#661 - Clark: Because of you, I am the luckiest Superman

After Peter entered his room in the hotel and was about to rest, there was a knock on the door.

"Clark?"

Peter didn't expect Clark to wait for him without taking a break.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

"I'm not sleepy. I want to talk to you, Godfather."

Clark said with a heavy heart.

He wanted to say that he actually saw Peter's fight with the Global Guard, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.

After all, he seemed to be a peeping person, and he accidentally saw the Godfather and Mark's mother drinking red wine. If he told others about it, he didn't know if the petty Godfather would be angry.

"Uh-huh, what do you want to talk about, Clark? Is it about you, or about Omni-Man?"

Peter didn't know that Clark was thinking about him and Debbie drinking red wine at this time. He walked to the window, looked at the city skyline outside, and asked Clark.

He knew that Clark was somewhat concerned about Omni-Man's potential rebellion. As for this superhero who was similar to himself, Clark suspected that he might become someone like Omni-Man.

In other words, the Omni-Man allowed him to see a part of himself.

After all, Clark had been in Zatanna's House of Mystery before, and saw himself betraying the Earth, killing Loki, beating Raven and Mark, and rebelling against himself.

Clark looked at Peter's back and asked him hesitantly, "Godfather, tell me, why did Omniman change his mind in the end and not kill Mark?"

After hearing what Clark said, Peter was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to him, "You know what? Clark, when we grow up, we all have a period when we find that our father is not perfect, and may even be 'shameful'. Then we will argue, quarrel, or even break up with our father. Then we will re-recognize the many sides of our father and finally decide our own perception of him."

Clark said to him: "That's not necessarily the case, Godfather. I haven't gone through this stage."

"That means you are mature enough, or you haven't reached that stage yet."

Peter continued, "Omni-Man is a very complicated person. On the one hand, he is indeed unlike you. He is very identified with and loyal to his people. But on the other hand, forming a family on Earth, especially the process of raising a son, has indeed given him different feelings. When he heard that his son had awakened superpowers, his expression was very complicated."

"Matt's superpowers came too late, and he wasn't prepared. I think he often wondered, if Mark never awakened his superpowers, would his life be completely different?"

Peter stared at the night outside, was silent for a moment, and continued, "Because once the Invincible Boy awakened his superpowers, he had to start educating him to be a Vitrum man, and that meant knowing the true mission of their race, which meant that he had to start conquering the earth, so the night Matt said 'invincible', he went to kill the Global Defense Force with his own hands."

Listening to Peter's words, Clark fell into deep thought.

He thought about his own situation.

If my parents are this kind of people, I am afraid I will not be able to become a superman, or the kind of person that the Godfather wants me to be.

"The Omniman actually inherited Superman, that is, Clark, the entanglement between two races and two worlds, but the two of you are obviously different. Even after there is no turning back, you can still feel that he is hesitating from time to time whether to let his son become a Vitrum. If you can feel this entanglement, you can understand why he would be broken by the sentence 'You, Dad, I still have you'."

When Clark heard Peter say "You, Dad, and I still have you", his expression was slightly moved for a moment.

He moved his lips, wanting to say that having parents and a godfather in his journey of growth was the luckiest thing for him, and that he would never betray his godfather no matter what, and would not hurt him even if he died.

Peter had no idea what was going on in Clark's mind at this moment. He sighed slightly, turned around to face Clark, and looked into his eyes.

"After countless entanglements, the love for his son finally overwhelmed all of the obsession and entanglement that the Omni-Man had with his own race, his home planet, and his past identity. So... in the end, it was love that changed him. If one day, Clark, you become the kind of person you fear, I believe that as long as there is love, you can find yourself again."

After Peter comforted Clark, he continued:

"And I also believe that no matter what his father becomes, Invincible Young Hero will always regard him as his father, and will always believe in the father with whom he has spent 18 years of his life. It is this love that ultimately turns the balance in his father's heart."

After listening to Peter's words, Clark exhaled slightly, walked to Peter's side, and looked outside with him. With a complicated expression, he said to him, "So, in the end, it's still love?"

"I think, Godfather, you said that the Superman I become would be the most powerful superhero, but I think that simply having the physique and life code of a Kryptonian cannot make me the most powerful superhero. Just like my other self in the world of injustice, if there is no love, and my heart is full of hatred and fear, then the so-called Superman is just an ordinary superpower."

Peter heard this and looked at Clark in surprise.

This kid has realized the significance of idealistic superman now? !

Indeed, Superman’s strength lies not only in his physique, but also in the beliefs he upholds.

The future Superman's punch that breaks the six-dimensional universe, destroys the multiverse, and gathers all the power is based on the awakened love and pursuit of justice in his heart.

He remembered that in the future Clark went to the six-dimensional universe to seek help in order to stop the conspiracy of the dark goddess Papetula.

But he was soon locked in a confined space without the sun. Without stars and the sun to replenish his energy, Clark became emaciated and almost died.

Just when he was about to be overwhelmed by despair, he heard Batman's voice, remembered his father and children, and saw the sun.

This allowed Clark to stand up again. After being reborn, he flew towards the World Forger and delivered his most powerful punch, knocking the World Forger away and destroying the multiverse he created.

Peter, knowing that Clark would be the most powerful being in the world as long as he believed in love and justice, had been trying to lead him to the path of justice, instilling some positive energy in him, teaching him how to control his own power and to understand and sympathize with humans weaker than him.

Although he is not a good person, he still suppresses some dark thoughts in his heart, hoping that his actions and words will not corrupt Clark.

This will prevent the superman who has infinite possibilities and firmly believes in his inner beliefs and pursuit of justice from being destroyed.

"godfather."

Clark turned around and smiled at Peter. "I think it is my greatest luck to meet you. In countless parallel universes, there are countless Clarks, but only I met you. I am the luckiest Clark."

"Well, I am also the luckiest Peter Padrick."

Peter put his hand on Clark's shoulder and spoke to him with emotion.

"boom!"

Clark was immersed in the situation as if he was back in his childhood, sitting in front of the fireplace and talking face to face with his godfather, opening his heart to communicate his emotions, when suddenly a violent explosion was heard outside.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred on a distant street, and smoke and dust quickly spread.

"What is that?!"

Clark looked over and saw countless octopus tentacles attacking the building from all directions.

The guy at the center of the octopus tentacle tide is a man in a space suit.

Countless octopus tentacles emerged from the opponent's body and continuously bombarded the nearby buildings and crowds.

"I'll stop him!"

After Clark greeted Peter, he took off his glasses and shirt, revealing the Superman uniform with the "S" logo on the chest, and immediately flew to the scene.

Peter: “…”

When did you secretly change into Superman's uniform in there?

He said that he didn't want to be Superman now, but his body was honest and he secretly changed into a Superman uniform.

The other side.

Raven, A-Zu, Star-Lord, Mark, Boom, Wei, Tom and others also woke up from their rooms when they heard the sound.

When Baobao came out of the hotel, he saw a sea of ​​pink octopuses rushing towards him.

Wei, who was standing next to her, saw the screaming woman rushing towards her being attacked by the pink octopus tentacles. Without hesitation, she rushed forward and hugged the woman, while pressing the switch of the glove on her arm.

"Ah!"

With a roar, Wei blocked the woman behind him and swung his fist to smash the tentacles into pieces.

The sticky liquid splashed all over Wei.

Smelling the foul-smelling liquid, Wei continued to run forward and rescued the people who were running towards the hotel.

Clark, who was dealing with the octopus tentacles, shot out heat vision from his eyes and cut off all the tentacles that attacked him.

Using super speed, Clark flew towards the astronaut in the middle.

Unexpectedly, the octopus tentacles themselves were more agile, dodging Clark's attack and bursting out countless octopus soft substances, surrounding Clark.

Faced with the sticky pink ocean that was surging up to entangle him, Clark's body turned into a flash of lightning, blasting away the approaching sticky ocean, then flew into the air and shot thermal rays at the astronaut in the middle of the pink tentacles.

The tentacles around the astronaut, whose eyes were glowing red, were swept away in an instant as he was unable to react.

Clark flew over with a "whoosh" and picked up the unconscious person.

Standing in mid-air, Clark looked down and saw the scene in front of him with a look of shock on his face.

"No!"

Several citizens appeared on the street, their eyes all turned blood red, and their bodies were obviously controlled by the octopus. At the same time, countless pink substances poured out of their bodies.
