Chapter 323
"My cousin?"
"Kal-El's father is Jor-El, and Jor-El is the younger brother of your father, Zor-El, so yes, Kal-El is your cousin!"
Kara's father and Kal's—that is, Clark Kent's—biological father were both scientists, but the two of them held opposing views.
In other universes, after Jor-El told Zor-El the news that Krypton was about to explode, Zor-El did not want his daughter to be sent to Earth. He pinned his hopes of saving Krypton on the immature City-in-a-Bottle technology of Brainiac, building a large force field to protect the city from destruction.
When Krypton was destroyed, a portion of the city he lived in was cast into space. Because there was still enough air coverage, the residents of the city were able to survive.
However, the radiation from Kryptonite threatened their lives. At the final moment, Zor-El and his wife sent their daughter Kara to a planet they discovered was inhabited by a Kryptonian: Earth.
However, Zor-El stubbornly survived and was later transformed into the Cyborg Superman by Brainiac.
The origin in the parallel universe Earth-38 is somewhat similar; Zor-El and the other Kryptonians did not die because of Krypton's explosion, and Superwoman even met them.
As for this world, it's mostly gone.
If there were other Kryptonians alive, General Zod, who escaped disaster by being locked in the Phantom Zone, could not have been unaware.
"Kal-El, where is he?" Kara asked in a low voice.
"Right here on Earth."
Su Quan said with a smile: "This kid is no simple matter. He is a naturally born baby. Before Krypton exploded, Jor-El placed your Kryptonian Codex of Life into his body, allowing him to escape Krypton and come to Earth."
"After arriving on Earth, he was adopted by a couple and named Clark Kent. He is only four or five years old now and doesn't know his own background yet."
"His family has a good relationship with me. I plan to tell him the truth after his abilities manifest, and then train him to be the leader of the Superman Legion."
Kara pondered for a moment, digesting the news about her cousin, then frowned and asked: "What do you mean by the Superman Legion?"
"It's a Kryptonian legion. Besides your daughter, I have also cultivated five hundred Kryptonians."
Kara said in a deep voice: "You want to rule the Kryptonians?"
Su Quan shrugged: "Why not? They were born because of me; isn't it expected that they obey me? Not just them, you, and your cousin, it's all the same!"
"Because only I can truly accept you, and only I can help you rebuild your home and give you a true paradise!"
Kara was stunned and said subconsciously: "You want to transform Earth into an environment suitable for Kryptonians to survive?"
"Too small, your perspective is too small!"
Su Quan shook his head and smiled: "There is more than one planet suitable for Kryptonians to live on or transform, and more than just the Earth of this universe. When I have the chance, I'll take you to visit other universes. You can see yourself from another universe, and maybe even see your parents from another universe!"
"By the way, what is your name?" Su Quan suddenly remembered and asked curiously.
Kara was stunned: "Don't you know? My name is Kara Zor-El."
Su Quan shook his head: "I'm not asking for your Kryptonian name, but your Earth name."
The Kara of this world was not sent to Earth when she was young like the Kara of Earth-38, so she wouldn't be adopted by the Danvers family and named Kara Danvers.
"Li Linda Lee," Kara said.
Li Linda Lee?
Li Li Linda?
That name is quite interesting.
The meaning of Li Linda is pretty, independent, and enterprising; it means pretty, beautiful, excellent, and charming, and also carries meanings of softness and gentleness.
"What about you? What is your name?" Kara asked him.
"Su Quan."
Su Quan didn't know why Kara chose the Earth name Li Li Linda for herself, but the name was indeed easy to remember and convenient for distinguishing her.
After all, whether it's the title of Superwoman or the name Kara Zor-El, the one from the American TV show 【Supergirl】—that is, the one from Earth-38—is more impressive.
"Why choose me?"
"You have already started cultivating other Kryptonians, and there are many excellent genes to choose from. Why me?"
Kara accepted that Krypton had been destroyed, accepted that she had a cousin named Clark Kent, and even accepted that she and the future Kryptonians would be under Su Quan's rule.
After all, she was lost about the future right now, had no direction, and didn't know what to do.
She wasn't like her cousin, who had been adopted by humans on Earth since childhood and had special feelings for Earth and humanity.
However, the fact that she was about to have a daughter was the one thing she couldn't easily accept!
Let's put it this way: the fact that she was having a daughter was even harder for her to accept than the fact that the other half of the daughter's genes was Su Quan!
"Probably because you are the first Kryptonian to live on Earth? Or because you were the captain of that spaceship." Su Quan was referring to the reason Veronica chose her.
"You, can you change to someone else? I really don't have the mental preparation to become a mother."
"I'm afraid not!"
Su Quan could understand Kara's mood. Some people have a fear of marriage, some have a fear of men, and some have a fear of becoming a mother. It's very normal; not all women want to be mothers like Veronica!
"Although the child has half of your genes, the main reason is because you are a Kryptonian, a relatively excellent Kryptonian. So after the child is born, you don't have to worry about her, and you don't have to pay too much attention. There will be people to raise her and take care of her."
Kara snorted: "I don't think you will raise her or take care of her. To you, she might just be a powerful tool, a thug to satisfy your ambition!"
"But to me, she is my daughter!"
Su Quan shrugged and said somewhat shamelessly: "Then there's nothing to be done. You can only blame your bad luck for meeting me. After all, I met you later, and I can't deny the request of someone working for me just for a stranger."
"Wait!"
Kara stared at Su Quan with wide eyes: "What do you mean by that? Wasn't it chosen by you? You, aren't you the child's father?"
Su Quan spread his hands and said with a wicked smile: "When did I ever say I was the child's father? I only said you were the child's mother and that the child has half of your genes."
"Damn it!"
Kara shouted irritably: "I just started to accept the fact that you and I will have a daughter, and you tell me you aren't the child's father?"
"So who is the child's father? One of your subordinates? You just took my genes like that and decided who my daughter's father is?"
Su Quan shrugged: "If you mind so much that the child's father isn't me, I can consider having one with you through natural childbirth, but I can't guarantee whether it will be born!"
