Chapter 862: Weapon O suddenly becomes important
The Illuminati originally did not think highly of Desmond. The main reason for recruiting him was to try to see if the giant potion he mentioned could replace cobra venom.

After all, the leaders of the Illuminati are all powerful people. They will not stick to one thing. If there is a better alternative to the original plan, why not do it?

But it turns out that although both the Giant Potion and the Cobra Venom can enhance the host's physical abilities, the side effects of the Giant Potion are too severe.

The IQ of the experimental subjects injected with the giant brain drug will drop significantly, and a mentally healthy adult can be turned into an intellectually disabled person in an instant.

Even those high-IQ criminals who boast of their high IQs can't even count after being injected with the giant potion. It's more like a poison than a strengthening potion.

Desmond assures the Illuminati that they can resolve the issue if given some time, but these bigwigs won't waste their time on him.

Fortunately, Desmond had some abilities in genetics, so he was sent to the Cadmus Institute to look after the Kr. project and clone some mutants for future use.

However, it was obvious that Desmond was an ambitious guy, so he used the resources of the Cadmus Institute to conduct research privately. Yes, what he was researching was the giant potion with no side effects, which was the potion he used to attack Robin and others.

That was the only successful potion, and he had hoped to make a comeback with it, but he happened to run into the Young Justice League led by Yang Le.

It was at that time that Yang Le collected all the information inside the Cadmus Institute. However, when he saw the information about the perfect giant potion, he had no interest at all.

But at the same time, after learning about what happened to Dr. Desmond, a plan emerged in Yang Le's mind. With this plan, he might be able to get close to the Illuminati, a group of cunning guys.

So Yang Le deleted the information about the Perfect Giant Potion, and after becoming a Little Warrior, he re-entered the information about the all-powerful mutant - Weapon O.

Of course, there was nothing particularly important in this document. Yang Le imitated Desmond's tone and wrote an experimental diary, describing the birth of weapon O as a miracle that was born by chance.

Desmond (Yang Le) doesn't know why Weapon O was created, but he knows what a creature with so many superpowers can bring to him.

But Desmond did not rush for quick success. He concealed the birth of Weapon O because he knew that the Illuminati would look down on mediocre people who had accidental luck, so he wanted to wait until he had figured it out before reporting it.

In subsequent experiments, Desmond discovered that Weapon O was highly compatible with the genes of various superhumans. When it was first born, Weapon O had only three abilities, but after a period of experimentation, his abilities increased to six.

Super strong genetic adaptability, this is why the Illuminati attaches great importance to weapon O.

But unfortunately, Dr. Desmond was captured by the Justice League before he could figure it out, which resulted in not only Superboy but also Weapon O falling into the hands of the Justice League.

"Desmond is a useless guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do anything good." Lei Xiaogu cursed. Even he, who didn't know much about high technology, knew how much impact a creature that could adapt to various genes could bring.

Even with the simplest usage, as long as they have one O weapon, the Illuminati will have the confidence to create countless O weapons, and then they will not have to rely too much on their alien allies.

As long as they form a super mutant army, they can counterattack not only the Earth, but even the entire universe, and let those alien bumpkins taste the power of the Earthlings.

"I think we can temporarily increase the importance of Young Justice." The brain suggested directly.

"Everyone here is smart. I don't need to remind you of the importance of Weapon O, right? If possible, we must capture him first." "Especially before the Justice League realizes his importance."

"I second that." This was Luther's purpose, so he naturally took the lead in agreeing with the brain's proposal.

"I second." Vandal followed closely. In order to achieve his goal, he naturally had to hold all the favorable resources in his hands.

The other members naturally had no objections and agreed to the proposal.

"Leave this matter to me," Luther stepped forward. "I'll be more confident if I personally handle matters related to Weapon O."

The leaders all nodded, believing that it would be more reassuring if this matter was left to one of them.

It seems that the O weapon has left a deep impression on these guys who think they are superior, which proves that Yang Le has achieved his goal.

The leaders of the Illuminati continued to communicate for a while before ending the meeting.

Luther turned off the communication and slumped in his boss chair. Luther did not dare to slack off in front of his allies, even though they belonged to the same organization.

You have to know that they are not the group of self-sacrificing guys like the Justice League. The Illuminati is composed of a group of selfish people. Luthor believes that as long as he reveals a flaw, he will be immediately eaten by his allies with whom he is on good terms.

This is what the Ocean Lords are like. Once they reveal their weaknesses, they are squeezed dry of their surplus value by everyone else, and then kicked away after being completely exploited.

After rubbing his temples, Luther took a short rest before opening the drawer of his desk. In addition to some documents, there was also a small box lying quietly inside.

This is what he prepared for Superboy. It is a suppression device called SHIELD. As long as the SHIELD is attached to the body, it can temporarily suppress the human genes in Superboy's body, allowing the Kryptonian genes to prevail, thereby enhancing his combat effectiveness.

Simply put, as long as the shield is attached, Superboy can transform from a half-Kryptonian to a full-time Kryptonian.

This was originally the bargaining chip he was going to use to seduce Superboy, but now it seems that the target of this bargaining chip has to be changed.

Luther tapped his fingers on the box containing the shield a few times, thinking for a moment about how to use this thing, and finally decided not to act rashly.

At present, he still doesn't know what kind of person Weapon O is. If he contacts him rashly, he will only expose himself from behind the scenes to the front, and it is very likely that he will lose all the popularity he has accumulated in the previous Starro incident.

This won't work, at least not for now. At least he still needs the support of the general public.

Let’s put out some bait first and see.
