Thunderclouds churned above the city, and before anyone realized it, torrential rain began pouring over Metropolis, making the rescue efforts below even more difficult.
But that applied only to mortals. To the three gods among men in the sky, the driving rain was no different from air.
Zod's eyes glowed red as heat vision shot out, slicing a skyscraper in half.
Blue-white currents suddenly erupted from Bruce Wayne's body. He stretched out a hand toward the collapsing skyscraper in the distance, unleashing a powerful Electromagnetic Force.
Under his precise control, the skyscraper's descent slowed to a gradual fall. By the time it reached the ground, none of the workers inside had been harmed.
Then Bruce Wayne glared furiously at General Zod. Crossing his arms, he made metal fragments within a radius of a kilometer suddenly rise into the air. Amid the hum of Magnetic Field Rotation, they formed a spiraling storm. Twenty thousand horsepower of Magnetic Field Rotation turned every piece of scrap steel into a razor-sharp blade.
"Try this, monster." Bruce's voice trembled with the vibrations of the Magnetic storm. As he threw his left fist forward, the rotating magnetic field abruptly compressed the air around Zod into an invisible wall.

General Zod knew he could not continue like this. He had to
