🕑 Added 2020-09-22 15:22:58 +0000 UTC
“Jor-El! How long did you know that Krypton would explode!? ”
The artificial intelligence looks at me and answers me. "Six months ... I noticed an unnatural occurrence in the core of the planet, when I investigated it, I found that Krypton's time was running out."
"What ...?" Faora and Non said in disbelief.
"Six months ... Hahahaha ... Six months ..." I start to laugh in anger, my eyes start to react to my anger and my vision starts to turn red.
I take a deep breath several times, I try to control my anger ... If there is only one thing that can make me deeply angry is when it comes to the survival of my race, this is a weakness of mine. I cannot let myself be carried away by emotions, I learned this mistake earlier from Jor-El.
As the ruler of Krypton, my people are my weakness, I get angry easily when they are put in danger.
As I consider my teachers to be important people to me, I also let myself be carried away by emotions when they are put in danger, or when they betray me.
This is also a weakness of mine. Understanding about my weakness, the next step to do is to fight to correct them.
'I am a genius, I am Krypton's perfect creation, I can control my feelings easily.'
I take a deep breath several times ...
I look at the floor and soon I see my eyes that were a bright red tint become a cold blue.
I look back at Jor-El. "Tell me, why didn't you do anything to save Krypton?"
"You don't have access to that information."
I nod and walk over to a control panel, open the artificial intelligence command codes and start changing her it’s codes at high speed.
“Error, Error. Detecting changes ... ”Before the artificial intelligence can do anything, I replaced all of its codes.
"From now on, I have the greatest authority over you. I want you to answer all of my questions and don't omit any information."
"Yes, My Lord." Jor-El said as he knelt down.
"Why didn't you do anything to save Krypton?"
"I came to the conclusion that Krypton was destined to be extinguished, we had no salvation, because of that, I planned a plan to save my entire family."
"... Are you telling me that you planned to let your people die while saving only your family?"
I hear the sound of Faora's and Non's teeth grinding, they were very angry, I don't judge them, I'm also angry, but I'm controlling myself.
"You are right and wrong at the same time. I planned to recreate the Kryptonians when I arrived on this planet, I was not going to abandon my people."
"I see ... I want to know why you were obsessed with your son."
“Kal-El is the first naturally born baby in Krypton, therefore he is not controlled from birth. He is free, he can grow and become what he wants, I was planning to give him the Codex as a guarantee that he could revive our race. ”
It was how I thought ...
"... Were you obsessed with him just for that?"
"Yes."
Bullshit. From my point of view, Kal-El is important, but he is only important because he is a Kryptonian, and because we are few in numbers.
If I create a baby tomorrow, it will have the same level of importance as Kal-El for me.
Kryptonians are few in numbers, because of that, I value every member who survived, because of that, I value Kryptonian babies.
"What is the inheritance you were planning to give Kal-El?"
Artificial intelligence points to the crystals that were floating. "These crystals contain all the knowledge of the universe known by Krypton, these crystals also have all knowledge of the history of Krypton, this is a record of everything we know."
It seems that Jor-El had the same idea as me, I also have these crystals on the main ship.
Jor-El points to a spot, and I see a black uniform from house El. "That would be Kal-El's uniform when he was an adult."
"I also planned to give him a personal robot to meet his needs."
If Kal-El were the only Kryptonian alive, and he had the Codex, he would have enough resources to recreate our race.
But I wonder if the Kal-El that was created by humans would think so, if I hadn't intervened, he would have been raised by that Kent couple, he would think that humans are the race that he should protect, I wonder if that Kal-El would fight for his race?
His race that has the same powers as him? I wonder if he could manage these powerful beings?
I shake my head several times in denial, this is impossible, his mentality would be different, he would never do that.
Jor-El didn't predict everything, just like artificial intelligence said, he planned to evacuate his whole family, he thought he would be alive to guide Kal-El, but he wasn't ...
He was naive ...
I look at artificial intelligence with my cold eyes. "Don't say sorry, you just gave up on your race and prepared a plan to get away with just your family, you're worse than rubbish." I said with disgust.
"You wouldn't understand me ... On the day that you're a father, maybe you can understand me."
“Wrong, I understand you ... You were desperate, right? You wanted to save your family, because of that, you made that plan. ”
Jor-El opens his eyes widely.
“I understand you, but at the same time, I disapprove of your actions. Don't make a fool of yourself, you were not just a normal Kryptonian who could just run and survive without being able to do anything to help. You had the power and authority to command thousands of people, and you didn't use that power to save as many people as possible members of your own race. You selfishly decided that you should just save your family. ”
"..."
“With great responsibility comes great power. That was the phrase you always said to me ... You did not know how to use that power, you did not know how to use your authority, because of that, you executed the most foolish decision possible ... The consequences of your foolish decision is billions of Kryptonian lives lost. ”
I turn to the control panel. “You disappointed me, Jor-El. I respected you for being an intelligent man, but at the most critical moment of your race, you abandoned it and made a decision based on your feelings. ”
I start typing at high speed, and soon I erase all the artificial intelligence on this ship.
I look at the image of Jor-El that was fading. "I hope I never have the displeasure of seeing you again."
Jor-El gives a small smile that surprises me a little.
"... You grew up Little Emperor ..."
Soon, it disappears.

Finally, I finished the Jor-El saga, I expressed my whole brain to make it feel as much as possible. The next saga will be Rao building his empire, this one will be longer. I will try not to make it boring. Soon the second world war will start on Earth, I wonder how Rao will react to this news, hehehe.
