American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

The Kryptonians didn't speak the same language, but Peter was prepared.

The artificial intelligence Thor within Karl is still dormant, while Friday has hacked into Thor's database and deciphered the Kryptonian language.

The nanoparticles on Peter's body formed two simultaneous translation headsets in his hands, which he handed to the Kents.

Peter spoke to Carl in Kryptonian: "Hello, Kryptonian, welcome to Earth."

Peter briefed Carl on the situation on Earth and told him that he was the official on Earth responsible for contacting extraterrestrials. He then asked Carl why he had drifted to Earth and whether he needed help.

Peter welcomes Carl's wish to live on Earth.

If Carl wants to leave Earth, Peter will also help him raise funds to repair the spaceship.

Their words were full of politeness and courtesy, and their main message was "come if you want, leave if you don't," showing absolutely no curiosity or wonder about aliens.

Krypton has been destroyed, and Thor, the artificial intelligence controlling Carl's suit, has not yet awakened. With nowhere else to go, Carl says he wants to stay on Earth for a while, at least until Thor awakens before making any further plans.

Peter stated that if Carl wanted to live on Earth, he must abide by Earth's laws and complete an observation period.

As for the observation period, he damaged the Kent family's farmland when he fell, and as compensation, he should help the Kents cultivate that plot of land.

The kind and simple-minded son of Kryptonian laborers did not take advantage of his awakened power to fly away, but instead obediently stayed on the Kent family's farm.

……

Under the scorching sun, two men are repairing a broken tractor outside a warehouse at a Kent farm.

Peter replaced the tractor's motor with a new one and gestured for Carl, who was holding the tractor up with one hand, to put it down.

Carl put down the tractor, looked at Peter, who was wearing a tank top and jeans and checking the circuit, and asked in broken English, "Peter, I heard from Martha that someone is trying to take their land. I also heard her say that you are a good person and have a lot of power. Why don't you just help them solve their problems instead of doing things with me that are not in line with your status?"

Forgive my bluntness, but on our planet, this kind of work is done by the lowest of the low, like what my parents and I did.

After checking the circuit and trying to start the tractor, Peter answered Karl's question with a mix of truth and falsehood, only after confirming that the repair was complete.

"First of all, my purpose in coming here is to complete an assessment of you and determine that you will not become a destabilizing factor that endangers human society. Doing this work is just a side effect."

Secondly, I don't know what the other ruling classes on Politicians Planet think, but I don't believe that working people are inferior; on the contrary, they are the cornerstone of this world. Every bite of food I've eaten since I was a child was earned through the labor of my Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

Finally, why did I directly help them solve their problems? That's a very good question.

The Lazarus Group has 25 armed personnel worldwide. Is that a lot? Yes, it is.

But how many people are they exploiting? The number of workers directly exploited by them exceeds five million, and the number of people systematically oppressed through their control of resources and markets exceeds five hundred million.

Jonathan and Martha are just two ordinary people among the 500 million; there are countless others who suffer far worse oppression than them.

Five hundred million oppressed people, if each of them spat on Lazarus, could drown the whole city.

Faced with systemic and brutal exploitation, they do not resist through violence or bloodshed, but instead numbly accept it, waiting for a miracle to liberate them, a miracle that does not require them to shed blood.

No one has the responsibility or the right to save them except themselves.

Karl was one of the exploited on Krypton, and Peter's words were profound. He stood there, pondering them repeatedly, before finally asking, "Then, how can I help them?"

Peter didn't answer, but instead asked, "Didn't your parents already teach you that?"

After saying that, Peter wiped the sweat from his brow, ignored Karl, and left on his own.

……

As the days went by, through their interactions, Jonathan and Martha came to regard the boy who had suddenly appeared in their lives as their own child, and Carl also accepted the adoptive parents.

As for Peter, he used the excuse of observing the habits of extraterrestrials to stay at Kent's house, occasionally helping with farm work. He was neither liked nor disliked.

Thor finally woke up, and red, dust-like sunstone crystals drifted around Karl.

At Carl's command, solar dust rose into the sky, and then drones began to fall onto the farmland.

Dark clouds quickly enveloped the farm, a bolt of lightning struck, followed by a torrential downpour.

Carl watched the raindrops falling on the farmland with a smug look on his face.

However, the roar of helicopters and armored vehicles interrupted the Kent family's joy.

"Listen up, people inside! We've received a report that someone is hiding illegal immigrants here. Please cooperate with the inspection and do not resist. Repeat, do not resist."

The Lazarus Group's hounds, mercenaries in red uniforms and silver helmets—peacemakers—rappelled from helicopters and jumped from armored vehicles, raising their weapons and aiming at the Kent family house and the Kent family and Peter watching the rain fall from the eaves.

Two peacekeepers roughly grabbed Karl and shoved him into the armored vehicle.

Jonathan pulled out his hunting rifle from the house, but a peacekeeper snatched it away and smashed the butt of the rifle into Jonathan's chin, knocking him unconscious.

Karl overturned the peacekeeper who was holding him down and slapped the armored vehicle next to him away.

His sudden burst of power did not frighten Lazarus's henchmen; they pointed their guns at Karl.

Karl wanted to do something more, but Thor, the artificial intelligence inside the armor, stopped him.

Thor's underlying logic is to continue the bloodline of the El family, not to put Karl in danger, even if a few broken guns don't really pose a threat.

The armor that helped Karl regulate the solar energy in his body has now become a constraint on him. Thor has taken control of the armor, and if the conflict continues to escalate, he will take Karl and soar into the sky.

"Help me, Peter!" Carl shouted to Peter, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines.

Mr. Parker was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see such sad things happen, so he took out his phone and made a call.

"Hey, Lei Xiaogu, I've got my eye on this guy and this land. Why don't you be kind and let me have it?"

On the other end of the phone, the chairman of the Lazarus Group, the "Devil King" who had lived for hundreds of years, responded to Peter, the guy who had been constantly vying with the Lazarus Group for profits and market share in recent years, with only two words: "F*ck you!"

Hearing the busy tone on his phone, Peter dialed another number, gritting his teeth as he said, "These aren't ordinary capitalists anymore; we have to strike hard. One-sided attack, move out!"
