The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Why should I help you?

Under the influence of special correction equipment, Phantom King's voice maintained a calm emphasis, even accompanied by a hum of electricity, making it sound somewhat languid.

However, it was clear that Phantom King had lost some patience as the question was asked.

Before Li Zhen could answer, he raised his hand towards the Kryptonian female officer who had led a group of outsiders to the Phantom King because she had been deceived by Li Zhen.

"This is a serious oversight on your part, Mara. Is it because I have granted you too much peace?"

The Kryptonian woman named Mara immediately lowered her proud head, her eyes first filled with fear, then she raised them again, her gaze towards Li Zhen and the others now brimming with transferred anger.

Without offering any further words of apology, Mara charged straight toward Mar and his men.

As a subordinate of the Phantom King, her chosen way of atonement was to take down all those malicious individuals who had tricked her as quickly as possible.

Mar and Mia were eager to try, but Mon El reacted a step faster than they did.

He stepped in front of Mara, raised his hands to catch Mara's angry fists, and then, after crushing the foundation stone of the top floor hall with his feet, used the force to throw her away.

Mon El quickly turned around, no longer caring about keeping a low profile, and loudly pleaded with Li Zhen.

"The Phantom King shows no mercy to any outsider without Kryptonian genes! There's no need to continue talking to him!" Mon El's intention was clearly to hope that Li Zhen could once again unleash her divine power, just like she had done with that group of Kryptonian prisoners, and capture the Phantom King like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

But Li Zhen only gave Meng Ai'er a rather helpless look.

"Your intelligence system is outdated, man. If I could walk over there, I would have already gone and beaten him up."

Mon El was stunned, then his gaze shifted downwards, and he finally saw that half of Li Zhen's feet were already embedded in the foundation stones of the main hall.

This was different from the force deflection when Mon El fought Mara, the female officer from Krypton. The solid foundation beneath Li Zhen's feet did not have the spiderweb-like cracks that Mon El had left behind.

It looked as if someone had used immense force to push it down an inch, and the foundation itself had not been completely destroyed.

Only the area surrounding Li Zhen's boots was partially crushed into powder.

In other words, while the two appeared to be talking, Li Zhen was actually secretly fighting against the Phantom King's mental power.

"sorry!"

Even Lee Jung didn't expect that Mon El's first reaction would be to apologize.

"I didn't know the Phantom King also had..."

Thump! Before he could finish speaking, the female officer, her face contorted with rage, lunged at him again and finally managed to knock Mon El away, interrupting what Mon El was about to say.

Mar and Mia were somewhat bewildered.

On one hand, they were on edge because of the sudden outbreak of conflict, and on the other hand, they had no idea which side of the battlefield they could join.

Shadowy footsteps could be heard in the spiral passageway outside the main hall. The commotion of Mon El's fight with the female officer was drawing all the Kryptonian prisoners in the castle toward this place.

Li Zhen turned around and looked at the Phantom King, who remained seated in the black chair with a languid posture, and gently stroked the invisible mental barrier in front of him.

Now he's even more excited about the highly probable gemstone, kryptonite.

It's no wonder that the Phantom King could hold back half of his power without even breaking a sweat; it truly is a treasure buried in the Phantom Zone.

"Are you really not going to consider talking again?"

Li Zhen listened intently to the sounds outside, roughly estimating how many seconds it would take for the first batch of Kryptonian prisoners to arrive.

As Mon El mentioned on the way, while the Phantom King was intelligent, he also had a flaw that was well-known throughout the Phantom Zone.

That is an extraordinary competitive spirit.

This guy wouldn't allow anyone else to receive the same treatment as him, so he forced Mon El to install a backdoor in the Yellow Sun Bracelet that every Kryptonian prisoner received. The original intention of that backdoor wasn't to guard against challengers, but rather for the allocation of resources; confirming status was not Phantom King's primary objective.

Only the Phantom King himself can control the almost unlimited supply of yellow solar radiation; everyone else's usage quota for each cycle requires the Phantom King's personal approval to recharge.

Of course, as the developer of the bracelet, Mon El occasionally gave himself special treatment, which Phantom King couldn't completely keep an eye on.

However, this also means that as long as Li Zhen can keep Phantom King occupied, Mal and Mia, with the help of Mon El, are not without the ability to fight back.

"You are not qualified to continue talking to me."

Phantom King paid no attention to the threat in Li Zhen's words. In his view, once his other subordinates arrived, these outsiders would be taken down immediately.

So what if you have the ability to quickly kill seven or eight Kryptonian prisoners? There are hundreds of people inside this castle!

Besides, no matter how strong Li Zhen is individually, can she be stronger than him?

"That's a real shame. It's not easy to build up a force in such a secluded place."

While making threats, Li Zhen took a step back as if to show weakness.

"I'd like to see if your ass can lift off that chair."

Li Zhen cast a telepathic spell in Mon El's direction. Mon El, whose strength already surpassed that of the female officer Mara, suddenly pushed her away and, taking advantage of the time before the female officer could regroup, immediately activated a device on his waist.

drip.

The portion of yellow solar radiation that should have been relatively abundant on the female officer's bracelet was immediately reduced to zero. Although the remaining energy could still support the female officer Mara in exerting extraordinary power, her overall combat level had begun to plummet.

Then Li Zhen's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

He abandoned his confrontation with the Phantom King and, taking advantage of the female officer's sudden drop in strength, slipped behind her and seized her with a single twist.

With a crisp cracking sound, one of Phantom King's most trusted aides died from a broken neck.

Just a second after the female officer Mara collapsed to the ground, the first batch of Kryptonian prisoners stormed into the hall.

Before they could even utter their loyalist pronouncements to the Phantom King, their respective bracelets simultaneously emitted alarms indicating their share had been cleared.

The sound of dripping beeps filled the air.

Perhaps, in the face of Earthlings, the remaining power within them is still enough to overwhelm all armed forces in the human world.

After losing the radiation from the Yellow Sun, the Kryptonians' power gradually disappeared.

But compared to Li Zhen's size, they had softened from delicious "snacks" into tofu pudding that crumbled at the slightest touch. Li Zhen once again unleashed a speed that seemed to teleport, grabbing one of the Kryptonian warriors charging at the front with each hand, and grinning in the direction of the Phantom King.

"How many seconds does it take you to lift your butt off the chair, Your Majesty?"

Phantom King finally sat up straight, and the heat waves of yellow solar radiation that had been swirling around his head all day began to churn violently.

Even through the bandage-like hood, everyone present could feel the Phantom King's finally ignited fury.

That immense spiritual power emanated from the formless wall, and the overwhelming spiritual surge caused everyone to lose their senses for a moment.

Including Lee Jung, who was about to smash the two Kryptonian warriors she had captured!

"No wonder you seem so confident that it doesn't match your actual abilities."

Phantom King stood up from the black chair.

As his movements became more pronounced, the entire towering castle began to tremble slightly.

"So you received help from that traitor Mon El—outsider, you have no idea how powerful I am!"
