Superman was already decades old, and had been on Earth the whole time. He had never gone out to "space travel."
It could only be said that human thought patterns were always so inexplicable, and couldn't be changed with just a few words.
That was because eliminating certain established situations before thinking was a more realistic and efficient choice, and could avoid having to re-understand everything.
It was like when you saw a woman with long, wavy hair, you wouldn't immediately think of her as Eagle Cutie — except on special occasions.
Whether or not you had a preference, associating all long, wavy hair with Eagle Cutie would only add a lot of trouble for no reason.
For the same reason, Luke hadn't considered Superman leaving this time, because the chances were too low, and the chances of him running into an enemy that needed Superman to deal with were even lower.
But even if it was only one in a billion or one in a trillion, it was inevitable.
Besides, he didn't have Superman as a teammate in his hometown next door, and a bunch of supervillains had just died because of him.
Thus, he quickly adjusted his mindset. "Okay, it seems that we do need a plan."
After confirming that Luke wasn't plotting against Superman, Lord Wei was relieved.
He wasn't Superman. The kind of person who would save people when they were in need and live a normal life wouldn't appear in Batman's life.
Also, he was a rich man, a big capitalist, and had vaguely caught wind of what Luke was doing as "Bruce Bell" in ordinary society.
Lord Wei was confident that he could deal with either Superman or the Dark Knight.
Once the two of them formed a complementary partnership, Lord Wei would really have a headache.
That was because he realized that Luke was much better at handling people than he was. Or was it because he wasn't arrogant?
Even Lord Wei himself was a little embarrassed by Life One, the nano armor, and the arc reactor. He didn't think that Superman could handle Luke.
After all … Luke had given him too much.
Diana, the only one who didn't need anything, also seemed very satisfied with Luke's exquisite and thoughtful afternoon tea.
It wasn't a small matter.
For a war goddess who didn't lack money, strength, equipment, looks, or lifespan, a man who could please her was the most precious thing.
Most men didn't even have the right to please her.
Superman did, but he had a girlfriend who was even more loyal than gold.
Lord Wei also had the right, but he really wasn't as fast as Luke.
At that moment, when he heard that Luke had relinquished control of the situation, he was actually secretly relieved.
If Luke wanted to snatch it, Diana wouldn't object, so the odds would be two to one.
Old Master Wei would definitely not stand a chance in this mixed doubles.
Now that he heard the best answer, his slightly furrowed brows relaxed. "There are four very powerful beings in the top-secret documents that Lex obtained."
At this point, he gestured to Diana with his gaze, "One of them is Diana."
Luke "pretended" to be interested. "He's definitely not weak if he's in the same file as Diana. But how do I solve the problem of trust?"
I like that. Lord Wei raised an eyebrow. "I've already investigated them. At the very least, they have great goodwill towards human society."
Luke nodded with a "I trust you" expression. "What do you need me to do?"
Wei Laoye: "I've already contacted one, he did not agree, but he also refused. So, we'd better go with the other two. "
Luke rubbed his chin. "Our chances of success will be higher if we go together?"
Master Wei said, "The first Arthur Curry I found should be a mixed-blood between a human and an Atlantean …"
At that point, he couldn't help but glance at the Goddess of War, who was sipping tea.
Diana snorted and finally said, "Alright, I'm an Amazon, and I'm also a mixed-blood."
Luke was surprised on the surface, but he was secretly amused. He felt that he had made the right choice not to jump out.
Look at Lord Wei. He was investigating someone's background, and he even had to say it out loud. How hateful.
Luke often did this in his hometown next door, but he only targeted his enemies, and always saved face for his teammates.
As for Lord Wei, perhaps he should praise him as a "righteous straight man"?
Of course, after secretly laughing and putting on an appropriate amount of surprise, he immediately said to Diana, "Then you must also be the most beautiful woman of the Amazon race."
Although she was unhappy that her privacy had been pried into, Diana couldn't help but smile. This guy was really good at talking.
Lord Wei: … Damn sycophant!
Thanks to Luke's "flattery," everybody tacitly skipped the subtle but unavoidable topic of mixed-blood.
Luke didn't have any objections to inviting people. He had even been waiting for Lord Wei for a long time.
Lord Wei was simply looking for teammates to fight, but Luke really wanted to see these teammates pass the system's judgment.
He had been here for more than half a year, but regretfully, he still hadn't earned enough affection from Superman.
It was almost impossible for teammates who had been judged by the system to betray them, apart from mental control and other such abilities.
This kind of trust wasn't easy to achieve.
Luke had earned so many teammates in his hometown next door, and had built up a reputation for himself over a decade.
After joining Bat Squad in particular, most of the new members had the experience of "seniors" as a reference, as well as the influence of years of "deification" from Batman to Knight, which was why they were able to pass the judgment faster.
On DC's side, he was still a rookie hero of unknown origins. Even if Superman was grateful to him, he was still a little suspicious.
But Luke was patient.
Compared with the people next door who had started from scratch, he now had a high-level account with abundant resources, and it really wasn't hard for him to earn a good relationship with the team.
He was confident that he could get a list of Valkyrie and Superman's abilities in five years — if he could.
Lord Wei? That was a metaphysical question.
After all, a mental patient had a wide range of thinking. Maybe he would pass the teammate judgment the next day, or maybe he would still be stubborn and suspicious of everything even after a decade.
On the other hand, Doomsday didn't contribute a list of abilities.
After his character level was close to the end, the considerate system gave an explanation: Crude synthetic lifeforms → animals.
In short, in the system's judgment, Earthlings > aliens (intelligent humanoid lifeforms, such as Thor and vampires) > animals (synthetic lifeforms, such as Doomsday and the Blood God experimental subjects).
Although aliens weren't protected by the system, they were still considered the same kind to some extent.
Doomsday, which had been modified from General Zod's corpse, and the Blood God experimental subjects, which had been created from Earthlings, were definitely not the same kind.
Luke was still very regretful about that.
Not to mention a body of steel that could withstand peaceful weapons, Doomsday's ability to absorb energy to strengthen itself was simply a perfect match for an intermediate evolution.
Combining the two, Luke might have a new ability to absorb energy to evolve and strengthen himself.
If the upper limit of this ability was based on Doomsday, even if it was only 50% or 30%, he would become a superhuman player.
Even if the weaker version couldn't beat Superman, he would be able to crush anyone below Superman — which was already much higher than Luke's current limit.
