Chapter 36 God is dead, Superman is born

"You're too stubborn, Jonathan."

After Clark entered his room, Martha said to her husband, "You don't want him to expose his abilities in order to protect Clark."

"But Clark has a very kind heart, helping others and saving others is what he likes to do, you can't stop him from doing it all the time."

Jonathan sighed, "Of course I do, but Clark isn't ready yet, he's not ready to know life, we all know that, Martha."

He held his wife's hand and said, "Clark came from outer space. He must have a mission, and maybe John too. They are destined to change the world in the future."

Martha smiled bitterly at her husband and said, "Haven't you figured it out? Under Peter's influence, Clark began to yearn for a different life. He didn't want to stay on the farm and be an ordinary child."

She understood her husband, and she knew even better what Clark was thinking now.

"If you keep suppressing him, Jonathan Clark will eventually find that family is not only a warm harbor, but also a shackle that binds him. As he grows older, he will no longer rely on and crave our care. He will be eager to step out of the greenhouse and help more people."

Jonathan knew that his wife's words made sense, but he still shook his head. "Not now. Peter hasn't taught him how to face society yet. You know, Martha, even if our son has a body of steel, people will destroy this 'different' to pieces."

"You always have a point, Jonathan."

Martha knew she couldn't win the argument with her husband, so she decided not to continue discussing the topic with him.

"Back to you, you've never been willing to leave the farm, Jonathan. You haven't even been traveling."

Facing his wife's teasing, Jonathan shrugged his shoulders and said, "For most people, traveling means traveling around the world, but for me, you are the world."

Martha didn't expect that her husband, who was usually unromantic, could say such romantic words.

Her face turned slightly red. "That's how you tricked me into coming to the farm when I was in college."

"Do you regret it?"

Martha pretended to think, "A little bit, but even if I go back in time, I'm sure you'll still fool me."

She said as she stood up, "I have to go check on Clark."

Upstairs, Martha knocked gently on the door and then pushed it open.

Clark was reading a book with a small desk lamp on. When he saw his mother come in, he put the book next to his pillow.

"Mother."

"What are you reading, Clark?"

Martha asked him curiously.

"Nietzsche's book."

Clark showed the book cover to his mother.

Martha looked at the cover of Thus Spoke Zarathustra with a slightly dazed expression.

"Can you understand Nietzsche, Clark?"

She didn't believe that Clark, who was not even seven years old, could understand such a philosophical book.

"No, it was recommended to me by my godfather, but I like it very much."

Clark said it was recommended by the Godfather.

"Peter?"

Martha thinks Peter may have overestimated Clark.

How can a child understand Nietzsche?
"Mother."

Clark held the book and asked Martha, "Can I ask you a question?"

"of course can."

Martha stroked Clark's hair.

"Why did Nietzsche say 'God is dead, we now hope for the birth of the Superman'?"

"Uh"

Martha was stumped by Clark's question.

She didn't major in philosophy in college, so she didn't know how to answer this question.

"Ahem. It's too late, Clark. You have to go to bed. Mom will answer this question for you tomorrow, okay?"

Martha, who was quick-witted, decided to delay the process. "Okay, Mom."

Clark put "Nietzsche" under his pillow and prepared to go to sleep.

"I'll ask the Godfather tomorrow."

When Martha heard what Clark said, she suddenly felt unwell.

A feeling of frustration as a parent came over me.

at the same time.

Peter didn't know that Clark was planning to discuss Nietzsche with him tomorrow, and he was now standing by the river where the school bus accident had happened during the day.

The gurgling river flowed forward, rolling up foam and swirling towards the shore.

At the shore where the school bus was pushed up, car parts and garbage were scattered in a mess.

Peter stared at the river, lost in thought.

Clark was touched by a fish glowing green at the bottom of the water, and his body immediately became weak.

This suggests that the fish in Smallwell River were irradiated with kryptonite.

And there is a high possibility that kryptonite exists underwater.

Taking a deep breath, he took off his coat, revealing his muscular upper body.

With a "splash", he jumped into the river.

The cold river water at night immediately brought a chill.

At this time, because of the watch, his physical fitness has been enhanced several times, so he will naturally not be affected by the cold.

Diving into the water, he began searching for traces of kryptonite.

The visibility underwater at night is extremely poor. Even though Peter has extraordinary eyesight, it is difficult to find the kryptonite.

After searching for a while without any results, just when he was wondering if his guess was wrong, he suddenly saw a school of fish with a faint green glow swimming towards him.

The fish circled around him and then swam slowly forward.

Peter immediately followed the school of fish to see if he could find any trace of kryptonite.

After all, this thing is a rare item.

Rather than letting Batman and Clark's enemies get it in the future and use it against Clark, it is better to hold it in his own hands first.

Not only does it have collection value, but grinding it into powder and giving it to Clark to use can also enhance his kryptonite resistance.

Following the school of fish swimming in the water, Peter soon found a kryptonite as big as a coral reef under a lush aquatic plant.

Peter's eyes widened as he looked at the large amount of Kryptonite emitting a glittering green light.

Even if all the kryptonite was ground into powder, it would be enough for Clark to drink for a year or so.

"Wow!"

Peter popped up, holding a Kryptonite that was glowing green.

Swimming to shore, he placed the kryptonite on the ground and wiped the water off his head.

Peter casually broke off a piece of kryptonite and placed it in front of his eyes. He stared at the stone emitting bright green light and fell into deep thought.

Officer Chandler once said that a bank robbery suspect jumped into this river and disappeared.

Considering this guy's superhuman physical fitness.

Could it be that the robbers were affected by the kryptonite in the Smallwell River, causing them to mutate and have such superhuman powers?
He moved the kryptonite away from his eyes and stared down the river.

The swamp before was contaminated by kryptonite radiation, which caused the land to change and "resurrected" the bodies buried in it.

So even if the kryptonite under the water gives humans superpowers, this seems possible.

Putting away the kryptonite, he shook his head.

Then why did the students in the school bus that fell into the river during the day, and myself who just swam in it, not experience any physical changes?
"Hoohoo!"

Under the silver moonlight, a small green fish jumped out of the water, gently creating ripples on the water.
