Absorbing Half of the Codex

Bare-handed, he dismantled seven or eight fighter jets, and just before the last one crashed, Fang Ye jumped off the fighter jet.

"Boom!"

As Fang Ye descended from the sky, the last fighter jet crashed to the ground, and the wreckage scattered everywhere.

Among them, several lucky Kryptonians survived the impact and were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

"Crack!"

Fang Ye didn't show any mercy to these Kryptonians. He walked over and crushed their heads under his foot.

With such a commotion here, it would definitely attract other Kryptonian troops. If he didn't kill these Kryptonians, would he leave them alive to report his whereabouts?

Fang Ye didn't want to get entangled with the Kryptonian army. If it delayed him from fusing the Codex into Superman's body and sending Superman back to Earth, he would truly be at a loss.

After dealing with a few Kryptonians, Fang Ye didn't waste any more time. He alternated between running and leaping, rushing at high speed towards the castle of Superman's father, Jor-El.

Don't be fooled by the movies; Krypton is actually quite vast. Fang Ye ran for half an hour before reaching Jor-El's castle.

The architecture on Krypton was very peculiar, especially the castles of the nobles, which were often built on mountaintops.

"That is... Could it be Zod coming..."

Fang Ye suddenly had a feeling and turned his head to look into the distant sky. He saw several fighter jets flying rapidly towards this location.

Fang Ye remembered from the original work that after Jor-El stole the Codex, Zod and his men chased him to the castle.

However, by the time Zod arrived, it was already too late. Jor-El had already fused the Codex into Superman's body and sent Superman to Earth right in front of Zod.

In despair, Zod ended up killing Jor-El right here.

Thinking about this, Fang Ye felt anxious. His figure moved like the wind, leaping hundreds of meters with each jump, and in no time, he arrived at the gate of the castle.

"Boom!"

After Fang Ye reached the mountaintop and arrived at the castle gate, he directly punched it.

The entire castle trembled, and a large piece of the gate caved in, showing how terrifying Fang Ye's punch was.

"Open up!"

Fang Ye roared and smashed the gate three more times, causing it to collapse with a loud crash.

After blasting open the gate, Fang Ye didn't stop; he rushed in directly.

In the distance, on the fighter jets rushing here, Zod looked suspicious. When he was about to order an attack on the castle gate, he saw the gate collapse on its own.

Besides, Zod vaguely saw a huge green creature, but it disappeared in an instant. If not for the collapsing gate, he would have thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"Speed up! The Codex is Krypton's hope, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

As Fang Ye charged into the castle, he headed straight for the main hall.

Just as Fang Ye reached the hall, he was intercepted by Jor-El, who was wearing battle armor. Without hesitation, Jor-El fired his energy gun, shooting a laser at Fang Ye's chest.

Jor-El's skills were indeed excellent. He perfectly demonstrated the meaning of "scientists know martial arts, unstoppable." He could swim, ride flying dragons, and defeat many soldiers quickly with a gun.

Fang Ye ignored the laser shot into his chest and fixed his gaze on the baby floating above the hall—the Codex.

The Codex looked like a skull, but much smaller than a human skull. At this moment, it was melting and merging into the baby suspended above it.

"Who are you?"

Jor-El looked solemn, his hand trembling slightly as he steadied the energy gun.

In fact, when Fang Ye broke through the gate, Jor-El already knew that someone had intruded. Because the Codex had only been partially integrated, Jor-El took up his weapon without hesitation to stop the intruder.

However, when Jor-El walked to the hall's entrance and saw Fang Ye charging in, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

The Green Giant was over three meters tall, with terrifying muscles and a fierce face. His eyes were full of murderous intent. Anyone who saw him for the first time would shudder in fear.

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing the Codex melting and merging into Superman's body, Fang Ye had no time to deal with Jor-El.

Fang Ye charged straight ahead, knocking Jor-El aside. His eyes were fixed on the Codex floating in mid-air. By now, the Codex had shrunk to nearly half its original size, with only one-third of its volume left, and most of it had already merged into Superman's body.

After Fang Ye knocked Jor-El away, he walked over and grabbed the Codex with one hand. When Fang Ye's hand touched the Codex, it turned into specks of light and merged into the palm of his hand.

"Roar!"

Fang Ye suddenly let out a scream, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he couldn't help trembling violently all over.

Pain! Extremely intense pain!

If Fang Ye could see inside his body, he would find that after absorbing one-third of the Codex, the Green Giant's genes were rapidly breaking down.

It was true that the Codex contained the essence of life, but it also contained the genes of Kryptonians. When Fang Ye absorbed the Codex, he not only absorbed a large amount of life essence but also the genes of Kryptonians.

Whether it was the Green Giant's genes or the Kryptonian genes, both were incredibly powerful genes. The two genes were at odds with each other, turning Fang Ye's body into a battlefield, constantly devouring each other.

In the end, the Green Giant's genes gained the upper hand, not because Superman's genes were inferior, but because the Green Giant's genes evolved and improved rapidly after absorbing a large amount of life essence, gradually suppressing the Kryptonian genes.

"Roar!"

Fang Ye kept groaning in pain, pounding his fists on the ground, causing the entire castle to shake violently.

After a moment, Fang Ye couldn't hold on any longer and fell unconscious on the ground, and his transformation also ended.

Although Jor-El was knocked away by Fang Ye, he didn't die immediately. However, being seriously injured was inevitable.

"Lara, send the child away!"

"Alright!"

Perhaps because of Fang Ye's sudden intrusion, Lara, Superman's mother, didn't hesitate as she did in the original work. She directly pressed the button and sent Superman into the spaceship.

Just as Lara was about to press the launch button and send Superman to Earth, Zod suddenly burst in with his men.

"Lara, the Codex is Krypton's future, cancel the launch!"

General Zod's face was extremely grim as he stopped Lara from pressing the launch button.

Jor-El, who was seriously injured at this time, was unable to stop Zod anymore. He could only nod slightly to his wife, and without hesitation, Lara pressed the button, causing the spaceship to fly out of the castle and into the sky.

"No!"

Zod's face twisted with rage, and he shot and killed Lara. Lara fell softly to the ground, her gaze still fixed on the spaceship gradually moving away.

A smile appeared on Jor-El's face, as he succumbed to his injuries and passed away with a smile.
