Chapter 196: Confrontation Under the Undercurrent!

Bang!

Superman threw his fist and unleashed a sonic boom, knocking the telekinesis-protected Manchester into the nation's capital.

Even at this point, Superman did not attack Manchester with all his might, and in order not to harm the innocent citizens, he also beat all the people of the British League to uninhabited farms.

Just as a big battle was about to break out between the two sides, Superman heard Ian's voice: "Clark, stop!" ”

"But......" Superman thought of the thousands of soldiers who had been killed, and did not want to spare the people of the Extreme British League no matter what.

Ian sighed, if it were him, he would not hesitate to kill the people of the Extreme British Alliance, and then put the country in order.

But Clark can neither kill nor control the internal affairs of a strange country, and in the end he can only end up in a dilemma.

"What are you going to do after you catch them?"

Ian questioned him calmly and logically.

Superman rightfully replied, "Let them be judged, of course, and then punished accordingly!" ”

"Whose judgment will you accept? The government of Bodo, or the courts of the United States? ”

Ian's words hit the weak point of Superman's logic.

For the legal system to function, it must go through people, it does not work on its own.

The upper echelons of the government in Bodoco have been wiped out by the Ultra-British Alliance, and there is no way to organize the corresponding legal framework.

What is the basis for handing people over to the US courts? The Yankees' hand can be stretched that long, and they will not do it openly.

What Ian didn't say was that Amanda Waller was behind this matter, and if they didn't deal with these people first, no matter how good their intentions were, they would promote them as bad things.

"I'm not going to let this go!"

Superman is persuaded by Ian, who throws such words at Manchester and flies out of the atmosphere.

Manchester's forces couldn't break through Superman's full-fledged force field, and they didn't know what was happening in between.

But when Superman leaves, he still assumes the posture of a Holy Father through various cameras and announces to the whole world.

"Let's all join the Extreme British Alliance!"

……

"I can't believe you're just letting a madman talk nonsense!"

Superman flies into Black Zero, scurries to Ian, and contributes his grievances to him.

"And what are you going to do?" Ian was as steady as a mountain, and he asked softly, "Catch them and hand them over to the U.S. government, and Superman will become a lackey of the United States, and people from other countries will no longer trust you."

Punishing the Extreme British Coalition himself, even in the lightest gear, is tantamount to declaring to the whole world that Superman is not prepared to obey the existing laws. ”

The two possibilities that Ian speculated made the menacing Superman wilt in an instant.

He sat down in his chair, bowed his head, and said, "When facing the army, I once remembered what you said to me. Maybe I should have been a little more resolute and just take down those people. ”

The cheers of the citizens of the capital of Bodo still echo in Superman's ears, making him feel a wave of loss.

"No!"

Ian looked at the depressed Superman and encouraged him, saying, "There's nothing wrong with not wanting to kill, and there's nothing wrong with not wanting war." There are many ways to pursue your goals, and as long as you can stand your ground, the means to achieve them don't really matter. ”

"What are you going to do with them?"

Clark digressed the subject, and Ian saw that he hadn't addressed the question, but he hadn't brought it up, and replied, "Do nothing!" ”

Clark didn't ask, waiting for a reasonable answer.

"The British League are children, even though they violently crush the army. But it underestimates the complexity of how society works. ”

Ian touched his chin and said, "Even though they look like flowers and fire cooking oil now, it's just an illusion. Soon, the divergence of interests in reality will divide them. ”

Clarke's brow furrowed, he wanted to ask.

But Ian never mentioned it, he can't say that he deliberately ignored the growth of the Bracket Britain, just to see how the countries that dominate the current international order react!

Clark wouldn't take it.

Ian himself never felt that there was anything wrong with calculating others, but Clark couldn't accept it, and he wouldn't let him touch it.

……

While Ian deliberately indulges the growth of the Extreme British League, Amanda Waller is in trouble.

On the government side, the White House has expressed outrage at the ultra-British action, and has ordered Amanda Waller, who endorses Manchester, to resolve the matter.

Savage, on the other hand, was unhappy with the destruction of his research base, and asked Amanda Waller to capture more transhumans as soon as possible.

Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror - Amanda Waller, who is not a human inside and out, has no choice, the eye of the sky will be split by Steve Tremor, and there are not many people available under her hands.

And the biggest source of Suicide Squad members, Gotham Black Gate Prison and Arkham Asylum, is empty under the iron fist of Bruce Wayne.

It's not that Gotham was left without criminals overnight.

Instead, at Ian's suggestion, criminals in their right heads were dragged to labor camps, like Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Killer Crocodile, Death Shooter, Mudface, and Kite Man, all of whom were mixed up as model workers on the construction site, ready to return to normal citizen life.

They have a cramp in their heads, so they will let go of their good life and go to work as dogs under Amanda Waller.

In desperation, Waller had no choice but to find Luthor again.

The two met at the top of the Lex Group.

Waller complained, "I really don't understand how Superman could have spared the Extreme Heroes who had killed thousands, which would never have happened given his jealous and hateful nature." ”

Luthor's bald head brightened a little, and he said with full confidence: "It looks like a mature Superman, although he is a large boy scout, but you don't forget that he also has two friends, Ian and Batman." ”

"These two people are very skilled, and they look far away, how can they not find out that Blake, a conceited fool, is connected to us."

Waller's gaze deepened, she turned her glass, and whispered, "What two troublesome people! In that case, we can't do anything to Superman. ”

"Of course not, Ian and Batman are in big trouble, and they can't be around Superman all day to protect the big boy."

Luthor whispered, "And, even if they're together all day, doesn't Superman have friends of his own?" ”

When he said this, he was silent.

Waller suddenly realized, as if he had thought of something, and nodded.

But she didn't forget the purpose of her visit, and asked, "Dealing with Superman is only a secondary target, what should Blake do?" We can't just watch him control a country at will. ”

"And there's a mission from Savage, right?"

Luthor sat down in his place, looking like a high emperor, looking at Waller.

Waller was stared at uncomfortably, and retorted, "We're allies. ”

"Yes, yes!" The shadow covered Luther's face, and he nodded lightly, "Then I'll give you an idea, you can pretend to cooperate with the Extreme British Alliance and go to Bodo to arrest people." As long as there are enough children who have disappeared, and then it is revealed that this matter is related to Blake, it can directly destroy him. ”

"That's a good idea, but what if Blake goes crazy?"

"With our 'superheroes' on your back, what are you afraid of?"

Luthor deliberately put an accent on the four words superhero, which resonated with Waller.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, and they reached a tacit understanding, and Waller left the place satisfied.

"Are people in your world so different?"

A skull suddenly appeared on the screen in front of Luthor, and an electronically synthesized sound could be heard from within.

"This is humanity, Mr. Brainac!"

Luther leaned back in his leather chair and looked at the mechanical lifeform in front of him.

About a month ago, the Lex Syndicate's systems were hacked, and Luthor resisted with great difficulty, but eventually failed due to hardware problems, and then met Brainiac, a friendly intelligent life form that claimed to be from the universe.

Luthor spoke to him vigilantly, without revealing anything.

Brainiac's electronic apparition voiced, "A very peculiar race indeed. ”

"What's new that you've brought with you this time?" Luthor had no intention of discussing the nature of humanity with this strange being, and he changed the subject.

"Oh, maybe I can explain to you the technology that detects superhuman genetic machines!"

Luthor's eyes flashed with a twinkle that he feared it was a trap, but the conceit of genius made him feel that he could take the bait perfectly and not be harmed by the trap.

He took out a machine and put it on the table, deliberately saying, "All I know is that the technology used in this thing does not belong to the earth. ”

"Of course, you're a smart human, Mr. Luther!"

Brainiac's Phantom released the Phantom Scanner and said, "Because this technology comes from the Apocalypse!" ”

"Apocalypse?" Luther looked suspicious, and asked, "I haven't heard of that place." ”

"Of course you haven't heard that the Apocalypse belongs to the New Gods, the domain of the Dark Lord, Darkseid. All the worlds targeted by Darkseid eventually turned into cosmic ashes in flames. ”

Brainiac also did not expect that he would actually see the technology of the Apocalypse on a backward and primitive planet.

"I can help you resist the invasion of the Apocalypse."

The apparition of Brainiac extended an olive branch, saying: "With the backwardness of this planet, there are only destroyed structures in front of the Apocalypse. But if you accept my technology, everything will be different. ”

"What do you want?"

Luthor wasn't sure if the mechanical lifeform was telling the truth, but he didn't say no outright.

He said: "I don't believe that there is a free lunch in this world, you must come to this world for something." ”

"You're a smart man!"

The apparition of Brainiac disguised himself in a cold electronic voice, saying, "I walk the universe for the sole purpose of gathering information and seeking knowledge.

If this world can survive the iron heel of the Apocalypse, I will record all the information about this planet. ”

"I need time to think about it!"

Luthor gave a vague result.

"I'm waiting for your answer." Brainiac's apparition left.

Luthor turned to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window, taking in the entire Metropolis in his eyes, silently contemplating.

At this time, he caught a glimpse of a red shadow flashing from the sky, and his hands instantly clenched into fists.

……

"Long time no see, Miss Waller!"

Manchester looked at Waller in the video and whistled relaxedly.

"I didn't expect you to come to me again, I thought you had listed me as a terrorist."

"Do you think you're any different from a terrorist?"

Waller's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "You killed thousands of people and ruined the government of a country. If that's not terrorism, I don't know anyone in the world who is still a terrorist. ”

"Oh, I'm here for the pursuit of justice." Manchester gave Waller a disdainful glance and showed him his victory.

"Obviously, your justice is not the same as Superman's."

Waller smiled slightly, straight to the point, she said: "In the eyes of the world, supertalents are the representatives of love and justice, and you are just a bunch of crazy people. ”

"Say what you want to say, have fun!"

Hearing Superman's name, Manchester still felt uncomfortable in his heart, although he knew that Waller was provoking himself.

"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and although you are not a good thing, Superman is a greater threat to us because he operates in the United States."

Waller's use of the United States to talk about things has put a shield on his own behavior.

"When we solve Superman's biggest problem together, it's not too late to divide the winner."

Waller's eloquence was indeed good, and she managed to arouse Manchester's sense of victory.

"Moreover, you don't need to defeat him, just prove to the whole world that his principles are a joke and ruin Superman."

When it came to the most critical moment, Waller suddenly shut up and stopped spitting out a word.

Old fox!

Manchester cursed in his heart and asked Waller, "What do you want?" ”

Waller added fuel to the fire to blow the genetic testing program into the sky, and then put forward the demand to be implemented in Bodo.

Manchester was wary of the old fox, saying: "Yes, but all machines have to be checked." ”

"Of course."

Waller smiled with satisfaction, and then gave Manchester the network of superhuman connections she had investigated.

"You're such a goddamn bastard!"

Manchester looked at the information in his hand and scolded Waller.

"It's your own business, I've done my job anyway."

Waller, like the serpent that tempted Adam and Eve, tempted Manchester and said, "Superman's prestige grows day by day, if you don't do anything." Soon, the League will be forgotten. ”

There are still few crazy people in this world, and although killing people seems cool, it is still Superman who is more popular with those who already live in order.

"I know what I have to do." Manchester's eyes flashed with blue-black thought.

……

Gotham.

Ian found Bruce and told him, "I need to find an undercover agent and put them in the Extreme British League to make sure things don't get out of hand." Do you have any people you would like to recommend? ”

Bruce finished processing the papers in his hand, handed them to the secretary, and replied, "I really have one here, but you have to tell me what to do to the British Alliance first?" ”

"It's not what I'm going to do, it's what I'm going to do."

"I'm worried that these guys are going crazy and doing something out of control, so I want to keep an eye on them and watch their every move," Ian said. ”

Bruce nodded: "This person is Jason, he is serving a prison sentence and labor camp, you can go find him yourself!" ”
