Lex Group headquarters, in a security fortress 30 meters underground.
Luther was wearing a white coat and buried his head in front of the experimental table. While operating a robotic arm with a serious expression, he said: "Computer, don't call me 'Luther', our relationship is far from close.
As before, you'd better call me 'Mr. Luther'."
On the desk a few steps away from the experimental bench, on the screen of a mobile phone placed on a stand, a portrait of a man with glasses appeared, a supervillain's intelligence expert - a calculator.
"We have always called you Luther." Calculator said.
"That's the problem, I'm annoyed by the familiarity you bastards show with me."
"You don't think you should be familiar with us. Do you want to get close to superheroes?" the calculator asked.
"No, compared to hypocritical superheroes, you make me feel more familiar, but the familiarity you show is not to me, but to that bastard." Luther gritted his teeth.
The mathematicians suddenly realized that he was talking about Little Luther, and they all transferred their "respect and love" for Little Luther to the current Big Luther.
But the elder Luther would rather not have "love and respect" than endure the slightest suspicion of being regarded as a substitute for the younger Luther.
He hesitated and said: "Actually, the experience in the secret society can be regarded as the most glorious moment of 'Luthor''s life——"
"What did you say?" Luther suddenly turned back, glaring and gnashing his teeth.
"Uh, sorry, I mean, that bastard is just your shadow, you don't need to pay too much attention to him." The calculator said with a fake smile.
Luther was thinking about the experimental data and didn't want to talk to this bastard anymore.
"My mobile phone number has been changed and it's in a trial area. You shouldn't be able to find me."
"Hey, although you still call me 'calculator', many people have started to call me 'magic operator'." The calculator said proudly: "Because I can find everyone's numbers and break through the firewalls of all smart devices.
Yours is no exception."
"What do you want from me?" Luther asked impatiently.
Just as the mathematician was about to make a request directly, he suddenly remembered Luther's words just now: Don't bring the deep "friendship" they established with little Luther to him.
"Why don't you go to Paradise Mountain?"
The calculator decided to talk about family matters first and slowly lead the topic to the aspect he wanted.
"There are a lot of undead ghosts of burping superheroes there. Do I want to get a blank stare?"
"For you, Noah's Ark is also a good place." The calculator added.
"I am Lex Luthor, and I have the ability to forge my own 'ark'." Luthor said proudly.
"Did you know? Not only superheroes and ordinary people can be resurrected, but we super villains have also resurrected a large number of people. I saw with my own eyes that Dr. Polaris took out the heart of the second-generation Dr. Polaris."
Speaking of this, the mathematician said with some resentment in his tone, "The second generation Doctor Polaris just received a task from me and is helping me monitor the Blue Beetle.
Why didn't Maxwell Lord kill the stink beetle?
Fake, he was originally a top computer expert, and now he has received help from the mysterious Blue Beetle. He almost locked my position several times."
"When did Dr. Polaris become the second generation?"
Luther is not interested in Blue Beetle, but he has collaborated with Dr. Polaris in an experiment that required a super strong magnetic field.
Rewarded with 300,000 US dollars plus an energy gun.
Dr. Polaris has done a good job. He is very satisfied and has even included his name in the whitelist of people with utilization value. Why is he suddenly the second generation?
"The original Dr. Polaris died. When you were away, the current one was John Nicol. Probably we have always called him 'Dr. Polaris', so you didn't realize that this position has been replaced." Calculator said.
"Are there still three generations? I'm going to do a particle collision experiment next month, and I need a 'Dr. Polaris.'" Luther frowned.
"Next month? Looking at the situation outside, with an army of tens of billions of zombies and hundreds of black light planets, the earth may not have next month." The calculator sighed.
After sighing, he said confidently: "As long as the money is available, I can help you with whoever you want."
"I need the ability to control the planet's magnetic field like the first generation Dr. Polaris. Ordinary magnetic powers are useless to me." Luther said.
"Don't worry, our country in the United States has no shortage of anything, especially people with superpowers. The third generation of Doctor Polaris will return within a month after the end of the Blackest Night." The calculator confirmed.
Luther wondered: "If he has the ability of the original Polaris, why doesn't he have any reputation now?"
"Well, these days there are so many superheroes and super villains, and the competition is so fierce.
It's very difficult to get ahead, even harder than being a young kid in Hollywood.
For example, John Nicol is very talented, but his experience and strength are not as good as the first generation.
When the original Emerson was still around, people with the same type of superpowers were not allowed to rise, and they killed every one they saw. At that time, John Nicol didn't dare to show up at all, and naturally he had no reputation.
After all, our super villain circle is also a big fame and fortune fair. If it's not for fame or profit, who would want to be a super villain?
Even if ordinary criminals are imprisoned, they can at least enjoy a comfortable prison life, but super villains are at risk of being forced to play games with Witch Harley." The computerist lamented.
"Huh, I'm not as vulgar as you. I've never been interested in fame and fortune." Luther's face was filled with a sense of superiority.
"Of course, you are our boss, and your style and magnanimity are of the highest order."
The mathematician gave a flattering compliment, and seeing that Luther did not object to the title "boss", he continued: "Boss, we are in some trouble now, and you are the only one who can help us."
"What trouble?"
"We need a new shelter." The calculator said bitterly: "There is no place for us villains on Noah's Ark, and we don't dare to go to Harley Quinn, let alone be carried aboard the Ark by The Flash.
But Black Light will not let us go just because we are villains.
Those who are killed by us will come back to seek revenge from us.
Our former companions, knowing the location of our current shelter, are even more in danger.
That's why we wanted to come to your place to take shelter.
You have the arrogance not to go to Paradise Mountain and be looked down upon, and the determination not to go to Noah's Ark and be embarrassed, just because you are confident that you can protect yourself.
We also believe in your wisdom."
Luther sneered and said: "Calculator, let me be honest with you, what you are trying to get from me is only the corner of my own greatness, but I don't want to meet any of your needs.
Because I don’t want to create an illusion and make you think that ‘we are in the same group’.”
The calculator was silent for a while and said: "Aren't we in the same group? Aren't you a super villain?"
"Hmph, you don't even understand the principle of 'every man for himself, adding insult to injury', yet you still have the nerve to call yourself a super villain." Luther sneered.
At another time, he wouldn't mind giving them some favors.
Even if it's just for them to call him "Boss".
Luther found a pattern from the existing information: the people who were resurrected all had emotional entanglements with the living, otherwise they would still be lying in the grave even if they died.
If he accepts those super villains, it is equivalent to accepting living corpses with whom he has an emotional connection.
Once they come to him, the living corpses chasing them will definitely come.
"Peng Pengpeng~~~"
While I was thinking wildly, there was a fierce collision outside the door of the underground laboratory.
Luther's expression changed.
"Didi di di~~~" The next moment, the alarm sounded in the laboratory, "Channels No. 4, 5, and 6 have been breached, and a large group of living corpses are about to arrive at the entrance of the laboratory."
The resurrected people all have an emotional entanglement with the living people. This emotion can be love or hate. The living corpses surrounding the Lex Tower are all "avengers" who hate Luther.
"Damn, why so fast? No, why did they suddenly break through the outer defense?"
A few drops of sweat appeared on Luther's bald head. His hands were typing quickly on the keyboard, and lines of code flashed on the screen.
After a while, he let out a howl like a wolf's howl, "Damn it, you mother, you mathematician, how dare you cheat on me!"
After cursing, he quickly ordered: "Activate the sixth level of security."
"Entered secondary laboratory mode." The host said mechanically.
Luther breathed a sigh of relief. Under level six security mode, the entire laboratory was covered with an energy shield, whose strength was not weaker than Brenia's "World Barrier".
Half an hour later, the "Didi Didi" alarm sounded again, "The energy is less than 10%, and the level 6 defense is about to be broken."
"Fuck!" Luther cursed, took off his white coat, and jumped into the "Luthor Mecha" that was already loaded with weapons.
"boom!
"A few minutes later, the laboratory door was knocked open, and zombies wearing black light rings swarmed in.
"Son, you are finally going to get your comeuppance, hahahaha!"
The first person to bear the brunt was the old Luther, who had been deceased for many years.
"BOOOM!" Luther said with a dull face, and fired an energy cannon, blasting his father's head.
Then, the mecha took him into the sky, went straight into the open window in the ceiling, and left the laboratory.
But living corpses can also fly and chase him to death.
Luther hesitated for a moment, but still did not run towards the superhero.
He couldn't afford to lose that face.
If his life is really in danger, he can endure it even if he is saved by Superman. But even if he is being chased by living zombies, he still has a way out: the Limbo satellite.
If he can't anymore, he can escape to Limbo. There is a small shelter inside the satellite.
"Luthor?" A black light flashed, and Superboy Connor wearing a black leather jacket flew over, "Why are you out?"
"Protecting the earth is everyone's responsibility." Luther said solemnly while killing the living corpses.
Connor believed his lies, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "You know what? Superman and Supergirl are both dead.
I was supposed to deal with the Black Death Emperor, but Super Girl took my place, and I couldn't even defeat Zod, thanks to the help of Ion Shark and Blue Lantern."
"Superman will not die easily." Luther pursed his lips and said gloomily.
Superboy was in a depressed mood and hoped to get comfort from his "father", but Luthor didn't care about his mood at all, he only cared about Superman's life and death.
"I hope so." Connor sighed and invited: "Only the Color Lantern Corps can completely kill the Black Lantern zombies. If you want to protect the earth, why not work with us to deal with the meteorites falling from outer space."
Luther thought for a while and agreed.
Now he is not seeking help from superheroes, but as a leader, leading superheroes to resist the invasion. At least he and Superman's cheap son Connor will definitely accept his leadership.
While cleaning the meteorite, an orange light ring flew over and was put on his finger without any explanation.
"Intelligent life has been locked, Lex Luthor from Earth, you are insatiable, you belong to the Orange Lantern Corps."
At this time, Beach City.
“Don’t the light rings even have ‘eyes’?”
After seeing "Diana with Love", Halle complained again.
She complained for the first time when she met "The Flash of Hope".
Pity Oliver, she complained for the second time.
The Scarecrow of Fear is in line with her perception.
What followed was Mela in anger and Diana in love, making her even more inexplicable and strange.
"What's wrong with Purple Lantern choosing me? I also have love." Diana was very dissatisfied with her sudden performance.
Harley said: "Everyone has love, but just because you have love does not mean you should be chosen by the Purple Lantern Ring. After all, the Purple Lantern Corps is essentially the 'Legion of Resentful Women'. Not only must you have love in your heart, but you must also have deep love but no
Vent everywhere.
Are you a resentful woman because you cannot love her?"
Carol, the head of the Purple Lantern, said angrily: "Harry, what do you mean?"
"Harry, you don't understand Purple Lantern at all. The love of Purple Lantern is not love that cannot be obtained, but full love, and the love for the lover goes beyond oneself." Diana said sternly.
Harry shrugged and turned to Mera, who had long blood-red hair, blood-red armor, and blood from the corner of her mouth, "You are not at home to take care of the children, so why are you here to get involved?"
Mela just gave birth to her second child not long ago.
"I was originally in the sea and didn't want to go ashore, but Lantern Ring found it on its own." Mei La said.
"Are you angry? There must be a reason for picking you at the red light." Harley asked.
Mela thought for a while and said: "I saw Superman beating my husband repeatedly at the beach, beating him like a stake. He screamed and made me feel very angry and furious, and then the light ring flew over.
"
Harley was speechless.
"Whoosh~~~" An orange figure roared across the sky and landed in front of several people.
It's Luther, who is wrapped in an orange mecha.
"Hey Luther, it turns out you stole my orange light ring." Harley gritted her teeth.
"Lex Luthor, give me back the lamp ring!" Lafleeze was even more excited than she was and pounced on him.
Luther's expression was dull, with an orange flame burning in his eyes, "Mine, it's mine, it's all mine."
Saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, the orange light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his eyes became more and more frantic. Finally, he howled and rushed towards Lafleeze, "The orange light power is mine and mine alone."
"Give me back the ring." Lafleeze was not to be outdone.
The two of them quickly struggled with each other, completely forgetting the grand plan of the Seven Lanterns and the crisis of the Black Death Emperor.
"Luthor is completely controlled by the greed of orange light?" Harley was startled and asked in confusion: "With Luther's will and mental strength, he can't even suppress it with an orange light ring, right?"
"That's not an ordinary lamp ring." Ganser frowned and said, "The lamp ring that was split from the lamp owner shares the same emotional energy with the lamp owner.
And Lafleeze is even more special, he is not only an orange lantern user, but also the host of the orange lantern beast."
After a pause, he explained to everyone: "The orange lantern beast is called "Yumang", and it can be regarded as a free parallax monster.
The Parallax monster exerts fear on the entire civilized planet to extract the source of fear.
Yumang also uses its power to coerce the entire civilized planet, asking the planet's residents to offer it all treasures, mainly gold, silver and jewelry. It does not like blood sacrifices, and even if humans sacrifice babies to it and let it devour it, it will not eat it.
Every time a planet is drained of its wealth, it will go to the next planet, and then it encounters Lafleeze, a man who is more greedy than it is. Not only does it fail to devour the treasure, but it is devoured as a source of energy.
Luther, who got the same lamp ring as Lafleeze, now looks like Parallax Demon.
Even Kyle Rayner is affected by the Parallax monster, and it is normal for Luther to be controlled by greed."
"Idiots, hurry up and combine the seven lights into one!" Harley flew to the side of the two grappling people, punched Luther with a left hook, and kicked Lafleeze in the heart.
The two men regained a little consciousness in their eyes.
Then, she took a few steps forward and smashed the black light shield with a headbutt.
"Seven lights unite into one, the white light is brilliant!"
Hal Jordan immediately shot out a beam of green light, targeting the socket of the black lamp stove.
The effect of the "Buzzing, Buzzing" double seven-light combination is indeed very powerful. The bright white light is more than ten times more powerful than before. The three-meter-high black light furnace is like a pressure cooker under the feet of a strong man.
The pressure cooker is very strong, and it staggered around and made a clanging sound when the big man kicked it.
The Black Death Emperor only glanced sideways, without doing anything to stop him, and his smile became even more sarcastic.
"Why is this happening? What material is the black lamp furnace made of, and why is it so strong?" The lamp owners were shocked.
If it were replaced by their own central energy battery, it would have been broken into pieces by now.
The black light withstood the white light attack, but it didn't even crack or even collapse.
Too strong.
Ganser also looked dull, "It shouldn't be, we have done exactly what was predicted, and"
"Idiots, you know nothing about the truth of the Blackest Night!"
The Black Death Emperor laughed and drew 15 arcs of light in the air with the sickle in his hand.
"Chichichichi" 15 of the 16 Green Lantern Guardians suspended in mid-air were slashed with blood by sickles.
Pulled by the power of death, they were like 15 ink-stained brushes, using their own blood as ink to draw a huge magic circle around the Black Death Emperor - a black light symbol.
The whole process was very fast. Harley wanted to stop it, but was forced back by the Black Death Emperor's scythe.
The seven lamps in one were transferred from the lamp furnace to her body, and were also blocked by a black light energy shield.
"come over!"
The Black Death Emperor reached out and picked up the last guardian in his hand, slit his throat and disemboweled him.
"Black Hand." She shouted again.
"Your Majesty!" The black hand fell in front of her and knelt on one knee.
"He is the sacrifice."
The Black Death Emperor handed the little blue man in his hand to him, and continued to block the harassment of Harley and the Seven Lanterns.
The black hands tore open the belly of the little blue man and tore out all the contents in his abdominal cavity.
It's very strange. The heart of the 16th Guardian is orange, emitting bright orange light, the liver is yellow, emitting yellow light, the heart is green, and the stomach is blood red. The seven organs emit seven colors of light, each color of light.
It contains majestic emotional energy, even surpassing the lamp owner tens of thousands of times.
It's as if those are not seven internal organs, but seven emotional energy pools.
Harley's hole shrank, "Isn't this the emotional energy collected by the Black Lantern zombie? Is it all stored in the internal organs of the little blue man?"
Blackhand laughed loudly and placed the dazzling organ in the center of the "black light array".
Sacrificial array, activate!
"BOOOOM!" The earth exploded, endless white light burst out from the ground, and the whole world was completely white.
The breath of white light is very similar to the white light of the seven lamps in one, but it is vaster and more sacred.
"Ahhhh~~~~" The Seven-Deng Lamp Master was bathed in white light, holding his head and letting out a shrill scream.
"Ahhhh~~~~" All the living people were howling in the white light.
"Ah-what the hell is this?"
Harley couldn't help but want to scream. She did scream twice, and then the internal defense skill was activated and she stopped screaming.
But she didn't scream. In her belly, the billions of people on earth in "Noah's Ark" seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, holding their heads and howling.
"Spirit of existence, you are finally out." The Black Death Emperor laughed wildly, waved his sickle, and rushed towards the center of the white light, "Die, all life will come to an end at this moment!"
