Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Chapter 211 Luther vs. Hikari, the Wisdom of Mortals

Lex Luther.

A billionaire, business tycoon, philanthropist, inventor, politician, with a level nine intelligence and an IQ starting at 180, anyone with a discerning eye should readily call him the most intelligent person in the entire history of the world!

He always had a small question: could all the famous physicists and mathematicians in history, including Einstein, be compared to one of his toes?

When it comes to intelligence, perhaps only Bruce Wayne, who likes to impersonate Batman, can compare to himself.

Comparing them? Hmph, I've probably already far surpassed Bruce Wayne!

But now, a change has occurred.

"Ultraman..."

Luther frowned, slapped the foolish president across the face, and sat down in the White House seat, frowning and deep in thought.

He always believed that humanity's potential was the greatest in the entire universe. After all, even someone with his unparalleled intelligence could be born, so humanity didn't need the help of any aliens or extraterrestrials.

Even if the so-called aid from aliens seems to be without malicious intent, their actions have objectively compressed human potential, making humanity accustomed to being protected by aliens, thus preventing us from continuing to evolve, progress, and explore the true potential of our race!

Therefore, ever since Superman appeared, he has been racking his brains to come up with all sorts of ways to oppose Superman, drive him off Earth, make people distrust him, or even make Superman feel so guilty that he commits suicide.

He has more than enough ability to fight Superman, because Superman was ultimately raised by Earth's adoptive parents. Subconsciously, he respects and trusts Earth's laws and judicial system more than his own morality, even though there are always a lot of parasites in the judicial system.

As long as Superman maintains this mindset, Lex Luthor has plenty of ways to make him suffer.

But Ultraman is no match. All the plans he devised against Superman were nothing but dust in front of Kasa, not even worth mentioning, not even enough to disgust him!

The fact that Kasa admitted that "if the perpetrators remain obstinate, he will kill them directly" shows that Ultraman places himself above the law!

No... that might not be entirely accurate.

It should be said that Ultraman places the "justice and morality that are ironclad rules throughout the entire universe and conform to the concepts of almost all planetary beings" above the laws and judicial organs of a single planet.

Therefore, if any human commits a sufficiently heinous crime, Kassadin will certainly not show any mercy. Rather than going through legal procedures, he would obviously prefer to kill the criminal on the spot.

Moreover, this incident also shows that Kassadin doesn't have the same kind of Superman-like perspective on the law and the judiciary. Superman would consider them sacred, while Kassadin clearly only regards local laws and judiciary as one of the criteria for judgment.

You want to use human laws to restrict him? He doesn't care at all!

If Bruce's Ultraman tokusatsu films are accurate, then based on the ages of the original Ultraman, Ultraman Kasa should be at least 10,000 years old.

An old thing that's ten thousand years old must have seen the laws of many different planets, so it has a very sharp eye and can spot the various flaws in Earth's current laws. Naturally, it won't be limited to just this.

Moreover, let alone other planets, in the Land of Light's development over at least a million years, its thinking is clearly not that of a rigid, unchanging civilization; its moral concepts must have undergone iterations to some extent.

In other words, Kasa might harbor a certain degree of criticism and disapproval of the current moral values ​​of Ultraman himself and the Land of Light, and his methods of doing things are extremely flexible.

Besides legal factors, even if Earthlings are fooled by this loser and gather together to condemn and express their disgust towards Kassa, what can they do to Kassa? This ten-thousand-year-old man really doesn't think he hasn't encountered this situation during his ten thousand years of service, does he? He must have become desensitized long ago.

If it were someone like Ultraman Jack or the original Ultraman, it would be fine; being treated like this probably wouldn't harm humanity. The problem is Kasa's style of doing things; isn't he clearly a hawk among the Ultramen?

Don't forget, even Jack, the most easy-going Ultraman, only transformed to fight and protect innocent civilians after watching those who persecuted the Metz aliens and Earth boys be burned to death by monsters during the Metz alien incident. Not to mention Kasa.

People don't care what you do. One minute you, Luther, are spreading rumors and putting pressure on people to become Ultraman, and the next second Kasa might just fall from the sky and come straight to your bedroom. What will happen then? Luther doesn't even want to think about it.

He can die, but he must not die meaninglessly like a clown.

Faced with this advanced life form who was so knowledgeable and had long since developed its own internal scales, and who also possessed flexible and practical conversion methods, Luther really didn't know how to deal with it except by overwhelming it with sheer strength.

But the question is, if humans can defeat Ultraman through sheer strength, then why would they need to worry about Ultraman's protection limiting their potential?

While in terms of combat power, it might not be entirely impossible to gain an advantage by seeking forbidden knowledge, such as making a deal with certain sealed dark gods to help them break free and then have them defeat Kassadin.

After all, it's obvious that Ultraman Kasa is no match for that evil god from outside the universe named Barbatos, isn't it?

The problem is, Ultraman isn't Superman. Superman helps humanity 24/7, so it's acceptable to use non-human forces to fight Superman, as long as it happens when Earth is peaceful.

But Ultraman only appears when you face a crisis that you can't handle on your own. If you cause trouble at that time, are you hoping the Earth won't explode sooner?

So, is he really completely helpless against a mere alien?

"No, absolutely not!"

Suddenly, Luther's eyes sharpened.

He believed in humanity, that humanity's potential and value far exceeded that of all non-human life forms, and that Ultraman was only powerful because he had developed hundreds of thousands of years ahead of humanity.

And he, Luther, intends to use his unparalleled intelligence to overtake the Land of Light by taking a shortcut and directly surpass its millions of years of accumulation!

"Technologically, it's impossible for now. The backwardness of domestic technology completely limits my abilities. There's no way I can make something like life solidification technology. Since that's the case, let's settle this legally, you bastard!"

He's made up his mind. Since the presidential election is coming up soon, he'll use money to run for the next term, then manipulate both houses of parliament to completely overhaul the national laws, updating the current flawed legal system to achieve true fairness, not just stability.

Hmph, he doesn't believe that the laws he, Luther, created with his full-power wisdom, based on the supremacy of fairness and justice, can fail to make a mere alien Ultraman take notice.

Just wait to kneel before his level nine intelligence and 180 IQ, you foolish Ultraman Kasa, wait to be stunned speechless by his super intelligence, hahaha!

Why do I have such a bad feeling?

Having been slapped, the president lay miserably on the ground, his face contorted with tears. He had already negotiated terms with Luthor: he wouldn't stop Luthor from targeting Superman, and in exchange, Luthor would support his succession.

But now it seems like Luther has his new ambitions written all over his face.

I don't want anything like not being able to succeed someone, waaaaah!

"Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha!!"

Lex Luthor laughed heartily amidst the president's weeping.

……

"What does 'dc' mean? I don't know either."

In Gotham, Kassadin shook his head slightly, unable to answer Bruce's confusion. "I just happened to overhear some terms while being watched by various hidden beings in this multiverse, including the term 'DC' which refers to your entire hypermultiverse worldview."

Bruce pondered: "DC... could it be Detective Comics?"

Detective Comics, literally translated as detective comics, means, is it possible that in some other multiverse, it is published in the form of detective comics, just like how there are Ultraman tokusatsu films in the Hachiman world?

The possibility is quite high.

But thinking about it carefully, there are just too many flaws. Let's not even talk about Barbatos, Trigon, and Darkseid, who are beyond the ultimate Ultraman. Even Superman and Wonder Woman, which of them are detective comics?

At most, only in his own Gotham territory, within Batman's domain, is there any fertile ground for detectives to exist.

Um?and many more.

Even a wicked god like Barbatos, who could crush the universe, chose to recruit a fallen Batman from a parallel universe as his subordinate. And when this fallen Batman failed, Barbatos chose to take direct action.

In other words, Batman is already Barbatos's strongest subordinate, or his closest and most important subordinate.

Given the DC universe of "Detective Comics," could it be that Bruce Wayne is a very important character in this world, like Ultraman in "Ultraman"?

Bruce paused for a moment, then immediately told Kasa, who nodded in agreement: "Regardless of whether you are the protagonist or not, based on the feedback I received from the rank loading of the [First Ultraman], you are very conspicuous and have special significance. At least in this universe, you are indeed a very important person."

"Suppose there's a bomb that could destroy the world, Bruce, maybe you're the button that decides whether it explodes or not!"

Chapter 212 Batman, you're such a jerk!

Regarding the uniqueness of Batman, Casa and Bruce found the final answer in Batman the Destroyer.

The latter was locked in a special bat cave. After the initial confusion, he had come to terms with the situation and seemed to have no resistance to their interrogation. Before they even started to torture him, he had already voluntarily confessed all the information he knew.

According to the Devastater, after he became Doomsday and killed Superman from his own world, a Dark Batman called the Batman Who Laughs traveled to his world and invited him to join an organization called the Dark Knights.

The Dark Knights are all corrupted Batmen of various kinds, under the command of the Batman Who Laughs, who in turn obeys Barbatos. Based on information occasionally leaked by the Batman Who Laughs, it seems that Barbatos, the Bat God, is the creator of Batman.

—Not just one universe, but all of them. The reason Batman exists, and Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, is fundamentally due to Barbatos's manipulation; he shaped this fixed destiny.

At the same time, the DC universe is divided into two multiverses. Barbatos is in the Dark Multiverse. He is not only the master of the entire Dark Multiverse, but it seems possible that he created the Dark Multiverse. Or even if he didn't create it, it is definitely closely related to his origin.

However, the specific connection between them was not clear to the Destroyer; that was something only the Laughing One knew.

Barbatos's current goal is to invade the positive multiverse, but it is too powerful and vast, and too dark, so it is rejected by the positive universe and cannot easily go to the positive multiverse.

This is why Barbatos had the Laughing Maniac recruit various versions of the Fallen Batman throughout the Dark Multiverse. These Batmen were far less powerful than Barbatos himself and could serve as vanguards, making it easier for Barbatos to enter the Positive Multiverse first and creating better conditions for Barbatos to enter there.

The reason why the Laughing Bewitcher joined the Dark Knights and became an enemy of the positive multiverse is also very simple.

"The laughter revealed to me a series of images: in the positive multiverse, many worlds still trust Superman day and night. I cannot tolerate such a hypocritical imposter as Superman, such a madman who manipulates everyone, and yet he can still be praised like this!"

Even though Superman is no longer affected by the Doomsday Factor, the Destroyers still grit their teeth when Superman is mentioned.

"I must enter the positive multiverse and reveal the true face of Superman to all worlds!"

The more they loved Clark, the more intense the Destroyer's hatred for Superman became after Clark revealed his true colors.

Bruce remained silent, glancing at Kassadin beside him.

He could sense that he and Clark would become the best partners. They got along so well, but it hadn't been long enough, so right now he trusted Caesar more than Clark.

At least Kassa has been washed away for over ten thousand years, so the possibility of him being a fake is extremely low, almost nonexistent. If he weren't Batman, he would definitely be a zero.

But as everyone knows, Batman always harbors at least a sliver of suspicion towards everyone, no matter who they are.

Bruce pondered for a moment: what would Bruce's reaction be if one day Kasa suddenly killed everyone on Earth, wiped out several chat group members and their worlds, and claimed that there was never any Ultra Spirit and it was all an act?

With that in mind, Bruce could completely understand why the Destroyers had degenerated into that state.

But while he understood, he still couldn't let the ravager go to such extremes: "You yourself know very well that every parallel world is different. As you said, the Dark Batman codenamed Merciless Iron Fist in the Dark Knights fell in love with Wonder Woman, but at least neither you nor I have that kind of feeling for Wonder Woman."

"All indications suggest that in different parallel worlds, although everyone may look the same and have the same identity, their personalities may not be the same. Superman in your world is a jerk, but Superman in other worlds may not be like that."

“Perhaps.” The Destroyer said calmly, as if he had expected Batman to offer this advice. “Before experiencing that betrayal, I would have thought the same thing.”

Words alone cannot fully convey empathy. The Superman on the Destroyer's side is truly flawless in his acting, so flawless that all the masters of acting in the entire universe combined cannot compare to a single hair of Clark's.

If it weren't for this, how could he have gone so far as to suddenly claim that all the Clarkes in parallel universes were just acting?

Even after experiencing Clark's betrayal, the Destroyer still couldn't tell whether the other Supermen were acting or not. Since he couldn't tell, he could only cut them off directly.

The ravager looked at Kasa, who was now in his classic human form, the same form he had taken in the worlds of Miko, Hachiman, and Yuta.

“Frankly speaking,” the Destroyer made no attempt to hide his lingering doubts, shattered by Superman’s betrayal, “although I could sense your kindness through those energies on the way back from being redeemed, I now can’t even believe you’re a truly good person.”

"You are free to harbor doubts about me at any time, but you only have the right to doubt in your heart until I do anything wrong."

Kasa shook his head slightly: "You need time to control yourself. Right now, you can only spend it in prison."

As an old man who lived over ten thousand years ago, Kassadin had a keen eye for human nature. He could see that although the current Destroyers were no longer like they were during the Doomsday era, no longer thinking about spreading Doomsday across the globe and turning everyone into Doomsday beings, they still absolutely could not be allowed to act freely.

Given the current state of mind of the ravagers, once they are released, they will definitely try every means to scheme against and test Clark. If Clark, a perfectly normal person, is driven insane and rebelled because of this, that would be a huge tragedy.

Moreover, given his own identity as a fellow alien, Kasa could not use his experience to enlighten the ravagers, because whatever he said might only increase their suspicions.

The ravager nodded, having no objection to this fate, and he knew that his mental state was not normal: "I admit that, but I have a request."
