American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Zod is probably modifying this thing in those outposts right now.

"Our civilization flourished for a long time, creating many wonders, until..."

"Until what?" Clark asked impatiently.

"Until we implemented a reform and started population control, countless outposts were abandoned."

Joe's words here are very vague, but Dane knows very well that the so-called reform is actually a massive civil war.

At that time, the Kryptonians had almost no rivals in the known universe, and even powerful forces such as Apokolips and the Green Lantern Corps could only avoid their edge.

The invincible Kryptonians started a civil war for unknown reasons. The war lasted for a very long time and countless Kryptonians died in the war.

Finally one day, the Kryptonians had enough deaths, began to reflect, and re-enacted their laws.

They pre-designed the social division of labor for every newborn Kryptonian baby, and determined their future social roles from birth.

The full implementation of this law is a foreshadowing of Krypton's future evolution into what it is today.

Joe continued to tell the story.

"We've depleted our natural resources, and the planet's core is becoming unstable."

"Finally, our military leader, General Zod, attempted to change this situation through a coup..."

To be honest, although Dane doesn't like Zod's domineering attitude, he thinks that what Zod did at that time was fine.

The Kryptonian Parliament is obviously unable to solve the problem of Krypton's destruction, but it prohibits Kryptonians from emigrating. This is to drag the people of the world to death together.

Zod's move was to save the world. Although he also coveted power, there was nothing wrong with him overall. His only mistake was that he failed.

Whatever a loser says is wrong.

"Your mother and I foresaw the outcome, so we found a way to send you here."

As he spoke, Joe began to move, taking Clark and Dane to the Creation Chamber.

Inside are artificial wombs hanging like vines.

He began to tell Clark about the fate of the Kryptonians and began to instill the idea of free will in Clark.

Free will, Americans love this.

This bowl of chicken soup that had been brewing for 25 years was fortunate to welcome its first customer, and Clark drank it with relish.

Dane could see that Clark was full of faith at this moment.

He was sure that if Dane said he wanted to kill Zod at this time, he would definitely follow him without saying a word.

When it comes to persuading people, it has to be Super Dad. Dane feels that he is still far from being good enough.

Finally, Joe opened the locker beside him, and a blue tights and a red cape appeared in front of him.

Joe explained to him the meaning of the "S" on the chest of the El family, which means hope.

Clark picked up the clothes, and the cool feel made him reluctant to let go.

He was about to put it on when he paused and turned to look at Dane.

Dane rolled his eyes before saying, "Alright, I'll go out and meet you."

After he finished speaking, the down jacket on his body suddenly flashed and turned into a red battle suit. He raised his eyebrows and flew out directly.

Battle suit, it seems like everyone has it.

Clark's face twitched, but he continued to get dressed.

Joe looked at this scene with a kind face and felt more relieved. At least Carl still had friends and didn't have to be alone.

Chapter 007 Clark's First Sight of Gotham

Dane waited until Clark and Joe finished catching up before making his request.

"You want to learn about the knowledge on this ship?"

"Yes."

Dane explained, and especially when he talked about Zod, he noticed that Joe's face changed.

"You are Carl's friend. If he is willing to trust you, I am willing to trust you too."

Clark said at the right time: "I believe him."

Joe was speechless. He nodded and gave Dane permission to browse the technical documents.

"How do you want to learn? This ship can instill knowledge directly through neural circuits."

"But this is a 2-year-old ship. It's hard for you to form long-term memories with this device. You can only transmit it bit by bit."

"no problem."

He still had great confidence in the "wisdom of Solomon."

"Well, there's another independent intelligent AI on this ship. She will help you absorb this knowledge."

Joe's digital AI was brought from Carl's spaceship, an ancient research vessel with its own artificial intelligence.

Dane nodded.

"welcome."

Detecting Dane's common phrase, a pleasant female voice echoed in his ears.

"Recursive program diagnosis completed, navigation authority confirmed."

"All systems are functioning normally."

"Unknown has requested permission to transfer access to the archives. Do you accept?"

Dane realized he was being addressed and replied, "Accepted."

"The Kryptonian Archives contain knowledge from a hundred thousand different worlds."

"very good."

Dane was about to go in, but then he seemed to remember something and shouted to Clark.

"Clark, I'm going to start studying. Want to join me?"

"do not want!"

Clark's face was full of rejection. Although he had a super brain, Dane felt that it should be called a super cerebellum. Apart from allowing him to better control his super powers, he had never seen him use this ability to do anything serious.

Could it be that he was poisoned by the Americans’ happy education?

Dane, who was a serious student in his previous life, expressed his incomprehension, but he respected Clark's choice.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to invite people to join our organization?"

"It's the Justice League!"

“Isn’t this name a bit too deliberate?”

"Your name from now on will be 'Superman'. I feel this is more deliberate."

"I have a name? What about you? What's your name?"

"Shazam."

“This name feels a bit unremarkable.”

Clark actually commented on it with great interest.

"Is there any explanation?"

"For I have the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the endurance of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury."

"Six gods take the initials of their names and combine them to form Shazam!"

"That's kind of cool. You can explain it to your fans this way in the future."

Dane rolled his eyes. He didn't mention that Shazam had a former nickname called "Captain Marvel", after all, there was a copyright conflict.

And when he heard this name, he thought of a square old lady's face.

"If you really have nothing to do, you can go to Gotham and try to get in touch with Batman."

"Didn't you say he was suspicious?"

"Yeah, but you should be fine."

"Didn't you say he was difficult?"

"Yeah, but you should be fine."

Clark looked puzzled. What's the matter? No problem, no problem.

Dane didn't say anything. Looking at the DC world, Superman and Batman are good friends most of the time.

For some reason, the scheming Batman can always accept the simple Superman so quickly. As long as Superman treats him sincerely, he believes that Batman's iceberg will melt.

Besides, Zod hasn't come yet, Wayne Building hasn't collapsed, and Batman doesn't have such a deep prejudice against Superman, so it's quite appropriate to let him go.

It’s just that Superman is too naive now. I don’t know if he can survive in such a simple place like Gotham?

"Okay then, I'll go, what about the others?"

Dane thought for a moment and said:

"Wonder Woman and General Swanwick can wait for now. I will find a chance to invite them when the time comes."

This was also a consideration. If he remembered correctly, Wonder Woman should be working in Bali now and had not yet returned to the United States.

The Martian Manhunter has now infiltrated the upper echelons of the military, so we can't approach him rashly.

The other heroes have not grown up yet, so it is not convenient to invite them.

He once considered inviting Hawkman Carter Hall and Doctor Fate Kent Nelson of the Justice Society.

However, thinking about the performance of these two people in "Black Adam", he was a little hesitant, not because of their strength.

Although Hawkman doesn't look very strong, he is really tough, and has high combat IQ and experience. He also has enough leadership charisma as the leader of a small team.

But he is a bit double-standard and stubborn.

In the movie, for the sake of so-called procedural justice, he strictly forbade Black Adam from killing people, but the International Gang had committed countless blood debts in Kandak before, and he didn't do anything.

Dane labeled this person "pedantic" and "conservative."

No wonder Adriana, who released Black Adam, would rather believe Black Adam than the Justice Society. She looks down on them.

Speaking of Doctor Fate, well...

When I read the comics, I thought this character was very tragic, but his performance in the movie gave people a feeling of being willing but unable to do anything, and he completely failed to show the strength that a god should have.

Moreover, after Kent becomes Doctor Fate, he will be possessed by the god of Naboo, whom Dane dislikes very much and whose words are as irritating as Amanda Waller's.

In short, both of them feel a bit unworthy of their reputation, but his judgment is based on the world view of the comics.

If they feel it’s okay based on the upper limit of the movie universe’s power, then we’ll see.

After Dane and Clark finished discussing, they ignored him and went into the archives room to study.

As for going to school, what the hell!

.........

Clark dressed up as an ordinary farm boy and walked into Gotham.

At night, Clark walked into a restaurant called "Pauli's Diner" in the drizzle. He was a little hungry.

"Hello, what can I get?"

A blonde waitress came over from behind the table.

"Waffles, bacon, and coffee."

Clark smiled friendly, and the waitress was delighted to see his handsome face, and went to prepare it with a smile.

"It's pretty awful weather, isn't it?"

Clark heard someone talking and looked over in confusion, only to see a middle-aged man in a police uniform.

"My name is Owens, and I'm a local police officer. Young man, you're not from here, are you?"
