Superman's Saiyan little brother

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: The Long-Lost Nickname "Little Bug"



"After three days apart, one should view the other with new eyes. My current strength is not something the past me could compare to!" Robert smiled confidently, looking toward the direction of the frosty mist, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can watch from here. If I can't handle them, then you can step in later, right?"

Robert had heard the Martian Hunter's intention to intervene earlier. To prevent the Martian Hunter from seizing the opportunity to fight the Frost Giants—a group of enemies—Robert spoke first, suggesting the Martian Hunter provide support from the rear. This way, even if the Martian Hunter wanted to intervene, he would have to wait until Robert showed signs of defeat, unless the Martian Hunter wanted to strain their relationship further.

"Alright then!" Hearing Robert's words, the Martian Hunter was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement, ready to step in if Robert was unable to overcome the Frost Giants.

"Hmm?" Just as Robert was about to make his move, he sensed a familiar presence, and his smartphone, stored within his wrist space, also began to ring.

Robert didn't know how Joel managed this, as the wrist space didn't completely block the phone's signal. However, at the moment, Robert had no intention of taking out the phone, as he already knew who was calling...

Indeed, the caller was none other than Tony Stark. After having two suits of armor destroyed by Laufey in succession, Tony was still pondering how to figure out exactly what was happening inside the frosty mist when it began to spread globally. The global climate change also made it impossible for Tony to sit still any longer.

Compared to other crises, a crisis that could affect the entire Earth's climate environment was undoubtedly more severe. This sort of crisis could even be said to be more dangerous than some demon lord-level invaders, as the impact of a demon lord-level entity was limited to a small area, unless that demon lord had started to rule Earth. Other than the area affected by the demon lord's descent, people elsewhere might not be much aware of it.

However, Laufey and the Frost Giants were different; their impact was global. By now, the number of people dying from the abnormal cold was far greater than those affected by previous demonic destructions. Some regions had never experienced such severe cold, not even having a winter, and their bodies could not withstand such sudden drops in temperature...

Thus, Tony Stark couldn't just sit and wait, even knowing the dangers of the frosty mist. He rushed over, deploying all his armors, and contacting Robert.

What Tony Stark didn't expect was that before he could get through to Robert, Robert's voice had already appeared in his mind: "I already know what's happening. Wait below; there are my companions and an ice casket down there. That ice casket should be their goal here. Guard it with my companions!"

"Ah? Okay!" Tony instinctively wanted to ask if his Iron Legion should help, but then quickly realized that with Robert's destructive power, his Iron Legion might just end up as cannon fodder, not even qualified to watch, let alone help.

Therefore, Tony Stark willingly left the sky and headed toward the ground. Of course, he also left a suit of armor to remotely observe Robert's battle...

While Robert didn't waste any more words with Tony Stark, to prevent the Martian Hunter from snatching the kill, he charged directly toward the frosty mist, his hands forming a Kamehameha wave!

Robert opened with a heavy-hitting move, planning to resolve the frosty mist affecting the weather before anything else!

"Didn't detect any powerhouses... Hmm?!" Meanwhile, inside the frosty mist, Laufey hadn't detected any extraordinary powers on Earth. Since scouting wasn't his strong suit—he had decent vision but couldn't peer through Earth like Clark—it was impossible. After observing for a while, Laufey didn't notice anything unusual, but just as he began to speak, he sensed a crisis approaching!

"Damn it!" Without any hesitation, although he hadn't figured out what the crisis was exactly, Laufey chose to counterattack immediately. Laufey could handle many attacks, but that didn't mean his people could withstand them as well!

With a "buzz," a bluish ice light blasted from within the frosty mist, targeting the Kamehameha wave. Initially, the ice light seemed to freeze the Kamehameha wave, but soon, the powerful destructive force and heat within the Kamehameha wave shattered the icy power!

The two vastly different energies collided outside the frosty mist, and no winner was decided in the short term, surprising the nearby Martian Hunter and the suit of armor left by Tony Stark.

The Martian Hunter was surprised that Robert's displayed strength seemed many times stronger than before. Robert hadn't used the transformation that seemed uncontrollable during their previous battle. Now

, the Martian Hunter understood why Robert was so confident earlier...

And Tony Stark, observing the battle from afar through his armor, was surprised that with Robert's destructive capabilities, he hadn't managed to destroy the bluish ice light. Even though Tony had seen the power of the bluish ice light before, he had also witnessed the power of Robert's Kamehameha wave. Each time Robert used this move, Tony worried whether Robert might accidentally obliterate Earth...

"Iron Man?" As Tony Stark watched Robert's battle while heading to the ground, Peter Parker's voice, filled with surprise, rang in his ears. They were well aware of this famous superhero, so they were astonished to see Tony Stark appear here.

"Are you all companions of the Saiyan? Is this the ice casket? The Saiyan asked me to come and help." Tony Stark nodded at Peter Parker and others, also noticing the unconscious Pietro and Lorna nearby, and he frowned.

Initially, Tony Stark thought that Peter Parker's group didn't seem very formidable. But when he saw Pietro and Lorna floating mid-air, he realized that those called companions by Robert were definitely not ordinary people!

"Are you here to help? Are the enemies here?" Peter Parker's eyes brightened as he scanned the surroundings and asked.

"Not yet, Robert's battle has just started..." Tony Stark fell silent for a moment before displaying the battle scene in the high skies through one of his armors.

Tony Stark couldn't figure out the situation inside the frosty mist, but observing the situation outside the mist wasn't difficult for him.

"There's such a method; now we don't have to foolishly wait..." Johnny Stone saw the image in front of him, his eyes lighting up with admiration.

"It doesn't seem to have the upper hand. What exactly is inside that frosty mist? Must be a person, right? It can't be some alien spaceship, can it?" Tony Stark observed the battle situation, muttering to himself.

In fact, compared to the presence of a biological entity inside the frosty mist, Tony Stark would prefer it to be a spacecraft. At least that would be a technological force, which might be helpful to him?

However, Tony Stark also knew this was unlikely. It's not possible that the nearby ice casket was some kind of spaceship energy source, right? Jarvis had already scanned the ice casket, concluding that it was incomprehensible...

Meanwhile, high in the sky, as the clash between Robert and Laufey's forces momentarily resulted in no clear victor, Robert didn't hesitate to activate his Great Ape Power · Rage transformation. In an instant, the previously stalemated Kamehameha wave and the bluish ice light decisively parted ways, with the Kamehameha wave deeply penetrating the frosty mist, causing it to explode on the spot, revealing Laufey and a host of Frost Giants flying out.

If not for Laufey's quick reaction, throwing his people out in time, his people would have likely died on the spot under the assault of the Kamehameha wave.

Fortunately, the frosty mist wasn't just simple mist. It absorbed a significant amount of the Kamehameha wave's damage, as it was a powerful force condensed by the Frost Giants while smuggling through the spatial channel. Otherwise, the frosty mist wouldn't have had such a significant impact on Earth's climate.

"You carry the scent of the ice casket!" As the frosty mist dispersed, Laufey absorbed the remaining frosty mist into his body, revealing his true form and growing in size. His gaze fixed on Robert as he spoke in a deep voice, "You have stolen the treasure of the Frost Giants!"

"So it was for that ice casket!" Robert nodded in understanding, feeling the surrounding temperature no longer dropping, and then turned to Laufey to counter, "So, this is why you came to Earth and severely impacted our climate?"

"Correct! Hand over the ice casket, and we will leave Earth!" Laufey stared deeply at Robert, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. He hadn't sensed any divine power on Robert, but the power Robert had previously unleashed made Laufey cautious. He hadn't figured out Robert's full capabilities yet, and he noticed a mech and a phantom-like figure in the distance, making Laufey somewhat reluctant to continue the fight, preferring to retrieve the ice casket first...

If Laufey hadn't initially chosen to drift around Earth, seeking possible extraordinary powers, perhaps the Martian Hunter wouldn't have come, and Laufey would only have had to deal with Robert near the ice casket.

"Hehe, you come to Earth, cause such severe impact, and you think not only of leaving but also of taking the ice casket back with you? Your thing looks so ugly, why would you think it's so beautiful?" Hearing Laufey's words, Robert couldn't help but laugh out loud.

 In his view, Laufey was being too presumptuous.

"Whoosh!" As soon as Robert's words fell, Laufey brazenly attacked. His massive form turned into a blur, charging directly at Robert, apparently having failed to negotiate and instead opting for a surprise attack!

But as the battle began, even though Robert was still talking, he wasn't distracted. The moment Laufey disappeared, Robert had already keenly perceived it and even saw through Laufey's attack, launching a counterattack!

"Boom!" Dodging Laufey's claws, Robert landed a punch on Laufey's chest, sending his form flying back, and it seemed like some ice shards fell from Laufey's chest...

However, the scene looked somewhat strange at the moment. Robert was already quite tall, but facing the king of the Frost Giants, Laufey, he still seemed somewhat small. At that moment, Laufey stood about thirty meters tall, which could only be said that such a battle didn't seem quite fair.

Of course, height isn't the only measure of strength. Although Robert was much smaller than Laufey, his punch still sent Laufey flying back. Still, such a battle made Robert somewhat uncomfortable...

"Buzz!" As Laufey was sent flying back, a cold stream burst from his body, different from the previous frosty mist and not affecting as large an area, but it transformed the small area into Laufey's domain!

"Go find the ice casket! I've sensed the location of the ice casket; it's in that direction on the ground!" After releasing his domain, Laufey didn't rush to attack but instead directed the surrounding Frost Giants in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The Frost Giants, having absolute trust in Laufey, promptly moved towards the direction Laufey pointed. Nearby, the Martian Hunter frowned, glanced at Robert, then at Tony Stark and Peter Parker below, and ultimately chose not to intervene.

"Now it's your turn, little bug, you've angered me!" Seeing his subordinates not being stopped, Laufey looked at Robert with a ferocious smile, coldly saying, "Did you enjoy that punch just now?!"

"Little bug? It's been a long time since I heard that nickname!" Hearing Laufey's words, a ferocious smile also emerged on Robert's face, his features continuously changing as his form suddenly expanded, transforming into a different species in a manner incomprehensible to Laufey and the nearby Martian Hunter...

Sorry for the delay, this chapter counts for yesterday.
