Superman's Saiyan little brother

As Robert's excitement grew, the oppressive force of Leopard Woman Barbara became less dominant. Particularly as Robert's fighting spirit materialized, Leopard Woman Barbara's combat effectiveness inevitably suffered.

At this moment, Leopard Woman Barbara's state of mind resembled the previously out-of-control Robert. However, there was a significant difference in their loss of control: Robert gained power through anger from witnessing Diana's death, driven by revenge and destruction.

But although Leopard Woman Barbara was also fueled by rage, it was her use of the Leopard God's power within her that led her to lose control—an inverse process to Robert's, resulting in him, aside from critical information about Diana, being unaffected by external influences after losing control...

Leopard Woman Barbara's consciousness was not as stable, so when Robert's tangible and terrifying fighting spirit emerged, even in her uncontrolled state, her attack speed slowed. Her beastly ferocity seemed disadvantaged against Robert's powerful intent.

Even so, Leopard Woman Barbara's combat strength was formidable. Previously, only Robert's transformation into the Great Ape form could outmatch her. Even now, with Robert's enhanced abilities, defeating Leopard Woman Barbara in his normal state remained a challenge...

However, this was exactly what made it a challenge and truly enjoyable to fight. If he had immediately used his Great Ape power to obliterate Leopard Woman Barbara, Robert would not have experienced any growth.

The purpose of developing his Great Ape power was to raise his normal state's limit. His mimic form had already reached the level of a Super Saiyan, even surpassing a newly transformed Super Saiyan, demonstrating the potential of the Great Ape power.

But that still wasn't enough. Robert felt that there was more potential to be unlocked in the Great Ape power, and more such challenging battles would be ideal!

During the fight, Robert's chest was injured again with a new scratch, but compared to being impaled by the Eternal Spear, this was negligible. As he sustained the scratch, he also landed a punch on Leopard Woman Barbara's chest, pushing back the frenzied Leopard Woman Barbara for the first time and halting his own retreat!

Robert felt that Leopard Woman Barbara's arrival was impeccably timed. The ambiguous battles with Diana didn't allow Robert to fully experience his enhanced combat capabilities, whereas an enemy like Leopard Woman Barbara enabled him to quickly familiarize himself with his current power level and continue climbing higher.

With a "bang!", Robert's figure vanished on the spot, taking the initiative to counterattack for the first time since arriving in the wilderness. Leopard Woman Barbara, following her beastly instincts, lunged towards her own side, but Robert wasn't there—only a lingering trace of his presence was left behind, and his form appeared behind her, kicking Leopard Woman Barbara and sending her flying.

Robert closed in, relentless, his fists blurring into shadows, striking Leopard Woman Barbara with a ferocity reminiscent of the Wolf Fang Fist, but much more powerful in speed and strength.

However, the flying Leopard Woman Barbara reacted quickly. She performed a mid-air turn and countered against the flurry of punches, fighting back with her own punches.

She opted for punches because her usual claw strikes required longer preparation and attack time. Leopard Woman Barbara's attack speed was not significantly faster than Robert's; using claw strikes under these conditions could prevent her from matching Robert's pace...

Clearly, Leopard Woman Barbara was less proficient with punches compared to her usual attacks. After hundreds of exchanged blows, despite the divine power surging through her, she missed several of Robert's punches.

During the battle, once the first punch was missed, it was difficult to compensate with the same offensive strategy. As a result, Leopard Woman Barbara was hit by several consecutive punches from Robert, sending her flying once more.

But truth be told, the initial misses were due to Leopard Woman Barbara's combat skills, but being sent flying by Robert at the end was a conscious choice by Leopard Woman Barbara. Even in her uncontrolled state, she realized continuing in this manner was disadvantageous, so switching to her familiar fighting style was crucial.

With a roar as she landed, Leopard Woman Barbara reverted to her familiar combat mode, her claws relentlessly targeting Robert's body, using both hands and feet in a truly fierce beast-like manner, determined to defeat Robert with this familiar style.

But unfortunately for her, how extensive was Robert's combat experience? He had encountered many similar beast-like fighting styles—Wolf Fang Fist, Monkey Fist, Berserker Punch—considered derivatives of this approach. To Robert, such beast-like tactics were blatantly flawed!

Especially after such an extended battle, with the dynamics of power ebbing and flowing, as Robert's strength drew closer to Leopard Woman Barbara's...

Effortlessly dodging Leopard Woman Barbara's lunge, Robert kicked her in the exposed abdomen, sending her flying once more, followed by a powerful energy wave aimed at the stunned Leopard Woman Barbara in mid-air.

Robert had realized during the brief fight that Leopard Woman

 Barbara's combat abilities were impressive; her speed, strength, and endurance were slightly superior to his normal state. However, like previous animal warriors, Leopard Woman Barbara lacked the ability to launch energy attacks, devoid of long-range capabilities.

Lacking long-range attack abilities didn't inherently make someone weaker, but undoubtedly, it was a significant disadvantage against similarly powered opponents, leaving them with fewer tactical options.

Even Clark had faced this issue, let alone Leopard Woman Barbara, whose strength was far inferior to Clark's.

When Robert wasn't using energy waves, Leopard Woman Barbara could compete, even holding the advantage at times. But once Robert employed energy waves, she was thoroughly outmatched, particularly as his combat skills far exceeded hers.

With a thunderous boom, Leopard Woman Barbara was sent flying. The divine power within her surged, protecting her from severe injury from the energy wave, but the tide of battle was now irreversibly in Robert's favor.

"Hmm?" On the other side, the resting Diana touched the bed next to her, instantly awakening when she realized no one was beside her, her expression turning sour.

However, Diana quickly noticed something, her gaze shifting towards where Robert and Leopard Woman Barbara were fighting. She slightly opened her mouth, muttering incredulously, "Wait, they started fighting? No, I need to check this out..."

With a "buzz!", a divine light flashed, and Diana donned a suit of armor, her figure rapidly vanishing from the room.

With a "bang!" on the other side, Robert's flying kick sent Leopard Woman Barbara flying again, feeling thoroughly exhilarated. The battle in Asgard had not been as satisfying; the fight with Heimdall was too brief, and with Frigga's threat looming, Robert had to resolve Heimdall quickly, lacking the time to enjoy the fight.

The subsequent slaughter of Asgardian soldiers and nobles offered even less joy, and even when he transformed and brutally overpowered Frigga, Robert didn't fully enjoy the fight because those memories, though present, were somewhat blurred, nothing like the perfect battle process he was experiencing now, from advantage to disadvantage to equality and back to advantage!

Just after Robert's kick, as he sensed Diana's presence, she appeared between him and Leopard Woman Barbara just as he paused.

"Diana? You woke up? That was quick," Robert said, puzzled by her sudden appearance, then hesitated, "Wait, you didn't sense the fighting and come to take over the opponent, did you? If so, wait until I defeat her, I'll heal her, and then you can fight her. Can you wait till I finish?"

"Diana? Who is he?" Before Diana could respond, Leopard Woman Barbara, gritting her teeth, rose from the ground, her body bearing ragged injuries as her divine power slowly faded, and her consciousness began to clear. She looked at Diana and asked solemnly.

"Hmm?" Hearing Leopard Woman Barbara's question, Robert was taken aback, not understanding why this animal warrior would know Diana.

"He's Robert, my man, and today's fight was probably a misunderstanding..." Diana said somewhat helplessly, looking at a somewhat bewildered Robert, then addressing Leopard Woman Barbara.

"Your man? How is he worthy?" Hearing Diana affirm her relationship with Robert, a flash of anger crossed Leopard Woman Barbara's eyes as she disdainfully challenged Robert.

Even having lost to Robert, Leopard Woman Barbara still felt he was unworthy of Diana. Robert was just a mortal with some combat skills—how could he be with a goddess?

"I'm not worthy, and you are?" Robert retorted irritably at Leopard Woman Barbara's comment. They were a match made in heaven; what right did this monster have to object?

"It's my choice, and he's the best choice I've made. You've seen his strength. If I hadn't come, you might have died by his hands since he clearly saw you as some kind of enemy..." Diana slowly shook her head, looking seriously at Leopard Woman Barbara.

"He couldn't kill me with his power; he's not stronger than me. I just didn't understand his fighting style, that's why I was at a disadvantage!" Leopard Woman Barbara stubbornly responded to Diana's comment.

"Your mouth is certainly tougher than your bones!" Robert's eyes flashed coldly, his aura suddenly bursting forth, his form subtly changing as a green flame hovered around him, and his pupils turned gold. With a mix of wildness and majesty, he looked at Leopard Woman Barbara and said sternly.

"You?!," Leopard Woman Barbara's pupils dilated as she sensed a terrifying pressure from Robert, feeling as if a higher-order being was scrutinizing her. This pressure made it hard for her to even muster the will to fight, her body trembling slightly, her face a mixture of shock and uncertainty as she looked at Robert.

"You're also a deity? No, you're not a deity, but why does your aura feel more terrifying than a deity's? Even the Leopard God

's power is shaken?!"

Leopard Woman Barbara possessed a portion of the Leopard God's power, but even this divine power seemed apprehensive when facing Robert's Great Ape form. This was something Leopard Woman Barbara couldn't accept, as even when facing Diana, the Leopard God's power had never shown fear.

Perhaps animal deities are more sensitive to the aura of their own kind. Although Robert wasn't a deity, the transformation into the Great Ape form clearly made the Leopard God's power acutely aware of the terrifying force and aura of the Great Ape...

"That just means the Leopard God you speak of is somewhat weak!" Robert shook his head, initially planning to transform to teach Leopard Woman Barbara a lesson, but her reaction made him reconsider.

He even surmised that the Leopard God mentioned by Leopard Woman Barbara wasn't very powerful, probably at most a chief deity level, definitely not at the level of a sub-creator god. Otherwise, even his transformation into the Great Ape form wouldn't have so easily intimidated the so-called power of the Leopard God...
