I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 434 It's You Who Sacrifice Yourself for Others

"What about you? You're not in a good condition right now."

The God of Martial Arts did not agree immediately, but asked a question in return.

King smiled bitterly, "It's good for me now. At least I have the ability to save the world. I'm a social phobic anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I go out or not..."

To outsiders, King seemed so weird because he always had no expression on his face and never spoke a word.

It's all about the price King paid to unlock the limiter.

His consciousness and body were in a strange state of separation.

This allows him to control his body's movements from a God's perspective, similar to the way players control game characters.

But the price is that from now on King can only observe the outside world like looking at a game scene.

Lost synchronization with the body and unable to directly gain sensory experience.

Just like players cannot interfere with game characters and make them do things beyond the game mechanics.

King also cannot make the game characters show expressions, react, speak, etc.

He only has one game controller, after all.

There are no dialog boxes, no keyboard or mouse.

By performing secret techniques and gaining forbidden powers, King transformed himself into a [human puppet].

From now on, I can only live in silence with a blank expression.

King is very open-minded about this.

At least he is now a hero that everyone can truly rely on.

He can use his power to protect everyone.

What does a mere cost count for?

……

"Since you have made up your mind, then fine, I will fulfill your wish."

The God of Martial Arts waved his hand, and the spiritual space around King suddenly switched to the scene of the outside world.

King was surprised. He saw the universe where he had just fought, the broken Jupiter, and the shining sun suspended in the universe.

The dark starry sky suddenly turned into brilliant gold, and an indescribable invisible force instantly filled the universe.

King felt warmth and peace of mind from this power, and his heart became involuntarily calm, as if his soul had been healed.

A feeling like being embraced by both father and mother.

He seemed to have turned back into the child who was loved and protected by his parents. Even the air he breathed was filled with love, and he felt an incomparable sense of security.

In this brilliant golden light, the shattered Saturn and its satellites quickly reassembled and recovered.

After just a few breaths, it was back to normal.

There was a flash of white light, and thousands of streams of light quickly passed by him. King followed the God of Martial Arts to another part of the solar system.

A beautiful blue planet was rotating quietly beneath their feet.

The earth...she is so beautiful.

King could see the landmasses on the Earth's surface, the city blocks.

He suddenly discovered that there were no signs of meteorite impacts on the cities on Earth.

Is it...

"Yes, I lied to you."

The God of Martial Arts waved his hand, and dozens of light screens appeared in front of the two of them, showing the current situation of various cities on the earth.

There are also many S-class heroes and scenes of the United Government carrying out cleansing of scum and disaster relief operations on Earth.

King felt relieved, it turned out that everyone was fine.

The heroes who "died" in the previous game are still there, safe and sound, fighting monsters on Earth.

King pointed at the various monsters in the picture that looked very powerful and asked, "Did you make these?"

The God of Martial Arts shook his head.

"Of course not. I'm not that bored. There are other people behind these monsters."

"We'll talk about this later... King, actually, I lied to you about one thing..."

The martial arts god's call of "King" gave King an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Why did it sound so familiar? What was going on?

But the God of Martial Arts smiled, reached out and touched his face, and suddenly he changed into another appearance.

A bald old man with a shiny beard and a somewhat wretched appearance.

King's eyes suddenly widened.

"Teacher Wu Tian?!"

It’s not over yet. At this moment, the bald old man smiled again and turned into a sunny and handsome young man.

King's mouth opened so wide that he couldn't close it.

"you you--"

Shocked, surprised, confused, and bewildered, King's brain froze at that moment because the impact was too great.

The handsome young man smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, King. I didn't mean to lie to you."

"If you don't do this, you won't be able to realize your potential."

King came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Hong with a complicated expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? The God of Martial Arts? Master Roshi? Or Zhang Hong?"

Zhang Hong answered seriously: "I am Zhang Hong. Master Roshi and the God of Martial Arts are just pseudonyms for performances."

King was a little angry: "Why? Why did you do this!"

After the shock, the first thing he felt was sadness, the betrayal by a good friend.

Zhang Hong showed no guilt on his face. He pointed at the S-class heroes fighting on the screen and replied calmly, "King, look at them."

King subconsciously looked over and listened to his explanation.

"After training in the world's number one martial arts tournament, the heroes have grown in both spirit and ability, and are now able to truly shoulder the responsibilities of a hero."

"It's not about half-heartedly saving the world as it was before."

"Look at them, look at them, haven't they been completely transformed compared to before?"

King looked at it carefully and found that everyone had undergone tremendous changes, just as Zhang Hong said.

His expression softened a bit, but he still had a resentful tone. "Then you don't have to use such a drastic method... Can't you use a gentler method... No, wait, who are you? Why do you have such an incredible ability?"

"Are you...really a god?!"

Zhang Hong laughed, "If we go by common standards, my abilities are indeed no different from those of gods, and even much stronger than your local gods."

Popular standards? Local gods?

Zhang Hong's answer confused King.

"But, in fact, I am just a human who has gained great power. There is no essential difference between me and you, King."

"As for why I'm doing so many things... King, didn't you just ask me where all these monsters came from on Earth?"

King perked up and looked serious.

"Actually, this is related to the cosmic laws of your world. Whether it's the birth of monsters, disasters, or the superpowers of heroes... they are all related to it."

Zhang Hong explained, turned around and looked somewhere in the distant starry sky.

King followed his gaze and saw a pale planet floating in space - it was the moon.

Zhang Hong looked back at King and smiled.

"I won't keep you in suspense. I'll take you to see it with your own eyes later."

you?

"Let's finish the things on Earth first..."

Zhang Hong waved his hand gently.

The speed of the earth's rotation beneath the two people suddenly increased, and the scene of the S-class hero and the monster fighting on the light screen was suddenly fast-forwarded hundreds of times.

King looked horrified and shocked.

This is, time acceleration?!

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed on Earth. The monsters that were ravaging the world were all killed by the heroes and the mechanical army, and the situation on Earth was completely under control.

Zhang Hong waved his hand again, and the flow of time on Earth returned to normal.

White light flashed, and thousands of human figures appeared in the space in front of the two people.
