Chapter 249 Clark: I'll Become Superman in the Future!

Batman?

Green Arrow?

Clark couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Batman and the like, he's Gotham's infamous Dark Knight, a figure who single-handedly takes on Gotham's biggest supervillains.

Even if he wasn't in Gotham, Clark had heard of Batman's great name.

Clark even showed more respect for the enigmatic Batman than most people did.

Because Batman did what Clark had always wanted to do.

Although Jonathan sacrificed his life to prevent Clark from being exposed, which became a knot in Clark's heart, it could not suppress Clark's nature.

Even in the years since Jonathan's death, Clark has continued to reach out to those in need.

However, we need to be much more careful.

This is why Clark frequently changed jobs, and all of them were under false identities.

This was all to prevent Jonathan's worries from coming true and to prevent the world from recognizing his true self.

But it's a pity.

As Louis Lane once told Clark, it was all just temporary.

As long as Clark cannot refrain from extending a helping hand to others, he will be exposed sooner or later.

And indeed, that's how he was exposed in the future.

Even though she used many fake identities and changed many jobs, Louis still managed to find her.

Of course, that's all hindsight; these things haven't happened yet.

Now that Clark has obtained the diary, it's hard to say what changes will occur in the future.

Clark, of course, couldn't possibly know.

Right now, he's only just been drawn in by the contents of the diary, nothing more.

After a slight sigh, Clark refocused his attention on his diary.

And I noticed the name Green Arrow.

Oliver Quinn had only recently returned to Quinn Corporation, so Clark naturally hadn't heard of the name Green Arrow.

But without a doubt, this is a character similar to "Batman," and most likely a vigilante fighting crime.

Although we don't know who this person is, he should be someone who uses a weapon called "Green Arrow".

Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Superman, who are mentioned later, must also be the same; they are all the same kind of "superheroes".

Superheroes!

Yes, that's a good summary.

The term "volunteer police" is indeed somewhat narrow-minded, and it doesn't exactly have a high level of prestige.

It's no exaggeration to call someone a hero for helping the weak and fighting criminals.

Coupled with these nicknames, it's clear that they possess powers that ordinary people don't have.

Using the prefix "super" is also quite vivid and descriptive.

Clark hasn't been able to discern anything about Wonder Woman and Superman yet.

But what about The Flash? Can this person generate lightning, or be as fast as lightning?

Clark felt that both possibilities existed, but he didn't know which one it was.

But is this Superman actually just a farm boy?

What a coincidence!

Just like one's own identity!

Clark was a true farm boy.

Without God's perspective, Clark would never have imagined that the farm boy mentioned in the diary was actually himself.

Besides that, what does DC mean?

Looking at this batch of diaries, it's clear that the guy named Zhou Cheng has named the world he lives in DC.

But what do these two letters mean?

Then there's Marvel, which corresponds to it. But which world is this?

Or do DC and Marvel represent two different regions?

Looking at the divisions in the diary, it seems that the Gotham and Metropolis areas, as well as the areas where "superheroes" like Green Arrow, The Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman are active, are DC.

What about Marvel?

There should be many superheroes, but the diary doesn't specify which ones.

Therefore, Clarke naturally doesn't know the approximate boundaries of Marvel's territory.

However, there is one thing that is unexpected.

Did you know that there are so many superheroes in the world besides Batman?

This made Clark a little tempted.

It seems like it's not impossible to put on a suit like Batman and secretly help those in need!

But soon, Clark hesitated again.

My own father would never want me to do this!

[If this is Superman at this stage... no, calling him Superman now isn't appropriate, after all, General Zod hasn't arrived yet, and Clark hasn't achieved legendary status in a single battle.]

[Let the whole world know him as the son of Krypton, a god among men.]

Well, it's uncertain whether Clark has even discovered the reconnaissance ship his father, Joryl, left behind in the Arctic ice.

They might not even know their true identity, and might even suffer because of their "difference."

This is truly a strange world; powerful people aren't worshipped, but rather treated as monsters.

I really don't know what's wrong with those people's thought processes.

K, Clark?

Clark was stunned. So the farm boy mentioned in the diary was himself?

Although I often help others, I have never revealed my identity.

When did the title "Superman" come about?

"Wait a moment."

Clark sensed that something was wrong.

After carefully reading the contents of the diary again, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

What "the current Superman"? What "hasn't been revealed yet"?

Why does this tone sound like that of someone who knows the future?

It's worth mentioning here that, because it's a new dimension, the diary's content starts from scratch.

In other words, previous Marvel content is not displayed in Superman's world.

Therefore, Da Chao was unaware of Zhou Cheng's identity as a time traveler.

We can only infer the diary's narrative perspective from between the lines.

After seeing the perspective of the people from the future, he immediately fell into deep thought.

Is the diary saying that I will become a superhero in the future?

That's a bit absurd, isn't it?

How could anyone in this world possibly predict the future?

So, is someone playing a prank on me with this diary?

But the idea had barely crossed his mind when Clark vehemently rejected it.

That's ridiculous. Who would use such a magical notebook to play a prank on him?

But what exactly is going on with this diary? What's the deal with this diary written in the voice of someone from the future?

Clark couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"never mind!"

"Let's see what he actually says first."

After pondering the matter to no avail, Clark stopped worrying about it and turned his attention back to his diary.

"General Zod?"

Clark immediately looked thoughtful. Who is this guy?

However, the diary mentions that this guy will "descend" and fight with him, so a natural conclusion can be drawn.

General Zod came from his "hometown"!

Clark was immediately invigorated.

This was the first time in all his years on Earth that he had learned any information about his hometown.

Even though he doesn't yet know if this information is true or false.

Besides, the son of Krypton?

A god among men?

Let's leave aside the gods of the mortal realm for now; there's not much to say about them.

It's nothing more than a form of worship and a title of respect given to oneself.

But the Son of Krypton, so his home planet is actually called Krypton?

I am a Kryptonian?

His own father was named Joe Al?

Ah this!

The owner of that diary actually knew his own identity?

So this is my true identity!

Clark became somewhat excited. After so many years, he finally knew who he really was for the first time.

I finally learned about my origins.

This made Clark, who had been troubled by this for more than 20 years, extremely excited and thrilled.

However, Clark quickly regained his composure.

This magical diary did indeed provide him with an answer, but Clark was still hesitant to fully believe it; he needed to verify it himself.

Moreover, the confirmation process is not difficult.

After all, the diary clearly mentions that his father left a reconnaissance ship in the Arctic!

Clark only needs to make a trip to the Arctic to see if the reconnaissance ship is there.

Although Clark can't fly right now, his speed is comparable to the Flash's.

Combined with its X-ray vision, searching the entire Arctic would not be difficult.

This has potential!

Clark was indeed somewhat unsettled.

Of course, there's no need to rush this.

Clark quickly adjusted his mindset and refocused his attention on the diary.

A look of melancholy involuntarily appeared on his face.

As someone directly involved, Clark could deeply empathize with the complaints in the diary.

He grew up surrounded by the voices of "monsters".

Because of his overwhelming power and his extraordinary abilities, Clark had almost no friends.

This even caused considerable trouble for his parents.

Fortunately, those things are now in the past.

[Not only ordinary people, but even Clark's adoptive father, Jonathan, was extremely worried about Clark's identity being exposed.]

Even in life-or-death situations, Clark was forbidden from revealing his abilities to save him.

[I remember that because of this, Clark watched his father die in the typhoon, which was truly heartbreaking.]

[If Jonathan knew that one day General Zod would arrive and expose Clark's identity as the son of Krypton to the world, I wonder what he would think?]

[And concealing Clark's true identity was so simple—just a pair of glasses! That's outrageous.]

Jonathan was worrying for nothing.

It's unbelievable, really. Two people who look exactly alike, just wearing glasses, and nobody recognizes Clark as Superman?

[When Superman appears, I really want to find Clark and see what kind of magic those glasses have!]

Upon seeing the diary mention of his father's death, a trace of melancholy and sorrow flashed across Clark's face.

Just like the clichéd plot in countless movies, Clark had just had an argument with the other party before his father died!

This was a lifelong regret for Clark.

But how did that guy who kept the diary know about this?

In Clark's hometown of Smallville, many people know that Jonathan, this kind fellow countryman, died in a typhoon.

But everyone just treated it as an ordinary accident, and no one ever thought much about it.

No one will ever know these details mentioned in the diary!

Apart from Clark's mother, Martha.

Clark did want to go up and save Jonathan, but Jonathan stopped him as usual.

Tragedy ensued.

This became a lifelong source of pain for Clark and Martha.

How could Martha possibly reveal something like this to anyone else?

There is absolutely no possibility of it.

So, how did the owner of that diary find out?

Could it be that the other party truly possesses the ability to know the future?

So you know everything?

You must understand that this is the world of DC, where supernatural powers and events truly exist.

Especially for superhumans like Clark, they had come into contact with him during his growth process.

Therefore, the idea of ​​predicting the future is not so unacceptable to Clark.

So after a brief moment of thought, Clark didn't dwell on it any longer.

I began to focus my attention back on my diary.

He was speechless, utterly speechless.

All you need to hide your identity is a pair of glasses?

This sounds absurd enough!

Judging from the diary, it seems that because of his battle with General Zod, his identity as the "Child of Krypton" will become known worldwide.

However, he simply put on a pair of glasses, which perfectly concealed his identity.

Isn't this a bit ridiculous?

Are we all blind?

How could wearing a pair of glasses perfectly conceal one's identity?

However, judging from the tone of the diary, it doesn't seem like he's joking!

Does this really work?

No way, really?

Clark still couldn't believe it.

However, at present, Clark is no match for General Zod.

Even Clark himself might not have learned to fly yet!

[Iron body, super strength, super speed—that goes without saying, Clark probably already has all of that. The only question is whether he's awakened his heat ray abilities yet.]

[Speaking of which, Clark really is the most overpowered character in the DC universe. Even without fully mastering his abilities, he's practically unbeatable, isn't he?]

Looking at it this way, the Kryptonians really were a monstrous race. If they hadn't gone extinct, they would truly have been the undisputed rulers of the galaxy.

flight?

Will I still be able to fly in the future?

Clark's eyes lit up immediately.

Even someone like him, who is known for his eccentricities, yearns for flying.

Moreover, this "spoiler" in the diary is not entirely unfounded.

As his own power continued to awaken, Clark had long realized that he could alter the surrounding gravitational field.

Of course, Clark couldn't possibly know that his ability had a professional name: "biofield".

However, Clark did have a feeling.

If he could master this ability, he could indeed fly!
