"This world has become unfamiliar to me."
A hoarse, sharp voice, like fingernails scraping against metal, sent chills down the spine.
In the woods of Fawcett City's central park, three figures emerged from the shadows. One was a tall, thin young man in a suit, hands in his pockets, his expression sullen. His voice, filled with arrogant nobility, carried a hint of displeasure, as if he couldn't wait to destroy everything that made him uncomfortable.
"Oddly shaped houses, metal boxes racing down the streets... I still prefer Earth when it was covered in lava."
A tall, burly man with eyes rimmed by lava-red fire emanated a brutal aura. His voice was deep and resonant: "After being sealed for tens of thousands of years, our world has been drastically changed by humans."
He looked at the last person on the other side and asked, "Ras, why do you three brothers only occupy one human body?"
His hair was disheveled like weeds, and he looked somewhat deranged, like a street-dwelling elder who often got high. His blood-red eyes pulsed as three voices spoke from within his body.
"Haven't you heard?
There are beings called superheroes on this planet now. Some of them possess power comparable to ours, capable of splitting mountains with a punch and tearing the earth with a wave of their hand."
He looked at the man in the suit with his hands in his pockets.
"Yustu, you, who can transform into others by touch and gain their memories, should know best."
"Are you referring to this Justice League you speak of?
Are you afraid, brothers Ras?" Yustu, one of the Five Ancient Demons who once ravaged and ruled this planet, retorted with a cold laugh.
"The magic you wield instills fear and dread even in the gods, yet you fear those who know nothing of magic."
"Ras, you may be afraid, but I, Cletus, fear no one!"
The Ancient Demon Cletus, occupying the strong Black man's body, slammed his chest forcefully. The lava-like fire in his eyes seemed ready to erupt at any moment and destroy this world he disliked.
"I will return the world to its original state, the way it was when we ruled it!"
"Not everyone has the ability to grow stronger the more they are beaten," the twin demonic brothers, who had concentrated their power into a single body, said sinisterly.
"But to make me fear those hairless monkeys, those superheroes called Transcendent and Superman, is not enough.
I can't wait to destroy the world ruled by humans!"
"Cletus, begin," Yustu urged impatiently. "Use your scimitar and return the world to its original state."
"Hahaha, fire, lava, endless red wasteland, return!"
Cletus roared with laughter, drawing a long, curved lava scimitar from behind him and plunging it into the ground, prying it open.
A lava volcano emitting terrifying heat rapidly bulged up beneath the three of them, lifting them towards the sky. It broke through the soil of the forest, burning the trees to ashes. Sulfur drifted in all directions with the ashes, obscuring the sun, creating a terrifying doomsday scene!
"What is that?"
The ground rumbled, and people in the park looked up in terror, screaming.
"A volcano? How can there be a volcano here?
A volcano is about to erupt!"
"Run!"
Listening to the terrified screams of the people, the five Ancient Demons burst into laughter.
"Cry, scream, your human doomsday has arrived!!"
They were going to create a supervolcano, letting lava engulf the entire world, returning the planet to its primitive state!
As for superheroes, they were all Ancient Demons who had ruled their respective domains in the primitive era. Kings don't meet kings, yet today they gathered for one purpose. What on this planet could possibly stop them now?
Not even gods!
...
"Although the style is a bit ancient, this is a Kryptonian spaceship."
In the extreme environment of the North Pole, where the howling wind could freeze steel into brittle biscuits, the sound of a person speaking could be heard.
A massive black ship lay quietly on the vast expanse of ice and snow like a giant beast.
Kara recognized the origin of the ship with surprise.
She had followed David and Clark here to verify the truth of their words.
If what they said was true, the young man who called himself Kal might be her only remaining relative in the world. And the other young man, whom even the yellow sun she had been exposed to couldn't defeat, was, according to 'Kal', his younger brother.
"There's more than one Kryptonian ship here."
Clark, facing his first blood relative he could communicate with, smiled warmly and pointed towards Kara, gesturing behind the blizzard-swept Fortress of Solitude.
"Use your super vision."
Kara's gaze projected outwards, into the vast expanse of wind and snow. David reminded her, "Focus your attention, control it with your mind."
Possessing the bloodline of the House of El, Supergirl Kara's potential was not as great as the special Clark's, but it was still far beyond that of an ordinary Kryptonian. With a little guidance after learning to fly, she quickly awakened her remaining abilities.
Following David's instructions, Kara focused her vision and indeed saw the space carrier hidden by the snowstorm.
"This... is this the flagship of the Kryptonian fleet?"
Surprise and disbelief washed over her face. Compared to the exploration ships Krypton had sent tens of thousands of years ago, the flagship before her felt more familiar.
"Why is it docked here?"
Logically, every Kryptonian flagship represented a massive Kryptonian fleet!
"Before you, other Kryptonians have arrived on Earth via spacecraft," David said.
"Zod and his subordinates wanted to destroy Earth and rebuild Krypton. David and I stopped them."
Mentioning Zod, Clark, as a Kryptonian, clenched his fist, a complex expression flashing across his face as he explained the origin of the Kryptonian flagship.
"What did you say, you repelled Zod?!"
Kara wondered if she had misheard.
Although she was born into the renowned ancient noble House of El on Krypton, before its destruction, she was merely a university student about to graduate.
And what was Zod's status? He was Krypton's supreme military commander, in charge of all Kryptonian armies. Ruthless and cold, his name was enough to make children cry, and his prestige on Krypton was unparalleled.
Two young men, barely college-aged, repelled Krypton's strongest general?
"Not repelled, he was too insane. David had to kill him."
Clark shook his head.
As one of the last surviving Kryptonians, if Zod hadn't been so stubborn about destroying Earth, he could have lived. The outcome would have been to be imprisoned along with his subordinates, not to be killed.
Kara's mouth opened, rendering her speechless with shock.
She gained a deeper understanding of the young man before her.
"Let's go, unless you both have a particular fondness for standing in the howling cold wind."
David waved to the two who had been standing outside the Fortress of Solitude for a long time without entering.
He didn't think Zod was worth lingering outside to discuss for another moment.
Although they couldn't feel the cold, the howling wind sounded rather irritating, especially since all three had unusually sensitive senses.
They entered the spacecraft.
"Kara?"
Jor-El appeared immediately in holographic form. He examined his niece, whom he had thought he would never see again, with a complex expression mixed with a hint of joy.
"Uncle?"
Kara's eyes widened.
The two, reunited after a long time, spoke at length. Jor-El asked about Kara's family before Krypton's explosion. At the time, the situation had been too urgent for him to attend to his brother's family.
During their conversation, Jor-El recounted many of their past experiences. Kara finally believed that Clark was the 'little Kal' she remembered holding just three days before Krypton's destruction.
Having survived Krypton's explosion and unexpectedly finding her last remaining relatives after twenty years on an alien planet, Kara was overcome with joy and wept.
The three exchanged glances, secretly deciding not to tell her about Zod-El for now.
Beep beep!
Having found the relative she thought she'd never see again, Kara had many questions. But at this moment, David and Clark's Lantern Rings suddenly lit up, emitting a series of notification sounds.
The rings flashed urgently. David and Clark exchanged a look; a global crisis had occurred, and the Alliance was requesting their aid.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Kara asked curiously from the side.
