What's wrong with Superman's brother wanting to be Homelander?

Chapter 14: Divine Mercy

The cold, perfectly round steel ball gleamed with a dazzling silver light in the sunlight.

These are items he found in Jonathan's pile of farm tools.

Originally intended to be embedded in the axle wheels of large agricultural implements, these were solid, heavy-duty steel balls.

Although it's only the size of a ping-pong ball, it's quite heavy, feeling cold and solid in your hand.

The moment the steel ball was thrown, the air seemed to be struck by an invisible giant hammer, producing a loud "bang"!

What was originally an ordinary solid iron ball, empowered by Lucas's monstrous strength that defied all reason, traveled at unimaginable speeds, like a heavy, high-velocity armor-piercing bullet fired from a gun.

With the aid of [Divine Insight], and amidst a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, even though Lucas had no prior throwing experience, he still managed to strike the female ogre on the back of the head with unparalleled precision.

"puff--!"

The dull thud even drowned out the cracking sound of bones breaking.

The female cannibal froze instantly.

Before the greed and astonishment in his eyes could turn into terror, his entire head exploded like a watermelon hit head-on by a large-caliber sniper rifle.

Red and white splattered all over the ground, killing him instantly.

[The wounded female cannibal has been successfully killed!]

[Achievement: Kill a total of 100 monsters.]

[Reward: Gain the trait - Survival of the fittest.]

[Current kill count: 2/100.]

This will take forever to kill!

Lucas suddenly felt a pain in his gums.

But now is not the time to reminisce about this place.

He waved his hand expressionlessly and walked closer to the ogre's corpse.

As the monster died suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The skin on the other person's body was peeling off rapidly, like melting wax, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its once fair skin turned into a rough, bluish-gray, and its plump body withered and shrunken, eventually transforming into a emaciated, bony, foul-smelling cannibalistic corpse with a mouthful of sharp fangs.

The clothes that were originally very tight on her body were now loose and baggy.

Clearly, this is the true face of this cannibal.

Lucas, expressionless, grabbed the corpse and expertly searched every single pocket on the body.

To kill someone and not touch the body is the greatest injustice.

Lucas naturally had no intention of being a victim of injustice.

Besides the 1300 fragrant knives that should have rightfully belonged to him, he also discovered a gold ring.

There are words engraved on it—

My favorite woman, Emma Claire Carter.

Lucas didn't believe that Emma was the ogre's real name.

On the contrary, he felt that the ogre had killed the other person and taken their place.

Behind this story is likely a pair of star-crossed lovers.

However, he wasn't very clear about the abilities of these monsters, and he could ask the Winchester brothers when he had time.

Having done all that, Lucas threw the now worthless corpse away like a shot put.

The cannibal's corpse crashed heavily into the depths of the cornfield along a long parabola.

It's been raining a lot lately.

With the help of damp soil and microorganisms, the female cannibal's corpse should rot away in a few days.

It is indeed a good place to kill and hide a body.

After clapping his hands, Lucas didn't leave immediately. Instead, he suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction behind him, saying indifferently:

"Since you're already here, don't hide anymore, Clark."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure darted out of another cornfield in a panic.

It was Clark.

"Brother, you...you killed someone!"

The future Superman was dumbfounded and stammered.

Witnessing his older brother smash someone's head to pieces was a blow to Clark's young mind.

Even the way they looked at Lucas was filled with fear.

Clearly, Clark only saw his brother disposing of the body.

He hadn't activated his Superman vision yet, so he couldn't see the cannibal's appearance clearly.

"kill?"

Lucas immediately shrugged, a half-smile playing on his lips:

"Alright, dear brother, consider it murder as evidence. So, what do you plan to do with your own brother?"

Clark was speechless.

He pursed his lips and, in a still quite childish voice, said in a serious tone:

"Regardless of what the other party did, we should let the law judge them; the law is fair!"

His father always taught him that the greater one's power, the less one should arbitrarily take away lives!

He remembered it all.

"Leave it to the law?"

Upon hearing this, Lucas couldn't help but let out a sneer.

First, he doesn't believe the law can punish cannibals.

In addition-

Lucas smiled slightly, stepped forward, and patted his half-brother firmly on the shoulder.

With a grinning expression, Da Chao jokingly said:

"So, my good brother, are you planning to call the police? Let your so-called righteous law judge your brother..."

Three-year-old Clark already knew how to dial 911.

"I--"

A clear struggle appeared on Clark's face, and he finally said dejectedly:

"I can choose not to call the police, but brother, you absolutely cannot do this again!"

Faced with a difficult choice between morality and family ties, Clark chose the latter.

But in Lucas's view, this has never been a difficult decision.

He snapped his fingers smoothly, encouragingly saying:

"As expected of my good brother, double the rainbow fruit gummies."

As for whether this will continue in the future, I can only say... who can say for sure what the future holds?

After saying that, without waiting for Clark's reply, Lucas waved his hand and turned to leave.

Unbeknownst to them, Clark's expression instantly turned serious upon hearing those words.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely stop you then."

The future Superman has gradually become aware of the abnormality in himself.

He didn't need to work out like his older brother every day.

Simply by sunbathing, one can obtain a continuous source of energy, and every so often, one's physical fitness will experience an unimaginable and tremendous improvement.

It may not be so obvious now, with Lucas suppressing him due to his age, but he will definitely surpass his older brother in the future!

……

That day, Lucas and Clark went shopping at the town's supermarket, led by Ms. Martha.

Lucas, a man of his word, generously bought Clark two rainbow-colored fruit gummies with an air of extravagance.

I bought some fitness equipment for myself.

"Lucas...why did you buy all this?"

Martha was a little stunned as she looked at the shopping cart filled with dumbbells, barbells, push-up stands, weight bags, and other items.

"To train my body," Lucas replied readily.

Martha held her forehead, her face full of helplessness.

I don't know what's gotten into my eldest son. He's so young, yet he's so enthusiastic about fitness.

Other kids are always asking for snacks and toys...

My own kids, on the other hand, treat grocery shopping like they're stocking up on gym supplies—it's ridiculously absurd.

She suddenly realized that letting Lucas handle the fifty dollars himself was a serious mistake.
