Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

In the center of the sun, a long time has passed since Luthor's shadow of consciousness appeared next to Clark's body.

No one came to stop him, no high and mighty cosmic god came out to say that Clark was part of his plan, and no other surviving Kryptonians came to help out of fellowship.

Even the yellow-robed bald wizard from Earth did not come here to stop Luther's actions.

He no longer had any obstacles, and the powerful body in front of him, which even had more potential than the Superman in his own world, was at his fingertips.

However, Luther was never able to take the last step.

He couldn't take over Clark's body.

Because, as the dominant consciousness at this time, Luthor can see Clark's past memories.

The ordinary daily life with his family could not impress him, and he had already seen the flawless character of Superman in other Supermen.

What he saw was in the ruins of the metropolis, in the apocalypse.

A figure who mourns for him alone, Lex Luthor.

He was the figure who had clearly received his own reminder and could have quietly waited for the time travel, but still fought against the powerful Superman for the world that Luthor loved.

What drove Clark, who had not yet firmly established his Superman's will, to stand bravely against Superman?

Is it just because of his Kryptonian identity?

At this time, Luthor saw the answer in Clark's heart. The reason why Clark fought desperately to stand against Superman and protect the last spark of mankind was because of him, Luthor.

Because Luthor always showed his belonging to the Earth and humanity when interacting with Clark, so after his death, Clark would put on the armor without hesitation and fight Superman.

That's all to protect the earth and humanity that Luther cherishes.

He may be an evil man, a villain who caused a lot of destruction and loss, but as a human supremacist, Luthor must value both humans and the earth.

Who would have thought that a man like Luther’s only friend would be an alien?

"Luther, Luther, how could you become like this just because of a lonely tombstone and a mourning?"

Luthor's shadow shook his head, then his eyes became firm, and his consciousness directly merged into Clark's body.

...

The space of consciousness was completely dark because Clark himself had fallen into a deep sleep in order to fully stimulate the body's instincts to absorb solar energy.

And in this dark space, Luther kept searching, and finally found the figure emitting a faint white light.

That's Clark.

Clark curled up into a ball, suspended above the consciousness space, and fell into a deep sleep.

Because it was a space of consciousness, even though Luthor was just an ordinary person, he could fly easily. He slowly flew in front of Clark and raised his fist.

"In this way, I will create a...perfect superman! The world will also be changed!"

As he spoke, Luthor swung his fist down heavily, hitting Clark's consciousness on the forehead.

But the next moment, it was not Clark's consciousness that was shattered.

But Luther's consciousness.

His consciousness began to break apart from his fist, and the personality contained within it was shattered, leaving only pure memories that slowly merged with Clark.

And the original ferocity on Luther's face was gone, and instead there was a hint of relief.

He, Luther, is a pure human being, a human being with flesh and blood.

If the Superman in front of him was the guy in his own world who had always been at odds with him, then he would not hesitate at all even if it was just for a temporary victory.

But unfortunately, the Superman in front of him is not that guy, but a friend who treats him sincerely, is willing to mourn his death, and is willing to fight for his ideas with his life.

He is a loser and cannot possess the body of his friend.

If you can't become Superman, then become one with Superman.

My despicable personality should not be left to pollute Superman's noble character. In this case, I should tell this young Superman my most precious things, the knowledge and experience I have mastered.

He will no longer be the naive Superman, but a Superman who possesses the wisdom of the smartest human being and is also extremely powerful.

Even though he most likely would not be able to see the future, Luther was filled with pride whenever he thought of such a perfect existence and that he had contributed to it.

"Boy, you have to work hard. Don't let down the wisdom and memory I gave you. You will definitely become the most powerful superman in the universe."

As he spoke, Luthor's consciousness completely shattered, and the remaining incomplete personality no longer had the power to stay in Clark's body, and was instinctively expelled. Appearing in the center of the sun.

The last remaining consciousness belonging to Luther has lost the ability to think and began to float in the universe.

Perhaps, the end that awaits Luther will be complete annihilation, from the total disappearance of consciousness to personality.

In the center of the sun, Clark was still sleeping, but if someone could observe carefully, they would find that at this moment, in the corners of Clark's eyes, crystal tears were constantly being evaporated by the high temperature of the sun.

Suddenly, Clark opened his eyes, and the emotional fluctuations from the depths of his heart woke him up from his sleep.

While truly and completely receiving Luther's memories, he also knew Luther's ending.

There was no time to grieve for too long over Luthor's ending. Clark knew that there were more serious problems waiting for him when he became stronger, so after another moment of mourning, he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that the speed at which the body absorbs solar energy becomes more and more greedy. Luther's influence still exists after all.

.....

Inside the college.

After the encounter with Qin, the atmosphere in the entire academy became stagnant.

Hank just went to the White House to submit his resignation to the President of the United States, and when he came back he found that his old friend had completely turned into a vegetable.

That's right, Charles was almost a vegetable.

Although Emma and Scott's final counterattack saved Charles' life, the damage that had been caused would not disappear.

The elderly Charles could not bear such injuries, and the head-on mental confrontation with Phoenix also damaged his brain.

Even if I don't die, maybe I will have to spend the rest of my life in bed.

Now that Charles is almost lost, this is a huge blow to the college, which is almost entirely made up of Charles' students.

They even didn't know whether they should continue to operate the college.
