American comic book: God among men, Saiyan-Kryptonian hybrid

Chapter 228 Lex's Manifesto! Anti-Heroism!

An uneasy turmoil permeated every inch of the air.

The oppressive, suffocating, desperate, dark, and chilling feeling is like walking on a dangerous knife's edge or falling off a vast snow-capped mountain.

The profound cold was like countless sharp knives cutting through flesh and bone, then falling to the ground from the vast sky.

Luther was immersed in this dangerous aura. Behind him were demons from hell, and before him stood gods looking down upon him. He moved leisurely between the two, enjoying the challenge that transcended the mortal realm. With a heart pounding with death, he opened his arms wide:

"Carrot El, son of Krypton, founder of the Justice League, I actually intended to settle things with you at the martial arts tournament over there."

"But you acted faster than I expected. I didn't expect that you would have formed a force that could be mobilized so quickly."

Carrot glanced at him solemnly. From the perspective of "your position determines your perspective," Lex's approach had some merit. If he were transmigrated into Luthor, he couldn't guarantee that he would have done something humane.

But Lex's mistake was that he was too extreme, so extreme that he disregarded the consequences. "After I die, who cares about the deluge?" "After he dies, who cares about the approaching army?"
"No need to be modest, you're even faster. The Justice League has only been established for a short time, and you've already formed the Anti-Justice League."

Lex completely ignored Carrot's attitude towards him, and just muttered to himself:

“I gave Zod enough opportunities, but he was too weak and too incompetent.”

Lex's gaze flashed with disdain as he turned and gestured for Carrot to look at the corpse on the ground:

"His only use was to bring me a Kryptonian legacy."

"And this thing, an alien artifact from far beyond the stars."

"I looked up the history of these stowaways. It was a monster summoned from an unknown space, whose body could survive even when split in two."

"With 99% cell fusion, the linear space can no longer capture the project's trajectory. We recommend leaving immediately!"

Behind him, the operating machine emitted an intelligent warning, but Lex seemed not to hear it, remaining standing in the same spot and saying:
"So, I combined the two."

"Since people worship you like a god, as God and the decision-maker of the times."

"Then I'll let the devil judge you!"

"I don't hate sinful people, Superman. I hate sin itself, and your existence is sin itself!"

Lex stepped forward, looking directly into Carrot El's eyes, even though he might be killed in the next second, even if he were decapitated in the next second. But when fanatics are bathed in the dance of knives, they often don't care about their own death:

"Simply because you, as a god, are above humankind."

Do you know what I hate the most?

“When my father repeatedly abused me, he would then make me read fairy tales, but in almost all of those stories, the person was saved!”

"God, hero, dragon slayer, warrior, heaven, destiny, or a devil with a conscience—none of these are human beings themselves!"

The more Lex spoke, the redder his face became from suppressed rage. He was personally reopening old wounds from his childhood, revealing the reasons why he hated the Justice League and opposed Carrot's existence. His whole body was trembling.

“We have always been waiting to be saved. All our cultures are asking others to save them, and that is why we are enslaved.”

"If we can only be saved, then humanity doesn't need saving, even if the end result is extinction!!"

Lex pointed angrily at Carrot:
"But you, Carrot El, you appeared! You not only became a god, but you also spread this culture of heroism far and wide. You ushered in the era of superheroes, and you yourself became the hope of everyone!!!"

"Use your super hearing to listen; you should be able to hear it every day!!!"

"Everyone, everyone is caught up in the fervor of being saved by you. Adults, children, the older generation, the younger generation, the whole nation is calling out Superman's name. When disaster strikes, when difficulties arise, everyone is calling for the Justice League and superheroes."

Unlike Batman, who views humanity as a future threat to darkness, Lex Luthor despises superhero culture itself, with Superman being its first representative figure.
"We are enslaved by you because of this. This is your open scheme, because the weak are naturally inclined to attach themselves to the strong!"

"If you were merely competitive, I would never be your enemy. But you make us follow you, believe in you, and spread your culture of heroism—that's something I cannot tolerate." "Don't spout any nonsense about walking side-by-side; you probably don't even believe that yourself, do you?"

Lex rattled off all of this in one breath, as if venting his frustration.

Although he was suspected of stalling for time, Lex, who understood Al's behavior, didn't need to stall in this way at all; he was genuinely accusing Carrot.

Everyone thought he was crazy, and he really was crazy, but he also had his own reasons for being crazy!
"So, God, please tell me, will you die?"

Lex stared into Carrot's eyes and asked, word by word, only to be met with a deep sigh from Carrot El:
"do you know?"

“I understand your thinking, but the reason for all this is not the appearance of a superhero.”

"It is the environment and the times that create heroes. Even without me, human history has never lacked the color of heroism."

"The universe's environment created the world of superheroes, and people's yearning for heroes shaped the unique superhero culture."

"I don't know how to change these things, nor do I know why I should change them."

“Luther, I understand your fear.”

"If I did anything, it was to usher in this era ahead of time."

"But you don't need to worry about this at all."

"Because people's fear and belief in heroes are usually proportional; they believe in heroes, and naturally they also fear them."

"They are not as stupid as you think, which is why they cannot be enslaved, something you cannot see in your arrogance."

"And this is also the only difference between real humans and those in fairy tales: humans can never be saved!"

"Because of them, they will always be arrogant!"

"So, you can die in peace now!"

Ignoring Lex's increasingly wide and surprised eyes, Carrot El slowly turned his gaze behind him.

Luther seemed to have never imagined that Carrot El would understand him, and he had even studied this issue long ago.

Which of us is crazy?

As someone who benefits from this situation, how could you possibly be researching these things?

"Experiment project 100% complete, unable to capture, warning, unable to capture, warning!"

"Roar!!!!!"

The next second, a colossal behemoth, as large as a skyscraper, tore apart the cage that imprisoned him, and the Lex Building, a masterpiece of human technology, collapsed in an instant.

Carrot El ignored Luther, who had fallen into the ruins and was endlessly buried.

Reinforced concrete can never withstand its power, which is beyond our comprehension.

Its skin is like a tree trunk, and its tail is like a scorpion's hook, resembling an enlarged, upright humanoid insect.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Carlot, as if he had seen a mortal enemy, and in an instant, a destructive desire surged forth.

"boom!!"
