The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1377

Yang Le's guess was not unfounded. First of all, DC once did an epic mess, which was the legendary Apokolips War.

The story of the Apokolips War is roughly about the Justice League obtaining the coordinates of Apokolips, then choosing to launch a full-scale counterattack, only to have their plan exposed by Cyborg as a camera.

After enjoying a live broadcast, Darkseid used a clever scheme to trap and wipe out almost the entire Justice League.

In the original comics, the Justice League suffered such a crushing defeat not only because their plans were completely exposed, but also because Darkseid created a completely new and upgraded version of Parademons.

Almost every one of them is equivalent to a Doomsday. In Yang Le's opinion, this battle is basically unwinnable. How can you play with an endless stream of Doomsdays? I'll give you 15 points this round.

Even Yang Le's own simulations concluded that the simplest method was to use X-Man, as other alien heroes were more or less at risk of failure.

Even if it's about melting heroes and Kong, it's still the Apokolips War. You can't just count the Parademons; you also have to count Darkseid and his generals.

As the most famous new god, Darkseid is quite impressive, especially with the Omega Effect and the Anti-Life Equation. The Omega Effect alone is manageable, but if the two are combined, Yang Le probably only has the pure X-Man to withstand it.

There's no way around it; any gene will drag down Superman X's strength. Melting evolution might be an enhancement for other alien heroes, but for the extraterrestrial gods, it's just a pure burden.

Therefore, Yang Le was not very confident about the upcoming Apokolips War, because if his previous predictions were correct, then he alone could not turn the tide of the war.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that he could persuade the two consciousnesses within Superman X. If he couldn't persuade them, then he would be no different from a scarecrow, at most a little more durable.

Yang Le even had a thought: if he couldn't move after becoming X-Man, he could have Superman or someone strong hold him and use him as a weapon, so he could withstand a few more Omega rays.

Getting back to the main point, putting aside the external factor of the original comic book, Yang Le still trusted his intelligence sources.

First, there's Luther. Although he's not a good person, you can still trust him in situations like this, and besides, he's not someone who can't accept defeat.

However, Yang Le did not trust Luther completely like a naive and innocent person at the beginning. He approached another remaining member of the Illuminati, Damian, who was disguised as Shredder.

Whether it was due to Zul'A's influence or not, even after being corrupted by the Joker's consciousness, he still didn't go after Damian, who had a clear objective, but instead deliberately bypassed the League of Assassins and chose the more distant Queen Bee.

When Ray Xiaogu first saw this mutant Batman who suddenly appeared, he was prepared to die in Damian's place. Unexpectedly, Zul'Ah did not come after them until the end of the matter.

However, after learning the truth, Lei Xiaogu's mood didn't improve much, since the Illuminati, which he had invested a lot of energy in, was now basically defunct.

Queen Bee, Brain, and Black Manta have been executed, and the evidence against Luthor for most of his misdeeds is irrefutable. He is currently imprisoned in the Justice League's jail.

With Vandal Savage gone from Earth, the only remaining leaders of the Illuminati are Damian, the spy, and the elusive Witch Child.

The Illuminati is practically defunct now. Without the command of these dangerous leaders, their smaller factions are no longer a threat.

Thus, the Illuminati, which was originally considered the Justice League's number one enemy, came to an end in such an anticlimactic manner. Damian had originally planned to prepare for a long battle, but unexpectedly, his infiltration lasted less than two months before it ended. Meanwhile, his other fanfiction character, Jackson, was recently found by the Atlantean salvage team.

The young hero was seriously injured, but fortunately he stayed in the sea, and the seawater protected every citizen of Atlantis, keeping him alive and preventing him from dying immediately.

Hai Shaoxia is still in a coma and will probably not be able to move freely for a while, but at least his life has been saved and his identity has been cleared.

Damian's espionage career may have ended, but he did obtain a lot of useful information.

For example, the fact that Vandal Savage had connections with Apokolips was confirmed by Damian after Luthor revealed it.

Furthermore, according to Luther, Vandal originally intended to contact Apokolips alone, but due to his inferior biotechnology, he had no choice but to reveal it publicly.

Vandal's Apokolips alliance plan was not well-received, given the existence of the Reach Zerg as a precedent, which led to a lack of trust in extraterrestrials.

However, the plan was eventually approved with Vandal's strong support, which led to Luther's resentment towards him.

This is probably the main reason why Luther is now going on and on about Yang Le.

Subsequently, Yang Le reconciled Luther's testimony with Damian, finding that Luther was telling the truth about anything Damian knew.

There are also some things that only Luther knows, which Damian has no way of verifying.

Even so, Damian helped Yang Le a lot, but Yang Le will still have the Martian Girl conduct a brain examination on Luther later.

Yang Le discovered that, compared to Martian Hunter, his junior, Martian Girl, was less resistant to using telepathy to read minds on ordinary people.

This is an advantage, but if not properly guided, it can become a ticking time bomb. Fortunately, he and Superboy can help her get back on the right track.

Yang Le then recounted some of the Illuminati's affairs before announcing the end of the meeting.

Of course, in the final stage of the meeting, Yang Le once again brought up the upcoming Apokolips war.

"I know everyone is worried about this, and I hope you can trust me. I will try my best to come up with a solution."

Perhaps because they had just resolved a major crisis, the superheroes present were surprisingly confident in Yang Le's grandiose promises, which inevitably boosted his morale.

Yang Le had already planned it out. If all else failed, he would create a clone on Apokolips and activate the Omnitrix's self-destruct mode to blow up Apokolips.
