With just one move, Zod immediately boosted the morale of all the Kryptonian warriors behind him. Then, one by one, they flew with high battle intent towards the nearest Green Lanterns, engaging in a fierce melee.
In reality, with Zod's current strength, he could have easily annihilated these Green Lanterns by himself.
But what he wanted was a group of warriors who could stand with him, not a flock of sheep who could only be sheltered behind him.
Therefore, he did not go all out, nor did he even use the domain divine ability inherent in the Sun True Scripture.
He wanted these Green Lanterns to be the first whetstone after the birth of New Krypton.
However, despite thinking this, he still tried his best to attract the attention of the vast majority of Green Lanterns to prevent others from being under too much pressure.
As he willed it, spatial nodes appeared one by one, and his body instantly vanished, only to reappear quickly.
However, where he reappeared was beside those Green Lanterns, striking out with golden fists that resembled the radiance of the sun.
The protective shields hastily erected by these Green Lanterns against Zod's attacks were like bubbles, shattering upon impact, instantly turning their bodies into a bloody mist.
Sensing the host's death, the green lantern ring prepared to escape according to its programmed sequence to continue searching for a suitable successor.
"Hmph! Trying to leave? All of you, stay!"
Seeing this, Zod grabbed with his large hand, and the void began to ripple like water. Then, the green lantern rings that were trying to fly away were caught in his hand.
Immediately, a series of voices suddenly echoed in his mind: "Intelligent life locked, from Krypton..."
"Crack!"
Before the voice could finish, Zod exerted a little force, and the green lantern ring instantly shattered completely.
Although Martian Manhunter understood the Green Lantern Corps' mission to uphold justice in the universe, the current situation was not the time to debate right and wrong. Only after the battle subsided could everything be judged.
He was now considered a member of Krypton, so he didn't think of avoiding battle and directly confronted Sinestro.
On the other side, Fiora directly targeted Abin Sur. She recognized him as the Green Lantern Zod fought four years ago.
As Zod's most loyal follower, this time, she wanted to use him to test her strength, so she charged straight at him.
Abin Sur originally intended to hold back Zod, but he didn't expect to be targeted first and had to deal with the Kryptonian female warrior in front of him.
He wanted to end the battle quickly, but he found that Fiora in front of him was no weaker than Zod four years ago; in fact, she was even stronger in terms of combat awareness and experience.
All the conventional attacks he materialized with his willpower were directly shattered by Fiora's fists, simple, brutal, and without any hesitation.
Moreover, his combat intentions seemed to be completely seen through by her.
"Is this the growth rate of Kryptonians?"
Abin Sur was secretly shocked, but he had no idea how Fiora had trained these past few years.
Since their first battle with Diana, the two of them had fought from time to time, which made them both more familiar with fighting superhumans.
And to overcome her body's weak resistance to divine power, Fiora basically never wore armor, completely relying on her own body to endure Diana's divine lightning.
Although this method was the most primitive, its effect was also the most significant.
Initially, when her body was struck by divine lightning, she would be injured by even a graze. At this point, she would immediately use energy crystals to heal her injuries and then endure the lightning again.
Gradually, her body began to develop resistance to divine power, causing her physical strength to skyrocket. Later, if Diana didn't use her full power, she couldn't inflict any substantial damage on Fiora.
Therefore, this also stimulated Diana to continuously tap into the potential of her Divine King bloodline, and her strength was also rapidly increasing.
At this moment, Abin Sur's peripheral vision also caught sight of the Green Lanterns and green lantern rings that Zod had obliterated, and a feeling of grief and indignation surged within him.
He was the temporary leader of this operation designated by the Guardians, and he understood that they could not continue like this. So, he immediately issued an order to everyone through his green lantern ring:
"Directive Release, permission to use lethal force!"
After speaking, he immediately materialized a massive cloud of kryptonite smoke, completely enveloping Fiora.
And upon hearing his command, all the Green Lanterns immediately began to materialize various kryptonite weapons based on the detailed information about kryptonite in their green lantern rings.
The dozens of Green Lanterns confronting Zod even joined forces directly and collectively materialized a massive kryptonite mountain that pressed down towards Zod.
The combined willpower of dozens of people gave this kryptonite mountain not only the weight of a true mountain but also the deadly radiation of kryptonite.
Unfortunately, if it had been before, kryptonite might have still had some effect on Zod.
But after he used the blood origin crystal to elevate his genetic level, even without circulating his magic power, kryptonite was now no different from ordinary stones to him.
Even such a massive kryptonite mountain only made him slightly uncomfortable, but it had almost no impact on his combat power.
Zod raised his hand and unleashed a divine ability, Great Sun Across the Sky, which erupted like a massive sun, directly shattering the enormous kryptonite mountain.
The next moment, his figure streaked across the deep universe in a golden light. Instantly, those dozens of Green Lanterns transformed into scattered golden star-rain, dispersing into the cosmic void.
Similarly, after their hosts died, those green lantern rings immediately scattered, but almost instantly, they collided with Zod's dimensional wall.
Then, one by one, the green lantern rings fell into his hand.
A series of Green Lantern welcome messages echoed in his mind again, which made Zod feel a surge of annoyance.
Circulating his magic power, a blazing Sun True Fire ignited in his palm. In a few breaths, the green lantern rings turned into ashes and dissipated into the cosmic void.
If it had been before, he might have been interested in these green lantern rings, but as his own strength increased, especially his cultivation, the green lantern rings were merely so-so in his eyes.
However, if he could directly comprehend the Emotional Spectrum in the future, then it might pique his interest.
Facing such a dominant Zod, the originally firm wills of some Green Lanterns gradually began to crumble, and fear emerged.
This directly caused the power of the green lantern rings in their hands to weaken, and the green lantern ring energy also began to become unstable.
And the more this happened, the greater their fear became. Finally, when the fear in their hearts reached a limit, the light on their green lantern rings completely dimmed.
"Fear my light, no! No!"
They desperately cried out in their hearts, wanting the green lantern rings to light up again, but it was all in vain.
Most of these Lanterns were just ordinary life forms in the universe before being chosen by the green lantern rings. Once they lost the protection of the green lantern rings, they simply had no ability to survive in the universe.
The harsh cosmic environment immediately made them feel excruciating pain, and they could only watch death approach little by little. However, this painful sensation would last for one or two minutes.
In their eyes, however, it felt as long as one or two centuries.
Although the two sides were currently in opposition, Zod knew very well that they were merely tools in the hands of those Little Blue Men.
His extraordinary vision, combined with powerful psychic abilities, allowed Zod to clearly perceive the pain they were currently enduring.
Even though Zod killed them without any mercy, he was not some pervert who found pleasure in watching others suffer.
"Then I'll send you on your way!"
Zod raised his hand and slammed it down on them with a slap, and those few Green Lanterns were instantly crushed into cosmic dust.
At this moment, the Green Lanterns fighting other Kryptonian warriors also discovered a terrifying fact: the fatal flaw of Kryptonians that the Guardians spoke of seemed to be completely ineffective!
"No wonder he was so decisive in going to war with us. It turns out they had already found a way to overcome their weaknesses."
Abin Sur looked at the almost one-sided situation, his heart filled with bitterness.
It was in that instant when his willpower wavered that Fiora seized the opportunity, instantly closing in and smashing her fist onto the green lantern ring on his right hand.
Immediately, a crack appeared on the green lantern ring.
