Seeing Zod appear, Fiora and everyone else were filled with immense hope.
Even though the enemy before them seemed unimaginably powerful, they still firmly believed Zod would defeat him.
"Hel!"
At this moment, as soon as Zod saw that face, he called out his name from the memories in his mind.
"Zod, it seems you still remember me."
Hel turned around, a terrifying aura emanating from him.
In Zod's eyes, Hel's bioplasmic field was unconsciously distorting the space around him.
This was especially clear to him, having comprehended a portion of the laws of space.
Looking at the person before him, Zod, besides being furious, couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Is Hel's strength really this powerful?"
From his memories, he could clearly determine that it had only been a little over ten years since Hel's experiment went wrong and he disappeared.
Could it be that the super genes in his body are truly so heaven-defying?
But he also couldn't help but wonder, combining his understanding of the character Hel from his previous life, the other party's goal should be the same as his, which is to rebuild Krypton.
Even his obsession was not much less than the original body's.
Zod had previously thought that after New Krypton developed, he would find him, and then extract the secret of super genes from his genes to upgrade and refine the existing Kryptonian genes.
What surprised Zod even more was that, according to the original timeline of this world, Hel shouldn't have had the chance to come to Earth, at least not at this point in time.
Because the current Superman Clark was just a little kid under five years old, Batman might have embarked on the path of seeking a master to learn skills.
As for Aquaman and Flash, there was even less to say; they were still tadpoles in their fathers' scrotums.
"Could it be the butterfly effect, influencing all of this from the shadows?"
At this moment, Zod's mind was racing with thoughts, and he didn't respond to Hel's words for a while.
At this moment, Martian Manhunter's voice, tinged with a hint of fatigue, rang in his mind: "Mr. Zod, you must be careful; that guy's strength is extremely terrifying."
One sentence made Zod cast aside all suspicion, and then he comforted him: "I know, you all take care of yourselves and the others."
"Zod, it seems that compared to the helpless you in another world, you now barely have the right to resist, but killing such a you will make me even happier."
Hearing this, Zod's heart stirred; he caught the key information: another world.
In an instant, his brain raced, combining what the other party had said earlier, he confirmed that the other party was the Hel from the original body's memory, not a visitor from another universe.
And after ruling out this point, everything pointed to another possibility: the other party must have left this universe, and for a considerable period, otherwise he wouldn't possess such strength.
"It seems that the butterfly's wings really did flap somewhere."
So, he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and prepared to extract some information from him: "Hel, did you leave this universe after your accident back then?"
"Hehe! If not for that, how would I have discovered the secret you hid from me!"
"Perhaps Jor-El made me a participant in that navigation experiment because he only saw me as a tool that could be sacrificed at will!"
"Originally, I always treated you as friends, but you were despicable conspirators, betraying me from the very beginning."
"Traitors, despicable people, all deserve to die!"
Zod felt a murderous intent, almost solidified, emanating from him at this moment.
"What did you do in the other world?"
Although he had some faint guesses in his heart, Zod still asked.
"Of course, I killed you all and personally destroyed that filthy civilization."
After Hel finished speaking, his face twisted into a ferocious expression, then he teleported in front of Zod and threw a powerful punch.
The extreme power and speed caused ripples in the void wherever his fist wind passed.
However, Zod, who was constantly on guard against him, saw his movements clearly, raised a palm, and pressed it onto his fist, firmly catching it.
"Boom!"
But even so, the terrifying airwave generated by the collision of fist and palm still swept outwards like a tsunami.
The New Krypton capital, which was just beginning construction, had already been ravaged once by Hel, and now it was once again devastated.
Zod understood that the battle could not take place on New Krypton, so a dimensional wall appeared, instantly teleporting both of them to Mars.
Then Zod grabbed his fist and flung him away.
"Hahahaha, Zod, it seems you care about them very much. Don't struggle; after I kill you, I will still destroy them along with that planet!"
Seeing Zod's obviously purposeful action, Hel naturally understood his plan.
Even though he had just taken a punch from Zod, Hel didn't take Zod's strength seriously, because he was just testing him.
Nearly thirty years in another universe allowed him to deeply understand how terrifying his own talent was.
Earlier, when fighting Fiora and the others, he was completely toying with his prey, able to crush them at any time.
Even if Zod was a bit stronger than them, it only gave him a tiny bit of surprise, and he didn't think Zod truly had the qualifications to be his opponent.
"Ding! Detecting a powerful enemy approaching. Battle or death, the host has no other choice. Please kill the invading enemy. Reward: Roulette Draw +2!"
"Originally, I wanted to subdue you, but the moment you laid hands on my New Krypton, there was no need for that. A dead you is still perfect experimental material."
Even without the system prompt, Zod had already sentenced Hel to death in his heart.
He calmly uttered this sentence at this moment, but this undoubtedly made Hel even more furious.
Because Hel clearly understood Krypton's tragic and ridiculous history of clone wars; clones like them were born with the initial purpose of being used as consumables for dangerous experiments.
Hel clenched his fists, and endless high-energy radiation surged towards him, then was absorbed into his body.
His bare upper body muscles instantly swelled, and destructive, terrifying power brewed within them.
"All of you deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
His figure instantly vanished, then reappeared behind Zod, his destructive fist heading straight for Zod's head.
Zod showed no fear, meeting the punch with his own.
For him, this was an unprecedentedly powerful opponent, enough to allow him a thoroughly exhilarating battle!
One must know that he cultivated the Heaven-Shrouding Law, a cultivation method specifically created to address the imperfections of the immortal path.
Although cultivators' lifespans might not compare to some worlds with complete immortal paths, cultivators of this method might have significantly greater pure combat power at various realms.
After all, in a world where cultivation is difficult and achieving enlightenment is even harder, the core of cultivation is only one word: "contend"!
Contend with heaven, contend with earth, contend with peerless prodigies and heroes, and also contend with ancient powerhouses sealed in divine sources, awaiting the opportunity for enlightenment in later generations.
In such an era of great contention, only with sufficiently large fists, sufficiently strong combat power, and sufficiently deep foundations can one break through the siege of the Imperial Road and become an invincible Great Emperor of the current age.
Therefore, cultivators in this world would also try every means to accumulate combat power, and the Sun Saint Emperor, one of the two great emperors of the Primordial Human Race, was an outstanding example among them.
He, too, ascended to emperorship by treading on the corpses of ten thousand race prodigies, and the Sun True Scripture he created was itself an invincible path.
Although Zod had already cultivated to the Sendai realm, he had never encountered a worthy opponent.
This time, he could finally fully unleash his power and fight without worrying about the opponent's life or death!
"Boom!"
The two fists collided, and the terrifying energy instantly created a destructive domain within a several-thousand-meter radius around them.
At this moment, even a hard substance like diamond would be instantly pulverized if it entered this domain.
Subsequently, both figures retreated violently backward.
