Chapter 3931

Not until the agents under his command took Luthor away did Clark emerge from the shadows in the corner of the room. His eyelashes trembled slightly as he took a lightning-fast look at the Schiller before him.

"What were you just talking about?" Schiller asked.

"He has a plan," Clark said immediately. "He wants to create a body for that electronic lifeform, then use a trap to force it to use that body, and finally trap it inside and destroy it."

"What kind of trap?"

"Deliberately creating conflict with the President, using self-defense as an excuse to manufacture a mechanical army, and then causing an accident for his sister to force the electronic lifeform to control a mechanical body to save her, then locking it inside."

Schiller paused for about a second before turning to walk out. Clark called out to him, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the base, and then to find him a good place to stay."

Clark followed his pace, turned his head, and asked, "What's wrong with this plan?"

"You should be asking what isn't wrong with this plan," Schiller said, not even looking at him, walking quickly downward. "How could you think that Alexander Luthor manufacturing a mechanical legion is for the purpose of destroying an electronic lifeform?"

"What else would it be for?"

"Of course, it's to transform it into a weapon. Capture it one second, and the next, have it lead the mechanical legion to overthrow the President's rule and become the leader of the Federation himself."

"How is he going to control it?"

"Since he has a way to restrict it to a body, he naturally has a way to control it. If he can't control it, he can negotiate terms; he just needs to pull the President down."

"But he said he would let me destroy the mechanical body."

"A simple wedge strategy. If you destroy that mechanical body but the electronic lifeform still survives and overthrows Batman's rule, what will Batman think of you?"

"That makes no sense; I'm not the Superman of this universe."

"Yes, he probably didn't anticipate that either. But the wedge strategy is just a convenient side effect; whether it succeeds or not doesn't matter. If it doesn't disgust Batman, so be it; the point is to overthrow his rule."

Clark narrowed his eyes and said, "No wonder he said that guy played him. When he wanted to take revenge, I felt something was off. But this plan really sounded like the real deal."

"The Batman of this universe is very strong, which proves that the power level of this universe is very high. Whether it's Superman or Luthor, they will be the best among their counterparts. Where did the you of this universe go?"

"The Injustice League universe," Clark replied. "He's going to save that Batman."

Schiller shook his head. Clark asked again, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Another stupid idea from Batman," Schiller said with some impatience. "Thinking that since he can't leave, he'll let Superman go, but splitting forces at this time is extremely stupid. It's a good thing he remembered to call you over."

Clark sighed softly and said, "But we can't just not go; the Superman of that universe really did go too far."

"How is it over at the Dark Universe?"

"Spider-Man went. The role he can play is very limited, but all in all, he solved quite a few messes, allowing Batman to free up his hands to deal with the electronic lifeform."

They took the elevator to the bottom floor of the Luthor Group. Schiller stopped in front of his car and said, "I'm going to take Luthor to the Batcave. You go watch over his sister; don't let Lena be in any danger."

"I don't understand. If Luthor's plan isn't needed, why let his sister continue to contact the electronic lifeform?"

"That is part of my plan, or to be precise, it's Iron Man and the others'. Things like feelings aren't achieved overnight; someone has to play the role of the enlightener. Miss Luthor is a smart person; she knows what to do."

After saying this, Schiller got into the car. Watching the car slowly drive away, Clark sighed. Then he flew to the Luthor Manor, and when he landed on the balcony of Lena Luthor's room, he gave her a huge fright.

"Good heavens, why are you here?" Lena said this, then felt something was a bit wrong. She said, "How could my brother allow you to come here?"

"Just because he doesn't allow it, does that mean I can't come?"

"Uh... wait, you're not Superman, are you? Which imposter are you?"

Clark shook his head and said, "I am Superman, just not the Superman of your universe. I know you have contact with the electronic lifeform, and I have to come to protect you to prevent it from killing the donkey after the grinding is done."

Lena slowly frowned, seemingly thinking about the current situation. Clark gave her a brief introduction to Luthor's plan and then said, "This plan is theoretically feasible, so I was fooled by him. Do you think your brother would use this method to overthrow Batman's rule?"

"It's hard to say," Lena walked around the sofa, rested her hand on the back of the sofa, and thought, "To be honest, I also don't think he would destroy the electronic lifeform. Even if he destroyed the main body, he would definitely leave a backup; that's just the kind of person he is. As for whether he would go to war with Batman, that depends on the threat level of this electronic lifeform. If the plan goes very smoothly, he will definitely turn against Batman later; but if there are any twists and turns..."

"He wants to use me, and I think I can also use him," Clark lowered his eyes and said, "If I were injured when I went to destroy that body, or even almost killed, what would Luthor do?"

Lena turned her head abruptly and stared at Clark in disbelief, as if trying to see something different on his face. But the man in front of her was like a snow sculpture; the mixed temperament of coldness and gentleness covered his classical and handsome features with light snow, like an exceptionally heartless traveler.

"He would go crazy," Lena said. "Superman is very special to him, not just his enemy, but also like his Jesus Christ. A fanatic would not allow anyone to hurt his god."

"At that time, he would be completely opposed to the electronic lifeform, right?"

"Don't do this," Lena frowned and walked quickly to him, saying, "You can't hurt someone in this way; this is too cruel."

Clark was like a sculpture that had suddenly come to life, and he said in a light tone, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in my moral standards."

"You are Superman," Lena looked into his eyes and said, "Superman wouldn't use such despicable tricks, not even Kal-El would. What kind of monster are you?"

"So I was just saying," Clark smiled and said, "Mr. Agent has already taken him to the Batcave; I'm afraid he won't have much chance to build his own mechanical army."

Lena breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a chill down her back. She couldn't help but move away from the Superman in front of her, then said, "Are you sure you're here to protect me?"

"Of course. But I'm also a bit curious; the Luthor of my universe doesn't have a sister. Are you and he from the same father and mother?"

"I don't want to talk about this. If you must stay here, then stay here; I'm going upstairs to rest."

Clark just silently watched her back as she went upstairs.

Returning to her room, Lena took out her phone. She typed a line in the input field: "It must have been my brother who let him come; this is a conspiracy against both of us. Did you hear what he just said? You must stay calm and not hurt Superman, otherwise my brother will definitely deal with you like a madman."

The other party replied with a single word after a long time: "Don't worry."

After Luthor woke up, he found that he was not lying in a hospital ward, but lying in a peculiar room. Judging from the decoration style, it should be the Batcave.

Don't ask him how he figured it out—the average person shouldn't have the hobby of printing bat patterns on their own walls, especially when this pattern is three feet high. A huge bat logo covered the entire wall; if he couldn't see that, he would be blind.

Now Luthor is thinking about why he appeared in the Batcave. Although he was determined to tell Batman his plan through Superman and then legitimately build a mechanical legion, he is not one of those lunatics in Arkham Asylum. Why did Batman catch him and bring him to the Batcave?

Luthor is a serious businessman; even if he is arrested due to some charges, he can be bailed out. His lawyer will soon find the law enforcement department. If he disappears at this time, whichever department is involved will be in big trouble. Moreover, the Luthor Group cannot do without him; those shareholders will definitely try their best to find him. When things get big, won't Batman, the President, also be implicated?

Just as he was thinking about these things, he suddenly noticed shadowy figures outside the door, but judging from their build, they didn't look like Batman, and there seemed to be more than one person.

Luthor rolled off the bed. He covered his chest and coughed a few times to signal to the people outside the door that he had no intention of attacking, but the other party ignored him. Luthor poked his head out to look—good fellow, Iron Man and Black Widow.

Luthor has a ticket to the Battleworld, but people like them who are very arrogant don't like to cooperate with counterparts from other universes, so there is little communication. However, they know the more famous heroes of both worlds; even if they haven't seen their faces, they can guess roughly.

At this time, Iron Man and Black Widow were debugging a mecha, or to be precise, a robot, and another person he didn't recognize was looking at the equipment, seemingly also a scientist.

"You're awake," Seeing Natasha looked up and said, "Just in time to come and look at this parameter; the ankle's torsional force is too poor, it can't do a flying kick at all, this won't do."

"This isn't just an ankle problem; if we don't use flexible tendons, we won't meet our requirements at all," Stark said, frowning.

"But if we use biomolecular materials, the strength of the entire lower leg will drop significantly, and the running speed will also decrease; it's completely not worth the loss," Doom also said.

Luthor really felt a bit curious. He knew Iron Man was a great scientist, so the other person who could study with him shouldn't be bad either, and Black Widow might be cooperating with them in the experiment. What exactly is this luxurious combination trying to develop?

Regardless, Luthor is also a scientist, and he considers himself the most powerful scientist in the world. Encountering such a scene of academic discussion, he naturally felt his hands itching.

He walked over, first looked up and down at this body, and then couldn't help but sigh: it is simply a perfect mechanical body.

The entire body is about 2.1 meters tall. Unlike common robots, this mechanical body has bionic skin, which means it is not an iron shell. The surface skin is soft, but it is transparent, and you can clearly see the mechanical structure inside.

The structure inside the body is different from humans; there are no human internal organs, but it is centered around the reactor on the chest, but various pipes and joint parts are also very similar to humans. The whole is between a robot and a bionic person, full of the beauty of technology, and a bit of the horror of the uncanny valley effect.

"What is this?" Luthor asked.

"A body we prepared for the electronic lifeform," Seeing Natasha said, hugging her arms and explaining. "Give up your stupid and cumbersome plan; with that time, you might as well perfect this body."
