Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Who?

Lex Luthor? !

Tim copied the information in a daze, but couldn't control his racing brain.

Conditions: Luthor hates Superman and is Superman's mortal enemy.

Result: They have a son

Question: What is Lex Luthor’s motivation?

"I can't figure it out at all!" he said in a broken voice.

"boom"

The whole building suddenly shook.

"What? What happened up there?"

Tim quickly turned on the headphone channel, "Lucas, what happened?"

"Zizi..."

The sound of electricity coming from the earphones made his uneasiness reach its peak.

Tim said anxiously as he ran towards the ground: "Lucas, if you can hear me, reply to me right away!"

"..."

"........."

"…………"

"...Tim?"

Tim immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What happened?"

Lucas bent down and hid behind the cover, watching Superboy and the attacker named Annihilator fighting in the air in the hall.

Annihilus, like those who hope to fill Superman's position, has the "S" shape representing Superman on his chest, and is dressed exactly like Superman. The difference is that he wears high-tech glasses on his face, which blocks the upper half of his face. It was so tight that it was basically impossible to see his appearance clearly.

Although Annihilator can also save people, he can't communicate with the people he saves. He is as cold as a machine.

"It's Annihilator," Lucas said.

Lucas also did his homework before coming to Metropolis and memorized the appearances of several Superman reserves in his mind.

"He attacked the Lex Building and Superboy is fighting him."

"Huh?" Tim was confused. He said quickly: "I'll be out right away. You go to a safe place first."

"I'm waiting for you."

"Lucas, are you really not leaving with us?" Gwen asked.

When Annihilus rushed in, Superboy, who was surrounded by reporters, immediately went up to fight, while ordinary people who had no fighting ability needed to retreat quickly.

How to quickly evacuate from a battle scene involving superpowers is a skill that ordinary people in this world must master. Both Gotham and New Yorkers have this skill at their peak, but Superman has always protected Metropolis too well. People are not good at this.

The situation was chaotic due to the pushing and shoving of the crowd, coupled with the destructive Superboy and Annihilator above.

Of course, Peter couldn't let the situation continue to be chaotic like this. He just didn't have a suit and couldn't use his identity as Spider-Man to help openly, but it shouldn't be a problem to use spider silk to secretly catch a few people who were about to be hit.

"I'm going to evacuate people," he said.

"I'll go with you," Mindy said immediately.

"Okay." Gwen tied the too-long skirt around her waist, took off her high heels and held them in her hands, looking at Harry and Lucas, "Let's leave quickly."

"Yeah." Harry agreed.

But Lucas made no move.

Faced with Gwen's question, Lucas shook his head, "I have to wait for Tim to come out."

"What? Derek is still in there?" Harry opened his eyes wide.

"Yes."

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"He's fine," Lucas said.

The earphones in his ears were still working dutifully, and Tim had not turned off the communication, so even if he didn't speak, Lucas could still hear a slight gasp in addition to the crackle of electricity.

"You go to a safe place first." Lucas said, "I'll come after Tim."

"But you're not very dangerous..."

"I'll be fine." Lucas said calmly, a pair of blue eyes looking at the two people colliding in the air, "It's up to you, don't let Peter and Mindy worry."

"But……"

"This is the commander's order."

Lucas rarely spoke in such a cold commanding tone, so Gwen and Harry were very surprised.

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Lucas was stunned for a moment, then softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Superboy, who was shot down from the air by Annihilus, plowed a deep mark on the ground. As a fledgling, he had been relying on his own talent and physical fitness to easily defeat those who took the opportunity to cause trouble in the city. Opportunists.

But a guy like that can be easily dealt with by a person with super powers, not to mention the Kryptonian ability he inherited from Superman.

Now that he has met the powerful Annihilator, Superboy finally understands what society's beatings mean.

Luther, who heard the noise above, came out of the underground laboratory directly. Looking at the floating Annihilator and the messy Lex Building, Luther asked dissatisfiedly: "What do you think you are doing?"

"At this moment, I am answering Lex Luthor's question." Annihilus said mechanically.

Luther choked slightly at this speechless answer. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Considering the strength of Annihilator, he did not explode immediately.

"Okay, let me ask you one more question, what are you here for?"

"Lex Luthor is a well-known criminal, and criminals must be eliminated." Annihilator raised his hand, a dazzling light shining from the palm of his hand.

Luther immediately put his hand on Secretary Macy's shoulder and said a quick thank you.

"what?"

Just when this capable female secretary was still confused, she was pulled by Luther and stood in front of him. She was directly hit by the Annihilator's energy cannon and fell softly to the ground, while Luther himself Find cover with Louise.

Superboy jumped up from the ground and was beaten like a sandbag in front of everyone, and Luther saw it. This incident made Superboy very unhappy, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Looks like you need to be more serious." He raised his hand to hold the sunglasses on his face and threw them off, revealing his childish face.

Superboy jumped into the air and instantly rushed towards Annihilus, who had his back turned to him, catching Annihilus off guard and sending him slamming into the wall.

"Sorry, man."

Just this wasn't enough to satisfy Superboy. He continued to pursue the victory and punched Annihilus, "If you hit me on the spot, you'll have to leave!"

The two fought again.

Lucas watched the battle in the air. Both sides had speeds that were unimaginable to ordinary people. Two rays of light, one blue and one black, collided with each other in the air, but he could clearly see their movements.

Superboy will lose.

Lucas immediately came to this conclusion. He glanced at the dark-faced Luthor not far away. He had only been named Superboy for a few months, and he acted so carelessly, as if he were a child of several years old. , and this time it was revealed that the fighting style is too simple, without any skills at all, and relies entirely on one's own strength to fight hard. How can it be possible to defeat the Annihilator in this way?

"I'm out," Tim whispered.

In this chaotic situation, it was best to fish in troubled waters, so Tim quietly slipped out of the underground laboratory after Luther left.

"I see you, come here." He continued.

There was a locator placed by Tim in the headset, and he easily knew where Lucas was.

"it is good."

When Tim came to Lucas, he found that he was paying attention to the battle in the sky. He glanced up, and then lowered his head silently.

Sorry, a mortal cannot understand the fight between gods and gods.

Even Tim, who has been trained by Batman, can only see two afterimages when looking at a superhuman-level battle. Human dynamic vision cannot capture their battle.

However, seeing how serious Lucas looked, Tim couldn't help but ask: "Lucas, did you see clearly?"

"It's okay." Lucas said, shaking his head regretfully, "Superboy is still too young, he can't win."

After hearing what Lucas said, Tim looked at the sky suspiciously again. There was no doubt that there were still two blurry afterimages.

Could this be the ability of the Psychic Thief?

"Where's Tim?" Lucas asked. "Did you find anything?"

Thinking of the information he found, Tim still felt like his brain was shocked.

"...I did find something remarkable."

Lucas noticed the erratic tone in his voice and glanced at Tim.

It seems to be really remarkable that he has this kind of tone.

Tim continued: "The main thing is that I can't figure it out... Sigh, I'll talk to you alone later."

Lucas nodded, "Okay, then I'll look forward to it."

"Well...it's better not to look forward to it so much."

As Lucas said, the immature Superboy gradually fell into a disadvantage and was beaten. Without the sunshine, he seemed to be insufficient.

At this moment, a hammer directly knocked away the Annihilator who was hitting Superboy.

The soles of his feet breathed fire, and the floating Colossus retracted his hammer and landed next to Superboy.

He's another candidate who says he hopes to take up Superman's mantle.

"Hey! I'm almost taking that guy down!"

Although the Steelers helped him, Superboy, who believed that the two sides were still in a competitive relationship, still had a tough mouth.

"Then please show off your skills, Superboy." Steel Man looked at Superboy who was stubbornly scratching his neck, not caring about the teenager's fragile self-esteem, and casually sarcastically retorted.

"Yes..." Superboy hesitated for a moment, then said without confidence, "Superman."

The young Superboy is now realizing that he may not have the ability to call himself Superman as Luthor said.

However, the steel man who made a cool appearance at this time could only rely on the high-tech equipment on his body to compete with the Annihilator, but this was obviously not enough. It didn't take long for the steel man to be defeated.

The slap in the face was so fast that Superboy couldn't help but roll his eyes silently.

"Hand Luthor over to Superman, and that's the end of it." Annihilus, who had dealt with the two obstructionists, turned his attention to Luthor again. The energy cannon in his hand was charging up. It was obvious that the battle just now had left him unsatisfied. Impatient.

A blast of heat vision knocks Annihilus away.

"enough."

The last protagonist finally appears. Half of his body is made entirely of machinery, the Mechanical Superman, floating in the air, looking down at the Annihilator.

He descended slowly, his iconic red cloak fluttering behind him, and his little red boots landed gently on the ground.

"We may have different views, but in the eyes of the law, Lex Luthor is not a criminal. The law is a rule that you can never break. True justice is the right of everyone, even the worst villains."

What Mechanical Superman said was really very upright. Even Louise couldn't help but take a few steps forward after hearing it, and looked at the back of Mechanical Superman seriously, looking for the shadow of her beloved.

Luther squinted his eyes and looked at the face that looked very much like his old enemy. It was very similar. It could even be said that except for the half-mechanical face, it was exactly the same.

However, Luthor felt extremely calm in his heart. He did not feel the trembling feeling of standing in front of Superman from the mechanical Superman.

The feeling of looking at the most powerful and perfect creature he had ever seen.

Is this guy really a superman?

Following his intuition, Luther asked: "So, who are you?"

Mechanical Superman turned around and said, "I am Superman."

"There can only be one Superman in the world." Annihilus said coldly, raising his hand and firing an energy cannon.

"The fight started again..." Lucas was a little speechless, "Do you think the new guy is Superman?"

"Although what he said just now is quite similar, Batman did not invite him to the watchtower, and he did not contact the Justice League," Tim said.

"Suspect?"

"Yes, even if they look alike, the suspicion of impersonation cannot be denied. Batman always has his own way of confirming it. Since Mechanical Superman has been around for so long, it means that Batman does not believe him."

"Yes, he is indeed not Superman."

A strange voice suddenly came behind the two of them.

"Who?!" Tim looked behind him with a sharp expression.

Raven, whose face was hidden under a black cloak, tilted her head. The human in front of her suddenly became tense. She didn't quite understand.

"You are..." Lucas was very calm. Since awakening the persona and traveling back and forth between reality and the spiritual world, his ability to perceive emotions has improved a lot.

He could feel that although the girl in front of him had a curse that was somewhat similar to Harry's Persona, she had no malicious intent.

"You can call me Raven," Raven said.

Magic can track a person's real name, so she won't reveal her real name easily.

Tim frowned at the obviously fake name, but ultimately said nothing.

"I have felt the breath of Superman, which is very powerful and gentle. As for the guy who calls himself Superman..." Raven raised his head and looked at the mechanical Superman, his black eyes were deep with a hint of magical purple, "I only felt it. His despair and hatred cannot be hidden from my eyes.”

This nagging look reminded Tim of some bad memories.

"Are you on the mysterious side?" he asked complicatedly.

"What is the mysterious side?" Raven asked calmly, without any ups and downs in his tone.

"Um...can you do magic?" Tim asked in a different way.

"Of course, I am best at death curse magic and summoning magic." Raven said.

She said and looked at Lucas who was thoughtful, "You..."

"Huh?" Lucas felt the shallow breathing floating on his cheeks. He came back to his senses in an instant and found a delicate girl's face close at hand, with a pair of dark eyes staring straight at him, the tip of her nose It almost sticks to the tip of my nose.

This distance is too close for the opposite sex, but neither of the two parties has any ambiguous thoughts.

"What's wrong, Miss Raven?" Lucas took a step back calmly and politely distanced himself.

"How strange." Raven blinked slowly, "Your body and soul don't match."

"Aren't you from this world too?"
