Little Krypton

General Zod glanced at Kara, but quickly reaffirmed his resolve.

"My existence is to protect Krypton and fight for the interests of Krypton people!"

As they spoke, the spaceship's dome opened, and a beam of sunlight shone down, enveloping everyone.

"So I'm going to save Krypton in my own way!"

General Zod's armor kept falling off, leaving him only in his combat suit; he had already figured this out.

The difference in strength, besides genetics, lies in the yellow sunlight. If they absorbed enough sunlight and possessed the same power as [Carl], they might not necessarily lose.

The sun shone on General Zod and his men. Their cells greedily absorbed the energy.

The surrounding sounds became noisy, the power continued to rise, the body defied gravity and floated up, and the eyes shone with a blazing light.

Kara knew she had done something stupid.

"I'm so sorry, child."

Zod spoke to Kara, then gave orders to the Krypton soldiers behind him.

"Capture them and extract the Central Codex."

Kara clenched her fist and stood in front of Kino again, preventing them from hurting Kino.

After waiting for a while without seeing them make a move, General Zod and the Krypton soldiers stared blankly at her, their faces filled with shock.

Kara looked down at her clothes, finding nothing wrong, when she suddenly felt her cloak brush against something. Puzzled, she turned around.

!!!

A huge sphere, one meter in diameter, floated silently there.

On the sphere, city buildings are arranged in a staggered pattern, with mountains and rivers meandering through them, and all kinds of animals of different shapes and sizes roaming among them.

Everything was so familiar, as familiar as her hometown where she once lived.

Krypton?

Kara extended a finger and gently touched it, but even with her caution, she still left a small crater in the Little Krypton.

The surrounding animals were frightened and scattered in all directions.

Kara quickly withdrew her hand, looked at the dirt on her fingers, and almost unconsciously put her fingers in her mouth and licked them, savoring the strong earthy taste.

It's true!

Kara looked at the Little Krypton in front of her with surprise.

"Of course it's true, and there might be animal droppings in that soil."

Upon hearing this, Kara immediately spat and spat.

"I was just kidding. I'm not a little kid who puts everything in my mouth."

Kino couldn't help but laugh out loud at Kara's adorable appearance.

Kara wrinkled her nose in displeasure, her charming expression resembling that of a sulking little girl.

She then searched carefully on the Little Krypton and finally found a familiar city.

"Look, Kino, this is my house, and your house is here too."

"So small."

"Back then, Krypton was short of resources, and all resources were allocated. Although it was small, it was very cozy. Will I be able to create Krypton someday?"

"Well, I've been basking in the sun for over a decade, while you've only been doing it for a few days. Your ability to create planets hasn't even awakened yet."

"That will take a long time."

General Zod and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. They weren't sure before, but having been exposed to the sun, how could they not know if he had this ability?

Although they weren't close, their awakened Super Vision allowed them to clearly see every detail of Little Krypton.

Some people found their houses there, while others saw the forests, villages, houses, and furniture they had been looking forward to.

Everything on it makes them nostalgic.

Without a doubt, aside from being a bit small, this is their Krypton.

And this person in front of us—no, God created him in less than a second. If given a day or a month, rebuilding Krypton would be just around the corner.

However, the thought of their recent attempt to defy Kino filled them with unease, fearing they might have angered the powerful god.

Kino ignored them and left them to their own devices.

Kara, standing next to him, chattered away about Krypton past in Kino.

Feeling the softness, and remembering what happened that morning, Kino's eyes darkened.

I'm having second thoughts about returning it to Clark.

[Then I'll keep it for myself and ask Clark if he'll sell it later.]

That's a terrible idea. Even if Clark has the best temper, he'll turn into Red-Warm Superman.

[Then give it back to him. You can't pretend to be Carl forever.]

[You're reluctant to part with it, aren't you?]

Venom's mocking voice rang out.

We'll talk about it later.

Kino used delaying tactics, glancing at the excited Kara beside him, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

"Like!"

Kara's gaze remained fixed on the Little Krypton in front of her, never wavering for a moment, her eyes filled with nostalgia and affection.

Kino smiled slightly and slowly pressed down with both hands. The planet, which was originally one meter in diameter, instantly shrank to the size of a fist.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate glass jar appeared out of thin air in his hand. With a gentle lift of his hand, he made the Little Krypton float into the glass jar.

Then, he created a miniature Red Sun inside the glass jar and put it in as well.

Watching the planets in the glass jar begin to move in their normal orbits, Kino placed the jar in Kara's hand.

He said to Kara, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Kara stared in disbelief at the glass jar in her hand, then at Kino, looking back and forth several times before she was sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Ah! Thank you, Kino! I'm so happy, this is really for me!"

Kara hugged the glass jar and jumped around on the spot, even becoming somewhat incoherent.

"Real."

Kara was so excited that she didn't know how to express her feelings. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Kino several times on the cheek.

After the kiss, she realized her actions had been a bit too intimate and quickly explained, blushing.

"Don't overthink it, this is my cousin's way of thanking her brother for the gift."

After saying that, she lowered her head shyly and examined the glass jar in her arms carefully.

Kino looked at General Zod and his men, who were standing there in a daze.

"Your choice."

General Zod breathed a sigh of relief, knowing there was still a chance, and knelt down, as did the Krypton soldiers behind him.

"We submit! Lead us to rebuild Krypton, Leader!"

The troops still stationed outside raised an alarm upon seeing the suddenly vanished warship.

Kino led them to the other side of the sun.

"I'll give you a day to sunbathe. Tomorrow there will be a battle. Prove your abilities to me."

"Yes."

All the Kryptonian flew out of the spaceship, absorbing solar radiation.

Kino had originally planned to take Kara back with him.

"Kino, I'll stay here. I want to soak up some more sun."

Kara realized that Kino was too strong and didn't need her protection at all, so she needed to get more sun to have the power to protect Kino.

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Kino breathed a sigh of relief; he also longed for some time alone with Venom.

"Um."

Kara watched Kino's disappearing figure with reluctance, clutching the glass jar in her arms. She then came to her tribesmen's side, basking in the sun while looking at the glass jar in her hand, a happy smile on her face.

Suddenly feeling the gazes around him, he looked up and saw Ophira and the others who hadn't had time to look away.

"Want to come and watch together? It's really interesting."

Kara warmly invited the surrounding tribespeople.
