35 Chapter 38: Dru-Zod.
My name is Dru-Zod, I'm a high-ranking general on the planet Krypton ... But it wasn't always like that.
I was the son of a Kryptonian scientist, as well as soldiers. Kryptonian scientists are also a very dangerous profession, of course the danger is quite low compared to the profession of a soldier, but the danger exists. One day my family and I went on a scientific expedition to the Krypton Desert, everything was fine, the work was progressing well.
What we didn't know is that we would be attacked by wild beasts. We were cornered, the soldier who was our guard was also killed, after my mother was killed, my father and I ran away while we left her body for the animals to eat.
But again my father and I were cornered by the beasts, my father looked at the beast and then he looked at me. "You must run, Zod."
I nod and understand what he's telling me to do. That day, I killed my father and left his body for the beasts to eat, because of the distraction of my father's body, I managed to escape.
I survived alone for over a year in that desert. I just ran away and fought when it was necessary, I managed to survive until I was found by the brothers of House El, the brothers who would be my great friends in the future.
When I was an adult, I became a great soldier, that's what I always wanted to be. I didn't want to be weak like my family who were killed by beasts, I wanted to be strong, I wanted to be a strong soldier and that's what I became in the future.
One day when I was reviewing some documents of a very violent alien species that lived in the Rao system. [A / N: Rao system is the name of the Krypton solar system, if we have the Milky Way, it has the Rao solar system. The name of the Krypton sun is Rao.]
I received an encrypted message from my friend Jor-El, when I opened the message to view the content, I saw an invitation to an experiment.
The experiment of the Kryptonian emperor. The experiment was quite simple, they wanted to create an artificial child that had the best Krypton genes. If they were successful, they would use that child to carry out a coup d'état, the noble houses wanted to recover their powers lost as politicians and they wanted an emperor with the best genes to make his descendants stronger.
This was an ambitious plan. I thought for a long time, but I decided to participate on one condition, I wanted to train the child who was going to become the Krypton emperor.
Jor-El easily agreed with my condition.
A few years passed, and the emperor's project was not going well. Many children died, but they did not want to give up.
"Something is wrong, the child is not supporting all the genes." Jor-El spoke with an annoyed tone.
Currently, we were in a laboratory that has a machine called the 'cradle of life', this was a machine where all Kryptonians were born. I was also born from this machine, I was silent while watching the thin-looking baby in the green liquid.
"Jor-El, why don't you use that man's genes?" Alura In-Ze spoke.
"That man is the most powerful being in Krypton, I don't know what would happen if I added that man's genes to that child."
".... I also don't feel comfortable using that man's genes in experiments ..."
I didn't know who they were talking about, but I had some ideas. Jor-El spoke of Krypton's most powerful being, only one person in Krypton's history has the privilege of being called that.
That person was Rao, the God-King of Krypton, did they have genes stored from that being? This became even more interesting, I wonder what kind of child will be born if it has that man's genes.
"It's okay, right? This man is already dead and his family is basically his children. He's your ancestor, he probably won't care. "
".... Okay..."
After this conversation, I left the lab.
A few years go by again, and I get a message saying that the experiment was a success.
Codenamed 'little emperor.' The child who was to be the Krypton emperor was born.
I went to visit the boy, when I arrived at the laboratory, I looked at the small child with blond hair.
Looking around, I realized that Jor-El was not around. "Onda, where is Jor-El?"
"He gave up on the project." Alura In-Ze spoke.
"Why?"
"He had a change of mind, he didn't want to participate in this project anymore." Alura In-Ze replied evasively.
I narrow my eyes in suspicion, 'Something is wrong, but I don't know what it is.'
A few months passed and the child was already awake and studying the education program that was created especially for him.
He was learning at an absurd pace, he was a monster. In a few months, he had already memorized all the content that the program had to offer.
Seeing this, the scientists decided to give him 'private teachers.'
That's where I came in, I was responsible for his military training.
And as expected, he was a monster in that too, he learned everything quite easily.
Several years passed and the child began to show the maturity and understanding of an adult. He always visited me to talk to me too, we exchanged just a few words, we always talked only as necessary.
The child was brilliant, I approved of him as a close friend. I treated him the same way I treated Jor-El, but I have my doubts if he will be a good emperor. After all, this is something that comes with experience.
I agree that he is a monster in academic, military, political terms, etc. He's a complete genius, but would that make him a good emperor?
That doubt has always remained in my head.
I had no idea if this doubt was going to be dismissed in the future or not, I think I have to wait and see.
