I want to have a date with Superman

Bateman looked carefully at Harley's microexpressions and eyes.

On the surface, there's nothing wrong with it, it's normal.

But he vaguely felt that her temperament at this time was a little inconsistent with herself.

"Are you really okay? Madam Xanadu has explained your situation to us in detail. Your cultivation method is very evil. That thought was completely assimilated by Sage Aoqi. Assimilation is the ultimate form of magic power, right?"

"I am currently doing two things. Only one of my thoughts is controlling my body to talk to you. Ninety-nine percent of my mental power is actively integrating the assimilated thought. There may be some changes in my breath." Harley said.

"Xanadu said that even if you use this evil method to absorb other people's experiences, it will be difficult to understand the laws related to fate. Besides, except for a few friends who are familiar with you, other divination masters are unwilling to let you steal their practices.

Since this road is destined to fail, it's better not to bother. I feel that you have become a little abnormal. "Baitman said worriedly.

"I'm fine. The current strange aura is because I deliberately imitated Sage Aoqi from the soul level in order to better understand her feeling during divination. You don't need to worry about me, everything is under my control .”

Of course there are side effects to voluntarily giving up the sovereignty of your own thoughts and letting them be assimilated by others.

But now it's 2024, and a full year has passed since the final crisis. How long can Sandman Morpheus last?

Harley still remembers what the second sister of death said to her last time: Morpheus's time is running out.

At this time of urgency, let alone some side effects, even if she is given the "Evil Sword Manual", she still has to practice it!

"You two come to me together. Is there another big crisis or event on the earth?"

Despite asking this question, Harley's expression was very relaxed, without any tension or anxiety.

Dachao said: "Zod became a god. He not only awakened his divinity, but also condensed his divinity that day. Divinity is related to commanders and leaders. His divinity is very strong and should have reached the level of the dark elite.

If Darkseid was still around, and if he was willing to join Darkseid's command, Zod would now be able to become a powerful Dark Elite. "

"Xanadu's family has access to the Internet, and she also watched the live broadcast of the banquet where Zod became a god. Although I don't pay much attention to Zod's news, I still know the basic information." Harley said.

Bateman asked: "Why was Zod so quickly recognized by the will of Apokolips? Is it related to Superman's restart of the fifth world? Kryptonians also have the destiny to ascend to godhood?"

"Judging from the current results, this should be the case."

When she first heard the news from Xanadu that Zod had become a god, Harley was also surprised for a while.

When she thought of the dual identity of Da Chao who activated the miracle machine, she was immediately relieved.

No matter how much Dachao identifies with his earthly identity, the fact that he has Kryptonian blood in his body cannot be denied.

In fact, Leo, the God of Krypton, has always regarded Superman as the representative of Kryptonian civilization.

She looked at Dachao and said: "When you were killed by Doomsday, the Kryptonian god Ruio also sent an envoy, the Eradicator 'Cold Face', to resurrect you with the life matrix.

Leo said that you are the last Kryptonian. Of course, that guy is talking nonsense. Even excluding the city of Kandor which was still in a 'frozen' state at that time, your cousin is still floating in outer space, Zod and his followers are in the Phantom Zone, Kui There is also a 'Dark Warrior' serving me in Yin Manor.

Ruiou's life matrix can even give ordinary earthlings Kryptonian genes and a body of steel.

As long as He is willing, He can immediately create a new Kryptonian civilization.

I estimate that the 'Life Code' that you regard as a treasure can only be regarded as an ordinary collection by Him.

But He insists that you are the last Kryptonian and the hope for the continuation of Kryptonian civilization.

The Kryptonian pantheon headed by Ruiou and Rao obviously regards you as the representative of Kryptonian civilization, or even the incarnation of the entire Kryptonian civilization.

Since you are the incarnation of the Kryptonian civilization, your restart of the fifth world will of course also bring the destiny of ascension to godhood to the Kryptonians in Kandor City. "

At this point, Harley couldn't help but crack her mouth and smiled a bit evilly, "But I guess this situation is not what Ruiou wants to see."

"Why does Ruiou not want Zod and the others to become gods?" Dachao asked curiously.

"It's not that we don't want them to become gods. If Zod can cultivate into a 'spiritual wizard' by his own ability, that is, a traditional old god, Ruio and Rao will probably come in person and open the door to heaven to welcome him warmly.

But the new gods belong to the ‘public’ and have nothing to do with the Kryptonian god system.

It is equivalent to a talented college student in the United States getting an offer from a prestigious university in Lann and choosing to join the nationality of Lannxing after studying for master's and doctoral degrees in Lannxing.

If only one or two American geniuses join Lann, it will actually be beneficial to the United States - it will be conducive to cultural and technological exchanges between the two civilizations, and more American students will receive full scholarships to Lann University.

But if all American talents go to Lann, not to mention the serious loss of talent, it will lead to the collapse of the American national foundation.

When a large number of Lann people of American origin form an ethnic group, or even a nation, the ‘Lann American nation’ may replace the destiny of the United States itself. "

Bateman thoughtfully said, "If all the Kryptonians join the new god race, first of all, the Kryptonian pantheon will lose its roots of belief.

The old gods need the power of faith, and losing faith will shake the foundation of the god system.

The gods of Krypton are all old gods and require faith.

Secondly, if the Kryptonians set up another branch on Apokolips and form a new Kryptonian god race, the Kryptonian god system will lose the meaning of its existence if it is seriously homogenized with it. "

Then he turned to look at Da Chao and said in a strange tone: "Is the Eradicator Coldface Al still in the Fortress of Solitude? Maybe we can use Ruio and Rao to prevent the Kryptonians from ascending collectively.

The Eradicator Leng Lian is Rui O's messenger and can definitely send a message to Rui Ou.

If Leo or Rao issued an oracle, the Kryptonians in Kandor City would probably obey it, right? "

The Eradicator originally had no name. Seeing that his face was always cold and expressionless, and his tone was as calm as ice water, Harley named him "Cold Face Al".

He never called himself Grim Al, but after Hallie named him through Louise's special series, everyone called him Grim Al.

"Leng Lian left. He left quietly without notifying me. I don't know if he was unhappy or was summoned by Ruiou and left before the final crisis."

Dachao was a little embarrassed, he actually quite liked the cold face of the Eradicator.

Leng Lian doesn't talk much but is very capable. He always carries out the tasks assigned by him meticulously. Sometimes he will ask him for Kryptonian knowledge and culture. Leng Lian is knowledgeable and knows everything, which helps him a lot.

"Harley, can you go to the Heaven Realm to find Ruio?" Bateman turned his attention to Harley.

"I can't, and I don't want to." Harley refused flatly, "I haven't even stopped mankind from ascending as a collective, so why should I stop the Kryptonians?

Who am I and what is my position?

Even if I find Ruiou, Ruiou is willing to accompany Zod and the others?

Ruiou and Rao are also old gods, and they will also face a magic debt crisis.

If you can't even save your own life, how can you still care about the mortals who believe in them?

The key is that mortals are disobedient, but Fanzord has some sincere respect for Ruiou and Rao. He doesn't need our persuasion at all, he will be hesitant and apprehensive.

Now he has also become a god. The dark elite is equivalent to the main god, and Ruio is not yet the main god.

Why should the weak convince the strong to believe in themselves? "

"Harley, do you think the Dark Elite can remain indifferent as a large number of Kryptonians become gods?" Bateman asked.

Harley shook her head, "The Dark Elite will take action sooner or later. Zod becoming a god can only stimulate them, making them react more intensely and use more cruel methods."

"If there were a fight, who would win?" Bateman asked again.

Harley glanced at him, "The answer is obvious, but if someone is really destined to explode in battle, the outcome is really uncertain."

"What's so obvious? Why do I think the situation on Apokolips is so confusing?" Mrs. Xanadu interjected.

Bateman sighed: "Although Luthor's gang is the attacker and has been unstoppable, liberating slave camps one after another, the initiative in the battle is always in the hands of the dark elite.

The dark elite sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and can decide when and on what scale to launch a decisive battle.

When they choose to take action against the Luther Army, they must have the right time, place, and people.

Therefore, in theory, the Dark Elite is guaranteed to win.

However, Luthor and Zod are not fools, and they are ready to withdraw from the material universe at any time.

When the enemy comes, I run; when the enemy is stationed, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue him.

They never thought about having sex with the dark elite.

But the Dark Elite are not stupid. They should be able to guess Luther and Zod's plans. Even if they can't guess, the Dark Elite will definitely send spies deep into the "Legion of Hope and Freedom".

In order to boost morale, Luther did not hide his "Apocalypse Strategy" from the mercenary captains under his command.

He even invited the Pentagon generals to help him perfect the tactics of "running away when the enemy comes" and the grand strategy of "surrounding the Dark King's City with slave camps".

How could it be possible that the dark elite could hide the news that even the generals of the United States knew? "

"Luthor is finished." Mrs. Xanadu said firmly.

Harley and the two heroes looked at her in confusion.

Mrs. Shandu said: "Even if I don't understand military affairs, I know that Luther is using the tactics and strategies of the Chinese people.

He didn't invite people from China to serve as his staff, but instead asked those guys at the Pentagon who only knew how to "convince people with force" to design tactics. Isn't this just trying to make ends meet? "

Bateman shook his head and said: "Who will be the staff officer is not the key factor affecting the success or failure of the Luther Army."

If someone else from the Chinese Dynasty could be sure of victory, they wouldn't come to Harley because they were too worried.

Mrs. Xanadu frowned and said: "You will say that Luther is not stupid. He knew that he was no match for the dark elite. He never thought about having sex with them, and the tactics he formulated were very cautious.

After a while, he said that the dark elite are not stupid. They know that Luther is very cautious and will definitely formulate tactics against Luther's army.

Since they are both cautious and smart, what are the key factors that influence the final outcome? What do you expect from Harley? "

Bateman raised his chin towards Harley, "The key factor is her! The basis of Luther's strategy of 'retreat when the enemy comes' is not that this tactic is clever enough to reverse the gap in strength.

But this tactic can use Harley's reputation and power to protect himself to the greatest extent.

The reason for the dark elite's careful planning is to avoid direct conflict with Harley as much as possible.

Whether the various calculations and thoughts of both parties can succeed depends entirely on Harley's personal attitude. "

"The future of the old and new protoss, the new humans and the new protoss of Krypton, the future of the three protoss is completely determined by Harley's trivial thought." Madam Xanadu felt surprised and incredible at first, but then she thought of Harley's current strength. , could only sigh, "It feels so dreamy. The little girl who came to me to learn the most unpromising cost magic has become the most influential person in the multiverse."

"You are too homely. If you walked around the magic circle more, you would have been accustomed to my greatness and supremacy." Harley smiled a little proudly.

Madam Xanadu rolled her eyes at her, "No matter what others think of you, I can't feel the slightest bit of greatness and supremeness in you."

"Hehe, this further proves my unfathomability. A dragon can be big or small. It can ascend or hide. If it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist. If it is small, it can hide and hide. What you are facing now is a real dragon that is in the state of hiding. ." Harley said.

Madam Xanadu didn't want to hear her shit anymore, so she turned to the two superheroes and said, "Harley has no interest in Zod, Luther, or the Dark Elite. There is no need for them to care about her attitude."

Harley has been practicing divination at her house these days, and she knows very well Harley's attitude towards news related to the Lutheran Legion: no attitude at all, and not interested at all.

"This is exactly why we came here. We hope you can pay attention to the fate of the new gods of mankind." Dachao looked at Harley with worried eyes and said: "Mr. Miracle has already issued a warning to us, and the dark elite will soon make a big move. .

Bateman also guessed based on the intelligence collected by all parties that the time for a head-on conflict between the Luther Legion and the Dark Elite would soon come.

I know that you declared as early as the collective ascension that you will be responsible for life and death after ascension.

But the war really broke out, millions of Kryptonians, tens of millions of new human gods, hundreds of millions of Apocalypse slaves——"

Harley raised her hand to interrupt him and said: "No matter how many people there are, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you. You must learn to respect the fate of others, and don't be too arrogant, as if you should save all life in the world."

Bateman said solemnly: "Not to mention the multiverse, there are countless civilized planets in the main universe alone.

Countless innocent people, even kind people, are harmed every moment on those planets.

Even if we adhere to the concept of justice, we will not be troubled by this and do not feel that their death is our responsibility.

But if death happens right in front of their eyes, they can reach out and help them, and no normal person should stand by and watch. "

"Have you ever thought that helping those new dark gods who long for divine power is a great injustice to the honest and responsible people on earth?

If you fail, you don't have to pay any price. If you succeed, you will become a god in one step, with endless lifespan and infinite power.

Then why did we persuade ordinary people not to ascend in the first place? asked Harley.

Bateman sighed: “We don’t expect you to protect everyone, nor do we expect everyone to be intact.

If Hope and the Free Corps are defeated and you need to save their lives, they will have suffered heavy casualties.

By then they had paid a huge price. "

Mrs. Shandu said: "Since the Justice League has not thought about saving everyone, then you should try your best to save people. Those who can enter the earth alive will naturally have no worries about their lives.

Those who die on the way back will be counted as the price they paid for their greed. "

Bateman glanced at her first, then turned to Harley, with a hint of worry in his deep voice, "I doubt that after the Dark Elite actually takes action, they will have no chance of entering the solar system, let alone returning to Earth."

This worry was the main reason why he came to Harley.

If there were just heavy losses, the Justice League would try their best to rescue them, and would also default to the fact that this was the price of choosing to ascend. But tens of millions of people were wiped out, which was too tragic.

"Oh, why do you say that? What news did you receive, and what are the dark elites planning to do?" Mrs. God asked curiously.

Bateman shook his head and said, "It's just my own hunch."

Dachao added: "We know they have big plans, but we don't know their specific plans."

"It's just a hunch." Mrs. Xanadu looked at Harry and said, "How about you help them divine again?"

"No point." Harley shook her head.

She is now at the level of a charlatan, and she can predict the fate of ordinary people, and even the future of ordinary people's families, with an accuracy of 60 to 70%.

If you divine the destiny of a country or a nation, the picture you see will be very vague and cannot be interpreted, so you can only rely on guessing.

"Let's go." She said to the two heroes of the alliance: "The fate of the new Protoss has nothing to do with me. You can directly convey my words and my attitude to everyone, including Zod, Luther and the Dark Elite.

Sometimes if we interfere too deeply, we will make them sink deeper and deeper, which ultimately does no good to anyone. "

"You don't need to do much, just show up when the time comes." Dachao said.

Bateman patted his shoulder and said softly: "Let's go."

"Why don't you continue to persuade Harley? Aren't you very optimistic about the future of the Luther Legion?" After leaving Xanadu's house, Dachao complained to Bateman.

"Harley is right. The more she interferes, the deeper we will sink. Expressing your attitude directly and insisting on not changing can break their illusions and make them clearer and more rational." Bateman sighed. road.

Dachao frowned and said: "Do you think that after conveying Harley's attitude to Luther and Zod, they will give up their plan to 'surround the Dark King's City with slave camps and eventually unify Apokolips'?"

"Probably not. Except for death and the complete loss of hope, no one can stop their desire to become gods now, not even Luther and Zod."

"If the spies of the Dark Elite find out about Harley's attitude, will they immediately take action against the Luther Army? Will the methods be more cruel and unscrupulous?" Dachao asked worriedly.

Bateman continued to shake his head, "Probably not. Everyone knows that Witch Harley is insidious and cunning. Most of the information that they can find out is bait. They will only be more cautious and not dare to act recklessly."

Dachao smiled bitterly, "Is this good news?"

Bateman raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, with a calm and powerful look in his eyes, and said: "Harley is just the last insurance, it doesn't mean that we can't do anything without her.

Our Justice League is also very powerful and has enough power to fight against the conspiracy of the dark elite. "

Dachao nodded heavily, "No matter what Harley chooses, or what Luther and Zod choose, it will not affect us."

The day after returning to Metropolis, Da Chao met with Zod again and told him the results of their conversation with Harley.

Zod didn't say anything at the time and looked very calm.

"If Ruiou and Rao issued an oracle to prohibit Kryptonians from entering Apokolips, would you listen?" Dachao asked before leaving.

"The real Ruiou and Rao will only stand on the side of the people." Zod deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "real".

The meaning is obvious, Ruio and Rao who oppose them becoming gods must be fakes and deceptions of false gods, and should be beaten to death by their Kryptonian warriors.

Dachao took a deep look at him, stopped wasting any more words, and flew directly into the sky.

After he left, Zod immediately found Luthor and repeated Dachao's words, only hiding the content about the Kryptonian God.

"Do you think Superman lied?" Zod asked seriously.

Luthor asked, "Do you think Superman can lie?"

"I'm not sure. Although everyone says he has perfect morals and is like a sage, I haven't been with him for long," Zod said.

Luthor pondered: "Superman probably won't lie on this matter, but Harley's words may not necessarily represent her true thoughts. She is a veteran talker."

"Are you saying she's telling the truth and bluffing us?" Zedd asked.

Luther shook his head slightly, "Although she often lies, she can indeed be indifferent and indifferent to life and death.

Don’t think that just because she’s more famous than the Justice League, that she’s a greater superhero.

In essence, she is on the same page as us. "

"Then what does she mean?" Zod asked doubtfully.

Luther smiled: "I never expected her to take the initiative to help us, she is not that kind of person.

From the beginning, my plan was to use the new human god to drag the Justice League into the water, and eventually the Justice League would definitely drag her into the water.

It doesn’t matter what she’s thinking, we just need to get a handle on the Justice League.

Facing Harley, I don't have any confidence.

But when it comes to figuring out the Justice League, I’m an expert! "

"So, what should we do now?" Zod frowned.

"The storm is about to come. The Justice League feels it, and I can feel it too." Luther looked out the window at the unobstructed night view of the metropolis, and said quietly: "The Dark Elite is preparing a fatal killing situation for us. We All you can do is try to improve your own strength.

We are not fighting against the Dark Elite.

As long as we can escape completely within the solar system under the encirclement and suppression of the Dark Elite, we will win. "

Zod said: "So, if the Dark Elite has any killer move, it must make it too late for us to open the sonic boom channel, or have no chance to enter the sonic boom channel?"

Luther said with certainty: "It is impossible for the Dark Elite to prevent us from opening the sonic boom channel, because they do not have any authority over our mother box."

Zod thought for a while, but he still couldn't think of any obvious loopholes in Luther's escape plan.

"Let's try to improve our strength. No matter what conspiracy they have, as long as we are strong enough, we won't be unable to escape," he sighed.

Superman can survive in Limbo without a Mother Box, and can even return directly from Limbo to the main universe.

If the Kryptonian warriors can master Superman's Limbo survivability, they can fly directly out of Apokolips even if the sonic boom tunnel cannot be opened.

Entering Limbo from Apokolips, and then returning to the main universe from Limbo.

Thinking of this, Zod suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "Luthor, I want two million Kryptonian warriors to be soaked in the magma of Apokolips.

If they can absorb the original energy of Apokolips from the magma, they will realize divinity faster. "

He was able to become the first Kryptonian to become a god, and the lava bath was indispensable.

Ever since he learned that Dachao obtained his godhead of power while soaking in the magma of Apokolips, Zod would go deep into the crater of Apokolips almost every day, plunge into the magma, and absorb "solar energy" from the energy of the earth's fire.

He clearly feels that every time he absorbs magma energy, not only will his strength improve to a certain extent, but he will also become more adaptable to the environment of Apokolips, feeling as if he is "going home".

After condensing his godhead and becoming the true new god of darkness, he understood that the comfort of returning home was not an illusion.

That was the will of Apokolips gradually accepting him.

"At the beginning, I suggested that you Kryptonians soak in the magma of Apokolips, but except for you, other Kryptonians cannot bear the pain of being burned by the earth's fire. If you insist on it forcefully, I'm afraid it will be burned into charcoal." Luther said.

Although he was jealous that Zod had condensed his godhood earlier than him, he sincerely hoped that the Kryptonians could quickly improve their strength.

The stronger a Kryptonian is and the more he can attract the hatred of the Dark Elite, the safer he himself will be.

He provides the mother boxes used by the Kryptonians, and he also has the means to restrain them.

In fact, as long as baby Darkseid is alive, there will be no fundamental conflict of interest between him and the Kryptonians.

So after the Kryptonians joined the "Legion of Hope and Freedom", he suggested that they learn from Superman and also soak in the magma pools of Apokolips.

It's a pity that even the Injustice Superman couldn't withstand the burning of body cells by the energy of Apokolips. Kryptonians don't have the fate of the protagonist of "Superman", so they can't bear it even more.

The unjust Superman can still grit his teeth and hold on for a while.

If they try to be brave, their skin and flesh will be melted and they will lose their lives in the end.

"You also said that the storm is about to come. Rather than being beaten to death by the dark elite because of lack of strength, it is better to work hard to improve your strength.

Of course, I also understand that when manpower is limited, not everyone can have the iron will like me.

What I mean is that you helped build an instrument to separate the 'poisonous fire' that harmed the cells of Kryptonian warriors from the earth's fire magma, leaving only the pure New God energy of Apokolips that can be absorbed harmlessly.

Don't worry, the Kryptonian scientists headed by Zoel will fully cooperate with you, and the resources of Kandor City can be used at your disposal. " Zod said.

He asked Luthor to help because he was not superstitious about Luthor's "smartest brain in the multiverse".

In fact, he didn't think Luthor was any smarter than Krypton's chief scientist.

But when it comes to understanding the original power of Apokolips, all Kryptonians combined cannot compare to the former "Lord of Apokolips."

Before losing his godhead, Luther was the incarnation of Apokolips' will!

Luther did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Energy will also be extracted from the earth fire during the demon-like transformation process. Maybe we can carry out a special 'Kryptonian new deity transformation' for you."

In just three days, Luther successfully built a "biological energy capsule" based on the demon-like factory that could assist Kryptonian warriors in absorbing earth-fire energy.

All two million Kryptonian warriors have undergone "new deification transformation."

It is said to be a transformation, but it is actually soaking in an energy chamber to absorb the energy of Kryptonian earth fire, allowing the cells in the body to complete a completely reborn evolution.

Their bodies of steel are significantly more powerful.

In the past, Kryptonian warriors who could reach 90 points of physical fitness were very rare.

Even if you enter the Apocalypse Star, the frequency will not exceed 100, and the physical limit of the God Realm is 120 points.

Now their average physique value has increased by about 10 points. In the material universe, it can reach 90+, which is similar to Da Chao. In the divine realm, it exceeds 100 points and is close to 110 points, far exceeding the average physical level of the new god of darkness.

At this time, they have not even condensed their divinity, have no godhead, and are not the new gods of darkness.

In addition to the physical enhancement, the most obvious change among the Kryptonian warriors is that they have an inexplicable affinity for Apokolips.

Apokolips is like a burning coal ball, and its natural environment is so harsh that it is comparable to hell.

The Kryptonians are not as incapable of surviving in the heat as the New Gods were, but they certainly don't like it.

But now they are beginning to feel "home" to Apokolips.

"Since the destruction of Krypton, I have never had such a strong sense of belonging on another planet." Commander Gore said with a complicated expression.

He knew that Apokolips was not Krypton, but he couldn't control his emotions.

Zod said excitedly: "This means that you have been recognized by the will of Apokolips. I guess you should be considered a new race of gods, just like those new human gods without divine power or divinity."

Zod's guess was correct.

In a secret underground laboratory on Apokolips, Desaad stared at the complex data on the big screen and said with a smile: "Kryptonians indeed have the destiny to transform into a new race of gods. Two million Kryptonians entered Apokolips." , more than half have been recognized by the origin of Apokolips and have truly become new gods."

Steppenwolf's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say: "So, we can take action?"

"If you only want to kill hundreds of thousands or at most one million Kryptonians, you can do it now. If you plan to kill the two million Kryptonians who entered Apokolips, wait a little longer until they all become new For the God Clan, it would be best if there are ten or twenty thousand new dark gods who understand the divine nature." Disad said.

A ferocious smile appeared on Steppenwolf's face, "If I don't even want to let go of the 5 million Kryptonians in Kandor City, what do I need to do?"

"This is a bit difficult." Desaad looked embarrassed. "My method is only effective for the Dark Gods. If they are not the Dark Gods, even if I activate the summoning circle, I will not be able to force them into Apokolips."

"Must it be the Dark Gods?"

“The minimum requirement is to be a member of the Dark God Clan, and it is best to be able to comprehend divinity and condense the divine personality.

The deeper you are involved with the origin of Apokolips, the less you can resist the call of the origin.

You are the oldest dark elite, so you should know how it feels, right? "Dissade said.
