His entire neck flushed red with embarrassment—why had Clark touched his ear!
His ears were his most sensitive spot!
Even if it hadn't been Clark, anyone who's touching his ears would have made his neck and shoulder burn bright red.
Soren who was surprised and bewildered replied as if it was natural, "What are you talking about, Clark? Of course, I'll always be with you. I'll stay by your side forever. We've known each other for so long—do you really think I'd fall out with you?"
Clark's Kryptonian blue eyes were tinged with a certain purple hue in the sunset.
He smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, and gazed at a cloud in the shifting light and shadows.
"I know, you'll always be by my side," he said with certainty.
Ever since the worldwide "Black Zero Event" a few years ago, superhumans have been emerging like mushrooms after rain.
These superhumans are often referred to as "superheroes."
They appear in every corner of people's lives, helping to fight crime, prevent accidents, and in critical moments, even perform emergency rescues.
The "Black Zero Event" was like opening Pandora's box.
Unprecedented things began to emerge: people grew accustomed to TV programs having dedicated news segments to broadcast local superhero activities.
They'd cheer and applaud the appearance of certain superheroes, and, both online and offline, some superheroes even gained loyal fan clubs.
Recently, on 8chan, the largest superhero fan forum in the U.S., a post has been continuously trending.
[ Casual Chat] Insider scoop: I heard that Lex Luthor's film company is investing in producing a film called <
[ Anonymous (OP): The source is fairly reliable. I heard it's already in the casting phase. Did anyone get more info? ]

Soren slowly typed out a question mark.
[ Soren7891 Reply: Since when Lex Luthor was released? ]
[ kelldricked Reply: The final verdict came out last year. The evidence for the charge of threatening public safety was deemed insufficient, and he was acquitted in court. Is there really anyone who still doesn't know this? ]
[ mydraco_00 Reply: LuthorCorp probably spent a lot of money again this time. Seriously, I suspect that LuthorCorp's yearly revenue all goes toward paying his bail. I'm so fed up with him. When will they actually lock him up for good? Arkham Asylum next door is already crying from hunger. ]
[ Double-happiness Reply: Don't go off the topic, folks. Isn't this thread about the movie <
[ FM019UIL Reply: Agree, I fully support Lex Luthor making an evil Superman movie. The plot sounds really interesting—an alien orphan who falls to Earth with the mission to wipe out all of humanity. I want to see this... ]
[ odfsae Reply: ...I'm speechless. The Justice League's leader sure is unlucky to have someone like Lex Luthor around. Now he's even making a movie to make him a villain. What kind of deep hatred is this? Superman's life is just miserable, capital M miserable. ]
[ 89adffEric_fe Reply: Bro, wake up. This isn't just deep hatred anymore—this is true love (Blushing). ]
[ KaptenNICO123 Reply: F*ck I'm going to shout across the universe—Clex CP is real and it's beautiful. "Make a movie in your name and dedicate it for you"—I've already imagined a million-word tragic love fanfic from this. ]
[ 89adffEric_fn Reply: Ahhh, passing the pen to the user above! Hurry up and write, I want to see your fanfic link on AO3 today! ]
... And then, a neat row of "Me too" followed.

[ r44891 Reply: Why is this thread so off-topic now? Alright, I'll join in. Isn't Superangel CP just as good? Superangel CP is the universal truth! How many people haven't seen the footage from the Black Zero event? Have you all already forgotten the iconic moment when Superman and Angemon teamed up to destroy the World Engine? ]
[ yuuuki Reply: But Superangel CP is already over, isn't it? Superman became the Justice League's leader, and Angemon joined the Avengers. Have they even worked together since the Black Zero event? They haven't interacted at all in years... So sad. I'd rather join the Superbat CP than the Superangel CP at this point. ]
[ consistent_vanilla291 Reply: this thread... I'm staring at my pile of Superangel CP merch, deep in thought... ]
[ gudylibobo Reply: Wait, @yuuuki, don't scare people! Can you not mention that unspeakable name? Don't you know some people are monitoring this forum 24/7?! I have a bad feeling this thread is about to disappear... ]
[ FORTHEYOU Reply: Don't blow this up, people above... Saying Superbat isn't a big deal, right? It's not like we're spreading dirt on them... I don't think the Justice League is that petty... ]
[ 138923872ab Reply: Superbat is the real deal, okay? Look at all the things they've been through—light and dark, life and death, trusting each other with their backs... They even have a safe word, "Martha"! When I first heard that, I got a massive nosebleed. I can't believe the real canon is so sweet! ]
[ nf_fee_asta Reply: LOL, a safe word? That's wild! ]
[ alienEmily Reply: I'm not listening, I'm not listening! Superangel is the best! Superangel was my first love, ahhhh! ]
[ bittenbyspider Reply: But I don't think Superman deserves Angemon, in any way. According to the latest data released by the Avengers (assuming it's accurate), Angemon's battle damage compensation this year is way lower than Superman's. Plus, Angemon debuted earlier than Superman. When Angemon started making headlines, Superman was still just a flying man in Metropolis. To be honest, I've always wondered why they chose Superman to be the chairman of the Justice League. Why not Batman or Wonder Woman? ]
[ cxmmoba Reply: Please no spicy takes in the casual chat thread, thanks. Where did this random jumper come from? Jump in and break a leg, huh? ]
[ SkywalkerSH Reply: @bittenbyspirer, Where on earth did you get this conclusion? So what if Superman has high battle damage? It's because he's strong in combat, is that a problem? If he doesn't become the Justice League chairman, are you going to do it? ]
