Lunchtime always passed quickly.
Louise stared at the two after clearing the dishes, her meaning clear.
Get out, quickly.
"Here, for you two."
Richard casually pulled out a box and placed it on the table.
Clark was stunned; where did he pull it out from?
"We don't need it, take it away!"
Louise didn't even look at what was inside; at most, it was just gold or something similar.
Although she was an ordinary reporter, her father was General Lane.
"Ms. Louise, I know what you're thinking, but you can't stop it. Even if we do nothing, he will gradually recover."
Richard said.
"So your purpose is to take advantage of his memory loss to curry favor with him, so you can better use him once he recovers, is that it?!"
Louise's expression at that moment was like a lioness who had just given birth.
Clark nervously stood up, protecting Louise.
They were fine just a moment ago, why did they suddenly start arguing?
Use me? What value do I have that they would want to use?
"No, what's inside is not just for Clark; it's for you too, consider it for your child."
Richard stood up and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye, both of you, thank you for the lunch."
Bang.
Hearing the sound of the door closing,
Louise sat down weakly. Even if he lost his memory and superpowers, trouble would still find him.
"Louise..."
Clark looked at the small box Richard had left behind.
"It's okay, Clark."
Louise opened the box that had been left.
Inside were a few bottles of medicine, some canned goods, and a golden sphere.
Next to them were an instruction manual and a letter.
Clark picked up the letter; it contained only one sentence.
If you intend to re-accept your past self, then eat this sphere.

Back in the Batcave.
Only Bruce remained here, with a pile of strange instruments analyzing the mother box. Hearing footsteps behind him, he asked without turning his head,
"How's the situation?"
"As you guessed, because he was revived using Lazarus Pit water, his body cells lack energy. More exposure to the Sun will fix it.
But I haven't found the reason for the memory loss."
Richard stated the problems he had found.
"I understand."
Bruce said, then continued to study the mother box.
"Bruce, with your abilities, there are many ways to restore his power. Why don't you do it? Is it because of guilt?"
Richard suddenly said.
Bruce's fingers paused.
"Guilt? Perhaps, but more than that, I want to tell him during this time that humans can protect themselves, allowing him to rest as Clark for a while."
Bruce's voice carried a hint of imperceptible heaviness.
Because of his own recklessness, he was exploited, ultimately leading to Superman's sacrifice.
"Do you have a plan for this crisis? Superman is temporarily offline, and those new recruits might not obey your orders."
"Which plan are you asking about?"
Batman smiled confidently.
He was never afraid of enemies being too strong, because any enemy he could see through would fall under his plan.
Even a temporary plan!
"Alright, the planned Batman."
Richard shook his head, mourning for the impending Steppenwolf.
Just then, a Shadow entered through the door.
Hal Jordan
He was carrying a Green Lantern battery.
"I've brought what you asked for. Can I have my Green Lantern Ring back?"
Hal was no longer as arrogant as he had been at the beginning.
Richard casually tossed the Green Lantern Ring back.
He picked up the Green Lantern battery and began to observe the energy inside.
He wanted to try forming his own Green Lantern Corps, and the Green Lantern energy within was key.
The energy in Hal's ring was too little, but the Green Lantern battery was enough for his research.
Hal put the Green Lantern Ring back on, feeling a strong sense of security.
"Although I don't know what you want this thing for, only a Green Lantern Ring can use it..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw three green rings appear in Richard's hand.
Three Green Lantern Rings!!!
These must be fake, right?
Hal thought this, then saw the ring in his hand absorb energy and float in mid-air.
The ring's program activated, beginning to search for a host.
Richard didn't stop it; he was curious if he could be chosen.
The three rings spun in the air.
One ring came before Richard.
[Intelligent life form locked.]
[From Earth... unknown life form?]
[Your heart lacks morality; you cannot become a Lantern.]
Just as the ring was about to fly away, Richard grabbed it.
"To hell with your morality! I don't believe it."
A majestic man of seven feet, to be insulted by a ring!
He forcibly put it on his finger. The Green Lantern Ring glowed with a dazzling green light, constantly struggling and emitting a cold prompt.
[You lack morality; you cannot become a Lantern...]
[You lack morality; you cannot become a Lantern...]
...
The cold sound of the ring echoed in the silent Batcave.
Batman, who had his back to them, slightly curved the corner of his mouth.
Hal silently turned his face away, desperately trying to control his expression, unable to laugh, knowing a laugh would mean death.
"Hahaha, Richard, you're immoral."
Only Venom laughed without any restraint.
Richard's face turned dark, and Chaos Magic poured into the ring.
[Operation forbidden...]
[Operation forbidden...]
[Operation... forbidden... Welcome, great Demon King, to become a Lantern!]
The ring's originally cold, mechanical voice became reverent.
The scene fell silent.
Batman's movements paused.
Hal Jordan looked at Richard in shock, who had tampered with the ring's program.
Of the two remaining Green Lantern Rings, one appeared before Venom.
[Intelligent life form locked]
[From Earth... unknown life form.]
[Your heart is full of love; you cannot join the Green Lantern Corps.]
Venom's mouth curved into a smirk as he grabbed the ring.
[Intelligent life form locked]
[From...]
Before the ring could finish speaking, Bruce grabbed it, turned, and threw it to Richard.
"When you're done playing, leave. This isn't a playground."
After speaking, he continued to operate the computer, as if nothing had happened.
"Alright, you awkward Bat."
Richard shook his head and left with Venom.
Hal looked at Bruce, then also left.
After everyone had left, Bruce went to a corner and opened a hidden secret room.
Inside was only a computer with an isolated network.
Bruce opened the computer and opened a folder.
The contents were Anti-Richard Plan 1.0, 2.0, 3.0
He began to create a new folder.
Named: Anti-Demon King Plan 4.0
Content: The target has shown the ability to tamper with high-tech weapons. It is speculated that he creates a new consciousness internally to overwrite the program.
Suggestion: When confronting him, high-tech weapons can be used as bait...
After writing, Bruce sighed.
Each meeting brought a new ability.
And this wasn't even all of it.
He could only update the plan while gathering intelligence.
