The initial reward from the treasure chest was indeed just the Kryptonian Life Codex that originally existed within Superman, but after Kytheron upgraded the treasure chest through a timed mission, the Life Codex, as the initial reward in the treasure chest, was directly upgraded and strengthened by the system.
This upgraded codex not only recorded all the genetic systems and their variant life codes from Kryptonian history, but also included all those who left their names in Kryptonian history. For example, Kytheron saw the forbidden name Portland, who created Doomsday, among them.
Moreover, the codex even included various forms and numerous variants of the Son of Destiny, Superman.
First, there were Superman's variants in various Universes, such as Ultraman of Earth-3, Red Son of Earth-30, and Vampire Superman of Earth-43…
Next, there were Supermen from various eras, whether it was the weakened Bronze Age Superman, the strongest Silver Age Superman, or the Golden Superman, who was the only one to evolve into a five-dimensional god, all were included.
Finally, even some special forms were included, such as the magic-side magic Superman, the quantum-side Quantum Superman, the mechanical-side Mechanical Superman, and the Thought Superman who controlled the Thought Robot…
"I think you shouldn't keep calling it the Life Codex; just change its name to the Superman Codex!"
Kytheron once joked to the AI of this Life Codex.
Because in the entire Life Codex, the most frequently appearing names were Kal-El and Clark Kent, and they both represented the same person.
But unexpectedly, this idiotic AI really changed its name to the Superman Codex, so Kytheron just let him be!
Although the AI was a bit rigid, its function was not small. Kytheron could freely use the ordinary genetic modules in the codex, but some special forms required different activation conditions.
And this time, extracting the Sentinel's super gene by chance activated the Superboy-Prime gene template.
After activation, Kytheron only needed to import this template into any Kryptonian gene owner, and he would immediately become Superboy-Prime, possessing all of his abilities.
Furthermore, even if the character who received these templates died in battle, Kytheron could always complete their rebirth by injecting the template into other people's bodies.
The only regret was that one template could not be simultaneously given to more than one life form.
And these days, what Kytheron had been studying was to completely integrate this upgraded Life Codex into the system he currently controlled.
From the source, all templates were stamped with his own mark.
Kytheron succeeded. Now Kytheron's body was a huge Kryptonian gene treasure trove, because even many forbidden existences that Kryptonian themselves chose to erase could be found in this codex.
At this moment, the authority Kytheron possessed was stronger than Rao, the Kryptonian God who created the Kryptonian race.
Kytheron couldn't help but wonder what Rao would look like if he could cross the Universe to visit the next one someday.
Of course, there was also Darkseid, from whom he snatched a part of the Omega Effect, and his divine kingdom named Apokolips. Just thinking about it was exciting.
"Since the Sentinel can activate Superboy-Prime, I wonder if Gladiator, Hyperion, and Blue Marvel can also help me activate other templates?"
Thinking of this, Kytheron directly opened a space portal beneath the unconscious Sentinel and threw him back to Apokolips.
"Nur, this guy is yours. Keep an eye on him!"
Kytheron instructed Nur from a distance.
"Yes, Lord God!"
Although the Sun rule that Kytheron originally represented had shattered, it did not mean it disappeared, but rather merged into Kytheron's evolved new rule, so the rule branch he bestowed upon Nur was not affected in the slightest.
With that, Kytheron had no attachment to Earth and directly descended upon Shi'ar.
Ancient One felt Kytheron leave, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
She could feel the huge changes in Kytheron, from the initial pity for ordinary life when he first came to Earth, to his current indifference.
The battle between the Sentinel and Hulk just now took place with his tacit approval, and Kytheron coming to her was merely because he didn't want her to interfere with them.
Thinking back to the Phoenix battle she personally participated in, and then learning from Vishanti about the aftermath of Kytheron's battle with Cyttorak, which destroyed many Universes.
Ancient One understood that when standing at Kytheron's height, living beings and the Universe gradually became playthings in his hand.
She could only sigh softly at this.
The Shi'ar Empire was severely weakened after the last Phoenix battle, and the losses suffered by its vast territory spanning several star systems have not yet been fully tallied.
Gladiator, the Imperial Guard Commander, was currently discussing with a group of high-ranking imperial officials how to help the Empire regain its strength in the shortest possible time.
However, the results of the discussion were not so satisfactory, as the losses this time were indeed crippling!
Conservatively estimated, it would take at least twenty years to fully recover to the Empire's peak strength.
However, the only good news was that other cosmic empires and forces were in similar situations to them.
"Commander Gladiator, the personnel to be supplemented for the Imperial Guard will be personally selected by you throughout the entire imperial territory."
After seeing the Mutants on Kytheron's Apokolips who fought against the Phoenix hosts, various empires also had some thoughts.
The Universe was so vast, could they also find such exceptionally talented beings on other Planets?
Then form them into a secret team, such as the Imperial Guard.
"I will begin working on this matter soon."
Of course, Gladiator had no objections to this.
Just as Gladiator finished speaking, Kytheron appeared silently before everyone.
First, they were stunned, and then these high-ranking imperial officials, who had not seen Kytheron's appearance on the front lines, immediately became furious!
This was their Shi'ar Empire's highest council; someone dared to intrude here without authorization.
However, before they could even reprimand him, Gladiator's terrified and anxious voice stopped them:
"Lord God of Apokolips, what brings you to Shi'ar? Please command anything we can do to assist."
As someone who witnessed Kytheron's first confrontation with Cyttorak, Gladiator would never forget Kytheron's incomparably dominant figure in this life.
Facing Kytheron, his confidence plummeted to its lowest, and being able to maintain his body without collapsing was already a testament to his strong will.
And upon hearing Gladiator's words, those high-ranking officials of the Shi'ar Empire were all scared pale, with a few even rolling their eyes and losing consciousness.
"I do indeed have something to do, and only you can do it."
As he spoke, Kytheron gently waved his hand, and Gladiator's body flew uncontrollably towards Kytheron, his eyes filled with fear.
"Lord God, the super gene has been collected, activating codex branch—Ultraman (can be granted)!"
As Kytheron expected, with Gladiator's super gene, Kytheron activated a new template.
It's just that in this Marvel Universe without Kryptonite, Ultraman was useless.
"Although a bit disappointing, it did confirm a fact for me!"
Kytheron casually put Gladiator down, then suddenly disappeared.
Watching Kytheron's sudden appearance and departure, in less than half a minute, Gladiator's heart experienced a repeated leap from the peak to the valley and back to the peak.
