I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

“It’s truly astonishing. I’m so glad that not all Earthlings are like you.” Zod walked up to Depp and looked down at him. “But it’s all meaningless. You will die by my hand, just as Earth will become the new Krypton.”

As he spoke, Zod crouched down, intending to use the same method he had used to kill Diakros to take down Depp, who was struggling to reposition his head.

"You damn alien scum, don't touch my man!"

Hearing the angry shouts from the horizon, Zod turned his head to look.

Selena, her entire body shimmering in ice blue, hurtled toward Zod like a shooting star.

Selena's expression was contorted at that moment. When she saw that Depp's head had been twisted off, she could no longer maintain her previous rationality and aloofness.

Selena is now consumed by anger and madness.

She wants the guy who ruined Depp to pay the price!

At the same time, Selena seemed to hear another voice in her heart.

The voice was different from her own; it sounded like an extremely hot and mature woman.

However, the anger contained in that voice was almost identical to his own!

At that moment, Selena realized that her strength seemed to be much greater than before.

However, Selena was not in the mood to think about who the voice was or why her power had increased again.

Right now, all she wants is to tear Zod to pieces!

Filled with rage, Selena didn't even see the message Depp sent her, urging her to escape as soon as possible.

"Is she the woman Diacklos met before?"

As Zod spoke, the heat rays from his eyes switched targets and shot towards Selena.

The orange-yellow heat rays, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, hurtled straight towards Selena.

The two collided head-on. Seeing Selena's reckless behavior, Zod snorted coldly, preparing to watch as the foolish woman in the sky was burned to a crisp by his heat rays.

To Zod's complete surprise, the heat rays were deflected the moment they hit Selena!

Like sunlight shining on a mirror, it was reflected in all directions.

Some of them were even reflected back to their own side.

Selena sped through Zod's heat beam at incredible speed, sending the unsuspecting Zod flying with a single punch.

To be honest, Zod's mind is a bit of a mess right now.

This is the second time today that his heat rays have been forcefully deflected.

He wiped the dirt off his mask, his eyes full of amusement.

“I never expected Earthlings to be so interesting.” Zod stood up, flashed to Selena’s side, and whispered in her ear, “But it’s still meaningless. You and your man will both die by my hand today.”

"Go to hell! You alien cockroach hiding in your shell!"

Selena, disregarding her image, angrily cursed as she tried to shove the kryptonite in her hand into Zod's mask.

Seeing this, Zod immediately waved his hand, trying to knock Kryptonite away before it completely weakened him.

Snapped!

As Zod attacked, the kryptonite in Selena's hand slipped from her grasp and flew into the distance.

Even with her power increased to some extent, Selena's strength still lags far behind Zod's, who has been amplified tenfold.

Just when Zod thought he had succeeded, something unexpected happened that neither Selena nor Zod expected.

On Selena's back, an icy blue tentacle appeared as if it had its own consciousness, and quickly wrapped around the kryptonite that had been knocked into the air.

Then, the tentacles quickly changed direction and hurled the kryptonite at Zod.

At the same time, a sticky, sexy voice, yet filled with boundless rage, appeared out of nowhere.

"Go to hell, you alien bug! How dare you beat up Johnny Depp like this! Die!"

Depp, who was struggling to recover his mental health, immediately recognized the voice upon hearing it.

Isn't that the voice of Lady Siren, now the Queen of the Sea?

Seeing this, Zod immediately dodged backward; he was still much faster than Bilina and the Siren Queen.

After dodging, Zod fired another beam of heat from his eyes, instantly burning the creature that was wrapped in tentacles to ashes.

Kryptonite can cause Kryptonians to lose their power, causing them immense pain and weakness, even though they possess the energy of the yellow sun.

However, it could not affect the attacks already launched by the Kryptonians.

Therefore, under the attack of heat rays, kryptonite is no different from ordinary stone; it is just like an egg that breaks at the slightest touch.

After resolving the Kryptonite issue, Zod returned. Freed from the Kryptonite's constraints, Selena was now no different from Depp in Zod's eyes.

They're just slightly more powerful insects on Earth.

Zod came up behind Selena, intending to do the same thing he had just done to Depp.

However, the moment his hands touched Selena, she suddenly turned into a puddle of water.

A pool of water... that seemed to be alive.

Furthermore, judging from Selena's surprised expression just now, it seems that she herself did not expect this change.

The water quickly sank to the ground, then gathered again around Depp.

Chapter 363 The Battle of Metropolis (19)

[This person has gone mad, randomly blocking people every day.]

After reshaping her body, Selena was clearly still recovering from the emotions she had just experienced.

After all, anyone who finds themselves suddenly turned into a puddle of water, sinking to the ground, and then reforming would be stunned.

However, the Siren Queen was not in the mood to share Selena's stunned silence.

She quickly detached herself from Selena and, in a symbiotic form, twisted and entered Depp's body at an extremely fast speed.

Then, the carnage symbiote that was originally on Depp quickly shrank back, and in its place was the blue skin that represented the Siren Queen.

As his skin color changed, Depp's neck snapped back into place.

Meanwhile, Depp's injuries are healing at an even faster pace.

Selena watched this magical scene from the side, and suddenly something occurred to her. Her eyes darted around, as if she had figured out the ins and outs of the Siren Queen.

Seeing this, Zod did not want to give Depp too much time to recover.

When he saw the changes in Depp, he immediately flashed to Depp's side.

Seeing Zod rapidly approaching him and about to kick him, Depp didn't dodge immediately. Instead, he reached out his left hand and threw the Carnage Symbiote inside him at Selena.

Because Selena had lost the protection of the Siren Queen at this time, if he did not merge the Carnage Symbiote with Selena as quickly as possible, even the residual force of Zod's attack would be enough to tear Selena, who had an ordinary human body, to shreds!

The red Carnage Symbiote merged with Selena instantly at Depp's command, and at the same time, Zod's attack followed.

The immense force and shockwave instantly blew Selena away.

Depp, who was hit squarely by the kick, was sent flying into the air like a shooting star.

At the same time, Zod stomped heavily on the ground, chasing after Depp at an extremely fast speed.

Because his attempts to use the heat ray were twice thwarted, Zod completely abandoned the heat ray attack method this time.

Instead, they were replaced by brutal, hand-to-hand combat.

Depp, suspended in mid-air, was attacked by Zod from different directions like a sandbag.

On the ground, Selena, who had just regained her footing, wanted to chase after Depp to help him, but was frozen in place by the Carnage Symbiote.

"Let me go, he needs my help!"

Selena said, tears streaming down her face.

The repeated loud explosions in the sky caused by the attack on Depp made Selena's heart bleed.

The Carnage Symbiote poked its head out and said in a shrill voice in Selena's ear, "No, Mr. Depp said you're not allowed to participate in the battles afterward! Besides... my power isn't even enough to qualify me to continue fighting. If you don't want Mr. Depp to be distracted while saving you, then stop moving around."

"I know... I know that if I rush over there now, it will distract him," Selena cried, her eyes brimming with tears. "But I can't just stand by and watch the person I love most get beaten to death by that alien bastard!"

“Don’t worry, Ms. Selena,” Carnage said. “Once the Queen and Mr. Depp have fully merged, it may be time for us to prepare for victory.”

"Queen...?" Selena asked, puzzled. "You mean the bracelet Depp gave me that allows me to merge and transform? The one... called the Siren Queen bracelet?"

The Slaughter Symbiote nodded and said, "That's right, the Siren Queen is a symbiote second only to the Symbiote God."

“A symbiote? Like you?” Selena asked. “That bracelet… or rather, you symbiotes are actually alive…”

“Of course, otherwise who do you think you’re talking to? An AI program?” Carnage said. “The symbiote can amplify the host’s strength and various abilities many times over. For example, I can increase your strength by five to ten times, while the Siren Queen will give you a fixed strength value when you are weak, but when you are already very strong, she can amplify your strength by up to twenty times!”

"Twenty times..."

Selena stared blankly at Depp, who was still getting beaten up in the sky, but gradually calmed down.

Although she didn't know the exact limit of Depp's power, with a twenty-fold increase, Selena felt that even that alien scum would be no match for her man!

As for why the Siren Queen felt the same anger and heartache as herself when she saw Depp's neck snapped...

Selena thought to herself, "Forget it, I'll deal with this after everything is completely over!"

In the sky, Depp was being used as a punching bag and beaten up by Zod, just like before.

Unlike before, this time Depp's muscles, bones, and internal organs were not easily shattered by Zod.

With the Siren's amplification, Zod's attacks can no longer keep up with Depp's recovery speed.

As his physical functions rapidly recovered, Depp gradually adapted to his power, which had increased nearly twentyfold.

"How does it feel to be one with me again, Depp?"

The Siren Queen's voice echoed in Depp's ears, making him feel a surge of romantic longing.

Depp responded in his mind: "It feels great, but I have to say, suddenly gaining such great power has left me a little overwhelmed. I need to get used to it before I can control it properly."

"Hmm, I understand, I understand completely. Of course I'll be there to help you adapt to this wild power," the Siren Queen said. "After all, I'm the older sister~"

"Thank you very much." Depp closed his eyes, carefully feeling every inch of his muscles.

"But you almost scared Selena and me to death just now. We thought you were really dead..." the Siren said with a hint of resentment. "I'm not saying this to be mean, but your little girlfriend's body is just too weak. Otherwise, we could have killed this guy right away!"
