I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Clark, carrying Zod in one hand, waved to Martian Manhunter with the other.

Martian Manhunter raised the hand holding Usa and shook it as a sign of respect.

Upon seeing Zod, covered in blood and unconscious, in Clark's hands, Usa immediately burst into tears.

At that moment, she finally understood that their plan had completely failed.

Clark and Martian Manhunter entered Arkham Asylum at the same time, where Harley Quinn had been waiting for a long time.

However, at this moment, Harley's madness and eccentricity had long since disappeared, leaving only worry and sadness.

She knew where her man had gone and what powerful enemies he was facing, which made Harley worry.

However, she did not forget the task that Depp and Joseph had given her.

Upon seeing Clark and Martian Manhunter return with the Kryptonians, she immediately opened the asylum gates and led the two inside.

Usa looked at the dark Arkham Asylum through the gate and shivered for no reason, even forgetting the sadness he had just felt.

Because at that moment, she felt that the most terrifying thing in the world was not the collapse of faith.

Instead, it's this seemingly ordinary mental hospital in front of us!

The dark, gaping mental hospital seemed to connect to hell.

Usa even felt as if he could hear the howls of demons within.

Clark and Martian Manhunter ignored Usa's change and followed Harley Quinn deeper and deeper into Arkham Asylum, arriving at the second basement level.

Chapter 366 The Battle of Metropolis (Part 22)

Shanghai, Pudong.

Depp sped past the ruins, searching for Wayne's figure.

Soon, Depp discovered Wellen, who was lying next to the Kryptonian, also lifeless.

Standing beside them was another Kryptonian warrior.

The Kryptonian warrior removed his helmet, revealing a handsome face and long hair flowing in the wind.

He stood there expressionless, his head bowed, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Why did we risk our lives to come to Earth?"

"Rebuilding Krypton? Or is it just to satisfy someone's selfish desires?"

“I don’t understand, but I really don’t want to see my relatives and companions die one after another in front of me.”

“Perhaps you can try a different life,” Depp said, landing on the ground. “If your soul doesn’t bear the mark of having to rebuild Krypton or perish with it, then you can start over.”

Based on the words of this Kryptonian named Claydi, Depp speculated that he was very likely a Kryptonian born of freedom, just like Clark.

However, Clayty himself doesn't seem to be aware of this.

"restart?"

Claydy looked up and immediately recognized the man who had sunk most of the Kryptonian warships.

"Are you kidding me? You killed so many of us!"

Claydy charged at Depp without hesitation, only to be subdued by him in an instant.

"You'd better kill me right now, or I'll be lurking in the shadows like a ghost, waiting to take you down!"

Depp took out two bottles of concentrated life essence from his system space and asked, "Even if I could revive your best friend?"

"Don't try to fool me, you damned Earthling!" Claydy said, on the verge of collapse, thinking of his best friend's tragic state. "He's dead. Even the yellow sun can't bring a Kryptonian back to life after losing his head."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought Kryptonians were the most intelligent race in the universe, but now I realize I was wrong."

Depp poured two bottles of concentrated life essence onto Wellen and the Kryptonian beside him, saying, "Breathing doesn't necessarily rely solely on the nose and organs. For some people, every cell in their body can breathe, and as long as there is a breath left, there is hope for recovery."

“And…” Depp pointed at Clyde’s nose and said, “I attacked you because you wanted to destroy my planet. I believe that even Kryptonians wouldn’t stand idly by while those who try to take over your homeland and enslave your people.”

"Taking the initiative is always the best solution when facing an aggressor."

“Oh, I seem to have forgotten that Krypton has always been a race that enjoys barbaric expansion and interstellar colonization. No wonder you don’t understand the feelings of the invaded.”

Clayton was rendered speechless by Depp's words and could only lower his head in shame.

Yes, it was ourselves and General Zod who were the invaders.

They are the villains who intend to destroy humanity and the Earth.

"Is this... reaping what you sow?"

"Clayty said in a low voice."

However, the next second his eyes widened in surprise.

He discovered that Wellen, who had previously been lifeless, was now experiencing rhythmic tremors and rises and falls in his chest.

Furthermore, Wellen's legs and severed arms, which were reduced to bones, began to recover rapidly.

At the same time, the Kryptonian whose head had been smashed by Weren's punch also began to tremble.

Strands of flesh spread upwards from the neck, seemingly trying to reshape its head.

"How...is this possible?"

Clayty stared intently at what was in front of him and murmured something.

Depp patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "Actually, they weren't completely dead at all; they were just struggling on the edge of death. And just now, I gave them the energy they needed to heal themselves, so they naturally 'came back to life'."

Wellen stood up, feeling his own surging, overflowing life energy, and casually stuffed the kryptonite into the newly grown mouth of the Kryptonian beside him.

"Boss, I failed..."

Wellen said, looking down.

Depp gave Wellen a tight hug and said, "No, you did very well. You've reached your limit."

But I still...

Depp interrupted Wellen, saying, "But next time, don't gamble with your life again. I don't want you dying in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Wellen remained silent, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yes, boss, I will follow your advice."

Weren hoisted the Kryptonian beside him onto his shoulder and asked, "Do you need me to take them to Arkham? You seem to have saved this guy's life."

The astute Wellen deduced, based on Depp's act of saving the Kryptonian who was teetering on the brink of death, that his boss probably didn't want to exterminate these guys.

Therefore, Arkham Asylum's Kryptonite prison is the best place for these guys.

"We're not going anywhere!"

Clayty retorted stubbornly.

Before he could finish speaking, he found himself tied up by Depp, and Depp also stuffed a piece of kryptonite into his mouth, which had been wide open from talking.

“Alright, Wayne, you can send them to Arkham Asylum now.” Depp tossed Claydy to Wayne and said, “I reckon Clark and Martian Manhunter have already taken Zod and Usa to Arkham, and Bruce is probably on his way to take Fiora to Arkham as well.”

Depp's words caused Clarty's brain to short-circuit.

General Zod, Lady Usa, and Lieutenant Fiora were all defeated and captured.

What kind of interstellar joke is this?

That's three-quarters of Krypton's strongest fighting force!

The remaining one is an idiot who can't control his own power.

If I remember correctly, that idiot was working with Lieutenant Fiora.

If even Lieutenant Fiora has been captured, then that idiot has naturally been defeated as well.

And judging from the fact that the man in front of him didn't mention that idiot at all... that guy must have been completely killed.

Thinking of this, Clarty sighed and gave up struggling completely.

With their own leaders arrested, what's the point of struggling?

Not to mention that this guy just saved his best friend.

After bowing slightly, Wellen gathered his strength in his legs and leaped into the air, running towards the shore.

He planned to take the sea route directly and swim back to Gotham.

For an extraordinary crocodile, this is indeed much faster than using human transportation.

When Wellen leaped up, Depp noticed that a small, cute crocodile tail had sprouted from Wellen's butt.

"It seems this child's atavistic genes have evolved again."

Although he didn't know whether this was good or bad, Depp was powerless to stop Wellen's own changes, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After Wellen left, Depp also took to the skies to go to his next destination.

However, before that, Depp suddenly remembered something, and he went back to the European battlefield to restore Oswald, who was only wearing underwear, to his normal size.

Then they pried Joseph out of the wall.

Carrying one in each hand, Depp returned to Gotham in an instant and placed them at the entrance of the asylum.

Harlequin had just led Clark and the others into the Kryptonite prison on the second basement level.

As soon as Clark stepped into the second basement level, he felt dizzy.

He immediately handed General Zod to Harley, saying, "I don't think this place is suitable for me. I'll wait for you at the door."

Clark felt much better after taking the elevator back to the ground.

When he reached the entrance of Arkham Asylum, he immediately saw Joseph and Oswald lying on the ground.

Clark dialed Harley Quinn's number and said, "Miss Harley, Mr. Joseph and Mr. Oswald have been placed at the entrance of the asylum, and they both appear to be in a coma."

"How is Joseph? Is he in any danger?" Harley asked anxiously.

Clark used his X-ray vision to take a look and said, "They're fine, just a mild concussion. They should wake up in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Harley immediately kicked Zod into the Kryptonite prison, then skipped and hopped away outside.

"Little green man, I'm leaving this place to you for now. I need to go pick up my husband."
