Talia looked at Clark in shock, her face filled with an expression of disbelief.
She never expected that Bane, whom she relied on and depended on the most, would be instantly eliminated by the opponent.
The uncontrollable change in events caused her heart to panic.
The remaining members of the League of Assassins, though somewhat flustered by the Heat Vision in Clark's eyes, did not lose their will to fight due to their professional training and faith, and immediately charged towards Clark.
As a result, they were all instantly dealt with by Clark, who possessed Super Speed.
Batman, squatting on a metal shelf in the warehouse, watched Clark use Super Speed to instantly eliminate the skilled assassin, and shook his head with a serious expression.
"As long as I want to, no one can stop me!"
Clark looked coldly at the stunned Talia.
"Once you are no longer yourself, Clark, you will become disgusting."
A somewhat familiar voice came from behind Clark.
Clark turned his head and found the person he least wanted to see standing behind him.
Under the half-moon's clear glow, on the shimmering dock illuminated by the sparkling sea, Eric stood quietly.
The moonlight was like frost, and the white sand on the sea surface merged with the moonlight, shining on Eric's body, giving him a mysterious and elusive aura.
Talia stared in astonishment at Eric under the half-moon, enveloped by his cold and powerful aura, as if bathed in moonlight.
This mysterious and cold feeling even surpassed the feeling Clark Kent gave her.
Clark turned around, his eyes chilling, "Eric Kent, you shouldn't be here."
"Actually, I have no interest in your absurd or arrogant ambitions."
Eric took a step closer to Clark and said with a cold expression, "If I wasn't worried about Mom, I wouldn't even spare a glance for the current you."
"Is that so? Because you've never treated me as your brother, your barren and indifferent emotions are evident to me at a glance, Eric Kent!"
Clark said expressionlessly.
"?!"
Talia, standing nearby, opened her mouth in astonishment.
These are two brothers?!
One was enough for her to handle, and now a younger brother has arrived!
What kind of monstrous family is this?!
"Is that so?"
Eric sneered, his eyes turning crimson and focusing on Clark.
And Clark was not to be outdone; a crimson Heat Vision immediately shot from his eyes.
Sizzle!
The two beams of Heat Vision intertwined and collided, creating a powerful impact.
Countless scarlet heat particles burst out, forming a space that could melt the air where the Heat Visions collided.
Talia, terrified, covered her eyes and retreated repeatedly.
Due to Eric's abilities being off the charts under the moonlight, all his physical indicators almost reached "300%" of the Homelander Template!
Even though tonight wasn't a "Hunter's Moon Night," the power of his Heat Vision still surpassed Clark, who couldn't receive direct sunlight.
"Ugh!"
Clark, gritting his teeth, his face veins bulging, maxed out his Heat Vision output.
The next second!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clark was directly blasted away by Eric's Heat Vision.
Like a baseball flying straight, Clark's body slammed heavily onto the sea surface, then skipped across the water like a skipping stone.
The surface tension of the water and his body contact created a loud "bang."
The impacted sea surface raised huge waves.
The towering splashes formed a powerful visual effect under the moonlight.
After seeing Clark knocked into the sea, Eric retracted his Heat Vision, bent his knees slightly, and with a booming sound, shot into the sky, drawing an elliptical trajectory in the air before accelerating towards Clark in the sea.
Talia, with a shocked heart, ran to the shore and looked in the direction Eric flew.
Meanwhile, Batman, who had been observing, had moved to the very top of the warehouse, looking at the sea surface illuminated by the clear moonlight.
He shook his head and murmured softly, "God!"
Bang!
On the shimmering sea, Eric grabbed Clark by the collar.
Just as Clark was about to resist, Eric revealed the black kryptonite in the lead box and aimed it at Clark.
The moment he saw the black kryptonite, Clark immediately trembled all over, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.
At the same time, a powerful energy was generated within his body, and faint black light gathered around him.
Eric expressionlessly released Clark, letting his trembling body be enveloped by the black light.
"Ugh!"
Clark, clutching his chest and trembling uncontrollably, made an incoherent sound, his face contorted in pain.
As his trembling deepened, a somewhat insubstantial phantom split from Clark's body.
"Ugh, no!"
Clark's screams grew louder, and the ethereal shadow that split off became increasingly solid.
Two Clarks, bare-chested, appeared in the black light!
Bang!
The split Clark punched the original's jaw, then grabbed the original Clark's throat, a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Humanity has made you weak, Kal!"
The one who split off, seemingly the evil personality of Clark, taunted him while increasing the strength in his hand.
Eric, standing nearby, watched the two Clarks fighting fiercely, a complex look flickering in his eyes.
Seeing that the evil Clark was about to kill the original Clark, Eric's eyes lit up with a crimson glow, preparing to act.
"Don't give up, Clark, you know who the real you is!"
Whispering, Eric prepared to fire his Heat Vision.
"Ugh!"
Clark, whose throat was being choked, roared, snatched the black kryptonite from Eric's hand, aimed it at the evil personality choking him, and slammed it hard into his chest.
The evil Clark, with the black kryptonite almost embedded in his chest, immediately let out a scream and released Clark's neck.
Then his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
A beam of light emitted from the black kryptonite directly pierced the evil personality's chest.
In his unwilling roar, he turned to dust and completely vanished.
Bang!
The moment the evil Clark disappeared, the black kryptonite exploded with a huge blast.
Invisible shockwaves spread in all directions.
At the very center of the explosion, a huge wave surged.
Eric stood still, unaffected by the explosion, merely extending a hand to block the shockwave coming towards him.
Clark, having eliminated the evil personality, suddenly fell from mid-air.
Eric grabbed Clark's arm, preventing him from falling into the sea.
"Er-Eric."
Clark, weakly raising his head and looking at Eric holding his arm, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Sorry, I... I'm back."
"I see."
Eric said with an unchanged expression, "If you can fly, you'd best stand up yourself."
"I..."
Clark looked at the moonlit sea beneath his feet and shook his head, "I can't fly now."
"Hmm."
Eric nodded, "That seems like a good thing for you."
"Whoosh!"
A huge wave crashed towards the shore. Talia, hearing the explosion, retreated a few steps in time and was not swept away by the wave.
This...
Looking at the distant sea, Talia's heart also fluctuated like raging waves.
What is this?
What kind of beings are these two, possessing such power?!
On the other side, Batman, on the roof of the warehouse, looked at the distant sea and stood up.
With complex emotions, he opened his communicator, attempting to speak with Alfred.
"Alfred?"
"Yes, Master. Was your plan successful this time? The pie you prepared has been microwaved several times. I think you might have encountered something that delayed you."
"Yes, I saw angels and devils, angels of hell, devils of heaven. Just now I uploaded a video to the server, encrypted it, with the highest permission only one person can view, set as—"
Retracting his gaze, Batman's low voice said, "Bruce Wayne."
The next morning, as Eric had just pushed open the barn door, he heard a lively sound.
Eric looked at the people gathered around the dining table, and the voices of his family entered his ears.
"Thank you very much, Jenny."
"You're welcome, Mrs. Kent."
"Hey, can you get me the milk?"
"Of course, warm milk."
Eric stood before the dining table, looking at the extremely lavish breakfast, and his parents, Bart, and Jenny at the table.
"Hey, good morning!"
Jenny came over wearing an apron and holding a tray, smiling as she greeted him.
"When did you get here?"
Eric frowned and asked her.
"Earlier today. I thought I could help out. I used to love making breakfast for everyone at the Children's Home. Every Sunday we'd have pancake breakfast."
Jenny handed the pancake in her hand to Eric, "Teacher Eric, would you like to try it?"
"Jenny's cooking is good, just like your mother's."
Jonathan turned around and said to Eric.
Eric did not take the pancake, looked around the barn, which was as clean as new, and asked, "Bart, did you clean up again?"
"Actually, I did it."
Jenny said cautiously.
Shaking his head, Eric said directly to his parents, "It seems everyone is in a good mood today. Alright, Clark, come in!"
"Clark?!"
Hearing Clark's name, Martha put down the pancake in her hand, her face filled with astonishment.
"Creak!"
The barn door was pushed open, and Clark stood outside.
"Mom, Dad, I'm back!"
"Oh! Clark!"
Martha excitedly came over and hugged her eldest son, "That's great, Clark, you're finally back."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I apologize for all my previous actions."
"It's okay, as long as you're back."
Jonathan also stood up and walked to Clark's side.
Even though he was very emotional, he still restrained himself from losing composure.
"Clark, do you remember your previous memories?"
After the two finished embracing, Jonathan asked Clark.
"Yes, I remember everything, though it's a bit chaotic. Eric saved me; he made me Clark, not Kal-El."
Clark said with some complex emotions.
"This is a thorny path in your growth, Clark. Eric, your mother, and I, we will all help you. You even learned to fly; this is not an unproductive interlude for you."
Jonathan comforted Clark.
"I... I can't fly now. Kal-El flies, Clark Kent stands obediently on the ground."
Hearing Clark say he couldn't fly anymore, Jonathan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you still remember that feeling?"
"It was wonderful, and also terrifying, because if I could even fly, it felt like there was nothing in this world I couldn't do."
Clark explained to his father.
Jonathan sighed, patting Clark's head, "You have the ability to do anything, Clark."
"I don't like him!"
Bart looked at his family hugging each other and said somewhat unhappily, "Clark Kent, he's the person I dislike the most!"
Jenny said nothing; she was immersed in the emotion of the family reunion.
The next day.
Due to Akins' repeated urging, Eric had no choice but to attend school for a day.
After Jenny won the favor of his parents, she successfully enrolled in Smallville High School.
Bart was also forced into the school.
Eric didn't particularly care about this kind of thing.
Since it could make his parents happy, he didn't care about the money.
Since today was Technology Expo Visit Day, the school organized third-year students to visit some high-tech companies in Metropolis.
Although he felt indifferent, Eric, who had skipped many days of classes, could only follow the bus to Metropolis to ensure he graduated successfully.
Clark sat next to Eric, looking out the window with mixed emotions.
He was now incredibly troubled about how to explain what had happened before to Chloe and Lana.
Eric glanced back and saw a somewhat familiar figure—Dinah Crock.
The daughter of Sportsmaster and Tigress.
He heard she had been recovering in the hospital before and wondered when she had returned to school.
Dinah also saw Eric and Clark, and her expression immediately became tense.
Eric glanced at her, then ignored her.
The bus stopped on a large bridge because of a traffic accident ahead, forcing it to halt.
The bus door opened, and the driver was about to get out for a cigarette.
Dinah reached into her embrace with her right hand and walked step by step towards Eric.
As for Eric, he had already seen the dagger she was carrying in her embrace.
Raising his head and glancing at a car speeding from behind the bus, Eric used his Heat Vision to scald Dinah's hand.
In pain, the dagger immediately dropped from her embrace with a clatter, sliding along the open door and falling onto the ground outside.
Seeing the dagger she had prepared fall, the panicked Dinah immediately rushed out of the bus, ready to pick it up.
But at this moment, a speeding car rushed over.
The moment Dinah jumped off the bus, the car rushed in front of her, about to hit her!
Eric watched coldly as Dinah was about to die under the car.
