General Zod
On the outskirts of the Metropolis, the country's army is stationed, and at the forefront of these troops, a black spaceship floats in the air.
Black Zero.
Krypton's military spaceship.
General Zod waited with his eyes closed.
"It's been 24 hours, still no news?"
"Yes, General."
Faora answered respectfully, standing ramrod straight to the side, her eyes revealing the fortitude and coldness of a soldier.
"Then let's get started. We'll turn this planet upside down and find that Krypton child."
General Zod's eyes were ruthless, all for Krypton.
A large hole suddenly appeared in the wall of the warship, and a powerful gust of air rushed in, blowing items around inside the cabin.
Two people suddenly appeared in front of Zod; the "S" on their chests identified them.
The surrounding Krypton soldiers reacted quickly, instantly pointing their guns at the two uninvited guests, the dark guns flashing a dangerous blue light.
"Put down your gun, this is a child of Krypton."
General Zod gave the order, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
There should only be two children entering the escape pod, so why are there three?
"Kara Zo El, child, what is your name?"
General Zod looked at Kino, wondering who possessed the Central Codex. If he could, he truly didn't want to harm Krypton children.
"Carl El, you can also call me Kino."
Kino intends to keep up the act until the very end, at least until he finds the real Carl El.
Faora's expression changed, and she was about to say something when General Zod raised his hand to stop her, giving Kino a deep look.
As Krypton's military commander, he understood Kino's meaning: the true Central Codex was with Kara, and he didn't want the little girl to know this cruel news in the final moments of her life.
"Well then, Carl, Kara, welcome back to the Kryptonian Spaceship." General Zod tried to make his tone sound as gentle as possible.
Kara looked around at the Kryptonian; they were all so serious, there was no sense of closeness at all.
You're wrong.
Kino vanished from their sight in an instant, now seated in the pilot's seat of the spaceship.
"You should say, 'Welcome back to the King of Krypton's spaceship.'"
All the Kryptonian' expressions changed, and they raised their energy guns to aim at Kino.
"You want to become the king of Krypton?"
General Zod slowly turned around, his gaze filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
"That's right, I will take over the task of rebuilding Krypton. This warship belongs to me, and you only need to obey my orders."
These arrogant words made Faora laugh in anger.
"Let me see what makes you so arrogant."
She stomped her foot hard, creating a sonic boom, and charged towards Kino like a black lightning bolt.
Kara was about to intercept.
The entire spaceship plummeted downwards and crashed into the ground, while the military commander outside watched the spaceship with a solemn expression.
Except for Kara, all the Kryptonian slammed their knees into the floor, creating one large hole after another.
"Of course, it's through strength! That's the proper way for you to pay homage to the King!"
Kino gaze swept over everyone.
Kara felt that Kino was a stranger to her at this moment, and wondered if she should kneel down as well. She had just bent her knees slightly.
"Kara, you don't need to kneel. Just stay aside and watch."
Kino smiled helplessly. Why was this girl so dazed?
"Oh."
Kara relaxed; this was the Kino.
General Zod and Faora, their faces flushed and veins bulging on their foreheads, were struggling to get back on their feet, their limbs braced against the floor.
Although they still possessed their own strength, it felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on their backs, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
"Who are you?!"
General Zod asked with difficulty.
The battle was over before it even began.
"Carl El, you may also call me Kino or Chief."
Kino, watching General Zod and Fiona still struggling, silently bolstered his biological force.
Bang! Bang!
Two muffled thuds followed, and the metal floor dented, embedding the two people directly into it.
"Tell me your answer: follow me to rebuild Krypton, or die here."
Kino looked down
General Zod gritted his teeth and forced out a few words: "You think this will make us submit?"
Despite his body being firmly suppressed by Kino's immense strength, he continued to try to stand up.
Faora roared angrily, "Dream on! We've been planning Krypton's rebirth for years, how could we easily entrust our hopes to some nobody like you!"
The other Kryptonian did the same; as their emotions surged, they spontaneously generated Bio-field to counteract the oppression on their bodies, causing storms to rage throughout the spaceship and the metal floor to emit a piercing, deforming sound.
Kino admires these Kryptonian.
The courage to resist is always worthy of praise, but unfortunately, this courage should not be directed at him.
A red light flashed in his eyes; he was eager to know how long the will of these Kryptonian could withstand the life-threatening trap.
A blue figure blocked Kino's view.
"Kino, please don't kill them."
The entire driver's cab was silent.
General Zod and his men never imagined that the one who would ultimately save them would be Kara, the girl they had originally intended to kill, and that before that...
For a moment, even General Zod felt ashamed and guilty, and his will to save Krypton wavered for a brief instant.
The other Kryptonian looked up at Kara's back; her red cape fluttered in the wind under the ship's dim lights, appearing particularly striking.
In a daze, it seemed as if it were the blazing Red Sun of Krypton, radiating warmth and hope.
Kino stared blankly at Kara.
Even though I know that both Kara are innocent and kind.
But he really didn't expect that Kara, who had been imprisoned and tortured for several years and had gone through a killing spree, would still maintain such Mind Stone.
Seeing that Kino wasn't speaking, Kara thought he was angry and said somewhat timidly.
"Kino, don't be angry. I'm not stopping you from subduing them. I just think that people of the same kind shouldn't kill each other."
"You think that way, but they might not."
"Kino said."
Upon hearing Kino's words, the other Kryptonian lowered their heads and remained silent, their resolve tormented by guilt and remorse.
They were not heinous criminals, but a group of survivors adrift in space, desperately trying to save Krypton.
"What's the meaning?"
Kara was confused.
"It doesn't mean anything."
Kino skipped the topic, pulled Kara aside who was blocking his way, looked at General Zod, and released the bio-force that was suppressing them.
If coercion doesn't work, then try bribery.
General Zod and his men slowly stood up, looking at Kara with complicated expressions.
