"The court of owls that secretly rule Gotham, using the magical metal amber to create immortal 'talons' as their minions."

David's eyes flashed.

However, although Amber can bring people back to life, increase their strength and agility, and have the ability to die, it is too slow to take effect.

It is necessary to plant amber gold into the body, and fuse the amber gold and blood with the cells year after year, during which the corpse is frozen until the person can be resurrected.

"The process is too slow, and this can be seen as a last resort.

Another way - the pool of Lazarus! ”

He mentioned Avery who was pale and unconscious, and planned to go back to the town first, to see his father's situation first, otherwise he would not be at ease.

"I'll have to go back to Gotham later, but at full speed, it won't take me more than a few minutes to go back and forth between the two places."

For the average person, the two cities are a few hours away by car, and for him it is not much further than going to the supermarket in the town.

Bang bang bang!

Leaving the hotel, David broke through the sonic boom all the way, faster than the fastest reconnaissance fighter on earth, and arrived at the town hospital in less than three minutes.

Throwing people on the rooftop, he found his father's hospital room.

Squeak.

"David."

The door of the ward was opened, and when I saw my youngest son, who had not seen her for a few days, come back, holding her husband's rough hand, and guarding her husband's mother, Martha, who was guarding her husband with tears in the corners of her eyes, couldn't control her tears, and her voice trembled and called.

"Mother."

The father, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, David frowned bitterly and hugged his mother.

The father, who has always been optimistic and stubborn, and his body is as strong as a cow, lying on the hospital bed, his lips are white, and his high fever is blurred, which makes people feel distressed.

"Son, did I tell you about the first time I met your father?"

The hospital has just detected that Jonathan has been poisoned by an unknown poison, and his body is being destroyed, and it is expected that his life may be in danger within a day.

Martha stroked her husband's face with teary eyes and said sadly.

"He was taking a finance class at Metropolitan University, and he was sitting by the fountain, dressed in a denim suit, munching on an apple.

I borrowed notes from him, and he didn't know it, but I actually took notes. ”

"It was the first time we met, and I thought about entering the marriage hall with him, and I never thought about what the last time we met......"

"It's going to be fine, Mom.

I already have a cure for Dad! ”

Listening to his mother's heart-wrenching memories of the past, David gently pressed his mother's shoulder and couldn't help but interrupt.

He looked back at Clark, his eyes revealing doubts, didn't he ask you to appease Mom, why is Mom still so sad?

Kayla was also in the room, and Clark had a low expression of helplessness on her face.

The younger brother didn't tell him anything, he just said that there was a way, but he couldn't say anything, and it was actually hard to believe.

"Is there really a way? Son. ”

Wiping away her tears weakly, Martha looked back and her voice trembled.

"There is a spring in the world called the Pool of Lazarus, which produces water that heals wounds, retains youth, and even brings the dead back to life."

In the room, David looked at his father on the hospital bed and said in a deep voice.

[Doubt from Kayla +0.11, Joy +0.10......]

Seeing Kayla with joy after he told him the way to save her, not nervous or otherwise, it seemed that the poison was not her, and he was suspicious that he had wronged her, Davy quietly flashed a thought in his heart.

"Lazarus? I remember that it was not a character from the Gospel of John, who was critically ill and died, but was resurrected through Jesus' prayer. ”

Clark opened his mouth when he heard his brother's exaggerated array of effects of the spring, feeling a little fantastical.

Wasn't it really made up by my brother to comfort them?

The sad Martha was also a little skeptical.

"There are many magical things in this world that are beyond human common sense, but they are not unreal."

David hinted that he believed his mother in the house, as well as Clark and Kayla, understood what he meant.

"Someone discovered its healing power to bring the dead back to life, so they named it the pool of Lazarus."

However, there is one thing he didn't say, the spring water of LS Roadside Pond has side effects.

If used in excess, it can deepen the dark side of people.

"So you have to find the spring water before the toxin causes great harm to the body, or at least before my father dies."

A hint of coldness crossed David's eyes.

The use of spring water to bring the dead back to life will definitely be affected, but a little use of it to remove toxins from the body is no problem.

"Kayla, thank you this time."

Looking at Kayla, who rushed to the hospital as soon as she learned of Jonathan's accident to help investigate the cause, David was silent and said.

"Please stay here with my mother, Clark and I will be back before dark."

Although she still doesn't agree with any prophecies, Kayla does want to help her family this time.

"Clark, come with me."

With that, he grabbed Clark and grabbed Avery from the rooftop and left.

Leaving the hospital, the fighting came to the suburban power plant.

"It's probably going to take your speed to save my father this time."

The Pool of Lazarus is not in this country.

"With my speed?"

The scene was blurry in front of him, and Clark, who was taken to the power plant, shook his head uncomfortably.

Not to mention speed, he couldn't do anything before, it was his younger brother who found a way to save his father, not to mention that he wanted to use his speed, so that he was willing to give up his ability permanently.

"What's wrong with him?"

As soon as he turned his head to see Avery who was thrown on the ground and was pale and unconscious, he couldn't help but wonder if his brother had beaten people into a vegetative state again.

"The meteorite ring has been around for a long time, and I passed out."

Having Clark hold Avery in his hand, David directly ripped off a cable and stuffed it into Clark's hand.

Crackling!

Clark was crouching down to check on Avery when he instinctively reached for something his brother had handed him, only to turn his head to find that it was a high-voltage cable with a spark.

"David?"

His eyes widened, and now he was incapacitated.

Before he could throw away the cable, a high-voltage current passed through his and Avery bodies, and the kryptonite ring that Avery was wearing was green, and the high-voltage current visible to the naked eye turned green.

"Ahhh......h

The muscles of the whole body twitched, and the electricity filled the whole body, after a miserable scream.

Clark opened his eyes, felt that everything was back, his body was full of strength again, and he threw away the cable in his hand, he looked at the powerful palm, and surprise appeared on his face.

If it was before, regaining his ability, Clark would be happy but not so happy, but now his brother said that saving his father's life would require his ability.

"Were you too hasty just now?"

Although he got his abilities back, Clark couldn't help but say something about his brother's behavior just now.

"Believe in yourself, you have a lot of potential."

Taking off the kryptonite ring and picking it up, David was not too surprised by the easy result, and patted him on the shoulder.

Superman can almost be said to be the son of DC, as long as it is not outrageous, just toss it casually, at most throw the corpse into the sun for a while.

Clark stopped talking.

The younger brother believed that he was a good thing, but for some reason, he was inexplicably a little panicked.

I think it's better for my brother not to believe in him too much.

"Ahh My heart, it hurts......"

Suddenly, Avery woke up and couldn't understand why there were the Kent brothers standing in front of him, and the pain in his heart was so hot that he couldn't think.

"Avery, what's wrong with you?"

Clark hurriedly asked.

But Avery couldn't answer, and the blood accelerated like an out-of-control wave, and the veins on his forehead burst out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground without breath.

"David?"

"Don't look at me for anything, I didn't do anything."

Seeing Avery suddenly die, David frowned.

Perhaps this is the price of gaining the power of the gods on earth?

"Maybe there's still a little bit of energy left in him.

He doesn't have your physique, he can't withstand that energy. ”

Clark's ability allows Avery cells to absorb the sun's energy, but without a strong physique, this energy is a talisman.

"Leave him alone.

Let's go to Gotham now. ”

"Gotham?" When it came to something more important about his comatose father, Clark quickly turned his head and stopped dwelling on the issue for now.

My brother hasn't just been to Gotham.

"Someone there should be able to tell us exactly where the pool of Lazarus is."

David looked in the direction of Gotham.
