Chapter 704 A bizarre alliance of justice has appeared!
Huff, huff, huff...
As Lex Luthor sat in the center of the giant hemispherical instrument and turned his chair, he saw Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Hal, Captain Cold, and several others who had just retreated from the front lines. Except for the tireless Wonder Woman, the others were lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Their helmets were temporarily taken away after being teleported back to the Alliance headquarters via the blast tunnel. Ventriloquists would then recharge these helmets with psionic energy to use them as coordinates, allowing their telepathic abilities to protect their teammates during combat.
Luther transformed the Ventriloquist into a complete monster, but this action also allowed him to combine the telepathic abilities of Brainiac and Starro the Conqueror of the Universe, while his own chaotic split personality amplified the legacy of these two telepathic abilities.
With the help of machines, the ventriloquists erected a massive telepathic shield across the globe to prevent any ordinary person from being controlled by Brainiac's mind abilities.
Even so, Brainiac's powerful mental abilities still frequently breached and squeezed this invisible mental shield, occasionally attempting to control anyone on Earth.
However, once on Earth, it becomes the domain of the ventriloquists, so any ordinary person who is controlled by Brainiac will be immediately discovered. Then, the ventriloquist will invade his mind, expel Brainiac's willpower, and make him utter an "ah".
So at this moment, the streets and alleys are filled with incessant "ah ah" sounds, as if everyone is singing a duet.
Luthor ignored the noise. It was just noise, good enough. Brainiac was indeed a formidable opponent for the Justice League right now.
The US government has already tried a massive, devastating attack on the Justice League. Upon discovering Brainiac's appearance, they immediately unleashed 40% of their nuclear weapons on his enormous body outside Earth.
But before these weapons even reached Brainiac, the nuclear missiles changed course and flew towards Washington together.
Fortunately, Lex Luthor had once built a global energy shield to prevent Earth from being attacked further. Yes, it was part of a global mind shield system—without the knowledge of Amanda Waller and the entire government group, of course.
Even so, despite Luther's proof that nuclear weapons are like toys to both aliens and Lex...
"There are still people who want to do something; politicians are indeed such creatures." Luther frowned. He had just been about to say something to his allies in the Justice League, but the message he received made him pause for a moment.
There's no need to tell his allies about such a trivial matter.
The brain-computer interface attached to Luther's bald head directly conveyed Luther's will through telepathy.
At this point, his head had begun to swell slightly, appearing unusually large.
If he could, Luthor would obviously prefer to be a normal human, but the situation is critical now.
Just seconds later, Luthor spoke to Wonder Woman and the others, saying, "Hurry up, Superman and Martian Manhunter will be switching shifts with you soon."
Luthor certainly wouldn't tolerate these stupid politicians. When Batman was leading the Justice League, he habitually eliminated troublesome people. Now that Batman is gone, he's even more ruthless in his killing spree.
When Martian Manhunter was around, he could still hold off Luther with his General Vest, but now it's a complete massacre.
"So...therefore..."
Hal Green Lantern was panting heavily. Wonder Woman helped him up from the ground: "Why couldn't we go straight back to the nutrient tank this time?"
"Are you alright, Jordan?" Luther called out Hal's last name, but he clearly didn't care whether the other man was tired or not.
"Brainiac is just too big; he's creating massive energy torrents directly," Green Lantern Hal said. "He's trying to use these energy torrents like scraping putty off a wall to... what's it called again..."
"Flashpoint Universe," Captain Cold reminded Hal.
"Yes, scrape that universe off the fortress formed by our two universes," said Hal, the Green Lantern. "I'm fighting against this energy erosion!"
"And your teammates are helping to relieve the pressure," Luther said. "Thanks to Diana and the others, otherwise you would have been drained dry, Jordan."
"Alright," Wonder Woman said, "We just got back. Let's exchange information first; we're going to cover Clark and Barry's shift again soon. How's the Amazon Queen?"
"It would be very difficult for her to survive." Luther shrugged, then, seeing Wonder Woman's furrowed brow, quickly added, "But for now, she's alive and receiving the best treatment, even though she's a bad guy."
She deserved it for disobeying our orders. Shouldn't Reverse Flash obey orders now?
Wonder Woman nodded.
"Very well, then we need to talk about something."
Luther said, "According to my calculations, we may not be able to hold out until Brainiac retreats."
"Didn't we just say we could hold out until Batman came back?" Green Lantern Hal asked.
"Batman isn't coming back." Luthor glanced at him, then tapped his thigh with his finger. "He just told me he has another important matter to attend to and can't just come back and escape with the three universes."
Wonder Woman and Captain Cold exchanged a glance.
They awaited Luther's next words.
But Hal, the Green Lantern, jumped up from the ground: "So what do we do now?"
This is too hasty and seems idiotic. Luther glanced at him and then said, "The Propulsion Tower system, after being modified by me and Batman, can now propel two universes simultaneously for short periods. Batman has already set up the gateway for us to enter the main universe."
The transformation of the three universes into parallel universes of different dimensions by using dark matter cosmic energy and fifth-dimensional divine power to shrink them large enough to fit into the main universe is also ready. We just need to hold out until the energy is fully charged, and then we can embark on a multiverse-level leap—and then, in most cases, we will see ourselves in the main universe.”
"Well, isn't that great?" Hal said like a gorilla, then took a deep breath, his face regaining its solemnity. "But we can't hold out until then, can we?"
"The ventriloquist won't last that long," Luther said. "If sacrificing Arnold's life could get all three universes into the main universe, you know who I am, I would do it without hesitation."
Luther tilted his head slightly, and the brain-computer interface on his bald head, which was as white as a boiled egg, moved slightly along with him.
"But even if Arnold were to burn out, he still couldn't stop Brainiac. I'm not kidding."
He raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch.
"In about four minutes, I will inject Arnold with an experimental drug, and then..."
Luther said, "I'm asking the entire Justice League to be injected with this drug to help Arnold share the telepathic stress he'll be facing with Brainiac."
"So what kind of drugs did you prepare?" Captain Cold said. "This isn't the first time I've randomly used strange devices to gain superpowers. I can be the first to try it."
Yes, Captain Cold's ability to create frost was obtained by stealing a gene-recombining device. Although this transformation of everyone in the Rogues into superpowers resulted in each member's superpower having some flaws, and even caused a split within the gang—
But people who have received the medication are different; they have a higher tolerance for technology.
"You probably all know about Batman's abilities," Luther said. "He told us that his ability is to possess Batmen from parallel universes, but after some research, I found that Batman's transformations are actually the abilities of villains."
"Are you sure we have to undergo such dangerous genetic modification?" Wonder Woman said. "Every race is different; are you sure the same genetic modification method will succeed?"
"The risk is too great; this matter must be put on hold for now." Wonder Woman rejected Luthor's suggestion. "I don't have time to argue with you right now about your violation of the rules by using untested genetic modifications on someone like a ventriloquist who lacks the ability to consent, but I absolutely will not allow you to..."
The next moment, Wonder Woman was stunned to see half of Luthor's face split open, his entire face looking like a flower, completely separated.
A large amount of bizarre flesh and bone formed a mouth resembling fangs, and long, sharp blades like fleshy whips grew from the white bones at the base of its flowering head, which resembled a spine, and were covered with a keratinous layer similar to that of a ravager.
In a burst of red lightning from the Speed Force, Luther's eyeballs were instantly elongated by a long, thin, fleshy tentacle, and then appeared in front of Diana, staring at her face.
"I succeeded, so although this technology is not yet mature, it has not been without clinical trials. In fact, I think the probability of this technology failing is infinitely close to zero, because I am not just starting out in research."
Luther said, "The Amodrome virus. I've been researching this virus for a much longer time than I created Superboy Connor."
He said, "After meeting Batman, I started trying to imitate Batman's abilities. Initially, I wanted to create a degraded version of Batman, just like I created Superman's clone, Bizarro. But I eventually abandoned that plan."
He said, "But while I abandoned the creation of variants, I didn't abandon the Amozzo virus. If you've met Dr. Ivo, you should recognize the Amozzo robot; we worked together on the same project. So listen carefully."
"During the transformation process, I will provide you with enough energy to ensure that there will be no problems with your transformation."
Furthermore, during the modification process, I also added the power of the Crimson of All Beings to the drug, which ensures that after genetic recombination, the experimental subject will definitely possess some ability to transform into an alien creature.
"So what did you become?"
"Hal the Green Lantern asked."
Luther didn't speak. Then his flower-shaped head retracted completely, transforming into a giant turtle head. Hard bone spurs and a turtle shell condensed on his back. He then abandoned the transformation and continued to sit there harmlessly.
"The only thing I can guarantee is that after the modification, you will still be able to return to your original appearance, at least in terms of appearance. When you are not fighting at full strength, you will be no different from your original appearance, and there will be no risk of disfigurement."
Luther said, "So...who wants to give it a try? I'll bring it up with Clark and the others after their shift ends."
No one spoke.
Luther wanted to say something more, but then his expression suddenly turned serious again. He turned his head to look back at the brain-computer interface, then closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again.
"You guys need to go back and help Clark, at least two of you."
"I've activated the overclocking defense, which might allow us to hold out, but it will also reduce the time we can last," Luther said rapidly. "A Superman Supreme—no, Batman's intelligence claims this guy is a Time Trapped. A future version of an older Superman Supreme, but still powerful enough."
Beads of sweat appeared on Luther's forehead: "Right now, all we can do is rely on the defenses Batman built to keep him temporarily out of the two universes. Once he breaks through, none of us can stop him!"
He turned to Wonder Woman and the others: "It's time to make a decision."
He said, "This will certainly make you all very strange... but you should know that, according to the information about the multiverse that Batman obtained, we are beings from the Dark Multiverse, just inferior variants of all the Justice League members in that main universe."
"To achieve victory, sacrifices must be made."
He said, "Does it matter to us if things just become a little strange?"

……
Chen Tao took a deep breath.
Barbatos helped him stop the World Forger, but this was a complete waste of effort; he had to hurry and find the Emperor Jester and take him away.
He had already made thorough preparations in his own universe, so that even if he didn't show up in person, Lex Luthor could take everyone and run away.
He had to take the Emperor Joker away because only the Emperor Joker knew how he had modified Parallax Mohal's body. If he wanted to retaliate against Parallax Mohal, Chen Tao needed to get information from the Emperor Joker about what he had done.
However, there is still one problem...
He speculated that the trapped person would stay by the Emperor Joker's side, waiting to deliver a fatal blow.
If he were the world's foundry, he would have arranged it this way.
He had to carefully deceive the other party before capturing the Emperor Joker.
It's best not to get entangled with him; he doesn't have much time to waste.
