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

Clark answered some questions, but human curiosity never ends, and people raised even more questions. Microphones were thrust forward, leaving him a little overwhelmed. He saw a beautiful and spirited female reporter in the crowd looking somewhat disheveled, being jostled around by the crowd.

At this time, even the reputation of a famous journalist cannot make colleagues more humble when facing big news.

"One last question."

"Please let this lady answer."

He pressed his hands down to signal the reporters to be quiet, and Clark pointed at her with a smile.

Louise Lane pushed past the two people next to her. She opened her mouth to ask a question, but suddenly realized that the important question she wanted to ask had already been asked by her colleagues. She stared at Clark's face, observed him for a moment, and then asked.

Superman?

I don't think anyone else has asked this question yet.

Have you ever felt powerless while saving the world?

Clark's smile froze, and he fell silent, gazing at the sun, whose radiant light had given him power.

"When I was a child, I always hid my abilities, afraid of hurting others. The world seemed as fragile to me as a bubble, and I was even afraid of my own power because of it."

But the many powerful enemies from space, filled with malice towards Earth and humanity, have shown me that my power is still insufficient.

He recalled the scene of David's final battle with Brainiac and his defeat of Brainiac, his voice serious with a hint of determination.

"However, I will strive to become stronger and use this power to protect you."

Hopefully, when the next powerful enemy from the stars comes, I will be stronger and ready.

I hope that when those who surpass me face formidable opponents, I won't just be able to stand by and watch.

……

"What do you want?"

On Paradise Island, David flew back to the island and landed in the palace. Hippolyta, anxious and accompanied by Diana, came to greet him.

Before he left Paradise Island last time, he left his cell phone behind. Hippolyta was somewhat resistant to new technology, but now she's having her daughter contact him using the phone.

"For the former queen of the Amazon to bow down and ask me for help is probably no small matter."

As for what it was, a guess flashed across David's eyes.

He had already made some predictions.

What could possibly cause both Atlantis and Paradise Island to call him at the same time?

“Something left by the gods on Paradise Island has started to move.”

Those were items from an extraterrestrial enemy.

Hippolyta quickly led David toward a fortress on the cliffs of Paradise Island, a place usually off-limits, and spoke to him, hoping that the usually frivolous Amazon king would realize the seriousness of the matter.

Diana followed along, and she only revealed some of these things to her mother after her mother discovered that the item was acting strangely.

"As expected, it's the mother box that's acting strangely..."

David's eyes flickered, indicating that he was listening.

Only an extraterrestrial invader, whom the entire Earth had to unite to barely repel back then, could have made this queen so fearful of a formidable enemy.

Millions of years ago, a group of extraterrestrial enemies invaded, wanting to destroy the world.

The gods, together with the Amazons, the Atlanteans, and the Lamplighters of the universe, defeated the enemy.

The enemy group wanted to use a weapon to destroy the world, but it was seized by the gods.

Buzz!

As Hippolyta recounted the story, they entered the interior of the fortress built of massive stones. On the central stone platform, a box made of cast iron vibrated and hummed incessantly, as if it were communicating with something.

"This weapon has three identical parts."

As they walked, the Amazons guarding the box bowed to David in greeting. David waved for them to rise and then looked at the box.

The box, cast from molten iron, had been shaken open and cracked, with flashes of white light leaking out from within. Inside, the Mother Box from Apokolips in the Fourth World was vibrating restlessly, communicating with its former master.

Through the crack, David peered intently at the dark silver mother box.

His ability to manipulate energy allowed him to clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within this square box, which was only a few dozen centimeters long, and he vaguely felt a sense of danger.

"If the combined energy of the three Mother Boxes were unleashed, it could destroy a planet in an instant!"

Even he wasn't sure he could survive such terrifying energy.

"The three boxes were given by the gods to be kept by us Amazons, humans, and Atlanteans respectively."

I don't know why it was suddenly awakened.

But the other two mother boxes may also be exhibiting unusual behavior; it's unknown whether humans and Amazons have noticed.

Hippolyta looked at the box with a worried expression.

She had personally participated in that great battle and knew all too well how terrifying those extraterrestrial enemies were. According to Zeus, the once young leader of the invaders had become a dark monarch who made countless worlds and even the universe kneel and tremble in fear.

If the mother box hadn't been lost, and the recorded cosmic coordinates hadn't been lost along with it, Earth might have been destroyed long ago.

I still remember when Zeus spoke of the leader of the extraterrestrial enemies who was almost killed by Ares, his eyes inadvertently revealed fear and even apprehension.

"Atlantis, like you, has a history that has never been interrupted, even after countless years."

They have discovered the anomaly in the mother box and are deeply disturbed.

David glanced at the lamp ring and answered.

"how do you know?"

Diana was puzzled.

"Because I became the King of Atlantis not long after I became the Queen of the Amazons."

His simple and clear answer surprised the mother and daughter, who looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard something.

Ignoring the two bewildered individuals, David reached out and touched the mother box.

He wanted to see if he could absorb the Mother Box's energy, so that the Mother Box would no longer be a threat and would prevent the Dark Lord from turning his attention to Earth.

"careful!"

Hippolyta's expression changed drastically, and she reached out to stop her.

She already said that this was part of a terrifying weapon capable of destroying the world, so why is this guy being so casual about it?

"It is in an unstable state of activity."

Your touch might provoke its attack.

But the next second, something astonishing happened.

David touched the mother box, and the mother box, like a frightened rabbit, suddenly stopped shaking, pretending to be an inanimate object, and the light on its surface also dissipated.

"It's been shaking nonstop for a whole day, this..."

Hippolyta stared blankly, looking back and forth between David and the Mother Box.

"What's wrong with it?"

She had a feeling that the Mother Box was wary of the man in front of her.

The mother box, powered by Apokolips's most advanced technology, collected all its energy, and David absorbed nothing, withdrawing his hand in disappointment.

"This mother box probably possesses a high level of intelligence."

In the original storyline, after the Mother Box awoke and discovered Clark's existence, it hid until Clark and Luthor's Doomsday perished together. Only then did it contact Apokolips, thus summoning Steppenwolf.

However, it was unaware that its original master, Darkseid, was no longer the same. Millions of years had passed, and he had grown from an infant equivalent to eight years old, and had also gained the Omega Effect, causing his power to surge. Following his destined trajectory, he became a dark tyrant who reigned supreme over the universe.

"Does the fact that it's stopped vibrating mean things have calmed down?"

After a moment of shock, Hippolyta frowned.

"not that simple."

David shook his head.

"It's just that this place has been marked as an unsuitable location for arrival."

While the three Mother Boxes can only unleash their strongest power when they are united, they also possess various incredible energies when separated, such as opening a sonic boom channel that spans the universe, allowing the Apokolips army to continuously descend upon Earth.

There are three mother boxes, which means there are three locations to choose from.

"The Mother Box should have gone into a deep sleep after it was awakened, instead of moving around like this. This means that it has begun to contact Apokolips and summon its army to descend."

Everything is different now?

David frowned.

"Arrival?"

Are those extraterrestrial enemies going to invade this world again?

Diana frowned, a hint of fighting spirit rising in her eyes.

Paradise Island is also part of the world. She had left Paradise Island before, and although the countries she went to seemed to be in a state of division and war, she also saw many things in the human world that were worth protecting.

For example, those poor, innocent children.

Hippolyta was not as optimistic as her daughter; her brow was furrowed.
