"If you're asking me what a happy planet is...
Then let me tell you.
So long as you're happy, you are a happy planet!"
Heisenberg gently rubbed the little sphere in his arms as he spoke, and his words sent Little Broken Planet spinning with delight.
For a moment, the centrifugal force had Tiff lurching wildly from side to side!
Heisenberg stabilized Tiff's position with his force field, then hugged the little sphere closer and continued.
"So, little one, my divine realm is still completely empty. You might very well become my very first planet!
Would you like to come to my side?"
"Of course, of course!!!"
Little Broken Planet immediately responded to Heisenberg's call with pure joy. She buzzed with excitement, muttering nonstop.
"No planet can refuse an invitation from a sun — especially when that sun is so pretty!!!
I want to go!
Anyway, Sector 2261 has other Green Lanterns. Missing one me won't matter at all.
And a planet without a sun is a pretty lousy planet anyway. I have no fixed position, no home... wuwuwu.
Daddy, Daddy, which sector is your divine realm in?"
"Uh, first of all, don't use the word 'pretty' to compliment me. Pretty is your defining feature. Being called pretty is your privilege, little one.
As for me... I'm in... I'm in..."
He paused. Which sector was Earth in, in the DC universe?
He thought for a long while. He'd never really paid attention to that bit of information before.
As good as his memory was, he couldn't conjure up something he'd simply never heard about.
So he could only shake his head.
"I've also forgotten which sector I'm in."
"Oh, okay then. No worries."
The little sphere bobbed in understanding for a moment, then laughed.
"As soon as I get there, I'll know what sector it is.
And the local Green Lantern stationed there will definitely welcome me.
They'll understand and willingly swap assignments with me.
I'm going to settle down in Daddy's sector, and that's final!!!"
Little Broken Planet's tone was absolutely resolute. She spun around for a moment, then immediately urged Heisenberg.
"Dad, let's go! I'm speeding up now. Which way is home?!"
"Th-this... we're already calling it our home?!"
Clark, who had been standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Heisenberg, hurriedly cutting in to ask.
"Wait, Great-Grandfather, can our solar system even accommodate a new planet? It'll affect Earth's tides and the entire system's gravitational balance!
Why are we suddenly bringing her back?
And besides..."
"Besides what?" Heisenberg turned to look at him.
"Besides what!" Little Broken Planet asked with fierce adorableness.
...
Faced with the sun and the planet speaking in perfect unison, Clark swallowed hard.
He thought for a long moment, pursed his lips, and shook his head.
"And besides... welcome, welcome~..."
"Ah, thank you for your welcome! I'm really looking forward to it too~~"
Little Broken Planet immediately beamed with happiness.
Watching the little sphere's delightfully silly expression, Heisenberg smiled knowingly, then said gently to Clark.
"Kal-El, our Kryptonian race ultimately needs a proper planet to settle down on and call home.
Earth is not our home. It's merely a waystation — territory that humanity has convinced itself it owns, right?
With little Mogo, with a New Krypton, I think our people will be overjoyed!
No matter how magnificent a divine realm may be, only a planet can truly be our home."
At this, Heisenberg looked toward Tiff, who had been reeling in shock this entire time, and asked softly.
"What do you think? Shall we make this planet beneath our feet our future homeworld?"
"I don't dare to imagine it!!!"
Tiff blurted out instinctively.
The moment the words left her mouth, she suddenly felt that her response might have come out wrong.
So she blinked hesitantly, then softly clarified.
"I meant... I don't dare to imagine something this wonderful!"
"Thank you! I just knew you'd all like me — and I was right!
Daddy, am I going to be renamed Krypton now?
Are you going to call me Little Krypto?"
The little sphere asked Heisenberg with pure, foolish innocence. Her question gave him a brief pause.
Little Krypto?
When you grow up, are you planning to rename yourself Heavy Krypto and Blood Krypto too?
Were you spawned from Planet Tencent or something?!
Don't become a microtransaction planet, you'll be hated by everyone!!!
"You'd better keep the name Mogo. It's been with you for... over three billion years now, right?"
Heisenberg smiled and rubbed the little sphere in his arms. Feeling the obedient, quivering tremble of the little planet, he turned to Superman and Tiff.
"It's settled. Once I take up residence in the divine realm in my identity as a sun, Planet Mogo will become the place where future Kryptonians prioritize living and defending.
The environment here is far superior to old Krypton. Moreover, the existence of a living planet and a planetary consciousness will make our coexistence with the world more harmonious and beautiful.
Especially if I secure a Mother Earth divinity for little Mogo — she'll naturally become a new chief goddess under my command.
So, we're preparing to head home.
Also, Tiff — welcome back. The reconstruction of Krypton is in full swing. We need your strength, and we are more than happy to provide you with a home and a direction for the future.
All these years... you've worked hard, my kin."
Heisenberg freed his right hand and gently extended it before Tiff.
Looking at Heisenberg's outstretched hand, Tiff's entire body snapped rigid. In an instant, tears and uncontrollable emotion flooded her face.
She didn't understand the etiquette of a handshake, so she dropped to one knee, raised both hands, and gently placed them into Heisenberg's palm.
Then she lifted her head and gazed up with reverence at Heisenberg's ever-radiant form, her whole body trembling as she spoke.
"I was broken for far too long, Your Eminence. Krypton's destruction left me utterly lost in the universe — and lost within my own heart.
Now, to receive the news of your return, to even be able to touch your hand... it's truly too wonderful, Your Eminence.
Krypton will surely prosper again... don't you think?"
"Of course!"
Heisenberg nodded with unwavering certainty, then helped Tiff up from the ground.
"Krypton will be rebuilt. You have my word."
"That's right! Krypton will be rebuilt — Sun Dad said so!"
Little Sphere piped up cheekily from Heisenberg's arms. Her words made Tiff smile from the heart.
Hesitantly, Tiff tentatively extended her right hand, reaching gently toward the little green sphere nestled in Heisenberg's embrace.
The little sphere allowed Tiff to rest her hand on her manifested body. When she sensed how much Tiff's hand was trembling, a surge of warmth filled her heart.
She savored the feeling for a moment, then spoke softly to the group.
"When I was in the Green Lantern Corps, I often heard my colleagues talking about Kryptonians.
They didn't really like Kryptonians. They said Kryptonians were tyrannical, warmongering, peace-disrupting, and very fierce!
But after meeting you all — especially after meeting my new dad..."
The little sphere quivered blissfully and shook herself with silly, innocent delight.
"Why didn't anyone tell me sooner that Krypton had such a warm and blazing sun?! I would've defected ages ago!
The suns that don't talk never chat with me at all. I've traveled all across my Sector 2261, and not a single sun was willing to talk to me.
Whenever I got close to them, they'd just fizzle out... or explode! Wuwuwu!!!
Compared to them, I much prefer the sun of Krypton. Little Sun Heisenberg is the absolute best!"
At this, the little sphere spun around in Heisenberg's arms, then quivered as she looked toward the not-so-distant Tiff and muttered softly.
"Even though Tiff really is pretty fierce..."
"My fault, that's entirely my fault!!!"
Tiff hurriedly widened her eyes and scrambled to explain.
"I'll never set my sights on a Green Lantern ring again. Trust me, Mogo!"
"I trust you — mainly because I trust Papa Heisenberg.
Daddy, Daddy, let's go home! I can't wait to see my new home!"
As her words faded, the little sphere spun in eager circles within Heisenberg's arms. Her antics made Heisenberg laugh with fatherly warmth.
"Alright. I'll take you home."
As he spoke, he planted his feet firmly upon the earth.
Teleporting an entire planet across the starry sea — even he had no experience with this. He had to be extremely cautious.
His bio-force field rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping the little sphere completely.
After all, he was going to bring little Mogo into the skies above Metropolis, and then transfer her into the Möbius space of his divine realm.
If he didn't use his bio-force field to control her gravitational pull, the moment such a massive planet appeared beside Earth, it would tear entire continents off the planet's surface!
Feeling Heisenberg's bio-force field spreading continuously across her body, the little sphere quivered with curiosity and said.
"Daddy, I'll cooperate. Watch me pull my gravity in."
"Mm, good girl."
Heisenberg smiled. Then his force field completely enveloped the planet.
In the blink of an eye, Heisenberg — with the little green-glowing sphere in his arms, and Clark and Tiff at his side — shot straight out of the little sphere's atmosphere!
Feeling herself hovering in the vastness of space, Tiff stared at Heisenberg in utter shock.
What kind of divine might is this?! This is the future god of Krypton!!!
At the same time, Heisenberg, now standing in space, gently curled his right hand.
In his perception, the little sphere was being pulled into a reverse rotation by the motion of his palm.
"I'm moving, I'm moving! This is what it feels like to be pulled by a sun — such a familiar sensation!!!"
The little sphere was absolutely reveling in the feeling. She cheered as she followed Heisenberg's movements, swaying left and right.
Under the influence of Heisenberg's force field, not a single blade of grass on the intensely active Mogo was affected in the slightest.
Verifying the force field across an entire planet was a monumental undertaking. After extensive preparation, Heisenberg finally nodded in satisfaction.
The sight of that unimaginably vast planet swaying gently back and forth, following the motion of Heisenberg's palm...
A scene like this left Tiff and Clark utterly speechless!
Watching how effortlessly Heisenberg did it, Tiff was so stunned that even her lips began to tremble.
This kind of world-moving might — the ability to casually shift a planet through sheer personal power — does it truly exist?!
And furthermore... it's actually held in the hands of the god she believed in!!!
Everything before her made Tiff shudder, every hair on her body standing on end.
Inexplicably, goosebumps erupted across her skin. It was her anticipation for the future, setting every nerve in her brain alight with exhilaration.
She gazed deeply at Heisenberg's back as he strode masterfully across the cosmos. She gazed deeply at Mogo, firmly held within Heisenberg's grasp.
At this very moment, she suddenly realized: Krypton had truly risen. Her people, her nation... had truly risen!!!
She watched as Heisenberg raised his right hand high. With absolute solemnity, she gazed up at the rainbow light that Heisenberg had summoned — a beam so thick and so majestic that it seemed to pierce straight through the entire universe!
A Bifrost bridge fifty-seven hundred kilometers in diameter. This was a miracle that not even Odin had ever achieved — not even remotely!
It was just as Heisenberg had always sensed: after becoming a sun, while continuously elevating the essence of his Kryptonian god bloodline...
Heisenberg truly had no idea how powerful he actually was!
All he knew was that he had the strength to move Mogo. And what's more, he had the strength to bring this greatest miracle-planet in the entire DC universe straight into his newborn divine realm!
When the colossal rainbow light descended upon Planet Mogo, the little sphere quivered in shock, then delightedly savored the sensation of being teleported.
Feeling the energy draining from within him — significant, but nothing he couldn't handle — and observing Mogo being transported by the Bifrost toward Earth's vicinity...
Heisenberg hugged the little green sphere in his arms close, a knowing smile spreading across his face.
What a haul. I've sweet-talked myself into a perfect, naturally-formed planet — and one that does cute tricks, no less!
But what he didn't know was that, in this very moment, the little sphere in his arms was cherishing a fantasy of her own — one remarkably similar to his.
Looking at Heisenberg holding her so tightly, gazing at this newborn sun who adored her so much...
The little sphere savored the sensation of being teleported, and thought to herself with bliss and excitement:
What a haul!
I've sweet-talked myself into a perfect newborn sun — and one who even calls me cute and pretty!
From this day forward, Mogo is a planet with a sun!!!
