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

In the period following the war, almost all the superheroes gathered in Gotham.

On the one hand, Batman became famous overnight, jumping from a city-level hero to one of the world's top three superheroes, widely recognized for his command and foresight. Everyone was waiting for him to come up with a plan for the aftermath.

It's important to understand that while the Kryptonian invasion has ended, given the alleged global massacre by Superman in a parallel world, Batman's own opinion is paramount in determining whether or not to restrict or be wary of Superman in the future.

After all, if Batman, as a parallel co-existing victim, can be so magnanimous as to say that he wants to believe in Superman on this side, then everyone else can naturally feel more or less at ease.

On the other hand, although no one said it outright, it was obvious to everyone that Ultraman was probably still there and was likely wandering around Batman's vicinity.

If I wander around Gotham and bump into Kassadin, at least I'll get some pointers from him, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Even someone as old as ten thousand years old as Deng can make something out of the most ordinary left front kick and right roundhouse kick. His fighting skills far surpass those of these people.

For these two reasons, Gotham has now temporarily become a superhero haven, with various superheroes roaming the city day and night. With the Joker imprisoned, Gotham's crime rate has been reduced to zero.

The guy had just stepped out with a knife or an AK-47 tucked in his pocket, grinning maliciously while pulling down his hood, when suddenly several superheroes rushed over, glanced at him, and chuckled, "Hey buddy, what are you standing there for? Let's go rob some more robberies!"

"Click".

The knife and AK47 were thrown to the ground. The robber immediately raised his hands and was forced to recount and confess his past crimes before being sent to prison.

This time, no one dared to bail out these criminals, whether they were businessmen, Gotham executives, or mob bosses like Oswald the Penguin. No one dared to be the first to step forward at this time.

Otherwise, the losses would not be as simple as just a few business deals and a few underlings. Those enthusiastic and bored superheroes would definitely be happy to dismantle all their behind-the-scenes protectors!

As for why these superheroes are so free and don't need to worry about making a living... well, you'd have to ask Bruce Wayne, Batman's partner who's been giving these superheroes a huge, unpaid windfall lately.

"Spendthrift! Rich kids are truly the most despicable people in the world. They don't even feel a pang of regret when spending the Wayne family's savings accumulated over so many years!"

The penguin was so angry that he smashed things at home and cursed Bruce Wayne, that born evil second-generation brat, three hundred times a day. He cursed him from morning till night, but it was still not enough to quell his hatred.

Although he has been behaving himself since his release from prison, mainly focusing on figuring out how to challenge the Ultraman IP, and has even reduced his weapons business, his businesses still carry a gangster vibe and have somewhat crossed the line.

As a result, after those superheroes stayed in Gotham and refused to run away, his various businesses had to take the initiative to shut down, and profits visibly shrank.

"Boss, boss!"

Suddenly, his most trusted subordinate tumbled in from outside, his face filled with surprise and panting, "News! News!"

"News?" Penguin's eyes lit up. "Those troublesome superheroes are finally getting rid of them?"

"No, no!" The subordinate hurriedly handed over a thick, huge envelope. "It's an alliance agreement drafted by Wayne Enterprises. That brat Bruce Wayne offered very generous terms!"

The penguins were completely bewildered: "Huh?"

Bruce Wayne approached him for a collaboration. What's going on? I've never seen anything like this before.

"I'll see."

Penguin took the extra-long and thick contract and read it carefully over and over again.

The contract states that Wayne Enterprises will fund the establishment of a new subsidiary company, which will engage in various investments and productions in highly profitable industries with excellent prospects. They are now inviting Oswald to join them and make money together. At the same time, Batman will end his targeting of him.

In exchange, he would need to stop all his transgressions, change the identities of his underlings, and establish a special security company to help combat other criminal gangs. Wayne Enterprises would provide him with compensation.

If it is discovered that Oswald has resumed his criminal activities or that his subordinates have colluded with other criminals, the partnership will be considered terminated. In that case, Wayne Enterprises will directly bankrupt the company they are cooperating with, preferring to suffer heavy losses themselves rather than let Oswald suffer any casualties.

Moreover, if Oswald goes back on his word after signing the contract, in addition to the company going bankrupt, not only will Batman target him again, but he will also get Superman to keep a close eye on him and all his subordinates day and night.

If they commit even the slightest illegal act, they will all be immediately thrown into jail. Even if you can pay to get out the next day, Batman and Superman can put you back in the next day, and you will never have a peaceful day again.

"..."

Oswald looked left and right, and could only see two words: threat!

The underling grinned and rubbed his hands together, shamelessly praising his boss: "Boss, is this Bruce Wayne, that second-generation brat, afraid of you and sending you this signal of goodwill?"

"You don't know anything!" Oswald cursed. "What does that brat Bruce Wayne know? He's just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and whore around. These conditions must have come from Batman."

In the past, not only were there no major events, but the era of superheroes had not yet begun. At that time, the rest of the world did not need Batman much, so it was enough to stay in Gotham and fight the Gotham villains repeatedly until the day when the Gotham villains completely surrendered.

But not anymore.

The Kryptonian incident is over, but everyone understands that even bigger troubles will follow.

Batman is now preoccupied with major events in the superhero era and has no time to joke around with these Gotham villains. So, without violating his oath of non-killing, he has taken the most convenient approach.

It is still unknown how he treats others, but Oswald clearly chose to lure him with benefits, which is equivalent to recruiting him and his entire force, and making him a permanent member of Batman's team.

The profits offered by Wayne Enterprises, while not much more than what he would earn as a mob godfather, would be much more comfortable and secure. Standing on the same side as Batman and Wayne Enterprises would require far less brainpower than being a mob godfather.

Moreover, this time, he either won't agree or he won't have a chance to back out. If he does, even if it's just to intimidate other Gotham villains, Batman will definitely make him the target of everyone's attacks and mobilize all his forces against him.

"Should we still agree?" the confidant asked.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully."

Oswald pondered. He could barely handle Batman, then there was Superman, and now Ultraman had appeared. Although it was common knowledge that Ultraman wouldn't interfere in the internal affairs of other civilizations, but…

"Go to Wayne Group and take this contract with you."

"Should we refuse, or..."

“Have them revise this contract and add a condition.” Oswald’s eyes sharpened. “Either let me meet with Kasa, or let me have a stake in the Ultraman IP, even if it’s just one ten-thousandth!”

Hmph, he didn't make such a childish request because he likes Ultraman or watching Ultraman. It's just that as a mafia godfather, he has to make some demands, otherwise he can't demonstrate his status and importance!

"rush!"

"Yes, boss!"

……

"Hello, please have a seat."

"Okay, excuse me... Did you call me here because of what the ravager said?"

Ultraman, and Superman.

Kassa looked at Clark. From his perspective, Clark was a great young man, a bit naive, and clearly without a trace of guile.

Clark felt as if he were being scrutinized by a kind uncle, and he subconsciously presented his best side to avoid disappointing the other person.

Meanwhile, Clark sat down somewhat awkwardly, a faint worry between his brows. He had a clear conscience, but he knew that after a case like the one in the parallel world of the Destroyer had occurred, it would be only natural for Ultraman to be wary of him.

“You seem to have misunderstood something.” Kassa shook his head slightly. “Neither I nor Bruce will treat you as a suspect. I also believe you are a kind person who walks the path of justice and order. Clark, you must believe in yourself and believe in others.”

"This……"

Clark was surprised. Hearing that the situation was so good, he felt uneasy instead. "Is this too lenient on me? Maybe it won't make people feel at ease."

“Before we discuss that, I’d like to talk to you about something else.” Kasa looked directly into Clark’s eyes, communicating through both language and the windows to his soul. “For example, your experiences growing up, your family, and the fact that you seem to have had some wonderful adoptive parents.”

The topic was easily steered off course, and Clark warmed up, a smile appearing on his face. He began to recall his adoptive mother and his long-deceased adoptive father: "Yes!"

He talked on and on about everything, such as how he thought he was human when he was a child, how he awakened the abilities of a Kryptonian one day, how he was restless and unable to eat or sleep for a while, and how he even saved a school bus.

His adoptive father was worried that if he revealed his abilities, he would be targeted by higher-ups or become an ancestor, so he would rather die than let him reveal his abilities.

Even so, he would occasionally use his abilities to do what he could. For example, he once went to an out-of-control oil well at sea and rescued the people there.

As he listened, Kasa would also raise some hypotheses, about different moral dilemmas, and the possibility that Clark's adoptive parents and girlfriend had died.

Clark didn't hide anything and gave his most honest answer.

But as he spoke, he became hesitant and finally said, "There is something I would like to ask you for your guidance on."

Kasa shook his head helplessly: "No need for such respect. I'm just a little older than you and have been on the path of justice for a while longer. Feel free to speak, we can discuss anything. I won't offer any advice."

With permission, Clark carefully took out an item, a lead shell. He opened the shell to reveal a green stone inside. "This is kryptonite. I found this in the ship that crashed in Zod. These things seem to have a natural effect on me. Whenever I get close to it, I get weakened and become powerless."

Kasa asked, "You want me to help you destroy these stones?"

“No,” Clark objected, proposing a discussion, “I want these stones to circulate. Do you think that’s okay?”

What was the thought process behind this?

"...I think I'm too strong."

"Huh?" Kasa was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

“Oh, of course, that doesn’t include you.” Clark waved his hand sheepishly. “Because Mr. Casa won’t be staying on Earth all the time, right? So I was thinking, what if I really went crazy one day—although I believe in my own heart, what if I were manipulated into going crazy by someone else?”

"Although Diana, Arthur, Martian Manhunter, and Shazam can still hold their own against me to some extent, I am constantly getting stronger, and in the future, they will not be my match."

"What if I do something like Superman in the Destroyer world when Mr. Kasa isn't around? So I think we should give everyone a way to restrain me, so that I don't one day make an irreparable mistake."

Now I understand.

But after understanding, Kassa felt even more speechless.

"I initially thought Bruce's excessive caution was an isolated case, but now it seems that, just as I expected, the superheroes in the DC universe all have a certain degree of distorted thinking."

Clark was puzzled: "Does this mean I'm against it? Is there something wrong with my thinking?"

"There are too many wrong parts; in fact, there isn't a single correct one."

Kasa sighed heavily, "By being this cautious and self-disciplined, you've already fallen into a trap of endless slippery slopes, which will eventually make everything unreliable. It seems you haven't realized the danger, Clark."

Chapter 215 The Fragmented DC World, Completing the Circuit of the Emotional Spectrum

Seeing Clark's puzzled expression, who had no idea what was wrong with him, Kasa had no choice but to start teaching him from scratch.

"Because you are too strong, in order to prevent you from becoming the destroyer, we need to prepare for you in advance, so that others can have a chance to defeat you. That's your theory, isn't it?"

Clark nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "That's right."

"Okay, then let's not change your theoretical foundation for now. Let's assume you're always the strongest. Have you ever considered that the weaknesses you spread might be exploited by your opponents?"

Kasa was implying that although Ultraman never emphasizes the limits of his organs, as a fully evolved life form, Ultraman can do almost everything that Superman can do.

Don't forget that in various tokusatsu dramas alone, many different Ultra Warriors have shown how they can hear cries for help from one end of a city to the other, or even from across half the arc of a planet.

And even more obviously, Ultraman can always stand on Earth and look out into the universe, clearly seeing through the alien spaceships preparing to escape or launch an attack in the distant cosmos.

Superman's sensory perception can even be blocked by lead, but Ultraman warriors don't have this flaw. If they say it's a full hexagon, then it's a full hexagon; they never lie.

When Kassa was in this DC world, and in order to uncover as many of the behind-the-scenes truths as possible, he completely unleashed his senses, which he usually restrained to protect the privacy of other lives. He had already heard about those people, including Luther, who had no reason to hold a great grudge against Clark and were eager to take action against him.

"Eliminate those aggressors who attempt to disrupt the peace, but what if those humans who only harbor ill will towards you come after you with the kryptonite you've distributed? Do you think that aligns with your goals?"

Hearing this, Clark knew things were going badly, but he could still manage to respond: "I won't go easy on these people. Even if they have Kryptonite weapons, they won't have a chance to hit me. I will destroy all the Kryptonite they have."

“Perhaps,” Kassa chuckled. “What if the invaders had stolen the kryptonite weapons from these people?”

"This……"

This time, Clark was speechless because he really couldn't refute it.
