Chapter 833: Gathering of the Alliance (First Update)
Chapter 833: Gathering of the Alliance (First Update)
"They grow up so fast!"
Seeing the billion infants on Krypton all grow into adults and take up the positions assigned by their genes, Jerry finally lifted the time rule he had set on Krypton.
While a day being equivalent to a year was convenient, it also consumed a significant amount of energy. Maintaining such a time differential for a long period was not beneficial for the entire Belle Universe.
"Zod, how is Krypton's development?"
In the highest leader's office on Krypton, Jerry suddenly appeared and asked.
Hearing Jerry's voice, Zod, who looked somewhat aged, was clearly taken aback. After a moment, he nodded with a sigh of relief:
"Thanks to your help, our Kryptonian civilization has recovered significantly over the past thirty years!"
For Jerry, it had only been thirty days since he last visited Krypton to replicate the incubation pods. However, for Krypton, which was under the time rule, thirty years had passed.
The billion Kryptonian babies grew into adults, each possessing complete talents and knowledge for various professions, allowing the Kryptonian civilization to be quickly rebuilt.
However, it was no easy task for Zod and the other iron-blooded warriors.
Their genetic talents did not include any skills related to nursing, childcare, or babysitting.
Raising a billion babies was indeed a Herculean task.
Of course, the main reason it was manageable was that the Kryptonian babies were incredibly resilient, rarely getting injured or sick, and had strong digestive systems, capable of eating anything.
The only issues to handle were bedwetting, defecation, and changing diapers.
"General Zod, it seems like you've undergone some changes!"
Although they had only exchanged a few words, Jerry quickly noticed some differences in Zod.
If the previous Zod was a battle-hardened sword, capable of slaying gods and demons, the current Zod was a sword sheathed, with much less killing intent and aggression.
"Oh, really? I've just been thinking that maybe Jor-El's ideas weren't entirely wrong."
Zod paused, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Previously, he led Kryptonian warriors in battles to protect Krypton. Over the past thirty years, especially the first decade, he transformed from a general into a super dad, taking care of the future of a billion Kryptonians.
This change in role had caused a shift in his inner thoughts.
"Mr. Carmen, is this your first appearance in thirty years because the war is about to begin?"
"Yes, prepare yourself. It should happen within the next few months!"
Jerry nodded.
Zod was not surprised, as this had been the agreed-upon condition from the beginning.
"Every Kryptonian warrior is a seasoned fighter, ready for battle at any moment."
"Good, wait for my signal!"
After bidding farewell to Zod, Jerry left the Belle Universe and returned to Earth with the Mother Box.
He had already thoroughly studied and mastered the Mother Box, and had used it to send a signal to Apokolips. They should soon send Steppenwolf to communicate and transport the Mother Box.
Steppenwolf did not need the Kryptonian army, but Darkseid, after dealing with Steppenwolf, would require the Kryptonian army.
Nighttime in Gotham City, at the Wayne family's large estate.
"Barara energy, hune la, fairy transformation!"
"Gonara, god of darkness, uhu la, dark magic transformation!"
With these two incantations echoing in the bedroom, the couple, dressed in Batman and Catwoman's combat suits, leaped from the balcony and onto the rooftops, ready to begin their nightly activities.
However, before they could leave the Wayne estate, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
"Selina, Bruce, it's been a long time!"
"Jerry!"
Seeing Jerry's figure, Selina and Bruce both wore expressions of pleasant surprise.
Since the day Jerry left the hotel, they hadn't seen him again, only catching glimpses of him on TV defeating the Kryptonians alongside Superman to save the world.
After that, Superman's news was frequent, but Jerry's appearances were few and far between.
"Earth is in trouble, I need your help!"
Jerry looked at Selina and Bruce, his expression serious.
Selina and Bruce exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.
The next day, inside the Washington Museum, Wonder Woman, who was carefully restoring a medieval suit of armor, suddenly heard the museum's female guide calling out:
"Diana, the handsome man who came to see you the other day is back. He said he's waiting for you at the coffee shop across the street."
"It seems it's about to begin!"
Diana put down her tools, her face showing a serious expression.
At the Daily Planet headquarters in Metropolis.
A pretty blonde receptionist walked into the reporter's office area and called out:
"Clark, are you there? There's a man named Jerry looking for you. He says he has a major news story to tell you!"
"Alright, I'll be right out."
Clark adjusted his glasses and said to his colleague, Lois:
"Can you tell the editor I need a couple of days off?"
"Be careful!"
Lois nodded, her voice tinged with concern.
Clark smiled and patted Lois's head:
"Don't worry, you know how strong I am. Plus, Jerry is with me."
In a deserted warehouse near Central City's train station.
Barry Allen had just opened the warehouse door when a figure stood up from the sofa inside.
"Hello, Barry Allen, my name is Jerry Carmen, but you can call me Mr. Magic!"
"Oh my God, I'm meeting Mr. Magic!"
Barry's face lit up with surprise and excitement.
Jerry snapped his fingers, and immediately, a luxurious pizza appeared in his hand.
"Got some time to chat?"
"Of course, I have time!"
Barry nodded eagerly.
The Flash, Barry Allen, is a superhero in the DC universe who is even more powerful than Superman. Despite his young age, immature personality, and lack of extensive combat experience, he can reverse the flow of time across the entire universe with his Speed Force, which is quite extraordinary.
Jerry can also manipulate time, but he dares not use it in the DC universe, as it could create time branches and cause unnecessary trouble. Instead, he usually freezes time in a specific area or makes minor time adjustments, which is safe.
At a military base outside Metropolis.
General Swanwick, taken aback by Jerry's sudden appearance, asked:
"Mr. Carmen, what brings you to my base?"
"Martian Manhunter, the Mother Box is showing unusual activity. Steppenwolf and Darkseid might be coming to Earth. Will you join us?"
Jerry smiled at General Swanwick.
General Swanwick took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly:
"Alright, I'll join you."
