Reborn as Superman's Son, Ch 37

"They're all Viltrumites?!"

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

"How could there be so many Viltrumites in the universe?!"

"I know exactly how many Viltrumites exist in the universe!"

Nolanne stared in utter shock at the massive Invincible army filling the sky, her eyes filled with deep disbelief.

Even during the Viltrum Empire's heyday, the empire could only field this many soldiers at most.

"So you're this world's Nolan?!"

"What the fuck—this world's Nolan is actually a woman?"

"No wonder our counterpart in this world had no psychological burden about killing our father!"

Leading this massive Invincible army was a Mark who wore the Viltrum Emperor's uniform but looked unusually young.

When the young Emperor Mark saw Nolanne's appearance, he immediately showed an expression of disbelief. He finally understood why Eden had no psychological burden about killing Nolan.

After all, Eden only had a mother named Nolanne—not a father named Nolan.

"Obviously, they're not Viltrumites from our universe."

Clark said this as he gently patted Nolanne's shoulder and smiled. "Go order our drinks, count to a hundred, and by then everything will be over."

"They're from other universes? I see!"

Nolanne's face showed sudden realization.

Yes, Nolanne was only shocked by the sheer number of Viltrumites, but she wasn't worried about those Invincibles' threats at all.

Nolanne looked at Clark beside her with an odd expression and asked in a calm tone, "By the way, Clark! What do you want to drink?"

"Beer, Nolanne. Beer."

Clark answered with a slight smile.

"Got it."

Nolanne nodded firmly, indicating she understood. Then she completely ignored the Invincibles filling the sky and headed to the café she and Clark frequented.

Nolanne seemed to have complete confidence in her husband Clark's abilities.

"Alright, boys. I'll play with you for a bit."

As Clark spoke, he immediately took flight, rising to join the group of Marks. His gaze swept around him before he shook his head. "Unfortunately, boys! I can't treat you as my son's counterparts from other universes."

"In fact, Eden is unique across the entire omniverse."

Clark's tone carried a hint of pride.

"Don't worry. We won't treat you as our father either."

The hostile Invincibles crossed their arms behind their backs, tilted their heads, and examined Clark with scrutinizing looks before shaking their heads. "You're just an Earth human with some powers. You can't possibly reach a level comparable to us Viltrumites."

"Haha."

Clark laughed without saying anything.

At that moment, the leading Emperor Mark interrupted the others' chatter. He flew directly in front of Clark and said coldly, "The reason we came to this universe to find trouble with you! It's because your son Eden first went to our universes and killed our fathers."

"So you're here for revenge? Looks like your father-son relationships aren't bad?"

Clark raised an eyebrow and spoke in a casual, conversational tone.

"No!"

"We only hate that bastard Eden because he killed that old dog before we could do it ourselves!!"

In response, Emperor Mark showed a strange smile. His eyes filled with bloodthirst and madness as he said coldly.

"Hahaha!"

"That guy is so naive and adorable!"

"He actually thinks our relationships with our fathers are good?"

"I wish I could have slaughtered him myself!"

"Just like I personally slaughtered my mother Debbie."

"Oh, those were such wonderful memories!"

"I can still remember Debbie's look of disbelief even now."

The group of Invincibles immediately began chattering.

Yes, they were here to deal with Eden not because they hated Eden for killing their fathers Nolan, but because they hated that Eden had stolen their prey.

Who were they?!

They were the beast Invincibles!

"You really are a bunch of beasts."

Seeing this, Clark said helplessly.

"It's been so long since anyone called me a beast!"

"Listen, Clark Kent! We beasts will leave you with nothing—kill you, your wife Nolanne, your son Eden, then destroy the entire Earth and slaughter the universe. Just as I did in my own."

Emperor Mark's face bore a confident and bloodthirsty smile as he pressed close to Clark and said coldly.

"Foolish."

"You shouldn't have threatened me with my wife and son."

Clark's expression suddenly turned cold, losing its earlier relaxation. His eyes also turned crimson red in that moment.

"So what if I threaten you..."

Emperor Mark still hadn't sensed the danger.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Then, in almost an instant, before Emperor Mark could finish his words, his eyes along with his brain were pierced through by crimson heat vision.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately after, Emperor Mark's corpse tore through the air and plummeted toward the ground.

"..."

In that instant, the entire Invincible army fell into strange chaos due to Emperor Mark's death.

"Thud!"

Only when Emperor Mark's corpse completely crashed into the ground with a 'piercing' sound.

Did those Invincibles finally change their expressions and turn their heads in shock. "That's impossible! How the fuck could he be this powerful?!"

"Is this really the level of an Earth human? He's on a completely different level!!"

The Invincibles finally felt the gap in power. Before Clark, they were no different from the most ordinary Earth humans.

"Alright, now the game you've chosen officially begins."

Clark looked expressionlessly at the Invincibles filling the sky. Crimson light released from his eyes like a scarlet scythe, continuously reaping the Invincibles' lives.

Ground level.

Inside the café.

"Your coffee is ready."

The waitress brought the steaming hot coffee to Nolanne.

"Thank you."

Nolanne smiled and nodded, taking the coffee and the chilled beer and sitting by the window.

"Slurp~"

Nolanne took a light sip of coffee and looked outside through the bright window.

"Splat! Splat! Splat!!"

Outside the window, countless corpses fell from the sky like a scarlet rain, splattering the glass in front of her with blood.

"There goes my good mood."

Seeing this, Nolanne couldn't help but shake her head.

"Ding dong!"

"Welcome!"

At the same time, accompanied by the waitress's welcome, Clark—who had changed into a clean suit and was holding a black and white towel, gently wiping his hands—walked right in and sat down beside Nolanne.

"After finishing work, having a glass of cold beer really is wonderful."

Clark picked up the beer and drank it in large gulps.

"Watch your image, Clark."

"And you got the street all dirty."

Nolanne said with some dissatisfaction.

"My bad, my bad!"

Clark laughed, looking at Nolanne with eyes full of affection.

"Let's raise a glass to our great Superman Clark!"

At that moment, inside the café, the customers who thought the commotion wasn't big enough and hadn't gone to shelters, along with the café staff, all raised their beers in their hands to salute Clark.

Seriously, in this world, what shelter could be safer than staying beside Earth's two greatest heroes?!

"Cheers!"

Clark raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Meanwhile.

Outside.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by wave after wave of spatial fluctuations, fully armed Defense Agency soldiers came over to collect the corpses and clean up the mess.

"Much cleaner now."

When Nolanne turned around again, the glass in front of her and the street were much cleaner.

New York.

Besides the Invincible army that surrounded Nolanne and Clark, this was the biggest disaster zone.

Thousands of Invincibles flew in the sky, their dark mass inspiring dread.

"Can we win?!"

In the Guardians' Second Team, Monster Girl looked at the countless Invincibles in the sky and couldn't help but ask.

"Definitely not!"

Rex Splode answered without any confidence.

"Maybe you should still run? I'll stay here to cover your retreat. As you can see, I can make duplicates."

Dupli-Kate was somewhat panicked.

She felt that if they didn't let Rex Splode and others leave now, they'd have no chance to leave at all.

"Hell no. Running isn't my style. Don't worry, I've got a backup plan"

Rex Splode pressed his lips together. As he spoke, he put on the nanotech suit prepared by Robot and began calling in drones to provide him with large-scale equipment support.

"Look at you all fighting over who gets to be the rear guard, as if we're all going to die here."

"We're a team! We live together, we die together!"

At that moment, Atom Eve descended from the sky and looked at Kate, Rex Splode, and Monster Girl, saying as much.

"Let's go together!"

"Alright!"

In an instant, the Guardians' Second Team seemed to complete a transformation. Everyone rallied their spirits, determined to have a decisive battle with the Invincibles in the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Until the sound of breaking air rang in everyone's ears!

A Mark wearing a white uniform descended from the sky and with one punch sent Monster Girl flying, knocking her out of her beast form.

"Hey!"

"Monster Girl? Whoa, you're still this young? In my world, you eventually devolved into a baby and starved to death because there was no milk."

The white-uniformed Mark grabbed Monster Girl by the hair and lifted her up, saying cheerfully.

"Let go of Monster Girl!"

At that moment, Rex Splode in his combat suit rushed at Mark and swung his fist, hammering it hard into Mark's face.

"Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, Mark was blasted away by Rex Splode, unconsciously loosening his grip on Monster Girl's hair.

"I've got you."

Atom Eve took the opportunity to catch the flying Monster Girl.

"Who are you?! You don't exist in my world!"

The white-clad Mark steadied himself and looked at his empty left hand, then raised his head to look at the armored Rex Splode.

"I'm your daddy!"

Rex Splode roared back.

"Seeking death!"

Mark's expression changed. He charged directly at Rex Splode, punching through Rex Splode's nanotech suit with one blow and yanking him out of the armor.

"Who do I think it is? Oh, it's that coward Rex Splode! You learned something clever in this world—put a turtle shell over yourself? But you're still as cowardly as ever. In my world, you didn't even fight and just ran away. What a complete coward! Hahaha..."

Mark mocked Rex Splode. He seemed to remember the scene from his own world where he continuously chased Rex Splode and crushed the members of the Guardians one by one right in front of him. That was truly wonderful.

But when Mark thought about how he could play the chase game again in this world, he felt even better.

"You beast!"

"Let go of Rex Splode!"

"Get out of our universe!"

At that moment, Atom Eve used her ability to create a giant fist and slammed it toward Mark.

"Ugh!"

The white-clad Mark let out a muffled grunt and was sent flying backward. He tumbled through the air several times before finally stabilizing himself. He raised his head to look at Atom Eve and sneered coldly. "Among the Guardians, you're the one I hate most! I'm going to turn you into meatloaf."

"Bam!"

In just one exchange, the white-clad Mark sent Atom Eve flying.

Atom Eve crashed directly into the ground, blood continuously spilling from her mouth.

In fact, Atom Eve had already given herself defensive enhancements. If she had taken Mark's punch without any preparation, she would have been smashed into pulp long ago.

"Die!"

"Urgh~!"

Just as the white-clad Mark was sneering and walking toward the collapsed Atom Eve, casually slapping several of Kate's duplicates to death and bending down to look at Atom Eve's bleeding body, planning to do something, his expression suddenly changed and he began retching uncontrollably.

Then, a spear made of cosmic alloy pierced straight through the white-clad Mark's head.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, Shrinking Rae suddenly enlarged and appeared before everyone.

"Shrinking Rae?!"

When the collapsed Atom Eve, the beaten Monster Girl, and Kate—who'd had dozens of duplicates killed by the shockwave—saw Shrinking Rae arrive, they all breathed sighs of relief.

"Fuck!"

"Who taught you to fight like that?"

But just as everyone relaxed, the white-clad Mark with a spear through his skull climbed straight up from the ground. He glared at Shrinking Rae with hatred in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to tear her apart.

"That didn't kill him?"

"Impossible!"

"Is he Immortal Man?"

At that moment, the members of the Guardians' Second Team truly felt the fearsome vitality of the Invincibles.

Not only were their defense, strength, and speed at crushing levels—even their vitality was overwhelming.

At that moment, Monster Girl, Atom Eve, Kate, Rex Splode, and Shrinking Rae stood together, facing off against the Mark with a huge hole in his head.

"Ahh!"

Immediately after, the members of the Guardians' Second Team and the white-clad Mark all let out furious roars. They charged at each other with savage expressions, preparing to begin their final life-or-death struggle.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Just then, a dazzling crimson light descended from the sky, precisely hitting the white-clad Mark and burning the unkillable Mark directly into charcoal.

In the sky.

"Perfect shot."

Eden looked down at the Mark he'd incinerated with heat vision and said as much.

"Boom!"

After burning the white-clad Mark to death, Eden immediately took flight again, chasing after the group of Marks he'd beaten into retreat.
