But since Shazam was able to defeat Zansha, it proved that he had the power to defeat Zansha before he obtained Zansha's power.
This is something that even the Superstar in his prime couldn't do. Since he couldn't do it before, he can't do it now when facing this stronger opponent.
So the power of Shazam is not the most important reason. The most serious problem is that he cannot beat Shazam in terms of hard power.
In fact, there is another way to get kryptonite, but this method is a more difficult choice for Speedmaster.
Most of the pure kryptonite that can be mined on Earth has been confiscated and stored on Devil's Island, but there are still many mixed minerals of kryptonite and other elements scattered around the world.
Those things can also extract some kryptonite elements, but because of the low purity, the effect is far inferior to those he collected before.
Speedmaster knew from the beginning that the kryptonite on Earth would eventually run out, but he never worried about it.
It's not because he commissioned Deathstorm to create artificial kryptonite for him, but because besides Earth, there is another place with almost endless kryptonite resources.
That is the ruins of Krypton.
The spaceship that Speedmaster rode when he was a child was not damaged, so it can still be used now, and the coordinates of Krypton are also stored in the star map inside the spaceship. It can be said that as long as he wants, he can return to Krypton at any time.
However, because he witnessed the destruction of Krypton when he was a child, Superman actually has a childhood trauma about Krypton. If possible, he really doesn't want to go back to that place again.
But now it seems that this may be his only choice.
After tonight, he is likely to be wanted by the Justice League, and Shazam is also likely to come out to catch him at this time.
There was no other way, he had to leave the planet temporarily.
But on the bright side, once he leaves Earth, no matter how powerful the Justice League is, they will never be able to catch him.
And he will gain almost endless kryptonite, which he can use to continuously enhance his super powers.
There is no yellow sun where Krypton is located. Like other parallel universes, Krypton's "sun" is a red dwarf star, which is smaller than the sun and has a lower temperature.
The red sun has neither amplifying nor weakening effects on the Speedmaster. It feels just like ordinary people on Earth basking in the sun. Of course, Kryptonians will not get skin cancer from it.
After getting the information he wanted and clarifying his goal, it was Super's entertainment time.
Superba pulled up a creepy smile and looked at Ross opposite him.
"You are very honest, dear Miss Rose, and completely unlike your father, so to reward your behavior I have decided to be generous...
Originally, I was hoping to enjoy the process more, but for you, I'm willing to make a small concession."
Rose didn't understand what he meant, but she instinctively felt a little uneasy and quickly shouted, "No..."
At this moment, Wilson seemed to realize that he had reached the end of his life. At this moment, he felt unexpectedly calm in his heart.
The legendary revolving lantern began to play before his eyes, allowing him to review his life, a man's failed life.
He finally realized his own stupidity. He shouldn't have allowed a threat like Superman to happen just for the election, nor should he have distanced himself from the Justice League because of his defense against them. If a member of the Justice League was here tonight, his ending might have been different.
He is already doomed to die, but his daughter Rose must not fall into the hands of Speedmaster!
Wilson knew Speedmaster very well and knew what kind of beast he was. If Rose fell into his hands, he would end up worse than death.
In the comic "Forever Evil", Superman invaded the main universe and once wanted to rape and kill Lois Lane of the main world. If Black Adam had not arrived in time, Reporter Hero would be in danger.
At the last moment of his life, Wilson must find a way to save his daughter!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that before his relationship with the Justice League became as bad as it is now, he had received a gift from Shazam.
Although the other party had warned that he was not sure about the effect of this gift, Wilson was extremely eager for it to work.
So, before Super was about to cut Wilson's throat, he saw the president, who was almost dead, suddenly took out a knife from his body.
Speedmaster felt it was ridiculous. Wilson actually wanted to use this thing against him?
Even though he is now "weaker" than before due to the scarcity of Kryptonite, he is still invulnerable.
But he didn't mind letting Wilson feel despair before he died. To be honest, he had prepared many kinds of punishments for this old guy before, but now none of them had been used. He was actually a little unhappy.
However, when Wilson pulled out the knife, Superman immediately felt something was wrong. His strength was rapidly dissipating, even faster than when he was exposed to the sun!
"you!"
Wilson stabbed the dagger into Speedmaster's waist with his backhand. His face was held in front of Speedmaster and he could not see the situation behind him, so he could only draw the knife based on his feeling. Fortunately, he succeeded in hurting Speedmaster, but unfortunately, he did not injure the opponent's vital parts.
Chaoba felt a sharp pain in his waist. He looked at his waist in disbelief. The knife was stuck in his waist at this time, and the blade had already sunk into his flesh.
He could see that the blade of the knife was covered in a special blue mineral, and it was this mineral that was destroying his muscles, preventing him from healing and keeping him in a state of weakness.
Fortunately, Wilson didn't have much strength left, and the knife only pierced his flesh without damaging his internal organs.
Superman quickly grabbed the knife, and the feeling of weakness spread throughout his body. He endured the severe pain, pulled the knife out from his waist, and then pushed it forward and stabbed it into Wilson's heart!
"Dad—!"
Rose screamed heartbreakingly and she immediately shot at Speedmaster. This shot should not have worked, but Rose's first bullet actually shot directly through Speedmaster's arm, and Wilson's body fell from his hand.
When Ross saw Wilson escape from Speedmaster's control, he quickly stepped forward and hugged him.
Super took the opportunity to escape backwards. He smashed the glass window and ran out.
What surprised him was that once he left the White House, his superpowers quickly returned to him, and the injuries on his waist and arms healed quickly.
There is something wrong with that knife! Speedmaster immediately realized that the knife could weaken his superpowers!
At the same time, Rose also discovered that Wilson's vital signs had disappeared. Heartbroken, she immediately continued shooting in the direction of Speedmaster.
But this time, the bullet that hit Speedmaster bounced back and fell to the ground, unable to hurt him at all.
This further proved Chaoba's guess. He wanted to go back and kill Ross and destroy the knife, but he had little energy left. He also heard many soldiers gathering around.
If he were to fight this gang, he might not even have the energy to fly back to the spaceship.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Speedmaster chose to retreat.
Just as Night Owl had evaluated him, when seeing that things were hopeless, Super would immediately choose to stay away from the dangerous area, and this time, he made another wise choice.
With a sonic boom, the Speedmaster flew into the sky and disappeared deep into the clouds.
Only the dead Wilson, the weeping Ross, and the belatedly arrived guards were left.
Chapter 364: Ross's Choice x Dane's New Equipment
"This is Washington News, and I'm breaking news now. I regret to inform the nation...
The great President Slade Wilson tragically passed away two hours ago. Evidence proves this was a horrific murder! The murderer was none other than the familiar superhuman, Superman!
Ten minutes after Wilson was stabbed, the emergency doctor announced that he was physiologically dead and there was no need to continue rescue.
Rose felt like the sky was falling in an instant, she couldn't accept this fact!
Waller rushed to the White House as soon as the incident happened. After confirming again and again and finding that Wilson was really beyond saving, she immediately awakened Ross from her grief.
"Rose, now is not the time to be sad, you have more important things to do!"
Waller instructed his men to put away the blood-stained knife, and then continued to Ross, "The most urgent matter now is how to use this incident to prepare for your next move."
Rose's mind was a little confused. She didn't understand what Waller meant. How could he use this incident? What incident?
After a few seconds, she jerked her head up and looked at Waller in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that. If something happened to you tonight, I would have given the same advice to Mr. Wilson." Waller said calmly.
"He just died!" Ross exclaimed.
What Waller meant was that she wanted to use the president's death to build momentum for Ross's ascension to power. In other words, she wanted to use Wilson's death for political hype!
In Ross's eyes, such behavior was tantamount to insulting her father, not to mention that Waller's move also implied that Ross should be involved.
This was obviously unacceptable to Ross, who was less than 30 years old.
However, Waller disagrees.
Under normal circumstances, someone like Ross would have had no chance of becoming president, not only because of her age but also because of her gender.
But now it’s different. As long as they handle it properly, they can shape Wilson into a hero, and Rose’s identity is not just a presidential candidate, she is also the queen of heroes!
As long as what happened this time is processed a little bit, Ross will definitely gain sympathy from people across the country and even the world, and he may even have a chance to succeed to the throne and become the next president.
To put it simply, Waller hopes to add a buff to Rose, and preferably let her give a public speech to absorb all the aura originally gathered on Wilson to her.
After all, she is the only daughter of the late president, and the possibility of this plan succeeding is very high!
Waller had learned before coming here that the vice president was also working in the White House at the time.
But he was unlucky. When Speedmaster cut off the power supply here, he was killed by Speedmaster because he was right above the underground cables.
This meant that he could not directly take office as interim president like Truman did, and at this time, Ross, who was also a candidate, had a chance.
After all, in the previous election, Ross's votes were far above those of other competitors, so as long as he can make good use of today's events, Ross does have a glimmer of hope to gain more support by taking advantage of people's high attention to this matter and eventually become the new president.
But Ross couldn't accept this. What was more heartbreaking than taking advantage of someone else's death was taking advantage of her relatives' death. Ross's father had just died, and she was actually using this incident to hype it up. If she did this, even she would look down on herself.
"But the interests of the United States are above everything else, even above the feelings between you and your father!" Waller said sternly.
If Waller herself encountered such a thing, she would definitely do it without hesitation, because she knew that only by doing so could the losses be minimized, and they might even turn this bad thing into a good thing.
"Do you want your father's sacrifice to be in vain? He worked so hard to create this situation. If this matter is not settled, the people's fear of the Syndicate will rise again."
"Then why do you want me to exploit this? Wouldn't it be enough to just publish the truth about what happened?"
Waller once again felt Rose's naiveté, but it didn't matter. Even though she was immature now, once she really took that position, she would surely grow up at a speed no one could imagine.
Amanda Waller believes she won't be wrong.
So she asked a crucial question: "If you are not the next president, will you still be responsible for the relationship with the Justice League?"
This question stumped Ross.
A new emperor appoints new ministers. This is a rule that applies throughout the country.
Once the new president takes office, they will definitely not use Ross or Waller again. Waller may be better off. She only needs to change her job title to continue to be reused, but she needs to go through the path of career advancement again.
But Ross will inevitably leave the center of power and everything related to superhumans because the new president will not allow her to continue to have contact with these.
Unless the Justice League specifically requests it, they must contact Ross, but is that possible?
Recently, her relationship with the Justice League has been a little awkward, and it's time for her to do everything she can to ease the situation, but the Justice League will definitely not speak for her.
So if the presidency falls to someone else, Ross will definitely be kicked out of the organization.
Is Rose comfortable? Is she comfortable handing over everything she and her father have worked so hard for?
She suddenly thought of her other two competitors, a big capitalist, and a profiteer supported by big capital. No! We can't hand over the country to two people like these!
Seeing that she didn't say anything else and had calmed down, Waller breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Ross is willing to cooperate, this matter can be accomplished.
As a direct descendant of Wilson's faction, Waller did not want them to collapse so quickly. She had thought of all this on the way here.
It would be fine if Ross could accept her advice rationally, but if not, Waller would have to find another home.
After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, Ross finally agreed to Waller's suggestion with tears in his eyes.
She was willing to sell her soul to the devil for the United States and the future she and her father envisioned.
Waller was already prepared. As soon as Ross nodded, she immediately called in people from Washington News to take pictures of the scene and gave Ross a brief interview.
The most important thing is the surveillance in Wilson's office. It has an independent battery, so it can still work normally after the entire White House loses power.
These surveillance videos captured all the facts in full, and they are also the materials that Washington News wants this time.
After two hours of emergency editing, they finally released the news to all online media as quickly as possible and inserted it into all TV programs.
This news shocked the whole country as soon as it was released!
This is the most horrific assassination since the assassination of Kennedy, and judging from the surveillance footage shown on TV news, the person who assassinated the president this time was none other than the superhero who was rumored to have escaped from prison some time ago!
But no one could blame Wilson for this. The surveillance video not only captured the scene of Speedmaster assassinating the president, but also captured President Wilson's heroic counterattack before that. He successfully stabbed Speedmaster and injured him.
Speedmaster can be hurt!
The discovery of this fact may be more important than the assassination of the president itself. It proves that the Speedmaster is not invincible and even mortals can hurt him.
"I will inherit my father's legacy and continue to fight the Syndicate to the end! I will not be intimidated by any form of threat! Even if Speedmaster appears before me now."
In front of the TV screen, Ross said with a determined look on his face.
People sympathize with the girl who just lost her father, and admire her courage to fight against Superman under the current circumstances. Perhaps after Wilson's death, his daughter will be able to take over his banner and continue to fight against the super criminals who threaten all mankind.
So those sympathizers cast their votes for her.
Not only the ballots in the hands of passers-by, but also those voters who originally chose Wilson switched their positions and cast their votes for Ross.
