While Saber, Clark and Captain America were fighting against the invading Kryptonian warriors, something unusual was happening elsewhere on Earth.
"Catherine, don't put your feet on the table. A lady shouldn't do that!"
Mrs. Kent was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hand. When she saw Catherine standing still, she warned her. The little girl pursed her lips, but obediently put her feet down. Jesse, the shepherd dog who came to Gotham with the old lady, had become the collective pet of the girls. He obediently squatted by their feet, looking forward to the snacks that would fall from time to time.
The mistress of the house, Selena, was preparing lunch. Because of the soap opera, the room was filled with the laughter of the maids, which filled the room with joy. Lady Kent, who had been lonely for half her life, liked this kind of environment very much, and this good-natured and witty old lady had also won the trust of the maids, led by Catherine, after half a month of getting along with her.
Most of the children who came to Saber's place lacked family ties. Otherwise, they would not have followed Saber to The Devil Gang. Saber had always treated The Devil Gang like a family. The appearance of Mrs. Kent filled the subtle feelings in Catherine's heart after her father's death. In fact, the old lady who treated them like children every night and told them stories to sleep easily entered their hearts.
There was a saying that behind every bad child, there was a pitiful child who looked forward to being cared for.
"I say, Martha, did you really find Clark on the farm?"
Catherine turned her head in a very cute posture and looked at Mrs. Kent. Her smooth golden hair fell over her shoulders, adding a touch of beauty to the little girl who was already an adult. Mrs. Kent smiled in response to her question.
"Of course, my little cutie. This is the thirteenth time you've asked me this question. My precious son was discovered by my husband and I one night on our farm. That strange mechanical creation, perhaps an alien spaceship. When it opened, we saw the cute baby."
The old lady stretched out her hand and gestured.
"He was probably only this big at the time … maybe even smaller. It was like the best gift from God. I slept beside his cradle every night, watching him breathe with difficulty. Sometimes I worried for him. I worried that every time he breathed so hard, it would hurt him, but he grew up healthy."
Her eyes were filled with moving emotion as she said in a low voice:
"You know what? Little Catherine, watching your most precious baby grow up healthily is the best thing that can happen to you in your life. "
"But Martha, have you thought about it? If Clark finds his people, he might leave you. "
The girl with short hair, Emma, sat beside Mrs. Kent. She reached out and held the old lady's hand. She whispered, "Martha, why don't you stop him? Perhaps you can keep him by your side forever if you don't tell him the truth. "
"Emma!"
Clarice, who had three blue emblems on her forehead, patted her companion's waist unhappily. She whispered, "Don't say such cruel things. Martha is such a good person, she'll definitely be lucky. I don't think Clark is the kind of person who would abandon his family."
"It's fine! If he wants to leave, then let him! "
Catherine waved her hand and said domineeringly, "Martha, you can stay in Gotham. If Clark dares to abandon you, we'll beat him up! Bring him back and let him apologize to you! "
"Alright, girls, don't try to comfort me."
Mrs. Kent was amused by these words. She laughed and hugged the three girls in her arms. She shook her body and said gently.
"What reason do I have to stop my son from finding his real parents? If we hide it from him, that would be the greatest injustice to him. Besides, I've watched my Clark grow up with my own eyes. I know what he'll do. I've always known that my Clark will change this world one day. He's destined to be great. "
"Swoosh."
As soon as Mrs. Kent finished speaking, the television screen in front of her suddenly turned into a flurry of static.
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Kent turned to look at Catherine. "Is the signal in Gotham this bad?"
"No!"
Catherine's cute little nose twitched. "The people in Gotham's information management center wouldn't dare to cut off The Devil Gang's network. This must be … must be a problem."
"Swoosh."
The image changed again. A blurry face appeared on the flurry of static. It was like a face that appeared after a strong interference. The details of the face couldn't be seen clearly. Only the mouth could be seen speaking.
"You … are not … alone."
"You … are not … alone."
The signal was terrible, but these two sentences appeared on the television screen in the form of letters. Catherine's eyes widened. Emma took out her phone and was also dumbfounded. Her phone also had the same two sentences. The worst part was:
"What the hell! My phone wasn't even turned on! "
Emma held her head and screamed. She threw the phone to the ground. Even if one person could destroy a fortress, the Alpha-grade mutant Emma was still a girl. Girls were naturally sensitive to supernatural events.
"No! Girls, look over there! "
Hearing the noise, Selina walked out of the kitchen and took off the apron around her waist. Behind her, the former agent, Plum, subconsciously took out her custom-made phone. The phone had been encrypted seven times, and there were also two lines of text on it.
"Something's not right …"
Plum said in a low voice, "Catherine, go check on Felicity. She must know what the problem is."
As soon as the new housekeeper Plum finished speaking, the living room door was pushed open. The senior otaku with messy hair, the top hacker Felicity, walked out in her pajamas. She was dumbfounded. She pushed up her glasses.
"I've tracked the signal. Guess where it came from?"
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at Felicity. She spread her hands and said in a voice that even she couldn't believe.
"Space … To be precise, the back of the moon … a celestial body moving at high speed around the moon's orbit!"
Looking at the confused looks on the others' faces, Felicity decided to give a more direct answer.
"Aliens! Do you understand? This is an alien talking to us! "
"Oh … Cool!"
Catherine opened her mouth and said a meaningless exclamation. She subconsciously looked at Mrs. Kent. Everyone present knew that this lady had an alien adopted son.
"They're here … They're here for my son …"
Mrs. Kent's hands and feet were cold. If Emma hadn't held her, she would have fallen.
"Swoosh!"
The image in front of them changed again. The face became clearer. At the same time, his words changed. He no longer repeated the two sentences mechanically. He coughed lightly and said in a serious voice.
"Earthling … My name is Zod. I come from a distant world. I crossed the sea of stars and came here because of one of my people.
"Heh heh … He lives among you. Due to some special reasons, he might hide his existence from you. You may or may not know about it, but it doesn't matter. Now, I ask you to hand him over to me … If you're lucky enough to find out about his whereabouts, then congratulations, the fate of Earth is in your hands."
"My fellow Earthling, Carl Eyre, if you heard this, then I have to warn you. No matter how much you try to integrate into the lives of these Earthlings, you have to know one thing in the end. You are very similar to them, but you are not one of them. Your bloodline is more noble. This is your true home."
"Come out and face me in 24 hours, or the weak world behind you will suffer the consequences!"
"Kryptonians … always keep their promises!"
BOOM!
As soon as his voice fell, a ball of flame fell from the sky and landed in the no man's land of the Pacific Ocean. It was like a heavenly fire that fell from the sky. In an instant, millions of tons of seawater evaporated into thin air. After the light dimmed, the seawater flowed backward. In an instant, a sea eye appeared in the center of the Pacific Ocean. This scene was so shocking that more than half of the world's people saw the pillar of fire falling from the sky. There were some people who saw it even more clearly.
"Report the results immediately!"
The moment Fury saw the pillar of fire falling, he jumped up from his chair, grabbed the phone on the table, and roared, "Damn it, I want to see him. Scout as soon as possible!"
In less than 10 seconds, a high-definition picture of a military satellite appeared on the electronic screen in front of Fury. The terrible black sea eye pierced his mind like a burning needle, and the leader of SHIELD could not help but clench his teeth.
"These lunatics …"
"Fury!"
The door of the office was violently pushed open, and Pierce walked into the director's office anxiously. He looked around and lowered his voice.
"What happened just now? 'Who the hell is this Zod?' The World Security Council's phone was ringing 10 seconds ago, and the governments of various countries are waiting for news. Don't tell me you don't know what's going on. And why didn't our military satellite find any trace of them? "
"We can't find them, Pierce!"
Fury glanced at his old boss, suppressed his inner emotions, and said calmly, "Our last request to launch a satellite with energy detection was rejected by your group of directors on the grounds that it was a weapon of mass destruction. It is impossible to detect the traces of such intergalactic aliens with these old models of equipment."
"Okay, okay! I knew it. Those idiots can't do anything good! "
Pierce waved his fist angrily. He took a deep breath and looked at Fury. "That Carl Eyre, the clansman named Zod. Do you know him?"
"Of course I know … but I don't intend to return him!"
Fury, of course, knew what Pierce meant. He rebuffed Pierce. "Before SHIELD's defense is destroyed and the Heavenly Sword Bureau's attack is thwarted, Earth can't just surrender like this!"
"We are not a low-level civilization that can declare sovereignty just by throwing a few shells at Earth."
Fury's eyes flashed. "Otherwise, what's the point of the existence of SHIELD and the Heavenly Sword Bureau? Pierce, help me stabilize the rear. The other party has declared war. We still have 24 hours to prepare. This will be the first interstellar war of Earth's civilization!"
Fury's decisiveness made Pierce silent for a moment. He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and looked at it. He shook his head.
"The Heavenly Sword Bureau's answer is exactly the same as yours. You are really a group of war maniacs."
"In times of war, war maniacs are a kind of reputation."
A smile appeared on Fury's face. He lowered his voice and said, "In the face of this situation, Pierce, can the important research that has been put on hold be restarted?"
"You mean, the Tesseract?"
Pierce narrowed his eyes. In a place where Fury could not see, a touch of joy jumped in his eyes. He pretended to be silent for a few seconds and finally nodded slowly.
"I can give you the authorization, Fury, but if something goes wrong, you have to stand up and take the blame. Do you understand what I mean?"
"That's enough!"
Fury and Pierce reached a consensus. He sat back in his chair. He reached out and pressed a few buttons on the computer. A clear picture appeared in front of him.
It was the battlefield under the arctic ice sheet. Three Kryptonian soldiers were pierced by burning spears at the top of the ice dome. Below, the demonized Saber was holding down the strongest commander and beating him up. Clark and Captain America were also facing their opponents. Behind them, a complete Kryptonian spaceship stayed quietly under the ice.
Looking at the spaceship that looked like a giant steel worm, Fury rubbed his forehead.
"War … War is the catalyst for the evolution of civilization …"
"Hill, let the Helicarrier prepare for the confrontation outside the planet. Connect a special window and guide the Heavenly Sword Bureau guards into the Helicarrier. Inform Professor X, Tony, Robert, War Machine, and Quicksilver to get ready."
"The war has begun!"
