Great Paladin in the World of American Comics

Chapter 220 The Immortal Light
'Mr. Fantastic Mr. Reed Richards is a genius scientist. During a space mission, his body structure was changed by cosmic rays, so that his body can change into any shape with his will. It was originally a man who envied all men. His wife Susan must have already experienced the ability of jealousy and hatred, but it is a pity that he is now dead. '

'He died in a covert operation on X, X, 20XX...'

In the cemetery in Queens, Clark Kent in a suit and leather shoes was standing silently in front of the tombstone of 'Reed Richards'. There was a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, apparently he had just put it on.

He just stood here, bowing his head in thought without saying a word, letting the drizzle wet his hair, until another man in the same suit, holding a black umbrella, and wearing sunglasses came over And after putting down the second bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, he finally raised his head as if he had woken up.

"Tony Stark, you are finally here..."

"I ask you……"

"You wrote the epitaph on Reed's tombstone?"

Turning his head slowly, Clark looked at Stark with eyes of unknown emotion, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Of course!"

"You were all taken away at that time, and someone always needs to clean up the mess."

"I know, this may not be serious enough, but, I think it's good to write it this way, at least it won't be so sad when people look at it, right?"

Tony Stark directly admitted that he presided over the funeral of Reed Richards and the writing of the epitaph.

Once upon a time, Reed Richards was the person Stark admired the most. The other party had the ability that all men dream of, but now, he suddenly didn't envy the other party, because the other party was dead and burnt. After lying in this cemetery, Stark himself is still alive, and he has nothing to envy him.

"..."

"You're a coward. You shouldn't be here today. I thought you definitely wouldn't be here."

After being silent for a while, Clark didn't choose to dwell on the matter of the epitaph, but suddenly said something different.

"But I'm still here!"

"At least Reed and I are friends, we were both Illuminati once, weren't we?"

With drooping shoulders, looking at the masterpiece on the tombstone that was conceived by himself, Stark didn't look shy or sad, but said with a relaxed face after taking off his sunglasses.

"The Illuminati?"

"Do not……"

"There is no light, Reed is dead, the professor has become an ordinary person, the X-Men have died, the captain is devastated, the doctor betrayed us for his so-called future, and now..."

"The Illuminati has been disbanded."

Shaking his head, thinking about the encounter between the Illuminati and those initiators, and looking at the tombstone in front of him, Clark closed his eyes again in pain.

"No! No!"

"The Illuminati's starting point is good. It has never been disbanded, and it should not be disbanded. It's just that there is no need to continue to be so extreme."

"I know, Clark, you're trying to recruit people, and I want you to change that."

Looking at the tombstone, and then at Superman next to him who was drenched in the drizzle, Stark suddenly persuaded softly as a reminder.

"!!"

"Ha! You call what we did then extreme?"

"Stark, do you know what you're talking about?"

Superman suddenly moved in front of Stark in an instant. Because of his speed, his shoulders and hair were covered with water mist, and then the two of them looked at each other face to face with a distance of less than an inch. with.

Of course, Stark's expression is Gujing Wubo, while Superman Clark's is angry, like a wounded angry lion.

"!?"

"you……"

"Have you regained your strength?"

However, Stark didn't care about the other party's pressing questions, but was slightly surprised, or asked as if deliberately changing the subject.

"..."

"Humph!"

"Kryptonite's suppression of us Kryptonians is not permanent."

"I got rid of it long ago."

Seeing that Stark didn't answer his own topic, he couldn't help it. After staring at him for a few seconds, Clark still stepped back two steps and walked aside.

"Wow!"

"That's good news indeed, congratulations Clark."

"You're Superman again now."

This really surprised Stark, because he thought that the other party would always be an ordinary person like Professor X.

"I have always been!"

"Previously!"

"It is now, and it will be in the future!"

Perhaps because he was not satisfied with Stark's attitude, Clark turned his back directly and replied in that cold tone.

"and then?"

"what!"

"I guess, don't you still want to shoot Renault?"

Suddenly, Stark, who thought of some bad things, asked in surprise, and looked at the other party up and down at the same time.

"..."

Clark didn't answer, but his silence was the best answer.

"It's useless!"

"Clark, listen to my advice!"

"At least it turns out that the doctor's approach is correct. Infinity gems are good for him. At least we defeated Thanos, Darkseid, and resurrected those brave fighters and heroes. That's fine."

"Isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, the other party was still thinking about the previous incident, and still couldn't let it go, so Stark stepped forward, trying to persuade the other party.

"Maybe!"

"But he didn't revive Reed!"

Clark replied coldly.

And this is obviously the main reason why he invited Stark to come here today, which further strengthens what he will do.

"But!"

"These are two different things. I warned you at the beginning. Even if it were me, I don't think I will resurrect a guy who opposes me!"

"And Reed didn't die in that battle, you can't mix the two things together."

After knowing the reasons for Clark's business and the specific ideas, Stark could only explain in this way other than wryly smiling and shaking his head regretfully.

Although, he also knew that Clark would definitely not listen to him easily.

"Stark..."

"This matter made me see through. It is never a good thing for the Infinity Stone to remain in his hands. We will never know what he will do."

"That's too dangerous."

Thinking of the ability of the Infinity Stone, and then thinking about the character of that man, Clark finally became more determined in his mind.

"That's better than falling into the hands of Thanos!"

"You are not crazy, you want to repeat it again?"

"Believe me, Clark, this time, I may not have the opportunity to help you collect the corpse, and there is no empty grave next to Reed."

Stark really didn't have a chance to collect the other party's body, because he knew that the other party had a cousin who had an affair with Renault and had a very good relationship. If Clark died, it would definitely not be his turn to clean up the mess.

"rest assured……"

"This time, we won't be so reckless."

"But I'll keep an eye on him, keep an eye on him, and if I think it's necessary, we'll still strike and kill him!"

"must!"

Clark turned around slowly, allowing Stark to see his frighteningly indifferent face.

"But……"

"why?"

Opening his mouth, Stark thought about it, and finally gave up, because he no longer knew how to persuade such a stubborn guy.

"No reason!"

"Earth doesn't need a god, especially a living god!"

"??"

"Why not?"

"But even if there is no Raynor, there will be other gods on Earth, such as the one on Asgard?"

"Isn't he doing pretty well now?"

Stark knew that compared to the Goddess of Death Hela on Asgard who once killed the entire Asgard God's Domain Legion with one person's power, Renault's performance can be described as a saint.

Anyway, if one had to choose between Lei Nuo and Hela to be the god of the earth, he would undoubtedly choose Lei Nuo!

You know, Thor and Loki are still plotting to overthrow the rule of Hella and take back Asgard. They even sneaked into Asgard's treasury and wanted to put a certain skull Into the eternal fire, and want to drive away or destroy Hela?
But unfortunately, in the end they found that the eternal flame was still there, but the skull of the flame giant Surtur disappeared for some reason, and there was only the eternal flame in the treasury of Asgard, so in the end they The two had to return in a bitter mood, and talked about it for a long time in the Avengers.

"You do not understand……"

"If he is the only voice here on Earth, then this world will become very scary, there will always be opponents, and I will choose to be that kind of person."

"A dissenting voice?"

"also!"

"Go for it, I support you!"

"Oh?"

"Stark, have you figured it out and want to join us?"

"!!"

"No!"

"You got it wrong, please correct me by the way: In this matter, I will strictly observe neutrality! I will always be neutral! Absolutely neutral!!"

Having come to this point, seeing that the other party was planning to recruit him into the gang, Stark hurriedly refuted and corrected his mistakes.

"..."

Superman Clark didn't speak again, just silently looking at Stark who was holding an umbrella through the rain curtain that was getting bigger and bigger.

"Hello!"

"Please don't look at me like that, my family has a big career, really, I'm not like you, I can't afford it!"

"and also!"

"In fact, I already know that you have gathered a lot of people, but... To be honest, I really don't think much of you. The gap between you and Renault is too obvious."

"You actually want to fight against a cosmic group that has the biggest and strongest country on earth, that's really stupid, really!"

Stark refers to the kingdom of Atlantis under the sea, that undersea country, whether it is population, resources or science and technology, is the top on earth, even Wakanda is far inferior, so, He said that he would not join in anything.

"..."

Clark's expression gradually became indifferent, and he just looked at Stark two steps away.

"Thanos and Darkseid, some of you should have seen it, right?"

"And those two guys were defeated by Renault in the end. Although I don't know how he did it, I only know that it was Renault who led them to Asgard. However, even with Asgard With the help of the Queen of Germany, that also means that she is on his side, so you still have no chance of winning!"

"I said so, you should be able to understand?"

"Whether it's cutting-edge personal force, or science and technology, or financial resources, influence, etc., you don't have any advantage. Tell me, what do you use to fight him?"

Shaking his head, Stark no longer intends to continue talking, because he racked his brains and couldn't think of the reason and probability that the opponent could win, not even one in ten thousand!
"..."

Clarke still didn't speak.

"never mind!"

"Let's make trouble with you!"

"However, I still want to remind you that your cousin has a very good relationship with him, so don't make things difficult for her."

"That's all, goodbye!"

"If this kind of thing still happens in the future, then don't invite me again, because I will definitely not participate."

"I haven't had enough of life yet!"

After finishing speaking, Stark, who felt that he had made it clear, sighed, then looked at the rain that was getting heavier in the sky, then looked at his brand-name leather shoes that had been wet by the rain, and took a last look at Clark, and then Turn around and prepare to leave this deserted cemetery.

"Mr. Stark..."

"uh-huh?"

"What, is there any problem?"

"actually……"

"Kara is my cousin. Although she is much younger than me, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"what!"

"The one younger than you is your cousin?"

"This is really difficult for people to understand. The ethical relationship between you Kryptonians is really complicated!"

"..."

"goodbye!"

"Anyway, I hope you guys don't cause big trouble, and don't come to me if something goes wrong!"

"Because, I will definitely separate the relationship."

After speaking, Stark walked forward quickly before the rain covered the soles of his shoes.

clap la la...

The rain gradually became heavier, and soon completely submerged the superman Clark behind Stark, but he was not worried at all, because he knew that the other party was Superman, the superman whose strength had recovered, and the speed of the other party was faster than a bullet. Be fast, the strength is stronger than that of a locomotive, and you can jump over tall buildings with a single leap, and a mere torrential rain will definitely be helpless to the opponent.

……

And when Superman Clark and Iron Man Stark met secretly, Raynor was also talking to an Apocalypse who once wanted to invade the earth.

"Owner!"

"The fall of Darkseid provided a lot of convenience for my actions."

"Currently, the Apocalypse that has received the news is in chaos. Give me a while, and I can contribute a complete Apocalypse to you."

During the holographic call, the tall 3D projection of the Steppenwolf was half-kneeling in front of Lei Nuo, assuring Lei Nuo tremblingly.

After knowing the fact that even Darkseid was wiped out by Renault, the current Steppenwolf became even more servile.

"No!"

"No need! After you finish, you will be the new ruler of Apocalypse. I'm not interested in that planet!"

"That `s a deal."

"You will continue to control the Apocalypse after completion, but your beliefs and certain foreign policies may need to be changed. The specifics will be discussed after you complete it."

Renault's energy has long since ceased to focus on Apocalypse, because that is just a small matter of icing on the cake.

"......."

"Yes, my master."

Steppenwolf lowered his head, and after a while, his tall 3D holographic projection gradually disappeared.
