Chapter 1: My Mother is Martha?
The air was as fresh and clean as it was on the first day of creation.
A gentle breeze, like the hand of God, softly brushed across the golden wheat fields.
On a cool autumn night, a red pickup truck slowly drove along a road on the outskirts of Kansas.
On both sides of the road, the endless wheat fields hummed with the sounds of insects praising life, and fireflies danced leisurely like specks of stars.
The night sky above was filled with stars.
The melodious music from the car radio and the familiar scent of the countryside, mixed with the fresh smell of soil after rain, filled the car.
Jonathan Kent, a new father, had his hand extended out the window, feeling the shape of the wind, a happy curve unknowingly etched on his lips.
"Jonathan, this is God's gift to us."
His wife, Martha, had just left the hospital after giving birth. Her face was still a little pale, but as she looked at the cute, quiet baby nestled in her arms, she gazed as if at the most precious treasure in the world, her eyes filled with an unshakeable, deep love. Her voice, slightly hoarse, was filled with tenderness.
"I'd only longed for a child for a short while, and he's like an angel born."
"God's gift? My mother's name is Martha?"
Looking at his mother, David, now an infant, still couldn't believe what had happened, a hint of helplessness in his heart.
After waking up, he had become a baby.
His mother in this life was named Martha, and his father, Jonathan Kent.
Not only that, but he was born in a hospital called Metropolis General Hospital, which meant something unspoken. He had transmigrated into the notoriously dark DC world and become the son of Superman's adoptive parents.
"Of course, this is God's promise. He will definitely grow healthy and strong..."
Jonathan smiled as he looked at his wife in the rearview mirror, speaking only halfway through.
RUMBLE!
A meteor from the distant universe suddenly tore through the night sky, its fiery red light illuminating half the heavens.
Meteors, large and small, rained down upon the earth, kicking up dirt and rocks. Some even flew towards the small town behind them.
A meteor from the center of the meteor shower fell, like the finger of God, sweeping across the road ahead with destructive speed, creating a chasm of fate that blocked the couple's path.
"Oh my god!"
Jonathan slammed on the brakes. The tires screeched against the asphalt, emitting a burning smell. The car swerved, narrowly avoiding falling into the chasm.
He immediately looked back.
"Martha, are you and the child alright?"
"We're fine, Jonathan." When Martha braked, she had quickly used her body to shield the baby. The infant in her arms was also unharmed.
"The Son of Krypton has arrived on Earth as scheduled, accompanied by the meteor."
The earth trembled with a deafening roar.
Despite the noise, the baby in her arms didn't cry. He was quiet and adorable, with soft, fair skin. He merely blinked his bright eyes and peeked outwards.
"Jonathan, look at our child. He's not scared at all."
Martha's eyes widened in surprise.
Such unusual behavior confirmed that this child was indeed a gift from God.
Looking outside, David felt no fear, only anticipation in his heart.
"Host's birth detected. Loading Thanos template."
He recalled a dispassionate electronic voice in his ear as soon as he was born.
After birth, David had obtained the Thanos template, possessing the powerful Eternal physique.
However, initially, only thirty percent had merged. To speed up the fusion, he needed emotion points.
"Emotion points are acquired by influencing the emotions of characters in the DC world who are either powerful or hold significant sway in the world's destiny."
He had already gained some emotion points from the couple earlier.
"But the arrival of the Son of Krypton is just the beginning."
Through the car window, David's eyes gleamed, as if searching for an immense gold mine, scanning the smoke outside.
"In the DC world, who is more popular and simultaneously powerful than Superman?"
Moreover, upon reaching one hundred percent fusion of the template, the next template would be unlocked!
"What is that?"
Hearing his wife's voice, Jonathan didn't turn his head. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, his attention drawn to a hard, dark, blurry silhouette within the smoke.
"Martha, you and the child stay in the car. Don't come out."
Worried about potential danger, he sternly instructed his wife and got out of the car alone to investigate.
The embers of the meteor still burned on the ground like tiny candlelight, illuminating the darkness.
When Jonathan saw what was in the dust cloud, his eyes widened, and he froze in place.
"Jonathan? Jonathan?
What did you see?"
After calling out twice from the car with no response, Martha, holding the baby, got out and came to his side, worried.
Immediately, she too was stunned in surprise.
Tearing up the road and churning the soil, a dark spacecraft like a baby's cradle, made of some unknown metal and the size of a pickup truck, lay quietly at the end of the deep ditch.
The transparent hatch had opened, and a cute baby with curly hair sat inside. His eyes were bright blue, and he was energetically kicking his little legs. Facing this beautiful and strange world, he smiled innocently and curiously looked at the couple.
"Martha, let's get out of here."
Jonathan snapped back to reality. After a moment's hesitation, he swallowed and, with a hint of urgency, grabbed his wife and child, preparing to leave.
Since ancient times, when people looked up at the starry sky, they always wondered if humanity was alone in the universe.
Now, the question had an answer, and the alien looked surprisingly similar to humans.
"The officials will be here soon."
This event will be strictly sealed. I don't want us to get involved in this trouble."
"Leave?"
David was startled, completely taken by surprise.
Right, Superman's adoptive parents adopted him because Martha desperately wanted a child.
Now they had a child, and it was him.
"Then… does this mean Superman is gone?"
Without these incredibly kind foster parents to find and raise him, what would Superman become?
Taken away by the military, turned into a skeletal experimental subject unseen for over a decade, like in some comic book version?
That wouldn't do. Not to mention how many world-ending crises grown-up Superman had solved. Without Superman, where would he find such a huge resource mine?
"No, perhaps God is especially merciful to us, Jonathan."
At this moment, looking at the adorable child in the spaceship, Martha, a new mother, felt an impulse flood her mind. Instinctively, she didn't want to leave the child here and showed hesitation.
"He sent us more than one angel."
"Martha?" Jonathan called out in surprise.
"Think about what the officials will do to this child when they arrive."
She wasn't unaware of the trouble involved. Kind Martha turned her head, her eyes filled with reluctance, trying to persuade her husband.
"Locked up in a cold laboratory, without parental care, no toys, no affection, growing up through continuous sampling and experimentation…"
"Stop, Martha," Jonathan said, covering his forehead with a pained expression. He shared his wife's kindness, but…
"Goo goo…"
As he hesitated, David, in Martha's arms, extended a short, chubby, fair-skinned arm from the swaddling clothes and waved at the Kryptonian son in the cradle, babbling happily as if he really liked him.
"See, Jonathan."
Martha's eyes lit up, her voice full of surprise. She had found another strong argument to convince her husband.
"Our child seems to really like him, as if he's asking us to adopt him."
"Two votes to one."
Looking at his son's reaction, Jonathan struggled for a moment before feigning helplessness and raising his hand. "Alright, what else can I say?"
He gently kissed his wife, looked at his adorable and lively son, then at the solitary infant in the spacecraft, and sighed.
"Two children, the farm will be busy next year."
