Ben: You Can Do Whatever You Want

The Phantom Zone was usable, but ultimately only Zod was imprisoned Phantom Zone.

Jor-El spoke with Zod alone, which changed Zod's mind. He decided to leave Faora and the other two to follow Ben and let them witness the future of what Ben called the New Krypton.

Although Ben's plan to rebuild Krypton was, in his eyes, a betrayal of his ancestors, it was still Krypton after all.

Even if he doesn't accept it himself, it doesn't change this fact.

So he ordered Faora and the other two to stay behind and witness the birth of the New Krypton, while Zod himself—even knowing he would be taken to the Phantom Zone, Zod remained resolute.

There is only one Krypton in his heart. No matter how many years he is imprisoned, as long as he can see the light of day again, he will inevitably make a comeback until one day, Clark and Ben Parker can no longer bear it and kill him, or vice versa.

In fact, Faora and the other two share the same will as him, but Zod also needs them to witness the future of the New Krypton. He doesn't trust Clark and Ben, and feels that the naturally born New Krypton might become traitors like Clark.

Faora and the other two could not disobey his orders as a general, so they agreed.

So far, it can be said to be a good ending.

Not long after, Ben pulled out a gadget that looked like a combination of a flashlight and a laser gun.

"This is the Phantom Zone Projector."

As he spoke, he picked up the gun and fired it into the void to the side. Immediately afterwards, inside the spaceship, a small void unfolded like a vortex, with an unfathomable distorted space inside.

How did you do that?

Joe Al was utterly astonished.

Ben was able to make the projector so small, and more importantly, the Phantom Zone it opened was very smooth, unlike the dangerous Phantom Zone channels originally used by Krypton.

You should know that in order to stabilize the Phantom Zone and make use of it, he had to carry out a huge project, using a special position to isolate the inside and outside of the Phantom Zone.

The device was almost Xing Yi.

Furthermore, the entrance to the Phantom Zone cannot be freely changed.

However, the projector that Ben brought out solved all his technical problems. First, the projector was very small and portable. Second, it could open the Phantom Zone anytime, anywhere, which was equivalent to carrying the prison gate with him.

Most importantly, the opened passage is very stable, as if some kind of barrier isolates it, preventing the energy of the Phantom Zone from coming into contact with the real world.

"It's a stance, I added a stance." Ben had a gourmet-like face.

In this universe, Superman's stance is practically one of the most versatile abilities. Lifting a plane can be a stance, flying can be a stance, and even making himself unrecognizable by wearing glasses can be a stance.

Moreover, one's stance does indeed have an effect.

"You're a genius!" Jor-El exclaimed. He didn't know what race the Grey Matter was, but judging from his performance, his intelligence level had probably already surpassed that of the Kryptonian.

At least he, Kryptonian with scientist genes, is inferior to his opponent.

He praised the Grey Matter ' racial intelligence.

However, Ben shook his head and said, "The one I transformed into is very intelligent, but not everyone is intelligent; every race has its flaws to some extent."

You're right, right, Driba, Blukic?

Furthermore, the reason Ben was able to perfect the Phantom Zone Projector so quickly was because its concept aligned with the Null Void Projector he had always wanted to create. As for the application of the field...

Having transformed into Solarstorm Ben has personally experienced the energy of a field, making him far more experienced than ordinary Kryptonian like Jor-El who haven't received any power enhancements.

"Goodbye then, Zod. I hope you can change your mind in the Phantom Zone." Jor-El sealed Zod back into the device. Then, under Zod's disdainful gaze, he sent him to the other side of the passage.

At this point, the passage to the Phantom Zone is closed.

"When will we rebuild Krypton?" Faora asked.

She is a female warrior who always carries out her orders. Zod's mission for them was to watch the reconstruction of New Krypton, and she herself shares the same wish, so now she can't wait a moment longer.

"Don't rush, we can start once I get back." Ben hasn't finished his business in this universe yet, so of course he can't leave in a hurry.

"New Krypton isn't in this universe?"

"What, are you so attached to this universe?" Ben retorted.

Krypton is gone, so what does it matter which universe it's rebuilt in? He didn't think these Kryptonian were that picky about universes.

Sure enough, Faora shook her head. "I just hope you can do it as soon as possible, and also, it's best not to lie to us."

"No need."

Eliminating them would be a simple matter for Ben; why bother with all the scheming and deception?

He turned the spaceship around, intending to return to Earth first and then try to retrieve the Mother Box.

"I wonder if Aquaman Arthur has become the ruler of Atlantis yet," Ben pondered.

The DCEU universe suffers from a lack of planning, or rather, planning that was not well implemented, resulting in a short and unremarkable storyline, a somewhat chaotic timeline, and Ben not even knowing where each of the different Super Hero stands in their respective timelines.

The only certainty is that Wonder Woman lived in America.

As for the others... Cyborg is most likely not born yet due to an accident, and he doesn't know if Barry Allen has already become the Flash.

However, these weren't Ben's biggest concerns; the question he was pondering was—

Take only one Mother Box, or take them all?

The Mother Box is different from the Infinity Stones. Individual Infinity Stones have their own effects, but when all six are combined, they can unleash their full power.

However, the Mother Box itself is a man-made product, a creation of the Apokolips civilization. A single Mother Box possesses various functions such as teleportation, time manipulation, and molecular restructuring, essentially giving it the power of multiple Infinity Stones.

However, unlike the Infinity Stones, they are not omnipotent.

When the three Mother Box come together, they can create something called the "Unity Force," but Ben doesn't know exactly what this power does.

In the movie, Darkseid collected the three Mother Box, but Cyborg cracked them. Before he could even witness the greatness of the so-called Unity Force, Steppenwolf was beaten into a husky by Clark.

One axe blow, and Superman's health bar didn't appear; instead, the axe's durability was gone...

"Two are fine."

Ben made a decision: he would take both Mother Box, one from the human and the other from Atlantis.

The Mother Box can be artificially manufactured, although it is quite difficult. However, with his current level of technology and capabilities, it is not impossible to succeed. From this point of view, it is unnecessary to take away all the Mother Box. However, if only one is taken away, it seems that there is no reference.

If one breaks, there's always a second one as insurance.

As for the Mother Box of Paradise Island, it's a bit troublesome to find, and Ben doesn't really want to mess with those women.

Paradise Island is currently peaceful and stable. Taking the Mother Box from there would inevitably lead to war with those people, but Atlantis is different.

Ben recalls that in the Aquaman movie, Atlantis attempted to invade the land, which must have happened after Superman's death. Otherwise, Darkseid wouldn't have dared to show his face while Superman was still alive, so how could a nobody like him possibly cause trouble?

From this perspective, Atlantis is currently in a state of preparation for war. The King of the Seven Seas have not yet reached a consensus, and Arthur has not yet become king, making it a suitable Ben take advantage of the chaos.

Ben said there was no rush, and Faora had no choice but to sit aside with her arms crossed, expressing her protest out of the corner of her eye.

The burly Kryptonian was taciturn and clearly not very bright, so he naturally had nothing to say at the moment.

As for that staff member, Ben did know his name.

--Jax Ulrich

He was not a soldier, but a scientist belonging to the Krypton military, specializing in weapons research. He was once imprisoned for researching nuclear weapons, which resulted in the deaths of 500 people on Krypton, but was later released.

He always followed Zod.

Now that the leader has suddenly changed, he doesn't have any extra thoughts. After all, Zod's orders are for them to obey Ben's orders, and they will not betray him unless Ben breaks his oath.

He wasn't in a hurry to take action.

We've already been drifting in space for two or three decades, so waiting a little longer won't hurt. As long as he sees results within a few years, that's enough.

Upon returning to Earth, Ben immediately began gathering information about the Mother Box.

With nothing to do, Ben told the three Kryptonian to find a deserted place to absorb solar radiation to enhance their strength.

As for the Kryptonian Spaceship, Ben put it into stealth mode and parked it deep in the mountains, while Ben himself continued to digest other Krypton technologies.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

Krypton possesses a vast and comprehensive knowledge base, spanning various fields. This knowledge is the culmination of countless generations, something that Ben could not match with the intellect of a Grey Matter.

Although the Grey Matter are clever, they still need to keep learning.

It's impossible to go all the way by relying on the basic knowledge of Galvan Prime that's inherent in our genes.

Of course, what he was most interested in was the Kryptonian combat suit.

"How did you manage to make the combat suits give you such a huge boost?" Ben asked. Ordinary Kryptonian are only so-so in terms of strength, but after putting on the combat armor, their combat power can be said to increase dramatically.

Don't be fooled by how easily Zod and his group were dealt with by Ben and Clark; in reality, no one on Earth can truly stand up to Zod at this stage.

"Ur is more qualified to speak on this than I am," Joe Al said.

He is a pacifist, and his research focuses on weapons.

"However, I can explain the basic principles," Jor-El said. "Actually, these armors can't exhibit such power on Krypton. They were created to conquer other planets."

As for the principle, it's all about stance.

Only the power of a stance can allow the armor to enhance the wearer's mobility so greatly without tearing apart what lies within it.

"However, once the yellow sun's rays are absorbed, the armor's enhancement becomes negligible." Joe El didn't understand why Ben was so obsessed with the armor's power.

You possess power far greater than that.

"I have it, but not everyone has it."

Ben replied.

If the technology of Krypton armor were incorporated into the Plumber Uniform, the Plumbers ' combat capabilities would be significantly enhanced!

In terms of performance, this suit of armor is enough to make every Plumbers warrior reach the level of Four Arms in terms of combat power— Ben naturally refers to the Four Arms in its blank state.

This boosted the Plumbers ' productivity.

Although he established the Galactic Plumbers, the fact that the Plumbers were not strong enough was a constant source of trouble for Ben.

So far, Sakaar and Earth have experienced many major events, and the role played by Plumbers has actually been minimal. To put it bluntly, many Plumbers are not even qualified to clear out low-level soldiers.

Even the Security Officer ' fighting ability is starting to fall behind.

Sakaar may seem like a thriving planet in the universe, but in reality, it's mostly Ben who's keeping it afloat.

Now, this situation can change. Soon, the Plumbers will become the most powerful legion in the universe, and the combat power of each Plumbers will be greatly enhanced, at least to the level of a top warrior in Asgard.

Speaking of legions...

Ben stroked his chin, deep in thought, "Should we get Lantern Ring, and form a Plumber Green Lantern Corps?"

He quickly dismissed the idea.

It's unnecessary. Besides, the Green Lantern thing requires charging, and it also has a debuff that makes it easy to get wiped out. A single Green Lantern is fine, but once there are many of them, they're just like minions.

Of course, anything that becomes numerous will inevitably become a foot soldier.

Like Primus's Iron Legion, each individual unit seems to possess combat power comparable to Iron Man's armor, yet when the entire army is deployed, they are always wiped out in swathes.

From this perspective, it's best not to have too many people in the first batch of new combat suits.

Clark returned to Earth.

What he experienced in the past few days was more exciting and astonishing than anything he had done in the previous decades.

He planned to go back to Kansas to see his mother, Martha, to tell her everything he had been through, to tell her that he had found his people, and to tell her that perhaps the world wasn't ready yet, but he was.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but recall the questions he had asked Ben before leaving the spaceship.

At that time, he was still hesitant. Although Jor-El wanted him to become the leader of the Earthlings, Clark did not know how the Earthlings would view him.

Do you think they will accept me?

"No." At the time, Ben was still studying the armor and gave Clark a surprising answer without even turning his head.

He thought Ben would encourage him.

"Heroes are good, of course, but only if you're under their control. Otherwise, who would like them?" Ben said sarcastically. "Do you think everyone is clean? Nobody wants someone constantly flying around their head, living in fear. As for those you saved... I'm sorry, but even Superman can't save everyone. Those saved might not thank you, but those not saved will definitely resent you."

Clark was taken aback, and somewhat hesitantly steered the conversation away from the topic of humanity. "Do you think it would be better for me to cooperate with the government?"

"Unless you intend to become their pet dog."

"Then what should I do? I don't know when the world is ready."

Ben finally turned around.

His horizontal eyes looked at Clark, making Clark feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he tensed up.

Why wait until they're ready?

"The key is whether you're ready, Clark."

"Why should you care about others? You have overwhelming power. If you wanted, you could kill all the people on Earth in a single day, or make them kneel before you in submission. You can do whatever you want, yet you intend to be a good person."

"For that alone, they should kneel down and thank you. If they think you're a good person who deserves to be held at gunpoint, then you should show them what Superman is."
