Chapter 526 Arrival
"Wow, Mr. Stark, aren't you just too handsome?"
Louise heard Tony's voice and asked with immense surprise. Tony waved his hand dismissively, but felt quite pleased inside; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Cheer for me, scream for me, I am the Super Hero, Iron Man.
Louise actually wanted to stay and watch the developments, but it was too dangerous here, so the pilot quickly flew the helicopter away.
Louise knew Iron Man was Tony, but the human high-ranking officials and the American Military didn't know. They looked bewildered, wondering where this robot came from.
A soldier said, "It's Mr. Tony Stark. He just tapped his chest, and a set of Armor suddenly appeared."
"So, Tony Stark has developed a single-soldier exoskeleton nano-Armor?"
The human high-ranking officials' eyes lit up, gazing fervently at the Iron Man Suit. This was a good thing, but they wondered if it could withstand the Alien.
"Human, I hope your strength matches your courage."
Fiora somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the ground. Then, she shattered the ground, leaped high into the air, and her fist, accompanied by a violent sonic boom and turbulent airwaves, fiercely slammed towards Tony.
Tony immediately raised his right hand, and nano-particles formed a shield in front of him.
Boom! Tony's nano-shield was directly shattered. Then, he flew backward, crashing through the building behind him, sliding continuously on the ground until he overturned a truck before stopping.
Tony's expression changed drastically. This Kryptonian was too brutal, wasn't she? Her strength was comparable to those monsters from the Earth's core.
The human high-ranking officials were both shocked and disappointed. The Kryptonian's strength was even more terrifying than imagined.
Fiora landed with a thud, then she pushed off with her feet, rushing towards where Tony landed as if flying. The buildings in between were directly destroyed by her, collapsing and exploding with a rumble.
Just as Tony got up, Fiora appeared before him with a fierce wind. However, Fiora wasn't in a hurry to attack. She said, "Earthling, do you know why you will lose? Because evolution always wins."
"Uh, madam, has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?"
Tony retorted. Two sonic devices popped out from his shoulders, releasing layers of sound waves towards Fiora.
Fiora stopped in place in pain. She let out a low growl, removed her Iron Man Suit glove, and threw it forcefully at Tony.
Boom! Tony and the truck behind him both flew away simultaneously.
Fiora regained her freedom and immediately leaped towards Tony. Tony quickly rolled to dodge. Then, a large amount of cold air sprayed from his body, enveloping Fiora as she descended.
Fiora was instantly frozen into ice, but before Tony could rejoice, with a bang, the ice shattered and flew in all directions.
"Is that all?"
Fiora sneered, then suddenly lunged in front of Tony and kicked him forcefully with an airwave. Tony hurriedly raised his defensive shield to block, but with a bang, he was kicked over a thousand meters away.
Overall, Tony was no match for Fiora, but he could barely stall her for a while.
"I finally understand what Andrew was laughing at earlier. He was laughing at my overestimation of myself. fuck, would it kill him to tell me the Kryptonian's strength in detail?"
Tony cursed inwardly, feeling like Andrew had tricked him again. Uh, to be precise, it should be again, and again, and again, and again.
Iron Man's first official appearance: a failure.
At this moment, armed helicopters arrived for support, and several air-to-ground missiles, with long tails, attacked the two Kryptonians.
The two Kryptonians didn't foolishly take the missiles head-on; they flexibly dodged, and the missiles exploded with rumbles on the factory and the ground, raising huge flames and airwaves.
One Kryptonian snorted coldly, ran on the ground, each step creating a large crater, then he leaped up fiercely, crashing into the Apache armed helicopter like a cannonball, causing it to explode with a rumble.
The other Kryptonian continuously threw cars from the ground into the sky. The armed helicopters, unable to dodge, fell emitting black smoke and flames.
Soon, the armed helicopters were completely wiped out, and the arriving fighter jets didn't fare much better, completely unable to harm the Kryptonians.
The human high-ranking officials and the American Military's hearts sank. The strength of these Alien was too terrifying, wasn't it? Their elites were being utterly defeated.
What to do now? Even if they wanted to surrender, the Alien wouldn't accept it.
"Should we try launching a nuclear bomb?"
A general suggested. Clearly, the American Military in this universe also had unsold nuclear bombs.
The President hesitated, then said, "Wait a little longer."
After defeating the army, the Kryptonians prepared to pursue Louise. Just then, accompanied by a violent sonic boom, a figure flew rapidly from a distance.
This figure had a golden rope tied to his wrist. Behind the rope were Andrew and Diana, embracing each other.
Upon reaching their destination, Diana retracted the rope and, holding Andrew, landed with a thud. Superman floated in the air, looking down at everyone.
At this moment, Superman wore a dark blue Kryptonian battle uniform, with a large red cape fluttering behind him. Coupled with his handsome appearance and strong physique, he was simply the embodiment of a human god.
And Diana, wearing a Star Tiara, clad in metal Armor, a short skirt, metal long boots, Guardian Bracelets, with the Vulcan Sword and God-Killer Shield on her back, and the Lasso of Truth wrapped around her waist, truly looked incredibly heroic.
"This is my girlfriend."
Andrew was very pleased. As for his attire, well, it was still a T-shirt and jeans, clearly indicating he was a pure Earthling; after all, he wasn't participating in the battle.
"Kal-El, you finally appeared."
Fiora leaped out from the side, looking at Superman excitedly, and said, "Come back with me to see General Zod."
After Fiora jumped out, Tony also flew out. Because too many nano-particles were consumed, his Armor was tattered, looking miserable as if it had been ravaged by a demoness.
Tony looked at Andrew resentfully. Andrew laughed, saying, "You wanted to show off, this is the price."
At this moment, Tony noticed Diana. Even with his vast experience, he felt somewhat amazed. Immediately, he pouted unhappily. Andrew, this guy, always had beautiful women by his side, and such high-quality ones at that.
Tony secretly complained, "No need to say, she must be another Super Hero. Who doesn't know the Lord of Hell's preferences?"
"Kryptonians, do you really want to destroy Earth?"
Superman asked coldly. In fact, he had heard Fiora's previous words, but he still wanted to confirm it one more time.
Superman's coldness made Fiora somewhat displeased. She said, "Kal-El, don't forget your identity. You are also a Kryptonian. You have an obligation to help Kryptonianrebuild."
"I am indeed a Kryptonian, but I am also an Earthling. I will never allow you to destroy Earth."
Superman roared, diving down with a sonic boom, fiercely crashing into Fiora and sending her flying, breaking through the buildings behind her.
Then, Superman pursued her, preparing to take down Fiora and force General Zod to abandon his plan.
Fiora was furious. She got up and fought fiercely with Superman. The surrounding buildings collapsed with a rumble one after another. It must be said that the Kryptonians' destructive power was truly terrifying.
The two Kryptonians wanted to go help, but Tony and Diana stood in their way.
"You are strong, but don't underestimate Earthlings."
Diana shouted, raised her God-Killer Shield, pushed off with her feet, and slammed into the Kryptonian.
The Kryptonian was pushed back more than ten meters, leaving two deep marks on the ground. He roared and charged at Diana.
Diana dodged flexibly, then she swung the Vulcan Swordto strike the opponent. The Kryptonian raised his right hand to block, but the Vulcan Sword cut an opening.
The Kryptonian was startled. The opponent's weapon was actually so powerful? It could even cut through his current body?
Not only could it cut through, but in the movie, Diana even used the Vulcan Sword to sever Doomsday's arm.
"Let's have a good time."
Diana said excitedly, "It's been a long time since I encountered such a strong opponent. What flows in the blood of the Amazonian women is battle intent."
At this moment, music suddenly started playing nearby. It was Andrew carrying a speaker, playing "Is she with you?", which is Wonder Woman's exclusive BGM.
Andrew laughed, "Princess, this is a battle song specially prepared for you."
"I like this song."
Diana smiled and powerfully struck the Kryptonian.
At the same time, Tony also began fighting the Kryptonian. It was still the same; he could only stall the opponent, fighting with great difficulty.
The injured Colonel Hardy walked up to Andrew and asked, "Who are you? Who is that woman, and who is the one with the red cape?"
"Soldier, show me some respect. I am your senior."
Andrew said in an old-fashioned tone, "That woman, you can call her Wonder Woman. As for the red cape, he's a fellow Kryptonian found by the Kryptonians, Kal-El."
"He's also a Kryptonian?"
Colonel Hardy frowned. Andrew looked at him and said, "If you are smart, you should know how to treat him."
Andrew's words were directed at the human high-ranking officials. The human high-ranking officials understood his meaning: they couldn't push their own people away, at least not now.
Colonel Hardy asked again, "You still haven't told me who you are?"
"Me? I am Wonder Woman's family member."
Andrew said. Colonel Hardy looked bewildered. Family member? Are you serious?
Andrew didn't say much. He looked up at the sky, where there was an invisible Batwing. The scruffy Batman was sitting on it, meticulously recording the Kryptonians' data.
Batman's brows were deeply furrowed. These Kryptonians were too powerful. If there was no way to restrain them, they would pose a great threat to Earth.
At this moment, Tony was thrown down from the sky by the Kryptonian, crashing onto the ground with a thud, raising a lot of dust.
Andrew was speechless. He complained, "Tony, please use your brain, okay? You are a super genius who fights with his brain, Tony Stark."
"Use my brain?"
Tony was startled. Andrew saying this meant there was a way to defeat those Kryptonians.
Tony was a super genius after all, and he quickly noticed something unusual about the Kryptonians—they were so strong defensively, so why did they wear a protective helmet on their heads?
"Not adapting to Earth's air, or something else? In any case, the protective helmet is their weakness."
Tony knew what to do and his confidence immediately surged.
Chapter 527: Their respective methods
Just then, a Kryptonian descended from the sky, smashing heavily towards Tony.
Tony rolled to avoid the Kryptonian's attack, and the Kryptonian landed on the ground with a boom, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Before the Kryptonian could attack again, Tony released a large number of decoy missiles, which shot towards the Kryptonian's face with fiery trails.
The Kryptonian had no time to dodge, and a barrage of decoy missiles exploded on his face, obstructing his vision.
Tony seized the opportunity, raising his right hand, and a laser beam, two fingers thick, whistled out, tearing a large hole in the Kryptonian's force field and striking him on the forehead.
The Kryptonian grunted but was largely unharmed.
He angrily deactivated the damaged force field, preparing to deal with Tony once and for all.
Just then, a flood of sounds and various sensations poured into the Kryptonian's mind.
He couldn't bear so much information and painfully knelt on the ground, clutching his head and screaming.
"It worked, as expected."
Tony was overjoyed and retreated to the side, continuously firing energy attacks, while shouting to the others, "Force field!"
Diana and Superman instantly understood Tony's meaning and immediately focused their attacks on the Kryptonian's force field.
Fiora and the other Kryptonian's expressions changed, and they hurriedly focused their attention on protecting the force field.
At this point, the offense and defense began to reverse.
"Damn it."
Under Superman's offensive, Fiora was forced to retreat repeatedly, which filled her with anger.
Just then, the turtle-shaped spaceship suddenly flew into the air and began firing energy beams at Superman, who hastily dodged.
Fiora was about to seize the opportunity to counterattack when General Zod's voice came through the communicator, "Fiora, retreat."
General Zod had been observing the battle and, seeing the problem, immediately ordered a retreat.
With so few Kryptonians left, they couldn't afford to lose them easily.
Furthermore, the spaceship was being remotely controlled by General Zod from Space.
Although Fiora was unwilling, she had always obeyed General Zod.
She glared hatefully at Superman, then took a huge leap next to Tony Stark, punching him away.
Next, Fiora grabbed the Kryptonian's shoulder and jumped with him towards the spaceship's hatch.
Seeing this, the other Kryptonian also retreated.
"Kal-El, those who betray their own kind will come to no good end, whether on Kryptonian or Earth, neither will accommodate you."
Fiora stood on the spaceship and said coldly to Superman.
Superman's expression was somewhat gloomy, unsure how to respond.
Seeing this, Tony shouted, "Lady, you're really too long-winded.
You won't get a boyfriend like that."
Fiora's face darkened.
She gave Tony a deep look and then controlled the spaceship to leave.
Superman hesitated, wanting to chase them down and completely deal with General Zod and his forces.
Just then, Andrew shouted, "Superman, don't rush.
If you go now, it'll be no different from seeking death.
In Space, there aren't that many complex sounds and sensations."
Additionally, General Zod's spaceship uses a Kryptonian ecological environment, and Superman is not adapted to this environment; he would become weak if he entered.
"Superman? Are you calling me?"
Clark stopped in the air and asked in astonishment.
Andrew smiled and said, "Who else but you?
Dealing with Aliens isn't just your job.
Let's discuss this properly."
Clark thought for a moment, then flew back to the ground.
Colonel Hardy was clearly wary of him, and seeing this, Clark felt a little downcast.
"Superman, what's with the Kryptonians' weakness?
Why don't you have it?"
Tony put away his nanotech Armor and asked Clark in a familiar tone.
Clark replied, "That's not a weakness; it's an inability to adapt.
Our senses are very powerful.
We can not only hear sounds from the Eastern Hemisphere but also perceive a lot of information.
They've only recently become strong and haven't adapted to these changes."
"So, this weakness can be overcome?"
Tony frowned.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
Batman on the plane also frowned, tossing aside the blueprints he had just designed.
"Uh, it's not too difficult.
You just need to focus your perception on one thing.
It only took me a few days to adapt."
Clark said, and everyone sighed.
It seemed this weakness would be of no use.
Tony thought for a moment and asked, "Superman, I'd like to collect some data on you to help deal with those Kryptonians.
Is that okay?"
Colonel Hardy quickly said, "Our military has a base nearby.
We can collect data there."
Clark, in a very good-natured way, said, "No problem, but no blood draws.
The military has all sorts of messy experiments, and I don't want to see my clone one day."
"Slander, that's all slander!"
Colonel Hardy shouted, but everyone snorted coldly.
Who doesn't know what the military is like?
Andrew looked up at the sky and shouted, "Are you not coming down, up there?
Perhaps you can hack into the military's network, but you definitely can't hack into the Stark Industries's network."
Colonel Hardy was very displeased.
What did he mean, 'perhaps you can hack into the military's network'?
Wait, were there other people there?
Clark, Diana, and Tony were not surprised; they had already noticed an invisible fighter jet hovering in the sky.
Batman hesitated, then controlled the fighter jet to become visible.
Then, the jet landed, and Batman, in his black Armor, stepped out, speaking in a low, deep voice:
"The military network is unreliable.
I suggest conducting experiments at the Stark Industries's experimental base."
Colonel Hardy became even more annoyed.
How much contempt did they have for the military network?
"You're Gotham's workaholic Batman?"
Tony scrutinized Batman up and down.
For some reason, he found the other man very displeasing.
He said, "Wow, you're much fatter in person than in the circulating images.
Middle-aged weight gain is a big problem."
Batman found Tony equally displeasing.
He said, "You shouldn't continue developing artificial intelligence.
It's very dangerous."
Batman detested artificial intelligence; all his Armors were self-controlled.
"Don't worry, I have experience in this area.
There will definitely be no more problems."
Tony said.
Indeed, he had a lot of experience in this area; he had even been kidnapped by his unfilial son Ultron, becoming a laughingstock again.
Tony thought of something and secretly resolved, "In this world, I must never be kidnapped again, never become Kidnapping Man again."
Andrew found Tony and Batman's mutual dislike perfectly normal.
It was a case of like repelling like—here, 'like' referred to personality.
"Tony designing an anti-Batman Armor, Batmandesigning an anti-Iron Man Armor.
I wonder who will win?"
Andrew was very curious.
Then, ignoring Colonel Hardy's protests, everyone headed to the Stark Industries's experimental base.
On the way, Batman kept trying to extract information from Andrew, Diana, Tony, and Clark, wanting to understand their specific situations.
Andrew and Diana ignored Batman and continued to show their affection, showering everyone with PDA.
As for Tony, he was an old fox; after a few exchanges with Batman, they teamed up to extract information from Clark.
Clark, well, that honest child even had it extracted that he had never been with a woman.
"This is an honest kid."
Tony and Batman exchanged glances and simultaneously made their judgment.
They breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Superman could be trusted, and in that case, the situation wasn't too bad.
Meanwhile, on the Kryptonian spaceship, General Zodwas hesitating whether to immediately launch an attack and use the World Engine to terraform Earth.
In the movie, General Zod launched an attack without waiting for everyone to adapt to their powerful bodies.
As a result, many of their combat capabilities couldn't be fully utilized and were successively defeated by Superman.
"Let's wait for now.
We haven't gotten the book of rao and the Genesis Chamber yet.
Terraforming Earth would be useless."
General Zod made his decision.
The book of rao contains the genetic code of all Kryptonians, and the Genesis Chamber is a Kryptonian incubation device.
Combined, they could create a large number of Kryptonians.
General Zod asked the Scientist next to him, "Have you found the whereabouts of that spaceship?"
As mentioned before, there was a Kryptonian spaceship on Earth from eighteen thousand years ago.
It was sent to Earth by Kryptonian a long time ago and contained the Genesis Chamber.
Furthermore, the reason General Zod came to Earth was that after Clark activated that spaceship, it automatically sent out a distress signal, which was received by Zod's spaceship.
The Scientist nodded: "Found it.
It's at the North Pole of Earth.
Should we bring it back immediately?"
"Not yet.
Control the spaceship to approach the sun.
During this time, everyone should try their best to absorb the sun's energy and adapt to their new bodies.
What happened this time must never happen again."
General Zod thought for a moment and said, "Once we complete our metamorphosis, we'll go have a good chat with our nephew."
The Kryptonians all nodded: "Understood."
...
Several hours later, Stark Industries experimental base.
"General Zod didn't attack immediately but instead flew towards the sun?"
Andrew looked up at the sky, his gaze fixed on General Zod, and noticed traces of his destiny being influenced.
"It seems the cosmic consciousness has chosen a completely different method than mine."
Andrew's method was to directly descend to Earth, command the Super Heroes to resist the disaster, and provide some assistance, such as technology, knowledge, and information.
The path of the cosmic consciousness, however, was to influence destiny, allowing the disaster to develop in a successful direction.
For example, this time, It influenced General Zod's choice, preventing him from starting the war immediately.
Because there was an agreement between them not to peek into the future, the influence of the cosmic consciousness was based on Its own judgment.
"Interesting.
Let's see whose method will have the last laugh."
Andrew smiled.
With so much black technology, plus his familiarity with the plot, there was no reason for him to lose.
This universe would sooner or later belong to him, and then he would rise to prominence in one fell swoop.
"What are you smiling about?"
Diana, who had changed into ordinary clothes, asked.
Andrew smiled and said, "Just thinking that I can be with you again, I can't help but smile."
"You're so good with words, you can say more."
Diana giggled.
She loved talking to Andrew; it had been her greatest dream for decades.
"I can't do that.
Talking too much will make my mouth dry, unless you help me replenish some moisture."
Andrew said.
Diana wrapped her arms around his neck, just about to speak, when Tony, Batman, Colonel Hardy, and Clarkwalked in with solemn expressions.
Andrew asked, "Are the tests finished?"
"No, Earth is finished."
Tony rolled his eyes and said, "This big guy doesn't even need to do anything specific.
He just needs to fly at top speed close to the ground for a few hours, and he can wipe out humanity."
Batman added, "And incidentally wipe out other life forms too."
Clark gave an embarrassed smile.
He said, "I usually fly at high altitudes, and I don't use full speed."
"What's worse, we can't find his weakness.
He can go without breathing for a long time, bathe in lava, and is immune to all kinds of poisons."
Tony said, "How do I put it? He's like a god among men."
"I never wanted to be a god; I just want to be a person."
Clark shook his head.
He wasn't being pretentious; his heart had always been lost, and he had even wandered for several years before.
Colonel Hardy sighed and said, "The problem is, there are many gods now, preparing to terraform our planet.
One Superman is already despair-inducing; now it's a group of Super Heroes."
Andrew smiled and said, "Don't lose heart so quickly, Superman.
You mentioned earlier that your father has a memory module?"
This was what Tony and Batman had previously extracted from him.
Clark nodded, took out a key with an'S' symbol, and said, "Yes, if I put this key into the Kryptonian spaceship, it can activate my father's memory module."
Andrew said, "Your father is Kryptonian's Chief Scientist.
He might have a way to deal with General Zod."
Clark's eyes lit up.
He said, "I'll go find him right away."
With that, without waiting for anyone to speak, Clarkflew directly into the sky and quickly disappeared, leaving only a gust of wind in his wake.
Everyone coughed a few times, looking displeased.
Was this guy too impatient?
Andrew said, "He's so urgent because his heart is filled with guilt.
He believes that the Kryptonians' trouble was brought by him."
"His character is indeed good, at least better than this black bat next to us."
Tony nodded.
Batman snorted coldly.
He said, "I don't deny that he's a good person, but no matter how good his character is, it can change.
We must be wary of him."
"On that point, I agree with you."
Tony said.
He and Batman exchanged glances and both snorted.
What to do when they felt they disliked each other even more?
Just then, General Calvin walked into the experimental base with his Secretary.
He first spoke with Colonel Hardy for a while, then walked up to Andrew and asked, "Are you Mr. Andrew Wang?"
Andrew shrugged: "That's right.
Is there a problem?"
General Calvin took a seemingly old document from his Secretary's hand, carefully opened it, and said:
"Andrew Wang, Captain of the America Air Force, sacrificed himself on the battlefield to stop Doctor Poison's gas plan, a combat hero recorded in history.
Not only do you share the same name as this combat hero, but your appearance is also identical.
May I ask what your relationship is with him?"
Everyone was astonished at the words.
Tony looked at Andrew speechlessly.
Not only did he have a girlfriend, but he even gave himself the background of a combat hero?
Where was his shame?
Also, by doing this, wasn't he afraid Steve would come asking for royalties?
Diana shook her head.
Back then, after she defeated the God of War, she erased her own existence.
Therefore, the outside world had always believed that Doctor Poison's plan was stopped by Andrew.
Andrew casually waved his hand: "You don't need to look at me with such reverence.
Saving the world, that's a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Chapter 528 Discussion
"Saving the world is a small matter?"
Everyone secretly complained, and Colonel Calvin said, "So, you really are Andrew Wang? Why are you still alive and so young?"
"Because this world needs me, God specially sent me back to Earth to save the world."
Andrew said with a sacred expression, and everyone except Tony was speechless. Do you think we are fools?
Tony looked up at the sky. He was indeed not sent back by God; he was God himself.
"How many times have I heard God's name today?"
Colonel Calvin complained, then asked, "Mr. Wang, are you interested in returning to the military? We can restore your rank, or even promote you to Colonel."
Andrew didn't waste words and directly refused: "No."
Colonel Calvin was stunned: "Why?"
"Because I have a billion dollars in my bank account."
Andrew said righteously, and everyone was speechless again. This reason is very good and powerful.
With a net worth of one billion dollars, if you still go to join the America military, there is only one possibility: your head has been kicked by a donkey.
The Secretary looked at Andrew with shining eyes. Brother, no, old man, I don't want to work hard anymore.
"So much money?"
Diana was also a little surprised. Who was freeloading off whom?
"It seems God is very generous. In that case, forget it."
Colonel Calvin returned the document to the Secretary, then asked Tony, "Mr. Stark, your new toy is very interesting. Is it for sale?"
"I'm an arms dealer, of course I sell them. However, I only sell the most basic models, not the nano-suits. Also, let me state in advance that the price of each suit is above two hundred million dollars."
Tony said, and Batman looked at Tony in surprise. Based on his analysis of Tony's character, he shouldn't be selling the suits.
Batman is actually very accurate in judging people, but Tony is no longer interested in ordinary suits, so he doesn't mind using them to support the military.
Having experienced so many disasters in the Marvel Universe, Tony has changed more or less.
"Two hundred million dollars?"
Colonel Calvin said, "Mr. Stark, your toy is not worth that much. It can't withstand Kryptonians' attacks."
"But it can destroy five F-22 Raptor fighter jets, and a Raptor fighter jet is worth at least 150 million dollars."
Tony said, and then the two officially entered the bargaining phase.
Andrew, Diana, and Batman were not interested in this. Batman was studying Superman's data nearby, thinking about how to deal with Kryptonians.
And Andrew and Diana continued to show their affection, showering everyone with public displays of affection.
Diana asked, "Didn't you say God of Creation before? How did you get demoted to God's messenger now? Your demotion speed is a bit fast, isn't it?"
Andrew said, "Because I only tell you the truth."
Diana smiled, "Wow, I was almost touched."
Andrew also laughed, "I think I can make up for that."
Not long after, Clark flew back to the experimental base carrying a silver-white small spaceship. This was not the one from eighteen thousand years ago, but the small spaceship that brought him to Earth.
Clark carefully put down the small spaceship and said excitedly, "I found a way to deal with General Zod."
Everyone was delighted to hear this and eagerly asked, "What way?"
Clark said, "General Zod's spaceship uses a Phantom Drive as its energy source, and this small spaceship does too. As long as the two spaceships collide, a wormhole will form, swallowing both the spaceships and everyone nearby."
Tony asked, "Are you saying, ramming the Kryptonianspaceship with the small spaceship?"
Clark was a little embarrassed: "Uh, this small spaceship crashed when it landed on Earth and can't be started."
Colonel Hardy said, "In that case, we can only use a large aircraft to carry the small spaceship and ram the Kryptonian spaceship."
Everyone frowned upon hearing this. Tony said, "That's not realistic. Our planes can't go to Space.
Huh, wait, Louise seemed to have said that the officialdiscovered a Kryptonian spaceship from eighteen thousand years ago?"
"That spaceship's energy source has some problems and cannot go to Space."
Clark shook his head again. That Kryptonian spaceship was a crashed spaceship, so it was normal for it to have problems. However, it could fly within Earth's atmosphere.
"Also has problems?"
Everyone was speechless. Tony said, "You can't expect you and I to carry the small spaceship to find General Zod, can you?
If we do that, General Zod, no matter how foolish, will know there's something wrong with the small spaceship and will definitely prevent us from getting close to his spaceship."
Clark blinked. He seemed to have thought too simply. The problem was, his father Jor-El only mentioned this method, not the specific tactics.
Tony thought of something and turned to Andrew. If they used Pym Particles, they might be able to sneak attack the Kryptonians.
For example, taking a miniaturized spaceship to the Kryptonian spaceship for negotiations, and so on.
"No hurry, good things should be released one by one, and besides, I have other plans for this matter."
Andrew shook his head. The mysterious Space connected by Pym Particles is outside the Multiverse; it can be used even in the DC Universe.
"If we can't go to Space, we can only wait for them to enter Earth, and then find a way to ram them."
Batman thought for a moment and said, "But it's still the same old problem: it's easy to be intercepted."
Colonel Hardy said, "We can send a large number of fighter jets to attack together."
Clark said in surprise, "Many soldiers will die that way."
"If it's to protect Earth, we are willing to sacrifice."
Colonel Hardy said firmly. He was a pure soldier, without so many complicated thoughts.
Tony thought of something and said, "Wait, Kryptonians have X-ray vision, Clark demonstrated it before."
Clark said, "We can add a lead layer to the fighter jets; X-ray vision cannot penetrate lead."
Tony said, "In that case, there's a little hope, but there are still many problems. To be honest, I'm not very confident."
At this moment, Colonel Calvin coughed and asked, "The official plans to use rockets loaded with nuclear bombs to attack the Kryptonian spaceship. Do you think it's feasible?"
"Not feasible. The Kryptonian spaceship has the ability to destroy nuclear bombs."
Clark shook his head. He said, "General Zod invaded Earth's network, so he must know that we have nuclear bombs on Earth."
Colonel Calvin actually didn't want to use nuclear bombs either. He nodded and said, "I will explain this to the big shots in the official."
Batman said, "There are too many Kryptonians. Even with the small spaceship, our chances of winning are very low."
"Since that's the case, why not recruit more people?"
Andrew smiled, "Go on TV, gather powerful ability users and Super Heroes, and ask them to help. Guarding Earth is not just a matter for a few of us."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. This was a possibility.
Tony glanced at Andrew. It was clear that this 'Mr. God' wanted to quickly form an organization similar to the Avengers to counter disasters and protect Earth.
Andrew indeed thought this way. They needed to discover talents as much as possible, after all, disasters wouldn't be just once or twice.
"I suggest the Stark Industries lead this matter."
Batman thought for a moment and said, "Many Super Heroes and ability users are wary of the official. The Stark Industries leading it can eliminate their concerns and give them more freedom.
For example, the Stark Industries will not inquire about their true identities."
"I agree with that."
Tony said, "Many ability users don't like dealing with the official."
"I'll go back and discuss it with Mr. President."
Colonel Calvin thought for a moment and said, then he left with the Secretary. Colonel Hardy continued to stay here.
Andrew looked at Colonel Calvin's back, his eyes flickering. He knew very well that Colonel Calvin was actually Martian Manhunter in disguise.
Martian Manhunter, in the comics, is an elder of the Justice League and should be considered one of their own, so Andrew didn't plan to expose him.
Having one of their own within the official would make things much more convenient.
After Colonel Calvin left, everyone continued to discuss tactics. Andrew thought for a moment, then waved to Diana, "Diana, come with me to the training room. I'll give you some special training."
"Training room?"
Diana was a little surprised. She walked over and asked with a hint of amusement, "Andrew, you're not going to tell me you want to train me, are you? It's always been me training you, hasn't it?"
"Remember one thing: never underestimate your man."
Andrew smiled and led Diana into the training room.
Then, Andrew said to Diana, "You are a demigod and my woman, so you cannot ask other gods for energy.
There is only one way for you to improve your strength: learn magic."
One thing needs to be specially explained: Diana has Andrew's Demon Lord Power in her body, but it is sealed by Andrew and cannot be used because the bet does not allow it.
"Learn magic?"
Diana laughed, "Andrew, first God of Creation, then God's messenger, and now a magician. What's next?"
"I've tested your physique. You're most suitable for learning illusion magic."
Andrew said, "This magic is very easy to pick up. With me teaching you, you'll get started very quickly. However, mastering it is quite difficult and requires a long time of study."
Diana has divine power in her body. As long as she learns magic, she can use it directly without needing to accumulate extra magic power.
Diana still didn't believe it: "When did you test it? Why don't I know?"
"Is there anything about you that I don't know?"
Andrew smiled. Diana didn't blush at all, and even had some special thoughts.
"Be serious."
Andrew waved his hand and said, "Come, follow me and draw the runes."
Although Diana still didn't believe him, she didn't mind playing along with Andrew, following him and drawing runes on paper with her finger.
As a result, as soon as she drew a stroke, the paper caught fire. Diana was stunned. How could it catch fire? This was not scientific!
Andrew said, "This is the energy generated when a rune is destroyed. Drawing runes requires concentration. Magic is never a casual thing."
"Ah?"
Diana's eyes widened, her face blank. What the fuck, Andrew really knows magic?
Andrew said, "Although you look very cute right now, my Miss Prince, we are in class right now. Please don't Spaceout casually, thank you."
Chapter 529 New Super Hero
Diana snapped back to reality and incredulously asked Andrew, "You actually know magic? Uh, so you were lying to me all this time?"
Andrew shook his head, "Don't overthink it. Before, I was indeed just a mortal. The me now is different from the me before."
Diana breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Since you know magic, why didn't you fight with us before?"
"Two reasons. You decide which is true."
Andrew said, "The first reason is what I told you about the God of Creation. Due to the bet, I couldn't act.
The second reason is that I have a problem with my body. I can only teach magic to others; I cannot use it myself."
Diana heard this and anxiously asked, "What problem do you have with your body? Is it dangerous?"
"Uh, I'm happy you care about me so much, but didn't you choose a bit too quickly?"
Andrew grumbled, then said, "In short, I can't act, but I can teach you magic, Diana. Your man is quite amazing, and you'll gradually see that from now on."
"It's good that you're fine."
Diana breathed a sigh of relief. She thought of something, looked at Andrew, and asked, "You won't leave me again, will you?"
"I told you, I will never leave you. In this world, no one can make me leave you."
Andrew smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. Focus on learning magic. Previously, you wrapped Superman with the Lasso of Truth, and Superman was completely unable to resist its power.
This shows that Kryptonians have very low magic resistance, and magic is perfect for dealing with them."
"Magic?"
Diana thought for a moment and said, "Many people in Atlantis know magic. Perhaps we can ask them for help.
Uh, the Undersea People are from Atlantis and comprise several races, but their relationship with us Amazons isn't very good."
"Once the news goes out tomorrow, if the Undersea People are willing to help, they will come to us. If not, it's useless for us to go."
Andrew shook his head. Atlantis must be paying attention to Earth's affairs. With such big news, it's impossible for them not to know.
"That's true."
Diana nodded and began to concentrate on learning magic with Andrew. She was extremely talented and, in a short while, mastered the runes and conjured her own illusion.
However, this illusion was clumsy and expressionless, making even Diana herself laugh, "So silly."
"It's like this at first. You have the Vulcan Sword, which can wound Kryptonians, so illusion magic is very useful for you."
Andrew said, "However, this time the opponents are Kryptonians. Only perfect illusion magic can deceive them, and you still have a lot to learn.
For example, wrapping yourself and the illusion with divine power. Only then can you hide from the Kryptonians' X-ray vision.
Additionally, you need to create realistic illusions that can produce sound and cause air currents.
Also, you need to learn invisibility, sound nullification, and so on.
Finally, you need to use illusions to hypnotize Kryptonians, making them overlook the flaws in the illusion. Kryptonians' senses are too keen; without causing them internal problems, it's hard to deceive them.
Fortunately, their magic resistance is low, so mild hypnosis isn't difficult. Uh, deep hypnosis isn't too difficult either."
True illusion magic is not that simple. When cultivated to the extreme, it can deceive everyone—Loki's illusion magic can even deceive God King Odin.
"There's really a lot to learn. I hope there's enough time."
Diana nodded. She was quite interested in illusion magic. Uh, to be precise, she was interested in any method that could enhance her strength, as she was a warlike Amazonian she-wolf.
"Speaking of which, illusion magic can be used not only in combat but also in everyday life."
Andrew thought of something and chuckled, "For example, you and your illusion dancing in front of me…"
Diana rolled her eyes. She deeply suspected that Andrewwas teaching her illusion magic just for this. Men, hmph.
But then again, it seemed quite good.
…
The next day, at a stormy harbor, a tall man covered in tattoos, with long blonde hair and a beard, looking extremely wild and drenched in seawater, carried an unconscious person into a bar.
Then, the tall man placed the unconscious person on the table and shouted to the bartender, "A whiskey."
"He's paying, right?"
The bartender smiled. The man was a regular, often rescuing people at sea, though he didn't know how he did it.
"I like you. You'll definitely be a boss someday."
The future Arthur Curry (Aquaman) laughed heartily. Then, he sat at the bar and began to drink. At this moment, the news on the television caught his attention.
Louise Lane was seen on screen, saying, "Yesterday, after my report, Kryptonians attacked me in a spaceship. After much effort, the military and Superheroes successfully repelled three Kryptonians.
I said repelled. The military lost over a hundred elites, several fighter jets, and more than a dozen armed helicopters.
And this is just the beginning. The Kryptonians' attack is coming again. Once they succeed, all humanity will perish.
All metahumans and Superheroes worldwide, the world needs you. Please go to the Stark Industries branch in Metropolis to fight the Kryptonians with the military and Superheroes.
Tony Stark, Chairman of the Stark Industries, and Batmanof Gotham City, will be in charge of this matter…"
The patrons in the bar were very astonished. One customer sneered, "It must be a lie. Americans love to lie. I don't believe the end of the world is coming soon."
Others also said, "We don't believe it either. They might be looking for an excuse to gather metahumans and capture them for research."
It's no wonder these people didn't believe it. America's credibility was very poor, and this matter was too sudden and unbelievable.
Furthermore, if there was truly such a big crisis, why was it a news reporter announcing it?
Logically, shouldn't a White House spokesperson or a military spokesperson appear?
The reason for this was that the official internal opinions on inviting Superheroes were not unified, so they let Louise report the matter. After all, she was the one who initially released the Kryptonian intelligence.
To increase credibility, the military gave Louise some combat videos, which Louise broadcast on television.
Watching the fighter jets continuously exploding under the Kryptonians' attack on the screen, the patrons were stunned. These Kryptonians were too powerful!
Arthur initially didn't believe what Louise said, but upon seeing these combat videos, he was so shocked that he forgot to drink his whiskey.
"It's actually true?"
Arthur frowned, then hesitated. Should he go help?
Although Arthur was a bit reclusive, his sense of justice was very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't be rescuing people at sea every day.
More importantly, if the Kryptonians really succeeded, he and his father would be doomed.
Arthur was half-human, half-Undersea People, possessing an extremely powerful physique. Additionally, he could talk to fish.
Arthur was a bit indecisive. He asked the bartender, "If you were a metahuman, would you go?"
The bartender said, "Of course. At the very least, I'd go check it out. It's better than dying without knowing why."
"That's true."
Arthur was already inclined to go. Hearing this, he nodded, downed the whiskey in his glass, then stood up and walked out of the bar. In the stormy weather, he dove into the ocean with a powerful plunge, showing off his tough-guy demeanor.
…
"Saving the world? Wow, that's cool."
In Central City, Barry Allen, a university student at Central City University, looked at the news on the screen and immediately decided to go to Metropolis.
The reason was simple: God gave him abilities to help people.
Barry Allen, the future Flash, gained super speed—Quicksilver—due to a laboratory explosion. The speed of Eternal Makkari was nothing compared to his.
Then, Barry stood up and walked to his battle suit. It was a dark red suit with a yellow lightning bolt symbol on the chest.
This suit was made of silicone quartz sand material and could withstand the heat and friction generated by Barry's running, preventing him from being left with nothing after a run.
"Departing. Destination: Metropolis."
Barry put on his battle suit and, in a Flash of electricity, disappeared.
…
Metropolis.
A man almost entirely made of silver metal, with only a small portion of flesh and blood, and a red light glowing on his chest, looked at the news on the screen and shook his head with a hint of indifference.
This man was Victor Stone. He was originally a football star, but due to an accident, he was on the verge of Death. His father, Silas Stone, couldn't accept his loss and used a mother box and various technologies to transform him into his current state.
Victor Stone, or Cyborg, was very displeased with his father because of this. He would rather die than become this half-human, half-ghost appearance.
Could he still go to heaven like this?
Elderly Silas asked Victor, "Victor, is what the news says true?"
Cyborg could freely access the internet, and apart from a few places, nothing could stop him. He nodded and said, "It's true."
Silas hesitated, then said, "Have you thought about going to help? Perhaps you could be a Super Hero."
"Have you ever seen a Super Hero like me?"
Cyborg stood up, took off his jacket, and sneered, "Are you sure I won't be immediately captured by the military for research if I go?"
"I'm not sure."
Silas shook his head and said, "But I hope you can become a beloved Super Hero, instead of hiding in the house every day.
I think if you save the world, they will accept you."
Victor sneered, "That way, you'll feel less guilty, right?"
Silas fell silent, looking at Victor with pain and guilt.
Victor averted his gaze and said, "I'll go, but not for you, for this world."
Silas suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with joy. His son was finally going to step out.
…
Stark Industries Metropolis branch, at the experimental site.
Superman Clark suddenly appeared in front of Diana, throwing a punch that brought with it a sonic boom and a wave of air, aiming for Diana.
Chapter 530 The Attack Begins
Diana timely raised her Shield of Power to block Clark's punch, and with a boom, she slid backward over ten meters, leaving two deep marks on the ground.
Diana cursed, then charged forward fiercely, her Vulcan Sword cleaving through the air, striking hard at Clark. Clark dodged, and his fist once again heavily struck Diana's shield, instantly raising a strong wind around them.
"Wow."
The surrounding newcomers were astonished; the Kryptonian's strength was even more terrifying than what they had seen in videos.
Many people couldn't even clearly see Clark and Diana's fight, only feeling two figures flashing back and forth rapidly, while sand and stones flew around, and shockwaves continuously appeared.
These newcomers, besides Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg, also included other meta-humans and Super Heroes, such as Green Arrow from Star City, and Deathstroke, who had lost an eye—Deathstroke was hired.
"This call for action was effective; the Justice Leaguemembers are all here, but there are no extra surprises, so it's fairly standard."
Andrew secretly shook his head. The spar between Clarkand Diana was his suggestion. On one hand, it was to give the newcomers a clear understanding of the Kryptonian's strength.
On the other hand, Diana had been learning illusory magic for several days and needed to test it in real combat.
Diana's talent was good, but of course, Andrew's teaching ability was even better.
"Flash, your speed is faster than Clark's, but your combat skills are very poor. You must learn to fight at high speed, not just push people at high speed. In fact, you can't even push people properly."
Batman said to Barry, the Flash, beside him. He liked this kid Barry; he was pure enough.
Barry gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I just got my powers not long ago, and I can't control them. I'm afraid of hurting people."
"More training can solve this problem."
Batman said, silently designing Flash's hell training plans one, two, three, four…
Barry suddenly shivered. Why did he feel like someone was trying to harm him?
On the other side, Tony and Cyborg were collecting combat data from Clark and Diana.
Before coming to Stark Industries, Cyborg was very anxious, afraid that others would treat him as a monster, but the actual situation was better than he imagined.
Most Super Heroes are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Cyborg's appearance, though a bit scary, wasn't anything particularly strange. There was even a shark there that could only speak human language.
In addition, Tony liked him very much. Not only did he warmly entertain him, but he also helped him master his own abilities.
Because Tony was too enthusiastic, Cyborg even suspected at first whether Tony had feelings for him.
Cyborg said, "If all Kryptonians are at Superman's level, I am very pessimistic about future battles."
"Those Kryptonians are a bit weaker than Superman in physique, after all, Superman has been exposed to the sun for thirty more years, but in terms of combat skills, they are much stronger than Superman."
Tony said, "Superman never dared to fight people since he was a child, fearing he would kill them, while those Kryptonians are professional soldiers. They are destined to be soldiers from birth and are constantly trained."
"I've seen the Kryptonian files."
Cyborg nodded and said, "The situation is not good. In front of Kryptonians, many meta-humans are like cannon fodder."
"Don't worry, I've designed an Anti-Kryptonian Armorthat will definitely come in handy."
Tony said confidently, "Besides, we have Andrew Wangon our side, we won't lose."
"That Wonder Woman's family member?"
Cyborg was stunned. To be honest, most men present envied, were jealous of, and hated Andrew, but no one went to bother Andrew. In fact, they didn't even have that thought in their minds.
As soon as that thought emerged, it was erased by their survival instinct.
"He's not just an ordinary family member; he's a family member who eats soft rice but acts tough."
Tony grumbled. A red light flashed in Cyborg's eyes, indicating he completely didn't understand.
Louise was also at the base. She didn't take photos because many Super Heroes didn't want to be photographed. She looked at Clark, her eyes clearly shining.
"Good women always belong to others."
Arthur looked annoyed and continued drinking. He liked this base because it offered unlimited beer and food. He had to admit, Tony Stark was truly a…damn rich guy.
At this moment, the battlefield changed. Diana stopped and said, "Superman, warm-up's over. I'm getting serious now."
Clark raised his hand and smiled, "Ladies first."
Diana saw Clark's nonchalance, snorted, and fiercely charged in front of Clark. Then, she swung her long sword, and more than ten sword shadows, accompanied by a violent whooshing sound, enveloped Clark.
Clark was stunned, trying to distinguish true from false through his powerful sensory abilities, but every sword shadow seemed real. Not only did they make sounds, but the air in front of the sword shadows was also torn apart.
There was too little time for Clark to analyze further, so he could only retreat.
Seeing this, Diana split into five, attacking Clark from different directions.
Clark immediately switched to X-ray vision but couldn't distinguish true from false because he couldn't see through any of the Dianas.
As for his sense of smell, hearing, etc., he found no flaws. Clark thought for a moment, pushed off with his feet, shattering the ground, and flew into the sky. The five Dianas were swept away by the air current and disappeared directly.
"All fake?"
Clark was very surprised. Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind him. He quickly turned around and used his arm to block the direction of the sound.
Bang! There was no attack from the direction of the sound, but Clark's waist was heavily kicked by Diana's long leg, sending him flying over a hundred meters before he stopped.
"Sound doesn't mean an attack, Superman."
Diana smiled. When she used the illusion earlier, she quietly turned invisible and used the flying boots Andrewgave her to fly into the sky, waiting for Clark to fall into her trap.
Diana's combat experience was much richer than Superman's.
Clark asked, somewhat astonished, "Did you just use technology or magic?"
"This is magic, Superman. When you encounter magical enemies in the future, be very careful. You have no resistance to magic."
Diana said seriously. Even she, a beginner, could slightly affect Clark and reduce his sensory abilities, which showed how low Superman's magic resistance was.
"There's really magic in this world?"
Clark was very surprised, as were the others around him. Batman's eyes flashed, and he quietly noted this down in his mind: Magic, it can deal with Superman.
"Again."
Diana, excited by the fight, shouted loudly. Clark nodded and said, "This time, I won't be deceived by you again."
Just then, General Calvin's holographic projection appeared and said, "The Kryptonian spaceship split into two in Space, flying towards opposite sides of Earth.
One of them should be heading towards Metropolis, and the other seems to be the so-called World Engine."
"What? The Kryptonian spaceship moved?"
Everyone was startled. Tony quickly said, "Everyone, head to the temporary airport and act according to the previous arrangements."
The Stark branch is equipped with a sonic device that prevents sound from escaping. The military also bought several of these devices at a high price. There was no other way; Kryptonians' hearing was too terrifying.
By the way, the military kept calling Tony a damn profiteer.
"Okay."
Although Super Heroes and meta-humans are mostly unruly, this time, everyone had no wasted words and rushed towards the nearby temporary airport.
At the same time, at the Metropolis Military Base, a large number of pilots ran to their fighter jets at top speed, followed closely by some military meta-humans.
Colonel Hardy, equipped with the primitive Mark ArmorTony sold to the military, flew quickly towards the plane—Clark's small spaceship was on his plane.
Undoubtedly, Colonel Hardy's team had the most dangerous mission, almost a sure death, but they didn't hesitate at all.
The American high command was rotten, but Americawasn't without soldiers willing to sacrifice.
As soon as everyone arrived at the temporary airport, General Calvin's voice sounded again from the loudspeaker: "According to satellite monitoring, five Kryptonians have detached from the spaceship and are flying rapidly towards Metropolis, expected to arrive in one minute.
Additionally, another Kryptonian is flying towards the North Pole."
"That fast?"
Everyone was startled. Tony thought for a moment, told everyone to stop, and then shouted, "We will engage the Kryptonians here. As for the Kryptonian spaceship, leave it to the military."
Besides conventional forces, the military also had many miscellaneous experimenters and meta-humans, not weak at all.
"Okay."
No one objected. Batman climbed into the incredibly fast Bat-Armor, specially modified by Andrew, and shouted, "Wonder Woman, Arthur, we'll stick to the original plan to deal with the World Engine.
As for the other Kryptonian, his goal should be the Kryptonian spaceship at the North Pole, so we can ignore him for now.
Flash, do as I taught you earlier."
"Coming."
Aquaman said nothing, carrying a silver Trident, and ran towards the Bat-Armor.
"Okay, Mr. Batman."
Flash said nervously, holding a short stick, clearly a novice.
"This…"
Diana, however, hesitated. She wasn't afraid of war, but the Kryptonians were about to arrive. If she left, who would protect Andrew?
She didn't want to be a widow again.
Andrew smiled and said, "Diana, go. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"Alright, I'll dance for you when I get back."
Diana wasn't a timid woman either. She kissed Andrewon the cheek, jumped onto the Bat-Armor, and then the Bat-Armor started up and flew towards the World Engine.
Batman planned to destroy the World Engine first, then deal with the Kryptonian spaceship.
The mercenary Deathstroke frowned and said, "So, we're going to face five Supermen?"
The reason Deathstroke came here wasn't to save the world, but because Tony paid him to come. Sometimes, money really can do anything.
Tony asked, "You want to quit?"
"No, I mean, you need to pay more."
Deathstroke put on his two-colored mask and said. Tonysmiled, "I thought it was something else. Double. Everyone, if we win this battle, everyone gets a bonus.
Of course, I know you're not here for the money; this is just my token of appreciation."
"We won't be polite."
The meta-humans all laughed. In America, taking money didn't equal insult. They wished Tony would give more, since he had money anyway.
At this moment, Clark sensed something and looked up at the sky.
Then, accompanied by a huge whooshing sound, five figures flew towards them at an astonishing speed, leaving trails of air rings behind them.
"Everyone, prepare for battle."
Tony quickly shouted, and everyone immediately got ready for combat.
The next second, five figures descended from the sky, landing with a crash, raising a large amount of dust, and at the same time, a huge air current swept towards everyone.
Clark immediately stood in front of everyone, rapidly waving his right hand to dissipate the air current.
Then, as the dust cleared, five figures wearing Kryptonian Armor appeared before everyone. When Tony saw them, he couldn't help but sigh; that previous weakness was indeed no longer useful.
All five of these Kryptonians were not wearing protective shields.
Including General Zod, there were a total of eleven Kryptonians invading this time: three in the Kryptonian spaceship, two guarding the World Engine, one going to find the eighteen-thousand-year-old spaceship, and the remaining five were here.
Andrew walked beside Louise Lane and said, "You can photograph now, but it must be broadcast only with my permission afterward. Also, stand beside me; other places are not safe."
"Is it very safe by you, family CEO?"
Louise smiled and took out a Stark Industries phone to film.
In this universe, Andrew wasn't planning to use TikTok for live streaming again, because he was worried his plan would attract the attention of the cosmic consciousness.
What plan?
The plan to secretly collect fear. This was one of Andrew's trump cards, as for whether it would come in handy, that remained to be seen.
"Kal-El."
General Zod looked at Clark and said, "Are you really going to oppose your own people? You are also a Kryptonian. Reviving Kryptonian is your inherent responsibility."
"I will never allow you to destroy Earth."
Clark said firmly, "If you are willing to leave Earth, I will do my best to help you find a new planet.
However, Kryptonian's original method of procreation was wrong and cannot continue to be wrong, otherwise, it will just be another Kryptonian."
"What you say is exactly what Jor-El said."
General Zod snorted. He said, "You haven't been to Kryptonian. You don't know how great Kryptonian once was. Genetic embryos allowed us to create unprecedented glory.
Our path is not wrong; it just needs a little adjustment."
Andrew looked at General Zod's hair and whispered to Louise, "You know, why can't a race that has had high technology for tens of thousands of years even solve the problem of hair loss?
General Zod has thin hair, and Superman has a super high hairline. Both of their futures are very concerning."
"…"
Louise looked at Andrew blankly. At such a serious moment, you're actually considering this problem? How does your brain work?
Hmm, wait, Clark's hairline is high? That's a big problem. I wonder what shampoo would suit him?
"Super high hairline?"
Clark almost ran to look in a mirror. General Zod also twitched his mouth. He glanced at Andrew, pretended not to hear, and continued speaking to Clark:
"Kal-El, hand over the book of rao. I can decide to let you take a portion of Earthlings and leave Earth."
"book of rao? I don't know what that is."
Clark shook his head and said, "General Zod, I will never let you destroy Earth."
"In that case, don't blame me for being impolite."
General Zod stopped talking nonsense and charged fiercely at Clark. Clark immediately put his hands forward to block General Zod.
Boom! A circular air current erupted from where the two collided, and the ground immediately sank down a layer.
