Comforting

Facing Zhang Ye's outstretched hand, Kara didn't freeze or react immediately, but soon, she suddenly closed her eyes. A high-frequency sound, imperceptible to ordinary people, pierced her ears, causing her a splitting headache.

"Don't worry, this is normal. I need you to calm down, focus your attention on me, listen carefully to my words, and don't be affected by other sounds." Seeing her reaction, Zhang Ye immediately understood that Kara had just been enhanced by the Yellow Sun and hadn't adapted yet.

Guided by Zhang Ye, Kara chose to trust him. Soon, the chaotic sounds gradually disappeared, and she felt a little better. Looking up at Zhang Ye, Kara's gaze was filled with confusion.

"Why do you seem to know so much about me? What's going on? How is this planet so strange..." Narrowing her eyes slightly, Kara suddenly realized that she could see Zhang Ye's skeleton.

Being stared at with such vision, Zhang Ye's heart was instantly filled with alertness. It was a very strange feeling, as if he was being seen through, as if he was naked, his whole being exposed to her scrutiny.

Zhang Ye also understood that she had probably unlocked her X-Ray Vision as well. Enduring the discomfort, Zhang Ye said, "It's not the planet that's strange, it's the sun. This must be the first time you've been exposed to a Yellow Sun, right? The radiation from this sun can greatly enhance your body, turning you into an invulnerable 'Superman.' At the same time, it will amplify your senses to an unimaginable degree."

Quietly listening to Zhang Ye's explanation, Kara's body, which had been floating in mid-air, slowly descended to the rooftop. She was now filled with curiosity about this human.

"I know you have a lot of questions. You can ask anything you want. As long as I know the answer, I'll tell you. Consider it my sincerity in earning your trust." Zhang Ye shrugged, speaking calmly.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?" Kara immediately asked the question she wanted to know most.

"I already introduced myself. My name is Zhang Ye, and I come from another universe. Strictly speaking, my partner and I are looking for a universe suitable for me to live in. You can think of me as a wanderer in the multiverse."

Zhang Ye chuckled softly, seemingly mocking his own experiences, and then continued, "As for why I know so much about you, it's because I know a lot about the multiverse, including you, and your cousin..."

"You know my cousin!" Kara suddenly became excited. She interrupted Zhang Ye, asking anxiously, "Do you know where he is now? Has he been captured by these humans too!?"

If there was anyone in the world Kara was most worried about, it was undoubtedly her cousin Kal-El. In another universe, Kal-El had a more well-known name—Clark Kent, also known as Superman.

Kara was much older than Kal-El. When they left Krypton on a spaceship, Kal-El was still an infant in swaddling clothes. This was what Kara was most worried about. He was just a baby. If her cousin was captured and studied by humans, Kara couldn't imagine what would happen.

Seeing Kara's eagerness, Zhang Ye didn't beat around the bush and said seriously, "Kara, I know you're anxious, but you'd better calm down. You might not be able to accept what I'm about to say."

"."

Hearing this, Kara immediately realized that something bad must have happened to her cousin. She slowly clenched her fists, and a powerful aura burst forth. Zhang Ye, who was closest to her, immediately took two steps back. He knew that Kara was suppressing her anger.

It was a terrifying emotion like a tsunami. Kara's eyes turned red at a visible speed, filled with immense energy, as if they were about to unleash world-destroying destruction in the next moment.

But Kara ultimately forced herself to calm down, slowly spitting out a word through clenched teeth.

".Speak."

Seeing this, Zhang Ye sighed. "Don't misunderstand. Your cousin's accident had nothing to do with Earth. He died at the hands of Zod. I believe you should remember this Kryptonian general."

"General Zod? That Kryptonian rebel? How is that possible? He was exiled to the Phantom Zone!" Kara immediately retorted, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Indeed, but you need to know that it was this exile that allowed him to escape the destruction of Krypton. Afterwards, he and his remaining forces intercepted your cousin's ship and spent decades creating the World Engine and locking onto your location."

At this point, Zhang Ye took a deep look at Kara and said softly, "His goal was to find the Codex, which contained the records of Kryptonian genes, in order to rebuild Kryptonian civilization. He thought the Codex was on your cousin, so he tried to extract it from his body, but..."

Zhang Ye didn't continue. In fact, he didn't need to. Kara clearly understood the whole story. She never dreamed that her cousin's interstellar journey would end before it even began, and that the person who killed him would be her own Kryptonian compatriot.

Kara's lips trembled slightly. She took deep breaths, trying to calm her emotions and her angry heart. Then, clinging to the last shred of hope, she said again, "Why should I believe you? You might be lying to me..."

"But you know in your heart that I'm not lying, because your eyes and ears can clearly see through my heartbeat, can't they? Moreover, Zod has already arrived on Earth. His ship is parked over Australia. If you don't believe me, you can go ask him."

After saying that, Zhang Ye looked at the eager Kara and quickly added, "Wait, you're not really going to ask him in person, are you? His purpose in coming to Earth is to find you. Are you planning to go to your death?"

"If what you said is true, then I will avenge my brother!" Kara roared.

"Easy to say, but how? You're a Kryptonian, and so is he. Both of you have been enhanced by the Yellow Sun, and he has obviously been enhanced for longer than you. I admit you're very powerful now, but if you want to kill him, it's simply impossible!"

As the words fell, silence descended on the rooftop. Kara's expression was somewhat twisted, and the anger and unwillingness in her heart finally erupted, turning into endless grievances.

As a survivor of Krypton, she originally wanted to take her brother to live in a new world, without having to do much. Even if the two of them just grew up, got married, and had children, that would be enough. But she never expected that her brother would have already met his end.

At the same time, she herself was captured by the military as soon as she entered this planet and has been imprisoned until now. Now that she has finally been rescued, she can't even avenge her brother.

She had been able to endure her imprisonment all this time precisely because she was worried about her cousin's safety.

This immense pain directly crushed Kara's fragile heart. She collapsed on the rooftop, buried her head between her legs, and began to sob softly.

Seeing Kara like this, Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and gently patted Kara's head.

"Don't worry, I'll help you."
