The machine was destroyed, and the red sunlight shining above Clark's head disappeared.
The familiar strength returned to his body, and Clark decisively exerted force with his arms to break free from the constraints of the operating table.
By the time he jumped off the operating table, Danas had already found a strange-looking key from the Kryptonian scientist.
Clark also has a similar key, which was placed in his cradle by his father Jor-El when he left Krypton.
"Why help me?"
Clark asked with a confused look on his face.
Danas shook his head and said in a serious tone: "Listen, Carl, there is no time to explain. I can only tell you that I am your father's hidden man planted by Zod. The rest will be explained after we leave the spaceship."
After saying that, Danas turned around and was about to leave.
Clark subconsciously pulled him back and frowned, "Wait..."
Danas broke free from his arms and said rudely, "Don't wait, I have placed a bomb on the world engine, and it will explode soon!"
Clark was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stopped talking and followed Danas out of the operating room.
Soon, the two of them turned around and came to a metal door.
Danas inserted the key in his hand into the console at the door, then motioned for Clark to open the door.
"What about you?"
Clark asked confusedly as he pressed the key into the console.
Danas didn't answer, but quickly walked to the utility room next to him and carried out an unconscious female Kryptonian.
...It's that Deputy Commander Fiora Earle!
Clark was startled and asked quickly, "Why is she here too?"
Danas glanced at him and said, "My name is Danas Earl, and she is my cousin."
After hearing this, Clark, who holds the values of Earth humans, immediately understood his behavior.
After all, they are family, Danas can't just watch her die, right?
The two walked into the open metal door, behind which were a row of black beetle-shaped spaceships.
Without hesitation, Danas pulled out the key from the console at the door, quickly came to a black beetle spaceship, and used the key to open the rear door of the spaceship.
The two quickly walked into the spaceship.
Danas handed the key to Clark, motioning him to start the spacecraft first, then he reached out and pressed somewhere on the bulkhead.
"laugh--"
Along with the sound of metal opening and closing, a square metal platform suddenly rose in the center of the cabin.
Clark inserted the key into the console and tried to start the spacecraft, while watching Danas's actions in surprise.
He placed Fiora, who was on his shoulder, on the platform and bound her hands and feet with black Kryptonian metal handcuffs. He then summoned a black console on the side of the platform and operated it with both hands.
"laugh--"
There was another soft sound, and the metal bulkhead above Danas's head slowly opened.
A red beam of sunlight shot out from it, shining directly on Fiora, who was unconscious on the platform.
Clark was shocked when he saw this scene.
No one knew better than him how uncomfortable it felt to be exposed to this red sunlight.
He couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing, isn't she your cousin?"
Danas said without looking back: "Yes, but she is also a staunch follower of Zod."
After restraining Fiora and making sure she couldn't break free, Danas turned and looked at Clark.
"Since the destruction of Krypton, these guys have gone crazy. They only want to find the Central Codex and rebuild a new Krypton. Everything they have to sacrifice, even the few remaining Kryptonians, is worth it to them."
"Kal-El, of all the Kryptonians in existence, only you and I are barely considered normal."
Danas turned to look at Fiora on the platform and said calmly: "Although Fiora is my cousin, in her heart, Krypton is far more important than me. If she knew what I did, she would definitely not show mercy to me... Well, there is no time for nonsense, we must leave here as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Danas quickly sat in the driver's seat, controlled the spacecraft to change direction, shot out two blue rays to shatter the cabin wall, and then instantly accelerated and fled from here.
On the way to the earth, looking at the blue planet getting closer and closer, Danas couldn't help but smile.
Although everything went as planned, Danas was still somewhat surprised that the process went so smoothly.
He simply placed a few bombs in the cabin of the world engine, knocked out all the members of his team, and used the bombs to cause some minor commotion.
It's really incredible that such a simple plan could hold Zod back for such a long time.
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
Danas couldn't help but think so while controlling the spaceship.
…
At the same time, on the Krypton spaceship.
A golden-red figure was fighting fiercely with seven or eight black figures.
The speeds of both sides were extremely terrifying, and they collided dozens of times in the cabin almost every second.
Every collision would cause an explosion in the air, causing the air in the entire cabin to tremble.
"boom!"
Two fists are no match for four hands.
Although Diana was on high alert, she was still caught off guard by the siege of many Kryptonian soldiers and was hit hard in the abdomen by the fist of one of them.
In an instant, Diana's body flew backwards, crashed through the bulkhead with a roar, and fell into the next room.
Seeing this scene, General Zod, who was watching coldly, frowned and shouted angrily: "Damn it, how many times have I told you not to destroy the spacecraft!"
The Kryptonian soldiers paused for a moment, then subconsciously slowed down their steps and chased in the direction where Diana disappeared.
…
In the next cabin, Diana, her whole body radiating golden light, stood up from the twisted and concave metal bulkhead, holding her abdomen, and stared with a frown at the Kryptonian soldiers who were chasing her from the hole in the bulkhead.
As a qualified Amazon warrior, Diana would never refuse a battle invitation from a strong man.
But this was the first time Diana had seen such a fierce battle without any beginning or end like today.
She had just boarded the Kryptonian spaceship and hadn't done anything yet when these Kryptonian soldiers swarmed over as if they had seen the murderer of their father, almost confusing the battle-hardened her.
"No, we can't get entangled with them anymore. We must find Clark as soon as possible..."
Diana looked solemnly at the seven or eight Kryptonian soldiers surrounding her in front of her. She suddenly stretched out her right hand, and a heavy giant sword instantly flew up from the ruins next door, cut through the cabin wall, and rushed towards her palm.
The giant sword passed by two Kryptonian soldiers. One of them subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hilt of the giant sword passing by him, and then was pulled off the ground by the terrifying power carried by the giant sword.
As soon as he left the ground, his two companions next to him reacted instantly.
Two muscular arms stretched out at the same time, pressing down on the Kryptonian soldier's shoulders and pushing him back to the ground.
The Kryptonian soldier gripped the hilt of the giant sword with both hands, and with the help of his companions, he controlled the constantly vibrating magical giant sword.
Unable to break free from the giant sword, other Kryptonian soldiers took the opportunity to rush forward and once again fought fiercely with Diana, who had a serious expression.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The sound of air exploding continued to be heard from all over the spacecraft.
But General Zod no longer cared whether the spaceship would be destroyed.
He grabbed the Kryptonian soldier in front of him and stared at him in disbelief.
"What did you say?!"
“Say it to me again!!”
The Kryptonian soldier lowered his head and said in a shameful tone: "Captain, no, Danas Earl, he...he defected!"
General Zod's face was gloomy, and he asked through gritted teeth: "Where is Fiora Earl?"
The Kryptonian soldier replied in shame: "It also... disappeared!"
General Zod pushed away the Kryptonian soldier in front of him, his face turning blue and red.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
General Zod's face changed, his brows furrowed, and he was puzzled.
Danas is the only remaining male of House Earl, his most steadfast followers.
When Zod launched a mutiny, Fiora and her brother and the Earl family were the first to respond. Even though they failed and were locked up in the phantom dimension, the two siblings had no regrets.
Logically speaking, Danas would have rebelled long ago, why did he do it at this time...
"not good!"
General Zod was suddenly startled, and his face changed drastically. He quickly led his men towards the operating room.
Soon, Zod led his men back to the room where Clark was imprisoned and found that Clark on the operating table had disappeared, and was replaced by the Kryptonian scientist who was supposed to extract the Central Codex from Clark.
Zod waved his hand with a grim expression, signaling the Kryptonian soldiers around him to rescue the unconscious scientist.
Then he walked to the operating room's control console and took out a black key with the Zod family's sickle-shaped emblem engraved on the top from his black armor.
As soon as the secret key was inserted into the hub of the console, a strange electronic voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Master key passed, key intelligence is loading..."
"Loading complete, nice to meet you, sir."
General Zod asked grimly, "What happened? Why did the connection go down?"
The Secret Key said intelligently: "This is an order from Deputy Commander Fiora Earle."
General Zod said grimly, "Did you see Fiora issue the order with your own eyes?"
The Secret Key Intelligence replied: "No, the order was conveyed by Danas Earl, the captain of the First Guard."
Hearing this, General Zod's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Quickly mobilize the surveillance on the ship to search for the traces of the traitor Danas Earl!"
"Yes, sir."
As an electronic voice without any emotion sounded, Secret Key Intelligence quickly began to mobilize surveillance.
"Searching in progress. Search completed. The defector Danas Earl and the holder of the Central Codex, Kal-El, have fled to Earth two minutes and thirty-three seconds ago on Earth time, on a Type 4 single-person frigate..."
