Chapter 185 Lord's World
Wanting to find out what was happening in the world, Connors didn't clumsily go out on the street to ask people.
He flew into space and found the "Lord of Justice" watchtower in near-Earth orbit, then used "Master of Lockpicking" to enter.
Then, with the help of the "Master Driver," Connors mastered all the ways to use the watchtower without alerting anyone.
Inside the watchtower of "The Lord of Justice," the largest hall has hundreds of screens hanging on the walls, each displaying a region of the Earth.
With the help of his "Master Pilot" ability, Connors knew that these screens were the "Lord of Justice's" surveillance of Earth.
Each monitor corresponds to a region on Earth. Hundreds of robots are busy in the hall, and alarms sound from time to time, only to disappear quickly.
"Area 7 is normal."
"An alarm has been triggered in area 21."
"The police have been dispatched to area 21, and the alarm has been cleared."
"Area 4 is normal."
The robots handled everything expressionlessly. Connors looked at screen number twenty-one and saw a demonstration at a school.
But almost as soon as the students formed a group to parade through the streets, police cars with blaring horns immediately surrounded them, responding with incredible speed.
Under the threat of riot shields and forks, smoke grenades, and guns, the students were immediately suppressed and driven away.
The leading students were handcuffed by the police officers in the police cars and taken away on the spot.
The entire process, from the moment the marching students took out their signs and held them up to the moment the police cars left, took less than five minutes.
Without continuing to review reports from other areas in the hall, Connors quickly entered a room in the watchtower. He wanted to research the information to understand the changes taking place in the world.
As his fingers clattered across the keyboard, Connors was shocked to discover that the "Lord of Justice" information didn't exist on the internet at all; it seemed to have been deliberately deleted.
However, the respective headquarters of Batman's Wayne Manor and Wonder Woman's Paradise Island were not hidden any longer, but were openly published on the Internet.
This world seems to be under the tyrannical rule of the "Lord of Justice," so there is no need to deliberately conceal information from each other.
The uniforms they wore lost their function of concealing their identities and were worn only as battle armor and their respective signature garments.
"No wonder Batman's Batcave was transformed into that horrible thing. Batcave turned into a prison. How could Lord Batman have come up with such a thing?"
Connors grumbled, but a swipe of his finger revealed new content on the screen that left him speechless.
That's old news about "Lord Superman":
Lex Luthor used his vast business empire to divide the nation and launch a campaign against the World Congress.
The war.
During this war, Lex Luthor used some means to blackmail Aquaman and then took the opportunity to kill him after the war ended.
During this time, "The Flash" was killed by Lex Luthor, the World Congress became defunct, and Lex Luthor became president.
The murderous intent towards Lex Luthor, the anger over the Flash's death, and the disappointment that the legal order had chosen such a president.
The three leaders stormed the presidential palace.
The news was followed by a video showing Lex Luthor, who remained calm in the face of Superman's first intrusion into the presidential palace, instead placing his hand on the nuclear launch button.
"I now have more than ten ways to stop you, Mr. President," Superman said in the video, still wearing his classic color suit.
"But they are all deadly forces, aren't they? And you won't do that," President Luther said confidently.
Lex Luthor sat in a chair, one hand pressing the nuclear button, the other outstretched, and spoke eloquently:
"Without evil, there's no need for heroes, and you really enjoy being a hero, don't you?"
"You need me. Cheerful children, ecstatic women, you love all of this, and all of this makes you my most reliable accomplice."
"Your so-called 'no-kill principle' is nothing more than treating everyone as your toys, repeatedly capturing and imprisoning criminals, and then letting them escape to continue committing crimes—"
"No matter how serious their crimes, you always find ways to keep them alive."
"Because of you, your Justice League knows that you need these criminals to make you who you are."
"Then come on, put me in court, put me in jail, and I'll be able to escape soon and continue with my plans."
In the video, Superman, wearing a blue suit and a red cape, gradually loses his expression as Lex Luthor speaks.
Soon his voice was as deep as Batman's:
"I do enjoy being a hero, but if it still leads to the outcome you described, then I will not continue like this."
A crimson light flashed in Superman's eyes, his heat vision shooting straight at Lex Luthor.
He had more than ten ways to stop Luther, but he chose the most direct and effective method, which also crossed his own bottom line: kill Luther.
When Wonder Woman and Batman arrived, a step behind, Superman was standing by the window of the president's room, looking out with a shocked expression. Batman walked over:
"How are you?"
He thought Superman would look melancholy at this moment, and that this was just a slip-up on his part.
But Superman turned around and looked at Batman with a smile:
"I'm great."
The video abruptly ended. Judging from the title of the video, the reason it was still preserved on the Internet was because "Lord of Justice" was reflecting on himself.
They want to distance themselves from the former "Justice League".
Superman's actions were admired by other members of the "Lords of Justice," who then established a dictatorship around the world through hegemony.
The number of prisons in the world is increasing exponentially, and anyone who speaks rudely or uses violence is imprisoned.
Connors even saw in prison records that some people were imprisoned simply for criticizing the food they ate at a restaurant online afterward.
Under this extreme rule, Earth III became a "peaceful world" in the literal sense.
The "Lords of Justice" have their watchtowers high in the sky, and they monitor and control the entire world. If any unusual activity occurs anywhere, the police will arrive at the scene immediately.
No reason is needed, no court trial is required; any action related to the "conflict" will land both parties in jail.
"It's a bit like the Injustice League," Connors commented on the actions of the "Justice Lords."
This isn't referring to the "Injustice League" that fights the crime syndicate, but rather the Injustice League formed by "Injustice Superman".
But unlike "Injustice Superman," who is almost always in a rage, "Lord Superman" and the other Lords of Justice remain calm at all times.
They calmly and rationally concluded that everything they had done was perfectly fine.
Connors continued his search and quickly discovered that the network was divided into two parts, one of which was for the exclusive use of the "Lord of Justice."
Unrestricted network.
The other part is a restricted network used by ordinary people on Earth-3, where all keywords, statements, and videos related to "crime" cannot be found.
"What was Batman doing after the Superman dictatorship incident?" Connors asked, puzzled. He changed his search terms to Batman.
According to the search results, "Batman the Lord" took the initiative to find "Mr. Fantastic" Reed and together they created a teleportation device that could connect the two worlds.
Then everything he knew happened. Reed, the "Mr. Fantastic," used his methods to lure the Justice League from Earth Zero, including himself, to their side and wipe them all out.
