The moment Diana appeared in the sky, she was immediately captured by the satellites above!
Although she had lived in human society for many years and rarely disguised herself, very few people knew her true identity.
After all, this was not yet the era of highly developed internet information. Even if someone had seen her in her battle suit, it's unlikely they would have connected her to a museum researcher.
"Who is she? What does she want to do?"
"Sir, based on her flight path, it appears her target is that unknown glowing humanoid."
"She's heading for that guy. Is she acquainted with that figure, or is there some special connection between them?"
Although Zod's appearance was still unclear, Diana's image, transmitted by the satellites, was perfectly distinct.
"Find out everything about her immediately. Get all her information."
As Diana flew to a spot not far from Zod, her vision finally pierced through the dazzling light, allowing her to see the figure within.
She murmured in disbelief, "Is that… Mr. Zod?"
Instantly, she seemed to recall something: "Could it be that Mr. Zod also made a wish to the wishing crystal?"
Just as she was about to get closer, the light emanating from Zod suddenly began to dissipate.
This was because Zod had now completely integrated the Sunlight's genetic engine, and his mind had, in the first instance, entered his dark-plane operating system.
All around him was like an boundless starry sky, with stars blooming with light, and he stood naked in the void.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded: "Hello, Sunlight. Nice to meet you. I am your super gene system. I am currently registering your information. Activation complete. You can officially begin operations!"
"Wait a moment, what do I operate, and how do I operate it?"
Although Zod was somewhat prepared, he was still completely bewildered.
Even though he had integrated the god-making gene of the Sunlight, there was no related information inheritance.
"Transmitting dark-plane system operation information to you."
The next moment, streams of information began to transmit into Zod's brain.
At this point, with a thought, a surge of dark energy enveloped his body, then quickly coalesced into a black battle suit on him.
"Open the operation panel!"
Immediately, he raised his palm slightly, and a golden platform, engraved with a sun pattern, instantly appeared beneath his feet.
Then, that platform began to rapidly transform and expand, and a golden light rose from beneath Zod's feet.
"Immediately target my body and retrieve my current genetic status!"
"Analyzing and retrieving. According to the analysis, the current target's genetic status is stable. The Sunlight gene sequence has been perfectly recombined and integrated with another powerful gene sequence, meeting the upgrade conditions. Do you wish to upgrade the gene system immediately?"
Zod hadn't expected to encounter a system upgrade so soon after just "booting up." He didn't hesitate at all and immediately said, "Upgrade immediately!"
"Gene system upgrading. Dark-plane will be shutting down soon."
As the gene system upgraded, Zod also withdrew his mind.
At this moment, looking at the sun before him again, an indescribable feeling emerged in his heart; he seemed to have formed some kind of resonance with it.
With a wave of his hand, a brilliant beam of light immediately shot out from the sun and landed on him, and the Kryptonian super genes within his body immediately began to greedily devour this energy.
"Is this the Sunlight?"
Simply by instinct, he could mobilize solar energy. After a period of dedicated development, he would be able to use all the abilities of the Sunlight.
Then, he finally noticed Diana not far away.
Realizing it belatedly, he could roughly guess that his recent fusion of two super genes had caused some commotion.
However, he had no idea what kind of panic he had just caused in human society.
He greeted her warmly, "Diana, it seems you've made your choice!"
Diana did not reply, but flew closer and spoke in a serious tone: "Mr. Zod, did you also make a wish?"
"A wish? I did make a wish to that crystal before I got it, but unfortunately, it couldn't grant my wish and chose to go dormant."
This made Diana slightly stunned, somewhat confused.
However, she still confirmed with Zod: "So, the commotion just now wasn't caused by you using the wishing crystal, was it?"
"Of course not. Although that crystal is useful to me, it's not for granting wishes."
Hearing this, Diana reluctantly relaxed. She still trusted Zod.
However, at this moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Zod carried a hint of battle intent.
From their very first meeting, she knew that Zod was incredibly strong, yet for several years, she hadn't had a chance to truly fight him.
After all, he spent most of his time hanging in the sky, reportedly engaged in some kind of cultivation.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Zod once again just now had reawakened the warlike side of her bloodline.
Additionally, having just lost her beloved again, she now craved a satisfying battle to release the suppressed pain in her heart.
Seeing Zod now, she naturally conceived the idea of challenging him, and immediately spoke it aloud: "Mr. Zod, I wish to challenge you. I wonder if you would accept?"
Hearing this, Zod instinctively wanted to refuse, because he still wanted to properly test the abilities of the Sunlight first, and didn't have time to play house with her.
That's right, with his current strength, if he were to truly spar with Diana, it would truly be no different from playing house.
After all, in these past few years, when Leto was collecting information about her divine lightning, he also meticulously recorded all the combat data from her battles with Fiora and conducted a comprehensive analysis.
With her strength, which was only slightly stronger than Fiora's, if it were a fight to the death, Zod was confident he could completely incapacitate her, or even kill her, within a few rounds.
But just then, the system's notification sound rang in his mind:
"Ding! Detected that the host is being challenged by a demigod warrior with powerful divine bloodline. Defeat her, and receive a +1 reward for the roulette draw!"
"What a pity, it only triggered one option, but one draw chance is enough!"
"Since you have this idea, I'll grant you this one time. Come with me!"
With that, Zod instantly flew towards an uninhabited area on Earth.
The brief standoff between them was fully captured by the satellites above, and clearer images of Zod's figure and appearance were transmitted back to ground control centers in various countries.
His appearance had barely changed from four years ago, so a simple electronic information analysis and comparison quickly led to the judgment that they were the same person.
Shock and disbelief filled everyone's hearts; they simply couldn't imagine a humanoid creature whose internal energy levels increased tens of billions or hundreds of billions of times faster than their speed of building nuclear bombs.
"Oh no, they're coming towards Earth?"
Subsequently, Zod and their movement towards Earth immediately caused a wave of panic among all parties.
