Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 473 Sunstone Core

As Tony set off towards the sun, Joey, Batman, and Sinestro headed in the opposite direction and soon collided head-on with the Kryptonian fleet.

It was called a fleet, but in reality it consisted of only a few cruisers and shuttles of moderate size.

Perhaps because modern Kryptonians don't really need spaceships, their spaceships aren't built as grand as the Dark Star, the flagship of Ronan the Accuser, which Joey encountered earlier.

Within Joey's field of vision, what he observed was that most of the ships were not even equipped with ultra-long-range firepower projection facilities such as naval guns, but only with things like plasma cannons whose range was considered close combat on an astronomical scale in space.

That's not surprising. Joey did the math and realized that the Kryptonians had only been expanding from a self-enclosed state for the last twenty years, and many things were not yet fully prepared.

Moreover, they had now learned how to fully utilize their advantage under the yellow sunlight, so the sophistication of their spaceship's weapons was no longer important.

Seeing the distance between them rapidly closing, Joey immediately fired a heat beam at the spaceship's outer shield, giving the other side a warning.

However, the three of them did not receive the expected barrage of fire. Instead, the dozens of spaceships neatly shut down their sub-light speed engines and anchored in place.

One by one, Kryptonians flew out.

"Beating to death by a bunch of Kryptonians." Sinestro looked at the Kryptonian army, which numbered nearly a thousand, and couldn't help but give a bitter laugh: "I used to wonder if this was how I would die."

"Don't worry, you'll survive. This battle probably won't even start."

That's what he said, but Joey had already instinctively moved his wrists, and the radiation of his bio-field began to gradually increase with an unstable trend. He was ready to go all out.

Doomsday's inner influence on Joey never touched his conscious mind; at least, it didn't turn him into a monster driven by a killing instinct.

However, this does not mean that it has no impact at all, especially since the birth of Doomsday was basically a process of constant fighting with all species in the Kryptonian ecosystem.

Just as most humans have an innate fear of snake-shaped objects, the gathering of so many Kryptonian creatures that are showing hostility towards them has fully activated the natural hostility that belongs to Doomsday.

"Don't get agitated, son!"

After many Kryptonians emerged from the spaceship, Jor-El finally arrived. He flew out of the larger flagship's central hatch, dismissed his guards, and approached without hesitation.

Even though his super vision showed that Joey's overflowing energy was unstable, Joe Al still came over and affectionately hugged Joey's shoulder: "Your body still has a little problem, but it's okay, the two of us, father and son, can handle it together."

Joey's face turned cold, and she shook off her own father's hand: "What exactly do you want?"

He dared not listen to Old Deng's words again. He was the one who was all smiles during the Earth Collision Crisis, but he was also the one who immediately exposed the whole thing.

Saying one thing and doing another has become a common tactic of Jor-El.

"I told you what I wanted a long time ago."

Joe Al didn't directly explain the purpose of all his actions: "As for those countdowns, it's just to ensure that everyone on both Earths has the right to know."

"Would you like to come in?"

Joe El gestured for the spaceship behind him to proceed: "Considering that the raw materials for these spaceships are all from Krypton, this can be considered your first time setting foot on your home planet since you left home."

Joey initially wanted to shake his head; he definitely didn't want to go. But he was persuaded by Joe Al's words: "Come on, we can have a good talk, a conversation between father and son."

It wasn't that he really wanted to talk to Joe El about family matters or ancestral ties; Joe El was just a stranger he'd met a few times.

Instead, he suppressed the boiling fighting instinct in his blood, calmed down, and realized that he needed time.

If we can't talk to Joe Al about the father-son game, then what should we talk about?

Battle situation?

Joey exchanged a glance with Batman and Sinestro, then nodded: "Okay."

Hopefully, things will be settled with Tony soon, otherwise he'll have to keep playing the son here.

After the three entered the spacecraft, a medical officer who was waiting nearby immediately handed them an oxygen mask.

This is one of their medical experiences—because Kal'El is not the only Kryptonian child who was stranded on an alien planet from a young age.

The atmosphere adapted to Kryptonians contains special elements not found on ordinary planets, which poses a danger to these individuals who have grown up under the yellow sun for a long time.

When these special Chlorinians come into contact with elements from Krypton for the first time, they often experience severe allergic reactions, which can even be life-threatening if left untreated.

Joey waved his hand, declining the breathing mask, and walked out of the airtight compartment with a normal expression: "No need, thank you."

Krypton's steel, Krypton's elements, Krypton's atmosphere—Joey can proudly say that no one understands these things better than him.

In his dream, he could even breathe normally in the extremely toxic atmosphere of ancient Krypton, let alone the incredibly mild atmosphere of today.

As for steel and elements—thanks to a certain crazy Kryptonian woman, his first death was caused by Kryptonian metal.

"Welcome to Krypton." Seeing this, Jor-El nodded to himself—this was his perfect son!

"Then, son—"

After they were seated, Jor-El didn't shy away from Batman and Iron Man, stating his purpose directly: "We've come to the final moment. In any case, it's time, and we must, discuss the problems of Earth."

"Just like I said before, what I want has never changed."

Jor-El reminded his son what he was fighting for: "I want to make Kryptonians no longer a mortal race. I want—the Anti-Life Equation."

Just as Joe Al finished speaking, a milky white light flashed between the two Earths that were about to collide, and something that had been prepared in the phantom space entered the material universe.

Two giant meteorites, resembling diamonds, streaked across the sky, crashing one after the other in New York and Metropolitan Area.

If Joey were there, he would recognize what this large, shimmering white crystal was—Kryptonite, Sunstone.
