Chapter 223: No Victors?

The Kryptonian continental plates were torn apart by irregular gravitational forces from the core, and lava erupted violently from the transition layer of the core, no longer held tightly by Krypton's gravity.

The Kryptonian atmosphere became chaotic, cosmic radiation penetrated Krypton, and the surface cracked open into hundreds of thousands of meters of canyons, from which scorching red-hot lava gushed out.

Giant columns of molten lava erupted into the sky, cities were torn apart directly, magma spewed everywhere, the stability devices that existed on the ground had no effect, even the landmasses were torn apart, collided, and riotous, like a gas cylinder swelling into a spherical shape, on the verge of exploding, terrifying anyone who dared to look at it.

"Lara, put Kal in the spaceship!" Jor-El felt the continuous shaking under his feet and hurriedly ran to the rooftop with his wife, opening the hidden spaceship with the antimatter engine.

As expected from his own detection results, Krypton's core indeed had a problem and was in the process of destruction, and this destruction was rapid.

"He is my child, I can't bear to leave him!" Lara held Kal, whose eyes were as blue and beautiful as a lake, tightly in her arms. The child inherited her eyes, as beautiful as a lake.

Lara held Kal tightly, tenderly pressed her face against his tender little face, reluctantly placed him into the spaceship cabin.

"Don't worry, he will go to that planet, bask under a yellow sun, become a great Kryptonian, establish Krypton, and continue the civilization of Krypton." Jor-El came to Lara's side, comforting her by placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I don't care if he will become a great man or not, I just hope Kal grows up well. He's just a baby now, so young..."

Lara leaned against Jor-El's chest, crying bitterly, reluctant to part with Kal, yet afraid to cover her face and cry, fearing to miss a glimpse of Kal, tears as large as beans streaming down her cheeks, her fingers turning white as she tightly clasped them in front of her chest.

Jor-El gritted his teeth and activated the spaceship.

In their eyes, the spaceship with the antimatter engine slowly ascended, flying out towards the Kryptonian atmosphere amidst the magma erupting from the surface, disappearing from their sight.

After H'el's painful laughter, his emotions quickly returned to normal, his face expressionless, silent, his gaze slightly void as he watched Superman fly towards Earth.

Fate seemed like a fishing net; when you're larger, you need to sacrifice some things to pass through the mesh, such as kindness, passion, justice, and past impulses and ideals.

But ultimately, what you embrace is never what you expected.

Superman would become H'el's son, a test subject.

*Boom!*

The columns of lava erupted into the sky, engulfing Jor-El and his wife.

In the distance, a fleeing spaceship flew out from Kandor City, it was Kara's spaceship, spinning as it flew towards outer space.

Immediately, a massive city shield lit up around Kandor City.

The city shield, created by Jor-El's brother, Zor-El, tightly enveloped the entire Kandor City.

The entire Kandor City was on the verge of collapse, like a small boat on the ocean of Krypton, swaying constantly. Eventually, it was struck by the erupting magma underground, and the entire city was thrown out of Krypton's gravitational range, leaving the Kryptonian atmosphere, flying into outer space.

"No!!!"

"Save me! Help me!!"

"Ahhhhh..."

"Mom, where are you? I'm so scared."

"Why did Krypton suddenly get destroyed?"

"I don't want to die, no, no, no, no..."

"Hold onto my hand, don't get thrown away."

"Hold onto the pillar, Kandor City has a shield, we'll be fine."

"Protect me, you bunch of lower-class fools."

"Get away from me."

As Kandor City passed by, H'el saw the terrified faces of many Kandor City residents: some were screaming in terror, some were desperately trying to save themselves, some were reaching out to help their fellow Kryptonians, while others remained aloof.

As chaos erupted within Kandor City, everyone was tossed around like in a meat grinder, unable to say anything.

At this moment, they were all equal.

The gravitational pull of Krypton failed.

The entire planet began to crack open, the Kryptonian continental plates facing the sun were already splitting apart. Without Krypton's gravitational restraint, massive rocks and city fragments were thrown out by Krypton.

Glacial crevasses split open on the backside, then detached from Krypton, shaken loose into outer space, becoming several huge glacial meteoroids dispersing into the void.

Some of the upper-class Kryptonians boarded ships or temporary strongholds, delaying their demise.

Others, ejected into outer space by Krypton's upheaval, still clung to life, their bodies freezing, eyes bloodshot, dying in horror.

H'el once saw two military officers, superior and subordinate, in a small spacecraft, resorting to cannibalism as their supplies ran out.

Now, he saw the same two individuals, not yet driven to such extremes, fleeing into space.

Ultimately, they couldn't escape conflict over dwindling resources.

Krypton's core collapsed, triggering a massive particle reaction of immense energy, beginning the violent destruction of a once-shrinking planet.

Suddenly, everything seemed to still, as if time had frozen.

Then, a violent explosion erupted from Krypton's core, releasing gamma rays and other massive radiation energies, blasting outward. The explosion scattered all vulnerable rock and soil, forming huge chaotic radiation streams nearby. Various chaotic radiation such as gamma rays, alpha and beta rays, continued to intertwine and emit, eventually forming massive nebula clusters, becoming an immensely large cosmic radiation nebula.

All surviving materials from the explosion on Krypton were violently thrown and ejected into space.

H'el's transparent figure floated away from the high-energy radiation cluster, his black cape billowing in the starry sky, reflecting the turbulent yet suppressed emotions within his heart.

Finally, he took one last look at the exploded Krypton, now a massive radiation nebula, surveying all the various materials ejected like a giant ring around it.

H'el turned around, extending his left hand into space, pulling out the Flash.

The semi-conscious Flash was pulled out by H'el, awakening to see the post-explosion Krypton, stunned, murmuring in disbelief, "You're repeating the past. Creating the same scene."

"No, you won't succeed. You can't complete the loop. Emperor of Krypton, from the moment you arrived in this timeline, you were finished," muttered the Flash, his face a weary smile.

In this battle, there were no victors.

They were all defeated by H'el's single blow, Batman, Luthor, Black Adam dead, Flash captured.

And H'el, locked in this timeline, unable to leave.

H'el glanced at the Flash, carrying him, flying towards the direction of the Young H'el's spaceship.

"The explosion of Krypton is just the beginning."
