Chapter 302 Luther’s Plan
Chapter 302 Luther’s Plan
As Superman continues to perform heroic acts and do good deeds, the discussion about Superman has become more intense on the Internet and in the media.
A certain TV station launched a special discussion report on Superman-related issues.
"As one of the races in this world, we have been looking for a savior. 90% of people believe in gods."
"No matter which religion you belong to, you will believe in the image of a certain savior. When a person with this savior identity appears on the earth, will we require him to abide by our rules?"
Because Superman often saves those in danger, especially refugees from natural disasters.
I don’t know how many people worship Superman, and even established a special religion for Superman, so they believe in Superman and transform him into a god like God.
"We have to understand that this is a paradigm shift and we have to think about something deeper than politics."
"Do moral laws impose any moral constraints on this person?"
"I have international law, any behavior this person does on earth is a political behavior."
“Isn’t it strange that the most powerful person in the world is also the most controversial person?”
"Letting a certain person interfere in the affairs of other countries at will based on his own preferences is worthy of our deep thought."
"Human beings have long been notorious for blindly worshiping hegemony in the history. If we continue to persist in this, it will definitely lead to greater atrocities."
"We have been creating idols according to our own wishes. What we do is impose subjective feelings and desires on others."
"In fact, he may be neither a devil nor a god. Maybe he is just a person who wants to make the right choice."
"The person we are talking about has challenged people's understanding of priorities in this universe because of his existence."
"Just like Copernicus before, he placed the sun at the center of the known universe to replace the earth."
"Or by consulting Darwin's theory of evolution, we can learn that humans are not a special species on earth, but just one of many life forms."
"Now we realize that we are not even special in the universe because there is Superman, he is out there, the only alien among us."
From his home, Clark watched the discussion about him on television.
During this period, official Senator Finch was interviewed and discussed.
"As a senator, it's really easy for me to tell grieving parents who have lost their children that Superman could save your child, but in principle, we don't want him to carry out the rescue operation."
The congressman paused and explained: "It's not that he shouldn't act, but that he shouldn't act unilaterally."
"What are we talking about here? Should Superman exist?"
"In fact, he already exists!"
Watching these people's discussions about him, they are always wary of him, wary of him, and slander him.
Clark felt more upset than ever.
His adoptive parents raised him and hoped that he would use his superpowers to help mankind.
As a result, these humans only wanted to control him and make him a tool in their hands.
Clark has a super brain, and he can figure out many things just by thinking about them.
With a long sigh, Clark fell into thought.
………………
the other side.
Lex Luthor carries out his plan.
He found the innocent people who were affected and injured by the battle between Superman and Zod, and asked them to criticize Superman in the media.
He even wants to confront Superman face to face at the upcoming Senate meeting.
Councilor Finch was forced to agree to this plan.
…………
the other side.
Batman Wayne checks in his home to see the information he stole from Lex Luthor.
After investigation, he did not find any criminal evidence related to Luther. Instead, he found kryptonite that can restrain Kryptonians.
This discovery surprised and delighted Wayne.
He has long wanted to prepare a weapon against Superman.
But because Superman is too powerful, many of his weapons are useless.
Kryptonite is a special mineral that is specifically targeted at Kryptonians and can make them weak and no different from ordinary people. Wayne needs it very much.
Kryptonite was discovered in the Pacific Ocean a few months ago and was sent to the Luther Group.
After some thought, Wayne decided to get some kryptonite from Luther's group.
Afterwards, Wayne told his butler Alfred about his thoughts and plans.
Alfred disagreed with Wayne's plan because Superman was not their enemy.
And Luther cannot be allowed to use the kryptonite to do bad things, they should destroy the kryptonite.
However, Wayne insisted on using kryptonite to create weapons to prevent Superman.
In this regard, Alfred could not change Wayne's mind and could only let it go.
After Wayne investigated the location of the kryptonite, a few nights later, while the Lex Group was transporting kryptonite, he launched a sneak attack on the Lex Group's transportation terminal.
And Luther also sent his private armed mercenaries to protect the kryptonite.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce.
Fortunately, Wayne's firepower was stronger. He drove the Bat Battlefield and suppressed an armed squad by himself.
Just when Wayne was about to succeed, Clark appeared.
Because of Clark's sudden appearance, Wayne subconsciously turned the steering wheel, hit a house, and stopped.
The truck containing the kryptonite left because of this opportunity.
Clark didn't know the situation, so he flew to the Batmobile, and with a little force with his hands, he tore off the cover of the Batmobile, exposing Wayne.
Upon seeing this, Wayne stood up with a stern expression and looked at Superman.
Clark looked at Batman and warned:
"Next time your sign appears in the air, don't respond."
"Batman is dead and gone forever. Just think of it as pity for you."
After saying that, Clark turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Batman was not happy.
"Tell me, will you bleed?"
Superman looked back at Batman in surprise, then flew away without looking back.
In his opinion, there is no need to answer this question at all.
Seeing Clark so arrogant and arrogant, Batman's face darkened.
"You will definitely pay the price!"
Batman then drove his tank back to the Batcave to find the Kryptonite.
Although he lost the Kryptonite, he put a tracker on the box where the Kryptonite was placed.
Wayne has already made a plan to seize kryptonite again without success.
By tracking the tracker, he knew that the kryptonite was transported to the Lex Group's research laboratory.
Over here in the research room.
Luther was a little surprised to see the kryptonite being transported back.
Originally, he set a trap for Wayne and planned to give the kryptonite to Batman.
But Batman actually missed, making him feel like his plan was wrong.
But he knew Batman wouldn't give up, so he put the kryptonite in the research room.
Waiting for Batman to steal the kryptonite again.
…………
the next day.
Congressman Finch held a press conference and called Superman.
“How do we define good and bad?”
"In a democratic world, the good thing is dialogue, not unilateral decisions. So I urge Superman to come to Congress tomorrow."
"The public needs to know what happened that day in the desert and needs to know where he stands."
<divclass="contentadv">"How does he want to use his superpowers? Are his actions due to our wishes or his own?"
Superman saw this report on TV and felt heavy.
Just at this time, the Kents called him and asked him to go back.
So Clark returned to Kent Farm.
Seeing Clark come back, Martha immediately stepped forward to hold his hand and comfort him.
They also saw some of the things that happened recently on TV.
She was worried about Clark, knowing he was under a lot of pressure.
"Clark, don't feel bad, people hate and are afraid of things they don't understand, but when they see what you do, they will understand you."
"You are not a killer or a threat. I never wanted the world to have you."
Martha looked at Clark distressedly.
As a mother, he just wants his children to live a happy life, instead of going out to do heroic things, fight against criminals, and face rumors from the outside world.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
Clark saw Martha's worried look and turned to comfort her.
He didn't want Martha to worry too much about him.
Next to him, Kent said equally earnestly:
"Clark, be a hero to humanity, or a role model, or their guardian angel, do whatever they want you to do, or do nothing at all."
“You don’t owe the world anything, you don’t owe anyone anything.”
"My education was wrong, which made you bear the blame of so many people."
As he said this, Kent's face was filled with annoyance.
He taught Clark to use his superpowers to do good things, and now Clark is slandered and hated by countless people.
"Dad, there is no such thing as what you once taught me. I will become Superman. It is my own choice."
"As long as you are here and supporting me, I will have nothing to fear."
Clark said with a smile.
Hearing what Clark said, Kent still blamed himself, but he didn't dwell on it anymore.
Now that something has happened, what matters is how to solve it.
…………
the next day.
Hearings were held at the Capitol.
The whole process was broadcast live, and all TV stations in the country could see the report.
The crowd basically didn't care about the dialogues of some small characters, and they were all waiting for the appearance of Superman.
Because Superman did not respond, everyone did not know whether Superman would come to the meeting.
Just when everyone was watching, Superman appeared.
He flew across the sky and came to the top of the Capitol Building.
As soon as Superman appeared, the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax.
"It's him! Superman appears!"
"He actually came to the Capitol!"
"This is truly a historic moment!"
"We expect Superman to give some responses to the senators, and of course to the people and the whole world!"
The reporters at the scene were in high spirits!
The people in front of the TV were also staring at the TV screen.
Wayne is watching TV in his corporate building.
The Kents, on the other hand, were in a pub.
Lois Lane is outside the Capitol.
Luo Ming is at home.
…………
Superman landed in front of the building, ignored the people outside the cordon, walked into the building, passed through the door and corridor, and entered the conference room in the building.
Because there is no live broadcast inside, you have to wait until the meeting is over to know what is going on inside.
So everyone could only watch Clark go in.
Clark entered and saw many people waiting for him. Clark walked to the center and gave him the position prepared.
When the others saw this, they immediately sat down in their seats and became quiet.
Directly in front of Clark were Finch and other members of the Crown.
Representative Finch, who was sitting in the middle, saw that Clark was silent and took the initiative to start a debate.
"Let me start by thanking our witnesses for going out of their way to be in front of us."
"A democratic system is one where people can talk to each other peacefully and on an equal footing."
"Our actions are voluntary and subject to everyone's consent."
"I've sat here before and listened to so-called mediation under the table."
"Our committee will never tolerate any lies, because today is the day of truth!"
"Only by speaking out and working together can we..."
As he spoke, Representative Finch suddenly felt something was wrong.
While scanning the scene, she discovered that Luther had not arrived at the scene.
You know, Luthor has always said that he wants to target Superman.
Now at this meeting to negotiate with Superman, or even to approve it, Luthor didn't even come.
This is very wrong!
Although Luther's men came, he himself did not come!
Superman also noticed something strange about the congressman.
Following his gaze, Superman looked at the exclusive seat prepared for Luthor.
At this moment, Clark's expression changed drastically because he heard the sound of an explosion!
"Boom!!!"
The next second, starting from Luther's position, a big explosion occurred.
The bomb exploded, affecting the entire conference room.
The conference room burst into flames, engulfing everyone in it.
"Ahhh!!!"
The ordinary people in the conference room only had time to scream, and then they were killed directly!
People outside the building and outside the TV.
I only saw that a moment after Superman entered, a big explosion suddenly occurred.
The first floor of the building was severely damaged.
Then came the flames and smoke.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden explosion.
When they came back to their senses, they all looked at the center of the explosion in shock.
Don't know what's going on?
In the room, Clark, who was surrounded by flames but unharmed, looked ugly and in pain.
Because after he entered the conference room, he turned off his superpowers and did not notice the explosion.
Therefore, Clark did not react and saved these people at the scene. Clark was in pain, blamed himself, and felt guilty!
At the same time, he also thought that someone was targeting him and setting a trap for him in this explosion.
After some thought, Clark decided that he could no longer stay here, otherwise there would be endless trouble and misunderstandings.
So he could only leave secretly.
