Chapter 284 Steppenwolf’S Partners
"Everything in this dream world is under my control, including time.
Dane briefly introduced Victor and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Those things are not important. Next, you have to take over Luther's role and continue to keep in touch with the people he just contacted.
Did you see what he just did?"
Victor nodded subconsciously, and then quickly reacted: "I see, is this why you asked me to act with him the whole time?"
Is this a superhero? He also uses dirty tactics!
"You already know that St. Roch's incident is related to him, so do you think you can trust him?"
Victor hesitated for a moment: "At this time, he shouldn't do anything unnecessary, right?"
Dane sneered: "That's because you don't know how capable this bald man is of causing trouble."
Strictly speaking, the character of Luther cannot be regarded as a pure villain. He is a human supremacist, and the purpose of all his actions always revolves around trying to prove this point.
Therefore, in most cases, his targets are only directed at the Superman class. Unless an ordinary person is clearly known by him to be related to the Superman class, he will also attack humans if he has to. 0
Just like Superman, when Luthor doesn't know his hidden identity, Superman is an invulnerable "873" to him.
But once he knows that the existence of Martha or Lois is Superman's weakness, he will not be pedantic and choose not to exploit such weaknesses.
In "BVS", he took advantage of the conflict between Batman and Superman, as well as Clark's weakness Martha, and almost succeeded in achieving his goal.
Even though Plan A ultimately failed, Plan B he prepared successfully killed Superman.
But only Luthor himself knew that he was taking advantage of not only Clark's weakness, but also Superman's kindness.
If Superman had as low a baseline as Lex Luthor, Luthor wouldn't be able to win, just like the Speedmaster of the Crime Syndicate.
A Superman who lacks a baseline can make Lex Luthor run away.
"Forget about that bald head, let's talk about your mission."
Victor thought for a while, but gave up reminding Shazam that Luther was not bald, at least not now.
He didn't know why Shazam was so sure that Luther would be bald in the future.
"You have just watched the whole process of Luther's actions. If you were asked to take over and maintain the contact with these people, would you be able to do it?"
"But I'm not Luther."
"But you can simulate Luthor's approach to dealing with them, right?"
Victor thought about it carefully. He had just recorded Luther's behavior pattern and language style, which would not have been seen through if he had not been in face-to-face contact.
If it was just on the electronic screen, he could even communicate with those people using Luther's portrait and guarantee that he would not be shown the house.
So he nodded to Dane: "I think I should be able to do it."
"Okay, then I'll leave these people to you. I don't require them to work together as one, but I hope that when I need them, they will point their guns at the outside and face the intruders. You understand. I mean?"
Victor nodded, then hesitated for a while and said, "Then I...still work here?"
Although this dream world felt very realistic, it was still fake in the end, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Dane saw his resistance to this place, and he wondered if it might be because Victor knew that everything here was false, so it was easier to associate him with it.
So he said: "Although you don't need to stay here often, in order to fight against the power of the 'Mother Box', you still need to spend some time here to perform tasks."
Those dignitaries were actually pulled into the dream world. Otherwise, only a few hours had passed in reality. How could Luther have completed the contact?
It's just that each of them didn't enter the dream for a long time. After the explanation of the matter, they would be thrown back into the real world by Dane. With their naked eyes, they could not see the difference between the two worlds.
Victor knew this was a big deal, so he had no other complaints and nodded: "I understand."
"By the way, there's another heavy thing.
"What?"
"Welcome to the Justice League."
When Dane basically completed all the preparations, the progress on Steppenwolf quickly came to an end.
On this day, Luther walked into the Star Laboratory again. He looked like he had deep dark circles under his eyes.
His female assistant Mercy asked with concern: "Are you okay, Lex?"
"It's nothing, I just feel like I haven't been able to sleep well lately. It feels... like I'm subconsciously resisting falling asleep." Luther shook his head, "Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently."
"Do you need me to hire a private doctor for you?" Mercy suggested.
Luther was about to refuse, but then he thought about losing a lot of hair when he woke up this morning, frowned, but nodded silently.
Mercy got his response and stormed out of the room.
Luther calmed down, put on a business smile and walked into the laboratory door.
Steppenwolf just glanced at him and turned his head again. In front of him, the three "Mother Boxes" each emitted a color of light and were already in a semi-activated state.
At this time, Steppenwolf spoke: "The activation of the mother boxes is about to reach the critical value. They will be fully activated in seven days. Before that, I want you to ensure that there will be no accidents in the power supply here!"
Luther quickly replied: "No problem, but my friend, until now, you still can't tell me what you want to do by activating this 'Mother Box'?"
Although he tried countless times, Luther would bring up this issue every time.
Sometimes Steppenwolf also wonders, isn't this human afraid that he will really crush him to death?
But maybe it’s because the harvest is about to come, or maybe he’s been here for too long and wants to find someone to talk to, or maybe he thinks Luther, a human being, can’t change the overall situation at all, so this time Steppenwolf actually answered for the first time Luther's problem.
"When the Mother Box is fully activated, they will immediately execute the 'Trinity' protocol. At that time, their power will purify the planet and reshape it, making it a new Apocalypse star, my Apocalypse star!"
After he finished speaking, he stared at Luther, observing every move of this human being.
If Luther wants to take any countermeasures at the moment, Steppenwolf will let him know how vulnerable human power is in front of the Star.
But what surprised Steppenwolf was that Luther didn't feel any weird at all, as if what Steppenwolf said was just a trivial matter.
He just nodded calmly: "I see, the ultimate goal is to occupy this planet?"
It was just a clichéd goal. The last alien that tried to rule the earth had been eliminated by the Justice League. He believed that this time it would be no surprise.
Huh? Why is he so sure?
Luther felt a little strange, but he quickly put the matter behind him and tried to continue to obtain information.
"If you want to accomplish this, then there must be an organization that is an opponent you can't get around..."
Steppenwolf sneered: "Ah, definitely, I know what you are talking about, Justice League.
A demigod with the power of the Old Gods, a Kryptonian, a hybrid between an Amazon and an Old God, a Green Lantern Corps, and a Martian who fears fire..."
As for others, such as Batman or Constantine, they were not taken seriously by Steppenwolf from the beginning.
Although Steppenwolf has not been on Earth for a long time, he has already learned about the situation of all superheroes on Earth through the "Mother Box", especially the Justice League.
As for other heroic organizations, most of them are not worth mentioning.
What Steppenwolf is worried about is nothing more than Shazam, the user of the power of the old gods, and the Kryptonians.
He believed that only these two people could truly pose a fatal threat to him.
"But they are no longer a threat to me now, not anymore, the Mother Boxes act much faster than you can imagine, they only take a split second.
In just an instant, the world will change, and the Justice League will not have any time to react, and you, the Earth, will no longer have a chance to unite. Your end has arrived!"
Although Luther is a smart man, he has flaws in his character that can be exploited.
Although Steppenwolf promised him that he would help him complete the technical cracking of the Kryptonian spacecraft, Luther did not stay in the laboratory all the time.
He is a capitalist, not a researcher, and his intelligence is used to meet the needs of the former. What kind of creature is a capitalist?
They are a group of misers who constantly suppress new technologies in order to gain absolute control over limited resources.
When Steppenwolf learned the news, he almost laughed to death. With Krypton's technology, there are almost countless resources in the solar system that can be enjoyed by all mankind.
And what Lex Luthor was thinking about was how to extract energy from the core of the earth in order to surpass Umbrella technology and eventually become the planet's energy giant and the dominator of the energy industry!
This is also the reason why Steppenwolf looks down on humans. Before Apocalypse began to enslave this planet, they were already thinking about how to enslave their own race. Is there any reason why such a race should not be destroyed in 1.8?
On the surface, he was helping Luthor crack the technology of the Kryptonian spacecraft, but in fact he had known the technology of the ship for a long time, and this time was very early.
In fact, long before Luther decided to launch the "Apple Core" project, Steppenwolf carefully selected the Kryptonian spacecraft that sealed the Doomsday for him.
He had found the ship with the help of someone in advance, and extracted Doomsday's tissue cells from it. Then he destroyed the original rigid structure of the ship.
Otherwise, a sealed cabin containing a super biochemical weapon like Doomsday would be drilled by a human drilling machine. Think about it, is this reasonable?
Moreover, this spaceship has been buried under the rock formations for tens of thousands of years. Superman and Dane failed to find it when they searched here. However, Luther discovered the radiation in this place when he needed to launch the "Apple Core" project.
Doesn’t this all seem too coincidental?
The truth is that all of this is Steppenwolf's plan, and every step Luther takes to this point is part of his plan.
In other words, he thought it was in his plan, "It is impossible for Steppenwolf, who only thinks about fighting and killing, to formulate such a complex and sophisticated plan.
Before he found Lex Luthor, he had another, more astute collaborator named "Vandal Savage"!
