Chapter 3524: This Man Comes from Krypton (2)

At the door of the President's office, Lex adjusted his tie. Accompanied by the slow opening of the big door, the crisp sound of leather shoes was slightly hurried.

"I believe you have already read the data, so I won't talk nonsense. Simply put, there is a monster that smashed Mercury with one blow, and now we don't know if he will come toward Earth."

"We need more data," the President's assistant said, "so that we can evaluate the threat of the other party and take action."

Lex's tone was very impatient, and he said: "Listen to what I say—your evaluation has no effect. Because currently, there is no weapon on Earth that can deal with him, we can only count on the Justice League now."

"The Justice League is actively taking measures. They will ensure that the possibility of Earth suffering harm is minimized, and you don't need to pay any price for this. What you need to do is manage yourselves well."

"I'll repeat it again. My coming here or whoever goes to Moscow, our purpose is the same. That is to ensure that you have the ability to manage yourselves well at such a time and not add chaos to the Justice League. Understand?"

"We need to give the public an explanation," the President said, "it doesn't have to be the whole truth, but we always have to let them know what we are making such a big fuss for. Otherwise, it might cause panic, which will be even more troublesome."

"You want to make the data public? No, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. Soon they will all know."

"What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally sufficient light in the President's office slowly dimmed.

Everyone turned their heads in horror to look out the window. That bright star that always hung high in the sky was being swallowed by some kind of terrifying dark energy.

"This... this..." The President backed away a few steps in horror, almost knocking over his chair.

"This is what we did," Lex said, "we added a layer of protective shield to the sun. The purpose is to prevent the enemy from destroying the solar system by detonating the sun."

"Next, until the alarm is lifted, the ultraviolet intensity will drop by 90%. You need to be prepared to welcome a polar night of more than two months. The specific time depends on how difficult the other party is to deal with."

The President's mouth couldn't close at all. He turned around somewhat tremblingly and said: "Will the sun still shine?"

"Once the matter is resolved, it will be restored immediately. I require you to explain this to the public. This is a protective measure. Understand?"

"We might not be able to make them fully understand..."

"You just need to let them know. Then send out the guard and the army to ensure they stay where they should be. Okay?"

The President swallowed his saliva and nodded.

The same scene also happened in the Kremlin. Oliver's voice came from the phone:

"What you need to do is not add chaos. Relieve public panic as much as possible and control them. Prepare sufficient survival supplies to welcome the arrival of a period of polar night."

"Of course. If you want to know more detailed battle conditions or need help, then send someone you trust over..."

Accompanied by the sun being swallowed, the humans on Earth naturally panicked inevitably. But soon, countless government decrees were issued from the capitals of various countries.

The ways of explanation were varied, but the content was about the same: aliens attacked Mercury, and covering the sun with something was to protect Earth. The Justice League is working hard to fight the enemy, but this situation might last for several months.

This is the 11th article in their emergency plan prepared before: once a planetary-level disaster appears in the solar system, the sun must be protected immediately.

The so-called planetary-level disaster is that the other party has the power to easily destroy a planet. This level of power can also easily affect the sun. And the best way to destroy the solar system is to destroy the sun.

Whether it is detonating the sun directly or extinguishing the sun directly, the solar system will basically be finished. Not just the solar system, every star system basically has similar principles. So if a star system encounters an enemy, the most important work is to protect the star.

Bruce hovered not far from the sun. At this moment, the entire huge star had been wrapped by dark energy from Barbatos.

This power is very strange; it won't affect heat dissipation, but it will affect light. Light has no way to walk out of the energy shield, so looking from Earth, the sun seems to be in a solar eclipse. The whole world has entered the night. This is a defense measure they have practiced long ago.

Bruce got a lot of energy from Barbatos, but dark energy is not as easy to use as Green Lantern energy. Because this energy is the dark power of the world's origin, it basically pollutes whoever uses it. The outcome can refer to the Dark Knights Batman.

Bruce also once wanted to use this power to build a transportation network in Cat Getan. Cat Getan people indeed have a relatively high resistance to this, but no matter how high it is, it can't withstand higher energy concentration. Ordinary humans still can't bear it.

So most of the energy was stored by Bruce as an emergency reserve. Isn't it used now?

Actually, even if the entire sun was wrapped in a thick shield, it only used a small part of the energy. Bruce still has a lot there. For the next few days, his work was to squat next to the sun and constantly charge the shield.

Hal and Barry, who have the ability to retreat quickly, were patrolling near the sun, searching for H'El's figure.

"Too terrifying," Barry sighed, "it's hard to imagine what kind of existence can shatter a planet with one blow."

"Can't you do it too?"

"I'm taking a shortcut," Barry shook his head and said, "using speed to cut through space. Essentially, the planet didn't disintegrate, it's just that space shattered."

"The result is the same," Hal said, "if the other party is too strong, you might have to join the battle this time, you'd better be prepared."

"I've always been preparing."

"Got it," Hal pointed in one direction and said, "this way."

The two flew over. Hal found the black box that was constantly emitting signals among the fragments of half a room.

"J'onn, we found the black box, and we are rushing back now... wait."

Hal suddenly stopped his steps. He looked around left and right, then looked at Barry and said: "Do you feel anything?"

"What?"

"It seems like someone is watching us." A trace of horror flashed in Hal's eyes. He turned around in a circle, but saw nothing.

Barry saw that his expression didn't look fake, so he tried to shout in his heart: "Professor Xavier, are you there?"

"I am," Charles's voice appeared in his mind, and then said, "I am helping you resist the peeping of a certain existence."

Barry took a deep breath and said: "So he is still here, he hasn't left?!"

"No, his main body might have left, but he left something similar to a projection. If your mental power is not strong enough, you won't see him. But he can observe you."

"I suggest you leave here quickly. Because he might return at any time. Judging from his mental strength, you cannot be his opponent."

Barry hurriedly pulled Hal and said: "It might be your illusion, let's leave quickly."

After speaking, regardless of whether Hal agreed or not, Barry pulled him into the Speed Force and took him back to Earth at the fastest speed.

After returning, Barry breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked cautiously in his mind: "Have we escaped his observation range?"

"It should be fine already."

Only then did Barry tell Hal about the conversation with Charles in his mind just now. Hal also shuddered after hearing it: having Charles there to haunt is not enough, and now another invisible projection has come out. And no one told him that working in the Justice League also requires ghost hunting!

The two returned to Luthor Tower, put the black box into the machine and started playing, and at the same time sent the image data to everyone.

The black box was aimed at the energy core, the viewing angle was very narrow, but it was shot very clearly. After the ripples of intense energy interference, a gray-white figure flashed past the lens. Immediately after, Mercury disintegrated.

Hal controlled the machine to slow down the footage again and again. Finally, he saw a strong man with gray-white skin, long black hair, and a suspected inverted triangle logo on his chest.

His upper body was naked, and his skin presented a gray-white color with a metallic luster. His lower body wore pants, and a long red cape was wrapped around his waist, flying backward as he ran.

Zooming in on the lens, one could see that his facial features were quite three-dimensional and handsome, but there were several scars on his face. The lip part was the most seriously injured, looking like it had been sewn up by something.

Because his speed was too fast, he flashed past the lens, and nothing more could be seen.

At this time, Charles's voice appeared in J'onn's telepathic network: "The projection I saw was also like this."

This basically confirmed: the man appearing in the lens was the culprit behind the disintegration of the Mercury base.

Hal punched the table, but the angry emotion only erupted for an instant before being suppressed by him.

Now, everyone in the telepathic network was asking the same question—why did he destroy Mercury?

Suddenly appearing, destroying Mercury, and then suddenly disappearing. It was as if he appeared just to destroy Mercury.

But destroying Mercury, besides causing property damage to Earth, had no other benefits. Did he do this just to make Earth unhappy?

But as a surface civilization, Earth had no chance to offend aliens, and had not formed a feud with any alien civilization.

Besides, he had the ability to blow up Mercury with one punch, so blowing up Earth probably wouldn't take a few punches. If he chose to directly raid Earth, the Justice League would be in real trouble.

"Still need to observe," Oliver said, "he is observing us, and we are observing him, but we have an intelligence advantage. The Professor should be able to figure out who he is very soon."

Schiller, who was in his office at Cat Getan University, also received the latest photos. Before, Harry described it to him, and he couldn't lock onto a specific character, but as soon as he saw the photo, he knew—this guy is H'El.
