Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Chapter 19: Despair, Clark is determined

"Three...three cities are just like this..."

Clark felt the terrifying energy explosion in person in the green light protection shield constructed by Canary, and his body could not help but tremble.

On the side, little Jonathan sensed Clark's fear, so he walked over and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, everyone will protect you..."

But such words made Clark excited.

"I... I am indeed scared! But... I also hope to be able to help everyone! I don't want to be a burden to you, and I also have strength!"

Except for Superman who was staring at the ruins of the three cities in a daze, everyone, including Wonder Woman who was flying beside Superman in the sky, heard what Clark said at this time.

"I...I always thought I was just an ordinary person, but the truth is, I am also a Kryptonian, and I also have superpowers. I just hate myself. I failed to protect my friends in my own world, and when I came here, I became a burden. Then what's the point of having such power!!"

"Eh..."

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts after hearing this. All those who knew Clark's background simply regarded him as a young Superman. But until this moment, they realized that Clark was not Superman, he was Clark Parker, a Kryptonian living in a different environment.

At this time, Damian came over and also put his arm on Clark's shoulders.

"It's not your fault that you have power. No one can decide their birth. If you feel confused, why not let go of these responsibilities that don't belong to you?"

If it were an ordinary person, Damian's persuasion would definitely have achieved good results, but he still underestimated Clark, or rather, underestimated Kal-El.

The innate empathy of Kryptonians basically means that they are unlikely to give up this responsibility.

Just like Superman who is looking at the ruins of the city with sadness at this moment, when they realize the extraordinary power they possess, it is impossible for them to let go of the responsibility in their hearts.

Even if Superman in another world turned evil because of the death of his wife and son, and became cruel and dictatorial, he still took on his responsibility to protect humanity, but in a different way.

"I can't do it! I obviously have the power, so how can I just ignore something like this? I also want to do something. I also want to help others like you, instead of just living under your protection!"

Clark realized the despair of this world, so he couldn't just sit back and watch. In his own world, it was because he didn't react in time that his friend Matthew went blind. In this world, he absolutely couldn't just watch like that again.

At this moment, the heroes didn't know what to say. Cyborg and Green Arrow were not good at persuading others, and Canary was even less so.

As for Damian and little Jonathan, they themselves are not mentally qualified to be heroes, so naturally they cannot speak any profound truths.

But there was only one exception.

Wonder Woman, who also noticed Clark, slowly descended from the sky and stood in front of Clark.

"I heard that you want to take responsibility like us?"

Feeling the powerful and heavy aura from Wonder Woman is a completely different feeling from that from Superman.

Although they are both superheroes, Wonder Woman is more like a ruthless warrior than Superman who always brings hope to people. Especially in such a disaster, Wonder Woman's warrior attributes are more prominent.

"No...that's right..."

Clark suppressed his discomfort and nodded, and the next moment, Wonder Woman in front of him attacked and punched Clark in the face.

"this!"

Wonder Woman's movements were not fast, at least that was the view of little Jonathan standing by, but for Clark, he could only barely see Wonder Woman's fist swinging towards him.

Instinctively, Clark wanted to raise his arm to block, but he was still a step too late. Wonder Woman's punch hit him hard in the face. His body flew backwards and broke through the green light barrier that Canary was gradually withdrawing, falling from the rooftop dozens of meters away to the ruins on the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.

"Ah! Ahem..."

Pain. Clark had never felt such pain since he was born. With his extraordinary talent and the love of his family, he had never endured such pain.

Almost instinctively, Clark was about to cry out, but at this moment, Wonder Woman, who had already come in front of him, shouted.

"shut up!"

This loud shout frightened Clark and also forced him to hold back his tears.

"Diana..this.."

At this time, Wonder Woman's sudden action also successfully attracted Superman's attention. It's not that he didn't hear Clark's words, but because of the destruction of the three cities and the survivors in them, Superman had no time to take care of it.

After discovering that Wonder Woman was attacking Clark directly, he immediately wanted to step forward to stop her, but was interrupted by Wonder Woman's wave of her hand.

"Superman, I remember you said on the radio that we need to gather all our strength to fight the virus? Is that right?"

Knowing what Wonder Woman meant, Superman nodded with a complicated expression and planned to continue persuading her.

"That's true, but he's just a child..."

"But he is also a Kryptonian, a future Superman, isn't he? He is you as a child!"

This sentence made Clark completely speechless. What else could he say? To excuse himself? After Clark himself said that he hoped to help, he simply couldn't say such a thing.

At this time, Wonder Woman had already turned her attention back to Clark who had stood up.

Crying was just a child's instinct. Clark's super-developed brain and empathy far beyond that of normal people made him regain his sanity, and he looked at Wonder Woman firmly again.

In other words, after Wonder Woman's attack just now, he is now able to face up to this powerful heroine and the cold aura she exudes.

"It's pretty cool."

In response, Wonder Woman nodded. After being attacked by her, Clark not only did not continue to be afraid of her, but instead had the courage to look her in the face. This proved that the other party's statement of wanting to take responsibility was not just talk.

"If you don't want to live under our protection, then become stronger and become a powerful warrior. If you don't have strength, all your ideas are false!"

This is what Wonder Woman thinks. She herself became a warrior and gradually became a hero after gaining power.

"I will train you, and I hope you won't let me down!"
