I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

As Joel asked the question, Depp immediately noticed several barely perceptible rays shining towards him.

This is clearly a laser detection device on the spacecraft.

Depp estimated that after this laser scan, the secret that he wasn't a Kryptonian would be completely seen through by Jorel's projection.

Just as Depp was considering whether to smash the control panel and the keys inside with a single punch to prevent Jorge from saying anything inappropriate, Jorge's expression changed, and then he showed a look of surprise.

"This is amazing!" Joel kept touching Depp's arm and said, "How can your body be so strong? This is not the kind of strong body that a normal creature should have."

Joel's remark made Depp immediately change his mind.

Whether this guy's praise was genuine or he was just changing the subject after discovering the truth.

Depp understood that Joel wouldn't reveal his secret.

“In fact, Kryptonians have a rather unique physique,” ​​Depp explained. “When exposed to the light of a red sun like the Kryptonian galaxy, their physique is not much different from that of humans.”

"Once the combat suits are removed, the Kryptonians are soft, weak, and utterly incapable of fighting."

"But one could simply replace the sun in the sky from an old red giant with a youthful yellow giant, just like the sun above the earth."

"Then the physical constitution of Kryptonians will undergo extremely drastic changes."

"Under the yellow sunlight, Kryptonians' strength, speed, stamina, and healing abilities are greatly enhanced."

"At the same time, Kryptonians will also gain special abilities such as heat rays and ice breath."

"That's true for both Clark and me."

Depp walked over to Clark and said.

what!

Even Clark...

Upon hearing this, Joel pondered for a moment, and then conducted a full scan of Clark as well.

After receiving the result, Joel shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Although Clark's physique also underwent mutations under the yellow sunlight.

But there is no doubt that Clark's genes are fundamentally different from Depp's.

However, Joel didn't make a big fuss about it, as he was just a projection of consciousness and couldn't help Clark much at all.

If he were to expose the secret of this young man named Depp, and Depp were to go on a killing spree, he couldn't guarantee Clark's safety.

Seemingly sensing Joel's worry, Depp whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not a madman like Zod. I genuinely want to help Clark."

"How do you even know Zod isn't dead?!"

Depp said calmly, "General Zod's coup failed, and he was exiled to the Void for two hundred years. He thus escaped the fate of being destroyed along with Krypton."

Then, Depp used his life force to send a message to Jorge.

I didn't tell Clark that he was born naturally, nor did I tell him why the Kryptonians couldn't leave Krypton when disaster struck.

Jorelle was completely dumbfounded. Who exactly was this guy?

It's really strange that someone who isn't a Kryptonian knows so much about Krypton.

Joel couldn't easily believe that someone he couldn't understand at all was telling him that they were genuinely helping his son.

However, there's not much else to do for the time being. I'm about to dissipate, so I can't launch a devastating attack on Depp.

All Joel could do was pray that the ridiculously handsome young man in front of him wasn't lying to him.

After Clark activated the key, Jorel's consciousness began its countdown to complete dissipation. In just over ten minutes, this consciousness would completely vanish.

Before that, Joel had to teach his children some of the things he considered most important.

Fortunately, Depp didn't tell Clark those important things.

Joel turned to Clark and said, "Child, do you know what the Chamber of Creation looks like, and how the Codex gives birth to new life?"

Clark slowly shook his head: "Brother Depp never told me any of this."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Joel projected the creation chamber behind them.

Like countless robust plants cultivated in blue nutrient solution soaring into the sky, and around these plants, one baby after another is nurtured in brood balls that grow around the plants.

"The Codex contains the gene pool of all Kryptonians, which is why we are able to selectively breed Kryptonians for various professions."

"Some people are born to be leaders, some are born to be soldiers or scientists, and some are born to be workers."

With that, Jorel waved his hand again, and the scene changed back to what Krypton looked like before its destruction.

The red sunlight shone down on the earth, giving the entire planet a dark red hue.

Then, a small spaceship carrying an infant slowly took off, breaking through Krypton's atmosphere and gravity, and flying into the boundless universe.

Ultimately, after the baby left, Krypton completely exploded, becoming dust that would forever drift in the universe.

Clark knew that the child who flew away from Krypton was himself.

But at the same time, a question lingered in Clark's mind.

"Why, why don't you leave Krypton like me?"

Jorel smiled and said, “We can’t do it, child. No matter how much we want to, no matter how much we love you, your mother and I, even Zod and all Kryptonians, can’t do it.”

"We are all the same, failures of our world."

"Because while the secret text nurtures life, it also imprints the most profound thing deep into the genes of every life it nurtures."

Clark asked, "What...is that?"

“We can never betray or abandon Krypton, so we can’t leave the collapsing planet and find another way out.” Jorel looked at Clark with a sense of relief: “Fortunately, your mother and I gave birth to you. You are different from us. You are a natural birth, so you are not subject to the control of the Codex.”

"So... I'm all alone?" Clark looked at Depp beside him and said, "No, I met Brother Depp, I'm not alone."

With a complex expression, Joril said, "Yes, you are a child of Krypton and a child of Earth. You are able to unite the power of two worlds. Your mother and I protected this dream with our lives."

As he spoke, the hatch in front of the two opened, revealing the combat suit standing inside.

A red cloak, a blue coat, and an unusually reassuring "S" shaped mark on the chest.

“Earthlings are very different from us, but I ultimately believe that’s a good thing; they won’t necessarily make the same mistakes we do. As long as you guide them, Carl.”

"As long as you give them hope, that's what this symbol means, and the Al family crest represents hope."

Jorel pulled open his robe, revealing the El family crest on his inner combat uniform—the iconic "S" shape.

"And what is contained in that hope is a firm belief in the inherent goodness of human nature."

"You can bring them all of this."

Clark asked, "But why am I different from everyone else?"

Joel glanced at Depp, then used the report he had just obtained to explain to Clark: "Earth's sun is younger and brighter than Krypton's. Your cells absorbed its rays, enhancing your strength, skin, and senses. Earth's gravity is weaker, but its atmosphere is more nutrient-rich, making you much stronger than I imagined. The only way to know how powerful you are is to constantly challenge your limits."

After saying that, Joel's projection slowly dissipated, and he said, "My time is running out, but your time has just begun."

As his father's projection faded, Clark's expression gradually hardened.

He seemed to have found his mission and everything he had been searching for.

He will give everything to protect the people on this planet.

The spaceship's hatch slowly opened, and Clark, dressed in his battle suit, followed Depp out.

Depp turned to Clark, gave him a look, and said, "Go challenge your limits, Clark."

No, Superman!

Taking a day off at the beginning of the month, sending you love!

(ˊ?ˋ*)?

Chapter 328 Created for You!

"You must lead humanity forward."

"They will follow you closely, they will stumble, they will fall."

"But one day, Carl, they will be bathed in the same sunlight as you."

"One day you will help them create miracles."

"Because...you are a miracle!"

After hearing Depp's words, Clark's belief was rekindled, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Then, Clark leaped into the air with all his might, soaring into the sky before crashing down in front of him.

Countless fragments of rock exploded, forming a deep crater centered on Clark.

This time, Clark did not use the Life Force, but instead unleashed his full power.

Then, Clark jumped up again, revealing an innocent and carefree smile like a child.

For eighteen years, under his father's guidance and protection, Clark had never been so relaxed, never used his power so unreservedly.

Even when helping Depp defend Gotham, Clark didn't act with the same recklessness as he does now.

Because at that time he needed to take care of the people around him who had not yet fled, and he always needed to have some spare capacity.

After several jumps, Clark seemed to feel something different.

This feeling comes from the deepest longing of my own soul, and also from the longing of all humankind.

Sky!

No one has ever imagined that they could soar freely in the sky.

Clark, who grew up on Earth, was no exception.

Finally, after one jump, Clark did not fall down after reaching the highest point, but stretched out his arms and continued forward.

flight!

Clark took his first real flight!

"Whoosh!" Feeling the wind whipping against his cheeks, Clark was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, I really...flew up!"
