Chapter 520: Bateman, the leader of the martial arts alliance
Harley didn't kill many people, only five or six little blue men and about two hundred green lights.
It seems like a lot, but compared to the total number, it is nothing.
There are three reasons: First, the fat-headed shark kept gnawing in her stomach, urging her to be a good person and not to hurt good people.
Secondly, Harley couldn't take them down for a while, and Gunther and the others came back again, bringing back a Green Lantern named Mogo.
Then Mogo should be called Bug. It is obviously a living planet with a volume larger than the earth, but it actually gave birth to consciousness and became a Green Lantern.
Mogo was too big. He only had an ordinary energy ray attack, but it produced the effect of the Death Star in Star Wars. The powerful physical impact pushed Harley through the void of the universe for more than 100,000 kilometers.
If it hadn't been for the ninth level of Green Lantern's defense expertise, which made her immune to non-physical advanced energy attacks from energy rays, it was doubtful whether she would have survived.
In the end, the people on earth couldn't hold on any longer. Richie sent an urgent message, Dachao disappeared unexpectedly, and the Zhenglian Express Group was destroyed.
Apokolips prepared for the invasion for several days, but it was terminated on the day of the invasion. After more than a week, Harley stayed in Washington, participating in various meetings related to reconstruction, preventing the next invasion and other issues, as well as citizens who died in the battle.
, the burial ceremony of the military police.
Oh, in this war, even seventy or eighty heroes died. After Harley received the invitation, she had to go back and forth to attend their funerals, deliver condolence speeches, and most importantly, issue hero certifications to them, thereby integrating them with the war.
The dead are distinguished from ordinary people.
This certification is very troublesome.
Because more than half of the dead heroes are below level, there is no special section in the hero forum of Puppy Video.
Many heroes haven't even debuted yet, or are just planning to debut, or have debuted not long ago, and even people in the neighborhood are not sure whether they exist.
But without exception, most of them are superpowers. They also wear heroic uniforms that hide their identities and highlight their personalities and ideas. They also killed everyone in the war against the invasion of Apokolips and played a great role in the great war to protect the earth.
If they don't wear hero uniforms, the local police officers will treat them as civilians with guns. But once they put on the uniforms, it at least means they want to be heroes.
"Hero Harley" has the responsibility to fulfill their last wishes.
Well, if she doesn't do it, the Justice League will also buy people's hearts.
Zhenglian also bought a cemetery and named it "Valhalla" to bury the heroes who died in the war.
During this period, Zheng Lian was busier than her.
She only participated in the final war against Darkseid, and the battle process was also captured on video by the aliens, which made everyone on earth watch it with great enjoyment.
After the White House press conference that night, she gave almost no interviews to the media.
Zhenglian is different.
First of all, the Justice League is a very eye-catching hero team. There are handsome men and beautiful women, earth heroes, alien policemen, sea, land and air heroes. There are heroes with different personalities and styles.
There are so many things worth paying attention to, even the name of the team is so exciting, and people like to read their news.
Secondly, when Harley was suppressed by the Green Light, it was the Justice League that presided over the defense plan against the invaders from Apokolips from beginning to end.
On the major event of Apokolips' invasion, they had more news.
In the end, the Justice League became an instant hit, and many heroes aspired to be a part of it.
Harley returned to Gotham a week later, when Bateman was still hosting visiting heroes at the Justice League Hall in Metropolis.
"It seems that you are not as popular as a hero this time as in the last Krypton war." Mao Mao looked at the lively scene of heroes gathering in the Zhenglian Hall on TV, then turned to look at the deserted and quiet Quinn Manor, and said doubtfully: "Back then,
After the war on Krypton, Jessica often led heroes to Gotham to visit you.
Now that you have been home for several days, Gotham's political leaders have come over one after another to give gifts and blessings, and there is not even a single hero."
"Maybe I am too majestic and make them feel unattainable, so they stay away." Harley said casually.
"No." Ivy turned sideways, looked at Harley and said seriously: "You are no longer a superhero in the eyes of superheroes."
"I'm not a hero, what am I?" Haliqi asked.
"They think you are a Machiavellian, a tyrant rather than a hero." Ivy shook her head and sighed: "On that day at the Heroes Conference, your true identity was exposed by Bateman, and then you were arrested by the Green Lantern Corps, but your reputation fell.
Begin, not end”
"Wait a minute." Harley raised her hand to interrupt her and frowned: "Has my reputation declined? The last few times I have appeared in public, the people have all cheered and applauded me."
“You have puppy videos, you have puppy headlines today, and even Planet Daily sends you a few tweets from time to time, so public opinion is on your side.
The key is that the American officials, represented by Mr. President, have been speaking for you, erecting you as a moral model and a benchmark of heroes to fight against the Justice League, which is so powerful that they are afraid of it and is completely beyond their control.
You did save the earth from the Kryptonians, and with your impassioned words, you cleverly turned your personal trial by the Green Lantern Corps into alien oppression of the earth, and your arrest into your sacrifice for the people of the earth.
self
In short, you have a high reputation among ordinary people.
But heroes are more
Ivy looked troubled, "During the days when you were in Oua, discussions about you among the heroes never stopped.
Regarding your questions, Bateman will answer almost all of them.
That guy knows you too well.
You used black magic to kick people into hell in Gotham. You cleaned up both black and white and finally took control of Gotham. You deceived and deceived people in the wizarding world. I never thought you did anything wrong, but your murderous and vicious methods were very unfair.
In line with the hypocritical values of the hero.”
"Where were they discussing? It sounded like a chat group." Harry raised an eyebrow.
"It's a chat group. After you were taken away by the Green Lantern Corps, the Heroes Conference was not over. Bateman asked Superman to sit in your seat. He threw away the little Mazza, sat in Superman's seat, and continued the meeting.
Completely follow the process you set originally. After talking about the crisis, start the hero's speech and explain their respective hero concepts.
Bateman and Superman were huge successes, and they received the most applause."
As Ivy said this, she twitched her fingers. The morning glory vines in the corner grew rapidly, rolled up a tablet in the next room, and handed it to the sofa in the living room.
She opened the tablet and showed the video to Harley.
Every time Superman speaks in public, it's like he's beautifying his face, and his face is radiating holy light. His sincerity wins everyone's recognition, and Harley is no exception.
Didn't expect Bateman
The guy started with the reasons why he put on the cape and became a hero, talked about his father's influence on him, talked about how Gotham dissatisfied him, talked about how he loved this city, and what he wanted his hometown to be like.
"He must have prepared the speech in advance." Harley affirmed.
"But he didn't lie either, he was very honest." Selina said.
Harley glanced at her bulging belly and said, "Has Ivy also joined the group of heroes?"
"After the Heroes Conference, Bateman gave each hero a Bat-Watch, which was connected to an independent communication satellite and would not be monitored by anyone.
He also suggested that everyone, unless faced with a global crisis, try to use the Tianshan mobile phone as little as possible on a daily basis, especially the guard dog you gave to the hero for free.
In the Bat Watch, there is a complete set of software for chatting and posting simple messages.”
"Are those heroes crazy? They even dare to ask for Bateman's watch?" Harley asked strangely.
"They are not crazy. When Bateman distributed the watches, he disclosed the program source code, watch structure, satellite and processor information to the heroes.
He admitted that he was not sure whether the watch would be hacked or monitored, so he asked everyone to help supervise it.
Moreover, he made it clear that the watch is not a secret communicator, it just facilitates heroes to communicate privately in a non-real-name manner.
I have been following him for several months, and most of the content is related to the hero's daily tasks, such as the experience of patrolling the streets at night, fighting skills, the development of technological weapons, and information about a certain enemy."
After a pause, Ivy frowned and said, "I suspect that in addition to lowering your prestige among heroes, Bateman also wants to establish his own prestige through the watch.
Compared to him, other heroes are too amateurish.
Almost every hero has asked him for advice on how to be a good hero.
Harley, can you imagine?
Bateman, an illiterate person who had not graduated from high school, actually gave instructions to the Atom, who had received more than a dozen doctorates, and taught him how to modify some minor problems in the atomic suit."
"Ivy, don't be so mean. Bruce is not illiterate. At the end of June, he received two more degrees: a bachelor's degree in computer science and a master's degree in mechanical engineering." Selina said.
Harley glanced at her belly again and couldn't help but ask: "When will you marry him?"
"Wait for another two years. Crises have been coming one after another recently, and the earth is a bit chaotic. When the situation stabilizes, the world will be peaceful, and when Bateman will no longer be as busy as a spinning top every day."
"It seems you will never be able to get married in this life." Harley complained.
"The Apokolips crisis is over, and after surviving the Pharaoh crisis, Gotham should be able to recover." Selina was stunned and said in a daze: "Looking back now, Gotham two years ago was as peaceful as a dream.
If the city can return to the state it was in at that time, Bateman can probably take off his cloak with peace of mind and live an ordinary life with me."
Harley complained: "Isn't it two years ago before Bateman debuted? Is the goal of his hard work just to change Gotham back to what it was before he worked hard?"
"Dong dong" The heavy wooden door of the living room was knocked from the outside. Harry only looked sideways and saw no one, but felt a familiar scent.
It's a stranger.
She also imitated Ivy, hooked her fingers, and the yellow energy formed a small hand to open the door.
The stranger looked very tired after a long journey. After entering the door, he said directly: "Harley, I just came back from Oua and have convinced Ganser that if you agree to several conditions of the Guardians, the Green Lantern Corps is willing to sign a peace with you.
protocol."
Harley raised her eyebrows, "Did I give you a hint that I need to negotiate with Green Lantern?"
"Because you didn't, Bateman was worried that you would fight Star Wars with the Green Lantern Corps, so he asked me to go to Oua." Stranger sighed.
"Why is it Bateman again? Could it be that there was a hero's conference and a pony rider became the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
