Chapter 383: Qiao Ai'er's Thoughts

As he thought about it, Joe El's eyes lingered on Donton.

Indescribable tenderness and care gradually appeared in his pupils.

This is my child...

and many more……

As he watched, Qiao Aier suddenly felt something was strange.

Because why does he always feel that this child is not like himself?

Downton's build is very similar to Bruce and Clark. Among the four people present, only Lex is relatively thin and short.

At the same time, Bruce, Clark and Downton are all on par with each other in terms of appearance.

Although Downton is a little more handsome than the other two, Mr. and Superman are the essence of the DC world. Even if Downton is more handsome, he can't be much better than them.

However, even if Downton's handsomeness could break down the differences in racial images, Joel could still see the difference anyway.

This kid doesn't look like me, let alone any member of the El family!
Thinking of this, Qiao Ai took a breath.

Could it be...

Could it be the Code of Life that is causing trouble?

In many different worlds, the Kryptonian Life Codex might not necessarily be housed within Clark.

Just like in the previous world where Kara and the Flash brought Constantine here, the Codex of Life was in Kara's body, not Clark.

But in this world that is equivalent to the original DC, Jor-El personally placed the Codex of Life in Clark's body.

So, looking at Downton, who was nothing like himself, Joel came to a regretful conclusion.

My son might have inherited more genetic data from the Codex of Life...

But even so, he is still his son. Even if he doesn't look like him, Joe won't have any grudges.

Just like that, looking at the four people who were looking at him, Joel nodded gently and kindly to Donton and continued.

"You've grown up, my son, and you've made some wonderful friends.

I am sincerely happy for you.

I am Jor-El, the leader of the Kryptonian Academy of Sciences, one of the patriarchs of the El family, and also your father. "

Having said that, the phantom of Jor-El gently came in front of Downton.

He just nodded in the direction of Downton again and continued.

"As for your name, my child, your name is Kal-El, the heir to the House of El and the last hope of Krypton!

I am glad that you have grown up, but I regret that I couldn't grow up with you.

I'm sorry, Carl, my son!"

At this point, Joel almost burst into tears, and at the same time, he hugged Donton with a sad face.

Next to Downton, Clark was still feeling touched, but the next second he saw that thing called Jor-El hugging Downton!!!

At the same time, Donton was still enjoying himself one second, but the next second he found out that the person Joel wanted to hug was actually him? ! !
On the side, Bruce and Lex's eyes widened instantly!

"This is impossible!"

Lex exclaimed.

"How could Tang be an alien!"

He had done a data comparison and found that Clark's genes were completely different from those of humans, with the contrast being only about 99.985 percent.

As for Downton, it is absolutely a 99.999 infinite loop. It is easy to imagine who is closer to human beings between the two of them!

Hearing Lex's exclamation, Clark nodded quickly!
Yeah, how could Tang be an alien!

In other words, even if Tang is also an alien, this spaceship has absolutely nothing to do with Tang at the moment, because all the clues were dug out from his own farm!

While Clark was shocked, Donton glared at Jor-El who was about to hug him and yelled at him.

"Oh shit, what the hell are you talking about?

Whose father are you? Fuck you!

Is it not enough for you to die once? Do you want me to pull you back and kill you a second time?

Damn it, someone is taking advantage of me!

Clark, is it okay for your dad to lend me a beating? Damn it!"

While cursing, Downton rolled up his arms and sleeves, and the shirt that had transformed into the golden chain mail armor immediately rolled up above Downton's forearms.

The next moment, Donton suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the neck of Jor-El's phantom.

Qiao Aier was slightly stunned?
Wait, is there something wrong?
It’s not a question of whether I admitted my mistake or not, but... I’m just a fucking shadow.

Then how was your neck grabbed?

Are you kidding me? ? ?
Just as Jor-El was confused, Donton picked up Jor-El's phantom and threw it to the ground.

At this moment, even though Jor-El no longer existed, Downton's claws of freedom still managed to grab Jor-El's presence and slammed him to the ground!
Boom!
Hearing the dull thud of his father falling to the ground, Clark's confused, Caroline-like eyes suddenly widened.

"Wait, Tang, don't do it, that's my dad!!!"

While roaring, Clark pounced on Downton, struggling to resist Downton's strength!
On the side, Bruce and Lex also rushed up quickly after a moment of pause.

Bruce and Clark grabbed hold of Downton's fist as he was about to raise it, and loudly advised him.

"No, Tang, don't be so angry. Clark's father just admitted his mistake. He didn't want to take advantage of others, and he didn't dare to take advantage of others!"

At the same time, Lex walked forward and extended his hand to Jor-El.

He raised his hand and was about to pull Joe El, trying to help Clark's father up.

result……

Whoosh!
His hand went straight through Jor-El's torso.

Ok?
Lex's look became more and more weird.

He quickly scratched Joe El's body twice with his hands.

Whoosh...

After his hands passed through Jor-El's body again and again, Lex swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the hand that Donton was holding Jor-El's neck.

As they watched, Lex spoke in shock to the phantom of Jor-El who was ten thousand times more shocked than he was.

"Ahem, Mr. Qiao Ai'er, are you really just an illusion?"

"Uh...yeah, in theory, I'm just an illusion, but I'm not so sure about that now..."

Jor-El replied to Lex with difficulty, and their conversation made the three men who were hugging each other stop involuntarily.

After a moment of silence, Clark grabbed Donton's wrist.

"Tang, that was just my dad's illusion. There's no need for you to be so angry. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

On the side, Bruce also quickly advised.

"Let go, Donton. He's not here. It won't be too late to take action when you see him in person. Why take out your anger on a shadow?"

The two of them worked together and finally managed to get Donton to release the Phantom of Jor-El's neck.

After escaping from Downton, Joel stood up with a confused look on his face and then walked towards the wall.

whoosh...

His body naturally passed through the wall. Whoosh...

He put it back on naturally.

Everything seemed so normal, but Joel's face became more and more broken.

So how did I get beaten up?

He had been dead for so long, but he was still beaten. Is this what they call there is still a hurdle after death?
For a moment, the look in Joel's eyes when he looked at Donton became more and more terrified.

When Jor-El looked at him with horror on his face, Donton broke free from Clark and Bruce in dissatisfaction, and then clenched his fists at Jor-El's shadow.

“Damn it, for everyone’s sake, I’ll spare you this time, Joel.

Also, could you please get the fuck clear?
He can't even recognize his own son, and yet he is considered the head of the Kryptonian Science Academy. I'm afraid I know how Krypton will perish!
Look carefully, Joel, I am Donton, and this boy is your biological son Clark!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton pushed Clark angrily, and pushed Clark two steps towards Jor-El.

Looking at Clark approaching him with a nervous look on his face, he heard what Downton had said before.

Qiao Ai'er had a lot of complaints in his heart and didn't know what to say.

Could he say that he had released all his passion on Downton and now he didn't know what to say?

The most important thing is that according to his speculation, after Kal-El came to Earth, he should be able to become the God of the Earthlings.

But how come Kal-El, who should have become extraordinary on Earth, is now staggering because of being pushed and shoved by an Earthling?

Is Downton really not his son?

Thinking of this, Joel couldn't help but glance at Donton again. Facing Donton's fierce eyes, he suddenly felt his neck tighten and his back ached slightly.

So he swallowed hard, then raised his hands tremblingly to the nervous Clark.

"You... uh... I... uh... this...

Ahem, anyway, I am your father Jor-El, and you are Kal-El.

At the same time, you are the last hope of Krypton that I sent to Earth before Krypton was destroyed!"

Joel spoke to Clark as calmly as possible, glancing at the operating table in the distance.

Looking at the key on the operating table, Qiao Aier felt that there should be no mistake this time, because that key was the one he left for his son, and his son must be among these four people.

I was wrong before, so now this should be correct.

So, he resolutely hugged Clark.

Although he couldn't feel his father's embrace, Clark still tried his best to adjust his mood and welcome his father's love.

After a moment, Jor-El let go of Clark and looked around carefully.

Did you get the right one this time?

You won’t get beaten again, right?

so far so good……

Seeing that no one had any special reaction, Joel breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help but put Clark behind his mind and came to Downton again.

He couldn't wait to adjust his mood and continued to ask Donton.

“I’m glad you can help me take care of my child. I’m proud of my son because I have such great friends like you.

But I still want to know, how on earth did you... I mean... why did you grab me by the neck?

You have to know that my original body has long been dead, and what appears here is just a phantom of my past and the bits of thoughts stored in the system.

Theoretically speaking, I am not even as good as an artificial intelligence, because although I seem to be able to think, I can only think based on my memory, and I don’t even have the computing power and reasoning ability of AI.

You can treat me as a non-existent life, but why would I, who does not exist, be hurt?

Your name is Donton, right? Then, can I ask you to answer my question?
Why can you touch me who doesn't exist?"

When asked this, Joel stared at Donton with a puzzled look on his face.

The eagerness and desire for Downton in his eyes made Clark curl his lips.

Even though Clark had been looking forward to it for a long time, he no longer looks forward to seeing his biological father.

Your biological father is no match for your adoptive father.

My adoptive father loves me deeply, but my biological father treats me as if I’m a hindrance. I’m not as important as a problem. I want to cry!
Woohoo...

With deep sadness in his heart, Clark took a deep breath, and then looked at Downton with the same curiosity.

He also wanted to know how Donton beat up his non-existent father!

On the side, Clark and Bruce also looked at Downton with great curiosity.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Donton curled his lips and spoke casually.

“I don’t know how I did it, but I know very well that if I wanted to, I could even pull you out of hell and beat you up!
Although it is ridiculous to grab your past existence and beat up your dead self, anything more ridiculous is just a joke to me.

Even if you are a Kryptonian, you are far inferior to God.

And I, haha, I am closer to God than your entire planet is, Jor-El!"

After he finished speaking, Donton waved his hand at Joel unhappily.

Looking at Donton's impatient expression, Joel was stunned for a moment, then took a breath.

"This is really... incredible!"

His eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and he immediately turned to Clark and spoke softly.

"Karl, my son.

Before I decided to send you to Earth, I really didn't know that there was such a mysterious and great life on Earth!
In our Kryptonian records, the Earth is just an ordinary planet that I think is very suitable for your survival.

It seems like everything is arranged by fate, it's incredible!"

"and many more!"

Just as Jor-El was saying this, Lex suddenly interrupted him.

Then, Lex frowned and spoke to Jor-El and Clark word by word.

“Mr. Jor-El, you should be aware that you Kryptonians are not ordinary.

Clark...your son, has an extraordinary physique, he can even be called a god!
So, what were you thinking when you made the decision to place such a powerful life on what you thought was an ordinary Earth?
Do you just want Clark to grow up safely?"

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of hostility in Lex's eyes when he looked at Jor-El.

On the side, Clark immediately understood what Lex meant.

So Clark couldn't help but look at his so-called father with a scrutinizing look.

At the same time, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Bruce's eyes.

Because what Jor-El did was obviously releasing an extremely terrifying alien species that had no natural enemies into the native environment of the Earth!
If it weren't for chance, Clark would have met a very kind adoptive family.

If it weren't for the fact that the Earth is not actually ordinary, and Clark, although very strong, is not the only one.

Then... maybe Clark is really qualified to be the only god on Earth!

Thinking in this way, even if Joel didn't say it, everyone understood his actual purpose.

He didn't mean to send an alien refugee to Earth.

He simply wanted to send a god to the people of Earth!
