Inside the top-floor office of Vought Tower.
Martian Manhunter knocked on the door and slowly entered Lex Luthor's office.
He opened his mouth to say something, but his pupils abruptly contracted.
Although Lex Luthor was still neatly dressed and smiling, he seemed somehow different from before. Martian Manhunter could not say exactly how.
Martian Manhunter sent an extremely discreet thread of psychic power into Lex Luthor's brain.
The next second, his expression turned utterly grim, and chills ran down his spine.
Lex Luthor had been brainwashed!
His thoughts, memories, and soul had all been forcibly rewritten!
Solomon had made his move against Lex Luthor!
Lex Luthor's earlier vigilance and wariness had been entirely justified. Solomon, who seemed harmless and even repeatedly saved the world, was definitely hiding an extremely terrifying conspiracy!
Martian Manhunter took a long look at the smiling Lex Luthor. Had it not been for his warning, he probably would have become an accomplice himself.
A deep sense of helplessness welled up inside him. He could not save Lex Luthor. At least for now, he absolutely could not act.
Solomon's psychic power was far greater than his. If he acted rashly, Solomon would certainly notice, and then even he would not escape having his memories altered.
Martian Manhunter sighed, forcibly suppressed the turmoil inside him, and picked an inconsequential business matter to exchange a few perfunctory words about with Lex Luthor. Then he decisively turned and left the office.
Outside the door, standing in the empty, silent corridor, Martian Manhunter's eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Throughout Vought International, he could not find even one person he could trust or talk to.
Solomon's strength far exceeded his own. On his own, he could not possibly stop Solomon's conspiracy.
He needed help!
Clark?
Diana?
Both were now on excellent terms
