Chapter 1048 Dynasty of Supermen: Original Intention

"Why are you progressing so slowly, servant!"

In the burning palace, Darkseid, the dark lord sitting on the throne, is now facing the half-kneeling servant in front of him, the mechanical superman, that is, Hank Henshaw, asking questions about his return to the earth. , I spent so many resources to get him up and clean up, but I am disappointed that I have not achieved an inch of success until now.

"I'm very sorry, master. But you should also feel my limitations on Earth. You try to suppress the Justice League with the social rules of the earth, and they also use the social rules to counter you. With all due respect, if the earth The social rules are like Apocalypse, I think we will not be so troublesome in the first place, the strong decide all the right to speak, this is common sense.”

"This is your planet, your country, your nation, and your society. As a member of this planet, this country, and this society, you are limited in what you do best. Now, you Will you pass the responsibility on to me?"

"No, I just don't understand, my master. We could have solved it at once. As long as you dispatch the Doomsday army in space before, and I lead it, we will soon be able to occupy a place on Earth, and then Eat the whole earth and turn it into a territory you conquer."

"This is not what you need to care about, servant. Your task is to complete what I have entrusted to you, not to question me."

"But the problem is, my master, I'm locked up. The shackles are on me, and I can't act on the earth with a legitimate reason."

"De Sadd will solve this problem for you. But my servant, if next time, the next time you appear in front of me, you continue to use the same reason and the same excuse to explain your incompetence. Remember, What I can give, I can also take back, including your life, your body, and your soul!"

With Darkseid's final warning, the mechanical superman's consciousness returned to reality.At this time, he was lying on a big bed.Next to her is sleeping Leticia Luthor, the biological mother of Lex and Lena, who is almost sixty years old, but with the advancement of technology and medical treatment, this lady still looks about 30 years old. Still the most beautiful, the best age.

Perhaps in the information released by Leticia, Hank Henshaw, who is a mechanical superman, is indeed true love with Leticia.But this was not enough, getting off the bed, the mechanical superman came to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.His appearance had changed, and the organs on his body were replaced by various biochemical organs. Even the shell of his brain was mechanical. He didn't even know whether it was flesh and blood or a product called machinery under the other half of his face.

Even his own masculinity was preserved only through his persistence. This was his only dignity.Looking at himself in the mirror, Cyborg, aka Hank Henshaw, also feels anger and hatred for whoever caused it.He thinks that everything is Clark, that is, his fault as Superman. If Clark could hear his call for help and appear in space, he would not be like this now.

Or, from the very beginning, Clark should not appear in this world as a superman, or be different from ordinary people, and if he does not know about it, then he will not pursue this beyond imagination, and there will be no present Such a series of tragic encounters.Everything is Superman's fault!

Hank Henshaw blamed Superman for all the misfortunes encountered in his life, but he never thought that if he hadn't played with fire himself and insisted on conducting so-called experiments in space, maybe Apocalypse would not notice everything here, He may not be able to choose what happens to him, but he can choose his ending, but he doesn't.If he really understood everything that happened on Earth in these years, he should be clear that when Ke Wen had not officially debuted as a Kamen Rider, there was someone who was worse than him.

That is Cyborg. When Darkseid organized Apocalypse to invade the earth for the first time, Cyborg was also hit by the explosion channel opened by the mother box left on the earth. At that moment, the organs of Cyborg's whole body were almost necrotic. , In the end, it was only with the efforts of his father that he was reborn in combination with the mother box.Compared with the remaining parts of the mechanical superman, Cyborg is worse. He is like the RoboCop in the movie.

Except for the brain, eyes, and heart, he has nothing left.It can be said that the steel bone at that time, under such encounters, he was retaliating against the society, and no one could blame him. If a normal person encountered all this, he would have committed suicide now.But Steel Bone is alive and well. Even without Ke Wen, he can accept his identity and do what he can with the ability he obtained from the mother box.

It is precisely because of this that with the appearance of Ke Wen, his life has also ushered in a new turning point.The invasion of the Earth Three Crime Syndicate and the mutation on Cyborg also allowed Ke Wen to help Cyborg in another way, allowing him to complete the transformation and become the only one who can freely live in carbon-based life and silicon-based life. Transformed humans, aka Humanoid Transformers.

Mechanical Superman didn't, he just blamed others for all the misfortunes he encountered, and took revenge on the world that caused him to suffer misfortunes.

Looking at himself in the mirror who was neither human nor ghost, he was so angry that he also punched out the mirror, smashing the mirror to pieces.

The sound of the broken mirror woke Leticia up. Looking at her lover standing in front of the mirror, she got out of the bed wrapped in a sheet and hugged the mechanical superman, whispering softly there.

"No need to be so angry, my love, they can't restrict us for too long. Play the game within the rules, they can't beat us."

"I'm very clear, Letty, I'm just angry, angry, why can they enjoy all this with peace of mind!"

"So we're going to pull them down from where they are and make them feel our despair, our pain."

Just after the mechanical superman and Darkseid ended the communication, on Apocalypse, Desaad, who was the think tank of Darkseid, couldn't help asking his own question.

"Great Darkseid, as he said, why didn't we use the army to attack at the beginning. We couldn't do it before because the demon-like army was too weak, but now, we have a brand new army, An army unrivaled and destroying all!"

Behind De Sadd, a corner of the outside can be seen through the window. It is a huge fleet. A fleet with a quarter of the size of the Apocalypse just stayed near the Apocalypse.It can't be said to be a stay. Chains extend from the Apocalypse, locking every spaceship in this fleet and making it impossible to escape.

And above and nearby this fleet, endless demon-like legions surrounded them, just like worker bees working hard around a hive.At the same time, in this fleet, on every spaceship, the steel mechanical shell is covered with gray biological tissue, like spores.From time to time, a different kind of demon will break out of its cocoon and join the team.

This new demonic troop didn't have any other orders, and it just guarded the largest mothership in the fleet, which was also the only mothership in the fleet that was not corroded by gray spores.But this does not mean that the mothership is safe. Under such an environment, it is nothing more than the greatest torture for the surviving lives in the mothership.

Dakseid looked at the army he had captured, and Desaad on the side also expressed his doubts and stopped talking.He is very clear about what to say and what not to say. After asking his own question, Dakseid can answer him if he is willing to answer him. He has no right to get to the bottom of it.Dakseid didn't know about De Sadd's question. If he hadn't been arranged by the supreme being before, he would have taken this approach in the future in the branch of the Wall of Origin and the Apocalypse War. .

Of course, the result is the same as Darkseid in the future of the Apocalypse War. The established Doomsday troops destroyed half of the earth, but what followed was a desperate battle. After assessing the situation, they began to be suppressed and moved towards the future of the branch of the Apocalypse War.Now that I have seen the future line, and have taken back the power of the new god and the power of Omega from Ke Wen, I have not done it in that branch future timeline.

One thing has changed, and it is impossible for Darkseid to continue to follow the established direction of the branch in the future, cut flesh with blunt knives, and let the forces on the earth contain these superheroes who should have posed a major threat to him, until the entire branch Wouldn't it be better if the Doomsday army took shape.Compared with the Doomsday army with only a hundred heads in Branch Future, he has now harvested a sample of civilization and used it as a hotbed for the birth of the Doomsday army.

His future is already in his hands, since this is the case, there is no need to worry about it for a while.

"Contact him and send a modified demon-like force to cooperate with his actions on Earth."

"Yes, everything is for Darkseid."

De Sadd bowed, not questioning Darkseid's decision.Raising his hand, the floating mother box appeared in front of him. As Desaad operated on the mother box for a while, in the fleet that was regarded as a hotbed for destroying the body of the day, a small-scale demon-like army emerged from the spores. drilled out.They have both the characteristics of Doomsday and the characteristics of monsters. This is a new type of monsters that will appear in the future of the branch of the Apocalypse Star Wars. The monsters born by combining Doomsday and monsters, Destroyers!

The born Destroyer let out a roar, and flew towards De Sadd under the command of the mother box.As for De Sadd, he also simply opened the sonic boom channel, allowing the new Destroyer team to fly towards the earth along the sonic boom channel.

On the other side, Earth, the North Pole, the Fortress of Solitude.After completing a day of government affairs, under the cover of Amanda and other professional agents of the Sky Eye Society, Clark also left the White House and appeared in his secret base in the North Pole with the help of the sonic boom channel set up by the watchtower.After a special biological scan was performed on Clark, the gate of the fortress was opened. Previously, Clark did not need this technological authentication method to enter the Fortress of Solitude.

Because he has a key, a key that only he, Kara, Connor, Jonathan, and Kong Kenan can lift and open the door.Just because he gave up his superhuman power, naturally this unique way of opening the door can only be modified. Under the leadership of the Kryptonian intelligent robot, Clark also came to the lobby of the Fortress of Solitude. In the lobby, under the guidance of Clark, he landed secretly. General Zod, the former supreme military commander of Krypton, and his adjutant Fiora, are also continuing the life of Clark's biological father.

There is an intelligent projection of the personality and memory of the former chief scientist of Krypton, Joe Al, to communicate. Looking at the phantom in front of him, General Zod still couldn’t ignore it and treat it as an ordinary artificial intelligence, because he and Joe Al The relationship between Al can be said to be close friends, and the two families often maintain a marriage relationship, but they have differences in the way of saving Krypton, which leads to the two becoming strangers in the end. And because of anger, he lost his mind and killed Jor-El.

Originally, General Zod only regretted what he did wrong, and regretted killing Jor-El, but he didn't think that he saved Krypton in the wrong way.It wasn't until these accidents, major events, the reduction of the tribe, and the continuation of Kryptonian civilization that the burden was on him, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure, did Zod understand what Jo-El said back then, Kryptonian, The Kryptonians, including him, have long lost their future.

Looking back on the past, Zod can only sigh. If he could really listen to Jor-El's persuasion, then maybe it will be a different situation now.

"In the end, you were right. You said what I thought at the time. A general and a scientist were arguing over the continuation of Krypton. I wasn't the type. You said that if I had to choose again, How would I choose, Joe."

"There is a country on this planet. It is the only ancient country on this planet that has no historical dynasties and has been passed down to the present. There is a saying there, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky. If there was no dispute between you and me at that time , then you're not General Zod, and I'm not the Jor-El you know."

"But after all, I was wrong. You are right. Ka-El's current position on Earth is the best example. This is a very inclusive planet. I think our people can take root here, truly live on."

"Yes, but not in this form. You should know how much the yellow sun can add to us. The earth can accept one, two, or even three to five supermen. But it cannot accept a race of supermen on the earth. In that case, the earth will only be counting down until it is destroyed, and the father and mother will have no chance to choose. You and those children who are still in the genetic breeding room will also have it, and all of this depends on you. Is it possible to give everything for the continuation of Krypton?"

Listening to the conversation between the artificial intelligence of his father's personality and Zod, after hearing Zod talk about his satisfaction with the planet Earth, Clark couldn't sit still, walked out directly, took General Zod's words and continued .Zod and Fiora were not surprised by Clark's appearance. They are born Kryptonian fighters, and their learning speed is much faster than Clark's in adapting to the earth environment. This period of time is enough for the two One has fully mastered the abilities activated by the Kryptonians on Earth under the yellow sun.

Zod looked at Clark who came out, and expressed doubts about Clark's words.The Kryptonians under the yellow sun have such a powerful ability, which is a gift from the universe to their race. Why does Clark object?
"Sorry, Ka-El, I don't quite understand what you mean. Isn't this planet your father chose for you, for the newborn Krypton? You don't really think that your father put You were sent here just to let you lead the human race here, right?"

Saying that, Zod also looked at the intelligent projection with Jor-El's personality.He knew his best friend, and that was the reason for their disagreement at the beginning. What Jor-El wanted was to use Krypton's multiplication sacred object, the Code of Life, to send out a batch of unformed babies including Superman, so that they could While understanding your own identity, rebuild Krypton in the universe instead of following the old path of Krypton.

Zod directly launched a coup d'état, and under the condition of ensuring that the old system of Krypton remained unchanged, he took all the people of Krypton to migrate to find a new home.In essence, both have the same purpose, which is to launch interstellar colonization, just a hawk and a dove.Otherwise, Jo-El would not have sent the already sensible Kara away at the end. Although Kara was born in a scientific family, her genetic template also had a warrior panel, just to escort Ka-El , and even when necessary, it is used to carry on the family line.

On Krypton, there are no recessive genetic diseases in the marriage of close relatives like humans.

"Of course I know that my father sent me here, not just to be the leader of human beings. You should know this from the fact that I call this base the Fortress of Solitude."

Regarding Zod's question, Clark just glanced at Jor-El's personality and intelligence, and continued there.Zod frowned. Since Clark is very clear about his purpose of coming to Earth, why does he still reject his statement?Just as he was about to continue asking, Jo-El's personality intelligence also motioned for Zod to stop talking and just listen to Clark.

Seeing his old friend's gesture, Zod could only hold back his doubts, and did not ask Fiora, the adjutant, to follow suit.Let Clark talk there about Fortress of Solitude, about the idea of ​​Kryptonians settling on Earth and building a new home.

After glancing at his biological father's personality intelligence, Clark continued: "Before I found out my true identity, I was raised by my adoptive parents, the Kent couple, in a small town, on a farm, I'm a farmer if I say that. As a child, when I was exposed to the yellow sun and started to show my differences, I didn't think I was an extraterrestrial, I just thought I was sick.

Until my other father, Jonathan Joseph Kent, told me the truth, and he told me that my biological parents must have sent me here for a reason.I need to find this reason by myself, and when I used my ability to save people for the first time, I thought I found this reason, that is, to use the power I gave under the sun to do what I can, not to be God, but be a good guy, until I found that ancient colony explorer ship right here in the North Pole.

From the Jor-El personality intelligence activated by the pendant on my body, I have understood everything from his words.My mission is to colonize and lead mankind in a godly way, and then breed a new generation of Kryptonians to turn the earth into a new Krypton.At that moment, I understood that I was alone, so this fortress was also called the Fortress of Solitude, because I did not approve of my father's approach.

I lived here, I grew up here, I was educated here, I have love, friends, family, relatives, children here.Turns out what you're telling me to do is replace everything here?Then turn Earth into a new Kryptonian?Let humans slowly disappear?Don't forget, Kryptonians are also human beings! "

The sonorous and powerful words, echoing in the Fortress of Solitude, also expressed Clark's views on this matter.In this regard, all Zod can do is to be surprised, including Fiora. As the Kryptonian supremacy, the two cannot understand Clark's thoughts.In their view, what Clark, who is already sitting in a high position, should do at this time is to organize the superheroes on this earth and let them fight to save their people.

Take your own people to the earth, settle down, and multiply. It only takes 20 years for the earth to become the hometown of the Kryptonians.Based on the power of these superheroes, they can also be treated as the highest level of Kryptonians, and they are also worthy of such investment.But in Clark's mouth, it doesn't seem to be the case, and they don't understand this.

"Since they are all human beings, isn't it normal for new humans to replace old ones?"

"There has never been such a statement. If this is the case, when our planet Krypton is destroyed, it is doomed that Kryptonians do not need to exist in this universe, Zod!"

"So what do you think, Ka-El?"

After hearing Clark's words, Zod's eyes began to look wrong. For the continuation of Krypton's race, he could be killed by Clark, and he would also ask his subordinates not to avenge him, but to obey Clark's orders .As long as Clark can let his people live and multiply on the earth, one life is nothing, but now, if Clark has no idea of ​​letting his people live and multiply on the earth, then he doesn't mind letting another member of the Al family die .

He was just beaten by reality, which doesn't mean he lost his edge.

"In the genetic breeding room, I will save the surviving Kryptonians, but they cannot live on the earth in their current form and identity. The form I am talking about is the simplest form, and they cannot show their true colors under the yellow sun." They also need to give up the specialness of being a Kryptonian in the yellow sun, just like me. Only in this way can they live on the earth and become a part of the human race on the earth.”

"You must be kidding me, Ka-El, this is not reproduction, not continuation, but assimilation, being assimilated into Earthlings! You are betraying your planet, your people, Ka-El!"

Zod laughed angrily, and talked for a long time, but the result is this set of procedures?If that's the case, why did Joe Alfer send you to Earth so hard in the first place?

"I have never betrayed, Krypton, it can be Krypton, it can also be Earth, Kryptonians can also be Earthlings. Will they not protect this planet just because they have become Earthlings!"

"It's different! Okay, let's take a step back, so what if I agree, so what if I agree on behalf of those children? Our tribe is not only those children, but also those who are soldiers and political prisoners like me. Kryptonians, are you going to convince them too? Can you believe that as soon as you say that, they can kill you, and then kill the superheroes.

Don't think that they can't do it. Compared with a guy like me who launched a coup for Krypton, they are essentially a group of criminals that cannot be recognized in Krypton's laws!If destroying you, destroying me, and swearing allegiance to Apocalypse is exchange for dominance on Earth, they would kill us without hesitation.According to your father's words, there is still hope for humans on Earth, just like those superheroes, they can exist as lords, and humans on Earth live in their territory, and they can coexist peacefully. "

General Zod relented and put forward his own conditions, which was already his biggest concession.Only for General Zod's proposal, Clark shook his head.

"I am very aware of the difference between you and those Kryptonian criminals. If they hadn't felt more comfortable being led by their own clan than being a dog to others, you would not be able to reach Earth now, and would have died long ago. But Zod, have you ever thought about it? Didn’t our ancestors realize how powerful the Kryptonians are under the yellow sun during the ancient colonial period? Could it be that we were born with a predetermined future in the genetic breeding room from the very beginning?”

"What do you mean?"

Zod was stunned. Clark's point of view was really tricky, and it also made him think of something he hadn't thought of.Yes, the universe is so vast, and the yellow sun is not particularly rare. He lives in the planetary system where the yellow sun is, and the whole people are superhuman. Isn't he popular?
There is also the so-called natural birth. When Jo Al showed Clark to himself, he also said that this is the first naturally born baby on Krypton in 10 years. Years ago, Krypton was always born naturally. It was not until a certain major event happened that the natural birth turned into genetic cultivation to shape the future.Thinking of this, Zod seemed to understand something, and looked at Clark.

"What do I mean, you should have thought of it." Looking at Zod's eyes, Clark also understood what he thought of, and continued there: "Our ancestors must have lived under the yellow sun planetary system, and learned that Kryptonians The strength of the whole planet is a race of superhumans. What a powerful civilization this is. All members are soaring. All superhumans mean that everyone is superhuman. Everyone is enough to destroy a fleet. I According to calculations, only a team of five people is enough to destroy the earth in 3 minutes! If you are alone, you can also destroy the earth in 3 minutes."

3 minutes? !When Clark talked about this statistic, Zod was shocked. He had no definition of what he could do under the yellow sun.But Clark has been Superman for so long. In this regard, he is the authority, and he has nothing to refute.But at the same time, as a general, he also thought of such drawbacks.He would be very happy if he had one or two supermen leading the charge.

But he would be terrified if an entire army were Supermen.Because where there is an army, there will be a struggle, a faction.In the past, everyone stayed in a situation where they could argue and not do anything, because once they did, it would cause a mutiny in the army, and whether it was the instigator or the receiver, they would have to go to a military court.But if the whole army is made up of supermen, then who is going to make a fuss? When they come up, they get hot and stare at their faces, and then they start fighting, and then, a galaxy civil war ensues.

"That's right, it's what you think in your mind now. All members are superhuman, which means that the restrictions of laws and rules are useless at all. The only thing that can limit them is their own morality. Then, once a fight happens like this, what will be the result? , Our Kryptonian fleet is no better than a piece of paper in a hand-to-hand battle with our own people. We can neither control the beginning of the war nor lead the end of the war. We can only destroy ourselves in the battle!
So once the superman era starts, the earth will be destroyed, and we will also enter the countdown.In order to avoid this situation, our ancestors chose to migrate and came to live in the red sun planetary system.Because they know very well, without specific conditions, how hard it is to kill a superman.It is precisely because of this that there is a genetic breeding room, and they need everyone to abide by their responsibilities and live all the time.

There may be conspiracies and tricks in it, but most of the time, it is also the compromise and fulfillment of our ancestors themselves.So if you want your people to live on the earth, you can, but if they all become superhumans, then I'm sorry, at least for now, this universe cannot satisfy the survival and development of a race with all superhumans.As for those uncompromising Kryptonian prisoners you speak of..."

Speaking of this, Clark also smiled mysteriously, looked at Zod and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet?" Zod, who didn't react to Clark's words for a while, also asked there.

"Just bet on these Kryptonian criminals, without me and you intervening, they will be defeated by the people on Earth, completely defeated, believe it or not. I lost, according to the requirements of you and my father, you lose Now, I talk about things, you do things, is there any problem?"

???

At this moment, Zod only felt that Clark's head was amused. He was obviously shaken by what Clark said, so you backhanded the distribution in front of him and just played me?
"What on earth do you mean?" General Zod couldn't understand Clark at this time.

"Just ask if you want to gamble!"

"I bet!"

General Zod had no reason to refuse a deal that was not a loss anyway, so he agreed.But after he agreed, Clark also showed a tricky face, and said there: "Then, let's discuss how to save our people, Zod~"

PS: Oh oh, I can’t help it anymore, go play two ranks first, and then come back to watch Zhadao’s edited version of Zhenglian, it takes four minutes, I really hope Xiaopozhan can also play it, just watch it along with the barrage Feel!
