I, the Younger Brother of Superman, Obtained the Thanos Template

David spun around, his eyes emitting energy rays that scorched the air, but the tall and robust icy figure stood in the void, hands clasped behind his back, doing nothing.

A powerful protective field detected the energy attack forming around him, like hitting an immovable transparent glass dome, deflecting the energy rays.

"Not a bad ion energy attack," he commented indifferently.

"Brainiac."

Seeing the distinctive green skin, David's gaze sharpened.

Brainiac possessed countless bodies created by technology, some biological, some mechanical, but generally, they shared a common feature: green skin and baldness.

Clark's back tensed as he sized up the man before him.

The strong muscles on this person didn't seem bloated at all, giving him an oppressive aura like that of a deity.

"Do you want me to let him go? As you wish."

David released his grip, allowing the mechanical Superman to fall towards the ground. From such a height, the mechanical Superman wouldn't be killed.

Facing the unfathomably powerful Brainiac, it wasn't a wise choice to let the mechanical Superman occupy one of his hands.

"With such damage to your body, you still insist on fighting."

Without even looking at his subordinate thrown from the sky, Brainiac surveyed the scene with an air of supreme confidence, his gaze passing over Batman in Fin Fang Foom's Armor, and he remarked.

"I acknowledge the will of your spirit."

His biological shell was based on the Kryptonians, whose psychic abilities were a thousand times superior to those of Kryptonians, and had undergone multiple genetic modifications, with eyes capable of far-sightedness, X-ray vision, and other abilities to observe at the molecular level.

Batman, who had once undergone hellish training in the League of Shadows, had acquired formidable combat skills but also left many hidden injuries on his body. Coupled with the new and old wounds from fighting crime in Gotham, his body was almost riddled with holes.

Piloting such a massive and powerful armor wasn't just about pressing buttons. Understanding Batman's physical condition, Brainiac couldn't help but admire him.

"The mysteries of the universe, many are as clear to me as the lines on my palm. Only the mind remains a domain I have yet to fully comprehend. The same genes, the same physical conditions, yet some people can achieve what others cannot."

"Are you Brainiac?"

Batman didn't feel a hint of joy from the praise of this powerful being, whom the mechanical Superman called the creator. His body tensed, ready for battle, he watched Brainiac closely, fearing any slight movement.
