Chapter 229: Under the Shadows (Part 2)
Although he is a full-fledged substitute for a native of the plane. But just by setting up a cutting-edge lab ten years ahead of schedule, you can imagine how much impact he had on the world. Unconsciously, he had already regarded Lin Xuan as a variable under his butterfly effect. He even suspected that Lin Xuan might be like him, a traverser from the future. In the future, he did not deal with the Justice League. Most of the time, he was racing against the Flash. But at that time, the past identities of some members of the Justice League were still circulating in some specific areas.
Harrison, for example, knew that the woman known as Wonder Woman was supposed to be a well-known antique dealer during this time period. Batman is the eldest young master of Wayne Enterprise, Bruce Wayne. Green Arrow is the heir to Quinn's business. But wizards weren't supposed to exist. Harrison felt a little lost.
The Battle of the Metropolis is a shock. When the human race on the entire earth is still fighting openly and secretly around a few oil fields. Aliens just appeared out of nowhere. Unlike the group of exiles of General Zod at the beginning, it is not a monster with no intelligence and only knows destruction like Doom Day. This time, it's a whole super-alien force. An aggressive group with a highly developed civilization, a complete military system, and unimaginable technology.
The space passage across the universe directly killed all the rapid reaction forces in seconds. The transcendent beings of the gods have made all modern weapons meaningless. The most important thing is that the other party has no intention of communicating at all. The bearer is pure malice and has destruction as its sole goal. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to politicians on the planet who are accustomed to negotiating compromises.
For them, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated. But the opponent looked at them with the same eyes as ants. People don't negotiate with ants, let alone gods.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they won this battle. Not by the military, not by nuclear weapons. It's a group of superpowered people in fancy costumes who save the planet. Of course, there are also countless American GIs fighting on the front line. But there is no doubt that there are no strong individuals who are not like mortals. Earth estimation is a thing of the past.
Superheroes have always been there. In fact, the U.S. government holds almost all of the superhero profile. But they never took it to heart. It's just a bunch of fools who have no strategy. There is no strength, but they are played with between applause. Even Superman, who is as strong as a god, is cornered by a wealthy man who is not an official person, Lex Luthor.
The top of the government, the deeper state controllers who are hidden behind the government, have never looked up to superheroes. They control the vast majority of their resources, and they can easily push any superhero to a dead end with just a few words. They don't even need to make any moves, they just need to relax a little bit of some kind of standard, and countless people are rushing to carry out their will.
Doom Day Time gave everyone a warning, but soon they were back to their original ways. Because they found the "weakness of the Day of Destruction". This monster, based on the genetic samples of Kryptonians, is subject to the same restraint as Kryptonite, just like Superman. So they thought that even if there were no Superman and the others at the beginning, they would have been able to kill Doom Day. The difference is just the loss of one or two more cities.
But this time, the overwhelming army of demons. A transcendent entity that is more than one notch stronger than Doom Day. The momentum of destroying everything made these old guys hiding in the underground safe house feel terrified.
This is not an opponent that can be stopped by negotiation, this is not a beast with no power but no brain, and it is not a superhero with power but follows the tenets of the world. This is the intruder, the intruder who never stops dying. They have incredible technology and an endless army. Even god-like individuals.
In a secret secret room, more than a dozen old people over half a hundred years old are holding a secret meeting. These people are the ones behind the scenes. Those hidden families, super conglomerates, multinational corporations. All resource allocation is ultimately decided by these people. Even the president of the United States is called the most powerful position on the planet. It's just the spokesperson they launched.
The vast majority of cases they use holographic projections for meetings. But this time, because of the special situation, the entire Dark Council was all present. Discuss the future of your family, your country, and the world.
Of all the active members, there are two that are the most special. One of them is Amanda Waller, the senior commander of the Celestial Eye Society. Specialized in supernatural things, and is also the most familiar with superheroes. The other was even more surprising, because it was Lex Luthor.
Amanda Waller was a little reserved. Although she would be an absolute hardliner in the Sky Eye. Collect the weaknesses of the superheroes at all costs and try to control them all. In fact, more than once she wanted to enforce a law similar to the Superhero Registration Act. Trying to completely remove all superhero masks. Let them be instruments of the government.
But on this occasion, her identity is obviously not enough. Although none of the people who sat down any longer held actual government positions. But any of them moved their lips, let alone Amanda, and even the Heavenly Eye Society might not be able to carry it. Therefore, all of Amanda's aggressiveness and aggressiveness were all reined in, and she perfectly performed the posture of a small government clerk meeting a big man.
This is the inferiority in the bones of people like Amanda. When the supercriminals appeared, she hid and waited for the superheroes to save her. Afterwards, wait to receive the credit. Then he turned around and used the resources of the Sky Eye Society to track down Super Yongxiong and study their weaknesses. Trying to control them, or even hurt them.
It's strange, isn't it, Tianyan will have such strong resources, can't handle a Bane running around with a tin can, can't handle a crazy clown, can't handle a so-called black boss penguin?
Of course. But that's dangerous. Perverted, madman, gangster with heavy weapons. How many resources it takes to deal with them, how many direct physical confrontations you have to face. Who wants to fight these crazy people? Anyway, there are those fools with masks rushing ahead. When the time comes, you just have to wait to receive the credit.
As for the tens of billions of funds and resources of the Tianyan Society. It's simple, those who wear masks are overstepping their authority. Grab it as you like, hit it as you like. They're not going to fight back anyway. You can catch it as much as you want. Safe, environmentally friendly and pollution-free. If you can't catch it, apply for more funding. If you catch it, you will be promoted and make a fortune. Some of the people on it don't like the masked men. Because they always steal the limelight from them. As for the masked man, who cares about those super criminals? What does that have to do with me, Lao Tzu will have been promoted by then. Sitting in the office and giving orders, it must be someone below who is behind you.
These are the people who fear the darkness and trample on the light.
