Chapter 003: Life Force
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第003章 生命气息
Lois was dead.
When she died, Metropolis also exploded, and far too many people perished in that explosion.
Shock, regret, anger, despair, fear, helplessness... too many emotions surged into his mind in an instant, overwhelming his nerves.
At that moment, he was nearly insane, and he hated the Joker, who had caused all this, to the very core of his being.
A person like that didn't deserve to live in this world.
So he returned from the atmosphere to Earth, found the Joker himself, and despite the阻拦 of his comrade Batman, he blasted a hole in the Joker's chest.
He broke his own bottom line and killed that scumbag with his own hands!!
From that moment on, he was no longer the great and righteous Superman.
And he also realized one thing: the world must have constraints, otherwise tragedies like the Joker's would happen again and again.
So with the help of Wonder Woman, he decided to use violence to enforce so-called justice and peace, to prevent past tragedies from recurring. He ventured deep into the war zone alone, captured the president of the military junta, and delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, demanding a global ceasefire, or else he would intervene.
Many people disapproved of his actions.
But he didn't care. As long as he could maintain world peace, he didn't mind what others said.
If anyone opposed him, he would crush them.
For instance, Aquaman of Atlantis publicly opposed his decisions, so he teamed up with a few companions, lifted the entire Atlantis from the seabed, and dumped it deep in the Sahara Desert. To protect his people, Aquaman, having witnessed Superman's immense power, could only surrender.
His actions earned him the admiration of countless people, and many superheroes joined his camp.
However, a faction of superheroes led by Batman began to oppose his policies and fight against him.
So he revealed Batman's identity, preventing him from returning to the Batcave, forcing him to wander outside like a lonely ghost.
He brought peace to the world.
But not long ago, he discovered that he had crossed over, leaving the DC world and entering a Marvel world.
In this world, he met a man named Thanos.
This man wanted to kill half of the universe's life to sustain the universe's operation.
He disapproved of Thanos's actions.
What he needed was world peace. For world peace, he was willing to rule the world with tyranny, but not through slaughter.
He did not shy away from using killing as a deterrent, but he would never kill half the population to maintain the so-called universe.
That was not salvation at all; it was mere slaughter.
In his view, such actions could not save anyone, so he naturally clashed with Thanos. Although Thanos was strong, he was no match for him.
He found the Infinity Stones before Thanos could collect them, ultimately defeated Thanos, took the Infinity Gauntlet, and erased Thanos.
Then, he attempted to use the power of the Infinity Gauntlet to return to his own world.
But he failed. He did not return to the DC world but came to another world.
...
To be honest, when these memories surged into Wang Bo's mind, he was almost assimilated by them, nearly forgetting that he was Wang Bo and truly believing himself to be Clark Kent.
A corrupted Superman, an Injustice Superman who ruled the world with tyranny.
Fortunately, Wang Bo's soul was strong, and he quickly digested these memories, stabilized his personality, and was not assimilated by them, managing to preserve his self.
"I mean, was it necessary to go this far?" Wang Bo said with a bitter smile. The cheat had not only taken away all his belongings, sealed most of his power, but even sealed his memories and implanted new ones.
It left Wang Bo in a sorry state.
[Of course it's necessary. You must understand that you are not dealing with an ordinary deity; no matter how careful you are, it's not excessive. But rest assured, these things are not gone, just taken away. When you complete the mission, they will be returned to you.]
Wang Bo remained silent.
[Alright, someone's coming. From now on, you are Injustice Superman. Good luck.]
With that, the cheat vanished without a trace.
Wang Bo snapped back to reality. As he walked out of the empty alley, he saw a man in a wide robe appear before him, blocking his path.
Wang Bo raised an eyebrow and tried to go around the man.
But the man blocked his way again.
"What do you want?" Wang Bo asked.
The man pulled down his hood, revealing an aged face, but his eyes were fixed on the Infinity Gauntlet in Wang Bo's hand. "Not long ago, I sensed a great Force."
Wang Bo naturally knew what the Force was. The Force was a supernatural and omnipresent mysterious power, an energy field created by all living things.
In a sense, the Force was the manifestation of life.
All things in the world possess the Force, but only a small number of people can sense it.
Wang Bo had just set the six Infinity Stones into the Infinity Gauntlet, which indeed triggered a powerful fluctuation, but he hadn't expected it to be perceived as a Force fluctuation by the people of this world.
However, Wang Bo was not surprised. Instead, he asked, "Who are you?"
The old man hesitated and said, "My name is Ben."
"Don't know you. But since you know the Force, are you a Jedi?" Wang Bo thought for a moment and realized that the Jedi he knew were few and far between.
The most famous were Luke Skywalker, the protagonist of Star Wars, then his master Yoda, and the protagonist's father, Darth Vader!
As for the rest of the Jedi, Wang Bo really didn't know.
Oh, right, there was also Rey, the heroine of Episode VII, and Kylo Ren, the main villain of the First Order, who seemed to be Luke Skywalker's grandson.
Other than that, Wang Bo's impression of Jedi was too limited.
This probably had to do with him not having watched the earlier Star Wars films; besides the protagonist, he knew too few people.
Who this Ben was, Wang Bo really didn't know.
The old man looked at Wang Bo a few times and said firmly, "You are not a Jedi."
Wang Bo nodded. "Of course I'm not a Jedi."
"Although you are not a Jedi, I sense a powerful life force within you. I have never seen such a strong life force; even the Jedi are not as strong as you. Are you really human?"
The old man said in amazement.
