I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

"Hope? Ha..."

Lei Ming withdrew his gaze and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Isn't this just despair...?"

"It is hope."

Miss Death's small face was filled with seriousness.

"After all, we've already reached a point of despair..."

Seeing her serious expression, Lei Ming hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"No... I'm fine as I am, and I already have a long lifespan. Although it's not eternal, it's enough for me to live until I don't want to live anymore."

And what I truly want, I don't even know myself...

You can't give it to me either.

After hearing this, Miss Death bit her lip and frowned slightly, seemingly unwilling to accept it.

"It seems you don't know what it means to become 'hope'..."

If you become 'Hope', you will be one of the most exalted among us, and whatever happens, we will listen to your opinions and decisions…

Your will is our will, and your enemy is our enemy.

and…"

As Miss Death finished speaking, her expression towards Lei Ming became somewhat unnatural…

"And...I personally hope that you...can agree."

Lei Ming turned to look at her, only to find that she suddenly became somewhat uneasy.

"Thank you, and thank you for the kindness of the entire Endless Family..."

But I'm sorry, I can't accept that.

Lei Ming ultimately chose to refuse.

"Why?!"

Miss Death suddenly raised her voice, her face full of incomprehension.

Do you really like Earth that much?

But even if you become endless, it doesn't prevent you from protecting the people on Earth, does it?

Lei Ming shook his head calmly.

"You higher-dimensional beings wouldn't understand. It's not that I particularly like Earth, nor am I doing this to protect it."

I just feel...

Being here makes me feel like I'm still human.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look to his left…

My gaze instantly shifted to a classroom in a state university five kilometers away, locking onto a female teacher giving a lesson…

She has silver hair that shines as brightly as the Milky Way.

He glanced at it, then looked away and turned back to Miss Death to continue speaking:

"Besides, I'll find what I truly want myself; I don't need others to give it to me..."

For a long while, Miss Death remained silent.

After a while…

"All right…"

Her tone sounded very disappointed.

She then stood up, took small steps to Lei Ming, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and bowed slightly to him in a noble lady's curtsy.

"Although this is disappointing...especially for me, your wishes are my wishes, so I will convey your reply to them."

Lei Ming: "Thank you."

"Well then, goodbye, Superman..."

After saying that, Miss Death turned around and skipped away into the distance.

"and many more…"

Lei Ming suddenly called her back. She immediately darted back, her face beaming with excitement, and asked:

"What? Changed your mind?"

"No, I meant that after I spoke with Morpheus last time, he said as he left..."

I hope we can become true friends when we meet next time.

Please tell him that I will visit him in the Dream Kingdom when I have time.

After Lei Ming finished speaking, he continued to pet the dog. Ah Cai had already lost a tuft of fur on his head from being petted so much.

"That's it?"

Miss Death's expression turned disappointed again.

"Okay, I'll tell him."

She skipped away, muttering to herself even after she was quite a distance away.

'What a weirdo, he's got something wrong with his head…'

Lei Ming laughed it off.

Because she wasn't wrong.

He definitely has some mental issues right now...

The memories from the two timelines are like shattered mirrors, each scene different, piled up and pieced together without any order.

Having lost his telepathic abilities, he can no longer easily perform 'micro-manipulation' on his brain as before, and it will take him some time to recover.

Moreover, he didn't want to live like he used to.

He always looked so bitter and resentful, as if he were carrying the weight of everything, just like Max said.

Living like that is too tiring.

He has experienced the days when he was admired by thousands and watched by the world, and he has also fought all sorts of enemies, such as demons, monsters, angels, and gods.

He even fought against his former idol, Superman, and won.

But so what?

In the end…

He still lost everything.

Or perhaps he never really had anything to begin with.

So in this life!!!

He wants to take back everything he has lost...!

Sorry for switching channels.

So in this new world, he wanted to relax a little... be a little more at ease.

Anyway, he has a long enough life to find what he truly wants.

As for those former kinsmen, let's not talk about those who have already died...

The hundreds of thousands of people who were captured and taken away are still missing.

Anyway, I don't owe them anything.

They're just unlucky.

Although his mind wasn't working perfectly, Lei Ming felt that this 'rebirth' had given him a chance to re-examine himself.

After figuring things out, I feel much better.

that's it

Good.

He simply lay down on the park bench, completely ignoring the strange looks from others, and fell asleep with his arm under his neck.

until…

at night

Around 7 or 8 pm.

A Black security guard patrolling the park spotted him.

He shone his flashlight on Lei Ming's face, then stepped forward and shoved him on the shoulder with his stun baton.

"Hey! Hey! Sir!"
