Slade emerged from the makeshift tent.

The night was very dark, and this was the only place in the Southern Suburbs illuminated by light.

He gazed into the distance with one eye and saw an Off-road Military Vehicle, its headlights like bayonets piercing the darkness, driving along the winding suburban road toward the Metropolis.

That was Sam Lane's vehicle.

Slade stood at the entrance of the makeshift tent, his body upright, gazing into the distance, watching him depart.

Behind him was General Vick, who had just parted ways with him, and was throwing a tantrum in his tent because of his uncontrollable behavior.

His eyes watched Sam Lane disappear into the darkness.

He strode toward the monster.

He vaguely sensed that everyone's relationships were like threads in a cage, pulling him along and controlling him in a way that made him uncomfortable.

The temporary camp was brightly lit at night, making it as bright as day, but the monster in one corner still made people afraid to shine bright lights directly on it, lest they stimulate it and drive it mad.

This corner was somewhat dark, with the light shining on the ground, reflecting strips of steel that gleamed with a metallic sheen. In the hazy, deep darkness, it seemed as if a terrifying monster lurked.

A Fine Steel Cage nearly ten meters high stands here.

Slade gradually moved from the light into the darkness.

The air seemed to tremble slightly as Jenny, trapped in the Fine Steel Cage, breathed heavily, causing the air to vibrate.

She was in Fine Steel Cage, seven meters tall, with huge, bloated limbs. Her bones kept growing and breaking, mixed with flesh and keratin on her skin, which was keratinized, highlighting her thick, white bones.

A large, terrifying, deeply skeletal, and ugly monster.

Her body was growing every moment, accompanied by pain. Her eyes, larger than a fist, were like sharp, venomous snakes, constantly contracting and expanding, sharp as knives.

Painful gasps escaped her lips as she gasped for air.

The air vibrated with Jenny's heavy, panting breaths.

Slade stepped in front of her, looked up at her, and in the darkness he could only see her eyes. Jenny's eyes were as big as two lanterns, the pupils were vertical slits, like a venomous snake that was about to devour people, and the whites of her eyes were torn with blood vessels like vines, which was terrifying.

Slade narrowed his eyes, staring at Jenny, feeling a Heat Wave of heat burning his skin, which moved him slightly.

It was late autumn, but as you approached Jenny, a scorching Heat Wave emanated from her body, making the air feel sweltering.

Jenny's body temperature was unusually high, and the air almost seemed to be steaming.

"I have a question for you," Slade said.

"Um..."

Jenny didn't speak directly, because speaking was torture and pain for her right now. She could only let out a deep groan from her nose, the sound vibrating through the air.

It was as if facing the breath of a giant dinosaur.

"Do you love Ba Di, or do you wish him dead?"

Slade added, his eyes narrowing coldly.

Jenny's eyes narrowed to slits in an instant, a terrifying sight that involuntarily brought to mind the feeling of the most horrifying beast facing its prey.

In an instant, the air seemed to ignite, and Heat Wave rolled in, scorching Death Knell's skin.

"Startle..."

She let out a deep, painful growl from her throat.

Now, with every word she speaks, muscles and bones are stretched across her throat, and cells are tearing apart everywhere, tearing her body apart. She doesn't know how long she can endure it or how long she can maintain this state.

But she knew she was going to die.

Slade didn't stop talking.

"You still love him, so you gave General Vick hope, preventing General Vick from truthfully reporting Ba Di's identity and allowing him to exist in a false world of ambition and lust for power?"

"He thought he could regain his status through you."

"He thought he could regain his power through you."

"He thought he could gain supreme power through you."

"All of this is what he thought."

"All of this was due to your temptation."

Is it worth doing all this?

After Slade finished speaking, he stared intently at the monster in front of him, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone has their own schemes, their own plans, and their own goals.

He said this to Jenny simply to tell Jenny that Ba Di was about to die at his hands, and whether Jenny really meant it or not, he was here to destroy everything Ba Di had.

His figure gradually walked into the darkness, heading towards the dark road and the distant, brightly lit Metropolis.

The night wind howled, obscuring his figure. He took out a yellow and black mask, put it on, and became Death Knell, his one eye fierce, before leaving the camp.

Behind them, a pair of monster eyes were terrifyingly sharp!

If Death Knell hadn't been lying on the operating table like a dead dog, then this memory played by Hera would have had a tragic, heroic feel to it, leaving one deeply moved.

But now that he's a prisoner of Ba Di, that doesn't feel so good.

After watching this tragic memory, and then seeing Death Knell lying on the operating table like a dead dog, it's... a rather comical feeling.

Ba Di rested his right hand on his left, rubbing his right thumb against his left palm. After watching the memory that Hera had suggested he see, his eyes flickered slightly.

"So, Hera, what's your purpose in suggesting I look at this memory?"

"Ba Di asked."

It is impossible to know whether Jenny, as Death Knell said, orchestrated everything and that everything stemmed from her help, which is why General Vick 'Ba Di identity was not reported to the military.

However, Jenny's very existence was enough to prevent General Vick from reporting it to the military.

"Master, I just feel that it is necessary for you to know and understand her."

Hera smiled gracefully, possessing both the majesty of an empress and the elegance and beauty of a woman with a captivating figure.

She possessed intelligent emotions and understood Ba Di, believing that Ba Di needed to know the situation, so she informed Ba Di.

Indeed, it turned out just as she had predicted.

After reading it, Ba Di fell into deep thought.

He nodded and said, "There is no device here that can upload consciousness or soul. The Biological Chip on Hui Core Star can create living organisms. As long as we release the information recorded on the Biological Chip, extract Jenny's brain, and use the empty Biological Chip, we can recreate her as a human."

"But with our current technological capabilities, we cannot intercept the wavelengths recorded by the Biological Chip. That would mean telling Brainiac that Earth is here."

Hera's projected body pressed close to Ba Di's, as if this could make Ba Di feel more at ease and relieve him of so many worries.

Since Krypton, there have always been too many choices.

The owner faced too many painful choices.

Ba Di closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said calmly.

"I made my choice a long time ago."

"Attack me, die! I have no need for disloyal slaves!"

Choose!

"Jenny, live or die!"
