After a deep conversation with Zod, Diana found herself in a dilemma.
On one hand, she didn't want to give up her lover, who she had found again.
But on the other hand, she also understood the sacred mission she bore, and without her powers, she wouldn't be able to protect everything she cared about.
Zod saw her conflicted emotions and said to her, "You all take care of Diana; leave the wishing crystal to !"
While communicating with Diana telepathically, Zod had also incidentally read all information about the crystal from her mind.
If she had still been a demigod, Zod might not have been so easily able to read her mories, given Athena's blessing, but now her power had dissipated too much.
With that, a spatial fluctuation occurred in front of him, and the next mont, he had already appeared in the storage room where the wishing crystal was kept.
He raised his hand and opened the box, but the item was already gone, leaving only a card with borrowing information at the bottom of the box!
Looking at the borrower's information left on it, Zod's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Maxwell Lord, Kord Industries."
Although his appearance had changed so things, there seed to be a mysterious force correcting it, bringing everything back to its original track.
Without hesitation, Zod imdiately unleashed his vast psychic abilities and quickly and accurately located him among everyone.
The next mont, his figure disappeared again, reappearing in the other party's office.
Looking at the pile of ashes on his desk, Zod thought, "Am I still a step too late?"
Then he looked at the smug Maxwell, his eyes becoming dangerous: "You still stole the crystal's power after all."
"Who are you?"
Looking at Zod, who had suddenly appeared like a ghost, Maxwell was startled but still feigned composure and questioned him.
But then he rembered that he had now gained the power of the wishing crystal, and that trace of panic and fear in his heart instantly vanished.
Ignoring his question, Zod rely raised a hand slightly, and a powerful magical force directly restrained Maxwell in place.
Then a voice devoid of emotion sounded in his ear: "Let see the power of the wishing crystal."
Maxwell, who had been incredibly flustered, imdiately cald down; his rchant's nature made him see a possibility for cooperation.
"My friend, perhaps we can communicate in a gentler way. I can let you have everything you want, and you just need to ensure my safety. How does this cooperation sound to you?"
Listening to him, Zod said indifferently, "Cooperation? You don't have the qualifications, nor the necessity."
With that, he exerted a little force, and Maxwell imdiately felt a crisis of death envelop him, his body squeezed by an inexplicable power.
At this mont, how he wished soone would appear and wish for him to escape this predicant.
Unfortunately, no such person would appear, and he could only say helplessly and urgently, "No, no need for cooperation. I can unconditionally fulfill all your wishes, just please don't harm ."
Upon hearing this, Zod sneered twice and casually made a wish: "Since that's the case, then make imdiately condense a multi-level Main God's Godhead and achieve the status of the One True God."
When Zod made this wish, a sudden gust of wind erupted in the office, the clear sky outside the window imdiately beca overcast with dark clouds, and rumbling thunder echoed.
The sudden change in celestial phenona also attracted the attention of official departnts, who quickly pinpointed the area where the first anomaly appeared and dispatched a superhuman team to investigate.
Similarly, this change also made Zod raise his guard to the fullest, ready to flee imdiately if he found anything amiss.
However, the next mont, Maxwell's face instantly turned incredibly pale, and his body began to convulse wildly.
In just a mont, his golden hair rapidly turned gray, and his face visibly aged at an alarming rate, as if so power was quickly draining his life force.
At this point, he could only speak to Zod with imnse difficulty: "Please... please cancel the wish. I am powerless to grant this wish; I'm dying!"
Only when he was about to completely decay did Zod slowly say, "I retract my wish."
As soon as he uttered these words, everything imdiately returned to calm, and even the rapidly aging Maxwell slowly regained his youth.
Zod watched everything unfolding before him indifferently, pondering in his mind: "It does indeed involve so concepts of causality. This might be very helpful for to comprehend laws after advancing to the Immortal Platform."
At this mont, the recovered Maxwell was filled with terror: "Who exactly are you? Why would you make such a wish?"
"Who I am is not important. You should also understand that the so-called ability to grant wishes is rely an illusion, and it will deplete your life energy."
"Now, I give you two choices: first, imdiately abandon the wishes you have made and let the wishing crystal return to its original state; second, continue to be stubborn, in which case I will only kill you and take back the power of the wishing crystal."
With that, a cluster of golden divine fire ignited in Zod's hand, and the scorching flas instantly caused the temperature inside the entire office to rise rapidly.
At this mont, Maxwell's fear of Zod reached its limit; he knew this was not a joke.
A hint of unwillingness surged in his heart; he had only just acquired this power, and he still wanted to use it to bring his career back to its peak.
"You have a lovely child. As a father, I don't think you'd want him to be hard, right?"
These words completely beca the last straw that broke his psychological defense.
Although he was indeed a greedy businessman, his child was his only weakness.
Maxwell pleaded, "Don't hurt him. I promise to cancel the wish."
Zod said to him indifferently, "Then begin. I have no interest in you or your son. Once I get what I want, I will naturally leave."
Having received the promise, Maxwell imdiately shouted, "I abandon my wishes; let everything return to its original state!"
As his words fell, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, shattering the window and heading straight for him, as if to destroy him.
In that split second, Zod reacted, waving his palm and directly shattering the lightning bolt.
Then a strange power flew out from Maxwell's body, re-condensing in the air into a cloudy yellow crystal.
It seed this was its true form; as for the original base and text, soone must have deliberately added them later.
Without hesitation, Zod grabbed it in his hand.
The mont he took it, countless voices filled with seductive whispers appeared in his ear, urging him to make a wish to the crystal.
Zod sneered, "Heh! Haven't I already made a wish? It's just a pity you're sowhat useless and can't fulfill my wish."
The wishing crystal seed to sense Zod's disdainful attitude, imdiately withdrew all its divine peculiarities, and reverted to an unremarkable crystal ornant.
Glancing at Maxwell, who was slumped on the ground, Zod said nothing more, took a step, and his figure instantly vanished.
