General Zod looked at Superman and said bluntly:
"I suspect the Codex of Life is inside you. Let me examine it."
"If you don't have it, I'll turn around and leave, and I'll never bother you again!"
"But if you're unwilling to cooperate, then I'll have to look in nearby cities."
"Let's see where there are the most people, so I can test my strength!"
"You!!"
Faced with this straightforward threat, Superman was furious.
However, he managed to suppress these emotions for the time being.
After about ten seconds, Superman finally said, "Remember what you said."
This is the weakness of superheroes; villains exploit their reluctance to indiscriminately kill innocent people.
Then they can control them at will.
That's the case between the Joker and Batman.
So, Superman slowly flew over and came to General Zod.
General Zod, meanwhile, was pointing a detector at Superman's head.
He then moved the detector from top to bottom, scanning Superman's entire body.
"Confirmed! Target's Codex of Life Factor content is 100%!"
The detector transmitted an audio report.
This announcement changed the expressions of both Superman and General Zod.
Superman looked surprised; according to his character, he genuinely didn't know the Codex of Life was inside him.
General Zod frowned, his face darkening further.
He was contemplating whether to fight Superman or let Superman go.
Once it was confirmed that the Codex of Life was inside Superman, the conflict between them became irreconcilable.
General Zod switched the probe's program to a communicator, clinging to his last hope.
"Lin Peiluo, is it possible to extract the Codex of Life without harming Carl El?"
Lin Peiluo is the name of that bespectacled, frail-looking man.
At that moment, upon hearing General Zod's question, he replied:
"I've already done the experiment."
"I considered this possibility and attempted to extract the factors of the Codex of Life from Carl El's blood."
"However, although the extraction was successful, the genes in Carl El's blood collapsed."
"It could be said that the Codex of Life has become one with Carl El."
"If they want to extract the Codex of Life, then Carl El is doomed!"
These words instantly shattered the atmosphere of truce between General Zod and Superman.
Then, it became extremely dangerous.
General Zod remained silent; he was deep in thought.
After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind.
"Carl El, I'll kill you!!"
Never before had General Zod's killing intent been more intense than it was at this moment.
Even Superman didn't expect that this situation would completely escalate the conflict between them.
Seeing General Zod's desperate attacks, Superman had no choice but to fight back.
Even if he has a kind nature, he still has his bottom line.
He won't watch others use their bodies to do certain things.
In particular, they would exchange their own lives for the continuation of a civilization to which they had little affection.
Superman isn't that great.
Thump thump~!
General Zod, exerting all his strength and in a desperate state, launched an exceptionally powerful offensive.
Superman was barely holding on at first, but now he's being forced to retreat!
Click!
The sound of bones breaking was heard; this was the first time Superman had been seriously injured!
Seeing this, General Zod pressed his advantage and pursued the enemy.
However, what he feared happened.
Before General Zod's fist could strike Superman again,
Superman shines brightly once again!
As the light shone, Superman's injuries healed.
Their physical fitness has also seen a leap forward.
This time, the light was not just light, but also impactful.
Thud!
The impact, carrying light, transformed into a spherical shockwave that radiated outwards from Superman.
The shockwave struck General Zod; he only had time to raise his hand to defend himself.
Then, he was thrown away.
Superman, who unleashed this shockwave, is now slowly but steadily flying into the sky.
