American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

306. Clark’s Thoughts.

Early the next morning, everyone began to wake up.

In such a dire environment, the remaining heroes could not relax and rest properly. They were constantly overshadowed by despair. Even someone as strong as Superman was now plagued by nightmares.

Alex was no different. He had talked with Constantine until late at night and had slept for less than two hours before getting back up. Their time was tight; they needed to come up with a workable plan today.

Alex didn't hide his intentions; he directly shared his "interdimensional migration" plan with the heroes and hoped they could make the right judgment.

"So, Alex, you have a new Earth where we can all live!?"

Lady Shiva said, her face full of disbelief. She had thought Alex and the others were merely preparing to help them defeat Darkseid, but she never expected that Alex was planning to take them all away.

"Yes. Not only you, but all the refugees on Earth can go together. Like here, that Earth is also suffering in despair. The world's population is even less than one-thousandth of what it used to be, and most people have lost their goodness and sincerity. I need you to help rebuild that planet."

"I still can't believe it," Lady Shiva said with a wry smile.

"There's nothing unbelievable about it. There are simply too many universes; there should be quite a few like this one. It's just that we've never encountered them before," Clark said thoughtfully. He then couldn't help but add, "I'll contact Lois and have her communicate with shelters around the world to gather everyone together."

"Wait a moment, Clark. Could you repeat your plan? I still don't know how you intend to proceed," Constantine, still nursing a hangover, asked while shaking his aching head.

Clark nodded solemnly and began to explain slowly.

"I can assure you that Batman is likely not dead, but I can't say the same for the others. That is also our goal.

Previously, Apokolips launched two Apokolips engines towards Earth to extract its core, which has already led to the destruction of Earth's environment. This year, they deployed a third one, and at this rate, Earth can't hold out much longer.

So Lois and I plan to gather the remaining fighting forces on Earth to simultaneously attack the three Apokolips engines. This way, we can draw the parademons stationed on Apokolips to protect those devices, while another team takes the opportunity to enter Apokolips and destroy the central energy device there.

If our plan succeeds, the best outcome would be that all three Apokolips engines on Earth will be destroyed. While protecting Earth, we can inflict significant damage on Apokolips, making it difficult for them to gather their strength to counterattack Earth for a while."

"Hold on a second," Constantine interrupted eagerly as soon as Clark finished. "This is your 'grand plan'? What's the difference between this and a suicide mission?"

"Yeah," Batwoman Kate chimed in. "Let's not even mention how sturdy the Apokolips engines are. Even if we had a chance to destroy them, how do we fend off the swarms of parademons?"

Previously, the heroes had agreed to Lois's plan because they saw no hope. Rather than endure torment in this world every day, they'd rather die in resistance; at least that would count as a form of liberation.

But now things were different. Alex had offered them another way out. As long as they resolved the situation here, they could go to another universe to continue living.

Who would willingly choose death when there was a chance to survive?

Thus, Constantine, Kate, Barbara, and others, who had long been displeased with Clark, raised their objections in unison.

Clark was well-prepared for their rebuttals. He said, "The parademons are indeed a big problem, but as long as we can reach Apokolips, we can control those bioweapons and give them the command to return. This way, as long as everyone on Earth can hold on for a while, we can turn the tide."

"What a joke! I don't need to remind you what happened the last time you went to Apokolips," Kate frowned tightly. "I want to know, in your current state, how do you plan to face an opponent like Darkseid?"

"Maybe Alex has a way to deal with the liquid kryptonite in your body, but you have to understand that since Darkseid has liquid kryptonite, it means he has more ways to deal with you."

"I understand all of this, which is why our goal is to find a time when Darkseid is not on Apokolips," Clark said earnestly. "Lois has been in contact with an informant from Apokolips, who often provides us with information. He mentioned that Darkseid would be leaving Apokolips soon."

"An informant?"

Upon hearing Clark's words, everyone's expressions suddenly became particularly intriguing.

An informant, especially one from Apokolips, was nearly impossible to believe. No wonder they were reluctant to trust Superman; this news was simply too far-fetched and hardly credible. However, Alex didn't speak up. He knew who the so-called "informant" was; it was none other than Lex Luthor, who had been hopping between heroes and villains.

In the previous development of this universe, Luthor had set aside his prejudices and joined the Justice League, but he didn't participate in the plan to attack Apokolips and instead stayed on Earth.

When the parademons from Apokolips launched a massive attack on Earth, Luthor was the first to "surrender." He put up almost no resistance and directly offered Darkseid his eternal loyalty, becoming the representative of Apokolips on Earth.

The person who communicated directly with Luthor was the brainwashed Batman, which is why Superman could be 100% certain that Batman was not dead; this information was relayed to Lois by Luthor.

Luthor himself has no superpowers, but he is one of the smartest people in the world. His intellect is terrifyingly unparalleled, and because of this, he always manages to find the best choices in critical moments.

After assessing the situation, he decided to sacrifice the vast majority of people to gain Darkseid's trust, thus infiltrating the enemy camp and secretly passing some intelligence back to Lois and the others.

"The war that Darkseid waged against Earth was just the beginning. He has since been expanding outward, declaring war on various planets. They have already been engaged in battle with the Green Lantern Corps for months, and now Darkseid is preparing to take action himself," Clark said. "Since he plans to confront the Green Lantern Corps, this is our only opportunity. If we can break through Apokolips during this time, we may turn the tide."

The strength of the Green Lantern Corps was something everyone could see. However, Apokolips was currently too powerful. Even if the Green Lantern Corps gathered all the Green Lanterns from every sector, they still wouldn't be able to stop the parademons.

They had been holding on for months, and now the forces from Apokolips were about to reach the Green Lantern Corps' home.

Everyone began voicing their opinions. Some were reluctant to believe in the so-called informant, some questioned Clark's proposed plan, and others didn't even listen to what Clark was saying.

At that moment, Kara suddenly noticed that Alex had remained silent. Ever since he finished saying he was willing to take everyone from here to the Wasteland, he hadn't spoken again.

"What's wrong, Alex? Don't you want to say something?" Kara came up behind Alex and squeezed his shoulder.

Enjoying Kara's massage, Alex sighed deeply.

"To be honest, there's been a bit of an unexpected situation in the Wasteland. Although it's not a 'big' problem, I'm afraid I have to go back; otherwise, the federation that Old Barton and the others have worked hard to establish will suffer a devastating blow."

"What?!"

The first person to react was Ashley.

She had been unwilling to stay in the Wasteland before, but when she actually left, she realized what the Wasteland meant to her. Now, hearing that her home was in trouble, she naturally couldn't stand by idly.

"What's going on?"

Kara couldn't help but ask. She had previously thought that Hydra and Red Skull had been destroyed, so the Wasteland world should be safe. But she didn't expect that as soon as they left, problems would arise again.
