Chapter 029: Funeral

Zod died, killed by Wang Bo.

He killed Wang Bo once, and Wang Bo killed him once—that was fair. The only unfair thing was that Wang Bo had the Twelve Trials and could revive, but Zod did not.

So he was thoroughly dead.

After a while, several Kryptonian soldiers ran over and collected Zod's remains.

They did not attack Wang Bo, because they had received Zod's final order, but they did not call Wang Bo General either. Even with Zod's command, they were unwilling to acknowledge that Wang Bo was their new leader.

Everyone has feelings.

They were willing to follow Zod, but not Wang Bo, because Wang Bo was the one who killed Zod. The one these soldiers admired and willingly followed was not Wang Bo, but Zod.

They moved Zod's remains onto the Kryptonian ship and flew away.

Wang Bo returned to the spot and found that Orphira was also gone. Apparently, the Kryptonian soldiers had not only taken Zod's remains but also the injured Orphira.

Just as Wang Bo was about to leave the great desert, the ship suddenly flew back.

After the ship landed, the hatch opened, and a Kryptonian soldier ran out, saying stiffly to Wang Bo, "Orphira orders me to take you back to the mother ship."

Wang Bo was quite surprised. He had originally planned to wait a few days for the Kryptonian soldiers to calm down before heading to the Kryptonian mother ship. After all, the Kryptonian environment inside the mother ship was very restrictive to him.

But he hadn't expected Orphira to change so quickly, directly inviting him. If he didn't go now, she might think he was afraid. He nodded and followed the soldier into the ship.

If things really went wrong, he could use teleportation to leave.

This was a very advanced Kryptonian ship, but the interior space was not large. There was no medical bay. Zod's remains lay on the floor, and Orphira lay beside Zod's body.

Her spine had been shattered by Wang Bo, and she couldn't stand up at all.

Wang Bo looked at Orphira, but she turned her head away, unwilling to look at him. Wang Bo could tell that her feelings toward him were complicated. The two had been fighting to the death, and in the blink of an eye, he had taken Zod's place.

Putting himself in her shoes, if he were Orphira, he probably wouldn't want to face her either.

Wang Bo thought for a moment, took out a strengthened Horse Talisman, and tossed it onto Orphira. As soon as the Horse Talisman touched Orphira, it exerted its powerful effect.

In just a few seconds, Orphira's injuries were healed.

This was unbelievable to Orphira. She knew very well how severe her injuries were. Even in a Kryptonian medical bay, it would take over ten hours, but now, in just a few seconds, she had been healed?

After Orphira came to her senses, her first move was to place the Horse Talisman on Zod.

Zod showed no reaction.

Wang Bo said, "The healing power of the Horse Talisman can cure all injuries and illnesses, but it cannot bring the dead back to life!"

Orphira suddenly looked up at Wang Bo. "You had a chance to save the General, but you watched him die."

Wang Bo said frankly, "Yes, I had a chance to save him. When I found him earlier, I could have used the Horse Talisman to save him and preserve his life, but I didn't."

Orphira instinctively wanted to strike at Wang Bo, but for some reason, she lowered her fist.

Wang Bo continued, "The reason I didn't save him is simple: he killed me, so I killed him—an eye for an eye. If I didn't have the ability to revive, I would be dead now."

The other Kryptonian soldiers looked at Wang Bo with complex expressions.

Orphira's expression changed several times, but in the end, she said nothing.

Wang Bo said, "I have no ill intentions toward you. I only wanted to send you back to your original universe, but you believed Megatron's slander and attacked me."

To be honest, Wang Bo only wanted to send these travelers back to their original universe. As for where in the original universe they would end up, that wasn't up to Wang Bo—it was up to the cheat.

Megatron returning to this world and falling into the Arctic was probably an accident.

But Zod believed it and attacked Wang Bo.

That made Wang Bo very unhappy, so he simply stopped explaining and started fighting. After all, Wang Bo didn't think he would lose.

When Orphira heard this, her face twitched several times.

Wang Bo continued, "And..."

"Enough!!!"

Suddenly, Orphira shouted, interrupting Wang Bo. She didn't want to hear him continue.

Wang Bo glanced at her. Since she didn't want to listen, he couldn't be bothered to speak and simply closed his eyes to rest.

A dozen minutes later, the Kryptonian soldiers piloted the ship back to the Kryptonian mother ship.

Several soldiers carried Zod's remains to the mother ship's hall.

All the Kryptonian survivors gathered there.

Wang Bo also entered, looked around, and found that there were thirty-six Kryptonian survivors on the mother ship, plus the dead Zod, making thirty-seven in total.

But Zod was dead, so sending him back would yield no reward.

So now, these people absolutely must not die.

That represented thirty-six draws! Wang Bo had never obtained so many draws before. He believed that with his luck, thirty-six draws would surely get him something good.

The Kryptonian survivors gathered together and held a simple funeral for Zod.

Those gathered here were basically Zod's confidants. They had rebelled with him, been exiled to the Phantom Zone together, and come to Earth on this ship.

Now that Zod was dead, their hearts seemed empty, and even their future felt uncertain.

Wang Bo did not disturb them, letting them quietly hold the funeral for Zod. At the same time, he was adapting to the Kryptonian environment. The ship's environment mimicked Krypton.

After entering the hall, Wang Bo felt very uncomfortable, his strength severely weakened.

But unlike Superman, he didn't collapse. Instead, he continuously used magic to strengthen himself, adapting to the surroundings and maintaining his combat power.

A few hours later, the funeral ended.

A tall, burly man walked up to Wang Bo. He was massive, a full head taller than Wang Bo, looking down at him with murderous eyes.

Wang Bo stared back without flinching. Sometimes size doesn't mean strength. Even Zod was no match for him; a mere adjutant didn't scare Wang Bo.

If he attacked, Wang Bo would launch a swift and decisive counterattack.

Even weakened, these people were no match for him. To put it bluntly, if Wang Bo wanted, he could kill everyone present with magic at any time.

But then, his draws would be ruined.

So naturally, Wang Bo wouldn't do that.
