Clark flew backward, his man of steel smashing through a distant hill and passing through to the other side.
He was in mid-air, head down, feet up, but his excellent vision quickly saw Dane rushing over from afar.
Watching Dane's fist approach, he had no footing and couldn't move at all.
At that moment, he grew anxious, and his body in mid-air actually stopped its downward trend.
This caused Dane's pre-calculated punch to miss.
"Oh?"
Dane landed back on the ground, looking up at Clark, who was suspended in mid-air.
His body vibrated, and he also flew into the sky, leveling with Clark.
"It looks like you've learned to fly too."
In fact, Superman at this time already possessed the ability to fly, but he had never thought about it in this way, so he had never used it naturally.
But seeing Dane fly so smoothly and naturally, he seemed to grasp it all at once and immediately applied it in actual combat.
Dane couldn't help but smile, seeing him flying around excitedly.
"To fly well, you need more practice. Let me help you."
The fight isn't over yet!
After Dane finished speaking, he swooped down. I used to love the movie man of steel. Have you seen space boxing?
I learned this from you!
Using the forward inertia of flight, Dane punched Clark in the face, knocking him away again.
But the thick-skinned Kryptonian was not injured at all, at most it hurt a bit, and he immediately recovered to full health.
Dane sighed: "When Zod and his people arrive, this battle will probably be very difficult."
Clark adjusted his posture. He seemed to have caught the knack, flying more and more smoothly. He gave Dane a hard punch with the same force.
"Bang" —!
Like a meteor striking Earth, Dane crashed into the ground, leaving a huge Impact crater.
Dane stood up from the center of the crater, shook his head, and cleared the dizzy feeling from his mind.
Just then, Wisdom of Solomon gave him a warning.
He followed his intuition and retreated, Clark's fist breaking the sound barrier as it grazed his nose.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to also resort to sneak attacks?"
Dane ignored the incoming air impact, and without thinking, he raised his leg high and kicked Supermanhard in the abdomen.
The immense force of the kick caused Clark to arch his back and fly straight up into the sky.
The ground sank again, Dane's single foot buried in the Earth, and he pulled his foot out with effort.
Looking up at Clark in the sky, he seemed to not have fully recovered yet.
How could Dane miss such a good opportunity? So he quickly flew up, delivering a rising dragon punch to Clark's chin, adding more force to his ascent.
Clark's proudly held head suddenly dropped, his eyes turned crimson, and heat vision rays once again shot out from his pupils.
This time, Dane did not resist head-on; he turned his body, dodging the rays.
Immediately, he pointed his left hand, and a bolt of lightning instantly struck Clark.
After being hit, Clark no longer reacted with indifference as he had when struck by punches before; he immediately froze, then tumbled down, falling to the ground with a loud "bang."
Huh?
Dane quickly landed and walked towards Clark.
"That really hurt just now!"
Clark gripped Dane's outstretched hand and stood up again.
Dane was pensive; it seemed Clark's resistance to magic lightning was not very strong.
Shazam Force's lightning originates from Zeus's divine power of thunder, which is a very high-level energy, the foundation of the Old Gods.
And Zeus is the King of Gods; in the legends of DCEU, Zeus is not only the King of Gods but also the creator of humans.
Therefore, his status is extremely high, completely different from the Marvel version.
Superman's magic resistance is not actually weak, but compared to his physical resistance, his magicresistance is somewhat unsatisfactory.
But even so, his body cannot be harmed by ordinary magic power, but Zeus's lightning can injure him, which means Shazam has an ace up his sleeve against Kryptonians.
But this is not enough; Zod is a group of Kryptonians, and he must have more trump cards.
"Let's stop sparring here."
The sparring between the two finally ceased, as continuing would easily lead to a real fight.
That would go against their initial intention.
He roughly understood his current power level, which was similar to Superman's when he first encountered the Kryptonian remnants—basic attributes were off the charts, but his methods of engaging enemies were poor.
He and Clark were evenly matched; they threw wild punches, neither willing to concede, but in terms of energy projection, he should have a slight edge.
Because Kryptonians are weak to magic.
It's a pity there's no Kryptonite now; according to the development of the DCEU, Kryptonite will only appear on Earth when Zod activates the World Engine and begins terraforming Earth.
He has no way to collect it now, unless he can go to the Kryptonian ruins, where there would be an endless supply of Kryptonite.
But his magic has not yet reached the level of interstellar travel, so this can only be a thought.
Returning to the Rock of Eternity, Dane found Clark a new set of clothes; he apparently still didn't know how to use his bio-field to protect his clothes.
Dane thought for a moment and asked, "Clark, when were you born?"
He only knew that Superman landed on Earth around the 1980s, but according to Kryptonian technology, it would probably only take a few months to travel from Kryptonian to Earth.
Clark shook his head, "I only know that Jonathan and Martha found me in October 1980."
Dane nodded, so Clark was basically born around 1980; it is now 2005, so he is only 25 years old, no wonder he is so naive.
Dane felt that with a little more effort, he could even suppress him.
It should be noted that Zod invaded Earth in 2013, at which time Superman was over 30 when he debuted, and his physical condition was basically at its peak.
If it weren't for his severe lack of combat experience, and his deliberate restraint, he should have been able to easily defeat warriors like Faora.
Although Superman was beaten helplessly by the Kryptonian female warrior in the movie, to be fair, not only was his skin not broken, but not a single hair was out of place.
Faora probably knew that her attacks were completely ineffective, which is why she bickered with him during the fight, attempting to break him psychologically.
"Do you want to see your father? I mean your biological one," Dane thought for a moment and asked.
Clark was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with confusion.
"You should have the key to the spaceship that brought you to Earth, right?"
Clark nodded, suddenly realizing.
"How do you know?"
Dane tapped his temple, "That key will be an important tool against Zod in the future."
Clark understood; he actually believed Dane's nonsense about predicting the future.
Dane felt guilty for a second and continued:
"That key is also a storage device, like a USB drive, containing your father's digital consciousness."
"So as long as there's a correct port, he can appear and talk to you."
"And coincidentally, I know there's another Kryptonianspaceship hidden on Earth."
Clark was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why are you helping me so much?"
"Because I hope you'll stand with Earth when Zodinvades."
Dane spoke truthfully.
"I don't know if I can do that."
Clark at this time showed the normal confusion of a young man; he couldn't yet resolutely choose Earthand humanity like the Superman in the movie.
Dane understood, so he just patted Clark's shoulder.
"No need to say more, I understand. Anyway, there's still time; it's not a bad thing to see more and think more."
"So, do you want to go see it? Remember to bring the key; that spaceship needs the key to activate."
"Of course, but I left the key at home, so I have to go back and get it first... Oh, why don't you come to my house for a visit too?"
Inviting him like this showed that Clark truly considered him a friend now.
"This... is it convenient?"
"Of course it's convenient; Martha is very hospitable, you'll know when you meet her."
"Then I'll impose. By the way, where do you live?"
"Smallville, Kansas."
Dane's magic moved around him, and the environment around him and Clark instantly changed. Clark recognized at a glance that this was his hometown, Kansas.
He sighed, "You know what? I suddenly envy your abilities now; that way, I wouldn't have so much trouble getting home."
Before he learned to fly, he would often run wildly through uninhabited areas to get home faster.
Even so, he was often photographed, becoming an urban legend.
"It's fine, aren't you flying now? That's no longer a problem."
Clark smiled at the remark, "That's true."
The two laughed and soared into the air; there was no one around, so of course, they flew directly.
