46: Hope is shattered, Mad Zod

Metropolis!

At this moment, Zod, after shedding the armor that bound him, finally activated the Kryptonian’s unique abilities.

He bathed in the light of the young sun outside Earth, feeling the power within him gradually increase.

His gaze towards Li An no longer held any trace of apprehension.

"Human, you cannot possibly comprehend the power I now possess."

At this moment, Zod’s face was full of majesty, but upon seeing Li An’s continued lack of expression, a surge of anger immediately welled up in his heart.

He believed that Li An still had no idea how powerful he truly was.

Therefore, a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body, then surged in all directions.

Of course!

As the person closest to Zod, Li An naturally bore the brunt of it.

It could be said that most of the pressure was almost entirely on Li An.

Just as Zod expected Li An to struggle to resist, a scene he never anticipated occurred.

The seemingly powerful pressure in Zod’s eyes, when it surged towards Li An, merely swept past him like a gentle breeze, only causing his clothes to flutter wildly.

However, Li An, his primary target, did not retreat a single step!

"How is this possible!!!"

At this moment, Zod was completely stunned!

He seemed not to have reacted, staring blankly at Li An.

"Nothing is impossible."

"Zod, your ideas are too extreme; you should not be alive."

At this moment, the smile had long vanished from Li An’s face.

As he spoke, the energy within him was subtly and gradually shifting, but Zod, still astonished by Li An’s nonchalant demeanor, did not notice it at all.

"What have I done wrong?"

"I just want to rebuild Krypton; what have I done wrong?"

At this moment, Zod’s mental state was clearly starting to break down, and he roared loudly at Li An.

"Stubborn and unyielding.

Krypton is your homeland; is Earth not the homeland of humanity?"

"To turn someone else's homeland into ruins, only to rebuild your own home upon those ruins."

"Where do you place the lives on Earth?"

Li An was clearly somewhat angered.

Zod’s words were obviously incredibly selfish.

At this moment, wisps of crimson gas began to seep from his body, drifting around him.

"Hehehe, isn't this just the fate of the weak?"

"To be able to serve as nourishment for a second Krypton, it is also an honor for Earth and all life."

"After all, Krypton is a high-level civilization; to be reborn on Earth, a low-level civilization, is already an immense fortune for Earth."

At this moment, Zod’s emotions had clearly become frenzied.

Judging from his words, he was no different from a demon.

In his heart, he actually regarded billions of lives as ants and even interpreted the destruction of Earth as Earth’s honor.

Unreasonable!

Upon hearing Zod’s remarks, Li An’s eyes turned completely cold.

At this point, he finally decided to get serious.

Previously, he had been too naive, still harboring a trace of illusion, believing that even if Zod wanted to terraform Earth into a second Krypton, he should still have a sliver of humanity left in his heart.

However, from Zod’s current words, Li An had realized that he was too naive.

This villain might still possess humanity, but this sliver of humanity was only directed towards Kryptonians.

For Earth humans or life, the only thing Zod would do was to exterminate them!

Boom!

Rumble!!!

However, at this moment, as Li An and Zod were still confronting each other, a sudden loud noise came from the sky, followed by deafening roars.

And as Li An and Zod were momentarily stunned, an unimaginable suction force appeared, pulling them and the Phantom Spaceship, which was broken in two, towards the sky.

"This is..."

At this moment, Li An, due to his confrontation with Zod, was completely unaware of how far the plot had progressed, and he was momentarily dazed, but he quickly reacted.

He suddenly remembered that in the plot, when Superman completely destroyed the Void Engine, the military seemed to have used the ship Superman arrived on Earth in to crash into the Void Engine, thereby briefly forming a black hole.

When that black hole appeared, it directly sucked in all Kryptonians except Zod.

And it was also because of this scene that Zod completely broke down, wanting to kill Clark and utterly destroy Earth.

"Hahahahaha."

"It seems your hope has been dashed.

Your kin, Kal-El, has made the most correct choice."

At this moment, both Li An and Zod were clinging tightly to nearby objects, attempting to steady themselves, but despite this, both were still slowly being pulled upwards towards the sky.

However, Li An showed no panic at all, because he knew that the appearance of the black hole was only momentary.

As long as he could endure that instant, he would be fine.

So, he immediately looked at Zod, who was not far away, and began to mock him.

Looking at Li An’s mocking expression, Zod’s face suddenly changed for no reason, becoming panicked, so he roared at Li An.

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

"Perhaps you should go outside and look."

At this moment, Li An let out a hearty laugh.

With his power, escaping the black hole’s devourment would naturally be impossible, but don’t forget that this was a man-made black hole, and it would only appear for an instant.

At this point, Li An could already feel the suction from the sky weakening, so he directly let go of his grip, and with a thrust of his arms, he controlled his body to rush outwards.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Zod naturally refused to be outdone.

At this moment, having already developed his solar energy, his power was constantly growing stronger, albeit slowly, but it was genuinely increasing!

So Zod naturally refused to show weakness.

When he saw Li An rushing outwards, he immediately followed suit.

Rumble~

The next second, just as Li An and Zod successively flew out of the destroyed Phantom Spaceship, the suction from the sky suddenly ceased.

Immediately, countless objects that had been sucked into the air began to fall to the ground.

This scene was both spectacular and tragic, because it was not only objects that were sucked into the air, but also humans and various creatures.

For a time, screams were incessant, but they quickly subsided into silence, with only pools of blood and flesh on the ground, revealing the tragic situation.

"Hmm?!"

"This is..."

Li An, who had just flown out, didn't feel much at first, but Zod, who flew out right after him, was stunned in place.

He stared wide-eyed at the sky.

The Void Engine that had been suspended high in the sky was now gone, and the gradually calming movements around them all indicated that his second Krypton plan had failed.

"No!!!"

Upon seeing everything before his eyes, Zod immediately realized that his plan had failed, but unwilling to accept it, he uncontrollably let out a furious roar.
