Chapter 537 Kryptonite
"A consultant? How much is the salary? What are the benefits?"
Andrew asked casually. To put it nicely, it was a consultant, but in reality, he was just a tool. Although he was a war hero, he had been missing for decades and was Wonder Woman's boyfriend, so the official would not trust him.
"You're a billionaire, and you're still thinking about such a small salary?"
General Calvin complained. He said, "Don't worry, the salary will definitely be higher than mine. Also, you will get some special privileges."
"Working for money is only natural. What's the problem?"
Andrew snorted coldly and said, "No need for a consultant, there are too many restrictions. Give me the special privileges, and I will be this bridge."
"Alright."
General Calvin did not refuse. After they talked for a while, General Calvin said goodbye and left. He was very busy. Next year, he was going to compete for the position of Secretary of Defense.
General Calvin was a very ambitious… Martian.
After sending General Calvin away, Andrew went to the Daily Planet's president's office. Today, two people were coming for interviews.
Wearing a suit and black-rimmed glasses, Clarksuppressed a smile and said to Andrew, "Hello, my name is Clark Kent, and I'm here to interview for a news reporter position."
Andrew looked at the resume and asked, "Isn't your education a bit low?"
Clark was a little embarrassed. He had no problem with knowledge, but he had been wandering around and had no time to improve his education.
After this incident, Superman's heart was completely settled. He no longer wandered around and was ready to find a formal job, working while protecting the world.
"Just kidding, don't be so serious. Go find Perry, he will arrange a job for you."
Andrew signed the recruitment letter and said with a smile, "Also, as an insider, I allow you to embezzle travel allowances."
"Am I supposed to say thank you?"
Clark didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Andrewthought of something and asked, "By the way, have you dealt with Kara's matter?"
"For now, I'm letting her live with Martha, my mother."
Clark said, "Once she adapts to Earth's environment and her strengthened body, I'll figure out a way to find her a foster family and let her live as a normal person."
"A normal person? That works too."
Andrew nodded and said, "If you need any help with your life, just ask. Tony, Batman, and I are basically so rich that we only have money left."
"You're actually showing off, aren't you?"
Clark complained, then he took the recruitment letter and left the president's office to find Perry.
Louise looked at Clark walking out, speechless. Did no one really recognize him as the popular Superman, known as the God on Earth?
"Do glasses really make that much of a difference?"
Louise complained, and then she quietly called Perry, asking him to assign Clark to her, so that no other bad woman would get to him first.
After Clark left, another interviewee walked into the office. He was a handsome Asian man who asked somewhat confusedly, "Sir, I'm just confirming again, is this really the interview location?"
This Asian man was Ryan Choi, born in Hong Kong, with a Ph.D. in nuclear physics. At the same time, he was skilled in nanotechnology. The job he was interviewing for was research supervisor at Stark Industries's nanotechnology laboratory.
The problem was, this was the Daily Planet's president's office. These two were completely unrelated, right? It was like signing up for the army at McDonald's.
"Don't worry, you didn't go to the wrong place. I'm just too lazy to run back and forth. With that much effort, I might as well go home and accompany my girlfriend."
Andrew said, "Please sit, Mr. Cai."
Ryan Choi, the future Atom, appeared in the Justice League Director's Cut.
Of course, Andrew wouldn't mind having too many Super Heroes. When he saw his job application, he directly called him over.
"That's good."
Ryan Choi breathed a sigh of relief, then he sat down and introduced his resume in detail, and also talked a lot about his ideas and prospects for nanotechnology.
Andrew leaned back in his chair and asked, "Why did you apply to Stark Industries? With your resume, almost no company would refuse you."
"Because Mr. Stark's nanotech battle suit is a miracle, and I want to learn from him."
Ryan Choi said with admiration. A few days ago, he saw a video of Iron Man transforming online and was amazed. He directly gave up the job offer from Star Labs and came to interview at Stark Industries.
"To learn from Tony, you need to show your value. Only true geniuses can catch his eye."
Andrew stood up, extended his hand, and said, "Mr. Cai, welcome to the Nanotechnology Laboratory."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Ryan Choi was overjoyed. He was confident that he could make Tony Stark look at him with new eyes, because he was a true genius.
"Observe him for a while. If he has a fortuitous encounter, that's naturally good. If not, I'll give him a Pym Particlesbelt."
Looking at Ryan Choi's departing back, Andrew thought to himself, "Pym Particles still have a lot of room for development, and he is a suitable candidate."
...
Somewhere in Space, the alien prison Luozi Fort, which had escaped from the Phantom Zone, was quietly suspended in Space.
Inside the prison, General Zod had already taken control, and all prisoners and guards were under his control.
This prison, in addition to Kryptonian prisoners, also had many prisoners from other planets.
"There are still so many Kryptonians, that's really great."
General Zod looked at the group of Kryptonian prisoners in front of him, overjoyed. At this time, every Kryptonianwas very important.
"I never thought that Kryptonian would be destroyed, and even more, I never thought that everyone else would die, and only we prisoners would survive. It's truly ironic."
The speaker was Austra, Kara's aunt, a KryptonianCommander.
"It is indeed quite ironic."
General Zod said, "I won't waste any more words. I only ask you one question: are you willing to rebuild Kryptonian with me?"
The Kryptonian prisoners looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
General Zod was very satisfied. This group of prisoners was much better than that traitor Kal-El.
Thinking of Kal, General Zod gnashed his teeth. If he had helped, Kryptonian would have been reborn long ago, and Fiora and the others would not have sacrificed themselves.
The Scientist asked, "General, what's next? Attack Earth again?"
"Wait a moment, our last failure was because we were too hasty."
General Zod shook his head, "First, send some alien prisoners to Earth to gather intelligence. Also, during this time, we will sunbathe as much as possible to increase our strength."
"In addition to investigating Earth's intelligence, we must also quickly ascertain the whereabouts of the book of rao."
The Scientist said, "Even with the Genesis Chamber, without the book of rao, Kryptonian still cannot be restored."
"Only Kal knows where the book of rao is."
General Zod did not pursue the Scientist's previous deception. He said, "One step at a time, Kryptonian will definitely be reborn on Earth."
All Kryptonians shouted simultaneously, "KryptonianEternity!"
...
A month later.
In the underground base of Stark Industries's New Yorkheadquarters, Tony pointed to the large amount of wreckage in front and said, "All the wreckage of the World Engine has been brought back. These things are not easy to get. Many of them were at the bottom of the sea, and salvaging them was very difficult."
"Also, transporting these things into America took a lot of my energy. Many connections needed to be opened, and I even bribed three senators. The senators in this universe are much greedier than in our universe."
"Things that can be solved with money are not problems."
Andrew walked to the wreckage, then he smashed open a large rock, revealing a glowing green ore inside.
Tony asked curiously, "What is this?"
"I sense that this thing is very interesting."
Andrew cut a small piece from the glowing ore, then he held the small ore close to Fiora. Fiora clearly showed an uncomfortable expression.
Andrew pretended to think for a moment, then used the small ore to cut Fiora's finger. The Kryptonian, who was impervious to weapons, was actually cut with a small incision.
"This ore can actually harm Kryptonians?"
Tony's eyes widened, his face full of excitement. This month of hard work was worth it.
"These ores might be the bane of Kryptonians."
Andrew said, "Tony, conduct experiments and carefully verify the efficacy of these ores. Uh, do it yourself, don't let anyone else participate."
"Leave it to me."
Tony didn't waste words and immediately began experiments. Several hours later, he concluded, "Let's call this ore Kryptonite. It can cause Kryptonian cells to decay."
"If there's a large amount of Kryptonite, you don't need to do anything. Just place them next to a Kryptonian, and the Kryptonian will fall into weakness and be unable to move."
"I knew it, how could such a powerful race not have a bane? It's too unbalanced for the entire race to be so powerful."
"Very good."
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. He said, "With Kryptonite, when General Zod comes again next time, it will be his death."
"Tony, separate all the Kryptonite. Then, weaponize most of the Kryptonite, and use the rest for research to see if we can replicate Kryptonite. We have too little Kryptoniteon hand."
"Good idea."
Tony said excitedly, "Leave it to me. I'll make Kryptonitespray, Kryptonite bullets, Kryptonite guns. I guarantee General Zod will get a big surprise."
"As for replicating Kryptonite… it shouldn't be a problem, but it will take some time."
"I'll leave it to you."
Andrew said, "By the way, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Absolutely no one else can know. If it leaks out, the Kryptonians might overhear."
"Understood, Kryptonians' hearing is incredibly abnormal."
Tony nodded. He said, "Speaking of which, Batman is very dishonest. He secretly invaded Stark Industries's servers a while ago, and I followed the trail, invaded his Batcave, and stole a lot of data."
"It's a shame that guy couldn't take it and just pulled the network cable."
Andrew said disdainfully, "You're just like him. You didn't invade S.H.I.E.L.D. any less back then."
"How is that the same? I wasn't caught, was I?"
Tony shouted in dissatisfaction. Andrew was speechless. He complained, "Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is, the difference between a success and a failure."
Tony said self-righteously. Andrew gave him the middle finger. How did this person become a Super Hero?
Chapter 538: Task Force X
"Batman has always been vying with me for control of the Justice League. He not only hacked into my company but also went to Central City to train Barry and win him over."
Tony continued, "Barry has officially debuted and often does good deeds in Central City. Although there are occasional accidents, overall, he's doing quite well.
Of course, Clark is even more impressive; Metropolis's crime rate has plummeted because of his presence.
As for Aquaman, he's the same as before, either drinking every day or running into the ocean to save people.
And our Wonder Woman is traveling the globe with her boyfriend, constantly wrapped up in each other."
"That's called living."
Andrew said, "Batman helped Barry train, but didn't you also help Cyborg master his Abilities and reconcile his relationship with his father?"
"That was to prevent Cyborg from going down the wrong path."
Tony said, "Online, he's as powerful as a god. He needs a senior like me to guide him properly."
Andrew said, "Guidance is one thing, but don't get too close. I believe Cyborg's father doesn't want a male daughter-in-law."
Tony was so angry he cursed, "Get lost! Isn't this all the mess you created?"
Andrew laughed, breaking off a piece of Kryptonite, preparing to make an engraving pen.
"Oh, right, Some Demon Lord."
Tony thought of something and asked, "Can you give this body of mine the Ability to work overtime? No, wait, the Ability to have infinite energy.
I can't stand working overtime for a few days now; it's too terrible. You know, I used to work overtime every day."
"I know, you're the man destined to become the King of Overtime."
Andrew scoffed. He said, "The Cosmic Storm instrument is too troublesome to set up; it requires a lot of time.
How about I put a magic array on you that concentrates your life force into the next seven years?
If I do that, you'll have endless energy for the next seven years, but as soon as the seven years are up, you'll immediately die."
"No thanks, I can wait. You can take your time making the Cosmic Storm instrument."
Tony flatly refused. He wanted to keep this clone so that after everything was over, he could have two bodies, which would be super fun.
"Suit yourself. Finish the Kryptonite weapon as soon as possible."
Andrew shrugged, returning to his lab with Fiora. Then, he looked at Fiora, stroking his chin:
"I have the Kryptonite engraving pen, so I can engrave a magic array on Fiora. The problem is, the magic arrayneeds magic power, and I can't use magic power, and Diana's magical attainment isn't enough.
It seems I need to find a magician to help me out."
Andrew planned to strengthen Fiora using both scientific and magical methods. This was his trump card, and she had to be powerful enough.
In terms of technology, with Kryptonite, all kinds of enhancements were not a problem; it just required some time.
In terms of magic, because he couldn't personally intervene, Andrew needed to find a magician to help.
It couldn't just be any magician; they needed to have a certain understanding of runes and magic arrays.
Additionally, the magic in the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe was slightly different, and Andrew needed some time to integrate them.
Andrew smiled slightly, "Slowly, the best is yet to come."
Just then, Andrew's phone rang. Diana said, "My boyfriend, haven't you finished work yet? I need someone to help me apply sunscreen."
"Why does a demigod still need sunscreen?"
Andrew secretly grumbled. Of course, he wouldn't be so insensitive. He said, "Coming right away. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the service."
With that, Andrew had Fiora take him to a private island in the Pacific Ocean, which he had bought to play on a while ago.
Speaking of which, Fiora was really useful. With her around, airplanes and such could be phased out.
...
Time flew by, and another month passed.
In the Department of Defense in Washington, Sky Eye Society's high-ranking official Amanda Waller, a stout black woman, was introducing her Task Force X plan to a group of generals:
"Simply put, it's about repurposing a bunch of villainous wastes. They are villains, and no one will feel bad if they die. Moreover, if anything goes wrong, they can be immediately silenced, so there's no need to worry about the truth leaking out."
"I don't care about villains or not."
A white-haired general asked, "I just want to ask one thing: can your Task Force X deal with the Justice League? Can it deal with that Superman who flies around in the sky?"
General Calvin said with dissatisfaction, "Superman is our ally, and so is the Justice League."
"He's an ally now, but how do you know he won't rush into the White House someday and turn us all into slaves?"
The white-haired general shouted, "The other members of the Justice League are fine, but Aliens are not to be trusted."
It should be specially noted here that this white-haired general is named Sam Lane, he is Louise Lane's father, which is Superman's future father-in-law.
That's right, Superman's future father-in-law is a staunch anti-Alien.
General Calvin was about to speak when Amanda said, "Task Force X might not be able to deal with the other members of the Justice League, but we should be able to deal with Superman."
Everyone asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Really. According to the information we've received, Superman is powerless against magic."
Amanda said, "And in Task Force X, there's a witch who has lived for thousands of years."
Everyone was very shocked, "A witch who has lived for thousands of years?"
"That's right, a witch who has lived for thousands of years."
Amanda nodded. She projected a hologram and introduced, "Some time ago, Dr. June Moone, an archaeologist, discovered a statue in the Amazon rainforest. She accidentally released the witch sealed inside the statue.
The witch, named June Moore, has lived for thousands of years. Because her original body was destroyed, she possessed Dr. Moone's body.
Fortunately, she was brought under our control before she could cause any damage."
General Calvin asked, "Where is that witch now?"
"Right here in this conference room."
Amanda raised her hand, and a woman in a gray suit with a fragile expression stood up and greeted everyone. Beside her was a strong man, Colonel Rick Frege, her boyfriend.
"Are you crazy? You brought a witch among us?"
A group of generals were startled and quickly moved away from the witch. Some even prepared to call the guards for help.
"Don't worry, she's completely under my control."
Amanda opened a box containing a strange heart. She said, "Her heart is in my hand. Once the heart is destroyed, she will immediately die."
The generals felt a little relieved upon hearing this. General Lane asked with interest, "What are her Abilities?"
"Many magical Abilities."
Amanda said to June, "Call out the witch."
June was clearly reluctant and looked at Frege. Fregesighed and said, "Go ahead."
June nodded and whispered, "Witch."
Immediately after, the lights in the conference room flickered. When the lights returned to normal, the generals found that June had transformed into a primal witch shrouded in black mist.
Someone couldn't help but make the sign of the cross, "Oh God."
General Lane said, "Specific Abilities, we're not here to watch a magic show."
"Witch, go to Mossad and steal a document."
Amanda ordered. The witch gave her a cold glance, then her body turned into mist and disappeared. A few seconds later, she appeared beside General Lane, throwing a document on the table.
General Lane flipped through the document and found that it was a classified file that their military had spent a lot of effort trying to obtain, and the witch had gotten it in a few seconds.
"Amanda, you've really given us a big surprise."
General Lane said excitedly. This single teleportation Ability alone was enough to prove the witch's power.
"Her Abilities are indeed very powerful, but the question is, Amanda, can you control her?"
General Calvin said, "She's a witch who has lived for thousands of years. Once she loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Don't worry, I can control her."
Amanda placed a ballpoint pen above the witch's heart and shouted, "Go back."
The witch glared at Amanda with murderous intent but dared not act presumptuously, whispering, "Witch."
The lights flickered again, and the witch changed back into June. June looked terrified and retreated repeatedly. Frege quickly stepped forward to hug and comfort her.
"From every perspective, the establishment of Task Force X is necessary."
Amanda said to the generals, "Of course, I'm not saying we should deal with the Justice League, but we must have the strength to deal with them. We cannot pin our hopes on their benevolence."
"I completely agree with your view."
General Lane nodded with satisfaction. He said to everyone, "Task Force X, there is a need to establish it."
The other generals agreed. General Calvin hesitated for a moment and said, "I can agree, but Amanda, keep a close eye on your witch. If anything happens, you will be fully responsible."
Amanda smiled, "No problem, she certainly won't cause any trouble."
From then on, Task Force X, commonly known as the Suicide Squad, was officially established. Amanda was full of pride, but she didn't know then that the Suicide Squad's first mission would be a disaster.
Half a month later, Andrew and Diana were strolling along the beach in Hawaii, enjoying the sea breeze. Dianawore a white dress and a sun hat, looking every bit the goddess.
The surrounding tourists didn't realize that Diana was the now famous Wonder Woman, but this didn't stop them from frequently glancing at her, as Diana was truly captivating.
As for Fiora, she was flying in the sky, serving as a dutiful bodyguard, although neither Andrew nor Diana needed her protection.
"It's nice to go out and stroll around."
Andrew, wearing beach shorts, said, "Speaking of which, why didn't I ever go out and stroll around before? I remember now, it's because I didn't have a great beauty by my side before."
"Your cheesy pick-up lines are as cheesy as they used to be."
Diana retorted. Andrew asked, "Is that a compliment or a disdain?"
"Don't you see the smile on my face?"
Diana smiled, "We have plenty of time. Let's visit every place on Earth and leave our mark everywhere."
"No problem. Once we've explored Earth, if you're interested, I'll accompany you on a Space trip."
Andrew said, "In short, being happy is the most important thing."
Chapter 539 Midway City
"Space?"
Diana hesitated, then shook her head, "Let's skip Spacefor now. After we've explored Earth, we'll return to Paradise Island to meet my mother, Amazon QueenHippolyta."
"Is this to meet the mother-in-law?"
Andrew blinked. He had so many girlfriends, but it seemed like this was his first time meeting a mother-in-law? What was the procedure?
Wait, the entire Amazon tribe consisted of unmarried old women. Wouldn't the pressure be a bit immense for a son-in-law suddenly showing up?
"You haven't been to Paradise Island before? Oh, right, once you're on the island, you need to be careful. After all, you abducted the Queen's daughter."
Diana chuckled. Andrew said, "Wow, that sounds pretty scary. Uh, does she have any other daughters? I'd like to abduct another one."
"You wish."
As the two were being affectionate, Andrew's phone suddenly blared an alarm.
"I told Alice not to disturb me unless it was important. Something big must have happened."
Andrew shook his head and led Diana into an empty warehouse. Then, Alice's holographic projection popped up.
"BOSS, a disaster has occurred in Midway City, and it could potentially endanger the entire world."
Alice said. She had been monitoring the globe, and as soon as a major disaster was detected, she would immediately notify Andrew.
Andrew asked, "What kind of disaster?"
Alice projected a hologram, showing the entire Midway City enveloped by a strange black mist.
"Before the black mist covered Midway City, a monster appeared at the Midway City train station."
Alice said, displaying an image of the monster. It was a tall, humanoid creature wearing a crown, dressed in black Armor, and emitting yellow energy light.
This monster could release energy tentacles. Whether it was a car or a pillar, anything hit by the energy tentacles was immediately destroyed and melted.
"The military sent a small team to deal with this monster."
Alice continued, "After that, I don't know what happened, but Midway City was suddenly covered in black mist. People outside could enter, but those inside couldn't get out.
Fortunately, the network signal wasn't interrupted. I used cameras to capture the scenes inside."
The holographic projection began playing a video. Inside Midway City, many areas were ablaze, and at the same time, numerous humanoid monsters, lacking facial features and resembling black stones, were chasing humans throughout the city.
It was a chase, not a slaughter. After catching humans, they immediately transported them away by car.
"These humans were transported to the train station area. Because all the cameras near the station were destroyed, I don't know the exact situation inside."
Alice said, "However, the monsters all emerged from the train station. Based on their clothing, I have a theory."
Diana's expression turned grim as she said, "Those monsters are all transformed humans."
"Exactly."
Alice nodded. She said, "BOSS, based on the current intelligence, this disaster is very likely related to Sky Eye Society."
Sky Eye Society had put a lot of effort into upgrading its internal system to guard against Tony's intelligent system, Jarvis. Even Alice couldn't infiltrate it without leaving a trace.
The current Alice was just an ordinary artificial intelligence, not a magic life form.
"This plot sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?"
Andrew looked up towards Midway City, seeing a witch in primitive attire dancing a ritual dance in the plaza in front of the train station. Beneath her feet, a magic arraywas rapidly forming, and at the center of the magic array, a dazzling ball of lightning was quickly expanding.
This was the plot of Suicide Squad, but compared to the movie, that witch was clearly much more powerful.
"Notify Justice League to go online and inform them of the situation. Also, connect with General Calvin."
Andrew thought for a moment and instructed. Alicenodded, "Yes, BOSS."
Then, conference mode was activated, and the other five members of Justice League, plus General Calvin, all came online.
Andrew said, "General Calvin, I think you should know what we're going to ask?"
Everyone looked at General Calvin. General Calvin smiled bitterly and said, "Sky Eye Society messed up. Here's what happened: Amanda had a witch…
Earlier, when a monster was found at the Midway Citytrain station, Amanda sent Colonel Frege with the witch to handle it. As a result, the witch betrayed them midway and used magic to seal off Midway City."
"Wow, you guys remind me of an organization."
Tony scoffed, "A righteous organization that constantly talks about protecting the world, but always holds us back and frequently causes disasters."
"Is there any organization more unreliable than Sky Eye Society?"
Aquaman complained. The image of Sky Eye Society in his mind plummeted.
"I've dealt with that woman, Amanda. She's a ruthless character who would do anything for America."
Batman's deep voice resonated, "Since she dared to use a witch, she must have a way to control her. Why did the witch betray them?"
General Calvin replied, "Amanda had the witch's heart, and logically, she should have been able to control her, but for some reason, it failed."
Diana shook her head, "Those who play with fire will be consumed by it. Humans should not rashly meddle with things they don't understand."
"Let's not waste time. We'll go to Midway Cityimmediately to rescue people."
Superman said, "I hope those transformed monsters can change back."
"Superman, don't rush. You have no resistance to magic."
Batman was speaking when Alice suddenly said, "The witch has infiltrated the television network."
After speaking, Alice projected the television screen into the conference room. A witch in primitive attire, wearing a crescent crown, grandly declared, "Greetings, humans. I am your former God."
Tony scoffed, "Wow, were our ancestors' tastes so bad that they worshipped a God like this? At least find a clean one, right?"
Everyone was speechless. Was this the time to be concerned about that?
"Midway City is my territory, Superheroes. If you dare to enter Midway City, I will immediately detonate a magic bomb and flatten Midway City."
The witch apparently didn't hear Tony's sarcasm. She said, "Don't try to sneak in. I've placed magic throughout Midway City. The moment you enter, I'll immediately detect you."
As the witch spoke, the camera switched to a large bomb glowing with black light, its background an empty room.
"Humans, you are about to return to the embrace of God. Rejoice, exult, wait, hahaha."
The camera switched back. The witch laughed loudly, then her figure disappeared from the television screen, and the television quickly returned to normal.
Everyone frowned. This was troublesome. With hundreds of thousands of people in Midway City, they couldn't act rashly.
Andrew stroked his chin. This witch was interesting. Aside from being a bit ugly, she basically met his requirements.
"Something's not right."
Tony and Batman spoke simultaneously. Flash's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Are you saying there's no magic bomb?"
"The magic bomb should be real."
Tony shook his head and said, "The problem is, she's a witch, not a network expert. How can she infiltrate the television network?"
"If she had that ability, she would have blocked Midway City's signal earlier."
Batman also said, "It seems she's colluded with others, which means we have other opponents."
Everyone exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat grim. Could it be that she had colluded with General Zod? That would be troublesome.
Andrew once again looked towards Midway City and saw the witch talking to a bald Axe Man.
This bald Axe Man was named Vatos, from the alien prison Luozi Fort. Because his appearance was similar to that of a human, General Zod sent him to Earth to gather intelligence.
Coincidentally, the Axe Man resided in Midway City. After some conflict with the witch, they eventually became allies and cooperated to deal with humans.
"You should have set it so that no outsiders are allowed into Midway City. Besides Superheroes, there are also soldiers."
The Axe Man said. Luozi Fort was Kryptonian's top prison. None of the criminals imprisoned there were simple; they were either incredibly powerful or highly intelligent.
"Those soldiers pose no threat to me. I need them to help me find someone and retrieve what belongs to me."
The witch said, "Also, magic isn't that simple. The wider the scope, the more stringent the conditions."
"I'm not very familiar with magic. Could you tell me more?"
The Axe Man asked. The witch glanced at him and perfunctorily said, "We'll talk about it after everything is over."
After speaking, the witch continued to dance in the plaza, setting up the magic array. It was clear that she was just using the other party.
The Axe Man secretly snorted but didn't pay too much attention, as he also had no intention of genuinely cooperating with her. He just wanted to gather more intelligence and, incidentally, eliminate human forces to prepare for the future.
General Zod had promised that as long as Kryptonianwas reborn, he would help him fulfill his wish.
The Axe Man watched the witch's dance, unable to help but inwardly complain about how ugly it was.
A moment later, the witch abruptly stopped. She raised her hands, and a large amount of black energy surged from her body, merging into the magic array below.
The magic array glowed with dazzling light. At the same time, the lightning ball expanded wildly, and then the lightning ball exploded, a pillar of lightning shooting into the sky, reaching the clouds.
This wasn't all. The lightning pillar spread outwards, forming a dazzling lightning ring around it. A large number of metal objects flew into the sky, floating next to the lightning ring.
"Very good."
The witch smiled and continued dancing, strengthening the lightning. At the same time, she shouted, "Brother, find that woman as soon as possible and retrieve my heart."
The witch's brother was the tall humanoid monster from before. The reason the witch could break free from Amanda's control was that her brother injected magic into her body.
"Alright."
The witch's brother nodded, ordering the puppets to search all areas of the city, aiming to find the woman named Amanda as soon as possible.
Without her heart, the witch couldn't complete this magic.
In the online meeting, Flash asked, "Regardless of who the witch is colluding with, what should we do next? We can't just ignore it, can we?"
"Over the past two months, I've built quite a few unmanned Armors. I plan to send them to sneak into Midway City to search for the magic bomb."
Tony said, "Once the magic bomb is disarmed, the rest will be easy."
Batman also said, "I'll also send Batwing into the city. Additionally, the witch only said Superheroes couldn't enter, not that the military couldn't. I suspect there's a problem there.
General Calvin, what are the military's plans?"
General Calvin said, "They plan to send special forces and Task Force X into Midway City."
Tony scoffed, "Do they really think those criminals can defeat the witch?"
"Their goal isn't to defeat the witch."
General Calvin hesitated, then said, "Their goal is to rescue Amanda. She was trapped in the city because she didn't retreat in time."
Aquaman looked disgusted, "She messed things up herself and now expects others to risk their lives to save her? How sickening."
"This is problematic. If I'm not mistaken, the witch wants to find Amanda through the military. Her target should be the heart in Amanda's possession."
Batman said, "General Calvin, notify Amanda to immediately destroy the witch's heart. Although it won't kill the witch, it can disrupt her scheme.
The witch is making such a big fuss; what she wants to do is definitely not simple."
"I'll talk to Amanda."
General Calvin nodded, contacting Amanda. A moment later, he sighed, "Amanda refused. She said that was just your speculation, and besides, the heart is a trump card against the witch."
"Greed makes people foolish. Clearly, she still wants to subdue the witch."
Batman said disdainfully. The others also snorted. That woman was too greedy.
Andrew shook his head. The purpose of Sky Eye Society's existence was to contain Justice League. How could they listen to Justice League?
Not to mention, the witch represented immense profit. The more powerful she was, the greater the profit.
"General Calvin, arrange it. I'll go into Midway City with Task Force X."
Andrew suddenly said. He had three goals for entering Midway City: to witness the members of Suicide Squad, to stop this disaster, and to subdue the witch.
"You?"
Everyone was stunned. Andrew spread his hands, "What about me? I'm not a Super Hero, and neither is Fiora."
Everyone's eyes lit up at the words. Flash asked, "With Miss Fiora's strength, she should be able to deal with the witch directly, right?"
"Magic is Kryptonians' bane. Fiora may not be able to defeat the witch, and even if she could, the witch would have enough time to activate the magic bomb."
Andrew shook his head and said, "We can't rush this. General Calvin, make the arrangements."
Calvin nodded, "Alright, leave it to me."
"Batman and I will also start our operation. We'll cooperate and adapt as needed."
Tony said, "As for the others, Superman, you take them outside Midway City and wait for our signal."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the online conference officially ended.
Inside the warehouse, Andrew closed the communication. Diana asked worriedly, "Andrew, magic is Kryptonians' bane. Will you be in danger if you go in?"
"Even if you don't have faith in me, you should have faith in yourself. What kind of man would leave you?"
Andrew chuckled, "With you, I'll never die."
"There was a man who left me decades ago."
Diana said, "Andrew, be careful with everything. If you encounter danger, immediately have Fiora take you away."
"This is the second time. After a few more times, you'll know that in this universe, no one can harm me."
Andrew shook his head and had Fiora take Diana to the temporary base outside Midway City.
Two minutes later, Fiora returned and took Andrew to find Task Force X, also known as Suicide Squad.
Thanks to Quasar, Xiang Renxing, Fantasy World Seed, and Cabbage Old Demon for their rewards this week.
Chapter 540 Death Shooter
Besides the Suicide Squad, the military's operation also involved a group of military elites, with a total of two Osprey helicopters dispatched.
On one of the Osprey helicopters, Colonel Frege saluted Andrew and said, "Mr. Wang."
"Wow, looks like a big shot has arrived?"
A woman with red and blue pigtails, a bleached face, and a somewhat crazy look, exaggeratedly said, "Should I kidnap him and threaten Frege to release me… What did you say? That I absolutely shouldn't seek Death like that?
Heh heh, you're scaring me again. How could I die so easily?"
Everyone looked speechlessly at the woman. The woman shrugged and shouted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a mentally ill person before?"
This woman, who favored red and blue, was named Harley Quinn. She was once a psychiatrist, but now she was a mental patient. Additionally, she was the Joker's woman from Gotham City.
"Colonel Frege, there's no need to be so formal. When I retired, I think I was just a Captain."
Andrew smiled. Frege said, "You are a combat hero. You saved the world. I've always admired you."
"Saved the world?"
The soldiers inside the helicopter all looked at him with admiration. As for the members of the Suicide Squad, they showed expressions of disdain, thinking, 'Another Super Hero.'
"The way you put it, it seems I can't not help you."
Andrew smiled, found a seat, and sat down. Fiora, using her invisibility device, followed behind the helicopter.
"Help me?"
Frege was stunned. Did Andrew know about the Witch? No, that couldn't be right. This matter was strictly confidential; even the Suicide Squad members didn't know.
The Suicide Squad knew nothing except that they were there to rescue someone.
Harley leaned in, smiling, and asked, "Handsome, since you like helping people so much, how about you help me too?"
"Alright."
Andrew smiled and took a phone from Harley's waist, saying, "This phone is too heavy. I'll help you carry it."
Harley was bewildered. How did he know she had a phone on her? And what did he mean by 'help me carry it'? Could she not even pick up a phone?
"Harley, where did you get a phone?"
Frege was furious. This was definitely a huge oversight on his part. Andrew casually tossed the phone to Frege and said, "It's a small matter, no need to make such a fuss."
Andrew was quite interested in the Joker. He should be able to see him soon. But then again, this version of the Joker was a bit too young and too handsome.
After Andrew snatched her phone, Harley first bared her teeth, then leaned in even closer: "Handsome, you're so considerate. I'm falling for you."
Andrew grabbed Harley's chin, looked at her face and teeth, and shook his head, saying, "No, you're too weak. You can't even take one punch from my girlfriend.
To be my woman, you must be stronger. At the very least, you need to be able to take a punch from my girlfriend and not die. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have time to save you."
"Isn't your standard a bit too outrageous?"
Harley complained, then defiantly asked, "Is your girlfriend very powerful?"
"Not just very powerful, but super powerful. Alright, assessment complete. You're not qualified to seduce me."
Andrew smiled and pushed Harley away. Then, he asked the bald Black man next to him, "Deadshot?"
"Yes, if you want to do business with me, you'll have to wait until I get out first."
Deadshot shrugged. Before he was caught, he was a top-tier assassin. His ability was simple: he was proficient with all firearms and never missed a shot—he could even hit a bullseye with a submachine gun.
Andrew retorted, "You're truly optimistic, thinking you can still leave prison?"
Everyone burst into laughter. Deadshot rolled his eyes. This guy had a really venomous tongue.
Besides Deadshot, the Suicide Squad members also included: Captain Boomerang, who clearly wasn't a good person at first glance; Killer Croc, the humanoid crocodile; Great Pineapple, who could unleash flames; and Slipknot, who could climb anywhere.
In addition, Frege also had a helper named Katana, nicknamed "Samurai Sword," who was a masked woman from an island nation. She had a great figure, but was a bit short.
Katana's sword was an evil blade, sealing her husband's soul.
The Suicide Squad members all had nano-level bombs in their heads. Once Frege pressed the button, their heads would explode. After all, they were a group of prisoners and couldn't be underestimated.
Not long after, two Osprey helicopters passed through the black mist and entered Midway City. The Witch sensed them immediately.
In fact, the Witch's surveillance magic was above the black mist.
At the same time, the Witch also sensed that steel monsters were infiltrating Midway City from underground.
The only one the Witch didn't sense was Fiora. Although Andrew couldn't make a move, seeing through magic and using technological devices to hide Fiora was simple enough.
"Vatos, you take the puppets to deal with those robots."
The Witch sneered, "They think I won't discover them if they sneak in from underground. How naive."
Axe Man glanced at the Witch, knowing she wanted to send him away. He didn't refuse, nodding, "Alright, be careful yourself. Don't fail."
"Everything is under my control. I will not fail."
The Witch said proudly. Then, Axe Man led a group of fully armed puppets to intercept Tony's drone suits. As for Batman's Batplane, there were also puppets to block it.
The Suicide Squad, on the other hand, also came under attack—two rockets with long tails shot towards the Osprey helicopters.
The Witch was playing the part completely. More importantly, if she did nothing, the Super Heroes might suspect that what she said earlier was false.
"Quick, get out of the way."
Seeing the rockets, Frege hurriedly shouted. The helicopter he was on fortunately dodged the attack, but the other helicopter was hit and made a forced landing, emitting black smoke.
The two groups were thus separated. Then, the helicopter carrying the Suicide Squad landed on the street. Everyone exited the helicopter and, led by Frege, advanced towards their destination.
Some things happened in between, for example, Slipknot, instigated by Captain Boomerang, tried to escape and was tragically killed on the spot when Freddy pressed the button.
At the same time, the group encountered two waves of puppet attacks. Fortunately, the bodies of these puppets were not as hard as real stone; they could even be smashed to Death with a baseball bat. So, both attacks were overcome without much danger.
"These two waves of attacks were just symbolic."
Andrew shook his head. There were tens of thousands of puppets in the city now. If the Witch truly wanted to deal with them, it wouldn't be this simple.
Andrew walked over to Deadshot and said, "You performed well just now, taking down more than twenty monsters with a submachine gun."
Deadshot said proudly, "I'm not famous for nothing, I tell you. I'll escape from prison sooner or later. When I do, come find me, and I'll give you a twenty percent discount."
"After escaping, you'll continue to be an assassin?"
Andrew asked, "Can't you find a legitimate business? You have a daughter, you know."
Deadshot fell silent. The person he loved most was his daughter. The reason he was caught was also because of her.
"What else can a person like me do besides being an assassin?"
Deadshot shook his head, "I want to earn enough money, find a new place, and live well with my daughter."
"That's not realistic."
Andrew said, "However, I can give you an opportunity. I'll help you leave prison, and you can work for me from now on.
Three million annual salary. Although it might not be as much as you earned as an assassin, this is legitimate money; no need to launder it, just pay taxes.
More importantly, you can be a respectable person in the future, a respectable person your daughter can be proud of."
Deadshot was stunned. He asked, "You can get me out? The clean kind?"
"If it were before, it would be a bit troublesome. After all, your criminal record is too extensive. To get you out cleanly, we'd need to burn the evidence, find a group of dream lawyers to defend you, and finally bribe a group of judges."
Andrew said, "But now, the situation is a bit different. You will save the world. At that time, I'll find someone to work on it, spend a few million, and it won't be difficult to get you out.
In America, as long as you have money, nothing is impossible."
Deadshot was astonished: "Save the world? Aren't we here to save someone?"
"You are indeed here to save someone, but I need you to save the world."
Andrew smiled and said, "By the way, do you know who you're supposed to save?"
Deadshot asked, "Who?"
Andrew said, "Amanda."
"What the fuck."
Deadshot immediately expressed that he wanted to go on strike. He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll work for you, but you must get me out, cleanly.
I want to be an innocent man and then fight for custody of my daughter. My daughter is an honor student; she can go to Harvard in the future, haha, my genes are just that good."
"No problem, but Deadshot, let's get one thing straight first."
Andrew said, "Once you're out, you're not allowed to indiscriminately kill innocent people again. Otherwise, you're dead."
Andrew spoke very calmly, but Deadshot had a feeling that if he disobeyed, disaster would surely strike. He said:
"No one invites me, I won't kill people casually. My services are very expensive. From now on, you will be my only Boss."
"Very good."
Andrew nodded. He said, "Accept your first mission: after saving Amanda, find an opportunity to knock her out."
"..."
Deadshot was somewhat astonished. He said, "Boss, knocking out Amanda is no small matter, and that woman holds a grudge very well."
"Do you know what's most important when working for someone? It's obeying orders."
Andrew smiled and said no more. This was both a mission and an interview for Deadshot. An annual salary of three million was not that easy to earn.
However, Deadshot was still very useful. With his accuracy, if he was equipped with high-damage weapons, even a Kryptonian could be fought.
Deadshot was silent. After a moment, he nodded, indicating agreement.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them: "Hey, you two, what bad things are you whispering about? You didn't even include me?"
Andrew and Deadshot turned around and found that the speaker was Harley, wearing very short shorts and holding a baseball bat.
Chapter 541: Tricks
Andrew looked at Harley and smiled, "We're discussing how to feed you to Killer Croc?"
"I'm not eating her; I don't want to go crazy."
Killer Croc shouted back, and everyone laughed. Fregequickly said, "Quiet down, don't let the monster discover us."
Harley rolled her eyes. She whispered, "You're definitely not talking about that. Whatever bad things you're planning, I want to be involved. Otherwise..."
Andrew asked, "Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, I'll ruin your good deeds."
Harley said triumphantly, "Trust me, I'm especially good at ruining other people's good deeds. One hundred percent success."
Deadshot secretly grumbled, 'Is that something to be proud of?'
"I know, you want me not to ruin your good deeds. Don't worry, I'm not interested in what you and the Joker are doing."
Andrew said, "Anyway, even if I don't ruin it, you won't succeed."
"I'm not at ease at all."
Harley bared her teeth at Andrew and said, "If it doesn't succeed, I'll cling to you. Anyway, someone keeps telling me to cling to your thigh, saying you're super powerful.
Uh, according to my professional judgment, my auditory hallucinations and mental illness have gotten worse."
Andrew and Deadshot simultaneously retorted, "You still remember you're a psychiatrist?"
Harley Quinn was originally a master of criminal psychology, responsible for treating the Joker at Arkham Asylum. As a result, she fell madly in love with the Joker and, to be with him, went crazy herself.
She is a lovely, pitiful, and terrifying woman.
At the same time, Tony's drone suits were blocked by Axe Man and his puppets.
Axe Man took a big leap, his axe glowing with energy as he swung it down, directly cutting one of the drone suits in half.
"This guy's weapon has a problem; it's Alien technology."
Tony immediately controlled the other drone suits to attack Axe Man. He said, "Our previous guess was correct. The Enchantress really is cooperating with others, and they're Aliens. We must capture him and find out his origin."
"We can't do anything now; it's all up to you."
Aquaman shrugged, and the others nodded helplessly. Tony was about to speak when Jarvis suddenly said,
"Mr. Stark, someone is invading the drone suit's control system. The opponent is very powerful. If this continues, the drone suits will have problems."
"Someone can invade my system?"
Tony was a little surprised. He turned and shouted, "Cyborg, stop that hacker and find him."
"Okay."
Cyborg nodded, and the blue light on his forehead turned yellow and flickered, indicating his consciousness entering the network.
In the network world, Cyborg was a god, but this time the opponent was very powerful. Even he spent a lot of effort to defeat the opponent and completely drive him out of the drone suit's control system.
"This hacker is definitely top-tier."
Cyborg was about to trace the opponent when, at that moment, the network world transformed into a grand hall. Then, an Indigo figure appeared before him.
The figure looked at Cyborg and said in surprise, "This is the first time I've been defeated so easily."
"Are you a mechanical life like me?"
Cyborg was a little surprised. The Indigo figure shook her head and said, "No, I am an Alien life form. Remember, my name is Indigo, and we will meet again."
After speaking, the grand hall disintegrated, and Cyborg's consciousness withdrew from the network world. He murmured, "Indigo?"
Without interference, the drone suits continued to battle Axe Man and the puppets. Axe Man was powerful and did not fall behind at all.
Tony didn't care. Each drone suit carried a portion of nanoparticles. After entering Midway City, these nanoparticles detached from the drone suits, combined, and quietly snuck towards the train station.
The magic bomb must be near the train station. How could he be at ease without personally watching such a thing?
On the other side, Batman did something similar—mechanical bats detached from the Batmobile and flew towards the train station.
Batman's judgment was the same as Tony's: the magic bomb must be near the train station.
Clark looked at the black mist in the distance and sighed. He didn't expect that besides lead, there were other things he couldn't see through. Magic was truly terrible.
In a building near the train station, Suicide Squaddefeated a large number of puppets and successfully reached the target floor.
"It's actually near the train station. Amanda, you really know how to hide."
The Enchantress looked towards the building from afar, snorted coldly, and said, "Brother, bring my heart and that woman back."
"Okay."
The tall monster nodded and strode towards the building.
Inside the office, Frege said, "I'll go pick up the person. You all wait outside. Mr. Wang, no problem, right?"
"No problem."
Andrew leaned casually against the wall and said. Fregenodded, opened the fingerprint lock with his fingerprint, and entered the hidden room inside.
Andrew signaled Deadshot with his eyes. Deadshotfollowed Frege into the hidden room. Soon, he realized Andrew hadn't been wrong; the person they were rescuing this time really was Amanda.
Amanda didn't care when she saw Deadshot. She picked up a pistol and killed all the FBI agents in the hidden room.
"What are you doing?"
Even Deadshot was startled. He wasn't a good person, but he would never kill his own companions, let alone those who had been helping Amanda.
"They don't have enough clearance and know too much. Let's go; don't waste time."
Amanda said coldly, then turned and prepared to leave the hidden room.
Just then, a gun flew over and smashed hard into the back of Amanda's head. Amanda immediately fell forward, unconscious.
"fuck, what did you do?"
Frege immediately raised his gun at Deadshot and demanded loudly. Deadshot said, "I didn't like her, so I wanted to hit her. Don't you?"
"I really wanted to, ahem, Deadshot, she won't let you off when she wakes up."
Frege said. Deadshot was about to speak when a voice sounded, "He'll be fine, because he'll be working for me later."
Frege turned and saw Andrew walking in. He asked in surprise, "Mr. Wang, is this what you mean?"
"This is God's will, Frege. Do you want to save the world? Do you want to save your girlfriend?"
Andrew walked over to Amanda and said, "If you want to, from now on, follow my command. I think you should understand who can truly save this world."
Frege hesitated, put away his gun, and said, "I believe you. You are not only a war hero but also Wonder Woman's boyfriend."
"What? Boss, you're Wonder Woman's boyfriend?"
Deadshot exclaimed, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Although he was in prison, there were newspapers and televisions there, and he knew very well who Wonder Woman was.
"So shocked, don't tell me you want to shoot me in the back?"
Andrew grumbled. He picked up Amanda's box, forced it open, and inside was a peculiar heart, which was the Enchantress's heart.
Frege asked, "You want to destroy the heart and stop the Enchantress's plan?"
"Destroy it? Of course not, that would be a terrible waste."
Andrew smiled and took out a syringe from his embrace, injecting it into the heart. He said, "This is a virus I meticulously created. I think it will give the Enchantress a surprise."
"A virus? Doesn't the Enchantress use magic?"
Deadshot finally understood why Andrew had him knock out Amanda. Andrew said, "Magic isn't omnipotent, let alone, this is a virus I meticulously created."
Please call him, Virus Expert Andrew.
Frege asked with some concern, "Will this harm June?"
"Don't worry, I'll return a complete June to you."
After the injection, Andrew retracted the syringe. Then, he closed the box and said, "Take Amanda and the box. We're going to the rooftop."
"Okay."
Frege stopped wasting words, carried Amanda and the box on his back, and left the hidden room.
Harley and the others were furious when they saw Amanda, but under Frege's appeasement, they reluctantly went to the rooftop.
Soon, an Osprey helicopter arrived to pick them up. Fregepicked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Savior One, please respond."
To Frege's surprise, there was no response from the other side. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shouted, "Attack! Savior One has been hijacked!"
Before Frege finished speaking, the helicopter's cabin door opened, and a Vulcan cannon appeared before everyone. Beside the Vulcan cannon was the Joker, smiling, dressed in a suit, and with green hair.
Everyone was shocked and quickly dodged. Only Harleyexcitedly shouted, "Puddin'!"
"Wah, wah, wah..."
The Joker grinned, revealing his false teeth (his teeth had been knocked out by Batman), and prepared to deliver a heartfelt speech.
Just then, an energy tentacle descended from the sky, slicing the Osprey helicopter in half like a sharp blade. The helicopter exploded with a boom, rapidly falling with flames and black smoke.
"Too cool for three seconds."
Andrew shook his head. Of course, the Joker wouldn't die like this; he was Batman's archenemy.
"Puddin'!"
Harley was shocked and rushed to the wall to check, but she only saw the helicopter crashing to the ground, burning fiercely.
Harley despaired, feeling as if a large piece of her heart had been dug out.
No one had time to care about Harley's state, because the energy tentacles were attacking them. They quickly shot at the energy tentacles, but it was useless.
The energy tentacles swung left and right, knocking Deadshot and the others flying. Then, they rapidly coiled around Frege.
Frege quickly turned and ran, but the tentacle chased after him, wrapped around his leg, and threw him and Amanda into the sky.
Then, the tentacle coiled around the unconscious Amandaand the box, rapidly retracting.
Undoubtedly, it was the Enchantress's brother who had made the move. He got what he wanted and immediately left the building, returning to the train station.
"fuck, what kind of monster was that?"
Captain Boomerang, who had almost fallen, asked Frege, still shaken, "How much else have you been hiding from us?"
