Knights of DC

Chapter 1054 The Beginning of the Mutation
In the Planetary Detective Agency in Nasino City, Ke Wen was watching the speech on the establishment of an international trade island with Atlantis, the country controlled by Neptune, published almost at the same time on the two channels of China and Clark on TV.This is indeed a sensational event in terms of the current generally peaceful international situation, and the Atlantis civilization itself is a branch of human civilization.

If it hadn't accidentally sunk into the bottom of the sea, the current development of earth civilization should look different.But also because of this, there are two branches of human civilization. Before Neptune has mastered the power of Atlantis, Atlantis, which is located on the seabed, is actually not used to land civilizations. After all, one goes to the sea all day long. The civilization of taking out garbage, but also dumping it at the door of your own house, let everyone want to beat people, let alone people from Atlantis.

If it wasn't for the accident and the limitation of the seabed environment, the Atlanteans had already adapted to the seabed environment and could not survive on land for a long time. Coupled with the population restriction, they would have put it on hold.Moreover, the pollution of the marine environment by land civilization was also after the industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution, Atlantis regarded these human compatriots on land as savages who drank blood and disdain to associate with them.

It was only with the passage of time, the emergence of superheroes, and the development of civilization on land that the conflict between the two branches of humanity became acute.Before Neptune came to power, the war initiated by Neptune's half-brother Ocean Lord Orm almost caused a catastrophe.Fortunately, the war was stopped, and Neptune also succeeded in taking power, which temporarily eased the struggle between the two civilizations, and began to seek common ground while reserving differences.

This is also the reason why Neptune has not shown up in the original knight event, because he has more time as the king of a country than as the veteran of the Justice League. Now that the two human civilizations are becoming more and more sharp, one bad one may break out A civil war among human beings. At that time, Sea King himself cannot prevent the start of the war, because he is Sea King. More often, he has to think about his people, especially when land civilizations continue to dump garbage into Haiti and When there is no change, then war is inevitable.

It's just that with the development of these years, after several major events, Aquaman and Mera also took advantage of the vortex of major events to dispel the old factions in Atlantis, especially those who thought they were civilizations of Atlantis. After the guys above everything were suppressed, or they were forced to become victims of the big event, the king of the sea gradually took control of the power, and after becoming the real Atlantis talker, he was also working with the civilization on the land. diplomatic relations activities.

But here lies the problem. At the beginning, the Atlanteans looked down on land civilizations, thinking that most of them were a group of uncivilized primitive people, and they were not worthy of communicating with them.But later, with black technology, the emergence of superheroes, and the frequent destruction of the world, the weight of superheroes has increased, and Atlantis understands that once the seabed and the land go to war, only the Asians will perish. For the human branch of Atlantis, then things are reversed.

Countries that have become land civilizations look down on Atlantis civilization, because the biggest contradictions between Atlantis civilization and land civilization countries are two, one is wanton and unrestrained fishing of fish and hunting of marine resources Without self-control, the second is to dump waste water and garbage on the seabed. Atlantis, which takes the ocean as its living home, cannot bear this kind of environmental change.

But under the coordination of Neptune, they also began to develop together.To put it simply, Atlantis civilization provides technical support and talents to help civilized countries on land solve sewage and garbage. After all, it uses water as energy, and it is efficient and pollution-free. Atlantis has always been They are all top-notch, and they themselves are a civilization where magic and technology coexist.

After only one round of coordination, only China has reached a consensus with Atlantis in this regard.

The existing policy of banning seas and moratoriums on fishing and fish farming, coupled with the path of sustainable development, also provides the basis for cooperation between the two parties.

As for Japan, Norway, and Denmark, these are very funny. On the one hand, they call themselves developed countries, but on the other hand, they have never stopped hunting marine life, such as seals and whales.When they think about it, marine biological resources are scarce, so you Atlantis should help a lot, can’t you talk to the fish, then talk to the fish, let them spawn more, so that they won’t be overfished .

Such words made Neptune almost unable to hold back at that time, and a trident put these human beings who spoke, the representatives of the country, directly on it as if they were 猹.This is the case even for the US representatives before Clark became president. To be precise, they are the chaebols representing these interests. The capital giants think so. He agrees [-]%.

But if he agrees, then the interests of the marine fishing industry, including those factories that discharge domestic and industrial wastewater, and the bosses behind these factories will be violated.The president is a running water president, and they are the iron-clad bosses. How can they affect their long-term interests because of the running water president's operations? Naturally, they have to say NO.

That is to say, Clark came to power, backed by Wayne and Lex, two major international companies. Together, these two companies can basically fight against the big guys on Wall Street, and these two companies are part of Wall Street. Everyone has made it clear that they want to stand for President Clark. They can only be obedient and admit defeat. Therefore, there is the scene Ke Wen saw on TV now. A scene by Atlantis, China and the United States, basically On the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, the international free trade island jointly funded and established by the three giants within the five permanent members will officially open on the [-]st of next month.

"Wow, Atlantis has formally established diplomatic relations with land civilizations, and even created an artificial island. Also, considering the abilities of Atlantis and Sea King, it is not difficult to complete an island. Dad, let's catch up." A major event of the times!"

In the detective agency, Conan also integrated well into his role as a son and an ordinary person who eats melons at this time, and told Ke Wen there.Because of the major event that happened here at this time, neither the future line of the Apocalypse War where Conan is located nor the line of the savior Ke Wen has ever existed. This is a line that belongs exclusively to Ke Wen’s current normal time line. The big event of the times.

There is nothing wrong with Conan's rhetoric, because Neptune can only talk to fish is nothing more than people's ridicule between Zhenglian giants.After all, Neptune, as a Zhenglian giant, rarely shows up at other times except for activities in major events. When he shows up, it is because of conflicts with those countries that regard the marine industry as their main industry, so they will be ridiculed as superpowers If you can talk to fish, if you can't talk to fish, how can you attack those countries from the standpoint of fish.

But as long as you have read the book for two years, you will understand why Neptune wants to hate these countries, because of the difference in position and vision.

"Hey, big brother, as long as you don't call me dad, this chat can go on. I didn't complain that your name is the same as that elementary school student of death. Why do you call me dad all day long!"

Ke Wen, who was originally thinking about whether there would be any accidents in the news, which can be regarded as a major event of the times, was also disturbed by his own Conan, who had no idea that it was his son.The relationship between a man and a man is either father and son or brothers, which is understandable, but Ke Wen always feels terrified when he is called father every day.

"Oh, Conan is the name of many people with the same name and surname all over the world, but you are the only one who can make us call daddy willingly. Say yes, daddy."

On the other side, Ke Xue, who was helping Ke Wen sort out the entrusted orders during this period, also added that Ke Wen helped the forehead again, God knows what kind of treasures these two temporary workers he hired, calling his father addicted , if it weren't for the fact that these two people are fine, he wondered if they had any special hobbies.

"You have to be called dad if you pay your wages, so if I give you a wife, do you have to call me grandpa?"

"That's okay!" Conan and Ke Xue also refused in unison. Just when Ke Wen felt that he could finally chat on the normal channel, the two brothers also said in unison again: "We have to let them call your dad too, ours Future generations call you grandpa!"

"Cough! Cough! You won, I'll go out, you look at the store and deal with the matter!"

Being robbed by the two brothers for a while, Ke Wen could hardly find a suitable reason to refute. For a moment, Ke Wen really thought that they were his sons, who came from the future.But when I thought about the previous confrontation with Dr. Manhattan, he said that the future cannot be seen clearly because of his various messes, which means that people in the future do not know what happened in the past and what the future will look like It only depends on how his generation changes the DC universe, so Ke Wen can only say that the two clans he knows have thicker skins than himself.

After coughing a few times and recovering from the embarrassment, Ke Wen also put on his clothes and left the office directly. After such a big incident happened, he had to go to the Titan Building to discuss countermeasures with them.After Ke Wen left, the two brothers Conan and Ke Xue who were working there also stopped their work at hand, and they also started discussing the major events of this era on the TV there.

Both of them knew very well that this was the first major event of the era after their father avoided two branches that might lead to future choices. Future intelligence cannot be used for reference, and only the two of them can decide on this major event of the era. , whether they want to participate in it.

"What do you think, this is a major event of the times," Ke Xue asked, putting aside the commissioned content.

"This doesn't seem to be my professional class. You can ask and answer by yourself." Regarding Ke Xue's question, Conan also lay there, looking like he didn't want to use his brain.

"Don't worry about this, you are the son of Dad and Kara, not only Kamen Rider Kuuga with the core of Doomsday's mother body, but you are also a Kryptonian in essence, you also have super brains, don't be like Superman , Wait until I become an ordinary person before starting to use my brain to think."

Regarding Conan's laziness, Ke Xue also complained there. Seeing this, Conan couldn't be lazy anymore, so he had to sit up and explain the major event of the era that was being broadcast on various channels in turn.

"First of all, this is a good thing, because whether it's you or me, Dad did the same thing back then. He wanted the earth to stop fighting and start the journey of interstellar migration together. Atlantis civilization plus Krypton Technology still has a bunch of high-IQ talents, and it took a hundred years to get out of the earth. But all of them disappeared because of two major events. It's on your side, the invasion from the dark multiverse.

But now, without the Doomsday Legion, without the Dark Multiverse, everything seems to be on track.But is there a possibility that this may be a turning point in the future of the third branch? "

"The future of the third branch?" Ke Xue was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "You mean Zatanna who had an unclear relationship with Dad back then?"

"Yeah, our mother told the story back then. At that time, my father was unclear with our two mothers and that Zatanna. There is no reason that you and I were both born. When dad chooses our mom. Since dad can choose our mom, why can’t he choose Zatanna? Didn’t you find out, it seems that our two sons from two different future timelines have returned Here, what about the future timeline where Dad and Zatanna combine?
That future timeline doesn't exist?Do you believe it, anyway, I don't believe it, and my father is the king who suppressed the universe in my future, and he is the savior in your future, so he can't become an ordinary person in the future where Zatanna combines.So this big event of the times, I think it is very likely that the node of the third branch will appear in the future. I don’t believe that our father asked us to come back to let the future node of the third branch be born.

And I have a hunch that although the major events of the Doomsday Legion and the invasion of the dark multiverse in our two future timelines have not occurred, it is very likely that these two major events are evolving in another way, and we return to Here, on the one hand, it is very likely to avoid the future generation of the third branch, and on the other hand, it is also to help the father in this normal timeline, so we have to join in, but with another identity. "

Using his super brain as a mixed Kryptonian, Conan was also analyzing the chain reaction of this major event in the era of international free trade islands where Atlantis cooperated with China and the United States, and gave the two of them their next actions. A policy was set.

"Another identity? With what identity can we intervene in this major event of the times?"

Regarding the question of his half-brother, Conan only had a thought. Around his waist, the linen Damm spirit stone belt inherited from the king Ke Wen appeared, and Ke Xue also consciously stored it from his own space. The device summoned the build drive left to him by the savior Ke Wen, looking at the build drive built by his father and mother together and left to him, Ke Xue and Conan also showed incomprehensible meaning on their faces smile.

Titan Building, when Ke Wen arrived, other members were waiting for him, Kara and Lena were also there, the same, and it was rare to leave Atlantis and come to Titan Building, which was the same at the beginning The prototype of the Titan, one of the members of the outsider team, the young sea hero Calder, a hybrid born from the combination of land humans and submarine humans Atlantis, just like Aquaman.

Ke Wen was taken aback when he saw Calder appearing in the Titan Building, but he still smiled and opened his arms, giving this old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time a big hug.

"Calder, long time no see, one year, or two years?"

"A year and four months to be precise, there is no way, my position is destined to not be able to move freely like you, there are always things waiting for me to deal with."

Calder corrected Ke Wen's guess and said there too.

"So you came up this time to discuss something important with us, um... about the international free trade island next month?"

Ke Wen was very clear about Calder's intentions, and Calder did not hide it.As for the major events that have occurred one after another in the past year or so, Calder is also aware of them, including the recent disappearance of members of the Justice League and the whitewashing of Apocalypse's mechanical superman. He also understands.

"Yes, I also came to discuss this matter with you. Victor also told me about the mechanical superman. We really can't do anything about a mechanical superman who exposes himself to the public, and you put It is also a good move for Connor to launch it, and it is also a good move to let the Chinese Kong Kenan follow the competition of the new Superman. But next month, the opening of the International Free Trade Island, we have also received a notice that the Mechanical Superman will serve as a military Representative Fang attended the meeting for the reason of protecting the president's safety. Therefore, if he wants to take the initiative, he will definitely make trouble at this opening ceremony, and together with Apocalypse, I also came to discuss with you how to deal with it."

Ke Wen was not surprised by Calder's news. He was suppressed by their rules for so long and did nothing.Even if the mechanical superman can bear it, Darkseid behind him will not look at it like this.Otherwise, Ke Wen would not come to the Titan Building to discuss countermeasures. During the period when the Justice League disappeared, all the tasks had to be handed over to the younger generation.

"We have no good way to deal with it now. If he doesn't show his feet, we have no reason to do it. Lena, what did Lex say."

Patting Calder on the shoulder, Ke Wen also asked Lena.

"There is no sign of contact with Apocalypse, or Lex didn't notice it. His inspection is only once a week. During normal times, he either stays in the manor with my mother, or he follows the instructions of the military. Do some anti-terrorist missions to gain the hearts of the people, but compared to the actions of Connor and Kong Kenan, he is destined to have no advantage. If he wants to contact Apocalypse, he can only do so in the manor or when he is on a mission.

But when he came back, those traces would have been cleared away long ago, and Lex couldn't restore everything. He now bears the title of military superman, and we can't do too much. "

In this regard, Ke Wen also nodded noncommittally.After signaling everyone to be quiet, he also expressed his opinion there.

"Okay, everyone knows the reason for being here, so I won't say much. At present, there is only one way that Apocalypse and Mechanical Superman can do it, which is like Clark's inaugural speech at the Capitol last time. Create a big accident, and then let the mechanical superman save the field, and make a complete turnaround. Not to mention, if you let him perform well at the opening ceremony that attracted worldwide attention, he may really be overtaken by him, because He proved himself with actions, and he was indeed at odds with Apocalypse.

In most cases, people will sympathize with the weak, especially his current character design. He has an accident and was transformed by Apocalypse, but he keeps in mind his identity as a person on Earth. If he runs well, people will support him more than Connor and Conquer is difficult to support. "

"Then I've been busy all this time?"

Connor on the side also said indignantly, after all, if you want to say who is the most tired here, it must be Connor. Since accepting Ke Wen's proposal to compete for the new Superman, basically everyone follows the standard of how Superman made his debut and how to be kind to others. Help Connor.Compared with the old universe, Connor in the new universe is more low-key and prefers to live as an ordinary person. Except for big events, he spends his normal time with his girlfriend, repairs cars, and makes money. Life was broken because of Ke Wen's order.

"There's nothing we can do about it. No matter what we do, we won't take the lives of innocent people as bargaining chips. They will. So this time, Apocalypse will definitely do something, and the wisdom is more ruthless than last time. According to the previous comparison Judging from the situation, they will send out Doomsday clones this time, which have differentiated daughters and can collect intelligence. They are not strong, but they are better in number, and they are stronger than demons in terms of combat effectiveness and destruction.

The troublesome point is that no matter we win or lose, Apocalypse is making money. If we win, it’s nothing more than mechanical superman tearing his face. When the next attack comes, what we have to face is a doomsday that is full-level and even immune to attacks from most of us. What should we do at that time, let Clark become Superman again, or let little Jonathan go? "

Ke Wen was also helpless about Connor's displeasure, because this trick was no longer a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.Even if Apocalypse does not intervene in the international free trade island, this is what Clark will do next, because as he said, he wants the earth to enter a new era.But Apocalypse knows, and also has a doomsday that can divide the sub-body, then it is impossible for them not to take action, and it is impossible for Ke Wen and the others not to accept the move, a dead end.

Thinking of this, everyone is silent, because there is no way to break the situation, even if the mechanical superman is smashed now, it will not change the situation.In other words, the appearance of Mechanical Superman was an abandoned child from the very beginning, and its only use was to attract Ke Wen's attention. In addition, there is also a Nightmare Batman watching in secret. The opening ceremony next month, Not easy to deal with.

"Okay, don't be frowning. Since Calder is here, he just wants to discuss the security work with us at that time. Let's discuss this. As for Apocalypse and Mechanical Superman, it depends on how they operate. For now Said, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it."

With a sigh, Ke Wen can be regarded as setting the rules for this matter. As for what kind of changes will happen at that time, he can only discuss with everyone here whether he can sort out a plan B.

And on Apocalypse, Darkseid also came to the mothership of the Dakosam fleet, which was captured by the Doomsday and used as a hotbed, and summoned the King and Queen of Dakosam who had become prisoners.

"I express my highest respect and obedience to you, the great dark lord, Lord Darkseid."

In the mothership that has not been completely eroded by the doomsday mother body, the surviving Dakosam royal family, as well as all the Kryptonian offspring babies in the last genetic breeding room left by Krypton are all preserved here, including those Kryptonian children. criminal.And Darkseid also showed a confident smile when he looked at the trophies he had captured.
