Chapter 238: Return to DC

Watching with his own eyes as Zod resurrected the legendary Reiblandor Alien with that extreme dark power, Tregear's heart was deeply shaken.

However, before that shock could fade, he saw Zod casually create a powerful new Ultraman. Such methods filled him with even more yearning.

At this moment, Zod's voice rang in his ear: "You long for the power of darkness!"

"Yes. I originally thought the existence of the Land of Light was irrational, but after hearing your words, Mr. Zod, I changed my mind."

"However, I still believe that pure light is flawed. Just like the former Director Hikari, who once became Hunter Knight Tsurugi, I feel that only when light and darkness coexist can one be a truly complete individual."

Having already left the Land of Light, Tregear now spoke the words he had long buried in his heart without reservation before Zod.

"So, you believe your current self is incomplete?"

"Yes, I want to truly embrace darkness once."

Listening to the longing in his tone, Zod smiled faintly: "Since that's the case, I shall fulfill your wish."

As he spoke, a wisp of extreme dark power condensed at Zod's fingertip, which he then injected into the blue Color Timer on Tregear's chest.

The intertwining of light and darkness burst forth with an unprecedented amount of energy. The resulting pain caused Tregear's body to tremble violently.

To this, Zod remained indifferent; after all, this was Tregear's own choice.

"Ah!"

Half a quarter-hour later, following a roar of pain, Tregear's form began to change.

Large patches of black stained his originally silver and blue body, black horns extended from his head, and his eyes and the Color Timer on his chest all turned a crimson red.

Zod flew in front of him and asked, "How does it feel to fall into darkness?"

"It has never felt this good."

Tregear looked at his hands; he felt a surge of tyrannical power coursing through his body, no longer possessing that innate sense of 'weakness' characteristic of the Blue Tribe.

He casually threw a punch toward a distant mountain range, and the violent energy directly shattered the entire continuous chain of peaks.

"This is the power. If I had possessed this power back then, I definitely wouldn't have failed the selection."

In truth, most of Tregear's current psychological knots stemmed from his failure to pass the Space Garrison's entrance exam.

Rather than saying he wanted to embrace darkness, it was more accurate to say he wanted to obtain greater power from the darkness to completely erase his former weak self.

"This is only the beginning. Your race's method of evolution dictates that you possess immense potential. In the future, you can acquire many different types of energy, which will make you even stronger."

Because Ultramen are essentially living energy aggregates, they can even transform their forms or gain greater power by merging with the light of other companions.

In the Myriad Heavens and Realms, worlds stronger than the Ultra Universe are everywhere. As long as he followed Zod, obtaining higher-level energy would not be difficult.

Hearing Zod's words, Tregear no longer hesitated. He immediately knelt on one knee and performed a knight's salute to Zod.

Then he swore solemnly: "Respected Lord Zod, from this day forth, Tregear is willing to become the sharpest sword in your hand, never to betray you. Please accept my allegiance."

Hearing this, Zod said calmly, "Remember your oath. Rise!"

"Yes, Lord Zod!"

After everything concluded, Zod stood on Tregear's shoulder and opened a portal back to the DC world in front of him.

"Let's go and see another world where no Ultraman exists."

Hearing this, Tregear did not hesitate for a second and stepped through directly.

On New Krypton, thirteen whole years had passed since Zod's departure.

During this long period, the entire New Krypton had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The most striking was the tree of life, which had once been only a few hundred meters tall but had now climbed to a height of a thousand meters, its massive canopy blotting out the sun.

Similarly, a grand palace that didn't exist before had risen from the ground at some point. A giant golden crystal was embedded at the top of the palace, emitting dazzling light under the scorching sun.

At this moment, a young figure dressed in a black battle suit was soaring into the sky, seemingly trying to break out of New Krypton.

"John is trying again. How many times has it been? Does he still refuse to give up?"

"His genetic system is different from ours. Even after Great Master Leto's adjustments, it cannot support his survival in the vacuum of space. Even if he has cultivated Qi, it probably won't allow him to escape biological physiological functions."

"I heard he's a human child who underwent genetic experiments. I wonder how the General ended up bringing him back."

That figure rushing toward the high altitude was the infant version of Azu that Zod had drawn from the roulette back then; he had also been given the name John.

After these years of growth, Azu had become a fine young man.

He had been modified by Compound V while still in the womb. Although he was claimed to be a perfect experimental subject, he still appeared primitive in the face of Kryptonian biotechnology.

Back then, Leto had specifically formulated a potion for him based on his genetic samples to compensate for his genetic defects.

While this gave him power greater than the original version, it still couldn't make him a true 'Superman'!

Without Zod's permission, Leto and the others did not dare to unilaterally inject him with Kryptonian genetic serum.

Therefore, after sensing he was different from the others, Azu felt unwilling. He wanted to challenge his limits and become stronger.

This wasn't his first attempt, but he had never successfully broken through New Krypton's atmosphere.

However, this time, just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to risk his life for one last desperate push, terrifying spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky above New Krypton.

Such a commotion instantly drew the attention of everyone on New Krypton.

Fiora appeared almost as if teleporting. Having led New Krypton in Zod's stead for over ten years, she now appeared even more capable, and her entire being exuded a majestic Aura.

Over these years, under the dual enhancement of her Super Kryptonian Bloodline and Qi, her strength was worlds apart from what it had been.

Nevertheless, even with her current power, her expression was quite grave in the face of these sudden, terrifying spatial fluctuations.

But a different thought also crossed her mind: "Could it be the General?"

Soon, as Tregear's massive body stepped out of the portal, Fiora's eyes sharpened, but in an instant, they turned into immense joy.

Because she saw that familiar figure, and then she immediately flew toward him at high speed.

The other Super Kryptonians also noticed and followed suit one after another.
