Chapter 122: Give a hug to the loneliest you, our superman
Deep in the universe.
Brainiac's skull-shaped spaceship.
Squeak...
One by one, the metal tentacles reconnected to the pink socket on Brainiac's green head, and the look of collapse and hysteria faded from his face.
Brainiac sat back on his throne, and his expression became a little playful.
Interesting.
It was really surprising.
Brainiac lowered his head, then waved his hand, and the Black Zero that he had shrunk and stuffed into the bottle came up like a puppy.
Brainiac leaned close to his face like an elementary school boy observing ants, observing the activities of the Kryptonians in the bottle.
All the Kryptonians on the Black Zero spaceship rushed out of the spaceship in a swarm, and they desperately slapped the transparent stand wall formed by the shrinking light. Those strange forces that were originally earth-shaking were just like crickets trapped in a bottle slapping the glass wall hard after being shrunk.
Brainiac moved his fingers, and the "bottle cap" was opened. A force field ray captured Ur, the current chief scientist of Krypton, and fished him out of the bottle world, restoring him to his normal size.
"It's you, Brainiac!"
The first time he saw Brainiac, the Kryptonian scientist took out a dagger from his waist, but he didn't stab him, but simply tried to cut his own neck.
But unfortunately, such a suicidal behavior did not work in front of Brainiac.
Brainiac even had the mood to comment on him:
"You are already the third Kryptonian scientist who tried to commit suicide in front of me, but you are the worst I have ever seen."
"Compared with the fancy suicide methods of your other predecessors, you seem too barbaric and frugal. After all, you are the last immigrants of Krypton? Even the technical means have regressed."
"No! Please, don't do this--"
Brainiac comforted him: "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
"You..."
But Ur had no chance to say the rest of the words. Dozens of metal tentacles spread towards him densely, from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyeballs, filling him up in just a few seconds.
"No, it can't be stuffed anymore! It's all full, no! Ahhhhhhhhhhh--"
Gulp--
A creepy sucking feeling came from the dozens of tentacles, and Brainiac's eyes turned white.
"Kryptonian knowledge..."
"Stronger computing power..."
Increased!
With a thud, Ur, who was completely drained, collapsed to the ground, and felt that his brain was blank.
The knowledge still remained in his brain, but his brain, which was flexible in the past, was now like a rusty gear. Whether it was creativity, imagination, or computing ability, it was all destroyed.
Wisdom had left him, and only the remnants of past glory and the known areas that could never be updated remained.
But Ur didn't care about these at all at this time. He just wanted to survive.
He was programmed as a scientist in his genes, but unlike combat scientists like Jor-El, he was just a very ordinary Kryptonian.
"Brainiac, let me go, I am a Kryptonian, and I am very precious to you..."
Ur tried his best to organize his words, but he only saw Brainiac stretched out a hand and put it on his head.
"It's okay. I've read your memory and know the two key things to revive Kryptonians, the Origin Chamber and the Life Codex--"
"They are all on Earth. As long as I get them, I can make as many Kryptonians as I want."
Brainiac said, "But before that, I need your help."
"What...what help?"
"Look."
Countless materials were rolled up by nanorobots and built and formed in front of Brainiac.
Ur gradually trembled, because he soon realized what was in front of him.
"No, you can't do this!"
He grabbed Brainiac: "Please, my genes are not coded as a warrior, I am not a suitable candidate for transformation. And my knowledge of it is not 100% correct, so..."
But his pleading did not work at all.
When the huge transformation chamber culture dish was formed, Ur was pinched by Brainiac's face and thrown directly into it with a plop.
"Of course I know that what I have transformed now is probably just a defective product, and its strength is not even 60% of the original. I also know that it seems a bit too ambitious to hastily start practicing just after getting the knowledge."
"But unfortunately, I have a grudge now, and I have to avenge him on the spot."
Brainiac said: "Even a weaker Doomsday should be able to meet my requirements."
...
...
...
Clark Kent stood up.
He had seen countless soldiers approaching the place where they were fighting.
One after another armed helicopters, messengers running around and shouting loudly, and negotiation experts repeatedly pondering the script.
Superman let them prepare like hardworking ants.
General Ryan went to the front line in person under such circumstances.
He got off the helicopter and looked at Clark Kent in the middle of the messy ruins.
Sam Lane was wearing a military uniform, with black hair mixed with a little paleness, which not only did not show his old age, but made him look sharper and stronger.
He narrowed his eyes and observed for a while the huge Batmobile behind Clark, which stood up and launched into the sky.
Of course, what attracted his attention more were the two Kryptonians handcuffed to the ground with kryptonite handcuffs.
Then Sam Lane said:
"I'm sorry that we are meeting for the second time under such circumstances."
Superman did not comment. If Batman had not been fixed on the ground like a signal transmission tower until now, he would not have thought of contacting Lane and the others.
He waited for Lane to continue.
"Let me add what we didn't finish in a hurry when we met for the first time."
Zod next to him woke up slowly. He observed Sam Lane and Superman, who were facing each other in a calm manner.
"Since World War II, there have been many cases of humans gaining superpowers, but you are the first foreign stranger. Why are you here?" Clark's peripheral vision swept around the countless soldiers surrounding him. He found that the general's eyes frequently glanced at General Zod and Ike who had lost the power to resist, which made his heart sink slightly. He said: "I may be different from you, sir. But I didn't just come here. I grew up here. I want to use my abilities to contribute to society, just like you and your subordinates." "Well, help others. I heard about it, Superman." General Ryan nodded. "But the point is why you came here? What do you want from us?" Superman stared at the camera on his collar. The other party noticed his gaze and stretched out his hand to tighten it: "Yes, many big shots want to see you. Please forgive my presumptuousness, let's get back to the point-" "You are not an American citizen." Clark frowned. He smelled some unfriendly breath from such aggressive words. Zod sneered. He barely sat up by leaning on the still unconscious Ekko, and his body weakened by kryptonite made him dizzy. He groaned in a low voice, and said with some pleasure:
"They don't regard you as one of their own, Kal-El. They only fear you, you traitor, do you see? Do you understand?"
Clark certainly heard Zod's words, but he ignored them. He said:
"I consider myself an American."
"But you are not. You can fly, lift cars above your head, and burn anything to ashes with your eyes. What else can you do?"
"I can still save lives, inspire people, and cut off evil, I think."
Clark said: "I can do everything good I can imagine."
"But you are an alien."
Lane pressed on: "Have you told Lois Lane? Because I see that you two get along well. What does an alien want from my daughter?"
Sam Lane took out a stack of newspapers, which read: "Lois Lane's exclusive report: Meet the new savior-Superman!"
Superman closed his eyes, and then opened them again. "Okay. I didn't mean to be so confrontational, General. But this conversation is starting to become like an interrogation."
"This is an interrogation, Superman." Sam Lane said.
This sentence made the atmosphere tense all of a sudden. Even though Superman did nothing, the soldiers around General Lane raised their guns in response.
Then General Lane's tone softened a little: "I'm not unaware that this is very inhumane. Especially in the context of what you and Batman just did."
Then he became tough again: "But I'm sorry, there is no room for luck in all this. Humans must be responsible for their own safety."
He said: "This is the conclusion we came to after a unanimous discussion. I'm afraid we have to take away the two Kryptonians behind you. We have to know what we are facing."
Seeing that Superman did not respond, General Lane signaled with his eyes, and a soldier tried to step forward to drag the two Kryptonians away. General Zod did not say a word, he just looked at Clark Kent with a mocking look.
Okay-click.
The soldier and Superman crossed each other.
Then his arm was grabbed by Clark.
The soldier's profile, hidden under his helmet, stared directly at Clark's red eyes.
"Are you going to stop us? Superman... I'll call you that." General Ryan said:
"You are committing treason."
Clark ignored these threats, and his question went straight to the core.
"General, how will Zod be dealt with?"
General Ryan did not answer Clark's question, he asked him back:
"What will happen to him if you deal with him?"
"I will exile him back to the Phantom Zone. A twisted extra-dimensional prison."
"And those people will not let you take these two invaders away." General Ryan repeated: "The order I received is to take them both away."
Clark keenly noticed that General Ryan's subject had quietly changed.
He was silent.
"Will Zod be dissected? Will he be studied? Will he be treated as an inhumane experimental subject?"
General Ryan was silent.
Superman's eyes lit up red, and countless people held their breath.
General Ryan answered slowly and word by word:
"I swear in the name of Almighty God and my deceased mother. I'm afraid I have to answer you honestly..."
"I will."
Instantly, General Ryan's headset was noisy: "Sam Ryan! We did not authorize you to reveal such state secrets to Superman-"
"The conclusion we reached at the meeting is..."
"...You actually blatantly violated the prepared combat plan...Our experts told us..."
"You will go to the military court-military court!"
Sam Ryan had a blank expression. He reached out to take off the headset and slowly put it in his jacket pocket.
"I'm a soldier." Sam Ryan said: "Either win, lose, or make peace. There is no fourth option."
"So make your choice, Superman."
He said:
"Either let us take them away, or go to war with us."
With Clark's hearing, of course he could hear the noise in the headset clearly.
Since Batman was not around, Clark finally used his super brain and came to a conclusion:
"Sam Ryan may disagree with those upper-level people, but he is powerless to stop their decision."
"So he deliberately provoked me to go to war with the army. He wanted me to prove my strength to those upper-level people to dispel their stupid actions and demands that would only anger me?"
"No, of course, there is another meaning." Clark's super brain turned quickly, and he realized another meaning in an instant.
He found that without Batman by his side, he became more than 10 times smarter.
"If he finds that my power 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 find ways to squeeze as much value as possible from me, Zod and the others..." Then he heard General Zod's laughter: "Hahaha! How ridiculous, Kal-El! You just saved the world from my hands, and you were attacked with me for it!" "But what did you get?" "What will this world give you?" Zod spit out a mouthful of cold phlegm, and spoke much more smoothly: "They will never regard you as one of their own, Kal-El! Everything you do is just self-touching. No matter what you do for them, you will always be an alien in their eyes! They will never love you, and everything you do is in vain!" He shouted happily and crazily: "Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! You will never have a good end, and no one will accept you!" Seeing that Clark ignored him, Zod's voice became louder and louder. Kryptonite weakened his body, making him clearly feel his weakness, but this made his spirit even more crazy. He knew he had failed.
He knew that no matter whether Kal-El made the decision or the human made the decision, he would not have a good ending.
So he just cursed viciously:
"Speak, why don't you speak? You have also discovered, you also understand - they didn't kill you immediately now, just because you are very strong!
As long as you show a little weakness, those humans you desperately protect, those dirty, ridiculous humans, will immediately rush up to eat you alive, peel off your skin and bones!"
He laughed like a night owl:
"They don't love you! They don't love you! Hehehe——Kal-El!"
"Enough!"
Clark said.
General Ryan also heard Zod's words, but the mixed expression only appeared on his face for a second.
"Defeat the army behind me." He said, "Let those upper-class people see how hard you are to deal with. This is the best way I can think of." He took off his hat: "It's the only thing I can do." "So, please." General Ryan lowered his head and stared at the newspaper in his hand. It said: "Louis Lane's exclusive report: Meet the new savior - Superman!" He murmured in a low voice: "Our new savior, our savior. Fight with us quickly, use the most powerful force, and smash all our ambitions, filth and darkness together." "I'm sorry. Please." He prayed in a low voice. General Zod's eyes revealed a happy hatred: "Everything is just as I said."
"Oh! Our lovely savior hero, look at you, you are covered with wounds for them. You love humans so much, but humans-"
"No I love you!!! It's so funny, so ironic, hahaha, hahaha, ah hahaha!!!"
He cheered and shouted like jumping for joy. As he shouted, the soldiers behind General Ryan raised their guns, and tanks were driven close, with the muzzles rotating, facing Superman.
"Look! Look!"
"You did so much for them, but what did you get in the end? Facing your weapon?"
Clark's eyes lingered on the muzzles of the soldiers' raised guns.
"Conspiracy? The naked desire to dissect you? Or hatred, fear, and panic?"
"Don't say anymore, Zod." Clark said: "I know everything. I have thought about it a long time ago, and my parents have told me about this situation a long time ago."
He floated up and said to the soldier who raised his gun as gently as possible:
"I will only destroy your weapons, but I will never hurt anyone. You don't have to be afraid of me."
But the only response he got was the soldier's trembling body.
So the God of the World sighed.
General Ryan, protected by several other strong men, quickly retreated to the back.
Soon, only the voices of Superman and General Zod were left in the center of the field:
"Hahahaha! Carl! What else will humans give you besides these disgusting things?"
The soldier opened the safety of his gun.
"What else?"
Clark's eyes lit up red.
"What???"
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and everyone heard someone whispering in their ears.
"There will be a hug."
Clark turned his head and saw Chen Tao rolling up the drifting black sand, pulling the clear sunshine like the sky, and coming for him in the gentle breeze and drizzle.
His eyes were pitiful and gentle, making people a little drunk.
"There will be another hug, our savior, our god. After I solve the problem in front of me." He passed the Superman who was standing in the air, blocked the steel body behind him, and faced the guns and cannons of many soldiers. "It seems that I missed something when dealing with Brainiac." He looked around at everyone: "So now, someone can answer me-" The sharp teeth of the dinosaur appeared on his upper jaw under the refresh of silver particles, expanding his body into a green dragon body. The tube for injecting venom stretched out from behind, and the black and white hood was woven on his face, drawing out two pointed ears. The huge Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its wings composed of black nanorobots and let out a low, dark, thunder-like roar: "What do you want to do to my Superman?!" ... ... ... "Sir Ryan!" Sam Ryan was protected by the soldiers to a safe place in the rear. As soon as he entered the command room, a messenger came to report. "We have captured a Kryptonian, the female adjutant in the intelligence."
General Ryan immediately replied:
"Well, I see. Nothing unusual, right?"
"I'm sorry, General."
The messenger told Ryan: "A purple monster attacked our troops."
Sorry, I fell asleep again yesterday and only finished it now. Woohoo. I wrote 1,000 more words as compensation.
