Although he didn't understand the consequences of the other party losing control, he knew it wouldn't be a good outcome.
Mera, on the other hand, frowned. She could feel the terrifying energy within the blue-skinned guy.
Struggling to control the energy within his body, Captain Atom panted and said to Eric: "Perhaps, I can make the right choice!"
His voice grew weaker, "Do you remember? Homelander, you once fought for this country too. At that time, you thought of others more than yourself. I had orders to take your life at the right time."
"Now is my last chance!"
With that, he burned the last bit of controllable energy within his body and, with the fastest speed he could muster, rushed forward and embraced Eric's back.
He pushed off with his feet, and his entire body, like a rocket, shot into the sky with Eric.
Eric looked at Captain Atom, who was embracing him from behind, feeling a slight surprise. He hadn't expected this guy to go to such lengths.
The speed of his counterattack before Death was so fast that even he was a little slow to react.
"Don't waste your effort! You can't kill me, because I'm already dead! And the dead me will take you down with me!"
Captain Atom saw Eric trying to break free and panted as he said to him.
"Kyle!"
Nightwing, who had noticed the commotion from the metahuman prison, had already arrived.
However, what she saw upon arriving at the scene was a sight that made her eyes burn with rage.
She roared and immediately rushed into the sky, ready to intercept the opponent.
But her speed was clearly no match for Captain Atom's maximum speed, which was unleashed with all his life energy. She could only watch helplessly as Eric disappeared from her sight.
Although the distance between them grew wider and wider, Nightwing did not give up. She gritted her teeth, holding her Vulcan Sword, and rapidly pursued Eric and Captain Atom's figures.
In a blink of an eye, Eric and Captain Atom had already broken through the atmosphere.
Captain Atom, who could no longer control the energy within his body, also stopped holding back, allowing all the energy within him to erupt.
The explosion, with a power comparable to ten atomic bombs, emitted a dazzling light in space.
A powerful beam of light, carrying a shockwave, transmitted inwards towards the atmosphere.
The first to bear the brunt was Nightwing!
Blasted by the dazzling shockwave, she raised her bracelet-clad hands to shield her forehead.
The bracelets absorbed some of the impact energy, but she was still blasted downwards by the nuclear explosion energy.
Wonder Woman and the others standing on the ground also felt the power of the powerful nuclear bomb explosion.
The ground trembled and shook.
Blinding light beams and booming explosions rushed towards the ground.
The strong winds howled, and Wonder Woman and the others were pushed back repeatedly.
The ground had suffered such an attack, so Wonder Woman could imagine how powerful the nuclear explosion in the sky would be!
Deathstroke put away his Cloud Stick, looked up at the daylight illuminated as if by the sun, and said with a complex expression: "The power of Captain Atom's self-detonation is comparable to a one-million-ton explosion. It's estimated that even Homelander wouldn't survive such an explosion."
Wonder Woman listened to Deathstroke's words, looked up in a daze, and muttered to herself: "Homelander is dead?!"
The guy she had been painstakingly waiting to get revenge on was so easily destroyed by Captain Atom's self-detonation?!
Immediately, she felt a sense of unreality.
Green Arrow and Black Canary embraced each other, their expressions complex as they looked at the strong light above.
Green Arrow felt some sadness over the Death of his friend.
Although he hadn't known Captain Atom for a long time, he had already formed a deep friendship with this guy who had an "air force style" and constantly emphasized that he was a soldier.
Now seeing the other party, for the sake of so-called military orders, pulling Homelander into a self-detonation after Death, he genuinely felt pain for this friend he had only recently met.
On the other side, in the sky.
Eric's body was covered in wounds from Captain Atom's self-detonation, and his uniform was tattered.
He floated in the air, mixed with the debris from the "nuclear explosion," rapidly drifting in the sky.
But due to the presence of the moon, Queen Hecate's "blessing" began to take effect, rapidly healing the injuries within his body.
