Unlike Devil Fruits, the power of the Talismans was quite useful even to Zod at his current stage, so he prepared to absorb them.
He took all the Talismans out of the system space, and just by holding them, Zod could clearly feel the power emanating from within them.
He understood that the Talismans were merely carriers of these powers; to truly refine them, he only needed to destroy these carriers.
However, to prevent these powers from escaping, he still needed to make a small preparation before he began the refining process.
Immediately, Zod set up layers of barriers around himself with his magic, and then Sun True Fire ignited in his hands.
In an instant, the stony outer shell that carried the power of the Talismans turned into ashes and vanished.
The next moment, twelve animal phantoms emerged, and then they instinctively tried to scatter.
"I've been expecting you!"
The animal phantoms immediately crashed into the magic barriers Zod had set up and were intercepted.
Zod raised a hand, and the golden magic began to contract rapidly. Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all twelve divine powers.
As if sensing a threat, the twelve animal phantoms began to struggle frantically.
Unfortunately, he was not Princess Iron Fan, and they were not Sun Wukong; their struggles had no effect on Zod.
Next, he began to refine them one by one, starting with the divine power of the Tiger Talisman.
Under the suppression of the Sun True Fire, the refining process went very smoothly.
And each time Zod refined a divine power, a corresponding animal phantom would appear in his eyes, and at the same time, various insights about these powers would emerge in his mind.
Just as he was refining all the powers of the Talismans into one, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
Twelve brilliant pillars of light shot out from his body, transforming into twelve enormous animal phantoms, large enough to blot out the sky, and merged into the void.
In the ethereal realm, Zod sensed that something new had appeared in this world, echoing the power within him from afar.
The next moment, Zod received feedback from the world.
Waves of majestic power instantly poured into his body.
And every cell in his body seemed to turn into a glutton, frantically devouring these powers.
Zod could clearly perceive that his strength was increasing at a terrifying speed.
Although this rate of increase was very fast, this power was very gentle, causing virtually no side effects to his body.
At this moment, a glimmer of realization flashed through his mind.
Because the Twelve Talismans represented the fundamental laws of another world, they had now appeared in this world due to Zod.
This was equivalent to indirectly increasing the foundation of this world, and thus Zod also received feedback from the world.
However, from this moment on, the power projections of the Twelve Talismans would also be etched into the rules of this world.
This meant that other people would, by chance, acquire some of these powers.
But, correspondingly, Zod, as the source of these powers, would also gain some benefits from them.
In other words, Zod had now become one of the shareholders of this world, and the power of the Talismans was his equity; he could naturally receive dividends based on his equity.
"This is a good opportunity!"
Without any hesitation, Zod immediately took out the portion of the world's fundamental laws he had obtained from Prankster.
With the feedback from the world's power, Zod began to refine it at an incredible speed.
Perhaps it couldn't be said that he was refining it; a more accurate description would be that this mass of the world's fundamental laws was actively merging into his body.
Facing such a situation, Zod was naturally overjoyed.
While Zod was immersed in the pleasure of his rapidly increasing strength, the entire universe became lively because of his actions.
On New Krypton, everyone was not surprised by what had just happened, because they understood that it was Zod who was currently in the Sun.
Their General was not making a big fuss for the first time, so they just sighed briefly and then continued with their respective tasks.
Only Fiora looked towards the Sun and said thoughtfully, "The General must have become stronger again!"
Immediately, she clenched her fists tightly.
And on Earth, countless people saw the phenomenon in the sky, and there was a flurry of discussion about it.
However, the country that reacted most strongly to this matter was not America, but China.
Because almost every Chinese person knew that the twelve animal phantoms that appeared were clearly the Twelve Zodiac animals they had heard about since childhood.
So the Chinese high command almost immediately ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, as it could be an opportunity for China.
Due to the influence brought by Zod, various countries began to pay more active attention to metahumans, and the curtain of the age of heroes had already been drawn.
Such a clearly directed event, no one could remain indifferent to it.
Compared to the closest living planets within the Solar System, some ancient powers in the universe, though they did not witness this scene firsthand, had a clear perception of it.
On Oa, the Guardians gathered before the book of oa.
"A new and powerful force has emerged in the universe, but it seems to be dispersed into many parts."
"Could it be that someone has discovered a power similar to the Emotional Spectrum?"
"It's still uncertain. The book of oa is analyzing it and needs some more time to yield results."
On Apokolips, Darkseid opened his eyes on his throne. Two Omega Beams shot out and then disappeared into the void.
"My master, do you have any commands for your most loyal servant?"
Seeing this, Desaad immediately stepped forward and knelt before Darkseid, respectfully saying.
However, Darkseid didn't even glance at him.
A moment later, a deep voice came from his mouth:
"A new power, but my Omega Effect is still stronger. Once I obtain the anti-life equation, Apokolips's conquest will no longer be hindered."
Darkseid captured the information he wanted in an instant but did not take it to heart.
And on New Genesis, Highfather, also a leader of the New Gods, raised his Staff of Origen, and a peculiar energy fluctuation spread. Soon, he too received the corresponding information.
"It seems a true god will soon appear in the universe. I just wonder if he can be brought into the ranks of justice."
Hearing Highfather's words, his adopted son Orion immediately spoke, "Father, who are you talking about? Let me go and bring him here!"
As Darkseid's biological son and possessing the divine title of God of Violence, his temper was exceptionally fiery.
Although he had changed greatly over the years under Highfather's guidance, and was able to restrain most of his temper, he still couldn't change his impetuous nature.
Upon hearing this, Highfather merely shook his head and said, "It's not time yet."
