I, V, Gotham Legend

"Now, find a rope and tie yourself up," Valerie ordered.

Luther silently followed Valerie's orders and actually picked up the wires from the floor and tied himself up in circles. Since it was difficult for him to do this by himself, Valerie still helped a little.

With his body tied up like an annelid by the tightening wires, Luther fell to the ground like a maggot.

After using some tricks to confirm that Luther really had no backup plan and was really hypnotized, Valerie finally began to ask for key information. "Waller said you fooled the entire Sky Eye Society. Now, tell me your shady plan."

Compared with torture, which is difficult to distinguish true from false, the information obtained in this way is more reliable.

"The Kryptonian spaceship..." Luthor's eyes were dull, completely lacking his previous wisdom and ease. "I want the Kryptonian spaceship."

Luther's private satellite had detected an alien spacecraft approaching the earth half a month ago, and that was when his research on the hacker access cabin was relatively mature.

Therefore, he came up with a plan that could be called a gamble, which, if failed, could drag down the entire earth.

But as long as it succeeds, the Earth may enter the interstellar age ahead of schedule and will no longer be helpless when facing powerful aliens.

"Lure the aliens to Earth, and then use chips to hack into their spacecraft."

Luther said it so easily that Valerie almost thought it was something that could be accomplished with ease.

"Hack into the Kryptonian spaceship? Just use this?" Valerie couldn't help but take out the hacker access cabin again.

Although he already knew that his ability was a game mechanic, it was somewhat exaggerated. But based on Valerie's experience in the game, it was too exaggerated for one person to hack into a spaceship with just this kind of chip.

[How can you ignore the government and do this privately? This is a contempt for the law...] Amanda sighed helplessly in her headphones again.

"Waller is upset that you didn't bring her along for such a big event," Valerie translated.

"The government plays a very important role. The agents they send are responsible for getting the Kryptonians to drive their spacecraft to the designated location and relaying the signal to their spacecraft." Luthor explained, but it still sounded a little confusing.

"Task Force X won't do anything for you. I hold their lives in my hands..." Amanda didn't finish her words because she herself discovered the suspicious points of the matter.

Why did Luther dare to make such a gamble? Task Force X used the equipment provided by Luther's double agent to find the fake chip, so what was that fake chip?

How did Luthor know for sure that the people coming here must be Kryptonians? And how did he let the Kryptonians land in Metropolis?

Amanda asked Valerie questions, and Valerie asked Luther questions of her own.

"A chip... that thing can contact the real world."

"That's enough. Do you think this will make you look sophisticated? Explain it more clearly." Valerie said impatiently.

"As long as the hacker accesses the cabin, he can connect to the network from the parallel universe." Luther made a powerful statement, "Unfortunately, I have only succeeded once."

……

NO69.Walking in the Doomsday

Luther's face was hidden under the rabbit mask, and his expression could not be seen, but one could still hear a yearning attitude in his dull tone, as if he was yearning for something.

"I only saw one minute, a minute in which I tried my best. That was the future of a parallel world. The Kryptonians came to Metropolis and razed it to the ground until they were defeated by Superman." Luthor's eyes were bloodshot under the eye sockets of his mask.

"Is it really just a parallel world?" Valerie was a little disappointed. She thought it could be directly connected to Night City. If that were the case, many of her problems would not be problems anymore.

"I tried everything I could to reconnect with that world, but even I don't know how I did it." Luther's words seemed to be tinged with emotion again.

Originally, Lex Luthor's interest in Superman was only moderate. As a scientist and boss of a high-tech industry, he valued industries that could benefit mankind and make some money at the same time.

But that day he accidentally connected to a parallel world through a hacker access cabin. He wandered in the ruins of Metropolis in the form of a digital ghost, looking up at the Kryptonians' catastrophic battle.

The gods who were busy fighting were unable to fully care for the mortals. Countless victims were wailing, and the seemingly indestructible Lex Group building collapsed in front of them.

Luther wandered in the doomsday for a minute, and was then beaten back to his own world. At that time, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had crawled out of the water.

From then on, Luthor seemed like a different person, and his fear of superhumans was engraved deep in his heart. Although he himself was a human supremacist, this journey turned his inner disgust towards Superman into extreme resistance.

"I knew it. Even a good guy like Superman would have opponents marching and demonstrating. It must be you who are sponsoring them behind the scenes, right?" Valerie seemed to understand something.

"You don't understand. If Superman wants to kill us, we can only let him do it." Luthor's tone became heavier and heavier, and Valerie began to wonder if he was about to break free from hypnosis.

"This kind of rejection and opposition might turn him into the devil you fear, right?" Valerie asked puzzledly.

"That's why I said you don't understand. If this person insists on being a helpful Boy Scout, then he will encounter such pressure sooner or later. He is not a god and cannot control humans." Luther was already looking at Valerie.

He should have broken free from the hypnosis by his own will, but it didn't matter now. Valerie already knew all the secrets he had hidden in his heart.

"He can't be great forever. Sooner or later he will realize his omnipotence. If he has established unparalleled influence by then, it will be truly irreversible. It is better to let him become disheartened in advance and show his fangs!" Luther shouted excitedly.

Valerie was silent. She had always been infected by Superman's optimistic smile and his reliability like a mountain, but she had a concern about such a powerful man from the beginning.

If Superman turned evil and became corrupt, she couldn't imagine how she would survive under his pursuit.

But Valerie quickly turned the page on this topic in her heart. Superman's dark transformation only exists in a possible future. By then, there will still be superheroes like Batman to take over, so it should not be her turn as a mercenary to intervene.

Maybe.

Luther was still talking, the secret had been leaked during hypnosis, he simply gave up and told other details: "I originally just wanted to treat that trip as a nightmare, until two months ago, my private satellite really detected an unidentified alien spacecraft, I couldn't deceive myself anymore."

Holding the idea that a poor effect is better than nothing, Luthor secretly manipulated the government and the military through his long-prepared pawns to prepare joint military exercises in Metropolis Port, so that when the Kryptonians arrive, the disaster may be alleviated.

He also sent Superman's information to the Kryptonian spacecraft through the signal relay station, trying his best to make them land at the location he designated.

The box that the Suicide Squad got was the signal relay station, and the Kryptonians came here to track the signal from the relay station.

In Luthor's original plan, the Kryptonians would bring the transfer station to the spacecraft, and then hack into the cabin themselves using the transfer station's signal to directly hack into the Kryptonian spacecraft.

Unfortunately, there was a loophole in the plan. Superman arrived faster than expected, the transfer station has not been brought into the Kryptonian spacecraft yet, and Luthor also overturned the car in the computer room.

"I have one last question." Valerie pulled out the hacker access pod. "How can you be sure your plan will succeed? I don't remember this thing being able to hack into a spaceship."

"When you are sure that a disaster will happen, all preventive measures are a gamble." Luther raised his eyes and said, "And I used this thing to hack a drone fighter... It was the latest technology in the United States."

"Okay, but unfortunately I can't help you implement this plan." Valerie put the chip back into her pocket, took out a bunch of small balls again and threw them on the ground.

The balls rolled naturally and landed at the bottom of the computer hosts.

Then, blue lightning burst out, and the EMP engulfed several computer hosts closest to Valerie.

White smoke was coming out of the computer, and it was obviously close to being scrapped. Seeing the miserable state of the computer he had built with so much effort, Luther couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"This way you really have no backup plan... To be honest, installing a supercomputer in an aircraft carrier doesn't make sense at all." Valerie said with her hands in her pockets.

The Kryptonians have come to Earth, and according to Luthor, war is inevitable. In this case, it would be better to go out and think about what to do next.

"V." But just as Valerie was about to rub the props to pry open the blocked door, Luther spoke again. "You asked me so many questions, is it my turn to ask you?"

"You are a prisoner of war. You are not qualified."

"It's not a difficult thing for you to say... The floating window that I saw in my hallucination that allowed you to commit suicide, is it the real use of the chip?" Luther asked dully.

In his hallucination, he even used this thing to reach his hometown on Krypton.

"I can't see your hallucinations, so this question cannot be answered." Valerie shook her head.

"Really..." Luther groaned, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said to Valerie, "In the future I see, there is no trace of you."

"Huh?" Valerie raised an eyebrow and looked back.

"I don't know. You may have escaped? Or you may have been killed..." Luther stared at Valerie's pocket and thought of the chip that could connect to the parallel world. "Or maybe you are a unique variable that only exists in this world... This is ridiculous."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Let me retain a bit of naive fantasy. If you are really the unique variable, then I hope you can remember that the Kryptonian spaceship is the key." Luthor fell to the ground and tried his best to raise his head and said.

NO70. Conquest and plunder

Superman was suspended above the clouds like a slowly descending balloon, his eyes like astronomical cameras closely observing the tadpole-shaped black spaceship floating beneath his feet.

Three people wearing only tights stood together on the outer panel of the spacecraft. They looked up at the red cloak high in the sky, as if they were facing a god descending from the sky.

The yellow sun would theoretically cause harm to the Kryptonians' bodies. The three Kryptonians felt as if they were being swallowed by a curse. They felt dizzy and nauseous, and the world was changing at a high speed that was enough to cause dizziness in people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Superman did not take advantage of their poor condition to attack them. These were the last of his tribesmen he knew, and he hoped there was still room for recovery.

Seeing that the people led by Zod had finally stood firm and seemed to be able to communicate normally, Superman landed in front of them.

"Let's leave here, I think next door... Mars might be more suitable." As he said this, Superman looked up at the sky.

Zod looked at the two people behind him and said, "Norn, go debug the system of the spacecraft. We can try the plan now. Fiora, take the machine reserve team and clear the natives on the sea."

Compared to Zod, who had been exposed to the sun for a while, the two Kryptonians had not yet fully adapted, but they still stood up and saluted in a dizzy state: "Yes, sir."

The two Kryptonians jumped up as if they had vanished from the spot. Superman tried to chase them, but Zod was already in front of him, and he put his hands on Superman's shoulders and actually pushed him back to the ground.

"Do we have to fight each other?" Clark didn't find the pressure on his shoulder difficult to break free, but he finally felt the pressure.

"It is you who insists on going against us." Zod said coldly.

Superman always thought that he was very stubborn, but Zod in front of him made him truly understand what it meant to be inflexible. He sighed, then threw a powerful punch.

Zod quickly retracted his hands and crossed them in front of his face. Superman's fist hit his arm with such speed and force that it even created a sonic boom visible to the naked eye. Zod was blown away like a cannonball, across the entire spaceship.

Zod realized that he was about to fly over the spaceship and fall to the ground. As if by instinct, he twisted his feet, stopped the momentum of flying backwards, and floated in the air.

Even though he already knew that he had been strengthened to a similar degree, Superman's strength was still beyond Zod's imagination. He squinted his eyes and looked at Superman who was still floating in the air.

Superman's figure was originally just a small dot in his eyes, but as Zod squinted his eyes, the red cape seemed to be suddenly pulled closer and enlarged, causing Zod to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Superman hadn't rushed in front of him yet, but his eyes had zoomed like a telescope.

Zod is gradually getting familiar with his body, and as time goes on, he will become more and more difficult for Superman.

How naive.

He could have killed himself long ago, but he still held on to hope for reconciliation. If he continued like this, he would soon grow to be almost the same as him.

Logically speaking, in a life-and-death struggle, the enemy's meaningless mercy is a foolish weakness that should be exploited.

But when Zod looked at the son of his former friend, who might be the last member of his tribe to be born, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Carl! Put aside your weakness! You should have smashed my chest just now!" Zod roared at Superman who was flying towards him.

"Things can still be salvaged. I ask you to leave and just go to another planet to colonize it again, starting from scratch. I can do it with you." Clark's tone left no doubt. This would be his last request.

"You know what? Carl, even to us Kryptonians, you're a freak." One could even hear pride in Zod's tone, "Every Kryptonian has his or her lifetime responsibilities determined before birth, and I'm a natural born warrior... I was born to conquer and plunder!"

Roaring, Zod shot out like lightning and hit Superman head-on. This time, he did not stop abruptly like before, and Superman was carried away like a branch hanging on the bumper of a car.

The thunderous sound shook the sky, it was like a fight between gods.

...

On the sea where the joint military exercise was taking place, dozens of warships of various types were still arranged in an orderly manner, but the people on the ships were in chaos.

Nearly twenty minutes had passed since the sudden arrival of the alien spacecraft, and the spacecraft was still floating in the sky as if nothing had happened, but it had already stolen the limelight from the military exercise.

Without receiving orders from the command room, the soldiers on the warship did not move. Most of them stared at the sky with dull expressions, witnessing this scene worthy of being recorded in history.

I don’t know who noticed it first, but a small black dot shot out from the three connected spaceships like a bullet.

No one knew what it was until the black spot approached the sea surface and people could vaguely see that it was a human figure.

The figure changed its position in the air, as if trying to land on the ship, but with a sound of breaking through the air, the figure brushed past all the warships and fell straight into the sea, splashing huge water.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Until the sea surface, which had originally calmed down, was stirred up again, all the warships swayed like floating leaves on the water, and a huge whirlpool was stirred up on the sea surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if a critical point had been reached. A huge splash exploded on the sea surface, and a large group of black robots jumped out of the splash. Some fell onto the ship, and some fell into the sea. In any case, they were climbing onto the nearby warships at an agile speed.

"It's an enemy attack!" People finally realized that these aliens were not friendly, but some people had already been ripped open by the robots' attacks.

Fortunately, the soldiers participating in the military exercise were carrying real guns and ammunition, and their superiors quickly issued an order to organize a counterattack.

However, machine clones continued to emerge from the sea. Obviously, they were not just the ones that were blown out at the beginning. The dense number and constant replenishment were like a door opened on the seabed.

Just when the navy was still struggling to deal with the large number of clones, the sea surface began to shake again and a white sea column exploded again. Although no one had time to watch the excitement this time, they still noticed the black figure that appeared in the water.

Fiora was suspended in the air, and the splashing water fell around her like rain, but did not leave any traces of moisture on her body.

"I see..." Fiora raised her arm and looked at it thoughtfully, "It seems like there is something surrounding my body?"

After briefly familiarizing herself with her abilities, she shifted her gaze to the cruiser closest to her, then pushed off her feet.

Accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, the steel-made warship was shattered into pieces as if it had been struck by lightning.

NO71. People who can transform and disguise

In the command room of the South Boston, the white-haired General Ryan sat in his office chair, looking gloomily at the other officers in the room who were in a state of panic.

The alien spacecraft dropped from the sky less than half an hour ago, but the attack broke out within 3 minutes, and the noise of war could be heard even here.
