It was only when the two massive psychic energies dissipated that everyone seemed to awaken from a dream.
Those with slightly weaker psychic resistance now had red eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably, and faces filled with sorrow.
Because in that instant illusion, they simultaneously experienced the equally tragic fate of Martian Manhunter in two worlds.
"Was that Jonn's past?"
"They are two different worlds, how can their fates be so similar?"
As Kryptonians, Superman and Supergirl naturally felt the destructive fate more deeply.
And while Alex and the others had heard Jonn speak of his past experiences, experiencing it firsthand now, the sorrow was completely uncontrollable.
"Everyone, we are very sorry. We failed to control our powers and caused you undue suffering."
At this moment, the two Martian Manhunters simultaneously bowed and apologized to everyone.
Originally, with their psychic control, such a thing would never have happened, but that strange feeling just now had put them in an uncontrollable situation.
Immediately, they jointly used their psychic abilities to soothe the lingering sorrow in everyone's hearts.
In an instant, everyone who had been immersed in uncontrollable grief calmed down.
At this point, Zod spoke, "It seems you are ready. Then let's skip the pleasantries; the battle will begin immediately!"
With that, he raised his hand, and space instantly twisted. The next moment, everyone was transferred above Nano City.
Zod used his spatial power to construct a vast void domain, and then he released his Divine Tower to suppress this entire space, serving as the battle arena.
Everyone looked at his actions, their shock beyond words.
Such a commotion also attracted countless gazes from the ground.
Zod could keenly sense that tens of thousands of satellites in orbit above this Earth were monitoring everything happening here in real-time.
For this battle, Martian Manhunter had long reported it to the female president, who was also an alien.
And she, of course, immediately relayed the message to all other heads of state on Earth through her executive order.
Therefore, in just a few short minutes, the main leaders of many countries on Earth had already received the satellite images.
Zod, of course, didn't care about this; after all, a battle without an audience would be quite boring!
Mon-El's mood was incredibly heavy at this moment. The power Zod displayed had reached a level he simply couldn't comprehend.
However, fortunately, Zod himself wouldn't be taking action this time; otherwise, he felt that he and the others probably wouldn't have any chance at all.
Looking at the two people standing beside Zod, plus a small robot, Mon-El pondered who should be his opponent.
Having just experienced Martian Manhunter's psychic power, he felt that if he was careful, there might be a chance of winning.
And Fiora, standing by Zod's side in battle armor, with her sharp aura and a faint sense from her bloodline, made him realize that this female warrior was a true Kryptonian.
However, she was wearing battle armor; if they couldn't find an opportunity to destroy it, then kryptonite might not be effective.
As for Hope, although he couldn't see anything special about her, being chosen by Zod to fight suggested she was no simple character.
Just then, Zod directly said to his son beside him, "Hope, you will represent New Krypton in this first battle!"
"Yes, Father!"
At this moment, Hope walked into the arena, her golden eyes looking at the crowd opposite as she said, "May I ask, among you, who will be my opponent?"
Superman, Supergirl, and Mon-El exchanged glances, and in the end, Supergirl Kara flew out.
"Hello, I am Kara Zor-El. I will be your opponent. Can you tell me your name?"
Kara stated her Kryptonian name.
"I know you. I've seen your information in the Kryptonian database. Daughter of Zor-El, one of the Kryptonian survivors. My name is Hope, son of Zod."
"You are General Zod's child?"
"That's right, Father granted me life and soul."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again. Granting life and soul to a mechanical body—this was a power that only legendary gods would possess.
At this point, Hope said to Kara, "May we begin?"
"Of course, then let's go. I won't hold back. I will prove that I am definitely not a disgrace to Krypton."
Zod, observing from the sidelines, heard her words and a slight smile played at the corner of his mouth: "It seems she really took that previous comment to heart."
However, this proof might not be so easy to achieve.
The moment Supergirl's words fell, her speed surged, and she appeared before Hope almost instantly, throwing a punch.
She held no contempt for Hope in her heart.
"Bang!"
A dull metallic clanging sound rang out, and Supergirl's punch was easily blocked.
This wasn't because Hope's own strength was so great, but entirely because he used his special ability to directly absorb the energy unleashed by that punch!
After being transformed into a true life form, Hope can now absorb any form of energy and convert it into power he can wield.
The kinetic energy generated by Supergirl's punch was just a form of energy, and in Hope's eyes, there was no difference.
Seeing this, Supergirl was somewhat incredulous, but then she stubbornly continued to launch successive attacks on Hope from various directions.
Immediately, a series of heavy impact sounds filled the air.
Although Supergirl attacked very fiercely, the onlookers noticed something amiss: there was no sign of energy leakage around the two of them.
It's worth noting that in past battles they had experienced, when facing powerful opponents, mutual attacks would inevitably produce residual waves that caused destruction.
But now, apart from a series of dull thuds, there was no other movement.
Seeing that her punches and kicks were ineffective, Supergirl turned and retreated to create distance, then gathered energy in her eyes.
The next moment, two light blue heat visions shot out from her eyes.
Unfortunately, such an attack had no effect on Hope; instead, it allowed him to quickly begin absorbing the energy from Supergirl's body.
At this point, Superman and the others observing finally noticed this.
"If I'm not mistaken, that robotic life form called Hope should have the ability to absorb various forms of energy!"
"That means all the energy generated by Kara's attacks were absorbed by him!"
"Doesn't that mean Kara is naturally restrained by him?"
And Supergirl, feeling the rapid loss of energy within her body, had no choice but to cut off her heat vision.
Hope, seeing this, said, "Ms. Kara, since your attack is over, it's my turn!"
As her voice fell, Hope extended her hand directly towards Supergirl. Instantly, a gravity beam descended from the sky, enveloping Supergirl.
Then the gravitational constant around her began to rapidly increase, reaching several thousand times normal gravity in a moment.
Controlling gravity, this was an ability possessed by the mother box, and Hope could naturally use it at will.
"The gravity around my body has changed!"
The sudden change made Supergirl stumble. She felt her whole body become heavy.
Even so, the powerful physique of a Kryptonian still allowed her to fly against the high gravity, trying to escape the control range.
However, how could Hope give up so easily? He spread his hands to both sides, and instantly the range of the gravity beam expanded dozens of times, and the gravitational constant directly increased to thirty thousand times.
At this point, Supergirl finally couldn't maintain her flying posture and fell, but she could still barely stand up, though launching further attacks was unlikely.
Hope stepped forward, raised his hand to condense a divine power longsword, and pointed it at Supergirl, saying, "Ms. Kara, do you concede?"
Looking at the energy longsword radiating a threatening aura, every cell in Supergirl's body seemed to be frantically warning her.
Mon-El and the others watching immediately shouted to her, "Kara, don't be stubborn, we're here for you."
Hearing their shouts, Supergirl took a deep breath and said, "I concede!"
