62. The Fall of Zod.
General Zod's eyes gradually lost their madness and turned somewhat dazed. Suddenly, a green flame ignited on Kara's body. It was a deep, eerie color, more like a green firefly. It wasn't just on Kara; across the entire battlefield, wherever General Zod's gaze fell, green flames flickered to life one by one, continuously emerging and spreading.
In Zod's disbelieving eyes, the entire world began to change. The chaotic battlefield twisted and spun as if the reflection in water had been disturbed by the wind. Amidst the shimmering light, the world's illusion started to move.
Disjointed lights and shadows came from all directions, not only disrupting Zod's vision but also making it hard for his brain to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Looking down, General Zod was horrified to find that Kara had somehow turned into Faora, and in her dead, unseeing eyes, he could still see the confusion and pain she felt before dying.
In the desolate sky, green mist slowly descended, carrying unidentified debris, like an eerie snowfall. General Zod sat motionless on the ground, holding Faora's body.It all felt like a dream, or a fragmented reality.Amidst the scattering dust, green flames rose, and a black figure merged from the blur. He walked out from the man-high flames, the tip of a black umbrella touching the ground first.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The black-clad figure spoke.
"You didn't really think we had the ability to spread the poison gas across the entire battlefield, did you?"
General Zod had no idea what was happening or dared to think about what he had just experienced. He just lowered his head, looking at Faora's lifeless body.
"We needed a lot of time to develop the poison gas, which couldn't be achieved with the help of a speedster. So, how could we produce such a large amount of poison in one night, let alone several large missiles? But we didn't need to. It was enough to poison you."
"You shouldn't be surprised because this was specially prepared for you. Kryptonians are indeed strong, but fortunately, I have something to weaken your resistance to the poison gas. Although you have strong resistance and adaptability to poison, there is always a first time."
"This must be the first time you've felt like this, right? Originally, it was called fear toxin, but now I've decided to rename it 'Mad Apostle.'"
The figure in the bird-beak mask gracefully walked up to General Zod. The glass surface reflected Zod's miserable state, and the mask seemed mocking. After a pause, Alex continued.
"I'm really surprised at how terrifying your full power is, to the point where the entire Kryptonian army isn't your match."
General Zod's vision gradually cleared. In front of him, all the humans had disappeared, leaving countless dead Kryptonian soldiers scattered around, one even having his heart removed.
"I haven't decided on a codename yet, but my bat friend gave me a nice name, Wraith Raven."
Alex gripped the umbrella handle and slowly drew out a black dagger inlaid with green gems, creating an eerie beauty.
"Of course, you can also call me—The Deathbringer."
With that, Alex swung the dagger fiercely at General Zod's head.
Sensing the incoming attack, General Zod's ears twitched. He reacted instantly, leaping up, but to everyone's shock, he didn't go after Alex or even glance at the incoming black dagger. Instead, he turned and grabbed at the air.
Swoosh!
In an instant, a tangible sensation met General Zod's hand. At the same time, a shattering sound echoed through the air. He gripped his hand tightly, feeling the solid object in his grasp. Though he couldn't see it, he knew he had indeed blocked the attack.
As Zod had guessed, the black dagger aiming for his head passed through his body, while the masked figure holding the dagger froze mid-swing. In Zod's hand, a black dagger appeared amidst the distorted light and shadow. The blade, hilt, and the hand holding it gradually became visible.
Only then did General Zod focus on the figure before him, but to his surprise, his X-ray vision couldn't penetrate the bird-beak mask.
"Impressive, General Zod."
A slightly hoarse voice came from under the mask, sounding a bit frustrated.
But General Zod didn't care. He tightened his grip on the dagger, feeling the opponent's weak strength, and his inner rage erupted. If anything could anger him more than seeing his deputy Faora decapitated, it was being told that everything was an illusion and that he had personally killed his deputy in his quest for vengeance.
Zod dared not recall the earlier scene, nor imagine how Faora and the other Kryptonians reacted to his rampage. It's unimaginable that as a seasoned warrior, he now feared a memory.
But now, Zod had to suppress those thoughts, knowing what he must do. As he said, everything was for Krypton's revival, no matter the sacrifice.
Now that he could distinguish reality, it was time for the instigator to pay the price!
With that thought, Zod's killing intent could no longer be contained.
"I've caught you."
Facing Zod's threat and terrifying killing intent, Alex showed no panic.
From under the mask came a mocking voice.
"No, I've caught you."
