.....

The Kryptonian spaceship hovered in the sky. The Kryptonian who had been fighting Roger was retrieved by his allies, as his shattered helmet prevented him from adapting to Earth's atmosphere.

Roger, who had been knocked back, got back up and watched the departing Kryptonians without attempting to stop them.

He knew that even if the spaceship exploded, it wouldn't harm the Kryptonians inside. And if these Kryptonians adapted to Earth's environment and atmosphere, he'd be facing not just one Superman but a whole group of them.

So, Roger chose to do nothing.

Fortunately, it seemed that these Kryptonians knew Roger wasn't easy to deal with, or perhaps they had more pressing matters to attend to, so they didn't waste much time on him.

After retrieving the Kryptonian who fought Roger, the spaceship quickly flew away.

Roger waited for a while, and soon after the Kryptonians departed, he noticed several armed human helicopters approaching from the distance, more than before.

Roger eyed the approaching helicopters and could guess that they intended to make contact with him.

After all, the Kryptonians had previously claimed that there was only one of their kind on Earth, the current Superman, Kal-El.

Now, suddenly, out of nowhere, another individual with Superman-like abilities, Roger, had appeared.

It was natural for humanity to feel uneasy about the emergence of a second Kryptonian-like individual. This led them to doubt the authenticity of the Kryptonians' words.

They wondered if Kal-El wasn't the only Kryptonian on Earth, and perhaps more of them had already arrived, unbeknownst to General Zod and his group.

To clarify this, they needed to make contact with Roger.

If time permitted, Roger could indeed chat with them, but he didn't have that luxury now.

The retrieval of the Kryptonian he fought meant that General Zod was preparing to execute his next plan. He would soon activate the World Engine, attempting to alter Earth's ecosystem and transform it into the next Krypton.

This process would result in countless deaths.

Before crossing over, Roger had been curious about this scenario while watching the movies.

Superman and Zod battled in Metropolis, with the terraforming machine positioned in the city. From the film scenes, it was evident that every gravitational pulse from the World Engine killed some of the innocent civilians caught in its path.

So, after all was said and done, how many people actually died in Metropolis?

His friend estimated a number in the thousands, possibly approaching ten thousand, claiming it was a reasonable estimate found online. As for the real figure, judging from the movie's portrayal, it could be even higher.

Roger never considered himself a citizen of the U.S., and after crossing over, he became a completely free individual. Besides his pre-crossing country, no other nation held any sense of belonging for him.

But that didn't mean he could stand by and watch innocent civilians suffer.

Just like he had done in Cairo, Egypt, Roger was now determined to save the people of Metropolis who were destined to die.
