"Damn it!"
Hawkman also knew he was asking the impossible. He still had some doubts.
Since Kent had foreseen all this, why didn't he come with him?
But he didn't have time to question him now, only to trouble Amanda, who he had helped ~ into power.
"Waller, no matter what, you have to do something."
Amanda Waller also had a headache hearing this. She was thinking, if she transferred Hector to the sea now, as that general suggested, would it still be in time? Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have that person's contact information. Perhaps she should ask him?
At this point, she could only do her best.
She asked Hawkman: "Do you know when that thing will reach Earth?"
Hawkman looked at the numbers calculated on the computer, couldn't bear to tell her, and could only say with great effort:
"I can only tell you soon, very soon! If you want to do anything, do it now!"
Amanda immediately hung up the phone and turned to call Calvin Swanwick.
And Swanwick, who was Martian Manhunter, was currently with the Justice League.
During the meeting, he received a call from Amanda.
Everyone immediately fell silent, and Dane motioned for him to answer.
Ron connected the phone signal to Cortana's system and put the call on speaker.
"General Swanwick."
Ron responded politely: "Ms. Waller, is there something I can help you with?"
"…Please forgive my rudeness a few days ago, General Swanwick, our people have discovered the threat you spoke of."
Dane raised an eyebrow, and all the members present had varying expressions.
Martian Manhunter was silent for a moment before saying, "So you're contacting me now. Am I to understand that you have no way to solve this problem?"
Amanda's face on the other end of the phone was grim, but she had no choice but to nod and admit, "I'm sorry, General, as you said, I truly have no solution."
Her proposed "Suicide Squad" plan hadn't been approved by the higher-ups, and now she had no cards to play against extraterrestrial enemies.
This was natural. With the current lack of an explosive surge in metahumans, those bigwigs would be insane to allow her to send a bunch of lunatics and psychopaths to the battlefield.
What if they killed their own people before killing the enemy?
Ron immediately linked everyone present through telepathy, connecting all their surface thoughts.
"What should we do?"
Martian Manhunter's voice appeared simultaneously in everyone's minds.
Batman subtly glanced at him, silently adding another folder to his mental files—[How to Restrain Martian Manhunter].
Fortunately, he was deep-minded, so Ron didn't hear his thoughts. And fortunately, Ron followed the rules and didn't pry.
Dane spoke in the internal channel: "As General Swanwick, you should have no good solutions at this moment. The only thing you can offer are nuclear bombs."
Everyone frowned, all simultaneously considering this possibility.
Would Washington sacrifice Coast City to eliminate an alien monster?
The possibility was not zero!
Dane continued: "But you can recommend the Justice League to her and let her ask us for help."
This way, Martian Manhunter's identity in the Military would not be exposed.
And it would also allow him to endorse the Justice League's official background, making Amanda wary.
"I understand."
Ron replied and continued his conversation with Amanda.
"Waller, I can't help much with this matter anymore, but..."
Amanda, who had just felt a hint of disappointment, was almost thrown off by the sudden turn of phrase.
"But what?"
"I can introduce you to some special friends. They might be able to help you with this matter."
"Who?"
"Let me introduce you to the Justice League..."
A few minutes later, Amanda hung up her phone with a solemn expression.
"Justice League..."
This organization sounded very similar to the Justice Society, but from General Swanwick's introduction, its scale was much larger than the Justice Society.
She was weighing whether to contact the Justice League.
Damn it, if the Justice Society had enough personnel, she wouldn't even have to consider such a thing.
Just then, her assistant walked in and quietly said to her,
"Ms. Waller, Dr. Hector has been taken into custody and is in the car. Shall we depart?"
Amanda came back to her senses and nodded at her: "Let's go. I hope we can buy some time..."
But this was actually futile. Once Parallax sensed Hector in Coast City, it no longer mattered where he went.
Feasting first was the urgent matter.
Parallax arrived even faster than Carter predicted. On a cosmic scale, it could travel by continuously opening wormholes.
So, when Amanda was taking Hector to the coast, Parallax had actually already breached the Earth-Moon system.
Carter quickly sent a message to Amanda.
"That thing is already approaching the Moon!"
"How can it be so fast?"
Distances in space are not like highways on Earth; they are calculated in astronomical units.
"It can cross wormholes!"
Amanda no longer hesitated and immediately used the contact information General Swanwick had given her.
Hall of Justice.
JLA members had now changed into their gear. Besides Diana, who had her own divine artifacts, and Clark, who possessed a man of steel, the other members had donned battle suits made of Eternity-N Metal alloy.
When materials reached this level, it was difficult to describe these suits as mere black technology anymore.
You could even say they were enchanted armor without any problem.
The most important feature integrated into this battlesuit was flight.
Inability to fly was a major drawback for many mortal superheroes.
Watching teammates engage in aerial combat while one could only stand on the ground shouting '666'—what a bitter experience that must be?
Batman would probably understand best.
However, Dane didn't add the "flight" function to the battlesuits for heroes like Batman and Nightwing to engage in melee combat with them.
He had prepared better weapons for them.
Hawkman, your N Metal is indeed very useful.jpg.
With a secondary N Metal and Eternity Metal alloy, combined with Kryptonian spaceship manufacturing technology, producing several fighter jets capable of space travel was no problem at all.
Not only that, but he also equipped the fighter jets with many magic missiles and energy weapons.
During the experimental testing, Dane also discovered that N Metal could, to a certain extent, block psychic intrusion. This was a very useful feature for dealing with an enemy like Parallax, who liked to induce fear in its opponents' hearts.
Especially for Martian Manhunter, Dane strongly insisted that he wear a helmet made of N Metal.
With everything ready, Dane led everyone onto the fighter jets.
Among them, Barbara was assigned to the far rear because her piloting skills weren't great.
This seemed to displease her, but she couldn't bring herself to say that she absolutely had to be on the front lines.
Truly sensible people knew that when one's abilities were insufficient, the greatest contribution was not to be a burden.
Including the sorcerers Constantine and Zatanna, as well as the hidden Witch, they all remained on Earth.
They were responsible for dealing with any dark creatures that might seize the opportunity to cause trouble when the Death toll in Coast City reached a certain level.
Once a large-scale Death event occurred, the demons of hell would certainly not miss this chance to fish in troubled waters.
Just as everyone was ascending in the fighter jets, an unknown call came in on Dane's phone.
He looked at it and chuckled; wasn't it Waller?
He tapped the answer button.
"Hello, is this the Justice League?"
The way she asked that, it sounded so awkward... Dane could only reply: "This is the Justice League, I am Shazam."
"Hello, Mr. Shazam, I am..."
"I know who you are, Ms. Amanda Waller."
This stunned Amanda, but she quickly recovered.
It was probably General Swanwick who told him. She continued:
"It's an honor for you to know me. There's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
If it were normal times, she would have taken the time to probe the Justice League's background, but now Waller had no time to waste; she chose to get straight to the point.
"Tell me, I'll consider it out of respect for General Swanwick."
"Pfft—!"
Red Hood couldn't help but laugh out loud, earning a Death glare from Batman.
He defiantly met Batman's gaze, but unfortunately, his Red Hood obscured any expression, making his defiance equivalent to showing it to a blind person.
Next, Amanda selectively told Dane what she knew, and finally, she requested the Justice League's help.
In truth, she was just trying anything she could, treating it as a last resort.
Facing a creature that could traverse space with its physical body, humanity's most effective weapon, the hydrogen bomb, was too slow—so slow that the opponent could leisurely bypass it.
But General Swanwick told her that the Justice League had the capability to conduct space combat!
This was a capability that even Checkmate currently lacked...
