Chapter 14: Justice League: The Kingdom of Heaven Comes

When Superman said his real name and identity and his question at the moment in front of all the cameras, the United Nations hall fell into silence, and at the same time, the global audience who was watching the live broadcast at this time fell silent. After this silence lasted for half a minute, the first to make an uproar were the representatives of these member states and the media in the UN hall.

Even if he was mentally prepared, the face of the American representative at this time was not very good-looking, after working for so many years, he thought that he had seen all the winds and waves, but this time, he had to call him an expert, this is really unseen!

At this time, whether it is on YouTube, Facebook, INS, Weibo, Tieba, these social networking sites with the largest number of users, countless messages are flooded under the video of Superman Live Broadcast.

[Hype! This must be hype, Superman is dying?! ใ€‘

[Doesn't anyone pay attention to his true identity? Clark Joseph Kent, a front-line reporter for the Daily Planet, has just gotten married and heard that he has children. Is this kid superhuman or not? ใ€‘

[Is it different from what I focus on?] I have a friend who is engaged in biology, it stands to reason that Superman, as an alien, has such a strong force, it is difficult to combine with earthlings to produce offspring, there is reproductive isolation, how did this child be born? ใ€‘

[Support upstairs, but I'm more curious, Superman is so strong, I also have a friend who studies physics, according to Superman's past performance, well, he's curious, why didn't he get a human life, literally.] ใ€‘

"The angle of the iron is tricky, but shouldn't we be more concerned about why Superman said that he is going to die, and such a powerful god will also die?" โ€™

'Attention to the wording upstairs! He is a man, not a god, man will always die, and now we should be more concerned about how to save Superman! โ€˜

That's right! I also noticed that Superman just jumped off the plane, not down, he has no ability to fly! โ€˜

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

With the beginning of Superman's self-exposure of his identity, the topic heat of the entire Internet and reality has remained high, and it has been breaking through the topic heat. For the operators of the website, they are smiling from ear to ear at the moment, and for the IT workers who maintain the operation of the website, at this moment they just want to complain crazy about Superman who is still giving a speech, we have no opinion on your self-disclosure identity, so let the government say hello to us, this time I am really going to die suddenly at work!

For the IT workers who are frantically greeting themselves in front of the server at this time, Superman who has no super hearing is also happy to be quiet, he just stood there, facing the long guns and short cannons of the media of various countries, and stood in front of the world for the first time to tell his identity, and then he understood the meaning of the four words that people are terrible. Merely stating who they really are and the fact that they are going to die, from media workers to ambassadors to these countries, no one has a normal face.

"Superman, can you take responsibility for what you said!"

"Carl Ayer, Clark Joseph Kent, why did you choose this time to reveal your true identity?"

"So, what is the reason for the impending death, and what are you going to entrust to Earth!"

As media workers who speak for the country, these people also represent the face of the country to a certain extent. In their opinion, Superman's true identity does not need to be cared about, no one cares about the life and death of a small town boy from Kansas, they are concerned about the value of Superman, the strongest superhero in the world, and he is also from a powerful civilization in the universe, an orphan of this destroyed civilization.

Having crossed tens of millions of light years to come to Earth, the technological means of sending a superman from infancy to Earth alone cannot be cracked by the current earth technology. After the Apocalypse Star invasion war, with the help of the wreckage left behind by the Apocalypse, the earth has indeed improved a level of black technology, but that is only in certain fields, such as in the military industry, from destroying human beings on the surface dozens of times to upgrading to blowing up the earth altogether.

As for people's livelihood, there is still not much change, and God knows why the earth's technology tree can always be crooked in some strange places. No one can answer this question, they are now only focusing on Superman's self-disclosure of his identity this time, as well as the reason why his death is coming, and as the mainstream media of the country where they are located, they just want to use this identity to learn more about Superman, and see if they can get benefits for their country and let their country take a step forward.

It can be said that at this time, they are spies thrown out by the member states of the United Nations, and the representatives of the P5 can only sit there, say nothing, and watch how Superman responds, this is politics. In the White House, the current president was also there watching the live broadcast, frowning, although he wanted Superman to be elected as the next president, so that the country could still be in the first place in the future international competition, which was his selfishness as a national leader.

This selfishness is understandable, Superman was born in this country and has also accepted the fact that he is an American since he was a child. Although in terms of being a person, his adoptive parents taught him how to be a kind person with his own judgment, as a politician and national leader, he is a realist, and choosing Superman as his next president is, in the eyes of many, a completely self-lost move.

Because the construction of a country does not need to be led by an idealist like Superman, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and having Superman as president will only make some things difficult to deal with. But the current president also understands that Superman is an idealist, but Superman has the power to turn ideals into reality, and if Superman sits in his place, no matter what the final outcome is, at least when Superman defends his country, he will do something that he rejects but has to do.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Superman was going to die, and what he expected was a strong, perfect Superman to lead the country, not a superman who had lost his power and was about to die to lead the country, and the difference between the two was much greater.

"Damn, I'm being put on the table, no wonder he showed up with Batman that day." Sitting there, thinking back to the time not long ago, when Superman and Batman appeared in his office directly through the vacuum bullet train under the White House, and when he had a secret conversation with himself, Mr. President also rubbed his eyebrows.

I was still thinking about why Superman went on a honeymoon and came back, and he agreed so happily, daring to understand that there was something wrong with his body and was ready to experience life in another way. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that even Superman, an honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, followed Batman to fool himself, and next to Mr. President, was Amanda Waller, the first leader of the Tianyan Society, the Iron Lady who didn't mind soiling her hands for the sake of the country, and after noticing Mr. President's face, she also stepped forward.

"Mr. President, do you need me to interrupt this speech?" Amanda Waller, who had a black face and a black heart, suggested that there must be agents of the Eye Society in the army used to maintain order in the United Nations hall, and these agents did not mind making cameo appearances as terrorists.

"Calm down Amanda, I don't have a headache because Superman played with me, on the contrary, you have to maintain order." As soon as he saw Amanda make a downward cut, Mr. President couldn't help but be big, because he knew that Amanda would dare to do this, so he quickly stopped him.

"Why?"

"Because I also want to see what Superman has to say and do, even though idealists can't move an inch in this real society. But sometimes, it is the ethereal ideal that supports us to move forward, let's watch. โ€

In the live broadcast screen, Superman and Batman just stood there, listening to the constant questions of the media of these countries, and then looked at the five largest speakers of the United Nations, they are the main body of the United Nations, they did not speak, and the questions of the media in these countries basically have no meaning to answer. The representatives of the P5 also sat firmly in the Diaoyutai at this time, and only after the representatives of these member states asked about the media did the representative of the country with the largest population and the largest base of superpowers in the world speak.

"So Superman, before that, we only have one question to ask, why do you say that your death is coming, is it because of yourself, or is it because of some enemy, that enemy, is it related to the battle that happened in Canterlot a month ago, and that giant."

"You've got to the point, sir, and that's all I'm going to say." Someone threw bricks and stones, and Superman was able to continue his speech, "As we all know, I am from the depths of the universe, an orphan of a perished Kryptonian civilization, I am nothing more than a planetary refugee, my parents sent me here before the destruction of the planet. They do it for a reason. โ€

"Well, tell me why, Superman, no, I think I should call you Clark by now."

The question and answer with the representative of this country also quieted down the entire United Nations venue, and in the Titan Building, where the members of the Justice League were located, everyone was watching this speech about Superman, including Savage, who hid his base camp in the subspace dimension at this time, and he and his allies were also watching all this there.

"My planet is called Krypton, and my people can actually be called humans, because our body structure is no different from that of earthlings. The only difference is that the gravity environment of my planet is twenty times heavier than that of the Earth, and we who grow up in such an environment will have a little better physical fitness than ordinary people. But the biggest reason my parents sent me here is because my body, my cells, under the irradiation of the yellow sun, can absorb its radiation and grow me in all aspects, so this is what you see now as the superman, the so-called god of the world, to be honest, I hate this title. โ€

"So, in the beginning, your parents intended you to rule the Earth?"

The representative of the United States also spoke, and while saying this, he also glanced at the representative of the red country unhappily, and the red face was sung by him, and he could only sing with a white face.

"No, there is only one reason why they sent me to Earth, they don't want the tragedy that happened on my planet to happen on Earth again!"

As soon as the words came out, the whole venue was in an instant uproar, and it was also the major social networking sites and forums that were also boiling. Because Superman has already said that his planet is destroyed, and now he says that the meaning of being sent to Earth by his parents is to prevent Earth from becoming a second Krypton, which means that the end of Earth is counting down? Well, in the face of such a crisis, everyone is a logician.

"Watch your wording, Mr. Clark, you're now live on the globe!"

Once again, he was unhappy to be a white-faced representative of the United States, and he also played his role very well, questioning Superman there.

glanced at the representative of the United States, then Superman turned his head and looked at Batman behind him, and the unsmiling Batman only nodded to Superman, and in the Titan Building, Wally, who was old 52, looked at everything that happened in the video at this time, and also fell into confusion, because history has changed. None of this ever happened in the old universe in which we lived. Looking at Ke Wen, who was sitting on the sofa on the side, Wally also asked.

"That's what you're going to do? Damn, do you know what's going to happen! This could lead to a new round of reboots! โ€

"I know, but again, as Jay Garrick told you, the power he entrusted me with was to start a future that no longer repeats itself, and now is what I'm trying to do. I don't want the tragedy that happened to you to happen again in this new universe, so watch it, this chapter of the turbulent new era is now unfolding in front of you. โ€

At the venue, Superman was still standing there, and after the two P5 representatives made inquiries, he faced all the cameras aimed at him, talking about his former home planet, the truth told to him by his biological father.

"My former planet, Krypton, is a powerful civilization, and traces of colonial expansion are spread throughout the universe. It is very powerful, but at the same time, it is also fragile, because everyone is limited from birth to the future, the son of the farmer can only be the farmer, the descendants of the ruler, still the ruler, we have lost the right to freely choose our own future, and this is happening on our planet. The children of criminals will be treated coldly as they grow up, they will be labeled and treated unfairly.

Even if they try to prove themselves, there will always be people who will choose to fall into the trap, distort his personality, and in the end, become the person they least want to be. I can see, I can hear, all the abilities that the yellow sun has given me, so that every time I fly into space, overlooking the planet where I grew up, I can see that my planet is falling apart, fighting for resources, and each of us knows what is going on on this planet, but we don't make changes, we let it happen. โ€

"Then why don't you stop this, Clark."

At this time, there is a person who will ask why this can go on, and after glancing at the representative of the red country, Superman continued.

"Yes, I can stop all this, because I have the power, I can win all wars on behalf of the earth, and I can also use my own power to stop all wars, and build this planet in the way I want most, the planet that raised me. But then, as a friend of mine said to me, then why don't I put the earth in a bottle. Words like that sounded like I was a second-class supervillain. โ€

The self-deprecating statement made the very serious venue a little witty, and also made the people listening to Superman's narration on the screen and in the venue can't help but laugh, and for a while, the air is full of joy. At the same time, Superman's statement also invisibly narrowed the distance between him and people, and also made people who listened to Superman's words begin to think about the meaning of his words.

"Yes, this thought has always been in my head, I can't forget it, or put it away, especially when I have such great power, especially after I've seen too many tragedies, maybe one day, I'll do it, and by then, I'll be the kind of person I hate the most, but, this time, I have a chance to choose again, my death.

The war that took place a month ago, on the outskirts of Central City, was a war waged by Apocalypse against the Justice League that guards the Earth, and we won. But my body, every cell in my body, has been eroded by the power of the Apocalypse, my power comes from our sun, and every time I absorb a bit of sunlight, the power of the Apocalypse will erode me until it kills me completely.

My friends, Batman and Lex Luthor, two of the smartest men in the world, thought that in the end, there was only one solution that could be solved, and that was for me to give up superhuman strength and become Clark Kent. At first, it was very difficult for me to accept, because I lost my power, which meant that I couldn't protect the people I wanted to protect, the planet I wanted to protect, but in this way, wouldn't I become the guy who wanted to put the earth in a bottle?

So it dawned on me that maybe this was a chance God had given me to make a new choice, so that I could abandon those crazy thoughts and fight for my world as a human being. Of course, this doesn't mean that I will completely lose my superhuman power, it's just that this power can't be used as I want. I can still use it when the earth is in an unstoppable crisis, and it costs my life, but I won't regret it, because it's a fight for my planet! โ€

The words are shocking, and at this moment, everyone in the world, whether they like Superman or hate Superman, also understands one thing. Superman is no longer the all-powerful god in the world, every time there is a crisis on Earth in the future, Superman's life will be consumed, and when Superman dies completely, they will have no umbrella, and at that time, no one can protect them anymore.

The leaders of the countries who thought of this also gave up some of the little Jiujiu in their hearts at this time, and glanced at each other, and it was obvious that there were no fools who could sit in this position. They all understand that the reason why they can still intrigue with each other here now is because of the existence of the Justice League, and in the Justice League, the most powerful is Superman, and Superman is gone, and the combat power of the Justice League has to be reduced by half.

Will such a Justice League be able to win battles that they can't win as ordinary people? At this moment, an inexplicable sense of urgency surged from their hearts, as if they had seen the reappearance of the Apocalypse Star invasion war, only this time, there was no Superman, no Justice League.

"So, the point of your speech is to tell us that you can no longer protect Earth as a superman, Clark?"

"No, quite the opposite, it's a conversation. Before I made this decision, Batman had once advised me that I was an outsider and no matter what I did, I was an outsider. But on the contrary, I was born on Krypton, I grew up on Earth, I am a child of two worlds, my homeland has been destroyed, but this fragile and beautiful blue planet is my second home.

I can see that my second home is following in its footsteps, and I can see time reminding me that time is running out on Earth. I don't want to see greedy, selfish people ruling over us, no time to waste listening to the rhetoric of the ignorant, no time to waste fighting each other. There is a much more important battle than that, and that is the fight for our survival. I'm Clark Kent now, I can't do it alone, but I can help, with my life, and I believe that the people who are here at this moment, in front of the screen, hearing all this, can still save our world, but I need your support because, in the next U.S. presidential election, I will run as Clark Kent. โ€

After the last words were spoken, the whole venue was silent, I originally thought that Superman's self-disclosure of his identity and his imminent death was very exciting news, but I didn't expect that there would be even more exciting news. Superman announced at the United Nations that he was going to run for the next presidential election, and according to the laws of the United States, anyone who was born with American nationality can run for president, although Superman is adopted, but there is no problem with a birth certificate or something, from this point, he has the conditions to run for election.

No one was surprised by Superman's decision to run for president, on the contrary, the whole meeting was silent, and for a long time, the American representative applauded first, followed by the Chinese representative, the first and second representatives, and the whole meeting room applauded.

After saying what he wanted to say, Superman also left the podium and walked with Batman towards the outside of the United Nations building. At this time, the military personnel and media workers who were responsible for maintaining order also consciously made way for this hero who gave everything for the earth at this moment, until Superman and Batman walked towards the Batfighter in the middle of the square, and a reporter suddenly stopped the two of them.

"Mr. Clark, may I ask why Batman came with you?"

Hearing this, Superman and Batman turned their heads together and looked at the young reporter with the logo of the S mark surrounded by bats on his shirt, and the reporter looked at the best partner in the world at this time, looking like a fan.

"Because he's my best friend, what's your name, kid?"

"Parker, Peter Parker!"

"So, Peter, can you take a picture with him for me? I'm going to record this historic moment, yes, smile. Saying that, before Batman could react, Superman grabbed Batman, and at the same time stretched out his thumb and index finger to put it on Batman's mouth, and expanded it forcefully, forcing Batman to show a smile, for Superman, whose physical fitness is still twenty times that of humans at this time.

There was nothing wrong with that, especially before Batman didn't react. Then, the shutter sounded, recording this rare moment in history. Then Superman was under Batman's gaze, with his hands behind his back, and began whistling there.

And the young journalist Peter Parker, who took the photo, also continued to ask: "Actually, I'm curious, do you think this conversation was successful?" Can our world be changed? โ€

"Of course, I'm convinced."

"Why?"

"Because, I've never been alone, kid~"

In the sky, the popping channel opened, and the members of the Justice League also fell from the sky at this moment, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Eagle Woman, Green Arrow, Doctor Fate/Zatara, Aquaman, also at this moment, fell from the sky as Superman and Batman's backing.

This scene has also become the eternal memory of those who witnessed the beginning of the new era, and they called this day: The Kingdom of Heaven is Coming!
