Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next day.

"Get up, don't sit on the ground anymore."

Clark was shocked that the vision before the time travel appeared on him again, and at this time, Luthor had already walked over and stretched out his hand to Clark who was sitting on the ground.

"I have to admit that you did shock me a lot today, but tell me the truth, are you Kryptonians really afraid of kryptonite?"

On this day, the importance of kryptonite was greatly reduced. In the past, when he lost to Superman, Luthor could still blame it on Superman's strength being too strong. Even with the weakening of kryptonite, he was still not his opponent.

But this time, Clark's performance was really unexpected.

"For the time being... it's still effective."

Clark was not very clear about this. He just felt that he suddenly had a surge of power at that time, and the next moment he broke free from Luther's shackles and flew out.

"Okay, whether it works or not, I have no other choice."

Luther pulled Clark up, and the two looked at Superman who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Today is finally safe, but Martian Hunter..."

Luther began to think about the problem of Martian Hunter. Although Martian Hunter could not teleport with a large group of infected people like Eve, and most of the powerful ground infected people had been defeated by them, it was still a threat.

"We will succeed, won't we?"

Clark's tone was full of hope. Even though he knew that he might leave this world at some point, Clark had already put this worry behind him, and the world would definitely return to peace.

Looking at Superman who was cared for by everyone, Clark firmly believed this.

.....

Next, under the escort of the heroes, after a day, all the infected were sent to Gotham City, and here, Clark also saw Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, who now rule the Gotham Forest.

"Oh? This child... I remember Superman doesn't have a second child?"

The battle suit on Clark's body showed his identity as a Kryptonian, but everyone on the earth, whether heroes or villains, knew that at this time, there was only Superman's family of Kryptonians on the earth. (Kara in this universe has not come yet, and Supergirl only has power but is not a Kryptonian.)

"Regarding this, I am actually Kal-El, but from another universe."

Hearing Clark's explanation, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but they did not continue to ask, after all, it was meaningless.

The world has become like this, and the question of where Clark, a Kryptonian, came from is no longer important at all.

With a wave of their hands, the two signaled Clark and the heroes to leave.

In the end, they are just cooperative relationships. Staying together will only breed conflicts.

Superman and Wonder Woman immediately returned to the Fortress of Solitude, while Damian returned to Wayne Manor. Now that he can be a little free, he can also go to Wayne Manor to recover all of Batman's legacy and bury the hastily buried Batman, Nightwing and Tim in the Gotham Cemetery.

Right next to Damian's grandpa and grandma, who are Batman's parents.

Clark also plans to return to the Fortress of Solitude. Although the affairs are not so busy now, what if? Maybe there is something he can help with.

But just after Clark left Poison Ivy's plant fortress, Luthor had been waiting for a long time.

"Finally out. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Luthor? Didn't you go back to the Fortress of Solitude with Superman and the others?"

Today's Fortress of Solitude is completely maintained by Cyborg and Luthor. Logically, the other party should not have time to find him.

"Why go back? The closed-circuit communication system I helped design will basically not have any problems as long as the Fortress of Solitude is still there. As for information processing, Cyborg's computer brain is much better than me, and he doesn't need my help at all."

Saying this, Luther waved his hand.

"Besides, you also know that with the exposure of my plan this time, it has caused dissatisfaction among many heroes. They themselves know that there will be many sacrifices in the battle with the infected, but they don't allow me to use such a plan to exchange the best results with the least sacrifice. A bunch of hypocritical guys, going back will be useless except for quarreling with them."

Clark did not refute Luther's words, but

At the same time, he did not agree. He thought that these heroes were doing their best to protect ordinary people, and they should not be said like this.

But at the same time, Clark, who still retained the mentality of an ordinary person rather than a hero, also understood that Luthor's statement was not completely wrong.

In battles, especially wars, leaders are using the least sacrifice to exchange for the greatest benefits, which is why there was a saying in ancient times that kindness cannot lead an army.

But heroes are different. The heroes who control this world are all kind and good people. They would rather die than sacrifice others for victory.

This situation is particularly obvious under the leadership of Superman.

"Let's go, accompany me to a place, there are some things that I think need to be given to you."

"Ah?"

While Clark was still thinking about what Luthor was going to give him, Luthor had already started the thrusters and flew into the air.

Seeing that the other party did not elaborate on his idea, Clark did not ask more questions and followed him directly.

And this time, they came to the ruins of Metropolis.

"Why are you here? Hasn't Metropolis been completely destroyed?"

Clark had seen the towering buildings of Metropolis with his own eyes. Until now, this city was like a symbol of modern human civilization. Now, compared with this endless wasteland, a sad mood arises spontaneously.

"Humans are best at rebuilding the future in ruins. It seems that you are still a Kryptonian after all. You obviously have such power, but you feel sad because of such a thing."

Luthor's ruthless words interrupted Clark's sadness, making him say with a smile.

"Then as a human, do you really have no emotions at all?"

Luthor, who was digging the rubble, paused and then recovered.

"That's right, I won't be sad about such a thing. Since it has happened, just solve any problems you encounter now. Being sad is just a waste of time."

Luthor said, but the physiological changes in his body were captured by Clark's super five senses. It was a sad feeling.

Yes, Luthor may be arrogant, proud, self-centered, and a human supremacist who values ​​strength above all else, but he is also a human being, and Metropolis is where he has always lived. How could he not react at all to the destruction of his home?

But Luthor knew that he had no sad events. Now that 99% of humans have died, as the smartest human being today, he must remain absolutely calm to get through this difficult time.

"Found it."

After noticing the change in Luthor's mentality, Clark's last bit of resistance to Luthor disappeared, and the inherent impression brought by the comics had been covered by the real Luthor in front of him.

At this time, Luthor, who had dug through the rubble, looked at a metal door on the ground and smiled.

"You should know from the comics that super villains always leave solid underground bases in various places, and this is it."
