I'm Superman's Brother, But I Got Thanos's Template

Like a mountain crashing down from the front, continuous gravity beams bombarded David's body, driving him into space. His own gravity field couldn't resist it.

"As expected of a weapon capable of reshaping planets.

With my current gravity manipulation abilities, resisting the World Engine's gravity beam bombardment is still too difficult."

Blasted over a thousand miles out from the moon in one go, David clutched his chest. His internal organs felt slightly injured under the immense pressure, but his powerful physique was already healing him. He rapidly charged back towards the moon.

"Kal-El, hand over the Codex, or the next one will be you!"

Bang!

Seeing Kal-El charging in furiously, Zod cracked the ground and met him with a punch. They exchanged blows, each sent flying backward.

Zod got up, touching his aching cheekbone. He wondered if it was an illusion, but Jor-El's son's strength had increased by several times.

Seeing a purple light streaking back towards the horizon, Kal-El secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His anger still unquelled, he charged at Zod once more.

"I don't know about any Codex, but you've definitely angered me, Zod!"

"You will understand!"

Seeing David flying back with green light in his hands, appearing largely unharmed, Zod's heart sank.

"World Engine, target me, fire the gravity beam!"

At the critical moment, he made an immediate decision, shouting.

If David got close to him, his chance of rebuilding Krypton would inevitably fail.

"The Codex is far more important than the World Engine.

Only by obtaining the Codex can Krypton be rebuilt!"

The gravity beam tore through the sky and struck. Zod gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing fiercely, ready for the impact. He was blasted over a thousand miles away from the moon, ending up near the sun.

His power helmet had already been destroyed by Kal-El. He was fully bathed in the yellow sun, and some of his abilities began to awaken.

Chii!

Red light flashed from Zod's eyes, sweeping across space uncontrollably. But in just a few seconds, he learned to control it.

"I feel it, this is easier than I imagined!"

After Krypton's destruction, while searching the universe for any surviving kin and fearing stronger enemies, Zod and his crew had only used filtered yellow sunlight to strengthen their bodies. Other abilities that were difficult to control were temporarily unnecessary, to prevent accidental mishaps.

Zod was born to be a general and had been trained his entire life to master his body and senses. In just a few seconds, he became familiar with his newly awakened abilities: super vision, super hearing, heat vision, and the bio-force field that allowed him to fly. He abandoned the World Engine and accelerated towards Earth.

"Kal-El, whether you know where the Codex is or not, I will find it!"

The World Engine wasn't essential. The example of Jor-El's son proved that Kryptonians could easily survive and thrive on Earth without environmental modification.

But the Codex was indispensable!

"He's likely heading to Metropolis, Kal-El!"

Seeing Zod speeding towards Earth, David immediately realized what he intended to do. He called out to Kal-El, and his body turned into a purple streak of light as he quickly pursued.

Kal-El, known as Superman, frequently appeared in Metropolis. This made it easy to infer that he might live in or even grew up in Metropolis. Zod was heading towards Metropolis.

The moon's gravitational field was less than a tenth of Earth's, far less powerful than the sun's, and it also interfered with the sun's gravitational field.

David's gravity slingshot ability significantly reduced his speed, but it didn't slow him down relative to Zod. Zod had simply departed a step earlier.

"Metropolis!"

Kal-El's heart pounded. He shot into space like a cannonball, rapidly chasing Zod.

The three approached Earth one after another. As Zod flew, he turned back and bombarded the other two with heat vision.

Kal-El dodged while retaliating.

David, however, didn't dodge at all. His eyes released purple rays, bombarding Zod and putting immense pressure on him.

There were satellites orbiting Earth. Zod grabbed one and hurled it fiercely at David. David, with a blank expression, moved like an arrow piercing through everything. Without stopping, he smashed through the satellite as if it were made of paper.

Amidst the explosion.

A satellite launched into space by Wayne Enterprises at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars was directly destroyed. David shot out from the flames, continuing his pursuit.

The three continued to fight during the chase.

In the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor in Gotham, Bruce Wayne's expression darkened as the image before him suddenly went black.

He pressed a button, switching to the perspective of another nearby satellite.

After watching for a few seconds, Bruce Wayne stood up.

"Young master, where are you going?"

Alfred glanced at the screen, where the three were fighting like gods returning from space, a worried look on his face.

"Metropolis."

The landing point of the three, or rather, the landing point of the alien general named Zod, was easy to guess. He was heading straight for Metropolis. Bruce Wayne put on his suit and walked towards the interior of the Batcave, where a new vehicle of his awaited.

Completed not long ago, its cost far exceeded his Batmobile and Batwing. It was named – the Fenrir Armor.

Metropolis streets.

News reports indicated that the spaceship had left Earth's orbit, and the city seemed to have returned to its usual tranquility.

But the people walking on the streets still looked up at the sky from time to time with worry, fearing a sudden alien terrorist attack.

"What is that!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, pointing to the horizon.

A shadow, like a fiery meteor, rubbed against the atmosphere and entered Earth at extreme speed and terrifying posture, flying towards them.

"Run!"

The figure approached in an instant, and the city's inhabitants descended into chaos, fleeing for their lives.

Boom!

Above the city.

Zod abruptly halted his movement, inertia seemingly vanishing upon him, stopping instantaneously. However, the gale and shockwaves he generated shattered the glass of surrounding skyscrapers, sending shards raining down, injuring many.

"Help me!"

"Run, aliens are attacking Earth!"

Screams and wails filled the streets below. He ignored them, turning his head with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Almost instantly.

David and Clark pursued him through the air.

"Stop right there!"

From hundreds of meters away, Zod's eyes lit up with a dangerous red glow, threatening them, "If you don't want to see this district destroyed in the next second!"

"Wait a moment!"

Clark, who understood the power of Kryptonian Heat Vision better than anyone, flinched and quickly stopped, blocking David. The two halted in mid-air, facing Zod from a distance.

David scanned the area below, then fixed his gaze on Zod.

"War involves civilians.

Don't you think these tactics are despicable."

"War is inherently dirty, young man."

Zod laughed dismissively.

"As long as Krypton can be re-established in the world, I am willing to do anything for my people."

"On the contrary, you—Kal-El!

You are a Kryptonian, Kryptonian blood flows in your veins, yet you help Earthlings fight me and my subordinates!"

He pointed directly at Clark, condemning him loudly, his voice booming with anger.

"What do you want, Zod?"

Trying to tell himself not to act impulsively, Clark clenched his fist and asked.

"Bring me the ship you used to come to this planet, and!..."

Zod looked at David, "Get rid of what you're holding."

"Now, immediately!"

"Do you think I will be threatened by you!"

David narrowed his eyes.

The meteorite solution in his hand, he had protected it well from returning to Earth from the moon, through the explosion of satellites, precisely to deal with Zod. Zod had unleashed Heat Vision attacks several times during that period, but he hadn't let him succeed.

"David!" Clark quickly urged David to do as Zod said first, to stabilize him, and then find a solution. "Even with our speed, we won't be able to subdue him before he unleashes Heat Vision."

David admitted Clark was right.

His speed wasn't enough, and his gravity manipulation ability wasn't yet capable of distorting lasers.

"You want to defeat the enemy through compromise!"

But compromise would only embolden the enemy, and if unsatisfied, they would immediately turn hostile, rendering it useless.

"Keep him occupied for now. The police in the city have started evacuating the crowds. Every second we delay, one more person might be saved."

Listening to the sounds from the surrounding districts, Clark grabbed his shoulder and whispered urgently.

David frowned.

In the original plot, Zod activated the World Engine on Earth and began his plan to terraform the planet. Metropolis city center suffered heavy casualties instantly, and Clark, filled with rage, stopped Zod before he could cause more damage, engaging in a fierce battle with him throughout the city.

Now, due to his interference, not a single person on Earth had died.

Clark's desire to protect everyone from harm had, ironically, become leverage for Zod.

Looking at Clark's urgent gaze, David summoned cosmic energy in his hand, evaporating the Kryptonite solution he held.

"It seems Zod has only learned to activate and deactivate his additional abilities, without fully mastering them."

Seeing Zod's expression ease, his eyes flickered. He still had a vial of Kryptonian solution at his waist, but Zod didn't know about it and didn't press further.

"Actually, it wouldn't matter even if the Kryptonian solution at my waist was discovered. This is only a few seconds' round trip from home."

Now, as long as he had a suitable opportunity to get close, he could still take down Zod in an instant.

Swish!

Clark disappeared and reappeared two or three seconds later. He retrieved the spaceship from the cellar without disturbing his parents and threw it onto the street where people were scattering.

"Here's what you want, Zod!"

"This way! Hurry and leave!"

"Follow me, don't crowd!"

The police on the street received orders to rapidly evacuate people from the street and surrounding buildings, but the chaos slowed down the evacuation process.

Looking around, Clark was secretly anxious.

"Faster."

Zod landed, wary of the two, and quickly dismantled the spaceship piece by piece, not even sparing parts the size of a fist.

"Nothing, it's all gone! Where did you hide the Codex?!"

Unable to find what he wanted, he roared in anger. The uncontrolled rage, accompanied by his world-destroying heat vision, was unleashed. Several surrounding buildings were instantly pierced and cut in half!

"No!"

Clark roared, trying desperately to dodge and support one of the buildings, but he couldn't disengage from the rest. His bio-field couldn't extend remotely.

[Template Fusion 50%]

Seeing several buildings about to collapse and fall, David waved his hand, and a gravity field stabilized the buildings.

The template fusion had progressed further, and he had gained new abilities. He could now alter the weight of objects for extended periods, making islands as light as feathers or feathers as heavy as mountains. Although it had little effect on combat for now, it could be used for rescue.

He altered the gravity in several parts of the building's structure, making the broken buildings stand firm again.

However, Zod's heat vision had just swept through the floors, and the hundreds of people inside the buildings who hadn't evacuated in time could not be resurrected.

"Give me the Codex, Kal-El. Otherwise, I will turn this city into ruins!"

Zod roared madly, shooting out like a cannonball, knocking Clark away. He pinned Clark's head down, crashing through several buildings.

"There must be someone you know here. If you don't want them to die, give me the Codex!"

"Enough!"

His super-vision, capable of seeing through objects, allowed him to clearly see hundreds more bodies appearing in the city in the blink of an eye. Clark, feeling wronged and enraged, his eyes turned red, harbored murderous intent. He threw a punch hard into Zod's face, and they began to fight.

"I won't let you kill anyone else, Zod!"

He had no idea what the Codex was. How could he possibly produce it when Zod asked for it? Hundreds had already died!

In fact, the Codex had been sent onto the spaceship by Jor-El, but Clark didn't know that. The Codex, containing the genes of billions of Kryptonians, had been injected into him by his father. He himself was the living Codex.

David was about to go up and subdue Zod with them, but in the blink of an eye, a meteor streaked across the sky and slammed into him, sending him hurtling towards the earth.

Several city blocks shook, and a long trench spanning the street tore through the ground.

"Faora!"

Waving away the person pressing down on him, David floated up and narrowed his eyes.

"Anyone who stops General Zod and disrupts the rebirth of Krypton will be destroyed!"

Inside a brand-new battle suit, Faora, covered in dirt, with burning rage in her eyes, swung her fists. Her formidable strength compressed the air as if it were solid, striking towards him!

Among all Kryptonians, only Faora, besides Zod, was qualified to operate the World Engine and had the aptitude to quickly master newly emerging abilities. She wiped the Kryptonian solution from her face with moon dust, changed into a new battle suit, and launched herself into space, following the three of them.

Boom!

The shockwave exploded outwards, and David easily caught her fist.

However, separated by a brand-new, externally isolated battle suit, the meteorite solution couldn't take effect. He frowned, and with a burst of cosmic energy, he sent Faora flying, intending to fly towards Zod.

Unlike Faora, Zod's battle suit's helmet had long been shattered. He just needed to go up and subdue him.

But Faora turned in mid-air and attacked again, clinging to him fearlessly. Meanwhile, Clark and Zod were fighting further and further away, with Clark trying to lure Zod out of the city.

"Need a hand!"

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice came from the rooftop of a tall building. A massive Batman armor, nearly three meters tall, with thick limbs and a body forged from an unknown metal, seemed to contain infinite power.

"Batman?"

The armor's style resembled a bat without wings, fierce and terrifying, evoking the word "monster." David recognized the style immediately.

"No need. This guy isn't someone an ordinary person can handle."

Catching Faora's attack, he countered with an even heavier punch, sending her flying back dozens of meters. He politely refused.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Bruce Wayne manipulated the armor, firing a Bat-grapple that locked onto one of Faora's legs as she charged at David again. With a fierce pull, the Kryptonian Faora was dragged towards him on the rooftop by immense strength.
