In the incubation room of the Krypton immigration ship, Merlin and Joe Al's phantoms are facing each other.
Of course, it is not a confrontation on the strength level. In the face of Merlin, Joe's illusion lacks the power to fight him, and this boat can't trap Merlin. This confrontation is more of a conflict at the ideological level.
The source of their dispute stems from Clark Kent's "mission".
"Your concern for friends is touching."
Joe's phantom said blankly:
"But this is the housework of the Kryptonians, Earthlings, you shouldn't interfere."
"This happened on Earth!"
Merlin sneered unabashedly:
"Karl Al in your mouth also has a legitimate Earthman identity. I call him Clark, that's his name! He is a peripheral member of SHIELD and is about to join the group defending this world. Choose whether you want to be a hero, instead of being pushed by someone and forcing a decision!"
"That's not your turn to tell me this!"
Joe’s phantom tone became unkind:
"If you are as great as you claim, let it go and let Carl tell me his decision!"
"He is only 23 years old, you bad old man!"
Merlin said uncomfortably:
"All the world he lives in is his family's farm. Occasionally, he travels. Before meeting me, his imaginary future is to inherit his father's poorly managed farm and become a farmer. Faced with this is related to his life Choice, he does not have enough knowledge and experience to make a correct judgment."
"You didn't give him time to think at all!"
Merlin pushed the glasses, he said:
"Young people will always be attracted by what sounds like a great cause. They are impulsive and not thinking well. You want to use this to achieve your purpose and force Clark into the future you have prepared for him."
"What about you? Earthlings."
Joe's phantom snorted, he said:
"What do you want my Carl to do for you?"
"Karl carries the master key with him. I see everything he does. You are just using my Karl to let him dedicate his strength to your defense...You dare to admit that you and Karl Isn’t there a factor in your friendship? You said to him to choose, but in fact? Didn’t you plan a future for him too?"
"At least I won't force him to do something he doesn't want to do!"
Merlin said blankly:
"I gave him all the options, you should do the same, you wandering ghosts of the past..."
"He is a Kryptonian!"
Joe's phantom Shen Sheng said:
"He bears the hope of Krypton, some things he must do! This has nothing to do with choice and freedom, Merlin the Earth, it is like some things you have to do... give it to you in your boss Before the order, at the moment when the disaster occurred in your world, did they ask if you accepted it?"
"So Clark is happier than me."
Merlin shrugged:
"I don't have a choice, but I will give him the choice."
"Okay, don't quarrel!"
Between Merlin and Joe’s phantoms, Clark reached out his hands to stop their quarrel. The young man reached out his hand and placed his finger on the black master that was plugged into the console. On the key, he looked at Joe's phantom and he said:
"I can't answer you now, Joe..."
He says:
"I need to think about it, Merlin is right, you need to give me time for this matter."
"Early human thinking has affected you, Carl."
Joe's phantom did not stop Clark's movements. He still maintained the movement of his hands stacked on his abdomen. He said to Clark:
"But since you need time, I will give you time. Karl, the Kryptonians have a long lifespan. I have enough time to wait for your answer. I believe that you will eventually take on this great mission."
"In the storage room 129 of this spaceship, there is a krypton combat uniform that is still intact. During the time we talked, I made some modifications to it."
Joe's phantom said to Clark:
"Put it on, it will protect you from being hurt. And, seize the time to realize your potential, Carl, Joe's initial judgment is a little wrong, the world is not as peaceful as he thought, there are some forces in this world, It is fatal to you now."
"You need to become stronger to deal with them. You need to become more deterrent to protect those you want to protect."
"Thank you for your reminder, I will."
Clark reached out and pulled out the black master key. At the moment when the master key left the console, Joe's phantom suddenly dissipated in the jump of data sparks, and the light of the entire spacecraft also became dimmer, but this spaceship There was no complete shutdown.
Probably Joe's phantom gave Clark control of the spaceship.
The artificial intelligence left by Clark's real father gave Clark a gift. Although the spacecraft lacked firepower, she could become a private enough private castle belonging to Clark.
"When I knew you were the last Kryptonian, I guessed you might be doomed to make a career."
Merlin reached out and patted Clark on the shoulder. He said to the 23-year-old:
"But I didn't expect that there is such a heavy future for you, a world recovery, Clark, you will be busy later."
"You said, should I accept it? Merlin."
Clark bent down and sat on the steps of the incubation room. The silent young man seemed at a loss at this moment.
As Merlin said, no matter how clever Clarke is, he is just a 23-year-old young man. In his past life, he has not experienced such a scene today.
To be honest, not everyone is lucky enough to see their birth and the meaning behind it.
Clark, the last Kryptonian fell to the ground in the collapse of a world. He was born with all the expectations of a ruined world. For a young man, such a burden is really too heavy.
Facing Clark's question, Merlin did not give a definite answer.
He leaned against the bulkhead of this spaceship, and he said to Clark:
"If you ask me what to do, then my answer is the same as before. The choice is in your hands, Clark."
"You can choose to continue to be an ordinary person, no one will blame you for escape, this cannot be called escape, because you existed as a human from birth, you have the blood of Krypton, but your soul It’s a real earth man. From this point of view, you have every reason to reject all this."
Merlin flicked his finger, he said:
"Alternatively, you can also choose to be a scumbag, interact with different girls every day, and play some ambiguous games to achieve your mission to revive Krypton. Of course, you need to take protective measures and choose your goals carefully. I also I’m not sure if some infectious diseases on Earth will be effective for Kryptonians."
He said to Clark in a relaxed tone:
"In fact, to be honest, this latter choice is not unacceptable. It is the dream of many men, and the best part is that you have a sound reason to do it, and you don’t even need to have any psychology to start a mess. burden."
"No, I won't do that."
Clark shook his head. He stroked the black key in his hand. He said:
"That doesn't meet my ethical standards...my parents didn't teach me that."
"Very well, it seems that you have made a decision."
Merlin snapped his fingers, and he said to Clark:
"Then follow me and I have something to tell you."
"Wait, Merlin."
Clark shouted at Merlin who turned around and left, and he said to Merlin seriously, seriously:

I’m just not going to follow Joe’s plan, it doesn’t mean I will give up rebuilding Krypton... Merlin, if possible, I might use my own way to achieve what my biological parents want me to do. .. that is a world after all."
He wiped his chest, he said:
"If I hope to save it, I will do it."
"What did you say to me?"
Merlin asked in doubt:
"Do you think I will stop you? No, Clark, I won't stop you from saving your hometown. As long as it's not on Earth, I won't stop what you want to do, remember...as long as it's not on Earth."
"Ok."
Clark heard Merlin's meaning, and he nodded.
"Okay, come with me."
Merlin held out his hand and inserted the key of the mysterious house behind Clark. In the hatch of the incubation room, when the hatch was opened again, what appeared to the eyes of the two was no longer the dried up cultivation tree, and It is the warm hall of the mystery house.
Xuan Lan stood at the door as always, welcoming the owner's return.
"Here...I have an impression."
Clark followed Merlin into the mystery house. He looked at the slightly quaint decoration around the mystery house. He said to Merlin:
"After the last coma, I... I seem to have stayed here for a while."
"Yes."
Merlin says:
"You slept in my room for hours, and when you woke up, Lan sent you back to the Kent farm. You should say thank you to Lan. When you were unconscious, it was always She is taking care of you."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Clark politely thanked Xuan Lan, and the female housekeeper waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
"Come on, Clark, sit down."
Merlin sat by the burning fireplace, and in the warmth of the beating flame, he tilted his legs and used a relaxed posture to Clark:
"I have something to tell you."
Xuan Lan stood beside Mei Lin. The female housekeeper waved her hand bell, and soon a ghost servant brought tea and pastries to the host and guests.
"You should remember, Clark, when we first met, I told you, if you want, I will give you a chance to become a hero."
Merlin took a document from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of Clark. He said to the young man:
"Now this opportunity is coming."
"I invite you to join an organization that aims to protect the order of the earth."
Clark reached out and picked up the documents on the table, and Merlin explained to him:
"This organization is a loose group composed of superheroes with various abilities. It is not a standing combat force. It will only be called up when the world encounters a huge crisis."
"The Avengers?"
Clark looked at the code on the file in his hand, and the young farmer raised his head, his eyes full of doubts:
"This name..."
"Don't care about this bad name, it doesn't mean anything."
Merlin waved a little awkwardly, he said:
"If you want, you can call it the Earth Defense Forces, or simply the more straightforward "Justice League" and the like, I mean, the name is meaningless, the important thing is that after these heroes are assembled Things to do."
"After the Cree invasion in 1994, some people of insight realized the threat in the stars."
Merlin crossed his fingers and said to Clark, who was looking at the document carefully:
"After realizing that the normalized ordinary army, including the highest force possessed by human civilization, can not cope with those crises, the prototype of the Avengers has appeared. You should know that in that battle, it included Captain Marvel and Magneto. Many superpowers including Professor Charles have joined together to help the world survive the crisis. This is the prototype of the Avengers."
"Yes, I know that."
Clark said softly:
"At the time I was 14 years old and was participating in a camp organized by the school. That day I saw a blonde lady soaring in the air. When she crushed Kerry's weapon with her fist, it was really cool."
"Well... Carol is really cool."
A trace of nostalgia flashed in Merlin's eyes, he stopped and said to Clark:
"In my opinion, you may be the second one, even stronger than her. Joe's artificial intelligence also said that the potential in your body has only developed a negligible part. After systematic training, I believe , Your true strength will definitely be liberated."
"Of course, what we are going to say today is about your official joining the Avengers."
Merlin told Clark:
"Clark Kent, as a 9-level agent and deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I sincerely invite you again to join this defense organization and join us in contributing to protecting the order of the earth."
He looked at Clark and he said:
"In my opinion, you already have all the conditions to be a hero. I mean, real heroes, not the clowns who jump up and down and compete for profit. Clark, you are all the young people I have met The best ones in this, I really hope you can be a great person."
"Of course, I don't need you to answer immediately, Clark, my young friend, you have enough time to think and make choices."
"We also have enough patience to wait for your reply."
