Chapter 184
Often, what might be a matter of one universe can have a ripple effect, causing the entire Multiverse to be rebooted.
Su Quan took over Themyscira and Atlantis, recruited Wonder Woman, eliminated Aquaman, and influenced Batman and Superman. Despite doing so much, he didn't feel any prying eyes or attention.
Regardless of whether that spying came from some big shot or some kind of consciousness, it definitely appeared!
Why did it appear? Or rather, why did it appear at this particular time?
Coincide?
Or is it because I triggered something?
Su Quan racked his brains for a long time without any clue. He wasn't afraid of being spied on, much less of being targeted by some big shot...
On the contrary, he was happy to do so.
Firstly, he is confident in his current strength, and secondly, even if he encounters a powerful figure he can't handle right now, he can still return to the Marvel Universe!
Therefore, he is not afraid of being targeted by powerful figures, nor is he afraid of them taking action. Otherwise, how would he acquire stronger abilities?
"Click!"
General Zod's neck was broken by Clark Kent!
Su Quan looked at Clark Kent, his eyes lighting up slightly, and a possibility flashed into his mind.
Although Superman would have killed General Zod according to the original plan, just like the difference between intentional homicide and self-defense, the superheroes in the DC Universe are somewhat judged by their intentions rather than their actions.
Superman is the core of the Justice League and even the entire DC Universe; his changes will affect many things.
The Superman Su Quan cultivated was not a saint. With a different mindset, he did different things, and the resulting butterfly effect was even more obvious!
The Superman of today is not like the Superman in the movies, who was forced to kill General Zod in order to save the Earth!
So, could the reason for this prying eyes be related to Superman's changes? In other words, could this be a major event related to Superman? Or could it involve a major event affecting the entire Multiverse?
If that's the case, it means we can make a killing!
"Call out--"
Su Quan flashed to Clark Kent's side, not even glancing at the dead General Zod, and asked directly, "Did you feel like you were being watched, or anything unusual?"
Peep?
Something's wrong?
Clark Kent paused, thought seriously for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't feel like I was being watched, nor did I feel anything unusual. Uncle Su Quan, what happened? You were acting a little strange before."
Su Quan nodded, then shook his head. "I'm not sure yet, but—never mind, go check if there's anything we should take from General Zod's ship, like equipment to alter the planet's environment. That thing is too dangerous; we should keep it."
Clark Kent nodded and flew toward the spaceship.
P. S.: This is just the prelude to a major event.
Although General Zod's battle with Clark Kent did not turn into a life-or-death struggle in Metropolis as depicted in the movies, making it known throughout the city.
However, the military, the Pentagon, the Pentagon, and other departments and forces have been monitoring the situation. As soon as the battle ended, their pre-arranged personnel arrived at the no-man's-land battlefield.
The war is over, we won!
What happens next?
They're definitely trying to profit from it!
Who would be willing to give up such a once-in-a-century political asset as 'defeating aliens and protecting Earth'?
Not to mention the alien corpses and spaceships that are of great research value. If we can really study Alien Technology or crack the genetic secrets of aliens, the benefits to individuals and countries will be countless.
Su Quan was too lazy to deal with these politicians. He had already demonstrated enough power. As long as they didn't provoke him or affect his interests, they could fight and scramble among themselves as they pleased.
As per the terms previously agreed upon with Martian Manhunter, General Zod's ship, his own body, and the remains of two other Kryptonians were left behind.
Oh, the equipment on the spaceship that could modify the planet's environment was sent to the Void Manor by Clark Kent.
That's the headquarters of the Superman Legion, so it's absolutely safe, and it also allows scientists to study it.
The Birds of Prey escorted Faora and four other Kryptonians back to Arkham Asylum in Quinjet.
Su Quan brought Lois Lane out of the Mirror Dimension and they returned together to the unused office of the Daily Planet.
"I'll go edit the news first; this story will definitely be on the front page!"
I'll spend more time with you later!
"Oh, right, don't forget you promised to let Clark Kent give me an exclusive interview. Also, you said before that I could interview General Zod. He's dead now, but Faora can do it instead."
Lois Lane said a few words to Su Quan in a flurry of activity before turning around and running out of the office.
"Ring-ling——"
My phone rang; it was Martian Manhunter calling.
After the call connected, Martian Manhunter couldn't help but say, "You're just leaving like that? Perhaps some things still require you and Clark Kent's help."
Su Quan scoffed and said bluntly, "Tell those people, what's mine is mine. Don't touch it, don't take it, understand? I'm giving you face by leaving the spaceship and the corpses behind. If they're still not satisfied, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"They've been given too many smiles, and that's how they've become so spoiled."
"If they want to die, I'll grant their wish."
"Don't be angry, things haven't come to that," the Martian Manhunter advised.
Su Quan laughed, "I'm not angry. People who can be crushed with a single thought aren't worth getting angry at. It's just that I have things I'm more interested in right now, so I'm too lazy to deal with them."
"What are you more interested in?" the Martian Manhunter asked curiously.
Su Quan thought for a moment and said, "I sensed a higher level of surveillance."
"It's not that they're on a higher level than me, but rather that their methods are very interesting, and I find them fascinating."
"A higher level of spying?" The Martian Manhunter was stunned, somewhat unable to understand.
Su Quan explained simply, "Beyond the real material universe, it could come from heaven, from Earth, or from the Multiverse, or even from beyond the Multiverse."
"I haven't confirmed who it is yet."
The Martian Manhunter was silent for a moment, then said, "I haven't found anything unusual, but if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Good."
After hanging up the phone, Su Quan used the Void Battle Bead to contact Atlanna, asking her to mobilize the power of Atlantis and the Aquaman Legion to search for Kryptonite in various sea areas.
They then contacted Diana and Al-Kael, asking them to find and acquire Kryptonite as well.
When General Zod's ship entered Earth, it must have left behind some of the Kryptonite it carried. In addition, when Clark Kent came to Earth, his ship must have also carried Kryptonite, but we hadn't specifically looked for it before. This time, we can look for it together.
Su Quan didn't look for it before because it wasn't necessary; in the movies, Kryptonite was basically obtained by Batman and Lex Luthor.
Especially Lex Luthor, who is like Superman's 'Joker', the two are locked in a love-hate relationship, destined to be together forever.
Normally, Lex Luthor and Clark Kent are from the same hometown, classmates, and close friends. However, Clark Kent's true identity is exposed, and Lex Luthor, driven by love turned to hatred, becomes determined to defeat Superman.
Or perhaps, after Superman's debut, Lex Luthor, a humanist on Earth, saw him as the greatest threat and began to try to defeat and kill him instead.
Regardless of the reason, Lex Luthor's collection of Kryptonite is based on knowing Superman or Superman already being a celebrity. The current Lex Luthor doesn't know Superman at all, and has no grudge against him.
Of course, once the news about Lois Lane was released, it probably would have happened, because Lex Luthor is actually the same kind of person as Bruce Wayne: smart, rich, arrogant, and unlikely to trust anyone easily, let alone aliens who could easily destroy the Earth and humanity.
Given Su Quan's current power and the fact that he searched for Kryptonite first, if Lex Luthor eventually finds it, well, then it's 100% certain there's a problem!
There's definitely some big shot planning something big about Superman!
As for Kryptonite itself, Su Quan really didn't care. If he really needed it, he could just collect it from other universes. Kryptonite isn't like the Infinity Stones, which can't be used across universes!
Su Quan leaned back in his chair, his legs propped up on the desk, and squinted slightly as he recalled major events related to Superman.
The various reboots in the Multiverse have resulted in numerous versions of Superman, and there have been many major events related to Superman. However, considering various factors, Superman's major events are somewhat less popular, well-known, and influential than those of Batman and the Flash.
Batman's Metal and the Flash and Flashpoint are highly influential and well-known, while Superman's major event, in terms of Su Quan alone, is Superman's Death.
But this major event doesn't seem to fit the current situation, so—
Etc!
Su Quan sat up straight with a start.
He suddenly thought of a major event related to Superman that fit the current situation perfectly!
The Doomsday Clock!
Why did Su Quan think of this major event? Because in this major event, Superman is the core of the Multiverse, and his changes will have a huge impact on the universe, and even the Multiverse!
That's one aspect!
Another major reason is that the 'villain' in this major event is Doctor Manhattan.
That's right, it's Doctor Manhattan from the Watchmen Universe.
Given Doctor Manhattan's abilities, if he were to spy on me, his methods would probably be just as I had guessed before!
It's a higher-level approach!
Doctor Manhattan, the quantum the Watcher, is a true Multiverse- level expert. This Multiverse- level refers not to just one Multiverse, but to multiple, or even all, Multiverses!
