Chapter 121: Give a hug to the loneliest you, our Superman
Deep in the universe.
Brainiac's Skull Ship.
......
One by one, metal tentacles reconnected to the pink sockets on Brainiac's green head, and a look of collapse and hysterical madness faded from his face.
Brainiac sat back on his throne, his expression a little playful.
Interesting.
It was such a surprise.
Brainiac lowered his head, then beckoned, and the Black Zero, whom he had shrunk into the bottle, approached like a puppy.
Brainiac leaned in close to his face like an elementary school boy observing ants, observing the Kryptonian activity in the bottle.
The Kryptonians on the Black Zero spaceship all rushed out of the spacecraft in a swarm, and they desperately slapped the transparent wall formed by the shrunken light, and the strange forces that originally shook the world were almost like crickets locked in a bottle slapping against the glass wall after being shrunk.
With a flick of his finger, the "cap" was opened, and a force field of light captured Krypton's existing chief scientist, your, and fished him out of the world in a bottle and returned to his normal size.
"It's you, Brainac!"
As soon as he saw Brainiac, the Kryptonian scientist pulled out a dagger from his waist, but instead of stabbing the other party, he simply tried to wipe his neck.
Unfortunately, such suicidal behavior did not play any role in front of Brainiac.
Brainiac was even in the mood to comment on him:
"You're already the third Kryptonian scientist to try to kill himself in front of me, but you're the worst I've ever seen."
"Compared to the fancy suicide methods of your predecessors, you seem too savage and frugal. Is it Krypton's last immigrant, after all? Even the technical means have regressed. β
"Nope! Please, don't-"
Brainiac comforted him: "It's okay, soon, all at once." β
"You ......"
But your didn't have a chance to say the rest of the words, dozens of metal tentacles spread densely towards him, from the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, filling him to the brim in just a few seconds.
"No, I can't stuff it anymore! It's all full, no! Ahh
Goo-Du β
A creepy sucking sensation appeared from the dozens of tentacles, and Brainiac's eyes turned white.
"Krypton's Knowledge ......"
"Stronger computing power ......"
Increased!
With a thud, your, who had been completely sucked dry, collapsed to the ground, only to feel that his brain was blank.
That knowledge still remained in his brain, but his once-flexible brain was now like a rusty cog, and creativity, imagination, and computing power had been devastated.
Wisdom is long gone, and all that remains is the dregs of the past and the known realm that can no longer be renewed.
But your didn't care about any of that at this point, he just wanted to live now.
He's been genetically codified as a scientist, but unlike combat scientists like Joel, he's a very ordinary Kryptonian.
"Brainac, leave me alone, I'm a Kryptonian, and I'm a very precious ...... to you"
Your desperately tried to organize the words, but all he saw was a hand held out by Brainiac on top of his head.
"It's okay, I've read your memories and know the two key things to resurrect the Kryptonians in the Origin Chamber and the Code of Lifeβ"
"They're all on Earth. As long as I get them, Kryptonians can build as many as I want. β
"But before I can do that," said Brainiac, "I need a favor from you. β
"What...... What's busy? β
"Look."
Countless materials were rolled up by nanobots and built and shaped in front of Brainiac.
Your trembled as he quickly realized what was in front of him.
"No, you can't do that!"
He grabbed Brainiac, "Please, I'm not genetically coded as a warrior, I'm not a suitable modifier. And my knowledge of it wasn't 100% correct, so I ......"
But his pleas didn't help.
When the petri dish of the huge transformation chamber took shape, your was pinched in the face by Brainiac and thrown into it with a thud.
"Of course, I know that what I have transformed now is probably just a defective product, and the strength is not even 60% of the original, and I also know very well that it seems a bit ambitious to start practicing in a hurry just after getting knowledge."
"But unfortunately, I have a vengeance now, and I have to avenge him on the spot."
"Even a weaker Doom Day should be able to meet my requirements," Brainiac said. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Clark Kent stood up.
He had already seen countless soldiers approaching the place where they were fighting.
Helicopter gunships, heralds running around shouting loudly, negotiators repeatedly scrutinizing scripts.
Superman left them to prepare like industrious ants.
It was under such circumstances that General Lane was on the front line.
He stepped out of the helicopter and looked at Clark Kent in the middle of the ruins.
Sam Lane was dressed in a military uniform, and his black hair was mixed with a slight paleness, which not only did not show his old age, but made him look sharper, old and strong.
He narrowed his eyes and took a moment to observe the huge, human-standing Batmobile behind Clark that was launching into the sky.
Of course, what attracted his attention even more were the two Kryptonians who were handcuffed to the ground by Kryptonite.
Then Sam Lane said:
"I'm sorry that this is the second time we've met under such circumstances."
Superman was noncommittal, and if it weren't for the fact that Batman was still fixed to the ground like a signal tower, he wouldn't have thought of contacting Ryan and them.
He waited for Ryan to continue.
"Let me add something that we were in a hurry to finish when we met for the first time."
Zod next to him woke up slowly. He quietly observed Sam Lane and Superman, who were faintly confrontational.
"Since World War II, there have been many cases of humans gaining superpowers, but you are the first strange visitor from outside. Why are you here? β
Clarke's eyes swept over the countless soldiers surrounding him.
He noticed that the general's gaze frequently wandered over General Zod and Ek, who had lost their ability to resist, and his heart sank slightly.
He said:
"I may indeed be different from you, Your Excellency. But I didn't just get here. I grew up here. I want to use my abilities to contribute to society, just like you and your subordinates. β
"Well, help others. I've heard, Superman. General Ryan nodded.
"But the point is, why are you here? What do you want from us? β
Superman stared at the camera on his collar, and the other party noticed his gaze, so he reached out and tightened his hand: "That's right, many big people want to see you." Forgive my presumptuousness, and let's get back to the pointβ"
"You're not a U.S. citizen."
Clark frowned. He smelled something unfriendly in the aggressive words.
Zod let out a sneer. He barely sat up against Ek, who was still unconscious, his kryptonite-weakened body making him dizzy. He groaned under his breath, and said with some pleasure:
"They don't think of you like one of their kind, Carl El. They will only fear you, you traitor, do you see? Do you understand? β
Clark heard Zod's words, of course, but he ignored them. He said:
"I consider myself an American."
"But you're not. You can fly, you can lift a car above your head, and you can burn anything to ashes with your gaze. What else can you do? β
"I can also save lives, inspire people, cut off evil, I think."
"I can do everything I can imagine," Clark said. β
"But you're an alien."
Ryan pressed step by step: "Have you told Louis Ryan?" Because I think the two of you get along pretty well. What does an alien want from my daughter? β
Samlaine pulled out a stack of newspapers that read: "Louis Lane Scoop: Meet the New Savior, Superman!" β
Superman closes his eyes, then reopens.
"Okay. I had no intention of being so sabre-rattling, Your Excellency. But the conversation began to feel like an interrogation. β
"That's interrogation, Superman." Samlaine said.
This sentence made the atmosphere tense all of a sudden, and even if Superman didn't do anything, the soldiers around General Ryan raised their guns in a sudden panic.
Then General Lane's tone softened slightly: "It's not that I'm not unaware that this is very unkind. Especially if you and Batman just did something. β
Then it reverted to toughness: "But I'm sorry, all this can't be left to chance, and humans must be responsible for their own safety." β
"This is the conclusion we came to after unanimous discussions," he said. I'm afraid we'll have to take those two Kryptonians behind you. We need to know what we're facing. β
Seeing that Superman didn't react, General Ryan gestured with his gaze, and a soldier tried to step forward and drag away the two Kryptonians. General Zod didn't say a word, he just looked at Clark Kent with mocking eyes.
Tick-click.
Soldiers and Superman staggered.
Then his arm was grabbed by Clark.
The soldier's face, hidden under a steel helmet, met Clark's reddened eyes.
"Are you going to stop us? Superman...... I'll call you that. "General Lane said:
"You're treason."
Clark ignored the intimidation, and his question went straight to the core.
"Your Excellency, what will happen to Zod?"
General Lane did not answer Clark's question, he asked rhetorically:
"What will happen to him if you do it?"
"I'll exile him back into the Phantom Zone. A twisted extradimensional prison. β
"And those people won't let you take these two intruders." General Lane repeated: "I received an order to take both of them. β
Clark keenly noticed the quiet change in General Lane's subject.
He was silent.
"Will Zod be dissected? Will it be studied? Will they be subjected to inhumane treatment of test subjects? β
General Lane stopped talking.
Superman's eyes lit up red, and countless people held their breath.
General Ryan replied slowly, word for word:
"Swear in the name of God Almighty and my deceased mother. I'm afraid I have to answer you honestly......"
"Yes."
In an instant, General Lane's headset burst into a loud noise: "Sam Lane! We didn't authorize you to reveal such a state secret to Supermanβ"
"The conclusion we came to at the meeting was ......"
ββ¦β¦ You have blatantly violated the battle plan that has been prepared...... Our experts tell us......"
"You're going to a court-martialβcourt-martial!"
Sam Lane was expressionless. He reached down and removed the headset, slowly slipping it into his jacket pocket.
"I'm a soldier." Sam Lane said, "Victory, defeat, or peace." There is no 4th option. β
"So make a choice, Superman."
He said:
"Either let us take them or go to war with us."
Clarke's hearing certainly could hear the distractions in the headsets.
In Batman's absence, Clark finally used his super brain and came to the conclusion:
"Samlaine may disagree with those at the top, but he is powerless to stop their decision."
"So he deliberately provoked me to war with the army, and he wanted me to prove my strength to those in the upper echelons, so that they could dispel the foolish actions and demands of those who would only provoke me?"
"No, of course, there's another meaning." Clark's super brain spun so fast that he understood another layer of meaning in an instant.
He found that without Batman by his side, he was more than 10 times smarter.
"If he finds out that my strength is not as strong as he expected, and he may even be killed by the army, then he will not mind arresting me directly, and then trying to squeeze as much value out of me and Zod as possible......"
Then he heard the laughter of General Zod:
"Hahahaha! How ridiculous, Carl El! You've just saved the world from me, and you're not willing to be attacked with me for it! β
"But what did you get?"
"What will the world give you?"
Zod spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm with cold air, and spoke much more smoothly:
"They will never treat you as their own, Carl Ale! Everything you do is nothing but self-moving. No matter what you do for them, you will always be an outlier in their eyes! They will never love you, and everything you do is in vain! β
He cried out with pleasure:
"Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! You will never end well, no one will accept you! β
Seeing that Clark ignored him, Zod's voice became more and more high-pitched.
Kryptonite weakened his body, making him feel his weakness clearly, but it only made his spirit more and more crazy, and he knew that he had failed.
He knew that whether Karl El made the decision or the humans made the decision, nothing good would end for him.
So he just cursed viciously:
"Speak, why don't you speak? You've found out, and you've known it - they didn't kill you right now, just because you're strong!
As soon as you show a little bit of decline, the humans you are desperately trying to protect, those dirty, ridiculous humans, will immediately rush up and eat you alive, peeling you to the bone! β
He let out a laugh like a night owl:
"They don't love you! They don't love you! Eh, hey, hey, Carl, Al! β
"Enough!"
Clark said.
General Lane also heard Zod's words, but the mixed expression only appeared on his face for a second.
"Crush the army behind me." He said, "Let the upper echelons see how bad you are." It's the best I can think of. β
He took off his hat: "And the only thing I can do." β
"So, please." General Ryan lowered his head and looked intently at the newspaper he was holding.
It reads: "Louis Lane scoop: Meet this new savior - Superman!" β
He muttered to himself in a low voice:
"Our new Savior, our Savior. Fight us, use the force of your might to crush our ambitions, our squalor and our darkness together. β
"I'm sorry. Please. β
He prayed in a low voice.
General Zod's eyes showed a happy hatred: "Everything is as I said. β
"Oh! Our lovely savior, look at you, you are bruised for them. You love humanity so much, but humanityβ"
"No~ I love you!!! It's funny, it's so ironic, hahaha, hahaha, ahaha!! β
He shouted with joy, and with his shout, the soldiers behind General Lane raised their guns, and the tanks were driven closer, their muzzles spinning, facing Superman.
"Look! Look! β
"You've done so much for them, but what do you get in the end? Right on your weapon? β
Clark's gaze lingered on the muzzle of the soldier's raised gun.
"Intrigues? Want to dissect your naked desires? Or hateful, jealous, terrified gazes? β
"Say no more, Zod." "I know everything," Clark said. I've thought about it for a long time, and my parents have told me about it. β
He levitated, as gently as he could at the soldier with his gun raised:
"I will only destroy your weapons, but I will never hurt anyone. You don't have to be afraid of me. β
But only the soldier's trembling body responded to him.
So the god of earth sighed.
General Lane, protected by a few other strong men, quickly retreated to the back.
Soon, only Superman and General Zod's voices remained in the center of the field:
"Hahahaha! Cal! What else can humans give you besides these disgusting things? β
The soldier opened the safety of the gun.
"What else?"
Clark's eyes lit up red.
"What's ????"
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and everyone heard someone whispering in their ears.
"There will be a hug too."
Clark turned his head and saw Chen Tao rolling the drifting black sand, pulling the clear sunlight like the sky, and wearing a gentle drizzle for him.
His gaze was pitiful and gentle, making people a little drunk.
"There will be a hug, our savior, our god. After I settled what was in front of me. β
He overpassed Superman, who was hovering in the air, holding the Iron Man behind him, facing the spears and cannons of many soldiers.
"Looks like I missed something a little bit when dealing with Brainiac."
He looked around at everyone, "So now, someone can answer meβ"
The dinosaur's sharp teeth appeared on his roof under the refresh of silver particles, expanding his body into a green dragon body.
Venom-infused tubes protruded from his back, black and white hoods woven across his face, and two pointed ears pulled out by the brush.
The giant Tyrannosaurus rex spread its wings made up of black nanobots and let out a low, dull, thunderous roar:
"What do you want to do to my Superman?!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Lord Lane!"
Sam Lane was escorted to a safe place in the rear by the GIs, and as soon as he entered the command room, a herald came to report.
"We've caught a Kryptonian, the female lieutenant in the intelligence."
General Lane immediately replied:
"yes, I see. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? β
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."
The herald told Ryan, "A purple monster has attacked our troops. β
I'm sorry I fell asleep again yesterday, and I'm just making up for it now. Woooooooooooo Wrote an extra 1000 words as compensation.
