Days as a Spiritual Mentor in American Comics-Chapter 4489: Modified - 3573 The Man from Krypton (Part Three)

Chapter 4489 - Modified: Chapter 3573 The Man from Krypton (Part Three)

Hai'er is also a Kryptonian. Moreover, he is a Superman of Krypton.

It means he is the Superman among Supermen. In a group of Supermen, he is the strongest, and can be said to completely crush other Supermen; he is the superpower user among Supermen.

But actually, he is a clone created by the Kryptonians.

Some may find it strange; given the Kryptonian method of reproduction, isn't everyone a clone?

Actually, that's not the case. Although gene editing is possible, every Kryptonian's genes are different. It's illegal to steal someone else's genes.

For example, if you are a lower-class person and you steal the Great General's genes, injecting them into your child to give them the same martial power as the Great General. If trouble arises, is it possible for the council to sit back and do nothing?

So, since this reproductive method started, offspring born by stealing others' genes have been called clones.

Hai'er is such a clone. However, he is not just cloned from one person — his body gathers all the strongest genes of the Kryptonians. Whether it's scientists, generals, or political leaders, all the best genes are used in his body.

These genes produced some chemical reactions, resulting in the birth of the strongest individual in Kryptonian history.

Of course, he doesn't know he's a clone, and he hates clones deeply, believing they are thieves of genes.

In the comics, his identity varies, but he is always deeply connected with Joe El, who is the biological father of Clark. He is either his friend or his adopted son.

And he also loves his homeland Krypton deeply. In the comics, he narrowly escaped Krypton's destruction due to some coincidences. After discovering his homeland was destroyed, he has been committed to rebuilding Krypton.

However, his method of rebuilding Krypton differs slightly from Zod's: Zod wants to restore Krypton's population, while Hai'er wants to restore Krypton's energy.

As mentioned earlier, the conditions of the planet Krypton itself were not very good. Energy wasn't abundant, and it was monopolized by the upper class. Moreover, their unrestricted mining led to the planet itself being on the verge of collapse.

Zod's method is to repopulate Kryptonians and control the population, while Hai'er's method is to plunder energy.

Actually, this is a technology Krypton had before its destruction, which involved devouring stars from other star systems to replenish its own energy. But since the technology wasn't mature at the time, and the distribution of stars in the universe wasn't that dense, the technology was temporarily shelved.

Hai'er perhaps believes that as long as the energy is restarted, Krypton can be revived, so he set his sights on the Sun of the Solar System. In the comics, this caused conflict with the Justice League.

Unsurprisingly, this time he has also set his sights on the Sun. Destroying Mercury might be because Mercury was in the way.

Although it sounds ridiculous, if you're strong enough, you can do whatever you want. Hai'er likely found Mercury annoying when setting up the star-devouring devices, so he punched Mercury and blew it up.

When this conclusion was reported to the Justice League, everyone was speechless.

But at the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief — thankfully, they had long considered the possibility that the star in their star system might be targeted, so they had made many security measures for the Sun. This reckless guy can't succeed so easily.

Oliver immediately contacted Bruce and said, "There's trouble with the Sun; he might go to check on it. You must avoid encountering him head-on. Absolutely no fighting! Do you hear me, Bruce?!"

Bruce sighed and reluctantly agreed.

Of course, he knew what Oliver meant. This guy is too strong. If Bruce fought him head-on, especially near the Sun, the aftermath of their fight could blow up the Sun, and humanity would be doomed.

So, although Bruce really wanted to meet this guy, he could only choose to hide.

Bruce's ability to fight head-on is not strong. His angel identity has position but no power, and he only has one skill, which is to summon the Holy Light to take him back to Heaven. It's good for escape, but hard to use for fighting.

He has a lot of Barbados' dark energy, which can be used for fighting, but it is incompatible with his angel identity. He can't use dark energy when he is in angel form.

And if he only uses dark energy, his defense capability is insufficient; he won't be able to escape readily and could easily be killed.

In the past, when he won fights using this identity, it was purely through positional oppressions or because the opponent didn't understand what an angel was and couldn't resist the dark energy.

This time is different; this time it is a tough guy coming. Hai'er is quite powerful.

The superpowers of Kryptonians he possesses are all enhanced versions, with sheer data being several times that of Superman, and he also has psychic abilities, can read and alter others' memories, can freely control time and space, and can project his own celestial body.

The most absurd part is that he can exist at different points in time simultaneously, like Doctor Manhattan. This basically places him at the top of the DC Comics power hierarchy.

For him, blowing up Mercury is as easy as snapping his fingers — just like flicking a speck of dust off the table.

Even if Bruce could use Barbados' dark energy in his angel form, he would not have much of a chance against him. The only possibility might be to open the dark gate and let Barbados come and deal with him personally.

But the problem is that Barbados can't come out now. So, unless we can lure him to Barbados's territory, the chances of winning are still slim. Of course, Hai'er can't kill Bruce either. No matter how strong he is, it's impossible to break into Heaven.

And Bruce wants to meet Hai'er, not to clash head-on. Since this guy is rational, we can talk. There are plenty of stars in the cosmos, why trouble the Sun specifically?

However, Oliver insisted, so Bruce decided to hide and observe first. First, see if this guy has any way to deal with the dark energy shield. If he doesn't, then they would have negotiating leverage.

Not only Bruce is paying attention to the Sun's situation, but Hal and Barry, who possess quick retreat abilities, are also patrolling near the Sun, searching for Hai'er's presence.

At this moment, Injustice Batman approached Oliver. He said, "If the opponent shows up, what do you plan to do?"

"We want to talk to him," Oliver said. "The opponent is also an intelligent life form, communication is naturally possible. Communication is the foundation of everything."

Injustice Batman narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your Justice League in this universe is very powerful, much stronger than ours."

"Do you think we should use force?"

"He destroyed your most advanced base."

"Precisely because of this, we need to talk to him," Oliver said. "In the cosmos, it's survival of the fittest. His strength is undeniable. He has caused us damage, and if we can gain enough advantageous conditions, we will make him pay a price. But right now, that's not possible."

"As long as we fight within the Solar System, the loss will be Earth's. Choosing a peaceful resolution is to better preserve Earth's assets. If we charge in directly and break the Sun or other planets, won't Earth be the one to suffer?"

Oliver sighed and said, "When you are weak, no matter how fiercely you act, it's just impotent rage. It's better to stay calm and choose a way that benefits you more to solve the problem."

"What if he doesn't cooperate?"

"We are not keen on war, but we are not afraid of fighting," Oliver said lightly tapping the table. "If he resolutely refuses to cooperate and causes unacceptable losses, then we must fight."

"So now you don't plan to confront him head-on because you think the probability of his cooperation is higher?"

"Yes, if he is indeed targeting the Sun, then we are fully confident in persuading him. Moreover, if all the Kryptonians on Earth come forward and let him see the hope of reviving Krypton through cooperation with humans, he should choose to cooperate."

"Yes, that assumes—he is rational, more accurately, he must be rational."

Oliver frowned and looked at Injustice Batman, "What are you trying to say?"

"Have you ever thought about why, out of so many stars in the cosmos, he fixates on the Sun?"

Oliver remained silent, because he didn't actually know why. Logically speaking, there are plenty of stars near Krypton. Even if some do not meet the standards, the remaining ones should suffice. So why make such a long trip to the Sun?

"You think he is being directed by someone?"

"Think about it, a wanderer deeply in love with his homeland returns to find his species extinct and his homeland a dead land. He would feel very angry, right?"

Oliver nodded.

"Angry people are easily manipulated," Injustice Batman silently glanced at Injustice Superman and said, "I believe you can see too, the destruction of Krypton is not that simple. Even if the council brought it upon themselves, someone must have been pushing from behind. If there was an evil force always lurking within Krypton, could it be manipulating Hai'er too?"

Oliver fell into contemplation, he understood what Injustice Batman meant.

The story Hal brought back about Krypton's destruction sounded reasonable: the council oppressed the people, the people rose up in rebellion, and eventually, a victim seized the opportunity to drag everyone to death together. The logic seemed coherent.

But there were actually some loopholes. For example, under such strict class oppression, how did that worker achieve all this?

Not to mention, the most critical genetic coding facility should be out of his reach, right?

Even professional scientists like Joe El cared greatly about the Central Treasure, proving that their genetic coding was very complex and needed to be recorded accurately. How could an ordinary worker manipulate the codes?

Of course, Oliver had suspicions, but with Krypton already destroyed, pursuing these details seemed meaningless.

But Injustice Batman's words indeed connected everything.

If the destruction of Krypton was not an accident but someone behind the scenes manipulating everything, then Hai'er appearing in the Solar System after returning to Krypton is definitely not a coincidence. This proves the manipulator might also be targeting Earth.

Oliver pondered for a moment, then looked at Injustice Batman and said, "You're right, this matter is not that simple. To find out who's behind this, we must go to Krypton."
