Earth still looked peaceful now, as Superman had been on Earth for less than a year, and Batman's parents might still be alive.
As for the other superheroes and supervillains who would stir up trouble in the future, most of them had not yet grown up.
Leto now asked, "General, should we issue a proclamation to the civilization on this planet, demanding they hand over Kal-El?"
"No need. I know where he is. Take the spaceship to the North Pole of Earth. There's a Kryptonian colonial ship sent out twenty thousand years ago. I will personally go find Kal-El."
With that, Zod walked to the hatch and flew out.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, he felt every cell in his body cheering.
This was a completely different feeling from absorbing the solar essence produced by sunflowers.
After all, sunflowers had the limitation of production efficiency, while the current solar radiation was inexhaustible, allowing his body to absorb it to its heart's content.
Leto, meanwhile, activated the spaceship's force field protection and flew towards the Earth's North Pole. With the current technology on Earth, the spaceship's trace could not be detected at all.
Zod stopped high above, feeling the sense of pleasure emanating from his body, and for a moment, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
His body began to greedily absorb the radiation emitted by the healthy yellow sun, and the True Sun Scripture within him also operated rapidly, turning Zod into a small luminous body.
At this moment, vital energy was continuously generated within him, allowing him to continue to assault the Bitter Sea, seeking to expand it further.
Just as Zod was immersed in his rapidly rising power, on the ground, countries with military satellite systems had already discovered Zod's existence.
Looking at the alarm from the satellite, the people in the ground control room immediately reported, "Report, a huge unknown energy source has appeared above Earth, and the value of this energy source is still rapidly increasing."
"Did the satellite capture any specific images?"
"Retrieving now!"
Soon, several blurry photos came in. After technical processing, they finally saw the scene in the photos, which made everyone stand rooted to the spot.
Because a person was clearly suspended in space in the photos.
"A person? Is he the source of that anomalous energy? Who can tell me this isn't a dream."
"According to the satellite detection results, that is indeed the case, Commander."
"Now, immediately activate a Level 1 alert, mobilize satellites to constantly monitor his every move, and notify military command to prepare for war."
Facing such a sight, no country, no one dared to act rashly.
Because the energy value emanating from Zod's body at this moment was already close to the energy value produced by the explosion of the largest existing nuclear warhead of nuclear-armed nations on Earth.
More importantly, this value was still increasing at a terrifying rate.
In other words, this unknown humanoid life form was a walking nuclear warhead, and a nuclear warhead whose value could continuously increase. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
Soon, Zod also woke up from that state.
"First, let's take care of business!"
As for the feeling of being watched from all around, he naturally understood what was happening, but he didn't care in the slightest.
He swooped downwards, accelerated instantly, and vanished from the satellite monitoring screen in a flash.
His super vision determined the direction of Kansas, USA, and his super hearing, when concentrated, allowed him to pinpoint the location of Kent Farm in a few seconds.
Soon, he appeared above the farm. Activating his X-ray vision, he saw the little Superman being held in Martha's arms, and the spaceship hidden in the farm's warehouse.
He landed lightly, and Zod knocked on the Kent family's door.
Although he had inherited and merged with everything of the original Zod, he actually bore no ill will towards Superman or his adoptive parents. In fact, in his previous life, this was his favorite superhero.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the cinema to watch the new Superman movie, nor would he have chosen to rewatch the previous version of Superman after being disappointed.
Of course, without these, perhaps he wouldn't have inexplicably transmigrated to become Zod.
Not long after, the door was opened. Jonathan saw Zod, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. He didn't remember knowing him.
But out of politeness, he still spoke with a slight smile, "Sir, are you here to buy some farm produce?"
Zod also smiled and said easily, "No, I'm here for him, Clark Kent. Of course, he has another name, Kal-El, the name his father gave him!"
Hearing this, Jonathan immediately became nervous.
Others didn't know Clark's identity, but he still remembered everything about that night clearly.
If Clark was an alien, then this man in front of him was also an alien.
Swallowing hard, Jonathan asked somewhat dryly, "Are you Clark's father?"
"No, his birth parents are all dead, and the entire Krypton was destroyed. We are the last survivors of Krypton, and I am his father's friend, Zod."
Zod also explained to him with interest.
"Krypton, is that the name of Clark's home?"
"Yes."
"By the sound of it, it must have been a beautiful place. Why was it destroyed? Did it suffer some terrible disaster?"
"No, Krypton's destruction was fated."
"What?"
Jonathan didn't quite understand the meaning of Zod's words.
"May I come in and sit down?"
"Sorry, please come in."
Jonathan immediately invited Zod into the house, and Martha also came over at this time.
The Clark in her arms, upon seeing Zod, actually grinned and laughed, extending his hand as if wanting a hug.
Zod very naturally took Clark from Martha's hands, which left her a bit confused about the situation, and she could only look at her husband for help.
Jonathan looked at his wife, gently squeezed her hand, and then shook his head.
At this moment, Zod could clearly feel that Clark had already activated his Kryptonian talents.
However, because he was too young, many abilities had not yet awakened, but even as a baby, ordinary knives, swords, and bullets on Earth probably couldn't harm his seemingly tender skin now.
He couldn't help but sigh, no wonder in the original story, although Zod had far more combat experience and skills than Clark, he still couldn't do much against him, and eventually got dragged into a brawling fighting style.
Receiving solar radiation since childhood, he had a full thirty more years than Zod. The gap between them was simply not something that so-called experience and skill could compensate for.
Zod quietly looked at the child in front of him, his thoughts already wandering.
Finally, Jonathan couldn't bear the inner torment and stepped forward to ask Zod, "Mr. Zod, are you here to take Clark away this time?"
After these few months of living together, he and Martha had truly come to regard Clark as their own child. If he were to be taken away like this, he and his wife would not be able to accept it.
