Clark's Hesitation and the Pledge of Love

At the explosion site, various factions were investigating. When they saw the power of the explosion, all of them were terrified. Fortunately, the explosion occurred in an abandoned urban area. If it had happened in the main urban area, the casualties would have been unpredictable.

After investigation, all forces reached a consensus: they must find out exactly what happened, otherwise, the Sword of Damocles could fall on their heads at any time and take their lives, making them extremely uneasy!

At this moment, the leaders of those forces, like Nick Fury, were also having trouble sleeping. Among these leaders, those without hair were still a minority; it seemed that quite a few would soon join the ranks of those experiencing hair loss...

However, none of the investigators from these forces discovered that a crack, invisible to the naked eye, flashed by in the sky above the explosion site. Simultaneously, several gazes from Earth turned towards the scene, unanimously uttering the same words. "The balance of Yin and Yang has been broken; a gap has appeared in Earth Dimension, making Inter-dimensional Space travel easier..."

It's not just some people on Earth who have noticed this; countless dimensions beyond Earth Dimension are eyeing Earth Dimension Greed, like eyeing a delicious piece of braised pork.

But soon, a hint of apprehension flashed in those gazes. Although there was a gap in the Earth Dimension, the Earth Dimension Earth Dimension's formation was still intact and could still protect it. Moreover, the stronger a person was, the easier it was for the formation to detect them...

Fortunately, perhaps I can send some of my subordinates to Earth Dimension to have some fun. I think they would really like Earth!

"Huh? By the way, how are Steve and the others?" On the other side, Robet, who was unaware of the situation, had already left the explosion site. As he flew towards Kent Farm, Robet suddenly remembered something and looked towards the location of Valmont's former base.

Robet was so engrossed in fighting the Fake Superman that he didn't pay attention to Steve and the others. By the time he defeated the Fake Superman at Valmont's base, Steve and the others were gone. Robet asked them about it, but Valmont was not in a good state and didn't answer Robet.

After Robet finished the battle, Robet remembered Steve's situation. He felt that if something had really happened to Steve, he should help with his burial. After all, Steve had come to Valmont with him, and it would be really unreasonable for him to just ignore him.

"Clark? Are Steve and the others dead?" With that thought, Robet began to call out to Clark. He hadn't been paying attention to Steve and the others, but Clark, who had been keeping an eye on the battle, should have noticed them and at least be able to identify the approximate location of Steve and the others' ashes.

However, to Robet's surprise, Clark didn't respond even after he called out to Clark for a while. Robet scratched his head, somewhat worried, and was about to head home to check when he finally received Clark's reply, "They're fine, a few kilometers to your right..."

"Clark? What's wrong with you?" Robet asked Robet, sensing a hint of anxiety in Clark's voice.

"It's alright, you take care of your own business first, heal your injuries before going back, don't scare Martha and the others!" Clark quickly ended the Mind Stone call, leaving Robet standing there somewhat bewildered.

"Go back? Isn't he home? Is he rescuing someone? Hmm, maybe..." Robet pondered for a moment, but didn't think too much about it. Instead, he headed towards the place Clark had indicated to look for Steve.

Robet had no idea that Clark was at Lana's house... What? How did Clark know where Lana lived? Wasn't it obvious? Clark had visited Lana's house before and eaten desserts there a few times.

"What exactly happened? How did she suddenly faint? There's nothing wrong with her body, not even me. Sending her to the hospital probably won't help..." Clark looked at Lana was still unconscious on the bed, and murmured softly with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Clark's feelings for Lana had always been somewhat complicated. He knew Lana liked him, but Clark had never been able to give a positive answer. Even though he had accepted his abilities earlier under Robet's influence and had stepped into the public eye to become Superman earlier, Clark was still very conflicted when it came to matters of the heart!

Clark had always thought Robet was a complete idiot when it came to relationships, not even noticing how obvious Kara's feelings were. But now, Clark also felt that Robet understood what he needed far better than he did; otherwise, Robet wouldn't have wanted to take Diana home as his wife the first time Diana met...

Clark was unsure of what he wanted. He wasn't stupid; he saw Lana's feelings and persistence, and he wanted to agree to be with Lana. But he was afraid—afraid that this Kryptonian might have some unknown differences from Earthling that might cause him to hurt Lana if he took that extra step...

At this moment, as Lana lay unconscious on the bed, and Lana couldn't figure out the reason for her unconsciousness, a sense of anxiety and worry welled up in Clark heart. This seemed to have given Clark an answer!

"Lana, what happened? Why did she suddenly faint?" Clark, whose resolve had slightly strengthened, grasped Lana's hand and murmured, "Hmm? Could it be because of Robet's battle with Demon Sorcerer? Was she frightened by the explosion? Or is it because she hasn't exercised for too long and her physical condition is too poor? But she doesn't seem to have any problems..."

"Lana, can you hear me? Huh? What's going on? Lana? Lana?! Don't scare me!"

Clark was muttering to himself when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with Lana's body. Lana's body was faintly glowing, and the cells in her entire body were beginning to change. Clark was unusually alarmed by this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Clark's physical strength is among the best on this planet, and his mental power, after being developed through Mind Reading and Telepathy, is also extremely strong. However, Clark's understanding of supernatural powers is not extensive, and Clark somewhat helpless when faced with some non-combat supernatural events...

Therefore, when Clark saw some changes in Lana that he couldn't understand, he frantically tried to stand up. This wasn't his forte, and he was somewhat at a loss. While searching for a solution, he anxiously muttered, "Lana, you can't get hurt! I should have called Robet; he should know more about this than I do... Hmm?"

However, just as Clark got up to contact Robet, he found that Lana was holding his hand firmly. When he looked at Lana again, the light on Lana body had disappeared. Instead, her body had become extremely powerful in his observation. Even if she was not as strong as him now, she was still at the level he had when he had just come of age.

But that's not the point. The point is, Lana seems to have woken up!

"Lana?" Clark called out to Lana, who still seemed to be unconscious, with some suspicion. Lana did not respond and seemed to be still unconscious.

However, once the Seed of doubt is planted, it is not so easy to remove. Clark stopped talking and just stared at Lana, and the whole room fell into an eerie silence.

"Huh?" After a moment, Lana hesitated for a moment before cautiously opening her eyes a crack. Seeing Clark's slightly displeased gaze, Lana exclaimed, then pretended to have just woken up, looking at Clark with a bewildered expression and asking, "Clark, what are you doing here? Wasn't I just strolling around town? How did I end up back home?"

"When did you wake up?" Clark released Lana's hand, rolled his eyes, and asked Lana directly, showing no leeway whatsoever.

"Um... just when you said I couldn't get into trouble and that I needed to find your brother..." Lana said in a low voice, shrinking her neck a little embarrassed.

"Did you really just wake up here?" Clark asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"You woke up right here! Hmm? Why are you so focused on this? Did you say something you didn't want me to hear?" Now it was Lana's turn to defend and counterattack. She raised her chin and asked back like a proud white swan.

"No! I didn't say anything!" Clark's face stiffened, his imposing Superman aura weakened, and he said stiffly.

"Really? You seem very nervous, and you seemed quite worried about me before!" Lana squinted at Clark, deciding to strike while the iron was hot, press her advantage, and take advantage of this opportunity to break through his defenses and win Clark over!

"We're friends, isn't it normal for me to worry about you?" Clark avoided Lana's gaze. Although Clark had understood his own feelings while Lana was unconscious, Clark was still somewhat reserved when facing the conscious Lana.

After all, although Clark appears to be a powerful Superman warrior, he is actually a wizard nearing thirty years old...

"Just ordinary friends?" Lana sat up straight and continued her attack, asking.

"Good friend..." Clark's voice lowered slightly, tinged with uncertainty.

"Just good friends?" Lana sighed with disappointment, looking dejected. Clark turned to look at her, as if he wanted to say something, but Clark opened his mouth and couldn't utter a word.

"I know you have reservations. After all, you're the famous Superman, and I'm just an ordinary person..." Lana looked at Clark, sighed, shook her head, and took Clark's hand.

"How come?" Clark asked Lana hesitantly. Only the Kent Family and Danvers families knew that he was Superman, and Clark was confident in his two completely different states, so no one should associate Clark with Superman.

"You mean, you're usually so low-key, Superman is so dazzling, so how did I connect you two, right?" Lana smiled smugly at Clark, then her expression gradually became serious as she looked deeply into Clark's eyes and said, "Because in my eyes, you've always been dazzling. Before you became the world's Superman, you were always my Superman, my superhero..."

"Lana ..." A hint of emotion flashed in Clark's eyes. He looked at Lana and opened his mouth as if to say something, but Lana covered his mouth with her finger.

"I know you're hesitant, you have concerns, you're worried that I'm just an ordinary person. But I'm different now. Although I don't know what happened to my body, I seem to be Superman now. With me like this, being your Superman girlfriend shouldn't be a problem, right?" Lana smiled sweetly, floating in front of Clark and confessing her love gently.

"No problem!" Clark's heart seemed to be filled with joy, and at this moment he finally stopped hesitating, pulled Lana into his arms and kissed her...
