American comic book red Superman

"Kara, don't be too sad. Earth will be your second home from now on."

"That's what I'm saying," Rowe said, trying to comfort him.

"Ah."

Kara nodded, continued drinking her coffee, and took another small bite of bread.

"In that case, it explains why your appearance hasn't changed. Everything in the illusion space is static, and your age doesn't change over time."

Jorel explained that he was very familiar with the Phantom Space, after all, as a famous scientist on Krypton, studying the Phantom Space was part of his curriculum.

Suddenly, the mention of the Phantom Space reminded him of someone, and he couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen Zod?"

"Drew Zod?"

Kara recalled what had happened over the past decade or so, “General Zod, after killing you, was imprisoned in the Phantom Realm. I don’t know how many years he will be imprisoned, but Zod is very unwilling. He seems to want to revive Krypton after he gets out.”

"Ugh"

Jorel had no memory of being killed, but when he heard that he had been killed by Zod, he was neither surprised nor emotionally affected.

The conflict between the two on Krypton had already escalated to the point of near-war, and the fact that the Life Codex was injected into their son and sent to Earth further enraged Zod.

life

For Zod, the Codex was undoubtedly the most important thing. It was the only thing that could revive Krypton, even if it was the decaying Kryptonian civilization that was being revived. Zod didn't care; he only wanted Krypton.

Joel sighed and continued, "Zod won't give up so easily. Once he gets out, the first thing he'll do is come to Earth. And the person he'll be looking for then will definitely be you, Karl."

He looked at Rowe with a slightly complicated expression. "You need to be prepared. Zod is an experienced general who has expanded Krypton's territory into countless star systems. He is a supreme general."

"Yes, I know."

Lowe knew better than anyone that General Zod was a potential threat, but he hadn't yet figured out how to deal with this veteran who had been forced into the role of a villain by his class.

"Karl."

After finishing her coffee, Kara's complexion became much rosier.

"What, you want more bread?"

Seeing that she had finished her bread, Luo Wei mistakenly assumed that his cousin was still not full.

"No, I'm full. I just want to go out and soak up some sun. They say that Earth's sunlight can make Kryptonians stronger."

Kara yawned, but couldn't hide the anticipation in her azure eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's a bit late today. How about tomorrow?"

Luo Wei glanced at the time; it was already past 3 a.m. They were currently in the Arctic polar night, with no sunlight. If they wanted to absorb sunlight, they would have to go to the Eastern Hemisphere, which was too far and they couldn't stay there for long.

Rowe dared not leave Kara there alone; if something went wrong, it could cause other trouble.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Kara had no choice but to agree. Being unfamiliar with the place, she didn't dare to run away on her own and could only follow her cousin's arrangements.

Leaving the Arctic.

Lowe returned to the Metropolitan, lay down and slept for a few hours, then got up to participate in the competition, which lasted until nearly noon.

Fortunately, the competition content was very simple for Luo Wei, and the teachers in charge of the team were not demanding of him and kept a low profile. As long as the results were good, most teachers would turn a blind eye and not be too strict.

So, after the end of the trip, Lowe went to the Arctic and took Kara to a deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean. The island was far from the mainland, with no ships in the surrounding waters and no flight paths in the air.

For Kryptonians, the light on this deserted island is undoubtedly the most comfortable and abundant. The sky is cloudless and the boundless expanse of sky is as blue as the sea below. Looking out, heaven and earth merge into one.

"call"

Kara stood on the beach with her arms outstretched, the seawater lapping against her fair toes, the sunlight shining on her entire body. Every cell in her body began to boil, frantically absorbing the sunlight she had never felt since birth.

This wonderful feeling captivated Kara. The warm sunlight gradually eased the soreness in her joints, as if an invisible hand was massaging her entire body and eliminating all pain.

"so amazing"

Kara opened her eyes in disbelief, touched her rosy cheeks, and noticed that her face was no longer thin, but gradually becoming normal and full.

She raised her eyebrows, a smile playing on her lips, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks. Turning her head to look at Rowe, who lay motionless on the beach, she said, "Karl, what was it like when you first sunbathed?"

by?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei slightly opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "It feels very comfortable, more comfortable than ever before. It's as if the shackles binding me have been broken, the heaviness has disappeared, and the power that should have appeared within me has been awakened."

“Yes, your father once said that Krypton is like our prison, and the Kryptonians have never been released. I didn’t know that before, but now I finally understand what it means.”

After Kara finished speaking, she bent her knees slightly and tried to jump up, mimicking Rowe's flying posture with her hands, but she failed to fly and almost fell to the ground.

"Haha, cousin, you're too impatient. You want to learn to fly, but it won't happen that quickly. At least wait a little longer."

Seeing his cousin's comical actions, Luo Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Karl, be polite to ladies."

Kara also felt that her actions were too ridiculous, and she pursed her lips awkwardly as she spoke.

"Take your time, your abilities will soon become apparent."

As Lowe spoke, he suddenly thought of Zod. After Zod came to Earth, he awakened his superpowers in a very short time. You know, it took Superman more than ten years to discover those abilities.

Could it be that Zod is exceptionally gifted?

Regarding this matter, Rowe did not believe that Zod's talent was superior to his own.

He believes that the reason Zod was able to awaken his superpowers in such a short time is largely because Zod is very old and most of his genes have been perfected, which allows him to absorb the power of the stars more quickly. In addition, Zod has a lot of combat experience, which may also be the reason why he awakened his superpowers so quickly.

On the contrary, her cousin Kara couldn't awaken her superpowers in a short time because her body's true age was only sixteen or seventeen. After entering the Phantom Space, her body didn't grow, and her genes didn't evolve. Therefore, compared to Zod's performance when he first came to Earth, Kara was naturally inferior.

To put it simply, Zod already had the rudiments of superpowers within him at that age.

It's important to understand that superpowers are instinctive for Kryptonians, not a mutation.

"Instinct" is hidden within the Kryptonian human body, and the energy of the star is the key to awakening "instinct". General Zod already possessed all the instincts, and all he needed was the key to activate them.

Kara's physical condition is similar to Rowe's; her instincts haven't fully developed yet, so it takes much longer to activate them.

"Alright, Kara, it's getting late, we should head back."

"We'll come again tomorrow."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lowe called Kara and took her back to the Arctic spaceship, while he himself returned to Metropolis.

So, next, during the competition in the Metropolitan area.

Every day, he would take Kara to the island to sunbathe. During that time, he would leave Kara alone for a few hours while he himself would return to Green Vine City in China to make a public appearance. This was to prevent Superman from disappearing for too long and arousing suspicion. After all, Superman had never been absent before, and if he suddenly disappeared, it would inevitably cause some negative consequences.

Time passed day by day, and the Metropolitan Games were drawing to a close. In the final days, Lowe went to Gotham City to see Bruce Wayne.

After dealing with the Mother Box with the Atlanteans, the Atlanteans even developed a new device to shield the Mother Box's signals. However, it consumed a lot of energy and required a continuous injection of energy. Fortunately, the Atlanteans used Magnetic Stone, so this drawback did not cause them too much trouble.

The intelligent Bruce Wayne, through his interactions with the Atlanteans, has learned a great deal about advanced technology and has begun developing a new Batsuit. Especially after the Apokolips incident, Bruce has become even more passionate about scientific research, fearing that he will not be able to cope with future events with his current abilities.

Lowe had anticipated this situation. The cautious Batman always prepares countless alternative plans for himself; he is never satisfied with just one.

Lowe guessed that Batman might have started researching the weaknesses of the Justice League and Superman, fearing that these powerful superhumans might go out of control.

The reason Bruce had this idea was that he knew better than anyone else that even the strongest person could lose control, because he had teetered on the edge of losing control countless times. Those things were very likely to happen at some point in the future, and he had to have a backup plan.

And the day before the competition ended.

My cousin Kara has also made great progress.

"Karl, I can fly!"

High above the deserted island, Kara soared in the blue sky, arms outstretched, like a joyful seagull flying through the air.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Rowe looked up at Kara in the air. She wasn't flying very steadily yet, but she could fly, just not freely.

"Don't worry, I'm exceptionally talented."

Kara raised her snow-white neck, hovering in the air. As soon as she uttered those words, her body lost gravity and plummeted downwards.

"Hey!"

Upon seeing this, Luo Wei quickly went to receive it.

Fortunately, at the last moment before landing, Kara took off again, her light body barely a fist's distance from the ground.

"call"

Karl then took a deep breath and slowly lowered his feet to the ground.

Seeing that she was alright, Luo Wei said speechlessly, "You arrogant cousin, enough said. Be careful."

"It was the first time I learned to fly, and the feeling was amazing. Even if I crashed, I felt it was all worth it."

Kara didn't care. During this time, she had gained super healing abilities and her body had become incredibly strong. Even if she fell from outer space, she would be fearless.

Buzz

wow-

When the two talked.

The once calm sea surface was now turbulent, with wave after wave, layer upon layer, constantly rising into a towering wall of waves, like a tsunami.

Whoosh——

Accompanied by a fierce sea wind, the giant waves, after blocking out the sky, did not fall but instead remained suspended in mid-air.

"Who?!"

Kara heard strange noises and saw bizarre sights before her, which made her wary.

"Don't be nervous, we're on our own."

Luo Wei remained calm, looking in the direction of the giant wave.

A figure slowly walked out. It was a tall, handsome man with short hair and a resolute face. He held a trident and said with a smile, "Superman, do you guys come here to train your troops every day?"

"Arthur, are you done with Bruce?"

Luo Wei looked at Ya

Serkure.

"Yes, I just finished it today. He also invited me to join the Justice League, and I agreed. However, he told me that I didn't agree, which I find a bit of a shame."
