Chapter 3523: This Man Comes from Krypton (1)

"Warning... Warning..."

Lex turned his head abruptly. He rushed to the control panel in three steps, his fingers nimbly pressing several keys. The surveillance camera switched to the external perspective of Mercury.

Under the irradiation of the dazzling sunlight, that planet, which was originally made of metal and glass and shining brightly, burst open like a snowball. Countless mechanical structures flew out, were ignited during the high-speed flight, and exploded into a brilliant firework.

Lex stood stunned in place for a full three seconds, and then he slapped the panel hard, cleared the warning text that was blocking his view, and controlled the drone to fly toward Mercury.

But before it could get close to the visible distance, the drone was destroyed by the flying debris. In the process of countless fragments falling, Lex saw a figure standing in the center of the sun in the blurred camera perspective.

"Everyone, come to the conference room immediately!" Oliver's tone coming from the broadcast was unquestionable.

Lex rushed to the conference room at the fastest speed, but he was the last to arrive. Hal and Oliver teleported to the conference room, Clark and Diana flew over, Arthur appeared directly from the water dispenser, and Bruce didn't even pretend anymore—when Lex arrived, he had just put away his wings.

The rest, Harley, Pamela, Barry, and Kara, also arrived, followed by J'onn who flew in through the window, and then Zatanna and Constantine who arrived through a portal. Both teams of Batmen and Supermen also sat in the seats at the back.

"No time for a meeting to discuss," Oliver said directly. "I will start assigning tasks now, and those who receive tasks will leave immediately. If there are changes, I will contact you through J'onn's telepathic network."

"First group, Hal and Barry. You go to the vicinity of Mercury at the fastest speed now to investigate the situation there. The key is to definitely retrieve the black box of the Mercury internal defense system and bring back all the data that can be collected."

"If you encounter enemies, remember not to get entangled in the fight. If the other party chases you, Barry, you should know what to do."

Barry and Hal nodded, and between the golden and green lights shining together, their figures disappeared from the conference room instantly.

"Second group, Clark and Diana. You fly to the outer periphery of Earth immediately, to the lunar orbit, and use your super vision and divine power to discover any suspicious targets approaching and intercept them at all costs."

"If you can't intercept them, try your best to reverse their flight trajectory, let them land in an uninhabited area, and notify the ground defense forces to handle it at the fastest speed."

Clark and Diana also nodded. The two flew out through the window one after the other, and the sound of sonic booms when they accelerated also rang out one after the other, disappearing from everyone's field of vision in an instant.

"Third group, Zatanna and John. You two return to the Cat Getan Magic Academy immediately to confirm the situation of Earth's magic defense network. At the same time, turn the output to the maximum, don't worry about energy consumption, and be sure to intercept all energy attacks outside of Earth."

"Once you discover that the magic defense network is being attacked, immediately send people to the attack location to check. Solve the enemy on the spot if you find them, and if you can't solve it, call for support, in short, don't let any place leak."

Both nodded. Zatanna waved her hand, a purple portal appeared, and the two left along the portal.

"Fourth group, Arthur. You return to Atlantis immediately, organize the army to launch comprehensive defense, and ensure that every inch of Earth's sea area is under your control."

"If there are falling objects entering Earth, the possibility of landing in the ocean is very high. Once you detect unidentified objects falling into the ocean or invaders, send people to handle it immediately, and don't let them deploy troops."

Arthur nodded. Others didn't see clearly how he left, only seeing the water in the water dispenser next to him churning, and his figure subsequently disappeared.

"Fifth group, Kara and Pamela. You two get as close to Mercury as possible now, collect the valuable wreckage remaining after the explosion and pile it in one place, and clean up all the debris near Mercury's orbit as much as possible, so as not to affect subsequent operations."

"If you encounter enemies, run if you can. If you really can't run, call Hal and Barry to support you."

Both nodded at the same time. Kara flew out of the window, and Pamela was dragged into the ground by a thick vine, and both disappeared.

"Sixth group, J'onn and Harley. J'onn, you take Harley and fly back to Cat Getan. Harley, you take the image data shot by Lex and ask the Professor if he knows who the visitor is. If he has any suggestions, tell us immediately."

Harley nodded. J'onn grabbed her and flew out of the window.

"Seventh group, Bruce. Still remember the 11th article in our solar system emergency defense plan? Go do it now. We will solve the rest, be fast!"

Bruce didn't say anything, nor did he spread his wings again, but flew out directly through the window.

Now, only Lex, Oliver, the two teams of Supermen, and Batman were left in the conference room.

Oliver looked at Lex and said: "You are responsible for the United States, I am responsible for the Soviet Union. Be sure to emphasize the severity of the matter to them."

"Rest assured, their scientists must have already observed the celestial anomalies. Combined with Bruce's plan, they will definitely take measures as soon as possible."

After Lex also left, Oliver looked at the remaining four people and said: "Sorry, there is no place for you in our emergency plan, but you can indeed do some things."

"You say it," the two Batmen said in unison.

Before, they didn't speak, because they could see from the attitude of the people in the Justice League of this universe that they had definitely made plans for this kind of sudden disaster.

As long as there is a plan, just focus on executing it. If someone points fingers on the side at this time, it will add chaos instead, so they didn't say anything.

Oliver first turned to look at the Superman and Batman on the side and said: "The families of the Justice League members are distributed all over the world. Later I will give you their data, and you must check their status at the fastest speed to ensure their safety."

Superman and Batman nodded together. The two left through the back door of the conference room.

"I want to go to Mercury," Injustice Superman said.

Injustice Batman signaled him not to speak with his eyes, but Injustice Superman clearly wouldn't listen. Oliver frowned slightly.

"If you must do this, I won't stop you. But I must remind you, the person who attacked the Mercury base broke all the defenses of the Mercury base in three seconds. Do you know what this means?"

"Clark once tested the strength of the various protective shields of the Mercury base. Under the condition that the comprehensive defense system is activated, he couldn't even break the first layer of the shield, let alone the energy core with tighter defense. Clark and Diana together couldn't shake it at all."

"Under these circumstances, the Mercury base was torn apart in an instant. This means that the enemy who attacked it is unimaginably powerful. If you encounter him, I'm afraid it's ominous."

Injustice Superman looked straight at Oliver, as if judging whether what he said was true, because this was truly beyond imagination.

"Follow me, Clark," Injustice Batman suddenly stood up and said. "We are going to the top floor of Luthor Group to defend. We must ensure that their command system doesn't have problems. Only if the Justice League wins can we complete the mission."

Injustice Superman hesitated in place, but finally followed Injustice Batman and left.

Oliver let out a long breath, but didn't delay for half a second, and arrived at the confidential communication room dedicated to Luthor Group at the fastest speed, and picked up the dedicated line phone.

"Hello, Moscow. This is Oliver Queen. I believe you have already discovered the anomalies in the solar system. On behalf of the Justice League, I issue a notice to you."

"A few minutes ago, a powerful existence far beyond human imagination invaded the solar system and destroyed Mercury within three seconds. It is currently impossible to judge whether he will invade Earth, but you must be prepared."

Oliver's voice gradually overlapped with Lex's. Lex leaned over to look at the screen on the table, holding the headset in one hand, and said to the other side:

"Now, I require you to issue a notice to all countries around the world, immediately enter a global alert state. All troops immediately enter a combat state, ready to intercept."

"And, notify all the public as much as possible, and be ready to evacuate and take refuge at any time. God bless us."

After hanging up the phone, Lex said to his subordinates behind him: "Prepare the plane, and contact the President, I want to go to Washington personally."

A few minutes later, Lex boarded the special plane and flew to Washington at the fastest speed. At the same time, he received news from the Mercury front line—Hal had already taken photos of the scene.

On the plane, Lex clicked on the photos he sent. There is no doubt that Mercury basically no longer exists. The wreckage in the explosion area spread outward in a radial shape, and the farthest fragments have even entered the orbits of other planets, which is enough to see the strength of the impact at that time.

This state can explain two things: First, the other party indeed invested in the center of the base without any effort and directly destroyed the energy core; Second, the other party's goal was not the Mercury base.

The first point is easy to understand: the other party didn't smash Mercury from the outside in, but from the inside out, directly causing the Mercury base to explode from the inside, which is why it presented radial fragments.

The second point is that the other party thought the Mercury base was worthless and didn't have any intention to preserve this man-made planet, nor did he care if there were people and other equipment inside. His goal was only one, and that was destruction.

Immediately after, Hal also sent more news—this is also the only good news so far: there were no casualties in the base.

It was a holiday, so there were no students on Mercury. And because Hal wanted to build a new base on Mars, the Green Lanterns had all gone to explore Mars City. Except for the two Green Lanterns left behind, there was no one in the Mercury base.

And because the other party's breakthrough speed was too fast, those two Green Lanterns didn't have time to find the enemy, and Mercury exploded. Fortunately, they had Green Lantern energy to protect their bodies, so they weren't injured.

From the news he sent, Lex basically reconstructed the whole picture of this surprise attack event:

An unidentified existence rushed to the side of Mercury, spent about three seconds breaking through all the defenses of Mercury, directly destroyed the Mercury energy core and triggered an explosion, causing the entire Mercury to disintegrate and be completely destroyed, and then disappeared without a trace.

Lex sent all the data to the President's team and added a sentence: "If you don't want Earth to be destroyed, call Moscow at the fastest speed."
