Azuma darted aside, dodging the attack, but Zod wasn't letting him off that easily. The heat vision chased after him relentlessly.
"I'll help you!"
Clark rushed in, slamming into Zod amidst the ruins and sending him flying. The two tangled up, trading blows—one punch from you, one from me—as they barreled into the distance.
"Hey! Don't steal my kill!"
Azuma shouted, then zipped after them in an instant.
Zod still couldn't fly. He clung to Clark to keep from falling, all while hammering his right fist into Clark's body and face.
Clark, tough as nails, took every hit without a grunt, enduring it all.
Their brawl carried them from Metropolis to the sea, then across to the opposite shore of the bay.
This was Gotham—that famously "simple and honest" Gotham City, right next door to Metropolis, an old neighbor.
When Metropolis was dealing with aliens earlier, plenty of Gothamites had been spectating.
Some criminals even cheered that the aliens would wipe out humanity, laughing hysterically as if they weren't part of the species themselves.
But now—
As Clark and Zod's fight spilled into Gotham—
The popcorn-munching, cola-sipping onlookers of Gotham lost their cool!
"Run! The aliens are fighting over here!!"
Someone yelled, rallying their buddies to flee.
"Hahaha! Fight! Keep fighting!"
Another lunatic screamed from a rooftop, only to get his head smashed by a stray chunk of debris, half his body obliterated in an instant!
On the streets, traffic ground to a halt.
Drivers abandoned their cars, opting to escape on foot.
At that moment—
Clark grabbed Zod and slammed him into a building, using his body to smash through steel and concrete. After punching through the structure, he hurled Zod into a construction site still under development.
With a thunderous BOOM, Zod crashed into a pile of thick steel beams, bending the sturdy metal on impact!
Bang!
Clark landed, striding toward Zod as he struggled to his feet.
"Zod, give up!"
Clark shouted.
But the next second, Zod roared and unleashed a massive beam of heat vision from his eyes, blasting Clark full-force.
With a bang, Clark's body was hurled backward.
He crashed through two buildings before finally halting the momentum!
Hovering midair, Clark shook his head sharply, then glared at Zod on the distant construction site, anger flaring.
Ungrateful bastard—still not giving up after all this?
Clark's fury ignited.
Just as he prepared to teach Zod a lesson and make him see he had no chance of winning, Azuma's figure appeared behind Zod—and with one kick, sent him flying like a soccer ball!
BOOM!
Zod's body shot diagonally upward, crashing through a towering skyscraper before coming to a stop.
"AAAAHHH!!!"
Perched atop the building, Zod roared, unleashing an even thicker beam of heat vision that sliced the skyscraper in half from top to bottom!
"Damn traitors! I'll make you pay!!!"
Zod's bellow echoed across Gotham. Standing in the sky like a demon, his scarlet heat vision carved through the earth like a hot knife through cheese.
In Gotham, screams wove into a chaotic symphony.
With a bang, Azuma vanished, reappearing right in front of Zod.
"Zod, you're finished!"
He shouted, firing an even more blinding heat vision from his eyes straight at Zod.
Their beams clashed midair. Then Azuma's heat vision overwhelmed Zod's, pushing it back with crushing force until it slammed into Zod himself!
"AAAAHHH!!!"
Zod threw his head back, screaming in agony as his Kryptonian armor peeled away, revealing the tight black suit beneath.
In the distance—
Clark watched, jaw dropping in shock.
"How did Azuma get so strong all of a sudden?!"
Clark muttered, stunned.
At that moment—
Azuma, still airborne, pressed his assault, closing in on Zod. One hand seized Zod's head, the other grabbed his right arm and snapped it with a wrench!
Zod's agonized scream reverberated through Gotham. Even the most hardened criminals trembled, collapsing to the ground, unable to stand.
Crack!
Another bone-shattering sound.
Azuma broke Zod's other arm, then gripped his head, forcing him to meet his gaze.
"Traitors! You're all Krypton's traitors!!!"
Zod wailed in torment.
But Azuma's face showed no trace of pity.
"The whining of a loser. Take your pain and regret to hell!"
The moment his words fell, a terrifying burst of heat vision erupted, blasting straight into Zod's eyes!
"AAAAHHH!!!"
The excruciating pain drove Zod into a frenzy of挣扎.
But with both arms broken, he couldn't break free from Azuma's hold.
Ten seconds later—
Pop!
Zod's eyeballs melted and burst, followed by his brain!
As Azuma's heat vision liquefied his brain, Zod's screams cut off abruptly.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission achievement "Defeat General Zod." Mission Achievement Reward: +2 Extraction Count!]
Only when the system's chime sounded did Azuma's heat vision fade, the scarlet glow dimming. Even with his physique, his eyes felt a slight sting and burn.
But as a cloud drifted aside overhead, sunlight bathed him. The warmth washed over him, and the discomfort in his eyes vanished instantly!
