[Superman] Chapter 64: The Moon's Lament
🕑 Added 2024-01-12 07:22:29 +0000 UTCAt this moment, upon finding out the Lizardman was her own father, although Gwen felt surprised her father wasn't dead, though,
The next moment, looking at her Lizardman father suppressed by the other monster, blood seeping from his body continuously, her heart was filled with a bad feeling again.
"No, don't give me hope again just to make me despair!"
She used up her last bit of strength, rushing towards the two battling monsters.
However, her previous burst of potential had completely pushed her body to its limits.
If not for her worry about her father, she would have long fainted from exhaustion.
Staggering forward, her speed so slow she was slower than an ordinary person even.
......
Although both were monsters transformed using serums, the origins of the serums for the two monsters were different.
The Lizardman's serum was an ordinary one made by Professor Connors using lizard DNA.
Although it could give humans tremendous power and transform into Lizardman, it had a fatal side effect.
That was, after transforming into Lizardman, the human genes would gradually collapse, and ultimately die completely.
So at this moment, Chief George was undoubtedly trading his life for the lives of others.
"Luckily, my sacrifice was worth it."
While feeling the extreme pain of his genes continuously collapsing in his body, Chief George finally saw Spider-Woman live up to expectations, successfully saving a train full of passengers.
At this moment, though he would die, he had no regrets.
Knowing he wouldn't live past transforming, Chief George didn't mind his body continuously injured by the monster. He fought the monster in front of him desperately.
Trading wound for wound, life for life!
"Hope after I die, it'll be easier for them to subdue this monster."
Before his consciousness faded away, Chief George only had this one belief.
Gradually, the side effects brought by the regeneration serum became more and more obvious.
The gene chains in his body kept collapsing.
That feeling of tremendous power filling his body was also disappearing gradually.
Boom!
Finally, Chief George could no longer resist the monster with greater power before him. He was punched hard in the chest.
Crack!
His ribcage instantly shattered. It was as if a hand had clutched his heart directly.
His whole body was sent flying nearly a hundred meters, landing right in front of the staggering Gwen.
"No!"
Gwen cried unwillingly, her footsteps suddenly sped up, but her powerless legs made her trip and fall to the ground directly.
She ignored it, crawling forward with hands and feet towards the Lizardman fallen in the pool of blood ahead.
Finally, Gwen crawled to the Lizardman's side.
She didn't mind the Lizardman looking very ugly, his body covered in nauseating green blood.
Gwen used all her strength to hug him in her arms.
Then for the first time in front of others, she took off her spider mask with her own hands.
"Gwen...so it really is you..."
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Chief George saw his daughter, as if he was in a dream.
"Father, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to deceive you..."
Gwen's eyes filled with tears, full of helplessness and grief.
"Cough...it's alright...Gwen..."
Coughing out blood, George's face was serene.
"No...I can't...die as a monster..."
Seeing his beloved kin in the last moments before death seemed to ignite an extremely powerful will in George.
He didn't want to die in the monster form in front of his most beloved daughter.
Instantly, the body that had transformed into a lizard form started regressing gradually, slowly turning back into a normal human.
With difficulty raising his arm, looking at himself turning from a monster back into a normal human, there was no more regret in George's eyes.
"My dear...Gwen, what you did...was right, with greater the power..... comes the greater the responsibility...."
His affectionate gaze affirmed everything Gwen had done previously for the first time.
Roar!
However, just as he was about to utter that supreme sentence.
An untimely roar interrupted him.
The next moment, the ignored monster in the distance suddenly charged at them.
"Gwen...run!"
At this critical moment, worry for his daughter actually ignited George's last bit of strength.
Slowly getting up, with a human body, he fearlessly faced the incoming monster.
The weak moonlight shone on George's not tall figure, adding a touch of sorrow.
His hunched back made Gwen feel he was extremely majestic.
"Father...don't!"
Gwen's unwilling cry seemed to have worked.
Just as the monster was about to charge her father, a figure instantly appeared before them.
The oppressive figure was like a merciful god at this moment.
The fluttering cape seemed able to dispel all fear.
"Alright, I'm not that heartless in the end..."
With a light punch, the incoming monster was punched into a bloody mist instantly. Peter turned slowly, looking at George and Gwen!
"Great..."
Seeing Superman arrive, George instantly lost his last bit of will, collapsing to the ground.
The wan moonlight shone on his mangled body, as if the moon was lamenting for him too.
"Father..."
At this moment, Gwen didn't have the joy of seeing Superman defeat the monster at all, only the grief of losing her father.
"For you, it might have side effects, whether to use it or not, it's up to you."
Peter's expression was calm as he watched everything, in the end he still couldn't bear it, and took out a vial glowing green, tossing it in front of Gwen.
Then he dashed into the clouds without hesitation, disappearing from sight.
"This is..."
Gwen picked up the glowing vial from the ground, wanting to ask what this was exactly.
But when she raised her head, Superman's figure was long gone.
"Side effects?"
Looking at the vial in her hand, then her father's "corpse", Gwen's gaze instantly became determined.
Slowly raising her hand...
......
At the same time, Peter who had disappeared reappeared in a deserted desert in less than ten seconds.
However, the desert that had been uninhabited for hundreds of kilometers originally.
At this moment under his feet, there was a huge military base occupying a massive ground area.
"Those below, put down everything in your hands immediately, leave the perimeter of the base."
"Remember, you only have ten minutes. Don't try to take any research data, or face the consequences!"
In the base, everyone heard an authoritative voice in their ears.
It instantly threw the entire military base into turmoil.
"Who is it? Daring to break into our base?"
A general with white hair, and a physique like a bear, questioned the soldiers under him.
"General, it seems to be...Superman."
His men saw the figure above the base through satellites and detection equipment.
"General, what should we do now?"
Hearing it was Superman, all the soldiers present fell silent.
"Do as he said, organize everyone to evacuate quickly, protect those researchers."
The general pondered with an extremely serious expression, then gave orders reluctantly.
"And remember, no one is to take any research materials..."
