Chapter 369 Weapons Targeting Krypton
Originally, there were no towering peaks of 10,000 meters on Lucy's home planet, but Kara carried the king and rocks and soil weighing thousands of tons from underground to "manufacture" one.
The king was beyond dead, and in the hands of "Supergirl" Cara, he was like a lump of mud. His entire body had been rubbed and burned in the earth's core until only a skeleton remained.
Kara tossed the skeleton to the ground and looked at Lucy, who was being held in Connors' arms, and said:
"No one else will suffer the same tragedy as you."
Lucy nodded blankly, her mind replaying the images of Connors and Kara demonstrating their abilities.
One can easily lift a snow-capped mountain thousands of meters high, larger than the entire capital city, in its hands; the other can penetrate deep into the earth unscathed and emerge from the other side of the planet.
For Lucy, a girl who lives in a place where even firearms are scarce, the skills displayed by the two of them were somewhat beyond her capabilities.
"You must be the gods sent by 'Weeping Anne' to protect our country, right?" Lucy said.
Connors and Kara exchanged a glance:
Who is Crying Anne?
Neither of them had ever heard of such a strange name, but who this guy was didn't matter. "Supergirl" Carla took Lucy from Connors' arms and put her on the ground:
"Listen, we are not gods, just people with special powers, just like you."
Lucy looked at Kara with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.
“You see, when you first met me, I was completely drunk and you even had to take care of me,” Kara said. “Even the new king, who was responsible for your father’s death, tracked me down here because of me.”
"To make up for my mistake, I will try my best to grant you one request, no matter how demanding it may be."
Cara Delevingne, a former contestant on "Supergirl," was filled with remorse. She had initially intended to walk away from Lucy's request, but in the end, she discovered that the root of the problem lay with herself.
Seeing that Lucy was still in a daze, her thin shoulders trembling slightly, Kara thought for a moment and then said:
"But I have to do something else before I can meet your request."
She left Lucy behind and went to Connors, excitedly grabbing his hand:
"You seem to know something about Superman? Can you tell me?"
The dead "King" reveals the existence of "Superman," and Kara knows that her people are not extinct, and that there is still one living somewhere in the universe.
"Strictly speaking, he's your cousin. You should have met him once when Hydrogen Star existed," Connors said. "His name is Karl El."
Connors believed that his evaluation of "Supergirl" Cara Delevingne was now complete, as she was deemed to have no problems in terms of character or other aspects.
There was no need to continue hiding it at this point.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name "Karl Al," Supergirl Cara froze, gripping Connors' hand tightly in disbelief.
"Is it really Karl? He's not dead?"
Connors' expression shifted; "Lord Superman" was perfectly fine, and the word "death" seemed completely foreign to him.
Why do you think he's dead?
Super Girl Kara took a deep breath to calm herself down and slowly began to speak:
"He and I were supposed to fly together to a star system with a yellow sun, but my spaceship malfunctioned, went off course, and went into hibernation, only waking up a few months ago."
"Before I went into hibernation, I saw Kal'el's ship disappear in the flames of Krypton's explosion. I thought he was dead, but today I received the news that he is still alive."
Carla held onto Connors' hand tightly, refusing to let go for even a moment:
"That king knew him, which means there are many others in the universe who do. And your strength is so formidable, you must also come from among the stars. Do you know where 'Superman' is?"
"I know, and I'm here to take you to see him," Connors said.
"So when you said in that dilapidated house earlier, 'I'm here to do something for someone,' it must have been Carl who asked you to come?"
"Carla asked.
Connors nodded affirmatively, which prompted Kara to cover her face with her hands. A mixture of sadness, relief, and excitement brought tears to her eyes.
Her crying resulted in a green beam of light, tens of meters in diameter, shooting vertically downwards from the sky, like a beam connecting heaven and earth.
"Super Girl" Kara was pinned to the ground by the pulses from the beam of light, unable to move.
The beam of light acted like a compressor; even with the yellow sun shining on her, she still coughed up a mouthful of blood due to internal organ damage.
"You?" Kara stared blankly at Connors, her eyes filled with resentment. She dug her hands into the soil desperately, trying to crawl away from the beam of light.
Her eyes held the anger of being deceived, the desire to survive, and the anticipation of seeing her fellow Kryptonians again, as she struggled forward despite the immense pressure weighing on her.
But as she crawled forward, the beam of light moved with her, keeping Kara in the center of the beam, and pulses continued to strike downwards.
Just as Kara was about to grind her teeth to pieces and her eyes were bloodshot, she saw the black smoke cloak behind Connors become incredibly illusory, and the ground instantly cracked open from his center, the crack so wide that it seemed to stretch to the horizon.
Connors' body had already soared into the sky.
"What's wrong with you!"
Outside the beam of light, Luce screamed in terror as she looked at Kara's wolfish appearance.
Seeing that Kara was unable to escape the influence of the pillar of light no matter what she did, Luce gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and was about to rush into the pillar of light.
But even Cara, the "Supergirl" under the yellow sun, could hardly move here and couldn't even stand up, let alone Lucy, a thin girl.
"Don't!"
Kara only managed to utter one word before a pulse of light descended from the sky, filling her throat with blood and rendering her speechless.
Amidst her horrified, blood pressure-raising gaze, Luce burst into the pillar of light.
Kara closed her eyes in despair, and only opened them after a long while.
The imagined scene of carnage did not occur. Lucy moved freely even inside the pillar of light, showing no signs of strain.
A realization dawned on Kara, the "Supergirl," that this beam of light was likely a weapon specifically designed to deal with Kryptonians.
The owner of this weapon is very likely Connors, who was telling him the good news just a moment ago.
Her heart sank little by little, but she still held onto a sliver of hope amidst the despair—what if she had guessed wrong?
As "Supergirl" Kara was gritting her teeth, her body suddenly felt lighter, and the pillar of light disappeared. Just as she was about to send Lucy to a safe place and fly up into the sky herself to check what had happened, the sky suddenly brightened.
Near the yellow sun, another large yellow fireball suddenly appeared. Kara could clearly see that it was a warship much larger than her own, slowly falling.
Connors's figure, shrouded in black smoke, slowly descended to the ground along with the warship.
