The Knights of the DC House

In the planetary detective agency in Nasino City, Ke Wen was watching the speeches on the Chinese and Clark channels on TV about establishing an international trade island together with Atlantis, the country controlled by Neptune.

This is indeed a sensational event in the current generally peaceful international situation. The Atlantis civilization itself is a branch of human civilization.

If it hadn't accidentally sunk to the bottom of the sea, the current development of earth's civilization would have been different. But because of this, two branches of human civilization appeared. Before Neptune took over the power of Atlantis, the civilization on the bottom of the sea would have been different.

In fact, Atlantis can't stand civilization on land. After all, a civilization that dumps garbage into the sea all day long also dumps it at the door of its own house. Anyone who dumps it will want to beat them, let alone the Atlanteans.

If it weren't for accidents and submarine environmental restrictions, the Atlantis people had adapted to the underwater environment and were unable to survive on land for a long time. Coupled with population restrictions, they would have been put on hold. Moreover, land civilization has polluted the marine environment.

, also after the Industrial Revolution, before the Industrial Revolution, Atlantis regarded these human compatriots on the land as savages who drank hair and blood and disdained to interact with them.

Only with the changes of time, the emergence of superheroes in large numbers and the development of civilization on land, did the conflicts between the two branches of humanity become acute. Before Aquaman came to power, it was initiated by Aquaman's half-brother Ocean Lord Orm.

The war almost led to a catastrophe. Fortunately, the war was stopped, and Neptune successfully took power, which temporarily eased the struggle between the two civilizations and began to seek common ground while reserving differences.

This is also the reason why Aquaman has not appeared in the major events of Knights Origin, because he has been more of a king of a country than a veteran of the Justice League. Now that the two human civilizations are becoming increasingly sharp, one bad thing may break out.

A civil war between humans. At that time, Aquaman himself will not be able to prevent the war from starting, because he is Aquaman. More often, he has to consider his people, especially when land civilizations continue to dump garbage on Haiti and

When there is no change, war is inevitable.

However, with the development of these years, after several major events, Neptune and Mera, the queen of the sea, also used the whirlpool of major events to destroy the old factions in Atlantis, especially those who thought they were the civilization of Atlantis.

After the guys who were above all others were suppressed, or they were forced to become victims of major events, Neptune gradually took control of the power and became the real talker of Atlantis, and he also started to interact with civilization on land.

Activities for establishing diplomatic relations.

But here’s the problem. At first, the people of Atlantis looked down on land civilizations and thought that most of them were a group of uncivilized primitive people who were not worthy of communicating with them. But later, black technology and the advent of superheroes

In a major event that can destroy the world at every turn, the importance of superheroes increases, and Atlantis understands that once a war breaks out between the seabed and the land, only the Atlantis branch of humanity will perish. Then

Things are reversed.

Countries that have become terrestrial civilizations look down on the Atlantis civilization, because the biggest contradictions between Atlantis civilization and terrestrial civilization countries are two. One is the wanton and uncontrolled fishing of fish and the hunting of marine resources.

Without self-control, the second is the dumping of wastewater and garbage on the seabed. Atlantis, which uses the ocean as its home, cannot tolerate this kind of environmental change.

But under the coordination of Neptune, they also began to develop together. To put it simply, the Atlantis civilization provided technical support and talents to help land-based civilized countries solve sewage and garbage. After all, water is used as energy.

In terms of efficiency and pollution-free, Atlantis has always been top-notch. They themselves are a civilization where magic and technology coexist.

After just one round of coordination, only China and Atlantis reached a consensus in this regard.

The existing policies of routine sea bans, fishing moratoriums and fish farming, coupled with the path of sustainable development, give the two sides a basis for cooperation.

As for Japan, Norway, and Denmark, it is very funny. On the one hand, they regard themselves as developed countries, but on the other hand, they have not stopped hunting marine life, such as seals and whales. In their minds, the ocean

Biological resources are scarce, so you Atlantis should help more. Can't you talk to the fish? Then talk to the fish and let them live more, so that they will not be overfished.

Such words made Neptune almost unable to hold back at that time. A trident directly skewered the public representatives of mankind and national representatives who spoke these words as if they were harps. Even the American representatives before Clark took office as president were like this. To be precise,

They are the plutocrats who represent these interests. The capital giants think so. For the former president, it is all about profit, development, profit, and environmental protection. He 100% agrees with this kind of thing.

But if he agrees, then the interests of the bosses behind the marine fishing industry, including those factories that discharge domestic and industrial wastewater, will be harmed. The president is a president of running water, and they are the iron-clad bosses.

, how can one's own long-term interests be affected by the actions of a slippery president? Naturally, I have to say NO.

That is to say, Clark came to power, relying on two major international companies, Wayne and Lex. Together, these two companies can basically fight against the big guys on Wall Street, and these two companies are part of Wall Street. Two things.

Everyone has made it clear that they want to support President Clark, and they can only obey and admit defeat. Therefore, there is now the scene that Ke Wen is seeing on TV, a battle between Atlantis, China and the United States, basically

The International Free Trade Island, which is jointly funded and established by the three giants within the WPC, will be officially opened on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean on the 1st of next month.

"Wow, Atlantis has officially established diplomatic relations with land civilizations and built an artificial island. With the capabilities of Atlantis and Neptune, it is not difficult to build an island. Dad, let's catch up.

It’s a major event of the times!”

In the detective agency, Conan also very well integrated into his role as a son and an ordinary person among the melon-eating people at this time, and said to Ke Wen there. Because of this major event happening here at this time, whether it is the war on Apokolips where Conan is...

Neither the future line nor the line of the savior Ke Wen have ever existed. This is a major event of the times that belongs exclusively to Ke Wen's current normal timeline.

There is nothing wrong with Conan's remarks, because Neptune can only talk to fish, which is nothing more than people's ridicule of Zhenglian giants. After all, Neptune, as a Zhenglian giant, rarely shows up at other times except for activities in major events.

Whenever he shows up, he always conflicts with those countries that regard marine industry as their main industry. That's why he is ridiculed that his super power is to talk to fish, not to fish. How can he stand against those countries from the standpoint of fish?

.

But as long as you have read the book for two years, you will understand why Neptune wants to fight against these countries and the differences in stance and vision.

"Hey, brother, as long as you don't call me daddy, this chat can go on. I didn't complain that your name is the same as that of the Death God elementary school student. How about you calling me daddy all day long?"

Ke Wen, who was originally thinking about whether there would be any accidents in the news of this major event of the times, was also disturbed by the phone call from Conan, who he did not know was his son. The relationship between men and men

The relationship is either father and son or brothers, which is understandable, but Ke Wen always feels horrified and panicked when he is called dad every day.

"Oh, there are many people with the same name as Conan around the world, but you are the only one who can make us willing to call us dad. You think so, dad."

On the other side, Ke Xue, who was helping Ke Wen sort out the commission orders during this period, also added there. Ke Wen helped his forehead again. God knows what kind of living treasures these two temporary workers he found were. Even his father was addicted.

, if it weren’t for the fact that there was nothing wrong with these two people, he would have doubted whether they had any special quirks.

"If I give you a salary, you have to call me daddy. If I give you a wife, do you have to call me grandpa?"

"That's okay!" Conan and Ke Xue also refused in unison. Just when Ke Wen felt that they could finally chat on the normal channel, the two brothers said in unison again: "We have to let them call you dad too, ours

Future generations will call you grandpa!"

"Cough! Cough! You win, I'll go out for a while, you can look at the store and take care of the matter!"

Being robbed by the two brothers, Ke Wen could hardly find a suitable reason to refute. For a moment, Ke Wen really thought that they were his sons who came from the future. But when he thought of his previous confrontation with Dr. Manhattan, he said

However, the future cannot be seen clearly because of all the messes made by oneself, which means that people in the future do not know what happened in the past. What the future will look like only depends on how their own generation changes the DC universe.

So Ke Wen can only say that the two masters he knows are really thicker-skinned than himself.

After coughing several times to relieve himself from the embarrassment, Ke Wen also picked up his clothes and left the office directly. Such a big thing happened, and he had to go to the Titan Building to discuss countermeasures with them. And after Ke Wen left

Later, the two brothers Conan and Ke Xue who originally worked there also stopped what they were doing and started discussing this major event of the era on the TV.

Both of them knew very well that this was the first major event of the era after their father avoided two choices that might lead to the branch's future. Future intelligence could not be used as a reference, and only the two of them could decide on this major event of the era.

, whether they want to participate in it.

"What do you think of this major event of the times?" Ke Xue also asked after putting the compiled content of the commission aside.

"This doesn't seem to be my professional course. It's enough for you to ask and answer your own questions." In response to Ke Xue's inquiry, Conan also lay there, looking like he didn't want to use his brain.

"Don't do this. You are the son of dad and Kara. Not only is Kamen Rider Kuuga with the core of the Doomsday mother body, you are also a Kryptonian in essence. You also have a super brain. Don't be like Superman.

, wait until you become an ordinary person before you start using your brain to think."

Ke Xue was also complaining about Conan's laziness. Seeing this, Conan couldn't be lazy anymore, so he had to sit up and explain this major event of the times that was being broadcast on various channels in turn.

"First of all, this is a good thing, because whether it is you or me, my father did this back then, just to stop the internal fighting on the earth and start the path of interstellar immigration together. Atlantis civilization plus

Kryptonian technology still has a bunch of highly intelligent talents, and it only took a hundred years for them to leave the earth. But all of this was lost due to two major events. One was the Doomsday Legion airdropped by Apokolips in my timeline, and the other

It's on your side, the invasion from the Dark Multiverse.

But now, there is no Legion of Doom, no Dark Multiverse, everything seems to be on the right track. But is there a possibility that this may be a turning point in the future of the third branch?"

"The third branch of the future?" Ke Xue was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "You mean Zatanna, who had an unclear relationship with her father back then?"

"Yes, our mother has told the story of that year. At that time, my father, our mother and Zatanna didn't know anything about it. There was no reason why you and I were both born.

When dad chooses our mom. Since dad can choose our mom, why can't he choose Zatanna? Didn't you notice that it seems that we are the only two sons from two different future timelines who have returned?

Here, what about the future timeline where Dad and Zatanna are reunited?

That future timeline does not exist? Do you believe it? I don’t believe it anyway, and dad is the king of suppressing the universe in my future, and is the savior in your future. You can’t become an ordinary person in the future where Zatanna is combined.

Man. So this major event of the times, I think is very likely to be the node where the third branch will appear in the future. I don’t believe that our father asked us to come back to allow the future node of the third branch to be born.

And I have a hunch that although the major events of the Legion of Doom and the invasion of the Dark Multiverse in our two future timelines have not happened now, it is very likely that these two major events are evolving in another way, and we will return to

Here, on the one hand, it is very likely to prevent the third branch from arising in the future, and on the other hand, it is also to help the father in this normal timeline, so we have to join in, but we have to use another identity.

"

Using his super brain as a hybrid Kryptonian, Conan was also there to analyze the chain reactions of major events in the era of Atlantis and the international free trade island cooperating with China and the United States, and also gave the two of them the next actions.

A policy was set.

"Another identity? How else can we intervene in this major event of our times?"

Regarding the problem of his half-brother, Conan just had a thought. Around his waist, the linen dam spirit stone belt inherited from King Ke Wen appeared, and Ke Xue also consciously stored it from his own space.

The device summoned the build drive left to him by the savior Ke Wen. Looking at the build drive that was built by his father and mother and left to him, Ke Xue and Conan also showed unclear meanings on their faces.

smile.

At the Titan Building, when Ke Wen arrived, the other members were waiting for him. Kara and Lena were also there. Similarly, it was also rare to leave Atlantis and come to the Titan Building. It was also the same at the beginning.

The prototype of Titan, one of the members of the Outsiders team, Aquaman Kalder, like Aquaman, is a hybrid born from the combination of land humans and underwater humans Atlantis.

When he saw Calder appearing in the Titan Building, Ke Wen was also stunned, but he still showed a smile and spread his arms, giving this old friend whom he had not seen for a long time a big hug.

"Calder, long time no see, one year, or two years?"

"To be precise, it's been one year and four months. There's nothing I can do about it. My position is destined to prevent me from being able to move around as freely as you do. There are always things waiting for me to deal with."

Calder corrected Ke Wen's guess and said there.

"So you came up this time to discuss something important with us, um...about the international free trade island next month?"

Ke Wen knew Calder's intentions very well, and Calder did not hide it. As for the major events that have happened one after another in more than a year, Calder is also aware of the recent disappearance of members of the Justice League, and the mechanical Superman of Apokolips.

He also understands the matter of being whitewashed.

"That's right, I also came to discuss this matter with you. Victor also told me about the mechanical superman. We really can't do anything to a mechanical superman who exposes himself to the public, and you put him

Connor pushed it out, and by the way, it was a good move to let the Chinese Kong Kenan play with him to compete with the new superman. But with the opening of the International Free Trade Island next month, we here also received a notice that the mechanical superman will serve as a military hero.

The reason Representative Fang attended was to protect the safety of the president. Therefore, if he wants to take the initiative, he will definitely cause trouble at this opening ceremony, and he will work with Apokolips. I am also here to discuss with you how to deal with it."

Ke Wen was not surprised by the news given by Kalder. He had been suppressed by their rules for so long and did nothing. Even if the mechanical superman could endure it, Darkseid behind him would not do this. Otherwise,

Ke Wen will not come to Titan Tower to discuss countermeasures. During the period when the Justice League is missing, all tasks must be completed by the younger generation.

"We don't have any good way to deal with it now. If he doesn't reveal his true nature, we have no reason to take action. Lena, what did Lex say?"

After patting Calder on the shoulder, Ke Wen also asked Lena.

"There is no sign of contact with Apokolips, or Lex didn't notice it. He is only checked once a week. During normal times, he either stays in the manor with my mother or follows the instructions of the military.

He did some anti-terrorism missions and gained people's support, but compared to the actions of Connor and Conker, he was destined to have no advantage. If he wanted to contact Apokolips, he could only do so at the manor or when he was on a mission.

But by the time he comes back, those traces have long been cleared away, and Lex can't restore everything. He now holds the title of military superman, so we can't go too far."

In this regard, Ke Wen also nodded noncommittally. After signaling everyone to be quiet, he also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, the reason why everyone is here is clear, so I won't say more. At present, there is only one way that Apokolips and Mechanical Superman can do it, which is like the last time Clark gave his inaugural speech in the Capitol.

Create a big accident, and then let the mechanical superman come to the rescue and completely turn around. Not to mention, if he had performed well at the opening ceremony that attracted global attention, he might have overtaken him, because

He proved with his actions that he was indeed irreconcilable with Apocalypse.

In most cases, people will sympathize with the weak, especially his current character. He had an accident and was transformed by Apokolips, but he still remembers his identity as an Earthling and operates well. People will support him more than Connor and Connor.

Kong Kenan’s support.”

"Then my hard work during this time has been in vain?"

Connor on the side also said angrily, after all, who is the most tired here, it must be Connor. Since taking over Ke Wen's proposal to compete for the new Superman, everyone has basically followed the original standard of how Superman debuted and how to be good to others.

Help Connor. Compared with the old universe, Connor in the new universe is more low-key and prefers to live as an ordinary person. Except for big events, he usually spends time with his girlfriend, repairs cars, and makes money.

It's just that this peaceful life was broken because of Ke Wen's order.

"There is nothing we can do about it. No matter what we do, we will not use the lives of innocent people as bargaining chips. They will. So this time, Apokolips will definitely do something, and its wisdom will be more ruthless than last time. According to the previous comparison

Judging from the situation, they will dispatch Doomsday clones this time, which have divided sub-bodies and can collect intelligence. They are not strong, but they are more numerous, and they are stronger than demons in terms of combat effectiveness and destruction.

The troublesome thing is that no matter we win or lose, Apokolips will make money. If we win, it will be nothing more than mechanical Superman tearing his face apart. We will crush him to death, but the Destruction Day System will collect our intelligence and strength, and then adapt to evolution.

When the next attack comes, we will face a Doomsday that is at full level and even immune to attacks from most of us. What should we do at that time, let Clark become Superman again, or let little Jonathan take over?"

Regarding Connor's dissatisfaction, Ke Wen was helpless, because this move was no longer a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Even if Apokolips did not intervene in the International Free Trade Island matter, this is what Clark would do next, because as he said

He said that he wanted the earth to enter a new era. But Apokolips knew about it, and it also controlled a day of destruction that could separate its sub-bodies, so it was impossible for them not to take action, and it was impossible for Ke Wen and the others not to take action.

Bureau.

Thinking of this, everyone was silent, because there was no way to break the situation. Even if they were to take down the mechanical superman now, it would not change the situation. In other words, the appearance of the mechanical superman was an abandonment from the beginning. The only thing

The purpose of it is to attract the attention of Ke Wen and the others. In addition, there is also a Nightmare Batman watching in secret. The opening ceremony next month will be difficult to deal with.

"Okay, don't be so sad. Since Calder is here, he just wants to discuss the security work with us. Let's discuss this. As for Apokolips and Mechanical Superman, it depends on how they operate. For now,

He said, "When the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, let the earth cover it up."

Ke Wen sighed with emotion, and he had finally set the rules for this matter. As for what changes would happen by then, he could only discuss with everyone here whether he could come up with a plan B.

On Apokolips, Darkseid also came to the mothership of the Daxam fleet that was captured by Doomsday and used as a hotbed, and summoned the King and Queen of Daxam and others who had become prisoners.

"I express my highest respect and surrender to you, the great dark lord, Lord Darkseid."

In the mothership that has not been completely eroded by the mother body of Doomsday, the surviving Dakosam royal family, as well as the Kryptonian offspring babies in the last remaining genetic breeding room of Krypton are preserved here, including those of Krypton.

Criminal. Darkseid looked at the trophies he had captured and showed a confident smile.
