I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

As he spoke, he looked at Max, whose face was serious, and said in a deep voice:

[Someone else will do it for me.]

Before he could finish speaking, Max responded without hesitation:

Wow!

Let me do it! Whatever it is!

I'd do anything to free you from here!

He clenched his fists, his expression serious, and his tone brooking no argument.

Lei Ming looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Even if there's danger?"

I'm not afraid!

Even if it means death!

Max answered without hesitation.

In his heart, he had already lost the woman he loved most, and now he could no longer bear to watch his elder brother leave him...

So even if there's only the slightest chance, even if it means death, he must try... No!

It is absolutely necessary!

[I see……]

Lei Ming nodded, then slowly said:

[Actually, before I realized I was almost unable to control the insects...]

For some reason, I once sent a clone to another universe.

After that, I discovered that the dimensional worms inside my body had changed…

It actually tried to separate a part of my consciousness and cross dimensions to parasitize its clone in another universe.

So I immediately disconnected from my clone…

That's why I don't let you get close to me; the current latitude insects... are 'contagious'.

after that,

I never imagined that, as time went by, my clone would gradually develop a 'self,' and now it's making preparations, trying to prevent me from going to that universe one day.

Take him back.

Max listened attentively while mentally processing the information.

What should I do?

Should we bring him back?

Lei Ming continued:

[That's right...]

The clone is now gradually becoming a 'complete' entity, and once it succeeds, it will completely escape my control...

He possesses a portion of my power, and he continues to grow stronger.

If I can regain this power, perhaps I'll have a chance to get rid of these insects completely...

At this point, Lei Ming shook his head.

But... if I go in person, the moment I arrive in that universe... he will immediately sense it.

Before he reconnects with me and comes under my control, he will use a powerful spatial artifact to escape to another universe.

Besides, if I go out, the insects might infect all life in the universe... That would be an unprecedented catastrophe.

I must stay here and use the sun and my own strength to suppress the insects.

[so……

This task can only be done by someone else.

After Lei Ming finished speaking, Max frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he asked a question:

[thunder…

How powerful is your clone?

[About…

Just like me ten years ago.

Max fell silent again.

He wasn't hesitant or afraid; he was just a little worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the mission.

The clone is equivalent to Lei Ming ten years ago, and Lei Ming already possessed the strength to easily defeat Clark ten years ago.

But now he can only manage a draw with Clark, and the chances of him defeating him are probably very slim...

Seeing Max's expression, Lei Ming suddenly said softly:

I know you're worried about failing, that's okay.

I am not afraid of death; I will stay here until I am swallowed by the sun.

Perhaps it's a good ending for her.

Upon hearing this, Maxton immediately showed a resolute expression.

[No!

I will never let this happen!

Send him there! I'll definitely bring him back!

Max... have you thought this through?

Right now, I can't offer you any help; you'll have to rely on yourself.

Failure is a minor issue; you might not even be able to come back. You might even die at his hands.

Max found Lei Ming's instructions somewhat strange and asked:

Does your clone not have any memories of me?

Will he kill me?

Lei Ming shook his head and said:

[As I said, he has gradually become 'complete' and can naturally distinguish that the memories in his mind do not truly belong to him...]

If he had the chance, he would definitely kill you.

but…]

Lei Ming suddenly changed the subject, squinting his eyes as he said:

He wasn't without weaknesses...

In that universe, he still has many attachments. If you really have no other choice, perhaps you could make use of that.

certainly…

How you proceed is up to you.

[care…]

Max muttered to himself, a hint of resistance flashing across his brow, but it quickly returned to its resolute form.

[I see,

I know what to do.

He took a deep breath and said:

[Now, take me there!]

Lei Ming asked, "[Shouldn't we say goodbye to them?]"

Max shook his head, "No need..."

Their lives are both back on track, and I don't want to disturb them.

Lei Ming nodded without speaking, then waved his hand.

A nebula-like vortex appeared out of thin air behind Max.

Most of my power has been used to suppress the dimensional worms, so I'm not sure which location in that universe I'll be able to teleport you to…

Max, it's all up to you now.

[clear!]

Max nodded heavily, as if he had rediscovered his purpose in life, and gave a bright smile.

[elder brother…

Wait for me to come back! I will definitely get you out of here!
