Chapter 153 Evil is Eternal—It Begins!
The five members of the "Criminal Syndicate" stand atop the Justice League Watchtower, overlooking the supervillains of Earth 0.
Inside the watchtower, after the global power outage and the subsequent takeover of all television and radio broadcasts, "The Grid" said to "Superpower":
"The global live stream is ready, Superpower. You can begin."
A drone silently detached from the Grid and hovered in front of the Justice League Watchtower.
The attached camera transmits images clearly around the world via a "grid" network.
"We are a crime syndicate, we come from another world."
"We were the masters there until humanity betrayed us, so we destroyed it."
"We've been searching for another world worth conquering, until we discovered this place."
"When we arrived, we killed those who resisted us—we wiped out the Justice League."
The leader of the "Criminal Syndicate," "Superpower," spoke to the criminals below with considerable arrogance and introduced them to the other members of the "Criminal Syndicate" one by one.
The supervillains below, as well as ordinary people around the world and superheroes who were unaware of what had happened, all wore solemn expressions.
Superhero teams such as Teen Titans and Doom Patrol are on high alert, with some superheroes even prepared to die.
They are determined to stop the criminal syndicate, led by the "Criminal Syndicate," from wreaking havoc on the planet.
Unlike most people who are either somber or tense, there are three people in the world who are having a great time right now.
"Poison Ivy" Ivy is one of them. She is mixed in with the criminals, her shoulders, which are covered by her long, bright red wavy hair, are trembling slightly, and her lips are tightly pursed, trying to force a smile.
If Connors hadn't instructed Poison Ivy not to reveal herself, Ivy would probably be laughing out loud right now.
Seeing Ivy's strange expression, "Monograph" leaned closer and whispered:
"You're from Gotham? You seem to know something?"
He was a genius scientist whose monocular lens, mounted on the bridge of his nose, possessed countless incredible functions thanks to his technological advancements.
While speaking quietly to Ivy, "Monovis" was also using the scanning function of his glasses to continuously record all the information about "Superpower".
"I don't know, I was scared by them."
"Poison Ivy" Ivy explained, but the corners of her mouth, which she tried to suppress but couldn't help turning up, betrayed her true thoughts.
"Monograph" naturally didn't believe Ivy's words. After his glasses showed that "Superman" and "Superman" had completely identical appearances, he couldn't help but take a step forward.
The one blocking the "monochrome" was "Starfish Demon". After being jostled, he realized it was someone he knew. Judging from the other person's expression, he knew that this guy wanted to stand up and say a few words.
"Starfish Demon" quickly stopped "Monograph":
"Don't stand out, Monocle! If the Justice League is really killed by them, you'll definitely get killed too if you step forward! The Justice League wouldn't let so many criminals gather here; they would have sent us to jail long ago!"
But Monocle trusted his judgment. His glasses analysis told him that the red and blue suited man in front of him was exactly the same as Superman, except for the symbol on his chest.
Poison Ivy's lips curled slightly; she could already imagine Harley Quinn's expression at that moment, and she didn't stop Monocle's actions at all.
She and the other person were not familiar with each other.
"Monoscopic Mirror" pushed aside "Starfish Demon" who was blocking its way and shouted loudly:
"Are you blind? Open your one eye and look at them! Look at him!"
He pointed at the "Superb" and shouted to the other criminals present:
"I believe in my technology, and technology tells me he looks exactly like Superman! Except for that stupid 'U' symbol on his chest!"
"The Justice League didn't die at all; they just changed their costumes and stood in front of us!"
"This is a trap!"
Poison Ivy silently moved a few steps to the side.
As soon as she stopped, a sudden burst of heat pierced the upper body of "Monograph," sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The ruthlessness of "Superb" startled many criminals, and several people who were nearby were covered in blood.
Because Ivy had anticipated this and moved a few steps to the side, she was now completely clean, without a single drop of blood on her.
The crimson light in "Superpower's" eyes gradually faded, and his expression seemed as if he were about to unleash a massacre at the slightest provocation.
"I'll say it again, this world belongs to us now, and as long as you pledge allegiance to us, you will have a share in this world."
"Anyone who dares to question or challenge us will bear the consequences."
Above the "Criminal Syndicate," Connors couldn't help but let his lips curl into a wild smile.
"Anti-Surveillance" was lured there by him through "Poison Ivy," and "The Grid" was activated by Atom. "America,"
The three superhero teams, "Darkness," "Justice League," and "Darkness," were also orchestrated by Connors and became entangled in internal conflicts.
Even before "Superpower" led the "Criminal Syndicate" into this world, it was Connors who opened the passage, allowing them to escape the clutches of "Anti-Monitors".
But in "Super Power's" words, everything is turned upside down.
They killed the Justice League, their arrival here was premeditated, and the original world was completely wiped out by them. Even Connors, who always does abstract things, has to admit that no matter how hard he tries, he can't beat a natural abstract type like "Superpower".
"Atomic Girl" sat on Connors' shoulders, one hand covering her face. She didn't have the ability to hear the sounds below from thousands of meters away, but the "Mystery House" made her understand everything that was happening below.
Rhonda, the "Atomic Girl," had never felt so ashamed:
"If I hadn't been by your side, would I be one of those people standing below, spouting off like a monkey being watched?"
"Yes," Connors said with a laugh, "I'm a little curious how they managed to hold back their laughter."
"They probably didn't even notice what Superpower was saying, each of them having their own thoughts?" Atomic Girl whispered, covering her face.
After careful consideration, Connors realized that what "Atomic Girl" said might really be true.
"Night Owl" knew of "Nightwing's" existence beforehand. One of his purposes in coming to this world was to meet "Nightwing," as well as "Brother Bruce," whom he had promised to meet.
Now that Nightwing has been captured, Night Owl is probably trying to find his own whereabouts.
The same goes for "Super Queen". Connors demonstrated his power on Earth-3 and successfully got her pregnant with his child. This woman is probably also looking for him.
Johnny Quick, having been tricked by his own actions, has been muttering about finding Atom and killing her to vent his anger ever since he walked out of the Pandora's Box. He's probably still thinking about it now.
"Death Storm" and "Divine Power Ring" interact with each other less. The former has a skull face, and no one will notice if it secretly laughs.
The latter was a coward; the sight of the dark mass of Earth Zero criminals in front of him would probably scare him to death, so he naturally couldn't even manage a smile.
As for "Superpower" himself, he is single-mindedly focused on seizing opportunities to conquer the world, just like the leaders before Connors' time travel, who were desperately making empty promises.
Whether the cake is real or fake is another matter, but I can't laugh out loud first.
Despite looking exactly like Superman, with a heroic and masculine face, Superman seems more and more like a comedian from Connors's perspective, which is full of filters.
"What are we going to do next? Are we just going to stay in the sky like this?"
"Atomic Girl" tried to change the subject, asking Connors, "I'll take you to see a good show later." Connors pressed a hand to his lips and replied.
Atomic Girl: "I think the following scenes are already exciting enough."
She couldn't help but want to cover her face again, but after thinking about it, she simply burrowed into Connors' collar, not even showing her head.
Inside the mysterious house, the short-haired "Poison Ivy" frowned over her delicate eyebrows.
Connors simultaneously projected two shadows into the mystery house, one from Harley Quinn of the Suicide Squad and the other from Ivy of the Supervillain Secret Society, both of whom were Kusama.
Short-haired Ivy frowned as she looked at the footage provided by wavy-haired Ivy, and couldn't help but complain:
"If I hadn't been pulled in by the 'outsider,' would I still be standing there like an idiot listening to 'Superpower' brag?"
Lady Shangdu nodded in agreement:
"That's right."
Short-haired Ivy sighed softly. At this moment, she even felt a little sorry for the big-waisted Ivy who was trying hard to smile while mixed in with the "Super Villain Secret Society".
Harley with her red and black ponytail looks at the image of Harley with her red and blue ponytail, "Withered Ashes," and her expression is the complete opposite of Ivy's.
She was so envious.
Harley Quinn, the "Withered Ashes" character, carried the "OMAC" to a flat area in the Rocky Mountains all by herself.
The "0MAC," which is over three meters tall and not yet activated, is extremely bulky, but Harley, with her blue-gray skin, carries it on her shoulder with a rather relaxed expression.
"Little Pa, do you know how to activate this? It's a really big toy I've never seen before."
Harley Quinn even had the extra energy to communicate with Connors through the "Kusama".
"I don't know, why don't you ask the person on the other end of the communicator?" Connors said.
"Okay—'The Thinker,' right? Tell me the activation password!" Harley said into the communication device.
She quickly obtained the password to unlock the weapon and opened "0MAC".
With a "buzz," after she entered the password, the three-meter-tall humanoid weapon's eyes lit up with orange light.
He stood up straight.
"Wow, that's awesome!" both Harleys exclaimed simultaneously.
When they saw the light in "OMAC's" eyes grow brighter and brighter, eventually forming a ray that blasted open the weapons base in the Rocky Mountains, they all cursed in unison:
"b**!"
Seeing the weapon's immense destructive power, both Harleys were itching to use it. Harley "Wither Ash" immediately spoke up:
"Little Pa, according to the plan, should I take this huge thing—what's-his-name—to fight 'Shark King'?"
"That's how it is in theory, but you can do whatever you want, I'll cover for you," Connors replied.
This sentence made Harley, the girl with the red and black ponytail, so envious that she almost drooled. No one had ever said such a thing to her before.
Outside the Mysterious House, after leaving Harley to play around with the Suicide Squad, Connors turned his attention back down.
"Super Queen" stood before the criminals, binding "Nightwing" with a lasso of submission.
"They even captured Nightwing!"
"Are they going to kill this vigilante right in front of us?"
The criminals whispered amongst themselves, while Superpower grabbed Nightwing by the collar and ripped off his blindfold:
"Yes, Nightwing. But his real name is Richard Grayson."
The "Grid" global live stream projected Nightwing's unmasked face onto countless screens.
"We will hunt down everything Richard Grayson loves, and all those who dare to defy us—you are not only risking your own lives, but also endangering those you cherish."
"All of you here are our allies, our army, and the strongest."
"Heaven has bestowed this power upon you for a certain purpose. Join us and conquer this world together!"
"Superb" spread his arms wide and loudly bewitched the criminals looking at Earth 0.
"Evil has always been at its beginning!"
