Hero, you have crossed [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Lucas knew he was a monster.

'Knowing I'm a monster' isn't that difficult.When he drew that iron sword, strangled someone by the neck in anger, looked her in the eyes until she died...Lucas wasn't even sentimental or frightened at the time.It was clear to him then.

He is a monster.A beast that has lost its human morality.

This cannot be changed by the soul that once belonged to ordinary human beings.Even if he is a time traveler, he can't change the unique physiological structure brought about by his brand new DNA.His blood comes from tyrants, fighters, and gangsters.He is a born cold-blooded, a hybrid of sin and sin.

...but Hernan changed him.Hernan accepted him.The Kryptonian, who was also not human, but also a monster, embraced him, convinced that it wasn't his fault.Two humanoids who weren't human completed their souls that day, convinced that it wasn't so bad.

Then Hernan became Superman. 'Superman' - that's a very scary word.It should represent redemption and justice, and should bear the life and death of thousands of people who have nothing to do with them.

Lucas didn't think that was a good match for Hernan.But since his brother still chose this difficult path, Lucas would only support him to the end.

For a long time, Lucas thought that Hernan was so different just because he was Hernan.

...But now, at the moment when he grabbed Karl-El's arm regardless of his identity.The blond young man suddenly realized—perhaps the initial attraction of Hernan to him was that Lucas knew that he might be a Superman in the future.

"what happened to you?"

After all, he still likes heroes.

Even if he is a monster, he still worships those fools who are willing to give everything for the light.

"...Are you angry with Hernan?"

Other than that Lucas couldn't find any reason.He wasn't even surprised that Kal-El showed up at Lucifer's night.It was too much like what Hernan could do.He's too fond of showing off old friends to new ones.

"He's an idiot, and I apologize for being rude to you. What's the matter, Mr. Al?"

Kar-El, who was not used to being touched by others, subconsciously moved his arms.But the person holding him remained unmoved.Lucas Falcone was also so strong that he didn't even give Superman a chance to say 'I'm fine'.

After all, Karl's badness has indeed been written on his face.It was even difficult for Lucas to describe the expression and eyes of the other party - that kind of depression and confusion was really not worthy of Superman.That made even Lucas uneasy.

"……How are you?"

Lucas ignored the other side's evasive eyes, and he asked again with concern.

This was actually quite abrupt, considering his still icy attitude after saving them...Lucas at this time was so warm and friendly that it was inexplicable.

His questioning tone was as if the Kryptonian in front of him was just a poor child in need of rescue, not a monster that could hold up the earth.

But it did spark Carl's desire to confide.But Superman is not so low that he forgets that Lucas is Hernan's best friend:

"...Thank you for your concern, thank you so much. Just call me Carl." Superman paused. "I can't say I'm fine, but there's nothing wrong with it... You don't have to apologize, he didn't offend me. Quite the contrary, I offended him."

The otherworldly Superman even smiled.Superman, who has no friends, no comrades-in-arms, and no Justice League of his own, actually cherishes the kindness of others.Kal-El summoned up the courage to look at Lucas with his slightly melancholy blue eyes:

"It's me who should apologize. This is his world... no offense, but I really can't accept his style of behavior. I think maybe we can work together in a different way. I'm still on call, but-"

But the golden beast in front of him obviously didn't agree with his statement.Lucas interrupted his explanation almost rudely:

"---why not--"

Lucas, who confirmed his premonition, tightened Carl's wrist.Superman felt a rare pain.

But this made Carl even more embarrassed.

He knew that his behavior itself was not very rational.But—but it was really hard for Carl to control his emotions.When Hernan finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had to flee quickly.

right. 'get away'.

This was something he had completely abandoned after he became Superman...but now this weakness that belongs to mortals found him again.And the reason that made him want to escape—is another Superman's perfectly self-consistent theory of killing.

Karl wasn't convinced by Hernan.Carl just realized.

He realizes that Hernan has more cards and more 'supporters' than he does... in short.He is forced to realize that Hernan actually has more love than him.

...it's like a bad joke.This superman who kills like hemp, hates evil like a vengeful, and only respects himself... is more convinced than he is that he is doing the right thing.

"It's nothing, Lucas-" Carl realized that he called the other person's first name instead of his last name as soon as he opened his mouth.But Lucas didn't care. "I think it's better this way. If we continue to act together, there's bound to be a lot of friction. I think—"

"No, no—that's not the point."

Lucas, who was always pinching Superman's wrist, frowned in disgust.But when he saw Karl-Eir's blue eyes full of emotions again, the blond youth quickly changed his tone:

"I don't know what you guys were talking about - but your emotions are polarized, aren't you?"

"I have to tell you, this is exactly one of Lucifer's abilities! He can mobilize your emotions without even talking, and it is absolutely impossible for him to use this power to appease you... Besides, you have cooperated well before. ?"

Lucas's empty hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.He realized that he was really flustered at this moment—for no reason, like the panic when facing angry Alberto.

He looked at Kar-El and smiled helplessly.Immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing.This made Lucas' face a little embarrassed.He realized that the previous pleasant cooperation must be because Superman tolerated Hernan's bad temper.

But this does not prevent him from continuing to ramble:

"I... I don't think it's a good idea to leave you alone in this world. There are a lot of people who are interested in Kryptonians lurking here on the government and magic side, and you don't know anything about it... Although I don't know Why did you make such a fuss?"

"But I know that there must be factors that Hernan is unwilling to give in and admit his mistakes."

"...So why is it so black and white? Maybe you are embarrassed to make conditions with him, so let me tell him for you-you don't have to be so determined, I don't want you to go out and become a target."

Lucas' words surprised Carl.

This handsome Kryptonian who looked like an ancient Greek god finally relaxed his body, and no longer resisted Lucas's hand holding him so much.Carl couldn't even believe it—he couldn't believe that Lucas was willing to say such a thing.

In this way... a compromise was made, and it was for his consideration.

But Superman's first reaction was still to resist.But the smile on his face was indeed much brighter.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lucas. I can feel your genuine kindness."

"...But it doesn't need to be like this. I don't want to change Hernan's mind. We have huge differences on issues of principle. It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. So he doesn't need to correct at all... Although I still wish he didn't execute the perpetrators in the first place. But you don't have to…"

It was as if something exploded at this moment.Lucas was having a headache...he was a little more sober now, realizing how funny he was.And how preposterous the words just now were.This made his pale cheeks flush slightly...but he still didn't want to give up.

If Kal-El had initially been held back because he didn't want to let go of the downhearted Superman—one of his childhood idols—now he couldn't let him go.

Maybe Kal-El's idea has a bigger picture.After all, it would be foolish to change someone rashly without knowing the details... But Lucas was sure he could convince Hernan.And he also knew that Hernan also didn't want Karl El to leave sadly.

——It is evidence that the other party has not rushed out of the room to scold him.

"I think you're right."

Lucas let go of Superman's hand gently.But still, he turned his side to block the other party's way.Falcone, who had always been indifferent, had a rare serious face, and unconsciously increased his charisma output.

"No one can change Hernan's mind, except himself. But your appeal is quite reasonable, and there is no need for him to refuse." Lucas unconsciously sped up his speech.

"The next traversers may have independent new information. Only by keeping them alive can we effectively obtain information."

"Why don't you say that? - You don't have to be so unconfident, although Hernan's arrogance can give people the illusion that he is right...but you can negotiate with him like this."

Superman froze.He instinctively wanted to refute that he was not unconfident.But Lucas didn't give him a chance to interject at all:

"If you are non-killing, shouldn't you try to influence him during this period? He is definitely not willing to show it, but I know he is actually quite interested in you. You-"

"You should mean something different to each other."

"...this kind of opportunity is never going to happen again. I understand how you feel, I totally understand that you will feel anxious and empty, after all, this is not your home, you don't really belong here. But. But you two, "

Having said that, Lukaska hesitated a bit.After hesitating for less than 0.3 seconds, he decided to tell the truth:

"You are of the same race, heroes, and brothers... I sincerely don't want you to miss this opportunity. I'm afraid this kind of opportunity to meet another self will never come again."

"I know the feeling - you're all alone. We've always had only ourselves to rely on."

"But right now, maybe you don't quite hit it off, and you both don't think each other is perfect ... but you've met someone who's in a similar situation to you. I know that feeling—so I don't want you to miss it."

Lucifer, who was eavesdropping in the room, laughed again.And this time he really applauded.

There was no smile in the red eyes of the lord of hell, his eyes were like thousands of wriggling snakes, which made people fearful.The malice was fleeting, as if it had never been there.

And Hernan leaned against the wall expressionlessly.As a favored person, his performance was too indifferent... But how should I put it, Lucifer somehow understood the other party's mood.

Lucas doesn't like to delve into anything, and most of the time he doesn't even use his brain... It seems that 75% of his emotions are anger and violence; and the remaining 25% are also extremely easy to arouse the former.

He was a born tyrant, warrior, and liar.Roughness is already his thinnest layer of camouflage... When he really wants to convince someone, he will grasp the other person's soft underbelly and weakness like a devil.

Yeah - as it is now.

Lucas fully grasped Superman's weakness.

Kal-El was indeed moved.

He had been a rather lonely child.He has no peers, no friends; when he was a little older, he lost his father and concealed his extraordinaryness.And the tragedy that followed was even more indescribable.The Sons of Krypton were forced to destroy their hopes of revitalizing Krypton and were forced to kill their own kind...

Yes.Just like what Lucas said... Facing Hernan, who has the face of Zod, and has supporters and companions... Karl is actually uncomfortable and not confident.

How could he have guessed that he was the more 'normal' Superman? —Is he half as comfortable as Hernan?

That's why he wanted to escape.He didn't want to and didn't dare to be changed by Hernan.Karl knew their differences all too well.

He did not witness the darkness of many human natures like the other party, but Hernan never personally killed a few of his own race.

And Lucas keenly sensed Karl's wavering.He really knows Kryptonians all too well.Maybe he knows more about Earthlings than he does.Sincere advice from this demon-bred golden beast to strike while the iron is hot:

"You can go to Kirk first and ask him to contact Wonder Woman Becca. If there are no more answers on the magic side, you can also ask the wise men in the universe with her."

"I'd like to convince Hernan for you to give up killing those criminals—and I'm 100% sure he will."

"...I don't want to see you guys have such a stiff fight. There will be many different opinions between people, friends and friends...but you,"

"You should be different."

"Carl, you must be different to Hernan."

"Believe me."
