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

The One Who Surpasses?

In another system of universes, the Beyonder represents near-invincible power.

He's still a long way off.

"I wonder if by continuously merging templates, I will be able to possess the power of a transcendent being in the future."

……

Jonathan and Martha spent a few days getting used to the Green Light Ring and were once again amazed by its convenience. But when they returned to their ordinary farm life, they felt no sense of unease, because that was the familiar life they had lived for decades.

People are always nostalgic and prefer familiar life and environment.

After continuing his fight against crime in the city for a few days, Clark couldn't resist flying to the Arctic.

David rested at home for two days and then returned to Atlantis.

"These rings, let's select a group of scientists to study them."

I need a stable way to power them.

At the bottom of the ocean, inside the palace of Atlantis, David sat on the long-vacant throne and summoned Mera.

Several green light rings floated away.

"By the way, you seem a bit different?"

Although only a few days had passed, Mera seemed different upon their reunion. Though the fatigue between her brows was undeniable, she appeared more mature and sharp, as if she had experienced many things, almost like a true ruler capable of balancing the situation.

"People often grow after making difficult choices."

These days, Mera has practically launched a purge in Atlantis.

She had to personally order some of her people to be imprisoned in the deep sea, all to maintain the rule of the man who had conquered her people.

"Growing up is a good thing, isn't it?"

David seemed oblivious to the other meaning in those words, and simply smiled and asked in return.

Before returning to the palace, he learned about the situation in Atlantis and was very satisfied with what Mera had done.

It wasn't to maintain her rule, but because she simply and brutally suppressed a group of people, like blocking a river. The flow downstream was smaller, but the unseen areas downstream were even more turbulent.

Atlantis capitalized on the growing public resentment towards him, providing a powerful emotional trigger.

"Of course, it's far from the time for a scene of public resentment boiling over and a tyrant being overthrown."

After all, David did nothing after becoming the King of the Seven Seas. Apart from having several kings above the heads of the Atlantean people who were suspected of not being Atlanteans, there was no difference. Moreover, he planned to continue doing so in the future.

"This...this is the Green Lantern Corps' ring?"

Mera was startled and looked up.

"How did you get these, and three of them at that!"

"You actually recognize it?"

David lifted his eyelids.

"The ancestors of Atlantis once fought alongside the Lantern to repel an invasion by a powerful alien enemy."

Oh right, I almost forgot this part of history. When Darkseid, at the age of eight, led his army to Earth, the gods, Amazons, humans, and Atlantis united to defeat Darkseid.

One of the Lantern Knights was involved.

However, he was killed by Darkseid in two blows.

"The Lantern Ring of the Green Lantern Corps will automatically fly away after a member of the Green Lantern Corps dies, to select the next Lantern. You forcibly intercepted the Green Lantern Corps' ring, which is very dangerous."

Mera warned.

"The Green Lantern Corps has divided the universe into 3,600 sectors and has maintained peace throughout the universe for billions of years. Their power is beyond your imagination."

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, a glint of something flashing in her eyes.

If I hadn't warned him, would the Green Lantern Corps have come and arrested this guy?

Although for the time being, King David is better for Atlantis than King Ormdam.

"Atlantis was truly isolated from the world."

David was somewhat disappointed.

The arrival of a space monster on Earth would cause a huge uproar for the entire human world.

Atlantis had no idea, otherwise it wouldn't have been difficult for them to recognize him.

Seeing him save the land will only make people more suspicious of his identity.

Mera was somewhat puzzled by David's words. Had something earth-shattering happened in the outside world?

Otherwise, why would such a saying exist?

She was also somewhat shocked before she realized what was happening.

"The three unclaimed lantern rings represent the deaths of three Lanterns who maintained order in the universe."

What happened on land?

"You don't need to worry about those cowardly guardians of the universe."

You only need to assign Atlantean scientists to research the lamp ring.

Ignoring Mera's question, David gave the order.

Although the lantern contains a lot of energy, it would be best to master the technique of charging the ring if possible.

The emotional spectrum is one of the fundamental elements of the universe, and it is omnipresent in the universe, only not as concentrated in places where the Lamp Beasts are.

"Having Atlantis research the lamp ring is not as far-fetched as having apes research electric lights..."

Even if those little blue men possess technology that is among the most advanced in the universe, we should never underestimate Earth.

"Atlantis mastered the technology of unlimited energy thousands of years ago, and their technological level is also quite impressive. They can conduct research using the light rings with open permissions, and even allow destructive disassembly for reverse engineering and research. There is a high probability that they can achieve results."

In the comics, Batman even used his access to Earth's technology to hack into Hal Jordan's lantern ring and eavesdrop on his conversations with other Lanterns without his knowledge.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Mera's eyes widened. Is this really the word used to describe those cosmic guardians who are rumored to have lived for billions of years and who have single-handedly built the Green Lantern Corps to maintain cosmic peace to this day?

The amount of information hidden behind those few words is chilling.

"How could he know those guardians of the universe were bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong without ever having had any contact with them..."

If this is a personal experience, its significance is something one dares not think about any further.

"I...I understand."

She lowered her head, her voice a little hoarse.

At this moment, Mera felt extremely uneasy. She absolutely could not allow her people to rebel. This man who had conquered Atlantis so effortlessly was perhaps stronger than anyone imagined.

Remembering that David said he was going to leave for a while, but then suddenly returned a few days later, proved that her guess was correct.

"He was indeed fishing."

Mera's face turned pale, as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss.

Leave for a few days to lull her people into a false sense of security and reveal their disloyalty, then suddenly return to gather evidence and purge Atlantis.

Fortunately, I noticed it in advance and reluctantly locked up those clansmen who wanted to incite opposition.

"This man must be very disappointed that he didn't get a chance to clean up."

Mera glanced furtively at the man on the throne, thinking to herself as she clenched her fist.

Unaware of Mera's inner turmoil, David looked out of the palace and stroked his chin.

"At this point, Clark may or may not have started the spaceship and seen his dead father."

……

"System started, diagnostics complete, running normally, guidance images authorized..."

The Arctic, thousands of meters below the ice sheet.

Inside a massive spaceship frozen in millennia-old ice.

In the control room, Clark swallowed hard, took off the necklace around his neck, and his hand, which had been carrying a warship, was now trembling slightly. He grasped the black stamp-like object, took a deep breath, and inserted it into the identically shaped hole.

A series of mechanical female voices started the machine.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black aristocratic robe, exuding a calm and wise aura, like a scholar or a scientist, appeared from outside the control room and walked slowly in. He looked at Clark with a sad expression and paused for a moment.

“You’ve grown up, Carl.”

"If only Leila could have seen this."

"who are you?"

“I am your father, Karl El.”
