"Now, what should I do?" I pondered, contemplating a new plan.
Zod's death hadn't been part of my original scheme.
I had intended to take the Secret Backer route, extending a helping hand to him to spark a feud with Zelly, thus splitting the Zol Clan in half.
From there, I would orchestrate a dramatic Internal War Arc between them.
It was unfortunate that Zod's loose lips got him on my bad side, so he ended up suffering instead.
As I surveyed his lifeless body, or what remained of it after I ripped out his useless brain, a new plan began to take shape.
First, I set about repairing his body.
Then, I regenerated a new brain under my control, using the same process used in creating my androids.
Next, I implanted fabricated memories into it, specifically crafting a narrative where it harbored a deep-seated hatred for Zelly and regarded me as its god.
