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

The feeling disappeared just as he turned his gaze towards it, but he was certain it wasn't a hallucination.

He glanced at Clark beside him.

"However, it seems that the other party is not spying on me, but on Clark."

He had just been to space with the parasite, following the same route, and had never felt that way until he took Clark out of Earth and got close to the moon, at which point he felt that kind of spying.

The feeling of being spied on has disappeared, but that doesn't mean the other party has stopped spying.

Pretending not to have taken it to heart, David and Clark returned to Earth together.

Just as it was returning to the atmosphere.

[The Wanliwang template has been 100% integrated]

Loading a new template...

"The template has finally been completely integrated!" During the flight, he raised an eyebrow, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Chapter 166: New Template and Visitors to the Town

[Fourth template loading...]

[Loading 3%...27%...]

"mom!"

During the loading of the new template, David brought Clark home. Jonathan and Kent were shocked to see Clark's desiccated appearance on the TV news and paced anxiously in the living room. When they heard the noise and looked over, their eldest son was standing perfectly fine at the door, upright and with a normal face. The two were overjoyed.

"Clark, your body?"

But we saw you on TV...?

Jonathan, the father, was stunned for a moment, wondering if the news broadcast on TV was just sensationalist.

"David can take me out to get some sun."

Clark went into the house, hugged his parents in each arm, and comforted them, telling them not to worry about him.

Are you really alright, son?

Martha was still a little worried. The photo of Clark on TV showed his head so thin it looked like a skeleton, which was even more frightening than someone who was terminally ill.

"fine."

Clark smiled, bent his arm to show his parents his muscles, hoping to put their minds at ease.

"Kryptonians can draw power from the sun to heal their injuries and even be resurrected."

David decided to give the two of them a boost of confidence so that they would worry less about Clark in the future.

As for him, the couple had worried about him, but he always managed to resolve the crisis without suffering any serious injuries. Now they only worried about him when he was fighting with the enemy. Once the crisis was over and things settled down, they were relieved to see that he was alright.

Now, it's Clark, the eldest son, who makes the two of them even more worried about the family.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Clark was the first of the three to be taken aback.

How come he didn't know that Kryptonians had this ability? He hadn't seen it in the Lonely Fortress's records either.

However, his younger brother always knew more about the universe and extraterrestrials than he did.

"Of course, I'm not saying this to remind you to rush into danger without thinking in the future."

Seeing Clark's thoughtful expression, David's face darkened, and he quickly added.

"To be resurrected with the help of the sun, your body must not have been excessively damaged."

Given Clark's personality, if he really thought he could easily be resurrected by the sun, he probably wouldn't even consider the danger to himself when facing a powerful threat in the future, and would rush in without hesitation.

David wasn't lying to his parents and Clark about Clark's resurrection through solar flare; this kind of plot has been played out many times and can be considered one of Superman's basic abilities. However, other Kryptonians probably don't have this ability.

The two sons saved the Metropolis once again.

There wasn't much the couple could do but prepare a hearty meal so the two could replenish their energy.

While his worried mother Martha was happily busy in the kitchen, David quietly went to the nearby woods outside the farm.

The fourth template has been loaded.

[King of Hyperion template fusion in progress...]

The dense green shade cast by the tall trees brought a refreshing feeling. He gently clenched his fist and crushed the air. As the fusion progressed, David's physical strength increased wildly. His muscles and bones became denser, as strong and hard as the white dwarf material left behind by a burning star.

The Shazam power would make him look more mature, and his parents probably wouldn't be used to him looking like that. So when he was at home, David would deactivate the Shazam power. Anyway, unlike Captain Marvel, whose true form was just a fragile mortal, he wasn't afraid of any sneak attacks.

Drip!

His physical body swelled dramatically, and his senses also increased dramatically. David's vision pierced through the trees, reaching the distant town, and even through the steel and concrete buildings, gazing towards the metropolis.

He could hear the horns of cars coming and going in the metropolis, people talking in hushed tones, and even the buzzing of bees in the flowerbeds of the metropolis's downtown gardens.

Previously, David had to rely on gravity field perception to know what was happening far behind obstacles, but now he doesn't need to anymore, and it's no longer a silent black and white image.

He could see and hear everything, from the slightest breeze to the smallest movement, and every action within a thousand miles around him was immeasurable; he was like a god, in control of all situations.

"Hyperion himself knows he's one of Marvel's four Supermen, but the King of Hyperion?"

Delighted by the increase in strength and the emergence of new abilities, David looked at the template again, slightly puzzled.

"Hyperion, an orphan of the Eternals, is of the same race as Thanos. His background is very similar to Clark's. When Thanos slaughtered his home planet, he was sent to Earth by his parents on a spaceship. He was raised by kind foster parents and began to fight crime and uphold justice after he grew up."

Not only are their backgrounds similar, but their abilities are also basically the same: super strength, super speed, super eyesight...

He recalled Hyperion's message in his mind.

The only difference is that Hyperion has an ageless and immortal body, just like Thanos, and also has a faster healing ability than Thanos.

After a careful recollection, David's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered.

In the Marvel multiverse, each superhero may have different identities, abilities, and experiences in different universes, such as Iron Man in white pot, Spider-Man as Captain Universe, and Thor the Frog. Among them, there are strong and weak, good and bad.

"Hyperion is actually the King of Hyperions, the most powerful version of Hyperion in the multiverse."

He was far stronger than the average Hyperion, and in his own universe, he defeated all the superheroes, including Hulk and Thor, with his terrifying strength, almost realizing his ambition to rule the world. However, he was eventually defeated and exiled by his parallel universe counterpart.

"The standard version of Hyperion is weaker than Superman, while Hyperion King is comparable to Clark Kent in his prime."

The most exciting thing was that he remembered that Hyperion's greatest strength compared to other Hyperions was his immortality; even if his body was smashed to pieces, it could heal and regenerate!

A Wolverine version of Superman?

This is an unprecedentedly powerful template that he has obtained.

Although his previous templates, when combined, had already made him stronger than Clark, this was the first time that he could rival or even surpass the adult Superman with just one template!

"Without a doubt, the template for integration is becoming stronger and stronger."

David couldn't help but think that the next template would be to surpass Superman in every way, even in his prime.

Of course, this is on the premise that you have fully integrated the template yourself, which will probably take some time.

[Template integration is 30% complete]

"It will probably take three or four months?"

He stroked his chin, mentally estimating the time.

After becoming the Beyonder and joining the Justice League, and working with Clark, Batman, and others to resolve multiple global crises, he further advanced his ability to acquire emotional points by locking up Zod's subordinates.

Based on the strength of this template, it should only take about this long.

Standing on a high hill in the woods, David looked up at the moon.

At midday, the moon is usually invisible, but his superhuman vision allows him to see small craters on the moon from Earth.

Gazing at the moon that had previously given him a sense of being spied on, he narrowed his eyes and his body transformed into a streak of light, hurtling through the air towards the moon.

There's still some time before dinner, enough time for him to go to the moon and see what's going on.

The reason I didn't check it immediately before was just in case; I wanted to wait until my strength increased after integrating the template before going to check it. Now is the perfect time.

On the moon, on a giant crater.

In the deathly silence of the land devoid of sound and life, a tall and robust figure stands on the rock wall. His skin is grayish-white, and his upper body, seemingly cast in steel, is covered in scars. His thick, long black hair is draped behind his head, and his eyes, devoid of whites, and even his fingernails are an eerie black.

He exuded an inhuman coldness, with only his red and blue battle suit remaining below his waist, as if he had traveled through unimaginable harsh environments to reach this place, a dark and profound meteorite.

Upon seeing David flying towards Earth, he frowned, the hem of his red battle suit fluttering, and turned to leave silently.

……

After dealing with the parasite, David spent several days searching the moon.

If it were the Marvel Universe, and David sensed being spied on from the direction of the moon, he could easily deduce who it was—the bald-headed Watchers, a group that frequently appears in Marvel storylines and enjoys spying.

However, he had no clue about the DC world for the time being.

"Are the Guardians of the Universe still monitoring me because I forced them to back down by taking the Lamp Ring from them, and are they waiting to strike when I'm weak?"

But isn't there Hal Jordan already?

David previously thought Hal Jordan might not have another chance to become a Green Lantern, but unexpectedly he still became a member of the Green Lantern Corps. However, after joining the league together and learning about Hal Jordan's experience in becoming a Green Lantern, it is not difficult to find something strange about it.
