chapter 170 part 2
*Hoo—*
In mid-air, Colin exhaled. Biting cold air emanated from his body, instantly freezing the boomerang into a mass encased in thick ice.
*Boom, boom, boom—*
Reaching out to grab the ice ball, Colin activated his **Super Speed**. He shot through the layers of prison walls and the Thunderbolts base like a missile, instantly flying into the sky above Governors Island.
"Go."
He swung the ice-encased nuclear warhead in his hand and, channeling his **Super Strength**, hurled it violently into the sky. Under the immense force, the warhead traced a long trajectory in the sky, and after a while, a huge tearing sound echoed. It then erupted violently thousands of meters above Governors Island, creating a flashing fireball and shockwave. By the time the nuclear warhead exploded, Colin had already returned to the prison. This entire process, though seemingly complex, was accomplished in mere seconds by Colin using **Super Speed**.
*Boom!*
"It seems I've been a bit too lenient with you all."
Controlling his body as he landed on the prison ground, creating a violent impact and dust cloud. Within the dense dust, Colin's eyes glowed with a dangerous red light, and he spoke in a flat tone. "You've all become too presumptuous. Since you've chosen this way to fight, then I shall grant your wish…"
"Brock, I'm about to wet myself from fear."
Looking at the scarlet eyes flickering in the dust, Boomerang swallowed hard and said tremblingly to Crossbones beside him.
"Shut up!"
Crossbones snapped at Boomerang in a low voice, his own expression equally grim. He hadn't expected that even a nuclear warhead wouldn't harm Colin.
*Roar—*
If anyone at the scene was unaffected by Colin, it was only Mister Hyde, who had transformed into a monster. Having completely lost its sanity, it couldn't perceive the dangerous aura emanating from Colin. With a deafening roar, it unhesitatingly charged towards Colin in the dust.
*Roar—*
"Ah!"
However, before Mister Hyde could get close, the **Heat Vision** emitted from Colin's eyes instantly pierced through its massive body. Two beams of terrifyingly hot red light left charred holes in Mister Hyde's body. Colin then flashed and instantly appeared in front of it.
"You know?"
Gazing at Mister Hyde's face, which had become even more contorted in pain, Colin spoke softly in a calm tone, "You're the first to experience my full power. I hope you can withstand it, because if you can't…"
"Then you'll just have to die."
As he spoke, Colin raised his arm. Tremendous force erupted with a terrifying ripping sound within the prison. Despite Colin's warning, Mister Hyde, though irrational, let out a primal roar under the threat of death and raised its thick arms to clash with him. However, this clash lasted less than half a second before ending with Mister Hyde's scream. Amidst its pained wails, its massive body, over three meters tall, was sent flying, crashing through several thick prison walls before finally coming to a halt. Simultaneously, Mister Hyde's arm, thick as a person's torso, was shattered by the impact of the force. If one were to examine its arm, they would see that both the muscles and bones within had been pulverized by the shock.
Ignoring the flying Mister Hyde, Colin's gaze quickly fell upon Moonstone nearby.
"Next, it's your turn."
"No, you won't!"
Seeing Colin rapidly approaching, a flicker of fear flashed in Kara's eyes. Screaming, she turned and, disregarding everything, attempted to flee the prison.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Gazing at Moonstone's rapidly receding figure, Colin's eyes narrowed slightly. Under **Super X-Ray Vision**, Moonstone's body began to turn transparent in his eyes, her skin, muscles, and bones becoming visible. As his eyes scanned, Colin immediately spotted an object emitting a faint glow within Kara's body. That was the Moonstone Gem, integrated into her body, and the source of Kara's power. Colin's pupils then turned red, and **Heat Vision** was instantly emitted from his eyes, accurately piercing through Moonstone's Moonstone Armor and striking the Moonstone Gem within her body.
"No!"
With Moonstone's scream and exclamation, the gem within her body detached, and she immediately fell to the ground, creating a long gouge.
"Now, it's your turn."
His gaze swept over the dimly glowing Moonstone Gem that had fallen to the ground from Moonstone's body. Colin casually picked it up.

After seeing the text flash, he then turned to look at Crossbones and the others nearby.
