The Black King Template

Knock-Knock!

Clark was knocking on the door of Chloe's house.

Chloe, who was taking an afternoon nap after lunch, went downstairs with pillow marks on her sleepy face. When she saw Clark outside the door, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, feeling a little puzzled.

"Clark, you came over without calling, is there some emergency matter?"

"Chloe, is Uncle at home?" Clark, who had changed back to his normal look, looked inside, not looking like the tough look he had put on with David earlier.

"He didn't come back from the factory, and I have to cook by myself again at noon", Chloe complained.

Chloe's father worked as a department manager in the fertilizer factory managed by Luthor, and he was usually busy with work.

"Our family has encountered some troubles, Chloe, can you help me?"

Clark asked.

"Trouble? Come in."

Facing a friend's request for help, although Chloe was puzzled, she didn't refuse and welcomed him into the house.

"Our family's farm..."

On the sofa in the living room, Clark quickly told what happened.

"I need information about this Mr. Rickman."

"With a handshake, how can someone sell their farmland which was maintained with so much hard-working?"

Chloe, who likes to explore such strange things the most, suddenly became energetic.

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get the computer."

She quickly ran upstairs.

Clark touched the blue hood hidden in his trouser pocket.

He plans to first find out whether Rickman is an ability user, then get the other party's address from Chloe, and then go to his door to settle the matter.

After a while, Chloe excitedly ran down with her laptop and was about to search for various information about Rickman when she turned on the computer. She suddenly remembered something and looked outside the door suspiciously.

"By the way, why don't I see David?"

His farm and house were going to be taken away. How could David not follow with such a big event?

"David..."

Clark scratched his head and didn't know what to say. As soon as he heard his brother's promise to not interfere, he immediately launched with super speed and came to Chloe's house, for fear of wasting a little time and losing to his brother again.

As for what David is doing now, he doesn't know either.

...

On the outskirts of the town, in the vast and silent forest.

Whoosh!

A figure approaching the speed of sound appeared and stopped suddenly, and the gust of wind swept the fallen leaves in front of it.

[Thanos template has been fused 100%]

[Loading new template]

[New template loading... 1%... 3%]

After stopping his body and confirming no one was around, David looked at the information in front of him.

Just now he wanted to reject Clark's proposal of doing things in his own way, but suddenly the integration of Thanos' template was completed.

After Clark ran away, he immediately came to this uninhabited forest, ready to meet the fusion of the second template.

"It's the first time the two templates are going to be fused, so better be careful."

David didn't want to make some noise in front of the farm and worry his parents.

"What will the new template be?" His eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Suddenly, the body became hot and continued to heat up. It was as if hot magma was rushing inside the blood vessels, and the cosmic energy contained in every cell was surging.

Bones crackled.

Deep in the body, it seemed that something was merging.

His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and David looked at his hands, the skin that had turned purple due to the use of strength beyond ordinary people was fading slightly.

He touched his chin, and the original ravine-like lines that Thanos had were decreasing.

Crackle!

A purple energy ripple-like electric current sprang out from his hand.

A big tree in the distance was hit, and immediately seemed to be swept by a laser, and there was a hideous wound more than ten centimeters deep with sparks on the tree.

Swish Swish Swish!

Ripples of energy shot out, and the surrounding trees were swept down.

The cosmic energy contained in the body was roaring, and David felt that as the new template is loaded and integrated, the previously unusable hidden energy in the body was breaking through some obstacles.

Like a raging tide about to break through the dam, there seemed to be something stuffed in his chest, and there was a feeling that it was about to come out after being suppressed, and he punched out with a low growl.

hum!

David's fist released a purple high-concentration cosmic energy light wave, which roared away, instantly piercing through the tall trees in front of him, and blasting straight through hundreds of meters of distance.

There was a fist-sized hole in the body of all the big trees directly in front, and the bark and wood were burned to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, it spread to a range of nearly one mile, and he hurriedly gathered back his energy.

...

"Bob Rickman, forty-two years old this year, studied at Smallville Township High School in high school, graduated from Kansas Western University, and worked in farm equipment sales after graduation." Chloe read out the computer and searched for information about Rickman.

She is proficient in computer technology and once developed a program that can centralize and summarize the searched information so that it was more convenient for her to write articles in the school newspaper.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Rickman, who is going to open a chemical plant in our town, is not only a local but also our senior?"

She curled her lips while browsing the latest business plan released by Rickman Enterprise.

"Is this how he gives back to his hometown?"

"Is there anything strange about him?"

Clark was more concerned about other aspects.

"Let me see..."

"After graduating, he was engaged in the sales industry, and his performance was at the bottom. He was almost fired, but in his second year, he made rapid progress and occupied the top sales list for three consecutive years. He later founded his own company with huge bonuses and started to struggle in the business world..." Thinking of Clarke's strange words before, about him persuading Uncle Jonathan to sell the land and house, Chloe found this suspicious.

"Even though he is often criticized for the chaotic management of the company, he still lives smoothly. He has successfully negotiated with big businesses one after another and earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Does that count?"

"Was his second year when he began to make progress, 1991?"

"Yes, it was 1991."

The year that the meteor shower came.

Clark took a deep breath, thinking that David was correct in his guess.

Chloe affirmed that no one in this town would forget the year of the meteorite shower even without looking through the news to compare the year.

"Where does he live now? Chloe."

Now there was only one question left, and Clark stood up excitedly.

"No. 146, Monte Street, Metropolis."

Chloe was a little puzzled by Clark's reaction but answered anyway.

"Thank you, Chloe, I'll treat you to your favorite Crème brûlée next time. I have to leave right now."

Hearing the address, Clark thanked her and left happily.

Not only is he far faster than David, but with the help of Chloe, he saved the time of inquiring about Rickman, so he will definitely win this time.

"Wait a minute!"

Chloe saw a piece of news on the webpage, her face changed, and she ran out to greet Clark.

But it was discovered that Clark's figure had disappeared in the open space in front of the door.

During extreme running, unlike David's speed, where people can still see the trajectory of movement. Clark is so fast that people can't see him, running in a flash. He quickly took out the blue hood from his pocket and put it on his head with piercing eyes.

He will definitely be one step ahead of his brother this time.

But Clark didn't know that David hadn't set off yet, and he even planned to leave this matter to him alone first.

...

Boom!

Smoke and dust rose everywhere in the forest, and the dull sound startled the birds.

The energy on the purple skin disappeared, David clenched his fists excitedly, and the majestic power in his body surged like waves.

In the past, he could only feel the cosmic energy that could not be mobilized, but now he just raised his palm and sent it out like from a finger.

The beam of energy light hit a dead and fallen old tree in the distance.

Under the huge condensed energy, the entire piece of wood was annihilated, and not even a single residue remained.

[The new template has been loaded - the Black King Template has been fused by 30%]

"Mutant Black King?"

David's eyes were filled with unexpected joy.

Now he knows why, the energy that could not be released before can now be released!

"Not only that but there are also other abilities. The fusion of the two templates and my body seems to be more than just one plus one!"

He clenched his fists, and dazzling purple rays burst out from his eyes.
