Clark was awakened by a loud, insect-like buzzing sound.
At this moment, he was weaker than ever before, and it took all his strength just to support himself with his hands.
The body that was strong enough to break steel now became soft and without any strength.
He raised his head and looked around. There were humming mechanical devices everywhere. Thick cables were placed on the ground, intertwined like a group of winding black snakes.
Clark looked up and saw the rocky soil layer. He guessed that he was probably underground.
The enemy was well aware of his situation.
Trapped him away from the sun.
Without the blessing of the yellow sun, he had no way to recover from the effects of kryptonite.
Robert Building is a scam.
I'm afraid those company executives have already moved to this unknown space.
Clark scanned every corner of the place, looking for any chance of escape.
This space is not as exquisite as those created by previous villains.
Every place reveals a brutal industrial and rugged beauty.
The cables and meters were hastily fixed on the walls without even having time to level them.
It seems that this place was opened in a hurry.
The attack of the Justice League did have some effect, at least it allowed them to flee here in a hurry.
After Superman took a look at the environment, he focused his attention on the staff members wearing red robes and with signs of mechanized transformation on their bodies.
From some secret intelligence, Superman knew that these red-robed men claimed to be followers of a certain evil cult, whose philosophy was that flesh and blood were weak and bitter, while machines could ascend.
They pursue the so-called path of truth, using machines to replace their own flesh and blood to gain stronger functions.
"What a blasphemous scene." Superman looked at those guys with mechanical prosthetic limbs and felt disgusted.
How could anyone harm their own body like this to install these things
These people's minds are so horribly twisted.
Clark shook his head and suppressed the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
These guys are crazy.
I actually wondered if their minds were twisted.
It's really ridiculous.
If they were not distorted, how could they be so arrogant and want to rule the whole world
"The genetic similarity is very low. Like the Eldar, they have a humanoid appearance and are reproductively isolated from humans. Kryptonians are not true humans and should be defined as aliens. However, judging from the current situation, this Kryptonian has a certain liking for humans."
"Goodwill doesn't mean everything. They are not our people, but just a kind of alien that is similar to us. Who knows what they will do in the future?"
Superman looked towards a corner following the sound of conversation.
The guy in red was reporting to a man wearing steel armor and with a scarred face.
The man exuded the aura that was unique to a soldier.
Cold, solemn, and indifferent to life.
The opponent's combat instincts were very sharp, and when Superman's gaze fell on him, he sensed something and turned around.
Clark saw a pair of indifferent eyes, so cold that there was no emotion, but absolute rationality, as sharp as a dagger, able to cut open a person's brain and see through any thoughts of the target.
A bastard like Lex is nothing compared to a man like this.
"Are you the mastermind behind this?" Clark looked at the man and asked, "Why do you do this?"
The man's face showed a moment of surprise, as if he was confused as to why Clark could ask such a question.
"Answer me," Clark yelled.
"I'm not the mastermind you claim." Titus looked at the awakened Superman and answered his question.
Clark was stunned when he heard this.
Aren’t these characters the ultimate enemies
Who is the operator of all this
"So what is your goal?" Clark asked, "Do you want to rule the world?"
"This doesn't seem to have much to do with you, alien." Titus said indifferently.
"I will never allow you to destroy the world with war." Superman looked at Titus, and from the anger in his eyes, it could be seen that he was not joking.
To protect this world from the threat of war, to protect this world that makes people smile.
He would never allow warmongers to appear.
In the name of Superman, he will definitely protect this world.
Titus stared at Clark for a few seconds, then turned and prepared to leave.
There is no need to waste any words with aliens. The dead aliens are the best aliens.
Superman will be squeezed dry of all his worth and publicly executed to declare war on the Justice League.
"The Justice League will surely achieve final victory. Evil will never defeat justice."
Titus stood still and gave a rare smile.
"I agree with what you said. The question is which of us is the evil side?"
When these words came out, Clark was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the other party's words.
"I'm curious about what your understanding of justice is? Is it based on what you think is good and evil? Or is it based on what your system defines as good and evil?"
"Justice is to protect the weak." Clark said word by word, "Let them live in peace and happiness, and keep those innocent people from being harmed by you bastards."
"Protecting the weak is your justice, but my justice is that the survival of mankind is above all else." Titus looked at Clark, his eyes fixed on him without any concessions. "And you have hindered us and the fate of mankind, so you who claim to be righteous are evil."
"Nonsense, it's you who are trying to decide the fate of humanity," Clark shouted.
"Doesn't the Justice League intend to interfere with the fate of mankind?" Titus interrupted him, "If you didn't want to interfere with the fate of mankind, you wouldn't have started this war, and you wouldn't have been locked up here and become my experimental specimen."
"This topic is meaningless, Lord Titus." The mechanical priest came over with a data tablet. "Those cultists also said that they were righteous, but they were defeated by us later."
Clark looked at the guys in front of him.
He knew it was useless to argue about such a topic with the other party.
The other party's mind is not comparable to those of ordinary criminals, and it is impossible to be persuaded by just a few words.
They have plans and organization, and there must be a powerful force behind them.
"Who are you?" Clark asked.
No one answered Clark's question.
The guys in red robes ignored him and focused on their workbenches.
A mechanical tentacle stretched down from above and pierced Clark's body.
Under the suppression of kryptonite, his body was no longer invulnerable, but became as fragile as an ordinary person.
The sharp metal pierced into his body, and accompanied by a stinging pain, the bright red blood was drawn into a reagent bottle along the mechanical tentacles.
The mechanical priests conducted a comprehensive inspection of it.
Try to obtain Kryptonian technology from him.
Titus silently watched Superman whose blood was being drawn for experiments, and listened to reports from various branches about the Justice League and other hostile forces.
In addition to the Justice League, governments of various countries and some civilian forces are also secretly carrying out sabotage.
At present, people from all countries are attracted by the future promised by Roboute, which means that Roboute holds the most important thing, that is, the people's hearts.
Titus also knew that the nature of those politicians and capitalists was greedy and would never be satisfied.
They crave more and are even more eager to maintain their privileged position.
Now that Roboute is in control of the situation, they are acting in this manner.
The family assets accumulated over generations were wiped out by the dimensionality reduction attack of Roboute's company, and they were standing on the same starting line as ordinary people.
If those people were willing, there wouldn't be so many wars in the world.
The status of being a superior person is always what people want most.
Especially for those people who are born in mountains that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It is their daily routine to be high above and look down on ordinary people.
One day, he suddenly fell from the altar. The gap was so huge that they would never accept it.
If the Justice League can defeat Roboute & Co., they can gain more and still maintain their original status.
For this reason, these people will definitely support the Justice League in secret.
... ... ... ..
After suffering such a devastating defeat, many heroes of the Justice League realized that Roboute Corporation was not the villains they had dealt with in the past.
They are stronger and smarter.
What they need to do is no longer to engage in small-scale fighting, but to seriously prepare for a war.
Bruce built a bat army for himself by remotely controlling his butler.
Wonder Woman summoned the warriors of Paradise Island and asked the gods to help them defeat Roboute Corporation when necessary.
Aquaman summoned soldiers from several kingdoms of Atlantis, preparing to completely cut off Roboute's ocean routes and destroy its global business empire.
That would quickly reduce Roboute's control over other regions, weakening their strength and support.
Supergirl also gathered the surviving Kryptonians. When Krypton exploded, in addition to her and Clark, some other people escaped from Krypton.
When Clark grew up, the signals from his spacecraft were also received by other members of the tribe.
When they arrived in the solar system and were blessed by the yellow sun, they gained extraordinary physical strength and all kinds of incredible powers.
Each of them possesses the abilities of a weakened version of Superman.
Although not as powerful as Clark, he should not be underestimated.
Supergirl brings them all together, which is something that has never been done before.
The addition of the Kryptonians boosted the confidence of the Justice League.
With such a powerful fighting force, it can definitely defeat Roboute Company.
An unprecedented war is about to break out.
... ... ... ... ... ..
The Guardian headquarters is located on the planet Oa in the center of the universe.
It has countless geometric buildings that stretch endlessly.
The most magnificent geometric building is where the Guardians communicate with members of the Green Lantern Corps.
Several guardians with blue skin and oval heads sat on chairs.
Their eyes were fixed on the light curtain floating in front of them, with fear and uneasiness revealed in their brows.
A crack was opened in the barrier of the universe.
A glowing passage is extending into the universe.
Evil forces from other universes are about to invade here.
The Guardians of the Universe were originally from the planet Maltus, and they possessed powerful technology.
However, during an accidental experiment to explore the mystery of the origin of the universe, some horrible truths were discovered.
That is the antimatter universe.
The material universe is reality, and the antimatter universe represents illusion.
The laws of time, space and physics are all invalid inside. It is a very mysterious and unimaginable space.
With the help of that space, the goal of superluminal flight can be easily achieved.
The existence of the multiverse was discovered as a result.
After that experiment, the Maltus people incurred the wrath of the God-Supreme God.
The reason is that they destroyed the barrier, exposing the entire universe to the eyes of some creatures that could never discover this universe.
To this end, they have two choices, the first is to be destroyed, the second is to become guardians to atone their sins and prevent those creatures from invading the universe.
The Maltus people can only choose to become guardians.
The Supreme God also revealed some truths to the Maltus people that were enough to terrify himself, letting them know the importance of becoming guardians of the universe.
There are countless universes outside the universe, connected by the antimatter space discovered by the Maltus people.
The universe is like an isolated island in the ocean. If you swim across the ocean, you can find other isolated islands.
The ocean is full of infinite possibilities, but also full of dangers. It constantly threatens the existence of isolated islands, forcing civilization to continuously move forward in order to survive.
Many civilizations died on the road of exploration.
Even those civilizations that managed to survive became extremely radical, constantly waging wars against other universes in order to fight for their own survival.
In order to protect this universe, the Supreme God came up with a solution, which is to hide the entire universe to avoid being discovered by civilizations from other universes and to avoid being targeted by the dangers of the antimatter universe.
This universe has also been transformed and divided into different universes.
The real universe is vast and the number of planets is countless.
There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone.
The more than 3,000 people in the Green Lantern Corps looking after 3,600 sectors cannot possibly be the scale of a real universe.
The real universe was transformed by the Supreme God and his subordinates into sub-universes of different dimensions and different numbers, and these sub-universes were separated by antimatter, which is the so-called Wall of Origin.
A civilization that is unable to break the limitations of space will continue to circle in the finite yet infinite sub-universe.
Civilizations that have the ability to break through the limitations of space will see the Wall of Origin.
You can't break through the Wall of Origin, nor can you break out.
Outside the entire real universe, the Supreme God also built a barrier to completely hide the real universe.
At present, the space they are in is Universe 052, which is a small universe that has been divided.
Every functioning universe with guardians has a Green Lantern Corps.
In addition to Universe 052, there is also Universe 001, Universe 002, and so on. Even the guardians don’t know what the serial number is. Only the Supreme God knows what the final serial number is.
Some of these sequence universes have been invaded and mutated, and have become desolate and extremely dangerous, and have been isolated by isolation programs.
The power that the Supreme God possesses is unimaginable, otherwise he would not have been able to shape this small multiverse.
Every serial number universe will have those weak gods, such as the so-called gods and ancient gods.
These gods are extremely powerful to normal creatures, but the High God can wipe them out at will, resetting the area.
In a sense, the Supreme God is an omnipotent, omniscient and almighty being.
But even such an existence is terrified by those terrifying visitors from another universe.
The guardians naturally felt they were facing a powerful enemy, and they had even considered seeking help from other regions.
Otherwise, relying solely on the power of the 052nd Universe, it would be difficult to stop the opponent's wave of attacks.
Only by relying on the power of multiple sub-universes can we repel the enemy.
Otherwise, the 052 universe would most likely be abandoned directly and become one of those abandoned sequence universes, or even be reset.
"We must ask the Watcher for help." A Guardian said in a deep voice: "The power of the enemy in the alien universe is not something we can fight with our strength. The civilization that can launch an attack on other universes is enough to overwhelm us with its massive resources alone."
The real universe is extremely vast, unlike the sequential universe, which is a small area demarcated by the universe.
The diameter of a galaxy alone is enough to make life feel despair.
Even if flying at the speed of light, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to cross.
A civilization that is capable of launching an alien universe war must be a civilization that has reached a very high technological level.
Asking them to fight against such a civilization would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.
The Monitor is the cosmic manager appointed by the Supreme God. He stays in the Monitor Realm and monitors all sequence universes to ensure their smooth operation.
The Guardians are not qualified to meet the Supreme God directly, the only one they can contact is the Watcher.
Only with the permission of the Monitor can they get reinforcements from other sequence universes.
The other Guardians nodded.
No one had any objection to this.
A green light flew into the Guardian of the Universe Center from outside and landed in front of several guardians.
"Master Guardian." The light on the person who came lost, and he looked tired. It was Hal, the Green Lantern from Earth.
"Hal, what do you want?" The guardian turned off the light screen in front of him and had no intention of telling the other party about the invasion from the alien universe.
This matter is of great importance. If it causes unnecessary panic and causes the enemy to speed up, it will be very bad.
"I have received a distress message from Earth. Please allow me to return home." Hal said respectfully, "My friend needs my help."
Several guardians looked at each other.
"Then go back. We will find other Green Lanterns to complete your mission first." said a guardian.
"Thank you, Guardian." Hal stood up with a happy look on his face. He immediately activated the power of the Green Lantern Ring and flew out.
The Green Lantern Ring has the ability to fly in the antimatter universe, so it doesn't take much time for him to return to Earth.
"I'm back, Bruce, Clark." Hal felt secretly happy when he thought of his good friends.
The Guardians of the Universe watched Hal leave with solemn expressions on their faces.
They were not optimistic about the fate of this Green Lantern.
It is obvious that the forces causing chaos on Earth 052 at this time must be from other universes.
Even if you have the lantern ring, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.
The only benefit might be that it allows the guardians of the universe to see how powerful the invaders are.
... ... ..
... ... ... ...
The Constantine family's manor is full of Gothic style.
Here are stored the magic books and notes passed down from generation to generation in the family, as well as the diaries of those exorcists and their magical instruments.
At this moment, Constantine was sitting in the study, flipping through an ancient, yellowed book and reading out the words on it.
"In order to win the supernatural battle against the indigenous witches and wizards sent by the king, the founding fathers summoned a group of demons. After the success, a demon named Barbatos could not be sent back to hell because it did not belong to this world. The ancestor of the Wayne family, Jefferson, who was also one of the founding fathers, sealed the demon in Gotham City with the help of wizards."
"Barbatos cannot be killed. He is a demon that symbolizes lust and indulgence. He is always encouraging people to pursue decadence and enjoy the rest of their lives in crazy pleasure. He likes those who have dark hearts and long for twisted desires to be satisfied, and regards them as vessels."
Without exception, they all matched.
Bruce's parents were killed when he was young. After becoming Batman, he has been longing for so-called redemption.
He threw himself into darkness and stuck to his code of not killing, especially during his many fights with the Joker.
It’s not that Bruce doesn’t want to kill, but he has been suppressing his murderous intent.
He knew very well that he was a monster, and once he killed the first person, he would be on his way to becoming a monster.
The more you suppress it, the more severe the explosion will be.
The entire Bat family was wiped out, and his lover Catwoman also died.
Coupled with the negative emotions that were suppressed in the past, once it erupts, Bruce will definitely be the most terrifying villain in the history of Gotham City.
It makes sense that Barbatos would target Bruce.
It is waiting for Bruce's inner heart that has been suppressed for many years to explode, tempting this superhero who embraces the darkness to become a part of the darkness.
"I have to find some outside help. This thing in Bruce is not easy to deal with." Constantine whispered, "I hate those superheroes who like to pretend when they have nothing to do. Their hearts have long been twisted, like a suppressed powder keg. Barbatos only needs a small spark to control them."
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ...
Justice League Headquarters.
"Bruce, why don't you kill him and avenge us? Why?"
The parents stood up from the pool of blood and questioned young Bruce with ferocious faces.
"We love you so much, but you're not even willing to help us get revenge? Just for your reputation?"
"Bruce, revenge."
"Revenge, Bruce."
... ... ..
"No!"
Young Bruce screamed.
Bruce in reality also woke up suddenly, his forehead and strong body covered with sweat.
He fell into a nightmare again.
"Revenge." Bruce muttered to himself as he looked at his palms with bulging veins.
"revenge."
"revenge."
There were also harsh voices echoing in his mind, howling and screaming, drilling into every brain cell of Bruce, suppressing his nerves and playing with his memories.
A desire to kill arose in Bruce's heart, and he longed to kill all those enemies.
The sound of crushing their bones excites me.
Their wailing brings them pleasure.
Kill them.
Kill them.
"Are you okay?" Wonder Woman's voice woke Bruce up from his confusion. "You don't look well."
"I'm fine." Bruce shook his head, looked at Wonder Woman and asked, "What's the situation? Have you found Superman's whereabouts?"
"I asked the gods for help, but they were powerless. Those guys have some means to circumvent the gods' knowledge of fate," said Wonder Woman.
"Where do those guys come from? They even have such means." Bruce's tone was a little annoyed. They knew nothing about the enemy and were in a passive position from beginning to end.
