Chapter 281: Ancient Emperor Genes

"Mom... Mom?!"

Seeing her mother again, Kara's face was filled with surprise and astonishment.

She thought Krypton had been completely destroyed in that explosion, and no one could survive.

Although Krypton was now reconstructed, the people on it didn't come back to life.

This was something Jack had warned her about in advance. But now her mother was standing right in front of her, alive and well.

Kara couldn't hold back her shock as she looked at Jack.

"I'm surprised too. I didn't expect anyone to survive."

When it was brought up, Jack just shrugged. It seemed like he didn't know about it before.

He really didn't know before, he just found out recently.

There were quite a few Kryptonians left alive.

They seemed to have used some kind of energy barrier and survived by relying on a large piece of debris from the explosion that remained in space.

Kara's mother, who would be his future mother-in-law, was one of them by chance.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was in her fifties but still incredibly charming, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Kara?!"

Kara's mother, Alura, clearly didn't expect to see Kara here.

Although she only remembered Kara as a child, the connection between mother and daughter and Kara's tearful reaction made her recognize her daughter instantly.

Mother and daughter held each other and cried for a while, spilling tears and talking about how hard the last ten years had been.

Jack had no idea what to do but had to wait in silence.

But he wasn't doing nothing either; he was already thinking about how to face the interrogations of his future mother-in-law.

After about ten minutes, Kara and her mother finally poured their tears out.

"Jack"

Jack, who was lost in his thoughts, heard Kara calling him and instinctively responded.

He then walked over to them.

"Mom, this is Jack... um... my..."

Kara introduced Jack to her future mother, feeling a little embarrassed but completely unaware of her mother's increasingly serious expression.

Jack noticed it. He thought it might be because of Kara's situation and approached with an awkward smile.

"Be careful!"

However, to Jack's surprise, as soon as he approached within two meters, Alura suddenly pulled Kara behind her and looked at him cautiously.

At the same time, the guards who were previously idle raised their guns and aimed at Jack.

Poor Jack was completely confused, not understanding what was happening.

Kara was also confused.

Seeing her mother's extreme reaction and Jack being threatened with a gun, she panicked and shook off Alura's hand, rushing over to stand in front of Jack.

"Mom! What are you doing?!"

That was precisely what Jack wanted to ask.

He looked at Alura's serious and even panicked face and couldn't understand her reaction.

After all, he was their lifesaver.

Shouldn't they treat their savior better?

Alura obviously didn't know what Jack was thinking, but seeing her daughter protecting him, a look of panic appeared on her face.

"Kara, come over here! You don't know how dangerous he is!"

"No, He's my boyfriend, He won't hurt me! Have you misunderstood something?"

Kara firmly shook her head and decided to stand by Jack.

Jack's heart exploded with joy when he heard that and he instinctively stood before Kara, hugging her.

"Mom... uh... Mrs. El, I don't know what I did to upset you, but there's no need for this, right?"

When hearing Jack's words, Alura's eyes twitched, and she forcefully suppressed her restless emotions, speaking in a low voice.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? Kara should explain that first."

Jack turned back and hugged Kara.

"..."

Alura struggled to control her emotions, taking a deep breath and said,

"Let go of Kara, get out of here, and you won't see her again."

"???"

Now both Jack and Kara were puzzled.

But they knew Alura must have a reason to make this decision.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Kara anxiously looked at her mother. She couldn't let her mother's words follow her because losing Jack would break her.

"Kara, I will explain everything to you, but right now, he must leave."

Alura insisted on having Jack leave Krypton, which annoyed him, and he raised his hand and waved it lightly.

The guards who were at first on high alert, suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground one by one.

Kara was worried when she saw her mother's scared face, so she looked at Jack.

"Let's keep it easy and direct. You're Kara's mother, and I believe you won't hurt her."

Jack patted Kara's arm and gestured towards the opposite side with his eyes.

Seeing this, Kara reluctantly walked over to her mother and stood beside her.

"Now, can you tell me why you're so afraid of me?"

Alura held her daughter's hand tightly and looked at Jack with fear and doubt as if deciding whether or not to tell him the reason.

After a while, she glanced at Jack again and finally spoke up about the reason.

However, this reason left both Jack and Kara puzzled.

"You said... I have the Emperor's gene? What does that mean?"

Jack gazed at Alura, his face filled with confusion. He hoped she could help him understand.

"You mentioned ancient Kryptonian Emperor genes in me. What does that mean?"

Alura didn't remain silent this time but seriously explained everything to Jack.

After hearing her story, Jack finally understood something.

(Below is some information I found about Krypton, my imagination, and fictional elements. It's made up, so please don't take it seriously.)

Jack didn't know much about Krypton in his previous life, so he was only slightly aware of what was happening at first.

But as Alura told him more and more, he slowly learned about Krypton's past.

It turned out that Krypton used to be a powerful empire a long time ago.

They conquered the whole universe, set up many bases, and ruled with violence and bloodshed.

At that time, Krypton didn't have a government like the one it did later.

Although it was a government, its purpose was to serve the Kryptonian Emperor.

(I'm not sure if it existed, but let's assume it did since it's my story!)

Under the rule of the Kryptonian Emperor, the ancient Kryptonians were as powerful as the people of Apokolips.

The effects of a yellow sun on Kryptonians were incredibly powerful.

If it weren't for Darkseid and Mongul standing against them, Apokolips would have likely become another territory of Krypton.

However, even with their defeat against Apokolips, the Emperor was angry.

He summoned all the scientists in the empire and ordered them to develop a biological weapon capable of defeating Apokolips.

After expansive research by a group of top scientists from various parts of the universe, they finally created a terrifying biological weapon using the cells of General Dru-Zod, a high-ranking military officer in the empire!

According to the scientists' estimations, this weapon could definitely defeat Apokolips.

The Emperor was overjoyed and personally gave this weapon a name:

Doomsday.

A sign of the day when the enemy will be destroyed.
