After verification passed.
The inner hatch began to open, and Kryptonian gas poured out from within. Maintaining his biomagnetic field, He-El opened a gap and let part of the Kryptonian gas flow into his mouth.
He-El's expression darkened slightly. His body reacted violently, as though he had suddenly gained dozens of pounds, though that was only an illusion.
Whether it was Heat Vision, telescopic vision, microscopic vision, X-ray vision, his body of steel, or freeze breath, all of their power diminished simultaneously.
The Kryptonian gas was suppressing him, trying to break down his cells. Yet due to the density and unique nature of He-El's cells, along with the vast reserves of energy within them, even Kryptonian gas could not fully affect him.
The cells within his body began to resist fiercely, drawing upon deeply stored energy and gradually developing resistance to the Kryptonian gas.
For He-El, who could adapt to cosmic radiation within a single breath and travel through space, this adaptation was exceedingly slow.
That was because Kryptonian gas had always been a poison that suppressed, degraded, blocked energy absorption, and erased a Kryptonian's abilities.
It had been an atmospheric gas developed in ancient times, after Krypton lost a war against the entire universe and was nearly exterminated, choosing instead to hide.
This Kryptonian atmosphere, spread across the entire planet, erased the strength Kryptonians took pride in and prevented Kryptonian cells from absorbing yellow sunlight. Thus, after its defeat, Krypton had hidden deep within the stars, avoided detection, and survived until every Kryptonian had forgotten their own greatness.
Compared to Kryptonians, who lost their superpowers and became like ordinary people simply by inhaling Kryptonian gas, He-El was already powerful enough that his abilities had merely been reduced by thirty to forty percent.
At his current level, He-El could not
