MCU- CH-296. New Hope, Kandor City

Zod, who officially arrived on Earth following Clark, originally wanted to land his spaceship directly on the most conspicuous square in the city. After all, they represented the face of Krypton, even if it had been destroyed.

If he wanted to be sneaky, that was not his style, but Clark stopped him directly!

"Are you kidding?" Clark asked. Zod's visit to Earth had already caused global panic. If he were to land in thr city again, it would be tantamount to roasting himself on a fire.

However, Zod did not agree with Clark's statement. After all, when they landed on Earth, they had already notified the entire planet, so how could they be timid now?

"Kal-El, has all this growing up on Earth only taught you to be a coward?" Zod was extremely tough and tried to provoke Clark.

But in the end, after Clark moved Luke out, Zod compromised!

So, the final result was that Zod's spaceship opened the barrier and landed quietly in the Arctic, becoming a neighbor of the Fortress of Solitude, which was only in its infancy.

During this time, Clark asked Zod and his crew to open the protective shields above their heads and accept the gift of the sun.

Before this, Zod had learned from Luke that the Yellow Sun would unlock the true talents of the Kryptonians, but he did not understand the specific meaning of this sentence.

After hearing what Clark said, he was ready to open the protective mask as he said, "General!"

Zod's subordinates were ready to use themselves as experimental subjects, but Zod stopped them with a wave of his hand!

The moment the mask was opened, Zod felt a flash before his eyes, and a feeling of dizziness came over him. He couldn't help but stagger. Fiora, the adjutant beside him, immediately stepped forward to support Zod.

Because he was completely convinced of Luke, Zod did not have any unnecessary doubts about him, even though he felt very bad at the moment.

However, the painful look on Zod's face made the surrounding Kryptonians panic, and they immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "General, are you okay?"

Although the discomfort was still tormenting Zod, he could still feel the wonderful changes taking place in his body, so he said to his men, "Don't worry, I feel my body is undergoing incredible changes."

Gradually, more than ten minutes passed, and Zod's spirit suddenly shook. A terrifying red light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his whole body involuntarily floated in the air.

He heard countless sounds—the breathing and heartbeats of the people around him. These originally very subtle sounds were magnified countless times in his ears.

Because he was mentally prepared, Zod did not panic. Instead, he concentrated and began to control the appearance of these sounds.

As the commander-in-chief of Krypton, over the hundreds of years, the training he had undergone was naturally hundreds or thousands of times more than that of Clark, a kid who grew up on a farm.

Therefore, even though Clark had absorbed solar radiation on Earth for nearly thirty years, he was still suppressed by Fiora and Zod.

At this time, after only a dozen minutes, Zod had begun to be able to control his current body!

"I didn't expect that the yellow sun is the most precious treasure for us Kryptonians!" After Zod fell back to the ground, he looked at his hands with a complicated expression and muttered to himself.

It's not like they had never seen the yellow sun when Krypton sent out spacecraft for interstellar colonization, but they had never imagined that the radiation from the yellow sun could give them such powerful strength.

"Everyone, take off your masks!" At this time, Zod ordered all Kryptonians to open their masks and accept the baptism of the sun.

Then he followed Clark into the explorer spacecraft.

Looking at Jor-El, with only a projection of his consciousness left in front of him, Zod felt a variety of complex emotions flash through his heart.

This was his best friend, but he also killed him.

"Zod, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way."

As a dead man, Jor-El no longer cared much about his past. Now, the meaning of his existence was his son.

"Have you discovered the secret of the Yellow Sun a long time ago?"

In silence, Zod asked Joe this question.

"Yes!" Jor-El did not deceive Zod and answered him directly.

"In that case, why didn't you tell the Elders about this news? If they knew this secret, Krypton would not have been destroyed so completely, and our people would not have died."

"Tell me, as Krypton's most outstanding scientist, why did you want to keep this secret?"

Zod asked Jor-El sharply.

"It's useless. The destruction of Krypton was interfered with by a force beyond our control."

Jor-El had learned some inside stories of Krypton's destruction from Luke. Although it was somewhat different from his own ideas, it also gave him another more reasonable reason.

His own idea was that Krypton's system had become extremely corrupt, and everything had become rigid. Everyone's life was determined before birth, and there was no possibility of change.

Clark was the first child born naturally on Krypton in tens of thousands of years. Without any restrictions on the direction of his growth, he could become the new hope of Krypton.

In order to give him unlimited possibilities, Joe integrated the Codex into every cell of his body.

"Is this the reason why you watched our compatriots die tragically before your eyes?"

However, Zod didn't buy his argument.

"Zod, let the past be the past. Now that His Majesty the Lord God is here, everything will be better in the future, right?"

At this time, Clark, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak out.

Hearing this, Zod said nothing more.

"Zod, in fact, there are other survivors among our compatriots. It's not just one person, but an entire city! That city is the city of Kandor that disappeared many years ago!"

At this time, Jor-El revealed a shocking piece of news.

"What!" Not only Zod, but Clark also widened his eyes.

"Jor-El, you are kidding me! I saw that Krypton has become a ruin. How could there be so many survivors?"

Zod's face was full of disbelief, but there was also a hint of expectation.

"It was Brainiac, the legendary super-intelligent life form with level 12 intelligence, the other black hand behind the destruction of Krypton. The city of Kandor was shrunk by him using some technology and became his collection."

Zod was not immediately convinced by Jor-El's words. Instead, he doubted where he got the news from.

"Because Brainiac has set his sights on Earth, and I captured one of his robot thought signals. What information did I decipher from it?"

Seeing Joe say this, Zod had to believe it. Whether it was true or not, it was another ray of hope.
