The office door was unexpectedly kicked open. Since the Suicide Squad leader had the power to do so, he stood in front of the desk, hands on the table, and shouted angrily.
"My child! Who took my child away!"
His eyes were bloodshot, his death arrow was on the verge of going out of control. His most precious possession was his child, which was the only reason he could still hold on. But no one answered the phone in the morning. He asked his friend to go to his house to check on the situation and found that the house was in a state of disrepair and his child had been taken away.
"Don't panic, Floyd, your children are not in mortal danger, they just want some money!"
The composed Amanda Waller pushed the letter toward Deadshot, who quickly opened and read it, then grew even angrier, slamming his hands on the table.
"Damn bastards! They dare to threaten me! They dare to threaten me!"
$2000 million. The adversaries knew Suicide's identity, so they kidnapped Suicide's son. The money had to be prepared within five days, or the adversaries would kill him. There was no information, no clues, and no way to find the enemy. Even though Suicide was under government surveillance as an assassin, this kind of extortion experience was truly a first for him.
"I will solve this problem, and all you have to do is listen!"
Amanda Waller stared coldly at the Death Gunner, warning him. The Death Gunner knew what Amanda Waller meant; he had only been upset because he had seen his son humiliated in front of him. But if the Death Gunner did anything crazy again, he shouldn't blame Amanda Waller for turning her back on him.
“If my child dies, Amanda Waller, you’ll regret what you’re saying!”
Straightening his clothes and taking a deep breath to calm himself down, the Death Gunman exchanged a glance with Amanda Waller. The serial killer turned and immediately left Amanda Waller's office, leaving two waiting soldiers to take him to his cell with high-voltage handcuffs.
The red flash still carries the same words: five million happy children. If yesterday Death Shooter thought it was a prank, now it's very clear: someone has infiltrated the superpower's prison, and the other side must take action to completely destroy it.
Lying there with his eyes closed, Deathshooter did not hesitate. His child should not be in danger. For his child, Deathshooter was even willing to give his own life. Now Deathshooter knew the choice he had to make.
“Miss Karen, I want to tell you something. Your husband has returned to his homeland, France, and is under our control. I’m not here to threaten you, I just want to tell you about your husband. If you swear allegiance to the United States at the American Justice League meeting in a few weeks, we will allow you to meet again as husband and wife.”
Steve Trevor went to Karen Starr with a clear conscience and handed the false report to someone else. Fortunately, Karen Starr was a relatively gentle and tolerant person in life. If it had been Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor really didn't know what the final result would have been.
“Mr. Steve, all I want is for my husband to be safe. I don’t even want to be a superhero!”
"I'm sorry, you have no choice."
The American Justice League is unstoppable in this regard; if a nation is determined to do something, it must do it to the best of its ability. The Justice League needs this type of person.
Of course, Steve Trevor's potential may not even be apparent to him. Karen Starr is a bully, and the state's attitude towards such people is inexhaustible: take their benefits first and then make plans. Such people cannot and will not disobey the state's orders; they need the state, and they must pay the price for their actions, otherwise they will certainly be regarded as enemies by the state.
Chapter 368 The Fall of the Eagle Man
In the vast mountains of Yellowstone's Grand Canyon in central America, Deathstroke led his team to a shelter in the shadows of the rocky landscape. They prepared their gear and sat on a bench to gather their strength. They were heading to Washington to receive their award.
The American Justice League is an organization representing the American government and engaging in official-civilian exchanges. All its members are extremely powerful super-soldier freaks. America.
"The captain has spotted it!"
The person behind the information desk spoke. Dastrok quickly stood up, walked to the radar, and saw a red dot approaching, moving in a straight line like a bird. This must be the target to be eliminated. If it wasn't Hawkman, he turned to the other person and said...
"I spent three million building these nylon ropes, you bastards have to—aim some for me!"
"Don't worry, Captain, he won't leave!"
The man responded confidently, turned and left. Deathstroke walked to the armored vehicle, took out a black box, a large military box about one and a half feet in size, entered the password, opened the box, and a black, yellow and red skull-shaped outer layer appeared. Deathstroke's lips creased, and he quickly entered the serial number information. The identification system scanned Deathstroke's fingerprints, eyes and face.
But Deathstroke quickly adapted to the change. The artificial intelligence assistance system activated, and his rapid dodging and attacking movements were faster than his own reflexes. This boosted Deathstroke's confidence to an extreme degree; he even wondered if he could compete with Superman if he wore the armor.
In the distance, Hawkman flew low over the trees, enjoying the freedom nature had given him: the vast sky was free from the pollution of modern society, and the boundless forest exuded a pleasant atmosphere. The eagle-man heard a snapping sound, quickly adjusted his course, and pinpointed the direction of the sound. With a clang, a large net suddenly flew out of the forest, heading straight for the eagle-man.
He swiftly drew his spiked hammer from his belt and unleashed a bolt of lightning, blasting away a large net. A series of dimensional strikes knocked Hawkman to the ground. Before he could even land, he was ambushed again, another large net catching him and pinning him to the ground, rendering Hawkman unable to take off or move. A dozen mercenaries armed with heavy machine guns quickly surrounded him.
As they spoke, a barrage of bullets rained down relentlessly. The eagle-man's body and equipment were strong, and the gunshot wounds from the bullets were not deep. However, even so, he could not withstand the continuous, uninterrupted onslaught. His wolf-tooth hand hammer swung like lightning, unleashing the mercenary's attack amidst arcs of electricity.
The anti-gravity zone spread out, and with the burst of electric arcs, an invisible vibration covered a radius of one hundred meters. The five times the normal pressure caused the surrounding mercenaries to collectively collapse, their bodies slammed to the ground as if by a heavy hammer, unable to move. A black flash approached from afar. The Eagleman, unable to break free from the high-strength nylon rope net, was too slow. When Deathstroke rushed into the gravity zone, there was no delay. The Eagleman had no choice but to simply swing his warhammer and confront the enemy. The battle continued.
when...
Eagleman's rapid recovery and physical strength were key factors; however, Eagleman and Deathstroke engaged in a physical game, seeing who could wear the other down to exhaustion, and who would remain standing until the end would be the ultimate winner.
"who are you!"
Hawkman, wielding a longsword, uppercut, and wolf-tooth hammer, was slashed in the stomach by his opponent. He kicked at the Deathstroke fur, staggering several meters away. Watching his wound gradually heal, Hawkman couldn't contain his rage. In his mind, enemies were always aliens and natives, but this group didn't seem to fit either of those descriptions. What infuriated Hawkman even more was that they seemed remarkably familiar with him. This tit-for-tat combat strategy effectively limited all his advantages.
"you do not need to know!"
Shaking off the blood from his blade, Dastrok shook his head, responding coldly, and launched a new charge. His twin blades crossed and thrust forward in front of him. The eagle-man swung his weapon forcefully, gripping the wolf bone hammer with both hands. The force of the strike pulled Dastrok's robot backward, panting. The robot behind Dastrok activated its rocket engine, pushing aside the incoming Dastrok and ramming into him again.

Wolf's hammer was also extremely powerful. Despite Eagleman's best efforts, the second blow finally broke Datstroke's longsword. However, before Eagleman could take the next step, Datstroke had already detached from the robot. The robot then attached itself to Eagleman in reverse. As Eagleman tried to tear the robot off, the fallen Datstroke quickly pulled out a detonator from his waist and pressed it.
Boom...
The explosion was powerful; he had already turned and run five meters away, but was still blasted and rolled thirty or forty meters away, pain coursing through his body. The eagle-man, slightly raised, stood motionless, his flesh mangled and bones trembling slightly, but he wasn't destroyed by the explosion. Deathstroke, somewhat speechless, pulled out his communicator and pressed the switch.
...... ..... 0
"Secure the Eagleman's location; we have no other solution for him."
The eagle-man tried to move, but his body was still recovering. The aura of death was palpable, and a burning sensation emanated from the top of his head.
After the eight-second laser disappeared, Deathstroke stood up and looked around. There wasn't even a single fragment left. This was the last weapon his boss had given him. Unfortunately, his boss wanted 22 million for a set of robots, and if he wanted it, he would have to pay for it himself.
...
"Are you ok?"
His pale face indicated that he was physically exhausted. Even though he had absorbed Kryptonian blood, he had not fully digested it. The release of his Second Sense was still somewhat unsatisfactory. It should be noted that the full power of the Second Sense was comparable to the combined power of the entire body plus Bogar. However, Xu Fu was only using one-tenth of his power when he released his vision.
"It's alright, but the burden is still heavy."
Because of the remote release of the Second Sense, all that was needed was for Xu Fu to consume energy due to the military satellite, and the Eagle Man himself was blown up alive. This seemed a bit one-sided, but it was not an unacceptable result.
"I want to see how many more superheroes will appear and join 'Beautiful Country Justice' here." (8.)
Chapter 369 The Evolution of Batman
"The Eagleman has been killed!"
More than three weeks have passed since the last Tomb Raider incident, but the Justice League is in a state of disarray. David Grave, the Tomb Raider, is sympathetic, but no one can condone his actions. It's not about David Grave himself, but rather the curse he placed on him before his death.
Justice will crumble; after all, you are only mortals, and you cannot save anyone!
The curse is one, but it carries a very strange energy. Batman, Superman, and even Green Lantern have all been affected and have traveled to Oa to try to find a way to break the curse. However, the presence of this toxin-like spiritual substance seems impossible to wash away, causing the entire Justice League to give up.
Otherwise, Karen Starr wouldn't have so readily accepted the "invitation" from "980" government officials, while Superman and others chose to remain silent, as is often the case. It's just that Karen's husband himself hasn't figured out where he is.
"This is the second superhero to be killed after Cyborg. Batman, we can't go on like this."
"Neo was imprisoned in Superman's prison, just northwest of Chicago, and they planned to use Neo as a long-term threat to Karen Starr."
Superman wanted Batman to plan an operation to track down the bad guys who were hunting superheroes, but Batman changed the subject and told Superman where Neo was. Superman hesitated for a moment and then asked...
"You can't find the enemy?"
"I might be wrong. The enemy's purpose in killing Cyborg wasn't to infiltrate us, but to block our access to outside information. Didn't you notice that Cyborg's death was very similar to Hawkman's? He was also a person, and he also disappeared suddenly. Later, the battlefield was discovered, but no important information could be found. The enemy cleaned up the battlefield very professionally and disappeared from our sight without us noticing. They have excellent control over network information and can even switch our perspective at will."
Batman changed the subject because there were no clues, the enemy had perfectly blocked all information leaks, Cyborg's death left the Justice League without eyes and ears, making it completely impossible for Batman alone to truly control the super artificial intelligence system. Batman resisted this, but had to admit, sometimes it was too good to be true.
The enemy's technology is formidable, like a slow, steady attack chasing after a superhero. But what Batman can't understand is why they're killing Hawkman, who was one-eighth of Cyborg's life. If it's not aimed at the Justice League, then is the killing campaign targeting the Justice League itself, or perhaps Mysterio?
"Never mind that for now. I think the most important thing right now is to release Karen Starr's husband, Superman. Although you've chosen to concede, I want to remind you that Karen Starr is always safer on our side than on the government's side."
Batman warns Superman of the error of this compromise, but Superman hesitates because the Justice League's power is uncontrollable. It is rooted in the United States but ignores American laws and speaks directly to the United Nations, which is tantamount to overstepping the authority of the American government. Moreover, public opinion is a very sensitive topic. People often dislike the Justice League because of jealousy or other factors. There must be some middle ground, and Superman must be careful with every step he takes.
"The consequences of doing so... could be misleading."
"They put an innocent man in jail, yet they threaten a woman who could become a superhero. Do you think Wonder Woman would pull out a knife and attack Steve Trevor if she found out?"
"..."
Wonder Woman was unaware of the formation of the Justice League in America. In fact, she left the Justice League after the Tomb Raider arc without a word of greeting. After returning to Themyscira, she never contacted them again. Of course, the Justice League's relationship still existed, but Wonder Woman seemed to have her own troublesome issues and didn't want Superman and the others to get involved, so she was quite proud.
Two points in Batman's words are crucial: Callum is threatened, and Neo is under house arrest. This insidious tactic is very reminiscent of Amanda Waller, the most ruthless and vicious woman in the world. Superman knows this well, which is why he's so suspicious; he himself could easily be used to smear her.
“My plan is for you to go alone, break into the prison, and take Neo directly out. Wonder Woman will go to Steve Trevor and demand his release, along with Green Lantern, who will act as a lubricant. Meanwhile, I will go to Amanda Waller. Once that woman’s attention is on me, you and Wonder Woman will act in sync as Neo comes into Karen Starr’s sights. Nothing will get in anyone’s way.”
Superman's silence infuriated Batman. This guy's fussiness was just like a woman's. Superman was too kind. Of course, his stubbornness and subjective judgment also displeased Batman, but the Justice League needed Superman. His kindness truly deserved respect and existence. Compared to himself, Batman felt that he lacked courage, at least within the Justice League. After all, Batman was already forty-five years old this year. How many more years could he fight? How many more years could he fight?
"Didn't you suspect Neo was a bad guy before? Why are you suddenly asking Neo for help now? That's it!"
Batman's suggestion surprised Superman once again; his attitude towards Neo seemed to have completely changed. It wasn't long before Batman explained that he didn't entirely trust Neo, but Neo's anger after Cullen's capture and his 0.8 behavior of not cooperating with the state had finally established his status as a civilian, and civilians were not to be valued.
Some of the suspicions have also shifted. Batman has abandoned the possibility of a potential, impossible threat and instead sought traces of a more dangerous enemy. Neo remains a suspect, but based on current assessments, the probability of him being a possible enemy is now so small in Batman's mind that it can be ignored.
"Since I don't want to keep managing all that damn computer information, a separate logistics management department could alleviate our current information stagnation."
"Okay, I thank you on Karen's behalf."
"Hopefully Neo has something of value that we can use."
Chapter 370 Thunderous Unicorn
Two days had passed when the seven-colored rays of the Rainbow Bridge reappeared.
Thor carried the corpse of the purple thunder dragon as he emerged from the seven-colored pillar of light.
"Hey Thor, why did you drag a giant lizard in here? Look how awful my workshop is from the lizard's blood!"
Aite immediately understood Thor's thoughts and reprimanded him without hesitation.
This displeased Thor, who replied, "You said you needed the heart of the Thunder Dragon, and I was worried that I would damage it when I took the material, so I gave it to you intact."
With a cold snort, Ettore tore open the Thunder Dragon's chest with his bare hands and ripped out its heart.
