[DC] Chapter 16: Jor-El 2
🕑 Added 2020-09-13 09:56:54 +0000 UTC
I am disappointed ... It would be an understatement to say how disappointed I am. My teacher was reduced to a crazy man who made excuses for the mistakes he created.
"Master Code, did you do that?"
Jor-El looks at me and nods. "Yes."
"What did you plan to do after hacking my artificial intelligence?" I questioned him.
Jor-El bit his lips. "I planned to throw this ship towards the sun."
… What…? Did I hear you right? Is my super hearing failing? That bastard !!!
"WHAT !? You bastard, did you plan to throw the last members of your race to death !? ” Non shouted angrily as he approached Jor-El's cell.
This time I didn't scold him; I was also shocked and angry.
“Your battalion is a death squad! He must be eliminated! ”
“You filthy traitor, this ship is not just our battalion, this ship contains civilians! This ship contains men and women who will be Krypton's future! ”
"..... What ...?" Jor-El opened his eyes in shock, he reacted as if he didn't know it.
"My Lord, please, just let me kill him, this traitor does not deserve to live." She spoke in a cold voice as her eyes shone brightly; she was angry, much angrier than when Jor-El offended her.
"Silence." I spoke in a cold voice as my vision starts to turn red. I never felt so angry; I never felt such a desire to kill someone.
I took a deep breath and sighed. "Jor-El, were you blinded by revenge? You wanted to kill me so badly, you wanted so much to kill General Zod that you would throw the rest of your race to death including your son!? "
Jor-El's face appeared to have aged several years. "I-I-I-I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know! Forgive me Kal-El." He knelt on the floor as he repeated those words.
Tsk… That deplorable sight just pissed me off more.
I took a deep breath, calmed my breathing, and controlled my emotions. I started to think. 'With the current state of Jor-El. I don't need to use the trap that I put on my artificial intelligence, this is good, the trap would destroy artificial intelligence. Creating artificial intelligence from scratch would take a long time, and with current resources, it will not be as good as the artificial intelligence that I currently have ... I will just have to reprogram all artificial intelligence to listen only to my commands, I have to increase the defenses of her system as well. ' Deciding what to do, I look at Jor-El:
“Jor-El, leader of House El, I revoke his noble status. Now, you are just a civilian who has committed treason.” Jor-El looks at me in shock. "I will delete your name from the El family tree, your son will grow up without knowing he had a father ... Perhaps, that is the best decision for Kal-El."
"You can not do that!" He shouted desperately.
"Yes, I can, and I will do that." I speak cooly with determination. "For the crimes of treason against the Kryptonians, I sentenced you to death by freezing, you will only sleep forever, you will not suffer... This will be my last act of mercy to my teacher who taught me many things, this is my last act of piety..."
"Please don't do this, I don't want to be forgotten by my son!"
I look at Faora. "Do it."
"Yes, My Lord." Faora approached Jor-El's cell. He opened the cell's control panel and clicked on a few buttons.
As soon as she clicked, a sleeping gas entered Jor-El's cell.
"N-N-No ... Kal-El … I don't want to be forgotten by my son ..."
"Don't worry, I will take care of the boy, he is innocent, he will grow up without knowing that his father was a traitor who almost condemned his race to extinction."
Jor-El soon fell into eternal sleep, an endless sleep, sleep he will never wake up from. I look at Faora, she nodded, she looked at the panel and clicked on a few more buttons.
Soon pure liquid nitrogen was spilled into Jor-El's cell.
I just watch my teacher's body being frozen, 'What an irony, the first life I took in my life was my teacher's life.' I laugh a little disparagingly, I lower my face, and my long red hair covered my eyes.
"Hahahaha." I feel like shit, my heart hurts, I squeeze my chest a little ... Suddenly, I feel water coming out of my eyes; I lightly touch my face and realize that I'm crying ...
Me crying for him? What a joke, really what a joke ... Tsk ...
Even though I said that my respect for him had died ... I still cry for him ...
I turn around, take the Kal-El incubator, take it with me, wipe my tears, and can't show weakness now, I have many things to do.
Returning to my cold expression, I say without turning back. "Faora Hu-Ul, throw his body in the sun and give his body the fate it wanted to give to all Kryptonians, and I want no one to know what happened here, was I clear?"
"Yes, My Lord!" Faora and Non said.
I suddenly realize that General Zod deserves to know what happened here. After all, he was his closest friend.
When I left the cell, I saw General Zod; it looks like he was listening to everything. "How much did you hear?" I questioned him.
"From the beginning, My Lord." General Zod said it in a respectful, melancholy tone.
I walk a little and asked without looking back. "Do you disapprove of my actions?"
"No. You did a lot better than I would ... I just wish it didn't end like this. ”
"Believe me, Zod, I didn't want to either." I say and started walking.
"Your Majesty." I look at General Zod and see him kneeling on the floor; it just means one thing, he is swearing servitude.
"Thank you very much for not making him suffer."
I nod and turn around. "He was my teacher ... even though he was a traitor." I start walking and say. "You are allowed to say goodbye."
"... Thank you."
...
General Zod looked at Rao's back. With what happened today, he finally approved of him; he now considered Rao worthy of following. Few can kill his acquaintances and stand firm after that act. He knows very well that this was a difficult decision. After all, he saw Rao grow up. He saw how attached he was to his teachers, who taught him everything.
Zod entered the cell and saw Faora and Non; seeing Faora about to send Jor-El's body to the sun, he stopped her. "Faora, give me a moment alone with my old friend?"
Faora overheard Zod and conversation Rao's, because of that, she nodded and left the cell with Non.
General Zod looked at Jor-El's body; he did not hate the man. He was his oldest friend, they had a misunderstanding of ideals, but that disagreement would not make him kill his friend.
He sat on a chair while looking at Jor-El's body. "You were a fool ... I wonder why it ended up like this?" He spoke with grief.
...
[A / N: Before you criticize General Zod's attitude, remember that before he went crazy because of Kal-El, General Zod was a man who wanted the best for Krypton, he also liked Jor-El as a close friend, because of the betrayal of Jor-El and his son that he totally went crazy. Faora's description of General Zod was correct. He was always like that, but that attitude only got out of control when he went mad. He is usually a reasonable man.]
[A / N: One thing I realized when learning about Krypton and superman is that most of the enemies of superman were he who created it for lack of attitude, Clark always had a naive mind, because of that, he just created more enemies ... a good example of this is Lex Luthor, ... Lex Luthor in his teens helped Clark with basically everything, and he just wanted to know Clark's secret, a secret that wasn't even that well hidden, after all, Clark used his power all the time. And what did Clark do? He hid it because he didn't trust Lex, Lex was always helping him.]
