Chapter 352: The Flower of Hope Blooming in a World of Despair
Smallwell Farm.
The retired Injustice Superman was lying on the fence on the porch, staring out into the night.
The environment on the farm is quiet, except for the occasional sound of crickets.
Looking at the stars in the sky and stroking the head of the puppy beside him, he felt unusually calm.
"Where is she?"
Louise came out with her clothes on and saw her husband looking at the stars outside and asked him.
"Greenland, she and a team of scientists from all over the world are working hard to cool down the glaciers."
"Cooling down? Sounds like a worthwhile activity."
Louise asked her husband, "Aren't you going to join them?"
"No, you don't need me, Laila can handle it."
Superman casually picked up a ball at hand, sighed slightly and said.
Louise walked up to her husband and put her hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong? Clark, you look worried."
"No, there isn't."
Superman threw the baseball in his hand, and the puppy immediately chased him happily.
"It's just that I have an unreal feeling. Time flies so fast. Our daughter has grown from the introverted little girl at the beginning to a superhero with responsibility in the blink of an eye."
"Time always slips away unconsciously."
Louise put her hand on Superman's wooden railing, conveyed her warmth to him, and said with a smile: "This is the helplessness of life, Clark, but we have not wasted our years."
"I know, Louise, time is always so ruthless, it seems to take away everything, I am so scared, if it takes you and Lila away from me, I think I would rather time stay forever This moment."
"Look, the stars in the sky are so beautiful."
Superman was silent for a while and pointed his hand to the sky, "I really hope that everyone can look at the stars in the sky like me, without burning their eyes or turning their heads."
Louise didn't speak, she just held her husband's hand tightly and watched the stars in the sky with him.
The two of them were admiring the stars in the sky together when they suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Injustice Superman raised his head and was surprised to see Peter appearing in front of him.
"Godfather?"
Superman cried out in surprise.
Peter's eyebrows moved when he heard the other party calling him godfather.
He didn't expect that in this Superman's dream world, he would become the other person's godfather.
And the unjust Batman actually married Wonder Woman!
Obviously in reality, Wonder Woman is the woman who stays with you after Lois dies.
Could it be that Injustice Superman is a person with special hobbies?
Rubbing his chin, Peter fell into thought.
In the real world, after Peter used Kryptonite to subdue the unjust Superman, the opponent seemed to fall into a coma under the influence of something.
Until he imprisoned this guy with the help of Injustice Batman, he still showed no sign of waking up.
So Peter entered his dream.
He didn't expect Superman's dream to be so wonderful.
Not only did Batman kill the Joker and go to jail for him, but the guy also got a perfect daughter.
Lila, who is kind and full of justice, is probably the other self reflected in the heart of the unjust Superman.
He knew that he had been sliding towards the abyss, but he was unable and unwilling to escape from the abyss, so his ideal self appeared in his dream.
He pinned all the beauty and hope in this ideal on his daughter.
But the dream will eventually wake up, and what we face is the reality of having nothing.
"Clark."
Peter faced Clark, whose temples turned white, and said to him, "We can talk."
Louise said hello to Peter, and then looked at her husband who looked a little strange.
Superman smiled and patted Lois' hand, "You go back and rest first. I'll talk to my godfather and go upstairs later."
Louise nodded and walked upstairs hesitantly.
"Godfather, why are you here so late?"
Superman stood up straight and asked Peter.
"Because it's time."
"time?"
Superman was stunned for a moment, looking at the distant starry sky with confused eyes.
"Speaking of which, I've been hearing a lot of voices recently, as if they were on the edge, calling me, seeming to bring me back to a place where I should be."
His eyes revealed a weakness, "I don't know what that is. I've been trying to block them, but I can't. Godfather, what is that?"
"That is the call of reality. Although this place is perfect, it is not reality."
Peter walked up to him and looked into his eyes, "You should know what happened in reality, and you should understand that this is just a dream world."
"Reality?"
Superman was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Is this a dream?"
"Yes, a dream you don't want to wake up from."
"You mean Lila doesn't exist?!"
Superman took a step back, a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's impossible. I grew up watching her. She is so real. She can't be false. Her life has just begun. How could it end like this?"
Making a reluctant sound, Superman's head suddenly felt a stinging pain. Then a stream of information entered his mind.
He covered his forehead and quickly understood what happened.
The scenes of fighting with Peter in the Fortress of Solitude before appeared in his mind.
"No! No!"
With a painful sound, Injustice Superman fell to his knees helplessly.
"Impossible, why did the God of Fate do this to me? Why?!"
With tears welling up in his eyes, he burst into tears.
I thought I had everything, but in the end I found that everything was false.
If I hadn't had this dream in the beginning, it wouldn't be so painful.
Knowing that what he might have once had was shattered in front of him, Superman's spirit that had been maintained finally couldn't hold up and collapsed instantly.
Peter looked at the collapsed Injustice Superman, walked to the porch, and looked at the stars in the sky.
"There is one thing I think your dream is correct."
Peter said to him slowly: "That is, this world needs a superman. After all, there are countless powerful and mysterious enemies in this world, but it does not need a superman like you. She should have powerful strength, pure heart, strong spirit, and unswerving love for mankind."
Peter said to him with a complicated expression: "She will be an upright, honest and kind person who will not be defeated by the torrent of reality, but will change the direction of the torrent."
"I saw these in Leila. Although she is just a person in a dream, maybe in another world, she really exists."
Peter took out the ruby and said slowly in Superman's astonished eyes: "You will be imprisoned as a punishment for you, Clark, but this world needs a superman, her name is-Leila. Patrick Kent."
"What?!"
Superman made a sound with disbelief on his face.
Peter frowned and activated the power of the ruby. An invisible energy instantly swept across the space of the entire farm.
Most of the magic power in the ruby was instantly drawn away.
The ability of the Sandman also includes the creation of dream creatures.
According to Peter's understanding, the Sandman once created a guy named Collins.
This guy sneaked out of the dream world in 1916 and turned into a serial killer who enjoyed killing people in Berlin, Germany.
In addition, there are many creatures in the dream kingdom of the Sandman, and crows and various servants follow him.
Although Peter has mastered the three artifacts of the Sandman, he is not proficient in the control of these magic powers.
If you really create a nightmare creature, especially a powerful nightmare creature, it is estimated that a lot of magic power will be consumed.
So he has never tried it before.
Now he wants to exercise his authority and use the magic in the ruby to create a powerful nightmare creature.
As for the nightmare creature, according to Peter's understanding, it will only be completely loyal to itself.
If you want to take it back, the other party will disappear and turn into magic to return to the dream.
When the Sandman went to Berlin to deal with Collins, Collins, who had powerful power, did not resist at all, and his body turned into magic and was absorbed by the Sandman.
If there hadn't been an accident, Collins would have died.
Unjust Superman didn't know what Peter was thinking at the moment. At this moment, he was shocked to see the farm enveloped by an invisible force.
The stars in the night sky seemed to emit a dazzling light in his eyes.
Everything was illuminated in his eyes.
In the dazzling light, Superman saw a familiar figure appear at the farm.
Blue uniform, red cloak, black short hair, the other party slowly walked towards him.
"Huff!"
Suddenly woke up from his sleep, Unjust Superman gasped.
After a while, he found himself imprisoned in a room.
He was wearing a restraining suit and was weak all over.
He clenched his fists and wanted to hammer the glass in front of him, but found that it didn't work at all.
His power seemed to be completely imprisoned here.
"Damn it! Louise, Leila!"
He covered his head and angrily knocked on the glass wall with his hands.
After knocking several times, the glass was not damaged at all.
Sitting on the ground helplessly, Injustice Superman lowered his head in pain.
The scenes in the dream kept playing out in front of his eyes.
Lois, who had accompanied him all his life, Leila, whom he had watched since childhood, and Bruce, his best friend in the dream
All these existences turned into bubbles.
"No! There is also Peter Padrick, he said. He said that the world needs a Superman, Leila, Leila may still exist, she exists, I saw her"
Murmuring, Injustice Superman quickly stood up and shouted outside: "I want to see the Godfather, I want to see Peter Padrick, open the door, I want to see him!"
After knocking for a long time, seeing that no one paid attention to him, Superman finally sat on the ground helplessly.
Is everything really just a dream-like dream?
Just as he fell into despair, suddenly, a voice sounded outside.
"Dad."
