The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1418

As if to echo Robin's words, Superboy standing to the side puffed out his muscular chest.

As Robin spoke, his dark eyes gradually turned red, soon becoming like two red lights, the intense heat emanating from them almost scorching Desard's body.

Clearly, this is the traditional good cop and bad cop system in interrogation. Although it's not very obvious, Robin should be the one playing the bad cop, while the good cop is all the other members of the Young Justice League.

No one present gave Desad a friendly look. That's natural; no one would be friendly to an invader. Anyone who casually invades another's planet or country should be hanged.

The Young Justice League didn't kill Desad immediately because they wanted to extract some useful information from him.

“A pointless threat.” Disadad feigned composure, his right hand moving stealthily beneath his wide cloak toward the wooden box in his pocket.

Desad was not good at fighting. Although he had the powerful physique of the New Gods as a foundation, he had never received systematic warrior training.

His greatest strength lies in using underhanded tactics; direct combat has never been his forte.

'As long as I grab the mother box, as long as I touch me, I can escape.'

Disad finally reached into his pocket, but before joy filled his mind, a feeling called panic.

'Where's the mother box?!'

Disad was sweating profusely. Could it be that he was lost on the road while being dragged along?

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Hearing the smug voice behind him, Disad turned around and saw Lightning Boy standing triumphantly behind him, the latter still tossing and catching something with his right hand.

Disad looked closely and saw that the purple, palm-sized cuboid was the Mother Box he had been longing for.

"When I first saw you, I noticed you were holding this thing in your hand. After I grabbed it, you immediately put it in your pocket. I knew then that this thing was very important."

Lightning Boy brandished the wooden box in his hand and said arrogantly.

"I just casually pulled this thing out. How about that? You're helpless now, aren't you?"

“You lowly race!” Desad roared in fury. “That is not something you can lay your hands on. Give me back the Mother Box, or the army of Apokolips will trample your flesh and blood into the earth, and even your souls will not find peace.”

“Wow.” Kid Lightning looked at Dessard with an expression of utter disbelief.

"This terrified me. We're sworn enemies, you don't think you can get me to return this thing with just a few threats, do you?"

"Mother Box? I remember seeing it in the Justice League's database. It's one of Apokolips' high-tech devices, with a wide variety of capabilities, and could even be called a universal weapon."

Robin walked around Desard, who was sitting on the ground, and went to Kid Lightning. He took the Mother Box and examined it in his hand.

"I've heard that this thing has its own consciousness. The current Earth can't decipher it. Yang tried to copy it before, but before he could finish, it was possessed by Zul'en'a."

Not long ago, Zul'A had left a huge impression on Robin. Even a half-finished, counterfeit Mother Box had such power. How powerful must the complete, genuine one be?
"Well done, Kid Flash." Robin patted Kid Flash on the shoulder. "You've solved a big problem for us."

Lightning Boy never expected that his casual act of stealing would actually earn him credit. In his view, any action that made the enemy unhappy must be the right one.

"Looks like you're not being honest." Robin gave him a meaningful look, and Superboy immediately understood, unleashing his pre-prepared heat vision. Two thin, thread-like beams of red light targeted Desad's ugly half-face, followed by a wisp of smoke rising into the air.

"what!"

Disad immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching his face and howling in pain.

"Stop pretending. Superboy is very careful and won't kill you. At most, he'll just leave a burn scar on your face."

Robin's expression remained icy, unmoved by Desad's wails.

It's important to understand that extraterrestrial life has never been protected by the Bat Family's no-kill policy, and all the things that have happened during this period have already helped him and all the members of the Young Justice League grow.

They might not kill their enemies, but they'd be happy to inflict some painful memories without killing them.

"Now tell me everything you know, show us your value and give us a reason to keep you."

Roy used his mechanical arm to grab Desad by the collar and forcibly pulled him up from the ground, which, from a third-party perspective, did not look like the act of a hero at all.

'It's now! ’

A sinister glint flashed in Desad's eyes. He was by nature an opportunist, and generally speaking, he was willing to abandon his dignity and live a life of ignominy when his life was in danger.

However, it depends on who you're facing. If it's someone like Darkseid, that's fine, but if it's someone like Earthlings, whom he has always looked down upon, Desade is still unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, Dessad had been waiting for an opportunity. The Mother Box was just one part of his escape plan; he also had a Plan B.

This Plan B is mind control. Although Desad is not good at fighting, he is very good at these unorthodox methods.

Especially his mind control ability, which ranks among the top three on Apokolips. Controlling a tiny Earthling is a piece of cake for him now.

'Hmph! As long as I control this Earthling in front of me and turn him into my hostage, I can easily escape.'

Desad knew that Earthlings were a race that valued human relationships, and most of them were even willing to give up their lives for their companions, especially these guys who called themselves superheroes.

As long as you have hostages, you will definitely be able to escape!

With this thought in mind, a wicked smile appeared on Desad's face, but a moment later his ugly face froze.

"How can it be…"

Disad discovered that his mental power could not penetrate the brain of the human in front of him, as if there was a wall blocking his way.

"I knew you wouldn't be so honest."

The Martian girl emerged from Roy's body, her eyes shining brightly, as unapproachable as a goddess.

“I’ve lost my patience. Now I’m going to turn your brain upside down.”
