"Hey! Wait, I know it's you calling me!" Clark couldn't help but shout as the figure disappeared around the corner again.
Unfortunately, that figure seemed to be guiding him to a certain part of the spaceship and didn't stop at his words, so Clark could only quicken his pace to follow.
As he advanced, Clark discovered a life pod stored in the spaceship, which contained skeletal remains that had turned to dust.
When he saw the remains, he only felt his body tremble slightly, as if something in his bloodline was paying homage to it.
However, the next second, as he placed his hand on the coffin-like life pod, the dry bones inside instantly turned to powder, as if resisting his approach.
This made him feel a hint of confusion again.
Just as he was about to continue following the disappearing figure, another voice came from his mind: "Go left."
As Clark was wondering, he heard a strange noise from the entrance, accompanied by a woman's cry of pain.
Without any hesitation, he sped up and rushed out, immediately seeing the hovering mechanical guard about to launch a fatal attack on a woman lying on the ground.
He knew that woman; after all, he had personally helped her down from the helicopter when he faked his identity to join the North Pole Freight Company.
But there was no time to think now; Clark grabbed the mechanical guard, trying to make it stop its attack.
However, feeling that it had no intention of stopping, Clark could only use his brute strength to destroy it!
Lois immediately trembled all over at the sight of this, and fear surged through her.
Originally, she had followed Clark into the spaceship, curious about everything, and wanted to take a couple of photos with her camera for a news report.
However, just as she pressed the shutter, the mechanical guard, which had been hovering motionless, suddenly extended a tentacle and swatted her away, and her camera was smashed to pieces.
Just as the snake-like tentacle was about to stab towards her head, the man she had been following appeared and violently destroyed the mechanical guard with superhuman strength!
At this point, she no longer thought about any news; looking at the man's approaching figure, she helplessly twisted her injured body and retreated.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you're injured and need help!"
Clark, well-educated by his adoptive parents since childhood, had grown into the pure and kind young man he was today; even if the woman in front of him discovered his secret, he had no thought of silencing her.
After hearing Clark's reassurance, Lois slowly calmed down, but as soon as she tried to move, it pulled at the wound on her abdomen.
"Hiss!"
The pain stimulated his brain, making him gasp for air.
Clark's eyes narrowed slightly, and X-rays penetrated Lois's thick clothes, revealing the bleeding wound.
"You are bleeding internally, and if it doesn't stop, your life will be in danger, so…."
Clark said to Lois with a serious expression.
Thinking that since he had already been exposed, and now to save a life, he was not going to hide his other abilities either!
"How do I stop the bleeding!"
Lois now recognized Clark as the man she had met when she got off the helicopter earlier in the day and felt fear upon hearing about her condition.
She was just a newspaper reporter, not a fearless daredevil, and the pain from her body further intensified her fear.
"Don't worry, I can do things others can't!"
"But it will hurt a bit, you'll have to endure it!"
With that, Clark's eyes turned red, and two faint crimson rays shot out from his eyes.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Lois knew what the man's "a bit of pain" felt like.
Although born into a military family, she was still a delicate girl, and the sensation of heat vision burning her flesh made her scream in agony, then she fainted from the pain.
After dealing with all this, Clark carried her at super speed to the edge of the camp, made a small disturbance to attract the guards' attention, and then quickly returned to the spaceship!
Returning to the fork in the path, Clark was torn between the call in his mind and the figure intentionally guiding him.
"Clark, Kryptonian orphan, I have been waiting for you!"
At this moment, the tightly closed hatch on the left immediately opened, a golden light shone, and a voice calling him emerged.
"Krypton, is that my home?"
Ever since he saw the small spaceship in the farm warehouse, he had accepted the fact that he was an alien.
Now, hearing the words "Kryptonian orphan," his mind trembled.
Just as he was about to walk over, the disappearing figure appeared and said to him, "No! Karl, my child, you should go this way."
The loving expression on the figure's face was one he had only seen on his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha.
"Karl? Are you calling me? And who exactly are you?"
Clark's mind was also a bit muddled at this point!
"I am your father, Jor-El. No, perhaps only a Shadow he left behind, his residual consciousness!"
Hearing the word "father," Clark's emotions began to fluctuate violently, and he unconsciously walked towards Jor-El.
But, thinking of the other voice, he hesitated again!
"Who is he?"
At this moment, Clark pointed to the golden-glowing hatch on the left and asked.
"I don't know either!"
"I have always resided in the pendant you wear around your neck. This spaceship belonged to our El Family ancestors 18,000 years ago, accidentally crash-landing here after encountering a super-temporal flow."
"I can appear before you because you inserted the pendant into the spaceship's control hub, which activated my consciousness."
Jor-El was also a bit unclear about the current situation.
Although his consciousness had taken over everything within the spaceship when Clark inserted the token representing their El Family into it, he still hadn't figured out what was hidden behind that hatch!
"Can I go and see?"
Clark made this request to his biological father.
"Of course, no problem!"
Since this was a spaceship once piloted by the El Family ancestors, Jor-El didn't have too many reservations; he actually also wanted to know what was hidden inside.
Moreover, he knew that the Yellow Sun had activated his son's talents; he was stronger than all Kryptonians and very little could harm him.
Having received permission from his biological father, Clark walked into the hatch!
Instantly, before he could react, the golden light merged into his body.
"Genetic test passed, body reconstruction initiated!"
At this moment, in the boundless darkness, Kytheron's consciousness finally saw a glimmer of light, and he strained with all his might to rush towards the light source.
"Ah!"
Clark cried out in pain; he felt his body was about to explode and painfully knelt to the ground.
Suddenly, he arched his chest, and a pitch-Black Talon emerged from his chest cavity, yet strangely, it didn't tear his flesh. Immediately after, a pitch-Black giant dragon, two or three times larger than Clark himself, peeled out of his body.
"Roar!"
"I'm back!"
