Chapter 207: The Aftermath and the Beginning (Please read it at the beginning of the month!) )
[Template: Huolinfei]
[A super beast warrior from Earth, a legendary super genius, his mantra is "In front of me, the enemy will either run away or be defeated."] 】
[Trait: Undefeated Will (The height of the fountain will not exceed his source, and the alien energy of the Ultra Beast Warrior will not exceed his will.] And Huo Linfei's will has no end, and his alien energy is endless. )
Poisonous Tongue (Huo Linfei's mouth is his most hurtful weapon.) )】
"Now my Ability Lock will come in handy!"
Ian looked at the new template, expecting a new power.
He hung up the template of Huo Lin Fei, and held the ability lock that he had drawn not long ago, and the fiery red energy poured out from the palm of his hand, dyeing it into a red unicorn pattern.
It is strange to say that although the source of the alien energy in the super beast world is the will of people, the types of ability locks are divided according to the races of the green dragon and white dragon, the golden elephant whale shark, and the lion tiger wolf.
Ian's nature is not part of the Beast World, so he is not subject to this rule, as the Ability Lock senses that Firefly's template has changed.
And he had just solved a big problem, and his mind suddenly relaxed, and there was no fanfare to experiment with new powers.
I felt a strange new energy! ’
Once again, the metal spirits communicated with Ian, their root forces rejecting anything else from entering their world.
Animals and Plants, Life and Death...... The same goes for the Metal Spirit, except that he makes an exception for Ian.
"It's just a little trick." The five fingers of Ian's right hand flipped like a butterfly, and the crimson ability locked in his hand tossed and turned.
He didn't talk about the alien energy, only said, "You can digest Brainac's legacy with peace of mind!" Be careful, sift through the data, and don't let that guy take advantage of it. ”
'Hasn't that guy been wiped out by you?' ’
The Metal Spirit trusted Ian and had the slightest belief that Brainiac would survive his men.
Ian opened his mouth and admitted calmly, "I did erase Brainiac's presence in the skeleton ship, but he has other backups in the universe. If that guy really has something left behind and comes back in the future, then it's going to be troublesome. ”
The Metal Spirit said he would scrutinize everything in the data to make sure it wasn't exploited by Brainiac.
"Remember to give me a copy of his technology."
With these words, Ian put away the ability lock and left the metal world.
When he left, the metal world returned to the coldness of metal, and the sea of endless data that poured in from the real earth analyzed and dismantled the skeleton ship.
And in the new world of metal and data, there is also a new life being born, which is the inheritance of the will of the metal spirit.
……
"The matter has been settled!"
Ian jumped out of the hole he had spewed out of the dragon.
The superheroes who were looking into the cave were startled by Ian, who suddenly appeared, and Batman stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What is the final outcome of Brainiac?" ”
When he saw Ian appear intact, he knew that Brainiac was finished, and the sane Batman immediately began to think about the aftermath of the war.
Ian controls the power of the earth spirits around him through the Five Spirit Locks, filling the gaps in the gaps he has created and leading to the metal world.
"Everything in Brainiac has been swallowed up by the metal spirit, and when he digests that knowledge, he will give us a copy."
Ian only remembered now that the perverted AI had a penchant for shrinking cities into special figurines.
But he recalled the whole battle, and did not find any special life in the spaceship, which is also a blessing in misfortune, if Kando City was really brought to Earth, Ian really didn't know what to do with those Kryptonians.
Seeing that Ian was in a daze, Batman waved his hand and whispered to him, "Don't pretend to be stupid, do you know what I mean?" We got together and fended off the alien invasion in front of the whole world, do you think the people in the government will honestly accept this outcome? ”
"What if they don't accept it?"
Half of the metropolis was white, the remaining half was in ruins, and there were no living people but Ian.
So he said unabashedly: "Brainiac sent a message into the universe, revealing the location of the Earth. If the bureaucrats in the government feel that they can protect the planet on their own and insist on going their own way, I don't mind dealing with some beasts before facing the real enemy. ”
Ian's unabashed attitude makes it a little uncomfortable for a person like Flash to be orderly and kind, and for Green Arrow to be orderly and neutral.
But Batman, they're already familiar with Ian's claims, so it's not surprising to be there.
"But the bureaucrats in the government wouldn't have clashed with us if they had a little brain, at least not now."
Ian spread his hands and said, "As long as they don't get into trouble first, I'm willing to keep it as it is." These robots are also whatever they want. ”
Although Brainiac's back-hand programs have almost destroyed the systems of these robots, the alloys used to make these robots, the energy required for their activities, and the programs are all valuable.
Rong En said in a deep voice, "Those people don't think you're generous, they just think that you took away the skeleton spaceship that should have belonged to them. ”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and said, "There will be no shortage of people who are not clear-headed, and we can only use practical actions to dispel their greed." ”
From the invasion of Brainiac to the end, it was Ian who worked desperately throughout the whole process, and although the American army participated in the battle, it was also a marginal role in playing soy sauce.
Even in the work of transferring citizens, it is the Flash who has the speed of power and Rachel who has mastered magic to make a big difference.
The Flash looked at the scene where Ian and Batman were talking, scratched his head and said, "What am I missing, how do you feel that Ian has changed so much?" ”
Ian glanced at Barry, ignored his question, and said, "We're going to talk about the rebuilding of the Metropolis next, and if you don't want to get involved, go to Catelyn and talk to them about it, and get someone else who is familiar with these things." ”
The Metropolis was devastated by the fighting of Ian and Brainiac, tens of millions of people were left homeless, and reconstruction was imminent.
Barry touched his head and asked, puzzled, "But isn't it the government's business to rebuild?" Is it really good for us to meddle, and how do you meddle? ”
"I don't understand!"
Ian hooked Barry's shoulder and said, "Metropolitan redevelopment is a bottomless pit project that requires crazy money to be poured into it, and the government has to fight for a year and a half over the budget. And these things still have to be outsourced to private companies. ”
"And in front of you stand the CEOs of the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group, two big companies, if we can't do it, other organizations will definitely not be able to do it."
"But what does this have to do with Star Labs?"
"Let you provide technical support, our first goal is to restore the urban buildings of the metropolis as soon as possible, don't hide any black technology in your hands and take it out."
Rebuilding the city is only the first step, and Ian wants to take this opportunity to advance his plan to connect Gotham and the metropolis with Bruce, and turn the two big cities into one economic circle.
Superman pointed out the location of the Fortress of Solitude for Fiora's sake, and these old generals of Zod were too sensitive to appear in public.
"You forgot that there's a Luthor in the Met."
He pointed out the loopholes in Ian's plan: "Lex Luthor is not going to sit idly by and watch you reach out to the Metropolis, he has made this city his own forbidden territory, and he will not allow anything to touch it. ”
"If you don't say it, I'll forget about it."
Ian suddenly remembered Luther's big bald head, looked around, and asked, "What about that bastard, if he hadn't intervened, our plan would have been successful." The Met is not what it is now. ”
"I'm going to screw this bastard's head off and kick it like a ball."
Ian didn't manage to screw Luthor's head off in the end, not because of his kindness, not because of the superhero moral code, but because the guy ran away.
Luther's IQ is indeed not low, and Ian didn't think of this big bald escape route anyway.
No way, who made Ian not the kind of person who escaped, although there are always many retreats in his plan, but they are much the same, there is no room for improvement without the opportunity to practice!
"Leave that bastard alone, let's do it first."
Ian waved his hand and said in high spirits: "As long as this project starts, even if Luthor runs back, as long as he can't conjure up a whole city overnight, he can't stop people's desire for home." ”
With Ian's words, everyone stopped asking this and that, and each began to act.
……
Lena Luthor, dressed in business attire, sat by the window of the bar and watched the workers come and go — workers from the Met's redevelopment project.
The collusion between Lex Luthor and Brainiac was revealed the day after the war as part of the city's redevelopment plan, and Lex has mysteriously disappeared ever since.
The Luthor family is hostile to each other, and Lex would rather the company be finished than give his parents the slightest chance to get their hands on it.
In desperation, the board of directors of the Luthor Group had no choice but to move Luthor's sister Lena out and act as the face of the company.
But Lena was also a genius, and it took her a few days to get the upper echelons of the Luther Group in order, and then she couldn't do anything about it.
Luther's actions have completely ruined the company's credibility, and all of its partners have been cut off from the Luther Group.
Originally, the metropolitan redevelopment project was a good opportunity for the Luther Group to re-emerge, but the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group, as well as a number of technology laboratories in the United States, suddenly intervened and occupied the entire market.
No matter how smart Lena is, she can't stand up to a huge economic complex on her own.
"Do you know where these workers come from?"
Lena saw a shadow sitting in the chair opposite.
That's the guy she's been waiting for - Ian!
Lena sat up straight and said solemnly, "Most of these workers are Gotham and Star City people, and they have all been trained by the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group before coming to the Metropolis. ”
The Luther Group's intelligence system was not destroyed, and after Lena gathered information from all sides, she determined that Ian was the central driver of the entire plan.
Faced with such a mysterious superhuman, Lena's mental tension was extreme.
Ian looked at this big beauty with red lips and white teeth, and smiled: "Don't be so nervous, it was Rachel and Carla who persuaded me to come to see you." ”
Lena was surprised to hear the names of her two best friends, of course she knew that her best friends were not ordinary people, but she didn't expect them to have a relationship with Ian.
"Rachel is a magician, and Carla is Superman's cousin." With the consent of the two girls, Ian explains their identities to Lena.
Lena shook her head slightly, trying to accept the fact, staring at Ian and saying, "What would you do if Kara didn't persuade you?" ”
Ian said lightly: "I don't need to do anything, as long as our plan is steadily advanced, the new metropolis is re-established, and the Luther Group, which has lost the market, will naturally die." ”
Although Ian's tone of voice was very soft, Lena set off an indescribable storm in her heart.
From this man's mouth, Lena did not feel the importance he attached to the Luthor Group, as if in his eyes the end of the Group was already doomed.
What made Lena feel powerless the most was that she had to admit that it was also true.
"Then what are you still looking for me for?"
After seeing the doomed ending, Lena no longer pretended to be calm and asked directly.
Ian smiled slightly, "Because our actions have been met with hostility from some people in the Metropolis. ”
He really didn't expect that a city like Metropolis would also be so heavy on local conservatism.
He told Lena: "It's not hard for me to clean up these people, but I don't want to spend my energy on that garbage, so I'm going to support a local." ”
"You want the Luthor to work with you?" Lena came interested.
"No!" Ian shook his head and said, "I want to work with you." You can set up an organization under any name, and I will give you all reasonable support. ”
"Are you worried I'm going to backstab you?"
"No, I don't think you have control over the Luther Group, and although Lex Luthor is gone, he won't leave his stuff behind."
Lena clasped her hands to her chest, frowned, and said, "Are you underestimating me?" ”
Ian didn't give this girl any special treatment just because she was beautiful, and said bluntly: "That's the case, you haven't been in the Luthor Group for a long time, and your control is definitely not as strong as your brother's. ”
"And I'm not interested in Luthor's, I just need you to play in rebuilding the city."
"I need to think about it!" Lena felt like Ian was such a weirdo.
"If you make a decision, go to Rachel and Kara."
Ian left the tavern with a few words.
Bodyguard Mercy walked in through the door, and Lena pouted and led her out.
……
Luthor sat in his secret base, with members of the Illuminati in front of him.
"You've done something stupid!" Savage unceremoniously accused Luther: "Not only did he put those superheroes in the limelight, but he also lost the Met." ”
"So what do you want to do?"
Luther's face was expressionless, he didn't have much to choose right now.
"I'll give you a suitable spot!"
Savage showed Luthor the pattern of three cubes.
……
"Victor, you should go out for a walk!"
Silas looked at his son, who had covered himself tightly in his sweatshirt, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"The world has changed, you are ...... now"
"Enough!"
Victor turned his head abruptly, revealing a semi-mechanical face: "I don't want to hear a word from you. ”
Unable to bear his son's anger, Silas put down a USB stick and walked out of the house.
……
Apocalypse.
The Dark Monarch Daxek watched Brainiac's message to the universe, and his rocky face didn't change at all.
"My master, Brainiac lost badly."
The black shadow crawling under the throne said word by word: "Are you going to organize an army to conquer this planet?" ”
"Where's Steppenwolf?"
Darkseid's voice erupted like the magma of the Apocalypse: "Let him deal with this planet as the price of his atonement!" ”
The Dark Monarch had no interest in Earth because of Brainiac.
In his career, he has conquered too many such worlds.
……
In the solar system, a green light galloped through the universe, and Hal Jordan returned to Earth, looked at the rebuilding metropolis, and sighed:
"Well, it seems that I don't need to come back this time!"
