Chapter 3544: Edge of Tomorrow (1)

Metropolis. In a bar invested in by the Luthor Group. Wine glasses were held high and collided together. Foam splashed in front of one smiling face after another.

"Cheers!"

Followed by a series of cheers.

Clark gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold sparkling wine, let out a satisfied sigh, fell back onto the soft sofa, and rubbed his head against the surface of the fabric sofa.

"Finally over," Diana fell beside him.

Bruce handed over the jelly bean jar, and Diana took a few and shared them with Clark beside her. The three threw the jelly beans into their mouths together.

On the dance floor on the other side, Hal was shaking his head and swaying to the rhythm of the jazz music. Oliver walked over from the bar and placed an ice bucket and a bottle of wine on the table.

"Didn't you say you wanted to chat with J'onn? Why did you come over so quickly?" Diana looked at him and asked.

"Don't mention it, he's been complaining to me for 20 minutes about that crappy movie. I really don't want to hear him repeat the plot again."

Bruce laughed immediately. Diana rolled her eyes at him, pulled the wooden cork out of the wine bottle with force, picked up a glass, poured wine into it, and then said: "J'onn saved our lives, otherwise this guy would have played that movie for us to watch."

"It's a good thing you didn't watch it, the plot is really rotten to the core," J'onn's voice appeared behind them.

"Oh, come on," Clark hurriedly raised his volume and said, "You can watch it by yourself, there's no need to share it with us!"

Lex walked over, sat down in the last empty seat on the sofa, and said: "Although that movie comes from the world next door, I heard the director is one of ours. It's really embarrassing for both worlds."

"I hope this damn director doesn't get caught by me," J'onn said through gritted teeth.

"Is it really that bad?" Bruce said, "I think it's okay, except for the plot being a bit draggy, it's barely acceptable."

"Do you know? When you say this, I really understand the Professor a bit," Diana couldn't help but complain, "Your taste is just too bad. If that movie can be called okay, is there any bad movie in this world?"

"Think on the bright side, if you've watched this bad movie, all the movies in the world will be good movies to you," Bruce shrugged and said.

"Also. After reading your thesis, who in the world doesn't know psychology," Clark also said.

Teasing Bruce's thesis had become a daily topic for the Justice League, and everyone could at least tell two or three thesis jokes.

"Have Pam and the others gone back?" Oliver asked, "They left too hurriedly, not even attending the victory party."

"They seem to have been called away by someone," Lex said, "seems to be that Amanda Waller again. Who knows what she wants to do."

"She must be very proud recently," Diana said, "This kind of supernatural event is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Shield. Washington is desperately trying to ask Amanda about the movements of the Justice League."

"Although she is a bit meddlesome and sometimes too confident, her starting point is considered good," Oliver said very fairly, "Anyway, there must be an organization in the world to deal with supernatural events, letting Amanda lead it is already the best result."

"This is why I often feel desperate about the talent pool of federal politics," Lex said after taking a sip of wine.

Hal walked over with a plate of snacks, put the plate on the table, and said: "Barry that kid runs too fast, I still have an account to settle with him."

"Alright, how old is he? Why are you arguing with a 20-year-old kid?" Oliver threw a potato chip into his mouth and said, "Besides, didn't nothing happen in the end?"

"That's what's said, but..."

"Stop talking, drink, drink," Bruce began to pour wine for the people beside him.

A party lasted for most of the night, and everyone was drunk. Waking up early the next morning, Oliver touched his throbbing head and whispered: "... Did I forget something?"

After speaking, he picked up his phone, rubbed his forehead while squinting, and slid down the screen.

Only then did he see that shortly after the meeting broke up yesterday, Batman sent him a message:

"Our main mission has been announced, it is to thwart Brainiac's conspiracy to invade Earth. Come to the conference room and let's talk?"

In the conference room of Luthor Manor, the two teams of Batman and Superman stared at each other and waited for a whole night.

Oliver supported the door frame and walked in, swaying to sit in the chair, then lay on the table, took a deep breath, and said: "Good morning, everyone."

"I'm afraid we are not very good," Batman said, "What did you do last night? Dealing with the wreckage of Mercury? Exploring Krypton? Or interrogating that super Kryptonian?"

Before Oliver could answer, Hal also flew in swaying, sat on the chair with a thud, and said: "My God, we didn't break up until three o'clock yesterday, and you called me over at six o'clock this morning. Is the Justice League not protected by labor laws?!"

Clark and Diana flew in yawning. Clark waved his hand and said: "Bruce went to study his crappy phone again, he won't come today, I guess Lex won't come either."

"What's wrong with Lex?" Oliver asked, trying to stay awake.

"Bruce is studying that crappy phone on his turf, of course he has to watch, otherwise he'll have to say goodbye to the most valuable equipment in his lab again."

"What about J'onn? Did J'onn leave too?"

"He has to help his daughter with her manual homework, it has to be handed in tomorrow at school. He had never done it before, so he had to go back and learn it today. He flew back right after the party broke up yesterday."

"He's really something," Hal sighed, "It's different after having children."

Oliver's phone suddenly rang. After seeing the message on it, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Alright, it seems I don't have time to accompany you either."

"What's wrong?"

"Black Canary is back from Mexico and wants to have a meal with me."

Everyone let out an "Oh—" in unison, and then laughed secretly one after another.

"Cough cough." Oliver coughed twice lightly, and then said, "We are just friends, don't think too much."

"Lois often said this before too," Diana looked at Clark and then said, "And now some people have already started picking out Valentine's Day gifts."

Oliver curled his lips, looking like he couldn't be bothered to argue with them, his fingers tapping on the phone keyboard constantly, seemingly editing a message.

"You haven't said what you called us here for yet," Hal tapped the table to remind him.

Oliver pursed his lips toward the front. Others looked at the Supermen and Batmen sitting behind the table one after another.

"We just received our main mission," Superman spoke first, "It's to deal with Brainiac. Do you have any ideas?"

"That's not our business anymore," Hal stretched and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I have to go to the Fighting World to purchase equipment, and I have to renovate Mars City, I don't have time for the next month."

"Don't look at me," Clark also shook his head and said, "I'm really exhausted recently, I'm going to take annual leave."

"Me too," Diana crossed her hands, put them on top of her head, and stretched, saying, "I'm going back to the Amazon to visit relatives, I've already asked for leave. If you hadn't called me over, I might have already arrived."

After speaking, several people stood up, ready to disperse.

"Wait," Batman stopped them, he said, "Brainiac is a quite evil artificial intelligence, he has launched many disasters in our universe, destroyed many civilizations, and is a great enemy of the Justice League."

"Now he is on Krypton, and Krypton was brought to the solar system by you, aren't you afraid he will take this opportunity to invade Earth?"

"Hmm." Oliver nodded, let out a monosyllable, and then fell onto the table again, saying, "But I have a headache, I'm going back to sleep. Good night."

After speaking, he left, leaving only Batman messy in the wind.

Others also dispersed in twos and threes. Before leaving, Clark also said: "The Justice League solved H'el and got a new Mercury for Earth, which is already great. Now we are off work, let others worry about the rest."

The conference room returned to silence.

The two Batmen seemed to have been shocked in their worldview. Looking at their expressions, one could roughly know where this shock came from—it turns out the Justice League can go off work?

"Usually it's fine, but now with such a big super villain hanging over our heads, you just go off work like this?!"

But no matter how unbelievable they were, the Justice League of this universe was determined to go off work. Not only did they all go home and leave cleanly in one night, but by lunchtime, not a single one could be contacted.

So the question is: what about Brainiac?

Batman and the Supermen didn't know either.

After receiving the notification of the main mission release, they also felt a bit unexpected. They didn't expect that the previous ones were all appetizers, and in the end, they still had to fight Brainiac.

Injustice Superman and Injustice Batman were even more speechless. The two of them came to the Fighting World to find opportunities because they couldn't beat Brainiac. As a result, you tell me that coming here is still to fight Brainiac, then didn't I come for nothing?

After receiving the main mission, they originally planned to see what methods the Justice League of this universe could come up with.

Although the Justice League of this universe looks very unreliable, this group of people ran around and really solved the problems of H'el and Mercury. In the process of dealing with Brainiac, maybe they could come up with some good ideas for them to learn from.

Injustice Batman didn't calculate that the Justice League of this universe would go off work directly.

They can go off work, but he can't. If the main mission is not completed, there is no reward, and then he still can't solve Brainiac after going back.

"What now?" Superman asked, "It seems they really don't intend to help... no, Brainiac is invading their Earth, we are the ones helping."

"I don't think they will really let it go," Batman speculated, "Or, they are confident that Brainiac can't get in. After all, they still have the magical defense network, that thing is really magical."

"The key is that they don't even care about Krypton anymore," Superman said, "And there is a series of aftermath matters, no one is doing it at all. It's comparable to the homework group I formed in college."

"So after coming for such a long time, haven't you found that they are unreliable?" Injustice Superman said with some sarcasm, "They are unreliable at any time and in any matter."

"But they still achieved success," Injustice Batman said.

"That's because the enemy couldn't predict their actions either," Injustice Superman continued, "Guess, is Brainiac ready with a belly full of rhetoric now, intending to negotiate with them?"

Although he didn't want to agree with Injustice Superman, but thinking that Brainiac would be like himself, waiting and waiting, waiting for nothing, Injustice Batman even wanted to laugh a little.
