Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

After being stunned for a while, Atlanna suddenly regained her composure and assured Lucas, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

A peculiar smile appeared on Lucas's face. "That's good! Now the two main characters competing with you for the throne are your two sons. Don't be soft-hearted!"

Atlanna remained silent.

How did he know everything so clearly?

Atlanna suddenly felt exhausted. Wasn't this setting up a conflict between motherly love and filial piety?

"Go back quickly! Your eldest son, who has received so much support, and your younger son, who is determined to start a war, will be especially excited to see their long-lost mother."

Lucas encouraged her, waving the hesitant Atlanna away. He never hesitated when doing good deeds.

Imagining Atlanna reuniting with her two sons, Lucas felt fulfilled and satisfied.

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, have you changed your approach? First Mera and now the Queen of Atlantis..."

Lucas: "Who do you take me for? I have high standards. Not to mention, Thomas Wayne's in-laws are here!"

Thomas Wayne: "???"

After being puzzled for a moment, Thomas Wayne asked, "Group Leader, what do you mean? Could it be that Miranda's family is here?"

Lucas: "It's not Miranda's family, it's your son's good friend's family. Your son Bruce, as the destined hero of this world—don't you think it's strange he doesn't even have a few good friends? What kind of 'destined hero' is that?"

Thomas Wayne: "..."

Thomas Wayne suppressed his thoughts about his friendless "destined son" and gave up the idea of arguing with Lucas.

Howard Stark: "Who is it? There don't seem to be any male friends around Bruce Wayne. Could it be the Joker?"

Sebastian Shaw: "It could be the Joker. After all, he has always been obsessed with Batman. Could the Joker's family be important? Otherwise, the Group Leader wouldn't take it so seriously."

Lucas: "It's not the Joker. It's a good friend that Batman doesn't know yet—Clark Kent, an honest man who was deceived by Batman in various ways."

Senju Hashirama: "It seems this Clark Kent is also a superhero. Is he a member of Batman's superhero team, the Justice League?"

Lucas: "That's right!"

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "What powers does this superhero have? Don't tell me his abilities are as unreasonable as Batman's."

Lucas: "This superhero's powers are somewhat reasonable. He is a survivor from an advanced space civilization—Krypton. The DC world has a huge space empire, no weaker than the three major empires in the Marvel world."

Howard Stark: "So, Clark Kent is a technological hero? Since he's a survivor of a space empire, he must possess powerful technology that many Earth people cannot access."

Howard Stark: "If he were a scientist, it wouldn't be surprising to be deceived by Batman because of his lack of experience dealing with people. Batman is so unconventional that even a simple scientist would be deceived."

Lucas: "To be honest, I'm also surprised that Clark Kent didn't pursue technology. He's similar to Saitama in essence—strong personal abilities but poor financial situation."

Thomas Wayne: "Personal strength? The personal strength you're talking about must not be that he armed himself with technology, but that his powerful alien physiology gives him strength, right?"

Lucas: "That's right! The physiology of Kryptonians is very special. They can absorb the energy of the sun to greatly enhance their physical capabilities, reaching superhuman levels with all kinds of incredible abilities."

Lucas: "But only yellow sunlight can make them stronger. The light of a red sun and kryptonite will weaken them. As for Kryptonian civilization, it's just as inconsistent and unreasonable as Superman himself."

Lucas scratched his head, thinking of the various versions of Superman, and felt powerless. There were too many plot holes and inconsistencies, which was a problem with all long-running comics, especially with characters as old as Superman.

Howard Stark: "Well! We've seen many things that don't conform to common sense and logic. After all, reality itself is quite magical. Humans themselves have an unreasonable desire to kill, which is also difficult to explain."

Pirate King Roger: "."

Sebastian Shaw: "What I want to know is whether the ability to absorb sunlight to strengthen the body can be transferred to others. After all, this ability is extremely convenient."

Lucas: "This kind of technology exists in the Marvel world. The Kree Empire has technological bracelets that can enhance people's energy after wearing them. People can strengthen their bodies by absorbing solar energy, achieving abilities roughly equivalent to Superman."

Howard Stark: "The Kree Empire has this technology? The Universal War Hammer doesn't have this human enhancement function."

Lucas: "These bracelets were equipment prepared by the Kree Empire for the First Captain Marvel. I think they're similar to Ronan's Universal War Hammer—items that cannot be mass-produced due to materials and other limitations."

Sebastian Shaw: "This means the First Captain Marvel had abilities similar to Superman? That's too coincidental!"

Lucas sighed. This was no coincidence.

After all, the character of Captain Marvel was originally created by a company imitating Superman. Later, to antagonize DC, Marvel registered the name in advance, forcing DC to change the original Captain Marvel to Shazam.

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Thomas Wayne: "Group Leader, my TV suddenly turned on by itself. There are intermittent signals and messages on it. This must be the work of the Kryptonians?"

Thomas Wayne had already realized what Lucas meant earlier. The arrival of his "in-laws" referred to the appearance of aliens like the Kryptonians!

Lucas instantly teleported next to Thomas Wayne, watching the intermittent pictures on the TV screen.

Thomas Wayne glanced outside—it was already dark, and the lights in every house were turned off.

This was undoubtedly the work of the Kryptonians, who had disabled all electrical devices except TVs, which they were using to deliver their message.

The technology displayed by the Kryptonians made Thomas Wayne feel uneasy. This kind of technological dominance was insurmountable for Earth.

In this era of information warfare, the Kryptonians could easily control all the electrical devices on Earth, demonstrating their complete technological superiority.

How could humanity respond?

It's no wonder some scientists once said: "If aliens come to Earth without humans discovering alien life first, then simply surrender!"

The technological gap was overwhelming, and humanity would definitely be outmatched against such adversaries, unless there were extraordinary individuals like superheroes.

Lucas looked at the constantly blurry TV screen and couldn't help complaining, "Why isn't this working properly? The TV screen is so blurry—it feels like watching a horror movie."

As soon as Lucas finished speaking, the TV screen became clear, and a man in armor appeared.

The armored man was expressionless and spoke in a cold, stern tone:

"I am General Zod from Krypton. I came to this planet for only one purpose—to find our fellow Kryptonian, Kal-El!"

"For unknown reasons, our compatriot has chosen to hide himself. In appearance, he looks similar to you humans."

"But it doesn't matter. We require his presence!"

"Kal-El, I give you 24 hours to reveal yourself, or this planet will perish because of your inaction!"

"As for the natives of this planet, you would be wise to cooperate in finding and handing over Kal-El. The cost of angering me is not something you can afford."

After threatening Earth and Clark, the TV returned to normal, and all electrical devices started working again.

[CHAT GROUP]

Thomas Wayne: "It seems these extraterrestrials aren't friendly to Earth. Why are they so determined to capture Kal-El? Kal-El is the Kryptonian name for Clark Kent, right?"

Lucas: "This begins with the social structure of Krypton. Kryptonians are basically treated like tools. At birth, their future occupation is encoded in their genes, and their society has rigid hierarchies. It's essentially stagnant."

Holy Keisha: "How could this be? They used genetic technology to determine the life of an unborn child?"

Although Holy Keisha also studied genetic technology and implemented autocratic rule, she had never considered using such methods to determine people's lives.

Howard Stark: "Such a civilization is destined for failure. Their lives must be devoid of meaning?"

Lucas: "Who knows? Anyway, Clark Kent's parents couldn't accept such a Kryptonian civilization, so they didn't genetically program their child. Not only that, they also sent Clark to Earth and entrusted him to his adoptive parents."

Lucas: "They foresaw Krypton's crisis and warned the entire planet. Unfortunately, the Kryptonians ignored the warning."
