Kara
Haier face was stern.
He knew that Zod was a tough, unyielding general, the most outstanding general on Krypton, possessing the most exceptional military strategy, war tactics, and insight into warfare.
Clearly, Zod knew he could not survive. He would not die willingly until Krypton had at least regained its former glory.
And the best candidate is Haier; there is no one else.
"General, I've studied the genetic map. Following the path of Doomsday's infinite evolution, I've discovered another complex gene with multiple superpowers. Perhaps it can..."
Haier had always considered himself a researcher, passionate about his work, never imagining that one day he would shoulder the responsibility of restoring Krypton's glory.
The immense responsibility was so overwhelming that it left Haier stunned and momentarily wanting to instinctively save Zod's life.
He did not believe he would be a good leader, capable of leading the numerous criminals of the Phantom Zone to accomplish the important mission of restoring Krypton's glory.
He lacked General Zod's iron-fisted strength and Ba Di's domineering decisiveness; all he possessed was a heart that loved Krypton as much.
But it was this same love for Krypton that led Zod to entrust everything to him.
"It's no use, Haier. Ba Di has been sunbathing for over ten years, obtaining the Codex of Life and strengthening himself. I can only have this power to contend with him."
The space was filled with a scorching heat. Zod's thick keratinous skin and barbed bones caused a magnetic field and a distortion of the air's gravity with every slight movement.
He became increasingly violent, like a restless and savage beast, his scorching aura suffocating.
"Haier, do as you see fit. Whether you become enemies with Ba Di or cooperate with Ba Di to restore Krypton's glory, it's all fine."
"Ba Miu Luo Di is my enemy, not yours."
Zod lowered his voice deeply, his hoarse voice carrying a suppressed savagery. His tyrannical eyes saw Haier's hesitation and doubt, and he solemnly commanded in a deep voice.
"Haier Lieutenant, I, Dru-Zod, the military commander of Krypton, order you to take on this mission!"
"Failure is not an option!"
Suddenly, Zod's thick, calloused muscles twitched, and within the cracks, a violent energy seemed to flicker and surge, bursting forth with fierce and terrifying waves of heat. His muscles writhed, like a giant, ferocious beast created by Devil God, flashing with brutal savage light, breathing heavily, his shoulders hunching and his chest heaving, carrying with him the suffocating oppressive feeling of the entire main war room.
The scorching heat hit Haier's face directly.
Haier's pupils contracted. Only now did he realize how much General Zod loved Krypton, their home planet, and everything he had done for it.
As if emanating from that behemoth, Haier sensed a profound lament for the Destruction of Krypton, the agonizing loss of Krypton, and a despair that tore at the heart, which moved Haier to tears.
On the contrary, I love Krypton! But have I done anything for Krypton?
"General... yes!"
Haier's face suddenly turned solemn. He slapped his left chest hard with his right hand, and his blood and qi seemed to boil instantly. Hot blood surged up and filled every blood vessel, making his heart burn with passion.
He gave a Krypton military salute and accepted the mission.
In that instant, Haier felt something new growing inside her: a huge responsibility, a responsibility she liked, a responsibility she should do.
When everything is lost, Krypton explodes, his father Jor-El deceives him, his friend Ba Di's revolution fails, Zod is powerless to restore Krypton's glory, he should step forward and prolong the life of the Krypton he loves.
With difficulty, Zod forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace from his muscles on his ugly face. In a calm voice, he handed over to Haier everything: the central key to control the spaceship, the various AI permissions, the instruments and methods for controlling Krypton criminals, nanodata, and everything left behind by Jor-El.
Then, his enormous body grew stronger every moment, his muscles growing wildly, turning into a tumor-like mass with powerful bone spurs protruding from it, a ferocious monster like a creation of an evil god.
He stepped out of the Kryptonian Spaceship alone, striding towards the moon in space like a giant meteorite, emitting a scorching red glow from friction as he flew toward the moon.
With Haier watched through the glass shield of the main battle room as General Zod's massive figure receded into the distance.
Haier remained silent, watching as Zod's body gradually became a tiny dot in space.
a long time.
As soon as Haier turned around, his face showed a resolute determination to shoulder the glory of Krypton, as if he had undergone a transformation in just a few dozen seconds.
In fact, I also have the ability to save Krypton from the past.
To save all of this, to reverse all of this! He strode forward, his steps firm, through the control room of the Kryptonian Spaceship, through the metal tunnels, through the Chamber of Life's Origin, through the gene bank, and through the prison cells.
Finally, deep inside, it stopped in front of a girl imprisoned by an energy barrier.
Kara, quietly wiping away tears, hugging her calves and curling up, was heavy with sorrow, lost in the memories of the past.
Since the turmoil on Krypton, his teacher, who was very close to his family, was forced to leave Krypton after the revolution failed, and his fate is unknown.
The mother disobeyed orders and died under trial by the Krypton Council.
The father hastily prepared an escape pod for his own escape.
Ultimately, she was unable to escape. She was struck by the meteor shower and wandered near the Phantom Zone prison until Zod's Kryptonian Spaceship appeared. She was then treated as a criminal and imprisoned, deprived of her freedom.
On Krypton, the Kara family is one of the Family secretly supporting the Ba Di's Revolution. The House of El is divided into two factions; Jor-El's position is believed to be seen by the Krypton leadership, who understand Krypton's perilous situation and are working to change it.
Meanwhile, the Kara family, including Jor-El's brother, Zo-El, secretly supported the Ba Di revolution to overthrow this distorted society.
Providing Ba Di with high-tech weapons and acting as an inside agent, Kara's family would face severe repercussions after Ba Di's defeat, making it difficult for them to survive.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Kara put down the leg she was hugging. A blue energy screen reflected on the girl's tender face. She stared at Haier with vigilance and hatred like a little tiger.
"Haier, what are you doing here?"
Kara glared at Haier with hatred, her pale fists clenched tightly, trembling with anger, staring at Haier with resentment.
Everything— Ba Di's failure, his mother's disobedience and subsequent murder, and his father's death in the Krypton Destruction —is inseparable from the betrayal of Haier, Ba Di's best friend.
Being in opposition to each other, and with almost no need for thought, Kara naturally felt disgust and hatred towards Haier's seemingly harmless appearance.
"You'll thank me, Kara."
Haier stared at Kara's tender young face, a more determined look flashing in his eyes.
"How can I ever thank the person who caused the death of my entire family! Bastard!"
Kara couldn't contain her anger, her eyes turning red. She slammed her slender white fist into the blue energy shield with a loud 'thump thump'. The strong, circumferential kinetic energy rebounded, making her feel as if she had hit a steel wall, knocking her hand away. A patch of red appeared on the surface of her fair fist.
He Haier silent, standing before the cage, his eyes fixed on Kara's hateful gaze.
It was as if he wanted to see into his own heart, to etch Kara's pain at this moment into his own heart.
This further strengthened his resolve.
With a 'whoosh' sound.
Suddenly, the energy in the prison, which was encased in a blue energy shield, was abruptly withdrawn.
"What do you want to do, Haier!"
Kara was startled and assumed a fighting stance, her fist pointing at Haier, filled with deep vigilance.
In her mind, Haier was an absolute villain, the culprit behind the deaths of her parents and the failure of her teacher Ba Di's revolution.
Now, alone in prison, Kara instantly conjured up dozens of schemes to blackmail her teacher using herself.
In an instant, she adopted the combat technique taught by Teacher Ba Di. As soon as Haier made any unusual movement, she would immediately use a scissor kick to clamp Haier's neck and use the kinetic energy generated by the rotation to break his neck! Kara raised her fist and thought fiercely.
"You can leave now. I will give you a spaceship so you can go to Ba Di's side."
"Tell Ba Di."
"If I can kill Zod, I'm willing to submit to him. The Kryptonian Spaceship, all the items on it, the criminals—it's all his."
"But... he has to agree to one condition!"
