Perceiving Zod's return, Hope was the first to appear before him, a look of joy on his face, with Leto following closely behind.
"Father/General, you're back!"
Zod immediately noticed that the Divine Power within Hope had increased by at least tenfold, indicating that the two sources he had given him for refinement had been remarkably effective.
And Leto, after completely stabilizing the Super Genes within him, had also achieved a significant all-around improvement.
Then he casually asked, "Has anything happened on New Krypton during my absence?"
Leto immediately replied, "General, research on the Sunlight Gene Engine has made a Breakthrough, and formal experiments can begin very soon."
"Also, regarding the Flerken you gave me previously, we have finished exploring its dimensional stomach and discovered many special items within it, which you might find interesting."
"Furthermore, Adjutant Fiora and the others have already embarked on their journey through the Universe as per your previous instructions, General!"
Hearing this, Zod nodded understandingly, then looked at Hope.
"Father, there's one more thing."
"Two months ago, a Brainiac reconnaissance spacecraft landed on Earth. I initially thought he was targeting Earth, but he was actually collecting information about my becoming the God of Machines."
"I cracked and enslaved the intelligent Clone he left in the spacecraft, which led me to discover something related to old Krypton."
When the name Brainiac was heard from Hope's mouth, relevant memories immediately surfaced.
He then remembered that this artificial intelligence lifeform with a collecting habit had apparently stolen Kandor City and its seven million Kryptonian residents before Krypton's destruction.
Indeed, the next moment, Hope said, "Father, according to the memories within Brainiac's Clone, he secretly orchestrated Krypton's destruction."
"Moreover, he used a special miniaturization technology to shrink and steal a Kryptonian city named Kandor, and the people in that city also became his collectibles."
"I have already verified this matter with Mr. Leto."
Seeing Hope mention him, Leto also nodded and said, "General, that is indeed the case."
Originally, Hope planned to use Brainiac's Clone to follow the clues, find his base, defeat him, and reclaim Kandor City, but he was stopped by Leto!
Because he knew very well that this matter was not so simple; if the seven million Kryptonian survivors were truly rescued, it would inevitably impact the existing order of New Krypton.
After all, those guys were not like them, absolutely loyal to Zod.
Zod did not know what Leto was thinking; if he did, he would only tell him that even if the former Krypton returned, he would have absolute means to subdue everyone.
"I am aware of this matter, and it's time to settle some scores!"
Immediately, Zod telepathically summoned all the Kryptonian Warriors.
"General, you're finally back! Can we fight again?"
"This time, I must also participate in the battle."
Now, a warlike atmosphere permeated all of Krypton.
Previously, Zod summoning a group of people to the Hellblazer world had disappointed many who were not chosen. Now that Zod had issued another call to arms, they all became excited.
Seeing them all eager for action, Zod raised his hand to signal them to quiet down for a moment.
Then he said, "Everyone, I have some bad news and some good news to announce to you."
As soon as he said this, many people's expressions became solemn, because they didn't know what their General would consider bad news.
Immediately, they began to whisper among themselves, "The General said that, could it be that some very powerful enemy has appeared?"
"Impossible, I believe the General is the strongest in this Universe."
"That's right, even we possess the strength to traverse the Universe. The General is many times stronger than us, how could anyone be the General's opponent?"
"But now even the General himself said there is both good and bad news!"
Seeing everyone start to discuss again, Zod directly told them, "The good news I want to tell you is that somewhere in the Universe, we still have seven million compatriots who have survived."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, then erupted into a thunderous cheer.
Seven million compatriots! One must know that currently, the entire New Krypton barely has ten thousand people.
Immediately, someone asked, "General, where are they now? We will go and bring them back at once."
"This is the bad news I want to tell you: they were miniaturized and taken away by a guy named Brainiac before Krypton's destruction, and later became his collectibles!"
"Moreover, he also secretly played a role in Krypton's destruction."
In an instant, the anger in the hearts of all Kryptonian Warriors was ignited.
"General, please lead us to eliminate that guy!"
"So that guy was involved in Krypton's destruction, and he dared to imprison our compatriots. Unforgivable! I must tear him to shreds."
Zod was very pleased with their performance.
At this point, he turned to his good son beside him and asked, "Hope, can you find Brainiac's lair?"
"Father, I have long since locked onto the location of his main body. As soon as you give the order, we can launch a full-scale attack on him."
Seeing that Zod had no reservations, Hope immediately responded.
"Did you all hear that? Hope has found the enemy's base. So next, you will deal with him for me. This time, anyone who wants to go can go. All participants will receive Super Gene Serums."
Upon hearing this, everyone became thoroughly excited!
Originally, they thought Zod would still only select a few people to fight this time, but they didn't expect him to say that.
A small Brainiac was not even on Zod's radar. The reason he said this was only to once again verify the influence of emotions on the Power Of Faith.
The result made him very satisfied; when all the Kryptonian Warriors were emotionally charged, the Power Of Faith they emitted was even more concentrated.
Moreover, he had another goal, which was to use this opportunity to have everyone promote to Super Genes, so that after the seven million Kryptonian survivors in Kandor City were rescued.
These current individuals would also become their direct leaders.
"Hope, I'm entrusting this matter to you. Your abilities naturally have a counter to him, and that's why he was trying to gather information about you."
"Bring him back. He can serve as your servant."
Listening to Zod's arrangements, Hope immediately nodded and said, "I understand, Father."
The next moment, Hope raised his hand, and endless roars sounded. A Boom Tube immediately appeared, its other end leading directly to Brainiac's lair.
One by one, the battle-ready Kryptonian Warriors immediately rushed into the passage.
