Chapter 208: The Girl Actually Has Different Thoughts About Hode?
After all, regardless of whether the Little Girl was doing it out of curiosity or some other motive, she was only a teenager, an outsider living in someone else's home. Furthermore, they weren't even the same species as Hode.
Although it was normal for a girl of her age going through puberty to understand some strange knowledge, regardless, in this situation, having the Little Girl ask him this was somewhat inappropriate.
Moreover, setting aside how Hode would answer this question, if they were really just ordinary friends or any other relationship, no matter how Hode answered the Little Girl's question, it would cause them distress.
And if Hode didn't answer and just skipped it, he knew the Little Girl's personality; she would definitely get to the bottom of it and wouldn't let the issue go so easily.
Just like now, Ara had already helped the Little Girl resolve these issues by explaining for her to Hode.
However, the Little Girl still wouldn't let it go. Clearly, since she had asked the question, she definitely wanted to know the answer. And regarding the answer to this question, no matter in what form Hode told her, it would bring them a certain amount of trouble.
Just as Ara was about to advise the Little Girl not to keep asking, Wanda and the others, having finished cleaning up, looked at the Little Girl and Hode stuck in a stalemate, not knowing how to explain the current situation.
Especially since Hode had been completely bewildered by the Little Girl's question; he would never have imagined that she would actually ask such things.
To break the awkward atmosphere, Wanda spoke up and answered for Hode: "No, we are just very good friends with Big Brother."
"Because of some reasons, we are living together, it's not what you imagine."
Lorna also added a few words: "Yeah, he is not just your Big Brother, he is also my Big Brother. He is so much older than me, how could it be a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"But then again, where did you learn these things?"
The Little Girl naturally didn't hide anything and spoke the truth directly: "Hmm? I saw these things on TV shows. After all, that's how they act in TV shows."
"I thought that because you live together, you were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It turns out that's not the case. Alright then, I misunderstood you."
"But since you aren't his girlfriends, does Big Brother have a girlfriend? Big Brother is such a good and capable person, he should have a girlfriend, right?"
"After all, that's how it's always portrayed in TV shows, so I was just a little curious, I didn't mean anything else by it."
Hearing what the Little Girl said, Hode finally felt relieved and explained: "So that's how it is. Thank you for the compliment, but Big Brother doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
"After all, Big Brother feels that life is already very good right now. As for things like having a girlfriend, I haven't considered it for the time being."
"So that's how it is. Alright then."
Only then did Hode look at the TV in front of him; all of this was the TV's fault.
Now Hode understood that when talking to the Little Girl, he couldn't watch those TV shows with her; he could only let the Little Girl watch cartoons. After all, if a child of her age saw something they shouldn't, her mind would definitely be corrupted.
Chapter 209: I Have Different Feelings for Big Brother
Then he remembered that because Wanda and the others liked to watch those idol dramas, and the Little Girl had been sitting next to them watching these types of shows, that was why she understood this stuff.
Very quickly, Hode found the root cause. As long as he eliminated these types of causes, he could solve these problems.
Although this matter had been perfectly resolved, Ara still had strong opinions about the questions the Little Girl had asked.
Just when Hode and Wanda left temporarily, Ara began to talk to the Little Girl alone.
"Tell Mommy the truth, why did you ask Big Brother that question today? Could it really be just because you saw idol dramas and got a bit curious about these things? Mommy knows you are growing up now and might learn some things unintentionally, but do you know that this question will cause Big Brother and the others some distress?"
"It's good that Big Brother and the others aren't holding it against you, but what if they did care about this matter? Setting aside whether they are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship or not, you need to understand one thing: we are currently staying in Big Brother's home, using Big Brother's things."
"If we are here as guests, then we cannot cause Big Brother any trouble, let alone ask Big Brother such private questions."
"After all, this will make Big Brother unhappy. Didn't you see just now that Big Brother didn't answer your question, and it was Sister Wanda who answered instead?"
"Look, if Sister Wanda hadn't helped Big Brother speak up at that time, what would you have had Big Brother do? I believe that if it were you, you would also be very distressed, right?"
"Now that Big Brother is not here, can you tell me what the real reason you wanted to know is? Why did you suddenly ask Big Brother this question?"
"I am your mother, do you think I can't guess what you are thinking in your heart?"
"If you have anything to say, just tell Mommy directly. Maybe Mommy can help you? Don't you think so!"
The Little Girl looked at Ara in front of her. After all, she was indeed still young and didn't understand much. Plus, now that she only had her mother, it was indeed more appropriate to discuss problems with her mother.
Furthermore, people of their race didn't have that many twists and turns; they surely spent their whole lives just trying to solve these things.
And her mother was an experienced person, so she could definitely guess roughly what she was thinking.
The Little Girl naturally didn't want to hide anything from her mother, and regarding these things, she also wanted to seek help from her mother.
Looking at her mother in front of her, the Little Girl finally spoke: "Mommy, actually I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but about these things, I don't even know when they started."
"Actually, I don't know what's going on. I seem to have different feelings for Big Brother. It seems like every time I look at Big Brother, I have a different feeling."
"Plus, these days I've been watching TV with Sister Wandaand the others, and the shows they watch talk about this. And Big Brother treats me just like they say in those TV shows."
Sure enough, it was exactly as Ara had guessed.
Chapter 210: Big Brother Takes Good Care of Us
Although it couldn't be determined yet whether the Little Girl liked Hode, what could be known was that the Little Girl had developed a hint of affection for Hode.
After all, the Little Girl herself was in a growth stage, plus the TV shows she watched every day also had a certain guiding influence on her.
And she also knew that basically, what Wanda and the others watched were some idol dramas, and many things in these TV shows tended towards romance.
For a Little Girl of this age, it has a significant impact.
He thought again, after all, the Little Girl is still so young, she might not necessarily understand these things.
After the Little Girl asked those questions today, Ararealized that the Little Girl was not as innocent as she had imagined.
Some things had been understood unconsciously.
Ara continued to speak: "It's okay, having such thoughts is normal. After all, Big Brother is indeed very good to us. Mom doesn't blame you for having different thoughts about Big Brother."
"But you need to make one thing clear: in Big Brother's eyes, we are different from ordinary people. Regardless, in Big Brother's eyes, we are like monsters. After all, Big Brother is human, but we are not. And the reason Big Brother is so good to us is only because of your father's sake, do you understand?"
"If it weren't for the fact that Dad went out and happened to meet Hode, plus the relationship between Dad and Hode, Big Brother might not necessarily have taken us in."
"After all, if Big Brother had no relationship with Dad, why would he take us to find Dad later? Don't you think?"
"So, Mom doesn't blame you for having such thoughts, but you must know that some things shouldn't exist."
"After all, Big Brother won't always be this good to us. He is only this good to us for Dad's sake."
"And you've also seen that there are many sisters in Big Brother's home. Isn't Big Brother very good to those sisters too?"
"So this doesn't mean Big Brother is especially good to us; it just means Big Brother is good to everyone."
"As for what you usually see with those sisters from the '705u.com-53 Reading Club', it isn't real. Haven't you noticed that those things only exist on TV? And on TV, aren't they all humans? There wouldn't be a race like ours."
"So, what's on TV cannot be the same as reality."
The Little Girl listened to her mother's words and immediately felt that what her mother said made a lot of sense.
Although it was like that on TV, looking at reality, she and Hode were indeed different species, and there was such a large age gap. In Hode's eyes, he had always treated the Little Girl like a little sister. And after hearing her mother's words, it was clear that the reason Hode was so good to her was just because of her father.
At this moment, the Little Girl suddenly realized, and her thoughts about Hode instantly vanished from her mind.
She had originally thought she had different feelings for Hode, but now it seemed everything was just a matter of course; it was just Hode helping her father take care of them.
She didn't notice that her mother quietly let out a sigh of relief after seeing her reaction.
Her cheeks were flushed with a faint red at some unknown moment.
Chapter 211: A Very Sensible Little Girl
The Little Girl was also very sensible. She spoke up: "So that's how it is, Mom. I understand now. I won't have different thoughts about Big Brother anymore. After all, Big Brother is only treating us this way to help Dad take care of us."
Hearing what the Little Girl said, even Ara did not expect that she would understand so easily.
After all, given the Little Girl's current age, these things were a bit much for her, but the only reason she knew about them was because of what she had seen on TV.
Ara had originally prepared how to explain the following matters to the Little Girl, but seeing how sensible she was, she realized it, so she decided not to continue speaking.
After all, if Ara continued, it might bring a negative influence on the Little Girl.
She and Hode were not from the same World, and furthermore, Hode was the one who killed the Little Girl's father. Regarding this point, if they were to have any relationship, Ara herself might not be able to bear it.
Moreover, if the Little Girl found out about this later, she might completely change her view of Hode.
In order not to let things develop seriously later on, at least this matter must not be known by the Little Girl; at least she should live happily during this period of time.
After all, her father had already left this World and might never appear by the Little Girl's side again.
She didn't know how long this matter could be hidden. After all, the Little Girl was still young. If she told her that her father had gone out to work, she might still believe it for now.
But if she waited until the Little Girl grew up a bit more and hadn't seen her father for a long time, she would definitely have some suspicions about it.
Therefore, at least during the time the Little Girl believed it, let her have a better impression of the organization; at least in her eyes, Hode would still be the image of a good Big Brother.
In Ara's eyes, the reason Hode was so good to them was because he had killed her husband—yes, he felt guilt. If not for this, he might not have brought them back to his residence.
And here, they didn't have to worry about anything, eating and drinking well; every day they just had to enjoy themselves without any worries.
After all, the sister had promised the brother to take good care of his wife and daughter. After all, what he was most worried about before he died was his wife and daughter. If it weren't for those gods, he wouldn't have been separated from his wife and daughter.
But only Hode knew that their separation was not caused by these gods.
It was just that the environment they lived in was too harsh; even if they offered everything to the gods, the gods had no way to change it for them.
All of this—of course, if Hode had been there at the time, he might have been able to use his abilities to change the local environment, allowing them to grow fresh fruits and vegetables.
Changing their living environment, having enough food, at least could have avoided the subsequent series of disasters.
Of course, it was a pity that Hode didn't have that kind of strength; it could only be said that the time Hodetransmigrated over was a bit too late.
And for Gorr, what he cared about was not this; what he cared about was only that those gods had not given him any help. So in Gorr's eyes, all of this was the gods' fault.
And the current Hode treating his wife and daughter well might be because of this reason.
Chapter 212: Little Girl: Big Brother Hode, I'm Sorry~
Soon, Hode returned to the living room with Wanda and the others.
Just as Hode had sat down, the Little Girl walked to Hode's side. At this moment, the Little Girl's expression was somewhat complex; after all, she wanted to apologize to Hode, and having listened to Ara's words, she also felt guilt towards Hode.
The questions she had asked earlier were indeed inappropriate, and it was precisely because of these questions that trouble was brought to Hode. No matter which way you looked at it, what the Little Girl did was problematic.
But just when the Little Girl walked to Hode's side, she didn't know how to say these words.
After all, having seen Hode, the words the Little Girl had originally prepared were suddenly stuck in her throat and couldn't be spoken.
And at this time, Hode, having experienced the Little Girl's questions last time, was a bit afraid, afraid that the Little Girl would ask some strange questions next time.
But even so, Hode still decided to ask the Little Girl.
And Hode had already prepared for the worst; after all, since she had already asked such questions before, what else could be unacceptable later?
Soon, Hode asked the Little Girl: "What's wrong? Are there any more questions?"
"If there are, just ask them all together, so Big Brother can answer you all at once."
But the Little Girl shook her head and still didn't speak; after all, she didn't know how to explain everything that had happened earlier to Hode.
However, since she had already come in front of Hode, no matter what, the words she had thought of earlier had to be spoken.
And the Little Girl's mother, seeing that the Little Girlcouldn't say those words, helped the Little Girl and spoke up: "Didn't you say you had something to tell Big Brother? Hurry and say it, isn't Big Brother back?"
With her mother's help, the Little Girl naturally didn't continue to wait. She gathered her courage and said: "Big Brother, I'm sorry. What happened earlier was my fault. I shouldn't have asked Big Brother such private questions. If it weren't for me, Big Brother wouldn't have been so troubled."
"So I came to apologize to Big Brother. Big Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else by it."
"I was just curious at the time, but after listening to what Mom said, I realized that it wasn't right..."
At this moment, Hode was a bit puzzled. After all, regarding the previous question, although he was truly incredulous when the Little Girl asked it.
It did indeed cause him trouble, as no matter how he answered at the time, it wouldn't have been appropriate. If Wanda hadn't spoken up to help him resolve the issue, he wouldn't have known how to respond properly.
However, since it was a Little Girl asking these questions, Hode naturally didn't take it to heart, because he knew that children are innocent by nature; perhaps she had seen it on TV and felt curious.
Therefore, Hode himself didn't pay much attention to the matter; it was in the past. However, even he hadn't expected the Little Girl to come over specifically to apologize.
After all, Hode hadn't taken such a thing to heart to begin with.
Hode said, "It's okay. I never took this to heart in the first place. Since you only asked out of curiosity, Big Brother won't blame you."
"Besides, there are indeed many older sisters in Big Brother's home, so it's normal to ask such questions."
Chapter 213: Hode: Only Children Make Choices
"Alright then, as long as Big Brother isn't angry. I thought that after I asked that question, Big Brother was unhappy."
"How could that be? I just didn't know how to answer at first, but there's no need to get angry with you over something like that, is there?"
"Besides, you were unintentional, Big Brother knows that."
"Alright then, I'm glad Big Brother isn't angry."
At this moment, Hode couldn't help but sigh. Regarding the question the Little Girl asked, Hode himself had also given it some thought.
Setting aside whether they were in that kind of romantic relationship, Hode knew that he liked all three of them here.
Although they hadn't explicitly stated what kind of relationship it was, they were all very clear about it in their hearts.
After all, what needed to happen had already happened, and as for the rest, there was certainly nothing to discuss; as long as he understood it in his heart, that was enough.
It was just that he hadn't expected the Little Girl to actually ask it.
However, he didn't pursue the issue any further.
"By the way, do you guys want to go anywhere else to play today? You've stayed home long enough. Today, I'll accompany you out to play."
"If you have any places you want to go, just say it directly. It's fine, there's no need to be polite with me."
With that, Hode took the few girls out.
On the other side, Loki was still thinking about who to look for to be part of his team. After all, he wasn't familiar with some of the remaining demons at all.
And going to find them now so suddenly and talking to them about these things would likely make them feel resentful.
But now he had no other choice. After all, the current Side Character had disappeared. In this Universe, even if he had the ability to save him, he couldn't achieve it, as his daughter and wife were currently with Hode.
Trying to abduct his wife and daughter was not a simple matter. After all, there were those few deities by Hode's side, and those deities held a relatively high status in this Universe, so their strength was naturally very powerful.
If he were to risk bringing his wife and daughter back like that, he would likely be besieged by those people. Moreover, since Hode was able to take his wife and daughter away, he must have said some things to them.
Under such circumstances, if he wanted to take his wife and daughter away, besides Hode and those deities, he would also need their own willingness, and perhaps Hodemight even brainwash them.
After all, based on his understanding of Hode, since he saved them, Hode originally did want to help them so they could live together, but the prerequisite was that the Side Character listen to him.
And for a person of the Side Character's strength, how could he choose to listen to the Side Character? Moreover, the reason his wife and daughter had become the way they were now was because of these deities, so Hode saving them was only right and proper.
At most, he could let the Side Character stop attacking those deities, since his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, but to make him obey Hode, that would be somewhat abnormal.
Obviously, for someone with the Side Character's personality, following the will of the netizens, it was certainly not reasonable.
And this was also likely the main reason why Hodedefeated him!
Chapter 214: Damn Hode!
Otherwise, seeking death with all one's heart, I believe no one would do such a thing.
And now, in order to defeat Hode, Loki remembered his former comrade-in-arms, the Charm Witch Amora.
In order to defeat Hode, besides needing the help of those demons, Loki knew that mages could also be of some use.
Although Angela's magic only displays its strongest power in specific places, and it's still a bit too weak to defeat Hode.
However, if she just appears as support, that would be acceptable. After all, given the current situation, having something is definitely better than having nothing.
Inside the Heavenly Palace.
At this time, Amora was still studying magic energy with her younger sister, Lorelei.
Bang, bang, bang.
"Sister, it seems the magic energy you've been studying is even more powerful than before. This explosion was actually able to intimidate me."
"It was actually able to shatter my shield. It seems that even those deities would find it hard to resist Sister's energy blasts."
Lorelei said this with a proud expression. Although it was Amora who had succeeded in the research, as her younger sister, she still felt happy.
Amora: "If that's all there is, it's far from enough. After all, those deities are very cunning, and the reason my magicfeels so strong to you now is only because we are in this Heavenly Palace."
"But if we leave this palace, the power might drop directly. Therefore, this level of explosive power hasn't reached the level of perfection yet."
"We need to continue researching. By the way, how is your potion coming along?"
"If I remember correctly, you were researching how to maximize the charm effect, right? How is it, did you figure it out?"
"As Charm Witches, the little charm you have on you is not enough. Moreover, our target now is not those deities, but Hode."
"And I believe you are clear about Hode's strength. He is much more useful than those deities, and making Hodesubmit to us would certainly be happier than seducing those deities."
"Of course, with our current strength, wanting to seduce Hode and make him pledge allegiance to us is naturally impossible. After all, ever since we fought Hode last time, both your and my strength have declined severely."
"And that was also the first time we realized how terrifying the gap in strength is. If it weren't for Hode, our sisters might not even be living this kind of life now."
"Before, we were troubled by those deities, and now there's an additional Hode. I don't know where he popped out from; just an ordinary human actually having such formidable strength."
"The appearance of this Hode has refreshed my understanding of those ordinary humans."
Lorelei: "Don't say anymore, Sister. It's because that Hodemessed with the '705u.com-53 Reading Club' that our sisters' vitality was severely damaged. The realm we were originally about to break through is still stuck in place. If it weren't for that Hode, we wouldn't need to live so miserably now, and even our original plan has been broken."
"It's simply infuriating. Those deities are nothing to be nervous about; their strength is just so-so. But Hode is different. An ordinary human's strength is actually stronger than those deities. What does this indicate?"
Chapter 215: Crazy Practice of Charm Techniques for Hode
"Either those deities are outdated, or our strength has regressed so much that we can't even compare to an ordinary human."
Indeed, in their eyes, Hode was an uninvited guest, a human who had appeared out of nowhere and was several times stronger than them, which was unrealistic no matter how one looked at it.
But what they didn't know was that Hode was no ordinary human, but one possessing a system; having traveled to this World, he could easily learn any powerful move without wasting any effort.
Hode's copied moves were even significantly stronger than those of the original owners.
This was the main reason for Hode's formidable strength.
Hode's appearance had directly shattered the demons' original plans; without him, they might have already wiped out the gods and stood at the very top of the Universe.
Unfortunately, Hode's arrival had disrupted all those plans.
If it weren't for Hode, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state. Regardless, for Hode...
And what they needed '705u.com-53 Reading Club' to do now was to enhance their charm abilities to seduce Hodeand make him obey them.
After all, with their previous power, seducing those gods wasn't impossible, and those gods would naturally be lured by their magic, though not for long.
Given their own abilities, while they could indeed seduce gods, it didn't last long; after all, their power was ultimately limited.
So, to extend the duration of their seduction over the gods, they had to continue expanding their magical energy.
Although their seduction of the gods didn't last long, it at least worked; however, it was completely ineffective against Hode.
They couldn't even complete the act of seducing him; in their current state, it was absolutely impossible.
So what they had to do now was strengthen their magical energy so that one day they could seduce Hode and make him follow their orders. After all, if a human as powerful as Hode worked for them, wouldn't they be the kings of this World?
The more they thought about it, the more they looked forward to it, so they continued their research; only then could they obtain everything they desired.
"You're right, sister. My current abilities are still completely insufficient. Despite how beautiful we are, Hode remains indifferent and chooses to stay with those gods."
"Those gods are each uglier than the last, not even a thousandth as beautiful as us. With that kind of strength, how can they compare to us? Even though my magic hasn't reached the level where I can make Hode surrender to us yet..."
"I believe that if we continue practicing according to the current trend, it's only a matter of time before Hodesubmits to us."
"Yes, since you understand, I won't say more. In short, as things stand, as long as we strengthen our research into magical energy and practice this Charm Skill to the limit, Hode will eventually be ours for the taking."
"As for everything else, it will certainly come easily."
Chapter 216: Succubus Sisters Tease Loki
While the two sisters were still immersed in their fantasies, a familiar voice came from afar.
"Yo, so diligent? Still researching your Charm Magic? It seems that since you were defeated by Hode last time, you're getting more and more into character."
"I thought you wouldn't have much of a reaction; after all, Hode is indeed very strong. With your current abilities, it's quite difficult."
"But to be honest, I still sympathize with your plight, as I've encountered the same thing."
Indeed, the speaker was Loki. Since they lived in the same place—just different areas—and often cooperated, they could come and go from each other's residences freely.
They only needed to give a notification.
Amora and Lorelei stopped their work and looked at their long-absent ally, wondering why Loki would suddenly come looking for them.
After all, it had been a long time since their last cooperation, and logically, they shouldn't have any contact right now.
Yet Loki had appeared in their palace, and no one had announced him, letting him straight in—this also made them somewhat curious.
"Loki? Why are you here? How do you have the leisure to come find us today? You didn't just come here for a chat, did you?"
"Or do you have another mission that requires our cooperation? Haven't seen you in so long, and you're still the same—coming in without a word, not even a messenger to announce you. What, did you seduce them again?"
Amora spoke without any hint of blame, only curiosity.
After all, logically, they shouldn't have any other kind of relationship.
Lorelei followed up, "You're here for my sister, right? Should I leave this place to you two and wait outside?"
"But seriously, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You two talk; I'll head out."
Just as Lorelei was about to walk out of the laboratory, Loki called out to her.
"Wait, you stay here too. After all, I didn't come specifically for your sister this time, but for both of you."
---0 Seeking Flowers ---0
"Oh? Looking for both of us? Don't tell me my sister can't satisfy you anymore, and you want to include me too?"
"I thought you only needed my sister. Every time you came before, you only looked for her and shut me out. I thought this time would be the same."
...0...
Lorelei spoke in a joking tone, but it clearly contained a hint of reproach.
Although Loki often collaborated with the Enchantress, it was only with her sister and had little to do with her.
Now that Loki was actually asking her to stay, she felt a bit surprised.
Amora, however, was a bit displeased and said, "If there's something, just talk to me. Don't seduce my sister; at her current age, it's not appropriate."
At this moment, Loki was full of confusion, momentarily not knowing what they were talking about.
"?? No, what are you talking about? What do you mean 'not appropriate'? Do you think you know my purpose for coming here this time? Just."
Chapter 217: Loki: I'm Not That Kind of Person!
"I don't know, but every time you come to see me, isn't it always..."
"?? Isn't it always what?"
Amora used a seductive gaze, swaying her graceful figure as she approached Loki and reached out to stroke his face.
This made even him, a demon himself, nearly lose control. After all, Amora was the Enchantress; even without using magic, just looking into her eyes '705u.com-53 Reading Club', one could very likely be influenced by it.
Soon, Loki was losing his grip, and just as he was about to be seduced by Amora, her sister spoke up: "Alright, sister, stop teasing him. Looking at this big dummy, it's no fun at all."
Loki quickly regained his senses and immediately distanced himself from Amora.
He had just remembered that they were both Enchantresses; if he wasn't careful, he could easily be influenced by their abilities.
Combined with their looks and figure, it was hard for anyone not to have certain thoughts.
Seeing Loki regain consciousness, Amora left his side and returned to her seat, muttering, "Tch, how boring. Won't even let me have a little fun. I wanted to see what kind of reaction you'd have, since I haven't used this ability on you yet."
"I wonder if you'd obey me if you fell under my charm."
"Stop right there. I don't care if you use it on others, but it's no fun if you touch me."
"Besides, I have important business with you this time; I'm not here because I'm bored."

Amora finally perked up, looking at Loki in front of her, and continued, "Fine, fine, fine, that's really boring. Go ahead, tell me what you actually want from us. But I'll say this upfront: if it's that kind of thing, forget it. After all, my sister is still young."
"That sort of thing is somewhat inappropriate for her, and I think I'm enough on my own."
"Sister, what are you talking about? What exactly is this about?"
Loki looked speechless: "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. I'm not that kind of person. Besides, if it were really for that kind of thing, it would truly be unnecessary."
"Hahahaha, just a little joke to lighten the mood. No need to be so tense, right?"
"And you've been here for so long without saying what you actually came to us for. So, speak now: what exactly requires both of us sisters to step up? If it's not something serious, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Tsk, only you would think that."
"Alright, enough messing around. Actually, I came here this time because I want to cooperate with you."
Hearing the word "cooperate," Amora immediately became serious: "Oh? Cooperate? You aren't planning to strike at another god, are you? But I'll tell you this first: you know that after the last 3.0-level war, both of us sisters had our vitality damaged."
"We are still in the recovery stage, so if you want to fight, it's still a bit difficult. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here continuing to study our magic."
"Furthermore, those gods are now under Hode's care. Attacking them is not an easy task, and I think it's necessary to make this clear to you."
Chapter 218: The Boundary of Space-Time! DC Universe!
Meanwhile.
Hode was lying comfortably on the sofa, a rare moment of solitude, his body wrapped in a pale blue halo, a playful smile hanging on the corners of his lips.
He knew that those guys like Loki would never give up.
But to him, Loki and his little followers were nothing more than insignificant gnats, trying to sting a few painless holes in his wall of iron.
Their threats were more like seasoning in his life, adding a touch of excitement to his calm and undisturbed days.
"Loki, come on. Bring your resentment and fury. I will be here, and I will show you with my strength what despair is." Hode muttered to himself, his deep eyes flashing with longing for a challenge and disdain.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind before being replaced by a stronger impulse—the desire to explore the unknown. He didn't want to waste time on boring waiting; to him, the entire Multiverse was the real playground.
Thus, Hode closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to focus his mind. His consciousness seemed to turn into an invisible tentacle, piercing through the shackles of space and time, crossing the limits of dimensions, and freely shuttling through the infinite parallel Universes.
He first swept past a Universe where Tony Stark was a painter devoted to art, and Captain America Steve Rogershad become a social activist. Their World had less smoke of war and more of a Renaissance atmosphere.
Then, he jumped to another Universe, where Hulk had actually become a green giant cartoon character beloved by children, bringing laughter to the World instead of fear.
Just as Hode's consciousness was about to reach its limit and he was preparing to return, an unprecedented resistance blocked his path.
That was a space-time barrier woven by unknown power, incomparably hard, seemingly declaring the existence of a taboo.
Hode raised an eyebrow, a smile of interest curling at the corners of his lips. A challenge? This was exactly what he liked.
He mobilized all his energy; that power surged within him, rushing toward the barrier like a tidal wave.
After an arduous effort, the barrier finally made a slight cracking sound, revealing a narrow slit.
On the other side of the gap, what appeared before Hode's eyes were World after World, completely different from Marvel, yet familiar and strange.
There, Superman was wearing his classic red and blue suit, streaking across the sky with a bright blue line;
Batman was guarding the city's justice in the dark night of Gotham City in the form of a shadow;
Flash was jumping through the cracks of time at a speed exceeding the speed of light;
And Wonder Woman was defending truth and peace with her unrivaled strength and grace.
"DC Universe?" Hode whispered, a Flash of excitement in his eyes, "This is a big discovery. It looks like my playground is about to expand."
In the endless void, Hode's consciousness, like a wandering soul, shuttled through the gaps of numerous DC parallel Universes.
Every Universe carried different fates and legends. He witnessed the twisted smile of The Batman Who Laughsblooming in the dark night sky of Gotham;
Witnessed Joker dancing on the edge of chaos, weaving a symphony of crime with madness;
And even caught a glimpse of the distortion and struggle of the World under the iron-fisted rule of the Injustice League.
However, all of this was nothing more than a piece of scenery on his journey.
Chapter 219: A Special DC Universe! Like a God!
Hode's goal was to find a Universe that could truly interest him, a place sufficient to become his playground.
"This is it." Hode's heart stirred, his gaze locked onto a special DC Universe, where unknown fun and challenges were hidden.
He exhaled lightly, as if having made a major decision. Then, his figure turned into a beam of light, crossing the boundaries of time and space, and suddenly descended beneath the azure sky of a strange Earth.
The moment he descended, Hode's vast consciousness, like an ocean, surged out, instantly covering the entire Planet.
His perception pierced through the clouds, deep into the surface, reaching those secret corners hidden from the World.
Among the torrent of countless information, an underground laboratory located deep within a vast nation caught Hode's attention.
It was heavily guarded, and even the smallest details revealed an extraordinary atmosphere. Deep within the laboratory, there was a sealed cell that seemed isolated from the World; its strictness was such that even the most cunning fox could not escape.
Inside the cell, the figure of a woman was looming. She was gaunt, her short hair messy, and her eyes had lost their former luster, leaving only endless emptiness and despair.
The identity of this woman was a mystery to the outside World, but to Hode, she was like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to be ignored.
"Found you, my first bit of fun." Hode's lips curled into a meaningful smile, which contained both the excitement of discovering a new toy and a hint of anticipation for the upcoming game.
As Hode's voice fell, an invisible force fluctuated gently, and the cell door opened silently, as if in submission to this power.
Light spilled into the dim cell, illuminating the woman's pale face, also signaling the beginning of a new era—an era dominated by Hode, full of unknowns and variables.
"Ready to welcome change, Ms.?" Hode's voice echoed in the empty high altitude, both a question and a declaration.
And this imprisoned woman, her fate, as well as the balance of this DC Universe, would all undergo Earth-shattering changes due to Hode's arrival.
...
In the distant DC Flashpoint Universe, an unprecedented legend was quietly unveiling its prologue.
Hode, this mysterious young man possessing the Phoenix Force, embarked on a journey to find truth and redemption.
His target was a short-haired woman imprisoned in a secret research Base of the Bear Country—Kara, the Supergirl the World had never seen.
Night fell, stars dotted the firmament, and Hode, like a meteor, streaked through the night, hovering silently above the research Base.
Inside the Base, the lights were bright, and the busy figures of researchers cast long shadows under the lights, until Hode's appearance broke this tranquility.
Where did he pop out from?" a researcher muttered in astonishment. The words quickly triggered a chain reaction among the crowd; everyone stopped what they were doing and looked toward that abrupt figure.
Outside the Base, the troops waiting in battle array responded quickly. Artillery fire roared, and tanks surged toward the uninvited guest in the sky like a torrent of steel.
Hode smiled contemptuously, his body surging with blazing Phoenix Force flames, as if he were the incarnation of the Sun.
The metal shells of the tanks were fragile before his power. Round after round of the "705u.com-53 Reading Club" offensive vanished into nothingness, a mere matter of him waving his hand lightly.
The people inside the Base witnessed this scene; beyond their shock was uncontrollable fear. Their eyes trembled as they gazed at the man hanging high in the sky, majestic as a deity.
The news spread like wildfire to the high-ranking officials of the Russian Federation. In the conference room, tense discussions rose one after another, and everyone's heart was shrouded in a Shadow named "Hode."
The decision-makers urgently deployed more armed forces, vowing to stifle this sudden threat.
Chapter 220: Hode, the Light of Hope in Supergirl's Eyes
Soon, the sky was filled with dense swarms of fighter jets. They buzzed like a swarm of bees, pouncing toward Hodewith a deadly aura.
However, with just a gesture, he emitted the Phoenix Force. Brilliant light enveloped the fighter jets, like a black hole devouring light; in the blink of an eye, the fleet vanished without a trace.
Then, dense missiles poured down like rain, intending to overwhelm Hode with numerical superiority, but only saw the corners of his mouth lift slightly.
With a casual snap of his fingers, the missiles exploded in mid-air, turning into brilliant Fire lotuses, and then extinguished.
The ground trembled due to the continuous explosions, cracks spread, and the secret laboratory hidden beneath the surface was gradually exposed to the World.
In the midst of this chaos, in the prison located on the lowest 920th floor, a thin woman with messy short hair—Kara—had a faint light of hope flickering in her eyes.
Through the faint light between the cracks, she saw the young man standing in the air under the moonlight.
Hode, that extraordinary figure, to her, was like an Angelsent by God, crossing the darkness, just to lead her to regain freedom.
In the intricate and bizarre World of the DC Flashpoint Universe, the legend of Superman was as hazy as an ancient myth, never leaving any substantial mark on this blue Planet.
In this parallel Universe, Superman did not descend to Earth; instead, he was intercepted by Zod in advance, his genes extracted, and he turned into dust.
But the tapestry of fate is always full of twists and miracles, just like the most unintentional meteor in the night sky.
Another orphan of the Kryptonian World—Supergirl Kara—amidst thousands of coincidences, stepped on the void and accidentally descended onto this land that was both familiar and strange.
However, what welcomed her was not the flowers and songs of praise she imagined, but a cold laboratory hidden in the dark corner of the Russian Federation, and the subsequent endless imprisonment and ruthless research experiments. All this constituted the starting point of her new life and became shackles she could hardly break free from.
Confusion and amazement flickered in Kara's pupils, like a traveler lost in the night.
"Who is this man? Why can he display such power that transcends mortals, as if he were a deity descended from the sky '705u.com-53 Reading Club'? Even more puzzling is, what is his motive for saving me? Is it sympathy for the weak, or is there a more far-reaching scheme hidden?"
Even though her heart was filled with clouds of doubt, when the man named Hode extended a helping hand, Karaseemed to catch a glimmer of warmth and trust in those firm eyes, just like the first ray of spring light appearing after a long winter.
She grasped that bridge of hope without hesitation, letting herself be led by this sudden courage, escaping from this place of imprisonment, and soaring toward the free sky.
Behind her, the angry roars of the Russian Federation guards gradually faded away, turning into powerless echoes in the void.
They could only watch helplessly as Hode held Kara, breaking through the clouds like an eagle spreading its wings, until they became a glimmer in the distant sky, leaving behind only futile anger and unwillingness.
Hode carried Kara through the sea of clouds, across mountains and rivers, and finally landed on the other side of Earth, a secret realm far from the hustle and bustle, not yet tainted by modern civilization—an uninhabited island surrounded by a golden beach.
Here, the sunlight spilled down unselfishly, like a generous gift from nature. The golden beach stretched endlessly, the blue Water was crystal clear, and that warm sunlight seemed to possess the magic to soothe all wounds.
Standing on the soft sand, Kara slowly closed her eyes, letting the long-lost sunlight gently envelop her.
Chapter 221: Spending Days and Nights with Kara!
Every ray of light was like a loving mother in the Universe, stroking her body, which had almost withered due to long-term imprisonment, with the most delicate touch, dispelling the accumulated fatigue and awakening the sleeping Kryptonian power within her.
Her skin regained vitality, becoming smooth and delicate; her pale face recovered its healthy rosy glow, and that brilliant blonde hair shone with a radiance like the Sununder the caress of the breeze.
A long-lost and sincere smile traced the corners of Kara's mouth; it was the joy of rebirth and infinite expectation for the future.
"You... you pulled me out of the abyss of despair." When Kara opened her eyes again and gazed at Hode, gratitude overflowed from those deep, azure eyes, like stars in the midnight ocean, flickering with the desire for life.
"In that cold, endless dark prison, I almost believed that freedom was nothing more than an unattainable dream. It was you who tore apart the shackles for me and gave me the chance of a second life."
Hode responded with a faint smile, his eyes containing both gentle ripples and firm conviction. "Each of us, in the vastness of this Universe, is but a lonely star. But when two stars meet, they can illuminate each other's Universe."
Hode's eyes were as deep as a quiet lake. Under the moonlight, they not only reflected Kara's graceful figure but also seemed to contain a gentle Universe. That tender gaze was enough to warm the hardest ice in winter, gradually melting all the indifference and barriers in the World.
His words were soft and lingering, like a spring breeze brushing against the face. Every word and sentence was a love poem from the depths of his heart, polished by his heart.
Turning into moving love songs, they gently fell on the lake of Kara's heart, stirring up layers of delicate and long-lasting ripples, causing waves of love to surge.
On a night of thunder, lightning, and raging storms, Hodedescended to the mortal World like a deity, carving out a path of life in the chaos.
Bravely redeeming Kara from those raging giant waves.
At that moment, he was not only a hero but also a beacon guiding the way.
Using his own firm light to pierce through all haze and despair, lighting up a path of hope for Kara.
Since then, Kara's heart, like a flower bud waiting to bloom, had quietly blossomed due to Hode's meticulous care.
Those past defenses and reserve gradually dissipated in the face of this deep affection, replaced by an unprecedented trust and deep reliance.

Their island seemed to become a paradise, time became blurred here, leaving only memories woven with strings of sweetness and laughter.
At the first break of dawn, the two walked hand in hand on the golden beach; the fine sand under their feet sparkled in the morning light, like a road sprinkled with starlight;
... 0
In the evening, they leaned against each other under the swaying coconut shadows, heads resting together, looking up at the starry firmament. Every star seemed to be telling the secrets between them.
The air was filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere, building a carefree dream paradise that belonged only to the two of them.
In this paradise, Hode explored everything about Karameticulously, deep communication of the soul, and intimacy in every sense.
Every touch, every embrace, left a deep mark in silence, binding their souls more closely together.
Their lives often had intense collisions, like the collision of two Worlds, fighting until the wind and clouds surged. Such battles often lasted for several days, from night to day, and from day to night.
Chapter 222: Obtained Thought Superman Template! Change!
Kara, this woman with Superman-like recovery, could always quickly regain vitality under the bathing of the Sun.
Her toughness and unyielding nature made Hode both amazed and admiring, and even more, he felt he had met a rare opponent and partner in his life.
During these dreamlike days, Hode unlocked the power of the [Thought Superman Template]. This legendary, near-deity power made him inwardly shocked and extremely excited.
He "705u.com-53 Reading Club" knew deeply that Thought Superman was an existence capable of transcending the constraints of time and space, able to soar freely in every corner of the vast Universe.
Although currently only 1% of the ability was fused, Hodecould already feel that power hidden deep in his body, enough to shake conventionality.
It was a kind of control and insight that transcended the limits of cognition.
Gazing at Kara's flawless figure, which seemed like a work of art, Hode's eyes shone with a more firm light, and infinite longing for the future surged in his heart.
"As long as we continue to fight more and communicate more, this fusion with Thought Superman will become higher and higher." He muttered in his heart, full of anticipation for this unknown power.
Every time he embraced Kara's soft and warm body, Hodecould feel the ineffable tacit understanding and connection between the two hearts. This feeling made him cherish it very much.
He hugged her tightly, as if to eternally engrave the happiness of this moment deep in his soul, and whispered excitedly: "Coming to the DC Flashpoint Universe first, my choice was so correct!"
His voice was brimming with desire for the upcoming adventure and the determination to win. Subsequently, Hode easily picked up Kara, as if holding the treasure of the entire World, and embarked on a new journey toward hope and dreams.
In that vast and deep abyss of the Universe, Earth was like a brilliant blue sapphire inlaid on black velvet, quiet and peaceful.
However, this tranquility was ruthlessly broken by a sudden, soul-shaking shadow. It was a giant spaceship never seen before, its size so immense that it was enough to make any mortal feel awe.
It floated silently at the edge of the horizon, like a floating city carved by future technology, its surface flowing with cold and charming silver radiance.
As if it were an uninvited guest in the Universe, quietly peering at this vibrant blue Planet... 0
The owner of this spaceship is none other than the renowned general in Kryptonian history—General Zod.
His flagship crossed the obstacles of distant galaxies, carrying the mission and desires of an ancient race.
Spanning the vastness of light-years, all for a clear and unshakable goal.
In Zod's heart, a prophecy was hidden, concerning Superman—
The child from another World chosen by the stars, bearing the hope of Kryptonian revival.
And the genetic codex that might be hidden within him, a mysterious password to unlock the fate of the Kryptonian.
In a carefully prepared display of power in space, Zodintercepted Superman with lightning speed, hoping to find the long-lost 3.0 Codex from this last child of hope.
However, things did not go as planned; the Codex seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving this battle-hardened general feeling unprecedented frustration and reluctance.
This loss drove him to shift his target to another possibility: Kara, another Kryptonian orphan stranded on Earth. Perhaps the key clue was hidden within her unknown bloodline.
Chapter 223: Hode: I'll just smash you to pieces!
Zod stood at the edge of the spaceship's floor-to-ceiling window, watching the blue Planet drawing closer. Deep within his seemingly calm eyes, waves were surging.
His plan went far beyond this; he intended to use this opportunity to declare the existence and will of the Kryptonian to the entire Earth.
With advanced electromagnetic communication technology, his voice pierced through the silence of the night, resounding across every continent, every city, and through the radio waves of every household. It was a powerful force that could not be ignored, both cold and unquestionable:
"People of Earth, listen to the voice from the Kryptonian. I am General Zod. From this second on, your World will be incorporated into the embrace of the Kryptonian. I will lead you into a brand new era. Whether you are willing or not, your destiny is now tightly linked to the destiny of the Kryptonian."
This declaration was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the depths of the Earthlings' hearts, triggering widespread panic and unease, as if dark clouds were shrouding the entire World.
But amidst the despair and fear, two unwavering figures stepped forward: Hode and Kara. Their appearance was like a fire of hope ignited in the dark night.
Upon learning of Zod's declaration of invasion, the two did not hesitate. They clasped their hands together and transformed into two beams of light piercing the night sky, streaking across the horizon and pointing directly at the core of Zod's flagship.
Facing Zod, flames of indignation burned in Kara's eyes—a dignity that could not be violated and a determination to protect her home.
"Zod, your blindness and arrogance have made you lose your reason. Earth is a miracle full of life. Your attempt to transform it into a Kryptonian replica is a trampling on the essence of life and a huge disrespect to endless civilization."
Her words were firm and powerful, revealing deep emotion for this second home and a determination to protect it to the death.
Zod's face twisted with anger, but a look of contempt hung on the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Kara's naivety. "Kara, you seem to have forgotten that the blood flowing in your veins is also Kryptonian blood. Your roots, your true belonging, always point to the red soil of the Kryptonian."
Hode could not tolerate Zod's arrogance and provocation. The potential within him was thoroughly awakened, like an enraged Phoenix, erupting with scorching and surging power. The energy fluctuations made the surrounding void seem to tremble, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
"Enough, Zod! You talk too much! It's affecting my enjoyment of life, I'll just smash you to pieces!!!"
Hode's voice was like a booming bell, echoing endlessly in the void.
Before Hode's words had finished fading away in the void, he himself was like the brightest meteor in the night sky, suddenly bursting from the tranquility, turning into a lightning-like Shadow, and breaking through the wind. The surrounding air seemed to freeze at this moment, and then was torn apart by the strong aura on his body, stirring up small but clearly visible ripples. These ripples spread outward from him, circle by circle, like the shocking scene when a lake is suddenly struck by a giant rock—both astonishing and spectacular.
This sudden energy fluctuation was like an invisible giant hand, gripping gently, making everyone present feel an indescribable oppression in their hearts, even making breathing become stifled. The air was filled with a palpable sense of tension, and even the particles in the air seemed to tremble under Hode's unquestionable will.
Chapter 224: The desperate Kryptonian general, what terrifying power!
In an instant, Hode had silently stood not far from Zod. His unimaginable speed was too fast for even the sharpest eyes to capture his trajectory through space. Then, Hode's clenched fist seemed possessed by an ancient god of war, gathering endless power, and with the momentum of thunder, it smashed fiercely into Zod's sturdy chest. This blow was not just a collision of flesh, but more like a fierce clash of two primitive forces, followed by a deafening explosion that resounded through the sky.
Zod's body, under this blow, was like a kite with a broken string, thrown towards the distant horizon by an irresistible force. His figure drew a long and desperate curve in the air, and finally, like a meteorite, crashed heavily onto the top of a lonely peak. The peak could not resist the Impact and collapsed with a rumble, accompanied by flying dust and rolling stones, forming a bleak, apocalyptic scene. In the dust, a bottomless, huge pit appeared shockingly.
This stunning picture was like the most magnificent and cruel chapter in nature. The Earth shook, the mountains changed color, and the lingering power could not dissipate for a long time. The whole World seemed to fall into a moment of silence, and all living things held their breath before this display of power.
Just after that brief silence, Hode seemed to manipulate the laws of time and space, once again crossing that seemingly impassable space. In the blink of an eye, he was again standing before Zod. Every movement of his seemed to challenge the limits of physical laws. The air around him was torn apart again, making a sharp and rapid whistling sound, containing both the agitation of energy and the wailing of space.
This time, Hode's fist was not alone; it was wrapped in a surging red energy. This energy was like a raging sea, instantly submerging the horizon and dyeing the sky blood-red, as if foretelling the beginning of a duel between gods and demons in ancient mythology. This soul-shaking scene made every bystander feel a chill rising from the depths of their hearts. All things in the World seemed to lose their color at this moment, leaving only that shocking red, announcing the approach of the end, inducing fear, and even time seemed to stand still, waiting for the final judgment to descend.
With every punch Hode threw, the Earth trembled, as if experiencing the Impact of one micro-earthquake after another. Cracks spread from the ground beneath his feet, intertwined like a spider web, depicting a picture of natural laws kneeling before absolute power. Vegetation snapped under the shockwave, and sand and stones were swept high, scattering everywhere like raindrops in a storm. Every inch of land and every leaf vein of nature moaned under the ravages of this power, witnessing a contest beyond mortal imagination.
Zod, this battle-hardened warrior, was covered in injuries under Hode's continuous, fierce attacks. The armor on his body, once a symbol of glory and protection, appeared small and fragile under the baptism of this series of forces. Every attack from Hode shattered this proud armor, metal fragments scattering like fallen leaves in autumn, lying quietly in the dust one by one, silently telling that the owner is suffering 705u.com-53 Reading Clubunspeakable pain and torture.
Under the double blow of pain and mental shock, unprecedented panic and confusion welled up in Zod's heart: "Who on Earth is this person? How did he Masterthis power that subverts common sense and is strong enough to shake the heavens and the Earth?" This doubt was not only a reflection on his own failure but also a soul-touching shock. Even though Zod had experienced countless battlefields, facing such power, he could not help but feel awe.
Chapter 225: Zod: I got up, one shot, one kill.
A deafening roar erupted from the depths of Zod's throat, containing unquestionable pride and unyielding spirit:
"I am a born warrior!" This declaration seemed to pierce through the clouds and stir between heaven and Earth, making every listening soul tremble involuntarily.
Immediately after, he slowly closed his eyes and began to try to adapt to the sunlight on this alien Planet—Earth. That warm and strange light, like an old friend met for the first time, gently brushed against his skin.
Surprisingly, when the body of the Kryptonian Zod was bathed in this golden radiance,
He could clearly feel that the Kryptonian cells in his body were like ancient powers being activated under the direct sunlight, beginning to transform rapidly and grow vigorously.
The awakening of powerful strength made the blood in his whole body boil, and every inch of muscle was full of unprecedented vitality.
This unprecedented change made a surge of indescribable ecstasy well up in Zod's heart.
He felt his strength climbing without limit, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, about to spread its wings and fly high.
The unwillingness and humiliation born from defeat in his heart were now ignited into a towering rage, burning fiercely, incinerating all negative emotions.
"I will kill you!!! Don't forget, I am General Zod of the Kryptonian!!!"
He roared. This was not only a threat to his opponent but also a defense of his own dignity.
An uncontrollable impulse surged in the bottom of Zod's heart. It was the glory belonging to a warrior, urging him not to admit defeat and deciding to fight hard to challenge the power that overwhelmed him.
However, reality is always cruel. Just as Zod mustered his courage, trying to swing the fist containing the Kryptonianpower, Hode, the warrior who seemed ordinary but mastered amazing energy, had long since anticipated his actions.
Hode's fist was wrapped in blazing crimson energy, like a meteorite, as he unhesitatingly met Zod's counterattack, which hadn't yet been fully unleashed.
The moment the two collided, the air seemed to be torn apart, letting out a crackling explosion.
Hode was merciless, pinning Zod's head down with a grip as firm as iron pincers; then, a rain of punches poured down, each strike carrying the weight of a thousand thunders, booming against Zod's defenses.
With punch after heavy punch, the earth seemed to wail, the ground trembling incessantly as cracks spread like spiderwebs, witnessing this lopsided contest of power.
The ambition contained within Zod's budding, vigorously beating heart was like a seedling breaking through the soil, filled with endless desire for the unknown World.
However, under the overwhelming and continuous barrage of heavy punches, this tender seedling suffered a merciless storm; every heavy blow was like a hammer falling on delicate leaves, causing it to tremble and gradually lose its original vitality and vigor,
until the last trace of tenacity was completely crushed, leaving behind only desolation.
His body, once a fortress as solid as rock, now seemed like a lonely skiff swaying in the surging waves of the deep Universe.
It was not just a physical impact, but a primal fury and irresistible force originating from the deep starry sky,
intertwining to become invisible chains that tightly bound Zod, draining his resistance and will bit by bit.
As time passed, Zod's figure began to blur, like a distant mountain in the morning mist, his silhouette drifting further away.
The surrounding air seemed to distort due to this heavy energy, light darting and jumping through it, refracting into strange and blurred colors.
Finally, in a suffocating moment, Zod's body turned into nothingness, leaving only a wisp of light smoke slowly rising,
like the final sigh of a weary traveler, drifting away over this land where he was once full of curiosity but ultimately fell into despair.
After the clamor of battle, everything returned to silence, with only a faint, almost imperceptible vibration remaining in the air,
the echo of the battle's aftermath, low and long, like an elegy of an ancient war, telling a story of courage and defeat, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
Within this silence, however, was hidden a power that made one's heart palpitate.
