When Zod heard that indifferent voice, his heart trembled violently.
An invisible pressure seemed to emanate from his bloodline or the depths of his soul, making even this iron-blooded Kryptonian commander feel an urge to kneel and submit.
His body's instinct frantically told him to immediately kneel and offer his complete loyalty to the owner of that voice.
His subordinates around him had already knelt, and except for Fiora, who resisted slightly, everyone else was pressed to the ground by the oppressive force, completely unable to move.
However, Zod, with his strong willpower, managed to turn around with great difficulty.
Upon seeing Kytheron's appearance, his eyes suddenly narrowed again, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
As the supreme commander of the Kryptonian army, Zod naturally knew the ancient myths and legends of Krypton.
The image of every Lord God was clearly recorded in Krypton's sealed history; there had never been a God resembling a giant dragon like Kytheron.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating our Kryptonian God!"
Zod spoke these words slowly, one by one, against the pressure.
"Zod, how dare you question our great Lord God."
Quantum Superman and Clark roared at Zod simultaneously, as if they would eliminate him if he uttered another word.
At this moment, Lunar God and Beauty God, who had been ordered to monitor every move of Kytheron, couldn't help but inwardly praise Zod after hearing his words.
They wished they could cheer loudly for him, "That's right, this is a false god; only we are the true Kryptonian Gods."
"It's alright, I forgive his rudeness. For a mere inferior high-level gene possessor to withstand my pressure for this long is already quite impressive!"
Kytheron, on the other hand, admired Zod. His willpower as a Kryptonian commander was beyond doubt!
"Impersonating? Even Rao standing before me wouldn't dare deny my divine authority. Besides, didn't your genetic instinct tell you my identity?"
"Consider it a chance for you!"
Kytheron said lazily to Zod, merely raising his claw slightly, and a terrifying willpower had already acted upon Zod's genetic system.
Instantly, Zod's genetic system began to tremble violently, as if on the verge of collapse. In a flash, immense pain struck him.
However, even such pain couldn't compare to the numbness brought by the shattering of his pride, because his advanced genes, which he had always been so proud of, seemed to be utterly insignificant in the opponent's eyes.
One must know that even before Krypton's destruction, there were only a handful of high-level gene possessors on the entire Krypton, and only he was in the combat sequence. The rest were merely Jor-El and that group of corrupt Elders.
For beings like them, whose life paths were determined before birth, advanced genes made him the commander of Krypton.
And now, everything he possessed and everything he had lost seemed to crumble under that one sentence!
Even in Kytheron's words, the advanced genes he possessed were not truly advanced genes.
Suddenly, the pain stopped, replaced by an incredibly comfortable sensation.
In an instant, Zod felt as if his body had been cleansed, radiating new vitality, and his muscles and bones became even tougher.
Without exposure to the Yellow Sun, a Kryptonian's lifespan is roughly between three hundred and five hundred years, and he had been in the position of Kryptonian commander for nearly four hundred years!
Even though possessing advanced genes prevented his combat power from being weakened, the passage of life could still be felt.
But now, all of that seemed to have left him. His entire physique was even more powerful than in his prime.
"This! You enhanced my genes?"
Zod looked at his hands in disbelief, unable to resist clenching his fists, feeling an even more formidable sense of power.
"It's not really an enhancement; it's just correcting the parts of your genes that were deliberately degraded. You can now barely be considered to have true advanced genes!"
Hearing Kytheron say this, Zod immediately thought of those corrupt Kryptonian Elders.
Only those guys could have done something as foolish as deliberately degrading the genes of their own people!
However, these thoughts merely flashed through his mind. Immediately, he turned all his attention to Kytheron before him.
At this moment, Zod completely believed that Kytheron was the Kryptonian God.
This proud general knelt on one knee before Kytheron, firmly stating, "Great Lord God, I pray that you will lead us to rebuild Krypton and restore its past glory. I am willing to become your most loyal blade!"
"Krypton's past cannot be considered glorious. Your true talents have not yet been unearthed!"
"Rise for now! To become my blade, you are not yet qualified. My enemies are beings above Gods, and to contend with them, you must at least be a super gene possessor!"
Kytheron struck Zod without mercy.
However, having now recognized Kytheron as the true Kryptonian God, he only felt immense shame at these words.
"I don't even qualify to fight for the Lord God!"
This was Zod's only thought at the moment.
"Lord God, where should our path lead from now on?"
Zod had originally planned to use the planetary terraformer to transform Earth into an environment suitable for Kryptonians after finding the Life Codex on Clark, making Earth the new Krypton.
However, Kytheron's appearance made him abandon this plan, as Clark seemed to be more trusted by Kytheron.
And Clark, having grown up on Earth, would certainly not stand by and watch such a thing happen. Therefore, Zod was very smart not to mention that plan.
"You all will temporarily stay on Earth with Clark, and let the Yellow Sun activate your true talents.
"I still need some time. During this period, I will dispatch someone to assist you in upgrading your existing genetic system. The establishment point of the new Krypton will be within the Domain of the Gods!"
As Kytheron said this, his gaze pierced through the endless void, falling upon Lunar God and Beauty God, who were monitoring him.
Immediately, he extracted a super scientist template from his Ultimate Life Codex and directly placed it on the researcher aboard Zod's spaceship. Instantly, endless knowledge filled his brain.
"He wants to establish a new Krypton within the Domain of the Gods. Rao will not allow such a thing to happen."
Lunar God and Beauty God both showed disdain after hearing this.
In a place unknown to Kytheron, Rao and God of Wisdom had also resurrected a mad scientist from a sealed era.
"Welcome back, Portland!"
