American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 696 Luther Q&A
Although I have experienced traveling to other worlds before, this is the first time I have actually come to the universe controlled by Zhang Ye.

Dean and Sam are very familiar with the heroes of the wasteland and have become friends with each other, but before it was always the heroes who went to their world. This time, it is finally the turn of the two brothers to come to the wasteland to wander around.

Zhang Ye hasn't been back here for a while. Fortunately, Pietro and others helped him get acquainted with the route. This time when he came back, Zhang Ye took Dean and Sam directly to the federal building.

When passing by the central square, Dean and Sam saw the magnificent huge statue with their own eyes. Looking at the heroic figures on it, the two were shocked.

Of course, the two brothers also questioned why Zhang Ye did not show his face. Zhang Ye did not want to explain too much about this, and just used the excuse that there was a special magic circle engraved on it.

When they led the two brothers, who were looking around curiously, to the Federal Building, the masked lady had been waiting for a long time at the door.

"Mr. Zhang Ye, Luther sent me to handle the reception. He is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me."

Looking at the masked lady who had gotten rid of her mental illness, Zhang Ye found that this girl was becoming more and more intellectual and beautiful. Working under Luther was really a good choice for her.

"Lead the way."

Following the masked lady, I walked to the independent elevator, which was a special elevator specially built to go directly to the top floor. Generally speaking, only people with special identities can take it.

The outer wall of the elevator is made of special materials with extremely high protective properties. The inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the scene outside the window can be clearly seen from the inside.

Zhang Ye has a broad vision and is no longer surprised by these things, but Dean and Sam are different. They have encountered a lot of fantasy things, but not so many technological ones.

Seeing the scene outside the window rapidly descending and getting farther and farther away from the ground, Dean, who was a little afraid of heights, couldn't help but stand inside.

"Don't worry, this elevator is very safe. Even missiles cannot destroy its outer wall." Noticing Dean's actions, the masked lady spoke lightly.

Hearing this, Dean just smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

The elevator was very fast. After less than ten seconds, the elevator door slowly opened and everyone arrived at the top floor of the Federal Building, where Luther worked.

The masked lady walked out of the elevator first, leading the three people straight to the innermost part. The entire hall was empty and the only sound of people's footsteps was the silence.

Finally, the masked lady stopped at the door of Luther's office and made a gesture of invitation.

"Lord Luther is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you."

Zhang Ye nodded. He hadn’t been back for a long time, and things here were becoming more and more regular.

Pushing open the door of the office, Luther was buried in a pile of folders. Judging from his tired face, he must have been busy all night again.

Hearing the noise, Luther knew that Zhang Ye had come, but he did not immediately stand up to greet him. Instead, he solemnly looked over the document in his hand again, signed it, and then slowly raised his head.

"Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately and don't have time to arrange a meeting room."

"That's okay. We've been discussing business in your office all the time." Zhang Ye smiled and didn't treat Luther as an outsider. He just pulled out a chair and sat down.

Luther was not very reserved. This was not the first time he and Zhang Ye had met, and he had figured out Zhang Ye's character. "I heard from Petra about the universe where the old Wolverine lived. It was simply unimaginable."

"It's okay. I haven't encountered many simple things in all these years." Zhang Ye sighed. Now he could finally relax a little.

Luther took off his glasses and looked at Dean and Sam who were a little bit at a loss, then turned his gaze back to Zhang Ye. "From your looks, has the matter been resolved?"

"It's solved, I guess." Zhang Ye replied.

"What do you mean by 'sort of'?" Luther frowned.

"The trouble over there has been dealt with, but the problem here has not been resolved yet. That's why I rushed back in such a hurry." Zhang Ye shook his head.

"You mean, someone wants to attack us?" A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Luther's eyes.

"You can say that."

Zhang Ye did not deny it, but continued in a deep voice.

"This time in that world, I fought with a group of evil observers. Although I solved one of them, I am worried that the remaining dark observers will reach out to us." "He dares!" Luther stood up suddenly, and there was no trace of fatigue in his temperament.

Seeing Luther's big reaction, Zhang Ye waved his hand to calm him down. "They really don't dare to do it openly. After all, the supervisors I established are no joke. But if they point their spearheads at other places, it's hard to say."

After hearing Zhang Ye's words, Luther pondered for a while, and then he quickly understood what the other party wanted to express.

"You mean, their target is Flashpoint Universe 1?"

Zhang Ye nodded slightly, but after a pause, he spoke again.

"Of course this is just a guess. I haven't figured out what they are trying to do yet, but we still need to make the necessary preparations, especially now that our two universes are in such a 'critical' situation."

Luthor also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Ye's statement. "Indeed, according to the information sent back by Batman, Darkseid has assembled an army and sent some demon-like vanguards to Earth. Now that Earth has also begun preparing for war, and the two sides are already at the point of drawing swords."

"Darkseid is still not ready to let go of the Earth?" Zhang Ye pursed his lips.

"Difficult. Batman discovered a special substance on the surface of the earth in the Flashpoint One universe. It is a special energy that is difficult to observe and has a great repulsion to all matter in the world. He guessed that Darkseid's target is most likely that." Luthor crossed his fingers and spoke.

'Special substances on the Earth's surface'

Zhang Ye thought about this sentence carefully, and soon he recalled some clues from his memory. When he was watching DC movies in his previous life, there were rumors that an anti-life equation was engraved on the surface of the earth, and this was why Darkseid decided to attack the earth at all costs.

In the comics, the life equation is the beginning of all creation and the source of life for all living things in the positive matter universe. It is scattered throughout the universe, integrated into all things, and has its shadow in every life.

But the Anti-Life Equation is just the opposite. It is the origin of the antimatter universe, and the Anti-Life Equation exists alone in the center of the antimatter universe, which is the legendary star Kovad.

According to legend, the Anti-Life Equation is the most powerful weapon in the universe. It can forcibly manipulate and influence the minds of others, making them submit to the user of the equation.

However, some people say that what is engraved on the earth is the Omega effect, which is the main source of combat power inherited by Darkseid as the new god. However, this speculation was soon shattered because the Omega effect was inherited by Darkseid on Apokolips and has nothing to do with the earth.

"So, you guess that the Earth in the Flashpoint Universe 1 is engraved with the most powerful weapon in that universe, and this is also the main reason why Darkseid wants to conquer the Earth?" Luthor asked doubtfully.

"It is very likely. In ancient times, Darkseid once led his troops to attack the Earth. However, at that time, the Earth was full of gods. The Olympus Realm headed by Zeus led all civilizations on Earth to participate in the war and defeated Darkseid head-on. This was also the first time Darkseid failed since he conquered the city."

"During that war, Darkseid lost two of the most crucial things. One was the Mother Boxes. Three Mother Boxes, which symbolized the highest technological level of Apokolips, were seized by Earth civilization and fell into a deep sleep. The second one was the coordinates of the Earth, which made Darkseid unable to find the location of the Earth for thousands of years."

Zhang Ye talked about his understanding of that universe. "After his defeat, Darkseid returned to Apokolips, where he launched a holy war, conquered everyone with his power, and inherited the Omega Effect, becoming the most dangerous new god in the universe."

"The fall of the old gods and the lack of Earth's defenses caused the Mother Box to be reactivated. It was also because of this that Darkseid, who had obtained the location of the Mother Box, also regained the coordinates of the Earth. The previous invasion of Steppenwolf should be his test of the Earth. He wanted to see how strong the current guardians on Earth are."

"I didn't expect that universe had such a past." Luthor nodded thoughtfully. He had come into contact with Darkseid before, and the other party's strength was definitely beyond the imagination of mortals. If he really got the Anti-Life Equation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"After Darkseid's previous failures, he will definitely not act rashly this time. He will not act unless he is absolutely sure. Since he is ready to fight, this shows that..."

Luther frowned.

"He should be ready to go to war with Earth and win the war."

At this point, Luther couldn't help but look up at Zhang Ye. "Zhang Ye, you've also been in that universe before. With your strength, can't you defeat Darkseid?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ye thought about it seriously.

"If it weren't for Darkseid's real self showing up, He would definitely not be my opponent. But the problem is, if the Dark Watchers are involved, I'm afraid they will cause another big mess. Now the key issue is that we need to figure out whether the thing on the surface of the earth is the anti-life equation."

"and many more."

At this moment, Sam, who had been silent all this time, suddenly thought of something.

"Anti-Life Equation. This effect is a bit strange. I didn't think so much about it at first, but after experiencing Lao Lang's universe, Zhang Ye, don't you think that the effect of the Anti-Life Equation in affecting other people's will is a bit strange?

Or let me put it another way, isn't this thing a bit like the pollution you've been dealing with?"
