In the basement of the mystery house, sitting cross-legged on the rocks of the sea that had restored its calm, the cold divinity in Clarke's eyes had dissipated.

As Merlin watched, he grabbed his left arm, which had been cut off in a strange way, and pressed it against the wound with a grin.

Like the sun's rays floating around Clark's wound, like an adhesive, causing Superman's shoulder wound to heal quickly, a few seconds later, Clark raised his left hand, moving his five fingers.

The fingers swayed as if he weren't hurt at all.

"You have free control over your flesh?"

Merlin, who was standing next to Superman, asked curiously:

"This is also one of the abilities that comes with the infinite formula?"

"Yes."

Clark picked up his suit and tie from the ground, and while tying it up very skillfully, he said to Merlin:

"When I fought with Zod before, I discovered that in addition to rapid self-healing, torn flesh and blood are still active after being separated from the body, and they only need to be brought back to recover."

"I care more about the 'divinity' you just said than that."

Superman looked at Merlin, and it seemed that he himself felt the change of his will, and he frowned and said:

"When I'm fighting in this new form, my mind will become a lot sharper, but it will also become... Ruthless, I thought it was just because I didn't adapt to the new powers, but now it doesn't seem to be. ”

"You just said it was harmless?"

"Yes, it's harmless."

Merlin nodded, and he explained to Clark:

"In the battle just now, I have been paying attention to the changes in your mind, and judging from the voice of the heart that the power of vanity heard, that kind of divine transformation only put you into a state more suitable for combat, and did not fundamentally change your mind."

"You can think of it as a 'combat switch,' or something like Logan's beastly sense."

Raven said in as concise a way as possible:

"It will only be activated when you perceive a deadly threat, and under normal circumstances, it will not affect your judgment."

"According to my current guess, it should be a preset measure in the genes of perfect creatures, an auxiliary means to prevent perfect creatures from dying in battle before they reach the ultimate evolution."

"Is that so?"

Rubbing his forehead, Clark said:

"Indeed, entering that state will make me feel more acute, react more quickly, and mobilize and use my strength more flexibly, like having an extra computer in my head, able to quickly analyze the situation on the battlefield, as if even my will seems to have become stronger."

"Be confident, remove the 'as if'."

Merlin chuckled, he reached out and patted Clark on the shoulder, and he said:

"Do you think I haven't tried mind manipulation?"

"At the beginning of the battle just now, I have been trying to influence you with vanity, but whether it is psychic suggestion or puppet manipulation, it is useless for you in the form of divine will."

"In a situation where divinity completely overpowers humanity, it is as if your mind is covered with strong armor, and it is difficult to influence it again."

"So I'd say it's harmless, like a set of armor at the level of will."

The Raven Lord breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"With this preset combat program, I don't need to worry about you, the Heavenly Father, being manipulated by the conspirators to wreak havoc, so that's a good thing, Clark, don't worry too much about it."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Clark put on his suit coat and let out a sigh of relief with his hands on his knees.

He looked up at Merlin, and he said:

"What was that trick you just made? I felt like an ice blade had sliced through flesh, and to be honest, I didn't feel any pain until my arm fell..."

"I don't feel pain because it's too fast, it's a quantum slash."

Merlin stroked the Raven Book in his hand, and he said to Clark:

"I convert my energy to the quantum level, and with the help of phase shifting, I send the force of compression into your body, and then explode at the microscopic level."

"In theory, this is an undefensible attack, but in practice there are still many fallacies."

"It's not as powerful as it could be, like just now, that blow should have destroyed all your organs from the inside of your body and tore your body apart, but in fact you saw it, it just cut off your arm."

Merlin shook his head and said regretfully:

"In the conversion of the two rules, most of the energy is dissipated into the quantum world, and this transformation will destabilize the quantum state, so it can only deliver one blow, which is very ineffective. I still have a long way to go to perfect this attack. ”

"Sounds amazing."

Clark says:

"Is this your new hole card?"

"Hole cards, not yet, it's just an exploration of different forms of power when you're idle."

Raven shrugged, reached into his pocket and took two cans of beer out of his pocket, tossed one to Clark, and the two sat down on the pumice stone, watching the tide tumbling below, as if they were friends.

He said to Clark:

"I've seen you fight Zod before, and now I'm fighting you myself, and according to my understanding, the Infinite Formula has completed the process of genetically improving your physique, and has released the maximum potential that your current body can bear."

Merlin, who was holding a beer can in one hand, stroked the dark red Raven Book on his waist, opened the Grimoire in his hand, and whispered:

"The enhancement of the infinite formula allows you to maintain your strength stably in the state of Heavenly Father, or even Super Heavenly Father, without the light of the sun at the moment, but I still don't know your current limit."

He looked at the first page of the Grimoire that had become blank again, and he said to his good friend:

"If you receive radiation from the sun, your strength and defense should continue to increase, but the genetic template of Kryptonians is inherently lacking in energy attacks, and as I said earlier, super magic can still cause you considerable damage."

"But there's no need to worry too much."

Merlin Says:

"Saying that you have low magic resistance, that's based on my level, you are also a Heavenly Father, and most of the magic is effective against you."

Clark took a sip of his beer, he glanced at the Grimoire in Merlin's hand, and said:

"I seem to have broken the magic of your book before, will this bother you?"

"It's okay, it was meant to be a test subject."

The Raven Maharaja breathed a sigh of relief, and he said casually:

"Find another Strength Heavenly Father and kill me, and I'll be able to regain the Strength Charm, but... I'm not going to do that right now, if I need it, I'm going to get the best. ”

A cold glint flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he said:

"I now have a choice, let's move on to the infinite formula."

"Your current form, Silver Superman, or Divine Will Superman, is just your first life form evolution."

"That serum unlocks the shackles of your ontological genes, and theoretically, after continuing to receive the sun's illuminating reinforcement, at some point, you will usher in a second physical reinforcement."

"What about the limit?"

Clark flicked his shoulders as he watched his fingers, sun-like light shining beneath his skin.

He said to Merlin:

"There is a theoretical limit to any evolution, and I'm curious, at what level is the limit of the infinite formula?"

"That thing is based on the genes of the Celestials."

Merlin thought for a moment, then replied softly:

"I asked some 'friends', and they told me that the general strength of the Celestial Group is above the monolithic universe, that is, the theoretical minimum value of the evolution of life forms brought about by the infinite formula can also allow you to enter the monolithic universe."

"And the original intention of this project is that those cosmic gods want to make 'perfect life' beyond them, so, according to my idea, as long as the conditions allow, you may even enter the multiverse level..."

Speaking of this, the Raven Lord shrugged his shoulders, and he said very calmly:

"But that's hard, and even you, Clark, have a very small chance of getting there, and it's hard to put that in concrete numbers. And if you stay in this universe, you will never reach that level. ”

"That's too far away."

Clark was not too depressed, his face was calm, and he said to Merlin:

"I've never thought about the future that far away, and to be honest, it's enough for me right now. Speaking of which, yesterday I also received a letter from Latvia in the name of Doom. ”

Superman pursed his lips and said:

"The new Supreme Master invited me to his palace, and I guess it was probably to talk to me about the Father's Code."

"I'd suggest you go anyway, Doom has concerns, and I think you can understand that."

Merlin laughed, and he said to Clark:

"Who would dare to allow a man whose strength is close to the Almighty Father to roam freely on earth? If you lose control, it's hard for anyone on Earth to control you, after all, it only takes less than 10 seconds for you to tear down the Earth..."

And when you reach the Father, you can't do a lot of things at will, and you can't participate in them at will. Don't show up for the little things on weekdays, and leave them to the young people to do, otherwise it will frighten a lot of people. ”

Raven finished his beer, and said to Clark:

"It's a good thing for you, you can enjoy life with Louise and little Jonathan, and those plots against you will be stopped by Doom and his followers before they are carried out, so you can have a lot less trouble."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, there's one last test."

Merlin reached out and patted his forehead, his fingers flipping, and he tossed a small box to Clark.

He said:

"You should have guessed it."

"Smack"

The box in Clark's hand was opened, and a green glow emanated from the box.

"Kryptonite."

Superman shook his head, and he held back the discomfort and took the crystal clear irregular stone in his hand.

This is the second time Clark has been so close to Kryptonite, aside from being punched with a kryptonite fist by Batman Bruce last time.

This thing is like the most terrifying poison for all Kryptonians, and once contaminated, it will quickly make powerful Kryptonians fall into a state of weakness.

But at this time, Clark pinched the kryptonite that emitted a green glow, but he did not lose his strength.

There was a glittering light on the tips of his fingers, as if he was fighting against the weakened force.

"It's still a little tingling."

After a few seconds, Clark tossed Krypton back into the box, and he watched as the skin of his fingers looked like charred, and with a slight friction, the black ash fell to the ground.

He said to Merlin:

"It still weakens me, but it's much weaker than before. Probably as you said, the last shortcoming in the Kryptonian genes has been filled by the infinite formula, and this kind of natural enemy-like substance will be difficult to hurt me anymore. ”

"Well, Bruce has a headache now."

Merlin retracted the kryptonite, and he winked at Clark, and he said maliciously:

"That guy Bruce is always prepared for all crises in advance, but now I'm curious about what method he plans to use to restrain you after Kryptonite can't weaken you either."

"You."

Clark shrugged, he pointed to Merlin, then drank the beer in his hand, and said:

"Aren't you the best tool Bruce has ever used to keep me in check? As long as he speaks, as long as I have signs of losing control, will you sit idly by? Judging from the battle just now, you have a lot of ways to restrain me, right? ”

“emmmm”

Merlin pursed his lips and said:

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Indeed, with my relationship with you and Bruce, I really can't sit idly by. ”

"Don't talk about that."

Merlin waved open the door to the hall of the mystery house, and the two left the basement one after the other, they sat by the burning fireplace, and Xuanlan, who was holding little Jonathan, also commanded the ghost servants to bring refreshments.

Merlin picked up his teacup and said to Clark:

"The rest of your people, Zod and those 15 Kryptonians. B is making a new identity for them, and it seems that they have indeed been convinced by you, and are willing to live well on Earth according to your instructions. ”

"They are genetically defective."

Clark looked at Merlin and said:

"Can the infinite formula be..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Raven decisively refused:

"I can't just give that thing away, and you have to understand, the infinite formula is very complicated to make, and the reason you can get the serum you can use is because you have all the genetic samples of the Kryptonians in your body, and Zod and they don't have it."

"But I'll ask my friends to find a way to make a serum with specific functions to repair their genes so that they can reproduce naturally, and Clark, I have to remind you that you, as the new Kryptonian Lord, have to manage your people."

Merlin reminded:

"Their powers are also a threat to the world, and I don't want Fury to complain about your people doing evil or something like that, or to wake up and find that the Earth has been torn down by your fellow citizens."

"I try."

Clarke, who had been reassured, smiled, Superman cocked his legs, took up his teacup, and said to Merlin:

"I'll restrain them, if something really goes wrong, don't you still have kryptonite... Even for Zod, that thing has a terrible suppressive power. ”

"Okay."

Merlin said no more about it, and after a few seconds of silence, he said to Clark:

"Seeing a perfect being like you, I'm really looking forward to the human version of the infinite formula being made."

"Perfect life?"

Clark chuckled, and he said:

"Okay, barely, but I'm curious, who are you going to use the human version of the infinite formula for? To yourself? ”

"I've got my share."

Merlin's eyes sparkled, and he said:

"But Bruce, Steve, Barton, Natasha, and even Tony... They need infinite formulas more than I do. ”

"The stage that belongs to them is limited to this world, presumably they will also feel unwilling, those heroes who have given everything for the world and are still fighting for order, they also need a future."

"Like you, with a future to infinity!"

"I also need them, I need our friends, to be my most trusted warriors in the final battle that will inevitably come, and together, as we have done in the past, we will fight for the future of this star!"

"We'll protect it, as always."
