Eric and Clark returned to the "Secret Fortress" in the Arctic.
Clark wanted to know more information about the alleged General Zod's attack.
"Welcome, my sons!"
As soon as the two walked into the fortress, they heard Jor-El's voice echoing in the "Secret Fortress."
"We came here to ask you, with Zod's impending attack, what should we do? Zod's spaceship is attacking, can we destroy it before he reaches Earth?!"
Clark asked him loudly.
"No, you cannot! That is a brain-interactive construct, such advanced technology cannot be stopped by any force, unless its master—General Zod—destroys it himself!"
Clark looked up around him and shouted, "I will find a way to stop him!"
"General Zod committed unforgivable crimes and was imprisoned in the Phantom Zone. His current strength is not at its peak, so you are not without a chance."
"Unforgivable? Did he kill you?"
Clark asked him, somewhat unable to accept it.
"Yes, and your mother, the entire race! He will do to Earth what he did to Krypton!"
Jor-El's voice echoed in the empty fortress, "I know you are not ready, but you do not have enough time to grow and adapt, Kal-El, Eric Kent, you must pick up your mission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two sets of uniforms rose from the fortress and flew in front of the two.
The one that flew in front of Clark was a blue and black bodysuit with an S-shaped symbol on the chest.
In front of Eric was a dark black uniform, an ancient dark black tone all over, with no "S" symbol on the chest, and no extra patterns, but it was clear that this was the same type of uniform as Clark's.
Clark reached out and touched the uniform in front of him, and an uncontrollable excitement suddenly arose in his heart.
Does this "S" symbol mean that he is now moving towards the goal of being called "Superman"?
Eric looked at the uniform in front of him with a thoughtful expression.
He had seen himself wearing this uniform in the future he saw at Ms. Cassandra's sanatorium.
Was it from this moment that the uniform followed him?
Eric looked up at the ice pillar in the center of the "Secret Fortress," reached out and grabbed the uniform, and turned to leave.
"I'm leaving first."
He had no fear of the so-called Zod.
After defeating Trigon, he had absolute confidence against strong enemies.
"Good luck, my son!"
Hearing the other party call him son again, Eric frowned, resisted the urge to tear the place down, and turned to leave.
Seven days later, at night.
Eric was standing on the farm making a phone call.
Only after promising the crying Rachel that he would definitely go see her soon did the little girl, who loved to act spoiled and cry to Eric, stop crying.
"Rachel, please give the phone to Baron Winters, I want to say a few words to him."
Rachel, who was at Baron Winters's house, talking on the phone and tormenting "Merlin" at the same time, said "Oh" and reluctantly handed the phone to the Baron, who was listening in with his ears perked up.
Eric had just said a few words to the Baron when Clark walked up to him.
"Eric, did you see that?"
Clark pointed to the sky and said to Eric with a serious expression.
Eric looked up.
His vision penetrated the atmosphere, and he saw an octopus-shaped spaceship rapidly approaching Earth.
Its speed was not fast, clearly intending to be observed.
"Click!"
At the same time, all the lights in the room went out.
Eric walked into the room, and Clark, with a deep frown, followed behind him.
After the lights went out, the room was pitch black.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, not a single ray of moonlight could penetrate.
Eric took two steps forward, and the television in the room suddenly lit up.
At first, static flickered on the TV, then a letter appeared on the TV—"LONELY."
In the dark room, with the flickering static screen and the dimming and brightening lights, it gave off an extremely eerie feeling.
Clark stood behind Eric, staring blankly at the letter that appeared in the flickering static on the TV screen.
The word "LONELY" first appeared in the static, followed by several other words, forming the phrase "YOU ARE NEVER ALONE."
It started in English, then constantly switched between various languages.
English, French, Italian, Chinese, Spanish.
The phrase "YOU ARE NEVER ALONE" was repeatedly expressed in various languages.
"Sizzle!"
After displaying this phrase, the static on the TV became even more dazzling, even emitting a harsh noise.
Eric pulled out his phone and found that his phone had also been hacked.
"My name is Zod!"
A hoarse electronic voice suddenly came from the TV.
"I have crossed the stars, and your world has sheltered two of our people. I demand that you return them! Due to unknown identities, they have kept their identities from you; they have tried to integrate into your lives; they look like you, but they do not belong to you! To those who may currently know their whereabouts, the fate of your planet rests in your hands."
"Kal-El, Kyle Miser, listen, surrender within 24 hours, or watch this world be destroyed because of you!"
After the last sentence, the static image on the TV disappeared, and the lights suddenly came back on.
The lights in the kitchen even exploded due to excessive voltage.
Shards of the light bulb crashed to the floor.
Looking at the TV program that had returned to normal, Eric shook his head.
"Kyle Miser?"
"Messiah" in Kryptonian means a desolate land or a place of exile, and "Keir" refers to descendants of certain criminals or people despised by mainstream Kryptonian society.
