Chapitre 121: Chapter 121: Thrashing
H'el smiled.
Kalu-Zod actually thought that with his newly activated powers, he could harm him.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" H'el's mouth curled with a hint of amusement.
The current Kalu-Zod and the Kalu-Zod from their first meeting were almost identical.
Both were filled with confidence in their genetic potential as generals, showcasing the full extent of the Kryptonian belief in genetic superiority.
In reality, there was no difference between them and Tyler-Wex, which was the prevalent, almost subconscious, mainstream on Krypton—the belief in genetic superiority.
The only difference was the extent to which they worked to unleash their potential.
They didn't even realize that something was amiss.
After all, on Krypton, genetic potential was truly an insurmountable barrier.
There was a stark contrast between those with specialized genetic potential and those without.
And the genetic potential exclusive to combat generals had already elevated the aspect of battle to an art form. Kalu-Zod believed he was too strong, capable of harming H'el. This couldn't be considered an unfounded claim but rather a clear self-awareness of his own abilities.
How could a scientist compare in combat and strength to a general?
Kalu-Zod's face twitched, reminded by H'el, recalling the past when he was beaten by H'el.
"Cough... cough... Things are different now. With the activation of the Kryptonian genes, I finally understand the immense power behind the legends and myths of Krypton." Kalu-Zod awkwardly concealed the embarrassing memories of his youth.
His youth was indeed heroic, looking up to the sky. If it weren't for H'el and General Zod's beatings, Kalu-Zod might have ended up becoming someone like Taylor-Wex.
Education played a crucial role. It shaped him into the person he aspired to be.
"Today is just like the past," H'el's gaze carried a playful smile as he looked at Kalu-Zod.
Upon hearing H'el's words, Kalu-Zod's awkward heart skipped a beat as he looked at H'el. In this moment, H'el was just like the person he first encountered in the training room, facing the confident and self-assured version of himself with his head held high. H'el wore the same smile.
The faces of the past and present overlapped. Suddenly, Kalu-Zod realized that he was still the confident and passionate youth, while H'el remained the person who faced his challenges with a smile, the one who beat him mercilessly.
"I humbly request Your Majesty's guidance."
Kalu's face suddenly turned serious, his gaze filled with determination as he advanced, launching an attack towards H'el's arm with a movement that couldn't be considered slow, but even the soldiers could clearly see the force behind it as he threw a punch.
In order to avoid causing any harm to H'el and out of respect for his authority, Kalu controlled the immense power he had just obtained, restraining it to only one-tenth of its full strength.
One-tenth of the strength still amounted to a force surpassing hundreds of thousands of tons, a power that surpassed the capabilities of any ordinary being.
As he approached H'el, Kalu once again struggled to decrease his strength.
'Smack!'
H'el extended his palm, lightly blocking Kalu's fist.
"Didn't you have your meal?" H'el recalled their initial conversation when they first met. Back then, it was meant to provoke the young and naive Kalu, but now it served to ignite his seriousness.
H'el's palm gently pushed, causing Kalu's fist to be pushed back by the overwhelming force. A power that seemed capable of toppling mountains and shattering the earth vibrated through his bones, shaking his muscles, making it difficult for Kalu to maintain his balance. He abruptly took three or four steps back before halting the immense strength.
Kalu didn't know the full extent of his power, but he knew he was hundreds of thousands of times stronger than his previous self. With his own strength exceeding millions of tons, and relying on the instincts honed through long-term training, there was simply no one who could push him back or shake him in any way.
Kalu's eyes flickered with an incredulous gaze. In this moment, he realized once again that he had been too arrogant, still displaying his ignorance and foolishness in front of H'el.
There will always be someone stronger than oneself!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Kalu's eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit as he shouted, like a charging tank, rushing forward, his fist tearing through the air, aiming for H'el.
This time, he increased his strength to about thirty percent.
H'el still extended his palm to meet him, and Kalu's fist struck H'el's palm without hesitation.
'Bang—'
The air was compressed by a powerful force within a small area, creating a violent sonic boom. The shockwave spread throughout the entire underground plaza, and the soldiers stared in astonishment at Kalu-Zod, who unleashed the power of the sonic boom.
Kalu was like an unstoppable pile driver, increasing the force and exerting seventy percent of his strength.
Around H'el, in every direction, there were only the massive and ferocious figures of Kalu-Zod, like a raging storm and a surging ocean.
Raging waves of energy rolled and swept across the soldiers' faces, leaving them wide-eyed as they watched helplessly while H'el effortlessly defended against Kalu-Zod's attacks.
In the soldiers' eyes, Kalu-Zod had transformed into a violent black shadow, unleashing a barrage of explosive sounds as he relentlessly bombarded H'el. The shockwaves continuously assaulted their faces and eyes.
All they could clearly see was H'el's unmoving figure, effortlessly blocking Kalu-Zod's strikes.
Suddenly, with a loud bang and a burst of sound, H'el caught Kalu-Zod's massive fist. The scene froze as Kalu-Zod tried to exert all his power, his arm trembling uncontrollably on H'el's fingers. H'el's eyes sparkled with a playful glint.
Kalu-Zod's heart skipped a beat, sensing the danger. His vision began to spin, and he found himself held captive by H'el, who wildly swung his fist from left to right, smashing it into the ground. The metallic surface resonated with booming sounds, creating large craters.
Boom, boom, boom...
The entire underground plaza rumbled as if an earthquake had struck. H'el looked like a child with his beloved toy, repeatedly slamming Kalu-Zod into the ground until he was dazed and disoriented. The soldiers witnessed this scene, their expressions frozen, unable to bear the sight.
H'el casually grabbed Kalu-Zod and spun rapidly in place, creating a whirlwind of scorching hot air that turned the steel surface red. Kalu-Zod's vision was filled with blurred lines as he was flung into the wall and embedded in a large dent.
As H'el's playful mood arose, he took a step forward toward the soldiers. Overwhelmed by H'el's residual ferocity, the soldiers instinctively stepped back.
"Attack me, all of you! Let me see the will of the Kryptonian soldiers who will accompany me in conquering the stars!" H'el shouted, standing tall and proud like a towering pillar, causing the soldiers to avert their gaze.
The soldiers exchanged glances, but none dared to make a move.
"We obey Your Majesty's command!"
"Let Your Majesty witness the bravery and fearlessness of the Kryptonian warriors!"
Kalu-Zod climbed out of the metal wall, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit, his face contorted in rage. His tensed muscles revealed a strong physique of 2.5 meters in height, roaring like a furious beast.
"Kryptonian army, charge!"
With bulging veins on his neck and a flushed face, Kalu-Zod led the way, roaring as he charged forward.
Seventy thousand Kryptonian soldiers, newly infused with the power of the Kryptonian gene and consumed by a desire for destruction, exhaled heavily, following Kalu-Zod with bloodshot eyes as they surged towards H'el!
The underground plaza resounded with intense physical impacts.
Five minutes later.
H'el, content in body and mind, walked out of the plaza's entrance, leaving behind an invincible and godly image.
The soldiers lay scattered everywhere, suppressing the pain of broken bones as they watched the figure of their Emperor H'el, their hearts filled with intense admiration.
"I thought the Emperor's talk of conquering the stars was merely an ideal, but I never expected..."
"New Krypton is great because of the Emperor!"
"We are willing to fight for the Emperor until death!"
