Chapter 299 Invincible Young Hero, a Superhero Who Takes the Hit Without Fighting
The mere mention of the so-called "perfect creature" sent a chill down Kara's spine.
Every ban has its reason for existing. Perhaps there is still room for discussion and negotiation regarding the space ban that Joe Al broke, but genetic technology is simply heading towards an abyss of destruction from which there is no turning back.
Doesn't the catastrophe brought to Kryptonian society by the nearly thousand-year-long clone war in history provide enough lessons for Jor-El now?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Unlike Kara's "conservatism," Fiora thought that anyone who could join "Raoh's Sword" would at least have some brains.
"What will truly lead Kryptonians to their destruction is their arrogance and complacency."
This is why she always disliked all the El family members except Jor El – these family members, whose existence is almost as long as the history of Kryptonians, rarely knew how to be flexible.
Fiora's armor popped out a core containing a miniature AI and began constructing a portal back to the universe. This universe must be extremely far from their Kryptonian universe, so much so that the time required for exchanging information or teleporting would increase exponentially.
However, it was all worth it. Fiora had met Kal-El before and witnessed the tenacity and decisiveness in his eyes. Through this window to the soul, she could see that he was a new generation of Kryptonians who had not been tainted by the old rules and regulations of the El family.
Now, all they have to do is, as they anticipated before setting out, take Jor-El's son out of this wild universe and back to his true home, so that he can safely complete his final evolution in a controlled environment.
Seeing Fiora's actions, Kara shook Karl in her arms vigorously, trying to wake him up, but unfortunately, Joey, who had inhaled the drug earlier, was sleeping soundly and peacefully, showing no intention of opening his eyes at all.
Kara, who had initially been eager to bring Kal'El back to Krypton upon their meeting, had long since abandoned that idea.
When she said she was taking him back to Kelvin, she meant back to Kelvin society, not to Jor-El, who would experiment on his own son. "No, Kel-El isn't going anywhere!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fiora's massive fist had already slammed into Kara's visor in the next millisecond.
The immense force sent Kara flying backward and wedging her into the ground. The bio-force field cushioned the impact, distributing it evenly and triggering an unusual small earthquake across the entire tectonic plate.
"Very good!"
Fiora, who had been suppressing his true feelings and was itching to make a move, shoved Kara away from Karl El with a punch that he had been holding back for a long time.
Finally, she no longer had to tolerate Kara's stupidity and had the perfect motive to strike:
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that!"
In Fiora's eyes, if it weren't for Jor El, a significant portion of the El family should be living among those old fogies in the High Council.
Of course, Kara wasn't that stupid. At least the other party still cared about Jor-El's son. Whether she admitted it or not, she had already made an unparalleled contribution.
Kara, emerging from the rock, flew swiftly toward Joey's location. Even after losing Kara's support, Joey did not fall to the ground. Even in his unconscious sleep, his bio-field continued to resist gravity, keeping him steadily suspended above the ground.
Kara's metal suit extracted some material immediately upon touching the ground to repair the faceplate that Fiora had just punched.
Kara thought she was crazy enough after lying low on Earth for twenty years, but she didn't expect Fiora to be even more swift, accurate and ruthless when she took action. The nickname "Cold-faced Tiger" that was rumored in the army was really well-deserved.
But no matter what, Kara absolutely will not allow this Kryptonian madwoman to take him away before Kal'El awakens!
This is something that Karl El himself should decide. Karl believes that, in any case, the first thing he would want to see when he wakes up is definitely not Joe El's old face.
The two Kryptonian female warriors' fists collided, creating another crater in the already ravaged Earth.
Below the pit, the two locked eyes. The energy released from their colliding thermal vision caused the rocks, which had cooled for hundreds of millions of years during crustal movements, to revert to a molten state.
Another earth-shattering sound followed, and the aftershocks of the struggle between the two Kryptonians caused a lava fountain, resembling a volcanic eruption, to erupt from what was originally a forest.
Such a commotion had already attracted the attention of some people.
For example, Mark Grayson, also known as the Invincible Young Man, who was recently discharged from the hospital.
The previous battle with Conqueror had left Mark severely injured, and today was his first day back at work in his new uniform.
After wandering the globe for a short time, Mark's keen senses picked up the earth-shattering sound from the other side of the world. He picked up the phone and dialed the Global Defense Agency hotline:
"What's going on over there, robot?"
"A fight broke out."
Since the conflict between Invincible Young Hero and Director Cisel, the robot, which has gradually taken over more authority, is now responsible for communication and logistics coordination with Mark and other members of the Global Guard.
He had absolutely no idea how to properly inform Mark about this, as the Global Defense Agency already knew about it when Kara met up with the other two Kryptonians.
Both the robot and Cecil suggested that they simply play dead and hope that the Kryptonians would leave on their own.
After all, they did get the Superman they wanted on this trip.
If that dangerous figure named Fiora wasn't lying, they have no reason to continue wasting their time in this universe.
Unexpectedly, these three Kryptonians started fighting each other, and the battle between the two Voidlings was enough to destroy a large urban area.
Even if the two Kryptonians were holding back, the commotion they caused couldn't possibly go unnoticed by Mark.
Just like now, faced with the Invincible Young Hero's questions, even if the Global Defense Bureau wanted to play dead, it would be difficult.
"Such a large-scale fight, are they the Witrum people?"
The robot's silence had already explained everything to the invincible young hero.
"It's those Kryptonians, isn't it?"
Even Mark, who was never particularly bright, could figure out what kind of being could possibly contend with those two Kryptonians with their ridiculously high energy levels to such an extent.
"Is Superman back? Is he fighting those Kryptonian pursuers?"
Having given up hope of getting answers from the robot, Mark drifted along the edge of the atmosphere toward the direction of the fight.
The robot was terrified after it captured Mark's flight path via satellite:
"Mark, don't go over there! The situation is far more complicated than you think!"
"No!"
But the invincible young hero ignored his warning and insisted on going to find out for himself:
"Superman is all alone, and the Kryptonians outnumber him. I have to go help him!"
At this moment, the robot somewhat understood why Director Cecil was so strict with Mark, who was still a teenager.
"Superman doesn't need help. He's lost consciousness. The one fighting the remaining Kryptonians now is the white-haired Kryptonian who helped us before."
"Then I absolutely have to go! We can't let them take Superman away!"
The Invincible Young Hero's answer was exactly what the robot expected, but it didn't stop its blood pressure from rising: "Why can't you be a little more rational, Mark?"
Before acquiring his current young body, the robot spent his entire life in a culture chamber filled with life-sustaining fluid, sensing the outside world through circuits and metal, and was completely unable to understand what drove Mark's every reckless decision.
From the robot's perspective, including the unconscious Superman, the four Hydrogen aliens on the scene have split into at least three different camps. They have no intention of attacking Earth, so why should our side, with mortal bodies, rashly intervene in this battle between gods that we know nothing about?
Mark is just making things difficult for himself, taking unnecessary beatings, and courting death.
What kind of person would place such youthful impetuosity above their own life and the safety of the entire planet?
"Please, Rudy, can't you at least act like a human being?!"
Just as the robot was trying to persuade Mark to stay rational, the beast girl behind him lightly slapped him on the back of the head, clearly annoyed by the robot's action.
"Superman helped Mark save his family, helped us deal with Doctor Seismograph, the prison out of control, and several evil versions of Invincible Young Hero, and even saved Lex Luthor, that menace. Now he's about to be kidnapped by Kryptonians. Are we just going to stand by and watch him die?"
Standing behind her were the rest of the Global Guardians: Immortal, Doppelganger Kate, Martian Shapeshifter Smith, Darkwing II, and Tech Jacket and Werewolf, who were temporarily staying at the base.
The robots could list many reasons to explain why they shouldn't get involved in this suicidal Kryptonian conflict. For example, Superman is, after all, of the same race as those Kryptonians, and is likely of noble status. If he were captured, he would most likely not be punished.
Or perhaps the Kryptonians' power is just how formidable they are. Omnipotent could easily kill all the members of the previous Guardians of the World, let alone these Kryptonians who are far stronger than the Voidlings.
Based on Superman's previous performance of melting through the moon, they really could kill everyone on the robot side with just a glance—in a physical sense.
Not to mention the catastrophic consequences if these Kryptonians were to take their anger out on others on Earth.
But when faced with the beast girl with her lips pursed, the robot Rudy remembered why he had cloned himself to obtain this young body. It wasn't just to break free from the life support pod and electronic cables, but also to have a suitable form to pursue the girl in front of him.
He agreed against his will, deciding to join them in this operation with a mortality rate exceeding one thousand percent:
"Okay, I'll handle Cecil."
