Chapter 426: Only one can survive in two worlds, Luther’s betrayal?
Lex Luthor sat quietly in the main control room of War World, looking completely harmless and fighting for Batman wholeheartedly.
He wore green armor, with a playful smile on his bald head, and put one foot next to the console. No trouble, no moth, and even no messy human experiments - of course, that was expressly prohibited by Batman.
During this period of time, Luthor managed the Justice League in an orderly manner, and was regarded as Batman's best wife, so that Batman's trust in him gradually increased, and even took him to participate in this operation instead of the Justice League.
However, Lex Luthor himself knew that even if he was so trusted, Batman would only pay attention to him in words and in reality, but would never give him the position of leader of the Justice League. In Batman's eyes, even Hal Jordan, that idiot, was more suitable to be the face of the Justice League than him, Lex Luthor.
Rather than saying that Batman brought him to participate in the operation because of the so-called "trust", it is better to say that this time it was because Batman knew that he was going to murder the little blue man this time, so he did not bring his group of superhero friends who believed in the iron rule of not killing, but brought him, the former super villain, just like you must bring toilet paper when you go to the toilet, right?
But for Luthor, these are irrelevant. No matter how others treat him, Lex Luthor always saves the world in his own way. And even those who don't like him must admit: Luthor is one of the smartest people in the world, so his way of saving the world is often more efficient and direct than that of mediocre people, or...
Cold-blooded.
Behind him, there were several corpses of aliens dressed as gladiators, and the blood directly soaked Luthor's other foot on the ground.
He raised his foot with some disdain, then shook it and put it on the operating table as well.
The operating table displayed the target and location of the attack just now by the War World and a bunch of messy data.
The shoulder of the green armor opened a hole, and several mechanical tentacles stretched out and inserted directly into an interface on the operating table.
This is exactly Brainiac's technology. Through it, Luthor can roughly monitor...
Batman appeared on the screen. The surveillance camera was very close to Batman. It looked like some kind of invisible surveillance probe that Luthor made with Brainiac technology and his own learning.
On the screen, Batman used a kryptonite chain that he might have taken out from behind to wrap Supergirl into a cocoon. There was a pink spot on his forehead, and he used his strange transformation ability to read Supergirl's memory.
"What's the situation now?"
Luthor's eyes stared at the operating screen, and a voice sounded in his mind, hoarse and low, sounding very much like Batman, even the tone that sounded like a mouthful of phlegm stuck in the throat was exactly the same.
"It went smoothly." Luthor said silently, and answered the voice in his heart: "Your plan was successful, Night Owl."
Batman on the screen released the memory reading of Supergirl, and a bat-scratching expression appeared on his face.
"Batman's attention is now completely attracted by Supergirl's affairs, which may give you more time to do what more than 2,000 Green Lanterns are going to do." Luthor said: "Also, I really don't intend to remind you of such a low-level matter, but I still have to say it. Night Owl, Batman is too close to us, you shouldn't contact me at this time. I guess Batman has probably stuffed seven or eight surveillance methods around me at this moment, such as the Red of All Living Things and the Black of Decay. Whether intentionally or unintentionally." Luthor's eyes wandered around the corpses at his feet and any corner of the room. The seemingly dead bodies, the small insect-like creatures in the room, the metal machines...
He warned through the connection with Night Owl: "Those who drown are always good swimmers. I don't mind if you attract Batman's attention and your plan fails, but it's better not to affect me."
"I'm here to inform you that all 2,000 Green Lanterns have been captured." Night Owl's voice sounded: "And it's time for you to provide me with the Parasite Cells and Doomsday Cells you promised in our deal."
"So soon?" Luthor was a little speechless. He sat up straight from his chair. To outsiders, it seemed that he was watching Batman on the screen more attentively. He answered Night Owl in his mind: "How do you deal with them?"
"..."
Night Owl responded with silence.
Luthor waved his hand carelessly: "Forget it, you should know that I am not asking these questions to seek an answer, just kidding."
"Don't be so stubborn, Luthor, you and I both know that those Green Lanterns will obey you completely after being transformed. You are the creator and actual controller of the Parasite. Even if I transformed these guys, as long as they have the DNA of the Parasite in their bodies, you can completely control them. This is the wisdom of Lex Luthor. You have never handed over the control and manufacturing methods of the Parasite to others, even Batman."
Night Owl said: "You have already taken a big advantage of this deal, so what are you hesitating about, Luthor?"
Luthor did not speak.
"General Zod has arrived on Earth, and I have kept it a secret for you long enough."
"I used Mongo to hide it for a long enough time." Night Owl added: "Without my manipulation of Mongo, do you think that the Black Field of Decay he deployed could block the information sent by the Justice League to Batman? You know, that is the information transmission through the Metal Spirit. It is more difficult to block it through the Black of Decay without being discovered by Batman who also controls the Black of Decay. If you are willing to do it yourself, I don't need to spend so much effort."
"I'm not stupid." Luthor sneered: "You cut off the information yourself, and then Batman will find out that I am plotting something wrong after investigation?"
"Your intelligence is fully capable of preventing Batman from discovering..."
"But you will leak it to Batman." Luthor straightened up slightly, and what he said made Night Owl silent, because he would indeed do that.
The Luthor in this world is completely different from the Luthor in his world, who is almost like an idiot, which makes Night Owl a little uncomfortable. In his heart, he reviewed his subconscious behavior of using the IQ of Luthor in his world to fit the other party.
"When I can't explain this to Batman, you come out to be a good person, fan the flames between the two of us, and even kill secretly, so that I am forced to break up with Batman? Come on, Night Owl, let's make it clear." Luthor sat back in his chair: "You want me to be in the same group with you." Night Owl was silent for a while, and then finally said: "I admire you, Lex. You are different from those hypocritical guys and incompetent trash. Really, you are completely different from Alexander Luthor (Note: Thunder Shazam, this person is the isomorph of Lex Luthor on Earth 3, with abilities similar to Thunder Shazam). Out of respect for your wisdom, I am willing to leave a place for you in my world." Luthor did not answer him. He just leaned against the operating table and supported his cheek with one hand. Night Owl also understood Luthor's choice, and his voice became a little gloomy: "What a pity."
"Either your world lives, or my world is destroyed." Luthor said: "Don't think I will betray my world. I think anyone with a normal mind will choose the world he was born in, no matter how generous the conditions you offer."
"I know there are few things in this world that can impress you, Lex, but I still want to say it. In my Gotham, you will be respected by everyone, and you will be the god who saves the world. Everyone will worship you from the bottom of their hearts." Night Owl said: "But look at those ungrateful things you are protecting. Batman has been away from the crowd for too long. He overlooks the whole world from a more macro perspective, but you know it very well, don't you? Luthor? You and Amanda How much pressure from the government and the public has Waller smoothed out for Batman? "
"Those things will never reach Batman's ears. Those ungrateful mobs and politicians full of lies. You and Amanda use more dirty and despicable means to deal with these people, but you know very well that you are like using a dam to block the flood that is about to overflow. Sooner or later, these ungrateful things will break Batman's heart. "
Night Owl whispered: "These people are hopeless. They actually think they are more qualified to be the masters of this world than you. Those people are inferior, stupid, rebellious and ignorant. You and them are simply two species. What reason do you have to fight for them?"
Night Owl's voice was somewhat sincere. Luther knew that the other party was definitely a master of negotiation.
"Life in your world is life, and life in my world is also life. Since only one can stay, Luther, why don't we choose the more superior one? There are no anti-intellectual idiots and ungrateful bastards, and no stupid politicians who intend to control superhumans. They will even kneel down to thank us for our mercy and saving their lives."
Luther did not speak, and in the eyes of Night Owl, this was undoubtedly a sign of wavering.
"Typical elitist thinking." Luther commented: "Batman doesn't like this."
Before Night Owl could say more, Luther interrupted him: "Let's talk about it later. We all have time, don't we?"
Night Owl's voice was silent in Luther's mind for a while.
"Yes, we all have time. But time will always run out, Luther. Soon, your world will feel the power of the Anti-Monitor. I know you still have illusions, Luther. Maybe you can beat the Anti-Monitor, maybe you can defeat him like you did against Darkseid? Maybe Batman still has his own little plan?"
"But..." Night Owl did not say anything. He just said:
"You will know when you see the Anti-Monitor. I hope you can defeat him. I hope you can defeat him from the bottom of my heart, more than any of you. Everything I do is to make your universe stronger overall."
"I hope you will consider it from the bottom of my heart, Luther. My world may be more suitable for everyone's survival than the world you live in now. You can bring the elites of your world to my world. And those wastes and residues... you know. The fact is..."
Luther said: "The fact is that 90% of human beings are useless for the progress and development of human civilization. They are just a group of parasites."
"Indeed." Night Owl said: "And we now have the opportunity to select those elites and then choose a world where elites are more likely to appear."
Luthor paused, he hesitated, and then changed the subject: "Does General Zod really have the ability to cure Superman?"
"It's the real deal." Night Owl said: "And the Life Codex can help me cultivate more Kryptonians and then create more Doomsdays."
"Defective Doomsday." Luthor added: "Neither you nor I have the ability to replicate the perfect version. I have seen Doomsday's DNA information. Even Kryptonians can't do it."
"I will try my best." Night Owl said: "But with all due respect, when facing the Anti-Monitor, the Doomsday Army is just insignificant cannon fodder."
"...Even if General Zod took away the Life Codex, aren't you afraid that General Zod would kill Superman in a rage?"
Luthor said.
"Don't doubt my motives, Lex." Night Owl replied: "I told him that Batman will be here soon."
...
...
...
"What the hell."
Seeing Supergirl still roaring crazily, Chen Tao scratched his head.
There are three ways to make a Red Lantern regain his sanity.
One is to create a blood pool, but Atrocitus is completely clueless about this kind of thing. Chen Tao once described it to him, but he still doesn't know how to make it.
One is the blue lantern ring, forget about it, Gunther and Seid (Note: two little blue men with emotions, who were previously expelled by the Guardians of the Universe) haven't made this thing yet.
Another is to have Green Lantern Mogo help him change blood, which is equivalent to the other party using the source of the planet to maintain immortality, but according to Hal's description, Green Lantern Mogo is still dealing with General Zod who ran out of the Phantom Zone. It will probably take some time for him to knock him down.
However, when Chen Tao was still thinking about how to change blood for Supergirl, he suddenly froze in place.
"What's wrong?" Killer Croc flew over, wanting to ask Batman why he suddenly showed this expression. But the next second he saw a sonic boom tunnel appear in front of Batman. Batman threw Supergirl, who was wrapped in chains, to his chest, and the whole person passed through the sonic boom tunnel. The high-speed bullets immediately synchronized with his body, and with a violent sonic boom, they flew towards Kent Farm on the other side of the tunnel. Killer Croc was left alone, scratching his head: "What the hell, take us back!!!"
