I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

"metropolis."

It wasn't hard to guess where the three would land, or rather, where the alien general named Zod would land: straight towards Metropolis. Bruce Wayne donned his battle suit and headed into the Batcave, where his new vehicle was located.

Not long after its completion, the cost far exceeded that of his Batmobile and Batplane, and it was named Fenrir Armor.

On the streets of the metropolis.

News reports indicate that the spacecraft has left Earth's orbit, and the city seems to have returned to its usual tranquility.

But people walking on the street still looked up at the sky with worry from time to time, fearing a sudden alien terrorist attack.

"what is that!"

Suddenly someone cried out and pointed to the horizon.

A shadow, like a fiery meteor, scraped against the atmosphere and flew towards us at incredible speed and with terrifying force.

"Run!"

The figure drew near in the blink of an eye, and the people in the city were thrown into chaos, fleeing for their lives.

Bang!

Over the city.

Zod abruptly stopped, as if the momentum had vanished from him, coming to an instant halt. However, the gust of wind and the shockwave he created shattered the glass of the surrounding skyscrapers, sending shards of glass raining down and injuring many people.

"Help!"

"Run! Aliens are attacking Earth!"

Screams and wails filled the street below, but he ignored them, turning his head to look with a sinister gaze.

Almost the next instant.

David and Clark chased after them from the air.

"Just stop there!"

Several hundred meters away, Zod's eyes flashed a dangerous red light as he threatened the two: "If you don't want to see this whole neighborhood destroyed in the next second!"

"Wait a moment!"

Knowing best the power of Kryptonian heat vision, Clark's pupils contracted and he quickly stopped, blocking David. The two of them stopped in mid-air, facing Zod from a distance.

David glanced around below and stared at Zod.

"War involves civilians."

Don't you think this kind of trick is despicable?

"War is inherently dirty, young man."

Zod laughed dismissively.

"I'm willing to do anything for my people if it means Krypton can be back on the world."

"On the contrary, you—Karl El!"

"You're a Kryptonian, with Kryptonian blood flowing through your veins, yet you're helping Earthlings against me and my subordinates!"

He pointed directly at Clark, shouting his condemnation with a thunderous roar filled with anger.

"What do you want to do, Zod?"

Trying to tell himself not to act impulsively, Clark clenched his fist and asked.

"Bring me the spaceship you used to get to this planet, and also!..."

Zod looked at David and said, "Get that thing out of your hand."

"Now, immediately!"

"Do you think I'd be threatened by you?!"

David squinted.

The meteorite solution in his hand, which had traveled from the moon back to Earth and passed through the explosion of a satellite, was well protected by his abilities, all in preparation for dealing with Zod. During this time, Zod unleashed several heat vision attacks, but he did not allow them to succeed.

“David!” Clark hurriedly advised David to do as Zod said first, to keep him calm, and then think of a solution: “No matter how fast you and I are, we won’t be able to subdue him before he releases his heat vision.”

David admitted that Clark was right.

His speed is insufficient, and his ability to manipulate gravity is not yet sufficient to distort lasers.

Do you want to defeat the enemy through compromise?

Compromise will only embolden the enemy to take advantage of you, and if you don't get what you want, they will immediately break off relations, so it will be of no use.

"Try to stall him. The city police have started evacuating the crowd. Every second we delay could mean the saving of another person."

Listening to the sounds from the surrounding streets, Clark grabbed his shoulder and said in an urgent, low voice.

David frowned.

In the original storyline, Zod activated the World Engine on Earth and began his plan to transform the planet. The city center of Metropolis was instantly devastated with casualties. Clark, filled with rage, stopped Zod before he could cause even greater casualties and fought Zod in the city without regard for anything else.

Because of its own interference, no one on Earth has died.

Clark's attempt to protect everyone from harm ironically became Zod's leverage for blackmail.

Seeing Clark staring at him anxiously, David released cosmic energy from his hands, evaporating the kryptonite solution on them.

"It seems that Zod has only learned how to turn his extra abilities on and off, but has not fully mastered them."

Seeing Zod relax, his eyes flickered. He realized that Zod was unaware that he still had a bottle of kryptonite solution on his waist, so he didn't make any further demands.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the kryptonite solution is found in my lower back, as it's only a few seconds' round trip from home."

Now, given the right opportunity to get close, he can still take down Zod in an instant.

Swish!

Clark disappeared, only to reappear a few seconds later. He retrieved the spaceship from the cellar without disturbing his parents and threw it onto the street where people were scattering and fleeing.

"What you want, Zod!"

"This way!

Get out of here!"

"Follow me, don't push!"

Police on the street were ordered to evacuate people from the street and surrounding buildings at breakneck speed, but the chaos slowed the evacuation.

Clark looked around and became secretly anxious.

"Faster."

Zod landed, wary of the two, and quickly dismantled the spaceship to pieces, leaving no part untouched, not even the size of a fist.

No, none at all!

Where on earth did you hide the Central Treasury?!

Unable to find what he wanted, he roared in anger, his uncontrollable rage unleashed along with a destructive heat ray, instantly piercing through and cleaving several surrounding buildings in half!

"No!"

Clark shouted and tried to dodge to support a building, but he couldn't get away from the rest because his biofield couldn't extend remotely.

[Template integration is 50% complete]

As several buildings were about to collapse and fall, David waved his hand, and the gravitational field stabilized the buildings.

With improved template integration, he gained a new ability: to change the weight of objects for extended periods, making islands as light as feathers or feathers as heavy as mountains. While this may not be very useful in combat for now, it can be used to save people.

By altering the gravity at several points in the building's structure, the fractured building was able to stand firmly again.

Just now, Zod's heat vision swept across the floors, and hundreds of people who had not yet been evacuated from several buildings died instantly and could not be brought back to life.

"Give me the Central Codex, Karl El."

Otherwise, I will turn this city into ruins!

Zod roared wildly and shot out like a cannonball, knocking Clark away, pinning his head down, and crashing through several buildings.

There must be someone you know here.

"If you don't want them to die, hand over the manual to me!"

"enough!"

His superhuman vision, which allowed him to see through objects, made him clearly see that hundreds more corpses had appeared in the city in the blink of an eye. Clark was filled with resentment and anger, his eyes turned red, and he had murderous thoughts in his heart. He swung his fist and slammed it hard into Zod's face, and they began to fight.

"I will never let you kill another person, Zod!"

He had no idea what the Central Codex was. Zod was asking him for it, but how could he possibly produce it? Hundreds of people had already died!

The Central Codex was indeed sent aboard the spaceship by Jor-El, but Clark was unaware that the codex, which contained the genes of billions of Kryptonians, had been injected into his body by his father; he was the living Central Codex.

David was about to join him in subduing Zod when, in the blink of an eye, a shooting star streaked across the sky and slammed into him, knocking him to the ground.

Several city blocks shook, and a long, deep ditch that ran across the street tore the earth apart.

"Fiora!"

David swung his hand, knocking the person who was pressing down on him away. He floated up and narrowed his eyes.
