The battle for Washington is over, even though Ares is not the best enemy they have ever faced for the Justice League.

But for the world, the impact of this war is far more serious than the arrival of Steppenwolf and the Rotten Nation.

Because the true power of the first two has not yet exploded, they were strangled in the cradle by Ian and the Justice League.

Their terrifying power has not been recognized by mankind.

And Ares, he not only revealed his identity as an old god in front of the whole world, but also became a giant who stood up to the sky.

What's more, the battle between Ian and Ares almost destroyed the whole of Washington.

And in the process, the U.S. government, which is still at the top of the current international order, is like a soft child, allowing the two sides of the battle to rub together.

The status of superhumans in human society has undergone a new change.

Changes in the international order are also quietly changing.

The old men in the White House, unable to deal with external challengers, took aim at the Justice League.

In just a few days, the Amazonian homicide became a terrorist attack and then escalated into a racial conflict.

"Old things, do you really think Lao Tzu is easy to bully?"

Ian looked at the report in his hand about the attack on the Justice League branch, and the anger in his heart rose.

"Not only the Justice League, but also the branches in several important cities, the Supermanagement Council, the Star Labs, and Wayne, Quinn, and the reorganized Luthor Group have all been impacted."

Bruce is not wearing a Batman's suit today because he needs to be in the role of Bruce Wayne to be able to handle these things.

"There's nothing to say, we must beat their arrogance down, otherwise it will cause a new racial storm."

Ian put the tablet on the table and said solemnly.

Bruce agrees with Ian, but asks, "In my experience, this kind of thing can't be stopped by manpower. ”

"When did you start believing in invisible forces?"

Ian mocked mercilessly, "There's a ghost spontaneous organization for this kind of thing. Before the start of the battle in Washington, those organizations that opposed the superhumans, all of them were two or three big cats and small cats, and at best they were a private party of a group of speculative losers.

But after Washington, these organizations popped up one by one. I'm willing to bet you, if you look into their money chain, you'll definitely be able to find that group of old men in the White House. ”

Bruce shook his head.

Funding civil society organizations to influence politics is the old neoliberal routine.

There are several such civil society organizations under the Wayne Group.

Ian continued: "Let the Planet Daily publish the matter of Ares, and then find a few big Vs on the Internet to build momentum. Let those old men stand up and take responsibility for this matter. ”

"Trouble with the government is much more exciting than trouble with us. Things about Paradise Island will soon disappear from the public eye. ”

"If those old men refuse to back down, let them experience the taste of 'democracy' as well. After all, they can't always be more equal. ”

Although the Justice League has not yet found the fleeing Amazon, it has come to this point, and the person at the center of the case is not important.

Bruce nodded, brushed the matter along, and then asked another question:

"Are you sure that the Apocalypse is about to attack Earth?"

Ian nodded affirmatively: "This source is reliable. ”

The sources in his mouth are Lucifer and Anamandiel, mainly Lucifer, a fallen angel.

Anamandir, an angel, has no interest in interfering in human affairs.

According to Lucifer, when Ian opened the passage to the Bright Realm, the forces from another omnipotent universe attracted the attention of many beings.

In his words, it should actually be "old friends", and this time it will be more influential than Rachel's.

Darkseid, of course, also noticed what was happening on Earth, and immediately prepared to "take over the planet before the earthlings have more power".

When Lucifer said this, he refused to go any further.

Ian tries to ask him about the exact time and place of the invasion.

But the king of hell apparently took it for fun, and refused to say anything.

The angel obeyed some kind of prohibition, and after patching the hole, he disappeared.

Ian had no choice but to ask the members of the alliance to step up reconnaissance of the situation in the solar system and be vigilant against the invasion of the Apocalypse.

Bruce took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In such a situation, I hope that the army of the Apocalypse Star can appear as soon as possible. Days of high-intensity work have overwhelmed the members of the alliance. ”

Ian also knew that this was not the way to go, but it was the best way.

He can't take the Justice League and rush to the Apocalypse Star to fight Darkseid! The space station is not the advantage of the Justice League in the first place, and if you go around in circles in the universe with the Apocalypse, there is no chance of winning at all.

He told Bruce, "I've reached out to the Illuminati to see if I can get any useful information from them. ”

Bruce said, "Then let's pray that what Savage and Lars said is true!" They really want to protect the world, not use such kind words as an excuse. ”

Ian smiled and replied, "If they're not, I'm ready too." ”

In the Middle East, in the middle of an unnamed valley.

The constant wind blew the fine silly sand in the desert, and a full moon in the sky emitted a silver light, scattered in the desert like a flowing river.

There is no trace of human activity in this forbidden area of life, only animals such as scorpions, sand snakes and lizards can still move.

Suddenly, the night wind became stronger for no reason, blowing through the desert, like a big hand lifting up the desert, blowing countless sands, flying in the desert, forming a continuous sandstorm, covering everything.

"My lord, the desert has taken shape, it covers everything around us, it covers our traces."

Vandal Savage sat cross-legged on the ground, a brightly colored blanket lay beneath him, and a bonfire was lit beside him.

In front of him, there stood a stone statue several meters high, carved out of the mountain wall, weathered for an unknown amount of time, and the face and even the details of the body on it were blurred.

Vandal had only himself in mind, because he didn't trust the gods, he believed only himself.

He never bowed down to others, but forced others to bow down to him.

Call!

A gust of wind swept through the valley, swaying on the campfire next to it, and Vandal's shadow twisted.

Amid the whirring wind, Lars El Gul stepped out, fully armed, dressed in a battle robe, with a centuries-old sword at his waist.

He said to Vandal with a serious face: "You are playing with fire. Ian is not one of those people who keeps the moral bottom line, he is a cunning man, he doesn't know what to prepare, and is waiting for us. ”

"At least, I won't speak ill of others behind my back!"

As Lars finished speaking, Ian stepped out of the blast tunnel.

Lars is old and refined, of course, he will not feel embarrassed because of this kind of thing, but just step aside and let Vandal come to communicate with this opponent.

Ian watched their movements, silent, just waved his hand, and the night storm that the Illuminati had painstakingly built gradually subsided.

Seeing this, the assassin soldiers who were hiding in the shadows couldn't help but take a deep breath and hold their breath.

"Everyone knows you're good, there's no need to show your skills in this way."

Vandal stood up, walked up to Ian, looked at him solemnly, and said.

"Maybe!"

Ian shook his hand, and the storm that had stopped blowing again, covering the entire desert.

Vandal said in a deep voice: "I thought those old gods would cause you some trouble, but I didn't expect you to solve Ares so easily?" ”

"So you already knew that Ares was hiding among the humans?"

Ian looked at the cunning fellow suspiciously.

Vandal spread his arms and said with a smile, "I'm just an old man who has lived a little longer. Knowing that those guys will come back to life sooner or later doesn't mean I know what he wants to do. ”

Ian looked at him meaningfully, and suddenly understood why this group of guys was so honest, it turned out that they wanted the old gods and magicians to be cannon fodder for him.

"Okay, I'm not going to pursue this matter."

Ian said in a deep voice, "What else do you know about the Apocalypse?" ”

"Wow, it depends on what you know."

Vandal said with a sloppy look: "After all, we are not friends, and if you want to get news from me, you must at least pay something." ”

"Well, the Apocalypse Star is about to invade Earth, do you have any inside information?"

Ian didn't want to be sloppy with him, so he asked questions directly.

Vandal's gaze instantly deepened: "I did meet some people from the Apocalypse Star recently, but they didn't even hide it from me, where did you know about it?" ”

"How so?"

Ian was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have some friends above and below, and here's what they told me. ”

Vandal, of course, knew about the existence of heaven and hell, but of course he could not see the angels, and no demons came to him.

"What did you do to make the Apocalypse Star speed up the invasion?"

"It's not about you."

Ian glanced at the guy and replied, "You just have to tell me where the people of the Apocalypse are." Then you can go about your business. ”

Vandal was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "The person who came this time is a kind grandmother, who led a group of women to determine the location of the anti-life equation. ”

Kind grandma!

Ian touched his nose and thought to himself, this is a tough opponent to deal with.

If Dissad is the creator of the Apocalypse Star army, then Granny Kindness is the creator of the Apocalypse Star Elite Army.

Disard used his biomechanical technology to create an army of demons single-handedly, with the mother box as the center, making the army of demons almost endless.

Granny Kindness uses her special energy to select the women of the New Protoss and use brutal training to turn them into Darkseid's weapons.

"I see, thanks for the news!"

Ian nodded to Vandal and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Vandal suddenly stopped Ian and said to him, "I have a gift for you." ”

Vandal clapped his hands, and the two Assassins walked out with a woman who was the same Amazon woman Ian they hadn't found.

"It turns out that she fell into your hands."

Ian looked at Vandal with some surprise, but then calmed down and said slowly: "However, now this woman is no longer important, and no one cares about her life." If you're interested, stay with you! ”

Vandal glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not an all-knowing and all-powerful person, and this woman has more secrets hidden in her body than you think. ”

He pulled out a stack of photos and handed it to Ian.

Ian took the photos with suspicion, looked through them one by one, and saw the scene where Ares, who was incarnated as "Patrick Remus", met with an old woman.

The old woman had white hair, a wrinkled face, black armor that covered her upright belly, and a two-headed mace in her hand, always surrounded by a group of women dressed in the same outfit.

"So, Ares met with Granny Kindness before he used the Amazons to make trouble?"

Ian was shocked when he realized this, but he thought of Ares's unscrupulous nature in order to win the war, and thought it was normal.

Vandal nodded, "This whole thing was planned by the two of them, and this so-called Amazonian is actually a member of the Nemesis. ”

"Is this an individual decision of Ares, or is it a collective decision of the Greek gods?"

Ian couldn't help but think about the worst, he didn't have the slightest trust in the discipline of the Greek gods.

"That's what you're going to find out for yourself!"

With a wave of his hand, the two ninjas threw the woman at Ian's feet.

"We have decided that from now on, we will hide ourselves until the Justice League and Apocalypse Star have won the decisive victory, and then we will appear on Earth."

"You want the snipe and the clam to compete and the fisherman to profit!"

Ian said to Vandal, "You people just want to eat me and the Apocalypse, aren't your appetites too big?" ”

"If you don't try, who knows what the result will be?"

"It's a big gamble, but I've never lost it for tens of thousands of years," Vandal said confidently. ”

"Goodbye, Ian! Hopefully the next time we meet, I'll be able to see your body. ”

Vandal made an intricate bow to Ian and walked into the darkness.

Lars made a gesture into the shadows, and Ian heard the sound of Soso's voice, and the soldiers and ninjas all withdrew.

Ian didn't stop them, because the Apocalypse would not let go of the Illuminati group, and he would be able to get useful information from them when the time came.

When the Illuminati withdrew, he took out the Lasso of Truth, tied up the Nemesis from the Apocalypse, and led her into the Loud Passage and back to the Hall of Justice.

Then, it's time for the Justice League's dedicated interrogator to perform.
