The so-called central treasure book.When Clark and Merlin discover the Kryptonian spaceship that has crashed into Earth's Antarctic glaciers, they learn the meaning of this particular item.As General Zod just said, and as recorded in the civilization log that Clark saw in the Lonely Fortress, the originally powerful Kryptonian world was like a pool of stagnant water at the end of civilization.The Supreme Council plans the future of each Kryptonian through genetic engineering, confirms their place in the social system, and treats the entire civilization as a large, manipulable module, where everyone is a screw in the module.It's a wonderful-looking form.As long as everyone fulfills his or her duty, the flame of civilization will never be extinguished.But it only looks good.When it is actually implemented, there will be all kinds of problems, and this kind of genetic planning once did allow the Kryptonian civilization to rush into the stars, but after the peak, it was a rapid and crumbling fall.A civilization that has everything planned has no vitality to speak of, and the whole society is in the twilight, and there is no hope for the future in the mechanical operation of day after day.And once the entire race loses hope, it means that the end of this civilization is near.The Supreme Council was aware of this problem, and they stopped their blind expansion and recalled all Kryptonians to their home planet, intending to spend generations fixing the mistake.But they overestimated the carrying capacity of the parent star, and only a short time later, Krypton entered a phase of rapid collapse.At this time, the Kryptonian civilization, which had missed the best time to remedy, was powerless to return to the sky.And as General Zod said, when civilization enters the end of the period, there are always people who are unwilling to go extinct to stand up and try to save everything.
Al is one of those rescuers.But they have embarked on different paths for the same purpose, but they have come to the same end.Their tool to save the Kryptonian civilization is this mysterious central treasure book.The Nexus is a special "database" used by the Kryptonian Supreme Council to plan the life of each Kryptonite, which contains all genetic samples since the birth of Kryptonians.Theoretically, as long as this thing is there, combined with the Kryptonians' unique genetic cultivation technology, that is, the half-machine, half-flesh "tree" in the Fortress of Solitude spaceship, which has completely died.With the cooperation of the two, the Kryptonian people are constantly re-cultivated in terms of energy.This was General Zod's plan.He rebelled against the Supreme Council and wanted to escape from the hopeless Krypton planet with the Central Treasure Book, find a world with a good environment, and rebuild civilization.And General Zod's good friend, the Kryptonian scientist Joe.
Al's approach is at the other extreme altogether.He believes that the culprit that led to the destruction of Krypton is the runaway gene modulation project, and if you want to save the Kryptonian civilization, you must guide the people to abandon the behavior of genetically cultivating the next generation of people, and return to the concept of reproduction in the primitive period.He didn't just think so, he did it.He and his wife, Laura, concealed from everyone and engaged in primitive sexual acts, in order to conceive a naturally born Kryptonian life through the most natural laws of reproduction.This kind of behavior was simply deviant in the Kryptonian society at that time, and it was definitely immoral, anyway, it was difficult for backward earthlings who were addicted to GHS to understand.In short, Joe's big adventure succeeded.Laura really gave birth to a naturally born life, which is now Clark.But it was too late, the environment of the Kryptonian world was deteriorating faster than anyone had predicted, and by the time Clark was born, the world was on the verge of collapse.Joe could only put his son in the prepared escape bin and send him away from Krypton.An enraged Zod also stormed Joe's lab at that time, and a pair of good brothers got into a fight, and during the engagement, Zod accidentally killed Joe, an accident that caused Clarke's escape bin to fly out of Krypton.That happened a long time ago, but the aftermath of that continues to this day."
Give me the Nexus Treasure!
Clarke. ”Under Thor's silent gaze, General Zod said to Clark in an inviolable tone, "I will take it to the stars to find a suitable planet to reshape Krypton and rebuild our civilization."
You don't need to live with a heavy fate anymore, I'll take it. ”"You're going to get free, Earthlings Clark.
Kent. ”When Zod said this, his heart was full of disappointment.He could feel that his nephew in front of him did not have a real Kryptonian soul in his body, and Clark had lived on Earth since he was a child, with his own parents and life experiences.He did witness the death of his biological father, but it was difficult for him to truly empathize, and he lacked the anger he deserved about it.The connection of blood is not a panacea.Zod hopes that Clark can jump up angrily at this time, because of Joe's death and a fight with him, which at least proves that in Clark's heart, Joe is indeed a father.But Clark's cold performance made him feel disappointed, which was a very contradictory emotion.The kid in front of him has a sense of alienation from everything about Krypton, he remembers his identity as a Kryptonite, but that's all, he has been completely brainwashed by the culture of earthlings.But...
It's not his fault.If it had been in the past, with General Zod's temper, he would have pinned Clark to the ground and beaten him violently.But he's been through a lot over the years.Released from the ghost space by collectors, it was used as a collector's item, and it was sent to the gladiatorial arena of Saka as gladiators, and only 16 of the original 30 compatriots remained.All this made General Zod completely calm down, he was indeed very angry, and he would definitely go to the collector and Gao Tianzun for revenge in the future, but this could not be done by relying on him and his soldiers.He needs to rebuild Krypton and assemble a powerful, all-sweeping legion to avenge the dead warriors.And the best thing is that in this new world, he has found a way to make the Kryptonian strong, the yellow sun is simply a gift from the gods, under the light of the sun, the potential in the Kryptonian body will be greatly explored.Every Kryptonian can become the best and strongest warrior.But this is all premised, Clark must give him the Nexus Treasure."
Nope."
Clark replied calmly, "When I arrived on Earth, I didn't have anything with me called the Nexus Treasure. ”"Lie!"
The female adjutant behind Zod held the dinner knife, and she said indifferently, "I saw it with my own eyes...
Joe put that thing in your escape bay!
Hand it over, traitor!
”The word "traitor" pricked Clark's nerves.He looked back, and the Kryptonians around him were all staring at him with the same indifference.It's as if he doesn't give it to Joe.
Al's revenge means that he has betrayed the civilization of Krypton and become a man who has turned his back on his people.Refusing to hand over the Central Treasure Book is seen as a terrible sin."
Enough!
Fiora. ”General Zod raised his hand, and he said to the adjutant and the fighters behind him: "Get out!"
This is a matter between me and my nephew, and I assure you that it will have a happy ending. ”"General!"
The adjutant named Fiora looked at Clark with an enemy-like gaze, and she seemed to be afraid that Clark would do something dangerous here, and her duties as an adjutant made her reluctant to leave just like that.She can also draw strength from the sun, and has been pushing her limits to become stronger lately.But Clark has been living in this world for so many years, and his strength will only get stronger."
Get out!"
Zod's tone accentuated.The general shouted: "I am talking to a compatriot, he is the son of my best friend, do you think he will assassinate me?"
Absurd!
”"There are so many Kryptonians left, we should unite, and not aim our weapons at our own compatriots!""
This is the land of Asgard!"
Thor also spoke: "Both of you are my friends, and I promise as Prince of Asgard that no one will be harmed here!"
”Before Thor could speak, under the watchful eye of General Zod, Adjutant Fiora gritted her teeth and put down the knife in her hand and left the hall with the other warriors.As she left, she unceremoniously raised her finger and said to Clark, "I'll keep an eye on you, boy!"
”"You have to be respectful of the general.He may not need your respect, but you must!
”After saying that, the tall lady stepped on her high heels and walked out.There were only three people left in the hall: Clark, Zod, and Thor.But the atmosphere did not become any more relaxed."
I didn't lie to you."
Clark said earnestly, "In the escape chamber where I fell into Earth, there was nothing called a central treasure. ”"I believe in you."
Zod looked at Clark and said, "Maybe it's not, but it's there, it's in your body, in every drop of your blood, in every cell...
I know Joe, he's cunning, he lied to me at the time, maybe he's ruined the Nexus Treasure. ”"But he also wants the Kryptonian civilization to continue, in his way.""
You are the first child born naturally at the end of the Kryptonian civilization, Clark, your birth does prove that we can continue life in another way, but have you ever considered a question?"
General Zod whispered: "Joe and Laura, like me, are the products of genetic modulation, our genes are defective, even if he and Laura did give birth to you, it doesn't mean that your genes are complete...
Do you understand?
”"I need the Nexus Atlas, and to solve the genetic problem of Kryptonians, I need some researchers, and the Nexus Atlas can cultivate the researchers we need.""
We're going to have a period of civilizational recovery, and after that, we're going to work on it."
He looked at Clark and said, "This is also a problem that is closely related to you, if your genes are incomplete and defective, it means that your life on Earth will also leave risks." ”"Help us and help yourself.""
Not really!"
Clark shook his head stubbornly, and said, "Joe has solved this problem, Zod, my genes are intact."
Actually, my wife is pregnant, and in 3 months, you will be able to see the birth of the first child of mixed Earth and Krypton. ”"This is the way Joe chose to continue the Kryptonian civilization, not through war, not through conquest, Zod, integrate into the new civilization, and then merge the Kryptonian civilization with the new civilization.""
I don't know if my genes are intact because I was born naturally, or if it's because the Central Treasure Book repaired my genetic damage.""
But one thing I'm sure of is that Joe would never want you to go back to the old ways of Kryptonian civilization."
Clark dissuaded, he whispered, "That has been proven to be the wrong way, Zod, you can't do the right thing in the wrong way, the harder you try, the more stubborn you are, the more wrong you are!"
”General Zod, who had been able to maintain his sanity just now, immediately became subtle when he heard that Clark had a child.He was silent for a few seconds before he said to Clark, "I guess your wife shouldn't be a Kryptonian, right?"

”"How?"
Clark sensed Zod's malice, and his tone became unkind, and he asked rhetorically, "Are you still a narrow-minded racist?"
”"I just think that noble bloodlines should remain pure."
Zod moved his neck and made a clicking sound, and he looked at Clark, the light in his eyes completely cold.He said to Clark, "Your baby will be born in 3 months, right?"
Then I'll give you 3 months!
”Three months later, Clarke.
Kent, you must give me the Nexus Treasure, I was born to protect my people, that is my innate mission, a mission that cannot be turned away!
”"It's a pity, I don't have people anymore..."
General Zod sighed, the undisguised loss and pain made Thor who was standing aside feel some empathy.He could understand Zod's stubbornness, because not so long ago, he had almost lost his country and its people.As a warrior guarding his homeland, this kind of disaster of watching what he swore to defend crumble in front of his eyes, but he can't do anything about it, is definitely a cruel torture, the kind that can make people crazy.But Zod didn't need mercy, he wasn't crushed by despair.He found a new purpose for himself to keep going."
Rebuilding Krypton, regaining my people, is the only point of being alive now."
Zod took a deep breath and said to Clark, "No matter what you say, even if it's a false future, I'm going to make it happen with my own hands!"
”"Why are you so stubborn!"
Clark was also a little out of control, facing this stubborn elder, he clenched his fists and shouted, "You have seen that cruel history with your own eyes, but you still have to choose to repeat the mistakes of the past?"
Krypton shouldn't have been rebuilt in such a doomed form, and I'm willing to help you!
But it's not like that...""
It's useless to talk too much!"
Zod didn't want to argue with Clark anymore.He turned around as a soldier and walked out of the hall, and without looking back, he said, "After three months, you can choose to cooperate or you can choose to fight." ”"If you want to prove yourself right...
Then use your fists to convince me!"
