Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Everyone's attention has been diverted, even myself, and everyone seems to have overlooked something very important.

Thinking about this inexplicable meeting, Clark felt even more that something was wrong.

Luthor has arranged everything. All the plans have been told to all the heroes and survivors through internal communications. The plans have been finalized long ago, and there is no need to gather all the heroes.

But why did Luther host this final meeting which had no meaning at all?

And what is it that is being ignored by everyone?

Clark was thinking, he had always been happy for Luther, because Luthor had gained everyone's recognition with his own abilities, and everyone agreed with his ideas.

But now it seems that gaining recognition is only Luther's first step. He obviously used everyone's recognition of him to do something.

Although Clark can guarantee that in such a situation, Luthor's starting point is definitely for the betterment of the whole, but with Luthor's extremely radical style, if he came up with any big plan, the people who might get hurt would not be just one or two people.

Clark was still thinking, but soon, reality gave the answer.

No one paid attention to Luther's repetition of the plan that everyone had long been familiar with, and their minds were relaxed to the extreme. At this moment, a huge green shadow slowly emerged behind Luther. When everyone saw the other party's existence clearly, it was too late.

A beam of heat vision similar to Superman's shot out from the monster's eyes, instantly piercing Luthor and splitting his body in two.

It's Martian Manhunter.

The person that Luthor used the entire Ark Project as bait to lead everyone to forget was none other than the Martian Manhunter.

At the moment when all the heroes gathered, Martian Manhunter finally launched the attack. After seeing the smile that remained on Luthor's body after being cut by the heat vision, Clark understood it completely. He didn't need any explanation, and he also understood Luthor's plan.

After Martian Manhunter was infected, Clark also consulted some heroes about Martian Manhunter's abilities and learned about several particularly troublesome abilities such as invisibility and hollowness.

The infected retain their intelligence, and they will use this retained intelligence, make full use of their own abilities, and find ways to make their lives end.

This is especially true for a being with complex abilities like the Martian Manhunter.

Eve will use her teleportation ability to lead the infected and heroes to fight guerrilla warfare, so the Martian Hunter will naturally use his own abilities to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Luthor took this into consideration, Superman would stay on Earth, Wonder Woman would go to outer space, and once the last two pillar heroes were separated, Martian Manhunter would be fully capable of defeating them one by one.

So Luthor planned this plan. He used the Ark Project to dilute people's attention to the Martian Hunter, while packaging himself as the hope of mankind and the enemy of the Anti-Life Equation.

Bring all the heroes together again today.

The careless hero, the fragile hope, the neglected Martian Manhunter, Luthor thought he had created almost all the favorable conditions, and at the cost of his own life, lured the Martian Manhunter out before the Ark took off.

Just as Clark figured it out, an accident happened again.

Luther calculated everything, even himself, but he could not calculate every single person in depth.

In this meeting, because the Flash was also the one who was going to travel to the alien planet, this time, Barry stood too close to Force Luthor.

The Martian Manhunter, who cut Luthor in half with his heat vision, then attacked Barry.

Even though Barry tried to dodge and his speed force flashed through his body, his back was still scratched by the Martian Manhunter's sharp claws.

Everyone saw this scene, but at this moment, no one could care about it, because the Martian Hunter was not a simple enemy.

Luthor's death stimulated everyone. Even Superman still held back, but Green Arrow, Canary, Wonder Woman and others no longer held back.

The arrow exploded in the Martian Hunter's face, and the resulting smoke obscured his vision. A huge fist formed by green light energy punched the Martian Hunter away.

Diana, holding the Sword of Vulcan, can leave deep wounds visible to the bone with every attack.

The extremely powerful Superman is enough to suppress the Martian Manhunter head-on.

With so many other superheroes rushing in, even the former mainstay Martian Manhunter was ultimately defeated.

He was killed in a very short time, and only then did everyone look at the cut-off Luther.

At this time, someone had already arrived in front of Luther faster than anyone else.

"Mr. Luther..."

Clark held up Luthor's body and burst into tears.

He couldn't say such nonsense as "You will be fine". He knew about Luther's injuries. Luther also knew that his lower body was separated from his upper body. Although there would be no risk of infection because it was a thermal attack, he was definitely dead.

"Looks like I messed up..."

Luthor saw clearly that Martian Manhunter attacked Barry and the Speedster was infected. Although the Martian Manhunter was dealt with, more troublesome things happened.

He smiled at himself, thinking that he was the smartest man on earth, but when it came to this life-and-death moment, he still couldn't create a miracle like Batman.

"Boy..."

Luthor frankly admitted his failure and faced his own death, but at the last moment, he looked at Clark in front of him.

It was obvious that this kid would become the person he hated the most when he grew up, but at this moment, the other party's next answer was his last thought.

"Boy, you know what I'm thinking, right..."

The two of them had once been in tune with each other, just as Clark understood Luthor's plan the moment the Martian Manhunter appeared, Luthor also keenly felt that Clark already knew everything about him.

"I understand..I understand everything..."

"Really? That's great. So this is what it feels like to be understood."

The people who gathered around Luther did not come for profit, but were simply impressed by his strength. In fact, no one understood this arrogant genius at all. But at this moment, the person who understood Luther appeared.

"If you could travel through time and leave this world right now, how wonderful it would be..."

After saying his last words, Luthor died completely. This arrogant enemy of Superman finally died at the hands of his own wisdom.

Clark burst into tears, and all the heroes felt sad. Although Luthor was not a good person, his actions during this period made them acknowledge this companion and comrade.
