Chapter 452 - 449 | Illegal Detention, Interstellar War

'Cousin?'

Skinny Superman's brain went down. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of this word.

He was brought into this secret base by the military when he was a baby. He never received proper education and study, nor did he form basic thinking abilities.

Every day, there was nothing but tests, training and blood drawing.

Relatives, friends....

These concepts were too strange for him.

"It's warm."

The skinny Superman grasped Luke's outstretched palm and felt the surging stellar energy from it.

He had never seen the sun, so his eyes looked surprised.

In this man, who claimed to be his big cousin, Kal-El saw a golden light radiating from him.

He didn't know what it was but felt as if he had returned to his mother's arms, full of comfort.

The original fear and anxiety that was mixed with the moment, like a cloud, dissipated.

"Co... cou... cousin."

Skinny Superman called out stiffly, following Luke's words.

That thin, pale, bloodless face also forced a smile.

It was like some kind of affectionate, welcoming response.

"Poor little cousin, look at what these human beings have done to you!"

Luke had intended to put on a full show, preparing for a touching scene of brotherly recognition.

But considering that the Flashpoint world would be restored sooner or later, Superman in the main universe may not remember it. So regrettably, the idea was abandoned.

He pulled skinny Superman up and handed him to Barry on the side.

The Flash's eyes contained some guilt.

After all, this distorted and collapsed Flashpoint world was created by him and the Reverse-Flash.

Superman was in such a situation; it was inseparable from his actions.

"Don't think too much; as long as you can make up for this mistake, it won't mean anything."

Luke patted Barry on the shoulder and comforted him.

By injecting insignificant amounts of stellar energy, he made skinny Superman look much better.

At least the other party could stand firm, even if he didn't have the strength to walk.

"Let's get out now."

Luke frowned slightly. He didn't like the simulated environment inside the bunker.

Although the radiation of the red sun wouldn't instantly make him weak and lose all his abilities, it was still a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect that the most powerful man on the planet, as you call him, was a guy who looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind."

Thomas Wayne looked at the skinny Superman. His expression was obviously disappointing.

This guy was as thin as a dried sausage. He didn't even have any muscles.

He even felt that if he punched the guy, it would kill him.

"The alarm went off! The military noticed us!"

Barry helped Superman. When they walked out of the base, he heard a shrill alarm.

After that, the sound of sharp and neat footsteps were approaching.

The internal gates of the base were slowly closed, forming a completely sealed cage.

The Flash and Batman's faces slightly changed. While skinny Superman had difficulty moving, they would have a hard time breaking out.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Luke went ahead and opened the bio-force field.

A group of soldiers rushed in. After receiving the command that they could shoot the intruders, they didn't hesitate and opened fire.

Da da! Da da da!

The metal bullets bombarded the invisible barrier bio-force field like a storm.

However, the kinetic energy couldn't even make Luke take a step back.

"Hide behind me. Don't move too far away from me."

Luke said lightly and then moved his feet.

The bio-force field was like an invisible iron wall, blocking the fierce fire.

The American soldiers, who tried to rush in, were directly bounced off and pushed away.

In this way, Luke, with all the people behind him, moved through the corridors unhindered.

'It might be more believable to say that this is the most powerful man on the planet. '

Thomas Wayne looked at Luke's tall and straight back and thought silently.

This man, who claimed to be from Krypton, came to Earth to look for his younger cousin.

He looked no different from human beings, but in fact, he wasn't the same species at all.

The American soldiers in the base even brought up bazookas and grenades but still couldn't break the invisible barrier.

On the battlefield, this existence was simply a one-man army.

'What would I do if he became an enemy...'

Batman habitually thought about it and formulated a plan.

"Soon, Kal-El. You'll see the sun soon."

Luke didn't pay attention to those weapons and walked through the corridor, to the sewers of Metropolis.

By following the original route back, they could leave the sewers.

So that Superman, who had never felt the sunlight in his long life, could see the daylight again.

"The sun ..."

Kal-El's eyes were in a bit of a trance.

He had only read about it in books about learning to identify words.

"Intruder, stop what you're doing so we can talk."

As Luke led the crowd, approaching the end of the corridor, an old man with white hair and a tall figure stood in the way.

Judging from his clothes and epaulettes, he should be a General.

"I'm General Samuel Lane. Batman, and ... The Flash and this anonymous gentleman. You are trespassing on military property and attempting to take military's property!"

General Lane, like other bureaucrats in the Pentagon, started with big accusations.

"This is a felony! You are making an enemy of the entire nation!"

Luke stopped. He glanced at the other party and the soldiers behind him.

Through the walls and pipes, his Super Vision saw dozens of destroyers assembling at Metropolis's harbour.

So, it seemed that General Lane didn't have the sincerity for negotiation; he just wanted to stall for time.

"Oh? What about the inhumane experiments conducted by the U.S. military on living beings?"

Luke laughed. He himself was a Lieutenant General of the Pentagon. He knew too well of the virtues of these bureaucrats.

They would first try to seize the high ground by slapping treason and trespassing charges on them.

Then psychological pressure to take advantage of the big momentum ...

This was an already outdated method.

"This has nothing to do with us; it's all the work of that temporary department!"

General Lane denied it, leaving the blame to those 'all-powerful' temporary employees.

"General Lane, I might as well directly tell you. The man the military considers to be 'Subject One', his name is Kal-El, from Krypton, the son of our planet's greatest scientist, Jor-El."

Luke's eyes flickered. His mouth turned up, and he began to talk nonsense.

"Because of an accident, he was forced to take a spaceship and fell to the Earth while he was still in his infancy."

"You found Kal-El, illegally detained him, and conducted immoral and cruel experiments on him for 30 years!"

General Lane's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after a short pause...

Luke continued with an angry tone, sharply accusing, "Mr Jor-El has lived a great life, he has served Krypton, he has shed his blood for Krypton, but his son has been abused and imprisoned by Earthlings, which no Kryptonian can tolerate!"

"Congratulations, General Lane, for bringing an interstellar war to Earth!"

"I have sent a signal. As we are speaking, Kryptonian warships are moving at the speed of light."

"It won't be long before destructive artillery fires cover every corner of the Earth, burning everything that human civilisation has created to ashes!"

Luke's righteous and stern rebuke was like a cannonball falling on the crowd, causing an uproar and discussion.

The leader, General Lane, was barely able to keep his composure and keep his inner panic in check.

He was the commander of 'Project Superman' and naturally knew how terrifying Kryptonians were.

Not to mention their individual strength.

The spaceship alone showed the degree of technological advancement that could throw the Earth into chaos.

If there really were a war ... it would be unimaginable!

"That, I ... this may be a misunderstanding."

With this in mind, General Lane's attitude softened.

He couldn't afford to start an interstellar war on his own initiative.

If what the other party said was all true....

Then, he and the Pentagon would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in human history -- if the earth still existed at that time.

"Misunderstanding? Is it also a misunderstanding that your destroyer is already parked outside and ready to fire?"

Luke snapped and asked.

"I... I'll immediately tell them to retreat."

General Lane touched the sweat seeping from his forehead. He had been pulled into it and lost the ability to think.

"So, what are you still doing standing in the way? Aren't you going to let me go?"

Luke held his head high and asked again.

"Or are you trying to kill someone?"

General Lane shook his head repeatedly and ordered the soldiers behind him to make way.

"Batman and the Flash are both good people with noble character and kindness, and also friends of Krypton."

Taking the crowd through the military ranks, Luke looked at General Lane and lightly said.

"The Kryptonian warships will arrive on Earth in a week's time. It will be up to you to decide whether to welcome peace or to start a war."

Although General Lane still had doubts in his heart, he was too afraid to show them.

Since aliens existed, it wasn't surprising that there were alien civilisations.

Besides, the Kryptonian people weren't the only visitors who had visited Earth.

A long time ago, the military discovered another alien.

His name was Abin Sur, and he claimed to be a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
