Chapter 3595

Brainiac was very broken.

In the comic setting, Brainiac is a pure logical creature, he has no emotions. But in fact, if he really possesses 12th-level intelligence, then he is completely capable of understanding emotions and simulating them.

Although most of the time this is unnecessary, if one wants to understand the behavioral logic of intelligent life with emotions, one cannot avoid considering emotional factors. So he knew that if he used vocabulary describing human emotions to describe his current situation, it would probably be broken.

And if one wanted to describe the Justice League that put him in his current situation, he would never be stingy with those insulting vocabulary that output anger, which he originally thought were meaningless. He even felt that human vocabulary was too scarce to describe this organization well.

However, broken is broken, and cursing is cursing. He still had to think of a way, otherwise wouldn't he let this group of bastards succeed?

The first method Brainiac thought of was certainly not to follow the Justice League's plan. He wanted to solve the problem from the root, which was to break free from this time loop.

But it was a great pity that no Brainiac in any universe had the ability to manipulate time. Accurately speaking, he belongs to the third generation of creations, and is very far from the rules and origin.

The Kryptonian god Rao created Kryptonians, and Kryptonians created Brainiac. By the generation of Kryptonians, they were already far from the source power; by Brainiac, he couldn't even touch the edge.

What is the power of the source and rules closest to him? It's the Mother Box.

The Mother Box itself is actually just a supercomputer, not necessarily as advanced as Brainiac. But the difference is that the Mother Box is closer to the cosmic origin, which can make Brainiac closer to the cosmic origin. And compared to carbon-based organisms, Brainiac, who is also based on silicon-based bodies, can better utilize the Mother Box.

After investigating that the artifact might have been left on Earth, he racked his brains to sneak into Earth, wanting to find the whereabouts of the artifact here. Then he fell into the trap of the Justice League.

The problem now is: he wants to get rid of the trap, he must find the Mother Box, he wants to find the Mother Box, he must sneak into Earth, he wants to sneak into Earth, he will encounter the trap—is this a dead loop?

And he didn't feel that if he didn't sneak into Earth, the Justice League would let him go. He could see that this group of evil Earthlings had been holding back for a long time, and if there was a chance to catch a sheep, they would never let it go without shearing it bald.

After a series of attempts, Brainiac found that he had no way to break free from the control of the time flow before the node of time backtracking. He couldn't find the Mother Box, and he couldn't forcibly break free. This path was definitely not going to work.

Since his skills were not as good as others, he had to admit defeat. But admitting defeat was not so easy, it wasn't that if you bowed your head and admitted defeat, they would let you go. Brainiac had already seen clearly that they were just aiming to torture him.

Brainiac conducted countless arguments and calculations and reached a conclusion—if he continued according to the original process, he had absolutely no possibility of defeating the invaders recruited by the Justice League within more than a month.

Billions or even trillions of speculations of possibilities, the success rate was 0%. There are thousands of roads, and none of them work.

So Brainiac still had to choose to bow his head and admit defeat, because this way he could at least have a little more time. The Darkseid Legion and the Yellow Lantern Corps were both recruited by the Justice League, which means when they come basically depends on the Justice League. As long as he could make the Justice League loosen their mouths and step back, and let them come a little later, he could at least have some room for operation.

When Brainiac contacted the Justice League, they were holding a review meeting. It was also through this meeting that Brainiac learned their entire plan.

The timeline after resetting is currently about a day ago, which is not long after solving H'El. Clark went to find his brother.

The other party was lying in the life-support pod, with a layer of ice sealed outside. Although this safety measure was of no use to this super Kryptonian, the Justice League was just looking for luck and didn't intend to really trap him.

In fact, for someone who can travel through time, there is nothing that can really trap him. He stayed here purely because Clark was here—H'El wouldn't refuse to see him.

Clark pushed the door and walked in, immediately feeling a scorching gaze. H'El's eyes flashed with scarlet light, he stared straight at Clark, his expression unprecedentedly complex.

Clark came to the life-support pod and was also sizing him up. H'El's body was full of scars, even his face was no exception, and the S-shaped logo on his chest was even carved, as if silently telling the tragic tragedies he had encountered at certain moments.

"You and Jor are very similar," H'El opened his mouth. Surprisingly, his English was very fluent, and he couldn't hear half an accent.

"Is that so? I thought our temperaments were different," Clark smiled and said, "He looks like the kind of person who goes to the library every day in college, and me? I'm just a small-town youth."

"In this respect, it's indeed not like," H'El said, "He is a scientist. Both of them are. Most of the time they are very rigorous, but there are also times when they are confused and make a mess of many things."

"It seems you love them very much," Clark sighed and said, "So you don't believe they had expected Krypton's destruction, but didn't stop it."

H'El pressed a hand on the surface of the life-support pod, his fingers tightened slightly, and said: "Before I left, that planet was already rotten to the core. I didn't care at all whether they were destroyed, I was just angry that they destroyed themselves."

"I don't know if I should say this, but to them, death doesn't mean the end," Clark shook his head gently and said, "They might be more willing to see this as a brand new and better beginning."

"You are indeed their child," H'El stared at Clark and said.

"Don't mention those past things anymore," Clark continued, "How did Brainiac tell you?"

"Zod," H'El sighed, "I didn't find them after I went back, and learned the news of the extinction of the Kryptonians. I couldn't accept this fact, so I started looking for clues to figure out what was going on. In the data control center, I found a signal record of a Kryptonian spaceship, the time shown was recent, and the source of the signal was a planet in the solar system."

"I looked up the information on this spaceship and found that it belonged to the former Kryptonian general Zod. And Jor and Zod didn't get along, accurately speaking, they were completely two kinds of people. And Zod is a lunatic, I thought he ruined everything. I had lost my reason, followed the signal to the solar system. I wanted to drag this damn bastard out immediately, so I blew up that big ball of light."

"You didn't know it was a planet?"

"I thought it was some man-made product," H'El said, "That was clearly not a planet naturally formed in the universe, I thought it was Zod's fortress."

Clark sighed—it turns out being too advanced is also a mistake. The set of equipment obtained from other universes combined with the transformation of the Green Lanterns made Mercury look almost like it had no primitive appearance. After the angry H'El found it, he thought it was built by Zod, so he punched it to pieces.

"Of course, my sanity began to be a bit unclear, and I didn't know what was going on. I have always had mental problems, just didn't expect it to break out at this time."

Clark also saw it, the H'El who recovered his reason was normal, not the emotional violent maniac, so it might just have been stimulated at the time.

"Don't talk about these," Clark pressed the button on the side, let the ice on the life-support pod thaw, opened the pod door, and then stretched out his hand to H'El and said, "You are my parents' foster son, that is my brother. But I'm sorry, reminiscing might have to wait a while, now we are facing another trouble."

"You mean that artificial intelligence?" H'El put his hand on his, jumped out of the life-support pod and said, "When my parents were still alive, I heard them talk about the mechanization transformation plan. This is not a secret on Krypton, but, I didn't have the ability to participate in it at that time."

"From the moment he showed you the Zod spaceship signal, it shows that he is not well-intentioned. According to our investigation, although my parents indulged him, he is definitely the culprit behind the destruction of the Kryptonians," Clark said.

"You want to deal with him?" H'El frowned slightly, he walked to the seat beside him and sat down, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's very difficult. The civilization on this planet under your feet is pitifully weak, much worse than the late Kryptonian civilization. That artificial intelligence inherited all the virtual heritage of Krypton and completed a thorough evolution. Even if you can defeat him, the price to pay will be terrifying."

"Of course, if it's just them, it definitely won't work, but there's us. In fact, we already have a plan, if it can succeed, not only can we defeat him, but maybe we can drag another guy who caused Krypton's destruction into the water."

"Another one?"

Clark explained to him simply how the great war back then happened. In short: because of the war for the Mother Box, Darkseid's Apokolips and the Kryptonian Star Alliance had a grudge, which eventually led to the destruction of the Kryptonian race.

After the Kryptonian race was destroyed, Darkseid still didn't feel at ease, and colluded with members of the Kryptonian Council to set a genetic trap for the Kryptonians, which eventually led to the extinction of Krypton. Although Brainiac was the one who did it, the genetic virus released by Darkseid doomed Krypton's destruction, so he was also one of the culprits.

H'El's face was a bit gloomy, seemingly thinking about something. After a long while, he looked at Clark and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I heard from Barry that your ability in time is on par with his?"

"That's a difficult kid," H'El admitted, "The way he travels through time is different from mine. If what you want is that kind of speed, then I'm afraid I can't do it."

"No, the focus this time is time."

H'El heard some dangerous factors from Clark's tone. He looked at Clark and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"We want to backtrack the time of the entire universe."
