Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 247 Negotiation

After a while, Kara woke up from her reverie.

She looked at Kevin again:

"Since you know... about Karl and me, you should also know... about the task I was assigned."

I thought back a little bit about Kara’s setting.

Kara is the daughter of Superman's uncle. When Krypton was destroyed, Kara's family knew what Superman's father had done.

So in order to protect their daughter, and also to protect Karl, who holds the secret code of life in his body, Kara's parents asked her to sit in the escape pod and catch up with Karl to protect him.

This is the setting in the drama version and the game. The setting in the comic is different, but since this is the world of film and television, it should be based on the setting of the film and television drama.

And Kevin also remembered that Kara mentioned in the movie that her responsibility was to protect Superman.

"You are responsible for protecting Clark, I know, but...the Clark in this universe...Kal-El, he should have never been to Earth."

"Then I can't help you anymore. I want to find him and protect him."

"The universe is so big, where are you going to find him? And don't forget, your spaceship has been destroyed and you have no way to return to the universe."

"Then I won't help you."

Kara said firmly, she whispered:

"What Zod wants to do has nothing to do with me, and I have no obligation to protect the people on Earth.

"...As soon as I landed on Earth, you people on Earth captured me and locked me up. For such a long time, they treated me like an experimental subject. Why do I have to help people on Earth?"

Different from Kal-El's experience, Kara in this universe was caught and thrown into prison as soon as she landed, where she spent the whole day drawing blood for tests and experiments.

And because she didn't have a combat uniform and had never been exposed to the sun, Kara was a little girl at the time, so she was taken away and used as an experiment.

This time, it takes more than ten years.

If Batman and the others hadn't rescued her today, she might have spent her whole life in that dark underground.

After such an experience, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect her to be able to save humanity.

In the movie, Kara felt weak when she saw humans being slaughtered by Zod and decided to help Barry. But now that Kevin's Atlantis is here, Zod may not necessarily be able to communicate with humans.

Without the scene of Zod massacring humans, Kara may not be able to help Kevin yet.

But Kevin also has a way:

"Then consider it as reward."

"What?"

"I am not a human being. According to this world, I am a member of the kingdom of Atlantis. We live under the water and are completely different species from humans.

"The person who hurt you is a human being, and the person who saved you is an Atlantean. So as a reward for saving you, it should be okay for you to help me, an Atlantean, a little bit, right?"

Human beings are human beings, and people from the bottom of the sea are people from the bottom of the sea.

Even in a sense, the underwater people are aliens to humans.

The group that kidnapped Kara and made her a test subject was human, and the person who rescued her was Kevin, an Atlantean.

Helping Kevin is not the same as helping humanity.

Kevin's sneaky change of concept really left Kara speechless.

When Kara was still thinking about how to reject Kevin, Kevin gave her an offer she couldn't refuse:

"And if you want to find Kal Al, you definitely can't do it with your own strength. After all, you don't have a spaceship, but you don't, and someone else does."

"...Zod."

"Yes, as long as you defeat Zod, you can use his spaceship as you like. We won't stop you then. You can go wherever you want."

Kevin moves with emotion and understands with reason.

Whether in terms of kindness or practical significance, Kevin gave Kara a reason to help him.

Kara laughed self-deprecatingly, looked at Kevin and said:

"It seems that I have no other choice but to help you."

"Very good. It looks like we have at least reached a consensus on this issue."

After making sure that Kara would help him, Kevin stood up and said:

"Your body is very weak now and is not suitable for fighting, so what you have to do now is to have a good meal and go out to bask in the sun while the sun goes down outside.

"I think you should have discovered that the earth's sunshine will enhance your physical ability, whether it is strength, speed or other things. Anyway, there is no harm in getting more sunshine."

"Where are you going?"

Carla saw that Kevin was thinking about leaving and subconsciously asked.

Kevin counted the time and said to Kara:

"Go and meet Zod. The time he has set for Earth is almost up."

Zod gave mankind one day to find the citizens of Krypton who were "protected" by the earth. Today is actually the time for mankind to give him the answer.

But before that, Kevin had asked Mera to contact the human government and asked them to leave the matter entirely to Kevin.

Kevin is the king of Atlantis and has promised humans to meet aliens on their behalf.

It was too late for humans to be happy, so they decisively handed over the task of negotiating with aliens to Kevin.

But at the same time, they also made some demands that were not excessive.

The first is that there must be members of the human government on site, and the second is that they must broadcast the tripartite negotiations.

Perhaps from the perspective of the human world, the meeting of the three groups of Atlantis, Kryptonians, and humans is an event of considerable historical significance.

They may even think that the three parties cannot fight, after all, Zod seems to be easy to talk to, and Kevin is a 'gentle' king.

They just want to get enough benefits from it.

Kevin didn't stop them. They wanted to send people to die. That was their business.

But Kevin also has his own requirements for this.

He set the location for the negotiations at the seaside.

The place where Kryptonians and humans originally negotiated was in the wilderness chosen by America.

In the wilderness without any cities around, if Krypton really wants to do something to humans, they can immediately launch long-range artillery strikes.

But now that Atlantis is a country that is more technologically advanced than humans, humans are naturally willing to obey Kevin's request and set the negotiation location at the seaside.

The reason why it is the seaside, not the sea, is Zod's request.

According to his words, he respects the ethnic groups on the earth and is willing to cooperate with them to a certain extent, but it does not mean that he must follow the requirements of the earth.

Negotiating on the beach is the limit of the sincerity Zod can show.

He can no longer let humans take advantage of him.

Therefore, on the day of the negotiation, some Atlanteans and human military forces represented by Kevin.

And a reporter who shouldn't be here, gathered at the edge of the coast far away from the city.

"Hello, I am Lieutenant General Chris Marlowe, responsible for this negotiation on behalf of mankind."

As soon as Kevin came over, a white general came out from the human military side and stretched out his hand to Kevin.

Kevin did not shake hands with him, but focused on his skin color, then looked past him at the other senior generals behind him, and then asked the lieutenant general named Chris:

"You...just a few people here?"

"The human army is waiting in the distance, I think you should know."

Chris chatted politely with Kevin.

He clearly knew that Atlantis's technology was much higher than that on land, so he should be able to easily detect the troops waiting in the distance.

But Chris didn't know that Kevin wasn't asking about the military.

He is looking for someone.

A man who has appeared in both "Man of Steel" and "Justice League" (Zhao's version).

Martian Manhunter.

In Zack's version of Justice League, Martian Manhunter has appeared. He is the general who appeared in "Superman: Man of Steel" and was responsible for negotiating with Zod.

Martian Manhunter is a very powerful 'alien'. If he can get his help to deal with Zod, Kevin will be more confident.

It's just a pity that Kevin didn't see him here.

Come to think of it, in this universe, Martian Manhunter does not exist on Earth.

But I think this is normal.

After all, Martian Manhunter did not appear in "The Flash". If Martian Manhunter was really present at the time, he probably would not really let Zod roam the earth.

Not finding Martian Manhunter, Kevin found a random topic to skip the topic. He pointed at the camera and female reporter in the distance and said:

"You are quite leisurely and even brought irrelevant people here."

"...Members of Congress believe that contact with aliens and nobles is a very meaningful thing, so they arranged for reporters to come."

Chris explained.

In fact, this is the result after Congress restrained itself.

Otherwise, Kevin would not only see a reporter and camera here.

"Meaningful?" Kevin smiled half-heartedly, "It does make sense."

A ‘meaning’ that allows the humans of this world to see how fragile they really are.

Kevin didn't want to talk anymore, raised his head and looked at the sky, waiting for Zod's spaceship to arrive.

But at this time, the female reporter over there came over with the photographer.

At the same time, there were also reminders from his subordinates around Chris. Chris listened carefully and said to Kevin:

"...The reporter wants to interview you, you see..."

"If you're not in the mood, tell them to stay away from here."

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, before Chris could speak, he heard the female reporter say in a steady and clear voice:

"We...we just wanted to say thank you!"

Kevin looked back at the female reporter, who continued:

"You are the Poseidon, right? Many people on land want to thank you for saving them, so..."

"Now is not the time, Louise...Ms. Lane?"

After looking at the female reporter's badge, Kevin was about to end the conversation, but when the female reporter's name was read out, he was stunned again.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Kevin's slight daze was not noticed by anyone, but Louise still heard the confusion in Kevin's words, as if he knew her.

Squinting slightly as he looked at Louise, Kevin shook his head:

"It's okay, and you should retreat, Zod and the others are coming."

Regardless of why Superman's girlfriend is here, it has nothing to do with Kevin.

While a few people were chatting, the Kryptonian spacecraft had already come from above and landed here.

Zod and the others arrived at the place appointed by humans on time as agreed.

Next comes negotiation time.

But the problem is, Supergirl hasn't come yet, and you can imagine that Zod will be very angry later.

"We have to fight anyway, so why not take action directly...Forget it, let's wait for him to take action first."

Kevin originally wanted the Atlantis fleet hidden on the bottom of the sea to catch the Kryptonians by surprise.

But if you think about it carefully, this may cause humans to blame the Kryptonians for destroying the earth on Kevin's head, so Kevin gave up this very tempting idea.

After all, as the king of Atlantis, Kevin now has to consider the underwater world to some extent.
