The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1376

Although they had just encountered a crisis, it did not leave a shadow in everyone's hearts. Everyone was still chatting and laughing, just like usual.

It's not because the Justice League superheroes are heartless; it's just that they've been through so much. At first, they might have been serious for a few days after a major event, but now they're used to it.

Instead of pausing and fearing what happened in the past, it's better to pick yourself up and look forward.

Moreover, most superheroes are people with strong mental fortitude, otherwise they would have been worn down long ago.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Yang Le clapped his hands, steer the conversation back on track.

"Let me first tell you what I encountered in the universe. As you all know, I was initially assigned by Batman to investigate what happened on Tamaran."

"After Robin's testimony, it was learned that this was actually a diversionary tactic set up by Zul'an, who had been corrupted by the Joker. However, I actually managed to investigate some things by mistake."

"First of all, just as Xinghuo and the others said, Tamaran did indeed experience a war before. That war not only affected Tamaran, but also their hostile planets suffered huge blows."

"This is all because when the war reached the peace negotiation stage, a third force suddenly appeared. This third force forcefully intervened with great strength, defeated Tamaran Star and his people, and abducted many people, including Starfire."

“I will not repeat the information that the Spark Sisters have said as recorded in the files. What I want to talk about now is what they do not know.”

Yang Le said with a serious expression, "I used the Starfire Sisters as a stepping stone to try to contact the royal family of Tamaran, and found that they had already deduced who the attacker was."

"If the Tamaran people's deduction is correct, then the people who attacked them should indeed be the troops under Apokolips."

"Darkseid's army? But why?" Green Lantern asked, puzzled.

"Although Apokolips frequently wages war, they always have a reason for it. I think there must be some deeper meaning behind this."

Just as Hal said, what they feared was not the fact that Apokolips would invade other planets, but why Apokolips would invade others in the first place. After all, Darkseid never does anything that doesn't benefit them.

“The Tamaran aliens can’t answer that for us,” Yang Le shook his head. “They also can’t understand why Apokolips would suddenly attack their remote little planet in the universe.”

"However, I then explored several star systems around Tamaran and found that many of the planets there had been attacked by Apokolips."

"Therefore, I boldly speculate that Apokolips was preparing for war."

"What do you mean?" Superman frowned. Anything related to Apokolips was no small matter, especially since he had a feeling that Apokolips' target was very likely Earth.

"You all should still remember the soldiers from Apokolips, right?"

Faced with Yang Le's question, some of the superheroes present couldn't help but shudder; clearly, the Parademons had left a deep impression on them. "Parademons are war machines developed by Apokolips using biotechnology," Yang Le said, pulling up a 3D model of a Parademon.

"The essence of Parademons is that they are biological weapons created by Apokolips by combining creatures captured from other planets with biotechnology. They will obey the commands of their creators, will not fear death, and are virtually inexhaustible."

Yang Le didn't actually need to explain this; everyone present had personally experienced the endless army of Parademons crashing onto Earth like a tidal wave several years ago.

At that time, everyone was truly fighting with the thought of certain death. Although they eventually won, they also paid a heavy price.

"Another advantage of Parademons is that their strength increases with the genes they are injected with. I think Darkseid is preparing to fully strengthen his Parademon army, which is why he has captured so many powerful creatures in the universe."

"Take the Tamaran aliens as an example. Like the Kryptonians, they are also enhanced after absorbing light energy, even to the point of being able to fight the Kryptonians head-on. It's hard not to suspect their motives."

As Yang Le spoke, he looked at Superman sitting next to him. The latter was also sitting with his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face, clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"You can wait a bit before you worry, because there's even worse news here."

As Yang Le spoke, he pulled out another document, using it to mask the astonished expressions of the crowd, and continued.

"According to information provided by Mr. Lex Luthor and another of my informants, the leader of the Illuminati—Vandal Savage—has fled Earth. He must have fled to his alien allies after witnessing the power of Zul'an."

"By the way, Vandal Savage's alien ally is Darkseid."

"Haha." The Flash gave a stiff laugh. "One traitor? I don't think things can get any worse, can they?"

“The truth is far worse than you think, Flash.” Yang Le tossed the documents in his hand onto the table. “Don’t forget, Luthor’s so-called Advanced Predator state is something created by combining multiple superhuman genes with alien genes.”

Everyone present had witnessed Luther's appearance, although they only saw him for a few seconds before Yang Le defeated him without even exchanging blows. However, they all knew that Luther at that time was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Luther said that his main responsibility in the Illuminati was to receive support in biotechnology, and given the Illuminati's win-win nature, they couldn't keep anything secret, at least not openly."

"In other words, Vandal Savage also possesses the genes of superhumans and aliens that he used for research."

Upon hearing Yang Le's words, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned even more grim; clearly, they all understood what this meant.

“If you want to pledge allegiance to Darkseid, then a pledge of loyalty is naturally essential. At this time, what Darkseid lacks most is the genes of powerful creatures. I think Vandal Savage will hand over all the genes he possesses in order to show his loyalty.”

"Let me be blunt, guys, we're very likely going to be fighting a group of fully upgraded Parademons soon, and I think they're probably no weaker than a regular Kryptonian."
