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

Afterwards, in the barn, Clark, dressed in a blue and red battle suit, looked at David expectantly and asked.

"Actually, you are the hero who saved this city. You defeated Brainiac."

"No."

Through the house window, in the living room, the parents watched the news reports about the incident and expressed their gratitude to the two Metropolitan superheroes, with smiles of relief and pride on their faces, just like when Clark and David first received their scholarships at school.

David withdrew his gaze, crossed his arms, and looked into the distance.

“I didn’t save them out of gratitude.”

"Don't have too many expectations of the masses."

They're just temporarily overwhelmed by the joy of being rescued, and they're praising you so highly.

When you are questioned, you will see the overwhelming malice of humanity again.

He glanced at the excited Clark and gave him a reminder.

"I know."

Clark paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"I just feel that it's time."

The outside world and the public don't know much about us, which will lead to too much suspicion and defensiveness.

“I think this is an opportunity to let them see that we are just ordinary people with joys and sorrows, just like them.”

There are many questions about them, such as their alien identity, when they arrived on Earth, and whether they have any special purpose for Earth. This is a good opportunity to answer these questions and put everyone at ease.

"And you are different from me. You are not an alien. People have always misunderstood this."

“I remember the ceremony is at eight o’clock. If you don’t leave now, you might be late.”

Upon hearing this, David smiled.

"It's not good to be late for your first interview in front of the public."

Clark's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He knew that David's words were a tacit endorsement of his actions. He clenched his fist and excitedly took to the sky, breaking the sound barrier as he flew towards the metropolitan center.

Not long after Clark left, the light ring on David's hand suddenly flashed twice.

He looked at the ring that served as a substitute for mobile phones and other communication devices, and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Mera is contacting me?"

Before leaving Atlantis, he said not to bother him unless it was absolutely necessary.

David was about to answer the call to ask what was wrong.

"Could it be that someone in Atlantis has finally started a rebellion?"

Just then, his ring lit up again.

This is an urgent communication from Paradise Island...

……

The awards ceremony.

When Clark landed in his red and blue suit, countless flashes of light shone on him. Mayor Mino, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the hero who had saved the city, his face flushed, and excitedly walked up to him and shook his hand firmly.

"Superman, I know you're busy saving people in danger."

Thank you so much for taking the time to attend the ceremony.

This was Superman's first public interview, and he maintained a perfect eight-tooth smile, shaking hands with Clark Kent, while facing a barrage of cameras and microphones.

Max Minnow was thrilled at the thought that his name would probably spread throughout the world along with Superman.

It's a pity that the Beyonder who contributed the most to saving Metropolis didn't come along.

Otherwise, the news would have generated even more buzz.

"I didn't know this city had a key."

Clark took the key-shaped trophy from the mayor with a strange expression. He held two huge brass keys, each several tens of centimeters long, which made him look somewhat dazed.

One is his, and the other is David's.

"Originally, the highest honor the Metropolitan City bestowed upon its citizens was Mr. Metropolitan."

However, considering the previous Mr. Metropolitan's result wasn't very good.

Facing the man who had personally sent the previous Mr. Metropolis and the mayor to prison, the newly appointed Max Minnow gave an awkward smile.

"Therefore, it was changed to the Key to the City, which represents the city's highest praise and unlimited trust in your kindness, integrity and bravery, and means that you can legally open the door of any family."

Of course, this was just a formality; Clark smiled and indicated that he would accept the two trophies.

After the awards were presented, the mayor stepped down, leaving Clark alone on the interview stage to be interviewed. The eager media swarmed forward, bombarding him with countless questions.

"Superman, do you know why the Beyonder didn't come to today's awards ceremony?" "What's your suit made of?"

Are you and Beyonder both aliens?

"Some people say that the transcendent is more powerful than you. Do you agree with this statement?"

"Could you tell me how you met the Transcendent?"

"..."

Behind the podium, Clara paused, muttering to herself, "Why are almost all the questions about David?"

146. Chapter 145 Mother Box Anomalies

"First, regarding the question of why the Transcendent One didn't come with me."

He prefers being alone and dislikes these kinds of situations.

Clark muttered to himself that David had only appeared in public a few times, and much later than him, but his popularity seemed to be no less than his. In fact, people were more curious and interested in the mysterious David.

He then turned to the reporters, whose eyes were shining with anticipation for a big scoop, and answered their questions one by one with a smile.

"This is my battle suit. It's based on technology from my home planet. To be honest, I don't know much about it."

"Home planet?"

One reporter seized upon the key words and couldn't wait to ask the question.

"Superman, does this mean you're admitting you're an alien?"

What about those who surpass them?

The idea that Superman is an alien has become a general consensus after the Zod attack on Metropolis, but hearing it from the person involved is still a different story.

"good.

I wasn't born on this planet, but Beyonder is different from me; he's not an alien.

Clark replied.

He had a sunny smile on his face and answered almost every question.

In fact, that is precisely the purpose of his presence here today: to answer the public's questions about him and David.

"Where is the Transcendent from? Is he from Metropolis?"

Oh my god, could I have accidentally brushed past him on the street?!

Below, there were enthusiastic fans, like those of the characters from the movie "Superman," who were so excited they couldn't contain themselves and screamed loudly.

Clark pretended not to hear and could not answer, as it was too sensitive to their real identities to explain where he and David were from.

"The metropolis is both big and small. Under certain conditions, it is not difficult to find a family."

Clark continued.

"What is my purpose in coming to Earth?"

All I can tell you is that my parents launched me to Earth while I was still in my cradle, with the aim of escaping a natural disaster.

I grew up on this planet, breathing the same air as you.

He stared intently at the crowd below the stage, his alien identity drawing much hostility and defensiveness from them.

"What you see is my true self; I'm not much different from you."

I will do my best to use my abilities to help others, and when they are in danger and helpless, I hope my presence can bring them a ray of light.

Finally, he finished saying what he had been wanting to say all this time, took a deep breath, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

"When did I meet the Transcendent?"

All I can say is that we grew up together much earlier than you might imagine.

He used a little trick in his words to give the impression that he and David were childhood friends, but he wasn't lying; their relationship was just much closer than that.

"Growing up together."

Two exceptionally gifted children?

"You must have been very lonely as a child, right? Did you two forge a friendship because of your shared uniqueness and loneliness?!"
