I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

"I know."

Clark scratched his head.

This is the umpteenth time his younger brother has helped him, even though he's the older brother.

David nodded, went back into the room, and stared at the ceiling.

Hopefully, Clark really remembered it.

The biggest weakness of Superman that he didn't mention last time is actually—kindness.

If it weren't for his kindness, Superman wouldn't have had to suffer many setbacks, and even Kryptonite wouldn't pose much of a threat to him.

"With the speed of Kryptonians, they can fly into the sky above the Earth in the next instant before anyone can even take out Kryptonite, and turn them into ashes with a heat vision."

The speedster has plenty of room to maneuver when facing enemies, but Superman never guards against others and is often exploited by villains who use his kind nature to set traps for him.

David didn't expect Clark to change his personality.

"If things change, Superman will no longer be Superman."

He only hopes that Superman can maintain some necessary vigilance while being a superhero.

As mentioned before, he still has fatal weaknesses, and with this incident, Clark should learn his lesson.

……

David successfully rescued Clark from the military base outside the city, but the matter did not end there.

Metropolis was in an uproar. David appeared at the scene, which was cordoned off by the military, and forcefully demanded that the soldiers reveal Superman's whereabouts before disappearing. He had only been there for a short while.

But everyone online is discussing his identity and his abilities.

Because when he appeared, his entire body radiated a rich purple light, obscuring his face and shrouding him in mystery, the citizens of the metropolis called him the Purple Light Man based on his most distinctive feature.

"He seems to have appeared because of Superman. What is the relationship between the Purple Light Man and Superman?"

Some people have a mentality akin to that of a gossip tabloid.

Was he going to rescue Superman?

"Who is stronger, him or Superman?"

However, some people were greatly disturbed by the appearance of the purple-light people.

"First Superman, then the Purple Light People, just how many of these kinds of people are hiding on our planet?"

"He looks completely different from Superman."

Superman is usually portrayed as warm and kind, but this... because he was focused on saving lives, I didn't sense much gentleness in him. Could he become a threat to the city, or even the world?!

"The military blockade outside the city made a sound like bombing for almost half an hour."

Are the Purple Light People fighting the army, or are they battling Superman?

The news of Superman's arrest, and everything about the Purple Light People, became the headlines in Metropolis the next day.

"Superman is taken away by the military after being exhausted from saving citizens. A mysterious purple-glowing figure appears, is it to save Superman?"

After breakfast, David unfolded a copy of the Metropolitan Life Daily and sat on a recliner on the balcony corridor outside his door. He glanced at the headline of the newspaper and lifted his eyelids.

Even the Life Daily, which usually doesn't care about these kinds of things, reported on this incident.

Everyone is very curious about you.

Clark came out with a cup of coffee, leaned against the railing, offered suggestions, and teased his brother.

"How about joining me as a vigilante and forming a vigilante team?"

You are more capable than I am.

It started as a joke, but as he talked, he realized that if his younger brother could really go with him to save others, he would definitely do a better job than him.

"I have no interest in this kind of thing."

David glanced at it twice, then put the newspaper aside and looked out over the farm.

"I don't have much precious vacation time left, so I'm going to focus my time on my next trip."

[Template integration is 99% complete...]

Looking at the panel, he raised an eyebrow. Was the fusion progress abnormal? Why were the numbers jumping faster than expected?

Chapter 110: Metals That Grant Superpowers

David wasn't interested in Clark's offer.

He just wanted to protect his family and had no intention of becoming a superhero like Clark, running around for strangers he didn't know, and suffering misunderstandings and suspicions from time to time, and even being morally blackmailed occasionally.

"Moreover, putting everything else aside, you've never liked my way of doing things."

I'm afraid that soon after that so-called vigilante group is formed, you'll start a fight with me over something I'm doing.

David stood up from the recliner and glanced at Clark.

"I don't want my parents to worry when they see us attacking each other."

He patted him on the shoulder.

"So... let's skip it."

Clark, who was holding his coffee, fell silent for a moment.

My younger brother broke into the military base to save me, but I didn't want him to hurt the soldiers who fired at him. I wanted to leave with him as soon as possible to prevent more people from dying at his hands. Was I going too far?

"Remember Lex Luthor?"

"remember."

Clark looked up, puzzled as to why David had suddenly brought this up.

He saved Lex Luthor's life, and if it weren't for the pickup truck he gave him, he wouldn't have known about his origins so soon by chance.

"Lex has stopped showing up in town recently. His father, Lionel Luther, was in a car accident not long ago. He took over his father's company and must be in a state of deep distress and overwhelmed by the company's affairs."

Clark's eyes showed a hint of sympathy.

"I'm not asking about the news that was published in the newspaper earlier."

David shook his head.

Luther's behavior yesterday was a bit strange, which couldn't help but raise concerns.

He was a technological genius, and the armor he invented was extremely powerful, if not against Superman.

But yesterday's almost lifelike bionic robot, far surpassing current human technology, shouldn't have been something a young loser could have created.

"Now that it's all over, you have a night to think about what happened yesterday."

You should be able to see that yesterday's events were a conspiracy against you.

David recounted what he had seen yesterday.

“I met Luther at the military base yesterday. I suspect he’s the mastermind behind that plan, using the lives of a trainload of people as bait to lure you into the trap.”

Clark frowned for a moment, his face showing a look of reminiscence.

"Yesterday, the voice sounded very familiar to me, even though it was somewhat distorted by the speaker."

Looking back now, he did resemble Lex Luthor somewhat.

In fact, after recalling and comparing the information in his brain, he was 100% certain.

There were nearly a thousand lives on that train. It was unbelievable that someone could be so heartless, especially someone he had once saved. It made him feel terrible.

"But the person at the base yesterday didn't seem to be him."

No heartbeat, no blood flow... that can't be a normal living being.

"That's just a robot."

David nodded in affirmation of his discovery.

"robot?"

"David, what do you want me to do?"

Clark listened to his brother's words and guessed that he must have something for him to do.

“Keep an eye on Luther. I promised yesterday that he would live in the shadows forever.”

But I have more important things to do than keep an eye on him for now.

"Destroy him as soon as he appears in public as a robot."

Clark wouldn't easily commit murder, but Luther also didn't have the guts to appear in public in his true form again.

"no problem."

Upon hearing that his younger brother had asked him for a favor, Clark readily agreed.

"However, in truth, the cause of this whole thing was myself." His shoulders slumped slightly.

If it's just a robot, he has no psychological burden. He will investigate whether Luther orchestrated yesterday's events or actually planted the bomb.
