Chapitre 122: Chapter 122: Time To Set Off
"Announcement: His Majesty will activate the genetic powers for all Kryptonians. Please return home promptly. Do not be alarmed by any changes in your body. Remember the breathing meditation taught two days ago to control the power after genetic activation. Please return home immediately and wait for the changes in a safe area."
"Announcement: ..."
"Announcement: ..."
In the residential area, cold metal streets echoed with announcements. Every Kryptonian could hear the voices coming from the speakers.
After months of living, they had become accustomed to life on the cold metal surface of the planet and had formed Kryptonian society under various complete facilities.
New Krypton Elementary School.
Many women gathered at the entrance to pick up their children. Their outfits were similar, and the class differences that existed on Krypton were minimized here. However, there were still ladies with different temperaments, separating into groups.
"What is His Majesty planning? Genetic power activation?"
"I heard it's for preparing for future space conquest."
"I saw the trained soldiers from a distance before. They could all fly in the sky."
"According to records, Kryptonians in ancient times could fly, shoot laser beams from their eyes, breathe cold air, and had immense strength. That's why we were able to conquer the stars in ancient times."
"That's just a myth. Everyone knows that."
"Who knows? Just follow orders. This time, I'm guarding the school gate to catch that troublemaker and bring him home."
"I have the same problem at home. Every time after school, my child runs off to play battleships with the mech body like a foolish dog."
"You should discipline your child better. Or resort to punishment!"
"That's why I brought a whip this time."
The bell rang, and as soon as the end-of-school bell sounded, the children forgot about the announcements and the teacher's instructions, and joyfully ran around like wild dogs.
Each of them was already preparing to become a general or a marshal, commanding battleships, throwing planets, and destroying stars in games with names that sounded terrifying.
But in the end, these future generals and marshals were ruthlessly grabbed by their mothers, who held whips and scolded them endlessly, dragging them back.
They could only bid tearful farewells to their equally disappointed friends, making a determined promise to become generals and soldiers next time.
As the workday ended, everyone returned to their own homes or to safe areas.
H'el stood in the control center of a tall building, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the silent streets of the residential area.
Kalu-Zod led the Kryptonian army, gradually flying out from the underground base, preparing in different directions in the sky above the residential area.
During the first exposure to yellow solar radiation, only officers and above could awaken the ability to fly.
However, under sufficient sunlight, other soldiers, after two months of sunbathing, were also capable of awakening the ability to fly.
"Let it begin, Zero." H'el gave the command.
The residential area gradually disconnected from the atmosphere of Krypton, and the sun's rays began to penetrate through the zeroed atmosphere and into every house.
In fact, activating the Kryptonian genes for seven million people at once was not a cautious undertaking.
Because the sudden acquisition of immense power would always give intelligent beings a sense of invincibility, leading to unrest.
If the seven million people were to cause a disturbance, it would indeed be quite troublesome, and at the same time, not troublesome at all.
As long as the Kryptonian gas was released again, they would immediately become weaklings.
However, H'el did not want to control them using Kryptonian gas. Since they were powerful, they should remain powerful. He still needed powerful Kryptonians to fight for him.
Therefore, H'el first provided ample solar energy to the army, showcasing his invincibility before them. Once the army was completely subdued, the genetic activation would be carried out for the entire population.
In front of the Kryptonian soldiers who were already capable of flying, even if they suddenly obtained power, they could be instantly suppressed, without causing much unrest.
Gradually, sounds of joyful surprise emanated from the residential area.
People had already begun to awaken, controlling their bodies with immense power. Some shot their heat vision towards the sky, while others heard the chaotic and complex exclamations around them. An overwhelming amount of information entered their brains, expanding their thinking and memory storage.
"The Kryptonian legend is true! I have become a god, capable of shooting lasers from my eyes."
"I am infinitely powerful, invincible in the world. The entire universe is mine!"
"Haha, I possess great power and deserve respect!"
"I have become a myth, and everyone has become a myth."
"So this is what His Majesty meant by genetic activation?"
"It turns out we Kryptonians are so powerful."
"The legends are true. Every Kryptonian is a god!"
The solar energy was cut off after the activation of the Kryptonian genes, but their genetic abilities had indeed been awakened. All that remained was to absorb energy and gradually strengthen themselves.
Some arrogant individuals obtained power, leaped onto rooftops, laughed heartily with their chests held high, and vented their strength. But when they saw the soldiers flying in the sky with crimson eyes, a sense of surprise filled their hearts. They obediently climbed down from the roof and returned home to check the situation online.
H'el had already posted all the necessary warnings and instructions on the network for every Kryptonian who had access to the proton computing terminal.
The announcement informed them about what they needed to know and taught them the breathing meditation techniques to control their immense physical power. For those who lacked patience, they could apply for military training or visit training facilities to test their strength. H'el believed that after the initial excitement wore off, they would realize that this power was ordinary in Kryptonian society and eventually return to calmness and rationality.
However, there were still some individuals with a few screws loose in their heads. Even though they witnessed soldiers flying and possessing greater power than themselves, they were overcome by their newfound abilities and believed that H'el could become the Emperor, so they could also take on the Emperor's position and launched attacks on the soldiers.
Such individuals existed, and there were quite a few of them. Kalu led the soldiers and apprehended approximately four hundred mentally unstable Kryptonians.
At the same time, a large number of Kryptonians remained rational and clear-headed, understanding that this was the activation of the entire population's genetic potential and actively assisting the military in maintaining order.
If everyone had it, it meant that no one stood out.
H'el didn't pay attention to them and instead focused on examining the integrated data transmitted from each Kryptonian through the proton computing terminal.
The activation of the Kryptonian genes in the entire population revealed varying levels of strength based on their occupations.
Thirty percent of the population possessed strength exceeding ten thousand tons.
Twenty percent of the population possessed strength exceeding thirty thousand tons.
Ten percent of the population possessed strength exceeding fifty thousand tons.
The majority had strength below ten thousand tons, primarily consisting of members of the Artistic Council and some members of the Labor Council.
Even the weakest individual, a member of the Artistic Council with a talent for flower arrangement, had a fragile strength of only three hundred tons.
As for the individuals who could initially fly, they could be considered non-existent.
Because even if there were any, they would be retired officers and not ordinary citizens who acquired labor or artistic talents.
The stability of Kryptonian genetic abilities was formidable, and for the most part, there were no variations or unexpected outcomes.
After examining the integrated data, H'el wasn't surprised. There was a significant gap between civilians and officers.
Unless there were any surprises.
The ultimate limit for civilians would be having various Kryptonian abilities such as flight, invulnerability, heat vision, freezing breath, and possessing a strength of roughly one million tons, barely enough to survive in space. This was the limit for civilians.
The talents of generals began where the limits of civilians ended.
H'el waved away the data on the screen and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the residential area, which appeared calm but harbored an underlying excitement. He couldn't help but smile.
"Zero. Summon all the collection vessels and let's set off for Earth."
