Chapter 220 Familiar Stranger (Please read, subscribe, comment on the monthly ticket)
After Martin discussed with Batman, he immediately informed Diana, Arthur Barry and the other three.

Diana and Arthur, a princess and a prince, have been trained as future rulers since childhood. They realized that this was a good opportunity to establish themselves in front of the whole world, so they quickly agreed to Martin and Batman's plan.

Both of them assured Martin that they would not act on their own in this matter.

But things became troublesome for Barry, as the remaining members of the Star Lab in Central City did not agree with him getting involved in such political activities.

Dr. Harrison, disguised as Reverse Flash, said righteously: "As superheroes, what you can and should do is to spare no effort to help those victims who are in danger. How can you get involved in dirty politics?"

Martin didn't even think of refuting this extremely stupid neoliberal speech. Anyone who enters social production and still believes in such words is either a fool with illusions or a bad guy with ulterior motives.

Martin didn't have any great words to say to Team Flash. He, Bruce, Diana, and Arthur were all on the same side, and they would listen to each other's words, but they were only in a cooperative relationship with Team Flash, so talking to them would only lead to a meaningless argument.

So he simply said: "You people in the laboratory don't have to participate, but Barry can't. After resolving the Kryptonian crisis, when Superman made a public declaration to the world, Barry had already appeared as the Flash."

"In the eyes of others, the Flash is already a member of the Justice League. I can agree with Barry's withdrawal from the league, but others won't think so. If someone causes trouble for you, we can only follow normal procedures to protect you."

"Is this a threat?"

Dr. Harrison showed an indignant expression, and Drs. Caitlin and Cisco also showed doubtful expressions.

Martin shook his head slightly: "You guys are not worth me crossing the bottom line and using threats."

"Barry, you were standing next to Superman when he gave his speech to the world, and now everyone knows you are on our side.

Unless you are willing to reveal your identity to the public and hand yourself over to the government, those people will never let you stand on the neutral side just because you publish a notice to sever ties with them.”

He was desperate about the combination of "one bad guy and two idiots" in the Central City laboratory, but did not want Barry to come to any harm.

"If you really can't make a decision, don't say anything."

Martin's biggest worry is that Barry has been tricked into making a public statement. Any deviation from his position will be made into a big deal, and the Justice League will not be able to provide him with public protection.

The optimistic Barry didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. He patted his chest and said, "Martin, don't worry! We are all friends. I will never abandon you."

This answer really did not satisfy Martin. It meant that Barry treated this as a club friendship, and if someone more important tried to attract him with family or friendship, he would probably fall for it without realizing it.

Even so, he did not mention it again. He just took a deep look at Dr. Harrison, who was suppressing his pride in his heart, and cut off the communication.

After hanging up the call with Barry, Martin immediately called Arthur and asked him to find a way to trick Barry away from Central City.

"Don't let him show his face in public until the matter is resolved."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Arthur agreed immediately. After all, who doesn't like the cute and sunny Barry? He also didn't want the child to be deceived.

Damn Reverse Flash!
Martin clenched his fists and cursed the speedster who fanned the flames in his heart. Caitlin and Cisco were just naive. If it weren't for the Reverse-Flash fanning the flames, those two would have been convinced by him long ago.

Now that the alliance has been formed, we can't keep the troublesome Reverse Flash. This guy is too good at stirring up trouble, and who knows when he will do something big.

Martin couldn't keep staring at that guy. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it!
But the Reverse Flash matter can be discussed later, let’s deal with Kandak’s issue first.

Superman was suspended in the air, his red cape floating slowly behind him. He clasped his hands across his chest, his eyes fixed on the outside of the neutral zone, paying attention to any unusual movements.

Whenever a tank approached, he would shoot out thermal vision to destroy the heavy weapons, and before the explosion, he would rescue the people inside, tie them up and throw them out.

Every time he did this, the people in the neutral zone would cheer, clap their hands and shout Superman's name, feeling like a large-scale star-chasing party.

But when Superman heard the cheers approaching him, he felt as if there were millions of needles pricking his butt, and he couldn't stand the feeling.

But he was unwilling to abandon these helpless people, so he had to endure the discomfort, fly into the sky to keep some distance, and pretend to remain calm.

"How cool! You're worthy of being a superman!"

"In fact, I've been a fan of Superman for a long time. If you don't believe me, just look!"

"Superman, I love you. I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

Most people in the neutral zone were still quiet. Those experienced middle-aged men knew that once the unrest began, Superman would not be able to guarantee his own safety because he would not stay in Kandak forever.

Those who were shouting loudly were the young people who had not experienced any difficulties. They could not see the past or the future, and all they had in their eyes was the Superman in the sky, so they were shouting loudly.

"Martin, what should we do next?"

Superman's eyes saw an American ship sailing on the sea, carrying nearly a hundred American soldiers.

Although the number is not large, they symbolize a certain order represented by the United States, and the people of Kandak will not take action against them.

Superman puts himself in the role of mediator and cannot take action against these soldiers, otherwise it will trigger a direct confrontation between the Justice League and the United States.

"You did a good job. Now the unrest in the capital of Kandak has almost stopped!"

Martin did not enter Kandak, he still communicated with Superman remotely.

"Don't praise me. The city is still so chaotic. I haven't done anything."

"You can't say that. The conflict in Kandak did not just start today, and the forces fighting on the streets did not just emerge today. At least you have successfully set up a neutral zone here, so that they dare not start a war casually again."

Although Martin did not enter the city, he was able to grasp what was happening in the city through the falcons.

After Superman took action, the fierce gunfire in the city was instantly suppressed. Although sporadic gunfire was still heard from time to time, they were just private conflicts.

Superman couldn't really regard this as a credit. He couldn't wait to ask, "What should I do now? The gunfight has stopped now, but when the US ships land, the battle will start again."

"So, you should return the control of the neutral zone to the government of Kandak and put forward some appropriate conditions at the right time!"

Martin instructed Superman in an orderly manner, telling him what to do next. Superman looked at the military officers pretending to be dead and couldn't help but frowned: "I don't think these people can play any role?"

"It is impossible to expect these guys to take any responsibility. But in order to keep their power, they are willing to do some small things without any risk."

Martin knows these people too well. They want all the benefits and won't take any responsibility at all.

It is impossible for these people to step forward and refuse the landing of US warships. But they still have the courage to do something from the side, and it is very big.

"There are only a few reasons why the army can legitimately intervene in Kandak, such as protecting overseas Chinese, protecting legal assets, humanitarian assistance, etc."

Superman listened to Martin listing all the ways to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and began to doubt whether he was an American after all.

How come Martin is more familiar with these methods than me? What level did I reach in my previous journalism work?
"There aren't many American assets in Kandak, so if we want to intervene in the local situation, we can only start with people. So we have to drive all those people out before the ships land to buy time for Batman."

"Isn't this bad? We don't have the right to force them to leave, and it won't be good for our reputation if it gets out."

"You're so stubborn. Expulsion doesn't sound good. Why don't you change the word to something else, like polite departure or protective departure? Can't you make it up?"

Martin criticized Superman not because he couldn't think of it, but because he was unwilling to think of it.

"As for the rights issue, it is not convenient for us to come forward, so let the government make a statement. Those guys have been hiding behind the scenes. If they are unwilling to do even the small things here, then they are hopeless."

Superman felt as if he was getting deeper and deeper into trouble, but he had to do it for the sake of the ordinary people in the neutral zone.

After a moment's silence, he finally turned around and announced to the people in the neutral zone that he would transfer control of the neutral zone to the government.

Although people were somewhat disappointed when they heard the news, there were no large-scale protests.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that Superman must leave, and that returning control of the neutral zone to the government is legal, compliant, and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The only question is, can the government really guarantee the safety of the neutral zone?
Everyone knows what the government of Kandak is like and has no hope for it, but they also don't want to place their hopes on a superman from outside.

After careful consideration, most people finally decided to place their hopes on the locals.

Although the young people shout loudly and say they want to believe in Superman, they are not willing to take any action and therefore do not have any say.

Martin doesn't keep an eye on Superman, even though he'd like to, but while he's planning all this behind the scenes, trouble arises.

On the west side of the mountains, in the desert, where Black Adam was killed, the power of the Ennead of Egypt seeped out from the void.

They came for their contractors, but halfway through they suddenly discovered that the contract that had maintained the order for thousands of years was suddenly gone, and the signposts pointing the way suddenly disappeared.

Although the Egyptian gods were overwhelmed by their power, they did not forget the location of the earth, so they still rushed out of the desert.

But they arrived too late. Black Adam was gone, and the desert was empty, with nothing in it.

But he caught the breath of the nameless pharaoh, just like a cat that was suddenly attacked, all the hair on his body instantly stood up, and he thought of some long-lost memories.

"I smell a traitor!"

The Sun God, sitting high in the Sun Temple, smelled a familiar scent, and the painful memories hidden deep in time suddenly emerged.

As the supreme god among the nine Egyptian gods, he immediately thought of the most humiliating episode in his career as a god.

Ra was covered in light, and almost no one could see his appearance clearly. Even the gods could not see through the light of the sun.

But when the Supreme God recalled the shame of the past, the golden sun fire swept across the entire temple, reminding the gods of the nameless pharaoh. They suddenly became stiff.

"Who's going to kill that ungodly beast?"

Ra had no tolerance for the nameless Pharaoh, and once he sensed his presence, he sent someone to kill that scourge.

The nine Egyptian gods in this world looked at each other, and no one spoke.

They actually knew that the first wave of people sent out were just cannon fodder to test how much strength the nameless pharaoh had left.

And according to that guy's past battle record, even if the opponent only has one tenth of his strength left, he is still not something a god can deal with.

In this age when the gods have been abandoned, none of the main gods are willing to use their remaining assets to explore the way for La.

In the parallel world that Martin visited, the Egyptian gods split because of different ideologies. The conflicts between the Egyptian gods in this world were not small at all, but even more sinister.

"Mahesh the lion, Sekhmet the lioness, Shati the elephant, Sobek the crocodile!"

Seeing that the main gods were unwilling to move, La decisively called out the names of the four guardians of the Sun Golden Ship.

"You are my most loyal warriors, my strongest shield, and my sharpest spear. Now, I order you to kill the disobedient person who disrespects the gods and eliminate him from this world."

"Yes, great Ra! We will definitely complete the mission you have entrusted us with."

The four guardians of this world were not afraid even though the deeds of the nameless pharaoh popped up in their minds.

He bowed to Ra, and with the blessing of the sun, began to try to descend to the earth.

"It's a different world, but still just as arrogant!"

Martin possesses the power of two sun gods. When something went wrong in the desert, he shifted his attention to the desert.

Looking at the familiar figures, he did not take the initiative to attack, nor did he stop them from coming. He just stood on the top of the mountain, waiting for them quietly.

He was originally looking for ways to prevent the ships from landing, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

These Egyptian gods are the best shields!
