68. You must not have thought of the reason why Luthor chose to build the Legion of Doom
"Buzz"
The speed of the force broke through the dimensional obstruction, quietly opening a revolving door in the crime alley of Gotham City.
Xiao Shan was the first to run out, a little out of breath, holding his knees and retching a few times.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't feel tired from running, but took the initiative to ask to see the speed machine made by the Isu Hermes, and the result of this insight was Barry Allen's rare run to the point of detachment.
The Isu machine was very good, and what was even more rare was that the other party's understanding of the concepts of time and speed was an eye-opener for the speedy people.
He felt like he had learned something again today, yes!
Mason and Ms. Kassandra, who was dragging her suitcase and carrying hot tea, walked out of the portal slowly, and was about to introduce her to the city when she heard a gunshot from the street.
All right.
It's a daily routine in Gotham City.
"You're busy."
Sister Ka took a sip of tea, dragged her suitcase and walked towards the alley at the other end, she said as she walked:
"I don't need a guide or a specially arranged meeting, I observe the world in my own way, and this city that exudes a depraved atmosphere reminds me of Pompeii in the past.
I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun here. ”
"I'm going to have to find a place for you to stay, it's easy to have a newcomer running around Gotham, and even staying in a hotel in this city is very risky.
Especially a lone woman like you. ”
Mason pursed his lips, took out a VIP card from the afterlife bar and threw it over, he reminded Sister Ka:
"This bar is our base of operations, and the gangsters in the city don't move casually, there are some of our people in it."
"Understood."
Kassandra took the card and waved her hand at Mason, and as soon as she turned around, she disappeared, presumably activating a special ability of some Isu bloodline and entering a state of invisibility in broad daylight.
"Are you really of the same bloodline as this powerful big sister?"
The recovered flash looked Mason up and down, flashed to clean up the gang of gangsters who were on fire at the corner of the street, and got himself a pizza and milkshake, and when he returned to Mason, he began to complain:
"Lady Kassandra can do almost everything with Isu blood, but you're a lot worse."
"Nonsense, people have lived for more than 2,000 years, and I'm only 18 years old this year."
Mason rolled his eyes, picked up a slice from Little Flash's pizza box, rolled it up and put it in his mouth, and said to him:
"When I'm full, open the door and go home, there's a lot of work to do at Osborne."
As he spoke, another hint appeared on the character card in front of Mason's eyes, and his tailoring and jewelry processing skills had been upgraded to another level, and it seemed that the members of Mason's manufacturing team were not lazy.
While Xiao Shen was eating and drinking, Mason looked at his character card.
His current character information is staggered, and it is very comfortable to watch, much better than the previous tabula rasa posture.
The most important thing is that because of the work of the "Mason Manufacturing Group" day and night, he finally has no obvious shortcomings, and finally realizes the all-round development of the legendary "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor".
Although only the three skills of alchemy, engineering, and first aid have entered the master realm now, he feels that if he gives the "Mason Manufacturing Team" some more time, he will soon be able to become a full-class master.
"Mason, did you say that all the undercover agents in our world have been caught?"
Xiao Shan, who drank the last sip of the milkshake, suddenly asked, the expression under his mask was a little worried, obviously he also had his own answer in his heart, and Mason didn't even bother to answer this question.
He lit a cigarette, spat out a smoke ring in Crime Alley and said:
"As I said, the existence of the Awakened is a social problem of the whole universe.
As long as there are losers and unsatisfactory people in a world, then the number of people who voluntarily surrender in the face of big things must not be small.
Don't be under the illusion that all the scum will be cleaned up, Barry, you see the lord never thinks things are so good.
If you want me to say, at this very moment, maybe those bastards who have secretly been in a meeting with the stars are hiding somewhere in a meeting to discuss how to kill us.
Their methods will only be crazier and less limitless than the Stars Society, after all, as we all know, the two devils are always more ferocious.
Okay, let's go, instead of spending time worrying about what they can do, it's better to improve yourself more, your cosmic treadmill will continue to be modified, and you will have to find a way to make a semi-permanent space-time tunnel before the big war begins. ”
"Got it."
Barry nodded, and took another running pose in the alley, and the next moment the tunnel to Osborne Tower was opened again.
Mason took one last look at Gotham, dropped his cigarette butt and strode inside.
——
Mason's speculation about traitors and the two devils is completely correct.
Although their previous actions in Kandak destroyed the Green Church of Everything and successfully defeated Black Adam, who had defected to the enemy, it did not affect the "capitulationist forces" of the world much.
At the same time as Mason returned to Osborne Tower, the third meeting of the Legion of Doom was taking place as scheduled in a large natural park in a large natural park next to the Metropolitan City Circle in Superman's absence, in a secret place in the swampy terrain area.
The reason for this name is partly because this secret society was indeed established because of the apocalyptic situation, and on the other hand, the name also represents the identity of the members of the organization.
A group of supervillains who want to overthrow the existing order, a group of thugs who want to see a righteous end, a group of bastards who are at odds with superheroes.
They thought it would be very impressive to add the word "DOOM" to the group's name.
Well, that's right, the name was voted on internally, which is too much.
Lex Luthor, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, is standing in front of a lookout window at the headquarters of the Doomsday Army with his hands behind his back, the headquarters made of special technology so that the outside world cannot be monitored, and their activities inside can be effectively protected.
But Lai's mood was not as unwavering as his cold expression at this time.
He's going to be in a bad mood.
Not only because the superhuman kidnapping plan from him failed completely, but also because Lai Bald just filed for bankruptcy yesterday.
His Lex Group fell into a vicious circle because of the rupture of the capital chain, and finally chose to close down after struggling to support it for more than half a month, and the high-quality assets under his command have been jointly divided between the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group.
He is a villain with a strong sense of morality, and he almost went out of the house after spending the last bit of money on severance pay for employees, but fortunately, Lai Bald still has a semi-secret identity of a villain under the identity of a conscientious entrepreneur.
Right now, the ownership of the secret base he was in was his.
So look at the people who are bald, even if they are bankrupt, they are still one of the richest people in the world.
"You look like you're in a bad mood, Luther."
A coquettish voice with a hint of danger sounded behind Laibald, and a tall villain lady wearing a "leopard print" bodysuit, full of some kind of strange temptation, but in fact there was a cheetah-headed, appeared quietly around the corner with cat steps.
She wagged her tail close to Luther, and said with a hint of defiance and sarcasm:
"What? Hasn't the thief who stole your entire net worth been caught yet? ”
"How?"
Luthor said angrily:
"He didn't even use any hacking procedures, he logged into several of my bank accounts according to the normal process, entered the correct passwords, passed several layers of encryption including fingerprints, iris and even DNA tests, and transferred my property to another account in my name in a matter of minutes.
All operations are in accordance with the law, all operations are carried out without any cats, and the most perfect theft is carried out in this most ordinary way.
Do you know what this means? ”
Lai bald narrowed his eyes and said:
"Either I went crazy and fell for telecom fraud and handed over my money to a group of scammers.
Either I transferred my own money and deposited it in my name, and the money is still mine, and it's still in the bank, and it's not stolen by anyone.
If I can take them out. ”
"You say this as if you've gone crazy."
The leopard girl pursed her lips.
She wrapped her tail around Lybald's wrist and said:
"But you're still sober, so I guess, you already know what's going on, right? If the leader of the secret society I just joined was a hopeless madman, I would be desperate. ”
"Hmph, of course I know why."
Lai Bald stared at himself reflected in the mirror in front of him, and under his bare head was the face of a slightly tired middle-aged man, he shook off the tail of the leopard girl on his wrist and whispered:
"Someone brought out another me from another world, and another Luthor launched a shameless sneak attack on me, and he stole my success and my status and my wealth.
He thought he would break me!
He didn't think about it!
They don't think about it!
I'll take the things back one by one. It's ridiculous! Who would have thought that one of the reasons why Lex Luthor was forced to form the Legion of Doom would be because of bankruptcy and destituteness?
Have you all arrived? ”
Luther asked casually, and the Leopard Girl nodded, saying:
"It's all here, including the representatives of the Sky Eye Society."
"Good."
With a sinister smile on his face, he reached out and straightened his collar, and returned with the Leopard Girl to the Legion of Doom's chamber beneath the ground.
This dimly lit place is very much in line with the temperament of the villains, the overall lighting is dim but not too dark, allowing people to see the side faces of the participants and the heavy shadows wrapped around their faces and bodies.
But there are no external forces here!
The people sitting here are all the supervillains of this world, and they are all the famous ones, not second- or third-rate small fish and shrimp.
Luthor stood on the throne and looked around.
On his left sat the Leopard Girl, the Gorilla Grude, the Dreaded Yellow Light Senisto, the Cathargic Black Manta Ray, and the last mysterious man in makeup.
This is the representative of the Celestial Eye Society, the messenger of Amanda Waller.
However, the seats around the round table were not filled, and several chairs awaited their owners.
"Guys, let's discuss the next course of action."
Luthor didn't go on a tirade, he knocked on the table and said to his handpicked leaders and villains who were capable and tactically minded:
"Your Excellency Warlock's messenger has just left our world, and he has announced to us that an apocalyptic operation is about to begin in the near future, and I have informed you of everything that is about to happen to this world, and this is another option!
We are not evil."
Luthor paused, and in the darkness he said:
"We just don't believe that leaving everything to the Justice League is the right choice, and that we are part of the world and naturally have the right to choose our future.
Now that the skeleton of the Legion of Doom has been built, the next thing to do is to expand rapidly, I have a plan to help us pick the right members of the Order, and I have decided to execute it in three days.
We're heading to Gotham! ”
Luthor reached out and turned on a holographic projection, spinning a map of Gotham City on his desk, marking Arkham Asylum with a red imprint.
He said:
"We can always find like-minded partners in this worst place, and the only regret is that the most dazzling prince of crime has fallen.
But that's okay, we have a lot of alternatives.
Unleash them!
Announce to them the existence of the Legion of Doom and tell them that there are still a few leadership seats left for them, and that they also have their own tasks that must be completed to be eligible to join us. ”
"That's what you're calling us here for?"
The Lamp of Dread, Sinisto, sneered, the alien felt that he was wasting his time, and in his yellow suit he said:
"You told me there were two Green Lanterns on Earth, and I came here across the starry sea, Luther! What you are saying now is very different from what you proclaimed.
If you need minions, the Yellow Lantern Legion has the Lamp Heroes to work for you! But I don't want to waste any more time. ”
"Calm down, my Lord of Fear."
Luthor smiled, he coughed, glanced at the messenger of the Heavenly Eye Society, and said:
"Releasing Arkham's prisoners is just a cover-up, our real target in Gotham is the agent of the Corrupt Black Power, and it's hiding there.
You have seen the power of the green of all things and the red of all things before, and I am confident that the host of the black of decay will not disappoint us either.
Be patient, Lord Senisto.
I assure you that after this operation, you will see a land of war and fear, and I promise you that you will never return empty-handed! ”
As he spoke, Luthor released a footage he had just captured, in which two Green Lanterns in very different costumes were working together to rescue a burning building in Seaside City.
And when the Lord of the Yellow Lantern of Fear saw the Green Lantern in the armor of will, his eyes bloomed with a chilling light, and he stroked his little goat's whiskers, and said:
"Very well, I'm looking forward to pouring fear into the mind of this new strange friend, and I have a feeling that his presence will give me hope of defeating the Green Lantern Corps."
"It's you at the end!"
Luthor calmed his teammates, looked up at the messenger directly opposite him, and said bluntly in a very faceless manner:
"Go back and tell Amanda Waller that the Skrulls she's charge of have failed in their infiltration operations in this world, and that all the remaining green-skinned bastards aliens are missing except for those who were decapitated by the Assassins.
It's a terrible hidden danger, and I need her to give me an explanation!
In addition, prepare enough suicide squads, we will be very, very busy in the future, and we will not refuse high-quality cannon fodder from the Sky Eye Society. ”
"I'll bring your words."
Amanda Waller's messenger nodded, and then asked:
"But Waller has a question for you, Luther, who are the secret members of the Doomsday Legion besides the newly dead swamp monster and the missing Black Adam?
She knew we were more than just that. ”
"Then please tell her."
Luthor patted the table and said:
"Listening to too many secrets is bad for her health! She will know when she should know, and don't say that I don't respect her, I respect any valuable life.
But if you want to earn my respect, you must first show enough value.
I need drawings and parameters for the watchtower station, I've been waiting for a week, I don't want to wait any longer, I'll give you another week.
If I can't see that drawing yet, then I'm sorry."
Lai bald snorted, and amid the sneers of the other villains, he said:
"There is no place for you on the ark of the Doomsday Legion sailing to the other side!"
