"But that's just the way it is." Clark said, "My name, your name, Mom's name, and... Where the hell do I come from? I was already told before I came here. ”

"Even, even the location of this spaceship was told to me by that big brother."

Brother?

Where did you come from, brother, I'm just this one son!

Joel asked reluctantly, "So, you can tell me what the man you call your brother has told you." ”

Clark pinched his chin and thought as he said, "Hmm... For example, I'm from Krypton, a planet that is very far from Earth. There, the red sun shines on the land, and technology has climbed to its peak. ”

"Krypton's technology has even reached a level that can affect fertility."

"And the Kryptonian Secret Archive is the mother of all Kryptonite people after that."

"The Mystical Codex is like a fertility codex, it contains all types of Kryptonian gene pools."

"Some people are born warriors, able to quickly master all kinds of weapons and have a great sense of combat."

"Some people are born scientists, and physical formulas or chemical equations are like living creatures in their eyes."

"There are also people who are born to be workers, and they can operate all kinds of machinery and equipment like they can use their fingers."

"The Mystical Archive is a huge creation chamber that breeds Kryptonians with their own talents and responsibilities."

"This has accelerated the pace of Krypton's development again, because everyone knows from birth what the best job is, and this is what they have to do, so people never waste their talents."

"But excessive mining and development overwhelmed Krypton's core, and it was eventually destroyed."

"Almost all the Kryptonians were destroyed with Krypton in that catastrophe."

After listening to Clark's words, Joel's consciousness suddenly felt that his brain was short-circuited.

Even his projection flickered a few times before becoming a little blurred.

This Nima... Who leaked the news?

It's not scientific at all!

Suddenly, Joel thought of something, and with a swipe of his finger, a screen appeared in front of him.

Then, a photo appeared on the screen, showing the person with a square face and beard, full of murderous aura.

Underneath the photo, a name is written.

【General Drew Zode】

Joel pointed to the picture of General Zuode on the screen and asked, "Is it the man in the photo who told you that?" ”

Clark shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen this General Zode at all, and the person who told me all about it is called Depp." ”

"Depp...," Joel pondered, and finally shook his head slightly, "It's a pity that no Kryptonite named Depp in my memory escaped the disaster. ”

"Maybe I can bring Big Brother Depp over for you to see." Clark said, "I came to this ship with him. ”

"What?!" Joel immediately said, "Then bring him here, maybe... I've found him. ”

With that, Joel began to move forward.

Clark followed, fearing that he would lose what little consciousness his biological father had.

Soon, the two found Depp.

At this time, Depp squatted on the ground, holding an intelligent defense robot in his arms.

Depp's hand scratched back and forth between the robot's neck with the cat's stroke.

And because it was recognized by the spaceship system as its own person, the intelligent defense robot that was held in Depp's arms by Rua not only did not resist, but opened its stomach like a kitten, and softly let Depp massage him.

Clarke:........

Joel: ........

Joel and Clark looked at each other and silently made eye contact.

"Is this guy what you call Depp? He doesn't have a brain problem, does he? ”

"Father, believe me, he really didn't do this before."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

"But that's not bad, at least I don't have to worry about a fool tricking my son away."

"Forehead ....."

Clark went on to say that he had long since become a red warrior under the influence of Depp's big brother.

But in a sense, Krypton's original social model is really in line with the theories taught to him by Big Brother Depp.

Technology and civilization are highly developed, and everyone has their own role to play in order to revitalize Krypton.

Clark sighed in his heart, perhaps, this is the final form of civilization.

"Ahem, ahem."

Joel reminded and said, "Hello, Mr. Depp. ”

Depp looked up, then bared his teeth and smiled, throwing away the intelligent defense robot in his hand.

Then he stood up, wiped the oil off his hands, and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Joel." ”

"You know my name?"

Joel had just asked, when he realized he had asked nonsense.

Because his son just said that the man in front of him told him a lot of information, including his name.

"Of course, Mr. Joel, you are one of Krypton's most well-known scientists."

Depp said with a "I'm familiar" expression.

Joel's projection took Depp's hand and said, "How did you know all this, when I was on Krypton... It seems that I have never heard of you. ”

As Joel asked, Depp immediately noticed several undetectable rays shining at him.

Apparently, this is laser detection equipment on the ship.

Depp estimated that after this laser scanning, he was not a Kryptonian secret at all, and should be completely seen through Joel's projection.

When Depp was considering whether to smash the console and the key inside with one punch to prevent Joel from talking nonsense, Joel's expression changed, and then he showed a surprised expression.

"It's amazing!" Joel kept touching Depp's arm and said, "How can your body be so strong, this is not the strong body that a normal creature should have." ”

Joel's exclamation made Depp immediately change his decision.

It doesn't matter if this guy is sincerely complimented, or he pretends to change the topic after discovering the truth.

Depp understands that Joel won't tell his secret.

"Actually, Kryptonians have quite a special physique." Depp explained: "When receiving the light of the red sun like the Krypton galaxy, the physique of Kryptonians is not much different from that of humans. ”

"After taking off their combat uniforms, Kryptonians are soft, weak, and have no combat effectiveness to speak of."

"You can just change the sun in the sky from an old red giant star to a youthful yellow giant, that is, like the sun above the earth."

"Then the Kryptonians' physique will change drastically."

"Under the yellow sun, Kryptonians will be greatly boosted in strength, speed, stamina, and self-healing ability."

"At the same time, Kryptonians gain special abilities such as heat rays and ice breath."

"Me and Clarke, it's the same."

Depp walked over to Clark and said.

What!

Even Clark is...

Joel pondered for a moment, and then conducted a full scan of Clark as well.

After getting the results, Joel shook his head imperceptibly.

Although Clark's physique also mutated under the yellow sunlight.

But there is no doubt that Clark's genes are fundamentally different from Depp.

However, Joel didn't say much, he was just a projection of consciousness, and he couldn't help Clark much at all.

If he reveals the secret of this young man named Depp, once he starts to kill, he may not be able to guarantee that Clark will be safe and sound.

As if seeing Joel's concern, Depp whispered: "Don't worry, I'm not a crazy person like Zode, I really want to help Clark." ”

"How come you even know that Zuode is not dead?!"

"The coup d'état launched by General Zuode failed, and he was exiled to the land of nothingness for two hundred years. As a result, he escaped the fate of destruction with Krypton. ”

Then, Depp used his life force to send a message to Joel.

[I didn't tell Clark that he was conceived naturally, nor did I tell him why the Kryptonians couldn't leave and abandon Krypton when disaster struck.] 】

Joel was completely confused, who the hell is this guy?

It's strange not to be a Kryptonian, but to know everything about Krypton.

Such a person who could not see through himself at all, told himself that he was sincerely helping his son, Joel obviously could not believe it easily.

But there is no other way for the time being, he is about to dissipate, and he can't launch a devastating attack on Depp.

In this regard, Joel could only pray that this ridiculously handsome young man in front of him did not lie to himself.

After Clark activated the key, Joel's consciousness began to count down to complete dissipation, and in ten minutes, this consciousness would completely dissipate.

And before that, Joel had to teach his children something that he thought was most important.

Fortunately, those important things, Depp did not tell Clark.

Joel turned his head and said to Clark, "Kid, do you know what the Creation Chamber is really like and how the Mystical Archive gives birth to new life?" ”

Clark shook his head slowly: "Big Brother Depp didn't tell me this. ”

Joel waved his hand slightly, and a projection of the Creation Chamber appeared behind several people.

It is as if countless stout plants cultivated in blue culture fluid rise to the sky, and around these plants, one after another, babies are conceived in the nursery balls that grow around the plants.

"The Mystic Archive has a gene pool of all Kryptonian people, which is why we are able to breed Kryptonians of various professions in a targeted manner."

"Some people are born leaders, some are born warriors, scientists, and some are born destined to be workers."

】

As he spoke, Joel waved his hand again, and the picture changed to what it was before the destruction of Krypton.

The red sunlight shone down on the earth, giving the whole planet a dark red color.

Then, a small spaceship carrying a baby slowly set sail, breaking through Krypton's atmosphere and gravity, and flying into the infinite universe.

Eventually, after the baby left, the entire Krypton exploded completely, becoming an eternal floating speck of dust in the universe.

Clark knew that the child who flew away from Krypton was himself.

But at the same time, a question lingered in Clark's mind.

"Why, why don't you leave Krypton, like me?"

Joel smiled and said, "We can't do it, kid." No matter how much we want to, how much we love you, but I and your mother, even Zod and all the Kryptonians, we can't do it. ”

"We are all the same, the failures of our world."

"Because while the Mystic Book gives birth to life, it also imprints the most profound thing in the genetic depths of every life it brings."

Clark asked, "That's... What's the matter? ”

"We can never betray and abandon Krypton, so we simply can't leave the planet that is about to collapse and find another way." Joel looked at Clark with relief on the corner of his mouth: "Fortunately, your mother and I conceived you, you are different from us, you are a natural baby, so you are not subject to the mystical codex." ”

"So... Am I alone? Clark looked at Depp beside him and said, "No, I met Big Brother Depp, and I'm not alone." ”

Joel had a complicated expression and said: "Yes, you are a child of Krypton, and you are also a child of the earth, you can gather the power of two worlds, and your mother and I have guarded this dream with our lives." ”

As he spoke, the hatch in front of the two of them opened, revealing the suits standing in them.

A red cloak, a blue tunic, and an unusually reassuring "S" mark on the chest.

"Earthlings are very different from us, but I ultimately believe it's a good thing that they don't necessarily make the same mistakes that we do. As long as you guide them, Carl. ”

"As long as you give them hope, that's what this symbol means, and the El family crest represents hope."

Joel pulled back his robes, revealing the El family crest on the lined combat uniform, the classic "S" shaped emblem.

"And in that hope is a belief in the inherent goodness of human nature."

"You can bring it all to them."

Clark asked, "But why am I different from everyone else?" ”

Joel glanced at Depp, and then explained to Clark with the report he had just obtained: "Earth's sun is younger and brighter than Krypton's. Your cells absorb its rays, strengthening your strength, your skin, your feelings. Earth's gravitational pull is weaker, but the atmosphere is more nutrient, and you're much stronger than I thought. If you want to know how powerful you are, you can only keep pushing your limits. ”

After saying that, Joel's projection slowly dissipated, and said, "My time is running out, but your time has just begun. ”

Watching his father's projection dissipate, Clarke's face gradually became determined.

He seemed to have found his calling and what he had been seeking.

He will give everything to protect the people of this planet.

The hatch of the spaceship slowly opened, and Clark, dressed in a battle suit, slowly walked out behind Depp.

Depp looked back at Clark, gave the latter a look and said, "Go and push your limits, Clark." ”

No, Superman!
