The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1365

"The evening news reported that about 25 minutes ago, a superhuman who called himself Zul'an'a and dressed like Batman executed a woman known as the Queen Bee in Biyalia."

"Evidence suggests that this queen bee is the actual ruler of Bialia, and almost all of the inhumane policies that have emerged in Bialia in recent years are her doing."

"That's not all. Zul'A also later announced the organization that the Queen Bee had joined: the Illuminati."

"It turns out that the Illuminati has been established for many years and has been secretly causing destruction to various countries on Earth for many years."

"Later, Zul'an forced the Queen Bee to reveal her accomplices, who were the supervillain Brain, supervillain Black Manta, supervillain Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor, the head of Lex Corporation, the sorcerer Witch Child, and Shredder, the new master of the League of Assassins."

"At present, Zul'an has dealt with the Queen Bee, the Brain, and the Black Manta. We don't know who his next target is, but judging from the current situation, we expect to have results soon."

"Currently, all known human technology is unable to pinpoint Zul'A's whereabouts. This makes me wonder, where exactly are the Justice League superheroes?"

"Beep!"

Luther turned off the TV, reached out and pressed a button on his desk. A single-piece slab of rock on the left wall of his office then retracted inward and began to slide to the left, revealing an elevator large enough to accommodate two people.

“Don’t tell anyone where I went,” Luther ordered the female bodyguard. “If that Zul’an comes looking for me, kill him.”

"Yes." The female bodyguard nodded in agreement, then remained outside the elevator, respectfully watching the elevator doors slowly close.

Luther watched the elevator start operating, then slowly leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief. Long before the Queen Bee was executed, all members of the Illuminati had received the news.

It was the Queen Bee who, after Zul'an'a stormed into the palace in Biaria, realized something was wrong and sent a distress signal to all members of the Illuminati.

However, these Illuminati members were very shrewd; almost none of them responded directly to the Queen Bee, but instead activated their own spies in Biarriya.

They then witnessed the entire process of Zul'en'a executing the Queen Bee. All the members of the Illuminati knew that this superhuman who called himself Zul'en'a was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

Although it's unclear what connection this superhuman dressed like Batman has with Batman, or why he knows so much about the Illuminati, there is one thing they are very clear about.

That is, if they don't take any further action, they might all be wiped out.

As expected, Zul'A gave them almost no chance to catch their breath, immediately executing another member's brain, and then killing Black Manta.

After eliminating these three members, Zul'an hadn't spent half an hour in total. According to Luther's calculations, if the former's next target was himself, he should be in front of him by now.

In other words, Zul'Ah chose his remaining colleagues, which gave Luther time to adjust.

At first, Luther didn't take Zul'A seriously. After all, although the Queen Bee was also a member of the Illuminati, he didn't really think much of her.

The Illuminati mainly recruited her because of the special small country of Bisaria; as for her personally, let's not talk about her.

However, after Zul'Ara executed Brain and Black Manta, Luthor's mindset changed. The former's strength far exceeded his initial assessment. This is why Luthor, no longer leisurely, hurriedly entered the elevator like a student about to be late.

The elevator in his office, located at the headquarters of the Lexcorp Group, leads directly to a laboratory that is exclusively his, unknown even to the rest of the Illuminati.

Luther developed many things here, and he has also been developing a plan here for many years.

"Ding!"

A pleasant notification sounded, reminding Luther that he had arrived at his destination. Sure enough, when he looked up, the elevator doors were already slowly opening.

Stepping out of the elevator, all I could see were high-tech devices that most people couldn't understand, but the most numerous of them were culture chambers of various sizes.

These culture chambers are filled with liquid, and their purpose is to maintain the activity of the organisms they contain.

These creatures are so bizarrely shaped that they rival even the alien heroes in Omnitrix.

These are all Lex's accumulations over the years, some from aliens who have visited Earth, and some from superhumans born on Earth.

Luther has been collecting these things for years, and they can even be considered the precursors or evolved versions of the variants from the Cadmus Institute.

However, discovering these rare and exotic creatures was not Luther's ultimate goal; his true intention was to create an ultimate life form that transcended everything.

That was Luthor's initial thought, but after years of open and covert struggles with Superman and the Justice League, he came to understand a principle.

That is, rather than controlling those who possess power, it is better to become the one who controls power.

Yes, Luther had the idea of ​​becoming a superhuman. This idea was originally just a budding one, but it has been growing over time and now it occupies most of his thinking time.

However, despite his urgency, Luther never took action. After all, the experiment was to be used on himself, and for that reason alone, Luther could not allow any mistakes to occur.

All the biotechnological creations he helped the Illuminati produce were experiments for this project, including those potions, mutants, and Superboy and his brother.

Luther had been planning this project for many years and had conducted countless experiments, including human trials, but the success rate and results were never satisfactory.

However, Luther now knows he can no longer afford to be complacent, otherwise, once he's buried, the potion will only become his burial offering.

Luther walked to the deepest part of the laboratory, where a machine as tall as a person stood. He reached out and entered a password on the control panel, then verified his fingerprint and iris scan. Only then did the machine slowly open with a hissing sound of a valve deflating.

As the machine operated, a row of green medicine in test tubes was pushed out and placed quietly in front of Luther, as if waiting for him to choose one.
