Chapter 505: Desert Wolf and Desert Gou

In response to Zod's request, Donton listened with interest.

"Okay, I understand. Then, what is your request?"

"Is this what I'm asking for?"

Zod was stunned by what Donton said. Didn't he make his request very clear?

Hearing what Zod said, Donton was also stunned.

"Wait, what is your request, what did you ask for?"

"what?"

Zod was stunned again.

"I...I ask you to allow me to send my men to search the universe for my lost...at least 100,000 people who were plundered by the evil enemy!"

"Uh……"

Listening to Zod's repeated request, Donton narrowed his eyes in amusement.

Donton smiled, rubbed his temple, and asked Zod again.

"Wait a minute, what do you think this is a request, are you sick?

Didn’t you say it yourself? Those guys are your subordinates. I don’t think I have recruited your subordinates as my own, right?
If you ask me to give you two unimportant girls to play with, that sounds a bit like a request, after all, I might not be willing to do so.

But if you want to send your own men to do something, why do you have to ask me for help?

Do you want to use your own palm to rub yourself to cool down, or do you have to come to me and ask for help?
Are you kidding me?

While cursing Zod with a smile, Donton yawned and waved to the panda that was strolling across the grass in the distance.

After the panda noticed Downton's actions, he was slightly stunned, then snorted at Downton with disdain, and then turned his head away from Downton.

They remember which bastard brought them from their hometown to this unfamiliar place, and they, the panda clan, also hold a grudge!

Watching the arrogant panda walking further and further away, Donton curled his lips, then grabbed a large basin of milk mixed with honey from the void.

After placing the basin of milk on the ground at his feet, Donton grinned and then gently tapped the edge of the basin of milk.

Suddenly, the panda turned around and looked at the familiar smell at Donton's feet with shining eyes.

Orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter.

In addition to providing food and accommodation, if there are pots of milk, the orcs can not only be slaves, but they can also smoke, drink, and perm their hair on behalf of you, the lord, for generations!

In just a moment, the panda made its choice, rushed towards Downton, and leaned heavily on Downton's legs.

The panda rubbed its head hard on Donton's pants, trying to show its friendly attitude.

But after just two rubs, the panda couldn't help it anymore, and left Donton's legs and buried its face in the basin of milk.

Listening to the sound of the panda licking the milk in the basin, General Zod, opposite Donton, couldn't help but speak in surprise after a brief daze.

"Mr. Tang, you mean... you allow me to send my people to the universe to find more of my people?"

"Zod, do you think I need to go over and have every French woman try my own cannon to dissuade the French from marrying black people and getting bombarded by them?
And you, haha, you sent your men to look for your blood relatives, why should I stop you, why do you ask me for such a natural thing?"

"But, Mr. Tang..."

Zod felt that what Donton said made sense, but even if it made sense, he still felt that something was not right.

After a brief thought, he continued to explain to Donton nervously.

"A few days ago, I made a mistake in provoking your city without understanding the situation on Earth. That's why I led my people to work for you to atone for my sins.

And if I send some people to go into space, there will be fewer Kryptonians working for you, and this... this is at least a loss for you.

And... I sent my people away so that they could find hundreds of thousands of their Kryptonian compatriots.

Once they return and successfully receive sunlight from the Earth, I will have at least hundreds of thousands of nearly perfect soldiers under my command, which will greatly enhance my strength!
While I would never do anything rash toward you because of my increased power, I would certainly consider the impact that such a thing might have on you.

Moreover, the guy who can take away an entire Krypton city is certainly one of the super overlords in the universe.

Once he knows that his evil intentions really come from the Earth, then no matter whether my men succeed or not, the Earth will have an additional enemy at the level of a cosmic overlord!

So of course I have to come to you and ask for your permission before carrying out this plan!"

"Yeah, I see. Wow~"

After Zod finally made his purpose clear, Donton finally understood why this old man came here.

So Donton nodded with emotion, and then spoke to Zod seriously.

"Zod, my old baby, I finally understand what it feels like to be an elder on Krypton.

You are a person who...how should I put it, once you decide to obey, you will obey...very thoroughly!
Damn it, as long as I don't want to tear all the hopes of your Krypton to pieces, then I'm afraid you will obey all my orders, right?

Even if you don't need my orders, you will stand in my shoes, that is, the shoes of the person you choose to obey, and take the initiative to consider others.

Tsk tsk~"

Having said that, Donton patted Zedd on the shoulder.

Looking at Donton's half-smile, Zod frowned and asked softly.

"Isn't this a normal thing? You seem to have a different opinion?"

“No, I fucking agree with you, and I admire your choice.

Besides that, I now understand why Krypton was destroyed, because you guys are really...law-abiding!
This is probably the ideological imprint left in your genes by the Code of Life. Even among you, the supreme elders, cannot escape the influence of this ideological imprint.

Listen to me, old friend, if you can save your hundreds of thousands of people, don't bother with the Code of Life anymore, it's not a good thing."

"This……"

In response to Donton's order, Zod took a deep breath and then nodded slightly.

"I will think about it."

While saying he would consider it, he was silently weighing the options in his mind.

He felt that he could not give up the Code of Life because that was the tradition and heritage of Krypton, but he did not want to anger Downton at this time.

So, let me tell you what Donton wants to hear first. As for what I will do in the future?
I should wait until I find my people before considering what to do. When you imagine a perfect ending to something before it even begins, isn't that like dreaming about winning the lottery before you even draw the lottery?
Thinking of this, Zod nodded to Downton again, then looked at him quietly.

Noticing Zod's expression, Donton waved his hand and said.

"What are you waiting for here, for me to treat you to a meal?

Don’t you want to find your people? Then go ahead. Why, do you want me to help you find them?”

"No, I'm not the kind of person who would push for more. Krypton's own revenge should be accomplished by us, the last Kryptonians.

I will lead my people to recover the lost city of Krypton and rebuild our home.

Whether I succeed or fail, I will never forget your kindness, Mr. Tang!"

Zod bowed solemnly to Downton, who snorted without comment.

Zod bowed and pointed to Fiona who was standing quietly beside him. "Mr. Tang, I will personally lead my people to leave the earth and search for all clues in the universe.

While I'm away, Fiona will be in touch with you on my behalf.

To make up for the damage we have done to Gotham, every member of my tribe who remains on Earth will obey your orders unconditionally.

Even if you need them to die for you, just give Fiona the order, and Fiona will unconditionally carry out everything you ask!"

Having said that, Zod nodded to Fiona.

Fiona turned to Donton and spoke to him with a firm look.

"Krypton will never forget your kindness, sir."

“Yeah, yeah, thank you so much.

Fiona, right? Take your people and continue to search for signs of Steppenwolf with Lex and Bruce.

Tsk tsk, steppe wolf, this name sounds quite good, as if it is meat that can be eaten.

After all, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat.

But look at this bear-like figure, he doesn't look like a wolf at all, I think he is just a wild animal~"

at the same time……

The location close to the center of the earth is also a location that cannot be observed by the current technology of the earth.

Hiding in the extremely hot and spacious cave hall, the Steppe Wolf looked at the almost endless army of demons in front of him, and finally felt a little more excited.

“There are a lot of carbon-based creatures on this planet, including many large creatures, which makes it easier for the demon-like army to form.

In just a few days, the demon-like army has reached a size of over one billion. Even in the records of the countless worlds I have conquered, this speed is almost ranked in the top ten.

This really seems like a good start!"

After muttering to himself, the Steppe Wolf raised his big hand and slapped himself hard on the head.

While rubbing his slightly aching head, he continued talking to himself.

"Bullshit, the guys on this planet are too strong. Even if the demon army is hundreds of times larger, it will be useless!

Damn it, I think I have to get in touch with Apokolips!"

Having said that, Steppenwolf looked towards the Mother Box unwillingly.

After hearing what Steppenwolf said, the two Mother Boxes began to vibrate after a brief silence.

As of today, the Mother Boxes have understood.

If the two of them wanted to go home, it would be impossible to rely on this useless bastard in the wilderness.

If the Steppe Wolves were reliable, they would have gone out with the demons they had created long ago. Why would they continue hiding in this damn place?
Even after the number of demons increased to the scale of billions, Steppenwolf dared not send out even the demons. He was deeply afraid that the people on Earth would discover that the giant creatures deep in the sea had suffered various damages.

Once the people on Earth discover the clues that the deep seabed is connected to the center of the earth, Steppenwolf does not want to face such a desperate lineup of a large group of evolved Kryptonians!

Anyway...

After a brief eye contact, Steppenwolf finally came to the Mother Box and raised his hand to control the Mother Box to slowly float up.

The Mother Box slowly floated in exceptional cooperation, waiting for Steppenwolf to contact Apocalypse.

but.

Looking at the Mother Box that could connect to Apokolips at any time, Steppenwolf fell silent.

He...if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to let the people on Apocalypse see his failure when he had accomplished nothing.

Especially when seen by Darkseid!

In the original plot when Steppenwolf rushed to Earth, the reason why he contacted Apokolips without hesitation was because he had completed the task assigned by Fakese at that time, which was to retrieve the three Mother Boxes.

As for his insistence on opening the Mother Box on Earth to destroy the Earth.

Perhaps he wanted to prove his ability to Darkseid, or perhaps Darkseid ordered him to do so in order to test the earth's strength.

In short, when it comes to contacting Apocalypse, Steppenwolf in the original plot at least did so after his mission had been completed.

Otherwise, does Steppenwolf really like to be laughed at by his colleagues and superiors on Apocalypse?
So, even though Steppenwolf has been forced into the last corner by the pressure from the Kryptonians.

He also didn't want to contact his hometown without success and become a laughing stock among his colleagues!
And so, after a long period of silence.

In the end, Steppenwolf put down the two mother boxes and gave up the idea of ​​contacting the mother planet.

But as soon as he made this decision, he sat back in his seat.

He actually felt a little regretful.

"damn it!"

He just patted his head heavily.

"What was I expecting, damn it, if I didn't let those bastards witness my weakness, would I be able to overcome this mountain of Kryptonians?

I... damn, it seems that all I can do... is wait.

That’s right, I still have another choice, which is to lie dormant completely and wait for an opportunity!

The life span of Kryptonians is not long, and the life span of Earthlings is not long either. Besides, who knows what accidents will happen on Earth in the future? Maybe I will suddenly have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

After persuading himself in this way, Steppe Wolf felt a little better, and then ordered all demons not to leave the hatching base.

After the demon-like being completes the transformation, it will not need additional energy for a long time, just a few decades, and Steppe Wolf feels that he can afford to wait.

But what Steppenwolf didn't know was.

Right now in the sea.

Two divine dragons, one white and one purple, are slowly moving forward in the vast ocean.

While breaking through the waves, Ao Run observed the surrounding environment and then spoke to Ao Guang curiously.

"Brother, is this the lost kingdom mentioned by Atlantis?
Strange, is this really a restricted area on the seabed? Why doesn't it look too dangerous?"

"Yeah, it's a bit strange indeed!"

Listening to his sister's words, Ao Guang nodded his faucet and added.

"According to the people of Atlantis, there are at least hundreds of millions of... Trench Tribe in the Lost Kingdom?

This is the word. I didn’t learn bird language very well, so it’s a little hard to tell. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you know what I mean, that’s enough.

In short, the number of monsters like the Trench Clan should be much larger than what they have now, but why do I feel that the number of Trench Clan monsters is a little sparse?

And the closer you get to the deep sea, the sparser their numbers become?

This is a bit unreasonable!"
