Chapter 273 The Completion of Logic

"Oh, is it related to the massacre?" A gentle smile appeared on Fang Zheng's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"What does 'massage relationship' mean?" Superman scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

His innate extraordinary bloodline granted him super strength, super speed, and a super brain.

However, in 99.9% of cases, when faced with any crisis, his super brain tells him to use his super power.

Furthermore, in order to avoid his thinking becoming detached from that of ordinary humans and to avoid constantly viewing a world that is no different from a static one, Superman's brain is almost always in a low-operation state.

It was like a supercomputer with only a few chips running, so for a moment, he really didn't understand what Batman meant.

He sensed the atmosphere becoming more tense, so he quickly put his body in front of the Hellbat Armor, trying to stop him from doing anything foolish.

However, for some reason, Batman, who had been so determined just moments before, did not take any action against Superman's obstruction. He neither argued nor defended himself, but simply sighed slightly, stood aside, and gestured for Superman to go ahead.

Then, although Superman was somewhat puzzled, he still answered Fang Zheng's question based on his own insights.

Superman gestured wildly and said, "That's right, you're right. We do indeed possess technology and power far surpassing that of ordinary humans."

"Although I don't particularly like it, many of my fans, and many people around the world, call me a god among men, and regard me as a deity walking among humans."

"In fact, apart from a very few main gods, the gods of various countries on Earth, whether they are aliens, magicians, or superpowered beings, are no different from mortals compared to me."

"I am well aware that my individual production capacity alone is enough to crush the entire human civilization on Earth."

"If I wanted to, I could move a pure gold asteroid from space in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, and completely destroy humanity's gold standard monetary system."

"If I wanted, I could make the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hit Earth 240 times, 2400 times, 24000 times, or even more, in 24 hours a day."

"If I wanted to, I could use my frozen breath to plunge the entire Earth into an ice age. If I wanted to, I could even advance the Earth's planetary orbit, causing it to crash directly into the sun, or simply spend some time smashing the Earth into pieces and throwing it into the starry sky."

"Similarly, if I were willing, the energy I would gain from absorbing sunlight in a single day would be enough to sustain the current high-speed operation of Earth's civilization for more than 1000 years."

"Similarly, if I wanted, I could go directly to the deepest part of the sun to absorb energy. In just a few seconds, I could have hundreds or thousands of times more power than I do now."

As he slowly recounted his power, Superman unconsciously frowned, tilted his head to think for a moment, and said again, "Although I grew up on a farm in America, I was born on Krypton, an alien civilization that resembles humans. My Kryptonian spaceship came to Earth with me."

"The Kryptonian spaceship contains far too many high-tech features that most humans on Earth, even scientists, would never even dare to imagine."

"As long as I am willing to issue a command to the spaceship, it will only take a maximum of three hours, or as little as one hour, for the entire Earth to be transformed into a super civilization indistinguishable from Krypton by the surging automated nanomachines, filled with high technology that humans could not even imagine."

"There's no need to queue. Just give the computer a command, and everyone, including young children and the elderly, can be injected with a permanent Superman serum, perfectly and without any side effects, gaining the abilities of Kryptonians."

"By simply basking in the yellow sun, one can easily fly at supersonic speeds, achieving near-immortality."

"Whether it's hunger, disease, or poverty, with this level of technology, every human being can receive the most comprehensive care."

"Everyone can choose their own dream and live a happy life with the support of powerful technology and strong forces."

"Even the paradise in human mythology could never be one ten-thousandth as wonderful as what Kryptonian technology could achieve."

As he spoke, Superman's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

After a slight hesitation, he pointed to Cyborg, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, and said again, "Besides me, Cyborg and Batman's technology is no worse than my Kryptonian technology."

"The two of them, relying on the technology they have acquired through the Mother Box and various spoils of war, may be slightly inferior to Krypton's fully systematic technology in terms of comprehensiveness, but their level is indeed no different, or even stronger. They have reached a high level in the entire universe, and even the entire multiverse."

"If they wanted to, they could feed all of humanity on Earth in just a few hours, elevating everyone to the ranks of a super-civilization, without even needing to worry about any humans lacking the knowledge to be compatible with existing Kryptonian technology."

"Whether it's me or them, we have too many technologies at our disposal that can perfectly instill knowledge into the brain or accelerate education."

"In fact, for us, faster-than-light travel, space travel, and even time travel are just extremely minor issues."

"Using our technology, we can travel faster than the speed of light and simultaneously deploy self-replicating nanobots on every planet in the universe where life exists. Then, in less than a day, it would be enough for all civilizations and races in the universe with technology levels lower than Krypton, lower than the Mother Box of Apokolips, and lower than Batman to live the best life they can imagine in a short period of time."

"Similarly, Aquaman and Wonder Woman, although they themselves do not possess enough advanced technology, the technology possessed by their respective kingdoms, Atlantis and Paradise Island, is equally impressive. While it may not be at the level of directly transforming the entire universe, it is only a matter of whether or not they are willing to make all of humanity on Earth live a paradise-like life."

"While the Flash and Green Lantern don't possess any advanced technology, they can still live a stress-free life by using their abilities in the most brutal and simple way—farming—without needing to produce any food..."

As his brow furrowed deeper, Superman gradually stopped speaking, his brows tightly knitted, and he muttered to himself while pressing his temples, "What am I saying?" For some reason, a strange feeling arose in his mind, and Superman began to recall his past memories bit by bit, feeling a strong sense of incongruity and strangeness about his own behavior in them.

It seems that my memories have become like a film reel, no longer a shared experience, but a completely new perspective and viewpoint to look at behaviors that may seem normal in the film but strange to the audience.

Fang Zheng looked at Superman, and at the thoughtful faces of Cyborg, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, and continued to ask, "So?"

Superman rubbed his temples, temporarily stopping his wild thoughts, and replied hesitantly, "Even so, we shouldn't trample on the law. Once we take that step, once we cross the line, we'll completely lose control and cease to be superheroes."

Fang Zheng laughed and said, "Even if the law is completely useless, or if the foundation of the law is rotten, does it matter?"

"In your eyes, there are nearly 200 countries on Earth, 200 countries with different laws and different cultures."

"Different countries have different cultures and laws, which are constrained by historical behavior, and therefore have different ways of dealing with the same behavior."

"But what about you? What standards do you use to view the same events happening in different countries?"

Under such questioning, even while still frowning in thought, Superman answered without hesitation his previous point of view: "Despite our great power and technology, we still have to abide by the law, the laws of different countries, and even if these laws have flaws, it is absolutely not a reason for us to trample on them!"

"Is that so..." Fang Zheng raised his hand, and an incredibly detailed Earth appeared in his palm. Then, it expanded endlessly, enveloping everyone present.

Superman saw that they seemed to be standing in the sky, moving with the rotation of the planet, traveling between different countries.

Gotham City, Star City, and Metropolis in the United States, as well as other locations besides those commonly visited by superheroes, such as Mexico, Mumbai in India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Pyongyang in North Korea, and Seoul in South Korea...

In these distinctive countries and cities, the laws differ, the cultures differ, the religious atmosphere differs...

The Justice League's many superheroes stood there, watching the world turn, presenting them with things they might or might not know.

For example, Gotham City is rife with crime. Crimes that would be punishable by death 100 or 1000 times in other countries or cities would not be sentenced to death in Gotham City, or even life imprisonment. Instead, the offenders would be sent to mental hospitals and treated to good food and drink.

For example, Mexico is rife with crime and is in a state of chaos for many years, with warlord conflicts and drug traffickers cracking down on government forces.

For example, in India, drug trafficking, which is explicitly prohibited in other countries, is legal and compliant, and more than 2 million people in the country are drug users.

For example, Saudi Arabia is a slave society that exists in name only.

For example, Pyongyang in North Korea is a centralized state, while Seoul in South Korea is a capital-controlled state supported by foreign military forces...

In the illusion, standing on a dilapidated street, Fang Zheng suddenly transformed into a sallow-faced, gaunt boy, furtively showing something to a passerby.

But then, he was brutally beaten with the butt of a gun by a gang member who had been lying in wait nearby. He was beaten until his mouth and nose bled and he was covered in wounds. He didn't wake up until late at night and stumbled home.

Looking at his mother, who lay on the bed with a numb expression and was tightly bound with ropes, and his young brother, who knew nothing and was crying only because of hunger, he couldn't help but cry out.

While crying, the boy said, "In Mexico, where drinking water is more expensive than Coke, the long-term warlord conflicts and the United States' constant meddling have made violence an integral part of society. In many cases, ordinary people at the bottom of society are forced to participate whether they want to or not, and they can barely survive by relying on violence."

"And the law? In many parts of Mexico, where drug traffickers have been besieging government forces for a long time, the law is basically non-existent. In many cases, it is the drug traffickers' gang members who maintain order. The order of the gangs is the law."

Fang Zheng pointed to his bruised and swollen face. "In this situation, should you abide by the government's laws or the drug dealers' laws?"

The scene shifts, and the group arrives at a desert oasis. Fang Zheng then transforms into a girl dressed in revealing clothing adorned with gold and jewels.

As the music played, beautiful young women of different ages and skin colors danced gracefully, while nobles dressed in white robes and headscarves made their selections as if choosing merchandise or pets.

Amidst the cries and bloodshed of these young girls, the nobles indulged in unrestrained pleasure. After they were done, in order to flaunt their wealth, they cruelly threw the girls into lion cages, leaving the hungry beasts to devour the dying children.

Amidst the compassionate and furious gazes of the Justice League's many superheroes, a shattered skull, reduced to mere bones, spoke: "Just like here, in many countries, despite the international claim that there is no slavery, there are still openly noble families, and the practice of keeping slaves, both openly and covertly, remains a common practice among the nobility."

“These slaves, of different ages and ethnicities, were bought and tamed from a young age through various channels, raised like cats and dogs, for entertainment and breeding. When you see them, do you want to abide by their overt laws or their covert rules?”

Before they could answer, the scene shifted again, and the group found themselves in a place where there was almost no vegetation, the mountains were bare, and there was a lot of barbed wire. Fang Zheng transformed once more into a child who was barely clothed, had a blank expression, and a large belly covered in edema.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous superheroes, this child, with limbs as thin as sticks but a belly as big as a drum, chooses to flee to the other side of a river after his family has starved to death due to a famine.

However, just as he tried to climb the barbed wire, he was caught by soldiers, severely beaten, and died with resentment in his eyes.
