Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 382



[Chapter 382 Famous People in the Multiverse]

Clark enjoys his ordinary life now. Besides, he continues to be Superman in his own world.

Although he became the representative of the Avengers on Earth inexplicably, he found that after having such a strange identity, he did have fewer troubles. The reporters who used to find faults became more polite in the media, and the politicians were even more smiling.

For example, in the past, when he saved someone, there would always be people who would talk about nationality, economic losses, etc., but now these news seemed to have disappeared.

Occasionally, when it was mentioned, it would be mercilessly ridiculed by many people, as if they were helping him to scold the person who provoked the incident.

This situation allowed him to focus more on the matter of “helping others”. He smiled more and more, and his whole body was emitting dazzling light like the sun.

Of course, Clark would constantly attract people to watch, not because he was handsome.

After many people knew that the Kryptonians had come to Winter City, they realized that Superman had also come to Winter City.

As a representative of superheroes, Superman’s name resounds throughout the multiverse. Even the mutants next door know his name. Many people can even say that they grew up “watching Superman’s various works”.

So when people who came to Winter City from the world of The Walking Dead, the world of X-Men, and even the world of Resident Evil knew that Superman was coming, they almost regarded Clark’s newly opened “Kent Farm” as a famous tourist attraction, and all they lacked was a tour guide holding a small flag and a loudspeaker.

This situation made Clark very embarrassed, and he didn’t know how to persuade them to leave.

Say you are wrong? I am not the so-called Superman?

Clark was very worried that the other party would directly pull out a comic book, point at the person on it and say to him, “Don’t pretend, we all know your disguised identity.”

In the end, he had no choice but to hide in David’s Castle Glamorgan, and then ran into Ethan Hunt, who was also often watched recently.

Regarding the experience of these two people, David could only comfort them with one sentence: “It will be fine after a while.”

It was just a momentary curiosity, and with the development of Winter City and the various strange things that can be seen everywhere, people will no longer have such a big reaction.

As for the latecomers, they will be surprised, but seeing that the people around them are all normal, they will not show too much.

Because most people do not want to be an outlier in the eyes of their compatriots.

In comparison, David is more curious about what Ethan thinks after realizing his “true identity”?

It seems that Ethan does not care about these things?

“In fact, I have noticed it a long time ago.” Ethan is a professional intelligence officer after all, even if the world he lives in is relatively “early” and he cannot collect relevant clues in his own world.

But as long as you are attentive, you can find enough information in Winter City: especially when Ethan is engaged in purchasing on behalf of others, he has contact with almost everyone in Winter City, and the other party is not wary of him.

“Look, this is the important reason why I want you to be the instructor of intelligence officers.”

After chatting for a while, Ethan took the lead to say goodbye and leave.

Since you have accepted this job, you must do your best! Ethan is not the kind of person who fools around after taking the money.

At the same time, he also thinks this is the biggest opportunity in his life, and he is also very curious about what kind of new life he will get from now on?

He will definitely not repeat his original life trajectory. From the moment he stepped into Winter City, his future has been changed. He is very sure of this.

Ethan chose to accept David’s recruitment, and he may have wanted to break the established future.

Clark didn’t think so much. He was enjoying the happiest and most trouble-free time in his life.

There is no sorrow in life; he can use his power as Superman to help those in need; he and Lois Lane have become much closer, and they are only a step away from confirming their relationship.

For Clark, the only problem is how to keep the secret of Winter City from Lois. After all, this secret involves not only himself, but a large group of people. He can’t make a decision casually.

Lois’s identity as a reporter is too sensitive. She originally pursued him to reveal Superman’s true identity.

I tried to ask David, and the result was: “If you believe her, then I believe her too.”

Lois Lane in the movie universe is a more sober person, and she will not ignore it for some “must make a big news”.

No matter Clark or her boss ‘Morpheus’, after saying something, Lois could immediately realize the seriousness of the problem and decisively give up the report.

David was not worried that such a clear-headed person would cause irreparable trouble.

“By the way, didn’t that smart guy who always thinks that humans are no worse than others and always wants to prove something do anything against you?”

“Are you referring to Lex Luthor? Or the other one?”

“The other one should still be making a plan. He won’t take action until you really do something that threatens the earth.” In the original plot, Batman kept targeting Superman because of Lex Luthor’s secret instigation, and there were also some personal grudges mixed in.

Now that Superman and Zod have not fought on Earth, and have not caused such great damage in front of Batman, Batman’s impression of Superman is relatively neutral.

Especially since it also involves David, the “Avengers member in charge of the Earth’s jurisdiction”, and directly involves the high-level civilization forces in the universe, Batman will not rashly take action directly, but will continue to lurk in the dark.

But Lex Luthor, no matter which version he is, will always cause trouble for Superman.

“Lex Luthor seems to be planning something in secret, but it shouldn’t be a threat.”

Clark not only dismantled the spaceship that Zod and his companions were riding on and transported it to Winter City in batches, but also drove his own spaceship to the back of the moon.

With the technological level of the Earth in that world, it is very difficult to reach the back of the moon.

Without various Kryptonian technologies and kryptonite targeting himself, Lex Luthor has few ways to threaten himself, or even none.

Provoking other superheroes to oppose himself? That is not an easy thing, especially since he is now the guardian of the Earth.

“That’s good…” David reminded Clark to get some sun when he was free. After all, his world would face the threat of Steppenwolf and Darkseid, and this war was inevitable.

Even if Superman didn’t die, as long as the Mother Box was still on Earth, the war would be a matter of time.

“By the way.”

“What?”

“Is there any information about your cousin?”

“You mean Kara?”

Clark shook his head. After knowing his identity and various settings, he also specifically searched for relevant information and asked his father who had become an artificial intelligence, but the answer he got was: he did have a cousin named Kara. But is Kara alive or dead? It’s not clear where she is.

For this reason, he even asked Zod, who said that he had searched in the universe for a while, and the only Kryptonian he found was Clark.

In other words, the Kara in his universe is likely to have turned into dust in the universe together with Krypton.

David sighed inwardly that it was a pity. If Clark’s universe also had Kara, his cousin would be more likely to be left in Winter City for a long time than he was.

Now if he wants to poach this super girl, he can only go to other parallel universes to do it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Clark also said goodbye and left.

David sat in the garden for a while, and stood up and returned to the Glamorgan Castle after watching the sun gradually set.

Eating, chatting, handling official business, practicing, and sparring with Sofia, Helen, Eva, Laura, Gwen and others became David’s daily routine during this period.

Occasionally, he gave instructions to Anduin and Wanda, and when he was bored, he went to Kamar-Taj to see how Steve taught Doctor Strange.

As time passed quickly, David was also waiting for the end of the progress of those plans that were constantly advancing.

During this period, he also chatted with Abelson. The King of Tilan, who knew the date of his abdication in advance without knowing it, did not show any dissatisfaction with his “abdication”, but looked forward to the arrival of that day earlier than David.

His Majesty, the current King of the Kingdom of Tilan, has realized that many interesting things will happen after that day, including the highlight he most wants to see: Winter City’s counterattack against the Temple, or the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt!

Although he still had to wait for more than a year, it didn’t matter. He would definitely be able to see the destruction of the temple in his lifetime, and that was enough!

After finishing all aspects, David once again entered a regular and stable daily state, so stable that he could hardly notice the passage of time.

If Mark Watney hadn’t suddenly appeared, he wouldn’t even have realized that so much time had passed.

“Hahahahaha, I’m back!”

Standing on the busy street with his hands spread out, Mark Watney laughed up to the sky for three seconds, and then began to feel a little embarrassed in the eyes of countless people around him who looked at him like a fool.

Looking around, he confirmed that the outer wall of the Glamorgan Castle was next to him, and the familiar Holy Light Cathedral was not far away. He should not have been in the wrong world.

But why are there so many people on the street?

Looking into the distance, countless houses have been built in the city, and there are almost no vacant homesteads; looking to the east and south, it is also difficult to see the empty plains.

I have only been away for about a year, right? Winter City has developed so fast? If I come back a few months later, will I not even be able to find the way to the Glamorgan Castle?
