After getting off the private plane arranged by the Wayne family and walking out of the airport, Peter suddenly felt that the whole of New York had come back to life in front of his eyes! There were no ruins of Manhattan after the destruction of Skynet, and there were no military restricted areas that isolated Skynet from occupying bases. It was just like New York six years ago, suddenly reappearing from the river of time.
"Is this Metropolis?" Peter muttered to himself.
"There is no Metropolis in your world?" The Prophet was surprised. "I thought our world was very similar!"
"There is no Metropolis, and there is no Gotham City. Our super organization is called the Avengers, not the Justice League. There is no Wonder Woman, no Flash, no … Uh! … There was Superman. We have King Blackbat, not Batman. Our enemies are Loki and Thanos, and there is also Apocalypse. There is also no Joker! "
"It sounds like everyone is in trouble!" The Prophet sighed. "Our God is dead, and the God on your side is going to destroy the world!"
"Can't they be a little more obedient?"
The secrets that the Prophet had spied showed that the top-secret research on the First Prophet was originally handled by Dr. Harrison Wells of the S.T.A.R. Laboratory in Central City. Later, because of a major accident in the cutting-edge laboratory, the project was transferred to Metropolis. Interestingly, this accident resulted in the birth of another hero.
"The accident in the S.T.A.R. Laboratory in Central City was explained as a particle accelerator explosion. But in fact, it was the committee trying to find something very important to the First Prophet from another time and space, codenamed 'Origin'. Based on the information I have observed, 'Origin' may have caused the disappearance of the First Prophet's ability, or even made him 'non-existent'. "
"'Origin' can cause a space-time paradox and erase the existence of the First Prophet from the present world."
The Third Prophet sighed. "When I discovered this secret, I was very afraid and did not dare to delve deeper. But the Second Prophet must have seen more than me, so he must know more. "
"I only know that 'Origin' is protected in Metropolis, and the committee is trying to use 'Origin' to continue the existence of the First Prophet."
"Now I can tell you a top-secret information in the organization!" The Prophet was probably used to being a snitch. She no longer treated the top secret of the organization as information that must not be leaked. Her eyes flickered as if she was inexplicably guilty, but she still forcefully said, "The First Prophet rarely interferes with the development of the organization, because ever since he saved the world, he has been in a bad state."
"I'm guessing that he may have paid a huge price to save the world, which may also be the reason for the Second Prophet's ambition."
The little spider thought for a bit, then said: 「 The First Prophet changed the timeline and saved the world, which means that he actually belonged to the destroyed timeline. Although this peaceful world was created by him, he doesn't actually belong here. Is this the cause of his current state?! "
The Prophet snapped his fingers. "Smart, that's a possibility. But there were too many secrets about time! We are not sure if this is the reason … "
"Although the particle accelerator in Central City exploded, it's still not enough. However, the experiment did not fail. They still found the 'origin' from another space-time. Judging from Barry's ability, that experiment indeed had the ability to break the boundaries of space-time. It may even be the root cause of Barry's ability. "Batman lowered his hoarse voice.
Now that he appeared publicly as Bruce Wayne, he had been keeping a low profile.
"'Origin' is placed in Lex Corporation's secret laboratory …" The Prophet said to Batman. "Now you have to help us sneak in …"
"No problem. The Wayne Group and the Lex Group will reach a cooperation agreement. I can put you guys in the agreement and have you join the Lex Group's secret laboratory as collaborating scientists. However, the leader of the Lex Group, Lex Luthor, is not a simple person. I once worked with him to deal with Superman."
"He is very smart and extreme. Sometimes, we can cooperate, but he is never manipulated. In cooperation, he always tries to take the initiative. So, if you meet him, there might be trouble! "
The Prophet smiled bitterly. "Not might, there will definitely be trouble."
Bruce's expression changed. "Luthor is the committee member responsible for controlling 'origin' and completing the mission?"
The Prophet nodded. Bruce was even more afraid of this mysterious organization. He knew how crazy Luthor was. He was a calm yet crazy person who worshipped order and overthrew it. He was hostile to Superman but agreed with Nietzsche's philosophy of Superman … Rather than saying that he was hostile to Superman, it was more accurate to say that he believed that he should surpass Superman and become Superman.
He saw Superman as his future shadow, so he was also hostile to him and wanted to surpass him.
It was not normal for such a person to belong to an organization. If he was still loyal to this organization, it would be impossible. Bruce had originally thought that with the Third Prophet's ability, it would be normal for him to get the secrets of the committee members, but now that he knew that there was someone like Luthor, he did not dare to underestimate these committee members who seemed to only exist in the background.
Was it really normal for the Third Prophet to pry into the secrets of the First Prophet from these people?
Bruce felt that the ambitious person he had to deal with, from the Second Prophet and the possible First Prophet, instantly spread to the entire committee.
"If Luthor knows you, how are you going to sneak in?" the little spider interrupted.
The Prophet shook his head. "I can't contact Luthor, so only you can sneak into Lex Corporation and find 'origin'! The problem is that you have to enter the secret laboratory as an expert of the Wayne Corporation in order to have greater authority to investigate and search. This determines that you must have extremely strong scientific research ability to conquer the crazy scientists of the Lex Corporation. "
Bat said, "I will arrange for the best researcher in the group to be his assistant to help him hide his identity."
A strange expression appeared on the little spider's face. He said in a low voice, "You need me to pretend to be a scientist? But, I am a scientist! "
"You can't be called a scientist just because you have a bit of scientific knowledge. Lex Corporation is the new Cold Spring Harbor of academia. They have more than 20 Nobel Prize winners and a steady stream of new drug patents every year, accounting for 70% of the new drugs approved every year. They have very high requirements for researchers. Without real ability, it's easy to be exposed! "
Bruce was not optimistic about Peter's chances either. "Wayne Corporation was able to cooperate with Lex Corporation because we have special expertise in the field of precision machinery. Joining Lex Laboratory as a collaborating scholar will be very challenging. Only a truly world-class or even top-notch researcher will be able to keep the situation under control."
"Otherwise, it will be very ugly."
"Researchers in the cutting-edge field?" Peter hesitated. "I should be considered one!"
Thinking of Professor Chen, who had worked with him before, and the huge research team of the Holy Shield Central Plains that belonged to the Divine Spear Bureau, he felt inexplicably guilty and suddenly felt a little less confident.
Of course, this was seen by the Prophet and Bruce.
Both of them labeled Peter as an "ordinary researcher" in their hearts — Peter with ordinary research ability.
The main reason was that Peter was too young — maybe he just graduated with a PhD! Compared to ordinary people, he's a genius. But he hasn't experienced the level of a true genius in the field of research, the Prophet thought quietly.
Bruce had already begun to contact the scientific genius in the group, Lucius Fox, to help Peter disguise his identity and enter the Lex Corporation's secret laboratory.
Under the circumstances where both of them objected, the unconfident Little Spider could only obediently accept the arrangement.
After all, he was just a third-rate scientist who studied genetics, had some accomplishments in retroviruses, and had studied how xenogeneic genes could be used to supplement human genes. He had some achievements in the field of biology.
Compared to Professor Reed, Professor Stark, Professor Chen, and the scientists in the Divine Spear Bureau who easily darkened matter and massacred the entire world, high-energy physics, cold nuclear devices, developed the Crimson Mech, modified the Blade Warrior, modified many descended bodies, created the Superman Serum, indirectly created the Doomsday Virus, and developed cheats, Peter was far inferior.
Speaking of which, he was only at the level of a research laborer, far inferior to the little boss in charge of a project in the Divine Spear Bureau.
The Little Spider had participated in the research work of the Holy Shield's development of the spider suit. At that time, as a research laborer and experimental mouse, he joined the Spider Sense research team and had a deep impression of the little boss in charge of the Spider Sense research. In order to expand the application of the Spider Sense, this person memorized the characteristics of the Spider Sense in his brain and created an anti-spider mechanism without any equipment.
In close combat, he defeated the Little Spider with the physical fitness of an ordinary person.
After he understood the mechanism of the Spider Sense like the back of his hand, he created a misleading tactic. With the ability to deceive the Little Spider, he made the Little Spider interfere with itself. Its strength could not be exerted at all, and the Spider Sense became a shackle that limited the Little Spider's physical fitness. It became the little boss' weapon.
Since then, Peter obediently accepted the research work in the Holy Shield and did not dare to try to gain leadership of his own project.
After a long period of study, after the Spider Suit was developed, the person in charge of the project, the little boss, finally recognized that the Little Spider had the qualifications to independently lead a small project in the Divine Spear Bureau.
At that time, Peter could not help but feel happy as if he had finally graduated.
