American comic book red Superman

He's been reborn, and you still think of me as a jerk?

Chapter 106-0105: Zod Arrives, Krypton's Hope (Part 1)

"Sir, the Pandora's Box is indeed in China. Superman seems to have persuaded Pandora, but we don't know what conditions Superman offered her at the moment."

In the dimly lit office, a servant entered with the latest news and spoke to Alfred, an outsider sitting in a chair.

"To actually convince Pandora, the superman of this world really surprises me. But Pandora has spent so many years trying to open the box, so it's only natural that she would do anything to open it now that someone brings her even a glimmer of hope."

Alfred smiled, his pale face looking so eerie, especially under the lamplight, that smile seemed to echo the Joker of Gotham.

"Sir, what should we do? The Magic Box is well protected right now, and Superman is there. If we force our way in, it will only make things worse."

The maid was somewhat worried.

"Let's wait and see. The reason Superman hid the Pandora's Box must be because he sensed something. He might be waiting for the fish to take the bait."

Alfred spoke calmly, without the slightest hint of urgency, as if he had anticipated what was about to happen. He was still holding his coffee and had taken a sip.

“Superman is our biggest threat. If we can get rid of him, our future plans will be much easier. But so far, no one has discovered Superman’s weakness, nor has he shown any weakness.”

The maid recalled the news reports about Superman, who was described as having a body of steel, super strength and speed, but no one ever mentioned his defeats.

"Have I told you about my world and my Earth?"

Alfred put down his coffee cup and looked at the servant's face.

“You say that in your world, everything is the opposite of what this world says: evil is justice, justice is evil, bad is good, and good is bad.”

The maid recalled what her master had said to her after she was taken in: "Even the Earth's tectonic plates are opposite to this world, it's unbelievable."

"The world is so ever-changing, with countless parallel universes and countless Earths, and some strange phenomena will always appear."

Alfred stood up from his chair and said, "It took me a long time to adapt to this world; everything is the opposite."

"In my world, there also exists a Superman, whom we should call Super Overlord. On Krypton, there's a stone called Kryptonite that can make Super Overlord even stronger."

The servant, who had been listening attentively, raised her head slightly upon hearing this and eagerly asked, "Sir, do you mean that, on the contrary, in this world, Kryptonite can weaken Superman?!"

“You’re very smart. According to the rules of the world, Kryptonite will become Superman’s weakness.”

Alfred revealed a sinister smile, the wide grin making his pale face appear even more sinister.

"But we don't know where Kryptonite is."

The servant lowered his head again. Superman is not a creature of Earth, and neither is Kryptonite. Finding Kryptonite on this planet would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Alfred remained calm and composed, sat back in his chair, and picked up his cup again.

He sipped his coffee and said slowly, "Wait a little longer. I've waited so many years already, what's a little longer? Bring Deathstroke back."

"Yes."

The maid nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. "Sir, Atom is applying to join the Justice League. Batman is testing her. I think it's only a matter of time before Atom joins the Justice League."

"Yes, tell her not to contact us first. Bruce is naturally suspicious, and he can easily spot problems."

"Perhaps it's a good thing that Superman didn't join the Justice League. The Superman in this world is obviously much more cunning than I imagined."

"You go first."

Alfred waved his hand, and the servant left the office without saying another word, leaving him alone to gaze at the deep sky.

Outside the window, in the deep sky, it was already daytime. Dense dark clouds obscured the blazing sun, shrouding the entire city of Gotham in gloom. The clouds that rolled with the wind from time to time, flashing with lightning, were like the calm before a storm.

Huaxia Kyoto, Self-Strengthening Department, Scientific Research Department.

“Karl, tomorrow is the last day. If you can’t convince me by tomorrow, then our agreement will end here.”

In the lounge, Pandora appeared beside the chair amidst the black mist, her gaze falling on Rowe, who was sitting on the chair.

"hold on."

Luo Wei frowned, his expression returning to normal, and simply replied with one sentence.

But beneath his calm exterior lay a heavy heart, because the fact that no one outside the situation had made any move for two days proved that the other side had realized the trap and intended to remain inactive.

Or perhaps, the outsider is waiting for an opportunity, a perfect opportunity, where the other party will only act when they are 100% certain.

Outsiders are like night owls, lurking in the shadows. Lowe couldn't find them; they were too cunning to reveal a single clue.

"The outsiders you mentioned, their goal is to open Pandora's box, to open a portal to another world?"

Pandora sensed his heavy mood and recalled what he had said earlier.

The magic box doesn't belong to this world.

"I've explained it to you many times, but you still cling to the Pandora's Box and refuse to let go. I don't want to explain anymore."

Luo Wei's expression was indifferent.

"You need to understand how much I paid to open Pandora's box. I even... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. But I even changed the world, starting everything from scratch. If you want me to give up, then convince me with your actions."

Pandora's eyes dimmed, she sighed, and her figure disappeared into the shadows of the corner, dispersing into mist. Then she vanished from the room, leaving only a faint black mist in the air.

"she left?"

Eugene pushed open the door to the lounge and saw that only Superman was sitting in a chair.

"I'm leaving now. Contact me if there's an emergency."

Rowe glanced through the thick walls at the room where the magic box was kept not far away. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned and left.

He knew that the outsiders probably wouldn't take any further action unless something extraordinary happened that would be in their favor.

That's what makes the owls hiding in the shadows fly out from the dark corners.

"I just saw Superman leave; he didn't say goodbye to me. It seems..."

The situation is not good.

A moment later, Hua Xin pushed open the door to the lounge.

"The situation is a bit complicated."

Just as Eumen was about to say something, the communication device hanging on his waist flashed red and emitted a "beep beep beep" sound.

She answered the communicator, and the words on the other end made her expression immediately turn serious.

"Is there an emergency?"

Seeing her serious expression, Hua Xin immediately asked what was wrong.

"It's more serious than an emergency. The space agency has detected an unfamiliar entity entering the solar system and it's constantly getting closer to Earth."

Ou Men took a deep breath, not bothering to explain further to Hua Xin, put down the communicator and strode out of the lounge.

"what?"

Hua Xin was puzzled and immediately followed Ou Men.

Inside the Self-Strengthening Department's conference room, seats were filled with personnel from various departments. They had all received an urgent notification. Although the entry of an unfamiliar unit into the solar system might seem unrelated to them, they should not forget that the purpose of establishing the Self-Strengthening Department was to combat extraterrestrial life forms.

This emergency is also the first time since the establishment of the Power Department that it has encountered a threat from outside Earth.

"A space fleet?"

"Are they mistaken? What if it's a meteorite?"

One of the department heads still couldn't quite believe it.

"This is no child's play. The space agency actually discovered the unfamiliar unit several hours ago, and they confirmed it was a fleet after multiple verifications."

The person on the other end immediately retorted, his face tense, and said gravely, "According to the data report, we can roughly determine their flight trajectory, and their goal is Earth."

"A space fleet? Like our mothership?"

Someone took a deep breath and looked at the virtual image displayed on the big screen. The image showed a huge sky carrier followed by several spaceships.

In the conference room, the other people who hadn't spoken were also staring at the virtual image. From receiving the emergency notification to sitting in the conference room, their scalps were still a little numb. Anyone would be shocked, after all, alien fleets had only existed in novels and movies before, but now the fleet was truly appearing in the solar system and was flying towards Earth at an extremely fast speed.

"Other countries should have also discovered the mothership."

After remaining silent, Eumen finally spoke, staring at the virtual image for a long time before saying, "However, the fleet didn't hide itself but let us discover it easily, so perhaps they don't intend to start a war."

"Ohmen, elephants never care about the feelings of ants. When you walk, do you carefully avoid the sight of ants?"

One of the department heads' words left Omen speechless.

"Dr. Eumen, don't you think the mothership in the virtual image looks a bit familiar?"

As Hua Xin looked at the virtual image, she felt as if she had seen similar craftsmanship and design somewhere before.

"It's the same spaceship that flew away earlier!"

Omen suddenly came to her senses. She hadn't forgotten the spaceship that had mysteriously flown away earlier. The Self-Strengthening Corps had later dispatched troops to search various regions within China, but still couldn't find any clues about the spaceship.

At the time, some people judged that the spacecraft might no longer be on Earth, otherwise how could it have escaped satellite detection?

Originally Europe

Men was skeptical of this view, but now, looking at the spaceships in the virtual images, she had to believe that this space fleet was connected to the spaceships that had flown away earlier.

Hua Xin stared at the constantly flashing mothership in the virtual image, indicating that it was steadily approaching Earth. She muttered to herself, "Perhaps they've been eyeing Earth for eighteen years."

Green Vine City, old town residential buildings.

When Luo Wei returned, he went to find Kara. His cousin was lying on the balcony, sunbathing and sleeping. Her fair skin looked slightly flushed and alluring in the sunlight, and her pretty face was full of blissful enjoyment.

Sure enough, every Kryptonian falls in love with sunbathing.

Why don't you go out for a walk?

Rowe sat down on the stool next to him and patted Kara on the shoulder.

"It's too boring to go alone. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's only fun if you have someone with you. Besides, you've been busy these past two days and you won't take me with you."

Kara was a little annoyed and said, "I'd rather stay here and sunbathe, and improve my strength quickly, so you won't look down on me."

"How could I dislike you? It's just that it's not the time when I need you yet."

Luo Wei smiled and patted Kara's head.

"Hey, don't touch your elders' heads."

Kara slapped his hand away and combed her messy hair with her fingers.
