back to unbalance him.

"You shouldn't use Kryptonite to hurt him."

Angemon moved closer to Lobo, forcing him to look directly at him.

He sighed softly from his chest, like a solemn warning or a final judgment.

With his wings spread wide, Soren lifted his fist high—

Heaven's Knuckle!

A brilliant white light burst from his fist, as if a second blazing sun appeared in the blue sky.

The light shot out in columns and cascades, instantly turning the entire sky a blinding white.

The Heaven's Knuckle created an explosive shockwave in the air, causing the clouds to roll and surge like giant waves.

Soren's punch pierced through Lobo's body, followed by a second punch, third punch, and fourth punch!

With the first punch, he punched through Lobo's chest.

With the second punch, he crushed Lobo's heart.

With the third punch, Lobo's indestructible body began to heal itself and regrow flesh.

Soren's punch broke all the ribs that had just regenerated.

With the fourth punch, Lobo, in pain and madly struggling, countered with a punch to Soren's chin.

Angemon's head jerked to the side from the force, but the next second, the Heaven's Knuckle struck Lobo again!

Each Heaven's Knuckle grew heavier, sending shockwaves through the air that rippled out.

But when they hit his steel-like body, they stopped silently like waves washing up on a beach.

Clark hovered quietly nearby, watching the one-sided battle unfold.

The Kryptonian was somewhat shocked.

So this is how they fight...

Clark seemed to understand, nodding to himself.
