Chapter 98: Kryptonian Battery

Several days later, NASA's emergency rescue satellite detected an anomaly. Upon further investigation, the team found strange signals originating from Ellesmere, and soldiers were dispatched to explore. Upon arriving in the Arctic, the soldiers discovered a peculiar alien spacecraft.

It was a vast, cold, and desolate world, covered in ice and snow year-round. This was an extremely inhospitable place for humans. Even with proper heating equipment, there was always a risk of freezing to death.

However, today, something buried deep beneath this icy wasteland had caught the attention of the outside world. Soldiers from the U.S. set up camp nearby to investigate the enormous object under the glacier.

Inside one of the tents, even though the heating equipment was running continuously, it couldn't completely fend off the cold. Nevertheless, the group remained huddled together, curious about what lay beneath the glacier. Their intense curiosity made them ignore the freezing temperatures as they excitedly discussed the possibilities.

At that moment, the future female lead, Lois Lane, a woman strong enough to keep up with Superman, arrived at the camp to negotiate with the soldiers.

True to her reputation as a woman who could hold her own against Superman, Lois stood her ground even when facing a Colonel, causing Colonel Hardy, who was in charge of the area, to yield to her.

Lois entered the lab, where she, Dr. Emil Hamilton, and Colonel Hardy listened to a briefing from one of the staff members.

"The ice shelf is seriously interfering with our probes, but there's definitely something down there… and the ice around it is nearly twenty thousand years old!"

The people present were visibly shocked. Humanity was primitive and ignorant during that time, unable to survive in such conditions, let alone create something so massive.

Could it be the remnants of aliens or the ruins of an ancient civilization?

The light in Lois Lane's eyes brightened. She believed this was a monumental discovery.

As night fell, the environment grew even colder. Although the soldiers tried to stop her from wandering around, but Lois wasn't going to listen. Braving the cold, she ventured out with her camera, hoping to capture something. Instead, she saw a humanoid figure walking in the distance.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she followed the figure, only to be knocked back by a robot. Then, a strange man appeared and destroyed the robot.

This man was extraordinary. In the frigid temperature of -40°C, he wore nothing but a torn white hoodie, yet he showed no signs of discomfort. Louise felt a wave of fear, realizing that deep underground, there was no one to help her. If the man before her turned violent, no one would hear their struggle.

After a brief struggle, the man, Clark, took responsibility. Not only did he stop Lois' bleeding, but he also safely escorted her back to the surface.

The spacecraft took off and disappeared, while Lois Lane, rescued by Superman, lay in the ice field until a helicopter spotted and rescued her.

It seemed like everything had come to an end. However, what they didn't know was that a terrifying alien force had detected Earth's existence through the ship's signal. A bloody invasion from the cosmos was about to begin!

In Gotham, Alex's top priority was to upgrade his Six Eyes. As its level increased, Alex would gain more refined energy control and analytical capabilities, helping him adapt faster to different worlds and eventually regain the ability to open portals to any location.

The system notifications continued to refresh:

- [Six Eyes EXP +1]

- [Six Eyes EXP +1]

- [Six Eyes EXP +1]

Then, it appeared:

- [Congratulations, your skill Six Eyes has leveled up!]

- [Six Eyes Lv. 5 (1/20,000): Grants 360-degree vision, the ability to see energy flows, enhanced dynamic vision, and X-ray vision. The user can perform incredibly precise energy manipulation, ignoring the laws of conservation of energy and reducing energy consumption!]

A vast amount of information flooded into Alex's mind, and he absorbed it all. Moments later, he realized the changes within him.

The visual range of Six Eyes had expanded tenfold. While Lv. 4 granted precise vision up to 10 kilometers and blurry vision up to 100 kilometers, Lv. 5 extended precise vision to 100 kilometers and blurry vision to 1,000 kilometers!

Moreover, Six Eyes had gained a new ability. In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Six Eyes allowed the user to release cursed techniques with minimal energy loss, vastly increasing their stamina.

This was why Satoru Gojo could repeatedly deploy his domain expansion without running out of cursed energy after a full day.

However, since Alex's energy reserves were far greater than Gojo's, Lv. 3 Six Eyes could not achieve the same effect. Only Lv. 4 could reduce energy waste to nearly zero.

With Lv. 5, Six Eyes had undergone a qualitative change. It not only allowed Alex to use energy without any waste but also reduced the original energy requirements for his skills.

At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but in reality, it had reached the level of causality. This meant that Alex could permanently reduce the energy cost of his abilities without sacrificing their power!

This defied the laws of energy conservation!

Alex had high expectations for this new ability. If Six Eyes had such terrifying traits at Lv. 5, what kind of powers would it gain at higher levels?

Would he eventually be able to use abilities without consuming any energy at all?

Hmm?

While holding Selena, who was diligently cleaning, Alex noticed a humanoid creature flying at high speed within his vastly expanded field of vision.

He infused his Six Eyes with energy, and the creature's appearance became clear. Massive amounts of sunlight from the yellow sun interacted with his body, constantly strengthening his muscles and senses, endlessly empowering him.

And that flying man disturbing Alex's peace was none other than Superman, Clark.

It seemed Clark had just learned to fly using his bio-field and was visibly excited.

Seeing Alex deep in thought, seemingly ignoring her, Selena grew irritated. She tried to draw her boss's attention, hoping for more pleasure.

"Boss~ what are you thinking about?" Selena whispered sweetly into Alex's ear, her voice dripping with allure.

But her efforts were in vain. Alex's recent discovery had killed the mood, and he regained his composure.

Superman had already obtained his suit and learned how to fly. Alex now knew the current timeline!

General Zod and his forces would soon arrive. The Black Zero event was about to begin, and Alex's "batteries" were on their way.

Alex gently pinched Selena's cute cheek, about to kiss her, but stopped himself at the sight of her lips. Instead, he kissed her on the forehead.

"Selena, I'll reward you later. We have work to do."

Selena pouted, clearly unsatisfied, but she knew she couldn't change Alex's mind. Curiously, she asked:

"What kind of work?"

"We're going to catch some aliens to use as batteries. These are famous throughout the universe—Kryptonian batteries! Everyone swears by them!"

Selena: "???"

Several days after Alex discovered Superman, a spaceship descended from the sky, invading the global network.

Every screen connected to the internet was filled with static, and a man's silhouette flickered through the distortion, calling out the name Kal-El and threatening to destroy Earth if he wasn't handed over.

To protect Earth, Clark cooperated with the military and went to the Kryptonian ship, where he discovered General Zod's plan: to terraform Earth, altering its ecosystem to suit Kryptonian life.

But if that happened, all humans would perish because they couldn't survive in the new environment!

This was something Clark could not tolerate.

He and Lois Lane fled back to Earth, but as soon as they returned, Clark found that his mother had been kidnapped by Kryptonians. He immediately flew into the sky, rushing to her rescue!

After battling General Zod, Clark shattered his helmet, causing Zod to lose his ability to fight as his enhanced senses overwhelmed him. Zod was forced to retreat.

However, several Kryptonians remained, including Zod's second-in-command, Faora.

The U.S. military arrived by this time, but their pride in their weapons quickly turned to despair as machine guns and missiles proved useless against the Kryptonians. Only Superman could fight them.

But even Superman was overwhelmed by their numbers.

The general overseeing the battle grew increasingly hopeless as he watched the frontlines, wondering if humanity was truly doomed.

Then, he noticed two figures casually walking toward the battlefield, unaffected by explosions or stray bullets.

"Soldier, zoom in on them. Who are they?"

---

Alex strolled toward the battlefield, his nanotech symbiote constantly shifting, forming his favorite white dress polo. He placed the nanotech sunglasses on his face and glanced at the distance, where the Kryptonians were wreaking havoc.

Selena, also dressed in the nanotech symbiote, was by his side, gazing nervously at the battle.

"Boss, can we really capture these Kryptonians? They're monsters!"

Alex, his eyes filled with greed as he stared at the Kryptonians, wiped imaginary drool from his lips and replied:

"Selena, be confident. The nanotech symbiote on you contains a portion of my power. With it, you can defeat an average Kryptonian!"

He tapped Selena on the chest, and a terrifying surge of energy flowed from his finger into the symbiote, fully activating it.

"You've got twenty minutes. That should be more than enough. Go get them, Catwoman!"

Selena moaned softly as the power surged through her body. She clenched her fist, sensing the massive increase in strength—her power had multiplied dozens

She flexed her hands, feeling her newfound strength. The once swift Kryptonians suddenly appeared to move in slow motion to her; the power she had previously thought terrifying was now nothing in comparison!

She kissed her boss, then vanished from her spot, instantly reappearing in front of Faora and delivering a powerful punch that sent her flying!

"Wow, that's so cool!"

She exclaimed excitedly, looking at her delicate fist.
