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

"Protect what? Protect the people who cheated us out of our farm and house using their abilities?"

Sensing he was implying something, David glanced at him.

“David, you don’t have to be so rough and cold every time you do things.”

Hearing the hostility in David's tone towards Rickman, Clark reached out and stopped him, lowering his voice seriously.

“Rickman is very wealthy, and if something happens to him, all the major newspapers in the metropolitan area will be paying attention.”

Unlike the small town of Smallville, where even if something happens, it won't make the newspapers.

"If you turn someone into a vegetable again this time..."

Fearing he still wouldn't be able to persuade his opinionated younger brother, he gritted his teeth and said.

"I will never again take the blame for this in front of my parents!"

"What do you want me to do?"

Clark actually used this to threaten him? David raised an eyebrow, as if he were meeting him for the first time.

After he crossed that line and killed someone, Clark really started to get anxious, and his behavior became much more deliberate.

"But thinking about it, Clark does have a problem."

Rickman was a well-known figure; his companies and factories practically monopolized the pesticide production business in the metropolitan area and several surrounding cities. His sudden transformation into a vegetable was sure to be a story the metropolitan newspapers would tell.

[Template integration is 99% complete]

It was already 99% two days ago, and I hope this new template will be one that allows characters to freely display their abilities.

David was lost in thought for a moment because he knew he had the ability to protect himself, yet he still caused his parents worry.

"Let's see who can resolve this matter safely and properly first."

Hearing his brother's words, Clark secretly breathed a sigh of relief without revealing his plan, and said in a deep voice.

Last time, he almost caused trouble for his family and implicated his father. This time, he wanted to use this incident to surpass his younger brother and make his brother realize that he was inferior to him in some ways, so that his words would carry more weight in his brother's heart in the future.

"Your suggestion is good, but I..."

David remained expressionless, finding the suggestion rather boring.

"Don't refuse!"

The tall Clark guessed what he wanted to say and preemptively spoke firmly to his younger brother.

His body stood as firm as a rock, his eyes resolute yet powerful, concealing worry, and he inexplicably exuded a strength.

"Your transformation is astonishing, Clark."

David looked Clark up and down, raising an eyebrow: "Are you planning to establish your authority as the older brother from now on and strictly discipline your younger brother who is in danger of going astray?"

With his thoughts revealed in a single sentence, Clark clenched his fist and met David's gaze without flinching, speaking sincerely.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Upon hearing this, David, who was experiencing some kind of stress reaction, was considering whether to pull out a piece of kryptonite from his pocket and bring the stubborn Clark back to reality.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

"it is good."

"You agreed?" Clark, who had been on high alert and ready to retreat hundreds of meters at the slightest sign of trouble, was somewhat surprised.

42. Chapter 42: A New Template

Buckle up!

There was a knock on the door.

Chloe, who was taking a nap, came downstairs. There were still pillow marks on her face. When she saw Clark outside the door, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked puzzled.

"Clark, what's up? You came to visit me?"

"Chloe, is Uncle home?" Clark, who had previously put on a tough act, had returned to his usual self and looked inside.

"He didn't come back from the factory, so I cooked lunch for myself again."

Chloe complained.

Chloe's father was a department manager at the fertilizer plant that Luther managed, and he was usually very busy.

"My family is in a bit of trouble, Chloe, can you help me?"

Clark pleaded.

"Trouble? Come in."

Although Chloe was puzzled by her friend's request for help, she did not refuse and welcomed him into the house.

"Our family farm..."

On the living room sofa, Clark quickly recounted what had happened.

“I need Mr. Rickman’s information.”

"Can shaking hands really make someone sell their hard-earned farmland?"

Chloe, who loved exploring such strange and unusual things, immediately perked up.

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get my computer."

Ding Ding Deng!

She ran quickly upstairs.

Clark touched the blue hood hidden in his pocket.

His plan was to first find out if Rickman was a mutant, then get his address from Chloe, and then go there to settle the matter.

A moment later, Chloe excitedly ran downstairs with her laptop, turned it on, and was about to search for all sorts of information about Rickman when she suddenly remembered something and looked out the door in confusion.

"By the way, where's David?"

David couldn't possibly have missed such a big event as his farm and house being taken away.

“David, he…”

Clark scratched his head, unsure of what to say. Upon hearing his brother's agreement, he instantly activated his super speed and arrived at Chloe's house, afraid of wasting even a moment and losing to his brother.

As for what David is doing now, he has no idea.

……

On the outskirts of the town, in a vast and silent forest.

call!

A figure moving at near-sonic speed appeared and suddenly stopped, creating a gust of wind that swept up fallen leaves in front of it.

[Thanos template 100% complete]

Loading a new template

[New template loading... 1%... 3%]

After stopping and making sure no one was around, David looked through the information in front of him.

He had intended to refuse Clark's proposal, but suddenly the Thanos template fusion was complete.

After Clark ran away, he immediately came to this deserted forest to prepare for the fusion of the second template.

"It's the first time merging two templates, so it's best to be cautious."

David didn't want to make a fuss in front of the farm and worry his parents.

"What will the new template be?" His eyes lit up with anticipation.

Suddenly, my body started to heat up, a persistent heat, as if molten lava was surging inside my blood vessels, and the cosmic energy contained within every cell was surging and turbulent.

The bones crackled and popped.

Deep within my body, it felt as if something was merging.

David's heart raced uncontrollably as he looked at his hands, where the skin, which had turned purple from using superhuman strength, was fading slightly.

He touched his chin, and the deep lines that had formed were beginning to recede.

Stab it!

A purple energy ripple, like an electric current, shot out from his hand.

A large tree in the distance was hit, and it looked as if it had been struck by a laser. A gruesome wound, more than ten centimeters deep and sparking, appeared on the tree.

Swish swish!

Ripples of energy shot out, sweeping away and felling the surrounding trees.

The cosmic energy within his body was roaring, and David felt that as the new template was loaded and integrated, the previously dormant energy within his body was about to break through some kind of obstacle.

Like a raging tide about to break through a dam, he felt as if something was stuck in his chest, a suppressed feeling that was about to burst forth, accompanied by a low growl as he threw a punch.

hum!
