When his mother, Martha, was irradiated by the spaceship and critically ill, Eric had given him that key!
Thinking of this, Clark immediately activated his super speed, leaving the Secret Fortress and rushing to the farm.
Was that inconspicuous key the crucial element to stopping the spaceship's engine?
Clark flew into the sky with a 'bang,' many thoughts flashing through his mind.
After Clark left, a phantom appeared in the Secret Fortress.
The middle-aged man, who bore some resemblance to Clark, looked at the direction Clark had disappeared with a complex expression and whispered,
"Goodbye, my son! My mission ends here! I have to say my education was a failure. Jonathan Kent, Martha Kent, you have replaced me and truly fulfilled the responsibilities of parents!"
As he spoke, Jor-El's figure gradually faded, finally disappearing completely.
Meanwhile, Eric had already arrived at the center of Metropolis City Hall.
He frowned slightly, looking at the constantly collapsing buildings and the terrified screams of the crowd around him.
Bang!
His figure flew onto the spaceship, and before he could get close, he was attacked by mechanical arms extending from within the ship.
Eric did not resist; he merely extended his arm, and with a loud bang, he was sent flying backward.
The powerful metal mechanical arms exerted a force that exceeded Eric's estimation.
Adjusting his posture in mid-air, Eric charged forward.
He dodged the silver-white metal mechanical arm, which was as agile and powerful as a giant snake, then punched away the approaching mechanical arm and continued his attack.
Bang!
The sound of metal and fist colliding violently rang out!
Eric constantly dodged in the air, attacking the mechanical arm while evading.
His figure cut a black trace in the air, invisible to the naked eye.
As he dodged the mechanical tentacles, he struck them fiercely.
Large chunks of metal continuously fell from mid-air.
Bang!
A sonic boom rang out, and the air trembled slightly.
Eric looked back and saw Clark, dressed in his uniform, standing beside him.
The two brothers exchanged glances, their eyes conveying an understanding that only they could share.
Bang!
The conical sonic barrier created by the air was instantly broken by Clark.
Clark charged forward, embraced the giant mechanical arm, and swung it forcefully.
The mechanical arm collided violently with the spaceship, causing the spaceship's surface shield to vibrate.
Eric used Heat Vision, and with a boom, a torrent of energy beams struck the ship's shield.
Then Eric charged forward, dodging the super-high-speed mechanical arm, and slammed his fist hard against the shield.
"Crack!"
The shield protecting the spaceship cracked under the impact of Eric's fist.
Seeing Eric's attack succeed, Clark followed suit, throwing his own punch.
Boom!
The shield quickly shattered under their combined assault, and Eric and Clark rushed inside the spaceship.
Thump! Thump!
The two of them stepped onto the spaceship's floor, looking around.
"Once the World Engine is running, you cannot stop it! This world is about to become the home of the Kryptonians! You cannot stop it!"
General Zod, wearing black armor and with his head exposed, walked out and faced Eric.
Behind him stood Rika, Eric's implanted spy, and the bald Kryptonian scientist.
Bang!
The spaceship's safety hatch opened, and Fiora and four other Kryptonians stumbled into the spaceship.
Fiora, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, stood behind General Zod, clutching her injured chest, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Eric.
Seeing his guard squad suffer heavy casualties, with only five men returning now, General Zod gritted his teeth, the muscles in his jaw twitching slightly.
"I admit I underestimated you, Kal, Kyle! But now, it's time for you to pay the price!"
General Zod stared at Eric and Clark, radiating killing intent.
"Is that so?"
Eric looked at General Zod coldly.
"Move!"
The moment Eric's words fell, Rika, standing behind General Zod, immediately sprang into action.
She threw her bracelet forward with a sudden motion!
The bracelet formed a mirror as it flew.
The mirror transformed into a spatial entrance thirty centimeters in diameter, with a huge suction force forming near the entrance.
The four Kryptonians standing behind Fiora were caught off guard and were immediately sucked into the Phantom Zone!
Fiora reacted quickly, dodging backward and avoiding the suction of the Phantom Zone entrance.
But the next second, Rika charged directly towards Fiora and knocked her down with a punch.
