Just as Steppenwolf appeared in the Solar System with his Parademons army, Hope, who was absorbing the source, immediately sensed it.
"It's Steppenwolf's aura. Is he the coming darkness that the Highfather spoke of before he left?"
Hope's information database contained relevant information about Steppenwolf.
Because when it was created as a mother box, the ruler of Apokolips was Yuga Khan.
At that time, Steppenwolf held a high position on Apokolips. His sister was Yuga Khan's wife, and he was one of the commanders of Apokolips' Parademons army.
Hope was all too familiar with the New Godss of Apokolips' insatiable desire for conquest and their brutal invasion methods.
At that time, any life-bearing planet invaded by Apokolips would have all weak life forms killed, while the strong ones would be converted on the spot into biological weapons—Parademons.
Now, thirty thousand years later, Hope could not be sure if Steppenwolf's power had grown stronger through slaughter and conquest.
Without the slightest hesitation, it flew out immediately and found Zod.
"Father, I sense that the New Gods Steppenwolf from Apokolips is very close to us!"
Listening to the slight tension in its voice, Zod merely smiled, unconcerned.
"Don't worry, I've known for a long time and have already prepared a grand gift for him. You can continue to absorb the remaining source with peace of mind."
Seeing Zod's calm expression, Hope's heart also settled down.
Then it also obeyed Zod's words and returned to its residence to continue absorbing the remaining source.
As Zod waved his hand, nearly three hundred Kryptonians in black battle armor immediately soared into the sky.
These were the first batch of Kryptonians nurtured on Earth.
Under the nourishment of the endless Sun Essence, they had all become mature individuals, and their combat power was the strongest apart from Fiora and the others.
At this moment, a burning Battle Intent was revealed in the eyes of each of them.
At this moment, Zod could clearly perceive the continuous Power Of Faith emanating from them.
He couldn't help but secretly think, "War seems to make them contribute more Power Of Faith?"
Temporarily noting this discovery, he said to these people:
"The enemy has appeared. You are both the builders and the defenders of New Krypton. Now go and claim your glory!"
"I will watch your performance closely."
A simple pre-battle mobilization instantly made their already strong Battle Intent even more fervent!
"For the General! For New Krypton!"
The high-pitched voices of the crowd pierced the sky.
Even those Kryptonians who couldn't participate in this battle were infected, each looking exceptionally excited.
Zod did not stop them, because the Power Of Faith emanating from them at this moment was even more intense!
It was also at this time that Diana, dressed in golden armor with a pair of wings on her back, also appeared on New Krypton via a teleportation array.
Because the moment Steppenwolf appeared, the Gods of Olympus also immediately felt the aura of ancient slaughter and violence.
So they also immediately sent a divine oracle to Diana, stating that New Krypton would be the front line of this war.
Thus, she immediately flew to the North Pole and arrived at New Krypton via the teleportation array.
As soon as she appeared, she witnessed this scene and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Then she silently flew behind Zod and said to him, "Mr. Zod, it seems you already know about this and are ready for battle!"
Zod was not surprised by her arrival. He nodded to her and said,
"Diana, are you also here to participate in the war? However, this time there might not be any room for you to act, because the prey belongs to them."
Feeling those powerful auras, even though it wasn't the first time she had seen them, Diana's heart was still filled with awe.
"How can a race be so powerful?"
Even now, she was still very curious about the origin of Krypton. What kind of existence created this terrifying race, Krypton?
However, she looked around but did not find her friend Fiora, which made her a little puzzled.
As Zod's adjutant, a major battle was about to happen, there was no reason for her not to be there.
Seeing what she was thinking, Zod spoke directly, "Fiora and the others have just undergone physical evolution and are currently on the sun familiarizing themselves with their new powers. They will not participate in this battle."
Upon hearing this, Diana was startled, "Evolution?"
In her opinion, Fiora was already powerful enough. If she evolved further, what level would she reach?
She also understood very well that the power that allowed Fiora and the others to evolve must also be related to Zod. Although curious, she also knew that this was not something she could ask.
"This is a race where everyone has the potential to become a God. It's truly terrifying. Fortunately, Mr. Zod is not a cruel person keen on aggression, otherwise, this would be a huge disaster for the entire Universe."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a deep look at Zod.
Putting away all distracting thoughts, Diana prepared to inquire about the upcoming battle: "Mr. Zod, do you understand the enemy that is coming this time?"
"Don't worry, it's just a wild dog wanting to go home with a bunch of cannon fodder. His master Darkseid cannot appear for now."
Diana was a little confused, "Why is that?"
"Because they can't take the mother box, nor can they open a Boom Tube to connect to Apokolips."
In fact, Zod was originally a bit puzzled as to why Darkseid, after suffering a great loss on Earth, never invaded Earth again in the subsequent thirty thousand years.
One must know that the Darkseid who became the Lord of Apokolips after obtaining the Omega Effect and the Darkseid who was almost cut down by Ares with an axe thirty thousand years ago had a world of difference in strength.
Even if the mother box was lost on Earth, with Apokolips' technology, it shouldn't have been impossible to manufacture mother boxes again.
After all, according to some information learned from previous life comics, mother boxes were not rare items on Apokolips and could be mass-produced.
But after Hope was born, Zod had some other conjectures from Hope.
Perhaps in this special world, the origin of the mother box was not so simple, nor could it be manufactured so easily.
Otherwise, Hope would not have been able to directly draw the source from outside the wall after simply undergoing Fusion with the other two mother boxes, and even obtained the God of Machines' divine position.
Therefore, Zod judged that Darkseid didn't not want to come all these years, but truly couldn't, after all, in this world he was only a Clone.
Without a mother box to open a Boom Tube, it would definitely take him a long time to reach Earth.
If he dared to do so, perhaps as soon as he left, the Highfather would lead the army of New Genesis and directly turn Apokolips upside down.
