"I am your father, Carl El."

Ka El Intelligent Projection paused and continued.

"At least his consciousness, his projection, my name is Joe Eyre."

"Carl Ayr, is that my name?"

Clark felt a sense of unreality, the answer he had been pursuing for nearly twenty years was close at hand, and he opened his mouth at the thought of seeing his own father in person, not knowing where to start. "I ...... I have a lot of questions. ”

"My son, don't be in a hurry.

I'll answer all your questions. ”

Joe El said with kindness in his eyes and patience.

"We have a lot of time."

……

"I found it, Mom and Dad."

In the evening, a cool autumn breeze blows across the farm.

At the dinner table, Clark, who had eaten two bites of rice, unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said.

"What?"

The soup spoon in the hand of the father Jonathan was stunned and looked at his son in confusion.

After handing over the David's Lantern Ring to the Atlanteans to study the charge, he returned home and knew what he was talking about when he saw Clarke's peaceful gaze with the joy he had never seen before.

"Thank you, brother."

After thanking David, Clark then looked at his parents and happily explained.

"My people, my parents, I know where I come from!"

Jonathan was stunned.

Martha's mouth opened wide in disbelief, and she seemed to be a little taken by surprise by the shocking news.

"Wow, that's a ...... It's just wonderful. ”

As she spoke, she became a little silent, as if she wanted to ask something but did not dare to speak.

"What's wrong, Mom and Dad?"

The dinner table fell silent, and the delighted Clark was a little puzzled.

"That's good, Clark.

You have found your own background and found a place to belong. ”

Jonathan, who never smoked, suddenly wanted to smoke one at this time for some reason, and touched his trouser pocket, as if he didn't touch anything, which made him a little confused, and his voice was dull.

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry.

Clark won't go anywhere. ”

After a dry sentence, the two of them were immersed in the sudden news for a long time and could not calm down, and David reassured the two couples not to worry.

The son who has been adopted for twenty years suddenly found his hometown and relatives, and the next step must be to return to his hometown, the distant alien, to return to the place that should have belonged to him.

But Krypton is long gone, blown up into cosmic dust.

"My hometown has been destroyed by the explosion of the planet's core.

My biological parents were also killed in that explosion. ”

From Joe Eyre, Clark learns the answers to all questions, such as who he is, why his parents are different from him, and why he was launched to Earth.

"The only thing they did before they died, launched me to Earth and saved me from disaster."

"Don't be sad, child, although I haven't met your parents, it is conceivable that your parents must be a great pair of parents."

Martha got up and took her somewhat sentimental adopted son into her arms and gently stroked his head, Jonathan looked into Clark's eyes and comforted his eldest son.

……

Inside the space agency's space testing station, USA.

"General Swan Wick, I think you have to look at this."

The tall, imposing black general was anxiously ushered into the room by the head of the department, and an unidentified flying object floated near the Earth's orbit on the large screen in the room.

"What is this, Doctor?

Comet or asteroid? ”

"Comets don't correct their orbits, General."

Swan Wick's gaze swept over the technicians in the room, everyone with unease on their faces.

After all, the last time I visited Earth from space not long ago, it was not a good thing, and it almost turned the people of a city into skeletons.

"It's so huge that amateur astronomers can see it through telescopes, and I must inform you before it causes panic."

The person in charge said nervously.

"Have you tried and contacted them?"

Swan Wick, who had lived in the human world disguised as a human being and had achieved high positions for many years, narrowed his eyes.

Black, cold and hard, with a hint of iron, it seemed to be a Krypton-style ship.

"Signals have been sent, but they have not responded so far."

Speaking of this, the person in charge was slightly flustered.

Not speaking can sometimes indicate an attitude, such as contempt and disdain.

At the very least, the spaceship is sailed to the planet of another race, ignoring the friendly greetings and inquiries of others, and it is not like a guest.

"What does it want to do?

An amazing landing? Still is...... Looking for someone? ”

Swan Wick remembered the young Kryptonite who had learned to fly over the Metropolis in the last two days.

"Prepare for a challenge that could be in store for the planet." He turned and ordered.

……

After eating, as usual, Mother Martha scrubbed the dishes.

Father and son sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.

On the screen, a fierce rugby game is abruptly stopped, and an urgent news is inserted.

A picture of a spaceship near the earth's orbit, the host panicked and inserted the shocking news he had just gotten, the spaceship of a technologically advanced alien civilization was found near the earth's orbit, and he didn't wait to finish.

Father Jonathan sat up straight.

"That's ...... is the fleet mothership of Krypton. ”

Clarke, on the other hand, recognized the ship at a glance and was a little stunned.

Doesn't the image of his father's will, Joe El, say that Krypton has been destroyed, and all Kryptonians have died in the explosion except him?

"Zod is still here."

David raised an eyebrow.

At the dinner table, he expected this scene when he heard Clark tell about what had happened after he had activated the North Pole ship, but he didn't expect Zod to come so quickly.

"Can't wait to take back the Code of Life and rebuild Krypton!"

Zizizizi!

With the sound of electricity, the house suddenly went dark.

"There's a power outage?"

Martha wiped her wet hands from the kitchen in confusion, and then saw the TV as if it was broken, snowflakes rolling, and a sound repeating itself, as if calibrating.

"You're not alone."

Father Jonathan took out his mobile phone, and even the phone screen was playing this sentence.

"You, not really, alone."

"It's a signal invasion on a global scale."

Clark listened intently for a moment, the same passage was being broadcast in different languages on TV stations in different countries and regions, and he sat up straight with a shocked face, knowing who the 'you' in this passage was referring to.

"I'm not the only surviving Kryptonian in the vast universe."

"Son, is the ship looking for you?" Jonathan was shocked.

"It should be...... Yes. Clarke's face was solemn, and he instinctively looked at his brother, and his tone was harsh reminding him to be ready for battle.

"David, we might have to get ready."

"Don't you want to say hello to your fellow countryman from afar?" David said.

Clark seems to have matured a lot after meeting his father, less impetuous, and understands the preciousness of his life and his mission.

"Joe Al sent Clark to this planet in the hope that he would guide this new race similar to the Kryptonians and lead them through possible disasters when they were toddlers on Earth, becoming a symbol of hope."

"They probably didn't come with friendliness."

Clark shook his head at his parents who looked at him suspiciously.

"My father, Joe Al, told me how rotten and rigid Krypton had become before its destruction, where the mechanical and rigid class was inscribed in the genes, and that the manipulator would always be the manipulator, and the soldier would always be the soldier.

Anyone who can manipulate an aircraft carrier on a starry expedition is at least a senior officer before the destruction of Krypton.

And the one who can make the senior officers obey the ......"

As the Kryptonian Empire's army, which once almost conquered the entire known universe, their style is cold and iron-blooded, and their battle and conquest are accompanied by blood flowing in their veins, and their arrival may not be a good thing for Earth.

"I'm General Zod.

I came from a distant planet, and I came to your planet across a galaxy, because one of my people is hiding among you. ”

On TV, snowflakes form a vague image of Zod, and there is an irresistible majesty in his unhurried tone.

"Carl Ayr, Earthlings look similar to us, but they are not the same.

You love to play as heroes on this planet and play some imaginative games if you really care about the fate of this planet.

I give you twenty-four hours to come out and surrender! ”

Warned by Zord's telepathic conversation, Clark gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and things turned out to be the worst he had expected.

Threaten him with the entire planet.

But this is not empty talk.

"It only takes a few Kryptonians who have been basked in the yellow sun to have the ability to destroy the world."

David looked at him and smiled.

"What are you going to do?"

"You don't look like you're in a hurry, David?"

Clark was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't the enemy clear?"

David spread his hands: "What's there to be afraid of."

I have grown up and lived with their people for more than twenty years, and I know exactly what they are capable of. ”

Clark choked and didn't know what to say, but David's relaxed attitude did make the atmosphere at home a lot easier.

"Clark!

We don't understand their purpose. ”

The oppressive images on the TV cut off and the light bulb lit up the room again, and Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, full of worry and holding his son's shoulders to get him to stop acting rashly.

The word surrender used by the other party made him realize that the gang had a clearly hostile attitude towards his son.

"But, we don't have a choice."

Looking at his mother, who had raised him and whose eyes were full of worry, Clark's voice was heavy and he made a decision, and he looked at his brother.

"I can't let the Earth be threatened because of me, especially with you and David on the Earth."

……

Aliens invaded all electronic display devices, talked to Earth, talked to Superman, and this incident detonated the discussion around the world.

"Superman, it's really an alien!"

The gossip that has always been circulating has now been verified.

"What was his purpose in coming to Earth?"

The earth will be in danger because of Superman, and some people are impatiently defensive.

The home planet on which humanity depends and the lives of billions of humans are threatened and destroyed by aliens because of superhumanism.

"Hand over Superman, there must be nothing wrong on Earth, why let us bear all this!"

"God, is the end coming?"

"Superman has attracted disaster, attracted the dangerous gaze of the starry sky, he is the source of disaster!

General Zod must be taken away, or this will never happen once! ”

"And the Beyonder, he might be an alien too!

Such a powerful creature could not be human at all, why didn't that alien general mention him.

Could it be that he is another alien? ”

There are also those who defend Superman, he came to Earth to save many people, made many people's lives better, he once saved a city with the Beyonder, and now we are going to abandon our heroes!

But the voices that speak for Superman are drowned out in the overwhelming wave of demands for Superman to be handed over.

"There is a bright side to human nature, but most of the time it is selfish after all."

In the early morning sun, over the metropolis, Clark stared at his phone, frowning and flipping the screen from time to time to flip through the discussion of this matter on the Internet, David swept his eyes.

"This is human, Clark, will you be disappointed in this?"

The two hovered above the edge of the city, waiting for Zod's arrival.

Clark changed into a new outfit, no longer the youth version of Superman costume with a blue half-sleeved red cape, a tight-fitting suit woven from dark blue high-density materials, so he didn't have to worry about the clothes being damaged in the battle, solemn and friendly.

"I don't need a phone to listen to the whole continent.

If this can bring me down, you look down on me too much, David. ”

Clark laughed, putting away his phone, and then became a little sentimental.

"You shouldn't have come along, brother."

He looked into the distance, and the Kryptonian mothership, which could see the outer Earth in low Earth orbit, had sent out a spaceship and flew towards this direction.

Electronic devices that can invade the entire planet, his eyes and ears are everywhere, how could Zod not know that he and David are above the city.

"If there's danger for a while, leave me alone."

"You seem to have lost faith in yourself."

David said, "I don't think I can deal with them. ”

Clark is indeed more mature than before, but under his own influence, Zod's time to come to Earth has been much earlier, and he is not as mature and determined as after experiencing many things in the original plot period, including after the loss of his father.

"Kryptonians are gifted and talented, determined from birth.

A warrior's son is a born warrior, and a repairman's son is born only to do repair work.

And I'm the son of a scientist......"

Clark frowned and clenched his fists.

He was ready to fight and even die. But he really didn't have much confidence in the outcome of this battle, and he didn't agree with David's previous opinion.

"You can't roughly assume that I'm as strong as Zod."

A well-trained fighter can beat a few scientists who soak in the laboratory all day, and I'm afraid a dozen will not be a problem.

"You're underestimating your potential, Clark."

The black spaceship flew in the distance, and David did not act like a great enemy at all, and chuckled slowly.

"It's too underestimated to underestimate the strength of scientists."

It's true that Joe Al is a scientist, but he is a scientist who fights Zod, and if he hadn't looked up at Clarke's spaceship and gave up resistance, Zod might not have been able to kill him.

Laugh at!

The black spaceship levitates in mid-air, opening the hatch.

A heroic and temperamental female lieutenant stepped out of the spaceship and stood on the falling hatch.

"I'm Fiora, and the General has been waiting for you for a long time, Carl El."

She looked at Clarke, who had the El family crest on his chest, and knew that he was Carl El.

Clark frowned, but did not speak.

"Who are you?"

Fiora looked at David in mid-air, frowning, and his tone was slightly suspicious.

"Are you an earthling?"
