The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1043

According to subsequent statistics from the Justice League, a total of 43 Krolot warships were captured, or 45 if the two that Yang Le destroyed at the beginning are included.

There were 2249 captured Krolots. Each warship had fifty Krolots on board, but one ship had only forty-nine, and one of them committed suicide by shooting himself.

After investigation, the Justice League discovered that the warship with only 49 people was the main ship of the Krolot fleet, and the person who committed suicide by shooting himself was the captain of the main ship, who was also the overall commander of this operation against Earth.

When the other person's identity was first confirmed, everyone assumed that he had committed suicide out of guilt or for the honor of his race, but after three days of investigation, they found that things were not so simple.

"You mean, all those Krolots are clones?"

Kid Lightning and Robin sat facing each other at the dining table. Three days had passed since the last invasion, and all sorts of news were available to the Alliance members.

As the captain of the Young Justice League, Robin naturally investigated the matter thoroughly as soon as possible and rushed over to share it with his teammates.

Lightning Boy's voice was loud, which saved Robin the time of calling out to everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, the team members all sat down on their own.

“That’s right, just as Mr. Yang guessed.” Robin put down his sandwich when everyone sat down.

"According to the examination by Martian Manhunter and Mr. Zatara, it was discovered that all these Krolots were clones implanted with false memories. In their minds, there was a girl named Rufasa waiting for them to return, marry, and have children."

"You could even say that all 2249 people are one person, but they don't seem to know it from each other. They all think they are the Krolot soldier named Kuka. Apart from some basic knowledge, they have almost nothing in their minds."

"That's why those guys were able to stay with the children under that separation magic; according to the examination, they were all only two months old."

Robin's revelation sent chills down everyone's spines; the truth was truly terrifying.

"According to the autopsy report, the Krolot who committed suicide was probably also a minor, but his genes were intact and he was not a clone."

Robin scratched his head in distress, sighed, and said, "Now that I think about it, the idea of ​​that Krolot who committed suicide must have been very simple. He was probably the only one who knew the whole story."

"Let one person in the know oversee the whole operation, and then let the other clones act as cannon fodder. That way, even if the mission fails, as long as the captain dies, all the secrets can be kept hidden."

“Aren’t there still 2249 clones?” Artemis asked, puzzled. “Aren’t they all witnesses?”

“It’s a shame they can’t be witnesses,” Robin shrugged. “According to Green Lantern, even if you take it to the Universal Court, the Krolots can wipe the slate clean.”

"They could easily say that others stole the DNA of the Krolots, assembled a fleet to exploit and smear them, and that group of clones has absolutely nothing to offer as evidence."

"So we're just going to have to swallow this bitter pill?" Lightning Boy said unhappily.

Robin leaned back in his chair helplessly and said, "Yeah, basically we just have to swallow our anger." "What about those dark wizards arrested on Roanok Island?" Zatanna asked. Their Group B only participated in the arrests; they knew nothing about the subsequent interrogations.

"They didn't know anything either. They were all controlled by the witch children and brought here as expendable resources. After the witch children ran away, the control magic was lifted. It is said that when those dark wizards woke up and saw the Justice League surrounding them, they were heartbroken."

When Robin mentioned it, Zatanna remembered it. It was indeed as the former had said, especially about Wotan, who had just escaped from prison. Zatanna had indeed seen despair in Wotan's eyes at that time.

The children fell silent. This was the first time they had felt frustrated after such a great victory, since they still didn't know who the real mastermind was.

...

A few days later, after confirming that no truth could be found in the investigation, the Justice League and the United Nations decided to hand over the remaining 2249 Crorot clones to the Green Lantern Corps for disposal.

Earthlings can't keep supporting these aliens forever. It would be fine if these aliens possessed some knowledge, but they are just a bunch of clones who know nothing. Keeping them is just a waste of food.

As the law enforcers of the universe, the Green Lantern Corps, through the mediation of Hal, the greatest Green Lantern, ultimately decided to take in this group of clones and, in accordance with universal law, send them to labor camps.

The Green Lantern Corps will change the values ​​of these clones and provide them with genetic treatment, which is arguably the best solution.

However, this solution still drew dissatisfaction from many people, who saw it as proof of cowardice and believed that the Earth should simply execute all these invaders.

These people are spreading their views online without considering that these clones know nothing and have been given orders to invade. In the end, these clones who are not allowed to have their own will are also pitiful.

If anyone should be sentenced to death, it would be the captain, but unfortunately he is already dead.

However, the general public does not consider the full picture, which led to the matter escalating and eventually threatening to become a target of clones and aliens.

This drew criticism to the Justice League, which had gathered many aliens. Fortunately, the League prevented the crisis, otherwise they might have been thrust into the spotlight again.

The last time was because of the beast transformation incident, which also led Luther into the political arena. I heard that he will soon become the mayor of Metropolis, and the approval ratings of others are much lower than his.

Luther's victory is a foregone conclusion; all that's left is to wait for the next election.

Perhaps because the alien invasion incident caused such a big stir, there have been fewer criminals lately, which has made the Young Justice League much less busy than before, giving everyone more time to themselves.

With free time on their hands, these restless teenagers naturally wanted to enjoy their youth. That's why Wally the Kid and Artemis recently got together.

The two started as bickering lovers, but after several missions, they gradually developed feelings for each other and recently confirmed their relationship. They are the second couple in the team after Connor and Megan.
