I want to have a date with Superman

Both Maltus and Krypton admire absolute rationality and science, but the political systems of the two civilizations are completely different.

The highest ruling class of Maltus is composed of a group of top scientists.

The smartest scientists with the most scientific research achievements form the "Supreme Science Council", which is responsible for managing the entire civilization.

This system is still studied by many higher civilizations, such as Kelu and Lann. The chief scientist is equivalent to the general.

The Kryptonians use scientific means to divide people into different professions and classes at the genetic level.

Before a Kryptonian is born, his future career and social status are already determined by their parents' genes, social status, and the needs of Kryptonian society for various occupations.

If Krypton needs more civil servants in the next few decades, parents who are already Krypton's civil servants will deliberately select genes corresponding to their professions from their own genes.

After the children they gave birth to grew up successfully, they went directly to hold corresponding positions in government departments.

If parents are not civil servants, they are not even qualified to select civil servant genes for their children.

The sons of civil servants can become farmers, but the sons of farmers cannot have the genes of civil servants.

Of course, Kryptonian society is not without competition.

Efforts the day after tomorrow are also very important, but hard work the day after tomorrow can only determine the achievements and status of Kryptonian children on a fixed track.

Only children with politician genes can compete with children who also have politician genes. Children from farmers are not qualified to enter the track.

There is no point in forcing competition. It is impossible for a Kryptonian with a politician's gene to surpass others in the scientific field. After all, other people's genes are specially used for scientific research, and their innate advantages are too great.

Because of the social system in which genes determine destiny, Kryptonian society is almost divided into classes based on occupation.

Soldiers are one class, and scientists and politicians are each another class.

The best in each profession tend to have very high prestige within the "professional hierarchy."

For example, it is clear that the highest leadership of Krypton belongs to the parliament, but most soldiers are willing to follow General Zod, the military commander of Krypton, to rebel.

Even in Kandor City at this time, the soldiers still miss General Zod very much.

"Captain Ursa, do you still remember what General Zod said when Kandor City was kidnapped by Brainiac?"

Gore, the military commander of Kandor City, was walking on the busiest Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and directly asked his colleagues next to him in Kryptonian.

It has been almost half a month since Kandor City recovered, and the heroes' meeting about the future arrangements of the city in the bottle also ended three days ago. Many Kryptonians can leave Kandor City and freely visit every city in the United States.

Kryptonians originally looked exactly like European and American white people.

If you put on earthly clothes and speak English, pedestrians on the street will not be able to tell the difference between Kryptonians and ordinary citizens.

But when every Kryptonian enters human society, he will deliberately distinguish himself from ordinary earthlings.

At this moment, Commander Gore and Captain Ursa were wearing dark blue Kryptonian military uniforms, with the emblem of the "Kandor City Defense Force" hanging on their chests.

As if they were afraid that the Earthlings would be ignorant, there were laser-engraved English letters below the team logo, indicating their status as Kryptonian soldiers in English.

However, in recent years, the Earth guy has been well-informed and has dealt with too many alien tourists. He didn't make a fuss when he saw a few Kryptonian soldiers, or watched enthusiastically.

At best, when you pass by a Kryptonian, you can glance at their faces and bodies with curious eyes.

Probably also mentally evaluating the difference between a Kryptonian soldier and Superman.

"Sorry, there was a cosmic wall force field between us and General Zod. I didn't hear what he said clearly." Lieutenant Ursa shook his head first, and then asked curiously: "Commander Gore, Zod What was the general saying?"

When Brainiac created the city in a bottle, he didn't do it overnight. He put the cities on the planet into bottles in an instant.

His spaceship first appeared over the city and lowered the "Cosmic Wall Force Field" covering the target area. The force field was indestructible, had no thickness, and was extremely sharp. It could easily cut through even cement floors and crustal rock layers.

The force field cut hundreds of meters into the ground, completely separating the city's foundation from the continental shelf. Then the anti-gravity tractor beam fell on the city and took it away from the ground.

At the same time, a shrinking beam fell down, shrinking the flying city to the size of a pizza, and finally placing it in a bottle.

The entire process from the arrival of Brainiac's spaceship to the city being shrunk and contained in a bottle will last from a few minutes to more than ten minutes.

This gives the planetary civilization an opportunity to resist.

Even the people on Earth sent tanks and fighter jets to fight back when Brainiac poached Metropolis.

Krypton is more civilized and can fight back faster and with greater intensity.

When Brainiac poached the city of Kandor, the entire planet of Krypton was alarmed, and General Zod personally led the army to defend Kandor City.

It's a pity that Brainiac is powerful and the Kryptonians are under the shadow of the red sun.

The Wall of the Universe force field is difficult for even Superman to defeat, and all mass-produced Brainiac robots are equipped with a single force field generator.

Back then, in order to pass through the force field of the wall of the universe, Harley could only use the Mirror Master's "magic mirror power": the person hid in the lens space, used the lens as a dart and inserted it into the robot, and the robot took the person into Bray. Nyak spaceship.

General Zod personally led the team to defend Kandor City, but still failed miserably. He could only watch as Kandor City was poached.

He and his men were blocked from the cosmic wall force field, and they attacked the barrier with all their strength, like a fly shaking a tree, unable to destroy Brainiac's energy shield.

What's even worse is that the Kryptonian Parliament destroyed all the hyperdrive engines, and General Zod was unable to pursue the Brainiac spacecraft.

"Actually, I couldn't hear it clearly. Brainiac's 'Cosmic Wall Force Field' is so strong that it almost cuts off time and space, forming a small world within it.

But I understand lip reading, and I clearly saw Zod say with a determined expression and firm eyes - I will definitely save you, I swear. "

Commander Gore said with a complicated expression: "The Council has dismantled all the hyperdrive engines, and they do not allow us to conduct long-distance interstellar travel.

Without a spaceship that can enter faster-than-light space, how can we track Brainiac's spacecraft and save the city of Kandor that was taken away as a collection?

So General Zod launched a coup. The so-called coup was nothing more than the words of Jor-El's son. "

During General Zod's coup, Kandor City had long been poached by Brainiac, so Gore, Allura and others did not experience that coup.

Now they know about the coup because Dachao told them.

Gore was a little skeptical of Dachao's words, "General Zod later escaped from the Phantom Zone and planned to seize this primitive planet and transform it into New Krypton.

This is a great cause that any Kryptonian would loudly praise and fully support.

Kal-El stopped General Zod.

I was wondering, why would a normal Kryptonian stop General Zod from reviving Kryptonian civilization?

Kal-El is not normal, and what he says cannot be trusted. "

Ursa nodded slightly, "I also think that the son of Jor-El has obvious hostility towards General Zod."

Gore looked at him with a meaningful look and said: "No matter what the truth of the coup is, I am sure that General Zod clashed with the Congress because of us and eventually became a political prisoner.

We should understand that General Zod is not a criminal, he is a Kryptonian hero! "

Ursa vaguely understood what the commander meant, quickly looked around, and lowered his voice and said excitedly: "General Zod and the others are not dead, they were just imprisoned in the Phantom Zone again by Kal Al.

If we go back to the Kryptonian system and open up Phantom Space"

Seeing that the adjutant not only understood his hint, but also expressed his agreement without hesitation, Commander Gore showed a pleased smile on his face, nodded lightly and said: "With the existing technology in Kandor City, it is easy to open the phantom space." loose."

Ursa's expression became even more excited, but his tone was full of anxiety, "Can we convince the Lord of Alura to release General Zod?"

"Let's convince all the soldiers in Kandor City first," Gore said.

"call--"

Without any warning, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of the two of them, causing them to narrow their eyes slightly.

Taking a closer look, a middle-aged man in a black suit and black sunglasses teleported to them.

He was so fast that no pedestrian on the road noticed his arrival.

Just when he stopped suddenly, he brought a gust of wind forward.

The man in sunglasses is not tall, just over 1.7 meters tall. He has an average build, skinny and skinny, and has a passerby face, with no special temperament.

"Hello, Commander Gore, Captain Ursa." The middle-aged man took the initiative to greet them, speaking standard Kryptonian language, and also performed the etiquette of the Kryptonian army.

"You -" Gore looked at him carefully and exclaimed: "Rao, you are the chief scientist of the army, Major Norman!"

The man in a suit and sunglasses nodded with a smile, pointed to the coffee shop on the street, and invited: "The cappuccino in this shop is very good, it should suit your taste."

"Major, why are you here, General Zod?" Gore ignored the human waiter's "Welcome" and only focused his burning eyes on the man in sunglasses.

The man in sunglasses smiled and skillfully dealt with the waiter for a few words, then looked back at the two Kryptonian compatriots and sighed: "I haven't seen General Zod in more than ten years.

After the original invasion of Earth failed, General Zod was sent back to the Phantom Zone by Superman, but I was captured by Harley Quinn.

I gave up my name and identity, transformed into the 'Dark Warrior', and has been hiding in the darkness to serve her.

Her work is actually very leisurely, and she just secretly protects her family.

I don't even need to leave Quinn Manor, I just need to activate the Kryptonian's super hearing and super vision, and I can monitor most of Gotham City.

I also heard someone speaking in Kryptonian before, so I found you two. "

As Black Warrior spoke, Gor and Ursa's expressions changed rapidly.

"You seem very satisfied with your current life?"

The surprise when they first met was gone from Gore's face, and there seemed to be inexplicable anger in his eyes.

——The dignified chief scientist of the Kryptonian military turned out to be someone else's servant in the primitive civilization. The glory of the advanced Kryptonian civilization was lost.

The Black Warrior thought for a while and said honestly: "I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I feel calm and calm. I really feel that my life is quite comfortable now."

"You are General Zod's right-hand man and the chief scientist of the Krypton Defense Force!" Gore clenched his fists and shouted.

Black Warrior lowered his right hand and said softly: "Please keep your voice down in public. Don't think that people on Earth can't understand the Kryptonian language. Gotham is already becoming an interstellar metropolis, and many stores have prepared alien language translators." , can receive alien travelers from various planets in the universe.

Mainstream advanced civilizations in the galaxy, such as Rann, Senagan, and Kolu, have their languages ​​​​in mobile phone translation software.

Over time, Kryptonian language will definitely be added to the alien language translation software.

Then any passerby will be able to understand what you are saying. "

In fact, they are not the only three aliens in this coffee shop.

I heard a few Kryptonians arguing, and the two "octopus heads" by the window were still looking around.

When the waiter brought the coffee, Darth Vader held the cup and continued: "What do you think General Zod's right-hand man and the chief scientist of the Planetary Defense Force should do?

Working hard to revive Kryptonian civilization? rack your brains and use all possible means to rescue General Zod? "

"We, the Kryptonian soldiers, should dedicate everything to the revival of Krypton." Gore said coldly.

"In order to revive Krypton, is it possible to sacrifice everything? Including robbing other civilizations' home planets and killing all life on the planet," Black Warrior asked.

"Do you regret it? Do you regret following General Zod and making all kinds of efforts to revive Krypton?" Gore asked, staring into his eyes.

"I can't talk about regrets, I just feel that we were stupid back then, and I also feel that you are just as stupid now as we were back then. We have always thought that the Kryptonian civilization is very powerful, but we have never seen the true power.

Don't doubt it, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that the entire Kryptonian race is a frog in the well. "

"What did you say?" Gore was angry.

The Black Warrior stared into his eyes and said seriously: "You want to welcome General Zod back and make him the leader of Kandor City. I understand your thoughts.

No matter what General Zod has done, in terms of loyalty to Kryptonian civilization and the people of Krypton, no one can match him.

He was a true patriot who would sacrifice everything for his race.

I will not join you, nor will I stop you. I just make a suggestion to you - first get to know the world again.

Let go of the arrogance and recklessness in your hearts, and read more, listen more, and think more.

After all, I am also a Kryptonian, and I certainly hope that Kryptonians will have a good future. "

"Since you know this world well and think we are arrogant and ignorant, why don't you join us? Become our leader before General Zod is free. When the general returns, you can become his right-hand man again," Gore said.

Darth Vader shook his head slightly, "My career on Krypton has ended long ago. I signed a contract with Harley Quinn. I must serve her wholeheartedly until the end of my life.

Of course, she will not treat me badly when I pass away in the future.

Whether I want to go to the divine kingdom of Rao or enter the Heavenly Mountain, she will help me realize my dream. "

A puzzled look appeared on Ursa's face, "Why did you sign such a contract? Even if Harley Quinn is very well-connected, as long as we are pious enough, can't we enter Rao's country after death?"

The Black Warrior smiled bitterly and said: "In your hearts, what kind of person is Harley Quinn?

A superhero who does good deeds without expecting anything in return? Stop being childish, even Rao is afraid of her when she becomes ruthless.

If I didn't agree to her conditions, she wouldn't have a trace of hesitation on her face when she squeezed me to death. "

"She will kill you?" Gore and Ursa were a little doubtful.

Black Warrior said calmly: "We are all planning to use the planetary transformer to transform the earth into New Krypton.

If it succeeds, billions of people on earth will die.

Do we still expect the people on earth to support us like alien uncles? "

After a pause, he sighed again: "Actually, Kandor City's luck is really good.

If Brainiac were defeated by other people or other civilizations, Kandor City would most likely continue to be sealed in a bottle, continue to exist as a collectible, and continue to be used as a guinea pig for others to study.

If nothing else, think about it, if General Zod had stopped Brainiac and taken away his spaceship, what would the Kryptonians do with the city in a bottle in the cabin?

After what General Zod did to the Earth, the people of Earth were still willing to help save the sleeping city of Kandor. As a result, those of you who were saved still complained with your faces as if why Kal-El wanted to stop General Zod. . "

Gore's face turned red, but he still said stubbornly: "For the revival of Krypton, I can even give up my own life, and my moral integrity can be abandoned at any time."

"Well, whatever you think, I just hope that you can re-understand the world with a humble and peaceful heart. Even if you can't feel the kindness of the people on Earth, you must understand that the people on Earth are far more powerful than Krypton."

After leaving the cafe, Gore and Ursa were in a depressed mood and had no intention of continuing shopping. They jumped up and quickly flew back to Kandor City.

When they first returned to Kandor City, they were still hesitating whether to discuss the release of General Zod with the city lord Allura, but Allura's people came over first.

"Commander Gore, a special guest has come to Kandor City. The Lord of Allura hopes that you will go with her to receive him." The City Lord's secretary said.

"Who's coming?" Gore asked confused.

"You'll know when you get to the City Lord's Mansion." The secretary glanced at Captain Ursa and said mysteriously.

Gore was curious, but did not continue to ask, and immediately followed the secretary to the city lord's mansion.

"You, you are Lex Luthor?" The mysterious guest he saw in the reception room surprised Gore.

"Hello, are you General Gore, the military commander of Kandor City? Nice to meet you!"

Luther was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to leave his seat to shake hands with Gore.

"Luthor, everyone is here. Can you say what you want to say?" Da Chao said coldly.

Gore looked at the city lord Allura in confusion.

Allura didn't speak. Her husband Zoel approached the military commander and whispered in his ear: "When Allura and I met with the Commander-in-Chief of the United States at the White House yesterday, the Commander-in-Chief hinted that Luther wanted to fight with us. cooperate.

This afternoon, when General Lane returned to Kandor City, Luther came with him.

He said that there were major matters related to the future of Krypton that he wanted to discuss with us, and asked Allura to call all the people who were qualified to decide the fate of Kandor City, so that everyone could face each other, speak frankly and clearly. "

"What's going on?" Gore asked curiously.

Zoel's eyes flashed slightly and he didn't elaborate. He just raised his chin towards Luther and said, "Let's listen to what he has to say."

In addition to the city lord Alura, technology director Zoel, and military commander Gore, there were also the council leader of Kandor City and citizen representatives.

After everyone was in their places, Luther took out his mother box and projected the three-dimensional scene of Apokolips in mid-air.

"This is Apokolips, one of the eight divine realms of the multiverse." Luther briefly introduced the situation of Apokolips, and then the scene changed to the scene of the Apokolips slave camp.

"As of today, I have captured three slave camps and liberated a total of 50 million people."

The 3D screen quickly flashed through photos of rescued slaves.

"What did you see?" After playing hundreds of slave camp photos, Luther asked the Kryptonians with a smile.

Allura frowned and said, "Mr. Luther, just say what you want to say. I believe you are not showing us these photos to show off your great achievements and then let us praise you."

"I'm not that boring." Luther shook his head and said meaningfully: "Three slave camps, 50 million people, but more than 1,500 races, but they are all dark gods."

Allura's heart moved, and excitement flashed quickly in her eyes.

Luther smiled slightly and continued: "Among them are the natives of Apokolips, the people of Darkseid, and there are also prisoners captured by demonoids from the material universe.

Demonoids generally do not take prisoners.

When they capture a material planet, they will kill most ordinary people.

But before killing, the demonoids will first check the genes of the captives. The powerful warriors are captured in the demonoid factory and transformed into demonoids. The most talented ones are taken to Apokolips and imprisoned in slave camps.

Whether they are indigenous people or talented people from the material universe, they are all recognized by the origin of Apokolips.

As long as you awaken your divinity, you can obtain the godhead and become the true new god of darkness.

The tens of millions of dark gods killed by Harley all came from this.

A large part of the reason why I rushed to capture the slave camp was to prevent the dark elite from selecting new dark gods who had awakened their divine power from the slave camp.

The new gods are different from the old gods. The new gods assume important responsibilities in the multiverse, just like civil servants in human society.

If the mayor dies, the city will immediately elect a new mayor.

The last batch of new dark gods with dark godheads were slaughtered by Harley. Immediately, tens of millions of humans obtained godheads and took their place.

Greer used the power of Zanza to deprive millions of human new gods of their godhood, and destiny would soon select millions of new dark gods. "

Luther glanced at Allura, Gore and others with radiant eyes, and said excitedly: "Everyone, millions of gods are destined to be born on Apokolips!"

Alura was already in a state of excitement, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "What does this have to do with us?"

"The divinities and responsibilities of the gods are different. I am destined to become the god of mechas and technology. The god of mechas and technology is just one of the gods. It is impossible that the vocations of millions of Apocalypse gods are all related to mechas and technology. Technology related.

The throne of millions of dark gods is a huge cake, and it is destined not to be swallowed by me alone.

Since I have to share the cake with others, of course I am more willing to share the cake with allies who are trustworthy and have no divine conflict with me. "

Luther looked at each of the leaders of Kandor City with passionate eyes, and his intention to invite them to form an alliance was self-evident.

Seeing the excited expressions of all the Kryptonians, Dachao stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, I want to remind you of two things.

First of all, becoming a new protoss is not as wonderful as you think.

The New God of Darkness is affected by the original will of Apokolips and cannot resist his own dark divinity.

Human nature is forcibly distorted by divinity and cannot help itself. It must obey the orders of the divine king.

Even human nature has been distorted, lost, and no longer oneself. Even if one gains the power of a god, what's the point?

Do we Kryptonians still lack that strength?

Secondly, Lex Luthor cannot be trusted. "

Dachao pointed at Luther and said with a serious expression: "This man is the most evil, shameless, and vicious super villain on earth.

Anyone who knows common sense in the magical world knows that the devil's words cannot be trusted.

Luther is more evil than evil. "

Luther shrugged, "Whether what I just said is true or false, even if you can't judge now, you can find others to verify it.

Today is different from the past. New and mysterious news that was once unknown to ordinary people has now become common knowledge."

Allura hesitated and said: "Mr. Luther, I'm grateful for your invitation, but Kandor City has just been unblocked, and we don't know the details of Apokolips yet—"

Gore interrupted her and said excitedly: "Mr. Luther is an expert on Apokolips. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

As he said that, he turned to Luthor with expectant eyes: "Now that the collective ascension is over, do we Kryptonians still have a chance to become the Dark Gods? I mean that all Kryptonians, only a few Kryptonian elites are meaningless."

"What I'm talking about is collective ascension." Luther opened the three-dimensional image of the slave camp again. "Look at them. There are more than 10 million people in just one camp. Your city of Kandor only has a population of more than 7 million, and you don't even have a slave camp." I’m pretending to be dissatisfied, I’m sorry, what I mean is that if you form an alliance with me, you will only liberate slaves, not become slaves.”

Gore's eyes became brighter and his voice became more urgent, "Many people in Kandor City are not good at fighting. Can they also become gods?"

Luther said: "Remember what I said before, gods have different divinities and vocations. Not only warriors can become gods."

"What is the approximate chance that each Kryptonian will obtain godhood——"

"That's enough!" Allura shouted, interrupting Gore's inquiry, and raised her hand to stop Luther from continuing to speak. She said firmly: "That's it for today, Mr. Luther, we will talk another day."

"You can think about it slowly. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time." Luther left his contact information with a smile and left Kandor City casually.

Metropolis, Pentagon, a small conference room surrounded by a counterfeit universe wall force field.

"What should I do if the Kryptonians don't take the bait? Even Allura may be a little tempted, but she is also very cautious." The defense minister looked anxious. "Although our mecha army is powerful, the real dark elite has not yet When I took action, I had only encountered clones before, and the number was still very small.

Without new forces joining, the 'Freedom and Hope Mecha Legion' will encounter setbacks sooner or later. "

"You are thinking too much. The situation is obviously very good now. Luther leads well, the mecha warriors are brave and good at fighting, and there are tens of millions of slave camp troops joining us. Even without Kryptonians, we can still occupy half of Apokolips. "The commander-in-chief said optimistically.

"Alas, I asked Sam Lane (Dad Louise) to go to Quinn Manor to find out what Harley said. She was very disapproving of Luther's consecutive victories." The defense chief sighed.

Luther smiled slightly, "Harley has always disapproved of collective ascension. No matter what the real situation is, she will look down on our actions."

"You mean, we will eventually win without the Kryptonians?" the defense chief asked.

Luther shook his head and said: "I am confident but not arrogant. The dark elites were all clones before and they did not join forces, so it was relatively easy to deal with them.

When they suffer enough, they will definitely unite, and maybe their true form will come, and then we will be in a hard fight.

If seven million Kryptonians join, even if they are just cannon fodder, we can ensure that we advance and retreat in a controlled manner and win without defeat. "

"You want to recruit Kryptonians to be cannon fodder, and Kryptonians are not stupid. The key is that if you have a bad reputation, they will probably not be able to manage your finances." Lincoln, the second boss, sighed.

Luther showed a weird smile on his face and said: "The Kryptonians in Kandor City are not of the same mind, and someone is already tempted."

Lincoln thought about Gore, who had spoken many times in previous talks, and asked, "You mean the military commander of Kandor City?"

Luther nodded with a smile and said, "He is our breakthrough."

The commander shook his head and said: "You are mistaken. The system of the Kryptonians is different from ours. They are in charge of whatever profession they have. Military commanders only care about war and do not have much political power, or even no power at all."

"Haha, this is true under normal circumstances, but Kryptonian soldiers sometimes rebel." Luther said with a sly smile.

Everyone shook their heads and said: "In the entire history of Krypton, it seems that only General Zod has rebelled. Gore definitely does not have the ability and courage."

"Then help Gore rescue General Zod first."
