Chapter 290: Zod's Rebellion on Krypton

Located in the vast deep space of the universe, Krypton's combat colony ship is flying at high speed.

"Leader, the road we came from has collapsed." A Kryptonian in a white research uniform looked at the man in the cabin and said, "Just as you guessed, we have no way to retreat."

After hearing the man's words, the middle-aged man, who was called the leader, nodded after a brief silence. Without turning back to look at the man, Jor-El just stared at the screen on the battleship and said, "Speed ​​up, we must reach the target world in the shortest time possible and find the Son of Hope and the Secret Book of Creation. Only in this way can we rebuild the civilization of Krypton!"

After hearing the man's words, the people around him also showed expressions of unity.

Jor-El. In most DC universes, Superman Clark Kent is his biological father. The person Jor-El calls the Son of Hope is naturally his son Clark.

Although the world was destroyed, before the world entered reincarnation, the lesioned Superman finally released the signal set by Krypton. Under the effect of this signal, the Kryptonian colony spacecraft successfully arrived at the Earth of the Flashpoint world, and completed the jump through the space-time fluctuations generated near the Flashpoint Earth when the world crossed.

In the process, in order to get enough energy to reach the new world, Jor-El did not hesitate to accept the gift from the dark multiverse - but as a scholar, Jor-El knew very well that the world virus had extremely terrifying destructive power and infectious characteristics. In this case, Jor-El's way of dealing with the world virus was also very simple.

Eat the sugar coating and fire the shells back.

The world virus was contained in a special organic container, and then mechanically controlled to avoid direct contact with the world virus. This allowed the Kryptonian colony ship to successfully reach the new world, and no infected people were produced in the process.

Unfortunately, this situation will not last long. The reason is very simple, because the world virus has penetrated into the steel of the engine.

"We must reach the target world quickly, otherwise everyone will be infected!" Thinking to himself, Joe El's eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness. And in this coldness and ruthlessness, there was also a subtle hope.

At the same time, many Kryptonian warships tried to escape from the original world by folding time and space, including the Eternal Colonizer led by Commander Jor-El. However, some of these warships were lost in the endless time and space, or were purged by the world's own cleaning mechanism, or fell into the inverted tree and became slaves that could not be freed... In the end, only his warship successfully arrived in the new world.

This is a hardship, but also an opportunity.

Is Krypton powerful? Of course it is. Krypton has 50 times the gravity of the Earth, plus a lot of kryptonite, so when they were on Krypton, the Kryptonians had not yet discovered their own strength. But as the Kryptonians set foot in the sea of ​​stars, they were illuminated by the yellow sun and felt the endless replenishment of cosmic energy. Soon, the Kryptonians ushered in an explosion of technology and combat power.

The cosmic energy strengthened the wisdom and body of the Kryptonians, which allowed them to escape from heavy physical labor at an astonishing speed. However, with the strengthening of strength and wisdom, the society of Krypton became more rigid. For example, the abuse of technology led to the deterioration of the environment of Krypton and a large number of colonized planets. The strong xenophobia made them refuse to communicate with the outside world and stick to their own ways. Even when Krypton was about to be destroyed, no civilization warned them.

And the strict hierarchy leads to class solidification, etc. But the most important reason is the population control system, which is the secret book of creation that Jor-El needs.

The Creation Code records the genetic code of all Kryptonians. Mastering the Creation Code means being able to clone a brand new Kryptonian civilization at any time. However, in this case, Kryptonians never lack talent. Because whether it is scientists or artists, they can be mass-produced through genetic engineering.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Creation Code that Kryptonians do not need to reproduce. Each newborn is created according to the overall needs of civilization.

In the same way, Kryptonians can have stable jobs without working hard. Of course, no matter how hard they work, they cannot change their fate, because everything has been determined since the moment they were born. The main political system of Krypton is the union, namely the Science Guild, the Warrior Guild, the Art Guild, the Thinker Guild, the Labor Guild, etc.

It sounds good, but in fact it is just an aggravated space caste system. The Science Guild and the Warrior Guild have the highest status. The former represents the scientific development and future of Krypton, and the latter represents the force and military of Krypton. In contrast, the Labor Guild, as the name suggests, is the lowest level in the Kryptonian caste system. Once you are assigned to the Labor Guild, you can only do the lowest job for your whole life.

In addition to the Grand Guild, Krypton also has a Kryptonian Committee, which is used to decide important matters that determine the fate of Krypton. It sounds fair, but the Labor Union did not have a seat in the Kryptonian Committee until the destruction of Krypton, which shows how low the status of Kryptonian labor is.

Under such circumstances, naturally, the Kryptonians lost their enterprising spirit.

As one of the most intelligent people on Krypton, Jor-El is well aware that a race without ambition is destined to have no future.

Unfortunately, Krypton's problems are so deep-rooted that even with Jor-El's advice, the rulers of Krypton are still unwilling to give up the power that is within their reach. Is this because they are short-sighted?
No... they just don't want to hand over their rights to those lowly laborers.

And now...

The once glorious Krypton is now left with only this one lone sapling.

Jor-El's heart is filled with strong emotions - he wants to change Krypton. He failed before. But now, the chance has come! As long as the Secret Book of Creation is found, it won't be long before a new, more enterprising, and more powerful Kryptonian civilization will be reborn in this new world!
What he had to do now was to reach the world called "Earth"——

Jor-El already knows that Krypton in this world has been destroyed, but his own son in this world had left Krypton and arrived on Earth before Krypton was destroyed.

As the last orphan of Krypton and as his own son from another world, Jor-El has enough confidence to convince Clark.

Even Joe Al's heart was filled with gratitude - at least, in this world, he could see what his son would look like when he grew up!

While Joe El was still thinking this, at the other end of the battleship, Zod, who was monitoring all the sounds in the main control room, also fell silent.

As the supreme leader of the Kryptonian Warriors Union, Zod holds an extremely high status in Krypton and is even one of the most powerful councilors in the Kryptonian Council.

If it were in the normal timeline, then in order to strengthen the influence of the Fighters Guild, they would have continuously strengthened Krypton's external military expansion and eventually carried out an armed coup. Then, after being suppressed by Jor-El's troops, they were imprisoned in the Phantom Zone for more than 200 years along with other core members of the Fighters Guild. In the process, they witnessed the destruction of Krypton with their own eyes, and then invaded the Earth, trying to complete the rebirth of Krypton through the Codex of Creation in the same way as Jor-El is today.

In Superman's stories, General Zod always appears as a villain. Every time he appears, he represents the strong malice of other civilizations in the universe towards the earth. But in many cases, Zod's behavior is not wrong - because under the genetic engineering of Krypton, Zod, as the best warrior, always thinks in the overall interests of Krypton civilization as the first priority, and then thinks in the way of a warrior.

This difference in thinking is comprehensive and is made up of many factors such as society, ethnicity, civilization, growth, and class between Earth and Krypton.

If it were in the past, General Zod would definitely agree with Jor-El's approach - going to Earth, taking back the secret code of the creation of this universe, and creating a new Krypton civilization.

But sometimes, thinking about something doesn't mean you will definitely make the same decision. At least, now, as a reckless warrior, Zod feels the impact of the world's reincarnation on him. Even as a warrior, Zod knows very well that this is not just his own fate, nor the fate of Krypton, but the fate of the entire world.

but now……

Jor-El, once the wisest man in all of Krypton, has gone mad.

"Chief, what should we do?"

On the side, also affected by the world's reincarnation process, Zod's most trusted warrior, closest deputy, and wife in many world views, Ursa, came to Zod's side.

Wearing a Kryptonian battle suit, even when she was on the run, Ursa did not give people the feeling of being weak. On the contrary, she was full of strength from the inside out, and her eyes were full of determination. The will that was beyond words left no doubt that this woman in front of her could ruthlessly annihilate all enemies.

"Jor-El has gone crazy." Zod said, "Even a warrior like me can feel this kind of enlightenment and call from the world itself. As a leader in gene engraving of thinkers, Jor-El should feel it more strongly than me. But now, look at him, how can he have the wisdom and composure that a scholar or thinker should have? He is simply a pure gambler, betting everything on another world, on a child he has never met..."

As he thought about it, a look of determination appeared in Zod's eyes.
