A lot of things are not about right or wrong, just about position. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Do you know what the biggest gap between man and God is?" Dave tilted his head and looked at Superman who was hanging in the air by tentacles, and asked slowly.
"What do you want to say? Watchman, in addition to the physical torture, do you want to torture me mentally? If you think I'm as vulnerable as you are, you're wrong! I won't give in, Watchman! Superman glared at Dave with an angry face and frowning features, almost certain that he would tear Dave apart once he got out of the situation and regained his strength.
Although Superman is a good old man, he is understandably angry like this! In the past few days, Dave has been cutting off a small piece of flesh from his body every moment, and then using a small pipe to give him some light to prompt him to recover quickly, once he has stored enough strength to resist, Dave will take out the kryptonite, weaken him through the radiation of the kryptonite, and tie him up again.
For five days in a row, every minute and every second, Superman was experiencing Ling Chi's pain, how could he not be angry, how could he not want to teach Dave a hard lesson.
However, Dave wasn't going to let Superman get his wish. Three hundred meters underground, a huge cavity carved out of the body of the Old God, separated by a metal wall three meters thick - this wall is not designed to ward off Superman, but to absorb all the radiation, inside the wall, the Old God's tentacles are dense, and he has mastered kryptonite, which can be restrained at any time.
Without enough sunlight and without kryptonite, Superman would be as weak as a mortal.
Superman can't escape, and if Dave's plan hadn't been overturned, Superman would have been trapped underground forever and become the material for Cthun's creation of the Ultra Faceling.
"I know, you hate me." Dave said lightly, "You want to kill me, this hatred gives you courage, gives you purpose, you think, one day, you will break free from this bondage, and then kill me, and give this world a true dawn of justice." From this point of view, although you have superhuman strength, you are only a mortal after all. ”
Dave opened his arms, "Your heart is mortal, so you will be afraid, you will be afraid, you will be angry, you will regret the loss, you will rejoice in the gain, and you will change yourself because of the eyes of others." You have weaknesses, so you'll never understand why I'm doing this. ”
"Don't continue to make excuses for your hypocrisy, Watcher, you're nothing more than a coward, a guy ruined by a clown!" Superman roared, "If you have the ability, you will kill me, and even if you continue to torture me, I will not obey you." ”
"You think it's torture? Oh, Superman, you can't help but think too highly of yourself, and I didn't deliberately torture you, because there was no need. Forget it, I was going to show you this thing today......" Dave took a remote control from the tentacle on the side.
"What, is this some new torture prop?" Superman said disdainfully.
"In a sense, it might be able to torture your heart." Dave beckoned, and the next moment, more than 20 screens appeared from the body of the old god, and Dave pressed the button on the remote control.
Suddenly the news from all over the world began to play on those screens.
"The Watchmen Alliance Announces the Arrival of Endless Clean Energy ......"
"The future is now on a bright path, and humanity no longer has to worry about being unsatisfied, about the depletion of energy on the planet......"
"The Watchmen Alliance will build bases for Superhuman Energy around the world, and they say they want to thank Superman for his contributions."
"Let's thank Superman, thanks to the Wardens Alliance, recently, they have shown us with a series of actions that they are working hard and that they are making this world a better place......"
"At ten o'clock this morning, I was invited to visit a superhuman energy base, and I confirmed with my eyes that it was not an illusion, but a real completely clean energy, an endless source of energy, and we will have a happy future."
"Did you see that? Superman. Dave asked, "Your power brings true well-being to this world." Forget your childish comic book heroism! Did he achieve anything? Is there anything accomplished other than running around like a firefighter to satisfy your selfish desire to gain gratitude? ”
"This ...... It's ......" Superman momentarily forgot about the pain and anger and looked in amazement at the images flashing on these screens.
"Yes, Superman, it's your credit, we have copied an infinite number of Ultra-Faceless Beings through your flesh, who are equally able to absorb sunlight efficiently and thus convert stored energy, and through the help of these Ultra-Facelesss, humanity has access to a near-infinite supply of clean energy. According to my original assumption, you don't need to suffer like this, because we only wanted to directly replicate the Faceless with your abilities through your genes, but we failed. ”
Dave paused, continuing his "explanation":
"The cellular structure of your Kryptonian is very strange and difficult for the Old Gods to fully understand, but it is still possible to copy it according to the gourd drawing, we have tried, using a small piece of your flesh and the genetic modification technology of the Old Gods to create a new Super Faceless One that will have the abilities you have, and for the first time, we succeeded. Next, we tried to use a portion of the super-faceling's flesh to make a new super-faceling, but this attempt was met with incomprehensible obstacles, and we had no choice but to use the flesh of you, the superhuman mother, to continue the replication. Look at the world, Superman, it's getting better because of our efforts. ”
Dave spread his arms, and behind him was an ever-changing picture.
"Now, can you understand me? Superman, it is cruel to you that I have trapped you here, taking your flesh day after day, but this is a necessary sacrifice for the sake of a great and peaceful world, and do you not want your children to live in such a peaceful, beautiful, materially abundant world? ”
"Hmph, you trapped me here, where am I going to find my children?" Superman smiled bitterly, he looked at those pictures on TV, looked at those happy smiling faces, for some reason, a feeling of worthiness also arose, perhaps, it is not bad to make such a contribution to this world, for heroes, isn't the source of happiness to help others?
"The initial ultra-faceless ones have been cultivated, and although their lifespans are still very short, they don't need your help for the time being, and the reason why I trapped you here is because our problems have not been solved."
"What's the problem?" Superman asked rhetorically.
"I ask you, where is the gap between man and God?"
Dave repeated the question he had asked at the beginning, with great seriousness.
"You can choose to give me your answers, or you can choose to listen to my answers!"
(I don't know how many people haven't understood it, this is the future that Professor X showed Dave, and why does Professor X have Dave's first-person perspective on the future?) )
