"This guy!"
Kara looked at the photo of Eric, unsure what expression to make.
Although she wanted to show her disdain and anger towards him, the thought that Eric had, to some extent, saved many people forced her to temporarily put aside her dissatisfaction with Eric.
"Forget it, even though you're a jerk, I'll be gentle this time!"
She operated the mouse, scrolling down the webpage, and her brows furrowed even more when she saw the other photos on the page.
The subsequent photos still showed Eric fighting a guy who looked like a chimpanzee.
The first picture showed Eric standing in the ruins, his body slightly angled towards the "chimpanzee," one hand gripping the other's neck, seemingly speaking.
The "chimpanzee" in the picture was being choked by Eric, wearing a very pained expression, and desperately reaching out its arms, trying to interfere with Eric's movements.
This picture unexpectedly highlighted Eric's handsomeness!
The second picture showed a moment amidst swirling dust, on uneven ground full of rubble and broken stones, as if an earthquake had occurred. Eric held the "chimpanzee's" outstretched fist, blocking its attack.
Eric's calmness, combined with the "chimpanzee's" terror, created an unexpectedly vivid scene!
The third photo was somewhat blurry. Amidst the swirling dust, Eric's cape billowed as he clasped the "chimpanzee's" neck with both hands, slamming him into the ground.
The rising dust obscured Eric's face, but his somewhat terrifying expression was still visible.
He looked like an enraged lion!
"Hmm."
Looking at this picture, Kara fell into contemplation.
Unconsciously, she compared herself to Eric.
If she were in Eric's shoes, could she so easily suppress this monster?
Although she wasn't entirely clear about the strength of the chimpanzee-like guy.
However, based on the extent of the surrounding architectural damage and the information provided by netizens' comments below the post, Kara still had a rough guess about the opponent's strength.
Able to fly effortlessly at supersonic speeds, identified as the leader of these demon-like creatures, and still full of vigor despite being severely beaten by Eric, even having enough energy to escape in the end.
Even she wouldn't say she could easily defeat someone of this strength.
To what extent had the strength of her distant relative reached?
Kara watched the pictures on the computer while picking up a ballpoint pen and twirling it around her right index finger.
Although she was confident in her own strength, she wasn't confident enough to contend with Eric.
After all, she had never experienced any real combat, at most just dealing with street Xiao Hunhun.
She couldn't compare to this pervert who fought aliens and monsters every day!
This was also the reason she had never appeared beside Eric and Clark.
Once she revealed herself, she had to immediately display her strength to completely awe her two cousins, thereby establishing her authority!
This was what she had always wanted to do!
The ballpoint pen in Kara's hand stopped spinning, and she slapped it onto the desk with a "thud."
With a crisp "thud," the sound of the ballpoint pen hitting the desk echoed unusually loudly in the empty room.
After a moment of thought, Kara refocused her attention on the post she was currently reading.
Slowly scrolling to the very bottom of the page, she browsed through the netizens' comments.
She had expected discussions about the aliens' identity or their purpose for invading Earth, but to her surprise, all the comments were about Homelander.
Praise accounted for the majority, with the rest being discussions about whether Homelander ruling humanity would be a better thing.
Watching the heated discussions and the outrageous comments in the post, Kara felt her worldview being refreshed again.
Is this even allowed?
"I am Mexican and once worked in the state of Mexico for a while. First, at 'Giant' supermarket, then at gas stations. I changed gas station jobs several times before returning to my hometown. I don't know what you Americans think, but I envy your current life in America. No robberies, no conflicts, you don't have to worry about someone suddenly rushing out and shooting you dead."
A netizen with the username "Mexican Burrito Sucks" left the above comment.
Below it were countless likes.
It seemed many people agreed with his statement.
"Uh."
Kara fell into thought looking at this comment.
While finding the Mexican's thoughts always so bizarre, Kara forced herself to forget this comment.
But when she saw the next comment from "Mexican Burrito Sucks," she completely lost it.
"I hope Homelander rules us!"
"Mexican Burrito Sucks" urgently expressed his desire to be ruled by Homelander.
This comment, however, received more dislikes.
Many people verbally attacked this Mexican, saying, "I think we'd better build a wall high enough, a wall that can block Homelander, so Homelander won't fly to Mexico and won't have to deal with their mess."
"Uh."
Are your IQs really that low?
What kind of outrageous statements are these?!
Kara was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt her body getting warm.
Was she wearing too many clothes?!
She let out a long breath and unbuttoned her top.
After trying to calm herself down, she continued to read.
A netizen with the username "That Rainbow Pony" commented:
"I lost a bicycle at Squirrel Park in Metropolis before, and after reporting it to the police, those cops just brushed me off and told me to leave. They're a bunch of irresponsible jerks! That was the third time I lost a bicycle in a month. Later, after Homelander ruled us, I achieved a record: I haven't lost a single bicycle in four months. Our new President has made our lives better, why would anyone oppose him?! I'm very confused and angry!
He is our savior! Our complete protector!"
This was clearly a staunch supporter of Eric!
Kara thought to herself.
Continuing to scroll down, a netizen commented below "That Rainbow Pony's" message:
"Yes, and those street gangs don't dare to show their faces anymore. I live on Naihe Island in Gotham City, and before, gangs ran rampant here, constantly engaging in gunfights on the streets. Even if you hid at home, you could still be hit by a stray bullet! I must say, it's much better now; those gang Xiao Hunhun have reined in a lot! These are all changes that happened after our new President took office!"
"Yes, this alien incident, if it weren't for our new President, many people would have died! He saved all of us again!"
Looking at these similar comments, Kara finally gave up on the idea of finding some more rational comments. (っ◔◡◔)っ
It seemed everyone regarded Eric, this "dictator," as a heroic savior!
But...
Kara dejectedly flicked the ballpoint pen on her desk.
With a "clatter," the ballpoint pen, with her slight force, flew directly towards the blackboard.
With a "thump," the tip of the ballpoint pen embedded itself into the wall to the left of the blackboard.
Wall dust crumbled down.
"But this is clearly wrong. If someone wants to protect this world, they wouldn't put this world in a bottle and treat it as their own possession. People should have the right to choose, either good or bad, and then take responsibility for their own choices! Not like you, Eric, making choices for them!"
Kara is a Kryptonian, but like Clark, after living on Earth for so many years, she considered herself part of Earth.
"You've castrated humanity, Eric!"
Kara said in a low, frustrated voice, walking to the blackboard and retrieving the ballpoint pen, whose tip was now damaged.
Looking out the window, the sun had completely set, and boundless darkness had already enveloped the campus.
Kara put away the ballpoint pen, looked at the night outside the window, and sighed again.
She took out her phone and sent a text message to her mother.
She told her mother she would be having dinner at a friend's house tonight and would be home a little later.
Opening the window and looking up at the moon that had just appeared, Kara slowly opened her hands and jumped out of the fifth-floor window.
She didn't fall vertically; instead, after hovering in the air for a second, she flew towards the sky.
Having already awakened her Kryptonian superpowers, flying in the air was naturally a piece of cake for her.
Bang!
Accelerating continuously in the air, pushing aside the clouds, Kara flew straight ahead.
Her speed increased steadily, surpassing the speed of sound in a short time.
The "bang bang bang" sounds of air explosions, like thunder, echoed in the sky.
Her destination for this flight was the North Pole!
That was where her spaceship crashed!
But what puzzled her was that after she left the spaceship that crashed in the North Pole, when she returned to the North Pole again, she found that her spaceship was gone!
She clearly remembered the spaceship was in that exact location, so why would it disappear?!
This had been the question lingering in her mind for so many years.
If she could find the key inside the spaceship, she could open it.
Some Kryptonian knowledge was hidden inside the Kryptonian spaceship, and Kara hoped to use this knowledge to make herself stronger.
Especially after today's "alien invasion" incident, her sense of crisis grew even stronger.
She needed to become stronger to have a chance of defeating Eric in future conflicts.
As for Clark...
At this moment, Kara had already regarded Clark as a "weak younger brother" who was inferior to her.
After all, whether it was the Kryptonian invasion or this "demon invasion," Clark was like a little transparent.
She was confident that although she might not be able to defeat Eric now, beating up Clark was not a problem.
