Chapter 1761 The future of the city in a bottle

In the center of Kandor City, in the city lord's office.

"Zo, have your people detected Harley Quinn's vital signs?" Allura first closed the window and door, then looked at her husband expectantly and asked.

Zor-El, with a red ribbon tied on his forehead, held a translucent "tablet" in his hand, shook his head slightly and said: "There is data, but I think it is useless and has no reference value at all."

Allura walked up to him, scanned the "Crystal Tablet" screen, and said in surprise: "Her physique is not even comparable to an ordinary Kryptonian warrior?"

Zoel said: "Theoretically, our vital signs detector can only detect the activity of body cells, and then estimate a soldier's physical value based on the cell activity.

Such as strength, movement speed, neural response

The error is generally less than one percent.

The combat effectiveness of a creature can be roughly estimated based on physical data.

But Harley Quinn is the God-King, and her extraordinary power is the core component of her personal strength.

It just so happens that our technological instruments do not respond to extraordinary powers."

"Magic is our weakness." Zor-El sighed.

Allura recalled for a moment and said: "When she was in Kandor City, Harley Quinn was always in an extremely relaxed state.

The vital signs detector should be able to detect her physical strength when her divine power is not activated.

We Kryptonians are known for our physical strength, and her physical strength is not as good as that of an ordinary Kryptonian warrior, perhaps because of her true strength."

"Even if this is the true strength of her body, what reference value does it have?" Zoel opened the Wikipedia of "Galaxy Admiral" on his tablet and said: "Even the most ordinary people on earth know that if she fights with the enemy,

It is impossible to use only pure physical force."

Allura was silent for a moment and said: "Call Kara and Carl over. They should have fought against Harley Quinn and can describe her true strength in detail."

"Asking them directly like this, obviously showing hostility towards Harley Quinn, will they feel disgusted?" Zoel looked worried and said: "You should also be able to see that Carl and Kara have no regard for human civilization.

The recognition is very high.

If they were asked to choose between Earth and Krypton, it's hard to say for Kara, but Carl might choose Earth.

When Zod led people to invade the Earth, Kalta, well, I don’t blame him, he has no memory of Krypton and has been on the Earth since he was a baby."

"I just want to know the true situation of Harley Quinn. What kind of hostility is that?" Allura said.

"Please pay attention to your words and speak tactfully."

Zoel has never been able to resist his wife's will, so he didn't insist too much this time.

In a moment, Supergirl and Superman, who received the news, flew back to Kandor City one after another.

"Mom, Dad, I am a superhero and I have to patrol my city. Is there anything I can't say tomorrow?" Super Girl complained.

When Kandor City first recovered, she was too excited about her parents' "resurrection" and stayed with them instead of returning to the city to fight criminals. In the next few days, she would always find time to fulfill her responsibilities as the city's guardian.

"I won't waste much of your time. I just want to inquire about Harley Quinn."

Alura didn't mince words and directly asked the questions in her heart.

"You actually secretly used the vital signs detector to peek at Harley's physical condition?" After hearing his aunt's question, Dachao became uneasy at first, "What's the point of doing this? If Harley found out, maybe she would have already found out.

Even if she didn't say anything, she would definitely look down on Kandor City."

"She can't possibly know that the monitor only passively receives the biological force field information of the living body and will not actively stimulate her body." Zoel said.

"Oh, don't use scientific thinking to think about the situation of extraordinary people." Dachao said helplessly.

Kara also complained: "Mom, Dad, your behavior is so embarrassing.

After Sister Harley perfectly survived the demonization of the nightmare, her perception is particularly sensitive, and she can even know other people's emotions. She knows whether you are lying, whether you are happy or angry."

"What is Nightmare Demonization? Why can she know other people's emotions? Is it mind-reading?" Zoel asked.

"It's not a mind-reading skill, but it's better than a mind-reading skill. I was in crisis some time ago."

Kara Balabala, quickly explained the Demonization of Nightmares in detail.

In order to help parents who are purely technologically minded understand the power of perfect nightmare demonization, she also specifically used the Eclipse Lord as an example and told them about the Eclipse Lord crisis that happened not long ago.

"It's incredible to be able to control the emotions of the entire universe." Zor-El murmured.

"Sister Harley will hold 'Lecture Conferences' from time to time in the future. You will understand after listening to it once." Kara said.

A look of surprise quickly flashed across Allura's face, "If she really can sense the true emotions in other people's hearts like you said, then that's okay.

I had no ill intentions towards her, so naturally she would not feel my malice."

"You're calling me and Kara over now, aren't you just trying to find out about Harley's strength?" Da Chao said.

"Yes, I want to know how powerful she is and what specific abilities she has. Only by fully understanding the power of her and the Justice League can the Kryptonians of Kandor City get along with the people of Earth in a more appropriate attitude."

Allura sighed: "Karl, Kara, have you ever seriously considered the future of Kryptonians?

Before Kandor City recovered, there were only two Kryptonians in the world——"

Supergirl interrupted her and said: "Jonathan is my nephew, and he is also a Kryptonian. Well, he is both a Kryptonian and an Earthling."

Allura looked at Chao Chao and said: "Harley Quinn has agreed to free exchanges between Kandor City and the Earth. I will go to Metropolis tomorrow and see Jonathan by the way?"

Dachao hesitated for a moment and said: "It's better for Louise and I to bring the children to Kandor City. If your identities are revealed, you will definitely become the focus of public attention.

Although ‘Superman’ is a household name, not many people know ‘Clark Kent’.”

Allura nodded, "What I want to say is that there were only a few of you in the world before. As long as you live well, everything will be fine, and you don't have to worry about the survival of the Kryptonian civilization.

But now the city of Kandor has awakened, and there are still seven million Kryptonians in the city.

We must seriously think about how these seven million people will survive and develop better in the future.

Today's reality is that the earth's environment is very suitable for the survival and development of Kryptonians, so we must first figure out where the city of Kandor should be in the solar system.

Just like if a person wants to integrate into society, he must first understand his position in society."

"What does this have to do with Harley's strength? Shouldn't the position of Kandor City in the universe be determined by its own state?" Da Chao said.

Allura asked: "Karl, where do you think Kandor City should go in the future?"

Dachao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I will try my best to help everyone, and I believe my friends will also lend a helping hand.

If necessary, I can become a bridge for mutual understanding and communication between Earth and Kandor City."

Allura said: "Now there is a fork in the road in front of Kandor City. One road separates from the earth. Kandor City leaves the earth and the solar system, either returning to the Kryptonian system or looking for a new home.

The second way is to strengthen exchanges with earth civilization and even promote the integration of the two civilizations.

If two civilizations merge, who will assume the role of leader?

Theoretically, the Kryptonian civilization is more advanced, so we should lead the people on Earth, but if the people on Earth don’t agree

If there is no integration, Earth and Kryptonians will just live together in the solar system. What roles should both parties play?

If the people on Earth cannot tolerate us, should we obey their ideas and leave the solar system, or should we use our strength to fight for our right to survive?

Harley Quinn's personal strength can determine the answer to almost all questions."

Dachao looked at his aunt with a complicated expression and said: "As for Harley's strength, the answer is actually very simple - invincible."

"Judging from the vital sign data detected by the instrument, her physical condition is not strong." Allura said.

Da Chao rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know how strong her defense is?"

"I have watched your wife's series of special programs, and I know that Harley Quinn is the thick-skinned King of Martial Arts, and her defense is particularly powerful. But I have also seen the analysis of many experts. The biggest nemesis of the defense film is physical attacks, and every

Kryptonians all have bodies of steel and can unleash the strongest physical attacks.

I also simulated it with the main brain. If ten Kryptonians continuously hammered the defensive gold film, not to mention her God's Favorite, even she herself would not be able to withstand it." Allura said confidently.

"Why did you do this kind of simulation? Do you subconsciously regard Sister Harley as your enemy?" Super Girl's face changed drastically, "Mom, I sincerely advise you, never become enemies with Sister Harley.

No matter how strong the Kryptonians are, they are never stronger than the Creator. Even the Creator is afraid of Sister Harley.

And a creator like the Anti-Monitor can easily wipe out any civilization in the main universe."

Allura waved her hands and said: "I understand, I have never regarded Harley Quinn as an enemy, it is not worth it.

Even if we pay a huge price to defeat her, what will we gain?

Solar system?

The most important resource in the solar system is the yellow sun, but yellow suns are not uncommon in the universe.

I understand Harley Quinn's true combat power, and I am just helping other Kryptonians in Kandor City find their own position."

Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly, "I am just the city lord of Kandor City, equivalent to the governor of the United States, or the president of the country.

I cannot replace the will of the country with my own will.

Below the city lord, there is also a parliament and a city defense system, which is the army.

On major issues that determine the future of Kandor City, everyone needs to reach a unified opinion, and when I make a decision, I have to convince them first."

She glanced at the faces of her daughter and nephew, not shying away from meeting their eyes directly.

Her expression was sincere and helpless, and she said: "You are the heroes of the Justice League. You all have noble qualities of not fearing power and not relying on the strong to bully the weak. I am proud of you.

But not all Kryptonians are ‘Rippo Man’ or ‘Rippo Geer’, most of them are just like ordinary people on Earth, they bully the weak and fear the strong, and it is human nature to see gains and forget the injustice, and the Kryptonians are no exception.”

Dachao's expression softened a bit. The fact that Auntie could say these words at least showed that she was not arrogant and couldn't see the form clearly.

"Harley's greatest strength is defense, but that doesn't mean Kryptonians have an advantage when facing her.

In addition to thick-skinned martial arts, she is also a powerful spiritual wizard.

Her exclusive magic spell 'Black Vortex of Thorns' is designed to restrain enemies with pure physical attacks."

He carefully described the magical effects of counter-injury and black vortex. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and found several videos of Harley using the thorns and black vortex to fight enemies, and handed them to his aunt for her to watch.

"In fact, if the Kryptonians really wanted to become her enemy, they might not even have the chance to face the Black Vortex of Thorns.

Even if she is not good at magic, the power of the God King can ensure that all kinds of elemental magic are at her fingertips.

Kryptonians have extremely low magic resistance, and when faced with god-king-level forbidden magic, they are basically no different from ordinary earthlings facing natural disasters."

Having said this, Dachao suddenly remembered Harley's previous suggestion and asked: "Allura, have you paid attention to the hot news on Earth recently? It's the news about Lex Luthor liberating the slave camps on Apokolips."

Allura said with a complex expression: "The Krypton Academy of Sciences studied the Phantom Realm for many years, and finally discovered a higher dimension than matter - Limbo. However, until the destruction of Krypton, we had never seen the Divine Realm.

Our Phantom Realm engine can't even get in and out of Limbo properly.

Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, the divine domain and divine civilization have become common knowledge in the galaxy."

"Are the scientists in Kandor City still curious about God's Realm? I can introduce them to Apokolips to directly experience the environment and rules of God's Realm." Superman said.

Allura asked strangely: "Why do you say this suddenly? Kandor City has been unblocked for several days, and news about Apokolips has been broadcast. You have never suggested that we go to Apokolips before."

"Harley was missing before. I didn't even recommend that the Kryptonians in Kandor City leave the confines of the Fortress of Solitude. Now that you can move freely, I certainly hope that you can fully integrate into the current world." Da Chao said with a smile.

Allura nodded, "When we formally establish diplomatic relations with the Earth government, I will go to Apokolips to have a look in person."

The next day, Superman and Supergirl took the initiative to expose the news that Kandor City had "awakened" in front of the media.

In the afternoon of the same day, they also invited many famous galactic celebrities to the Arctic city of Kandor.

In the evening, the life scenes of millions of Kryptonians in Kandor City appeared on the live news broadcasts on Earth and alien planets.

"My guess is, seven million Kryptonians are equal to seven million Tearman, or seven million Tearge'er?"

"There are only seven million Kryptonians. Is it worth making such a fuss? There are still 20 million New Gods on our planet! No matter how powerful the Kryptonians are, they are just ordinary advanced civilizations in the material universe. The New Gods are the top God civilization."

"Is the New Protoss worth being proud of? Only in the Darkseid War, the Galaxy Admiral and Zheng Lian joined forces and slaughtered more than 10 million real dark protoss. Each of them had godhead and divine power.

It is precisely because they were killed that their godheads found the people on earth.

Thousands of people on earth who have obtained godhood will benefit from this."

When they first saw the news about Kandor City, the people on Earth were extremely shocked. There were too many Kryptonians.

But then, when they thought of what had happened on the earth recently, their shocked hearts became numb again.

"Seven million Kryptonians are actually nothing. When Brainiac was arrested, news about the city in a bottle - Kandor City was already reported on TV.

Now it’s just that the ‘Maleficent Curse’ of the city in the bottle has finally been unlocked.”

"It just feels like Superman's status has suddenly dropped a lot. He is no longer unique. Countless Kryptonians are about to steal his limelight."

"If you think about it from another perspective, Super Girl has always been at the top of the 'Dream Girl Ranking' in the hearts of men on earth. Even many male superheroes and super villains have said that Super Girl is their ideal type.

Ordinary people like us, no matter how passionately we like her, it is impossible to be her boyfriend, let alone a kiss, we don't even have the chance to be a licking dog. Now that there are millions of Kryptonian girls, find a 'super'

Being a girlfriend is no longer a dream for girls!”

"That's what I say, but millions of 'super girls' suddenly feel that she is not much different from earth girls."

"Supergirl is originally blond and looks exactly like the Earth girl. The reason why you think she is special is entirely due to her special status as 'the only Kryptonian woman' and her super strength as 'the strongest mortal girl'.

The halo effect.”

"No, even excluding her identity and strength, Super Girl has a cuteness and beauty far beyond ordinary people. I love Super Girl and I will always support her. Long live Super Girl!"

"I love Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman is the most beautiful!"

"Although Admiral Galaxy has PVP immunity, I still want to say that she is the essence of human women on earth!"

The discussion among netizens can be distorted to this extent, which shows that the city of Kandor, with a population of seven million, has not brought much psychological pressure to them.

However, after the exposure in Kandor City, the government immediately sent representatives to find Harley.

The next day, Harley convened superheroes, celebrities, and government representatives to hold a "hero meeting" at the newly built Sky Eye headquarters.

"Kandor City can wake up, thanks to Bateman's help."

Harley's words attracted everyone's attention to Bateman, "Baitman, please explain to everyone the journey of rescuing Kandor City."

After leaving Kandor City, she had actually chatted with him in private.

Bruce's thoughts are very simple, just to save people.

"In Superman's Fortress of Solitude, there are more than 20,000 bottle cities. Like Kandor, they are the richest and most dynamic cities in their respective civilizations.

In those bottle cities, there are hundreds of thousands of people, millions or tens of millions of people. Their home planet has been destroyed by Brainiac. The bottle cities that have fallen asleep one by one are their respective

The orphan of civilization.

Previously, more than 20,000 bottled cities had fallen asleep due to the 'narcotic gas' released by Brainiac.

In a deep sleep state, their physiological activities will be reduced to the limit, just like astronauts sleeping in a hibernation capsule.

But this state cannot last forever, there are still traces of the passage of time on them.

One year, two years, ten years, they still won't die.

But if it takes twenty, thirty, or one hundred years, all the cities in the bottle will die, completely die.

In fact, even a person as strong as a Kryptonian still suffers from muscle atrophy, organ damage and other symptoms after sleeping for more than ten years.

The situation of other alien races will only be worse."

Bateman put his hands on the table, intertwined his ten fingers, glanced around with clear eyes, and said solemnly: "I am not just saving Candor City, my goal is all the cities in the bottle, hundreds of billions of living creatures."

Life is the last hope for more than 20,000 civilizations."

"Bah bang bang!"

Dachao clapped excitedly, and after the other heroes looked at each other, they also began to applaud Bateman.

When the applause stopped, Harley said: "Baitman is right. Since we rescued the bottled city from Brainiac's spacecraft, we should be responsible for them, at least to save them from the 'narcotic gas'

wake.

What we are going to discuss today is not whether we should revive them or not.

With hundreds of billions of lives at stake, saving lives is unquestionable.

The problem now is how to install 20,000 bottle cities."

Dinah said: "Our earth alone is definitely not capable of solving the problems of food, clothing and development for hundreds of billions of people. We need the help of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Harley, can we raise funds from all over the universe in your name just like we did when we rebuilt the cities on the east coast of the United States?

Everyone who has money can contribute, and those who have extra resource planets can donate planets to strive to find a new home for each bottle city."

Before Harley could respond, the second-in-command, Cameron Lincoln, said, "Lex Luthor, the Lord of Apokolips, has heard about the city in the bottle.

In the original prison break of Brainiac, although he was innocent and a victim, he was willing to compensate the civilized remnants of the city in the bottle."

After Brainiac was captured, Harley and Zheng Lian were busy with Crisis on Infinite Earths, while Luther volunteered to become the person in charge of the Brainiac spacecraft research project.

As a result, he was secretly controlled by Brainiac's psychic power, and escaped with Brainiac and the spaceship to the "Netherworld" - a parallel universe that survived the tide of antimatter energy.

If Brainiac had not escaped from prison, when the Crisis on Infinite Earths was over, Harley and Zheng Lian would always have the means to allow Brainiac to "unfreeze" the city in the bottle.

Harley frowned and said, "Are you a representative of Luther or a representative of the government?"

Lincoln sneered: "Luther is now an important partner of the U.S. government."

"What kind of compensation does Luther plan to give? Will he carve out land on Apokolips and let the civilization of the city in the bottle ascend collectively?" Diana sarcastically said.

Lincoln's eyes flickered, "If Kandor City is willing to join the 'Free Mecha Legion', Luther will really provide every Kryptonian warrior with the opportunity to ascend to the New Gods."

"Let Luther give up. The Kryptonians in Kandor City will never serve as cannon fodder for him!" Dachao said angrily.

"How can he be cannon fodder? Luther always takes the lead and fights on the front line. Every legionnaire is his robe and a like-minded comrade with him.

And the purpose of the Free Mecha Legion is to liberate Apokolips.

Isn't it an act of justice to help oppressed slaves gain freedom?" Lincoln asked seriously.

"Dong dong dong!" Harley tapped the knuckles of her right hand lightly on the table and said calmly: "Today's hero meeting is about the future of Kandor City and many bottled cities, not about pimping Luther!"

Lincoln's face turned red, embarrassed and embarrassed.

Harley looked at Dinah and said, "The suggestion you just made is good. The Justice League can discuss with the alien ambassadors of 'Star Street' on my behalf.

Let them have the money and strength to contribute their own strength to the resettlement of the orphans of civilization in the city in the bottle."

"Harry, I have something to say!" Tesla, the former commander-in-chief, raised his hand.

The main participants of the Heroes' Meeting are naturally heroes - superheroes from major hero organizations. However, famous social figures can also submit applications and sit in as witnesses instead of becoming the chairman.

Abao Tesla has left office and cannot represent the U.S. government, but as a "celebrity" in the United States, he is more than enough.

"What do you want to say?" Harley asked.

Tesla stood up and left the auditorium in a very familiar manner, stood next to Harley, faced everyone, and talked.

“The civilizations that can be selected by Brainiac all have their own unique features.

Didn't Brainiac collect the cities in the bottle just to master the knowledge of the entire universe?

It can be seen that each city in the bottle is a representative of some kind of cosmic wisdom.

Why can’t we absorb the essence of civilization in the bottle and make human civilization greater?”

He waved his hands and said excitedly, "We can build a 'grand alliance of 20,000 civilizations' with the earth as the core.

We have freed the city in a bottle, and we can continue to provide them with security.

They settled down on Earth without leaving the solar system and built 20,000 space cities in outer space near the Earth. From then on, 20,000 races became one family with our Earth civilization."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lincoln shouted loudly: "Tesla, you are crazy. How much money and resources will it cost to build 20,000 space cities? Have you really thought about it?

Moreover, there are more than 20,000 different civilizations, races, and cultures. How much trouble will it cause if we live in the same star system?

It’s simply fantastic.”

"Am I crazy? I think you are too stupid. Compared with the scientific and technological knowledge that each civilization can provide us, the cost of building a space city is almost zero."

Tesla sarcastically said: “And the ‘20,000 civilized alliance’ I mentioned is only the extreme case.

Although we saved those cities in the bottle, I never thought of repaying the favor.

We just extend an invitation and give them the power of free choice. They can choose whether to join the "Super Alliance" family based on their own circumstances.

There may be more than 20,000 bottle cities, but in the end only a few hundred civilizations choose to stay in the solar system.

Since they choose to stay, they must be very similar to earth civilization, at least they will not cause trouble."

Lincoln sneered and said: "You have stated frankly that you want to absorb the essence of other people's civilizations to develop the earth. If others are not stupid, how can they take the initiative to stay in the solar system and be assimilated by you?

And if this news spreads to the Milky Way, how will other civilizations evaluate our behavior of exterminating families?

Taking advantage of the situation and devouring it? The face of all the people on earth has been humiliated by you."

"What does the face of an Earthling have to do with you? You, the new god of darkness, are not even a 'human', yet you still have the nerve to say 'the face of an Earthling' here." Abao Tesla scolded.

"Harry, Po is making remarks that are not conducive to the unity of the earth's races again. I suggest that he be expelled from the venue immediately." Lincoln, the second boss, ignored Po and looked at Harley seriously.

The military representative also said: "A Bao has shown racist tendencies many times and is completely unqualified to attend the Heroes' Meeting. I don't think he should be invited to any meetings in the future."

Abao said angrily: "Am I not qualified? At least I am a pure human being, I -"

"That's enough!" Diana shouted and said impatiently: "This is not the Congress, nor is it a street rally. If you want to quarrel, you go out and quarrel."

Abao and several government representatives glared at each other and stopped talking.

Harry rubbed his temples and said: "At least one thing has been reached. We have reached a consensus - to treat the orphans of civilization in the bottle city well and provide as much help as we can for their survival and development.

Since we want to help them, we must at least find out what they need first.

First, wake up all the 20,000 bottle cities from their slumber, and invite city representatives to the metropolis to discuss their respective futures.

Then, according to their requirements, ask for help from alien civilizations, so that the wishes of each civilization in the bottle can be fulfilled.

What do you think?"
