[Superman] Chapter 55: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky!
🕑 Added 2024-01-10 08:21:21 +0000 UTC"Dear audience friends, we meet again."
"Today... Oh my god, Superman really came."
"Wait... Unbelievable, he easily lifted up the Statue of Liberty, what is he doing?"
"Oh I see, looks like the experiment is about to start soon."
"Just what kind of unbelievable experiment could attract Superman to participate in this event."
"Let's wait and see!"
At this moment, almost all the eyes in the world were gathered here, truly the attention of all.
As the large screens temporarily set up around the Statue of Liberty's base suddenly lit up, a somewhat obese figure with four metallic tentacles floating behind him appeared on the screens.
And appeared in the sights of everyone in the world.
"Huh..."
Taking a deep breath, even Dr. Otto couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the moment.
He completely didn't expect the worldwide attention Superman had promised him would be so...worldwide.
"Ladies and gentlemen, and friends watching on TV, good evening to you all!"
"Today, is a very important moment for me. First, I want to thank my wife, for her support and standing by me over the past decades."
As Dr. Otto spoke, he affectionately looked towards his wife Rose beside him.
"Second, I want to thank Wakanda for their great support and sponsorship of this experiment..."
"And most importantly, I must thank Mr. Superman for his tremendous help. It can be said, that without Mr. Superman, there would not be this important experiment that can change humanity's future..."
As he spoke, Dr. Otto gestured thanks towards the air where Peter was effortlessly lifting the Statue of Liberty.
The camera also timely switched to Peter's figure.
Peter did not pretend to be aloof, lifting the over 200-ton statue with one hand, he waved at the camera with his other hand, smiling.
Although, under the effect of the bio-electric aura, the audience may not see his smile clearly.
"Superman! Superman!..."
But without a doubt, at this moment Peter was the real worldwide "superstar".
"No wonder, a certain countryman who could destroy the skyies and earth, would actually be afraid of cyberbullying. This kind of instant appeal really is...somewhat wonderful."
"But I can be Superman, I can also be that countryman, yet absolutely cannot be constrained by anything."
While enjoying the cheers from the on-site audience, Peter reminded himself in his heart that he was neither Superman nor that countryman.
Or rather, he could be both, depending only on his own mood.
"Next, please look forward to witnessing this moment that will go down in history!"
The camera returned to Dr. Otto, his expression resolute as he announced the experiment would begin immediately.
...
Putting down all the equipment needed for the experiment, the aircraft rose up again, circling above.
On the stage with all attention upon it, only Dr. Otto and his wife remained, along with some necessary operating staff.
In an instant, the entire scene fell into silence.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment Dr. Otto said would change the future and go down in history!
"Earth, please buckle your seatbelts, we're about to take off!"
Standing in front of the new experimental apparatus nearly twice as big as the one last time, a hint of anticipatory smile emerged on Dr. Otto's mouth.
The next moment, his metallic tentacles behind him took out from a sealed box a piece of the rare element tritium, several times bigger than the one sponsored by Oscorp Industries last time, about the size of a pigeon egg.
With Wakanda's current technology, producing tritium was no longer difficult.
The precise and steady metallic tentacle placed the tritium element at the center of the experimental apparatus.
Then, Dr. Otto unhesitatingly pressed the laser ignition switch.
The next moment, an experimental process almost no different from last time played out once more.
Only this time, the on-site audience would not leave halfway, and no accidents like last time would occur in the experiment.
Buzz buzz buzz...
As several strong laser beams accurately bombarded the tritium element.
In an instant, a light like a star instantly blossomed from within.
The tritium element instantly expanded several times, almost occupying the entire inner space of the experimental apparatus.
Like a brand new star slowly rising, the intense light overwhelmed all the lights on site, instantly illuminating the night sky over the entire island.
At this moment, it was as if day and night were reversed, the night as bright as day.
...
"What is that? Is it the sun? So blinding!"
Countless people covered their eyes, feeling discomfort from the strong light, crying out in alarm.
"Haha, luckily I came prepared."
Some had taken out sunglasses prepared beforehand and put them on.
"Could it be this guy actually succeeded this time? What materials did he use?"
Tony put on the sunglasses Happy had prepared, looking at the "star" shining with intense light on the big screen, a hint of astonishment and curiosity also flowed through his eyes.
"Mr. Osborn, I heard you sponsored his experiment before?"
In the military faction, several top military brass with stars on their shoulders watched the small star that had replaced the Statue of Liberty, blossoming with intense light, their gazes burning.
"General, there was such a thing..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Norman Osborn's face, while also having an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Sorry Mr. Osborn, you should understand why I say this."
The general who had signed a cooperation agreement with Oscorp originally, apologized to Norman with his mouth, but his face did not show any regret.
"General, please give me one more chance, the future weapons we are making for the military will soon be ready for mass production."
A flash of anger crossed Norman's face, but right now he could only lower his stance to plead.
"Sorry, you should also have gotten the news, that Tony Stark is back."
"And has brought back a kind of powerful weapon no one has seen before..."
In the end, it was the military unilaterally terminating the cooperation agreement. The general still couldn't help but tell Norman the real reason.
"Tony Stark?"
A flash of hatred crossed Norman's face, this guy again.
...
"Dear audience, I'm honored to say, our experiment, succeeded!"
After the shining star blossomed in New York, with the entire world bearing witness, Dr. Otto proclaimed extremely proudly.
"This looks like a small sun? But it seems somewhat unstable!"
"Right, did this thing really succeed? It won't explode like last time right?"
"F*ck, can we still escape now? I don't want tomorrow in this city, it's all acquaintances..."
At this moment, not only the people on site feel the small sun constantly flaring with sunstorm-like flaming light did not seem very stable.
Even the citizens in New York City couldn't help but have the thought of wanting to flee New York.
After all, this small sun looked really somewhat unstable, seemingly about to explode at any moment, letting the people of New York also experience the "warmth" from a little boy.
"I know everyone doubts the stability of this small sun, so that's why I invited Superman to come."
"Next, we will test the stability of this 'sun' under the witness of all of New York, or even the entire world."
As if having foreseen this circumstance, Dr. Otto said with utmost confidence.
Then, he actually brought his wife and the other experimenters, along with the unnecessary experimental equipment, back onto the aircraft.
As the aircraft rose up.
A huge shadow suddenly enveloped the surrounding people.
It turned out to be Superman, single-handedly lifting the statue and placing it on the stage, his other hand directly lifting the still intensely shining small sun, then slowly raising it to a suitable height, and putting the Statue of Liberty back to her original position.
"Remember to fix her for me."
Peter's voice entered everyone's ears.
"Also, you guys might lose some sleep these next few nights..."
As these somewhat baffling words were said, Peter's figure instantly shot up into the clouds at high speed.
Everyone looked up at the sky, gazing at the rapidly ascending shining star.
In less than a minute, the star had exited the atmosphere, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Radiating intense light, making the New York night several degrees brighter!
