Faora felt like she was dreaming.

Kryptonian have an extremely thorough understanding of themselves, enabling them to customize individuals from the embryonic stage, creating vastly different Kryptonian.

But Kryptonian still cannot comprehend life the Miracle such as intuition, dreams, and premonitions.

Faora couldn't understand why, even though he and his subordinates had become stronger, they were more vulnerable when facing Shazo.

That doesn't make sense, does it?

Shazo, however, thought that the Kryptonian were really stupid and naive. They had been holed up on Krypton for too long, and even professional soldiers thought that if their Nature Transformation and their combat abilities increased, they would become stronger.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

The power of General Zod and Superman was overwhelming to Shazo, leaving him with no way to overcome them.

After all, the saying "one force can overcome ten techniques" is never just an empty phrase.

However, as long as the strength difference is not significant, combat skills become extremely important.

When the Krypton Warrior are fully armed, their armor is equipped with powerful combat techniques that can counter Shazo's various skills, leaving Shazo Nezumi and unable to find a way to attack.

Shazo couldn't deliver a fatal blow; he could only try to destroy the Krypton armor or break its helmets to expose them to Earth's environment before attempting to kill them.

The Krypton Warrior' power has now doubled, causing them to become disconnected from their armor's combat support. They are proactively deactivating their helmets and combat support functions to better utilize their own power.

So when Shazo punched Faora, he was surprised to find that the resistance from the Krypton armor had disappeared.

Overjoyed, Shazo reached out to the other two Krypton Warrior, confirming once again that they too had lost the aid of their armor, and then mercilessly broke the first warrior's cervical spine.

Although it looked like a violent push, it actually started with a pullback motion.

Shazo's pull-back caused the Krypton Warrior to resist with force, and then he followed the Krypton Warrior's backward force, combining the strength of the two to break the relatively fragile cervical spine in one fell swoop.

As for the second warrior being beheaded, it wasn't simply because he lunged at him.

Shazo referenced the power generation technique of the Fourth Raikage's [Lightning Release: Lightning-Type Hot Knife] from the Naruto World, pushing his speed to its maximum, and converting it into a powerful dragging force the moment his arm made contact with the Krypton Warrior's neck.

The Krypton Warrior's neck wasn't severed, but rather sawed off using a large saw.

However, Shazo also discovered that he was having some difficulty dealing with Faora.

Because this female Krypton Warrior was quite skilled in combat, after being tricked into throwing a punch by Shazo, she promptly adjusted her posture and flight direction, using a rapid upward flight to dissipate most of Shazo's force. This allowed her to only suffer a broken nose instead of having her head completely blown off.

No wonder she completely abandoned her Krypton armor and entered the battlefield wearing only close-fitting clothes.

But such enemies are more interesting, aren't they?

Shazo was overjoyed and laughed happily. Then he Body Flicker Technique rushed towards Faora.

As for the last Krypton Warrior, he had already forgotten about him.

A burly, strong man could easily defeat an enemy with a single move; nothing beats a beautiful, slender, and powerful Krypton woman.

Although Faora's nose was broken and bleeding, she did not appear ugly; instead, she possessed a Shattering and fragile beauty.

Her combat abilities are also top-notch; she can hold her own against Shazo.

Shazo had to concentrate and exert all his strength to suppress her, but it was difficult to overwhelm her in a short time.

Such an opponent, much weaker than oneself but full of resilience and beautiful in appearance, is the best and most suitable opponent to enjoy fighting against.

Shazo was having a great time, while Faora was very upset.

But she didn't get discouraged; instead, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

After being punched in the face, Faora realized just how strong Shazo was. While surprised, he also resolved that he had to desperately hold off this human and prevent him from going to other battlefields, which could lead to the complete collapse of their control.

She believed that General Zod would defeat the enemy and then come to her aid; she believed that as long as she held on, victory would surely belong to the great Krypton.

Holding fast to her belief in perseverance, Faora's fighting spirit was unwavering. Her Gods as she shouted loudly and engaged in a fierce battle with Shazo.

Both of them remained in flight, like two phantoms colliding with each other, constantly erupting with thunderous collision sounds.

The Green Lantern was stunned by the sheer ferocity of the battle.

In his moment of distraction, he failed to stop the third Krypton Warrior, allowing him to charge into Shazo and Faora's battle.

The Krypton Warrior saw that Faora was at a disadvantage, and because of the military code ingrained in his genes, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to help Faora achieve victory.

The Krypton Warrior then pounced on Shazo, holding him tightly in his arms, while shouting, "Vice Commander, for victory, attack me!"

Faora's eyes reddened, and then she activated her Heat Vision, skillfully avoiding her own subordinates, and struck the immobilized Shazo on the head.

In less than a second, Shazo's head completely evaporated, releasing a large amount of white smoke.

Green Lantern stared wide-eyed, never imagining that his negligence would lead to Shazo's death.

Tears streamed down Green Lantern's face as he cried out, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"I didn't mean to! I'm sorry!!"

As his grief overwhelmed him, Green Lantern's mind was filled with unspoken words, and his will naturally wavered. Consequently, the Green Lantern energy showed even more severe fluctuations, and large swaths of green light retreated back into the Green Lantern ring.

Green Lantern is no longer capable of fighting; even flying has become a struggle for him.

Just then, Green Lantern's shoulder was grabbed, and Shazo appeared from behind him.

Shazo looked into the completely dazed Green Lantern's eyes and read sadness, panic, and intense disbelief in them.

But he still said coldly, "Hal Jordan, if you make another mistake like that, I'll kill you."

The Shazo that was shot through was not real, but Wood Clone created with Wood Release Chakra.

Shazo's [Mantra] provided him with extremely tight control over the battlefield. When the Krypton Warrior broke free from Green Lantern and charged at him, he used the [Substitution Technique] to replace his original body with a clone.

It must be said that when facing the straightforward Krypton Warrior, the Ninja's various techniques are like underhanded tricks, perfectly countering them.

No wonder that even though they all mastered Chakra, the samurai were outcompeted by the Ninja.

As Shazo flew toward Faora again, Green Lantern had calmed down, regained his composure, and channeled his green energy back toward the Krypton Warrior.

Jordan found that his heart had become more resolute than ever before, and the green energy was exerting even greater power, firmly suppressing the Krypton Warrior.

He had never imagined that deep-seated fear could strengthen his will like never before; it completely overturned his worldview.

Despite being completely shattered by Shazo's overwhelming power, Jordan remained steadfast and resolutely stopped the Krypton Warrior, ensuring that Shazo could fight Faora undisturbed.

This failure shook Faora's confidence; having given her all only to hit a wooden Stand, she displayed a strong lack of self-confidence.

With each attack, Faora unconsciously held back three-tenths of her power to avoid revealing that the enemy was using a substitute, which would prevent her from retracting her attack and creating a fatal opening.

But this restrictive fighting style is its biggest weakness.

Originally, Shazo had a slight advantage in strength, but now Faora's self-restraint has widened the gap between her and Shazo, making it difficult to even maintain a stalemate.

Faora's eyes reddened again; she activated her Heat Vision once more, forcing back Shazo's attack and slightly easing the situation.

However, the Heat Vision was too taxing, causing her breathing to become momentarily disordered.

Shazo couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you're not Kryptonian of the same level as Superman and General Zod after all. Heat Vision seems to be a bit too much for you."

"Keep going! Keep using Heat Vision!"

"If you use it a few more times, our battle will be over much faster!"

Faora's heart sank, but her expression remained unwavering as she calmly dealt with Shazo's attacks and launched a counterattack.

However, Shazo's [Mantra] picked up a voice: [Zod, victory will surely belong to us Kryptonian, I believe in you! I will hold on until you come to save me!]

Shazo's smile gradually turned sinister.

For some reason, he found Faora, a woman who appeared strong on the surface but retained a hint of vulnerability inside, increasingly attractive.

It's really very appealing.

[Hehe, I think I understand Cao Cao a little better now.]

[Oh dear, am I a pervert?]

[Oh, so I was a madman all along? Never mind then.]

Please don't misunderstand, Shazo in the DC universe is a mentally ill lunatic. His liking for Faora is similar to liking large figurines, and does not involve any low-level desires such as lust.

At least for the time being, it will not be involved.

The fighting was equally intense in New York.

The Kryptonian led the attack on New York City was unusually tall, nearly four meters, and broad-shouldered and burly, clearly a power-type warrior.

His name was Apollo Atlas III, and he was once an ordinary low-ranking Krypton soldier.

After countless fierce battles, day after day of training and honing his skills, and using all the merits he gained to improve himself, he finally broke through his genetic limits.

When Apollo began to follow General Zod, he was already Sergeant in the army, freed from the limitations of a soldier, and quickly rose to become one of Zod's important military leaders.

Among the Kryptonian today, Apollo is undoubtedly the third most important figure.

On the battlefield, Apollo was engaged in a one-on-one duel with Wonder Woman, and his name ignited an even stronger fighting spirit in Wonder Woman.

To be fair, Apollo Atlas III's raw power far surpasses Wonder Woman's, but Wonder Woman has some kind of cheat code.

Wonder Woman is the undisputed Third Shinobi World War on Earth, after Superman and Shazo.

Her father was Zeus, the king of the gods. He had demigod blood, boundless potential, and had been tempered by many wars, making him highly skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful.

From the start of the battle, Wonder Woman launched a series of surprise attacks on Apollo, not only fighting Krypton Sergeant to a standstill but also frequently putting Apollo on the defensive.

Wonder Woman's ability to defeat enemies stronger than herself is largely due to her numerous magical Divine Weapon.

Apollo was cornered by the Godkiller and had no choice but to risk injury to knock Godkiller away.

But in the blink of an eye, Wonder Woman had already raised her divine shield, blocking left and right, seemingly completely unaffected.

After Apollo was driven mad by the torment and smashed the shield of power away, Wonder Woman put on the Starflight Crown, followed by the Bracelets of Submission, the Starflight Crown, the Champion's Helmet, and the Winged Sandals!

As the fight went on, Apollo's expression grew increasingly strange. Wonder Woman, though less powerful than him, always managed to pull out powerful equipment to save the day.

These are mouthwatering Divine Weapon, rare finds even in the entire Universe, yet they're being brought out one by one, as if these Divine Weapon could be wholesaled.

Apollo was mentally thrown off balance by Wonder Woman's attack, while Kong and Green Arrow were suffering heavy losses.

To be precise, the Superhero team protecting New York City was poorly configured; Kong's value lay not in combat, but in logistics, intelligence, and research.

Kong possesses a true Steel Body, but his fighting style is ranged attack, even wide-area attacks.

Green Arrow is a weakened version of Kong; he can't even progress at all.

When the Tank and Wonder Woman of the three-person team were entangled with Apollo and unable to free up their hands, the two archers were surrounded by three flying Kryptonian, naturally putting them in an extremely difficult situation.

Green Arrow, being an ordinary human, couldn't hold on any longer. The Krypton Warrior seized the opportunity to get close and quickly broke his bones and tendons. Even his specially made longbow was taken away and broken by the Krypton Warrior.

After Green Arrow fell, Kong was in even more pain, which distracted even Wonder Woman.

Distraction caused Wonder Woman to lose focus, and when she swung Godkiller, Apollo dodged it by bending over and rolling.

The massive Krypton Warrior burst into the air with his feet planted firmly on the ground. His fists tore through the air like cannonballs, and the speed and power of his punches were beyond human comprehension. He even shattered the air, creating sonic booms, vacuums, and sonic boom clouds.

Hearing the popping sound in the air, Wonder Woman realized she was in danger, but when she tried to dodge, she was surprised to find that she had no time left.

Moreover, Apollo's fist grew larger and larger, as if a small mountain was pressing down, leaving no room to dodge.

Wonder Woman could only raise her shield, bracing herself to take the punch head-on.
