As everyone knows, the role of the United States Government in film and television works is to forcefully increase the difficulty for the protagonist team.
It was clearly an easy mode, but under a series of breathtaking operations by this group of pig teammates, it was forcibly turned into hell mode.
Not to mention anything else, just in this world, they actually sealed Superman, the only big daddy, and conducted various experiments on him, which is simply repeatedly lateral jumping on the edge of courting death.
If they accidentally make Clark turn dark, Wonder Woman and Aquaman will all have to step aside by then.
Speaking of fancy ways to court death, looking across the entire Universe, the United States Government is truly one of a kind.
Darian didn't pay much attention to this little episode.
He turned his head and looked at Clark: "Clark, are you interested in joining the Avengers?"
"Clark?"
Clark was stunned for a moment, his expression a bit confused.
Darian then realized that the name Clark was given by the Kent couple.
But Clark in this timeline was not adopted by the Kent family, and has been locked in underground facilities since childhood, so naturally he is not called by this name.
Darian corrected: "If you don't like it, calling you Karl is fine too. This is the name given to you by your biological parents."
A trace of fluctuation flashed in Clark's eyes: "My biological parents?"
"That's right, your father is Jor-El, and your mother is Raul, they both come from the Krypton, and Karl is your Krypton name."
"What on Earth is the Krypton?"
Clark knew nothing about anything, just like a hundred thousand whys, constantly throwing out all kinds of questions.
Darian had a bit of a headache; he definitely didn't want to explain questions one by one.
"Got it."
He suddenly had a The Flash of inspiration, pulled a tablet computer out of the game warehouse, and quickly opened a movie.
The name of this movie is called Superman.
"Watch this, the answers you want to know are basically inside."
Barry leaned over to take a look, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Super... Superman movie?"
Darian explained: "In other parallel Universes, Superman's story was adapted into a movie long ago, and he is the most popular superhero."
Hearing this, Barry rubbed his hands, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Um... is there a The Flash movie?"
Darian nodded: "Yes, the movie was well-filmed, but the box office bombed heavily, tied with Green Lantern, famously nicknamed the Bombing Duo."
Barry: "..."
Darian suddenly thought of something: "That's right, I also found Hal of this world, and according to the time he should be arriving soon."
Barry was stunned for a moment: "I remember Hal of this world is not Green Lantern, just an ordinary person. Wouldn't it be very dangerous to call him over?"
Darian smiled mysteriously: "Rest assured, Hal is much stronger than you imagine."
Just as Barry felt puzzled, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
"So many people."
The newcomer wore a yellow battle suit, with a tentacle-shaped logo printed on his chest, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint yellow halo.
He scratched his head, looked at everyone in the stronghold, and showed a silly smile: "Hello everyone, I am Hal Jordan, you can also call me Yellow Lantern."
Barry: "..."
Previously, Darian sent out the yellow power ring to find Hal, and after briefly explaining the current situation, Hal agreed almost without hesitation to join the Fear Corps and the Avengers, willing to contribute to guarding Earth's peace.
Of course, the necessary procedures naturally could not be omitted.
At the request of the yellow power ring, Hal shouted out the oath of the Fear Corps loudly, taking more than ten times to pass, which delayed quite a bit of time.
It wasn't because the oath was hard to recite.
It's just that for some reason, Hal always felt something was a bit strange; no matter how he shouted the oath, it didn't roll off the tongue smoothly, and only after trying more than ten times did he stumble through it.
Just like that, Hal officially joined Darian's Fear Corps and became a glorious Yellow Lantern.
However, his compatibility with the power of fear is quite high, and given time, he might just become the greatest Yellow Lantern.
Not long after, Clark had finished watching the movie.
Due to continuously absorbing the sunlight produced by the sun flower, his ability has been developed quite a bit. His dynamic vision and brain operating speed far exceed ordinary people, and directly turning on ten-times speed, he finished the entire Superman movie in an extremely short time.
After the movie finished playing, Clark's expression was somewhat complicated.
He looked at Darian and asked in a low voice: "This Clark... is it me?"
Darian said: "Not entirely, that is Superman in another parallel Universe."
Clark was silent for a few seconds, his gaze falling back onto the screen: "He is truly happy."
Compared to his own experiences, the Clark in the movie is indeed much happier.
Darian stepped forward and patted Clark's shoulder, comforting him: "You will also have these, we are all your friends."
"Friends..."
Clark repeated it in a low voice, his gaze gradually changing: "I am willing to join you, my friends."
Darian grinned: "Welcome to join us, Karl."
"Call me Clark from now on, I like this name."
"Alright, Karl."
"..."
With Clark joining the group, except for Wonder Woman and Aquaman who have already stood on the opposite side, the other core members of the original Justice League have all joined the Avengers.
Darian glanced at the mission objective; the progress had reached 5/7, and it only needed two more members to complete.
However, he was not in a hurry. What this world lacks least is superheroes and supervillains; pulling two more over casually would be enough to make up the number.
Victor had been listening from the side, and seeing that everyone had chatted almost enough, he asked: "What is our plan next?"
Darian had already thought it through: "Aquaman hid Captain Atom somewhere in the deep sea, with the risk of detonation at any time. Once detonated, the entire European continent and even Earth will be blown sky-high, so we must first find Captain Atom and rescue him."
"Things after that will be much easier. Find Wonder Woman and Aquaman, and reason with them. If they are unwilling, then reason with them physically."
With Clark here, Wonder Woman and Aquaman pose no threat at all. Once Clark absorbs enough solar energy, just roll right over them like speed bumps and it's done.
Victor nodded and said: "Captain Atom stores a large amount of energy in his body. If we can track his energy fluctuations, we should be able to lock onto his specific location very quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, his mechanical eye suddenly flashed a few times, and his expression changed drastically.
"Oh no!"
Barry hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Victor's expression was very ugly: "Latest intelligence, a large army of Atlantis was discovered near the British Isles. They are preparing to land and launch a frontal battle with the Amazons, and the scale far exceeds any previous conflict."
"This is their final decisive battle. If any accident occurs on the battlefield, Aquaman may detonate Captain Atom at any time."
Thomas had returned, instantly analyzing the situation.
Plans can't keep up with changes; this directly disrupted Darian's original arrangements.
After a brief discussion, they decided to split up and take action.
To ensure the mission proceeds smoothly, Darian and Clark, the two strongest individuals, would each lead a team.
Clark, Victor, and Hal form a team, responsible for searching for Captain Atom's specific location and rescuing him as soon as possible.
Darian, Barry, and Thomas head to Europe to stop the war between Atlantis and the Amazons.
After setting the plan, everyone said no more and immediately took action.
Darian and Barry boarded Thomas's Batwing, which was a luxury private plane, and headed straight for the battlefield of Atlantis and the Amazons.
New Themyscira.
This was originally British territory, but ever since being landed on by the Amazons, it was captured by them with thunderous force, declaring that this has been the land of the Amazons since ancient times.
Today, Diana, Queen of the Amazons, is an extreme feminist.
Since Arthur was the first man she saw, she ended up having her heart broken by a scumbag man, and from then on concluded that all men deserve to die, especially the men of Atlantis.
What is love in this world, that teaches life and death to be pledged?
In this aspect, Diana should resonate deeply with a certain Taoist nun.
Given her hatred for men, Diana ordered the execution of all males within the occupied zone, not even sparing physiological males who self-identify as women, leaving only those who are both physiologically and psychologically female.
However, Diana did not let these women off either.
She used magic methods to transform all of them into Amazon warriors, fighting for the Amazons.
Today's New Themyscira has become a human forbidden zone; anyone who approaches without authorization will be cruelly killed by Queen Diana and hung high for public display.
At this moment, the Amazon female warriors stationed on the outer perimeter were patrolling along the coastline.
Suddenly, several high-pressure water streams shot out from the sea surface, and several Amazon female warriors were pierced through on the spot, falling heavily to the ground.
Following closely, a large number of amphibious high-tech chariots surfaced from the sea. The gun muzzles on top of the chariots began to rotate, and bullets condensed from water streams crazily strafed toward the Amazon female warriors.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers wearing Atlantis tech armor emerged from the sea.
They held uniquely shaped firearms, advancing forward in coordination with the chariots, opening fire upon seeing anyone, and more and more Amazon female warriors fell to the ground.
An Amazon female warrior shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The alarm sound immediately rang out, and the coastal positions of New Themyscira fell into chaos.
Amazon female warriors rushed out from various sentry points, raised their crossbows, and shot arrows toward Atlantis soldiers.
These bows and arrows came with magic attached, easily piercing through the armor on the Atlantis soldiers.
But there were simply too many Atlantis soldiers; as soon as the front row fell, the back row immediately filled in, raising their firearms to continue shooting.
For a time, arrows flew horizontally across the coastline, water bombs splashed everywhere, and the sounds of battle cries and explosions mixed together.
On the sea surface, a burly figure walked out against the waves, wearing golden scale armor, holding a trident in his hand, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
This person is precisely the King of Atlantis, Aquaman Arthur.
In this Flashpoint timeline, Arthur was taken away by Atlantis soldiers when he was a child, and they killed his father in front of him, thus he became the tyrant of the Seven Seas, doing almost whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He looked up at the distant golden palace with icy eyes, instructing his younger brother Orm by his side: "Push the front line over. Before the sun rises, I want to see that royal palace."
Orm bowed his head to receive the order, and then more Atlantis soldiers leaped out from the sea, surging onto the coastline like a tide, quickly suppressing the Amazonians' defense line.
Within the palace, Queen Diana had already received the combat report.
She stood on the high platform of the royal palace, wearing battle armor, her cloak behind her fluttering loudly in the wind.
Diana raised the Sword of Hephaestus in her hand high, saying loudly to the Amazon warriors below: "Since the Atlanteans want to come and court death, let them know the price of angering the Amazons!"
The Amazon female warriors shouted in unison, their long swords heavily striking their shields, making a dull sound.
The war officially broke out.
Under the orders of the king and queen, Atlantis and the Amazons engaged in frantic slaughter, and the entire New Themyscira quickly turned into a meat grinder, with blood and debris everywhere.
On the other side, a luxury private plane skimmed across the low altitude of New Themyscira.
Barry leaned against the window, looking at the bloody battlefield below with a rather poor expression: "How could this be, how could Diana and Arthur do such things..."
"Get used to it. The development of each parallel Universe is different. For the same person, in some parallel Universes they are superheroes, and in others supervillains, and you are no exception."
Having traveled through multiple parallel Universes, Darian was long accustomed to this: "In certain parallel Universes, you might still be the evil The Flash demon, and the righteous and kind Reverse-The Flash sacrificed himself to defeat you."
Barry: "... This picture is too heaven-defying, simply unimaginable."
Before his voice fell, the airplane suddenly shook violently.
Bang!
Accompanied by a huge sound, the entire fuselage suddenly leaned violently to the side.
Looking through the window, half of the plane's right wing had been cut off by something, with black smoke billowing from the break.
Thomas's voice came from the cockpit: "We have encountered an attack! The aircraft body is severely damaged and is falling!"
Darian did not hesitate, backhanded and grabbed Barry and Thomas, his single wing instantly unfolding behind him, kicking open the side of the cabin and rushing out of the plane.
After a brief glide in the air, the three of them landed in a ruin, and that private plane heavily smashed into the ground in the distance, making a loud noise with flames soaring into the sky.
Before they could even catch their breath, more than a dozen figures surrounded them from all directions.
They wore standard Atlantis armor, holding high-tech rifles in their hands, with the muzzles already aimed at the three of Darian.
Seeing this, Darian took out the Spear of Longinus, cleared his throat and shouted: "I am the King of The Lost Kingdom, and this is my king's trident. Everyone give me some face and pretend you didn't see us, how about that?"
Pew pew pew pew pew—!
The Atlantis soldiers decisively pulled the triggers, and several high-pressure water streams shot toward the three of them.
Since when does a trident have only one spear point? Do they think they are idiots!?
Darian waved his hand casually, and translucent rune armor appeared on the three of them, blocking all attacks.
"Since you won't give me face, don't blame me for being impolite."
Darian snorted coldly, holding the Spear of Longinus and throwing it forward.
A bright yellow light blade condensed out of thin air, sweeping out in an arc, moving so fast that it left only a lingering shadow in the air.
The few Atlantis soldiers in front of them were caught off guard and were directly split evenly in half.
