I almost ruled the world

Martha pulled the knuckles of both hands vigorously, the already rough fingers were slightly white, showing the anxiety of the owner of the hands.

And when she finally saw Clark's figure floating in mid-air after unilaterally contacting Clark for several days, she rushed out of the house immediately.

Her eyes were a little red, and she looked at the strange son and the strange uniform in front of her, and asked very puzzled, "What happened?"

Clark looked down, on his mother.

"It's nothing." He said quickly, but perhaps realizing that he treated his mother too indifferently, he said again, "You were wrong at that time, she doesn't deserve a second chance."

Martha was dazed for a moment, and then quickly realized who Clark was referring to by "she".

She looked at Clark silently. Martha was a little disappointed by Brianna's later choice, but what she couldn't understand was why Clark had such a big change?

Clark even changed completely, from the upright and ideal "little boy" in her impression to an absolute tyrant in some populations.

At first, Martha thought she had misheard when the frightening word was associated with "Superman" - but recent events told her that it was true.

Even in a small Kansas town with a simple folk customs like theirs, the atmosphere gradually became tense, afraid to talk easily, and guarding each other in their hearts.

Their boy, her and Jonathan's boy, wasn't supposed to be like this.

She knew that something must have changed in Clark, an earth-shaking change, because she knew that Clark was a determined child and would not easily change her mind.

However, in my impression, there is only one "huge change"...

But can this incident make Clark like this?

Martha took a deep breath, and she looked at Clark seriously, "So, how is Brianna now? Is she okay?"

It took him a long time before he replied, "She's fine, and she's in a safe place."

Martha felt even more confused, she frowned, "Including mental state?"

Clark looked away from Martha again, not only avoiding but thinking about the answer to the question.

no answer.

"Listen, Clark." Martha gently grabbed his arm. "Everyone deserves a second chance, and so does Brianna, she just gave up and took it..."

"I know you must be in a very complicated mood right now, but it's not your fault, Clark. And is there really something wrong? Does Brianna have any difficulties? I think she's actually a good kid, just— —”

"Enough!" Clark interrupted Martha's question expressionlessly, which shocked her greatly.

His chest heaved, but he still tried to suppress the anger, disappointment and pain that never disappeared, "She is extremely evil, and she never said a word of truth."

"..." Martha pursed her dry lips, and looked at him with some distaste, "Including she said that she also wants to have a mother like me?"

Clark was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "This is probably true."

"Then she must be so lonely, Clark...she has something she longs for—"

"She said she loved me."

Martha was blank at first, and then looked at him incredulously, "Wait, what did you say?"

"But it turns out that this is just a means for her to break the seal and continue to rule the world, but what's ridiculous is that I firmly believe in it, and I also fell in love with her, willingly giving her everything she wants."

"...I, I don't understand." Martha's throat was a little blocked, and she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

Clark slowly closed his eyes, "I broke her seal and betrayed everyone who believed in me. And after getting everything she wanted, I lost all value to her."

Martha was a little overwhelmed for a moment, covering her mouth with her hands, recalling the intimacy between Briana and Clark when they were reunited last Christmas, and suddenly felt that everything was too ridiculous.

"I'm fine." Seeing that Martha hesitated to speak, and the moist eyes showed a mother's pain for her child, Clark chuckled, "On the contrary, I think I can't be better at this time."

"Nowadays, there is no crime and harm in the world, and everyone treats each other with courtesy, and pain will never happen again."

Clark pulled his arm away from Martha's, stepped back and looked at his mother, who clearly didn't agree with his thoughts.

He wanted to say something, but his face changed in an instant.

After realizing that something was wrong with Clark, Martha eagerly wanted to grab him and tell him that it was wrong—but his face became more and more gloomy, and he slowly floated into the air.

"Don't be like this, Clark!" Martha knew that after this separation, it might be a long time before the next meeting. After all, it only takes a few seconds for him to fly from one part of the world to the other, but in her When I want to see him, I don't show up for a few days.

"You should be their hero..."

But with Clark's rapid disappearance, the last two words also gradually dissipated in the air.

Brianna just stretched out her finger lightly, and the plate immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

She stared blankly at the messy ground for a while, then picked up the empty plate on the ground and handed it to the robot in front of her.

The robot did not express any opinion on such immoral behavior of wasting food, but just took the plate back in a dumb manner.

So she continued to wrap her arms around her knees, silently staring blankly.

She must have turned into a pig.

Her stomach began to feel uncomfortable after not eating, and the sour burning sensation tormented her, as if mocking her decision just now was as ridiculous as a joke.

But Brianna will not give up on things she has made up her mind to.

It's like after she decided to seduce Clark to fall in love with her so as to break the seal and rule the world, she has not wavered every minute and every second...

Probably not wavered.

She clutched her stomach, which was starting to scream in protest, and was thinking about how she would spend the next few days, when suddenly there was a slight shaking from the ground, which made her almost slide down the smooth wall.

Brianna was about to prop up her body and sit upright when the door opened, and a familiar figure stood against the light at the door.
