4. The Promise of March--Brother Dandan who has not been in touch for a long time [3/7](1/2)
The so-called central treasure book.
When Clark and Merlin discovered the Kryptonian spacecraft falling into the Antarctic glacier on Earth, they learned the meaning of this special item.
As General Zod said just now, as Clark saw in the Loneliness Fortress, the social form of the originally powerful Krypton world at the end of civilization was like a stagnant pool.
The Supreme Council has planned the future of each Kryptonian through genetic engineering, confirming their position in the social system, and regarding the entire civilization as a large, manipulated module, each of which is a screw in the module.
This is a beautiful looking form.
As long as everyone fulfills their duties well, the fire of civilization will never be cut off.
But it just looks beautiful.
When it is actually implemented, there will be various problems. This genetic planning did indeed allow Kryptonian civilization to rush into the stars, but after the peak, it fell rapidly and collapsed.
A civilization that has been planned for everything has no vitality at all. The whole society is in a state of tranquility and cannot see any hope for the future in the mechanical operation day after day.
Once the entire race loses hope, it means that the end of this civilization is coming.
The Supreme Council realized this problem and stopped blindly expanding, recalling all Kryptonians to their home planet, intending to spend generations to fix the error.
But they overestimated the carrying capacity of the parent star, and after a short period of time, Krypton entered a stage of rapid collapse.
At this time, the Kryptonian civilization, which had missed the best time to remedy, was no longer able to make up for the situation.
And as General Zod said, when civilization enters the end, there are always people who are unwilling to be extinct to stand up and try to save everything. General Zod and Joe Al are one of these rescuers.
But they have embarked on different paths for the same purpose, but they have the same destination.
Their tool to save Kryptonian civilization is this mysterious central treasure book.
The Central Book is a special "database" used by Kryptonian Supreme Council to plan the life of every Kryptonian, which stores all genetic samples since the birth of the Kryptonian.
Theoretically, as long as this thing is present, combined with the unique gene cultivation technology of the Kryptonians, that is, the completely dead, half-mechanical and half-blooded "tree" in the Lonely Fortress spacecraft.
With the cooperation of the two, the Kryptonians are constantly re-cultivated.
This is General Zod's plan.
He rebelled against the Supreme Council and wanted to escape from Krypton, which had no hope with the central book, find a world with a good environment again, and rebuild civilization.
General Zod's friend, Kryptonian scientist Joe Al, had a completely different approach.
He believes that the culprit that led to the destruction of Krypton is an out-of-control gene modulation project. If you want to save Kryptonian civilization, you must guide the people to give up the behavior of genetic cultivation of the next generation and return to the reproductive concept of the original period.
Not only did he think so, but he did so.
He and his wife Laura, concealed everyone, had primitive sexual behaviors, and wanted to give birth to Kryptonian life born naturally through reproductive behaviors that best conform to the laws of nature.
This behavior was simply outrageous in the Kryptonian society at that time, and it was definitely annoying. Anyway, it was difficult for people on earth who were addicted to GHS to understand it.
Anyway, Joe's big adventure succeeded.
Laura really gave birth to a naturally born life, which is now Clark.
But it was too late, and the environment in Krypton world deteriorated faster than everyone predicted. When Clark was born, the world was on the verge of collapse.
Joe had no choice but to put his son in the escape warehouse prepared in advance and sent him away from Krypton.
The angry Zod rushed into Joe's laboratory at that time. A pair of good brothers fought. During the battle, Zod accidentally killed Joe. This accident caused Clark to escape from Kura and flew out of Krypton.
That happened a long time ago, but the aftermath of this incident has continued to this day.
"Leave the central treasure book to me! Clark."
Under Thor's silent gaze, General Zod said to Clark in an uncontradictory tone:
"I will take it to the stars, find the right planet to reshape Krypton and rebuild our civilization. You don't need to live with a heavy fate, I will take it."
"You'll get freedom, Earthling Clark Kent."
When Zod said this, his heart was filled with disappointment.
He could feel that there was no real Kryptonian soul in his nephew's body. Clark lived on Earth since he was a child, with his own parents and life experiences.
He did witness the death of his biological father, but it was difficult for him to truly empathize with it, and he lacked the feeling of anger he deserved.
Bloodline connection is not omnipotent.
Zod hoped that Clark would jump up angrily at this time, because Joe's death would fight him, which at least proves that in Clark's heart, Joe was indeed a father.
But Clark's cold expression made him feel disappointed, which was a very contradictory emotion.
The child in front of him has a sense of alienation from everything about Krypton. He remembers his identity as a Kryptonian, but it is just that. He has been completely brainwashed by the culture of the earthlings.
But...it's not his fault.
If it were in the past, General Ezod's temper would have long pressed Clark to the ground and beaten him.
But he has also experienced a lot over the years.
Released from the ghost space by collectors, and used as collectibles, they were sent to the gladiator stage of Sakastar as gladiators. The original 30 compatriots were only 16 of them now.
All of this made General Zod completely calm down. He was indeed very angry. He would definitely go to the collector and Gao Tianzun to take revenge in the future, but this could not be done by him and his soldiers.
He needs to rebuild Krypton, form a powerful, sweeping legion, and avenge the dead warriors.
And the most wonderful thing is that in this new world, he has found a way to make Kryptonians powerful. The yellow sun is simply a gift from the gods. Under the sunlight, the potential in the Kryptonians' bodies will be greatly explored.
Every Kryptonian can become the best and strongest warrior.
But there is a prerequisite for this, and Clark must hand over the central treasure book to him.
"No."
Clark replied calmly:
"When I arrived at the earth, there was no one around me called the Central Treasure Book."
"lie!"
The female adjutant behind Zod held a knife and said coldly:
"I saw it with my own eyes...Jo put that thing in your escape warehouse! Hand it over, traitor!"
The word "traitor" hurts Clark's nerves.
He looked back and saw the Kryptonians around him staring at him with the same cold eyes.
It was as if he did not give Joe Al's revenge, which means he had betrayed Kryptonian civilization and became a person who betrayed his tribe.
Refusing to hand over the central treasure book is even more regarded as a terrible sin.
"Enough! Fiora."
General Zod raised his hand and said to the adjutant behind him and the soldiers:
"Everything goes out! This is a matter between me and my nephew. I promise you that this matter will have a satisfactory ending."
"General!"
The adjutant named Fiola looked at Clark with a look of his enemies. She seemed to be worried that Clark would do something dangerous here, and her duty as an adjutant made her reluctant to leave like this.
She can also draw strength from the sunshine and has been pushing her limits recently and becoming stronger.
But Clark has lived in this world for so many years, and his power will only be stronger.
"go out!"
Zod emphasized his tone.
The general shouted:
"I'm talking to a fellow countryman, who is the son of my best friend. Do you think he will assassinate me? It's ridiculous!"
"There are only so many Kryptonians left, we should unite, rather than pointing our weapons at our fellow countrymen!"
“This is Asgard’s land!”
Thor also spoke:
"You both are my friends, and I promise as Prince Asgard that no one will be hurt here!"
At Thor's mouth, under General Zod's gaze, Adjutant Fiora gritted her teeth and put down the knife in her hand and took the other soldiers out of the hall.
As she left, she raised her finger without hesitation and said to Clark:
"I'll stare at you, boy!"
"You have to maintain respect to the general. He may not need your respect, but you have to respect it!"
After saying that, the tall lady walked out in her high heels.
Only Clark, Zod and Thor were left in the hall.
But the atmosphere did not ease.
"I didn't lie to you."
Clark said seriously:
"In the escape warehouse where I fell into the earth, there was nothing called the Central Book."
"I trust you."
