The Knights of the DC House

Chapter 49 Changes in Lex Enterprises

When Mechanical Superman walked out of the sonic tunnel and claimed to be Superman, Lex, who was forced to be caught by his mother, also saw the full appearance of Mechanical Superman.

Less than a moment after seeing the complete picture of Mechanical Superman, Lex, as one of the most important people in the memory rebirth crisis of the old 52 universe, quickly guessed the true identity of Mechanical Superman. It was only Lex who guessed

I still can’t believe the fact in front of me. Of course, it’s not referring to Hank Henshaw when he was a mechanical superman, but the story between Hank Henshaw and his mother. He never thought of being in this new universe.

, Mechanical Superman will appear in this way!

He was not a fool. When he saw his mother looking expectantly at the mechanical superman coming out of the sonic tunnel, he understood everything. If he had no memory of the past universe, then Lex would only be surprised at this moment, and at the same time

I can understand why his mother is so crazy, but now, because of Wally's memory rebirth incident in the old 52 universe, Lex is only angry.

This kind of anger is not towards his mother, nor towards the mechanical superman, but towards a higher being, the one who created this multiverse, only to let it repeat over and over again, arranging their lives like puppets on strings.

Bastards exist.

"You put so much thought into sending Lena away to contain the Kamen Rider, locking me here, and quietly taking over the company, just for him? When did you become so brainless, Leticia Lu

Se!"

"Who gave you permission to talk to your mother in this tone?"

Regarding Lex's accusations against his mother, the Mechanical Superman who came out of the sonic tunnel looked at Lex and scolded Lex in a so-called father's tone. However, Lex was not angry at the tone of the Mechanical Superman.

He just looked at the mechanical superman indifferently, even with a bit of pity, and said indifferently: "Doll."

‘pop’

With just a simple move, Lex was stunned by the heavy blow from the Mechanical Superman. Leticia also stepped forward, caressed the Mechanical Superman's cheek, and said: "My love, there is no need to be angry with him, I have already

Everything is ready.”

"I know, just leave it to them."

In response to Leticia Luther, Robot Superman also held Leticia's waist, and the two of them also walked into the sonic tunnel, and disappeared into the Luther Manor as the sonic tunnel closed.

After a long time, light fell from the top of his head, shining on the face of Lex who was knocked unconscious from the heavy blow.

"No! Lex!"

Lena's exclamation came from above, and then Lena, Kara, Batman and Martian Manhunter also fell from above. After receiving the news of Ke Wen's return as soon as possible, Batman and Martian Manhunter who arrived did not rush.

Action, this is Luther Manor. God knows if there are any strange mechanisms installed by Lex. If someone like Lena comes here, it may be safer.

However, the expected trap did not appear. The group of people who entered the Luther Manor only discovered this secret room during their exploration, and found the unconscious Lex without any danger.

"He is seriously injured. Leave as soon as possible."

After seeing Lex's injury, Batman didn't delay much and said directly. They rushed to nothing and only found Lex. They didn't stay here longer. Lex, who was seriously injured and unconscious, left this empty place.

Luther Manor.

A calm but restless night passed like this. It seemed that except for finding Lex who was seriously injured and unconscious, nothing major happened. This made both the Justice League and the Titans nervous in vain.

In Ke Wen's own planetary detective agency, Ke Wen, who left the Titan Building, also returned to his home where he had been away for half a month. But this night, Ke Wen didn't sleep. He was waiting for a report about the incident 20 years ago.

The story of the Skyward Sword accident, Lex's situation, and finally, his own.

In the secret room he arranged, Ke Wen watched the information that Cyborg had sent over and put it aside. He sat there, following his own thoughts, and on his waist, a mask

Knight Yajituo's gem driver appeared, flickering and extinguishing under Ke Wen's will, like a light. With Ke Wen's thoughts, Ke Wen also transformed directly while flickering and extinguishing.

There is no fancy voice-over, just a simple transformation, but this transformation is different from the past.

In the previous Godhead War initiated by Darkseid, because he had been possessed by Darkseid, when Ke Wen broke away from Darkseid's possession, he also extracted the power of the New God and the power of Omega from him.

, with the blessing of these two powers, his Kamen Rider Yajidaya obtained an exclusive final form. Although it is very different from the original shining form in general, it changed from white and red to black and white.

But now, after being attacked by Darkseid's gang of new gods on Apokolips, after stripping off the power of the new gods and the power of Omega that he had taken from Darkseid, Ke's new god is based on Darkseid.

The exclusive Yajituo, which was born from the two powers of Germany, was finally brought back to its prototype and returned to the shining form in the original work. Those cool skills that came with the power of the New God and the power of Omega were also gone.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ke Wen finally released his transformation and sat helplessly on the chair. This sense of loss of losing a certain powerful form really made it difficult for him to adapt to it for a while.

Just when Ke Wen was finally feeling melancholy because he lost his own Yajituo, a sound broke through the air. Raising his hand, Ke Wen also caught the items flying towards him. Familiar packaging, familiar taste, his favorite Vita

Lemon tea.

"Why did I go to the universe and come back with a sad face?" The familiar voice also let Ke Wen know who was looking for him.

"There's nothing I can do. I went to the universe and I got some inspiration, but my strength was severely cut off. This business has suffered a loss. But you, I've been in the universe for half a month, and I still haven't heard of your good deeds when I come back."

He opened the lid and took a sip, feeling the refreshing taste of Vita lemon tea blooming on his taste buds. Ke Wen also looked at Dick who came in and joked.

"Hey, I wanted to send you a message, but my old man is worried about having me as his son, so he can't just sit back and do nothing. This delay has caused me to stop for the time being. I don't dare to go home now.

I can only come here to eat and sleep here."

Jumping down the stairs, Dick, who had been in Gotham recently, also rushed back. It has been a night since the news of Ke Wen's return, everyone who should know knows it, and Dick is no exception. To a certain extent, we share the same problem.

Dick also came to complain to Ke Wen.

"Batman? What did he do to cause you headaches again?" Ke Wen, who was still unaware of Batman's knowledge of the Dark Multiverse and the Dark Fallen Knights, also asked there.

"Well, it would be nice if I knew. He..."

Shrugging, Dick also told Ke Wen that during the period when Ke Wen left the earth, Batman behaved uncharacteristically, and then went to the Amazon rainforest to investigate by himself. And Ke Wen was also there quietly.

Listen, after being away from Earth for only half a month, he also wanted to know if there were any events on Earth that he had missed. Just listening to Dick's description, Ke Wen couldn't guess what kind of nerves Batman was having right now.

Even if he knows that there will be a metal incident involving the Laughing Bat waiting for him in the future, there is no reference time, and only Batman has been in contact with the twin undead so far, and Batman has not told anyone. No matter what, Ke Wen

Knowing the plot, there is no way to know this information immediately.

"He really can't take any time off. He really feels that the universe can't work without him. He already knows the nature of the operation of the universe. Why is he still so stubborn?" Regarding Dick's complaints, Ke Wen also said

Na then complained that at this time, he had not realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Who says it's not the case, but he always thinks that we will be in danger, but his view is outrageous. He would choke to death if he drank water. Think about you in that parallel unjust universe, and I was also beaten by Dami

An was hit in the back of the head with a stick and then hit a stone and died. If such an accident happened, he would be helpless and couldn't understand him, but you, what are you going to do now?"

After complaining about the unjust universe story that Ke Wen shared before, Dick was also curious about Ke Wen’s current situation.

"Me? What do you mean?"

"Everything is included, including your current power and your personal affairs."

"Power, from the current point of view, my knight form cannot be transformed into the form with the power of the Omega before. I don't know if it is my illusion. I always feel that the power of the Omega and the power of the New God have been stripped away.

, I feel a little more relaxed, as if I have more choices." Glancing at the Yajituo Gem Driver at his waist, Ke Wen also spoke about this in a tone that he didn't even understand.

That's why Ke Wen didn't react much after being stripped of his Omega power.

"More choices? I don't understand." Dick didn't understand what Ke Wen said.

"How should I put it? As you know about the previous big event, I turned the concept of Kamen Rider into a part of the operation of this universe, and I myself became the origin of this multiverse Kamen Rider. In other words, if

One day the universe will really be restarted, it can start with me, or it can start with the destruction of Krypton by Superman, you understand this."

Dick nodded. As he had the memory before restarting the universe, Dick basically understood the operating rules of this multiverse. But he still looked at Ke Wen and said: "Actually, I am still very confused about this. In the past, I used to call Superman Krypton."

The destruction of the star started as the beginning, and after he landed on the earth, the lives of us people have been extended with him as the center. But if you are the beginning of the restart, will Superman still exist, and will Krypton cease to exist?

Destroyed, after all, if we start with you, the timeline can be changed."

Listening to Dick talking about his doubts, Ke Wen couldn't stop laughing. This is the so-called IF line. Assuming that the next reboot starts with himself as the origin, what will happen to the DC universe that incorporates the concept of Kamen Rider?

The method was restarted, but those Ke Wen didn't know clearly and couldn't answer Dick's questions.

"I don't know about that. After all, we won't know what the universe will be like at that time until the universe restarts again. Will you still be Robin or Nightwing? But for me, I am now

The situation is unclear. The so-called more choices are like I can create a final form of my armor. I just have no idea how to create it or how to extend it. Compared with this, we still have to deal with what we have in front of us.

Let’s do it.”

Opening his palms, Kamen Rider Yajituo's logo floated on Ke Wen's hand, and the flickering light shone on Ke Wen's face, making this guy look somewhat enigmatic. At the moment, he couldn't figure out what he was doing.

Ke Wen, who was in a certain rank, temporarily put these problems behind him and started to deal with the problem of mechanical superman. Regarding Ke Wen's appearance, Dick had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, move to Ke Wen's side, and put his hand on him.

On his shoulders, the two of them left the secret room together.

In the Titan Building, Coven and Lena came back in a hurry, and Batman began to investigate. One night passed. And this night was enough to do too many things. On Batman's side, there were

Lex was rescued without any danger. It went smoothly without any expected difficulties or traps. The family of survivors of the Skyward Sword brought back by Ke Wen also used their descriptions of the accident that year. Batman investigated

The clues he received made a complete restoration of what happened in the past.

It’s just that when Ke Wen and Dick arrived, it was not only him and Dick who were in the Titan Tower, but several big bosses from the Justice League, the first members of the Titans, Connor, and Wally were also present, and tomorrow

Clark, who was about to be inaugurated as president, also sat in the first seat.

"Wow, what does this mean? Don't we all know that the masterminds behind the scenes are Apokolips and the Mechanical Superman? Why do we all look so prepared and can't figure it out?"

As soon as he came in, Ke Wen was stunned when he saw the serious expressions of his friends and the big guys from Zhenglian. Because in his impression, although the mechanical superman was difficult to deal with, he was not that difficult to deal with if he knew the basics.

But a group of people sitting here, frowning and thinking, made Ke Wen wonder if Apokolips was preparing to attack the earth again.

"Um... the situation is a bit complicated, Ke Wen." Cyborg looked at Ke Wen and answered there.

"Then can you give me a hint to let me know where the complexity of the situation is?"

"Cyborg has learned first-hand information about the past from the two Tianjian survivor astronauts you brought back from the universe. Martian Manhunter and I also rescued Lex Luthor last night. He is fine for the time being.

Danger. Lena Luthor is taking care of him in the hospital, and Kara is with her."

Clark, who was sitting in the front seat, also took over Cyborg's words and said. Regarding Clark's statement, Ke Wen still showed a puzzled expression.

"Oh, that sounds like everyone is happy, right?"

"Yes, that should be the case, if it were just the current situation. But the fact is, everything has gotten worse, Ke Wen."

"Wow, is it so bad that even the Justice League is frowning?"

"Then it all starts with me."

Ke Wen:?

Next, Clark also told a story for the arriving Kevin and Dick, a story that happened 20 years ago. The story was also very simple, starting from the time when Clark had not yet become Superman in the small town of Smallville and met the Lex family.

Getting acquainted begins. After the Lex family first came into contact with Clark, an abnormal person, everything changed. It has to be said that the Lex family may all have paranoia.

After learning about Clark's abnormal existence, both Lex and his wife, as parents, were hit. One began to give up on himself, thinking that the business territory he had established had nothing to brag about in front of such a person, and was shocked. And Lex, as a mother, was shocked.

Tisia became obsessed with this power and began to search for superhuman existence on the earth.

So there is Lex's tragic childhood. Both the couple have pinned their hopes of defeating Superman on Lex, who has shown unusual wisdom since childhood. This is why Lex has always disliked Superman, at least in this reboot.

In the later universe, he and Superman formed a feud very early.

While Leticia was searching for superhuman beings all over the world, Leticia met Hank Henshaw, who had not yet become the Skyward Sword. At that time, Hank Henshaw also accepted that Clark had not yet become a human being.

To help when he became Superman, it can be said that the word Superman was still called Clark by Hank Henshaw at that time. The union of Leticia and Lex's father has no so-called emotional factors, it's just that each takes what he needs.

, so naturally, Leticia became close to Hank Henshaw.

Because the two happened to have experience in superhuman beings, they had the photo that Ke Wen saw in the Tianjian spacecraft on the O50 planet at that time. At that time, Leticia was also considered a member of the Lex family business.

The major shareholder has been secretly funding Hank Henshaw and using national resources to search for superhuman beings. In the process of searching, they came into contact with items left by Apokolips on the earth in ancient times.

By accident, he made contact with Apokolips.

The connected item was placed on the Skyward spacecraft at that time. Naturally, this was the reason why the Skyward spacecraft was attacked by Apokolips. When all this was said by Clark and informed to Ke Wen and Dick,

, Dick was confused, because in the era of the infinite earth universe, that is, the old 52 universe, the origin of the mechanical superman was not so complicated, why did it become so weird this time?

On the contrary, it was Ke Wen who was no longer surprised by this situation. He was just thinking about it and the connection between it.

"Wait, I still have a question. If all this originated from you, then why did he become a mechanical superman, and why did he target you. In the previous universe, I also know the conflict between you and him.

In this universe, the Tianjian accident was caused by his own suicide and has nothing to do with you."

"Well, that's another reason. Before I officially became Superman, I was actually active, but not as frequently as I am now. During that time, I often helped Hank.

Xiao, because he was the most experienced astronaut at the time, and I had helped him on several space projects. He came and went back and forth, so he became dependent on me. Maybe in the Tianjian accident

, he had been expecting me to show up, but in the end I didn’t show up, which probably turned into resentment.”

As he spoke, Clark also had a look on his face with emotion, because situations like Hank Henshaw's happened more than once or twice when he later officially became Superman. Too many people took his presence and help for granted.

, at a certain point, when he didn't show up to help them, how much he defended himself before, he hated himself later.

That is to say, later on, as Superman, he also expanded the scope of his activities from the global to the whole country, and then only became active in the metropolis. Except for major natural disasters, he just didn't want mankind to rely on him as Superman.

"Then can you explain to me why Lena said she had no memory of that photo? If it happened in the past, she should have some memory."

"That's because Lex reshaped Lena Luthor's memory, and the memories about childhood were adjusted by Lex. According to Lex's words, he didn't want these memories to affect his sister's growth."

Well, after understanding the cause and effect, Ke Wen was indeed shocked by Lex's statement. But if we talk about memory reshaping without subsequent adverse effects, it is true that Lex can do this. Then Lena is still here

Naturally, there was no need to say anything more at the hospital. By this time, Lex should have told Lena the truth, and Kara would have a reason to accompany Lena there.

"Okay, this really shocked me. Everything was wrong because you became Superman, but this is already in the past. From the time you announced your identity to the world and showed that you no longer have superhuman powers,

After becoming just an ordinary person, the operation of the universe began to change, so now that we know the cause and effect, why don't we move out quickly to take down Leticia, take down the mechanical superman, and then crush the conspiracy of Apokolips."

"That's the problem, man, we can't do it now."

"ha?"

Ke Wen once again showed a puzzled expression, and Cyborg also understood Ke Wen's doubts. He turned his head, and the sensor on his forehead lit up. On the big screen, a piece of news also made Ke Wen feel the difficulty of the situation.

At the same time, in the Metropolitan Hospital, Lena and Kara, who were in the intensive care unit, also looked at the TV with Lex who woke up.

There wasn't much news on TV, only one, but there was a person on TV that both brothers and sisters were familiar with, that is Leticia Luther, their biological mother.

At this time, Leticia was sitting in Lex's personal office. Just now, the shareholder meeting of Lex Enterprises unanimously voted to kick Lex out of Lex Enterprises, and Leticia became the current Lex.

A company's words matter to its people.

"I'm sorry, Lena, maybe I should have told you those bad things about our parents when you were wiser, I just... I just can't do it, I don't want you to live in a family like this, this

It’s a messy family tragedy, and I can be the only one to know about it.”

Lex woke up from a coma and told his sister Lena about the bad things that happened to her parents in the past. His face was full of guilt, but for Lena, she couldn't blame herself at this time.

Brother, from beginning to end, Lex has never done anything to feel sorry for himself. On the contrary, he has been protecting himself.

"I don't care, Lex. But right now, I need you to cheer up, because we're going to get what's ours back!"

While comforting her brother, Lena also looked at her mother on TV with cold eyes.
