#879 - Justice Landing is not welcome in Santa Prisca
Perhaps many people don't know, but the Justice League is indeed a legitimate organization, at least in most countries on Earth.
The increasing number of super villains, the ever-watchful alien invaders, and all sorts of strange gods, these are all factors that contribute to the legitimacy of the Justice League.
Because of one solid achievement after another, the general public is willing to believe that the heroes of the Justice League are on their side, and they are indeed fighting for a better tomorrow for Earth.
But ordinary people don't need to think so much, the high-level officials of various countries can't do this, they have to consider some things that might happen, even if they don't happen.
The Justice League has developed rapidly in recent years. Even if the initial giants are reassuring, who knows if there are people who join later with their own careful thoughts?
While granting the Justice League legitimacy, the United Nations must also consider whether there will be bad apples in this organization in the future. Therefore, the Justice League will inevitably have many restrictions.
For example, the Watchtower's teleportation device, except for a few countries that have signed relevant treaties, the Justice League is not allowed to use this device for cross-border travel.
This is very strange. Superheroes' movements using their own abilities are basically unchecked. You can go wherever you want, but the teleportation device is not allowed.
Countries that want to get rescue as soon as possible in the event of an emergency have naturally signed the treaty, while countries with their own concerns naturally shirk in every possible way, and the island of Saint Prisca is naturally among them.
"I still don't understand why some countries would reject this treaty!"
Wally's emotions were a little unstable. If they weren't on Megan's bio-ship, he might have jumped up in anger.
"Not all countries operate within our perceived order." Dick opened the microcomputer and pulled up the information Batman gave them about Saint Prisca.
"There are still many countries in this world that rely on things that can't be put on the table. Take Saint Prisca for example. The island is not large and its resources are not abundant."
"If it were hundreds of years ago, the people here could still rely on nature to achieve self-sufficiency, but after entering modern society, human needs began to increase, and simply eating and drinking enough is no longer enough to meet a person's daily needs."
"With backward facilities and scarce resources, the people of Saint Prisca have a generally low level of education. Most people cannot adapt to life outside the island, and even if they leave their hometown, they cannot get high-paying jobs."
"Before this, Saint Prisca Island basically could only rely on tourism, but the income from tourism can only be described as a drop in the bucket. At this time, Bane came here with his factory. What do you say you would choose if you were a Saint Priscan?"
"You mean…" Wally opened his mouth with difficulty. The young man born in Blue Valley Town and living in Central City still couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
"This country is protecting criminals." The Batman崽子 fighting in Gotham said it for him. "The whole country is doing it. They need this industry that brings them hope, even if it is a world-harming poison."
"Before, it might not have been necessary, because Saint Prisca was a godforsaken place. Even the previous beastification incident didn't affect it at all. Evil would not wreak havoc here."
"Now it's impossible, because of livelihood, so the Saint Priscan people don't allow justice to land."
After reading Bane's memory, this sentence can basically be understood with a little time, but sometimes people will subconsciously choose to ignore something, Dick is just saying what they ignored.
The aircraft fell silent again. Sometimes the truth is so unacceptable.
"So Batman needs a less conspicuous team to land secretly on Saint Prisca, and he's just asking us to investigate, not destroy it here."
Jackson was very smart and immediately inferred the answer.
"He had already guessed that the Venom factory was intertwined with the country of Saint Prisca, but why didn't he tell us directly?"
"Maybe he didn't want us to bear all this." Megan said with an uneasy expression.
"Maybe you don't know, because I'm not used to the way Earthlings communicate, I sometimes unconsciously use my abilities. Of course, I quickly take it back after I realize it, but sometimes I can still feel the emotions of the people around me."
"The things Batman exudes are very… painful, but he is always very gentle when he is around us, so I think he shouldn't want us to know these things."
Dick lowered his head. As someone who spends day and night with Batman, he felt that Megan was right. If the group was really just investigating the reason for the factory's closure, then they wouldn't be able to find out this layer of content. As long as there were no subsequent emergencies, they wouldn't know so much.
"My brain is about to be eroded by those dark things!" Wally scratched his head irritably. "Don't think about so many things first. Since Batman doesn't want us to know, let them solve it. What we have to do now is to rescue Harpy!"
"Kid Flash is right." Troy stood up. "Amazonians don't have the habit of abandoning comrades, and I don't plan to learn this bad habit. Since there's no way to ask the adults for help, then we'll go and save him ourselves."
"Calm down, Donna." Jackson grabbed Troy. "There are not only the twenty enhanced people we saw there. If we anger the opponent, they may create many enhanced people. You must know that they have a factory that is constantly running."
The latest novel is first published in Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!
Troy did not speak, but raised his hands and showed everyone the silver armbands flashing on his wrists.
"Armbands made by the Vulcan Hephaestus, they can suppress my power. Although Sister Diana took me out of Paradise Island, she also signed a lot of treaties for me to abide by."
"One of them is that I cannot use my full strength outside the island. This is to punish my previous sins of abusing my power."
"That is to say, what you showed before was not your full strength?" Wally felt that demigods were all monsters.
"But, if these are shackles to punish you, then we can't take them off either."
"You're wrong, Kid Flash." Troy shook his head. "These armbands are not impossible to take off. Considering my safety, Diana fought for me the privilege that I can take off these armbands if the situation is urgent."
"After all, the gods only ask me to atone for my sins, not to die."
