Don't Make Up Nicknames
Clark and Lana have finally confirmed their relationship. However, given Clark's personality, a kiss is already Clark limit. He doesn't seem to want to take it any further. But Lana is already very satisfied with Clark as he is.
After all, there has been crucial progress, and Lana has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. As for what happens next, we can deal with that later. Anyway, Lana is now Superman, and she and Clark will only have more in common in the future.
Lana could even have Clark help her familiarize herself with her newly awakened abilities. Although the power granted by the Talisman is easy to master, it's still a pretty good excuse, isn't it?
Meanwhile, Robet was unaware that his older brother Clark had embarked on a new phase of his life, and even less aware that his sister-in-law had been transformed by the power of the Talisman, going from an ordinary person to someone with strength roughly equivalent to his own. Although she was slightly weaker than Kara, who had trained with Robet for a long time, there wasn't a significant difference.
However, even if Robet knew, he would only congratulate Clark. After all, cheating is all too common in the Dragon Ball World, although such a leap is indeed quite significant.
Robet had already found Steve's aura by following Clark's previous guidance. At this moment, Robet also noticed the change in Steve's aura. After all, Robet had also absorbed some of the Laser Eyes energy contained in that Pig Talisman, so he was very familiar with it.
Therefore, it must be said that the power of the Twelve Talismans is inherently very strong. The energy contained within them is virtually inexhaustible for ordinary people. No wonder Diana warned Robet to be careful beforehand; it means that Demon Sorcerer had been weakened at least twice in succession. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Robet to defeat Demon Sorcerer...
"They're all here, they ran really fast..." Robet shook his head after sensing Steve's presence, muttering with a smile, because he also sensed Bucky and Tony Stark's presence. As for Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton? Sorry, not really familiar with them.
However, Robet was quite happy that Steve and the other two had survived. After all, they were comrades-in-arms who had fought together. It would have been a pity if they had really died in battle, and besides, it seemed that there were no Dragon Ball in this world that could help people revive.
"Hmm? Someone's coming!" Just as Robet was walking towards Steve, Black Widow Natasha also received a message from her subordinates, since Robet in Vegeta's form hadn't concealed himself.
"It's Energy Kid! He's not dead! Let him in!" Black Widow Natasha swiftly gave the order.
"He's really alright. It seems he won..." Steve breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Black Widow Natasha's words. If obtaining the power of the Pig Talisman was merely speculation before, now that it had been confirmed, Steve could finally relax.
However, Steve still has many questions. If Superman appears, or if Superman intercepts a monster, what exactly happens...?
"Let me warn you first, you'd better not call him by that weird nickname you gave him, he has a bad temper!" Tony Stark, standing to the side, glanced at Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, reminding them. After all, they had fought side by side before. Tony Stark didn't have a deep affection for these two, but he didn't want to see them really anger Robet.
"You have to trust our negotiation skills..." Black Widow Natasha smiled confidently. As one of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s most famous agents, she had successfully recruited and won over many talented individuals to join the S.H.I.E.L.D..
With a creak, just as Black Widow Natasha was brimming with confidence, Robet pushed open the door and walked in. Of course, Robet wasn't alone; someone who looked like a secret agent brought Robet in.
Robet didn't react much to this, since the process was pretty much the same when she met Steve before, except that the person who guided Robet that time was a quiet but very polite old lady.
"I'm so glad you're all alright. I thought you'd all perished!" Robet smiled and nodded at Steve, Bucky, and Tony Stark as they stood up, and said softly.
"How's it going on your end? Did you win?" Tony Stark asked Robet hesitantly, recalling Jarvis's report of the explosion.
"We won. To be honest, it was a bit difficult, mainly because those two guys were just too hard to kill..." Robet shrugged and said with a smile.
"Two guys? You mean Superman and Valmont?" Steve asked Robet thoughtfully. "Is Superman really with Hydra? Do you know that monster that Superman intercepted?"
For Steve, besides knowing that Robet was safe and sound, he also needed to find out about Superman's situation. He couldn't let Hydra's people develop into a universally popular superhero!
Who knows what kind of conspiracy Hydra is plotting behind this? Maybe they want to replicate him in a new era to guide public opinion, or even manipulate public sentiment...
"Superman? Hydra?" Robet was stunned for a moment. He didn't even know when his older brother had become Hydra agent. However, Robet quickly realized that Steve was talking about that Fake Superman.
"Oh, you've misunderstood. You saw it yourself, being knocked away... The one I fought wasn't Superman, but a bootleg guy. He was created from the power of the Rat Talisman and possessed similar strength to Superman. But unfortunately, he was no match for me!" Robet explained, his expression becoming somewhat smug as he spoke. After all, the feeling of beating up the Fake Superman was quite satisfying!
"Evolved from Rat Talisman?" Aside from Bucky, the others present had some understanding of the power of Talisman. They exchanged surprised glances. A single Rat Talisman could evolve into Superman, and with such immense power at that. What would happen if it evolved into something else?
"Um, if the Rat Talisman evolves into God, could it destroy the world?" Hawkeye Barton frowned and asked in a low voice through the earpiece.
"God? The Rat Talisman should have a power limit, which should be the level of Demon Sorcerer himself..." Robet thought for a moment and felt it was unlikely. After all, the Fake Superman evolved from the Rat Talisman couldn't even beat him, and there was still a big gap between him and the real Clark.
In other words, the power that the Rat Talisman can evolve should be around the level of combat power that Demon Sorcerer previously displayed, or even slightly weaker.
Robet had previously heard Diana mention that the various pantheons' All-Father were roughly at the level of a Skyfather. He didn't know much about God, but he felt that God should also be All-Father of some pantheon, possessing power above that of the Demon Sorcerer at his peak. Therefore, it was almost impossible for the Rat Talisman to evolve into a God.
However, destroying the world isn't actually that difficult. Let alone Clark, even Robet, as long as no one stops him, could destroy the world without much trouble...
"Demon Sorcerer?" Steve keenly caught the new name Robet mentioned, and he looked at Robet with some confusion.
"Yes, Demon Sorcerer is the master of the Talisman, or rather, he is the source of Talisman power. He was sealed away before, and the twelve Talisman were left outside. During the battle, he devoured Valmont, who had collected all twelve Talisman, and regained his freedom. The monster that Superman intercepted was him..." Robet nodded and continued to explain.
"No, the Talisman is far too dangerous! Energy Kid! It's safer to leave such a dangerous thing to S.H.I.E.L.D...." However, before Robet could finish speaking, Hawkeye Barton frowned. He had received a message from Nick Fury and interrupted Robet, shouting.
"Don't kill him!" Steve and Tony Stark's expressions changed upon hearing Hawkeye Barton's words. They noticed that Robet, who had been smiling and speaking, suddenly turned cold. Having witnessed Robet's ruthless side, they shouted almost simultaneously.
With a loud "thump," Robet frowned. Out of respect for Steve and Tony Stark, he slightly withdrew his strength and sent the clueless Hawkeye Barton flying. Hawkeye Barton crashed into the wall and didn't catch his breath for a long time.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, agents rushed out with rifles in hand, all aiming at Robet.
"Hmph!" Robet snorted coldly, and just as he was about to make a move, he found Steve blocking his way. Ostensibly, Steve was blocking the gun aimed at Robet, but in reality, he was preventing Robet from rushing out and killing all the agents in a fit of anger.
"What are you doing? Who let you in? Get out!" Steve straightened his back and spoke in a stern voice, looking at the group of agents.
Upon hearing Steve's words, the agents exchanged glances. They were not Steve's subordinates, but Steve had previously revealed his identity as Captain America during their conversation.
It's fair to say that people from every era who grew up in this country have been deeply influenced by Captain America. The moment Steve decided to fake his death and retire, his historical status was elevated to godlike status. Both the political and military circles have been tirelessly promoting the Captain America spirit, and even Captain America merchandise has made a fortune, though Captain America hasn't received a single penny...
Because of this situation, soldiers and agents trained by both the military and the political establishment are deeply influenced by the spirit of Captain America. It can even be said that in their hearts, Captain America has gradually become a symbol and a belief.
Therefore, when Captain America appeared alive in front of these agents, even though Captain America wasn't the one they were supposed to obey, they still hesitated.
"Get out of here!" Black Widow Natasha frowned, took a deep breath, and dismissed the agents. She didn't think Robet's abilities were something a group of agents could handle, but Robet's sudden attack on Hawkeye Barton deserved an explanation!
Furthermore, Black Widow Natasha also has another mission: to analyze Robet's personality in various aspects and, after assessing Robet, to try to bring Robet into S.H.I.E.L.D.., or rather, into Nick Fury's newly formed Avengers...
"Whoosh!" The agents breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the new order and hurriedly left. If they were asked to shoot Captain America, they would probably hesitate, because it would undoubtedly shatter their former beliefs.
"Why did you suddenly attack Barton?" After the agents left, Black Widow Natasha's ears twitched, and she looked at Robet she questioned him.
"I don't want to hear that nickname again, whether it comes from your mouths or your earphones..." Robet glanced at Black Widow Natasha, then looked at Steve and the other two, saying, "It's good to know you're all alright. By the way, please tell Section 13 that there's no need to worry about the Talisman, because all Talisman have already detonated. You should have heard the explosions..."
"That's the power of the Talisman explosion?" Tony Stark was somewhat surprised, but also slightly relieved, and glad that he hadn't blurted out his nickname, "Nuclear Explosion Kid."
