Skeletal Superman recalled the scene, and a clear trace of fear showed on his face.

"I heard him say that from the moment these Amazonians stepped into the shelter, those invisible 'bugs' had already burrowed into their brains."

"And even without receiving any commands, those bugs would follow some fixed procedure, maintaining the rate at which they gnawed at the brainstems in proportion to the Amazonians' rate of regeneration."

Batman's voice was exceptionally grave.

"Lex Luthor, who was determined to eliminate every superhuman in the world, might be far more dangerous than the one from our world in some ways. We have no way of predicting what other deadly weapons he might still be hiding."

Reverse Flash and Shane's expressions simultaneously turned ugly.

If Cyborg hadn't broken through the cross-dimensional communication technology back then, the two of them would have charged straight into the next world, where their opponent had already laid an inescapable trap. They would probably have been killed by Lex Luthor's schemes by now.

Reverse Flash didn't need to consider whether the other side could counter a form of the Speed Force they had never seen before.

Leaving aside how that idiot Flash had been captured, once he was caught, hadn't Luthor seen it already?

Lex Luthor's intelligence was highly praised even in the history books of the future.

Shane wasn't afraid of that dehydration virus. As far as he remembered, during the dozen or so years in the past, quite a few civilizations being conquered by Viltrum had tried to use viruses to resist the invasion.

But most viruses in the universe would be "purified" by the Viltrumites' constitutions.

Of course, that was probably also one of the reasons the entire Viltrumite race would be nearly wiped out by the Scourge Virus a thousand years later.
