"'What happened?' You may not realize, Mr. Al, that the answer to that question is quite wide-ranging."

The demon smiled and blinked.This action made Lucifer look extraordinarily innocent.

"Why did this parallel crossing happen, why did you come here, and whether you can go back...the answers to these three questions are all different."

"Let's talk about the one you are most concerned about first. Of course you can go back—but the conditions for 'going back' are quite harsh. Just as harsh as the conditions for you to be able to come here."

"I have described this kind of crossing to people before as like a hole in a fine fishing net. This hole can only pass through some small fish with a little strength... It is impossible for a strong person like you to pass through. .Because your appearance will only make it harder to restore the balance that has been destroyed."

"So, remember that little robot that appeared with you?—I'm afraid he has manipulated you to make you the 'exception'. What a genius, he probably didn't come here before he came here. I have collected a lot of information about the parallel world..."

"It's a pity that he was completely killed by Lucas."

Lucifer was still smiling.But Karl's face was gloomy because of today's reality.The gloomy Superman is actually quite cute.This brought a genuine smile to the demon's eyes.

Lucifer also didn't know if the poor little Kryptonian could return to his own parallel universe.Considering that Hernan has almost no knowledge in this area, and the relationship with the government is very tense... Lucifer can't help but feel a little sympathetic to Kal-El.

However, but.The part of the truth that Lucifer can tell has basically been finished.He didn't intend and couldn't tell the two of them the truth he had guessed.

The smile in the devil's eyes was like a warm candle.This caught the attention of a superman from another world, and made Carl feel a little hopeful in his heart.Lucifer did not disappoint him, and the next words seemed to prove that he still had hope of returning home:

"But of course. At the end of the day it's because of that 'hole'. So if you guys can fix the root of the problem, I think it's going to go away."

"As for the source of this hole... According to my guess, I tend to think that someone broke the balance between parallel universes and did something that shouldn't be done. And our world is probably quite close to this universe except for the problem... So as long as you can catch more outsiders in the future, you will be able to find out which universe is wrong if you think about it."

These words lifted Kal-El's spirits.But Hernan frowned slightly.He is considered a person who knows Lucifer quite well.That's why I instinctively felt a burst of anxiety for no reason.Hernan couldn't tell, but he just felt like something was wrong.

Superman in black looked at the demon.The gray-blue and red eyes briefly touched... Hernan didn't see anything unusual.Wanting to use this to expose the lies of the Demon King is nothing short of wishful thinking.

But he struggled for a while and still took the initiative to speak out.This time Hernan didn't look away, and kept staring at Lucifer:

"What you said is quite light. At present, we only have 3... no, 4 samples. If there is anything in common between them, it may just be that they all have a certain degree of extraordinaryness."

"Ordinary people may seek help from the police after experiencing this kind of thing. But these ability users?... This is not a joke. This group of guys may prefer to hide in the crowd directly. It would be better if it is a hero similar to this guy , if it is a criminal..."

What Hernan said was actually quite reasonable.This made Lucifer tangled for a moment, and he hesitated to reveal some other clues.

The devil knew quite well that if there was only fog in front of him, then Hernan might really ask Lex Luthor and other government scientists to help with his research... and he didn't want this to happen.

Just as Lucifer was about to open his mouth to add, Karl-Eir's slightly puzzled voice sounded a step ahead of him:

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Criminals won't take the initiative to approach us... But why are there 4 people? Me, that robot, Mudface... there are other people besides that?"

When Karl asked the question, he was still thinking about how to find out those outsiders who were likely to have mixed into the crowd, but after Hernan gave the answer casually—Superman's focus shifted.

"I killed him."

The son of Zod frowned and said as a matter of course.The reason Hernan frowned was certainly not because he had killed that bastard, he frowned only because of the current enigmatic situation.

It's different from Kar-El who knows that there are no loopholes in his world.Superman is well aware that the situation ahead will only get worse.

——But it surprised me not long after his debut...Kal-El, who is currently only forced to kill General Zod.

"You killed him?" The Son of Krypton opened his eyes wide.He repeated it in disbelief. "Why? What happened, why did you-"

"Because he created a killing in the streets, he murdered a woman in broad daylight."

Hernan explained to Karl impatiently.Now he also regrets killing the first parallel guest like this, but he still doesn't understand why the other self is asking such a question.

After the Superman in black finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Karl... Then Hernan was shocked by the confused and angry eyes of the other party.

……what?

He was confused for a moment.Because Karl gave him an answer in the next moment.

"You killed him—you—"

"Have you always treated criminals this way?"

Kar-El looked at Hernan in shock.His blue eyes were full of puzzlement and shock, in addition to a little nameless fear and disappointment.Only then did he understand why Kirk Langstone had told him that Muddy Face's prison was newly built... because it was likely that Hernan had never held back before that!

This wasn't the first time he'd found himself at odds with the Superman's way of dealing with problems, but it was the first time Carl had found it overwhelming.Karl, who once broke Zod's neck with his own hands, thinks he understands the pain better than anyone-the pain of taking a life with his own hands.

This had caused him incomparable pain and incomparable loss... But for Hernan, was this kind of behavior commonplace? !

The pressure and anger accumulated over the past few days erupted together, and Karl glared at Hernan more forcefully than ever before.There was a strong sense of disappointment in his words, and fear was wrapped in disappointment.

"Why, you don't have to do this, you have a choice not to do this! You have the power not to choose this way."

He didn't understand why Hernan was such a person, and he was even more afraid of becoming a hero like Hernan.

These accusatory words successfully stimulated the rather proud Hernan.He has been used to living a life where no one questioned him, and he was the only one who respected himself. Hernan sneered almost instinctively, and he immediately retorted:

"'Choice'? Do the victims have a choice? When they scream helplessly—can anyone but me get them out of their misery? I don't understand what you're talking about, Al."

"If you're accusing me of killing an outsider with important information, that's fine - but if you're questioning my way of doing things... then you're very disappointing, Super· people."

"Give the butchers who have broken the rules and wandered outside of humanity a second chance - I can't understand what you're talking about."

Lucifer, who was going to give more clues, shrank his shoulders.

Of course he wasn't frightened by the quarrel between the two.Lucifer just smelled uneasiness, anger, doubt and bewilderment in the air.

...It's such a fascinating smell, especially when it's another Superman who's caught up in the mood.

The demon raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously.He took the initiative to reduce his presence for this unexpected joy.Let these two Kryptonians who have built up a lot of pressure feel free to take it out on each other.

Karl El clenched his fists unconsciously after hearing Hernan's speech.In fact, at this time, he still doesn't know how "similar" he is to Hernan... They both have a pair of parents who hope that he can live with hidden powers, and they both have a journey of exploring the world in confusion.

But in the final analysis, their origins and classes are different.And Hernan met Lucas and Lucifer during the journey; Carl stumbled to find the afterimage of his biological father, Jo-El.

In the end they see a different world.

"I'm not asking you to be a saint, and I'm not trying to accuse you of anything... But we're not judges, and we don't really represent justice. We're not gods, Hellner—we're just wimpy powers , People who want to see a better world."

Kal-El—or rather, Clark Kent stared at another 'self' in front of him.There was a slight tremor in his voice... It might be hard for Carl to admit it, but he did think Hernan was different.

They are compatriots, they are partners.They have the blood of the same planet.Lucas' killing of Brainiac didn't make Karl feel strongly unacceptable...but it still made him feel deeply terrified to learn that Hernan would execute criminals at will.

Yes... it's fear.

——Clark is very clear.This man who grew up in the American countryside is quite clear... Whether he or Hernan, they have never been bound by anything.

The only thing that can restrain them... is their own moral bottom line.

But in such a complicated situation, Hernan, his comrade-in-arms and companion, relaxed his bottom line to such a degree.

Karl instinctively wanted to 'correct' all this.He can't do anything about this mysterious and weird 'travel', but maybe he can change something else.

——This is indeed something that only he can say.

"We should be the guardians, Hernan. We must use our power more carefully so as not to be swallowed by this talent."

"I'm sure you should know too—if—"

"If we choose the evil way...the consequences will be unimaginable."

Carl's eyes were unparalleled and sincere.He doesn't want to stand on the moral high ground and accuse anyone, he just finds it difficult to let another self take a detour.

The two Kryptonians looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room was enough to suffocate anyone.A superman challenges the authority of another superman, while the devil watches the show quietly.

……

…………

………………

But that didn't make another participant nervous.After all—he wasn't in that nightclub where the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

A pair of light brown eyes, illuminated by the screen, blinked at this.The brown-haired man sitting in front of the computer with his chest folded turned his seat with his feet, and squeezed his left elbow.

That's a pretty honest, pretty, and 'heroic' piece of exhortation...and it's funny.

More and more unexpected things happened.Men don't even know whether to be thankful or not.

"Wow,"

"Is this an alien version of Captain America?"

Iron Man in the safe house teased himself, with a gentle smile on his tired eyes.

The mortal hero gazes at the two supermen on the screen.And he...was watched by another gaze.
