Tal-Ma and the others had no choice but to be shocked.
This was their mothership!
A super battleship that ranked among the most powerful and advanced in the entire galaxy.
Its defensive systems alone were enough to withstand high-intensity bombardment from entire fleets.
And yet—
It had been breached in an instant by nothing more than a flesh-and-blood body!
As if the mothership's defenses were nothing but fragile tofu.
Even though Tal-Ma and the others already knew that Alex had killed General Zod, and that his strength was absurdly terrifying—
They never imagined he would be terrifying to this degree.
Instantly breaking through the mothership's defenses!
But if that was the case…
Then perhaps this was actually a good thing.
Because Alex had just walked straight into his own grave.
---
"Alex, didn't Kal-El ever tell you how it felt when he was brought aboard our ship?"
AI Zod suddenly laughed.
Kal-El had grown up on Earth and adapted to Earth's environment.
To him, Krypton's atmosphere was nothing short of poison.
When Superman had first been brought aboard, he couldn't even stand—
he had collapsed to the floor, coughing up blood.
Alex was clearly stronger than Kal-El and wouldn't be as fragile.
But the Kryptonian atmosphere inside the ship would still weaken him severely!
This was suicide.
---
"But I never told you I was a Kryptonian, did I?"
Alex replied with a mocking smile.
The grin on AI Zod's face froze for a moment—
then quickly turned into a sneer.
"Bluffing won't save you."
Steel-like body.
Flight.
Heat vision.
Super strength.
Every single ability was standard Kryptonian configuration.
The evidence was right there—denial was meaningless.
Because when Alex had used telekinesis to kill Zod's subordinates, Zod himself was already dead.
AI Zod had never witnessed Alex's non-Kryptonian abilities.
In his recorded memory, Alex's powers were indistinguishable from those of a Kryptonian.
---
"Kill him."
AI Zod coldly issued the command to Tal-Ma.
---
Whoosh!
A sonic boom echoed.
Tal-Ma lunged forward at maximum speed, appearing in front of Alex in the blink of an eye.
His iron fist, carrying the force of thunder, smashed toward Alex.
Alex merely lifted his hand.
Just a casual wave.
---
Slash!
Tal-Ma's head flew into the air.
---
What?!
What just happened?!
AI Zod and the remaining Kryptonian warriors were completely dumbfounded.
They stared at Alex with wide eyes, utterly unable to believe what they had just seen.
A single wave of the hand—and Tal-Ma was dead?
Wasn't he supposed to be weakened inside the mothership?!
How was Alex still this terrifying?!
This wasn't weakening at all!
This was a joke!
---
Boom!
Alex couldn't be bothered to explain anything.
His body flickered—and vanished.
Only a sonic boom remained behind.
At the same time—
The sounds of shattering bones and exploding flesh echoed through the ship.
When Alex reappeared in front of AI Zod—
Every single Kryptonian aboard the mothership was already dead.
Their bodies lay scattered across the floor, motionless.
Only AI Zod remained.
---
AI Zod was completely frozen.
So this… was Alex's true power?
Slaughtering Kryptonians like chickens!
No wonder Zod himself hadn't been able to fight back at all.
In fact, when Alex killed him—
He hadn't even used his full strength.
---
"You're not a Kryptonian…"
AI Zod murmured.
At last, he understood.
But unfortunately—
It was far too late.
---
Boom!
Alex vanished once again.
And just like Captain Marvel tearing through Thanos's fleet—
He punched straight through the mothership.
---
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!
The entire ship exploded.
Blazing flames burst outward, dazzling beyond endurance.
---
"He did it!"
"He really did it!"
The military personnel watching the scene erupted with excitement.
Many shouted in joy, others hugged one another tightly.
The engines transforming Earth were destroyed.
Earth was saved!
---
"He succeeded!"
A smile spread across Superman's face.
---
Whoosh!
A figure emerged from the sea of flames.
Alex flew over and landed beside Superman.
"There's still one left in the Indian Ocean. I'll be back in a second."
---
Boom!
After giving Superman a brief nod, Alex vanished again.
And in the very next moment—
He reappeared.
---
"General! Good news!"
A soldier excitedly reported, "The engine in the Indian Ocean has also been destroyed by Alex!"
The general froze.
He stared at Alex standing beside Superman and asked in disbelief:
"…Are you sure?"
Alex was right there in front of him!
"Yes, sir! Absolutely certain!"
"Alex destroyed the second engine just now!"
---
The general was stunned again.
Which meant—
In the blink of an eye, Alex had crossed half the planet, reached the Indian Ocean, and destroyed the engine there.
This wasn't just absurd.
This was outright inhuman.
---
[Mission Complete! Congratulations to the host for receiving 50,000 Origin Points!]
[Detected remaining Origin Points. Would you like to use them immediately for enhancement?]
As the world erupted in celebration, the system's voice echoed in Alex's mind.
A smile curved at the corner of his mouth.
Rewards received.
The mission was finally complete.
Fifty thousand points was no small number.
---
"Enhance."
Alex gave the order without hesitation.
---
Whoosh!
In an instant—
He felt a clear and powerful change surge through his body.
He was stronger than before.
Much stronger.
Alex was in a very good mood.
---
"Alex… you saved this world."
"You did what I couldn't."
Superman spoke with heartfelt emotion, smiling as well.
Even though he hadn't truly contributed much, he was genuinely happy.
Happy that he hadn't misjudged Alex.
And happy that Earth hadn't been destroyed by Krypton.
---
"I'll take my leave."
Hearing the approaching military personnel with his super hearing, Alex patted Superman on the shoulder—
And vanished in a flash.
