Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 387 The First Cause of World Destruction - The Red Dragon's Coming
“When faced with stagnation, you must approach it. Anything can be solved by facing it, regardless of whether the result is perfect or not.”

Superman remembered what Gogmora said. The Emperor believed that the problems everyone faces in life will always come in different forms. Once they have the mentality of escaping and delaying, they will embark on the cycle of fate.

"Perhaps Bruce's idea is wrong. It is a false proposition that ordinary people can solve all human problems, because people will change!"

Superman thought so in his heart, then turned to look at Diana and asked: "Mage, where is he now?"

"He's in the middle of a radioactive wasteland in Kansas, seemingly atonement for his past mistakes!"

Diana said softly.

Mag, the leader of the new generation of heroes, is an old acquaintance of Superman. To some extent, Mag can even be regarded as the reason why Superman left the world for more than ten years.

More than ten years ago, Weican Biopharmaceutical Group announced that it had developed a biological agent with excellent efficacy that would greatly enhance the human body's functions and also possess good healing factors.

When this medicine was first introduced, it was not believed by the public.

Weican Biopharmaceutical Group is trying to achieve better sales for its medicines and open up a larger market.

Therefore, they joined forces with Lex Group and several other major biopharmaceutical giants to reverse-engineer the biopharmaceutical and developed a virus that can be transmitted through media such as air, droplets, and liquids.

The virus was initially released to countries outside the United States by pharmaceutical groups that abandoned all humanity for the sake of profit, causing chaos in many countries.

When the outbreak was at its most severe, thousands of people died from the virus every day, especially the elderly with weakened immune systems.

However, as the behind-the-scenes controllers of the biopharmaceutical groups were blinded by the interests behind this, these masterminds finally frantically released the virus in their base in the United States, causing countless people in the United States to die from the virus through various channels such as water and air.

During the most rampant period, crematoriums and hospital morgues were filled with countless bodies of innocent people, a level of horror that even the superheroes of the Justice League found horrifying.

The Justice League conducted multiple inquiries and took advantage of the Flash's elusiveness to uncover the truth behind the scenes.

But the situation behind the scenes is much darker than what they see on the surface.

Those biopharmaceutical groups have long used this method to form a huge industrial chain that covers almost the entire world, involving countless people, including senior officials of the US government. Even the president sitting in the White House is well aware of this.

In order to experiment with their own drugs, those biopharmaceutical groups need to consume the bodies of countless homeless and missing persons every day.

The Flash even found tens of thousands of bodies in warehouses at smuggling ports in the United States and in freezers at some airports.

These corpses are all experimental subjects of those pharmaceutical groups, and are part of the upstream and downstream industrial chain.

The hearts and lungs of many corpses were removed and became products for major pharmaceutical companies.

The vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of people who disappear silently every year in the world face this fate.

The Flash even followed this clue and found evidence of collusion between those high-ranking officials and capital tycoons.

In order to collude with senior government officials, those capital tycoons set up secret bases to keep young children and beautiful women in captivity to please them. Every year, a large number of young children and women suffer as a result.

They are either deceived or oppressed to provide sexual services to the super-rich and rulers.

There are also some biopharmaceutical companies that kill large numbers of teenagers just to extract the fresh body components of these thriving lives, such as adrenochrome, or extract the embryos of young girls to achieve the purpose of genetic immortality.

The heroes in the Justice League were outraged, but as a supranational and non-governmental organization, the League did not have the power to directly enforce the law against ordinary people.

In particular, the involvement behind these events is so terrifying that it can almost implicate half of the American capital tycoons and government officials.

This led to the first major split in the Justice League, which came from Superman and Batman, two of the three giants in the Justice League.

Superman believes that the current state of the Justice League should be broken, and that the power of law enforcement should be taken into account to arrest the masterminds behind the crimes and expose the crimes of those criminals to the public.

But Batman believes that this matter involves too many things and should be handled with caution, and that the Justice League should not break the current state of an anarchic organization.

That would cause the Justice League to gradually change into another ruler in form and name, and no one would be able to restrain the superheroes of the Justice League.

But Princess Diana of Paradise Island, who also has a high status, and The Flash both support Superman's decision. Only Oliver the Green Arrow, who is also a super-rich man, and Batman's old friends Cord the Blue Beetle and Dinah the Canary support Batman's decision.

Conflicts began to break out within the Justice League, with some voices on Superman's side accusing Batman's own identity as a superhero of influencing the staunch Dark Knight.

But the Joker invaded Metropolis when a dispute broke out in the Justice League, using the super virus developed by those biopharmaceutical groups to kill people in Metropolis.

Thousands of people died at the hands of the Joker, including Superman's lover Lois, who also died tragically in this massacre.

On the day the police arrested the Joker, the enraged Mag killed the ugly pest in front of everyone.

Superman was in grief and went through inner struggles and conflicts. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to personally capture Mag, who killed the Joker.

But the boiling public opinion and surging public sentiment had burned out rationality, and the prosecutor finally declared Mag not guilty on the grounds of upholding justice.

Polls also almost overwhelmingly support Mager, the new-school hero.

The Son of God, who fought for procedural justice and true legal justice, was abandoned by the world in public opinion, so he finally decided to leave the world alone.

The Justice League was thus disbanded, thus revealing the beginning of more than ten years of superhuman rule over the world.

Hearing the news about Mag, even Superman couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

Superman touched the giant dragon skull emblem hanging on the front of his suit, which was a fragment of the beast's body.

Although Superman cannot yet make up his mind to target the mind of Emperor Gogmora, he still maintains his connection with the Beast.

"Tell me, if Emperor Gogmora faced this situation, what would he do, Beast?"

Superman asked in his mind.

However, the beast did not directly answer Superman's question.

"Karl, Emperor Gogmora's body is naturally filled with a terrifying desire for destruction, but that is not the source of desire brought by the dragon's blood."

The beast said softly, "That was the true desire for destruction that came from Emperor Gogmora after he saw through human nature. Humans are not born good or evil, but because of the biological instinct of selfishness, they can be said to be inclined toward evil."

"So all living things in the world are influenced by each other, and only selfish evil can better survive in the world."

"But there will always be many people who continue to encourage the evil of themselves and others as time goes by. Many innocent people are led to do evil by such people."

The beast laughed and said, "Emperor Gogmora also lives in the mortal world, so it is natural that he will be affected. Therefore, the emperor once had the idea of destroying all living beings in his heart. Especially in that world, the emperor's race was more obvious."

"That is disappointment in human nature, just like the legendary Supreme God who destroyed the world because of his disappointment in human nature. The emperor and the Supreme God have the same idea in this regard. Human nature is the primary cause of the destruction of the world." "Those high and mighty gods may decide to destroy the world because of their momentary disgust, but fortunately, although the emperor gradually possesses such power, his divinity is always neutralized by his own humanity."

"The Emperor said that all beings without change and guidance are ignorant and untrustworthy, so he is now fulfilling this goal, both for his race and for his people."

"Only those who truly follow him can be regarded in this way by him!"

Superman nodded, "I see. I've just been stuck in my adoptive father's teachings for so long that it's hard to make up my mind."

"Come on, Diana, I need to meet Mag before I can really decide on my future choices,"

Superman looked at Diana and said so.

There are now far more metahumans rebelling against the Justice League than those willing to obey the League, and they can't remain stuck in such a predicament.

So the Iron-Blooded Princess once suggested that the Justice League should build a real prison to severely suppress and restrain those superhumans who dared to resist.

The former superman would be horrified by the idea, feeling that this was a line that could not be crossed.

The iron-blooded princess said that the alliance is not preaching now, but is waging a war to protect the human race.

Today's Superman has begun to agree with this view.

Superman and Diana looked into each other's eyes and confirmed their feelings for each other.

Red Arrow and Donna came in and showed Superman and Diana exactly where Mag was.

……

At this time, Mag was helping those who had been forced to return home to repair the barns in the Kansas wilderness. The huge wooden boards of the barn were nailed together and carried by the leader of this new era with one hand.

But the hot-tempered Mager did not have the concentration of those farmers, especially as he was mentally tortured and could not perfectly control his strength. The barn on his shoulders was crushed by Mager's powerful hands before it reached its destination.

"Damn it, damn it,"

With a look of resentment on his face, Mag stood in front of the broken barn and howled like an abandoned lone wolf.

When Superman, Diana and others arrived here, they saw Mag, who was full of resentment.

"Mag, come with us, you should be punished for the mistakes you made,"

Superman and his companions landed in front of the unshaven man, their serious gazes carrying a strong pressure.

Mag was so angry about his former leader's departure and regretted his own actions that he walked alone in the wilderness after the disaster.

Even if he just rebuilt a warehouse or a granary, it would be able to slightly alleviate the guilt in his heart.

But the karma always follows him like a shadow, which cannot be escaped or resolved. In a mixture of anger and regret, Mag roared, gathered all the strength in his body, and launched a full-strength attack at the Son of God who had reappeared in the world.

Ouch!
Under the surprised gazes of his companions, Superman endured the full-strength attack of the new faction leader as if he felt nothing. His iron bones only shook slightly, and even the corners of his clothes were not dirty.

"Damn it, damn it,"

Mag howled like a trapped animal. His tall and strong body collapsed to his knees and howled, "Now you know you've appeared? Where did you go in the first place?"

"If you hadn't left, none of this would have happened!"

"If the Son of God still forgives the world, then you could have saved those innocent believers from disaster long ago."

Mager's eyes were like those of a wounded beast. He stared at Superman fiercely and roared loudly, "It was the world that chose bloodthirsty people instead of kind-hearted people, so their death is the consequence they need to bear."

"It's not my fault, it's not just my fault!"

Mag howled crazily, "Hahaha, come on, come on, kill me, kill me to calm those howling souls. I won't try to escape or resist. I am tortured day and night by the howling of those unjustly dead souls. Come on, kill me and set me free!"

Diana, Flash, Hawkman and other heroes fell silent.

If people choose bloodthirsty people, they will risk death without a burial. Mag escaped the court's trial, but could not escape the destined punishment from heaven.

Superman was silent for a long time, and finally at this moment he completely understood what Emperor Gogmora once said.

"They are so ignorant that they don't know which side they help will win. They only think about helping the winning side, so most sentient beings are ignorant."

"The world does not need preachers who spread the faith of justice, but a war to overthrow the order."

Superman raised his head and looked at his companions beside him, his tone containing unprecedented determination.

"Have you made up your mind, Kal-El? The emperor likes to make others willing, he doesn't like to be shaken!"

At this moment, the beast's voice sounded for the first time.

"Of course, that's as it should be,"

Superman's will at this moment is stronger than ever. He opens his arms as if embracing the whole world, and the cloak behind him rises up without wind, like a strong gale.

A vague shadow slowly appeared behind Superman. It was a huge shadow with wings spread out to the sky. The big red dragon with seven heads and ten horns had divine indifference in its pupils as it looked down at everything in front of it.

"Clark, your thoughts are too dangerous, you need to stop thinking like this immediately,"

A deep voice came from under the bat mask, and Batman jumped out of the Batplane in the air, followed closely by Green Arrow and Blue Beetle Cord.

"Stop him, Bruce Wayne!"

The angel's voice sounded, "You are special, but he is also special. Once his heart is used as a benchmark, the red dragon will be able to obtain an unprecedented clear goal and will return to this world earlier than me."

"You don't want to face that red dragon, because you will be facing the true pinnacle and invincibility of an era in the mortal world."

At this moment, the angel's voice rang in Batman's ears with an unprecedented urgency, and the mechanical head hanging on Batman's waist emitted a flickering light.

"In front of that red dragon, there are only stronger or weaker ones. There is no such thing as being on the same level. There are no gods in the mortal world, only the emperor who has mastered all laws."

The voice became sharp at this moment, the same voice as that of the God-born Warrior Winona Corea.

'Stop Him'
