Brainiac

Just then, Clark and Kino walked in.

"Father, General Zod."

"Carl, this is the first time you've brought a friend here."

Joe Al thought Kino was a friend Clark had made outside.

General Zod, standing to the side, bowed.

"Leader!"

This surprised Jor El; this was the leader who created the planet.

"Dad, please make a copy of all the information about Krypton technology in the Fortress of Solitude." Clark made the request directly.

Joe El didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded slightly. A few seconds later, the Crystal matrix in the center of the control panel began to rotate and reassemble, and an S-shaped emblem shimmering with blue light slowly condensed from the void.

Clark approached Kino, handed him the item, and looked at him earnestly and sincerely.

"Krypton is destroyed, but the Kryptonian are not. Don't bully Kara, and don't make her cry again, or I won't let you get away with it."

"So this is Kara's dowry?"

Kino took the seal that carried the last embers of Krypton, twirled it gently between his fingers, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Dowry is a term used in the East, but you can understand it that way if you want."

"Okay, Cousin Carl."

The two exchanged a smile, and the tense atmosphere in the air immediately eased considerably.

After a brief conversation, Kino prepared to leave, but before turning around, he suddenly stopped.

"In the East, people value reciprocity. If you give a dowry, then I should also give a betrothal gift."

After the Snap, Kino disappeared.

Clark chuckled and shook his head, thinking Kino was just joking.

"Clark? Where is this?"

"Carl ..."

The voice behind him made him stiffen. He slowly turned around and saw a man and a woman dressed in white Krypton suits, along with his adoptive father.

The far side of the sun in the universe.

Ten Kryptonian are sunbathing here, drifting aimlessly in space, seemingly oblivious to everything around them.

However, after Kino appeared out of Kino with Kara and General Zod, they immediately opened their eyes, identified the newcomers, and then lined up neatly.

"Leader." x10

"Prepare to move," Kino's lips curled into a dangerous smile. "We're going to rob someone."

"Whom are you robbing? What are you robbing?"

Kara asked, puzzled.

"Brainiac, seize Canto City, there should be several million Kryptonian there."

This answer ignited a spark of hope in the eyes of General Zod and all the Krypton.

In the universe.

A massive spaceship was wandering around here.

It's the Brainiac 3 spaceship, searching for new planets and cities as collectibles.

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the side of the spaceship, and the entire ship shook.

The alarm blared instantly, filling every corner, and the red warning lights stained the corridor crimson.

Inside the spacecraft's main control room, Brainiac 3's mechanical face remained expressionless, but dozens of holographic screens instantly appeared in front of him, showing him analyzing the attackers.

"Kryptonian? Have they revived the power of ancient times?"

In ancient times, Kryptonian could draw power directly from Krypton's sun, possessing near-divine abilities.

But when the sun became a red giant, the Kryptonian lost these superpowers.

As Brainiac analyzed the situation, General Zod led the Krypton warriors rampaging through the spaceship, easily tearing apart the thick metal walls as if they were made of paper.

Brainiac 3 remained completely calm, his mind working at an astonishing pace.

[Question: How did they suddenly appear? The alert system didn't react at all. The reason for the attack should be that Star City, but how did they know my coordinates from the intelligence they brought?]

Answer: There is a powerful being I haven't noticed. He's also on this spaceship now, his identity is unknown, but his power level is above my body.

Plan: Probe the enemy, analyze their weaknesses and strengths. If you can defeat them, capture them as collectibles; if you can't, lose their bodies.

It took less than 0.0001 seconds to think about these things.

Brainiac 3 began sending out mechanical soldiers to stop the Kryptonian.

Then the spaceship's alert system was activated, and tens of thousands of projected images rotated continuously in front of us.

Let me see where you are?

However, he was completely unaware that less than a meter in front of him, a fair hand was waving in front of his eyes.

"He really can't find us?"

Kara found it amazing.

"Well, after all, his body is barely at the single-universe level. Although he can fight against multiverse-level beings with his intelligence and technology, his own strength is a weakness."

Kino and Kara stood swaggering in front of Brainiac 3.

The ability to erase one's presence is extremely effective at the multiverse level, but it's not very reliable against a super-intelligent AI like Brainiac, so General Zod draws some of his attention.

Meanwhile, Brainiac 3 stared intently at the projection, trying to find Kino's whereabouts.

"Shouldn't we kill him?"

A red light shone in Kara's eyes.

"Killing him is useless. Brainiac has many bodies. Killing this one will attract the attention of the others. Let's go find Canto City first."

"Um."

The two turned and walked toward Brainiac's collection room.

When the heavy security door slid open, the sight that came into view was breathtaking.

Hundreds of transparent force field canisters are neatly arranged, each containing a miniature city, some of which are still in operation, while in the distance are various alien technologies and artifacts.

"What a bumper harvest!"

In addition to the city model, Kino acquired all the force field tanks.

"It's Canto City."

Carefully lifting the model-sized Canto City and the ant-sized Kryptonian inside, Kara couldn't help but shed tears.

"We're home..."

Kara murmured softly, and a tear, in the weightless environment, formed a crystalline sphere that floated in front of her.

Kino caught the tear in the air; he had just promised Clark, but he had broken his promise.

Let's go home together.

The two men, along with General Zod and others who were "demolishing" the property, disappeared at the same time.

A few minutes later, Brainiac 3 suddenly froze, and the system self-check showed that he had been affected by some kind of high-level mind control.

When he arrived at the collection room, the scene before him almost brought his proud core of logic to a standstill—most of the collection room was empty!

"Damn Kryptonian!"

Having been tricked once, the proud Blainea was furious. Unable to find the culprit, he could only target the Kryptonian.

Colu, a mechanical planet, is the birthplace of Brainiac and the location of his physical form.

In Brainiac, at the center of the planet, open your eyes.

"Scan all cosmic coordinates and initiate the quantum tracing protocol."

I will find you, I will search the entire universe to find you, you will be my most valuable collectible.
