American comic book red Superman

"You don't look that much older than me."

As he spoke, Rowe squinted at the deep sky, sunlight streaming onto his face. The sunlight looked so comforting, and occasionally a few birds flew by. "Kara, look, when those birds fly by, don't they look like you?"

"Get out of here. Like you, yesterday when I was shopping, the sign selling Superman posters said, 'That's a bird? No, that's Superman.'"

As Kara spoke, she pulled out a small Superman figurine, patted its head, and smiled, saying, "Look, he's so well-behaved; he won't touch my head without permission."

"Kara, what am I thinking?"

Luo Wei flicked the figurine that resembled himself and then said, "I was thinking, if my identity is exposed in the future, how much could I earn in a year just from the royalties on the figurine?"

"Pshaw, Supergirl will definitely be more popular than Superman. They prefer beautiful things."

Kara pursed her lips, twisted the figure into a takeoff pose, then placed it on the table, not forgetting to pat the figure's head.

She asked, "Why are you back so early today? You usually don't come back until dark."

"Because I'm done with my work."

As Luo Wei was speaking, a fluctuation came from between his eyebrows. It was an abnormality of his supersensory perception. He immediately looked up into deep space, his brows furrowed.

"what happened?"

Kara was puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen."

Luo Wei rubbed his temples. "Perhaps I'm tired. I need to rest for a while."

He hadn't slept for the past few days, staying by the Magic Box at night, waiting for the Outsider. He would also wander around, trying to find traces of the Outsider, but unfortunately, he found nothing. They were like night owls; as long as they hid in the shadows, they were hard to detect.

"It's here, the opportunity is just around the corner."

In a remote manor in Gotham City, a pale-faced man who resembled Wayne's butler stood by the bed, gazing into deep space with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Sir, what's here?"

The servant was puzzled.

The outsider, Alfred, grinned sinisterly. "Our chance has come, it's in the sky."

In the universe not far from Earth, a massive mothership flies through the vast void, constantly heading towards the blue planet.

"General, Earth is just ahead. Should we inform Karl El?"

the woman asked.

"not needed for now."

Drew Zod rose from his chair and strode resolutely to the mothership's enormous floor-to-ceiling window. He gazed at the tiny planet in the distance, feeling the long-lasting sunlight shining upon the center of the solar system.

He opened his arms, took a deep breath, and a satisfied smile spread across his face: "This is Krypton's hope."

[P.S.: To clarify, there are now two Alfreds, one is an outsider, and the other is Bruce Wayne's Alfred. They are not the same person.]

Chapter 107-0106: Zod Arrives, Krypton's Hope (Part Two)

"Mothership landing, location: Moon!"

"General, the fleet is ready. Shall we proceed to Earth?"

"Yes, Fiora will be in charge of this operation. Do everything you can to avoid conflict with Earth!"

"Fleet ready. Destination: China, the United States, Russia, England!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"set off!"

"The fleet has left the hatch and is heading towards Earth at full speed!"

"All fleets will land in half an hour!"

"Please be careful, everyone, and best of luck!"

"For the glory of Krypton!"

"For the glory of Krypton!"

On the surface of the moon, the closest point to Earth, a massive aircraft carrier landed once again. Spaceships flew out of the hatches, and inside the cockpits sat fully armed Kryptonian warriors, clad in heavy armor.

Fiora was riding in the spaceship in the very center.

“Fiora, your landing site is in China. The signal from the Son of El was transmitted from China.”

"Yes."

Fiora adjusted the coordinates, the autopilot system locked onto China, and a slight push-back sensation followed as the spaceship sped towards Earth under immense thrust.

In a moment, the planet that had seemed so distant gradually came closer and became larger.

"Earth, it's much more beautiful than Krypton."

"Report the current situation, Fiora!"

"We are about to enter Earth's atmosphere. The planet's gravity is relatively weak, which makes me feel very relaxed. General, you made the right choice to bring the World Engine."

"Earth has always been inhabited by the weak, and our arrival will change her. The World Engine will make her adapt to Kryptonians."

"It has now entered the atmosphere."

At this very moment, the whole of China is still in the peaceful early morning. A ray of sunlight gradually rises from the east and shines on the well-arranged city clusters.

On the morning before the Lunar New Year, the streets were still bustling with people. During the holidays, people would visit relatives and friends, and with so many customers, there were plenty of street stalls. Even during the Lunar New Year, there were still hardworking old men and women hawking their wares. The stalls sold not only sesame cakes but also other New Year's goods. The bright red decorations and festive atmosphere would last until dark.

Whoosh——

However, just as everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of welcoming the New Year, a slight rumble came from deep space, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon, crashing through the thick sea of ​​clouds and sweeping over the city cluster. The huge shadow loomed overhead, and the ear-piercing sonic boom made everyone look up.

Whoosh——

In the depths of space, a massive spaceship sped past, leaving a conspicuous trench in the thick sea of ​​clouds.

"Dad, look, that's a spaceship!"

"What spaceship?"

"Damn, that really was a spaceship, it just flew right over our heads!"

"Is that something new from our country? The Strategic Deception Bureau has stopped pretending and is actually letting them fly out so brazenly!"

"No, that doesn't seem to be a product of Earth."

"If it's not from Earth, could it be aliens?!"

The crowd erupted in uproar, with various opinions circulating about the strange spaceship in deep space. Many assumed it was an official creation, given the recent spate of rumors circulating online.

China has made good progress in certain technologies.

Some people watched the spaceship fly overhead and disappear into the horizon, but something still felt off.

That spaceship made them feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

In particular, some people noticed that the front of the spacecraft was marked with a unique symbol that was different from any official organizational symbol they could recall.

And at the same time.

Not only in China, but also in the skies above major cities in the United States, Russia, England, and other countries, day or night, and in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the same logo has been spotted on the front of each spacecraft.

The spaceship flew over the airspace of various countries.

Air defense agencies from various countries detected the spacecraft's presence immediately and attempted to intercept it. However, to everyone's dismay, their interception systems were all paralyzed and unable to be activated, unable even to perform the most basic tracking.

The interception systems that were once a source of pride for various countries have now become nothing more than scrap metal.

Countless generals could only sit in their chairs and watch the spaceships fly by on the screen. It seemed that being able to see the shadow of the spaceships was already a sign of mercy from the other side.

Because they knew that these spaceships all came from a massive mothership on the moon.

The speed at which that mothership moved was beyond anyone's imagination. It's important to understand that since the beginning of humanity's exploration of the universe, we have been constantly observing the movements outside the solar system.

If so, not even a single meteor shower can escape detection and exploration.

The mysterious mothership appeared suddenly in the solar system like a ghost, without their noticing. Some experts have realized just how powerful the civilization Earth is about to face is. It possesses space jump technology that is beyond human reach. The fact that the mothership has such technology is enough to make their scalps tingle.

Immediately, all the top leaders of various countries held emergency meetings, and the troops that had been recently mobilized were also on high alert.

Be prepared to face this catastrophe at any time, this unprecedented war.

"Dr. Eumen, they've arrived."

In Kyoto, China, there was a knock on the door of Dr. Eumen's office.

"I already know."

Omen sighed, not surprised. After all, since the establishment of the Self-Strengthening Department, it had been mentally prepared to fight against alien civilizations.

"The spaceship landed in Green Vine City. They didn't directly launch a war. Could they have another purpose?"

The subordinates were puzzled.

"Wait a minute and wait for instructions from above."

Eumen took a sip of water and stared at the screen with a serious expression. The screen showed the spaceship, which was hovering above Green Vine City, completely still. If it weren't for the heat waves rolling from the jets below the spaceship, it would seem as if everything had stopped.

What exactly does the spaceship's owner want to do?

"General Zod, when he was gathering information about China, he found the keyword 'Superman.' His characteristics are similar to those of Kryptonians. However, the Son of El has lived on Earth since childhood, so it is impossible for him to have the physical abilities of a Kryptonian."

"Jor'el once told me that Earth could change Kryptonians and allow them to evolve."

"General Zod, what should we do next?"

“Calling Karl El.”

spaceship

Fiora was not surprised to hear Zod's words.

She knew that Zod's high-profile call to Kal'el was actually a test of Earthlings' perception of outsiders.

They were also testing Karel's reputation on Earth.
