A heat ray shot from Zod's eyes, melting the ice on his body.
"You anger me, and you surprise me. I thought there would be nothing on this planet, besides Kal-El, that could threaten us. But you first killed Nam-Ek, and then severely injured me… You are an excellent warrior, but unfortunately, you are not a Kryptonian, but an Earthling."
Zod coldly stared at Shimizu with his single eye, the red glow in his eyes intensifying, and he shot another heat ray at Shimizu.
With the Speed Force dwindling, Shimizu was now using it sparingly, relying only on the White Knight's own thrusters, combined with the glider and his ability to manipulate air currents, to fly and dodge in the air.
"You're slowing down. It seems your metal shell has good energy output, but insufficient endurance."
Zod coldly pursued, shooting all the way.
Bright red heat rays shot around randomly.
Many buildings in Metropolis were affected, and even a corner of LexCorp's headquarters was cut off by the heat rays.
Until Shimizu dodged all the way, and finally, with nowhere to hide, chose to withstand a heat ray head-on.
Because behind him was his own TSL company's building.
When Shimizu bought this building, the money he spent was in the hundreds of millions!
Inside were also numerous data and equipment related to the research and development of new energy vehicles and other related technologies. If it were destroyed by Zod, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss!
The scorching ray landed on the White Knight, burning the promethium metal shell red and translucent.
Until two more heat rays shot over, not only blocking Zod's heat ray but also pushing it back against him.
In the golden sunlight, the red cape fluttered.
In a short time, Superman had circled the Earth, destroying the planetary modification engine located at the Metropolis Earth anchor point, and successfully returned.
The heat energy was absorbed by the promethium metal, and the White Knight's scorched exterior quickly returned to normal.
"You finally came."
Shimizu looked at Superman standing in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the powerful Superman stood on his side, it could still bring a great sense of security.
"War Machine, thank you for your help. Leave the rest to me."
Superman nodded politely to Shimizu, and then instantly pounced towards Zod.
"War Machine?"
Shimizu wondered.
"That's a code name I gave you to conceal your identity for convenience."
Batman's deep, hoarse voice came through the radio.
"It feels pretty low, but it sounds cooler than Batman or something."
Shimizu said to Batman.
Batman ignored Shimizu's teasing and instead continuously tapped the touchscreen on his arm, controlling the Batplane that had already arrived in Metropolis, based on Barry's trajectory.
Superman had already circled the Earth, and Flash had also completed his acceleration buildup.
In a daze, time seemed to stand still.
A red lightning bolt streaked from the ocean, crossed the vast farms of Kansas, and arrived in Metropolis.
Barry stepped on the outer wall of a building, leaped into the air, and then stepped on the top of the Batplane hovering in mid-air, flying into the high sky.
A Batarang, wrapped with a small amount of Speed Force, was thrown out by Barry.
Then…
"Boom!"
The planetary modification engine exploded, but the matter within rushed towards a certain location.
In the end, half of the entire planetary modification effect was cut away and disappeared by the spatial singularity, and the remaining half turned into shooting stars in the air, dragging their tails as they fell.
"No—!"
Zod roared, staring at Superman.
"You destroyed the possibility of Krypton continuing to exist!"
"But I also preserved the hope of Earth continuing to exist!"
Superman straightened his chest, the S symbol representing hope on his chest was so dazzling in Zod's eyes.
The grappling hook gun was fired, and Batman swung between the tall buildings, landing next to Shimizu.
"We must resolve Zod as soon as possible, otherwise, he will continue to get stronger."
Batman said to Shimizu.
"Superman has the ability to kill him."
"I can see that he is being soft-hearted. If we don't push him to the brink, he won't kill, and this is also a test for him."
"I understand. You don't trust him, so you want to force him to personally kill the current sole leader of the Kryptonians to prove that he is on the side of humanity."
Shimizu saw Batman's intention.
A pledge of allegiance!
"What are you planning to do?"
"Can your armor still use the Speed Force?"
Batman asked back.
"There's a little left."
"I need you to act as the final guarantee."
Batman said, taking out a launcher from under his cape.
"Are you planning to use this thing to deal with Kryptonians?"
Shimizu complained.
Batman glanced at Shimizu and reached out to tap the touchscreen on his arm.
The Batplane parked nearby.
"The plane's rear compartment has a lead lining that can block Kryptonian X-ray vision. You hide in there. Once things get out of control, I will use other means to contain Zod. You are responsible for the fatal blow to kill him, if possible, including Superman."
The side of the plane opened a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
Batman also took out some tools and began to modify the launcher in his hand.
"Do you have other means? What are they?"
Shimizu asked curiously.
But Batman had no intention of showing them, he only said:
"Hurry up, if we continue to delay, Zod will become stronger and stronger, and the danger will become higher and higher!"
Shimizu had no choice but to give Batman a contemptuous look and crawled inside.
The plane took off and concealed itself. Shimizu sat in his seat, watching the scene below through the monitor.
"Alfred."
Batman said in a low voice.
"The Batcomputer has fully analyzed the data of the two Kryptonians and Walter. Master Wayne, next you need to predict the position based on the results of the real-time deduction of the display instrument."
"I know."
Batman responded in a low voice, unbuckling the slot on his left arm, removing the touchscreen, installing it on the launcher, and taking out a magazine and installing it on the bottom.
"Activate the trajectory correction function."
A few seconds later.
With a "bang" of gunfire, multiple bullets were fired simultaneously.
These were not ordinary bullets, but bullets with a special hollow metal structure inlaid with kryptonite support, which could ensure that the kryptonite would not quickly shatter due to external forces during high-speed flight.
In short, these were bullets that could pose a threat to Kryptonians.
