"You have a mission, and it's your birthright responsibility."

In the main control room of the Kryptonian immigration ship, the artificial intelligence, who claimed to be Clark's father, said to Clark in front of him in a posture with his hands folded on his abdomen:

"At the time of the destruction of Krypton, you were placed in the shuttle pod, and your mother and I watched as you were born into the stars. In the echo of the destruction of the world, we bless you. ”

The holographic projection waved his hand, and a recorded image unfolded before Clark and Merlin's eyes.

It was a world on the eve of destruction.

The wasteland-like earth cracked, crimson magma erupted from the cracks in the earth, and the whole world shook, and in the unclear view of the earth, the barren mountains crumbled and collapsed one by one, and the black battleships suspended in the sky also fell into the sea of destruction below in the confusion of gravity.

There is no sound, but this scene of destruction does not need a sound foil.

Merlin stared at the scene, and he could imagine the groans of the world at the end, the sight of everything dying.

At the end of the frame, the perspective of the record quickly shifts, and the stars become the backdrop, and Clarke's small ship rushes between the stars, and behind him, the whole world is falling apart from the magma bursting from the center of the earth.

This is the last day of Krypton.

"My son, this is your hometown, this is the story before you were born."

Cal. Al's visions pointed to the ongoing footage, his face very similar to Clark without much expression, as an artificial intelligence, although it may indeed have Kryptonian Joe. All of Al's memories and personality data, but his innate will to data makes him rarely have truly visible mood swings.

Clark didn't speak, and neither did Merlin, they watched the end of the picture.

In the final seconds, they see Clark's spaceship rubbing wildly in the Earth's atmosphere, wrapped in heavy flames, and finally crashing into the Kansas wilderness.

Finally, it is opened by a young couple with a frightened face.

The faces of the couple could be seen faintly in the dancing smoke and steam, which were the old Kent and Martha of their youth.

They looked in amazement at the baby who was struggling to breathe in the spaceship, and finally Martha, who was full of gentle faces, reached out and held the baby in her arms, and in the swaying starlight of Kansas, the two of them hugged Clarke, who was wrapped in an overcoat, and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.

"You've been monitoring Clark?"

At the moment when the projection dissipated, Merlin said:

"You say he has a mission, but why hasn't it been exposed until now?"

"It was an accident."

The holographic projection spread his hands helplessly and said to the two people in front of him:

"When Carl was sent away from Krypton, Joe left a bionic machine on Carl's spaceship, which was supposed to be my 'body', and according to Joe's plan, after Carl arrived on Earth, I would raise Carl as an adult."

"But there was an accident in the process of falling, and my carrier, that is, the master control key in Carl's hand, was taken away by the Kent couple, and the technology in this world is not developed, and there is no device that can decode the master control key."

"If it weren't for you finding this immigration ship that crashed on Earth 18,000 years ago, I'm afraid it would have taken more time for Carl to discover my existence."

He looked at Clark and said:

"But fortunately, it's not too late."

"The Kent couple are truly kind-hearted people, and although the way they raised Carl was a little reckless and cowardly, Carl's excellent bloodline still allowed him to survive the challenges from this world and become a healthy Kryptonian, giving him enough ability to fulfill his innate responsibility."

"You said you want me to rebuild Krypton?"

Clark, who had been silent, suddenly said:

"How? Looking for a planet and rebuilding my hometown with my hands? ”

"No, no, no, no."

Joe. Al's hologram shook his head, and he said:

"Rebuilding a world is a long and difficult process, my Carl, but it doesn't require you to move boulders to build houses. The key to rebuilding Krypton has always been in you, in every cell of yours, in every drop of your blood. ”

"The destruction of Krypton is a regrettable thing, but the cause of this destruction is not because of external pressure, it is the Kryptonian people who caused the collapse of civilization by their own hands."

The holographic projection whispered:

"The Kryptonian civilization existed for 100,000 years, and for the first 70,000 years, our world was in a state of prosperity until a wrong policy was implemented."

"Please come with me."

The projected figure vanished in place, and with the help of the projection equipment in the ship, he flashed in the cabin like a ghost, and said to Merlin and Clarke, who were following him:

"I will reveal to you the origin of Krypton's destruction, and I believe that this will also give enough warning to the earthlings."

Moments later, the three of them arrived at the core control room of the ship. Al's phantom waved his hand, and the door to the previously closed control room burst open, revealing a strange device in front of the trio.

It looked like a giant tree of metal and flesh, with sarcomas resembling "fruits" on each branch, which made the tree look very strange and somewhat terrifying, but it had dried up, like a dead tree.

"This is where Kryptonians were born."

Joe's apparition, with a hint of emotion and nostalgia, said to Clark and Merlin:

"This is the cultivation room, 30,000 years ago, the rulers of the Kryptonian people passed a resolution that in order to make the Kryptonians more perfect, they planned our world with genetic technology, the good genes were collected, the inferior genes were eliminated, and people gave up the natural childbirth process with high uncertainty and used biotechnology to shape the 'better' offspring."

"Before every Kryptonian is born, his place and responsibilities in society are already planned. Soldiers, rulers, workers, doctors, scientists, and more have undergone several genetic tuning to ensure that the newborn Kryptonians can perform their duties perfectly. ”

The holographic projection stood in front of the dry cultivation room with his hands behind his back, and his tone became low and gloomy:

"Can you imagine? A social division of labor, like an ant colony like society and civilization. Everyone has their own duties, and the whole society is like a machine with gears connected to each other, eliminating the selfish desires of each individual to the greatest extent, so that our civilization continues to move forward. ”

"It sounds uncomfortable."

Clark looked at the dry nurturing tree and said:

"I can probably imagine that it must be a boring and boring world."

"It's an impossible fantasy."

Merlin also answered:

"Your genetic modification has only erased the infinite possibilities inherent in every life, and seems to improve the efficiency of civilization, but it has sacrificed precious free will, and civilization has lost its right to choose. A society without fun and possibility is a sign of destruction, and by the time you carry out this foolish policy, you have lost your future. ”

He said with some emotion:

"There are such madmen on Earth who chase absolute efficiency and order, but fortunately, there is another group of people who are fighting against them to avoid a situation like yours in our future."

"Yes, you're right."

Joe's apparition let out a long sigh, and he said:

"A glorious civilization built in 70,000 years has declined rapidly in just 10,000 years, the homogeneity of genes has wiped out more possibilities, so that our social development lacks imagination and passion, and the whole civilization has become lifeless, but we feel good about ourselves, we have given up the exploration of the stars, and the turtle has retracted to its home planet, but Krypton's natural resources are not abundant, and it cannot carry the already bloated civilization."

"Before the world is destroyed, we will wake up, but it will be too late."

"Krypton has collapsed, and before it collapses, Joe, as the Chief Scientist, and his wife Layla make a final venture when he steals the Origin Book, which stores all the Kryptonite genes, from Krypton's large breeding room... Then he transferred all those diverse genes into his newborn son. ”

The apparition turned, he looked at Clark, and he said:

"Karl, you are the only child born naturally in the centuries before the destruction of Krypton, you are free, and your genes are full of all the genetic samples of the Kryptonians, which is the cornerstone of rebuilding the Kryptonian civilization."

"You are one, and you are all."

"Your existence is the source of the rebirth of the Kryptonian civilization, the civilization that has been destroyed, will eventually multiply through your bloodline, and finally pass on the torch in this new world, and finally integrate into this world, when those genes are completely liberated, Krypton will also complete the rebirth in another sense."

"We will continue to exist as part of Earth's civilization, and you... You have to be a symbol, you have to guide them, you have to guide the world, to avoid putting him on the path of Krypton's destruction, to let it and the life it conceive follow in your footsteps, and finally..."

The apparition spread out his hands and said to Clark in an emotional voice:

"Eventually, they will stand with you among the stars."

This statement caused both Clark and Merlin to fall silent, and the young Clark couldn't help but touch his chest, he never thought that such a secret was hidden in his background.

Reviving a civilization sounds like an impossible task.

But compared to Clark's thinking, Merlin was concerned with something else.

He rubbed his chin and looked at Clark with a strange look in his eyes, and then at the phantom of Joe in front of him, and said:

"I'm more curious about what Clark needs to do in order to accomplish what you're talking about... The resurgence of civilization, the emancipation of genes, and the genetic modification of Kryptonians have proven to be failures. ”

"So Carl needs to hurry up and reproduce his offspring!"

Joe's Phantom said in all seriousness:

"Mating with different females spreads the genes out of one's body and frees them in the form of life. This is the release program set by Joe, only naturally born life can make up for the diversity and possibilities that Kryptonians have lost in the process of life formation. ”

"Wow."

Merlin let out a dry exclamation, and he reached out and patted the bewildered Clark on the shoulder, and said:

"Your father is so good to you, all he expects from you is to want you to be a peerless scumbag... You have to rely on yourself to breed a race, well, to accomplish this 'great' goal, you probably won't have enough to change a girlfriend every day. ”

"No, this..."

Clark shook his head, and the young man's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"That's not right, I'm not going to do it!"

"You have to do it!"

Joe's apparition came to Clark's side, and he stretched out his hand and put his arm on Clark's shoulder, and he said:

"You have to do this... That's your mission, that's your responsibility. Also, Carl, you're too poor at developing your potential. ”

The holographic projection looked at Clark very dissatisfied, and said:

"You are the best Kryptonian bloodline, under the illumination of the younger sun in this world, your body should become stronger, but you have not discovered your own energy, theoretically, in this world with light gravity, you should be able to complete the flight easily, your ability to resist blows and recover should be more than 10 times the current one, and your pure strength should be more than 15 times your current strength..."

"You should have won more easily against the Cybertron robot before, even if it was Magtron, it wouldn't be your opponent, but you're too weak now, Carl."

"You need to be a symbol to guide the civilization of the earth, you need to be a hero who is recognized by all the people of the earth, and you need great strength to accomplish all this."

"Your father wants you to be a bridge between Kryptonians and earthlings, and he wants you to be a great man..."

"Nope."

Merlin shook his head, and he said to the holographic projection in front of him:

"Judging by your description, Clark's father would have preferred him to be the 'god' of the earth, to be the god of the earth. Only in this way can the mission of Kryptonian resuscitation carried by Clark be better accomplished..."

"I can understand Joe. As a father, Al's expectations for his son, I can also understand his desire to save his own civilization. ”

Merlin glanced back at Clark, and said to Joe's hologram:

"But unfortunately, I can't allow you to do that."

"Why?"

The holographic projection asked in a puzzled tone:

"It's no harm to your world, earthlings. The recovery carried out by Carl can also improve the genes of the earthlings, so that the weak ones become stronger, and the combination of Kryptonite genes and earthlings will make your civilization enter a new stage at a faster speed and enter the stars. ”

"It sounds tempting, but we don't need to!"

Merlin whispered:

"This world has its own rules and order, our development is benign and healthy, we don't need the 'improvement' of external forces, which will only disrupt our natural evolution, the destruction of the Kryptonians has proven this, a planned future is hopeless."

"Of course."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he stood beside Clark, put his hand on Clark's shoulder, and said:

"Another reason..."

"This young boy is my friend, and I don't want to see him forced into a future that doesn't belong to him."

Merlin's eyes flashed as he said:

"I hate the future that is already predestined, I hate a destiny that is set."

"Clark is free, his strength and will come from the freedom of personality and soul, which is the most precious thing in life, and I will not allow you to take it from Clark!"

"Even if you are in the name of salvation, even if you are in the name of the Father..."
