We Shall Go to Earth

The "Sun God" Clark spoke of stood in the command room of the spaceship, silently observing the external footage displayed by the AI.

On the screen, the special forces were on high alert, surrounding the ship.

Simultaneously, the Metropolis Police Department dispatched nearby units to reinforce, even diverting personnel originally handling LexCorp's building and city damage to the ship's vicinity.

The research facility jointly managed by LexCorp and the U.S. government, built near the ship, was forcibly evicted by the awakened vessel.

The scientists in white lab coats stood frozen in the distance, their faces filled with terror as they watched the glowing energy field swirling around the ship.

Among them, a particularly noticeable Asian scholar anxiously turned to his supervisor.

"Even when Lex had control of this ship, it wasn't this active. Someone must have gained core access, bringing it fully to life!"

"You're right, and we've probably seen that person in the news!"

The supervisor whispered in response.

"Cai, I suspect it's the being that appeared with the monster before.

Compared to the unstable Doomsday, that entity's structure is remarkably stable. It must have been in the ship for a long time!

Our current technology can't breach the ship to find it.

But recently, it awakened and fought alongside Superman against the monster.

And now, the warrior has returned home!"

At this, the supervisor glanced deeply at the Asian scholar.

"Cai, working with you has been great, but our project is likely to be shut down.

What a shame!"

"Yes, Mr. Silas, what a shame.

But the Federation probably has no time for us now that our project is gone.

This ship will keep them busy for a while, won't it?"

"Yes, indeed."

After their conversation, the two scholars set aside their concerns about the project, joining the others in silently observing the awakened Kryptonian fortress ahead.

Meanwhile, Heisenberg issued a command within the ship.

"AI, establish a communication channel across the universe and even the Phantom Zone. I want my message to reach every Kryptonian's ears!"

"Acknowledged, please wait."

The AI promptly responded, and dozens of particle-composed tentacles extended from the walls.

Simultaneously, a modest metallic control console rose from the center of the command room, operated by the tentacles.

Moments later, a silver-gray metallic frame lit up before Heisenberg.

The AI's head glowed blue, and as the light fell on Heisenberg, his 3D image appeared within the frame.

"Please begin your message, Heisenberg."

"Hmm."

Heisenberg nodded, then looked at his silver-gray counterpart.

The metallic figure mirrored his gaze.

"I am Heisenberg, the 64th member of the Kryptonian Elder Council, heir to the Kryptonian divine bloodline, and former Chief Elder.

After 18,000 years of slumber, I awaken to learn that Krypton has perished.

But I will not allow my planet to vanish from the universe!

All surviving Kryptonians, upon receiving this message, are to gather at the signal's location immediately. This is an order and our future.

I will find you!"

With these words, Heisenberg nodded, concluding his command.

Upon receiving confirmation, the AI transmitted the message, though it encountered a hurdle.

"Lord Heisenberg, the ship's current energy is insufficient to send the message through the Phantom Zone. Shall I activate the energy extraction system to harvest the planet's core energy?"

"No, connect the energy system to me. My bioenergy will temporarily replace natural resources."

As Heisenberg spoke, a tentacle swiftly coiled around his wrist.

Countless floating particles gathered around him, forming a reclining chair in midair.

"Commander, please rest. The nutrient system is ready for injection. Shall I proceed?"

"No need."

Heisenberg shook his head. With his constitution and internal energy, powering a ship hardly required nutrient injections.

In the next moment, crimson energy surged into the ship, flames and light flowing through the tentacle into the message.

Thus, Heisenberg's message was officially transmitted!

…

In a Kansas farm's hidden underground warehouse, a small spaceship flickered with crimson fluorescence.

Within the glow, a silver miniature figure of Heisenberg repeated his earlier command.

…

In the Phantom Zone, aboard Krypton's last mothership, Fiona lay in bed, her face somber.

Three months ago, during their journey to Earth, they suffered a crushing defeat and lost their leader—General Zod.

This was unbearable for Fiona and the scattered Kryptonian warriors.

Especially after Kal-El's counterattack, countless kin perished, and many scholars were lost in the wormhole.

Fiona felt utterly defeated, unsure of her next move.

Should they continue gathering energy to leap back to Earth?

Unfortunately, as the military's deputy commander, she lacked Zod's authority to command the remaining scientists.

Those scholars, genetically focused on science, lacked the warriors' resilience.

After Zod's death, they became despondent, refusing to follow her orders.

Should she force them, as Zod once did?

Fiona hesitated. Her genes marked her as a commander's assistant, skilled at suggesting but never deciding.

Yes, it was absurd. Krypton's society had become a hive-like structure, with innate genetic assignments dictating everything.

Only a few top families, like the Els, had the privilege and ability to leave genetic backdoors, allowing their descendants to transcend limitations and embrace the unknown.

But how many families like the Els existed on Krypton?

Just then, a warrior from the General's Guard approached Fiona, excitement on his face.

"Deputy Commander, our ship has received the Elder Council's supreme command. Please come to the command center immediately!!!"

"What? The Elder Council? How is that possible?!"

Fiona bolted upright from the bed, rushing toward the command room.

As she burst through the door, she saw not General Zod but a stranger in his place.

Yet, the stranger's words instantly gave her direction.

After hearing Heisenberg's command, she grabbed the remaining General's Guard.

"Summon the remaining scientists. We must restart our engines. Even if we have to carry our ship, we'll reach our leader!"

Fiona paused, then turned to another subordinate.

"Has the message's origin been verified? Has Heisenberg's Elder status and Rao's bloodline proof been confirmed? Are the supreme command's file numbers valid? I need answers!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates sprang into action. Soon, Krypton's last three scientists were dragged into the command room.

Facing the fierce warriors, the scholars disdainfully rose from the ground, but before they could curse, they were silenced by Heisenberg's looping image.

Moments later, the lead scholar's eyes widened in excitement.

"He's alive, he's alive, hahaha!!!"

His laughter prompted the other two scientists to stare in awe.

Remember, Zod's current followers were Kryptonian criminals thawed from the Phantom Zone prison after Krypton's destruction.

Among those criminals, the scholars were primarily guilty of genetic crimes.

Who among these genetic enthusiasts wouldn't know the infamous Doomsday creator, Heisenberg?!

Beside the scholars, Fiona wondered at their euphoria.

Before she could ask, her subordinates presented the supreme command verification and data on the Kryptonian divine bloodline's reappearance.

She instantly joined the scholars' euphoria!

In minutes, this group of near-zombie Kryptonian refugees erupted into fervent construction.

They planned to dismantle the ship's living quarters and detonate them to fuel the leap drive system.

What were living quarters but places to rest briefly?

If it meant reaching their leader and finding Krypton's future, they'd sacrifice even themselves!

Facing her reinvigorated subordinates and the enduring silver figure in the command room, Fiona was the first to dismantle her living quarters. She'd never return to that lifeless place.

Before leading her team to their leader, she'd remain in the command room, near the new god's image.

This wasn't just her hope but an entire race's, their future!

…

In the vast Phantom Zone, within Fort Rozz, Astra gazed at the small spaceship as she had for decades.

The Phantom Zone wasn't monolithic. Not everyone awakened by Krypton's destruction followed Zod, especially those with the surname El, like Astra.

At that moment, Astra was stunned to see the long-unseen supreme command appear before her.

Moments later, she listened in shock to Heisenberg's words.

After verifying the message's authenticity, her expression turned excited.

For decades, she'd pinned her hopes on her niece, Kara Zor-El.

But now, she had new hope!

Compared to Kara, the future of Krypton's newborn, Heisenberg's past and present deeds filled her with confidence.

As for Heisenberg's past crimes, as Astra told her subordinates,

"Since Elder Heisenberg has acquired Rao's bloodline in the unknown, his sins should have vanished with his glory.

Moreover, the Elder Council that condemned him is gone, and even Krypton no longer exists.

Now, the Kryptonian New God, embodying past and present, is the future we must pursue!

I want Fort Rozz to prepare early. We'll leave this damned Phantom Zone ahead of schedule.

The future is before us!!!"

"But what about the girl? Our original plan centered around her!"

Hearing this, Astra commanded decisively,

"Seize Kara's ship. The future will need every Kryptonian with our bloodline.

I'll bring her to our new leader. We'll reach the signal's source. We must go to Earth!!!"
