Chapter 258: Justice League

In some ways, Lex Luthor may be a jerk, but he's a jerk with an IQ that has never been seen before, and his little tricks really work. He didn't bluff www.biquge.info when his avatar appeared on the screen of the Skrull's mothership and coerced the Skrulls, the Lex Corporation had indeed released missiles around the world. The lethal nerve gas against the Skrulls was rapidly spreading along the atmosphere as they spoke, and aliens who came into contact with the gas would be paralyzed and incapacitated within five minutes, and would be completely dead in about ten minutes.

The use of bioweapons against aliens was not actually a temporary idea for Luthor, in fact, it was a record he had started preparing many years ago, but it was intended to be used against some alien wearing a red cloak and being able to go up to the sky and the earth. This is one of several filings Luthor has prepared for an emergency - dropping super-concentrated kryptonite particles around the world, filling every corner of the atmosphere with kryptonite so that Superman will have nowhere to hide, and leaving the planet will be his only way out.

This trick has not been used against Superman for the time being, but it is now used on the Skrulls, but the krypton element has been replaced with a neurotoxin, but the effect is quite good. Hidden alien spies around the world have been exposed due to neurotoxins, and the invasion has been busted. This time it is no longer just a battle to be won or lost, but a decisive victory or defeat in the war.

Of course, the Skruls are not completely defenseless against biological and chemical weapons, but in this way the Earth becomes an uninhabitable planet for them, and in itself loses the meaning of aggression.

Under such conditions, although the Skrull Empress was extremely unwilling, she also had to accept the reality that they had already lost. Before they could retreat, all the Skrull warriors withdrew from Earth, and the mothership, which was as huge as the city, was also removed from the earth's orbit. The true Avengers, as well as a large number of replaced Earthlings themselves, were all imprisoned on the mothership, and the Skrull Empress released them all on the condition that the Earth side release their captives.

This was the "secret invasion" that caused a sensation for a while, and it is not an exaggeration to say that in the end, it was Luthor who won the battle on his own. The aliens are in full retreat, but they are not dead set on it, and may one day make a comeback. And at that point, humanity will no longer be as unprepared as it was this time.

But the ending is not a happy ending. The invaders are gone, but the scars have also been left. Captain America, who was once a representative of freedom and human rights, plummeted after his speech on television, and was even dubbed a "traitor to the earth" by the untruthful media. The whole world is in the midst of war, and the demolished buildings, the shattered homes, these may all be rebuilt. But a torn trust may take longer to repair, and some parts of it may never be restored.

But at the same time, there are people who have benefited from this incident.

United States, White House.

"Are you sure? Mr. President? In the president's office, a congressman asked in surprise, "With all due respect, but you know that...... Not conformist, right? ”

"Extraordinary times are very handled." The president said lightly, "And this large-scale alien invasion, Nick Fury didn't notice it in time, and when the decisive battle was approaching, he left Aegis alone and allowed the aliens to invade in a big way, and he should have been punished more heavily." However, considering his outstanding military exploits and outstanding contributions to the United States of America, he was only removed from the post of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past. ”

The councillor shook his head and said, "I can understand this, but even so, why ......?"

"Needless to say, it's already a foregone conclusion." "I entrusted the safety of the world to Nick Fury, and he put all his hopes on the so-called 'Avengers' in costumes and see what happens to us," the president said. And now, I've finally found the right person, and he's proven that he's the perfect fit for the position......"

The office door slowly opened, and Lex Luthor, wrapped in an expensive handmade suit, stepped in with a confident smile, her bare head glittering in the light.

"Lex Luthor!" The president said, "The new head of S.H.I.E.L.D.! ”

Luthor shook hands politely with the councillor with obvious prejudice in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Councillor, I believe we will have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future." ”

The invaders destroyed a lot of things, took a lot of things, but at the same time, unintentionally, they also brought something new.

Beyond the Earth, in surface orbit.

The white shell, covered with glowing yellowish fluorescent rays of light, is a massive space station orbiting in a synchronous orbit at a speed of relative stationary speed with the Earth. The fluorescence it emits is so conspicuous in the darkness of the universe, like a beacon belonging to the earth.

"Its name is 'Watchtower.'" In the open hall of the space station, Superman enthusiastically introduced everyone gathered in this battle, "It is one of the Wayne Corporation's space research and development programs, and it was developed to be used primarily to monitor and respond to threats from the universe, just like this time." ”

Standing in the middle of the watchtower, looking at the blue earth through the window, Eric couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As a result, despite all these variables, the Justice League finally came together, and the legendary watchtower was finally completed. It's just that he never expected that he would personally participate in this historic moment.

"And then these are all Batman responsible?" After speeding around every room around the Flash, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, I've never seen anything like this...... Who is Wayne? That's too much to do as a sponsor of the fight against crime, right? ”

Superman laughed: "You'd better not guess, if you know the truth, you'll definitely ......"

He stopped talking as he realized that Batman was glaring at him with murderous eyes in the shadows of the hall.

Batman began to think that it was a stupid mistake to let this guy know who he really was.

"Yes, impressive." Green Lantern clasped his hands over his chest and said, "But what does this have to do with us?" This time it's an emergency, we've gathered together and defeated the enemy, and then it's time for us to go back to our respective homes, right? ”

"That's what I'm trying to say this time." Superman said solemnly, "At first, I naively thought that I could change the world on my own, so I accepted the proposal of the United Nations......"

He paused, then turned to Batman: "By the way, you're right, that's a stupid thing to do. ”

"I've always been right." Batman said lightly.

"So now, I realize I was wrong." He continued, "I think after this incident, all of us have also discovered that we have limited ability to go it alone, but together...... We can make a difference. ”

"Sounds like a great idea." The green light shrugged, "But did I mention it?" I already have a team, it's called the Green Lantern Corps, and the universe is under their control. By the way, this sector, including the Earth, is under my control. ”

"But joining the team will keep the U.S. Air Force from bothering you." Batman reminded.

Green Lantern was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment: "Hmm...... You have a point, too. ”

"It's not that bad." The Flash patted Green Light on the shoulder, "Anyway, I'm joining." ”

Green Light smiled: "Okay, then I'll join in too." ”

Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter also took a stand, and several people's eyes immediately turned to Batman.

"I'm not good at dealing with people." Batman said, pausing, and then said, "But if you need meβ€”and you doβ€”just come to me." ”

In fact, he also had part of his idea for the formation of this team, otherwise he would not have spent money on the construction of the watchtower. Since the formation of the Avengers, Batman has not been very optimistic about that alliance, and after the Skrull incident, he believes that another alliance independent of government regulation is necessary.

But at the same time, such a force that is free from control is extremely dangerous and needs to be supervised at all times.

And that person was himself.

Superman nodded, then asked Eric and Raven, "What about the two of you?" ”

Raven turned to Eric without saying a word, and his attitude was clearβ€”if he joined, I would join.

Eric pondered for a moment and smiled.

"Sure enough, I still ...... Forget it, anyway, we're still underage. ”

Well, actually, that's just an excuse. However, for the same reason as when he didn't join the Avengers, Eric's principle is to only care about what he sees and what he can, and joining the Justice League to fight fires in the world every day is not what he wants to do.

"Still, like this guy, if you need my help...... Anytime. Eric glanced at Batman and smiled, "Anyway, everyone is also a comrade-in-arms." ”

"Speaking of which, we'd better need a team name, right?" The Flash asked, "So what should we call it?" The 'Fantastic Seven'? ”

Superman smiled slightly: "It's more like- 'Justice League'." ”
