Chapter 3483: Research on Cats and Dogs (Part 42)

"The other party is a Martian." Batman's conclusion was categorical.

When the bearded man counterattacked Superman, Schiller had already thought of this possibility, and his subsequent performance also proved this point.

Martians are an alien race with a large gap between the upper and lower limits; relatively strong individuals can even suppress Kryptonians strengthened by the sun, while weak ones are basically nothing. Humans armed with modern weapons can't even beat them.

The most famous Martian is of course Martian Manhunter. The reason he is called "Manhunter" isn't because he hunts on Mars, but because the profession of police on Mars is translated as "Manhunter."

So "Martian Manhunter" should actually be called "Martian Police." He was engaged in maintaining public order, fighting crime, and other work on Mars.

"Martians should be extinct," Batman said, "The only survivor is Martian Manhunter. But J'onn absolutely couldn't do this kind of thing. He is a hero who hates evil as much as he hates his enemies, and invading Earth has no benefits for him."

"Extinct? Not necessarily." Schiller thought in his heart. It seems Martian Manhunter is the last Martian, but in fact, another Martian survived, and that is the culprit who destroyed Mars, and also Martian Manhunter J'onn's brother—Ma'alefa'ak.

Unlike J'onn, his brother Ma'alefa'ak is a natural sociopath, doing bad things every day since he was a child, and even wanting to rape his sister-in-law when he grew up. After being arrested, he begged his brother to let him go, but J'onn refused. In a fit of anger, he used a virus to wipe out all of Mars.

It can only be said that from the human perspective, such aliens are the more the merrier; but if standing from the Martian perspective, they were really dead through and through, and still wanted to stretch out a mouth from the grave to ask "Why."

As for how he survived, it has to start with the biggest weakness of Martians. Martians are afraid of fire, and it's the kind of degree where they get mental illness as soon as they see it.

So this guy made a virus that spreads through the natural telepathic ability of Martians. As long as they use their psychic ability, they immediately feel like they are being burned by fire, thus dying in fear.

The entire Martian civilization was built on the basis of telepathic ability, just like humans using their own hands. If one day humans used their own hands and saw the thing they were most afraid of, they would also go extinct after a while.

However, when Ma'alefa'ak was on trial, his abilities and memories were sealed. The sealing process might have had some problems, making him completely forget that he was afraid of fire, so this virus didn't work on him, and he survived like this.

And the Martian Manhunter at that time also fell to Earth for various reasons, not connecting to the Martian psychic network, so he barely escaped.

Schiller thought it was highly likely that this bearded man was Ma'alefa'ak, but there were also doubts. Ma'alefa'ak's psychic ability should have been sealed, but it looked like this guy was still a psychic.

"And, J'onn isn't as weak as him." Batman opened his mouth again, "J'onn can read the memories of all humans on Earth in an instant; if he attacked Superman with all his strength, Superman would probably lose his ability to act directly."

"I see." Schiller thought. Before, he didn't think about Martians, because Martian Manhunter in the comics is very strong, targeting Marvel's Professor X, and is even physically stronger than Charles, able to fight Superman in close combat.

And this psychic's psychic ability was clearly not very good; controlling an ordinary person required his full strength, and brainwashing Superman was full of loopholes, even unable to dig out secrets from Jonathan. It might indeed be the performance after being sealed.

However, isn't it said that Zod is coming? How did it change to Ma'alefa'ak again?

And, with Ma'alefa'ak's current strength, can his invasion really be considered a plot node? Being able to fight back and forth with a Superman, this simply can't touch the current Justice League.

Schiller felt things weren't that simple, but he was currently playing an ordinary victim, so naturally, he couldn't say his speculation. He had no choice but to give Aisha a look.

"Since you are sure he is a Martian, then maybe it's another Martian." Aisha shrugged and said, "In our view, Martians are extinct, but maybe one was hiding in some corner, and human instruments couldn't detect it, and now it suddenly popped out, wanting to invade Earth."

Batman was silent for a long time, but could only nod. And then Aisha said again: "But where is the strong Martian you mentioned? Maybe we can find him to be a helper."

Batman shook his head again and said: "If J'onn wants to hide himself, no one can find him. But if we release the news of the Martian invasion, he might come to find us himself."

"I will call Clark." Victor said, "But even if he doesn't report it, such a rare scene of aliens fighting will be reported by major TV stations. If the righteous Martian you mentioned watches TV, he will know sooner or later."

"But I don't think this matter is that simple." Aisha said, "This guy isn't strong either; one Superman can defend against him. If an army came, it might be a bit difficult to handle, but just him alone, he can't stir up any waves."

"This might indeed just be the advance party." Batman nodded and said, "I speculated before that they might send some individuals with strong concealment to enter Earth first to investigate, create some chaos to divert the Justice League's energy, and then launch a large-scale attack."

"Now it seems, this Martian who popped out from nowhere should be their scout. He has psychic abilities; once the Justice League is negligent in defense, it's possible to be taken advantage of."

"Now it definitely won't work." Victor shook his head and said, "Psychics are the best lurkers before they are exposed, but once exposed, everyone will be on guard."

"It's not that simple." Batman emphasized, "Psychics only cause panic when exposed; everyone will feel that they might have been affected, and then it's endless suspicion and counter-suspicion, consuming all energy in infighting."

Batman became more anxious as he spoke, and finally turned and left, saying: "The Justice League of this universe, although very well-prepared, is after all too young. If they fall into such a vicious cycle, it will be very hard to break free."

"And once there is a conflict, the situation will only intensify, and it's not impossible to end up in a breakup. I must go help them."

Looking at Batman's departing back, Victor shook his head and said in his heart: "Then you think too much."

"With Bruce here, the Justice League won't wait for the enemy to set a trap before breaking up."

The members of the Justice League sat in front of the TV watching Gotham News. Bruce leaned back, pillowing his hands behind his head and said: "Wouldn't it be this guy who affected the evil Superman? This Superman is how weak, he could actually be driven crazy by him."

"His spirit itself is unstable. The other party knows he isn't strong, so he picks soft persimmons." Diana said.

"I didn't expect Superman to become a soft persimmon one day." Bruce couldn't help but look at Clark, and then was twisted back by Clark with his hand.

"Do you think any of us could have been brainwashed?" Hal said, "After all, his target is the Justice League of this universe; if it's an outsider, it can only count as a side dish. So much time has passed, they should have found a way to get close to us."

"Anyway, it can't be me." Clark said, "I said I have many sets of systems; if one set has a problem, the other set can detect it. And my mental state has always been very stable; I'm not some soft persimmon."

"It can't be me either. Ordinary mental attacks can't break through the defense of Green Lantern energy. Even if they want to attack forcefully, I will notice it. Right, Professor Xavier?"

Professor Xavier nodded. For him, Green Lantern energy is indeed a very magical energy he has never encountered before, which can isolate all brainwave detection, a bit like an enlarged version of Magneto's helmet. Even if it could be broken forcefully, it would be very hard to do it quietly.

"Then it can't be me." Diana said, "I have divine power to protect my body. With this guy's level, it's still tens of thousands of years too early to want to control me."

"It's not me." Arthur said very straightforwardly, "What's the use of controlling me, talking to fish?"

Bruce almost sprayed water, he looked at Arthur and said: "Do you have to be so straightforward."

"I'm just stating facts." Arthur didn't mind at all, relaxing and leaning on the back of the sofa chair, saying, "I'm a loser, don't come to me."

Everyone's eyes fell on Bruce.

"I think Bruce is the mole." Clark said first, "He hasn't made any moves for so long, it's simply too abnormal, it's definitely him."

"That's right, I think so too, let's find a place to lock him up." Diana even stood up and started rubbing her hands.

"It's indeed most likely him. I can provide you with a stable prison." Lex also said.

And Pamela's vines had already touched Bruce's side. Bruce grabbed the vine that was about to wrap around his hand with one hand and shouted: "You bunch of bastards! How can you suspect the soul figure of the Justice League!"

"He's already started talking nonsense, it's definitely you." Hal waved his hand, and a green light enveloped Bruce, directly grabbing him into the air. Bruce waved his hands and feet in the air, flapping non-stop.

At this moment, something fell off him. Diana, who was closest, wanted to pick it up, but this black shadow revealed a shiny mouth full of steel teeth and bit Diana's finger.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!" Diana let out a scream.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!!" Clark shouted.

Several people who just claimed to have many sets of systems, divine power, Green Lantern energy, and could talk to fish, were instantly bitten and jumping around.

Lex, who jumped onto the table quickly, took a closer look, and the steel-toothed puppy jumping on the ground was actually a mobile phone!

This phone was half the size of an ordinary tablet phone, folded from the middle, and the edges of the phone were full of shark-like teeth, biting whoever it caught.

It was fine to bite others, but even Clark couldn't escape, because the teeth of this phone were made of Kryptonite.

"Bruce!!!!!!!!" Clark, curled up in the corner of the ceiling, roared angrily and desperately at Bruce, "What about being best friends for life?! You actually use Kryptonite to deal with me!"

"Say the lines!" Diana, curled up in another corner, said to him, "Say the lines!"

"Say what lines?!"

"The lines when Batman and Superman fight!"

"'I really loved you'? No, not this sentence..."

Thus, Batman, who had just returned to Metropolis, heard Clark's roar echoing in the manor with full energy:

"Batman!! Do you bleed?!!!"
