“The Kryptonian spacecraft has moved!”
“A large number of small aircraft have been deployed, and the number exceeds 3,000!”
“They’re spreading across countries all over the world!”
…
Reports sounded one after another, while images were projected onto the giant central screen.
Countless small Kryptonian aircraft pierced through the atmosphere like a massive meteor shower, spreading across the entire planet!
Launching such a large-scale operation without warning…
Was basically a declaration of war.
Fury’s face darkened, and everyone else looked serious too.
“What are you waiting for?” Tony shouted angrily.
“They already declared war!
And you’re still…”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
…
Those small aircraft fired beams of light that struck major city centers around the world, destroying famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, and St.
Basil’s Cathedral!
“Motherfker!” Fury cursed furiously.
“Activate Level One wartime status!
All agencies are authorized to fire freely!
Shoot down every single intruder!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
Those who could fly, like Kara and Homelander, immediately rushed toward the nearest battle zones.
The others ran toward the deck to board Quinjets.
“Hill, assign battle zones to everyone!”
“Understood!”
Very quickly,
The previously crowded command hall was left with only Marcus and Darcy.
Marcus rubbed his chin as his gaze landed on Maria Hill, the battlefield commander.
Like Sharon,
Hill had that capable agent aura, but with even longer legs.
Combined with her status as commander of the Helicarrier, it gave her an extra sense of authority and challenge.
It made people want to…
Conquer her.
Marcus’s completely undisguised gaze, combined with his obsession with “expanding the race,” made Fury instantly realize what he was thinking.
But Hill was Fury’s right-hand woman, the one who handled most of S.H.I.E.L.D’s core operations.
Compared to Natasha and Sharon, this one was absolutely off-limits!
Fury pretended not to notice and continued staring at the battlefield screen.
Fighter jets from various countries launched one after another, but before they even entered firing range, they were met with waves of attacks from the Kryptonian aircraft.
More than 30% of the fighter fleet was wiped out instantly!
The surviving jets finally broke through the barrage and entered attack range, only to discover in despair that every missile they launched was intercepted and destroyed by beams of light before getting close!
Krypton’s interception technology was completely beyond Earth’s expectations!
After another devastating round of losses,
The remaining pilots decisively chose to use themselves as weapons and launched suicide attacks!
The Kryptonians clearly hadn’t expected humans to fight so fiercely.
Caught off guard, a few Kryptonian aircraft were actually taken down.
But that only worked once.
After the Kryptonians became cautious, pilots from other countries tried copying the tactic, only to discover in despair…
The Kryptonian aircraft could literally dodge at right angles in midair!
Besides the superior performance of the aircraft itself, the Kryptonians also had bodies strong enough to withstand the insane pressure changes.
Humans would’ve blacked out instantly, while the Kryptonians only felt slightly uncomfortable.
The humans couldn’t even touch them!
With 3,000 Kryptonian aircraft overwhelming the battlefield, the combined military forces of Earth were completely suppressed and could only watch helplessly as the invaders wreaked havoc!
At humanity’s most desperate moment…
Kara, Homelander, and the first wave of superheroes finally arrived!
Just like the Kryptonian aircraft had crushed Earth’s fighter jets,
Kara relied on her superior mobility and strength to directly rip apart Kryptonian aircraft one after another, as long as she wasn’t surrounded.
Although Homelander, Tony, and the others were weaker in comparison, they still had methods of taking down the Kryptonian aircraft.
Once large numbers of Quinjets joined the battle, the situation was finally brought under control.
Seeing this,
Fury, Hill, and the others secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Maybe…
These aliens weren’t impossible to deal with after all?
…
Marcus looked somewhat surprised.
The number of troops Zod brought this time was ridiculous!
There had only been a handful in the movie.
Had he gathered survivors from the Phantom Zone?
“Don’t celebrate too early,” Marcus reminded them.
“Earth’s gravity is much lower than Krypton’s.
Every one of these Kryptonians is basically a mini Superman.”
Fury’s expression instantly changed!
Without waiting for orders,
Hill immediately switched the screen view to the ground battlefield.
Just as Marcus said,
The crashes of the Kryptonian aircraft barely caused any serious injuries.
One Kryptonian after another crawled out of the wreckage and continued carrying out their missions, slaughtering civilians and destroying city infrastructure without restraint!
For a moment,
The entire planet fell into chaos and smoke, while countless ordinary people died.
Police, military forces, and even special operations units…
Couldn’t even break the Kryptonians’ defenses.
Meanwhile, the Kryptonians tore through defensive lines like monsters and casually massacred people everywhere they went!
The battlefield was horrifyingly bloody!
However…
Even after seeing all this, Fury’s expression still didn’t change much.
Because he believed the super team he had assembled would eventually turn the tide.
But the reality…
Would it really be that simple?
Manhattan, New York.
Homelander returned to his base first and ran into a Kryptonian who had torn through the army’s defense line and rushed toward civilians.
But instead of following up, he turned toward the rescued civilians and showed a bright smile.
“Don’t worry, I have…”
“Whoosh!”
The Kryptonian that had just been kicked away slammed headfirst into Homelander, smashing him through a building before sending him crashing onto the street.
Unlike Homelander, this Kryptonian had no habit of showing off.
His fists came down like rain, pinning Homelander to the ground and beating him mercilessly!
No matter how Homelander struggled, he realized in horror that he couldn’t break free!
Damn it!
A random Kryptonian was as strong as him?
This was insane!
In desperation, Homelander pushed himself to the limit, focusing all his power into his eyes as he fired a massive heat vision blast!
He melted the Kryptonian’s arm and blew away half of his head.
A desperate counter-kill.
But…
Homelander himself was completely exhausted and lay there gasping for a long time without moving.
If another Kryptonian showed up now…
He’d really be dead.
“Boom!”
An afterimage crashed down nearby.
It was Wolverine, Logan, who had been slammed into the ground by another Kryptonian.
Logan grabbed the Kryptonian’s wrists with brute force using one hand.
“Boom!”
A punch straight to the head!
Disgusted, Logan pulled his fist back and shook the blood off.
The Kryptonian immediately noticed Homelander, his eyes turning vicious.
You killed a Kryptonian?
Then you can die too!
Under Homelander’s horrified gaze, the Kryptonian stood up and moved in for the kill…
“Slash!”
Blood-red steel claws burst through the Kryptonian’s chest and lifted him into the air, revealing Logan behind him, with half his head still regenerating.
Healing factor!
Even with half his head blown off, he could regrow it.
This was Wolverine’s most broken mutant ability.
Logan tossed the corpse aside and glanced at Homelander.
“Can you still fight?”
Homelander had recovered a bit, and the adrenaline from almost dying let him barely move again.
But he was scared…
Risk his valuable life to protect those ants?
Not worth it!
“I…
I’m pretty badly injured.” Homelander forced out an ugly smile.
“Why don’t you sen…”
“Then stay down.”
Logan rushed off toward the next battlefield without even looking back.
Homelander’s smile froze.
What the hell…
He really didn’t care about him at all?
The moment Logan disappeared around the corner, Homelander immediately flew away at top speed.
He got up decisively, not daring to use his flashy flight anymore, and quietly escaped into the distance.
…
“Hey.” Marcus pointed at the satellite footage and laughed.
“Nick Fury, is this the hero of your planet?”
Fury: (▼ヘ▄#)
He didn’t even have time to question Marcus’s weird nickname for him.
This Homelander…
He was an embarrassment to Earth!
Darcy also looked upset.
After all, she had been a fan of his before…
“We have a situation!”
“The Kryptonian main ship has split into two parts and appeared above the United States and Japan!”
On the screen,
Two separated ships fired enormous energy beams toward the ground, and the shockwaves instantly flattened dozens of kilometers around them!
“Hm?” Marcus raised an eyebrow.
“That thing…”
“You know it?” Fury asked nervously.
“I’m not sure.
Pull up the data and analyze those devices.”
Hill immediately followed Fury’s order.
“It looks like some kind of gravity amplification device.
They’re increasing Earth’s mass!”
“Wow!” Marcus pretended to look pleasantly surprised.
“You guys are unlucky.
That’s a planetary terraforming machine.
They’re turning Earth into a new Krypton.”
Fury’s face darkened instantly!
These bastards wanted to wipe out all life on Earth and rebuild their own homeworld!
At that moment,
Hill walked over quickly and whispered something into Fury’s ear.
“The World Security Council requests your immediate attendance at a meeting.
It’s urgent…”
“No way!” Fury exploded in anger.
“Are those idiots insane?
Don’t think I don’t know what they’re planning!
Nearly 200 cities are under attack right now, and they still want to launch nuclear weapons?
Tell them to stay put and stop causing problems!”
Hill stayed silent.
Fury suddenly turned and stared at Marcus.
When it came to turning things around…
For Earth’s sake, he had no choice but to make sacrifices!
“As long as you stop those lunatics, I’ll introduce you to Hill,” Fury said word by word.
Hill clearly already knew Marcus’s situation.
It was more like…
She had already accepted it.
Compared to Earth’s survival, what was she worth?
But Marcus suddenly lost interest.
A forced relationship just wasn’t satisfying.
Catching them himself felt much better.
Besides…
Hill wasn’t especially strong, so the rewards probably wouldn’t be that high anyway.
No need to rush.
Compared to that…
“He’s here!
Superman!” an agent shouted.
“He’s in Metropolis!
He knocked out a Kryptonian with one punch!
That’s insane!”
“This female Kryptonian is so strong she actually stopped Superman?”
Marcus turned toward the screen.
He saw a female Kryptonian with a cold, proud temperament.
Even though Clark kept hammering her down, she stood back up every single time and continued fighting.
Now that’s interesting.
If he married her, the reward would definitely explode.
Since Clark had already escaped…
Marcus could finally start his own plan.
He looked back at Fury and answered his earlier proposal.
“I’m not some horny idiot who jumps every woman he sees,” Marcus said calmly.
“Change the payment to a collection instead.
Something high-level.”
“No problem!” Fury agreed instantly.
“The collection will absolutely satisfy you!”
At this point, no matter what Marcus asked for, Fury would agree first and think later.
And…
Hill was his right-hand woman.
If she didn’t have to be sacrificed, that was naturally for the best.
Marcus smacked Darcy’s thick butt lightly.
“Stay here and don’t run around.”
“Okay.” Darcy hugged Marcus tightly.
“Come back safe!”
“Relax.
These people can’t kill me.”
After a long French kiss, Marcus blasted through the observation window with Cyclops-style optic beams, then used the Horse Talisman to heal himself once outside.
His target was clear.
Straight to the North Pole.
As for the frontlines?
Smart people use their brains.
Only meatheads rush in headfirst.
When Marcus arrived at the Kryptonian ship again, it had already opened.
The famous General Zod stood inside.
This ship contained Krypton’s last Genesis Chamber, the key to reviving Krypton using the Codex.
The moment Marcus stepped inside the massive ship, an afterimage charged toward him!
“Om!”
The time-stop field expanded instantly, freezing Zod in place with his fist less than ten centimeters from Marcus’s face!
Marcus released Zod’s head, allowing his thoughts to move again.
“I’m not here to fight.
How about giving me ten minutes to talk?” Marcus smiled.
“Let me introduce myself.
I’m from the M78 Nebula, not from this planet.”
Zod’s face looked ugly.
He had been defated that easily?
Right now he couldn’t move at all.
If Marcus wanted to kill him…
“Whatever you want to say, release me first!”
“As you wish.”
Marcus shrank the time-stop field until it covered only a thin layer around his body.
That way,
Any attack entering the area would instantly be frozen by stopped time.
“I’m here to negotiate a deal.” Marcus smiled.
“I quite like this planet, so I can’t just watch you destroy it…”
“You want to stop Krypton’s resurrection?” Zod glared at him.
“Don’t even think about it!
No one…”
“Om!”
The time-stop field expanded again.
Even though Zod had already prepared to retreat, he still wasn’t as fast as Clark and got frozen thirty meters away.
Marcus casually walked over and spread his hands helplessly.
“You’re too impatient.
At least hear me out first.” Marcus sighed.
“Fine.
I’ll release you.
But first, order the Kryptonians around the world to stop.
Whether we fight or not can wait until after we finish talking.”
What choice did Zod have?
He couldn’t fight.
He couldn’t escape.
He couldn’t even move.
But still…
“Don’t even think about threatening me with my life to stop Krypton’s revival!” Zod roared madly.
“Kill me if you want!
I will never stop trying to restore Krypton!”
