Chapter 821: Rebuilding Kryptonian Civilization (Second Update)
Chapter 821: Rebuilding Kryptonian Civilization (Second Update)
After General Zod, it was Steppenwolf and Darkseid.
Steppenwolf was not much of a threat, but Darkseid, who had conquered ten thousand universes and had countless followers, was a different story.
This guy, who bore a resemblance to Thanos, was far more powerful than Thanos.
Thanos had only wreaked havoc in one universe, while this guy had already destroyed ten thousand universes.
According to the information found by the main soul in the Marvel world, Darkseid should be the most powerful of the New Gods in the DC universe, the ruler of Apokolips. Not only was he immensely powerful himself, but he also had a large number of strong subordinates due to his conquests.
Jerry made a rough estimate and concluded that Darkseid's strength was not much different from that of the Celestial Supreme, whom he had previously faced.
If it were the Jerry from the Prime Universe, he would have a good chance of winning in a direct confrontation. However, now that he had only recovered to the peak of the Eternal, he was still at a disadvantage.
Even if he managed to eliminate Steppenwolf and obtain a large number of red stars to advance to the Singular Universe Tier, he could only deal with Darkseid. The armies under Darkseid's command would still be a significant problem.
Therefore, Jerry planned to create a powerful Kryptonian army to counter them.
This was the real reason he had not killed Zod and the others.
It wasn't out of sympathy for the Kryptonians' tragic fate or admiration for Zod's spirit in rebuilding Kryptonian civilization. He wasn't a Kryptonian, so he didn't have that much empathy.
The strength of the Kryptonians came from the sun, and Jerry could create a sun himself. Although it was difficult for him to create a sun with his current strength, he had a sun-making machine.
He could use transfiguration to create a massive sun-making machine, similar to how he had done it in the Ring Universe, to quickly produce a sun. Not just one, but ten if needed.
As for the planets required for the development of Kryptonian civilization, that was even less of a problem. He could spend some time creating one in the Bell Universe.
With the sun, planets, and the Codex, all three elements in place, rebuilding Kryptonian civilization and creating a horde of Kryptonian warriors would be a relatively simple task.
Having a Kryptonian army ready to be summoned in the Bell Universe would ensure he could face Darkseid when the time came.
If he could eliminate Darkseid, who had destroyed ten thousand universes, the red stars he would gain would be enormous. If everything went as planned, he might even restore his strength to match that of the main soul after absorbing them.
This would save him a significant amount of time compared to gradually cultivating his strength.
Once he had fully recovered his strength, he could start researching the Mother Box and the Anti-Life Equation on Earth. He was confident that this would yield even greater results.
Gaining a large number of red stars also aligned with the Panel owner's wishes.
To be honest, Jerry had no ill will toward the Panel owner. After all, the Panel had played a significant role in his current achievements.
However, with the unknown intentions of the Panel owner, he needed to keep his options open.
He could be a pawn in the power struggles of the elites, but on the condition that his life was not at risk. Being too obedient often led to a poor outcome for the pawn.
Only by becoming strong enough and having significant value would he avoid being discarded. Once he reached the level of the chess player, he might even become a friend with mutual interests.
Two months later, Jerry, who was staying at the Metropolis Hotel, slowly opened his eyes.
"All magic power has been fully absorbed. It's about time to meet with Zod."
After the battle in Metropolis, Jerry did not enter the Bell Universe. Instead, he stayed at the hotel, converting the large amount of red stars he had harvested to restore his strength.
As expected, the red stars he gained from saving Earth indeed brought his strength back to the peak of the Eternal tier.
Of course, while his magic power level was at the peak of the Eternal tier, his actual strength far exceeded what it was at the peak of the Eternal tier in the Prime Marvel Universe.
This was because his knowledge of magic and understanding of the laws of the universe were now at the peak of the Singular Universe Tier.
In the Bell Universe, Zod, who had fully recovered, stood in the command room of a Kryptonian warship, looking out through the glass at the vast, empty universe with a bewildered expression.
He never expected that the Earthling would be so powerful, easily overwhelming him and the fourteen strongest Kryptonian warriors, and then abandoning them in this unfamiliar universe.
For two months, he tried to pilot the warship to understand their location, but the ship had its own consciousness and refused to be controlled, only telling them to wait patiently until its so-called master finished his business and came to find them.
"General, have some water."
At this moment, Fiarra, the deputy commander who had been freed from the Imperius Curse, saw Zod's worried expression and handed him a cup of water with a concerned look.
Zod took the water and sighed.
"Fiarra, do you really think he is willing to help us rebuild Kryptonian civilization?"
"General, I believe it is true. If he wanted to kill us, he wouldn't have let us go that day and sent us here."
Fiarra shuddered, recalling the unpleasant memories of being mentally controlled and forced to obey the Earthling's commands, then tried to comfort Zod.
"Let's hope so. Otherwise, Kryptonian civilization will truly be destroyed."
Zod sighed again, feeling helpless.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't worry. Since I, Jerry, have promised to help you rebuild Kryptonian civilization, I will certainly do it.
However, I do have my conditions."
Zod turned around to see the Earthling named Jerry Carmen.
"What are your conditions?"
Seeing Jerry appear and hearing him mention conditions, Zod's heart, which had been on edge, eased a bit.
If the Earthling was truly so kind and selfless in wanting to help him, a man who sought to destroy Earth, rebuild Kryptonian civilization, Zod was genuinely concerned about any hidden motives.
"It's simple. I will help you rebuild Kryptonian civilization, but when I need you to fight for me, you must also lead Kryptonian warriors to fight for me!"
Jerry stated his conditions bluntly.
Hearing this, Zod did not immediately agree but asked in return,
"What kind of enemy could a human as powerful as you need to be so cautious about?"
"I won't hide it from you. Do you know Darkseid of Apokolips?"
Jerry smiled and asked.
In the movies, Steppenwolf had said that Earth had no Kryptonians and no Green Lantern Corps, which made it nothing to fear. This implied that Kryptonians and the Green Lantern Corps had definitely clashed with Darkseid's forces before.
"Darkseid!"
Zod's expression changed sharply, clearly recognizing the name.
As the highest military leader of Kryptonian civilization, Zod had indeed heard of Darkseid. During the peak of Kryptonian civilization, they had explored a significant portion of the universe and battled invaders from other universes.
Darkseid's demonic army was one of them.
