BXBX NOVEL Chapter 701 - 14.97
"Clarke, release me now. We have to talk with the kids before we leave."
"What?! What do you mean \'we\'? Only I will sacrifice myself here! I will not allow you to die in vain!"
"I will not die in vain, Clarke. Because I will die saving your world. This is your original world, remember?" Yunyu said. "I know you can\'t touch that thing and fly to space because that steel ball will suck your energy. So I will swallow that steel ball, and then you can carry me to space. This is the only thing we can do to save this world."
…
"Wife, even in this situation, I still… I still failed you…."
"No, you never failed me, Clarke. It\'s just our miscommunications because deep down, I still love you wholeheartedly, and so do you, right?"
"Yes, I love you so much, Yunyu."
"We\'re but a slave to our own heart, Clarke…." Yunyu sighed and separated himself from Clarke. He walked into the kids\' direction and crouched, followed by Clarke from behind.
Yunyu hugged his kids, he wouldn\'t lie that he had grown attached to these children, and his maternal instinct also kicked up whenever he remembered about the wellbeing of his children.
"Mom?"
"Mommy…"
"My son, Hermes, you\'re such a strong boy. You are smart and mature at your age. I\'m sorry that you have to see many terrible things between your Mom and Dad."
"But Mom and Dad are always proud of you, my champ. I believe you will be a great man in the future, but for now, please take care of your little sister, okay?"
"Mom…" Hermes clenched his fist, tears started rolling down his cheeks as he could sense the end was near. "Do you really need to leave now? I can teleport us all, including Dad, to somewhere safe."
"Hermes, this is our fate as a superhero. We need to put our lives in front to protect the civilians," Yunyu said.
"… Mom…" Hermes hugged his Mom tightly. He wasn\'t a crybaby, but he wanted to treasure every moment since he knew the end was near. "I will be alone…."
"You\'re not alone, Son. Your little sister is by your side, and I will be watching you from heaven, okay?" Yunyu continued to caress Hermes\' head. And then he shifted his attention at his little daughter.
"Mommy…"
"Oh, little princess, don\'t cry," Yunyu wiped the tears on Artemis\' eyes. "Mommy and Daddy won\'t go far from you. We will stay in here—" Yunyu touched Artemis\' heart. "We will stay in your heart, and nothing will separate us."
"Mommy, will Arte see you again later?"
"Of course, little princess, we will see each other again in the future, don\'t worry about it…."
[Ah, I\'m about to cry right now. It\'s so heartbreaking because we will not be able to see them anymore.]
[Pupa: This is the reality of quick transmigration, bear with it, Yunyu.]
Yunyu kissed Hermes and Artemis\' forehead and then released the kids.
Hermes and Artemis were surprised when their Dad suddenly crouched before them, about to hug them.
They backed off immediately, and that move made Clarke stunned. His body trembled as he realized his children must\'ve been scared of him now.
"Kids, go and hug your Dad. He misses you two so much," Yunyu said.
Hermes and Artemis looked at each other before slowly reaching out to their Dad and hugging him. Clarke used his arms to gather them in his embrace.
"My champ, my little princess, Dad has failed you two. Dad ignored you often, and dad doesn\'t know how to communicate."
"I\'m sorry for being a bad father. I—I don\'t deserve such good kids like you two."
"Hermes, my Champ, you\'re a strong and smart boy. I heard from your teacher once that you want to be an athlete in the future, is that right?"
"Yes, Dad…"
"Artemis, my Little Princess, you\'re Daddy\'s precious daughter. I\'m sorry for breaking our promises many times. If… if there is another chance, then Daddy will buy lots and lots of princess dolls, okay?"
"Promise, Daddy?"
"…I promise."
Clarke then kissed Hermes and Artemis\' forehead, just like Yunyu did before. He got up and stood in front of the kids with Yunyu beside him.
"Hermes, bring your little sister back to Uncle Reed. Don\'t worry about him. He loves you as much as we love you two."
"Now, Mom and Dad have to do our duty to save the city. Because the fate of the city depends on us."
"Oh, one more, Hermes, Artemis… Mommy is sorry because you have a man as your Mother. It must be weird to have me as your mother."
Hermes shook his head, "Mom is the best. I will beat anyone who dares to insult Mom."
"Arte, Arte too! Arte will beat anyone who hurts Mommy!"
"Thank you, children," Yunyu wiped the tears in his eyes. He didn\'t want to look weak in his last moment, especially in front of the kids. "Now go, tell Uncle Reed that I never hate him."
Hermes hugged Artemis, but he didn\'t teleport immediately. He kept staring at his parents and watching as they walked towards their deaths with courage in their hearts.
It was forever implanted in his and Artemis\' mind how brave and mighty their parents were.
Yunyu realized what Hermes intended, so he just smiled at them and walked side by side with Clarke towards the epicenter of the timer nuke, the steel ball that landed right in the middle of the city center.
Everyone watched solemnly as Superbman and this unknown man walked side by side. They were the only people unaffected by the aura created by the steel ball.
[Now I wonder, Pupa, how come I am immune to both Reed\'s disintegration power and Kirktonian stone.]
[Pupa: That\'s because you\'ve swallowed too much semen from Clarke and Reed. So your body naturally absorbed the protein.]
[Hehe, make sense.]
Right, when they reached the steel ball, Superbman suddenly yelled out loud, "HEAR THIS, I, SUPERBMAN, AM MARRIED TO NATURALLY HOE! WE ARE BLESSED WITH TWO KIDS. I MIGHT MAKE MANY MISTAKES, BUT NEVER ONCE DID I EVER THINK OF LEAVING HIM!"
Everyone gasped. Of course, they knew Naturally Hoe, but they didn\'t expect Superbman to marry a man, who happened to be another superhero.
Yunyu chuckled and nudged at Clarke, "You really want to tarnish your reputation here?"
"Nothing worth more than you, Wife. My reputation as Superbman, my job, my world, and everything I do, I do it for you."
Yunyu smiled happily. He wouldn\'t lie that he got so delighted. Clarke finally announced to the world that he had a wife and children.
"Well, it is time, let\'s show a good example for our children. This is the least we could do after so many things happened," Yunyu said. He walked towards the steel ball and picked the nearest flower. Yunyu used his power to engulf the steel ball with vines and opened his mouth.
He swallowed the medium-sized steel ball that had been covered with vines easily, so the nuke was inside his stomach right now.. He looked at Clarke and said, "It\'s time to leave, Husband."
