Brainiac had naturally heard Zod's name long ago, as the large-scale operation involving hundreds of Green Lanterns was quite attention-grabbing in the Universe.
However, the subsequent results of the Green Lantern Corps' battle were suppressed by the Guardians of the Universe, and few knew the true inside story.
But even without explicit explanation, the continued existence of New Krypton after that battle was enough to infer the outcome.
It was from that time onward that the name Kryptonian General Zod entered the sights of various cosmic powers.
However, considering that even the original Krypton had been destroyed, a mere group of Kryptonian survivors naturally failed to attract much attention.
He was also aware that Kryptonians bathing in yellow sunlight would activate their super talents, but he had never expected them to be this powerful.
What Brainiac found even more unexpected was that the God of Machines, whom he deeply feared, actually referred to that Kryptonian General as father.
"If even these ordinary Kryptonians are already so powerful, then how terrifying must this General Zod be?"
At this moment, Brainiac was truly astonished from the bottom of his heart!
Then he suddenly remembered the message he received before his consciousness transfer: an Apokolips fleet had appeared in Sector 2184.
Connecting this with the fact that these Kryptonians had previously been transported to him via Apokolips's distinctive boom tube, it led him to speculate whether that Apokolips fleet had also been annihilated!
"Lord Hope, we have discovered a mechanical lifeform with our Kryptonian symbol among the mechanical legion."
Just then, a Super Kryptonian Warrior flew over, carrying a robot with an S-shaped symbol on its chest.
Based on the information they inherited from the Kryptonian database, they determined that this symbol was once the family crest of the House of El on Krypton.
However, this robot had now lost consciousness, preventing them from knowing its specific identity.
Seeing this, Brainiac quickly explained, "His name is Zo-El, a Kryptonian who survived the Great Kryptonian Explosion."
"My reconnaissance robots found him in a damaged escape pod. His will to survive was so strong that it surprised even me, but his physical body was completely unable to maintain vital signs."
"Therefore, I preserved his brain using technological means and then custom-built a mechanical body for him."
Although Brainiac spoke as if he had no choice but to save him, in reality, he merely wanted to use him as an experimental subject for his biological modification project.
After listening to him, Hope flew to Zo-El, lightly touched his head, and a surge of Divine Power instantly awakened him, along with his suppressed self-consciousness.
"Where is this place? Why has my body become like this?"
Zo-El, upon regaining consciousness, first looked around in confusion, then noticed the abnormality of his body... Meanwhile, while Hope and the others were dealing with Brainiac, Zod once again entered the System space, preparing to use his three drawing opportunities.
Ever since he learned that the System could be upgraded, he had been very much looking forward to the changes that might occur after the upgrade.
"Start the draw!"
As the pointer slowly stopped, a smile appeared on Zod's face, because the pointer at least did not point to those low-martial, low-magic, or even no-magic ordinary worlds.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Darklops Zero. This item comes from the Ultra Galaxy Legend Gaiden world, a mechanical giant created by Galactic Emperor Belial, mimicking Ultraman Zero.]
"A technological creation from another Universe, and a mechanical replica of Ultraman Zero. It certainly has research value."
Upon hearing the prompt, Zod immediately thought to himself.
However, when the tens of meters tall mechanical giant appeared in the System space, he noticed something was off: "That thing on him, I remember it being called the Dark Dictator Gear, right?"
At this moment, Zod looked at the mechanical giant, which was still wearing a set of armor, and certain memories were immediately awakened.
"In that case, this mechanical Zero has already undergone a second modification by the Salome Aliens!"
Instantly, his consciousness passed through the mechanical Zero's body, seeing the dimensional core located in its chest.
"It's not one of those later mass-produced grunts; this is even more valuable!"
Zod was quite satisfied with this. Perhaps he could obtain information about the light energy used by Ultraman from this mechanical Zero.
"Good, continue the draw!"
Drawing a valuable item on the first try was good news for Zod.
As the pointer spun again and slowly stopped, the prompt sound rang out once more:
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Compound V Baby Experiment Subject Five. This character comes from The Boys world and is Homelander, the future leader of The Seven. Please treat him well.]
This time, upon hearing the System's prompt, Zod couldn't help but be stunned, then blurted out, "What, System, are you now even engaging in inter-world human trafficking?"
Although he had drawn a Flerken last time, that thing at least had the appearance of an orange cat, making it quite suitable as a pet.
But he never expected that this time, the System would go insane and directly steal a child from another world for him.
Unfortunately, in the face of his accusations, the System began to play dead, making no response.
Looking at the fair and tender baby in front of him, Zod fell into contemplation: "Is this young Azu? He looks quite cute."
Although in that world, this child would grow up to be an absolute super pervert, the more significant reasons were actually the influence of his external environment.
From his childhood experiences, those experimental researchers never treated him as a human being.
After all, he wasn't Superman, who, despite being affected in the Flashpoint event and imprisoned as an experiment by the military for twenty or thirty years, could still maintain his inherent good nature.
Growing up in that kind of environment, it would be strange if his psychology were normal.
"Sigh! Since the System has stolen you, then grow up peacefully in this world. At least you can escape your original fate!"
Growing up on a planet full of Supermen, Azu should no longer go astray!
"Continue the draw!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining World Rune — Resolve. This item comes from the League of Legends world and contains the power of life and destruction.]
Looking at the green crystal inscribed with mysterious runes that appeared on the wheel, Zod felt two extremely contradictory yet intertwined Law powers within it.
"The power of life and destruction, huh? It will be a perfect aid for my Breakthrough."
Having entered the Realm of the Dao-Slaying King, current Cultivation is more about enlightenment.
And this World Rune just so happens to contain two powerful Law powers. As long as he thoroughly refines it, Zod believes he can definitely charge into the next Realm!
