The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1016

“Through Dessard’s performance, we can see that this device called the Father Box has the effect of controlling people’s minds.”

The mother box itself also possesses abilities similar to mind control, but he doesn't know if the father box has similar abilities.

After all, the control abilities shown by the Father Box are different from the emotional control and telepathy of the Mother Box in the comics. This is probably the first time Yang Le has seen something that is directly integrated into his body.

The reason for saying "maybe" is that Yang Le doesn't even remember whether he has seen it or not. After all, he has read too many and too varied American comics, so it's impossible for him to remember them all. It would be good if he could remember the general idea.

"The situation was that Dessard threw the Father Box onto the Infinite Man, and then the Father Box turned into a beam of light and merged into the latter's body."

"That's why I asked the three Green Lanterns to use the power of the emotional spectrum to temporarily seal the Father Box."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood why the small box, which resembled a videotape, was covered with three protective shields; that was the reason.

"And according to Dessard, the power of the Father Box is far more than that. He even claimed that the Father Box of Apokolips could rival the Mother Box."

At this point, Yang Le gave a brief overview of the Mother Box, which gave the Justice League members a basic understanding of the two leading planets in the Fourth World.

"We'll have to wait for the five children in Eternity to wake up and tell us how Cyborg and the others are doing, to get more specific information about Apokolips."

Yang Le wasn't so arrogant as to think he knew more about the Fourth World than people who actually lived there. His knowledge came only from comics and animations, and he wasn't a hardcore fan who had read extensively.

"So this is the kind of guy we've been fighting all along." The Flash put his hands behind his head.

"Should I say that ignorance is bliss? Yang Le, you should have said so. After your detailed explanation, I actually started to get a little nervous, though only a tiny bit."

As the Flash spoke, he made a gesture with his thumb and forefinger that wouldn't be broadcast in South Korea, but no one paid attention to his antics. Everyone was focused on their business, and even Hal, who was close to him, didn't respond.

"Yang Le, has Disadard revealed his plans?"

Batman crossed his arms and rested his chin on his thumbs, striking a classic Commander Ikari pose.

“There really is.” Yang Le snapped his fingers.

"After a brief exchange, I discovered that Desard himself was a pervert who enjoyed torturing others. During the fight, he repeatedly explained his evil and twisted ideas to me verbally."

"Whether those words are true or false, it shows that he is a morbidly twisted guy, just like his appearance. Perhaps feeling confident of victory, he also revealed some of his thoughts to me."

“Desad wants to possess the bodies of the Infinite Man and turn them into the fighting force of Apokolips. I even suspect that the theft of the equipment on the New Genesis Star was orchestrated by him in collusion with us Earthlings.”

Yang Le was only talking about his own speculations at this point, but the more he talked, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

"First of all, from the perspective of people in the Fourth World, Earth is a technologically backward planet. Our detection equipment can hardly detect anything from there, so implementing the plan on Earth is very safe." Equipment that can't detect Apokolips and New Genesis? Batman secretly noted this down, deciding to find a way to hide equipment from those two planets and then upgrade the Alliance's equipment.

"Then Earth is very far from the Fourth World. When the Eternals encounter danger here, their only option is to become Infinite Beings. This is essentially forcing them to become Infinite Beings."

"Based on the above, given that the Young Justice League previously discovered that Biarriya's army had stolen the ball, I suspect that Biarriya is closely related to this matter. Therefore, I think the United Nations should put pressure on Biarriya."

If the alliance is not willing to intervene in national affairs, then why not put the evidence on the table and rely on the power of the state?

“This matter requires further consideration,” the Martian hunter, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"The Biarriya side claimed to be unaware of the matter and blamed everything on the mind demon. After my and others' investigation, we did find that the Biarriya soldiers present at the time showed signs of being mind-controlled."

Yang Le couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. He had only controlled a small portion of the Biarriya soldiers at the time. Since the Martian Hunter said that all of them showed signs of mind control, it meant that the mastermind had already anticipated the possibility of failure.

The mastermind had the Brain Demon leave marks on everyone beforehand, so that the Biarriya faction could pin everything on the Brain Demon afterward. Then, when they rescued the Brain Demon, there would be no way to prove anything.

"Even so, I still have doubts about the government of Biarriya, and I even suspect that they have some connection with the Illuminati."

Bringing up the long-dormant name of the Illuminati again sparked a brief murmur in the meeting hall, which only subsided when the next person spoke.

“Yang Le’s words make a lot of sense.” The questioner stood up. “After investigation, I discovered that the royal family of Biarriya may have long since lost control of the country.”

"How did you find out this?" Hal couldn't help but ask. He had been following the situation in Biarriya for a while, but he hadn't figured out anything.

“A national celebration,” the questioner uttered slowly. “Bialia is a monarchical autocracy where the royal family controls everything.”

"Under this outdated system, the royal family sometimes holds national celebrations to declare sovereignty, and in recent years, Biarriya has been holding such events quite frequently."

"It's like they're eager for everyone to know who's in control of the country."

The Batman-like questioner uttered the second half of the sentence, which was met with the questioner's agreement.

“That’s right, and the fact that the current King of Biarya always comes out to participate in these nationwide events and make an appearance in front of the entire nation makes it hard not to suspect that something is amiss.”

“But these are all just speculations,” Neptune said, arms crossed. “What if the king of Biarrion is just a mediocre man who needs to resort to such petty tricks to stabilize the country?”

“Impossible, Arthur.” The questioner shook his head. “Holding a national celebration once a year is a special feature, but holding it twice is a waste of resources and manpower. Do you think any king would like such a thing? Especially in a dictatorship.”

Aquaman fell silent. After becoming the King of Atlantis, he had crammed a lot of knowledge about emperors, and he noticed something was amiss as soon as the questioner pointed it out.
