The evening news from ABC News is playing on the TV.
Luther, wearing a weird glass-shell mecha, faced the camera and said seriously: "I dare not say that I am a hero, but my upbringing definitely prevents me from sin.
I feel sorry for what happened to President Tesla, but I am not the one who threatened him.
The person who illegally stole the presidency was not me either.
The person who bears the glorious name of 'Lex Luthor' but commits all kinds of evil deeds is not me.
Just like you once thought that I formed a secret society, slaughtered many superheroes, and harmed countless innocent American people, but it turned out that it was not me.
He looks exactly like me and even has half of my genes.
Yes, he is Alexander Kent!"
"The adopted son of the Kent family!" He emphasized it at the end.
The Clark family in front of the TV felt as if they had eaten flies.
Then, Luther on the TV patted his chest, and the hard space glass made a "bang bang" sound.
"You must feel weird seeing me like this, right?"
He complained with grief: "It was Alexander Kent who did it. He read my memory, simulated it, distorted it, controlled my brain waves, completely took over my identity, and enjoyed my wealth and even my girlfriend.
He locked me in a crystal cell and tortured me in various ways.
It is now difficult for me to even stand and I have to rely on the buoyancy of the water to support muscle activity.
He is a devil who not only took away everything from me and maimed my body, but also tarnished the reputation of 'Luthor' with extremely evil deeds."
"It's a sting~" Louise turned off the TV, looked sideways at her husband, who looked relatively calm, and said excitedly: "You just let him talk nonsense and get away with his crime?"
Luther can leave prison only if he is released after serving his sentence.
In fact he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Without amnesty, he would never be able to obtain freedom through normal channels.
Last time he was only released on bail. If he made suggestions in the Lann-Senagon War and gained a lot of benefits for the US government, President Abao only agreed to grant him an amnesty.
But after leaving prison, Luther was replaced by Luther Jr., who had great ambitions, so how could he have the heart to help Luther commute his sentence?
He only stayed at the Pentagon for a few days before leading a secret society across the United States: hijacking all superpower prisons around the world, releasing all super villains, creating global chaos, and then taking advantage of the chaos to murder (kidnap) superheroes.
Therefore, even if Luther proves that Luther is not himself, he will still miss out on the presidential pardon because of his inaction.
He has to go to jail in two days.
But things are different now.
He directly claimed that he had been replaced by Luther Jr. a long time ago. All the bad things that were exposed by the Justice League and tried by the courts were all done by Alexander, and he was completely innocent.
"You turn on the TV and listen to what he said and you'll understand." Clark rubbed his temples and sighed deeply.
"I can't stand his shameless words," Louise said angrily.
After saying this, she turned on the TV again.
"Wow!"
As soon as I turned on the phone, I heard a burst of exclamations from the host and the audience.
"Mr. Luther, you got the number right. We really want to donate 500 billion US dollars, not 5 million, but 50 million?!" the female host stammered.
"Five hundred billion?" Louise's mouth opened slightly, her face full of disbelief.
"You heard it right, 500 billion, US dollars, just a lot more." Luther proudly raised his open-fingered palm, "Alexander Kent unleashed super villains around the world, causing huge chaos in society, and a large number of innocent people were harmed.
.
Like me, they are all victims of this incident.
I am a billionaire and I can build life-sustaining armor for myself, but what about them? Who will care, pay attention and really help them?"
He pointed at himself with his thumb, "I feel for their pain.
I will immediately spend 5 billion US dollars to help the injured treat their injuries, provide bionic prosthetics for the disabled, and provide S payments to the deceased to support their parents, wives and children.
5 billion is just the beginning. By the end of this year, at least 30 billion in cash will be invested in this project.
And this ‘Alexander Kent Disaster Relief Project’ is just the beginning. From this year until the Luther family goes bankrupt, I will invest at least 20 billion US dollars into the foundation every year.
Provide assistance within our capabilities to people around the world based on the disaster situation that year.
Don't worry, I'm talking empty words.
The $500 billion Merciful Gene Association will be completely handed over to the Justice League, and the superheroes will definitely not help me lie."
"Wow~~" the audience exclaimed again.
If he really hands over the Foundation to the Justice League, it is basically certain that Luthor is serious this time.
"Just for this?" Louise turned her head and looked at Clark.
Her expression was a little loose.
It seems that a donation of US$500 billion in exchange for Luther's amnesty is not impossible.
After all, Luther insists that his mind has been controlled for a long time. Who can refute it with evidence?
He wants to get away with it anyway, and it's worth it in exchange for his silence for the 500 billion charity fund.
Clark shook his head and said, "No, just keep listening."
"Is it possible that 500 billion is just an appetizer?" Louise said in shock.
Clark said strangely: "He has been to hell, you know, right? Harley's 'death treatment' caused him to be tortured in hell, and those punishments are the retribution he deserves after his death."
"Well, he wants to accumulate virtue for himself? Is it possible that from now on, he will change his ways and be a good person? Big S man Luther?" Louise said with a twisted expression.
"No, even though he has personally experienced the retribution of the underworld, he does not want to limit his freedom. He said that the ideals he adheres to will not change, but his worldview has changed.
In the past, when he wanted to give the best gift to his family, he would only use money to measure the value of the gift.
Now he still wants to give his family the best gift, but the value of the gift is merit.
Although he is a hopeless super villain, he is pretty good to his family." Clark said with emotion.
"Oh, the 500 billion charitable donation is to build virtue for his mother and sister."
On TV, Luther continued: "In addition to the 500 billion charity fund, I will also devote all my personal energy and company's financial resources to the 'Omack Rescue Plan' in the coming days.
I don’t need to say more about the evil done by my brothers, everyone is deeply touched by it.
Millions of people were directly injured, and tens of millions lost friends and relatives. This is an unprecedented disaster for mankind on earth.
Even if the Galactic Admiral tries to save most of it, millions of people will still be lost.
Their families are waiting for them, their friends are missing them, and they are waiting for rescue."
Clark looked at the screen with a complicated expression, "This is the real reason why we allow him to lie."
"Why should he?" Louise asked doubtfully.
"With his brain! Little Luther once forcibly read his brain waves when he had the power of creation.
Now, little Luther has turned back into a mortal, but he has gained extraordinary power and become the ancestor of the Pain Man. I don't know what method he used, but his mental power is growing rapidly every day.
In the end, he was able to peer into the secrets of little Luther's mind just as little Luther suppressed him."
Louise was stunned, "He wants to use that secret to be the savior and gain the cheers and love of the people?"
Clark nodded slightly.
"Too cunning!" Louise gritted her teeth and said, "Is he planning another conspiracy?"
Clark sighed: "For one million Omics, we must take certain risks. You don't have to worry too much, he is not responsible for the rescue plan alone. I, Bateman, Cyborg, Mr. Excellence, Mr. Miracle (Son of Heavenly Father,
Darkseid’s adopted son) will all be involved.”
Louise was surprised and asked: "He agrees? Aren't you afraid that the glory of the savior will be taken away?"
“He has confidence in his brain as the ‘smartest person in the world’. He said that together, we can’t beat him in a competition of intelligence.”
The corners of Louise's mouth twitched, "This is like something he can say."
At the same time, sector 1417, the planet Koruga, the capital of the Koruga people, Koruga City.
"Harry guessed everything correctly." Kyle, who was hiding himself in his cloak, looked at the million-person parade in front of him and felt very complicated.
Koruga's technological level is actually not as good as the various cheating Earths, but Koruga's level of civilization exceeds that of Earth.
The standard for judging the advanced level of civilization includes not only scientific level, but also social system and cultural level.
The earth has not been able to form an "earth government" so far. There are conflicts between countries and races.
But the Koruga people are all red-skinned and are of the same ethnic group.
In other words, they don’t have a “nation”.
If there is only one nation, there will be no nation.
The same culture and beliefs allowed them to quickly establish a unified planetary government after contacting alien civilizations.
But at this time, Kyle saw a completely divided Koruga.
Divisions arise from class, not race and culture.
"The people of Koruga, tonight will be recorded in our history!" In the square in front of the Koruga Presidential Palace, a gray-haired old man shouted sternly: "Tonight we will embark on the road to return to the old peace and prosperity.
, just like the past under the green light.
But we don't miss the dictator Sinestro.
She is another Green Lantern energy user. She was once our comrade and led us to resist the tyranny of Sinestro.
She was the former chief surgeon of the Koruga Municipal Hospital.
She is a Koruga with great sentiments.
She is Dr. Soranik Natu!”
"Natu, Natu, Natu!" The crowd immediately burst into cheers like a tsunami.
There was a statue erected in the center of the square where they were, a woman leaping from the sky with a ring on her right hand.
Kyle recognized it at a glance, it was Solanik Natu.
The hero who once saved the people from the tyrant is now going to be crowned as the new "monarch"?!
Kyle sighed softly.
"Stab-boom!" There were heavy dark clouds in the sky, and lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time. But when he looked around the city, it was as gloomy and dark as the sky.
Such a large modern city is not as brightly lit as the capital city of the United States.
The city has no electricity.
The marchers either held torches or electric lamps in their hands, and there was not a single lit street lamp on the streets filled with rubbish.
In fact, even if there is electricity, the street lights cannot be lit. Many street lights have broken bulbs and no one is repairing them.
It's like the garbage on the ground has not been cleaned for a long time.
Kyle squeezed through the noisy crowd and left the square.
When passing by the demonstrators, he saw them holding up huge flags that were unified into one pattern. It was not the national flag and emblem of Koruga, but the green light symbol.
His mood was more complicated.
He deliberately read the history of Koruga before coming here.
During Sinestro's reign, the green light symbol was more frightening than the chess piece that appeared in the concentration camp; after Sinestro was overthrown, it was even more hated than the plaster flag that appeared in the Great Celestial Empire.
The Koruga government even enacted a law making it a crime to paint a green light sign and hold a flag with a green light sign.
Nowadays, people who are dissatisfied with the corrupt government regard the green light flag as a symbol of resistance to injustice.
