Chapter 453 68. You must have never imagined the reason why Luther chose to establish the Legion of Doom
"Buzz"
The Speed Force broke through dimensional obstacles and quietly opened a revolving door in Gotham City's Crime Alley.
Xiao Shen was the first to run out, panting, holding his knees and retching several times.
Don't get me wrong, he was not tired from running, but took the initiative to see the speed machine made by the Isu Hermes. The result of this experience was that Barry Allen rarely ran out of power.
The Isu's machine was very impressive, and what was even more rare was that the other person's understanding of the concepts of time and speed opened the eyes of the Speedman.
He felt like he learned something again today, great!
Mason and Ms. Cassandra, who was dragging her suitcase and carrying hot tea, slowly walked out of the gate of time and space. He was about to introduce the city to Ms. Cass when he suddenly heard a gunshot coming from the street.
All right.
This is everyday life in Gotham City.
"You go about your business."
Sister Ka took a sip of tea and dragged her suitcase towards the alley at the other end. As she walked, she said:
"I don't need a guide or a specially arranged meeting, I will observe the world in my own way, and this city that exudes a sense of decadence reminds me of Pompeii.
I definitely have a lot of fun here. ”
"I have to find a place for you to stay. It's easy for a new lady to get into trouble if she wanders around Gotham. Even staying in a hotel in this city is very risky.
Especially a charming single woman like you. ”
Mason curled his lips, took out a VIP card for the Afterlife Bar and threw it over. He reminded Sister Card:
"This bar is our base of operations. In addition, the gangsters in the city should not move around casually. Some of them are our people."
"Understood."
Cassandra took the card and waved to Mason, then turned around and disappeared. She must have activated some special ability of the Isu bloodline and entered a state of invisibility in broad daylight.
"Are you and this powerful big sister really of the same blood?"
After recovering, Xiao Shen looked Mason up and down, then turned away to clean up the gang members who were having a fight at the corner of the street. He also got himself a pizza and a milkshake. When he returned to Mason, he started to complain:
"Ms. Cassandra can do almost everything with Isu blood, but you are much worse."
"Nonsense, people have lived for more than two thousand years, and I am only 18 years old this year."
Mason rolled his eyes, picked up a slice from Xiao Shen's pizza box, rolled it up, put it in his mouth, and said to him:
"When you're full, open the door and go home. There's still a lot of things waiting for me to do at Osborne Tower."
While he was talking, another reminder appeared on the character card in front of Mason. His tailoring and jewelry processing skills had been upgraded to another level. It seemed that everyone in Mason's manufacturing team was not lazy.
While Flash was eating and drinking, Mason looked at his character card.
His current character information is well-organized, which makes people feel very comfortable. It is much better than his previous whiteboard posture.
The most important thing is that because of the day and night work of the "Mason Manufacturing Group", he finally has no obvious shortcomings and finally achieved the legendary comprehensive development of "moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor".
Although only three skills, alchemy, engineering and first aid, have entered the master-level field now, he feels that if he gives the "Mason Manufacturing Group" some more time, he will soon become a full-professional master.
"Mason, do you think all the undercover agents in our world have been caught?"
Xiao Shen suddenly asked after taking the last sip of the milkshake. His expression under the mask was a little worried, and he obviously had his own answer in his heart. Faced with this question, Mason didn't even bother to answer.
He lit a cigarette, blew out smoke rings in Crime Alley and said:
"I've said it before, the existence of the Awakened is a social problem across the universe.
As long as there are losers and people with unsatisfactory lives in a world, there will definitely not be a small number of people who take the initiative to surrender when faced with big things.
Don't hold on to the illusion that all the scum will be cleaned up, Barry, you see, the master never thinks of things so well.
Let me tell you, at this moment, maybe those bastards who have secretly flirted with the stars are hiding in a meeting somewhere to discuss how to kill us.
Their methods will only be crazier and more unlimited than those of Qunxing. After all, as we all know, the Japanese Japs are always more cruel.
Okay, let's go. Instead of spending time worrying about whether they can succeed, it's better to improve yourself more. Your cosmic treadmill needs to continue to be modified. You have to find a way to create a semi-permanent space-time tunnel before the war begins. ”
"Got it."
Barry nodded and assumed a running posture in the alley again. The next moment, the tunnel leading to Osborne Tower was opened again.
Mason took one last look at Gotham, threw away his cigarette butt, and strode inside.
——
Mason's guess about the traitors and the Japanese was absolutely correct.
Although their previous actions in Khandak destroyed the Green Church of All Things and successfully defeated Black Adam, who had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, this actually did not have much impact on the "capitulationist forces" in this world.
Just as Mason returned to Osborn Tower, in a large natural park next to the metropolitan area where Superman was absent but seemed calm, in a hidden secret place in the swamp terrain area, Doomsday The third meeting of the Legion is being held as scheduled.
The reason why it is called this is that on the one hand, this secret group was indeed established because of doomsday-related events, and on the other hand, the name also represents the identity of the members of the organization.
A group of super villains who are eager to overthrow the existing order, a group of thugs who want to see the end of justice, and a group of bastards who are incompatible with superheroes.
They felt that adding the word "DOOM" to the group's name would make them look very powerful.
Well, yes, the name was voted on internally, which is ridiculous.
Lex Luthor, dressed in a suit and ties, was standing imposingly in front of a lookout window of the Legion of Doom headquarters with his hands behind his back. The headquarters was built with special technology so that the outside world could not monitor it, and their internal activities could also be monitored. Effective protection.
But Laitu's mood was not as calm as his cold expression at this moment.
He was in a bad mood right now.
Not only because his Superman kidnapping plan failed completely, but also because Laitu just filed for bankruptcy yesterday.
His Lex Group fell into a vicious cycle due to a broken capital chain. After struggling to support it for more than half a month, it finally chose to close its doors. Its high-quality assets have been divided up by the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group, although the money for selling the assets was just right. The shortfall was made up, but Laitu's life-long career finally evaporated.
He is a villain with quite a sense of morality. He almost left the house after using his last bit of money to pay severance pay to his employees. But luckily, Laitu still has half of a great villain under his identity as a conscientious entrepreneur. Secret identity.
The ownership of the secret base where he is currently belongs to him.
So look at Lai Bald, even if he goes bankrupt, he is still one of the richest people in the world.
"You look like you're in a bad mood, Luther."
A charming voice with a hint of danger sounded from behind Laitu. A tall villain lady wearing a "leopard print" tights, full of some kind of weird temptation, but actually having a cheetah head, walked quietly in cat steps. Appear around the corner.
She waggled her tail and approached Luther, and said with a hint of provocation and sarcasm:
"What? The thief who stole all your wealth hasn't been caught yet?"
"How to catch it?"
Luther said angrily:
"He didn't even use any hacking program. He logged into several of my bank accounts according to the normal process, entered the correct password, and passed multiple encryptions including fingerprints, iris and even DNA detection. He was able to log in within a few minutes without any problems. I transferred my property to another account in my name
All operations are in compliance with the law, and there is nothing fishy about them. The most perfect theft is carried out in this most common way.
Do you know what this means? ”
Laitu narrowed his eyes and said:
"Either I went crazy, fell for a wire fraud, and handed my money over to a group of scammers.
Either I transferred my own money and deposited it in ‘my’ name, the money is still my money, it is still in the bank and has not been stolen by anyone.
That's if I can get them out. ”
"You talk like you're crazy."
Leopard Girl curled her lips.
She wrapped her tail around Lai Tu's wrist and said:
"But you're still conscious, so I guess you already know what's going on, right? I would be really desperate if the leader of the secret society I just joined was a hopeless lunatic."
"Humph, of course I know why."
Laitu stared at himself reflected in the mirror in front of him. Under his bald head was the face of a slightly tired middle-aged man. He shook off the leopard girl's tail on his wrist and whispered:
"Someone brought another me from another world, and another Luthor launched a shameless sneak attack on me. He stole my success, my status and my wealth.
He thought he could defeat me this way!
Don't even think about it!
Don't even think about it!
I will take back the things that were taken away one by one. How ridiculous! Who would have thought that one of the reasons Lex Luthor was forced to join the Legion of Doom would be bankruptcy and destitution?
Is everyone here? ”
Luther asked casually, Leopard Girl nodded and said:
"Everyone is here, including the representatives of the Sky Eye Society."
"Very good."
A cruel smile appeared on Laitu's face, he stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and returned to the Legion of Doom's conference hall below the ground with Leopard Girl.
This dim place is in line with the temperament that a major villain should have. The overall lighting is dim but not too dark, allowing people to see the side faces of the participants and the thick shadows wrapped on their faces and bodies.
But there are no outside forces here!
The people sitting here are all the super villains of this world, and they are all famous ones, not second-rate or third-rate minnows.
Luther stood on the main seat and looked around.
From his left side sat Leopard Girl, Gorilla Grodd, Sinestro, the fearful yellow light, Black Manta, the scourge of the sea, and the last mysterious man who made up to hide his figure.
This is the representative of the Sky Eye Society and the messenger of Amanda Waller.
However, the seats around the round table were not full, and there were still several chairs waiting for their owners.
"Everyone, let's discuss the next plan of action."
Luther didn't have a long speech. He knocked on the table and said to the leaders and villains he carefully selected who are capable and tactically minded:
"The Warlock's envoy has just left our world. He announced to us that a doomsday operation will begin soon. I have informed everyone of everything that will happen to this world. This is another option!
We are not evil”
Luther paused, and in the darkness, he said:
"We just don't believe that leaving everything to the Justice League is the right choice. We are also a part of the world and naturally have the right to choose our future.
Now that the skeleton of the Legion of Doom has been built, the next thing to do is to expand rapidly. I have a plan that can help us select suitable organizational members, and I decided to execute it in three days.
We're heading to Gotham! ”
Luther reached out and opened a holographic projection, spinning the map of Gotham City on the table, marking Arkham Asylum with a red mark.
He said:
"In this extremely evil place, we can always find like-minded partners. The only regret is that the most dazzling crime prince among them has fallen.
But it doesn’t matter, we still have many options.
Free them!
Announce to them the existence of the Legion of Doom and tell them that there are still several leadership positions left for them. They also have their own tasks that must be completed to be eligible to join us. ”
"Is this the stupid thing you called us here for?"
Sinestro, the lamp of fear, sneered. The alien felt that he was wasting time. Wearing a yellow suit, he said:
"It was you who told me that there were two Green Lanterns on Earth, so I came here across the vast sea of stars, Luther! What you are saying now is completely different from what you announced.
If you need minions, the Yellow Lantern Corps has plenty of Lanterns to serve you! But I don't want to waste any more time. ”
"Calm down, my Lord of Fear."
Luther smiled, coughed and glanced at the messenger of the Sky Eye Society, and said:
"Releasing the prisoners in Arkham is just a cover-up. Our real target in Gotham is the agent of the Black Power of Decay, and it is hiding there.
You have seen the power of the Green of All Things and the Red of All Living Things before, and I believe that the host of the Black of Decay will not disappoint us either.
Be patient, Lord Sinestro.
I promise you that after this operation, you will see with your own eyes a paradise filled with war and fear, and I promise you that you will never leave empty-handed! ”
As he spoke, Luthor released a video that had just been taken. In the video, two Green Lanterns in completely different costumes were working together to rescue a burning building in Beach City.
When the Lord of the Fearful Yellow Lantern saw the Green Lantern wearing the Will Armor, his eyes bloomed with a captivating cold light. He stroked his little goatee and said:
"Very good, I'm looking forward to instilling the power of fear into the mind of this strange new friend. I have a feeling that his appearance will give me hope of defeating the Green Lantern Corps."
"Lastly it's you!"
Luther comforted his team members, looked up at the messenger directly opposite him, and said bluntly and without shame:
"Go back and tell Amanda Waller that the Skrulls' lurking operations in this world under her responsibility were quite unsuccessful. Except for those who were beheaded by the Assassin's League, all the remaining green-skinned bastard aliens are missing.
This is a terrible hidden danger, and I need her to give me an explanation!
In addition, prepare enough suicide squads. We will be very, very busy next time. We will accept high-quality cannon fodder from the Sky Eye Society. ”
"I will bring your word."
Amanda Waller’s messenger nodded, and then asked:
"But Waller also has a question for you, Luther. Who else are the secret members of the Legion of Doom besides the recently dead Swamp Thing and the missing Black Adam?
She knew there was more to us than meets the eye. ”
"Then please tell her."
Luther slapped the table and said:
"Prying into too many secrets is harmful to her health! She will know when it's time to let her know. Don't say I don't respect her. I respect any valuable life.
But if you want to earn my respect, please show enough value first.
I need the drawings and parameters of the watchtower space station. I have been waiting for a week. I don't want to wait any longer. I will give you another week.
Sorry if I can't see the drawing yet"
Laitu snorted, and amid the sneers of the other villains, he said:
"There is no place for you on the Legion of Doom's ark sailing to the other shore!" (End of Chapter)
