I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Lei Ming questioned.

"hehe…"

Yu Bing chuckled, looking at Lei Ming with a bitter expression…

What can I do...?

If we don't do this, we'll only have two fates: either we'll be thrown onto a planet full of alien monsters to fight and be entertained by 'them'.

Either submit to them and become their slaves...

All I wanted was to survive.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming remained silent for a long time, but the hand gripping his neck was absorbing the stellar energy within his body.

Yu Bing gradually returned to his original appearance...

An ordinary face with three pairs of gray wings on its back.

He was transformed into a six-winged angel, much stronger than Qiao Wei and the others, and his stellar energy far surpassed that of An Ke, but he was still not as good as himself... even though he was not at his peak right now.

After absorbing all the stellar energy within him, he said to the remaining soldiers who had completely given up resistance:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Let me go... I don't want to die."

Yu Bing looked up at him with a pleading expression.

"For the sake of us being of the same race..."

Click...

Before he could finish speaking, his neck was snapped, and he could no longer utter a single word.

"For the sake of our race... I will let you die as 'Superman'..."

Lei Ming remained unmoved, then used his heat vision to incinerate the man's head, tore off his wings, and threw him back to Earth, letting him plummet to the ground.

Watching his corpse pass through the atmosphere... gradually turning into a burning fireball, Lei Ming clenched his fists.

He knew very well...

Yu Bing was merely a tool used by God to convey messages to Him, or a warning…

Even if I let him go, he still wouldn't be able to go back alive.

Besides, he has already betrayed us.

From his memories, Lei Ming saw everything he did for his fellow countrymen after joining Heaven, and some of those things... were not just about surviving, as he claimed...

Yu Bing's body fell into the crater of a volcano in Sicily, and many factions that had been following the outcome of the battle between 'Superman' and 'Human Torch' witnessed this scene.

I believe that soon, news reports with the headline 'Superman is dead' will appear on television.

...

Upon returning to the manor, Lei Ming could smell a strong stench of blood from afar…

There were more than a dozen mercenaries' corpses in the woods outside the manor, and the manor was also littered with dead bodies. The only living person in the entire manor was Sophia, who was kneeling next to Elena, looking like she had lost her soul.

Lei Ming frowned, then slowly floated to Sophia's side and landed, then looked at Elena lying motionless on the ground... with a military knife piercing her chest.

Her expression was calm, as if she were asleep, and her skin was completely bloodless.

Sophia turned her head blankly to look at Lei Ming, her eyes bloodshot and the tear tracks on her face already dried...

"sorry…

I failed... to protect her...

She choked back tears as she apologized to Lei Ming, then turned back to look at Elena, her face filled with guilt and remorse.

Lei Ming didn't say a word. Instead, he slowly crouched down, gently helped Elena up, then pulled the knife out of her chest and tossed it aside. He then carried her in his arms and, in Sofia's stunned gaze, rose into the sky...

What I said to you before…

Do you understand now?

After saying that, Lei Ming ignored Sophia and disappeared into the sky with Elena's body.

...

Ring ring…!

In Moscow, the shrill sound of an alarm clock rang out from a single apartment. A figure on the bed stirred, and then a pale hand emerged from the covers and slapped haphazardly on the bedside table... After slapping it dozens of times like a headless fly, it finally stopped the noisy alarm.

Then a slender figure slowly sat up from the bed, yawned and stretched, her long silver hair slipping off her shoulders.

She glanced at the time groggily, as if suddenly waking up, hurriedly got out of bed, dressed, quickly washed up, casually tied her beautiful silver hair behind her head, and rushed out the door.

She didn't notice that two pairs of eyes were watching her from the distant sky until she drove away.

The two gazes belonged to Lei Ming and a blonde little girl dressed in black…

Are you really planning to do this?

It's not too late to back out now.

Lei Ming was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

I was wrong before…

This kind of life, this kind of lifestyle, is what suits her best. I shouldn't have appeared in front of her in the first place.

"Is it…"

The little girl bit her finger and asked, puzzled, "But you also want her to forget everything about you..."

That's so cruel!

“Remembering… is cruel for her… especially since she is immortal.”

Lei Ming remained calm.

"Furthermore, what if one day she no longer wants immortality..."

Let's grant her wish.

"Miss Death."

Chapter 82 Tearing Off the Face

"today……

It's a day to remember, the day of the greatest hero on Earth…

Superman has left us forever.

I'm sure everyone saw Superman wreaking havoc in the city a while ago…

But what I'm saying is that's not the truth!

In order to protect Earth, Superman's consciousness was controlled by an evil alien force.

But even in his last moments... he was still fighting for humanity!

He chose to let Earth's superheroes end his life...

I must say, this result is incredibly painful and hard to accept.

But we must unite! We, the people of America, must rise up!

Superman is gone... but his spirit lives on!

We Americans will shoulder the responsibility of being role models and guiding lights for all mankind!

Be strong, my people!

Let's make our country great again!

...

In the United States, the lawn outside the Capitol Building was packed with dignitaries and public figures. The area was also surrounded by countless media reporters and ordinary citizens, forcing the police to deploy additional personnel to maintain order.

The congressional representative spoke on stage, seemingly heartbroken, recounting Superman's many great achievements during his lifetime. His impassioned and inspiring speech was met with thunderous applause from the audience and attracted the attention of various media outlets.

A few days later, the United States held a funeral of the highest honors for Superman. Five fighter jets flew over the city to pay their respects, and Superman's coffin, draped with the Stars and Stripes, was carried out to the accompaniment of solemn music.

Soldiers on both sides fired a synchronized salute into the air, and high-ranking U.S. leaders, including members of the Blue Guard, attended the funeral, even though most of them hadn't said a single word to Superman…

But they still went on stage, tears streaming down their faces, to give their speeches, recounting Superman's past...

Max was the only one absent.

Just a second before Ms. Amanda, the head of the Supermarket Management Authority, stepped onto the stage to give her speech…

A whooshing sound came from the distant sky! Everyone looked up and saw a black dot flying at high speed toward the funeral venue!

boom! ! !

A figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily in front of the podium! The rubble that crumbled beneath his feet startled the surrounding crowd, nearly causing them to fall to the ground!
