.....

The Kryptonian spaceship, a colossal presence hovering above Metropolis, emitted a thick white gravity wave toward the ground.

Under the influence of this wave, countless people and vehicles were flung into the air, and people inside buildings were pulled skyward by the force.

Roger, who had just arrived in Metropolis, witnessed this scene the moment he arrived.

A countless number of people screamed and wailed in terror, calling out for help as they floated in the air, their voices filled with fear and despair.

All Roger could do was watch, helplessly, and then...

He watched as they fell back down with the second wave, crashing heavily onto the ground.

*Boom!!*

The deafening roar of the gravity wave drowned out the sounds of their fall, their screams, and the noise of their bodies hitting the ground.

But sound couldn't obscure the scene. Roger watched as these people struck the ground at speeds far greater than that of a normal fall, their bodies smashing into a bloody mess, flesh and blood scattering like thin paper, mixing with the dust and debris on the ground.

Hovering in mid-air, Roger stared blankly, as if paralyzed with fear. He rubbed his throat, feeling something churn in his stomach.

Was it anxiety? Fear?

It didn't seem to be either.

This was the first time Roger had witnessed such a horrific sight firsthand. Even in the world of The Boys, he had never seen such a scene, not even on television.

Disgust... didn't quite describe it. Instead, Roger just felt a profound sense of helplessness, as if there was nothing he could do in that moment. He had never felt so powerless before.

Roger's journey had always been smooth, whether in the world of The Boys or the Marvel universe.

Even in the X-Men world, when facing what he considered potentially the most formidable enemy he'd ever encountered, Apocalypse, Roger hadn't faced much difficulty.

This had given Roger a certain illusion, that he could achieve anything he set his mind to, as long as he was willing to put in the effort.

So, Roger believed he could save the people of Metropolis, just as he had saved the people of Cairo.

But now, Roger realized he was wrong.

He was immensely strong, capable of firing lasers that could cut through anything, seeing and hearing everything, with skin tougher than the hardest materials on Earth.

But he couldn't do everything.

Superhuman strength is invincible to humans and most other life forms, calling him a god among men wouldn't be an exaggeration. Yet this power couldn't save those who had already been caught by the gravity wave.

"Roger!!"

While Roger stood there, unsure of what to do, he heard Jean's voice.

Hovering near the gravity wave, Roger's presence was a clear dark spot, making it easy for Jean to spot him, and she quickly flew over to join him.

Standing beside Roger, Jean looked at the horrific scene before them, unable to hold back her gasp as she covered her mouth. She turned to Roger and asked:
