American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 382: Joe-El

"Oh? I found the target!"

Bruce, who was hovering in the tunnel above Downton and Clark and repairing the tunnel, noticed the situation below, so he landed next to Downton and the other man.

Lex followed closely behind, looking expectantly at the frozen soil that Clark had lifted up.

At this moment, Clark's hands were placed on a piece of black metal that could be described as colorful.

Stroking the hull of the spacecraft, Clark felt it for a while, then let out a long breath.

Under the influence of alcohol, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to everyone with a smile.

"I just felt it. Although some of the machines in the spacecraft are still functioning, there are no members of my tribe inside.

It was a tough feeling, since I was alone, but I was relieved.”

After he finished speaking, Clark stood up and continued to dig the frozen soil around the spacecraft.

As he dug, he continued speaking with melancholy.

“You all know my abilities. Although I can’t fly, I don’t have any special superpowers other than my stronger senses and strength.

But... I'm actually quite strong, right? I don't think even an army can defeat me easily.

As for my people, they shouldn’t be weaker than me. After all, I haven’t even trained much on Earth.

As you can probably guess, I'm really worried that my people are a group of... Saiyan-like guys.

I don't know if you have read the comics, but as a race that possesses power like mine, I don't think they can be very kind, because they are already quite powerful weapons in themselves!
so……"

Clark said as he let out a long breath.

“So I’m really worried that after we find the spaceship, we’ll see an army composed of my people.

I am more worried that they will take me with them to rule the earth, or do something else that will harm the entire world.

And now, although there is a high probability that I still won’t be able to find my people, at least I don’t have to stand between them and the Earth.

I have had nightmares like this many times, and it is not a pleasant feeling to wake up from such a dream, ah..."

Clark shook his head sadly, then lifted up more frozen soil, causing the ice sheets and continents in the surrounding areas to shake.

Looking at Clark who was speaking his true feelings under the influence of alcohol, Lex was slightly stunned, and then he laughed.

"Oh, you have the same idea, which makes sense because I have the same idea as you.

To be honest, I have already made similar preparations. Not only me, but even Bruce, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is ready to deal with your people..."

"Lex, damn it!"

On the side, Bruce cursed drunkenly, then took off his mask and looked at Clark.

Facing Clark's smiling face, Bruce nodded solemnly.

“Lex wasn’t kidding, I did make some preparations, even Tang was part of our preparations.

I don't want to deceive you, my friend, but I have to take responsibility for the safety of our team and the planet."

"Okay, Bruce, no need to say more, I understand you.

Guys, stop talking nonsense. Even if there are no people of my tribe in the spaceship, I want to see everything left inside as soon as possible.

Everyone, please lend a hand, let's get into the spaceship quickly!"

Clark agreed and continued to work. While he was busy, Downton was slightly stunned.

"Enter the spaceship? How do I enter the spaceship? I don't see the F key!"

"You think this is giving him love? Are you going to press F to enter the tank, asshole?"

Bruce rolled his eyes at Downton in annoyance, and Downton laughed and helped.

After another five or six minutes, everyone had cleared the permafrost around the spacecraft, leaving only the permafrost layer above the spacecraft to continue supporting the ice cap above their heads.

After seeing the size of the spaceship clearly, Lex became more and more excited. Compared with the small spaceship that brought Clark to Earth, the size of the spaceship in front of him was definitely much larger!

And Lex continued to pay attention.

Clark and Downton continued digging and came to the bottom of the spaceship.

Although this spaceship was not a pure flying saucer, the most basic entrances and exits were still under the hull of the spaceship. They dug all the way through and opened a passage.

Seeing this, Lex followed and looked at the closed round hatch above their heads with Bruce.

On the side, Clark asked the think tanks in their two teams.

"Uh, what should I do at this time? Aren't you prepared?"

"It's your own species' spaceship. How can we possibly be technologically prepared?"

Lex responded unhappily, then boldly knocked on the ship's door.

Boom boom boom!
After the muffled sound, there was an obvious sound of some objects moving in the spacecraft, and that sound made Clark's brows even more serious.

Meanwhile, Lex said as he thought about it.

"If that doesn't work... just smash it open?

Once we understand the structure of the spacecraft and have mastered the relevant knowledge, Bruce and I will help you fix it?"

“Bad idea, but it works!”

Clark nodded, then looked at Downton and asked,
"Should I do it or you?"

"Why, you don't want to leave?"

Donton asked back, then waved his right hand, and the four of them suddenly appeared in a dark and eerie metal passage in a flash of fire.

This is exactly the effect Lex wanted, but whether it is Lex or Bruce, they would not ask Downton to do anything casually.

After all, Downton is the BOSS.

But since Downton took the initiative, the others enjoyed the results. Lex quickly observed the surroundings and commented.

“Compared to the small spaceship on your farm, the hull structure looks a bit old, and the style and decorative patterns of the spaceship also show the shadow of technological iteration.

Therefore, this spaceship is much older than the small spaceship in your home. The exact age needs to be carefully calculated. I..."

"Don't talk about that for now, something is coming, very fast, and the sound is very light!"

On the side, Bruce interrupted Lex, then raised his hands and aimed the palm cannon at the end of the corridor.

The next moment, a dozen mechanical bodies that looked like floating cockroaches... and more like the Metapod in Pokémon, rushed towards the four people with blue light.

Looking at the oncoming...

No, not coming straight at them, because they were also surrounded by more mechanical bodies from behind!
Looking at those mechanical bodies, Lex took a breath and said excitedly.

“It’s a very sophisticated design, far beyond the current limits of human technology.

The entire structure is nanostructured, and its strength is unknown but definitely not low. Since these mechanical life forms can be used for protection, then its protective strength must at least be comparable to your super physique, Clark!"

At this point, Lex clenched his fists.

"Bruce, Clark, stay safe.

Oh, by the way, Tang, you can do whatever you want, but try not to use force and leave them to us. I’m afraid you might break these big treasures!
Besides, if we get into an accident, you've got to save our lives, man!"

"No problem, just have fun, I'll cover you, don't worry~" Donton smiled and waved to the three of them, and the three of them immediately moved two in front and one behind and rushed towards the flying mechanical bodies that were encircling them from the front and back.

Faced with the three people who suddenly made attacking movements, the mechanical bodies quickly changed into attacking forms. Their mechanical bodies similar to Metapods gradually split apart, and more blue energy bodies and tentacles transmitting energy extended from their bodies.

brush!
Dozens of tentacles immediately rushed towards Donton, because in the judgment of these mechanical bodies, Donton was the most dangerous one.

Upon seeing this, Lex suddenly unfolded the armor behind him, and the battle suit behind him flipped up like scales, and dozens of micro missiles immediately flew towards the tentacles.

At the same time, Clark rushed forward and knocked two mechanical bodies away with his shoulders.

It is worth mentioning that just when his body collided with the mechanical body.

The human armor near the collision point on Clark's body suddenly transformed into nano form and avoided the collision point.

Even though he was wearing armor, he was still using his flesh to support the mechanical body.

Clark made an amused expression and said to Lex from a distance.

"Lex, you said my armor has poor defense, so it means I have no defense at all?
Why did this thing dodge by itself before the collision? "

“Come on, Clark, you are much stronger than the alloy I can currently create.

Do you want to waste my materials by not using your body more often?"

Lex responded as he continued to release more missiles to control the field.

His armor and Bruce's armor are completely different styles. Bruce's armor is more inclined towards energy endurance and close-range attack weapons.

But his armor is completely a platform for outputting long-range firepower.

While Lex was attracting fire, Bruce, with flames coming out of his feet, used the power of his armor to move around, and in a blink of an eye, he had entangled a dozen tentacles together.

However, after the tentacles entangled with each other, they immediately dispersed into nanoparticles and easily broke free from each other's restraints.

Just as Bruce was further exploring the functions of the bio-machinery.

Clark held up a mechanical body tightly and used it to smash more mechanical bodies away with all his strength.

He spoke as he attacked.

“The strength of these things is really not low. Although not as good as my physique, it is not much worse. There is no need for us to waste time here.

Didn’t the spaceship that brought me to Earth give me something like a control core?

I think, as long as we can find how that thing is used, we can shut down this self-protection mechanism, right?"

"Yes."

On the side, Bruce dodged the attack of two tentacles, kicked away a mechanical body, and continued speaking.

"We rushed through this corridor, trying to find some sort of control center and command room.

Before coming in, I scanned the overall data of the spacecraft. Everyone follow me, I can roughly determine the direction of the control core! "

“Sure, but can someone help me get these tentacles free?
The more you talk, the more tentacles will entangle me.

"These guys are quite perceptive. They actually know that I'm the best. They use all their skills on me and are not willing to share any with you. Fuck!"

At the side, Donton, who was tied up tightly by more than seventy tentacles, forcibly pulled apart the tentacles that were outputting blue energy to reveal his face, and spoke to the three people who were fighting and discussing.

Listening to what Donton said and looking at Donton's current condition.

Bruce and the others couldn't help but stop what they were doing, while Lex simply cursed.

"Shit, what's wrong with you? You are a dead soul, what are you capable of...?"

"I'm afraid I'll ruin it!"

Donton interrupted Lex unhappily, then grabbed a handful of tentacles and used them to throw more than 20 mechanical bodies up!
It seemed that a large piece of machinery was about to crash into the corridor of the spacecraft.

Lex's eyes widened and his mouth opened.

"My dear, don't do it, wait for me to save you, don't mess it up, don't mess it up!!!"

As he spoke, Lex pushed Clark and caught the mechanical bodies that were almost thrown against the wall.

He and Bruce rushed into the tentacles and took a lot of effort to pull Donton out of the tentacles, finally saving the lives of Clark's group of mechanical brothers.

Clark was seen dragging Downton along at full speed, Bruce was directing the direction in front, and Lex was using long-range weapons in the back to block the increasing number of mechanical bodies, which were vaguely reaching hundreds.

He ran for more than forty seconds, crossed two long corridors, turned three corners, and crossed an overpass.

An empty hall finally appeared in front of everyone.

"found it!"

Bruce said quickly, then looked around at the empty platform.

In a spaceship of about 7,000 square meters, there is an open platform of at least 1,600 square meters. This platform must be some important place!

And just as Bruce opened his mouth.

Whoosh!
At the very center of the platform, black nano-metal suddenly surged out from the dark metal floor like waves, and in a blink of an eye formed a small operating table with minimalist style and blue light.

In the very center of the operating table, there is an inverted triangle shaped hole. You can tell with your eyes closed that it is used to hold the inverted triangle cylindrical key!
Clark didn't waste any time. Before the mechanical body caught up with him, he slammed the key hard on the operating table.

next moment……

brush!
The entire spaceship lit up, and the mechanical body that was chasing after everyone stopped completely in front of everyone after a brief chase.

Looking at the flying insect mechanical body that seemed to be examining himself and others, Lex let out a breath and spoke to Clark in a light-hearted tone.

"Clark, your people seem to like the Jiji-style decoration very much~"

"What is the Jifeng?"

Clark asked casually, and then looked towards the distance of Cambridge involuntarily.

There was a figure nodding to him from afar.

"Wait, there's someone!"

Clark pointed at the figure and spoke to Donton warily.

Donton was dragged by Clark and patted Clark's arm in amusement.

"Don't you know whether it's a human or not? That thing doesn't even breathe.

Let me go. I knew you were protecting those robots.

Let go quickly, stop holding on, and go talk to the phantom hovering in the spaceship!"

If Downton remembered correctly, after the phantom of Jor-El... Clark's biological father appeared, he should have taken Clark for a mysterious walk for a while.

But reality is different from the movies. I saw four people rushing into the spaceship at the same time.

Instead of being mysterious, Joe Al seemed a little confused.

The question is, the key I left to one son brought four men, so who is my son?

Considering their physical strength, the two guys wearing incomprehensible armor over there have been eliminated.

So, among the remaining two very strong guys, who is his son?

He should be the one who doesn't wear armor at all. My son should be brave enough!
