The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3533 Research on Cats and Dogs (End)

Superman put a cup of coffee in front of Batman, which interrupted his thoughts. He looked at Superman and returned to his thoughts. Superman smiled helplessly.

"I was wondering… Clark, have you ever thought about rebuilding Krypton?"

"Why do you ask suddenly?" Superman looked at him and said.

"I'm just talking about a possibility." Batman stroked his coffee cup with his fingers. He said, "You've also used the Central Codex. Perhaps we can also try Krypton's method to help you reproduce..."

"Bruce, I don't know what you mean by that. If you want me to emphasize again that 'you are my family', I'd be happy to..."

"No, I'm serious," Batman said. "I'm not discussing human or Kryptonian identity with you. I'm saying, why don't we revive Krypton?"

"Oh my god, I should record what you said and play it on the big screen in the Luther Group building. Then he should change the building."

Batman put a hand on Superman's shoulder and said, "It won't hurt us, will it?"

"But there's no benefit." Superman said, "What's the benefit of spending so much manpower and resources to help the revival of aliens on an extremely distant planet?"

"If I help you, you'll help me. Will you?"

Superman opened his mouth, then said, "If it were the kids, they'd probably thank you. Maybe those crazy people who want to revive Krypton would thank you, too."

Batman slowly turned back, holding the coffee cup in both hands and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "I was thinking before."

"Thinking about what?"

“Why do you think China should help Africa?”

The topic changed so quickly that Superman didn't react for a moment and looked at Batman in confusion.

"I mean, we can make this analogy." Batman gestured and said, "The Earth is like China, and Krypton is like Africa. Over the past few decades, that Eastern country, which is not very rich, has invested a lot of financial resources and energy in Africa. Why did they do this?"

"Uh, for the UN vote?"

“That may be one of the reasons, or one of the immediate benefits, but there are also many long-term benefits.”

"for example?"

"For example, we can find something for many people to do." Batman said after taking a sip of coffee, "For example, we can sell our products to them, or buy their raw materials back, and then provide our own people with cheaper and better products."

"That does make sense, but I'm afraid that trade between humans and Krypton is impossible, right?"

"Of course you can't do that now, but didn't you fly all over the universe before? Humans will be able to do that one day."

Superman fell silent, as if convinced. But soon he spoke again: "What if the Kryptonians are not so friendly?"

"I believe that you are kind by nature. If you know who helped you, you will be willing to remain friendly. And I don't expect you to recover to your heyday overnight and give us much in return. As long as the earth itself becomes stronger, those few unfriendly individuals among you will not be able to cause any trouble."

"This is no small matter," said Superman. "The human life span is too short. Krypton may not change significantly until you die. And you may have to invest the rest of your life."

"Not me, but us," Batman said. "We can find something for the Justice League to do, and help our members restore their former home. After all, that's no reason to refuse to help, right?"

"That's because you want to recover, not because I want to recover." Superman sighed and said, "In fact, sometimes I also wonder what it would be like if I grew up on Krypton. But obviously, the result of the imagination is not very good, or it is far from as good as it is now."

Batman smiled at him, put the coffee cup to his lips, and said, "I just thought it was worth considering. Maybe you wouldn't mind raising a bunch of kids."

Then, Batman suddenly put down the cup and said, "And Hal, I mean the Hal in our universe, he is simply too unreasonable. I once asked him if there is any assessment system within the Green Lantern and whether he can be promoted, but he always fooled me. Don't try to fool me this time."

"Of course, there's also our dear Amazon Princess. What's going on with that whole family on Mount Olympus? She's obviously a princess, so why doesn't she seem to like going back?"

"This is bad," said Superman. "It looks like you're going to keep us busy like a top for the next while."

"I just think it's unfair!" Batman slammed the table hard, and then said, "I never thought that my Justice League would be the strongest in the universe, but I don't want to be the last one!"

"I think you should know that the Justice League in most universes is similar to us. This universe is the exception."

"Yes, but if they have been to this universe, they will definitely take some action. They may have started a long time ago, and we should be too late!" Batman said in a raised voice.

"Alright, Bruce, calm down." Superman patted him on the back and said, "I believe it's not too late for us. If you must do this, I will support you."

Looking into Superman's blue eyes, Batman sighed and said, "What did you just say?"

"What? I'll support you?"

"Further ahead..."

"You know I don't want to discuss the UN vote."

"I mean further ahead, did you say 'I am your family'? Can you say that again?"

"No, I didn't."

"Did you feel like crying?"

"I don't!"

On the rooftop of the Luthor Building, two figures stood on the edge of the building. Batman stood with one foot on the edge of the stairs. He looked into the distance and said, "I am beginning to understand you a little bit."

Injustice Superman turned his head suddenly, but he felt his heart was empty. The surprise, anger, resentment and joy that should have appeared were gone.

His emotional system was like using a dip net to scoop up a pond with no fish at all. There was nothing in it, and he could not catch anything. So he could only turn his head back stiffly and pretend that nothing had happened.

"But you didn't do a good enough job," said Injustice Batman. "If we take your domination of the Earth as a fait accompli, you did a terrible job."

More emotions that should have appeared did not appear, and Injustice Superman felt like he was going crazy.

"Do you feel bad?" The Injustice Batman raised his lips slightly and said, "Don't be so childish, Clark. Don't play that ridiculous game of 'If I'm angry, I'll always turn my back to you'."

"Do you think I'm funny?"

"I didn't say that. I just think that you keeping your feelings bottled up isn't conducive to our conversation."

"If it's not good for you, it's not good for us. That's your logic all the time."

"That's the truth," said Bad Batman. "It's not good for me, and it's not good for us."

"What about me? If it's not good for me, how can it be good for us?"

"No, Clark, no." The Injustice Batman shook his head slightly and said, "Anything that is not good for you cannot be good for us. Don't you already know this?"

Unjust Superman's heart sank slowly, but it could not reach the bottom. There was nothing underneath and he could not touch anything.

"I still have to say this." The Unjust Batman turned around and looked at him, "If you take your rule over the earth as an established fact, you are not doing a good enough job."

"Are you trying to say that this is what you object to?"

"I mean, when we first met, it was your strength that convinced me that you were a person worthy of my respect. And at this moment, the thing that can prove that everything you do is right is a better earth. And you didn't give it to me, so what can I use to convince myself?"

Injustice Superman was almost defeated in an instant, but he had nothing to be defeated. He just stood there, like a piece of ice that began to melt before it broke, his brain flowing down his spine and his heart spreading to his internal organs.

"You were the one who said I shouldn't have killed the Joker! You said I was wrong! Even after what I went through, you refused to stand by me."

"But you're not on my side either," said Injustice Batman, "even though I experienced this tragedy decades earlier than you."

Unjust Superman was suddenly speechless.

"Neither of us is on the other's side, so we are rivals now. Just like when we first met, I doubted you and you were wary of me. But this time you didn't give me something to calm me down, like the first time I saw your eyes could shoot lasers. Have you ever done that?"

Injustice Superman suddenly flew up, and he flew in front of Injustice Batman and faced him. He looked at Batman with his particularly indifferent light blue eyes and said:

"If I give it to you, will you accept it? Or will you still side with others and accuse me of being a tyrant?"

"Whose side are you on?"

“…these opponents.”

"Why would there be naysayers?" Injustice Batman looked him in the eye and said, "If you do good enough, who should I stand against you?"

"Clark, you never realized that I am just an ordinary human being. It is precisely what you have done that has given me the opportunity to stand here against you and even have a group of supporters."

Unjust Superman slowly clenched his fist and said, "That's because you are good at deceiving people, Batman."

"So why don't I rule the Earth?"

Injustice Superman slowly closed his eyes and exhaled, then he opened his eyes again and stared at Injustice Batman and said, "If I can be a good ruler, will you stand by me?"

"Don't expect my promise, but leave me no choice."

Inside Luthor Building, Hal is telling Oliver the results of his negotiations with Zod.

"…After he recovers, I will take out the Central Codex, then go to the Phantom Zone to pick up his family, get the breeding equipment, return to Krypton, and choose a good place to set up a base."

"We will set up a Green Lantern Corps outpost on the nearest satellite to help them keep watch. He will first try to clean up and repair the breeding center controlled by the Council, and maybe find the technology to accelerate the ripening process."

"Once he trains the right Kryptonian warriors, I will find a way to give them Green Lantern positions..."

Oliver nodded repeatedly, and he also felt that this was a very good deal. After listening, he said, "It seems that this invasion incident has come to an end. Call everyone and we will hold a summary meeting later..."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp and piercing alarm sounded from Hal's communication device:
"Warning—warning—"

"Mercury Base has been attacked! Mercury Base has been attacked! The comprehensive defense system has been activated..."

"The outer energy shield has been breached! The middle defense shield has been breached! The gravity maintenance system has failed!"

"The core energy is under attack! The core energy efficiency is 95%... 51%... 9%..."

"Energy supply to Mercury base is interrupted. Comprehensive gravitational disturbance detected. Countdown to base disintegration: 3...2...1... The base has disintegrated."
