Chapter 3588

The roar of the Indian fire god pulled everyone's thoughts back. Accompanied by the skeleton opening its big mouth, countless flames ignited around him, as if the great fire that burned thousands of years ago had never been extinguished.

In an instant, all the robots were swallowed by tongues of fire. Even if they had metal-structured bodies, they were completely unable to resist in the flames of thousands of degrees. The bullets fired were all melted into liquid in an instant, dripping onto the ground.

The big fire lasted less than five minutes, and all the figures in the fire disappeared. When the others walked out of the building again, there were no robots in the inner courtyard, only molten iron all over the ground.

But strangely, the ground didn't change at all. Just like the vines Pamela made, when the vines disappeared, the ground would return to its original state, as if the anomaly just now had never appeared.

Looking at the molten metal, Injustice Batman pursed his lips. He turned his head to look at El Diablo, but El Diablo's expression was indifferent.

"Inside your body..."

"At first, I didn't know what that was either," El Diablo bypassed from the side, walking towards the construction site while saying, "But he is not bad. He gave me a lot of guidance. I believe he is a true god."

Injustice Batman looked at his back, his expression appearing a bit deep. Afterward, Pamela also arrived; she appeared a bit hurried, but soon caught up with the main force.

After arriving at the construction site, they discovered that the construction progress here was actually not that fast. Not to mention that the building in front hadn't been demolished, the foundation of the building behind hadn't even been laid.

"Making a big stir isn't that easy," Harley didn't know where she got a baseball bat, rested it on the back of her neck, hung her hands on both sides, and spent quite a bit of effort to walk out the pace of a street hooligan.

Everyone else knew what she said made sense. If this were a completed high-rise building, they would just knock it down. But there was nothing here, the foundation wasn't even laid, so how could they make the big stir Amanda wanted?

"How about this," Harley's eyeballs rolled and she said, "I still have quite a few bombs there; we'll blow up that building, and it should count as completing the mission."

"The West District is too far," Pamela said, "By the time we move the bombs over, who knows how long it will take. Let's just freeze the entire construction base, so he can't build it even if he wants to."

"No problem," Victor nodded and said. Then he took something out of his handbag, not a common freeze grenade, but a deployable freeze device. This thing was the culprit that froze Gotham back then.

Victor usually didn't take it out because it was indeed a bit dangerous. Once deployed, it couldn't be retracted, and it was all large-area freezing. And if it was frozen and one wanted to thaw it, it could only be thawed bit by bit, and couldn't be thawed directly like a freeze gun.

He put the device on the ground and said to the others, "You guys spread out."

Seeing several people retreating backward, Victor turned around and said helplessly, "I mean you guys have to leave here completely, that is, this entire range. I have to go too, otherwise we will all be frozen inside together."

So, the squad left the construction site. The freeze device installed at the site soon took effect.

Don't look at the large range, but after the freeze device started, it froze this entire area in about two seconds.

And this time the freezing was not the thickness of the ice sculptures brought by the bullets fired by the freeze gun. The ice layer frozen on the outside of the building was more than two meters thick. Deadshot tried to fire a shot, but didn't even leave a mark.

"God," he exclaimed.

Now the entire Brainiac Center was completely frozen, forming a magnificent ice sculpture.

Such a big stir naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Although it was already midnight, this was the city center, and there were plenty of people still working overtime. Seeing the buildings around them frozen, they immediately ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the excitement.

Not long after, the TV station's helicopter also came. But at this time, the squad had already withdrawn. Just what they didn't know was that the drone that had been filming them flew straight towards the TV station's helicopter.

The helicopter pilot was startled, thinking it was a suicide attack, and hurriedly controlled the helicopter to turn. But the reporter on the helicopter had already received Brainiac's message. He stopped the pilot and waited for that drone to fly onto the helicopter.

The drone landed steadily on the helicopter. The reporter took the camera down in three or two strokes, pulled out the cassette inside the camera, and inserted it into the player.

"My God!" The female reporter looked at the screen in the player, dumbfounded, and then immediately patted the seat back beside her and said, "Quick! Quick! Return! Big news!"

The content in the videotape appeared on almost every news channel the next morning: countless vines rising into the sky, the Indian ancestor god descending in the flames, the freeze device that was small but could directly freeze the entire building...

Looking at the reports from the news media, Amanda smiled with satisfaction. Having caused such a big stir, she didn't believe Congress wouldn't come to negotiate with her.

And Shiler, who had returned to the Tomorrow League base, also smiled. This was the effect he wanted.

"Why do you want to help Amanda?" Brainiac asked.

"Do you think I'm helping her?"

"Yes. She now has enough heavy bargaining chips and can completely talk to the congressmen. The congressmen will make concessions because they fear the power in her hands."

"They would have before," Shiler said.

"Before?"

"Amanda has many shortcomings. Stubborn, reckless, stupid, but the most fatal one is that she doesn't look at problems with a developmental perspective. If a strategy succeeds once, she thinks it can succeed ten thousand times, never knowing how to adapt to local conditions and guide according to the situation."

"Can you elaborate?"

"Before you came, Amanda's way was useful. Superpowered people are like a knife; whoever holds it has the advantage. But these people are not so easy to control."

"Those too weak have no ability, and those too strong cannot be controlled. So many people, even if they covet this power, won't choose to collect these people because the risk is too high. Most are losing businesses."

"However, once someone succeeds, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Regardless of how isolated and helpless he was before, or how bad the situation was, as long as he can unite a group of superpowered people around him, his words will be useful."

"Currently Amanda has achieved this point, don't worry about how she did it. She has now gathered a group of superpowered people who are both strong and obedient. This is her bargaining chip to negotiate with anyone, and in any force, this chip is quite heavy."

"However, the premise is that politicians have no other choice."

"Ordinary people couldn't deal with superpowered people before. Ordinary armies are like a joke in the face of such power. Unless they can use destructive weapons like missiles that hurt the enemy by a thousand and themselves by twelve hundred, it is very difficult to deal with them."

"So no matter who Amanda wants to talk to, the other party has no other choice. If you don't make concessions to Amanda, she will take this knife and stab you. Whoever is stabbed will feel pain. They can only compromise."

"But it's different now," Shiler smiled and said, "They have another choice, and that is you."

"Me?"

"That's right. Ordinary people can't deal with superpowered people, but that doesn't mean you can't. You are a super artificial intelligence. Compared to those ethereal magic and superpowers that no one understands, humans can actually understand your strength better."

Brainiac still didn't quite understand, and he said, "What does this mean?"

"Humans are not a magical race," Shiler said, "On the contrary, we are a technological race, accurately speaking, a scientific race. Our imagination of our own limits is to reach the end of science, not to reach the end of some mysticism."

"In the eyes of ordinary people, science is more reliable. Between a logically clear artificial intelligence and a group of mentally abnormal violent maniacs, humans will instinctively choose the former."

"Even if I am an alien?"

"Actually, you can't be considered an alien," Shiler said, "Because the Kryptonian race has already perished, and the planet Krypton has become human private property. Just like the seat cushion that comes with buying a car is also your property, not the salesperson's."

Brainiac was silent for a while, because he realized a problem: in terms of legitimacy, he was even higher than Task Force X.

Of course, the Federal Shield was not an illegal organization, and could be considered a law enforcement agency under the FBI. But since it was a legal law enforcement agency, it had to abide by the basic law.

Brainiac didn't break the law. The land where the Brainiac Center was built was allocated to him through legal procedures. It was completely reasonable and legal for people to build their own buildings on their own land, and the robots arranged on it also belonged to their legal property.

As a result, a group of lunatics rushed onto someone else's land, caused a big mess in someone else's home, and then froze the building. Isn't this illegal and criminal?

And there was also a logic in it, which was that the Justice League worked hard to promote Krypton becoming Earth's property. This was the result they got after settling several big troubles.

Brainiac belonged to the gift that came with Krypton. This gift might be harmful, but it hadn't been shown yet. Brainiac hadn't really done anything to harm humans. So at this stage, his value was greater than the risk.

If you want to say Brainiac is an alien, it's equivalent to not admitting Krypton is Earth's property. Would the Justice League be happy?

Don't say Brainiac hasn't done anything yet; even if he really was an evil artificial intelligence, he would still have to be Earth's. This was the compensation after Krypton brought so many troubles to Earth. Even if it's a piece of shit, it must be Earth-born shit!

This was the Justice League's claim. Whoever opposes this claim is opposing the Justice League.

The Justice League is off work, but it's not off work forever. Don't say the people in the Justice League, even Lex Luthor can't pass this hurdle.

The human supremacy of Lex Luthor in this universe is very extensive. Damn aliens should go back to their hometown. But if their hometown rolls over to become human property, then he is also very welcome.

On the other hand, behind Pamela is the Green of All Things, and behind El Diablo is the Indian ancestor god. These two are definitely not humans, and have nothing to do with humans.

That is to say, no matter from the degree of understanding, identity stance, or the moral and legal judgment of this matter, Brainiac is in the right.

Brainiac suddenly didn't understand a bit: I came to invade Earth, right? How did it turn into a smooth sailing situation for me?

Don't say, Shiler hit the nail on the head. After the video was played, all the mainstream media hosts insisted that this was an extremely terrifying terrorist attack. People who do such things should go to hell.

Immediately after, Brainiac received contact from Washington. Congress expressed willingness to temporarily reconcile and negotiate with Brainiac, hoping to get a result that both sides are satisfied with.
