Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

"Let me fight Superman if necessary..."

The Fortress of Solitude, where Clark also got his own private room, and at this moment, he was sitting alone on the bed, thinking.

It had been a few days since his communication with Luthor, and after he was given the authorization for the underground base, he returned to the Fortress of Solitude with Luthor to continue his heroic work.

It has to be said that as the plan went smoothly, Black Adam was subdued, and most of the infected people on land were sent to the Dark World by Luthor's plan, everyone has indeed felt a lot more relaxed during this period of time.

The remaining survivors have all been rescued, which is almost the same as originally expected. A total of about 1500 million people have been arranged to go to Gotham Forest and Paradise Island.

After being freed from the trouble of tedious affairs, the heroes, under the leadership of Luther and Cyborg, began to develop an antidote for the virus.

But it is obvious that the virus born from the self-reflexive life equation cannot be eliminated so easily.

Cyborg and Luthor devoted themselves to research, but did not achieve much success.

If it were any other situation, the two of them would have just persisted and would have found a way to create an antidote one day.

But Black Adam's defeat doesn't mean things are completely over.

Because there is a huge threat hiding deep under the sea.

Aquaman Arthur has not been defeated until now, but has been hiding in the sea, spreading deadly viruses in the vast ocean.

More and more water resources are being polluted, and the water carrying the virus cannot be drunk until an antidote is successfully developed.

The Atlanteans, who were used to keep parts of the sea unpolluted, were no match for Aquaman Arthur.

More and more Atlanteans were defeated in the battles with Aquaman Arthur for ocean authority and became infected.

If the threat from land is resolved, humans can slowly expand outward and regain lost land.

Then the existence of Aquaman Arthur has almost blocked the future of human beings continuing to live on Earth.

If food is gone, it can be grown again, and among the surviving humans there are many who are good at farming.

But with the oceans thoroughly polluted and part of the Earth's water cycle completely broken, humans can already see their end on Earth.

"Are you arguing again..."

At this time, a quarrel broke out again in the hall of the Fortress of Solitude, and the two people quarreling were Luthor and Superman.

Clark sighed, put away his complicated thoughts, opened the door and walked out.

In the hall, Luther mentioned his plan again.

"Superman, it's time for you to face reality. Yes, we have indeed gained temporary divine power, and the safety of the survivors has been guaranteed, but no one can deal with the infected Aquaman in the sea. As long as he is there, time will not be on our side."

In fact, Luther's statement is already very conservative. From the moment the infected fell into the sea, the water resources were already contaminated. The existence of Aquaman Arthur only used his abilities to speed up this process.

"But this is our hometown. How can we just run away like this? We still have hope. We will definitely survive this disaster."

Superman said the same thing as always, and the reason for this quarrel was very similar to the one two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, not long after the virus broke out, Luther had already proposed his own Ark Plan.

Just like the mythical Noah's Ark, a spaceship large enough to accommodate a large number of humans is built, and the surviving humans are sent to a new planet that has not been infected to start their lives.

At that time, this plan was rejected by Superman, and the reasons Superman gave were exactly the same as they are now, and at that time, it was also agreed by almost all heroes.

Even if some people who were not pure heroes agreed with Luthor's statement, in the end, nothing came of it as Superman's side had more people than him.

But this time, when Superman said the same words again and wanted to continue to encourage everyone, he found that there were only a few people supporting him.

In fact, Cyborg took the lead in standing on Luthor's side this time.

"Superman, we can indeed hold on. As you can see, I'm a cyborg. It's not difficult for me to go without water for a year or two, but it's not the same for ordinary survivors. They not only need food, but also clean water."

They have thought of some plans to lure out Aquaman Arthur and kill him. Although this still cannot reverse the pollution of the sea water, it can at least buy more time.

But all the plans that both he and Luther came up with failed.

The infected Sea King Arthur obviously has a clear idea. He will not actively attack humans. He will only use methods such as polluting the sea water to slowly force all humans to death.

Without Arthur taking the initiative, there was no way they could break into the sea full of viruses and defeat Arthur.

Because the sea water is full of viruses, even Superman cannot guarantee that he will not be infected.

Compared to Luthor, Cyborg's tone was much calmer.

He knew that the reason why Superman had always rejected this plan was not because of stubbornness, but because Superman had already lost his home planet long ago.

Although Superman was just a child at the time and was sent to Earth early, he already knew the truth about the destruction of Krypton.

Krypton did not persecute him, and his parents loved him. Therefore, Superman also identified Krypton as his home planet and felt sad for its destruction.

He had already lost his home planet once, so no matter what, he didn't want to give up the Earth, his second home planet where he had lived for decades.

"Superman, we do have to leave Earth, because ordinary people can no longer hold on. Even if 1500 million people are extremely frugal, the amount of water they use cannot be underestimated. Under Arthur's active pollution, we have reached our limit, but this does not mean we are giving up on Earth. We are just leaving temporarily. When Luther develops an antidote that can crack the virus, we will naturally come back."

"Humph.."

Luthor behind Cyborg snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Superman's sentimental behavior, but he didn't say much, because Cyborg's thoughts were actually his thoughts, and he had never thought of abandoning the earth directly. It was just that under the current circumstances, the resources on earth were indeed not enough to support their survival.

"I see.."

Eventually, Superman backs off.

It's not that he was unreasonable, he was just bound by his inner feelings for a moment. Under the persuasion of everyone and in the eyes of all the heroes, he agreed to Luthor's plan.

The Ark Project has begun.
