After obtaining the mother box, Zod was not in a hurry to return to Krypton.
Instead, he used his spatial abilities to enter a interlayer between reality and the special space where the Olympus gods resided.
He had discovered this on his previous visit to the Olympus temple, and he wanted to make some special attempts here.
Previously, he had acquired a fragment of the Allspark from a roulette draw, a treasure that could bestow life and soul upon mechanical constructs.
Originally, he had planned to use this Allspark fragment on the green lantern ring left behind after Abin Sur's death.
After all, although the green lantern ring appeared to be just a small ring, it was actually a product of the Guardians' highly advanced technological crystallization.
Although Zod looked down on some of the Guardians' actions, he could not deny the knowledge and wisdom possessed by this ancient race.
If the Lantern itself possessed life and soul, then could Zod become a special Lantern like the sentient planet Mogo?
If it had potential for development, Zod had even considered, after conquering Oa in the future, seizing the Green Lantern Central Power Battery to initiate a man-made god-creation plan.
However, after obtaining the mother box, Zod had a new idea.
Similarly, although the mother box appeared to be just a box, it was essentially a divine artifact created by the New Gods of Apokolips, combining divine power with cutting-edge technology.
Compared to the mass-produced green lantern ring, the mother box used more advanced materials and possessed even greater power.
Therefore, he thought that instead of wasting the only Allspark fragment on the green lantern ring, he might as well try to bestow it upon the mother box.
However, since this thing was from Apokolips, Zod was not sure if there would be any unforeseen circumstances when he bestowed life and soul upon it.
So, he chose to make the attempt in this special spatial interlayer.
Immediately, he took out both the mother box and the Allspark fragment.
Just as he was about to bestow it upon the mother box, Zod suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"Since the Allspark fragment bestows life and soul upon mechanical bodies, perhaps I can imprint my Sun God Consciousness into the Allspark fragment."
Thinking of this, he immediately took action, and the Sun God Consciousness from his brow instantly formed a series of hand seals, which then transformed into a golden rune and imprinted itself on the Allspark fragment.
In an instant, countless fragments of information suddenly flashed through Zod's mind.
Only then did he realize a detail he had overlooked: in the movie, when Sam acquired a small piece of the Allspark fragment, he also received a large amount of information from Cybertron just by touching it with his hand.
But he was different; he possessed a biological force field, so while it seemed like he was holding the Allspark fragment with his hand, there was actually a layer of force field separating him from it.
Now that he had imprinted his Sun God Consciousness on this fragment, this information was finally received by him.
However, these chaotic information fragments could not be deciphered and analyzed in a short time, but he thought they should be related to the origin of the Allspark.
If the mother box could be successfully transformed, and he directly handed over this information to it, he believed it would understand this information.
Thinking of this, Zod no longer hesitated, holding the Allspark fragment and pressing it directly onto the mother box.
The moment the two touched, the fragment transformed into a blue flame and merged into the mother box.
Immediately after, the originally calm mother box began to vibrate violently, as if a long-dormant power was about to erupt.
The surrounding void space began to show cracks, like shattering glass.
Seeing this, Zod's face showed not surprise, but joy; the power of the mother box did not disappoint him.
The next moment, the entire void he had torn open completely shattered, and the mother box also began its first transformation.
With the continuous changes of various mechanical parts, the mother box quickly transformed into a humanoid mechanical body somewhat similar to Zod, except its height was less than one meter.
At this time, Zod discovered that the color of his eyes was neither the blue that symbolized peace and safety for Autobot Transformers,
Nor was it the red that symbolized passion and danger for Decepticons, but a brilliant golden color.
Even the symbol that appeared on his chest was not the head portrait that distinguished the two factions of robots, but also a golden sun.
Similarly, he could also feel a special connection between himself and the mechanical body in front of him, which came from the Sun God Consciousness he had imprinted.
"It seems this step was correct!"
While Zod was carefully examining the robot, he did not expect it to call out to him: "Father!"
In an instant, only one thought flashed through Zod's mind: "I've become a father!"
Seeing Zod's lack of reaction, the little robot seemed a bit puzzled, looking at his own body.
However, Zod immediately accepted this fact.
The transformation of the mother box did not have the unforeseen changes he feared, and there were even unexpected pleasant surprises.
So Zod tentatively asked, "Why do you call me Father?"
"You bestowed life and soul upon me, and in my database, it seems that living beings generally respectfully address their creators as Father?"
The little robot's voice had no mechanical coldness, and its tone was no different from a normal human.
Hearing this, Zod reached out and touched his head: "Well said, I am your Father. From now on, you shall be called Hope Zod. You are the Child of Hope of New Krypton."
"Yes, Father!"
Having been given a name by Zod, the little robot—no, now he should be called Hope—seemed very happy, and his tone revealed a hint of excitement.
Next, Zod began to communicate with Hope about the abilities he possessed.
As Zod had expected, all the knowledge stored in the original mother box and all the abilities it possessed were now his, and his mechanical body even contained the divine power of the New Gods.
After being catalyzed and fused by the Allspark fragment, this divine power had truly become a force under his control.
In other words, Hope is now, like Diana, a genuine demigod.
Moreover, Diana's strength is probably not as strong as the Hope in front of him.
Even in terms of physical strength alone, Zod's current body is not as tough as his.
After all, Hope was transformed from a mother box, and its inherent indestructibility had not changed in the slightest. Coupled with various abilities, Zod felt that he might not be able to easily subdue him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart for the smooth transformation.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
Saying this, Zod took Hope's hand and raised his hand to summon a dimensional wall.
The next moment, the two appeared on New Krypton.
Zod instantly gathered everyone by telepathic transmission.
At this moment, they all stared at Hope with curiosity, because his mechanical body was too eye-catching!
"General, are there any special orders?"
Although Fiora was also curious about Hope's identity, she only glanced at him, then all her attention returned to Zod.
"I have gathered you here to introduce a new compatriot to you. His name is Hope Zod, he is my child, and from now on, he is also a member of New Krypton."
Hearing that his name contained the family surname Zod, all the Kryptonians' eyes immediately became fervent when they looked at Hope, even though he appeared to be a robot.
Martian Manhunter, on the other hand, looked at him thoughtfully, always feeling a familiar sensation about Hope.
At this moment, Hope stepped forward and said, "Hello everyone, I am Hope. Father bestowed life and soul upon me. I am very happy to live with you all from now on."
In one sentence, he introduced his origin and his relationship with Zod, and at the same time expressed friendliness.
Instantly, everyone cheered.
