For the United States and the future she and her father envisioned, she was willing to sell her soul to the Devil.
Waller had already made preparations. As soon as General Ross nodded, she immediately called in people from Washington News to photograph the scene and conduct a brief interview with General Ross.
Most importantly, the surveillance in Wilson's office, which had an independent battery, continued to function normally even after the entire White House lost power.
These surveillance cameras captured all the facts completely, and they were also the material Washington News wanted this time.
After two hours of emergency editing, they finally released the news at the fastest speed to all online media and broadcast it during all television programs.
And as soon as this news was released, it shocked the entire nation!
This was the most horrifying assassination since the assassination of Kennedy, and according to the surveillance footage broadcast on television news, the person who assassinated the President this time was none other than Ultraman, who was rumored to have escaped from prison a while ago!
But no one could blame Wilson for this. The surveillance video not only captured the scene of Ultraman assassinating the President but also President Wilson's heroic counterattack before that, and he successfully stabbed Ultraman, injuring him.
Ultraman can be harmed!
The discovery of this fact was perhaps more important than the President's assassination itself. It proved that Ultraman was not invincible, and even a mortal could harm him.
"I will inherit my father's will and continue to fight the Syndicate to the end! I will not be intimidated by any form of threat! Even if Ultraman appeared before me now, it would be the same."
On the television screen, General Ross said with a determined expression.
The public sympathized with this girl who had just lost her father and admired her courage to confront Ultraman in such circumstances. Perhaps after Wilson's Death, his daughter could take up his banner and continue to fight against the supercriminals who threatened all of humanity.
So those sympathizers cast their votes for her.
Not only the votes from ordinary people, but also those voters who had originally chosen Wilson shifted their allegiance and cast their votes for General Ross.
As for the other competitors, their vote counts were already vastly different from General Ross's, and now the gap had widened even further.
The 'King of Understanding' was furious. He ranted on his Facebook page, claiming that General Ross was exploiting her recently deceased father, which drew attacks from countless netizens.
What he said might have been true, but it wasn't what the public wanted to hear at the moment.
Meanwhile, the'Sleeping King' appeared indifferent to the matter. He merely offered a polite 'I'm sorry' in front of the media before continuing his nationwide campaign speeches.
The actions of these two were practically assisting General Ross, whose approval rating was rising exponentially.
On Devils Island, a small, secluded island, external information couldn't penetrate the barrier Dane had set up.
A week after Sinestro left Earth, he finally deciphered the secret of the demon spell and found a way to rewrite the 'code'.
"Are you going to Hell now? Aren't you going to test it on something first?" Zatanna was setting up the necessary items for the ritual in an open space.
"No need. I trust the results of our efforts... And I'm worried Circe... might not even let me find an experimental subject..."
Zatanna was speechless. She really wanted to say that as long as you don't spoil her, she can't do anything to you.
If Dane knew her thoughts, he would definitely say, 'I can't help it, I really can't do anything about 'Eva Green'.'
"Before that, I need to get one thing first..."
Dane said, walking into Hephaestus's palace.
"Please tell me, the smelting of Nth Metal is complete."
Hephaestus turned around, his massive body exuding a powerful oppressive presence, yet Dane regarded it as normal.
He pointed his hand towards the furnace and said, "It's in there. As per your request, I haven't forged it into a fixed shape..."
Dane jumped onto the furnace. It was enormous; even standing on its edge, Dane felt as if he were standing on a vast coastline.
Inside the furnace, Dane saw a mass of golden liquid swimming in the flames, as if alive.
Dane extended both hands, and lightning seeped from the pores on his arms, transforming into electric snakes that shot out, directly biting onto the moving golden light.
Attracted by the divine power, the golden liquid flew out of the furnace along the electric snakes and finally landed on Dane's hands, climbing up his arms with the high temperature from the furnace.
This was Nth Metal in its molten, liquid state.
Dane's divine body was not afraid of high temperatures, so the scorching molten metal felt like warm water in his hands, causing him no pain whatsoever.
Mazahs's Power included the superpower to control metal magnetism, so the Nth Metal liquid could be shaped arbitrarily in his hands.
However, this Nth Metal was in a liquid state not because its temperature had reached its melting point, but because it was endowed with the ability to liquefy during its initial design.
In Dane's design, Nth Metal was given the ability to transform between different material states.
It could exist in the usual solid state of metal, in which it was extremely strong, almost indestructible, and in this state, Nth Metal possessed the same abilities as Hawkman's equipment.
It could allow those who couldn't fly to take flight, shield against external mental attacks, enhance one's strength, speed, and agility, and amplify the power of magic when one used it.
This Nth Metal could also transform into a liquid state. In its liquid state, it still retained the magical properties of its solid state, and simultaneously possessed the characteristics of Water. In this state, Nth Metal could permeate places where only Water molecules could normally penetrate.
And because the liquid state has strong fluidity, this means that this Nth Metal can transform into any weapon shape, capable of becoming all eighteen types of weapons.
Not only that, as long as the Master of the Nth Metal possesses sufficient knowledge, it can even transform into firearms, energy projectors, or even spaceships.
Nth Metal can further transform into a gaseous state. In this state, it can even enter the pores of living beings, penetrating the body like nanoparticles.
Dane could use Nth Metal in this state to enhance his own or others' physical abilities. Of course, depending on its application, this ability could even be used to physically control others.
It could make the target's body move according to Dane's will, and the best part was that this control could be even more diversified.
Because Nth Metal itself possesses powerful magic, it can be used for magical control. Strengthening mental magic with it is a good idea.
And its particles are atomic-sized, smaller than the nanoparticles used by the Justice League, so it can enter the human body through chemical means and self-assemble into nanobots within the target, making it perfectly fine to use it entirely as nanotechnology.
Moreover, depending on the atomic size of Nth Metal, it can directly participate in the physiological activities of the human body, meaning it can even directly impersonate the circulatory system within the target's body, replacing the target's biological activities, and controlling the target's brain through biochemical reactions.
For example, it can follow oxygen molecules into the human brain and control the target's thoughts by participating in brain chemical activities.
Of course, the last method is very complex, but it will also be more secretive as a result.
In addition to these common functions, Nth Metal can also store souls, just as Nabu's soul resided in a golden helmet.
The atomic movement of Nth Metal itself also continuously absorbs vacuum zero-point energy from the surrounding void, which can be released under specific conditions.
At that time, Nth Metal could even manifest as plasma, or an even higher level of energy state.
In short, Nth Metal is extremely versatile; almost any ability you can think of can be involved in it to some degree. It can be said that by wearing this thing, Dane essentially has a self-sufficient arsenal, capable of manufacturing anything he desires.
Dane was very satisfied with it. Now the only thing to do was to make it something only he could use, or, in Eastern terms, to make it 'recognize its Master'.
Soul binding was the safest method, but this method required severing a part of one's own soul, which was actually not cost-effective. It was best to keep one's soul as complete as possible.
Therefore, Dane chose to use his own divine power to imbue this Nth Metal.
