Chapter 3491: Research on Cats and Dogs (Part 50)

Anyway, no matter what, in Zod's view, the ship just disappeared out of thin air.

This meant two things: First, the strength of the human side exceeded his imagination. The other party had technology or magical means he didn't know about and used this means to steal his ship; Second, he had no way out.

The strength of Kryptonians themselves was indeed very strong, but that was only compared to fragile humans. The universe was deep, and all kinds of dangerous creatures and dangerous areas emerged one after another, even Kryptonians couldn't get any benefit there.

More importantly, his invasion of Earth could be considered as offending the Lantern Corps completely. Hal controlled almost the entire Green Lantern Corps, and now as long as he dared to leave Earth, he would face endless pursuit by the Green Lantern Corps. Without a ship that isolated Green Lantern energy, relying on himself alone, he couldn't outlast so many Green Lanterns.

In other words, if his plan this time didn't succeed, he would completely become a fugitive. The universe was vast, and there would be no place for him to stay.

Zod took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and his full anger had nowhere to vent. Until a figure appeared at the cave entrance.

The Kryptonian turned his head abruptly and saw a tall green figure standing at the cave entrance. He was immediately furious: "Marafak! You damn bastard! The intelligence you got from that mysterious space was completely wrong!! How dare you deceive me!!!"

Walking slowly into the cave was a green-skinned Martian. He wore armor made of animal skin and iron chains, his face looked very ferocious, and he had a pair of scarlet eyes like a wild beast.

"I told you, the situation in the multiverse is very complex. There are always exceptions to everything. And you, thinking you had an intelligence advantage, couldn't hold your breath and exposed yourself to them too early. If you fail, it's entirely your own fault."

Zod waved his hand, turned around, stood in place, and took a few deep breaths before calming down.

Now was not the time to be angry with Marafak. He was already the most reliable ally he could find now, and more importantly, he could enter that mysterious space, which would be the most important capital for them to turn the tables.

"How is that space called Battleworld?" Zod turned and asked.

"I'm still exploring it," Marafak shook his head and said, "That place must have been forged by an incomparably great existence; it's very complex and very beautiful. But I need a certain amount of time to unlock the secrets within."

"So I told you long ago, don't act rashly. They are busy defending and want to drag time with us, but they don't know that this is exactly what we want. As long as we don't act rashly and expose ourselves, once I figure out the mysteries of that mysterious space and obtain powerful strength from there, they won't be our opponents at all."

"Better be so," the Kryptonian said mockingly.

"What do you mean?" Marafak's tone was unfriendly, "Since we came to Earth, you haven't contributed—I don't need a useless ally."

"What do you know!" General Zod scolded, "The Justice League can't defend indefinitely like this. Do you think they will give you a lot of time? If Battleworld can't bring you enhancement, then you are the useless ally."

"I don't have time to argue with you here," Marafak raised his chin slightly, "Anyway, the one who will be chased by them like a stray dog is not me. You're right, General?"

Knowing that Marafak was mocking him, Zod could only swallow his anger for the time being and put on a steady look. He said in a deep voice: "The Batman of this universe is not the same as the one you described, and neither is Superman. The pattern of the entire Earth is different from what you said. The intelligence you got from there is inaccurate, which means you didn't do what we agreed on at the beginning."

"Now it's meaningless to pursue whose responsibility it is. I just need the correct intelligence. This is an obligation you need to fulfill."

"Of course, I will do the work that is mine," Marafak's tone also gradually sank. He seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long while, he said, "The situation on Earth in this universe is indeed a bit strange. Batman is not Batman, Superman is not Superman, and Luthor is not Superman's enemy."

"However, I still grasped their lifeline."

"What?" Zod turned around.

"Professor," Marafak looked into his eyes and said, "I have already controlled that mysterious professor. He told me the method to crack Earth's defense network. It's just those few annoying Kryptonian flies... oh, sorry, it should be your compatriots, who caused me quite a bit of trouble. If it weren't for them, I would have broken through the defense network long ago."

"Professor?" Zod repeated the word. He looked at Marafak and said: "Where did you get the news? That mysterious Battleworld?"

Marafak shook his head and said: "Although I can enter there, I won't only collect intelligence from there. In fact, this is an open secret in Cat Getan. A mysterious professor saved this city and is also the spiritual mentor of the Justice League."

"You said you controlled him?"

"That's right. It's just that he is indeed a master of psychology, and it's very difficult to dig secrets out of his brain. You know, humans are too fragile. Now is not the time to kill him."

Zod hesitated slightly, then said: "Take me to see him."

"What do you want to do?" Marafak was immediately vigilant.

"What are you nervous about?" Zod said with some disdain, as if he saw through Marafak's guilty conscience, "If he is really important to the Justice League, then the news of his disappearance will soon reach Luthor Manor."

"They will find a way to search for him in Cat Getan. And we can also use him to set a trap for the superheroes. Compared to the heavily guarded Metropolis, Cat Getan might be a better stage."

Marafak was silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Soon he said: "The situation in Cat Getan is much more complex than in Metropolis. There is not only the surface world but also the inner world. You can just understand it as an illusory space."

"After getting the intelligence, I tried to open this space, but I didn't succeed. The superheroes clearly have a way to enter the inner world. We can set traps for them, and they can set traps for us. And they occupy the geographical advantage."

"Are you afraid?" Zod narrowed his eyes, "Also, after all, if the Justice League finds your brother, you will be hung up and beaten on the butt by him."

Marafak's face sank completely. Just before he was about to explode, Zod said: "You said your brother will become a member of the Justice League in the future. If the current Justice League firmly stands on his side, what are your chances of winning?"

These words were like a basin of cold water poured from Marafak's head. The anger was extinguished in a flash, and cold sweat poured out from his back continuously.

"I have a plan," Zod said, "You Martians all possess shapeshifting abilities. Since you can use this ability to disguise yourself as a human, you can naturally disguise yourself as your compatriot."

"You mean..."

"You can disguise yourself as your brother and join the Justice League. This will not only make them unable to join forces to deal with you, but perhaps you can also learn the method to enter the inner world from their mouths."

Marafak's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated and said: "My psychic ability is not as strong as J'onn's."

"But how would they know?" Zod began to pace in the cave, he put his hands behind his back, thinking while saying, "Humans have never had psychic abilities. They also can't distinguish the strength of a psychic. As long as you show some mind-reading ability, they won't doubt you, and even if they doubt, there is no evidence."

"What if the real J'onn finds us..."

"That depends on your ability," Zod raised his voice, "Let them trust you as they trust each other and share intelligence with you. In this way, before your brother finds you, you can find a way to stop him, or find evidence that he is the fake one."

Zod paused, then continued: "Of course, I won't do nothing. Perhaps I can try to create some accidents so that you can gain their trust. With the help of your psychic ability, you can be invincible in the Justice League."

Marafak was finally shaken, and he said: "In other universes, Martian Manhunter is an important veteran of the Justice League, and can even interfere with Batman's judgment and wrestle with Superman."

"If I can get such a position, maybe I can manipulate the Justice League to deal with J'onn. Then we solve the Justice League, and everything will be easy."

Zod nodded and continued: "However, we must first figure out what channel the Justice League is using to find your brother. It's more credible to be discovered by them than to take the initiative to find them."

"I'll go investigate this matter immediately," Marafak said, "I'll contact you once I make progress."

Marafak waved his cloak and left. Zod watched his back, his face deep.

He had to admit that although Marafak was simple-minded and very childish, the Martian's psychic ability was truly unique. If he could really mix into the Justice League, then even the strongest fortress would be useless.

It's just that the intuition of danger brought by years of displacement made Zod feel that this plan was not that simple to execute. They must have ignored something.

In the principal's office of Cat Getan University, Schiller sat opposite Sivana and said: "Only two roads have damage, and the outer wall of one teaching building and the glass of another office building have been damaged. The repair situation is still quite optimistic."

"The spread of the news is also not bad," Sivana said with a smile, "Both teams that agreed to compete with us sent condolences. They have no opinion on our proposal to postpone the competition."

"That's true. We can use this time to train, and they can naturally do the same. In short, both sides become stronger, which is better than one strong and one weak, making the competition too boring." Schiller nodded.

"By the way, have I mentioned it?" Schiller looked at Sivana and said, "The successor chosen by old Shazam, that is, the child Billy Batson, the current superhero Shazam, has been absorbed into the Young Avengers team by Dick and the others."

"His parents passed away early, and he has been wandering between different foster families. The parents of this foster family are not very good to him. They promised to help him find a new foster family in Cat Getan, and Dick also asked me to help little Billy look for a school. Do you have any suggestions?"

Sivana was slightly stunned, then shook his head helplessly and said: "To be honest, I completely forgot about Shazam."

Schiller laughed and said: "This is the benefit of being the principal of Cat Getan University. It can make you completely forget unpleasant things. It's just that I was too busy to remember."

Sivana also laughed and said: "I will solve the grievances between old Shazam and me myself. As for Batson, let him go to school in the East End. It just so happens that after he transforms into the superhero Shazam, he can do more for the residents there."

"Cobblepot Group opened three primary schools there. I'll ask later if there are any enrollment spots left. I only hope that the famous superhero Mr. Shazam can keep up with the first-grade curriculum, otherwise he'll have to go to kindergarten."
