Chapter 334 My Godson, You Must Not Be a Bad Person
Padrick Farm.
Clark apologized guiltily to Peter, "I'm sorry, Godfather, I didn't mean to attack you."
After being beaten up by Peter using green kryptonite, Clark quickly came to his senses.
Azu next to him looked at Peter regretfully.
He was a little regretful that his father did not inform him, otherwise he would definitely rush to the scene and clean up Clark.
Now that Clark is back to normal, he has no reason to take action even if he wants to.
"You should reflect on yourself, Clark. Beauty always affects your judgment."
Azu folded his arms and mocked Clark: "If it weren't for dad, I guess you would drive Lana to the metropolis on a motorcycle. You would even rob a bank, or maybe join some gang."
"Feel sorry."
Clark sincerely apologized to Peter again, "Godfather, I... I don't know what I was thinking at that time."
"We both know that's not what you really think, Clark."
Peter patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you get back to normal."
Clark's behavior was not something to be punished harshly, and he was given a beating.
"Thank you, Godfather. If it weren't for you, maybe I would really do the bad behavior Azu said."
Clark thought of what Mr. Excellence (Lex Luthor) said.
If you make the wrong choice, you may really go further and further towards destruction.
"No, I know you, Clark. I watched you grow up. I know what kind of person you are and what kind of person you will become in the future."
"Button! Button! Button!"
As soon as Peter finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Lex Luthor opened the door and came in, greeting everyone.
Clark looked at him doubtfully, "Are you the Mr. Excellence just now?"
"Actually, my real name is Lex Luthor. Yes, it's the same name as Lex Luthor in your world."
Lex tells Peter and others his real name.
At this time, Star-Lord, Loki, McBee and Kara came down from upstairs with Queen holding Raven in her arms.
When they saw the middle-aged man who called himself Lex Luthor, they all came out to join the crowd.
"I am not from your world, I come from another world."
Lex Luthor confessed his identity to everyone.
Kara and others were all stunned when they heard him say that they were from another world.
McBee looked at him in shock, "Another world?"
"Yes, I used the interdimensional teleportation machine and opened the space-time channel with the blessing of the Mother Box, trying to enter a parallel universe. That parallel universe is what I have been observing. I know that world very well, but something happened in the middle. By some accident, I seem to be caught in your universe.”
Listening to what the other party said, Peter suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, he tried to teleport to a world without an anchor point, and ended up opening a space gap.
This may have led to Lex Luthor entering his own universe.
Rubbing his chin for breath, he asked Lex, "Why did you try to enter another universe?"
Lex was silent for a moment and said: "Because there is no hope in my world. If I want to stop him, I must enter a parallel world and use the power of the Justice League."
Clark asked doubtfully: "Stop who?"
"You! Clark, Kent."
"What?"
Clark was stunned.
"To be precise, it's you from my world."
Lex gasped and said: "Superman established a centralized rule and ruled the people with a high-pressure policy. He spread the flames of war to the entire universe."
Listening to Lex's words, everyone fell into a daze.
Clark was particularly frustrated.
He saw in the mirror the future in which he hurt Raven, but he didn't expect that he would become the number one villain in other worlds.
Could it be that what he got was really a villain's script? !
Peter was relatively calm. He picked up the coffee at hand and asked Lex: "What happened in your world?"
Lex organized his words and said: "The Joker designed it to make Superman kill his wife Lois and her unborn child by mistake, and at the same time destroy Metropolis in one fell swoop. That was almost everything about Superman." "After that , Batman tried the Joker, but Clark could no longer suppress his flame of revenge. He broke into the interrogation room and personally ended the Joker's evil and his own kindness in a few words. "
Lex briefly recounted the pain experienced by the Superman of his own world.
"Once we took that step, there was no turning back, and then he rallied nearly the entire Justice League under his banner, transferred criminals from Arkham Asylum, and killed his former comrade Green Arrow for his involvement in the invasion of Solitude. Bastion, where he burned Martian Manhunter alive with a heat ray and broke Batman's spine."
"He wanted to establish a path of peace and order, but in the end he embarked on the path of pursuing centralization, and power will corrupt people's hearts. The indestructible steel body was corroded by power, and the power to maintain peace finally became an excuse for wanton killing. ”
Azu listened to Lex's story and wanted to say that he thought Superman from another world did the right thing.
If someone killed his own family, he might follow the same path.
Star-Lord's brows furrowed, and he asked Lex: "Is the Batman in your world dead?"
"No, he is the leader of our resistance. Although the resistance has suffered all losses in five years, he has not given up and has been looking for the last weak opportunity. We will not give up either."
"so."
Peter pondered for a moment and asked him: "You are the last hope, right?"
Lex nodded, "My purpose is to seek help to deal with Superman. The power of the resistance has been almost completely destroyed by Superman. With the strength of everyone remaining, we can use the mother box to open the time and space channel."
Everyone fell silent after listening to Lex's words.
late at night.
Clark, who was worried, walked up to the "secret fortress" on the second floor of the barn.
What Lex Luthor said shocked him so much that he still couldn't get his mind out of it.
Standing on the edge of the barn, Clark stared at the crops in the distance and exhaled a long breath.
Lowering his head and looking at the device in his wrist, Clark thought of his behavior after being affected by red kryptonite during the day.
My behavior at that time also seemed like a superman who had lost control.
Could he also become the tyrant Lex said?
"Squeak!"
When Clark was lost in confusion, the sound of wooden stairs sounded, and Peter stepped up the stairs.
"godfather?!"
Clark was a little surprised to see Peter appear.
"I knew you were here, Clark."
"Yes, I like to come over and look at the stars."
Clark looked at the astronomical telescope placed next to him, which he had placed here when he was a child.
Before awakening his super powers, Clark liked to use it to look at the stars and Lana.
(Padrick's Farm is close to Lana's home)
Peter walked over to Clark and looked at the stars above his head.
At the same time, he said to Clark: "Generally speaking, when you look up at the stars, Clark, you will feel confused. I guess you are in this state now, right?"
Clark looked at Peter in confusion, "Yes, I. I am very afraid, afraid that I will become Superman in Lex Luthor's world. Because of that kind of thing, I will even have the same idea as him. If you and I My parents had an accident, and I don’t know what I would do if Smallville was razed to the ground, Godfather.”
Peter put his hand on Clark's shoulder, "No, you won't, Clark, because he has gradually abandoned humanity, and in the end only 'gods' are left, and you won't. I believe that no matter what you go through, you won't." Will be abandoned."
Clark hesitated and asked Peter: "Godfather, why would someone in another world abandon humanity?"
Peter turned his gaze to the night sky.
After a while, he organized his words and said to Clark: "Perhaps, after he lost his lover, child, and the city he protected on the same day, he realized the helplessness of human nature. It is not the so-called care, empathy, and compassion, but powerlessness. Feeling - the powerlessness of being unable to bear pain and make up for shortcomings. This is the sadness of being a human being, the powerlessness that is inevitable and uncontrollable when facing others, society, and death. "
"Human nature is the cry after experiencing despair, never wishing such a thing to happen to anyone else; human nature is also the question indulged in grief, why is it only me who encounters such misfortune."
Peter paused and said to Clark, who was deep in thought: "He probably thought that he was bound by the 'boundaries' and 'norms' of human nature and lost everything. Since human nature is so painful, he should abandon it completely, so he chose to dilute the pain with anger. , Use cruelty to cover up vulnerability... The expression of pain and vulnerability is not necessarily killing. If you only know how to kill, such a person is probably a bad person. "
"And you, Clark, you are my godson, you must not be a bad person."
Clark's expression changed slightly after listening to Peter's words.
He looked into Peter's eyes, "Will you always trust me, Godfather."
"Of course, I always believed in you, Clark."
A warmth flowed through Clark's body.
He took off the anti-kryptonite device from his wrist and handed it to Peter, "I have always believed in you, Godfather, always. Now I don't need it anymore."
"Why?"
"Because I guess, this thing doesn't make me a person without weaknesses."
Clark spoke his mind.
"I am willing to give my weaknesses to my godfather."
