"You coward," Juggernaut spat out, his anger making it hard for him to think clearly.
He was too mentally unstable to realize how dangerous his situation was.
'Is it just me, or are meta-humans stupid?' Reign thought to himself. He felt like they were either too dumb or built to be dumb.
They didn't show the careful planning or smart thinking one might expect from powerful beings. Instead, they reacted with anger or fear, not taking the time to think things through properly.
Even Red took too long to figure out how to use his powers effectively, and in the end, he failed to improve his fighting style, completely wasting his potential and excess power.
This showed a lack of battle sense and overall intelligence.
Reign began to wonder if meta-humans had to sacrifice their IQ to gain such outrageous and unbalanced abilities.
"RELEASE ME! YOU COWARD! FIGHT ME FAIR AND SQUARE!" Juggernaut spat out.
"What a let down," Reign shook his head, growing more disappointed as time passed.
He couldn't believe that Juggernaut had managed to hurt him before. It felt like his perfect record had been tainted by that fight.
Well, at least with everything related to this city being destroyed, he could bury this embarrassment.
Reign flew closer to the flood of monsters, their roiling body a chaotic, disgusting sea of writhing limbs and twisted faces.
As he hovered above the flood, he held Juggernaut tightly, allowing the meta-human to see the horrific scene below.
The meta-human, still struggling in Reign's grip, began to speak, his voice filled with both anger and desperation.
"You think you've won?" he spat out, his breath ragged.
"I've got plans—big plans! I am going to crush you, take you down, and—"
Reign cut him off with a cruel smile. "Any last words before you go for a swim? "
He slowly began to lower the meta-human toward the flood.
"You—"
Reign cut him off and let his body fall toward the flood.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" The meta-human's screams echoed as he was swallowed by countless monsters .
The corrupted creatures surged over him, they started devouring him as he struggled against the relentless tide.
Meanwhile, Reign watched from above, a faint smirk curling on his lips. He was intrigued and excited to see what would happen next.
After a few moments, a strange phenomenon began to unfold.
The chains tightened, digging into his flesh and making any attempt to struggle useless. Reign then buried him in the ground, covering him completely with dirt.
"I'll deal with you later," Reign said.
Without wasting another moment, he launched himself into the sky, his body cutting through the air like a missile.
Below him, the wave of corrupted creatures surged forward.
Reign flew down toward them and started throwing javelins.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Each javelin exploded when it hit, sending huge bursts of fire through the ranks of the corrupted and burning them up.
With every blast, he pushed the remaining corrupted creatures further back, ensuring that no corner was left untouched by his attack.
After a while, the horde of corrupted creatures spread out so much that he figured it was too much trouble to chase them all.
He hovered in the air for a moment, looking down at the destruction he had caused.
Reign then slowly landed among the piles of dead bodies. Dark tendrils shot out from his body, twisting and wriggling as they spread across the field.
They reached out and hit the corpses with a penetrating pierce .
As they touched the bodies, the flesh and bones started to shrink and wither as their remaining vitality was sucked out and absorbed by Reign.
[DING!]
[DING!]
[DING!]
[DING!]
[DING!]
The sound of notifications echoed in his ears, letting him know he had collected a lot.
He knew that this successful run was not just due to his own abilities but also because of Juggernaut's help, which had made a big difference.
"That guy is an idiot, but he has his uses," Reign thought with a smirk. "Maybe I should strap him up and use him as a meat shield or something.... A shield that reflects everything."
It was a crazy idea, but completely logical and functional.
He thought about how he could just put a gag on the meta-human to stop him from talking nonsense, and then use him as the ultimate shield.
