Chapter 364: The Phantom Zone of God's Consciousness
"Your powers are disappointing, Zedd."
In outer space, Bant grabbed Zod's collar and lifted him up.
Just a bunch of Kryptonians who have not been exposed to the yellow sun, they are really not a big deal in Bant's opinion.
The Solar Storm he transformed into was the most perfect Kryptonian after optimization. He even replicated all the data in the Central Book.
If Clark contains all the possibilities of Kryptonians, then Bant can reach the limits of Kryptonians in every aspect.
In comparison, the mobility and powerful strength given to Zod by the armor he wears seem insignificant.
But this cannot conceal the excellent performance of the armor.
If it weren't for this set of armor, Zod and his gang wouldn't even be qualified to fight Clark. The Kryptonians who have not been exposed to the light of the yellow sun are only a few times stronger physically than the people on Earth.
A set of armor allowed them to erase the huge gap.
Judging from the fighting power they demonstrated in the movie, they are already overwhelmingly powerful compared to other heroes.
At least when facing the attack of Batman, two Flashes and Supergirl, Zod and his crew were able to completely crush them.
Unfortunately, his enemy is not the Flash, but Bant Parker!
"Attack with all your strength!"
Zod had not yet lost consciousness. He was furious, with veins bulging on his forehead. After hearing his words, Fiora, who had been thrown away with him, immediately tensed her body and rushed towards Bant like a rocket.
The ability of that suit of armor allows them to move freely even in outer space without gravity.
However, before the others arrived, Bant's attack arrived first.
Fiora had no time to react before Bant's side kick hit her neck, turning her into a cosmic windmill.
If Bant hadn't held back, this kick would have knocked Fiora's head off.
And he also discovered the weaknesses of Fiora and the others.
"It seems that although this suit has increased your strength and speed, your reaction and senses have not been improved much."
Originally, with the strength displayed by these Kryptonians, it was impossible for them to be kicked away without even noticing Bant's kick. Even if they couldn't keep up with the action, they would at least have the intention to block it. But just now, when Fiora was kicked away, she had no ability to react to Bant's extraordinary speed.
This is enough to prove that the Bant's strength and speed far exceed the sensory enhancements given to them by the Kryptonian armor.
In fact, it is true.
In the movie, after Fiora's mask was broken, a large amount of information flooded into her brain, so much that she was unable to process it for a while, leading to her ultimate defeat.
However, this weakness does not mean much to Bant.
He can crush the opponent with just his numbers, without using any mechanisms. It can be said that it completely corresponds to the saying: Use your super power!
Of course.
The purpose of becoming a Kryptonian is to be able to crush others with numerical superiority without restraint. Although Bant has many heroes who are more powerful than Superman at this stage, becoming Superman can be regarded as satisfying his childhood fantasy.
With a few punches, he smashed Fiora into the crust of a barren planet, and then he backhandedly blew up Zod's armor.
Zod tried his best and wanted to stab Bant's eyes with the dagger, but the tip of the knife shot sparks in front of Bant's pupils and then broke directly.
"Impossible!" Zod was stunned.
How could someone be this strong?
"In ancient times, Danzo stabbed Susanoo with a kunai, and now General Zod stabbed Superman with a knife." Bant shook his head helplessly, "Who taught you to hit Superman like this?"
Originally, Bant would not be so arrogant. After all, there was a precedent in the movie where Superman was scratched by a robot on a Kryptonian spaceship.
However, he later analyzed it and found that although Krypton's weapons were sharp, they were not sharp enough to hurt him easily. The reason why Clark was injured in the movie was because the remaining air in the spacecraft contained trace amounts of kryptonite, which inadvertently weakened Clark's body.
As he spoke, he pinched Zod's helmet with one hand. It is said that each of Spider-Man's fingers has several tons of strength. For Superman, this number should be magnified thousands of times. Crushing a helmet is much easier than crushing a can.
Under the pressure of tremendous force, Zod's facial features were deformed, his eyeballs bulged, and he looked like a frog.
Bant looked up and found that Clark had basically ended the battle.
Clark has been exposed to the sun for nearly thirty years. In fact, his superpowers have grown to an unimaginable level. However, because he has been suppressing his own power, he is like an elephant that has been bound since childhood. Even though he has grown up, he dare not break free easily.
But after sparring with Bant, his strength was almost fully stimulated, even pulling the earth's crust was no problem. His learning ability was also very strong. In the process of sparring with Bant, he has changed from a numerical idiot who didn't know how to fight to a Kryptonian warrior who is good at fighting.
The spaceship that Zod and his crew were on was riddled with holes. Bant took the two captives, Zod and Fiora, back to their own spaceship, and Clark also brought two other Kryptonians over.
Bant took off all their armor and threw it on the ground, then half-knelt down and spoke to Zod.
"Can we talk now?"
The four Kryptonians were all beaten up, and without their armor they had no power to resist. Bant took a glance and saw that Fiora had a good figure. The black combat suit outlined her tight and powerful body.
Her face was quite delicate, but unfortunately one of her eyes was blackened by Bant.
Bant quickly looked away. Fiora was pretty good, but he didn't like her tomboyish short hair.
"We have nothing to discuss with race traitors!"
Although Zod was already a prisoner, he was still very tough. He stared at Clark with anger, as if he wanted to pull out his tendons, skin him, and eat him alive.
He had no complaints about losing to Bant, he was just surprised at how powerful Bant was.
But he couldn't accept that Clark stood on the side of the Earthlings. This was a betrayal!
"No Kryptonian would do such a thing! You are bringing shame to the House of El!" he roared, feeling unworthy for his dead friend.
Although he killed Jor-El, he was sad about his death in his heart. But now he was even more sad that Jor-El's son actually chose to betray his race and beat them all up together with a guy who came out of nowhere, just for those low-level earthlings!
You are wrong, Jor-El!
I am right!
The anger in Zod's heart could not be calmed down.
He really wanted to dig up Jor-El's coffin, pull out his body, and tell him in person what kind of evil child he had fathered!
As expected, natural reproduction is simply a low-level and backward mistake!
If the genetic program was set in advance according to the Central Codex, then even if Kal-El was lost in the universe for tens of thousands of years, he would not be able to betray Krypton!
"I can't let you hurt the people on Earth. This is the bottom line." Clark was troubled. "We know you want to rebuild Krypton. We can help, but the reconstruction of Krypton cannot be built on the corpses of people on Earth or other planets. And the new Krypton should not decide the future of newborns before they are born like before."
"This is not civilization, this is just procedure."
"And then breed thousands and thousands of evil offspring like you?" Zod sneered. He had no interest in what Clark said about the future of Krypton.
Zod is a stubborn person.
He only recognized the Krypton in his memory. If it was not the Krypton of the past, then even if he cultivated countless Kryptonians like Clark, in his opinion, he would not be able to save his homeland after all.
Thinking of this, he looked at Bant sideways again.
"It seems that this monster is the second-generation Kryptonian you created with the Central Codex? Pathetic thing, without any worth or honor!"
???
Bant kicked him directly in the face.
"Negotiation failed, kill him."
He clapped his hands and stood up.
Bant was not too disappointed that he couldn't make Zod and his men surrender.
Anyway, they were not needed to rebuild Krypton. Bant gave them a chance to see Krypton reappear in the universe just for Clark's sake.
Since the other party doesn't appreciate it, he doesn't care.
Clark heard this and had a stomachache on his face: "There's no need to kill them... maybe we can lock them up..."
He didn't have a principle of not killing, but Clark still felt resistant to killing a life, especially since Zod in front of him was one of the few Kryptonians left in the world.
Before this, he had always hoped to get along with the other party.
"Can we put them back into the black hole?"
"You mean the Phantom Zone?"
Bant stood up, walked to the control panel of the spacecraft and turned on the computer.
When he invaded the Zod spaceship, he had already copied all the data on the spaceship using the shapeshifter's body, and the wreckage of the spaceship was still there, so he could repair it at any time.
"Create another phantom zone? That's no problem, but are you sure you want to lock them up?" Bant turned his head to look at Clark and asked.
"What if they get out again?"
"Then I will kill them." Clark said resolutely.
Although he is kind, he is not as naive as Peter.
"It's up to you. It's your problem anyway." Bante was not interested, but still agreed to help Clark create a new phantom zone.
He first used the power of the Shapeshifter to merge the two spaceships into one, turning it into an old, broken black and green ship (not really broken), then integrated the information from the Phantom Zone, and then turned into a little warrior to start designing.
Clark was very curious when he saw him turned into a small gray frog.
"Is this your alien hero too? He doesn't look like he has much strength. What are his super powers?"
Bant glanced at him with his horizontal pupils and said, "I'm more good at using my brain."
After that, he pieced together his thoughts under Clark's surprised gaze, and then took out a pair of glasses: "Kryptonian technology can distort people's cognition and make them unrecognizable. If you plan to live a peaceful life, you should use it."
Clark took the glasses in surprise: "If my eyesight wasn't good enough, I would have thought you were performing magic."
"That's just the beginning. If I had a clever spirit, I could build you a spaceship in just a few minutes."
Making glasses is just a trial run, the Phantom Zone is the real deal. However, Bant has already understood the principles of the Phantom Zone, so it is not difficult to do. The problem lies in the Phantom Zone itself.
The more he learned about the Phantom Zone, the more Bant realized that there was something unusual about this prison.
"The Phantom Zone is not the realm of ancient Krypton."
"You're right, that's the space I discovered." At some point, Jor-El's intelligent program appeared behind them, or rather, he had actually been in the spaceship all along.
"Krypton's ruling area covers 28 galaxies, but the Phantom Zone is not among them. I discovered it by accident. The life that enters the Phantom Zone is like a living ghost. They are immortal, immortal, and do not need to eat. They can even observe things in the universe, but they cannot communicate and interact in physical form and can only rely on telepathy." Jor-El said.
It was simply an eternal torture.
Once imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, it is like being a vegetative person with only consciousness. You can sense everything, but you cannot move even a finger.
"What if he gets an itch somewhere?" Clark asked.
He thought that if the prisoner had athlete's foot or something like that, it would be the most terrible torture.
"Theoretically, the fungus can't move once it enters the Phantom Zone." Joe-El told him not to worry.
But Bant certainly didn't think about the prisoners.
Something else made him feel awkward: "Did you know that the Phantom Zone is closely related to the gods?"
In a sense, Bant himself is already a god. At least among his many alien heroes, there are countless gods. Therefore, even though he is in the form of a little warrior at the moment, he is very sensitive to the breath of gods.
"This space is the manifestation of the consciousness of a certain god. It is precisely because of this power that it is not controlled by the laws of physics."
"Is there such a thing?" Jor-El was very surprised, and then he said something that surprised Bant as well, "I don't know. I'm a Kryptonian scientist, not a Kryptonian wizard. If I were a wizard, maybe I could detect something unusual?"
Bant: ???
"There are wizards on Krypton?"
His frog face opened its eyes wide in surprise.
Having only watched a few DC movies, he thought that all Kryptonians were weird warriors with low magic resistance.
"So the Phantom Zone can't be used anymore?"
"That's not the case. It doesn't affect its use. But I don't know if it's a good thing to be related to a god." Bant shook his head.
But he thought about it and decided that there was probably no need to worry. After all, Superman and Batman were the core of the DC Universe. With them around, what could a mere god matter?
If you dare to come to Earth, I will immediately pull your head off and use it as a toilet!
Besides, having external enemies is actually a good thing, so that Batman doesn't have to think about making plans from A to Z to kill his own people every day.
