Chapter 432 / Chapter 433

Their headquarters, seemingly surrounded by stars, was located in the middle of these seven small cities.

In addition to these seven small cities and the central city, there is a unique architectural structure located at a relatively distant point.

A huge, square building, seemingly perfectly sealed from the outside, without any windows, was built far from the Central City and several smaller towns.

While the building might be unfamiliar to strangers, those from the Legion and those familiar with the Legion style would naturally understand what kind of building it was.

This building was constructed in imitation of the former cosmic prison of the Indigo Tribe.

The seven Legion have been merged into the Legion, but their duties remain unchanged. In fact, after joining the Utopia Alliance, they will be even more thorough in fulfilling their duties than before.

True peace in the universe occurs when there is only one voice throughout the entire universe.

The previous cosmic prison housed a large number of criminals that the Indigo Tribe couldn't capture, who were either imprisoned or reformed. Now, all of these prisoners have been transferred to this one prison.

Although the process was somewhat tedious, no unexpected incidents occurred. After all, apart from the Sixth Squad, the Indigo Squad, the other 6 squads also contributed significantly to the escort of the prisoners.

Besides these former criminals, two new strangers have arrived at the prison, and their arrival has immediately silenced the other criminals.

One is Steppenwolf, and the other is Doomsday.

Only those of the same kind can truly sense the threat posed by one another. Upon seeing the arrival of these two even more terrifying supervillains, the previously noisy group of supervillains instantly fell silent, so quiet that even the buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard.

Just recently, a temporary structure was erected outside this square prison.

All the researchers from the Utopia Alliance who came from Earth are here, and in this temporary building, there is a pipe connecting it to the prison.

The biological object they were studying, Doomsday, was transported back and forth through this pipe. Then, the researchers dissected it into eight pieces, and each piece was carefully examined under a microscope.

Everyone has their own area of expertise. These researchers, who may seem weak and powerless, may not have any combat ability, but their knowledge in their respective fields is something that combat personnel can only dream of.

It has been established that once Doomsday dies, it will enhance its own characteristics in response to the cause of death. Although these researchers have extracted countless biological samples and tissues from Doomsday Destroyer, miraculously, they have not allowed it to experience a true death.

I don't know what kind of weird methods they used, but they not only obtained countless biological tissues, but they are also researching how to make the Doomsday grow in reverse.

"Since her death strengthens something related to death, is it possible for us to create something relatively less powerful, but with the characteristic of causing it to die slowly over time, thus allowing it to degenerate?"

Such bizarre and nonsensical suggestions kept emerging, and each one was eagerly sought after by this group of fanatical researchers to be applied to Doomsday.

Doomsday, which only possesses the instincts of Beast, has actually developed a sense of fear after a long period of research. Upon seeing this group of researchers, or rather, those people in white coats, it would wail and retreat.

This group of researchers has quite a knack for instilling such fear in Beast.

However, despite the application of many unusual ideas, researchers have made very slow progress.

Their most powerful weapon in understanding biological tissues—genetic research—has inexplicably encountered obstacles when researching certain crucial aspects.

It was as if an invisible lock had been placed over the mysteries of the genes deep within this monster's body.

This has left researchers completely baffled.

After repeated research, this Doomsday finally turned into a pool of clear water one day, right before the eyes of the researchers.

The results of the study were even more puzzling.

"The genome of this monster has inexplicably collapsed?"

Chapter 432

This result surprised many people.

As they continue their in-depth research, it seems that this group of researchers may be able to pry open the lock on the genes at any time.

But just when they were about to achieve their goal, Doomsday died right before their eyes, which was truly a pity.

However, while it's regrettable, it also feels somewhat strange.

It seems ridiculous that these studies alone could completely destroy this monster. After all, Doomsday can evolve according to different death characteristics. How could such simple research possibly kill it completely?

The power wielded by researchers does indeed surpass that of ordinary soldiers in some respects, but it is not ridiculously powerful.

However, someone then proposed another hypothesis.

"Perhaps what we are seeing is not Doomsday's true form, but merely a clone of him."

A researcher suddenly proposed this idea.

"There are indeed many mysteries within Doomsday's body, but when we compare it with previous rumors, this one seems weaker than we imagined. Given these limitations, perhaps we can consider it merely a clone, not possessing the absolute power of the original. Studying it through a clone is therefore impossible."

This viewpoint was subsequently endorsed by other researchers.

Once Doomsday dies, it will evolve corresponding characteristics. No one dares to guess how much Doomsday has grown since Doomsday was driven from Earth.

Even the Darkseid Empire probably wouldn't want to control the First, as they have methods to control destruction. They would likely use cloning to create similar but weaker monsters.

This provides the most appropriate explanation for the inexplicable collapse of the clone Doomsday.

The Darkseid Empire could clone Doomsday, so it naturally had ways to add certain settings to key parts of it. Once these key points were triggered, the clone would naturally collapse.

This is indeed something that makes one sigh with a touch of unease.

They knew there was a treasure in front of them, but the true entrance to that treasure was firmly held by another group of people.

The desire of this group of researchers to attack this empire is now even more urgent than that of the four Legion.

"Wait, although we lost such a precious biological material, don't forget what's around us. There might be even more unexpected materials in there..."

After sighing for a while, another unscrupulous researcher suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke again.

This suggestion initially surprised the other researchers.

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

Biotechnology research, in some respects, often means unacceptable moral and physical harm.

Human rights are often easily compromised in this kind of research, which is precisely what the Utopia Alliance does not allow.

Even the previous X-Gene activator was approved for development because its ultimate purpose was for all Mutants, or more precisely, all those with the X-Gene.

This is another important reason why biotechnology has progressed so slowly within the Utopia Alliance.

But where are these researchers now?

Next to the Fourth Legion's space prison!

Human rights apply to ordinary people and members of the Utopia Alliance, not to these supervillains in prison...

"For those criminals who might return, please be lenient. This will serve as a deterrent and a form of persuasion to others. As for those who have been determined to be beyond redemption, please use them to your fullest extent. The greater the deterrent effect, the better."

The Sixth Squad guarding the prison readily agreed to the researchers' request after hearing it.

The Sixth Squad's ultimate goal in creating this prison was not to detain criminals, but to persuade all criminals to turn to good.

There are some hopeless individuals, and the only option they have is to lock them up completely. As for this group of people who are impossible to release, handing them over to researchers to let them experience a living hell in order to better persuade others to change their ways as soon as possible is not an option that the Sixth Squad has no objection to.

As for the other small teams, they chose to ignore them.

Enemy?

If the enemy isn't meant to be eliminated, then it's meant to be exploited to extract even greater value from their victory.

On this point, the opinions of the other teams were largely in agreement with Su Chen's.

At this moment, the researchers finally remembered the instructions sent by the Utopia Alliance on Earth to establish a research institute.

"I think we should put the biological Research Department of this institute here..."

After a long period of discussion, the initial shape of the research institute was finally finalized among this group of core researchers.

Just as the Legion was divided into four Legion, the research institute was also divided into several parallel parts.

The ancient powers once possessed by civilizations related to Rune Magic have become the Magic Division of the research institute.

Although the dwarves focused on forging, most of what they possessed was related to composite magic, so they also belonged to the Magic Division (the Money Bureau).

As for the historical artifacts left behind by Iron Man and other high-energy scientists in the two universes, and the possible historical extensions that may follow, they have become the Technology Division of the research institute.

As for the research on the New Mutants, the research on Amazo, and the current research on these strange criminals and the Doomsday, it became the third division, the Biochemical Division.

The three branches each have their own responsibilities and operate in parallel.

The third largest power in the Utopia Alliance, the Research Department with the least combat power but capable of creating infinite combat power, was finally definitively established.

This is a good thing for the Utopia Alliance, but whether it's a good thing for the criminals imprisoned in the space prison is hard to say.

After all, the main offices of the Biochemical Division are right next to the Space Prison...

Chapter 433

In this way, all the researchers involved in the Utopia Alliance found their place, and under such management, their relationships became transparent and easier to manage and handle.

Compared to the previous chaotic management style, this new approach allows them to better utilize their work abilities, and even when cooperation is needed, things become much more organized and clear.

Unlike before, when finding a suitable formula or recipe required contacting their respective research teams—sometimes a dozen or so—it's different now.

For reasons that cannot be clearly explained, the newly established third branch of the research institute, the Biochemical Division, is currently seeing its research results increase rapidly at a visible pace.

Some of the results were quickly applied to the field of medical treatment.

After all, among the four Legion, the Third Legion has suffered the most severe losses and is the most difficult to recover from.

On the one hand, they are recruiting soldiers, and on the other hand, they are treating the wounded. With the addition of these newly researched results, the wounded can recover more quickly, and even some irreversible damage may be reversed or even completely cured.

With the establishment of the Research Department, the entire Utopia Alliance, and even the entire Earth, returned to a state of peace.

Everything is proceeding smoothly, and the spread of the New Mutants on Earth 1 is nearing its end. Except for a few idiots, no one would refuse such benefits.

Just as no one would refuse the power that belongs to them.

Throughout Earth 1, people gradually adapted to the Utopia Alliance and Utopia Alliance measures, moving from initial fear to indifference.

However, those organizations that belong to or are associated with the Utopia Alliance that this calm is merely the prelude to an even greater storm.

In various production processes, countless Sentinels are produced and cursed. New, unactivated Sentinels are continuously transported to their respective warehouses, while damaged robots are repaired and immediately put into use.

The size of the First Legion will immediately return to its original level within a very short period of time, and will continue to grow thereafter.

These Sentinels, which can operate continuously with almost no logistical support, have always been the most effective Legion used by the Alliance.

The repaired Sentinels will be deployed to various cities to perform routine security tasks, while the newly manufactured robots will not be activated and will simply remain quietly in the production warehouse.

Those who haven't had a chance yet, the robots are waiting for a command. After that command, they will all wake up and head to another battlefield in this universe.

Besides the First Legion, all members of the Third Legion are also actively training, recovering or exercising as needed.

The older members were either recuperating from their injuries or replenishing their strength, while others were training the newly arrived members, telling them about the cruelty of the wars they had experienced.

These two Legion suffered the most losses in the previous battles, but without a doubt, the one that suffered the most losses was also the one that grew the most.

At least under the Third Legion's reckless fighting style, no one, whether within their own Legion or the entire Utopia Alliance, is now making fun of the Third Legion as the weakest Legion.

No one can mock the Legion that fight so hard for the Utopia Alliance.

Even well-intentioned ones are impossible.

As for the Second Legion, they have always stayed with Hela, obediently remaining on the continent of Asgard.

They didn't need to fight as desperately as the other two Legion to gain combat experience.

All the dead soldiers need to do is rest quietly, recall the battles they have experienced, and transform those battle experiences into the energy of new wisdom as soon as possible.

What the Second Legion did was recall the battles they had experienced and gradually become familiar with them again, after all, beneath these seemingly broken bodies, a brand new soul was born.

This can be considered a small backdoor opened by the Goddess of Death for her own clone. Apart from this Legion, no other Legion can create new intelligence within a dead body.

In addition to these three Legion, the Fourth Legion was also carrying out its own operations.

After taking care of this new planet, the Fourth Legion had a new mission: to look after this cosmic prison and the newly established Biochemical Division.

Utopia attaches great importance to this newly established research institute and its most important branch.

Furthermore, their location was adjacent to the most dangerous prison, a point that required the Fourth Legion to be extremely cautious about.

After completing all this and arranging sufficient guards, the Fourth Legion began its plan, gradually expanding its reach to other planets and even other star systems.

The Fourth Legion was not involved in this campaign against the Empire, and they will stick to Su Chen's original intention: while the remaining three Legion launch their attack on the Empire, they will also gradually begin their conquest of a universe.

To be precise, they didn't even need to wait for the empire to launch an attack; they were already doing the work of conquest.

They are actually very adept at doing this kind of thing.
