Chapter 4487 - After the modification: Chapter 3571 This Man Comes from Krypton (1)

"Warning... warning..."

Lex suddenly turned his head. He hurried to the control panel, his fingers deftly pressing several buttons. The surveillance camera switched to an external view of Mercury.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the planet, originally composed of metal and glass and shimmering brightly, burst open like a snowball. Countless mechanical structures shot out, igniting in the high-speed flight and exploding into a spectacular display of fireworks.

Lex stood stunned for a full three seconds, then he suddenly slapped the panel, clearing away the obstructing warning texts, and controlled a drone to fly toward Mercury.

But before it could get close enough to be within visual range, the drone was destroyed by the flying fragments. Amidst the shower of countless falling fragments, Lex, in the blurred perspective of the camera, saw a shadowy figure standing at the center of the Sun.

"Everyone, get to the meeting room immediately!" Oliver's unmistakable tone came through the broadcast.

Lex rushed to the meeting room as fast as he could, but he was the last to arrive. Hal had teleported Oliver there, Clark and Diana flew in, Arthur emerged directly from the water cooler, and Bruce didn't bother to hide his wings—he put them away as Lex arrived.

Others like Harley, Pamela, Barry, and Kara were also there, followed closely by Ron flying in through the window, while Zatanna and Constantine arrived through a teleportation portal. Both teams of Batman and Superman were seated at the back.

"No time for discussions," Oliver began immediately, "I'm assigning tasks now. Once you receive your task, head out right away. If anything changes, I'll contact you through Ron's Mind Network."

"First group, Hal and Barry. Head to the vicinity of Mercury as fast as you can and investigate the situation there. It's critical to retrieve the black box from Mercury's internal defense system and bring back all the data you can collect."

"If you encounter any enemies, don't engage in combat. If they chase you, Barry, you know what to do."

Barry and Hal nodded. In a flash of gold and green light, the two disappeared from the meeting room.

"Second group, Clark and Diana. Fly to Earth's perimeter, orbit around the Moon, and use your Super Vision and Divine Power to spot any suspicious targets approaching. Take all necessary measures to intercept them."

"If you can't intercept them, alter their flight trajectory to make them land in uninhabited areas, and notify the ground defense forces to handle them as quickly as possible."

Clark and Diana also nodded. One after the other, they flew out the window, the sonic booms trailing behind them as they rapidly vanished from sight.

"Third group, Zatanna and John. Return to Gotham Magic Academy immediately and check the status of the Earth Magic Defense Network. Maximize its output force, don't worry about energy consumption, and ensure that all energy attacks are intercepted outside of Earth."

"If you find the Magic Defense Network under attack, dispatch people to the attack site instantly. Neutralize the enemy on the spot, and if you can't, call for backup. Make sure nothing gets through."

The two nodded. Zatanna waved her hand, a purple teleportation portal appeared, and they left through it.

"Fourth group, Arthur. Return to Atlantis right away, organize your army for comprehensive defense, and ensure that every inch of Earth's oceans is under your control."

"If any debris falls to Earth, it's highly likely to land in the ocean. Once you detect any unknown objects falling into the ocean or any intruders, send people to handle it immediately. Don't let them deploy their forces."

Arthur nodded. The others didn't see how he left, only the water in the nearby dispenser churned, and then he vanished.

"Fifth group, Kara and Pamela. Head toward Mercury and collect any valuable debris from the explosion, gathering it in one place. Clear all the scattered debris from Mercury's orbit to prevent it from affecting subsequent operations."

"If you meet enemies, run if you can. If you can't, call Hal and Barry for support."

Both nodded simultaneously. Kara flew out the window, while Pamela was pulled underground by a large vine, and both disappeared.

"Sixth group, Ron and Harley. Ron, take Harley back to Gotham. Harley, take the footage Lex captured and ask the Professor if he knows who the figure is. If he has any suggestions, let us know immediately."

Harley nodded. Ron grabbed her and flew out the window.

"Seventh group, Bruce. Do you remember item 11 of our Solar System emergency defense plan? Go do it now. We'll handle the rest, but be quick!"

Bruce didn't say anything. He didn't spread his wings again, simply flying out the window.

Now, the entire meeting room was left with Lex, Oliver, and the two teams of Superman and Batman.

Oliver looked at Lex and said, "You take care of America, I'll handle the Soviet Union. Make sure they understand the gravity of the situation."

"Don't worry, their scientists must have already noticed the abnormal celestial phenomena. Combined with Bruce's plan, they will take action quickly."

After Lex left, Oliver looked at the remaining four and said, "Sorry, there's no place for you in our emergency protocol, but there are definitely things you can do."

"You speak," said both Batmans in unison.

Previously, they had remained silent because they could discern from the attitudes of this cosmos's Justice League members that they must have made preemptive plans for the current sudden disaster.

As long as there is a plan, they focused on execution. If someone were to interfere at this moment, it would only cause more chaos, so they said nothing.

Oliver first turned to look at Superman and Batman beside him, and said, "The families of Justice League members are distributed all over the world. In a moment, I will give you their information, and you must check their status at the fastest speed to ensure their safety."

Superman and Batman nodded together. The two of them followed the back door of the conference room and left.

"I need to make a trip to Mercury," said Injustice Superman.

Injustice Batman signaled him with his eyes to not speak, but Injustice Superman obviously wouldn't listen. Oliver slightly frowned.

"If you really have to do this, I won't stop you. But I must remind you, the people who attacked Mercury Base broke through all defenses in three seconds. Do you know what that means?"

"Clark once tested the strength of each layer of protective shields at Mercury Base. With the comprehensive defense system activated, he couldn't even break through the first layer of the shield, let alone the more tightly guarded energy core. Even combining forces with Diana, he couldn't budge it at all."

"In this situation, Mercury Base was almost torn apart in an instant. This means the strength of the attacking enemy is unimaginable. If you encounter him, it's likely you won't survive."

Injustice Superman stared directly at Oliver, seemingly assessing whether he was telling the truth, as it was quite beyond imagination.

"Come with me, Clark," suddenly stood up Injustice Batman and said, "We are going to defend the top floor of Luther Group. We must ensure their command system is operational. Only with Justice League's victory can we complete the mission."

Injustice Superman hesitated in place but eventually followed Injustice Batman and left.

Oliver took a deep breath but didn't delay for half a second, reaching the Luther Group's dedicated confidential communication room at the fastest speed and picking up the hotline phone.

"Hello, Moscow. This is Oliver Queen. I believe you have already noticed the anomaly in the Solar System. On behalf of the Justice League, I am issuing a notice."

"A few minutes ago, a formidable existence far beyond human imagination invaded the Solar System and destroyed Mercury in three seconds. Currently, it is impossible to determine if he will invade Earth, but you must be prepared."

Oliver's voice gradually overlapped with Lex's voice. Lex leaned over the screen on the table, holding the headset with one hand, and said to the other side:

"Now, I request you issue a notice to all countries worldwide, immediately entering global alert status. All troops are to enter combat readiness and prepare to engage."

"Furthermore, as far as possible, notify all citizens to be prepared for evacuation and refuge anytime. God bless us."

After hanging up the phone, Lex told his subordinate, "Prepare the plane and contact Mr. President; I need to go to Washington personally."

A few minutes later, Lex boarded the special plane, flying towards Washington at the fastest speed. At the same time, he received news from the Mercury front——Hal had already taken onsite photos.

On the plane, Lex opened the photos sent by Hal. Without a doubt, Mercury almost no longer existed. The debris of the explosion zone radiated outward, with the farthest fragments having already entered the orbits of other planets, showcasing the tremendous impact force at that time.

This situation indicates two things: First, the opponent indeed effortlessly breached the base center, directly smashing the energy core; Second, the opponent's target was not Mercury Base.

The first point is easy to understand: The opponent did not smash Mercury from the outside in, but from the inside out, directly causing Mercury Base to explode from within, presenting the radiating fragment pattern.

The second point is that the opponent considered Mercury Base worthless, having no intention of preserving this artificial planet, and didn't care whether there were people or other devices inside. His only goal was destruction.

Next, Hal sent more information——this was the only good news so far: there were no personnel casualties within the base.

It was vacation time, so there were no students on Mercury. Moreover, because Hal intended to build a new base on Mars, the Green Lanterns had gone to Mars City for investigation. Besides two Green Lanterns on duty, there was no one inside Mercury Base.

Due to the opponent's rapid breakthrough speed, the two Green Lanterns didn't have time to find the enemy before Mercury exploded. Fortunately, they had Green lantern energy protecting them, so they weren't injured.

From the information sent by Hal, Lex basically restored the whole picture of this surprise attack:

An unknown existence rushed next to Mercury, taking about three seconds to break all defenses of Mercury, directly destroying Mercury's energy core and triggering an explosion, causing Mercury to disintegrate completely and vanish without trace afterward.

Lex sent all the information to the presidential team, accompanied by a sentence: "If you don't want Earth to be destroyed, call Moscow at the fastest speed."
