My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

Diana led Eric out of the stable and into a wider space.

Various caves and various paths are carved out of the intricate walls.

As the two continued to approach, various haggard human beings walked out of the cave.

They were wearing tattered clothes, standing there listlessly, looking at Eric and Diana below with empty eyes.

Elderly people, children, and women holding babies are all sallow and emaciated.

Like refugees on the way to escape from the famine.

"There's about a hundred thousand people down here, look at them, Eric. I know you, you must be thinking about saving all the people up there. But..."

She shook her head slightly, her voice was extremely low, "There is almost nothing left on it, and no one wants to go with us. After we failed them..."

Diana continued to walk with Eric, leaving the place where the residents lived, and came to a semicircular raised space.

In the huge space, there was the sound of rushing water.

That seems to be where the groundwater passes.

After entering this space, Eric found a huge architecturally carved boulder, half of which fell into the water, and the upper half of which faintly revealed the letters of "justice".

That seems to be... the halls of the Justice League?

"Diana, is that from the Justice League...?"

"right."

Diana walked to the water's edge and stared at the stone carvings in the foyer, "When the Justice League Hall was built, I still remember my mood at that time, the living room or the exercise room? Neither was included in my plan, I was determined to first Building a public church where people can continue their faith...isn't that the most important thing?"

She thought of happy things, and a smile appeared on her tired face.

"So... what the hell happened and how did the villains win? Diana."

"Not a villain, Eric."

"Who else could it be?"

"It's everyone else!"

Diana turned and looked at Eric,

Youyoudao came to the truth.

"It happened on a Thursday when Lex Luthor was on all the screens and gave a speech to everyone in the world. 'Everything is falling apart,' he said. 'The world is warming, resources are running out, Power tightens its grip...you can feel it, as I do, but our leaders just say that good people get good things'."

Diana watched the gurgling water, and her voice gradually became lower. She imitated Lex Luthor's tone, "Listen to me, kindness is the oldest lie in the world. Some people say that being a good person can lead to a beautiful life. In your garden, you can see the truth by eating an apple. But I say this: eat as many apples as you like!"

"Clark (Superman) tried to stop him, but..."

"But what?" Eric pressed Diana.

"People chose to destroy, Eric. Those who were supposed to be protected by us knocked us down one by one. Finally, we had a final meeting in the hall to discuss where we should go. Should we go to war or leave forever?"

Diana seemed to feel a little tired, she stopped, and after a while, she said quietly: "But Batman, he thinks that people should be accepted, maybe even given superpowers, that's the only way for us to win, so he opened door."

"superpower?"

Eric didn't quite understand how Batman endowed people with superpowers.

"It's Compound No. 5!"

Diana uttered a word that did not surprise Eric, "The bottle of Compound No. 5 that you gave me was inadvertently known by Batman. He stole Compound No. 5 from me and conducted research on it. .In the end, he developed the No. 5 compound that can be given to all ordinary people—he named it the God Gene Medicine!"

"I still underestimated Batman. Even though we were comrades in arms, he still guarded against me and installed bugging equipment in my living room. By the time I found out that Compound 5 was stolen, it was too late."

Not only did Diana feel hopeless about this terrible world, but she also felt resentful and disgusted with herself.

If it was not for his own reasons, Batman would not have come into contact with Compound No. 5, and if he had not come into contact with Compound No. 5, he would not have produced the God Gene Potion, and without the God Gene Potion, he would not have given superpowers to the people!

All origins and sins are related to oneself.

As if seeing Diana's remorse and pain, Eric stepped forward and gently held her cold hand.

"You don't have to blame yourself, Diana, it's none of your business. Even without Compound Five, Batman would still find a way to give superpowers to the populace."

Feeling the warmth bestowed on her by Eric's palm, Diana's emotions recovered a little.

She raised her head and continued to tell Eric the story of what happened next.

"After the door of the Justice League lobby was opened, the crowd poured in. First they tore Batman apart, then Arthur (Aquaman), Oliver (Green Arrow), Dana (Black Canary)... ...I heard their screams, but I couldn't stop it."

Diana's tone became more and more serious.

"Luthor thought he could win...until the people turned against him, and his villains. Like he said, 'Eat all the apples'! That was hell, Arie gram."

Diana moved closer to Eric's chest, as if she wanted to feel more warmth.

"Then, out of the chaos, a new evil rose up, calling themselves Omega, the worst existence yet. The surviving superheroes united with the villains and planned to fight him together. All of us, unfold It was a final battle. But we lost, he was incredibly strong, he had the Anti-Life Equation, and he used it to dominate the East Coast."

When it comes to the word Omega, Diana still has lingering fears.

"There are rumors that Omega has just found a way to enhance the Anti-Life Equation hundreds of times, and he can use him to control every creature on the planet. He can be activated anytime and anywhere now, and now he can't hide even here."

Diana raised her head and looked at Eric who was in deep thought. "We are heading deeper into the underworld. The surviving superheroes and those with good intentions are heading towards the underworld together to avoid his control."

Eric gently hugged the cold Diana into his arms, letting her feel his warmth.

"So you've been working so hard! Forgive me, Diana, I can't accompany you through all this chaotic nightmare. But..."

He said in a firm tone: "Just as you know me, I will not leave the remaining human beings on the ground alone. No matter how powerful Omega is, I will not give up on them. No matter how powerful his rule is, I will not leave them alone." Will surrender and watch humans being enslaved by him!"
