In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality

Jonathan's black cloak moved without wind, and the light within a hundred meters began to distort -

The balls of light exploding from the street lamps, the flames from the burning billboards, and even the seven-color energy beams refracted by the Zod armor, all turned into liquid gold sand and poured into his pupils.

Spiral lines like prominences appeared deep in his irises, and the broken cables of the Brooklyn Bridge cast seventeen swaying shadows beneath his feet.

“You know what the most wonderful thing about Earth is?”

Jonathan's voice was reverberant.

"The stellar radiation here is... 47 times that of Krypton."

"Ahem... so what?"

Zod suddenly roared like a trapped beast, and his locked right arm twisted at an anti-joint angle, breaking free from Jonathan's hand.

At the same time, the gravity anchor of the combat boots suddenly issued a sharp alarm.

Zod looked up suddenly and found a circular skylight in the clouds. The midday sunlight was refracted through Jonathan's body and focused into a cone of light with a diameter of 100 meters above the Statue of Liberty.

"Little tricks!"

Zod roared and swung out the chain blade, and the molecularly oscillating blade edge left a blue-purple ionized trail as it cut through the air.

But Jonathan just raised his left hand, and the water vapor that had not yet dissipated in New York Harbor suddenly condensed into countless prisms—

The high-frequency vibrations of the chain blade were weakened layer by layer as it passed through these crystals, and finally hit Jonathan's palm with just a "ding-dong" sound, and the sparks that splashed were actually absorbed by his skin.

Not far away, Clark's super vision clearly saw that the sparks were decomposed into energy flows the moment they touched Jonathan, and slipped into his body like a supplement.

"No wonder... this is not a block at all..."

He wiped the stain from the corner of his mouth.

“It’s eating.”

At this moment, Jonathan suddenly grabbed the chain blade and pulled it hard. Zod's body leaned forward due to inertia and he took the opportunity to give Jonathan a heavy punch.

Jonathan suddenly loosened his grip, and Zod's punch missed.

The next second, a red energy stream appeared out of thin air in Jonathan's hand, and then rushed madly into Jonathan's raised right arm.

On the surface of the ball of light condensed in his palm, thousands of collapsing solar prominence models emerged.

"General——"

Jonathan's voice suddenly became ethereal.

"Have you ever seen a real solar storm?"

The next second, the ball of light in the palm of his hand expanded rapidly, and countless miniature prominences intertwined into a web on its surface, like an imprisoned star struggling to break free from its restraints.

General Zod's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Final defense mode!"

A dense hexagonal energy shield suddenly appeared on the surface of the armor, and each lattice was rotating at high speed to form a three-dimensional defense network similar to a honeycomb.

At the same time, twelve curved wing panels unfolded on the back of the armor, and energy refracting colorful light flowed back and forth between the wing panels, enveloping Zod in a pyramid-shaped force field.

"Buzz-"

Jonathan thrust his right arm forward, and the ball of light in his palm instantly turned into a beam of light with a diameter of three meters and blasted towards Zod.

Tens of thousands of plasma filaments were wrapped around the surface of the beam, and it hit Zod's armor directly.

"Drip-drip-"

Soon, Zod's defensive stance issued a shrill alarm, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the energy shield.

Plasma filaments drilled into these cracks like a group of hungry snakes and began to frantically gnaw at the energy core of the defense system.

"Impossible! This energy concentration..."

For the first time, Zod's expression showed fear.

He saw that the armor, which was a culmination of Kryptonian technology, was being decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like ice melting in boiling water, by the hands of spacecraft experts.

A dazzling cross-shaped mark suddenly appeared in the center of the light column. Every time the mark rotated, a wave of energy ripples would spread out.

"Boom!!"

Wait for the smoke to clear.

Zod, with a dull look in his eyes, was kneeling on his knees in the center of a black pit that had melted into glass. His armor was basically scrapped, and bright red blood was oozing from his charred fingertips.

In the high-temperature black mist, Jonathan walked step by step towards Zod who was kneeling in the center of the vitrified black pit with a diameter of 20 meters.

The charred ground was still emitting blue smoke, and with every step one could hear the creaking sound of the broken glass floor.

"It's over, General."

Jonathan's voice seemed to come from far away.

The armor on Zod's body has been shattered, and his body full of burn marks and cracks is exposed between the damaged alloy armor.

The bright red blood continued to seep out from the gaps in the armor, gathering into a dark red pool of blood on the ground that had melted into glass.

"life......"

His chest rose and fell faintly, and each breath was accompanied by the sound of metallic friction. The broken voice generator made his words unclear.

"Ok?"

Jonathan tilted his head slightly, and his black cloak fluttered windlessly under the dark sky.

"Anything else, General?"

Zod's fingers twitched with difficulty, and his charred nails made a harsh sound as they scratched the glassy ground.

That hand covered with calluses seemed so difficult to even lift at this moment.

Jonathan looked at Zod, who looked like a dead dog, and a sigh flashed through his heart. After a moment of hesitation, he bent down and put his ear close to Zod's mouth.

After a moment's hesitation, he leaned down and put his ear close to Zod's mouth. He could even smell the burnt smell on the other's body.

"What...is...your...purpose..."

Zod's voice was like a broken bellows, squeezing out these words in fits and starts.

Jonathan chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his voice:

"Don't worry, General. My goal is actually the same as yours."

"It's just..." His voice suddenly dropped.

"I only do this for myself... As for reviving Krypton... maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll think about it."

"So that's how it is... hehe..."

A vague sneer emanated from Zod's throat.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes! The last glimmer of madness ignited in his pupils.

The cloudy pupils suddenly turned red as blood, and dense blood vessels spread wildly on the whites of the eyes, like some kind of hideous spider web.

In an instant, two dazzling scarlet beams shot out from his eye sockets. The air twisted and deformed under the high temperature, making a piercing scream!

This is Zod's final killing move.

No matter how strong Jonathan is, everyone is equal in this close attack where he has no time to defend himself.

Sadly, General Zod doesn't know that Jonathan is actually a cheater.

When these two beams of light, comparable to stellar flares, hit Jonathan's face, it was as if he had crashed into a bottomless abyss.

All the violent energy was decomposed into the most basic light quanta the moment of contact. Countless tiny lights jumped on the surface of Jonathan's skin, like stars falling into a black hole.

Every strand of energy was absorbed by Jonathan's cells without a drop left.

The scorching rays that should have melted everything now became nourishment for Jonathan, reflecting brilliant colorful halos in his eyes.

As the energy surged, spiral patterns like solar prominences appeared deep in the pupils, like two collapsing mini stars.

The moment the scarlet was completely absorbed by Jonathan, the madness burning in Zod's wide-open eyes suddenly went out, replaced by an incredible fear.

His pupils contracted violently as he stared at the unharmed young man in front of him.

"No...impossible..."

Zod's voice trembled, like the last struggle of a drowning man.

He had seen countless strange things and had brought about countless destructions with his own hands, but he had never seen such unreasonable power.

"No...you can't be Jonathan..."

Zod seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A colorful halo appeared on Jonathan's face, which was as handsome as the reader. It was the trace of the absorbed thermal vision flowing through his body.

And under this light, Zod saw a smile that frightened him.

"..."

Jonathan's slender fingers elegantly clasped Zod's cheeks, and his muscles tensed instantly.

If you apply a little force with your fingertips, you can hear the bones creaking under the heavy load.

"Crack!"

With a clean turn and a teeth-grinding sound of bone cracking, Zod's head tilted strangely to one side.

There was still a last bit of reluctance and shock in his wide eyes, but the life force was gone.
