Kryptonian Battle

Perhaps making it in the world really did require having power behind you.

If someone uncovered Clark's true identity, then naturally they could use his family to threaten Superman.

And that was inevitable.

Even an utterly ordinary reporter like Lois had been able to uncover Clark's true identity in a very short time. For the powerful and wealthy people in this world, it would only be easier.

Whether it was Batman Bruce Wayne later on or Lex Luthor, both knew Superman's true identity.

Bruce had not used Superman's innocent family to threaten him, choosing instead to confront him head-on. But Luthor was different, unhesitatingly using those close to Clark as leverage.

Whether Lois or Martha, both were tools he used against Clark.

Likewise, did the American government in this world truly not know Superman's real identity? As long as they were determined to investigate, finding out was inevitable. It was merely a matter of time.

Boom!

Filled with rage, Clark returned to the farm at incredible speed like a supersonic missile. With one furious blow, he sent Namek flying.

Clark had just seen that this bastard was the one who had thrown his mother, Martha, away.

No matter what, he had to avenge this.

Anyone would be unable to endure seeing their own mother humiliated, even if Clark was an alien...

"You actually dared to hurt my mother!"

Clark had gone mad. After knocking Namek away, he charged toward Ophira in the distance while roaring in fury.

Bang!

Yet to Clark's surprise, though it took considerable effort, Ophira still blocked his rage-fueled strike. She stared at him expressionlessly.

"Where is the Life Codex?"

Ophira had already searched beneath the farm's barn and found the spacecraft, but she had not found the Life Codex within it. That infuriated her as well.
