I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

"But your family shouldn't have come to provoke me!"

She was faster than a cheetah on the run, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and threw a punch that whistled through the air at David.

[Tina's astonishment +0.4, anger +0.6...]

Bang!

The fist moved with the speed of a bullet and carried astonishing force. David stepped back to dodge the punch, and when she struck again, he grabbed her wrist. Tina tried to break free, but it was like being held by an iron clamp.

"The strength is good, but it's a pity that it's a very womanly fighting style."

There is no order at all.

His eyes were cold, and he exerted force with his hands, pressing down with hundreds of tons of power.

"let me go!"

Tina screamed in pain, her face contorted with rage, and her other fist tore through the air as it struck David’s head.

As if he hadn't seen anything, David didn't move his body at all, but suddenly exerted force in his hands, with a force of over a thousand tons. Under this terrifying force, even steel ingots would be crushed into iron mud.

Cackling!

Halfway through her punch, a sharp, excruciating pain shot through her wrist. Tina screamed, her body jerked as if electrocuted. She tried to pull her hand away from David's grasp, but to no avail.

She stared at that handsome, cold face as if she were facing a ruthless, cold-blooded, terrifying creature, which filled her with fear.

“David…”

In the midst of the crisis, Tina's face contorted like mud, transforming into a woman's face with fine lines around her eyes, and she deliberately feigned extreme pain.

Tina transformed into Martha's face, believing that David would instinctively let go upon seeing his mother's pained expression.

David did just that, releasing his grip as if he'd been electrocuted.

"how dare you!"

But in the next instant, he realized what was happening and was filled with rage.

Before Tina could escape, she felt a hand as if it were made of cast steel grab her head and slam her face down onto the ground.

Bang!

Gravel flew everywhere, and Tina's entire head was almost violently shoved into the ground.

giggle!

"Ah!"

Tina screamed, trying to lift her head, but the large hand pressed down on her skull, causing it to crack under the strain. The fear of death overwhelmed her.

"Help! Help!" she cried out, her muffled voice coming from underground.

David remained unmoved, his face cold, and raised his fist to strike.

click!

"Let go, David."

Clark rushed over and grabbed David's wrist.

This time he didn't hold back and quickly increased his strength, but when he found that even with maximum strength he couldn't pull David away, he stared at him in surprise.

Clark was just about to use his hands.

"Get out of the way!"

David swung his clenched fist backward, sending Clark flying as if weightless. He then swung his fist down.

Bang!

Tina's hands, which had been struggling and flailing like a drowning person, fell limply to the ground, her head buried in the soil, and she stopped moving.

"Tina!"

Clark yelled and rushed to Tina's side, turning the person, whose life was uncertain, over.

Fortunately, he was still breathing.

But... I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did.

"You've turned someone into a vegetable again."

He glared angrily at his younger brother.

"I'm already being lenient by not killing her because she dared to take on my mother's appearance."

David stood up, clapped his hands, looked down at his feet, and spoke in an icy tone.

[Tina's fear +0.8, doubt +0.3, anxiety +1.0, anxiety, anxiety... fear +1.2, fear, fear...]

A complete process—a person faints, then discovers they are still conscious, wonders why they can't control their body, then frantically tries again, then realizes something, and finally feels fear…

He did not kill Tina.

In prisons for serious offenders, the punishment for unruly and disruptive criminals is often to put them in solitary confinement.

There was only a faint ray of light through the crack in the prison door; the space was so narrow that you could barely take two steps; in the darkness, there was no one to talk to, and you couldn't even see your own hands.

"No matter how vicious a criminal is, he will become well-behaved after being locked in a small dark room for three days."

What awaits Tina is an enhanced version of the dark room that will last for decades.

……

On the cold, icy lakeshore, cars were parked and bonfires were lit.

A lively outdoor barbecue party at noon on a holiday.

David, Chloe, and the others sat around the fire, roasting meat.

"David, Clark, what's wrong with you two?" Chloe, wearing a down jacket, asked in confusion. "If I remember correctly, I haven't heard you speak for several days!"

"The atmosphere between you two these past few days has been as cold as this lakeside." Pete deliberately rubbed himself, his voice trembling, pretending to be freezing to death, his teeth chattering. "Oh God, save me."

He deliberately acted exaggeratedly and comically, trying to create a lively and relaxed atmosphere and give the two a chance to reconcile.

“I don’t feel cold,” Clark said in a deep voice, turning the beef he was grilling.

David took a sip of his cold fruit beer and looked at the distant lake, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

"Did you come from a cold alien planet?" Chloe asked curiously.

She had never seen the two of them like this before.

What exactly happened between these two brothers?

Chapter 27 The Strange Transfer Student

Spring is not yet over, and even the chilly riverside cannot dampen the enthusiasm of a group of high school students for a holiday barbecue party.

Template integration rate: 93%

David took a sip of fruit beer and gazed at the frozen river in the distance.

A few days ago, after he left Tina in a vegetative state, the two returned home.

Father Jonathan stood anxiously at the door, holding a shotgun. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both his sons had returned safely. He then scolded David for chasing after them.

To avoid worrying his parents, Clark took the initiative to say that he was the one who knocked the person unconscious and left him in front of the town's police station.

Police later found the $100,000 that had been transferred in Tina's school locker.

However, due to a lack of evidence and because Tina was unconscious for unknown reasons, she was temporarily taken into custody in the hospital as a suspect.

Clark was unusually angry with David after that day and didn't speak to him for several days.

David felt bad about making Clark take the blame again, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

"The Kryptonian sons who now vehemently oppose crossing that line will one day snap the neck of their last kin."

Clark isn't that stubborn or rigid; he's just too young now and has a somewhat idealistic view of the world.

Beside the fire, David clenched his fists, as if the muscles of a high-density alloy were twisted together, surging with the power of a volcanic eruption.

The Thanos template gave him formidable strength.

"But it's not enough."

Even the fully-powered Superman has faced life-threatening situations multiple times in this dangerous world, and Earth has faced countless crises that nearly led to its destruction.

There have even been instances where the Earth was completely destroyed.

Looking up at the sky, David's eyes seemed to see the universe beyond the azure firmament.

He incorporated Thanos's template, but he did not develop the ambition to dominate the universe, nor did he consider himself extraordinary enough to take on any responsibility related to the safety of the universe.

He only has one goal in mind for the time being.

"Continuously improve your capabilities to ensure that you can protect yourself and your family no matter what happens."

This goal is both simple and very difficult.

Therefore, he will not miss the opportunity to gain emotional resonance.

"Hopefully the next template will be as powerful as Thanos."
