Chapter 879: Saint Prisca Does Not Welcome Justice Landing
Maybe many people don’t know, but the Justice League is indeed a legal organization, at least it is legal in most countries on Earth.

The increasing number of super criminals, the covetous alien invaders, and all kinds of strange gods are all factors that add to the legitimacy of the Justice League.

Because of their real achievements time and time again, the general public is willing to believe that the heroes of the Justice League are on their side and they are indeed fighting for a better tomorrow for the earth.

But ordinary people don’t need to think so much. The top leaders of various countries cannot do this. They have to consider some things that may happen, or even things that may not happen.

The Justice League has developed rapidly in recent years. Even the initial giants are indeed reassuring, but who knows if those who join later may have their own ulterior motives?
While the United Nations gives legitimacy to the Justice League, it also has to consider whether there will be bad apples in the organization in the future. Therefore, the Justice League will inevitably have many more restrictions.

For example, the Watchtower's teleportation device. Except for a few countries that have signed relevant treaties, the Justice League is not allowed to use this device for international travel.

This is very strange. Basically no one cares about the movement of superheroes using their own abilities. You can go wherever you want, but the teleportation device does not work.

Countries that want to be rescued immediately in the event of an emergency will naturally sign the treaty, while countries that have their own concerns will naturally make excuses, and Santa Prisca Island is naturally among them.

"I still don't understand why any country would reject this treaty!"

Wally's emotions were a little unstable. If they weren't on Megan's biological aircraft, he might have jumped out of anger.

"Not all countries operate within the order we know." Dick turned on the microcomputer and called up the information about Santa Prisca Island that Batman gave them.

"There are many countries in the world that rely on things that are not worthy of being mentioned. Take Santa Prisca, for example. This island is small and its resources are not abundant."

"A few hundred years ago, people here could still rely on nature to achieve self-sufficiency, but after entering modern society, human needs have begun to increase. Simply having enough food and water is no longer enough to meet a person's daily needs."

"The facilities are backward, resources are scarce, and the people of Santa Prisca generally have a low level of education. Most people can't adapt to life outside the island, and even if they leave their homeland, they can't find high-paying jobs."

"Before this, Santa Prisca Island was essentially dependent on tourism, but the revenue it brought was barely enough. Now Bain has arrived with his factory. What would you do if you were a Santa Prisca resident?"

"You mean..." Wally started with difficulty. The young man who was born in Blue Valley Town and lived in Central City could not finish the second half of the sentence.

"This country is sheltering criminals," Batboy, who was fighting in Gotham, said for him. "It's the same across the country. They need this industry that brings them hope, even if it's a poison that harms the world."

"It might not have been necessary before, because Santa Prisca is a deserted place. Even the previous beast transformation incident did not affect it at all. Evil will not wreak havoc here."

"Now it is impossible because of livelihood, so the people of Santa Prisca do not allow Justice to land."

After everyone read Bane's memory, it basically only took some time for them to understand this sentence, but sometimes people would subconsciously choose to ignore something, and Dick just said what they ignored.

Silence fell once again within the aircraft. Sometimes the truth was just too hard to accept. "That's why Batman needed an inconspicuous team, a stealthy landing in Santa Prisca. And he only wanted us to investigate, not destroy the place."

Jackson was very smart and immediately came up with the answer by analogy.

"He had already guessed that the venom processing plant was already entangled with the country of Santa Prisca, but why didn't he tell us directly?"

"Maybe he doesn't want us to go through all this." Megan said with an uneasy look.

"Perhaps you don't know, because I'm not used to the way Earthlings communicate, I sometimes use my abilities unconsciously. Of course, I quickly retract them after realizing it, but sometimes I can still feel the emotions of those around me."

"Batman radiates something... painful, but he's always so gentle around us, so I guess he doesn't want us to know about it."

Dick lowered his head. As someone who spent every day with Batman, he felt that what Megan said was right. If they were really just investigating the reason for the closure of the processing plant, then they would not be able to find out this level of content. As long as there were no subsequent emergencies, they would not know so much.

"My brain is about to be eaten away by those dark things!" Wally scratched his head angrily. "Don't think too much about it for now. Since Batman doesn't want us to know, let them handle it. What we need to do now is to rescue Harpy!"

"Kid Flash is right," Troy said. "Amazons don't abandon their comrades, and I don't intend to follow suit. Since we can't ask the adults for help, let's go and save him ourselves."

"Calm down, Donna." Jackson held Troy. "There are more than just the twenty augmented humans we saw. If we provoke them, who knows how many augmented humans they'll create. Remember, they have a whole factory running non-stop."

Troy didn't say anything, but raised his hands and showed the silver armbands on his wrists to everyone.

"These armbands were made by Hephaestus, the God of Fire. They can suppress my power. Although Sister Diana brought me out of Paradise Island, she also signed a lot of treaties for me to abide by."

"One of the rules is that I cannot use my full strength outside the island. This is to punish me for the sin of abusing my power in the past."

"In other words, what you showed before was not your full strength?" Wolidun felt that all demigods were monsters.

"But if these shackles are meant to punish you, then we can't take them off."

"You're mistaken, Kid Flash." Troy shook his head. "It's not that these armbands are unremovable. Considering my safety, Diana secured a special privilege for me. If the situation is urgent, I can take them off."

"After all, the gods only ask me to atone for my sins, not to die."
