Chapter 812: General Zod's Arrival (First Update)
Chapter 812: General Zod's Arrival (First Update)
Two days later, in the evening.
Jerry was meditating in his hotel room, absorbing magic power, when the TV suddenly turned on, and a choppy voice began to come from it.
"You are not alone, Kal-El. I am General Zod."
"Finally!"
Hearing General Zod's threats to humanity, demanding that they hand over Clark or face war, Jerry's face broke into a smile.
Now, he didn't need to do anything. All he had to do was wait for the Magic Mirror to call for help.
Taking the initiative was impossible. Experience had shown that while preemptively eliminating a threat before it began could earn some red stars, the number of red stars obtained was far greater when the crisis had already reached its peak.
This was a conclusion he had drawn from multiple experiments in his recent pursuit of the maximum number of red stars.
For example, the number of red stars awarded for stopping a thief at different stages—when the thief was just preparing, during the act, and just before success—varied. The most red stars were awarded for stopping the thief just before success.
However, out of principle, he sometimes couldn't wait until the last moment, as doing so might result in unnecessary casualties. While he needed red stars, he wasn't willing to sacrifice a large number of lives to get them.
His current guideline was to obtain a large number of red stars without causing any casualties.
The next morning, almost all the news on TV was about the aliens' threats to humanity, broadcast via satellite signals the previous day.
Most people's opinions were that the alien who had been hiding on Earth for 33 years—Superman, Clark—should surrender to General Zod to avoid a war with the aliens.
No one wanted to wage a planet-wide war with a clearly superior civilization, and no one wanted to see their loved ones die.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that General Zod had no intention of sparing Earth. Finding Clark was only because he possessed the genetic template of all Kryptonian life. If Kryptonian civilization was to be restored, Clark's body was an essential part, regardless of whether he was alive or dead.
"If he truly had no ill intentions, he should come forward and take responsibility. If he refuses, we must take action. I know that Lois Lane from the Daily Planet knows this person's identity. I have already informed the Fbi, and I believe they will take action."
In the news, a third-rate website editor named Woodburn was speaking confidently.
When Lois first returned from the North Pole, she wanted to publish the story about the alien spaceship and the aliens, but the Global Daily's editor-in-chief refused. In a fit of anger, she handed her manuscript to Woodburn, the editor of a third-rate newspaper that specialized in rumors. Now, it had become the only breakthrough for the human government.
"Hello, Mr. Jerry. I'm in trouble. Can you help me?"
Jerry turned off the TV and pulled out the Magic Mirror, which was glowing with a magical light. It was Lois using the Magic Mirror he had left with Superman to send a distress call.
After Jerry left that day, Lois and Superman had a long conversation. Superman shared his story, and Lois decided to abandon her plan to expose his existence to the world.
Given his own immense power and the half-belief in Jerry's sudden appearance and departure, Superman left the magic mirror with Lois Lane when they parted ways. If anything were to happen, Lois could seek help from the mysterious Magic Master Jerry.
"Wait a moment."
Jerry put away the magic mirror and, using its positioning, teleported into Lois's room.
Seeing Jerry appear instantly, Lois, who was standing by the window, was startled at first. Then, she pointed anxiously to the window.
"Fbi cars are already parked downstairs. They're about to come and arrest me. What should we do now?"
Lois now fully believed Jerry's prophecy. Earth was indeed in crisis, and it was indeed related to Clark.
"Miss Lois, we are Fbi agents. Please open the door immediately!"
Just as Lois finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
Seeing this, Jerry reassured her:
"Stay calm, don't worry. I'll take you to Clark first to see what he thinks."
"Boom!"
The door was violently kicked open, and a dozen armed Fbi agents, wielding tranquilizer guns, stormed in, surrounding Jerry and Lois.
"Raise your hands! Raise your hands now!"
"This is a lady's room. Your violent behavior is far from gentlemanly."
Looking at the surrounding Fbi agents, Jerry snapped his fingers, and a magic beam instantly shot out, freezing all the agents in place one by one.
"Let's go."
It was only then that Lois, still recovering from the shock of the broken door, nodded to Jerry.
Jerry placed his hand on Lois's shoulder, and the two vanished instantly.
At the same time, the commander in the command vehicle downstairs, who was directing the operation, realized there was no response over the earpiece. He immediately grabbed his weapon and led the remaining agents up to the building.
When they reached Lois's room and saw the agents standing motionless like statues, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"My God, what is going on here!"
"General, they are all alive and conscious, but they can't speak or move. It's as if they are restrained by some invisible force. This is the strangest situation I've ever encountered."
Half an hour later, in the temporary command center, the world's top scientist, Professor Hamilton, after examining the frozen agents, reported to General Swanwick, pulling at his sparse hair.
"Could it be some kind of alien weapon?"
General Swanwick, after hearing the professor's report, began to speculate. He wondered if the aliens had been in Lois's room and, seeing the Fbi agents burst in, used some mysterious alien weapon.
"Sir, sir, they've all returned to normal!"
Just as General Swanwick was considering how to report the situation to the President, a soldier burst in.
"Quick, bring them all here. I need to understand what exactly happened."
This was the only clue he had to find the alien and prevent a war.
A moment later, General Swanwick stared in disbelief.
"What, you mean the person just snapped his fingers, and you were all frozen in place, then he took Lois Lane and vanished into thin air?"
