Although Zod currently had absolute confidence in achieving a Breakthrough in his cultivation, he did not choose to make the Breakthrough right there in the Ultra Universe.
Because he understood very clearly that if the will of the great universe could appear once during his previous Breakthrough, it could definitely appear a second time.
As a Multiverse formed by the unification of many dimensional Universes, it was impossible to determine whether the Ultra Universe still concealed other powerful existences he was unaware of.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zod planned to wait until he returned to the Origin Universe before considering the matter of the Breakthrough.
And this thorough sorting and integration also allowed Zod to discover an ability he had previously overlooked.
That was one of the sub-abilities of the Gluttony King—Food Chain.
This ability was also very simple: it could tightly link Zod and all his subordinates together in a pyramid-like structure.
Zod, as the existence at the very top of the pyramid, could control all the abilities of his subordinates, while the subordinates below him could also acquire some of Zod's abilities.
This ability would undoubtedly become a crucial link for the New Krypton God System in the future.
The moment he underwent Rebirth and became Zod, he knew very well that he would never be content to be confined to a small three-dimensional reality Universe.
As long as his strength continued to achieve Breakthroughs, he would inevitably step into the Domain of Gods, making it destined that he would stand opposite Rao, the original Supreme Main God of Krypton.
Because he would never willingly submit to others, even if the other party was the true Origin of the Kryptonian Bloodline.
Centered on this ability, Zod only needed to continue developing and strengthening it deeply. He could then use it to allow those who submitted to him to completely break free from their original constraints, making himself the Source for everyone.
When Fiora, Hope, and more New Gods grew stronger, a brand-new God Kingdom would also take shape, and Zod would become the true King of Gods.
Furthermore, now that he had acquired the ability to travel across worlds, establishing a vast God Kingdom spanning all heavens and myriad realms in the future was not impossible.
However, all of this was too far away, and Zod did not dwell on it deeply.
At this moment, all the strange phenomena dissipated, and everyone gathered around.
Silly Girl came to Zod with a smile: "Master, you've finally come out of seclusion!"
"Hmm! It looks like you've gained quite a lot these past few days."
Zod instantly saw the changes in Silly Girl.
"Thanks to the firewall you left inside me when you helped me eliminate the dark power before, Master, I have achieved another evolution."
As she spoke, Silly Girl even spun around in front of Zod, and a trace of light carrying a sacred attribute flashed across her body inadvertently.
The Little Princess also softly called out, "Mr. Zod!"
Her crystal crown was no longer on her head; her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she was no longer wearing a princess dress, but a capable combat uniform.
The aura emanating from her entire body was completely different from the fragile and socially anxious appearance she had when they first met.
Zod, who was in a good mood now, smiled and praised her: "It seems you have truly begun growing towards becoming a qualified King!"
The Little Princess shook her head, "No, I don't want to be a King. I want to become a Warrior who can protect everything I cherish."
At this moment, Zero stepped forward impatiently and asked, "Mr. Zod, when you fought Belial and the Reiblandor Alien before, had you not recovered all of your power?"
In fact, when he saw Zod again in this Universe, he vaguely sensed a slight difference between Zod now and Zod in the Monster Graveyard.
And just now, when Zod completely broke the Seal and his cultivation was fully recovered, he felt that same sensation from Zod again.
Hearing Zero's words, the others also looked at Zod in disbelief.
Zod said nonchalantly, "That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I would have drifted into this Universe?"
"As expected, I knew it."
Zero tightly clenched his fists. He originally thought his strength was already great after acquiring the shield of parage, but now it seemed the gap between him and a true powerhouse was still vast.
However, he was not discouraged; instead, a new goal to continue becoming stronger formed in his heart.
"Alright, I suppose you've waited long enough. Now that this Universe has basically returned to its original peace, it's time to return to the Land of Light. You still owe me a few things!"
Although Zod had already mastered the Origin of Light and Darkness, he did not plan to give up on the Land of Light's plasma spark tower and other technology.
"Mr. Zod, are you leaving?"
Hearing Zod's words, the Little Princess's expression became unusual, and she seemed vaguely nervous.
Looking at her, Zod thought she was worried that he would plant a spirit tree here, just like on other planets.
So he comforted her: "I don't belong to this Universe, so naturally I must leave. Don't worry, Esmeralda is your homeland, and I won't do anything to it!"
After touring the Universe, the amount of spirit tree fruit Zod had stockpiled was already immense; a mere single planet was insignificant to him.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Seeing Zod say this, the Little Princess quickly waved her hand to explain.
Then, as if bracing herself, she firmly asked: "Mr. Zod, can I leave with you?"
Zod did not agree immediately, but asked instead, "Are you sure you can let go of your homeland?"
"Today, Esmeralda no longer has my family or my people. All I can feel staying here is sadness."
"I want to follow you and see what other Universes look like. May I?"
After speaking, the Little Princess looked at Zod with extreme nervousness.
Hearing her words, janbot couldn't help but urgently call out, "Your Highness the Princess!"
Mirror Knight also spoke up: "Your Highness the Princess, the future of Esmeralda still needs you."
They were all former Royal Guards, and Emerlana was the only remaining member of the royal family. Their mission was to protect her well.
It was obvious that Emerlana must have made this decision after careful consideration.
Therefore, she directly said to janbot and Mirror Knight: "No, the Esmeralda Royal Family no longer exists, and I am no longer a Princess. From now on, please use your own strength to protect this Universe!"
Seeing this scene, Silly Girl couldn't help but stand beside Emerlana and said to Zod, "Master, why don't you take Emerlana with you? She would be very lonely staying in this world alone."
"If you have truly made up your mind, then I can allow you to follow me. I just Hope you won't regret it in the future."
To Zod, Emerlana was not entirely without value, and taking her as a subordinate was also inconsequential.
"Mr. Zod, I won't regret it."
Seeing that Emerlana had truly made up her mind, janbot also made a request: "Mr. Zod, please allow me to follow Your Highness the Princess and leave with you. I beg you!"
"You may!"
The Little Princess's face was filled with emotion: "janbot!"
"Your Highness the Princess, I am your guard. No matter where you go, my duty will not change."
Mirror Knight could not leave because he still had to protect Mirror Star, so he could only caution janbot: "Protect Your Highness the Princess well!"
After saying goodbye, Zod sensed the coordinates fed back by the energy cluster he left in the Land of Light and directly opened a Teleportation Channel in front of everyone.
