Batman Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman Diana Prince finally understood why the Guardians of the Universe, the Olympian Gods, and every stellar-level powerhouse in the universe had been willing to submit to the Emperor of New Krypton.
Now, even they could not help but be somewhat won over by the Emperor of New Krypton's charisma.
No one could truly understand how they felt.
Superman Clark Kent had persuaded them to join the Peace Enforcement Department and treat this Earth as their home, while their real home had fused into the New Krypton Universe and vanished.
No one could truly share that feeling. Superman Clark Kent had once been unable to share it either.
But now he could.
Superman Clark Kent could now feel just how hollow and powerless his words had been when he persuaded Batman Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman Diana Prince.
What nonsense about treating this place as home, protecting their new home together, and everyone being partners in justice.
No sorrow could compare to one's home disappearing completely.
All that remained were memories in their minds to mourn.
The more they remembered, the more it hurt.
The more Superman Clark Kent imagined Earth disappearing, the worse he felt, his face twisting further in pain.
"Is there really not even the slightest way?" Superman Clark Kent's eyes reddened as he gritted his teeth and growled.
He truly wanted to protect Earth, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for it.
If sacrificing himself could protect Earth, he would do so without hesitation.
"No. If you want to blame someone, blame me for being too weak to destroy the Source Universe." He-El sat upright upon the New Krypton Throne and spoke calmly.
Superman Clark Kent fell silent in anguish.
No matter whom he blamed, he could not blame He-El.
