Chapter 602 Monster
"Two million US dollars?"
Andrew's words stiffened Superman's face, and Andrewchuckled, "Just kidding."
Superman breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Andrewcontinued, "How can two million US dollars be enough?"
"…"
Superman was embarrassed. Andrew laughed heartily. Not only did he need to prepare nano-watches for Superman's family, but also for the families of other Superheroes, such as Flash's recently released father, Cyborg's Scientist father, and so on.
"Better safe than sorry. Uh, Batman's son doesn't need it. Batman would just take my nano-watch apart for research."
Andrew shook his head. Just then, Alice popped up and said, "BOSS, Senator Finch called you. She said the Senate decided she would form a committee to handle the Superman matter.
She plans to hold a hearing the day after tomorrow to hear Ms. Kashina's testimony, and she hopes Superman can attend."
Andrew said, "Tell her Superman is busy, but I'll go tomorrow."
Alice responded, "Yes, BOSS."
"This lawsuit isn't a bad thing. We can take the opportunity to inoculate the public."
Andrew leaned back in his chair, thinking, "This way, if similar situations arise in the future, the public won't easily suspect Superheroes. They'll only wonder, 'Who is framing Superheroes again?'"
The day after tomorrow, at the Metropolis courthouse, Andrew sat in the guest section, filming the surroundings with his phone while asking Senator Finch, who was in the main seat, "Senator, do you mind if I live stream?"
"Not at all. It's our honor for this meeting to be live-streamed by Wonder Woman's boyfriend."
The blonde middle-aged woman, Senator Finch, smiled and said, "However, you cannot interfere with the hearing."
"Understood."
Andrew nodded. When the audience saw him start a live stream, they were startled at first, and many even rushed to their cellars with food. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Today, the 'very low-key Wonder Woman's boyfriend' was live streaming Superman's hearing.
"Did Superman really slaughter a village?"
"It must be fake. Who in Metropolis doesn't know Superman is a great guy? Batman would be more likely."
"Nonsense. Batman at most cripples people, never kills. If anyone really died because of him, it was their own fault, not Batman's."
"It might not be Superman who did it. Superman really did go to that village."
The audience furiously commented. Andrew said nothing, quietly watching them spam the screen.
Lex Luthor took time out of his busy schedule to watch the hearing. He looked at the television, muttering excitedly, "Today marks the beginning of Superman's downfall."
Soon, the meeting began. Ms. Kashina said with grief and indignation, "That day, a huge whistling sound came from the sky, like the sky was tearing open, and then, he appeared… My parents, because of him, all died."
There was some silence around, and the audience was also affected. This woman's script was clearly written by a master.
Senator Finch said, "The whole world talks about what Superman can do, but no one ever focuses on what he should do. The committee will hold Superman accountable based on this record."
"Superman won't respond to you. He won't even respond to God."
Kashina shouted. Andrew shook his head, spouting nonsense. Clark would definitely respond to him, his God, unless he didn't want his salary.
Seeing Andrew shake his head, Senator Finch asked, "Mr. Wang, you seem to have a different opinion?"
Andrew asked, "A little. Ms. Kashina, you just said the official were also there at the time?"
"Yes, the CIA and the military were both there. They witnessed our village strewn with corpses."
Kashina nodded a little nervously. Andrew asked, "They did see many bodies, but they didn't see who caused these bodies.
Ms. Kashina, did the official examine those bodies afterward?"
Kashina hesitated and replied, "It seems they did, but the bodies were all charred."
"Even charred bodies can be examined. Being killed by Superman and being killed by an ordinary person are completely different situations."
Andrew said, "But I haven't seen any examination reports from the CIA and the military. Are they derelict in their duties, or are they deliberately withholding the reports?"
Senator Finch asked displeased, "Mr. Wang, isn't that a bit of malicious speculation?"
"Is it? Even the police know to conduct autopsies. For such a big event, the CIA and the military don't even have an examination report. Do you think that's reasonable?"
Andrew said, "Ms. Kashina, I'm going to tell you three sentences. Listen carefully."
Kashina subconsciously nodded, and everyone else also looked at Andrew.
"First, everyone in the Justice League has miniature cameras on them. We know very well what happened at the time."
Andrew said. Of course, this was to scare Kashina, whose face visibly changed.
Andrew continued, "Second, the chip in your body can't hide from me. I can destroy it at any time and then use the Lasso of Truth to make you tell the truth.
Third, you are a smart person. You should know that people like you will eventually be silenced.
The only ones who will protect you, who can protect you, are the Superheroes you've slandered. With Superheroesaround, even the official can't touch you."
Wow!
The reporters in the venue and the audience in the live stream simultaneously gasped. Mr. Wang's words clearly accused the official of slandering Superheroes.
"Mr. Wang, your accusation is very serious. If you don't have evidence…"
Senator Finch shouted loudly. Just then, Kashina screamed in terror, "Save me! Please save me and my parents! They will kill us!"
The whole venue was in an uproar again. Luthor cursed and immediately pressed a button, preparing to kill Kashina—Kashina had a miniature chip in her body, primarily used to prevent the Lasso of Truth.
Simply put, once the Lasso of Truth was applied, the chip would immediately activate, making Kashina faint and slander Wonder Woman.
Luthor's plan was good, but unfortunately, his remote control failed. What a joke, who is qualified to play with technology against Andrew?
"The First Scientist."
Luthor cursed bitterly. It seemed that the plan to pull God down from his pedestal had completely failed. Since that was the case, he would just kill God directly.
Luthor took out his phone and called Deathstroke, saying, "Deathstroke, help me deal with a few people. Also, that previous plan can start now."
Regarding the slander of Superman, Luthor himself did not appear. As long as those mercenaries were dealt with, no one would know that Lex Group was also involved.
"That original plan, I promised you I would complete it at the original price."
Deathstroke said, "As for the new commission, it will cost more, because my strength and my subordinates' strength have increased."
"You're such a good businessman, why are you a mercenary?"
Luthor complained. He said, "Act immediately. We must race against the Superheroes."
Deathstroke said, "No problem. I'm in Metropolis. I'll handle this in three minutes."
"Very good."
Luthor nodded in satisfaction. He hung up the phone, thinking to himself, "Besides Deathstroke, Damian's side should also be activated. Also, it's time to start the final step of Doomsday, completing them entirely."
With that thought, Luthor no longer wasted time and returned to the laboratory to continue working.
He, Lex Luthor, would not lose, because he was the most excellent human being.
In the venue, Senator Finch looked at Kashina with a mixture of anger and shock. She questioned, "Your parents? Didn't you say your parents were killed by Superman?"
Kashina said shamefully, "They didn't die. They're alive and well."
Senator Finch almost died of anger. Were they being made fools of?
Andrew turned off the live stream and said, "Don't worry, the Justice League will protect you and your family. Now, please tell us the details of what happened."
The live stream was off, and the audience was very dissatisfied. What's going on? Turning off the stream at the most crucial moment? Don't you believe we'll unfollow? Don't believe it? Uh, actually, we don't believe it ourselves.
"I knew Superman was innocent. He's a God among men, how could he massacre civilians?"
"The official wants to slander Superman so that Superman will obey them in the future. There are no good people in the official. Only Superheroes are trustworthy."
"Exactly. Let's march to support Superman, support all Superheroes."
"I shouldn't have wronged Superman. I'm going to buy Superman merchandise to support him right away."
Although the live stream stopped, the discussion didn't. The incident was being discussed everywhere online, and soon, public opinion completely turned, with almost everyone supporting Superman.
There was no other way. The official reputation in America was simply too bad, and Alice, acting as a hundred thousand internet trolls, was frantically posting online.
In the venue, Kashina was about to speak when Senator Finch said, "Let's pause for a moment, Mr. Wang. I'd like to talk to you first."
"Okay, but to prevent The Mastermind from escaping, I hope Batman handles this."
Andrew said, "Although he's in Gotham, holographic projection can solve the distance problem."
"Good."
Senator Finch thought for a moment and did not refuse. She was not a bad person. In the movie, she had once protected Superman and was then killed by Luthor's bomb.
Then, the session was temporarily adjourned. Kashina was moved to a small room, and Batman, through holographic projection, asked about the specific details.
Kashina dared not hide anything and told the whole story, even producing a recording. It was clear that this woman was very cunning.
"These people should still be in Metropolis."
Batman said to Superman via communicator, "Superman, fly up and find them by sound."
"Okay."
Superman did not refuse. He also wanted to know who was scheming against him. Then, he flew into the sky, closing his eyes and listening to the sounds of the entire city.
Meanwhile, in the Senator's office, Senator Finch said to Andrew, "Mr. Wang, this matter wasn't done by the official. The official is just exploiting it."
"I know. I deliberately shifted the blame to the official to let the public know that the official harbors ill will towards Superheroes."
Andrew said, "This way, the next time the official makes a move, the public will side with the Superheroes."
"…"
Senator Finch was a little confused. Is it really okay to be so frank?
Senator Finch said, "Mr. Wang, I acknowledge the achievements of Superheroes, but Superheroes need restraints, otherwise they might go astray. No one should have absolute power."
"Your method isn't preventing Superheroes from going astray; it's pushing them in the wrong direction."
Andrew said, "To prevent them from going astray, the correct approach should be to trust them, to care for them meticulously, just like you would your own children.
Also, Senator Finch, you and I both know that fearing Superheroes might go astray is just an excuse, isn't it?"
Senator Finch was silent for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Wang, if Superheroes make mistakes in the future, who will stop them?"
"Other Superheroes will stop them, and I will too."
Andrew said, "Superheroes are pure, and they must remain pure. They cannot be corrupted by business or the official."
Senator Finch sighed and said, "It seems I can't persuade you, Mr. Wang. Let's talk practically. What will it take for you to let this matter go and not let it escalate further?"
Clearly, the official had conceded.
"I can refrain from doing anything further, but the Los Angeles prosecutor must reach a settlement with Hancock."
Andrew said, "Stark Industries will be responsible for compensating the damages caused by Hancock."
Senator Finch looked disgusted, "You're not planning to recruit that scoundrel Hancock into the Justice League, are you?"
"Hancock is indeed a scoundrel, but he's not a bad person. If he were a bad person, he would have become a Super Villain long ago."
Andrew said, "Of course, we don't plan to recruit him into the Justice League for now. Helping him is because we need him as labor to build a base on the Moon."
Senator Finch was startled, then asked, "Building a base on the Moon? Do you have permission?"
"That's the Moon, not Earth."
Andrew scoffed, "If you don't agree, you can send a demolition team to the Moon to demolish it."
"Moon demolition team? We can't even land on the Moon again right now."
Senator Finch rolled her eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "Do you accept investments? Pure Moon investments, not involving other aspects."
"For business matters, you can discuss with Iron Man."
Andrew did not refuse. The military's technology was insufficient, so they couldn't get involved in Moon affairs. If they wanted to be a scapegoat, Andrew certainly wouldn't mind.
After a while, Batman called and said, "There's a problem. Those people were silenced by monsters."
"Silenced by monsters?"
Andrew was stunned. Being silenced was normal, but where did the monsters come from?
Then, Batman sent over a video, showing more than a dozen half-human, half-bat monsters slaughtering a group of mercenaries in an abandoned building.
These monsters were extremely fast, flying like shadows. The mercenaries immediately clutched their bleeding throats and fell.
The terrified mercenaries frantically shot at the Man-Bat, but most were avoided by the Man-Bat. Even if they occasionally hit, the effect was not good—these monsters had strong defenses, and bullets got stuck in their muscles.
At this moment, Superman descended from the sky and quickly cleared out the Man-Bat. The Man-Bat, seeing him arrive, did not flee but let out strange growls. Then, their bodies rapidly expanded, and then, they exploded with a boom.
Superman was naturally unharmed, but all the mercenaries died, leaving no survivors.
Chapter 603 Demonic Pool
Senator Finch looked at the ugly Man-Bats and couldn't help but ask, "Batman, these monsters, they have nothing to do with you, right?"
Andrew said matter-of-factly, "How could they have nothing to do with him? At the very least, they're close relatives."
"..."
Even Batman felt a bit like rolling his eyes. He got on his Bat-Motorcycle and said, "I'll go to the scene to check and see if I can find any clues. This matter behind it might be very troublesome."
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Andrew said that these Man-Bats shouldn't have been created by Lex Luthor, but they definitely had something to do with him.
Compared to Doomsday, Andrew was more concerned about these Man-Bats. Of course, not because Man-Batwas stronger than Doomsday, but because Andrew had no impression of these Man-Bats at all.
This was very bad.
As for Doomsday, although it was very powerful, Andrewwasn't too worried because he had a way to deal with Doomsday—Doomsday was also restrained by Kryptonite.
Doomsday, to Andrew, was just about prestige and fear.
"That's right, it must be thoroughly investigated. The Mastermind not only toyed with us but also conducted illegal biological experiments."
Senator Finch looked at the screen and said coldly, "Those monsters were originally humans."
"Senator, you reminded me."
Andrew took out his phone and called Iron Man. He first briefly introduced the previous events, then he said, "Tony, investigate the missing persons situation. I think there might be more Man-Bats than that."
Tony said, "Leave it to me. They're probably homeless people. America has a huge number of homeless people, and no one cares about them. Some evil companies often capture them for experiments."
Andrew and Senator Finch both looked at Tonysimultaneously. Why were you so familiar with this?
"What kind of look is that? I haven't done it."
Tony said grumpily, "This is common knowledge in America."
Senator Finch complained, "I've never heard of such a sad piece of common knowledge."
...
In an underground base in Metropolis, Deathstroke looked at the footage sent back by the Man-Bat before it self-destructed and couldn't help but curse, "More money! That bastard Luthor must pay more! Over a dozen test subjects died!"
Dr. Kirk, next to Deathstroke, said, "Deathstroke, no matter how many Man-Bats there are, they are no match for Superman. We need to research more powerful monsters."
"Then research them. The stronger the power I possess, the higher the fee."
Deathstroke didn't object. He said, "Dr. Kirk, you continue your research. I have other things to do."
"Alright."
Dr. Kirk didn't waste words. He took the battle data from just now and went back to the lab to continue his research. For someone like him, nothing was more important than research.
This was also why he quickly defected to Deathstroke after Ra's al Ghul's death. He didn't care who was in charge, as long as he was given money and raw materials.
After Dr. Kirk left, Deathstroke arranged for his subordinates to execute Luthor's plan, which was to kidnap the relatives of Super Heroes.
This time, Deathstroke didn't plan to act personally because he had more important things to do.
Deathstroke walked deep into the underground, where there was a pool emitting a green light. That was the Lazarus Pit he had transferred from the League of Assassins headquarters.
A sighing figure stood by the pool. Deathstroke cursed, "Constantine, what are you sighing about? It's not like I'm not going to pay you?"
"As if you'd actually pay me? Deathstroke, who doesn't know your miserly nature? In the East, there's a mythical beast called Pixiu that only eats and doesn't excrete. That's you."
Constantine rolled his eyes. Why was he here? It was simple: he was tricked by a woman who came to his door. He woke up to find Deathstroke's annoying big face, and what was worse, his body had been injected with an unknown poison that even nanobots couldn't clear.
The problem was, he couldn't be blamed! Every time he went to a bar, women would automatically come to him. How was he supposed to know that this time the beauty was sent by Deathstroke?
It was all because he was simply too handsome.
"What kind of person do you take me for? I'll still give you one coin."
Deathstroke was very displeased. He said, "Enough talk. Is there a way to transfer the power of the Lazarus Pit to me? To give me an immortal body, just like my cousin."
Constantine was startled: "Your cousin?"
"Yes, my cousin Wade Winston Wilson. He has an incredibly powerful immortal body, but he's disfigured. A while ago, he came to visit me and said a lot of nonsense."
Deathstroke said, "Enough about that, Constantine, can you do it?"
"I just studied this pool. It contains demonic power. Deathstroke, if you absorb the power of this pool, you might very well turn into a demon."
Constantine lit a cigarette and said, "People associated with demons never come to a good end."
"Do you think I care about that? I only care about making more money."
Deathstroke said, "Hurry up and start. There's a big business coming up. Constantine, a word of warning: don't play tricks, or you won't leave here alive."
As Deathstroke spoke, pairs of red eyes opened around him. They were Man-Bats hanging upside down from the cave ceiling.
"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."
Constantine looked at the Man-Bats with disgust and asked, "After I'm done, will you give me the antidote and let me go?"
Deathstroke nodded with certainty: "Yes, although I, Deathstroke, am not a good person, I respect contracts very much, because only then can I earn more money."
Constantine asked curiously, "If breaking the contract could earn you money you'd never earn in a lifetime, would you break it?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Deathstroke was too lazy to answer. He said, "Hurry up and start. I can't wait to have an immortal body."
"Then let's begin."
Constantine threw his cigarette on the ground and said, "You jump into the pool, and I'll start setting up the magic array. Remember to control yourself and absolutely do not be corroded by the demonic power.
Although you're a bastard, at least you're a bastard who keeps contracts. I don't want you to turn into someone else."
Deathstroke said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't be corroded by demonic power. I don't want my savings to benefit someone else."
Constantine quipped, "I have great confidence in you."
Then, Constantine began to set up the magic array. Several hours later, the magic array activated, the pool water boiled, and a large amount of green gas rushed into Deathstroke's body. Deathstroke couldn't help but let out a painful scream.
Soon, Deathstroke gritted his teeth and stopped making a sound. He desperately encouraged himself in his mind: "Hold on, as long as I upgrade, I can earn more money. I must hold on."
At the same time, somewhere in America, a cloaked girl suddenly turned her head towards Metropolis, her face full of shock: "How is this possible? That's... Trigon's aura?"
The girl dared not delay and immediately soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards Metropolis.
...
At Wayne Manor, Damian Wayne finally received a message from the mysterious buyer: "Go find Andrew Wang and kidnap him. Remember, he has Supergirl as a bodyguard. You must subdue him in an instant, then take him hostage and escape the scene."
That's right, Luthor wanted to kidnap Andrew. The reason was simple: two women would do anything for Andrew: Wonder Woman Diana and Supergirl's bodyguard Fiora.
If these two women teamed up, even Superman would die.
At the same time, Luthor was also preparing to kidnap the families of other Super Heroes. On one hand, to make Superman kill other Super Heroes.
On the other hand, after Diana and Fiora killed Superman, he would threaten other Super Heroes to besiege Diana and Fiora, to completely eliminate them.
Humanity didn't need Aliens, nor did it need gods.
Of course, Luthor didn't plan to kill Andrew; he was the first Scientist and very important to humanity.
"The mysterious buyer sent me to Wayne Manor, so it was to gain enough trust in the Justice League."
Damian suddenly understood. He hesitated for a moment, then decided to do as instructed. The reason was simple: he wanted to use Andrew Wang to exchange for his mother, Talia.
Then, Damian got up and went to the Batcave. He called out to Alfred, "Fred, I'm going to Metropolis to help him."
"You should call him father."
Alfred didn't stop him. He smiled, "Be careful, and by the way, I've prepared your favorite cod for dinner tonight. Remember to come back early."
"Got it."
Damian waved his hand, pretending not to care, but his heart was a bit complicated. This trip, he probably wouldn't be coming back.
Cold, always lecturing, a father stronger than his grandfather, and Fred, who always indulged him—goodbye.
"I don't care about them at all."
Damian mumbled, got on the Bat-Motorcycle, and quickly left the Batcave.
After Damian left, Alfred contacted Batman and said, "Master, the young master has also gone to Metropolis. I feel he's a bit strange."
Batman's low voice came through: "I'll keep an eye on him."
"That's good."
Alfred nodded and began preparing dinner for the young master. As for the master, well, just make him something simple; as long as he doesn't starve to death, it's fine.
...
In Metropolis, Andrew, Superman's holographic projection, Batman's projection, and Iron Man's projection were holding a meeting.
"I've investigated the missing persons, and there aren't many missing people here in Metropolis."
Iron Man said, "Instead, a lot of people have gone missing in Gotham. Because Gotham has always been chaotic, it went unnoticed.
The Super Villains behind the Man-Bat should be from Gotham."
Batman was silent for a moment, then said, "They might be related to Deathstroke. I will investigate this matter and put Deathstroke in prison."
"If it's really related to Deathstroke, I suggest you just kill him."
Iron Man said, "I've hired him before. He's very strong, and he recognizes nothing but money."
"Killing people doesn't solve problems."
"But killing people can save many."
Seeing that both sides were about to argue again, Andrew said, "Are there any other discoveries at the scene?"
"Yes."
Batman said, "The bullets used by those mercenaries are not available on the market. I've investigated, and they are special bullets produced by Lex Group. The Mastermindbehind this might be Lex Luthor."
Superman frowned: "Lex Luthor? I don't know him. Why would he frame me?"
Chapter 604 Preparation
"Perhaps it's because he's a Human Supremacist."
Tony said, "He once told me that your existence would diminish humanity's potential."
"..."
Superman was dumbfounded. So that was the reason. He complained, "He's actually a madman, isn't he?"
Tony shrugged and said, "And quite insane."
"The problem is, with just this evidence, we can't prosecute him. Even if we could, he'd just find a scapegoat to take the fall."
Batman said, "Such a big capitalist is hard to deal with."
Andrew chuckled, "Understandable. After all, besides Clark, we're all big capitalists."
Superman rubbed his nose, feeling a bit offended.
"Batman, you handle Deathstroke. Tony, you figure out a way to investigate Lex Luthor. His plans won't be limited to just this."
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "Also, inform General Calvin about this and have him halt critical military cooperation with the Lex Group."
Tony nodded, "No problem, leave it to me."
After the arrangements were made, Andrew continued, "Next time the Justice League meets, I'll propose something, and I'll tell you about it here first.
I plan to install nano-cameras on everyone's communication watches. Don't get excited, let me finish. First, it's voluntary; there will be no compulsion.
Second, the nano-cameras can be turned off, and unless consent is given, the content inside will not be uploaded.
Installing nano-cameras is, on one hand, to avoid situations like Superman's from happening again, and on the other hand, to establish a video network so I can better command you in battle, and you can better coordinate.
I will not interfere with your privacy, nor will I monitor you. Any member can dismantle the camera for study, and I will also make the camera's code public."
"I have no objections. Actually, my suit has always had cameras."
Tony said indifferently. Batman said, "Disasters are becoming more frequent. We do need a more comprehensive communication system. However, I'll install the camera myself."
"That's acceptable."
Superman, recalling this incident, nodded and said, "Of course, our privacy must never be infringed upon, not even once."
"Don't worry, I'm not as low-class as Iron Man, installing backdoors in all products."
Andrew said. Tony rolled his eyes. Let's not talk about that, and we're still good friends. Then, he cut off the communication to deal with what he had just discussed.
Batman also left. Before leaving, Superman said to Andrew, "Mr. Wang, thank you for clearing my name."
Andrew chuckled, "If you want to thank me, why not work a few extra shifts?"
"I don't mind, but Louise certainly will."
Superman smiled, and the holographic projection disappeared.
"Even Superman, with a body of steel, is still afraid of his wife."
Andrew looked disgusted. He leaned back in his chair and video-called Wonder Woman.
The two first chatted about what happened today. Then, Diana asked, "How's Mary, the one who comes to your house every night, doing with her training?"
"Wow, Diana, that's not like you."
Andrew chuckled, "Don't worry, I promise you, she might steal my body, but she won't steal my heart."
Diana retorted, "I'm not at all reassured."
"The training is going very smoothly. Mary is very suitable to be a Super Hero. Perhaps, it won't be long before the Justice League gains a new member."
Andrew said, "Hancock, on the other hand, is more troublesome. Tony is so angry he wants to kill someone."
"Let's take it slow."
Diana shook her head, "Given the current situation on Earth, the more Super Heroes, the better, especially powerful heroes like Mary and Hancock."
"That's why I spent so much effort recruiting them."
Andrew chuckled, "Oh, right, things have been a bit off lately. Do you want to come back to Metropolis for a few days?"
Diana paused, then asked, "Are you saying… uh, calculating the time, it's almost here."
"Why does that sound so sad?"
Andrew complained. Diana sighed. It was indeed quite sad. She said, "Have Fiora come pick me up. I miss you, too."
"I miss you very much too."
Andrew chuckled. Then, he hung up the phone and had Fiora go pick her up.
After a while, Alice reminded him, "Boss, Damian Wayneis downstairs, saying he wants to visit you and ask for some advice."
Andrew was a bit surprised, then said, "Let him come up."
"Ask for advice? I hope it's not about father-son relationships."
Andrew shook his head, brewing tea while waiting for Damian to come up.
Meanwhile, around Martha, around Louise, around Green Lantern's girlfriend, around Arthur's father, and around Cyborg's father, mercenaries were quietly approaching.
Their goal was simple: kidnap the relatives of these Super Heroes.
And in the underground laboratory, Luthor was directing his assistants to place six Kryptonian incubation pods into special liquid. Next, all he had to do was activate the device to turn these Kryptonians into Doomsday.
Dr. Donovan said to Luthor, "Mr. Luthor, this is our first experiment. Shouldn't we be cautious and only use one test subject?
All six at once, if something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome, and the losses will be significant."
"Are you telling me how to do my job?"
Luthor asked with a half-smile. Dr. Donovan was startled and quickly lowered his head, saying, "I'm just worried there won't be enough power. This experiment requires drawing power from the entire city."
"Don't worry, Metropolis has Tony Stark's new energy. There's enough power. Besides, my intuition tells me that this time, it will definitely succeed, and we don't have time to take it slow."
Luthor said, "Everyone, last check of the device. If there's a problem in anyone's area of responsibility, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Yes, Mr. Luthor."
Everyone dared not neglect, meticulously checking the devices. Luthor retreated to the main hall, calculating data to avoid any errors.
Just then, a voice sounded behind Luthor, "I didn't realize you were hiding so deeply. I almost, just barely, fell for your trick. Truly, just barely."
Luthor said without turning his head, "How do you know that 'just barely' wasn't something I deliberately leaked to you?"
"What?"
Indigo was startled. Just as she was about to act, four circular objects around her simultaneously began to spin rapidly. Then, she was enveloped by a powerful magnetic force and slowly floated into mid-air.
Indigo's expression changed. She tried to transform into an electric current to escape, but to her surprise, her tried-and-true ability failed this time. She couldn't revert to an electric current and could only remain in human form.
Indigo shouted with shock and anger, "Luthor!"
"Can you be a bit more polite? You're not supposed to shout in the laboratory, don't you understand?"
Luthor turned and roared. The surrounding researchers secretly rolled their eyes. Aren't you shouting loudly too?
"My apologies, I lost my composure."
Soon, Luthor put on a smiling face again, and he said proudly, "Alien, let me tell you something, we Earthlings are the most formidable.
It only took me three days to decipher your abilities. If you weren't still useful, I would have dealt with you long ago."
Indigo gritted her teeth, "Lex Luthor."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I don't know if you've realized it yourself, but you can be formatted. Before long, you'll become a host completely obedient to my commands."
Luthor said, "Of course, that's after Doomsday is born. While your memory is still intact, you can recall more. Soon, you won't have that chance."
"Luthor, you won't come to a good end."
Indigo glared at Luthor, gritting her teeth. Luthor was unconcerned. He said, "Next time, I'll treat you to candy."
Having said that, Luthor continued to immerse himself in the creation of Doomsday. Whether it was gods or Aliens, they would all submit to the creations of humanity.
Daily Planet Headquarters.
As soon as Andrew saw Damian, he realized that he wasn't… uh, no, he realized that Damian harbored ill will towards him.
Andrew sighed. He was so low-key, so why did someone still want to harm him?
Seeing Andrew sigh, Damian asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly sigh when you saw me?"
"It feels troublesome. If I hit you too lightly, I'll feel annoyed. If I hit you too hard, your father might just go dark and turn into a Dark Batman."
Andrew said, "You know, your father is just one step away from going dark, or rather, he's already gone dark but is pretending he hasn't."
"He knows?"
Damian was startled by the words and instinctively wanted to make a move. Then, he held back. The other party dared to say it directly, so they certainly weren't afraid of him. Fiora was probably already watching him from outside the window.
"Don't worry, Fiora went to pick up Wonder Woman."
Andrew said with a smile, "This is your best, and last, chance."
Damian paused, then asked unwillingly, "How did you find me? I should have had no flaws."
Andrew said disappointedly, "You're giving up so easily? That's not the Batman family tradition. Try again, you might succeed."
"You want me to make a move, then take the opportunity to beat me up, don't you?"
Damian snorted coldly, "That person said your character was terrible, and he was right. Let your Superman bodyguard come in. I admit defeat."
"I didn't expect Batman to speak ill of people in secret. I should note that down."
Andrew said, "I told you, Fiora went to pick up Wonder Woman."
Damian didn't believe it at all. Just then, Fiora flew in with Wonder Woman. Damian was dumbfounded. She really went to pick up Wonder Woman?
"If I had just acted directly…"
Damian felt a bit regretful. Andrew chuckled, "If you had just acted directly, I might have become your captive… just kidding. Alright, no more nonsense. Tell me, why do you want to deal with me?"
"Deal with you?" Wonder Woman was surprised, "Andrew, what's going on?"
"I'm asking him now."
Andrew motioned for Fiora to leave. Then, he said, "The tea's ready, Diana. Let's listen to young master Damian's story while drinking tea, and by the way, think about how to punish this little guy."
"Sounds good."
Wonder Woman said. Damian rolled his eyes. Batmanwas wrong. This guy isn't just terrible; he's extremely terrible.
Chapter 605 Punishment, Attack
"It's like this…"
Damian no longer concealed anything, explaining the situation in detail. Then, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Wang, please help me rescue my mother from that mysterious buyer. I will let you do as you please."
"Mysterious buyer?"
Andrew stroked his chin. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Lex Luthor.
Andrew was about to say something when Alice popped up and said, "BOSS, Martha, Louise, Green Lantern's girlfriend, Arthur's father, and Cyborg's father's nano-watches are all simultaneously sending out distress signals."
"Immediately notify the Superheroes to rescue them."
Andrew snorted coldly. It was a good thing he had prepared in advance, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
At Kent Farm, Martha was busy in the cornfield. Some time ago, Clark had taken her to Metropolis to live and look after Kara, but she really couldn't get used to it and ran back after a month.
In the City, Martha was bored to death, listless all day. Back in the countryside, she was full of vigor.
"Although the big City is good, it's not for me. This is my place."
Martha murmured to herself. Just then, a tranquilizer dart shot at her from the side, intending to make her instantly unconscious, without a chance to call for help.
Martha naturally didn't notice the tranquilizer dart at all. At the critical moment, the nano-watch on her wrist glowed, and a defensive shield enveloped Martha's entire body. The tranquilizer dart bounced back with a clang.
Then, a voice came from the nano-watch: "Madam Martha, please flee forward immediately. Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive soon."
Martha was a bit stunned. Just then, several mercenaries holding tranquilizer guns rushed towards her, with a car behind them. She shuddered and quickly rushed into the cornfield, fleeing forward.
The mercenaries chased after her relentlessly, continuously firing tranquilizer darts. Fortunately, all of them were blocked by the defensive shield.
More than ten seconds later, a sonic boom sounded in the sky. Then, a young girl descended from above, grabbed a mercenary, and forcefully smashed him into the other mercenaries.
The remaining mercenaries were greatly alarmed and tried to retreat, but it was too late. Not to mention them, even the car was thrown a hundred meters away by the young girl, tumbling continuously.
After dealing with the mercenaries, Kara quickly flew to Martha's side and asked, "Martha, are you alright?"
Martha breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. What's going on?"
"It seems someone wants to capture you and Louise to threaten my cousin."
Kara said, "Clark went to rescue Louise, and I came here to rescue you. You should come with me to a safe place first, and return to the farm after this is over."
"Okay."
Martha didn't refuse. She wasn't worried about herself, but rather afraid of implicating Clark. However, that boy actually went to save Louise instead of her, he really… grew up!
In Metropolis, all the mercenaries around Louise were defeated by Superman. Superman's expression was very grim. He hadn't expected Mr. Wang's words to be true. Fortunately, Mr. Wang had made preparations in advance, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The thought of Martha and Louise being captured by the enemy made Superman's eyes turn a little red.
Seeing this, Louise quickly comforted him, "Clark, don't be angry about these people. It's not worth it."
"It's good that you're fine. If anything happened to you, I would never let The Mastermind get away with it."
Superman said with hatred. Louise smiled and said, "I always thought you wouldn't say sweet words."
"I'm speaking from my heart."
Superman said honestly. Then, he contacted Kara and received the news that Martha was safe, immediately breathing a sigh of relief. This time, he really had to thank Mr. Wang properly.
On the other side, Cyborg's father was rescued by Flash, while Arthur's father was rescued by the Sea Clan Guard—Arthur had always secretly sent people to protect his father.
As for Green Lantern's girlfriend, he rescued her himself, as he happened to be nearby.
Lex Luthor's plan completely failed. His only achievement was thoroughly enraging the Superheroes.
"Who is The Mastermind? I'm going to kill him."
Arthur Curry (Aquaman) shouted in the communication channel. Cyborg also said with a cold face, "For the first time, I agree with Arthur Curry (Aquaman)'s opinion. He must be killed."
Green Lantern also said, "Completely agree. If you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, I'll do it."
"It's a good thing my identity hasn't been leaked. I need to be even more careful in the future."
Flash secretly rejoiced. He was also very annoyed, after all, The Mastermind's methods were simply too despicable.
Even the usually good-tempered Superman said, "Mr. Wang, was it Lex Luthor who did this? I'm going to find him and have a good talk. Don't worry, he won't die."
Batman advised, "Calm down. We are Superheroes. We cannot be controlled by anger."
Andrew said in a low voice, "Batman, I'm sorry, your son…"
"What happened to Damian? Did Lex Luthor send people to attack him?"
Batman's voice suddenly became high-pitched. Arthur Curry (Aquaman), Cyborg, and Green Lantern booed. What happened to not getting angry easily?
Tony secretly complained, "He's always been a hypocrite."
Andrew said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Your son just tried to kidnap me. I'm going to give him a lesson he'll never forget, so, I'm saying sorry in advance."
Everyone rolled their eyes. It was obvious Andrew was messing with Batman.
"He tried to kidnap you?"
Batman was stunned. He thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Talia is in Lex Luthor's hands. Damian's return this time is part of Lex Luthor's plan."
Arthur Curry (Aquaman) said impatiently, "The culprit is Lex Luthor, right? I'm going to find him immediately."
"Lex Luthor is a big capitalist, we can't act recklessly."
Batman said, "Those mercenaries should know where Deathstroke is. As long as we catch Deathstroke, we can implicate Lex Luthor and put him in prison."
"That works too."
Although everyone was a bit dissatisfied, they still agreed. After all, they were Superheroes and couldn't just act on their impulses.
"I'll interrogate them."
Green Lantern volunteered. Then, he grabbed two mercenaries and took them on a high-altitude freefall. Soon, the two mercenaries chose to comply.
After getting the location of Deathstroke's underground base, Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Flash, and Cyborg wasted no time and immediately went there.
"Fiora, go bring Green Lantern, Arthur Curry (Aquaman), and Zatanna to Metropolis."
Andrew thought for a moment and instructed Fiora. Fioradidn't waste words and immediately set off.
Then, Andrew called Mary and said, "The woman who comes to my house every night, my girlfriend is back and said she wants to meet you. Oh, by the way, do you want me to book a hospital for you in advance?"
Damian perked up his ears, as if there was some juicy gossip to hear.
"You talk as if I definitely can't beat her. By the way, your girlfriend is back, so why is your voice still so strong? Shouldn't she beat you up first?"
Mary complained. She said, "I'm at work right now. I'll go tonight."
Andrew said, "No more jokes, there's serious business."
"Serious business so soon? Alright, I'll ask for leave immediately."
Mary was stunned at his words, then nodded in agreement. Soon, a figure took off from Los Angeles, rushing at full speed towards Metropolis.
Diana said, "I think she makes a lot of sense. You should be beaten up first."
"Would you be willing?"
Andrew laughed loudly. At this moment, Damian said, "The Mastermind is Lex Luthor, right? I'm going to find him immediately and force him to hand over my mother."
"This is an adult matter, let the adults handle it."
Andrew said, "As for you, it's time for your punishment."
Accompanying Andrew's voice, a cluster of nano-particles flew from his hand, forming a medieval maiden's dress in the air.
"What do you mean?"
Damian's expression changed, and he tried to step back. Unexpectedly, a cluster of nano-particles suddenly emerged from the ground, wrapping around his body, making him unable to move.
"This is a good thing I spent five minutes creating."
Andrew said, "The Lady's Gown, with its own intelligent system. Whoever wears it will become a lady, even a boy."
"Lady's Gown?"
Diana couldn't help but laugh. She punched Andrew, "You're such a bully."
Damian's face flushed, and he shouted loudly, "I won't wear it! I'd rather die than wear it!"
"That's not up to you. I think Batman shouldn't mind having another daughter."
Andrew snapped his fingers, and the Lady's Gown flew towards Damian. Damian opened his eyes, a look of horror on his face, "Don't come closer!"
The Lady's Gown naturally ignored Damian's words. It split into two down the middle, automatically putting itself on Damian. Then, the intelligent system activated.
"A lady must have long hair. A lady cannot wear messy clothes."
Four hands emerged from the gown. Two helped Damianwith makeup and styling his hair, even conjuring a wig. Two others stripped off Damian's original clothes.
Damian was furious and shouted, "Stop it! fuck, stop it right now!"
"A lady cannot use foul language. Also, your voice is too rough."
The gown injected nano-particles into Damian's throat. Damian's voice immediately became high-pitched, like a young girl's.
"What the…"
Damian was so angry he wanted to curse, but found he couldn't make a sound.
This wasn't over yet. Then, under the control of the gown, Damian said in a very gentle voice, "Today is a good day. Let us praise summer, ah…"
Diana laughed so hard she fell onto Andrew. She said, "Andrew, Batman is going to kill you."
Andrew held Diana and asked, "Do you believe that Damian will willingly wear this gown in the future?"
Diana didn't believe it: "How is that possible? He probably wants to die right now."
"Why not possible? It's common knowledge that cross-dressing is either zero times or countless times."
Andrew said, "This gown is actually an alternative nano-Iron Man Suit. It can greatly enhance his strength and comes with its own armory, stronger than the one Zha Kang has.
I believe it won't be long before he willingly puts on this armor and becomes a powerful… Lady."
Diana couldn't help but retort, "Andrew, please be a person."
Andrew said, "Nonsense, I am not some devil."
Damian, who was reciting next to them, almost cried. If you're not a devil, who is?
Jokes aside, serious business still needed to be done. Andrew snapped his fingers, and a holographic projection appeared in front of him. It was a live broadcast from Iron Man's perspective.
At this moment, Iron Man and the others had already broken into Deathstroke's underground base. When the mercenaries saw the Superheroes coming, they immediately pulled their triggers, and bullets rained down on everyone.
Tony instantly raised a defensive shield to block the bullets. Then, with a Flash of electricity, all the thugs flew out, hitting the walls and falling unconscious.
"Well done, Flash."
Cyborg nodded and fired an energy cannon at the door ahead. Clearly, he was a bit angry.
Then, everyone rushed into the base hall and found many strange animals caged there, such as gorillas with bat wings, and crocodiles that looked like dogs, and so on.
Everyone's expressions were a bit grim: "These guys are really going too far."
"Too far? This is for scientific progress."
Just then, a screen on the side lit up. Dr. Kirk said, "Once my experiment succeeds, humanity will not only overcome all diseases but also become incredibly powerful, achieving a transformation in life.
For such a great cause, what's the sacrifice of a few animals and humans?"
"Again? You villains are always so self-righteous, I'm tired of hearing it."
Tony said with a look of disdain, "Can't you come up with something new?"
"Tony Stark, your mouth is as foul as the magazines say."
Dr. Kirk's expression was a bit grim. He snorted coldly, and the surrounding doors opened. Hundreds of Man-Bats flew out, surrounding the Superheroes.
The Superheroes were somewhat angry. These were hundreds of human lives.
Dr. Kirk said, "Superheroes, do you know? These Man-Bats can turn back into humans. I have already developed the antidote."
After speaking, Dr. Kirk smiled triumphantly and turned off the screen. Then, all the surrounding cages opened simultaneously. The animals were stunned. Some immediately escaped their cages, while others cautiously tested the waters.
The Man-Bats, however, growled and transformed into shadows, attacking the Superheroes.
Flash activated the Speed Force, pushing away the charging Man-Bats one after another. Then, he asked somewhat confusedly, "Uh, what did that guy mean by his last sentence?"
"He means that killing these Man-Bats is equivalent to killing humans because they can turn back into humans."
Batman, while dealing with the Man-Bats, said, "Flash, leave this to us. You go find that old man and force him to hand over the antidote. Superman, you help Flash clear a path."
"Okay."
Superman's eyes glowed red, continuously blasting through the wall ahead.
"How despicable. I'll find him as soon as possible."
Flash didn't waste words and immediately turned into a Flash of electricity, passing through the wall and disappearing.
Dr. Kirk was currently retreating. He cursed in his heart, "I have to find a new place to start again. Damn Superheroes, you are committing a crime, a crime against science."
Dr. Kirk never felt he was wrong. In matters of science, where is there right or wrong?
In the hall, although they knew Dr. Kirk's intention, this was an open conspiracy, and everyone could only try their best to hold back. For example, Tony abandoned his energy gun and switched to electroshock, and Superman reined in his strength, knocking out the Man-Bats one after another.
Because there were too many Man-Bats and mutated animals, the situation was slightly deadlocked.
'Lady' Damian, seeing the Superheroes' performance, snorted, "Womanly compassion."
Chapter 606: Three Palace Demons
As soon as Damian finished speaking, the long-dressed figure pinched his nose and scolded him, "A lady shouldn't snort; it's very rude."
Damian was exasperated. Andrew smiled. Iron Man and the others were indeed a bit soft-hearted, but isn't that what Superheroes are all about?
At this moment, the holographic projection changed. A young girl, cloaked in black and shimmering with dark light, flew into the hall. She seemed to be in a great hurry. Upon seeing so many monsters, she immediately began chanting obscure and incomprehensible incantations.
Accompanying the girl's incantations, the Man-Bats and animals successively fell to the ground. Then, without a word, the girl swiftly flew deeper into the large hole.
The Superheroes looked at each other. Batman checked and said, "They're not dead; they're just unconscious."
"We seem to have been outdone. Let's follow her. She's in such a hurry, there must be something important."
Tony said, and everyone nodded, quickly giving chase—Batman was carried by Superman.
"This girl?"
Andrew narrowed his eyes. The girl had a very strong demonic aura about her. She was a half-demon, and of no low rank.
"It seems a strange development has occurred."
Andrew rubbed his ring. Ghost Rider might have to make an appearance again, though of course, there would be no overtime pay.
On the way, Tony asked the girl, "Little girl, is there something big going on? We are the Superheroes of the Justice League; we can help."
"I know you, the famous homosexual Iron Man."
The girl said, "You all should leave. This matter is not something you can handle."
"Famous homosexual?"
Tony's old face darkened. Cyborg and the others secretly snickered. After spending so much time together, they already knew Tony's true hobby—robots.
Tony said, "I think there's nothing on Earth that our Justice League can't handle."
The girl ignored Tony, accelerating forward. The Superheroes exchanged glances and followed closely.
Soon, the group arrived at the deepest part of the underground. There was a pool completely shrouded in green light, from which an eerie aura emanated. Beside the pool stood a smoking man in a trench coat.
"Why is there no movement? Could he really have been corrupted by a demon?"
Constantine felt a surge of worry. At first, Deathstroke was yelling loudly, but as time passed, he gradually fell silent. However, he wasn't dead; he was still absorbing the green light.
"Constantine, what are you doing here?"
Tony exclaimed in surprise, "Don't tell me this has something to do with you?"
Constantine spread his hands and said, "I'm a victim. I was captured by Deathstroke."
"Do you know what you're doing? Stop the magic arrayimmediately."
The girl, nicknamed Raven, shouted anxiously while conjuring black orbs to blast the pool, "If he descends, the entire Earth will be destroyed."
The black orbs, carrying shimmering electrical light, slammed into the pool full of green light, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, instantly disappearing. Then, the aura in the pool became incredibly violent, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.
"Destroy the world? Are you kidding me? I'm just trying to get an immortal body."
Constantine asked somewhat astonished. Batmanshouted, "Constantine, stop the magic array immediately! Others, attack the pool!"
"Okay."
Without unnecessary words, Superman's Heat Vision, Tony's energy cannons, and Cyborg's energy blasts continuously bombarded the green pool.
Unfortunately, their attacks, like Raven's, were all swallowed by the green light.
Constantine hastily spat out his cigarette, intending to stop the magic array. However, as soon as he touched the magic array, he was flung away by a powerful force.
Then, a towering figure rose from the pool, six eye-shaped yellow lights clearly visible within the green glow.
Afterward, a low voice came from the pool, "My dear daughter, you've arrived?"
Accompanying this voice, a three-meter-tall, muscular figure emerged from the pool.
"A demon?"
Everyone was startled. This figure not only had two horns on its head but also six yellow eyes on its face, looking very terrifying.
Constantine sighed. It seemed Deathstroke had indeed been corrupted. His savings were all going to become someone else's.
"Trigon!"
Raven gritted her teeth. She shouted, "I will send this consciousness of yours back! As long as I live, you won't get out!"
"Trigon?!"
Constantine retreated in fear. This was a top-tier Arch-Demon. Shit, why did he always get involved in such big matters? Was it because he was too handsome and envied by heaven?
"Trigon?" The Superheroes looked at each other. They had naturally never heard of this name, but it seemed to be a big shot.
In front of the holographic projection, Andrew and Dianasimultaneously frowned. Clearly, this was a very big problem.
Andrew commanded, "Fiora, Mary, you two speed up."
"My dear daughter, dutifully release my seal, otherwise, don't blame me, your father, for being heartless."
Trigon said coldly. His true body was sealed by Raven. Fortunately, he had made many arrangements on Earth before, such as the Lazarus Pit, which could resurrect people.
Previously, Trigon sensed Deathstroke absorbing demonic power and was overjoyed, immediately splitting off a consciousness to possess Deathstroke.
Then, Trigon transferred his other arrangements on Earth, forming a powerful clone.
"Dream on! Go back to your hell, Trigon!"
Raven shouted, and the black light on her body transformed into a raven, flapping its wings and attacking Trigon.
Trigon drew the two long blades from behind him and slashed forcefully. The raven was instantly split in two and dissipated in the air.
"Why do you suppress your magic and true nature? My dear daughter, you are a demon, just like me."
Trigon strode towards Raven. Just then, two Heat Visionblasts struck him fiercely in the chest. Even Trigon was pushed back by the Heat Vision, it was Superman launching an attack.
"Seeking death."
Trigon was enraged. He opened his mouth, and a torrent of fire spewed forth, engulfing Superman.
Superman couldn't help but let out a scream, hastily retreating. This was demonic fire, after all.
Seeing this, the others all launched attacks on Trigon. Trigon snorted coldly, stomping his right foot on the ground. A large amount of earth flew up, ignited by flames, turning into fireballs that assailed the group.
Everyone quickly dodged. Constantine rushed to Superman's side, pouring holy water frantically onto him. The demonic fire quickly extinguished.
"Foolish humans."
Trigon let out a silent roar towards the sky. The surrounding Man-Bats simultaneously opened their red eyes and swarmed towards Iron Man and the others.
Then, Trigon, holding two long blades, continued to walk towards Raven. Raven chanted incantations, and black energy orbs continuously shot towards Trigon.
"I told you, use your true power."
Trigon roared, breaking through the energy orbs and suddenly appearing in front of Raven. He unleashed a powerful slash that seemed to cleave through space, striking at Raven.
Raven hastily retreated. Trigon snorted coldly, and a large black hand emerged from the ground, firmly grasping Raven.
Then, Trigon brought a blade straight down towards Raven's neck. At the critical moment, Raven let out a loud roar, and a surge of demonic power erupted, flinging Trigon away.
Also flung away was Raven's cloak. Everyone was startled when they saw her appearance; she too had six glowing eyes.
This was Raven's true form. Before, she had been suppressing her magic, lest she turn into a true demon.
"Trigon!"
Raven roared, her magic transforming into nine ravens that assailed Trigon. Trigon, while swinging his twin blades, laughed heartily: "This is you, my dear daughter."
"I am not your daughter."
Raven's hands condensed black light, and a massive black lightning bolt struck towards Trigon. Trigon transformed into black mist and flew to Raven's side, his twin blades slashing down repeatedly.
Raven was about to dodge when a figure suddenly appeared beside Trigon, punching him away, sending him crashing heavily into the wall, which completely caved in.
This figure was none other than Superman. He was now covered in a dazzling layer of magical light, which Constantine had provided him.
Constantine shouted, "Try not to get hit! My magic can't withstand Trigon many times!"
"Understood."
Superman opened his mouth and used his Freeze Breath on Trigon, who had jumped down from the wall. A large amount of cold air enveloped Trigon, freezing him within it.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Raven sensed something and hastily fired black lightning at the shadow on the ground, while also shouting, "Be careful!"
Superman hastily flew into the sky. Just then, a black shadow rushed down from the ceiling, breaking through Superman's protective magic and entering his body.
Superman's eyes quickly turned black. Then, he turned and fired Heat Vision at the ice. The ice exploded with a bang, and Trigon walked out of the cold air.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically. Superman was actually controlled? This joke was not funny at all.
"Andrew, I'm coming over right away."
Wonder Woman changed her attire in a second and shouted to Andrew. Andrew said, "Tony has a locator. I'll activate the teleportation device to send you over. This opponent is very powerful, so equip the Godkiller Bracers directly."
Wonder Woman nodded: "Okay."
Damian hurriedly said, "I'm going too."
Andrew looked at Damian and asked, "Are you sure?"
Damian remembered the current situation, his face flushed, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Very sure."
"Good, I've decided to change your punishment from seven days to six and a half days."
Andrew smiled and quickly set up the teleportation device.
Damian rolled his eyes: "Seven days becoming six and a half days? You might as well not change it at all!"
"My dear daughter, have you forgotten what I'm best at? You shouldn't have brought anyone else with you."
In the underground base, Trigon sneered. Then, four black shadows flew out from under his feet, rapidly spreading towards Iron Man, Batman, Constantine, and Cyborg.
Trigon possessed many abilities, the most powerful of which was control.
"Dream on!"
Raven activated her magic, and the entire underground base trembled. Just then, two Heat Vision blasts struck her, sending her flying. It was Superman who launched a sneak attack.
Chapter 607 Start
Then, Superman, with astonishing speed, rushed to Raven, and a punch with a sonic boom smashed heavily towards her head.
Raven hurriedly rolled to dodge, and Superman's fist heavily slammed into the ground, creating a large pit and sending dust flying.
Raven was secretly startled, raised her hand, and a black light bloomed from her palm, sending Superman flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall.
Trigon strode towards Raven and said, "My dear daughter, unseal it, otherwise, I will slaughter Earth, and use their lives to forcibly break the seal. Daughter, you know I can do it."
"From what I know of you, even if I unseal it, you won't spare Earth."
Raven flew up, while controlling nine crows to continue attacking Trigon, and said decisively, "Trigon, I will never let you harm the world again."
"Who would have thought that my daughter, Trigon's daughter, would be as kind as an angel?"
Trigon laughed heartily, and he said, "My dear daughter, you are not wrong. Since I am here, I will conquer this place. You cannot stop me."
While speaking, Trigon raised his right hand, and balls of flame emerged from the void, shooting continuously towards Raven and her crows.
Raven immediately counterattacked, and the father and daughter fought fiercely within the base.
"Dodge those shadows."
Leaving Raven and Trigon's battle aside for now, seeing the shadows rushing towards them, Iron Man and the other three hurriedly dodged. The problem was, there were a large number of Man-Bats around them.
These Man-Bats desperately lunged at everyone, making it impossible for them to escape, and the shadows took the opportunity to quickly pounce on the four.
"fuck, I swear, I'll never touch a woman who throws herself at me again."
Constantine cursed, put his hands together, and the tattoos on them glowed simultaneously, forming a circle that sealed the shadow inside.
Cyborg mechanized his entire body immediately, but unfortunately, it was useless, because the shadow flew into his eyes, and his eyes quickly turned black.
Tony's whole body lit up with dazzling electric light. The shadow was hit by the electric light, couldn't help but wail, and its size rapidly shrank.
"It's afraid of electricity?"
Tony was overjoyed, immediately placed his hands beside the shadow, and then, violent currents surged from his hands, destroying the shadow with crackling sounds.
Having successfully dealt with the shadow, Tonyarrogantly said, "Want to control me? Dream on. I have seven anti-control measures prepared on me, a full seven."
Among these seven measures, the last one was Jarvisknocking him out and taking over the Iron Man Suit, of course, it had to be confirmed by Andrew.
"Seven anti-control measures? Why does that sound so sad, Mr. Kidnapping Man?"
Andrew complained, and Tony rolled his eyes. He had sworn that he would never be controlled again, and he would never be Kidnapping Man again.
He, Tony Stark, was different now. If he were really controlled again, then he would… make another vow.
Batman was completely unable to resist the shadow, and just as he was about to be controlled, at a critical moment, Flash appeared out of thin air and moved him to the other side.
Batman breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Flash, did you get the antidote?"
"That guy didn't produce an antidote at all, but he said the formula was real."
Flash cursed. Before, he caught up with Dr. Kirk, thinking he could get the antidote, but the guy hadn't produced any at all.
Dr. Kirk was also very self-righteous: "Why should I produce an antidote that is disadvantageous to us? Isn't it enough to research the formula just in case?"
Flash indicated that what you said made a lot of sense, and he was speechless. Then, he punched Dr. Kirkunconscious and rushed over to support everyone.
"That's disgusting."
Batman couldn't help but curse. At this moment, the shadow rushed over again, and he hurriedly shouted to Flash, "These shadows can be eliminated with lightning energy, Flash, use that move you've been practicing all this time."
"I haven't fully mastered that move yet, it often fails, and the aim is very poor."
Flash hesitated a bit, and Batman said, "Don't think so much, run, Flash, run."
"Okay."
Flash gritted his teeth, turned into electric light, ran wildly around, and then, with a wave of his arm, a lightning bolt flew out along his arm, hitting the shadow, which instantly vanished into thin air.
This was Flash's new move, throwing lightning.
Currently, Flash has only just mastered this move. The preparation time is slightly longer, and he can only emit one lightning bolt, but this is undoubtedly a good start. Our Flash is growing rapidly.
"It worked."
Flash was very excited, and Batman also breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, two Heat Vision blasts struck Flash, and Flash screamed as he flew out, crashing into the wall and falling down.
Then, Superman turned his gaze to Batman. He didn't say any unnecessary words, and two Heat Vision blasts roared out.
Batman hurriedly raised his gauntlet to absorb the energy of the Heat Vision, and at the same time, he quickly opened the "Superman Blackened" folder in his mind, looking for a way to fight Superman.
Unfortunately, all methods to deal with Superman required extensive preparation, and Batman currently had no way to deal with Superman.
The energy capacity of the gauntlet was limited and it quickly began to smoke. Just as Batman was about to suffer, at a critical moment, a figure in a long dress rushed out, grabbed Batman, and escaped to the side.
Batman breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the person who saved him. At this sight, even he, who was always calm, was stunned.
Why did his son suddenly turn into a girl wearing a wig and a long dress? Had he always been cross-dressing? Or did he have a hobby of wearing women's clothes?
Uh, speaking of which, she was quite pretty.
"Don't speak, and don't ask."
Damian endured the shame and said in a feigned cold voice. Then, he put down Batman, and energy guns popped out from his arms, continuously firing at the Man-Bats flying down.
Batman was silent for a moment and said, "Damian, I will support you."
"…"
Damian almost fell over, both ashamed and angry. Support what the fuck?
Damian secretly thought, "In this life, never provoke Andrew Wang. That guy is definitely a devil reincarnated."
As Damian rescued Batman, a shield heavily struck Superman, sending him flying, and then the shield flew back into Wonder Woman's hand.
Wonder Woman and Damian had arrived to provide support via a teleportation device.
Superman stabilized in the air, and two Heat Vision blasts slammed towards Diana. Diana raised her Shield of Power to block the Heat Vision, her body being pushed back continuously.
Diana shouted, and a lightning bolt flew from her gauntlet, striking Superman and sending him flying backward again.
Then, Diana asked, "Constantine, how do we get Superman back to normal?"
Constantine shouted, "Give me some time, I need to think."
Just then, an energy cannon blasted towards Constantine. Constantine hurriedly dodged. He turned his head and saw that it was the controlled Cyborg attacking him.
Constantine cursed, equipping his nano-suit to fight Cyborg and those Man-Bats.
In the office, Fiora returned with Zatanna, Aquaman, and Green Lantern. As for Mary, she had already arrived and was on standby nearby.
"You've come at just the right time."
Andrew said, "Zatanna, how do we dispel Trigon's control?"
"Trigon? Can you Justice League find weaker opponents next time? It's either Gabriel or Trigon, I'm under a lot of pressure, okay?"
Zatanna complained. She said, "Trigon is a very powerful demon. Fortunately, he is not his true body, just a consciousness. As long as you heavily strike the puppet's head with positive energy, you can knock the shadow out.
Uh, Superman's head is very hard, I don't know if this method will work?"
"It seems that physically waking someone up works everywhere."
Andrew told Diana Zatanna's method. Diana nodded and said, "I know what to do. Leave Superman to me."
"Teleport me over too."
Zatanna said, "Trigon is very dangerous, he must be expelled, otherwise, the whole world will be in danger."
Aquaman and Green Lantern also said, "We'll go help too."
"Okay."
Andrew was about to nod, when suddenly, the lights in the office dimmed. He felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Alice, is there a problem with the city's power system?"
Alice replied, "Yes, Boss, there's a city-wide blackout. All electricity is surging towards a building in the south."
"A building in the south?"
Andrew turned and looked towards the south, and soon saw Lex Luthor in the underground base, looking excitedly at six cultivation tanks submerged in an unknown liquid.
"Six?"
Andrew was a little surprised. It was obvious that Luthor was creating Doomsday, but the question was, how did he do it, and six at once? Weren't those two Kryptonian corpses always with the military?
"These villains are really full of surprises."
Andrew shook his head and instructed Alice, "Notify the power plant to forcibly shut down the city's electricity."
The New Energy Power Plant was a Stark Industriesproperty, and Andrew had the authority to shut it down.
Alice quickly replied, "Boss, they said there are some issues with the system. If forcibly shut down, the power plant will explode."
"He's really thought of everything. Tell the power plant staff to evacuate."
Andrew snorted coldly. It was obvious that Luthor had made a lot of preparations beforehand.
Green Lantern asked, "Mr. Wang, is something wrong?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "Iron Man, activate the device and swap positions with Zatanna. Zatanna, please take care of Trigon."
Zatanna nodded: "I'll try my best."
Then, a white light flashed, Zatanna disappeared, replaced by Iron Man, who asked, "What's going on? Why was I temporarily pulled back? The situation over there isn't optimistic."
"The city's electricity is being frantically drawn by someone. I suspect Lex Luthor is conducting some evil experiment."
Andrew used the teleportation device to teleport over a specially made silver box. Then, he put the large box on his back and said, "Without further ado, let's go to the south together to investigate.
This time, the enemy might be quite powerful, so everyone remember to be careful."
