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

He held the stone, reciting a wish-granting spell from a fairy tale.

A second or two passed, and then nothing happened.

Because he had no intention of making a wish, and his tone was even sarcastic.

It is certain that this is a wondrous object with magical powers, but it either comes with huge limitations on making a wish or a huge price to pay.

"Otherwise, Romulus II would have ruled the world and lived to this day, wouldn't he?"

Under the lamplight, Luther, whose face was half-hidden in the darkness, chuckled, his eyes filled with restrained yet burgeoning ambition, and murmured softly.

"No rush... I'll find out your secret."

He will make a wish then, but he hasn't decided what to wish for yet.

"Uncover all the secrets related to the meteorite? Or become a modern-day Alexander and rule the world?..."

……

After a pleasant and heartwarming dinner.

The sky was full of stars, and a cool night breeze was blowing.

David and Kayla arrived outside the farm. As the only person in the family who was 'familiar' with Kayla, his parents asked him to see her off.

Thank you for today.

After walking a dozen meters, David fell silent for a moment before speaking.

“It’s nothing, Nama.”

I'd do anything for you.

With light steps, Kayla's face was filled with a faint joy.

"You are destined to be the savior."

"Could you please stop calling me Nama?"

David frowned slightly and asked awkwardly.

He didn't believe the prophecy and didn't care much about what Kayla called him before, but now she's become a friend of the family. His mother, Martha, and father, Jonathan, adore this spirited and intelligent girl.

"You've had close contact with Clark."

"The Sergai that your tribe prophesied would destroy the world is definitely not him. Giving him a girl would be enough to overwhelm him; how could he possibly destroy the world?"

It's not surprising that aliens are different from humans, given that they are said to be stronger than ten people and can shoot flames from their eyes.

As for the accompanying fire, it was mostly a misinterpretation by people with limited technology at the time of the spaceship's arrival and the flashing light.

"And the savior..."

A hint of helplessness flashed across David's eyes.

At that time, the indigenous people probably didn't know what the mainland was, and the world in their eyes was probably just a series of mountain valleys.

"sure……"

Kayla smiled; she also felt that the way Nama was addressed was a bit too intimate. Her eyes lit up, and she tried to bring it up herself.

"May I call you David?"

Seeing that David did not resist, she frowned and changed the subject.

"Your brother Clark, at this point in time, is indeed not involved in destruction or annihilation."

Kayla recalls her interactions with Clark, noting that he was shy yet kind, and would be extremely anxious about his family's dangers.

"But... even the cruel and cold-blooded crocodile is innocent and cute when it is first born."

However, she still wouldn't easily believe that the prophecy that had been circulating in the tribe for five hundred years was false.

"The lion's bloodthirsty nature is ingrained in its bones. Even if it resists its fate, it cannot survive by eating grass and will eventually show its fangs."

David: "..."

……

"Nama? Sergai?"

"Destroy the world, me?"

Standing on the warehouse attic, watching his younger brother see Kayla off a few dozen meters away, Clark, who had just finished eating and was secretly practicing controlling his newly emerging ability, looked astonished.

He had just overheard something.

David and Kayla seemed to be talking about something strange.

During the conversation, it seemed that they talked about what kind of Sergei he was, with a bloodthirsty nature etched into his bones, who would destroy the world in the future?

"Just...just kidding."

David returned after seeing Kayla off and climbed to the attic, the perfect spot for enjoying the breeze and stargazing. Clark watched his brother come up the stairs and couldn't help but speak up.

"David, what were you and Kayla talking about just now?"

Chapter 69. Luther's Experiment

"Son, tell me what you put on my body yesterday?"

At the breakfast table in the morning, Jonathan, the father, ate the sandwiches made by Martha in high spirits, showing no signs of the near-death poisoning, high fever, and coma he had suffered the day before.

In fact, he had never felt so healthy, as if he had inexhaustible energy, and he recalled the past with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

"It's the Dionysian factor."

"Is this Dionysus something made of metal?"

Jonathan looked puzzled, wondering if he would have any problems going through security checks when boarding planes in the future.

"almost."

Knowing that people generally don't put metal in their mouths, David changed his approach to something more palatable: "Actually, you can think of it as a herbal soup too."

Although the Dionysian factor can grant immortality and even bring the dead back to life, Jonathan's appearance did not change much.

However, Lei Xiaogu, who has lived for over seven hundred years and is immortal, also looks like a middle-aged man. The Joker in the comics, who possesses the purest Dionysian factor, doesn't have the face of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old.

"Perhaps the Dionysus factor has no effect on the host's apparent age?"

"Herbal soup?"

Martha held the stone test tube in her hand, looking at the dark green liquid metal inside with a hesitant expression. Her son had told her to drink it that morning, saying it was good for her health.

Even knowing that her son would never harm her, the thought of drinking metal still made her hesitant, and besides, she wasn't sick, so perhaps she didn't need to take medication for the time being.

At the dinner table, Clark seemed preoccupied, silently drinking the seafood soup his mother had made without saying a word.

Yesterday he asked his brother what he and Kayla were talking about, and his brother replied that it was nothing and didn't say anything more.

But he actually heard the whole conversation between the two.

"Sergei? Destroy the world?"

David glanced at Clark and sensed that he seemed to have something on his mind.

Thinking of Rickman, whom he had killed, Clark wondered if he had returned home and was still struggling with the matter.

Yesterday, Clark asked David about his conversation with Kayla. David thought it was just a casual question and replied that it was nothing.

"Being seen as a prophetic savior and having to say it yourself is bound to make people feel ashamed."

Moreover, Kayla will eventually realize the error of her tribe's prophecy, and then the matter will simply pass.

At the dining table, David swallowed a mouthful of thick soup, his eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly.

It was just a misunderstanding. No one likes to be seen as a villain who will destroy the world in the future, so he didn't tell Clark about this completely meaningless and unpleasant thing.

After finishing my meal, on my way to school.

"David, where have you been these past two days since you missed school?"

David shrugged when Chloe and Pete asked him curiously.

"I went to Gotham because of some family matters."

"Gotham?" Chloe and the other woman exchanged glances, clearly having both heard of the name.

"I've heard that gangs are everywhere there, and you have to be careful even when walking through alleys during the day." Chloe recalled the rumors about Gotham, and a look of resistance appeared on her face. She was interested in strange and unusual things, but gang robberies were out of the question.

I've heard that the security there is worse than in Smallville.

"Things are probably a little better now than before."

David laughed.

Batman's appearance, while unable to reverse the corrupt ecosystem of Gotham from top to bottom, at least had some effect.

Even criminals and thugs are afraid; they're terrified when Batman suddenly appears, beats them severely, and throws them in jail.

"I heard there's a masked vigilante named Batman?"

Pete recalled the news he had seen not long ago.
