I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After a tenfold increase, the surrounding air appeared almost like seawater to him.

He tried to imagine the air as seawater, and then stomped on it hard.

A huge explosion followed, and a milky white shockwave erupted beneath Diaklos's feet.

Diack himself also rushed forward instantly.

Like Zod, after reaching a certain level of power, he mastered the method of moving quickly through the sky.

Deafening sonic booms echoed through the sky, but when people looked up, all they could see were clusters of milky-white plumes of air.

Diakros rushed toward the metropolis at top speed, even though blood was seeping from every capillary in his body, and the inside of his Kryptonian suit was now splattered with red bloodstains.

But Diakros didn't care about any of that; he only had one thought in his mind.

Go to Metropolis and help General Zod conquer the planet!

Far away in Diaclos, Selena flew towards the Metropolis while sending a message to Depp.

“Darling, a Kryptonian named Diakros is on his way to you,” Selena said anxiously. “He seems to have used some method to greatly amplify his speed and strength; I can’t catch up with him at all!”

In the air above Metropolis, Depp received the message and immediately replied through the system: "I understand, dear Selena. Don't worry, I'll take care of that guy named Diakros."

Without warning, Depp was punched in the stomach by Zod and fell vertically to the ground.

With a loud bang, Depp smashed a huge crater into the ground.

At this moment, Depp stood up with his face covered in blood, feeling his broken bones, blinked his one remaining eye, and gasped for breath.

Click!Click!

With a few cracking sounds, Depp's broken ribs were healing rapidly.

But before Depp could fully recover, Zod's attack came again.

Several crisp explosions rang out in the air, and Depp was once again blasted into the air.

In the crater where Depp had been standing, Zod coldly raised his head and looked at Depp, who had been knocked into the air by him.

With a whoosh, Zod vanished from his spot once more, appearing without warning behind Depp.

"Is this all you've got?" Zod whispered in Depp's ear. "You lowly earth ant."

Zod threw a punch, and Depp was hit again without any chance to resist.

Chapter 362 The Battle of Metropolis (18)

Zod threw a punch, and Depp was hit again without any chance to resist.

With a tenfold increase in power, Zod's strength completely overwhelmed Depp.

Furthermore, unlike Diack, Zod can perfectly adapt to the tenfold amplification of power.

Furthermore, Zod is several levels above Diablos in his proficiency in using air for high-speed movement and aerial combat.

Fortunately, Depp has an outstanding healing ability. Although he can't absorb sunlight like the Kryptonians, his stamina and healing ability derived from Hulk and Grandi allowed him to survive Zod's attack for a short period of time.

Depp was punched by Zod and landed near a building in the heart of the metropolis, where Zod then appeared again.

Zod grabbed Depp by the hair and then punched him in the stomach.

With a thud, Depp bent over like a shrimp, but because Zod was holding him, he wasn't knocked away.

But the power and impact of that punch caused a terrifying gust of wind to sweep backwards around Depp like countless dense missiles.

Then, the sounds of shattering glass and exploding reinforced concrete filled the air as dozens of skyscrapers hundreds of meters tall behind Depp were shattered by the residual force of Zod's punch.

Sensing the movement behind him, Depp immediately visualized the power of the punch in his mind.

This reminded Depp of a phrase he knew well from his past life... terrifying!

Depp thought that if Zod continued to throw punches like that, he might be able to tear the space around him apart!

After all, the amplification of power tenfold, combined with the power of Krypton's top warriors, is simply too terrifying.

To be honest, after going through so many battles and life-or-death situations, Depp's mental fortitude and pain tolerance are now nothing short of superhuman.

Even though he was relentlessly beaten and covered in blood by Zod, Depp showed no fear whatsoever.

After all, his body contains extremely pure Dionysus factors.

Even if you die, you can be resurrected many times.

What Depp was really worried about was the safety of Selena and the others.

This is also why he followed Clark to fight Zod.

Compared to other Kryptonian warriors, Zod's combat power is clearly on a completely different level.

As it turns out, Depp's guess was correct.

Zod, who could perfectly control the tenfold power amplification, was incredibly powerful.

Depp even believed that Zod could destroy the entire Earth all by himself if he wanted to.

Back in reality, Depp was still being held by Zod, who was punching him repeatedly.

The cracking sounds were incessant, and Depp could even clearly feel Zod's punches shattering his bones and tearing his muscles.

Seeing that even though Depp was limp and lifeless, he was still staring at him intently, as if he were a lifeless doll, Zod's anger intensified.

His eyes gleamed with orange-red heat rays, ready to incinerate Depp's head to ashes.

Seeing this, Depp also immediately began to condense heat rays.

With two buzzing sounds, the orange-red heat rays collided with the white heat rays mixed with purple-gold lightning.

But this time, Depp won!

While the Kryptonian suit can amplify Zod's strength, speed, and stamina, it cannot amplify the intensity of his heat rays.

Depp's heat ray, which has been enhanced several times and possesses the power of purple-gold lightning, is clearly more powerful.

Depp's heat beam shot out from his right eye and immediately split in two, each hitting one of Zod's heat beams.

Depp's heat rays then pushed back, quickly forcing Zod's heat rays back.

Seeing this, Zod immediately dodged to the side, trying to avoid Depp's heat rays.

Depp's heat rays are quite effective!

Depp's heat rays followed Zod's turn and shot into Zod's eyes once more.

Seeing this, Zod smiled slightly, and in another flash, he was already behind Depp.

“You’re so slow,” Zod sneered. “In my eyes, you’re as slow as a tortoise. You won’t even touch a hair on my head.”

With that, Zod slapped Depp hard on the back of the head from behind.

With a thud, Depp was slapped on the back and tumbled several times in the air.

The eyes closed unconsciously, interrupting the release of heat rays.

Zod then came up behind Depp again and said, "I've had enough. I don't know why you have such similar powers to us, but I know you're different from Alkar. You're a complete Earthling."

"Therefore, I will send you to heaven without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Depp realized something was wrong.

He understood that Zod, who had said those words, was already plotting to kill him.

Perhaps Zod's next strike will be the one that finishes him off completely.

"Damn it, am I really going to die here?" Depp thought to himself.

Zod's hands reached out from behind Depp and grabbed Depp's neck and chin.

Then, Zod twisted the object with tremendous speed and force.

With a snap, Depp's neck and cervical vertebrae broke, and his head was strangely turned behind him.

Zod released his grip, and Depp slid helplessly to the ground.

“Goodbye, Earthlings,” Zod said. “I must say, you are a worthy opponent, a true warrior like myself. But… I must.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zod saw a figure rapidly approaching him in the distance.

"Diaklos?" Zod asked in confusion after recognizing the newcomer. "What are you doing here? Have you dealt with the guys who were stopping you over there?"

Diakros approached, not answering Zod's question through his suit's communication system. Instead, he breathed out warm air as he reached Zod's side and said, "I...I ran into some trouble, but I've shaken off that woman. I thought I could come here first and help you take over the city."

Upon hearing this, Zod frowned as he looked at Diakros, whose skin was flushed and red. He asked, "Did you forcibly activate an amplification factor that exceeded your limits?"

“Yes…yes.” Diakros explained cautiously, “That woman is too strong, especially in the water, so I had to activate ten times the amplification to come and meet you.”

“No.” Zod shook his head and said, “You shouldn’t have come to me. You should have killed that woman directly after activating the tenfold amplification.”

"But if I did that, I wouldn't be able to get into your body, I..."

Diacklos was halfway through his sentence when he was surprised to find that Zod's hands were holding him firmly in place.

At this moment, heat rays were gathering in Zod's eyes.

"You...you will resurrect me after I die from exceeding my limits, right?"

"I asked Diacklos in despair."

"What a pity." He said dismissively, "I'm sorry, Diakros, I won't resurrect you. Krypton... doesn't need a deserter."

"No! No!" Diakros cried hysterically, "I'm one of only thirteen warriors on Krypton capable of absorbing yellow sunlight, and with a six-fold amplification! You... Zod, you can't kill me! You shouldn't have killed me..."

Instead of Zod's pardon, Diaclos was met with two long-awaited beams of orange-red heat rays.

The heat rays caused Diakros to struggle incessantly in Zod's grasp.

After a series of convulsions, Diakros's already feverish head exploded into countless pieces with a bang, and his body then quieted down.

Zod landed heavily on the ground, placed Diakros' headless body into his warship's cabin, and said, "I'm sorry, my compatriot, but military law is merciless, and any deserter will only face death."

"For Krypton..."

Zod whispered, then closed the hatch and turned to look at Depp, whose neck he had just broken.

To Zod's surprise, even though he had snapped the neck of the extremely handsome man in front of him, the man was still alive.

In fact, during this short period of time, the man's neck had slowly twisted and moved, recovering half of its original position.
