Chapter 6

Venom: "Dad, Da-da?" —— Babbling

Gordon: "Yes, you are my new son. Come here and let Dad hold you..." —— Kind and Affectionate

Kent: "You’re really good at this, aren’t you?" —— Sarcastic

Gordon: "Of course. Normally, adopting a few superpowered aliens as my sons is my greatest pleasure. Hearing a bunch of moronic aliens call me 'Dad' or 'Papa' and recognize me as their father is the most delightful and refreshing thing for me." —— Retaliatory

Me (Voiceover): "What a refined hobby of yours..."

---

Venom: "Dad..." —— Slowly Rising

Gordon: "Ah~ Good son."

Venom: "Go to hell! Bastard!" —— Suddenly lunging at Gordon

*Bang, Bang, Bang* —— Three gunshots, Venom's surprise attack fails as he is shot down by Gordon

Gordon: "Hmph (blows on the gun barrel), you can't be too careful with alien monsters." —— Dismissive

Me (Voiceover): "You were holding a gun while recognizing your son?"

---

Kent: "Tsk! What a pity." —— Regretful

Gordon: "Don’t be regretful. Not every alien is as smart and sensible as you. When you were just a baby, you knew to choose the right path, recognize me as your father, and share the same breath, fate, and heart with the organization. You should be proud of your choice." —— Comforting

Kent: "Proud? With dozens of guns pointing at me back then, how could I not agree? And proud?" —— Angry

Me (Voiceover): "This dark history... Should I go back and watch the first twenty seasons first? I’m really conflicted."

---

Jonathan: "Allow me to interrupt your father-son reminiscence again. The stun grenades for superpowered beings aren’t very effective on him. He’s about to recover."

Gordon: "What? Not very effective? One shot took down that arrogant Green Lantern cop just now. How can he recover so quickly with three direct hits? Did he take a potion? And you said this moronic monster was a newborn who doesn’t even understand our language. How could he have a premeditated attack on me? Did you mess up? That’s rare."

Jonathan: "I didn’t mess up. After he fully infiltrated the host’s consciousness, he absorbed all the host’s knowledge, which is why he wasn’t deceived. This just happened, and I didn’t have time to tell you. As for why the stun grenades aren’t very effective, it’s because the [Venom Suit] is his true form, with bones on the outside. The stun grenades affect the spinal nerves of the host, not the true form, so the effect is minimal." —— Explaining

Gordon: "So, as long as we eliminate the [Venom Suit], we can subdue him?" —— Inquiring

Jonathan: "Yes."

Gordon: "Why didn’t you say so earlier?" —— Takes out a spray can and walks forward, spraying the [Venom] who hasn’t recovered from the stun grenade

Venom: "Aaaaah~~" —— In unbearable pain, rolling on the ground

Me (Voiceover): "What kind of pepper spray is this, so brutal..."

---

Jonathan: "The [Venom Suit Remover]? Indeed, a good idea. Directly attacking the true form is much more effective."

Kent: "You really had a trick up your sleeve."

Gordon: "What do you mean by 'trick up my sleeve'? Even if we didn’t fully understand this black tech, we couldn’t possibly not study how to put on and take off the [Venom Suit]. You make me sound so sinister." —— Innocent

Me (Voiceover): "You’re not sinister? You really have the nerve to say that with a straight face!"

---

Kent: "Not sinister? If you weren’t, why would you hide a Kryptonite ring in your belt buckle? Clearly, you were always on guard, ready to eliminate me if I betrayed you and the organization."

Me (Voiceover): "No wonder you didn’t take advantage of the chaos just now. I see."

---

Gordon: "Nonsense, good son, don’t think too much. I was guarding against the possibility that you might be controlled by someone like Jonathan with mind control abilities and do evil. I would only use it to stop you in an emergency, out of necessity. This is my fatherly love. How can you misinterpret my love with malice?"

Kent: "Pah! Want me to not misinterpret you? Fine, give me the Kryptonite ring, and I’ll destroy it."

Gordon: "Just this? Sure, no problem. Why didn’t you say so earlier? We’re father and son, after all." —— Hands the ring to Kent

Me (Voiceover): "Really giving it? Can’t be serious..."

---

Kent: "This, this is the real deal..." —— Unbelievable

Kent, after a 0.00001-second pause, "Smash" —— Quickly throws the ring to the corner, shattering it

Kent: "Haha, hahaha, twenty years, twenty years of enduring humiliation! The last Kryptonite in the universe is finally destroyed. I am invincible! I am finally free! Foolish humans! Repent for your past actions! Tremble! Prepare to pay the price and face judgment!" —— Majestic and Dominant

Gordon: "Yes, I repent. After years of research by the organization’s scientists in lead-lined labs, the process of artificially creating Kryptonite is now very mature. As long as the materials are available, liquid Kryptonite can be produced in a typical elementary school lab. The materials are water, salt, carbohydrates, and catalyst X, and its effects are even stronger than natural Kryptonite..." —— Kneeling in repentance

Kent: "So, any ordinary person who drinks a sip of catalyst X... (Majestic state disappears, obedient state activates) Oh, Father, please get up. It’s unheard of for a son to kneel to his father. You’re making me lose years of my life." —— Quickly helps Gordon up, dusts off the dirt from Gordon’s pants, extremely submissive

Kent, while helping Gordon up, realizes that all his superpowers diminish when he gets close to Gordon, just like when he had the Kryptonite ring, "Damn, this old fox has turned himself into a living Kryptonite. How did I not notice... Damn it, it’s because he always wore the Kryptonite ring 24/7, giving me the illusion that nothing had changed. Plan A failed, time to activate the backup Plan B." —— Inner Monologue

Me (Voiceover): "Gordon said you were smart and sensible. Now it seems he was right."

---

Gordon: "Oh, so my good son has understood my well-intentioned efforts?" —— Moved

Kent: "Understood, understood. You are my real father! I overestimated myself, thinking there was an opportunity to have ulterior motives against you and the organization. I said a lot of nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart." —— Quickly softening, mending the relationship

Gordon: "Don’t worry, I won’t take your crazy talk to heart. I’m your father!" —— Happy and Relieved

Jonathan: "The director and his son are reconciled. Congratulations, congratulations." —— Flattering

Me (Voiceover): "How sappy. Baldy, what do you have on Gordon, or what is he threatening you with?"
