The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Regardless of the world or whether Superman has turned evil.

Mon Al's neglect of Superman is the only thing that Lee Jung finds abnormal so far.

"He was your best friend in your youth. You recounted that you had been awakened for over ten years, wandering and surviving in the Phantom Zone, enduring humiliation and waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables..."

Even if life was incredibly difficult and stressful, for such a long time, they didn't care at all about the situation of their close friend who was telling the story.

The boy has grown up, has a job, a life, and has even become a superhero.

Moreover, since Mon Al had previously mentioned the word "Superman," it at least proves that there were still some exchanges between the two sides before Superman from the Unjust World turned to the dark side.

"Or is it that we have different understandings of the word 'friend'?"

As that light, mocking remark fell, Mon El abruptly released his grip on the helm, staggering backward uncontrollably.

Li Zhen immediately and silently stepped to the side, firmly protecting Mal and Mia behind her.

The three of them silently watched Mon El's strange transformation.

Prince Daxing pressed his hands tightly against his head, his eyes shifting between confusion and bewilderment, his whole being in a state of inexplicable chaos.

This appearance was somewhat beyond Li Zhen's expectations. The next second, Mon El's eyes reddened, and he murmured to himself, as if questioning himself or pouring out his heart.

"Why... I never thought to ask him..."

"Later, I seized the opportunity to escape the castle and have been wandering in this blood-red zone ever since, homeless, searching day after day for a way to defeat the Phantom King."

"But now I realize that I've never thought of Karl before, never..."

His words became increasingly incoherent until something suddenly snapped in his throat, his expression changed drastically, and he abruptly lunged at Li Zhen.

Mar and Mia were on high alert, ready to provide assistance at any moment.

In contrast, Li Zhen remained firmly in place, showing no vigilance or resistance to Mon El's sudden actions.

He wasn't hard to sense things like murderous intent and hostility, which is why he chose to question the other party instead of subduing them without saying a word after recalling the anomaly.

Mon El wasn't making trouble; from beginning to end, this guy's aura was exactly the same as the Blue Scouts that Li Zhen had seen in the original world.

The words of their close friend were not unfounded; their personalities must truly be compatible for them to be so compatible.

Mon El wasn't really there to fight; he seemed utterly overwhelmed by endless confusion, collapsing straight at Li Zhen, his voice hoarse and incoherent. The moment he opened his mouth, Superman had vanished again.

"I can sense that you are the opportunity I have been waiting for for many years, the only strong one who can defeat the Phantom King."

"But I can't understand why I have to defeat him. I've been obsessed with this for over a decade, searching through all my memories, but I can't find the original reason..."

The more he recalled, the more intense the throbbing pain in his head became. Finally, he couldn't help but arch his back and let out painful howls.

Interesting. Despite all the questions, Mon El still couldn't remember why he had forgotten Superman; he was only focused on the matter of the Phantom King.

He sighed, leaned down, and softly asked the other person a question.

"Are you afraid that the Phantom King will escape from the Phantom Zone with a group of Kryptonian prisoners and invade Earth?"

Mon El trembled violently and immediately shook his head in denial.

"No...it hasn't been like that for a long time."

"The Phantom King tried to escape countless times in his early years, but all attempts failed. His forces have basically given up hope of escaping."

"There must be another reason... but I can't remember anything."

Mar lowered his voice and whispered to Mia, "Are we still going to deal with the Phantom King? He's like this now..."

Mia remained silent; she knew that Mal was using this as a pretext to ask the instructor.

Li Zhen gently helped the struggling Mon El to her feet, her back to the boy and girl.

"Go, as usual, to the Phantom King's castle."

"Being able to command a group of vicious Kryptonian criminals, the Phantom King is no saint himself, especially since we need to borrow his device for finding people."

He turned to look at the distraught Mon El, and his suspicions subsided somewhat.

He himself was also affected by the mysterious forces of this unjust world and developed amnesia.

The Phantom Zone and the World of Injustice are connected, and this interference cannot be isolated. Mon El's current appearance is perfectly normal to Li Zhen.

This close friend of Superman has most likely developed some kind of minor ailment.

It's unclear whether it leans towards emotional intensification like Bu Yichao, or towards physiological interference like Li Zhen.

Li Zhen patted Mon El on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't overthink it. We'll go with you. Maybe we can help you find the answers you're missing." Mon El slowly calmed down, his eyes still empty. From beginning to end, he didn't mention a single word about Superman.

Yeah.

If this obsessed and unstable guy were to learn that his best friend from his youth had suffered the tragic death of his beloved, turned completely to the dark side, built a violent regime, and ultimately met a near-death end, it would be disastrous.

The situation is likely to worsen.

The group then found several sets of worn-out Kryptonian uniforms in the skyship's storage compartment and changed out of their clothes.

Using some odds and ends found in the ship's cabin, Mon El quickly tinkered together four pairs of high-tech glasses.

After the group put them on, and with a little adjustment by Mon El, their appearances were completely disguised as those of the Kryptonian prisoners that Li Zhen had previously killed.

Everyone returned to the deck, and Mon El steered the sailboat forward. Now the focus returned to how to defeat the Phantom King, and he seemed much more normal again.

It was as if some being had bestowed upon it a mission, one that was impossible to resist or distort; otherwise, it would immediately cause a splitting headache.

"Those guys who escaped didn't have a sailboat for navigation. The Phantom Zone transcends the rules of real spacetime. Even if they had bio-force field abilities, they absolutely couldn't have arrived before us to deliver the message."

This is true.

Not long after, a colossal castle, towering to the heavens, appeared on the pale purple horizon. It remained completely unguarded.

Yes, in addition to sending some people out on patrol and collecting necessary materials on a daily basis.

For a power that can already dominate the Phantom Zone, it is unlikely that an even stronger threat could come from the outside.

It's inevitable that there will be some slackness in this regard.

The castle is entirely constructed of massive rocks, with an exterior in the style of a classic fortress. However, its overall size is extremely large, surpassing all the top buildings on Earth in length, width, and height. Its towering rock walls reach straight into the sky, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.
