"I go!"
Yi Shuihan, who was originally watching the show with peace of mind, couldn't sit still any longer. If they continued to watch, and the two of them fought more intensely, it would be too easy for hundreds of people to die.
"Let's switch battlefields."
Yi Shuihan first knocked Fiora unconscious with a chop to the neck, then draped a piece of clothing over her to cover her up. After that, he instructed the doctor, whose injuries had been initially stabilized, to watch over Fiora. Then, he used Apparition to appear on the battlefield between Zod and Superman.
"Gentlemen, would you mind changing the battlefield?"
After saying that, he grabbed Zod's shoulder with one hand. At that moment, Zod was holding Superman down with one hand and punching him hard with the other.
The three figures vanished abruptly into the city, silencing the once bustling city. After a brief silence, a burst of cheers erupted.
20 kilometers from the military base in the desert, Yi Shuihan and his two companions appeared.
The sudden change left Zod somewhat bewildered, while Superman took advantage of the opportunity to break free from Zod.
"Thank you"
Superman thanked Yi Shuihan, and at the same time felt much more relaxed. Knowing Yi Shuihan's strength, he believed that if the two of them joined forces, Zod would definitely not be a match for them.
"Alright, you can continue. I'll just keep an eye on things; after all, it's a matter for your race."
Yi Shuihan's words stunned Superman.
"You don't actually think I'm trying to steal your opponent, do you? Don't worry, I'm definitely not that kind of person. How could I possibly interfere in such a fair duel?"
The righteous and righteous voice really confused Clark, who thought that Yi Shuihan was unwilling to join forces against Zod because of him. Just as he was about to express that he didn't mind, Yi Shuihan pushed him towards Zod.
Faced with Zod's relentless attack, Superman could only defend himself and had no time to express his thoughts.
The battle between the two Kryptonians was so earth-shattering that it was fortunate they were in a desert; otherwise, the aftershocks alone could have destroyed a city.
The fight, with its punches and kicks landing squarely, was quite a sight to behold, at least for Yi Shuihan, who found it all very enjoyable.
"Zod, your plan has failed. Give up! Leave Earth and never come back."
"Give up? It was you who ruined Krypton. We had a chance to be glorious again, but because of your selfishness, you traitor to your race, I must kill you, and then kill everyone else on this planet."
Enraged, Zod issued a terrifying declaration, his murderous aura leaving no room for doubt about his resolve.
"Even if I don't stop you, you won't succeed. The Earth isn't as simple as you think."
Superman realized this after meeting Yi Shuihan.
Zod naturally wouldn't believe Superman's words. By this point, he had gone mad. No matter what Superman said, he wouldn't believe that there was a powerful being on this planet capable of stopping them, the Kryptonians. He blamed the defeat entirely on Clark, who was also of the same race.
Without the stimulation of Zod killing people, Superman really can't unleash his full power. Plus, Zod gets stronger with each fight, constantly adapting to Earth's environment and becoming even stronger due to exposure to sunlight. If this continues, Zod might actually be able to defeat Superman, which would be hilarious.
"Clark, hang in there! Think of Louise. If you die, I can't guarantee her safety."
Since he had changed the plot himself, he had to take some responsibility, so Yi Shuihan shamelessly shouted something.
Superman, who practically considered Lois his woman, indeed became much stronger after hearing this. Of course, if Zod hadn't threatened him again, he probably still wouldn't have been able to defeat him for the time being.
"After I kill you, I will bring that woman named Louise to your corpse and torture her to death. Don't worry, she won't die so easily, I promise."
As if his sore spot had been touched, Superman went into overdrive. Zod, who had initially held a slight advantage, was instantly overwhelmed and turned into a punching bag, being sent flying from the ground into the air and then slammed back to the ground.
Like a plowing field, a plow mark stretching for several kilometers appeared on the desert.
Clark even dared to wear his underwear inside out. Such a tough guy, yet you still dared to provoke others and get beaten up. You only have yourself to blame.
Zod, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, had no strength to fight back. Although he roared and struggled, it was all in vain.
"Come on! Kill me, do it now, or I'll kill all the people on Earth."
Zod roared angrily. At this point, he was basically in a state of wanting to die, wanting Superman to give him a quick death.
Clark, though he had vented his anger, was not so clean and decisive. He was still struggling internally and could not bring himself to kill Zod, who might be the last of his kind.
He was unaware that another Fiora was still alive, which is why he believed that Zod was the last of his kind.
If Clark himself also considers his own race's identity, Zod is not wrong in some ways; he is not an absolute villain, which makes it even more difficult for Superman to take action against him.
"what should I do?"
Clark looked at Yi Shuihan, who was watching the show just a few meters away, with a bewildered expression, perhaps hoping that Yi Shuihan would give him some motivation.
"Rumble..."
The sound of airplanes filled the air, and soon a group of fighter jets and armored vehicles arrived on the battlefield.
"Do it! Otherwise, you can just watch these weak Earthlings die."
Zod's eyes began to redden, his heat vision fixed on the approaching army, gathering energy.
"Stop, stop."
No matter what Clark did, Zod's eyes did not change direction.
In the nick of time, Clark closed his eyes, and with a sudden burst of strength, snapped Zod's neck, ending the fight.
Chapter 660, The Appearance of a Primary School Bully
When the soldiers arrived at the scene and saw Zod's body, they looked at Clark with awe. Clark's power instilled fear in them from the bottom of their hearts; it was the instinct of weak creatures facing the strong.
Although Clark was a hero who saved the Earth and killed his own people in a noble act, very few people could truly face Clark with a calm mind.
Clearly not in the mood for a welcome party with the military, Clark, who had just killed someone, looked around and felt uncomfortable under the gazes of the people around him. He simply pushed himself up with both hands, soared into the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"We meet again, General."
Yi Shuihan did greet the black general in a friendly manner, but the other party didn't seem to be particularly fond of him. Although he returned the greeting with a smile and words of thanks, the strong sense of alienation in his heart was impossible to hide.
Yi Shuihan, of course, had no intention of continuing to fawn over Zod's corpse, and walked up to him.
This action caught the attention of many in the military, as they were also interested in Zod's corpse and wanted to use it to study the secrets of the Kryptonians' power and some weapons that could counter them.
Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. Superman is currently on the side of Earthlings, but who knows when the other side might change? Some necessary defensive measures are definitely necessary.
"Should we take him with us? Forget it, if we want to study him, we can just ask Clark. Let Luther study this one."
After Yi Shuihan disappeared, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take his body away and hand it over to the research institute. Leave everything else behind. We must find out the Kryptonians' weaknesses."
Superman's battle made the whole world realize one thing: the weakness of humanity. In the face of the unreasonable race of Kryptonians, Earthlings are so ridiculous. This made everyone realize the vastness of the universe.
Humanity's awe of the universe has re-emerged because of the modern technological explosion, which has made many things that were previously impossible possible. As a result, the sense of infallibility that arose, as well as the dream that Earthlings are the strongest, have been shattered.
The Kryptonian threat has temporarily disappeared, but Earthlings have lost their sense of security. Who knows when another group of aliens will come looking to destroy Earth?
In a state of insecurity, Earthlings instinctively seek things that can increase their sense of security, and Superman Clark is clearly a good candidate—a great hero who saved the Earth and possesses the power to protect humanity. People began to idolize Superman.
Global celebrities and heroes have become an integral part of people's lives.
Yi Shuihan's strength in that battle was not to be underestimated, and he was not an alien. If he wanted to, he could easily become a superhero as popular as Superman. However, since that battle, he has not appeared in the public eye much and has not done what a hero should do. Therefore, as time goes by, he has been gradually forgotten by the public.
"Instead of doing good deeds, I'd rather go to a karaoke bar or enjoy myself at home! If there were money to be a hero, I might be interested in being one. But for now, let whoever wants to be a hero do it. I'm not that stupid."
Injustices happen all the time in the world, so the work of heroes is never restful. It's a thankless job; if you do it well, it's your duty, but if you don't, you'll suffer resentment. It would be strange if Yi Shuihan liked it.
In the central city, at the cutting-edge laboratory, Yi Shuihan was reading an advanced hacking tutorial, applying his newly acquired knowledge by hacking into various systems.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't join S.R. Labs, nor will he be Barry's backup. He just finds S.R. Labs convenient and has nothing to do, so he's here to improve his skills.
On one side, there was a bustling rescue operation, and on the other side, Yi Shuihan was quietly coding. It could be said that the situation in the laboratory was somewhat strange.
Beside Yi Shuihan, a person standing straighter than a javelin remained quietly, without making a sound. If it weren't for the faint breathing, no one would deny that he was a statue.
This person is none other than Fuora, whose current identity is Yi Shuihan's maid. It is precisely because of this identity that the government feels at ease letting her continue to stay on Earth.
Zod was dead, and the ship was gone. As the commander, she had almost lost the will to live. After regaining consciousness, she just stared blankly, perhaps wanting to die quietly like this.
It took Yi Shuihan a lot of effort to convince her to re-establish her life goal of making Yi Shuihan happy, and she successfully gained an obedient and attractive maid.
Even Clark was stunned when he learned that Yi Shuihan could turn Fiora into a maid. Everyone at S.R. Labs, especially Cisco, looked at him with envy every day. Unfortunately, even though he borrowed the dating guide from Barry, he still couldn't find a girlfriend. It can only be said that he misallocated his talent points.
The fact that Cisco is so assertive in proposing a date to someone he's only just met shows that he's determined. He still has a good chance with girls who seem to have amnesia or whose thought processes are different from the average person.
A sudden gust of wind swept through the laboratory, and then the Flash, Barry, dressed in a red suit, collapsed to the ground in a miserable state.
"Barry, what's wrong?"
"Who beat him up? He looks so bad."
"A person who can turn his entire body into metal, and the words he speaks sound somewhat familiar to me."
During his break, Yi Shuihan heard this and casually uttered the words "Steel Man," which earned him a resentful look from Cisco. Naming superpowers had always been Cisco's hobby and privilege, but recently Yi Shuihan had been ignoring his privilege.
“I remember now, he was a bully in my elementary school. He used to bully me. No wonder he seems so familiar.”
Barry looked furious.
Chapter 661, Barry's Use of a Other's Knife to Kill
"Doesn't it feel good to be bullied by someone you used to bully?"
The teasing voice infuriated Barry, but seeing that it was Yi Shuihan who was speaking, he could only manage a forced smile.
"I was bullied before I got superpowers, and now that I have superpowers I'm still getting beaten up. Enough already."
Barry muttered to himself, looking quite annoyed.
It was fortunate that Barry had already suffered enough setbacks at Yi Shuihan's place and had witnessed the powerful aliens, which allowed him to accept his defeat so quickly.
Just as Katrin was treating Barry's wounds, his phone rang. The message he received on the other end of the line made Barry's expression change.
The call was from Iris. She had just run into Colossus, who boasted to Iris that he had beaten up The Flash, and then invited Iris to the school they used to attend. If Iris didn't go, Colossus threatened to attack Barry and Joe.
"Barry, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I'll handle this. Trust me, everything will be alright."
Barry comforted Iris.
After hanging up the phone, Barry looked distressed, as he really didn't have any way to deal with Steel Man.
Since he couldn't do it himself, Barry naturally had to turn to his support team, Caitlin and the others.
Cisco, preoccupied with his love life, wasn't in the mood to help Barry. Of course, more importantly, there was Yi Shuihan there who could easily solve everything, so there was no sense of urgency. Therefore, Barry didn't get the answer he wanted.
For Iris's safety, Barry eventually turned to Yi Shuihan.
"Yi, my brother, can you help me? You don't need to do it yourself, just let Fiora and I go together."
His ingratiating expression was quite amusing.
"A real man shouldn't be looking for help when his girl is being bullied. A real man should take matters into his own hands. There's always a way if you think about it."
“I also want to be a real man, but time is of the essence right now, and I really can’t think of a way to defeat him. If it were just about myself, I would never ask you for help.”
"I see!" Just when Barry thought Yi Shuihan was about to agree, Yi Shuihan's head returned to the computer screen. "If Steel Man really kills you, I will avenge you. You're welcome, after all, we're friends!"
Barry stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, feeling an indescribable disappointment.
"Huh! Giving up so quickly?"
Yi Shuihan, who already knew some of Barry's story, was surprised that Barry would leave after a brief silence instead of seeking further help.
Barry once again transformed into the Flash and disappeared from the laboratory, seemingly leaving in a huff.
"You're so heartless. This isn't even that difficult for you, so why don't you help?"
Even Caitlin couldn't stand it anymore and complained about Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan, whose skin was thicker than a city wall, didn't react at all. Instead, he retorted confidently, "I'm doing this to train him. It's not good to rely on others instead of thinking about solving problems yourself. I can't let him develop this kind of dependency. Who am I? I'm an absolutely good person. When it's really time to take action, I will not hesitate at all."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Caitlin looked at Yi Shuihan with suspicion, but finally reluctantly believed his story.
A few minutes later, the cutting-edge laboratory once again stirred up a storm. This was something the people in the laboratory were already used to; it was a sign of the Flash's appearance.
But this time the situation seems a little different; the person who came wasn't just The Flash, but also another man.
"Brother, I have brought the person to you."
As soon as Barry appeared, he immediately ran to Yi Shuihan's side and said respectfully.
"What the hell is this?"
Not understanding what Barry was up to, Yi Shuihan looked at Barry with sharp eyes and saw Barry's pleading expression.
"So you're the Flash's boss, the arrogant guy who said you could beat me with one punch?"
