"It's over. This world is doomed."
Seeing Trigon sweep aside the superheroes and turn them into puppets, the viewers were filled with despair. This time, it really looked like the end.
Before long, every superhero would become Trigon's puppet.
Zod was ecstatic. He had thought they were going to lose, only for Trigon to give him a wonderful surprise.
It looked like he could get back to drinking.
It wasn't just ordinary people who were despairing. Red Tornado also believed the superheroes were certain to lose, so it decisively activated its Self-Destruct System and drove its nuclear reactor to full power.
Then Red Tornado stared fixedly at Trigon. When it was about to explode, it would charge at him at full speed and blow him to pieces, completing its mission.
Red Tornado would prevail!
"Red Tornado's Self-Destruct System has activated! It'll explode in thirty seconds!"
The military scientist cried out in alarm. Everyone in the president's office and the frontline command center paled at once. General Calvin immediately moved to warn the superheroes, but just then, another general said:
"We can't warn them. Once they run, Trigon will follow. At his speed, he can get a long way in thirty seconds.
"If that happens, not only will Red Tornado have sacrificed itself for nothing, but the world will still be in danger.
"Besides, since a nuclear explosion is already inevitable, I think we should launch nuclear missiles at Metropolis to make absolutely certain Trigon dies."
Everyone stared at the general in shock. This man was truly ruthless. He wanted not only to finish off Trigon, but to take the opportunity to wipe out the superheroes too.
The military's hostility toward superheroes was common knowledge.
Everyone turned to the president. He hesitated, then slowly said, "May God..."
"God won't forgive you.
