Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 141 DC-1 Everything Goes Smoothly

All of this happened very quickly, in less than ten minutes at most.

Before it was completely dark, Clark returned to his farm in Kansas, first reuniting with his adoptive mother, and then revealing his plans.

“Child, don’t worry about anything, go.” Martha smiled as she stroked Clark’s cheek.

Clark nodded, and this time he had no reservations and did not go to the church.

The next morning, Clark voluntarily showed up and followed the military.

The rest of the story is the same as before. Louise Lane was also taken up with her. Before she could say a few words, she became weak due to not being able to adapt to the atmospheric environment of Krypton. Clark Kent did not last long before he fell into a coma.

Dio looked at this strangely.

"Could it be the will of the universe? Is it necessary for Clark to fall unconscious here?"

Dio knew that Zod would use this time to get on with his plans.

After thinking about it, since I've come to the DC universe, could I ask Superman for a drop of his blood after helping him out?

Although I know that the gap between Superman and Kryptonians is even greater than that between Goku and Saiyans, Superman is still one of the basic templates for him, so his path to becoming stronger must be wider.

Just do it if you think of it.

Dio appeared directly.

"who!"

All the Kryptonians were on high alert, because Dio's sudden appearance caught them completely off guard, and some Kryptonians didn't even have a weapon on hand.

General Zod looked at the suddenly appearing Dio with suspicion and uncertainty. He did not hide behind his subordinates, but stepped forward and said, "Who are you? This planet's technology is not advanced enough to enter here silently!"

Dio remained silent, his hands still behind his back, when his psionic magic instantly activated, immobilizing everyone.

“Sorry, I’m too lazy to explain. Let’s wait until Clark wakes up.” With that, Dio stepped forward and looked at Fiora, Zod’s adjutant.

Fiora is a woman with a similar temperament to Wonder Woman, but she is more heroic than Diana.

"She's alright looking, but her overall demeanor really makes her stand out."

Fiora reminded Dio of the woman in the manga "Invincible Boy" who raped the protagonist; they were probably the same type of character, although Fiora died in the movie.

Aside from a few scenes with Clark, he didn't have much screen time, and his death was rather abrupt.

Dio shook his head, and after leaving, he wandered around until he found Clark, who was imprisoned.

"Who are you?" The Kryptonian scientist who had extracted Clark's blood in the room asked in confusion as Dio walked in.

Dio did not reply, but simply took the blood from the other person's hand.

"Alright, he is indeed a Kryptonian, and he also possesses the Life Codex, a secret treasure of your Kryptonians, within his body." Dio glanced at the unconscious Clark and slapped him awake.

Clark was jolted awake by a slap, and in his dazed state, he was slapped again.

“Dio?” Clark asked, puzzled.

He now feels more tired than ever before and is extremely weak.

"What's wrong with me?"

He only remembered that he felt extremely tired shortly after boarding the spaceship and fell asleep immediately.

I vaguely heard Zod say something.

"Get up now that you're awake. You're just not used to Krypton's environment yet. Your body will recover gradually." Dio waved his hand, and all the chains were shattered.

Clark struggled to his feet, panting heavily. His legs gave way upon landing, and he was as weak as a man who had been taken from countless times, unable to straighten up.

The Kryptonian scientist cowered in the corner, trembling, and with a wave of his hand, he released Clark from his restraints—a power never before seen.

Dio didn't help Clark. He glanced at Clark, who was gritting his teeth and trying to stand up while leaning against the wall, and then turned and left.

As for Louise Lane?

Who is she?

Her life or death has nothing to do with Dio.

However, Dio sensed a tremor and activated his telepathy to look towards the source of the tremor. Just like in the original story, Clark's father's artificial intelligence guided Louise Lane. With Dio's immobilization effect, no one stopped her, allowing Louise Lane to return to Earth smoothly.

Incidentally, the artificial intelligence also turned off the spaceship's environmental simulation. Familiar energy spread throughout his body, and Clark stood up as if he had been fully revived.

He was very worried about Louise Lane and wanted to make a hole to get out and rescue her.

However, Dio stopped him.

"She won't die whether you're there or not. Do you remember what's the most important thing right now?"

Clark instantly understood, activated his X-ray vision, and directly located Zod and the others who were frozen on the bridge.

“Zod?” Clark looked at Zod, who was unable to move, with some confusion.

Then, as if struck by a thought, he looked at Dio.

Clark then exclaimed in amazement, "You did this? I never imagined Mr. Dio could control so many people at once!"

Dio snapped his fingers, and everyone on the bridge regained control of their bodies. However, since time was not stopped, everyone's bodies went limp and they almost fell over.

"you!"

Lieutenant Fiora and the other Kryptonians were filled with rage and wanted to teach Dio a lesson, but remembering Dio's strange ability just now, they only took two steps forward and then stopped.

"Alright, don't move." Zod had stopped everyone beforehand.

He stepped forward, bowed to the tall Dio, and said, "Respected strongman, may I ask how I can help you?"

Dio was pleased with the other party's tact and looked at Clark.

"This young man wants to discuss some terms with you. Listen to them; it'll be good for both of you."

Then he pushed Clark in front of Zod.

Seeing this, Zod looked at Clark and said, "Son of Jor-El, do you have anything to say?"

Clark's face twitched.

Goodness, only absolute power can truly subdue people.

When they first came up to me, they treated me with the condescending attitude of an elder looking down on a junior, but now it's completely changed!

Although they said similar things, their tones were completely different.

His initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness is laughable!

For a moment, Clark felt as if a new worldview had opened up to him.

After calming himself down, Clark stated his conditions.

it's actually really easy.

In short, it means we cannot harm a single blade of grass or tree on Earth, or even any living organism.

He not only gave them the Codex of Life, but also the spaceship left behind by Krypton during their colonization of Earth—the one with the embryo culture chamber—to Zod and the others.

While we're at it, let's find another suitable planet and use Zod's instruments to modify its atmosphere and environment so that they can survive in the solar system.

Zod could accept all of this. In any case, if they forcibly occupied Earth, they would face a strong backlash. Moreover, with this powerful figure in front of them, they had no ability to forcibly occupy it.

Even if they manage to take over, they'll still have to rely on themselves to restore the environment from the ruins.

After some thought, Zod agreed.

As for the chosen address?

It definitely can't be Mars, after all, Mars hunters are on Earth and are high-ranking officials in the US military.

Clark chose Saturn's moons at the edge of the solar system!
