"Send a message to the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Inspection Action Department, contact the Interstellar Laboratory, and have Barry contact the remaining members of the League. I'll help Batman with some things in Gotham first, and I'll be there soon."
Qingshui hung up the phone, and Viktor, who was beside him, quickly removed the test equipment installed on Light Weaver.
"Viktor, watch the house!"
Qingshui said, pressing the button on the watch on his wrist and speaking to Mr. Freeze.
At the same time, mechanical arms protruded from the surrounding walls, installing another set of mechanical armor on Light Weaver.
"I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingshui and Light Weaver broke through the ceiling and flew out.
In less than half a minute, Qingshui flew from Blüdhaven to the sky above Gotham. Qingshui synchronized Light Weaver's vision in real-time on the White Knight's eyes by monitoring the analysis signal of Light Weaver's optic nerve.
Kryptonian X-ray vision!
"Bang!"
The air vibrated, and a sonic boom sounded.
Light Weaver instantly broke into a building, using his freezing breath to freeze the bombs fixed under Nightwing and Tim, and then melted the chains that bound the two with heat rays.
Batman and the Joker, who were fighting at the door of the room:… …
???
"Didn't they say he was just an ordinary superhuman who could use high-tech battle suits and control wind and lightning? How did he become a Kryptonian?"
The Joker said in a daze.
He couldn't understand this world anymore.
"I don't need to tell you."
A right hook from Batman's prosthetic limb successfully knocked the Joker unconscious.
"You're not Walter, are you a puppet made by him using that Kryptonian corpse?"
Batman looked at Light Weaver and said.
"Don't worry about those things for now, the aliens are coming. We don't have time to watch you and the Joker play house here."
Qingshui's voice rang from outside the window.
The White Knight broke through the window and raised his arm indifferently at the Joker.
Batman silently turned around, blocking Qingshui's gun aimed at the Joker.
A pedantic no-killing rule.
Qingshui, hidden in the White Knight, curled his lips in disdain.
"Get out of the way, I don't mean to kill him, nor do I want to cripple him."
Qingshui said.
The Joker cannot be killed.
When the previous Joker dies, the next Joker will come soon. Even if he doesn't come, the Dionysus factor will transfer to another person and lurk, bringing madness to him.
And the closest to the Joker here are himself and Batman.
Qingshui didn't want to be infected and become crazy, and he didn't want to see the Batman Who Laughs appear.
So the best choice is to keep the Joker alive and seal him.
Although there is no prison in this world that can trap the Joker, what if?
A cold freezing ray shot out from the White Knight's arm, freezing the Joker.
The Dionysus factor in his body can ensure that the Joker will not be frozen to death by the low temperature, but that is all.
"Ninjutsu · Great Burial Sealing!"
A layer of dense sealing runes climbed onto the ice that sealed the Joker.
This is not over yet.
Qingshui walked out of the White Knight, his hands lit up with magic circles, and began to chant.
"Galador Gel Confinement Network."
Chakra was transformed into circles of bright blue light, intertwined with each other, weaving a large net to cover the ice.
Solid ice, sealing technique, magic, triple insurance, should it be enough?
"When I have time, I'll let Superman exile him to the Phantom Zone. That's almost foolproof."
"Was that magic you just cast?"
Batman changed the subject.
"Don't change the subject."
Qingshui turned to look out the window.
A bright spark appeared in the white sky.
"The defensive watchtower deployed in outer space orbit has been destroyed."
"Aliens? Or those Kryptonians from last time?"
Batman asked while sending a message to Alfred.
"Obviously much stronger."
A holographic projection lit up on the White Knight's arm, showing the image taken by the space watchtower.
A spherical spaceship that looked somewhat like a green skull was crossing space, stretching out countless gun barrels and instantly firing tens of millions of lasers, blasting the space watchtower to pieces.
The space watchtower, comparable to a building, was pitifully small in front of the spherical spaceship.
With a simple calculation, the size of this spaceship may be no less than some modern cities on Earth.
"The spaceship is heading to Metropolis. I have already notified the others in the League. Let's see if Superman can hold on first."
Qingshui and Light Weaver rose from the ground again and disappeared from Batman's sight.
At the same time, a Batplane turned its turbines and docked outside the window.
"Alfred, I'll leave Dick and Tim to you to take back and take care of."
… …
… …
Metropolis.
The red cloak fluttered.
Superman turned into a red and blue streamer, smashing the swarm of green robots rushing towards him with one punch each, while moving left and right, dodging the rays of light shooting down from the sky.
If it were other attacks, Superman might defend, but these rays could shrink anything they touched countless times.
LexCorp Headquarters.
"Boss, should we go out and assist? Fourteen Kryptonite-powered robots are ready and waiting."
Luthor's secretary and lover, Eve Teschmacher, holding a tablet in her arms, said to Luthor.
Luthor was wearing heavy Kryptonite energy armor, looking at the huge battleship that covered the entire sky above Metropolis.
How the hell are we supposed to fight this?
"No… …"
Luthor looked at a building in front of him shrinking and slowly shook his head.
"Kryptonite radiation will cause Superman's combat power to decline. Now is not the time for us to take action."
Eve understood.
Although he and Superman don't get along, it's because Luthor is a human supremacist.
Superman and the people on that spaceship are aliens, but at least Superman is an alien who is closer to humans.
Eve asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Luthor turned around, his eyes calm.
"With this alien's ability, he can definitely directly destroy Metropolis, but he didn't do that. He's just been trying to capture Superman, which means they, like the Kryptonians, are here for Superman. Maybe as long as he captures Superman… …"
"Bang!"
The office door was pushed open, and a woman in a maid outfit ran in.
"Sir! Your daughter, Alex, was shrunk and captured by the alien's ray!"
Luthor's expression froze.
His daughter has been well protected since birth.
Even some of the people he trusts the most don't know that he has a daughter, let alone his opponents!
But, no matter how well protected she is, this time it is an irresistible force, and no matter how much preparation he makes, it is useless.
A few seconds later.
Superman was still incredibly valiant, smashing countless robots as if crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. He even charged towards the spaceship in the sky, poised to destroy the entire ship in one fell swoop.
But what the enemy wanted might have been to close the distance with Superman.
A beam, thicker than any previous one, shot out.
No, rather than a beam, it was more like a giant light curtain.
A light curtain large enough to cover the entire Metropolis.
Even as fast as Superman, he couldn't escape in time at such close range.
"This…"
Qing Shui, manipulating the Lightwo to clear the way for him, braked urgently, avoiding the light curtain.
He watched helplessly as the entire Metropolis was shrunk down and flown into the spaceship.
This is…
Brainiac, the number one collector of DC world figures?
The light curtain dissipated, and the bustling Metropolis disappeared, leaving only a huge basin.
"What's the plan?"
Qing Shui turned to look at the Batplane flying behind him and asked.
"Reinforcements have arrived, pursue," Batman replied.
As if to confirm Batman's answer, a figure using a golden rope to swing through the clouds appeared in the sky.
A bright red lightning bolt sped across the ground, and further away, a ball of raging flames was rushing towards here.
Looking closely, in the center of the flames was a young black man who looked like a high school student.
Firestorm!
Although his popularity, status, and influence can only be considered second-tier, Firestorm's combat power is definitely at the level of a first-tier superhero.
The current Firestorm is Professor Stein and the black high school student Jefferson.
"Leave the pathfinding to me and the old graybeard!" Firestorm took the lead in charging towards the spaceship, throwing out nuclear-bomb-like fireballs—he himself was equivalent to a nuclear weapon.
Following closely were the White Knight and the high-energy rays from the Batplane, as well as Lightwo's heat rays.
This attack, enough to destroy a large area, only opened a small hole barely enough for one person to pass through on Brainiac's spaceship.
Lightwo was the first to rush in, followed by Qing Shui and Firestorm.
Barry, holding Wonder Woman's hand, was swung in with the Lasso of Truth.
Batman, wearing the anti-Superman armor on the spaceship, followed suit.
Although it was almost scrapped by the faulty safety hammer last time, Alfred and Lucius still retrieved the anti-Superman armor.
After all, the promethium metal on it was still there and couldn't be wasted.
The two not only repaired this thing but also installed two Arc Reactors inside to increase the output power.
After entering the spaceship, Qing Shui realized that there was one more person here.
Not some ghost story, but Atom Palmer was hiding in Barry's suit pocket and only jumped out now.
"Superman has been captured in the room on the west side, as if being drained of energy by something. Metropolis has been put into a bottle and is being sent to a certain location by a team of robots… Lex Luthor has escaped from the bottle!
He used an intercontinental missile hidden in LexCorp to blast the bottle cap loose, and he has taken the initiative to show himself! It seems he wants to negotiate with the aliens.
There is also a woman being controlled by a robot…"
Qing Shui used Lightwo's X-ray vision to describe what he saw and asked Batman to take command.
Although his own tactical command skills were not bad, with Batman, the recognized world's top tactical master, it was better to use an external brain like Superman.
However, the tactics Batman gave were very simple.
After asking Qing Shui if there was a place similar to a warehouse, he gave the order.
"Barry, Palmer, you go to these places to see if there is anything that can turn Metropolis back. The rest of us, come with me, we will hold off the aliens at the front and try to rescue Superman."
"Is it that simple?" Barry scratched his head.
"I think so. Luthor will do the rest, and now, we can only fight," Qing Shui said, looking at the large group of green-skinned robots swarming in front of him.
Inside the spaceship's main control room.
Superman's brain and strong limbs were now connected to a huge device by several tubes.
In the center of the device was a green, translucent jar, in which a woman with a fairly slender figure could be vaguely seen.
Visible, unknown energy was constantly pouring into the device.
Further away was a human girl with her head shaved.
Similar to Superman, her brain and limbs were restrained, but there were no such tubes, but she also looked pained.
The door of the main control room was opened, revealing Luthor, who was being escorted by two robots.
Luthor first looked at his daughter with concern and tension, then calmed down and said to the alien in high-tech clothing sitting at the steel console.
"You are… Brainiac. I have seen information about you in the Kryptonian spaceship records."
"Are you here for this female creature? Is she your daughter? A cosmic civilization that has not yet left its home planet and reached level one has actually given birth to a human with a brain that has the potential to surpass level ten intelligence. Your race is very talented," Brainiac said, sizing up Luthor.
His goal was about to be completed, so he didn't mind saying a few more words and leaving a little trace in this world.
"I agree with what you said, but Alex… she is just a young human female who has not yet reached adulthood. The human brain will not fully develop until the age of twenty-five. Even if Alex is very smart, but… I think her brain cannot withstand too much calculation!
If possible, I think I am the most suitable candidate! Because I am the most intelligent human on this planet!"
Luthor had already realized what Brainiac was going to do with his daughter.
Use her as a CPU!
Alex was born weak, but she was extremely smart. Luthor believed that his daughter's intelligence was even above his own at the same age. If it weren't for her body being too weak, she would definitely surpass him.
"No, you are not enough. Although I don't know what knowledge you have mastered, according to the scan of your brain development, you only have a maximum of level nine intelligence. Perhaps you have reached the limit of intelligent life in the fields of creativity and judgment, but the primitive life structure and backward social civilization have limited your upper limit," Brainiac said, coughing a few times, spitting out yellow-green blood, waving his hand, and having the robots re-imprison Luthor.
