A deep voice, like a merciless judgment, slowly entered his ears. Sean painfully got up, saw the change in David's appearance, panicked and scrambled to his feet, swinging his fist to strike, but David easily dodged it by turning his head.
Having just witnessed Clark's fate, he naturally knew what would happen if he were allowed to touch him physically.
"Can it absorb heat and become stronger?"
With a powerful kick, Sean was sent flying; this time, David used even more force.
With a cracking sound, an immense force broke his ribs, sending him flying back into the pit, like a stone hitting a lake, creating waves and a deep crater several meters in diameter.
David looked down at him.
"That's a pretty good ability, but you've wasted it."
Many powerful ability users don't have much body heat combined. Even Clark, whose ability comes from the sun, would likely die instantly if touched by him.
"Some people, even if given great abilities, cannot hide their cowardly nature."
"Shut up!"
Enraged by the blatant mockery, Sean lunged out of the pit with the standard charging motion of a rugby player, creating a powerful gust of air as he crashed into David and grabbed him around the waist.
"Kneel down before me and beg for mercy!"
As he stomped forward, he roared and activated his power to absorb the heat from David's body.
I thought David would collapse at the first sign of trouble.
But David acted as if nothing had happened, bracing himself with his legs to create two deep grooves, and calmly punched Sean to the ground. The terrifying force accompanied Sean's body as he slammed into the ground, and a visible white shockwave sent surrounding gravel and grass flying.
Click, click, click!
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
"My...my back!"
In the pit several meters in diameter, Sean screamed in terror, writhing in excruciating pain.
His face contorted in pain, his hands trembling as he reached for his back; he could feel nothing in his lower body.
"Don't worry, you'll be free from this pain soon!"
Feeling a slight loss of cosmic energy within him, David expressionlessly swung his fist down with the force of a crashing hill.
Bang!
Sean's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness. His brain was damaged, and he would be trapped in eternal nothingness and darkness.
A weak and unsteady Clark staggered over and witnessed this scene.
"By the way, Clark, what were you trying to say just now?"
David retracted his fist and tilted his head slightly in the giant crater.
"I……"
Upon seeing Sean, who had become a vegetable, Clark was so angry that he almost fainted.
……
Squeak.
"Excuse me, ma'am."
The door opened, and Kayla, with her black hair, walked into the room, looking slightly nervous, her hands clasped tightly together.
"The people in this nursing home all say you can foresee the future. Can you help me?"
Cassandra sat on a stool eating, looking out the window and listening to the clear birdsong from the branches. With her eyes closed, she chewed slowly with each bite, her expression one of indescribable calm and serenity, as if she were enjoying the most delicious food in the world, or savoring the afterglow of life.
"Child, I am not an old Gypsy witch."
She opened her eyes, put down the spoon in her mouth, and said calmly, "If you want to predict the future, I suggest you go to the circus's fortune-telling tent."
"Finally, here's a piece of life advice for you, young lady."
She shook her head slightly.
"Eavesdropping on people is not a good habit."
“Please give me a chance, Ms. Cassandra.”
Upon hearing this, Kayla's eyes lit up, as if she had confirmed something, and she couldn't help but take a step forward, her voice tinged with excitement.
Even without transforming, her agility was such that an ordinary blind old man shouldn't be able to hear her.
"It seems I said something wrong."
Cassandra shook her head with some regret, her voice aged as she said, "As people get older, their minds really do become less sharp."
"Time is running out. Can I have just a little bit of time left to leave quietly?"
"Time is running out?"
“Everyone dies eventually.” Cassandra listened to the clock on the wall, which was about to strike the hour, and smiled faintly. “I saw my own death in the futures of other caregivers.”
Some futures can be changed, while others are destined to be difficult to alter, such as the natural end of life.
She was nearly ninety years old and had planned to take one last look at the world this morning before quietly passing away.
"but……"
Death should be peaceful and serene. The old man before her was in the final moments of his life, and she shouldn't disturb him. Kayla clenched her hands tightly, her beautiful face filled with remorse: "This is not only important to me, but also to my people and the world."
"Please."
"I cannot reveal other people's futures without permission."
Unable to resist the girl's pleading, the kind old man put down his rice spoon, shook his head, and suggested, "But I can help you see your future."
"my future?"
Kayla struggled for a moment, then realized that this was one way to do it.
If Numa really does appear in this generation as predicted.
According to the tribe's legend, she was destined to become entangled with Nama, who was born with heavenly fire, and was destined to become his woman.
So perhaps through the future, she could determine which of the two brothers was the savior Namar and which was the evil Sekai, thus helping Namar defeat his brother.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, ma'am."
"This world is so beautiful, it's a good thing for me to take one last look before I leave."
With only a few seconds left on the clock, Cassandra, with the girl's help, struggled back to bed, smiled, and grabbed the girl's hand. After a moment of hallucination...
She weakly opened her eyes and turned her head toward the nervous and anxious girl in front of her with a look of pity.
"No...don't go near those brothers, or your fate will be sealed."
"Unlucky?"
"And...your tribe..."
As she spoke haltingly, and the clock struck the hour, Cassandra, who had insisted she could only speak halfway through, lost all strength, closed her eyes listlessly, and let her hands fall limply to her sides.
"Madam?" Kayla's expression changed drastically.
I wrote several hundred more words.
Please continue reading! The protagonist's second template is coming soon, and it will complement the first one. I'll try to update earlier in the future. (ω)
Chapter 35. Aliens are also human.
David showed no mercy, turning Sean, who had tried to attack him and even threatened to kill him, into a vegetable.
Clark rushed forward in anger to save his brother, knocking Searle away and warming his heart.
Besides, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Looking at Sean, who was unconscious at the bottom of the pit, his voice was heavy and his tone hesitant.
“This time is different from the past. Sean may not have committed a crime yet, but you've already turned him into a vegetable…”
Previous users of the ability, including Jerome who can generate electricity, Grik who can transform into an insectoid, and Tina who can deform flesh and strengthen bones, have all been confirmed to have committed serious crimes such as murder.
Sean, on the other hand, may have just gained his powers and come to seek revenge on David.
"Wasn't his attack on you and me a crime?"
Upon hearing this, David feigned surprise.
"Given his dangerous abilities, putting everything else aside, shouldn't I be ruled in court for self-defense?"
He patted Clark on the shoulder, who was taken aback, and turned to leave.
"Don't feel inferior, my brother. Aliens are people too."
"..."
David wasn't surprised; it's the same in the comics. Superman's classic tendency to not see himself as human might mean that it's like someone trying to kill another person with a straw—it doesn't constitute murder intent.
If he hasn't committed any other crimes and is attacked alone, he won't pay much attention.
But now they're trying to apply this criminal view to him too. Is being powerful a crime? Are people with superpowers not human?
With things having come to this, Clark thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and with a burst of speed cleaned up the surrounding traces. He then took Sean to the hospital entrance and followed his brother.
