Although the conversation between Monica and Lois was a whisper, there wasn't an ordinary person among those present. Even Tony, who had no superpowers, could hear their conversation clearly with the help of his high-tech armor.
There's an affair!
Everyone's playful gazes made even Clark, who had a thick skin, feel uncomfortable. Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, he spoke to the Planet Devourer, "Could you please wait a moment? I need to handle some private matters."
What else could the Star Eater do?
As a loser, all he could say was...
"Okay, no problem."
The Planet Devourer had already paid tribute to Clark's name through its actions, clearly showing its attitude. Clark nodded in response and immediately turned back.
He was now eager to clarify one thing: who is Lois's mother?
In fact, among those present, Clark was not the only one interested in this question. The gossip-loving spirit of gossip-monger Monica burned even fiercer than Clark's. Monica, who loved stirring trouble, was the first to speak up: "Since you've already admitted you are Clark's child, why not be straightforward and tell us who your mother is?"
Hearing Monica say this, Lois, with a defeated mentality, pointed at the glowing Captain Marvel: "That irresponsible woman!"
Captain Marvel: (⊙_⊙)
Originally, hearing that this hot-tempered brat was Clark's daughter, Captain Marvel, who had clashed with him from their first meeting, was quite happy and even prepared to enjoy a juicy drama with her arms crossed and a smile.
But she never expected the situation to change so swiftly and drastically!
Caught completely off guard, Carol's role in this cosmic drama shifted from an audience member to the lead actress in an instant, plunging this universal powerhouse into confusion!
Indeed, ethical dramas are entertaining to watch, but that's from an audience's perspective! As a protagonist in the story, she didn't find this situation amusing at all.
Received +9999 impression points from Carol Danvers!
Received +9999 impression points from Monica Rambeau!
"Clark!" The one who exploded upon hearing this news was Clark's aunt, Monica Rambeau. Almost immediately, she rushed at superluminal speed to Clark, grabbing the multiverse-level powerhouse by the collar, demanding angrily, "I need a reasonable explanation!"
Clark and Carol, one her younger nephew, the other her childhood idol, suddenly having their descendants appear before her, Monica didn't know how to react.
Should she call Captain Marvel her niece-in-law or Clark her uncle?
Even their family titles were completely messed up!
"Um..." Clark stuttered for a while without making any sense.
Meanwhile, Captain Marvel couldn't hold back anymore and said, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible! I only met Clark once five years ago, and our relationship was not friendly at all, let alone... Even if we step back ten thousand steps, you're already sixteen or seventeen years old, and at that time, I was in the universe maintaining peace, I didn't even know who Clark was!"
Carol was eager to prove her innocence, becoming somewhat incoherent, but her intention was clear.
According to Lois's age, her parents must have united around seventeen or eighteen years ago, around the millennium, when Clark was trapped in the quantum realm, and Carol was adventuring in the universe, making any relationship beyond friendship impossible.
And by the time of their meeting, even if they had formed any relationship beyond friendship, the child would only be about four or five years old at most, not as grown as Lois appeared!
Moreover, she clearly remembered that besides fighting Clark on Morag, resulting in a near mutual destruction, nothing else happened, especially nothing inappropriate for children!
At this moment, Clark had pretty much figured out what was going on and said helplessly to Monica, "Aunt, please calm down, let go of my collar first, I'm a cosmic deity now, and you're embarrassing me. As for the explanation you want, I need to confirm something with Lois first."
Monica reluctantly let go, but her eyes, filled with scorn and interrogation, were fixed on Clark, as if to say, "If you can't explain clearly, I'm going to punish you."
Clark gave a helpless wry smile, flew to Lois, and looking at the girl's face, which bore some resemblance to his, finally asked after a long pause, "You're from the future, or rather, not the future of this world but from a future timeline. Based on your age, did you come back around 2040?"
Although Clark's tone was questioning, his ability to accurately determine Lois's origin and even the year she came from before her time travel made everyone realize he must know something.
What was originally suspected to be a cosmic ethical drama had
now been confirmed.
Hearing Clark's question, Lois finally nodded and said, "You're right, I'm from that timeline. Seeing how you know what's going on, it's better for you to explain it to everyone."
And so, Clark once again became the target of everyone's criticism.
Faced with the disdainful and questioning glances led by his aunt, Clark had no choice but to bluntly explain his journey through the timeline to "Avengers 4" and then added, "After rescuing everyone and defeating Thanos, we had a big party where that timeline's Carol insisted on competing with me in drinking."
"Of course, this can't be blamed on the alcohol." Shrugging his shoulders, Clark didn't shirk responsibility: "Because both the Carol and I of that time could completely resist alcohol, but since we were both competitive and couldn't settle who was stronger through drinking, we decided to have a friendly spar, which led us to Morag... and then it happened."
At that time, Clark and Carol, both not yielding to each other, plus being teammates, couldn't really fight to the death. As the sparring couldn't determine a winner, they switched to another form of combat...
Clark and Carol both approached the friendly spar with the mentality of settling it that day and being strangers the next day.
Clark truly hadn't expected such a friendly match to result in life-changing consequences. Thus, when Lois appeared, Clark only knew she was deeply entangled with his fate, but he had no idea of the actual truth.
Only when Lois publicly identified her mother did Clark have to face reality.
After Clark explained everything, Lois finally spoke again: "It's exactly as this scumbag described, after that incident, he just disappeared." She glanced at Carol again: "And that irresponsible woman, after giving birth to me, left me to save her universe within a month. Since then, I've seen her no more than five times, totaling less than twenty-four hours!"
Clark glanced at Carol, wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent. After all, this Carol wasn't the same as the other, and as the father... well, he hadn't fulfilled his duties either, so he had no right to criticize.
At that moment, Lois's gaze fell back on Clark: "Now that you know who I am, is it too much to ask for $50,000? That's just the child support you owe me!"
What could Clark say?
Lois had been born without him even knowing he had a child, let alone paying any child support.
The support for her first sixteen years would definitely exceed just $50,000...
"Let's talk about this when we get back, and not let the aliens laugh at us." Temporarily using the negotiations with the Star Eater as an excuse to placate everyone, Clark returned to the Star Eater and asked, "Now, I've said Earth is off-limits, your Excellency the Planet Devourer, any objections?"
Seeing Clark's assertive attitude, the Star Eater, realizing it couldn't defeat him, could only reluctantly say, "Actually, I wanted to devour Earth for two important reasons."
Clark nodded slightly: "Go on."
"First, the universe is about to face a major crisis, and devouring Earth could keep the universe safe," the Planet Devourer explained: "I don't know the specific reasons or outcomes, but as a Planet Devourer, I naturally possess certain abilities that have informed me of this. If you want to protect Earth, then please resolve this cosmic crisis."
A cosmic crisis?
Clark's brow furrowed, then he asked, "And the second reason?"
The Star Eater replied, "I'm pregnant and need to consume a lot of nutrients."
Whoosh!
As soon as the Star Eater spoke, the gaze of the Avengers, including Lois from the future, all turned to Clark!
