"W-Well, since you're already here..."
Hearing that, Jor-El felt thoroughly disheveled by the metaphorical wind.
Why did the other party seem so casual? He was clearly some great figure capable of traveling through time. With a mere gesture, he had constructed that scene without even using a projection.
And yet all he said was, "Since I'm already here."
Then what was Jor-El supposed to say? Carl is still a child, please spare her?
Shaking his head, Jor-El spoke somewhat dejectedly.
"So you came here to witness Krypton's destruction while you were at it? Will Carl have a good life in the future?"
Jor-El sighed.
"Very good. The couple who adopted her are wonderful people, and they taught her a very upright set of values. Besides, won't you get to see her once in the future? Using that."
Xu Yue pointed at the key in Jor-El's hand.
Part of Jor-El's consciousness was sealed within that USB-drive-like key. In the future, it would also exert some influence on Superman.
In some DC settings, Kryptonians possessed no special abilities under the radiance of their god. But in the movie universe, even without absorbing Earth's sunlight, Kryptonians possessed remarkably high average physical capabilities.
Especially those individuals bred specifically for combat, as well as oddities like Jor-El.
They probably all possessed physiques comparable to Superman's early days, while their combat skills were even stronger.
Freaks like Zod could even rapidly adapt to Earth's environment, absorb the sun's power anew, and wield it proficiently.
"As for Krypton... personally, I think Krypton is quite nice. It would be a shame for it to be destroyed like this, so I'm trying to persuade your god to give Krypton to me."
Xu Yue spoke with a smile.
"Trying to persuade our god..."
Jor-El could not help rubbing his forehead.
