Bang!
Zod's body slammed heavily into a nearby machine, instantly shattering it.
Electrical sparks flickered, and after the unknown metal casing shattered, it immediately melted into liquid.
With metal liquid splattered on his armor, a trace of blood spilled from Zod's mouth, making him look extremely disheveled.
Just as he was about to stand up, Eric grabbed a Kryptonian and threw him towards Zod.
With a bang!
General Zod and the Kryptonian soldier tumbled across the ground, rolling backward.
"Main control room!"
Seeing that her side couldn't stop Eric at all, Fiora endured the pain and shouted at the other Kryptonian soldiers.
Some Kryptonian soldiers continued to attack Eric, while others moved towards the main control room.
"Hooah!"
Rika, who was playing her part to the fullest, also charged towards Eric.
However, Eric grabbed her by the neck and threw her backward.
Although she directly knocked people over, since Eric didn't use much force, Rika wasn't seriously injured.
Zzzzt!
The firearms in the hands of the Kryptonian soldiers finally showed their power, firing at Eric.
Silver, lightning-like beams shot from the muzzles, aiming at Eric.
However, Eric dodged them.
Taking advantage of Eric's dodge, Fiora roared, grabbed Eric's cape, and threw him backward.
But Eric, whose strength surpassed hers, quickly spun in mid-air.
Using his forward momentum, he directly charged at Fiora, grabbed her by the neck, and used her body to block the beams firing at him.
The beam shockwave from the firearm slammed into Fiora.
"Ugh!"
Fiora's face showed a look of pain, and she let out a muffled groan.
Although her armor blocked most of the damage, the numbing and stinging sensation still passed through the armor into her body.
General Zod, struggling to stand up inside the spaceship, now had his forehead completely covered in blood.
"Stop! Are you going to destroy the last hope of your people? Eric Kent!"
Ignoring the blood on his forehead, General Zod roared at Eric, "You cannot do this! We are of the same race!"
Eric, still holding Fiora by the neck, gave General Zod a cold glance. →
Bang!
He forcefully flung Fiora against the spaceship's bulkhead.
Fiora, her back hitting the bulkhead, showed an expression of extreme pain, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly slid down the bulkhead.
A Kryptonian soldier who tried to ambush him from behind was met by a blank-faced Eric, who grabbed his head with a backhand.
Heat Vision instantly shot from Eric's eyes, hitting the opponent's head and directly cracking the transparent shield covering it.
"No!"
Seeing Eric about to use Heat Vision to finish off his subordinate, Zod let out a shout and quickly rushed towards Eric.
As a result, both of them were blasted away by Eric's Heat Vision.
The Kryptonian soldier, whose protective shield had been shattered by Eric's Heat Vision, slammed heavily into the spaceship's transparent glass bulkhead.
His head's protective shield was completely shattered, and his body immediately lost all signs of life.
Zzzzt!
Eric's Heat Vision continued to fire without stopping, aiming at the person who was targeting him with a firearm, and instantly blasted him away.
The undiminished Heat Vision not only pierced through the Kryptonian soldier's armor but also created a long crack in the spaceship's bulkhead.
The air pressure inside the spaceship immediately changed, and a strong wind instantly swept through the entire interior of the spaceship.
General Zod, ignoring the pain in his body, lay on the ground and shouted to his subordinates: "Bottom hatch!"
Boom!
The hatch beneath Eric's feet immediately shattered, and at the same time, Fiora, who had been lying motionless on the ground, leaped forward.
The Kryptonian sub-commander, unleashing her full potential, transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward to embrace Eric.
The armor surrounding her body immediately transformed into a movable black liquid, covering Eric's body and immobilizing him.
A huge suction force directly emanated from outside the hatch.
Eric, under the combined effect of Fiora and the spaceship's environment, was directly sucked out.
The armor constrained his body, and the spaceship separated into an isolation chamber, trapping Eric and flying him into space.
"Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!"
Fiora, her face covered in blood, let out a long sigh of relief as she saw Eric leave the spaceship.
Shedding her full armor, she, now in casual clothes, wiped the blood from her face and stood up, panting as she said to Rika: "Immediately initiate chamber isolation repair!"
"Understood!"
Rika, still stunned by Eric being carried away by the spaceship's isolation chamber, heard Fiora's command, nodded, and quickly walked towards the main cabin.
Inside the spaceship, Kryptonians lay everywhere, some having lost their lives, others still groaning.
Blood and damaged spaceship materials mixed together, filling the air with a pungent and uncomfortable odor.
General Zod, barely able to stand, looked at the tragic scene Eric had caused, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Eric Kent!"
Leaning against the wall, General Zod let out an unwilling roar.
"The isolation ship won't hold him for long; he'll break free in a day at most!"
Fiora felt slightly dizzy at this moment, but her strong willpower made her desperately endure it.
"I... I never expected his power to be so immense!"
Fiora looked in shock at her heavily wounded and dead compatriots.
"I can see it!"
General Zod, his eyes filled with hatred, said bitterly, "I can feel the Codex within his body, Jor-El!"
"It's Jor-El! He must have infused a part of the Codex into Eric Kent!"
The omniscient knowledge from ancient times, lost to the Kryptonians, which Jor-El had infused into Eric's body, was mistaken by General Zod for the Codex of Life.
"He possesses infinite potential and room for growth; he is far more formidable than Kal-El!"
General Zod said to Fiora: "Immediately search for Kal-El! I want to find the entire Codex of Life within one day!"
Rika, who had been inserted into General Zod's ranks as a spy, looked at the distant space, her expression solemn.
In the instant she fought Eric, she handed him the main key to the spaceship's main control room.
Using the spaceship's main key, Eric could control some of the ship's functions.
Therefore,
Fiora's statement that Eric would only escape the isolation ship in a day was inaccurate.
If he wanted to, he could escape from the ship trapping him within minutes!
Metropolis.
General Swanwick immediately noticed something unusual.
"What's going on, Major!"
"The information processor has tagged an unidentified flying object launched from the alien spacecraft!"
The Major in charge of intelligence replied to him.
"What's its direction of flight?"
"Not Earth!"
The Major, looking at the display, urgently said to General Swanwick: "The UFO is flying directly into deep space; it appears to be moving away from Earth!"
"What's going on?"
General Swanwick's face showed a puzzled expression.
"Wait, General, two more unidentified flying objects have separated from the spacecraft and are flying towards us!"
The Major nervously told him.
"Zoom in!"
General Swanwick said loudly, looking at the large screen.
At the same time, he picked up the phone, "Commander, full alert. The codename for this operation is 'Trident.' We have currently detected two alien spacecraft aggressively advancing towards us. Prepare for battle!"
"General, Satellite 14 is connected!"
"What's their speed!"
"380 knots, currently entering Kansas airspace. They are not responding to our calls!"
Looking at the large screen in front of him, General Swanwick put down the phone, his expression exceptionally serious.
"Kansas?!"
Meanwhile, Smallville, Kansas, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
Two "beetle"-shaped spacecraft landed on Kent Farm.
The rising airflow blew the nearby corn stalks, causing them to bend to both sides.
After the spaceship's hatch opened, several armored Kryptonian soldiers emerged.
Led by Rika, the soldiers began searching the farm.
Even if they couldn't find Kal-El, they had to find the Codex.
This was the order General Zod had given them.
Rika searched the rooms on the farm for a while but found no valuable clues.
Neither Jor-El nor the Codex of Life.
At this time, General Zod and Fiora were receiving treatment inside the spaceship.
The Kryptonian spaceship, with its advanced civilization, had surgical chambers that could quickly heal injured Kryptonians.
Rika, accompanied by two soldiers, entered the barn and, after an unsuccessful search, had to leave.
Since they couldn't find any trace of Kal-El, General Zod ordered Rika to attack Smallville.
If Kal-El cared about his Earth identity, he would appear.
If he didn't care about his Earth identity, that would naturally be an even better outcome.
After receiving General Zod's order, Rika was about to board the spaceship to launch an attack on Smallville.
Suddenly, she heard a sound behind her. Turning around, she saw a figure standing behind her.
With features like a Greek sculpture, a dark blue uniform, a cape flapping in the wind, and a distinct "S" emblem on his chest that was unforgettable at first glance.
The person who appeared before her was none other than Clark Kent, the one her side had been searching for!
"Kal-El!"
Rika looked at Clark, who had appeared before her, her expression becoming somewhat serious, "You finally appeared!"
"Where is Eric?"
Clark ignored Rika and directly asked her.
"You mean your brother?!"
Rika at this point played her role as a Kryptonian very responsibly, frowning and saying, "You shouldn't ask me, you should try asking him."
"I'm asking you, where is Eric?"
Clark's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Kal-El!"
The spaceship's hatch suddenly opened, and a voice came from inside!
