I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Thanos casually pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I think we can find a new topic to talk about today."

Depp replied nonchalantly, "How about... something like... about my upcoming departure?"

Thanos shook his head helplessly and said, "Stop thinking about those unrealistic things. With me here, you definitely won't be able to escape."

"That's not necessarily true. There are many things in this world that you, even someone as powerful as you, have never heard of, never seen, and cannot imagine."

As soon as Depp finished speaking, a purple mist appeared beside him.

Thanos immediately stood up to try to stop him, but it was too late.

Furthermore, the power of the system is not something that Thanos alone can contend with.

Before leaving, Depp said to Thanos, "Thanos, watch out for Ebony Maw. He's not as loyal as you think."

After saying that, Depp disappeared along with the purple mist.

Thanos stood blankly in the confinement room, staring intently at the spot where Depp had disappeared.

Just now, he felt a power he had never seen before.

That power both startled and puzzled him.

As Depp said, it was a power he had never heard of, never seen, and could not imagine.

And Depp's last words... Ebony Maw.

Chapter 202 Lex Luthor's Ideal

Thanos sat cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought. All of Ebony Maw's actions and details flashed through his mind.

After a long while, Thanos called out to Ebony Maw, who was hiding outside and observing, "Come in here for a moment, Ebony Maw."

Upon hearing this, Ebony Maw immediately entered respectfully and said, "What are your orders, my master?"

Thanos patted Ebony Maw on the shoulder and said, "Stay here and do your job. If you want anything to eat, just tell the guard."

Upon hearing this, Ebony Maw paused briefly, then immediately understood Thanos's meaning.

"Master, are you going to lock me up? But I've never done anything to wrong you!" Ebony Maw cried out in a pleading tone.

Thanos, however, remained unmoved and walked straight out of the confinement room.

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll come back to you when the time is right."

Upon seeing this, Ebony Maw immediately roared, "No! Master, you can't treat me like this! I am loyal!"

Before leaving, Thanos glanced back at Ebony Maw and said, "In that case, you shall faithfully guard this place for me."

After saying this, Thanos ordered the guards to close the hatch and activated a device that could suppress Ebony Maw's abilities and magic.

These things were originally intended for Depp.

After Thanos left, Ebony Maw immediately thought of Depp.

"That damned guy must have said something to Master, otherwise Master would never have treated me like this!"

But it's too late to say anything now; Ebony Maw can only wait here for Thanos to use him again.

In the town of Smallville, the midday sun shone brightly as usual, and the air was filled with the fragrance of plants.

Depp, who was leaning on the railing, came to his senses and looked at the system page in confusion.

"Strange, logically speaking, since I resurrected Frigga, I should have received the reward for changing the character's fate!"

"Hey, you damn system! Did you swallow my reward?"

When Depp asked the question, the system remained silent, like a dead dog.

But at the same time, Thor wrote a letter.

"Depp, are you home safely?"

Depp replied, "Just got home. You're asking at just the right time!"

On the other end of the voice call, Thor chuckled憨厚ly.

Suddenly, Thor shouted, "Attack! The cursed warriors are here again!"

Then, before Depp could even get a grip on the situation, Thor exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! As expected, my father is the strongest. He destroyed that cursed warrior with a mere flick of his wrist."

Depp calmed down a bit upon hearing this. It seemed that Odin had directly intervened and instantly killed the Cursed Warrior.

At the same time, Depp also heard a system notification sound.

"Congratulations, host, for changing Frigga's fate and saving her from death. You have obtained 1 Fate Crystal and 1 Magic Crystal."

Magic Crystal: When worn, it can amplify the power of one's own magic by 50%.

Looking at the newly acquired item, Depp couldn't help but exclaim, "Anything produced by the system is bound to be top-notch!"

A 50% increase in magical power—who would have imagined that without a system!

Furthermore, Depp speculated that the reason the mission hadn't been marked as complete before was because the Cursed Warrior was still alive.

This guy could attack Asgard again at any time, threatening Frigga's life.

After Odin killed the cursed warrior with a single spear thrust, Frigga's danger was completely eliminated, and the system naturally notified her that the mission was complete.

After smoking a cigarette, Depp returned to the classroom and began teaching his students.

Jingle bell~

When the school bell rang, Depp grabbed his briefcase and left the classroom.

Overtime? Not a chance!

See you tomorrow, classmates.

Goodbye, teacher!

Depp left the classroom and went straight to the infirmary.

Selena works here every day, and Depp's daily routine of picking up his wife from the infirmary after the bell rings has become a must.

Fortunately, there's usually not much work in the infirmary, especially after Selena left one of the boys.

This guy seems to have spread the word among the students, which has led to a significant decrease in the number of students coming to Selena's place.

However, this suited Selena perfectly; she couldn't be bothered to treat those teenagers whose hormones were raging every day.

All her energy and love are devoted to her man.

Ding ding ding, Depp knocked on the door of the infirmary.

With a creak, the old door to the infirmary opened, and Selena, wearing black stockings and a white doctor's coat, appeared before Depp.

Selena appeared to have just woken up, her silk stockings framing her delicate feet and the slippers she was wearing.

With sleepy, hazy eyes, glasses perched precariously on his nose, and slightly disheveled long hair, anyone who saw this scene couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

Depp leaned in and lifted Selena up, carrying her by her round, pert buttocks.

Then, with a slight flick of his left foot, clad in black leather shoes, he closed the infirmary door again.

"Honey...husband! There are security cameras here, let's go home."

Upon hearing this, Depp kissed Selena directly, his eyes eventually rolling back slightly.

A barely perceptible electric current swept through, directly burning out the monitoring components in the medical room.

"Now, no one can bother us."

"Well."

They carried Selena to the bed in the infirmary.

That night, Depp gently picked up the sleeping Selena and slid his finger across the room, creating a portal that led to the infirmary.

Depp stepped inside and returned to his bedroom in his own villa.

Depp gently placed Selena on the bed and immediately checked the message Lex had left him.

Lex Luthor: Hey, Levi, I heard... you used your connections to take over all the businesses of those families in Gotham City?

Depp replied, "To be precise, it wasn't me, but my subordinates and friends who did it."

Depp was not lying; he only told him all of this after Wellen and Oswald had done it.

This windfall truly pleased him and solidified his complete trust in Oswald.

A minute later, Lex replied, "Looks like you have some really great employees and friends. I'll let you in on a secret: my dad was furious when he found out all this."

Depp asked, "Your dad? Lionel Luther is also interested in this business in Gotham?"

Lex said, "That's right, my father was also interested in the bidding for this acquisition, but when he found out the result, he slapped the guy in charge of the deal across the face, and then he even said he would report the Gotham City government. He was really furious, haha."

Upon hearing this, Depp asked with great interest, "It seems you don't quite approve of your father. You seem very happy to see him fail in business."

Lex made no attempt to hide his opinion: "That's right, we've never shared the same philosophy. Especially recently, I felt I had found the direction I should be striving for in my life, but unfortunately, it's completely contrary to his business acumen."

Depp asked, "Oh? What are your current ideals? Can you analyze them with me?"

Lex said generously, "Of course, no problem. My ideal is to create a world without poverty and suffering! People can obtain the food, supplies, and even housing they need from their daily work. No one will have to worry about survival anymore. Everyone can devote most of their energy to how to make the world progress, how to explore outer space, and how to make people's lives more comfortable."

"You know, this theory and idea completely conflict with my father's capitalist ideology."

Depp was taken aback when he heard this.

Why does Lex's theory sound so familiar?

Wait a minute, isn't this what I told Clark and the others in my political science class?

Could it be... that Clark shared it with Lex, and this playboy happened to become interested in it, directly transforming into a candidate for Red Warrior?

That's absolutely incredible!

It's important to understand that Lex Luthor is different from Clark, who only possesses strength.

This guy, whose brain is at the pinnacle of intelligence and who owns world-renowned companies, could actually do these things!

Thinking about this, a figure involuntarily came to Depp's mind.

Bruce Wayne, the playboy hidden behind the bat mask.
