Ben: So You're General Zod? Believe Me, I'll Rip Your Helmet Right Off and Scatter It Everywhere!

Bang!

High in the sky, the thick clouds suddenly burst open, forming a spherical vacuum zone.

Two red shadows darted through the clouds, creating sonic booms that shattered the clouds and left behind white rings of smoke. The red shadows were as elusive as Flash.

Bang!

Another collision occurred, and the powerful shockwave caused a shockwave almost as strong as an earthquake. Clark was instantly thrown away, flying out of control like a kite with a broken string.

Even Superman seems somewhat powerless against a fully enhanced, genetically optimized Solarstorm.

Needless to say, he was far inferior to Ben in terms of skill.

Throughout Clark's past life, although he knew he possessed extraordinary Superpowers, he always restrained and suppressed them. However, Ben immediately threw himself into the battle after the Little Broken Watch was rebooted.

He resolved New York City's prehistoric crisis, became king of Sakaar in a month, swept away Hydra, defeated Thanos, and ruled the Nine Realms...

In comparison, Da Chao was just a greenhorn in front of him.

However, Clark's learning ability was astonishing. He was quickly learning Ben's combat skills, and even the fighting skills that Ben derived from the genes of the Tetramand were being rapidly absorbed, enriching his own combat power.

At that moment, he felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration.

It's like someone who has lived in a cramped cardboard box since childhood is finally Energy of the Universe unleash their full power without worrying about destroying everything with just a little effort.

"Hahaha..."

At this moment, Clark was like a monkey released from prison after being imprisoned for five hundred years; even while being beaten, he laughed heartily.

While he was still grinning foolishly, Ben suddenly rushed out from below, grabbed Clark's cape from behind, and began to spin it vigorously like a windmill.

The powerful centrifugal force made Clark dizzy and disoriented, even creating a huge wind field on the spot, and thick clouds gathered to form a huge vortex!

It was just a battle between two people, yet it almost easily created a terrible storm.

However, before the strange cyclone could fully form, Ben suddenly released his grip and forcefully flung Clark into the air.

Whoosh--

Clark heard the sound of air rushing past his ears, a sound as if space itself was being torn apart.

The next moment, his mind suddenly became clear, as if all was still.

It wasn't until he opened his eyes that he realized Ben had actually flung him directly to the edge of Earth's atmosphere. Even some mid-altitude satellites were moving far away from him. When he looked up, the outline of Earth emitted a faint blue light, which was reflected in his eyes.

Further away, the golden light, like a divine miracle from God, illuminated Clark's body.

He felt every cell in his body leaping with joy under the golden light, and his body was filled with power.

Your cells are absorbing energy from the sun.

Ben had somehow gotten to Clark's side.

He changed his original yellow uniform, and the battle suit he was wearing now was very similar to Clark's, except that the blue parts had been replaced with black, and the "S" on his chest had become the symbol of the Galactic Plumbers.

At this moment, he was no longer Solarstorm, but Darksun.

Ben also spread his arms, his figure resembling a cross, looking as if a god had descended to earth.

"You look like a god," Clark said softly.

Of all the Superman, perhaps his inner self is the closest to that of a human, filled with confusion and bewilderment, a stark contrast to the steadfast and optimistic demeanor of previous Superman.

"Why? Just because my posture resembles Jesus on the cross?"

Ben retorted, "I really don't understand why you would use the cross as a symbol of Jesus. Do you think Jesus would like the cross?"

Clark:...

"What should we do next?" He skipped over the topic and looked at Ben, asking.

He vaguely regarded Ben as his pillar of support, which was understandable, since Ben was the first person he had met in all these years to possess extraordinary power like her.

In Ben's eyes, this was the first time he had experienced a sense of belonging.

Moreover, Ben knows more about people with special abilities than he does, and is more experienced in dealing with things that threaten Earth.

"Needless to say, we need to find Zod and deal with him."

Ben said matter-of-factly.

He wasn't going to wait for Zod to come knocking on his door.

So what if you're Kryptonian? What gives you the right to be so arrogant? I'll be right at your doorstep and rip your helmet off the ground!

"This..." Clark hesitated.

"Perhaps we have a better way."

Although he listened to Jor-El's words, Clark still wanted to communicate with Zod first, hoping that Zod, who represented Krypton, could get along with Earthlings in a friendly manner.

The fact that he was able to grow up safely on Earth is enough to prove that Kryptonian can coexist with humans.

"So what happened?"

Ben glanced at him and understood what Clark was thinking.

Unfortunately, Zod was not going to coexist obediently with Earthlings as he wished, and Clark's idea was destined to fail.

Looking at the innocent Clark, Ben couldn't help but ask an important question.

"Clark, are you Kryptonian or an Earthling?"

"If Zod decides not to cooperate, whose side will you be on?"

"I..."

Clark was stunned.

He really didn't know how to answer. By blood, he was undoubtedly Kryptonian, a visitor from outer space. But he was raised by an Earth couple. This blue planet was his home, and those humans, whom he saw as incredibly fragile, were the people he lived with.

Caught between two races, Clark felt caught in a dilemma.

"I'll tell you the answer, Clark." Ben turned around, the sunlight shining down on him from behind.

You are both.

Regarding the interpretation of this question, Ben believes that another "Superman's" answer is just right, which comes from the cosmic Superman Ultraman, who is both an Earthling and a cosmic being.

The answer is not confined to either extraterrestrials or Earthlings, but rather to the respondent's resolute and unwavering belief in all the difficulties they will face.

In contrast, Clark's bewilderment in the face of such a situation is itself a sign of his naiveté.

"I didn't say you can't communicate with him, but Clark, you need to understand that Zod is a huge threat to Earth. Even if you're just communicating, it's best to stay away from Earth."

You make a good point.

Clark nodded.

The thought of his own terrifying power made him realize that Ben was right.

If Zod is unwilling to cooperate and a conflict breaks out between the two sides on Earth, their battle could unintentionally lead to the destruction of a city.

Without realizing it, Clark had already made his decision.

He stood on the side of justice.

--

In the universe.

General Zod and his entourage were overwhelmed with emotion.

They originally thought they would be imprisoned Eternity, but unexpectedly, the destruction of Krypton caused problems in the prison, allowing them to escape from the black hole.

Although the planet had been destroyed, they did not give up hope.

Krypton once left behind countless outposts in the universe. These planets were originally chosen by the ancient Kryptonian for colonization and were fully capable of being terraformed.

Most importantly, he witnessed Jor-El and Lara sending their son and the Codex away.

Karl El must be among those countless stars, but he needs time to find him.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is my first novel.

In fact, in the two or three decades since they escaped, they have set foot on dozens of planets and even reached the edge of the Milky Way, but have gained nothing.

All the outposts have been abandoned, and almost all the planets have failed to give rise to real life and civilization, or become habitable, as expected.

Many of these planets even have stars in their star systems that have been destroyed due to unforeseen circumstances, turning them into dark, cold, and dead planets.

Just when they were searching in vain and feeling desperate, they suddenly received a signal from the other side of the Milky Way.

Another outpost spaceship has been launched!

"Perhaps they are descendants of Krypton sent out tens of thousands of years ago; maybe they're still alive," a burly warrior speculated.

The Black Zero Legion under Commander Zod was not large in number; in fact, only a few of them were willing to join him in the rebellion. Therefore, the rebellion was easily suppressed.

"That's impossible," a thin old man standing nearby said, shaking his head.

He didn't look like a soldier, but more like a staff officer.

"The outpost has been out of contact with Krypton's homeworld for tens of thousands of years, and they are completely unaware of its destruction. How could they possibly send us a message at a time like this?"

The female warrior Faora remained silent, turning her head slightly to look at them.

A glint of excitement flashed in Zod's slightly gloomy eyes.

"You're right!"

"Judging by the time, Jor-El's son should be all grown up by now." He chuckled. "A Kryptonian grew up on an alien planet, I believe he must be filled with confusion and bewilderment about his origins. He must have discovered the outpost ship abandoned on that planet and activated it in his search for his true self."

"I told you, I would find him, Lara!"

At this moment, Zod was incredibly excited.

He had been betrayed by his friend once, and in his view, if it weren't for Jor-El's selfish actions, Krypton would have already been revived under his influence.

He will fulfill his mission and save the planet and its inhabitants from destruction.

But all of this was ruined by the actions of Jor-El and Lara, who acted on their own initiative.

But they never expected this day, never expected that General Zod would survive the destruction of Krypton, never expected that he would find their child!

It may have been decades late, but Krypton's hope and flame will never be extinguished!

"Find him!"

He excitedly gave the order.

"But... what if he's unwilling to cooperate?" the aide asked with some concern.

A Kryptonian lost in the world, living in an environment of another civilization, would he consider Krypton his home planet?

Would he consider them his own kind?

Would he destroy the civilization that raised him in order to reshape Krypton?

"If he's unwilling, we'll help him become willing," Zod said without thinking, glancing at him briefly.

Kal'el's ideas were never in his consideration. Since the other party was born Kryptonian, he should do his best to revitalize Krypton. Let alone transforming a planet, even if it meant sacrificing his own life, it would be worth it.

However, your concerns may not be unfounded.

Zod stroked his chin and began to think.

He knew perfectly well that Jor-El's son was fundamentally different from them, the Kryptonian.

He was a naturally born Kryptonian, whose genes did not bind him in any way. Kal'El would not be like them, willing to sacrifice everything for Krypton.

Zod didn't care about anything else, but it would be terrible if Karl El destroyed the Codex in order to fight against them.

"We need to try to make contact with him, control him, and then obtain the Codex," Faora said. "I don't think it will be difficult. The messages from the outpost ship contain all the information about that planet's civilization. They know nothing about us. Jor-El's child has never revealed himself; he doesn't trust Earthlings."

"Get the Earthlings to stand against him." The advisors quickly devised a sinister plan.

From beginning to end, they never considered the thoughts of Earthlings.

In Zod's view, when Krypton was conquering the universe tens of thousands of years ago, Earthlings were just a group of savages wearing animal skins and without even a language, so there was no need to care about them.

"Soon, Krypton will reappear in the universe!" Zod said with a sense of ecstasy and satisfaction, "And we will finally fulfill our destiny!"

However...

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Who's knocking?

The people inside the spaceship looked at each other in bewilderment.

How could someone be knocking on the door of a spaceship traveling through space at unimaginable speeds?

But then the continuous knocking started all the way down.

"Where!"

Faora was the first to spot the target, and as she pointed, Zod and the others quickly looked out of the spaceship's cabin—and there, on the outside of the spaceship's glass, a strange creature splattered onto it like a sticky piece of gummy candy.

"What is this thing?" The staff member had barely uttered the question when he noticed the spaceship had come to an uncontrollable stop. The sticky mass outside the window was spreading like a virus and then seeping into the ship's interior.

"How rude! Didn't you hear me knocking on the door?"

Ben slowly stood up from the ground, and in the process, he controlled his spaceship to dock with the outpost ship that had come to him.

"Alright, Zod, are you planning to talk to us, or are you planning to get a good beating from me before you talk to us?"
