I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.
Chapter 48: Standoff
Lilith sat opposite the woman, listening to her story of her first meeting with Superman. As she recounted the tale, she would chuckle softly from time to time, as if she were reliving that wonderful time herself.
After the woman finished telling the story, Lilith still looked absent-minded. She was thinking about what she should do if Daddy Superman really was the target of the mission.
Lilith's downcast expression made the woman think that Lilith was in a bad mood, so in order to cheer her up, she took the initiative to speak:
"You probably don't know Wei Xiao's story before he came to Earth, right? He didn't write about these things in his autobiography, but you'll definitely be interested."
Upon hearing this, Lilith recalled the story that Superman's father had told her before she went on her mission in the Mariana Trench.
He knew the story, but did not stop the woman from speaking, since the two had nothing else to talk about.
The woman said:
"The reason why Wei Xiao came to Blue Star is because his home planet is a civilization that advocates peace and order. The technology there is very advanced, and every member can traverse star systems with their physical bodies thanks to the enhancement of biotechnology."
Most importantly, possessing such power, they did not think of war and aggression, but instead dedicated themselves to spreading universal morality throughout the universe and ending war and suffering…
As the woman recounted her story, Lilith's mind went blank. What the woman said was completely different from what Superman's father had told her.
Superman's father tells Lilith that his home planet is an extreme example of social Darwinism, where the weak have no right to survive, and that's why he left his home planet.
But the woman said that Superman's home planet worshipped order and peace, and that Superman came to Earth at the behest of his home planet.
The two pieces of news contradicted each other, leaving Lilith unsure of whom to believe.
However, Lilith quickly calmed down and began to sort out the known information. If what Superman's father told her was true, then why would he lie to his wife and blatantly glorify that terrible home planet?
If Superman's dad lied to Lilith, why would he do it? Was he simply trying to get Lilith to lend Amelia out?
Lilith was completely baffled. She pondered the matter in her mind and soon found a key piece of information.
When He first came to this world, He encountered Adeline. From Adeline's self-introduction, He learned that Adeline's civilization had been destroyed by the gods, and the reason was that they spread universal morality everywhere.
This proves that the gods do not allow the existence of universal morality, therefore the woman's message is wrong.
Why would Superman's father deceive the woman? She is his wife, the closest person in the world to him. If he deceives even his wife, how credible are the things he says to Lilith?
"What is he hiding...?"
Lilith murmured something, a cryptic remark that puzzled the woman. She opened her mouth, about to ask a question, when she heard the sound of a door lock opening and closing. The woman's voice then brightened with joy:
"Wei Xiao, you're back just in time. A friend is looking for you."
Hearing this, Lilith turned around and saw Superman's dad, covered in mosaics, standing wearily in the doorway. He stared at Lilith for several seconds before speaking:
"I'm surprised you're here. Is there something you need?"
"Yes, and it's a very important thing."
Lilith said those words calmly, and her composed face made Superman's father frown slightly. He looked at Lilith, then at Amelia standing to the side, and felt that the atmosphere had become strange.
"Is that so..."
Superman's dad took a deep breath and reached into an inner room:
"Let's talk in the study."
Lilith nodded and walked towards the innermost room. Superman's dad followed, and before closing the door, he looked back at the woman.
The woman noticed that something was off and looked worried. Superman smiled at her before closing the door.
“…………”
Silence descended. When Superman's father and Lilith were alone in the room, they looked at each other, neither of them speaking first. The atmosphere was filled with silence.
Time ticked by, and gradually, Lilith grew impatient. To break the deadlock, she decided to test Superman's father:
"Are you here to invade Earth?"
Upon hearing this, Superman's father was somewhat taken aback. He asked:
"Does anyone else know about this?"
Upon hearing those seven words, Lilith's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe that Daddy Superman hadn't offered any explanation but had simply admitted it.
He immediately said with a dark face:
"Just me."
"Very good……"
Superman's dad breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. This was the first time Lilith had ever seen Superman's dad like this. He was completely different from the stern-faced guy he used to be.
silence.
Silence again.
To quickly end the tense atmosphere, Superman's dad took the initiative to speak:
"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
Lilith didn't speak, she just stared at him.
Superman's dad was a little helpless about this. He rubbed his temples and continued:
"Since you don't want to ask, then I'll tell you myself."
I've been honest with you before about the civilization of my home planet. I didn't lie to you about those things, there was just a small discrepancy.
I did not defect here. On the contrary, I came here on a mission from my home planet. I need to transform Blue Star into a habitable environment for us within two hundred years…”
"Daddy said, his tone becoming increasingly agitated, and the content he was describing was becoming more and more horrifying, because the civilization he lived in was not only extremely social Darwinist, but also extremely nationalist.
They do not allow the weak to exist, nor do they allow all other races to exist. The reason they help humans eliminate giant beasts is only to better enslave or kill them...
Hearing these mind-blowing words, Lilith's clenched fists trembled. She couldn't believe these words came from the upright Superman father. She asked:
"Is this really what you truly feel? You and your wife are married, and you seem very much in love."
"You're right."
Superman's father did not deny Lilith's words:
"She is indeed very special. Despite being so fragile, she possesses such charm. Sometimes I think that what she said might not be without reason."
But she is too weak, so weak that she will turn into bones after a hundred years. And what about me? I have countless centuries in my life. I can forget the past for her sake, and even pretend to be someone else in the days to come.
But I can never truly accept those words… that’s the mindset of the weak.”
As he spoke, Superman's father slowly approached Lilith, a hint of hesitation and struggle appearing on his face. He said:
"Over the years on Earth, I almost forgot my original mission, and even thought about actually defecting from my home planet and spending my life on Earth."
But your appearance reminded me that, whether I am a conqueror or a perfect hero and husband, you must die. I'm sorry...
