MCU- CH-298. Brainiac

Luthor looked at the green figure that appeared on his computer screen, his heart moved involuntarily. His face remained expressionless, but his finger pressed a button under his desk inconspicuously.

"Lex Luthor, I thought you would be a smart man, but apparently, you disappoint me!"

Although they were only communicating through the computer screen, the other party seemed to be watching everything Luthor did.

Luthor was not embarrassed at all when his actions were pointed out. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since this is a collaboration, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to appear in front of your partners like this?"

"Luthor, it is the honor of your life to be my partner. I am Brainiac the Conqueror, the owner of the highest wisdom in the universe. I have destroyed countless planets."

"All the technological power you rely on is just like a toy in my eyes. I only need to move my fingers, and everything you have now will be lost."

The green figure did not continue to hide his identity.

"Since you are so powerful and I am so insignificant, why did you come to me? According to what you said, the power you possess is enough to support you to do anything on Earth!"

Luthor was not frightened by his words, but asked back with interest.

"Humph! The true appearance of the Earth may not be the same as what you know. What you see is just the most basic appearance."

"If I hadn't been afraid of those guys, I would have taken over the entire Earth with my endless army!"

Luthor captured a lot of information from Brainiac's words, and after verifying them with his own investigations over the years, Luthor confirmed some things.

There are indeed some unknown mysterious existences on Earth.

"Who are those guys?"

Luthor wanted to take this opportunity to extract some more useful information from Brainiac.

"I advise you not to know too much. With your wisdom, the more you know, the more of a burden it will be."

Brainiac seemed to be thinking about Luthor, but in fact, he was seducing him.

Curiosity is the most deadly poison for an intelligent person.

When he knows a lot, he will want to know more until his own wisdom can no longer support him to gain more knowledge.

However, Luthor heard the temptation in his words and resisted the urge to continue exploring. The other party was obviously setting a trap for him, and he couldn't be so foolish as to jump into it.

"In that case, tell me the real reason why you came to me! What do you want, and what can I gain from our cooperation?"

In addition to being a smart man, Luthor is also a businessman, and the most fundamental quality of a businessman is profit first.

Even if you know that the other party is far better than you, you will never give up the interests you should fight for.

"I am a conqueror but more of a collector. I like to see beautiful things become eternal."

"In the years since my birth, I have traveled across countless galaxies, searching for valuable planets one after another, and then collecting their most beautiful aspects forever."

"I saw the Earth. This beautiful world is perfect for my collection. If you cooperate with me, I only need to take away seven cities for my collection, and the rest can all be ruled by you. How is this condition?"

Brainiac made a very tempting offer.

Ruling the Earth seems to be too big a step for Luthor, whose current goal is just to become the President of the United States!

"Ha! Is your so-called top wisdom to treat other people as fools?"

"Ruling the Earth, this idea is indeed very tempting, but it seems very ridiculous to me. Only a person with an unclear mind would have such a dream."

Luthor thought about how Brainiac said he was afraid of certain existences on Earth, but now he said he could rule the Earth. This contradictory statement made him sneer.

Brainiac may really possess the highest intelligence in the entire multiverse, but that intelligence may only be reflected in the knowledge he possesses.

After all, in the most fundamental sense, he is a created AI. Although he has now surpassed his creator, he still cannot fathom something as complex as life.

This may be one of the reasons why he collects city after city and places them in bottles to observe the movements of life within them!

"Lex Luthor, I am willing to talk to you so much only because you are one of the rare people I have met who has wisdom beyond the level of civilization. I thought your vision would not be so limited. It seems that I was wrong!"

"However, although I cannot be your partner for the time being, I can provide you with a piece of information for free."

Brainiac seemed ready to give up, but he deliberately threw out another bait.

"The Kryptonians you thought had disappeared have actually landed on Earth and have established a base in the area you call the North Pole. Their spacecraft has a device called a galaxy engine that can drive the planetary transformer to completely transform the Earth's environment!"

"Also, I forgot to tell you that Krypton was destroyed more than 30 years ago, and the person who destroyed it was me."

After Brainiac told Luthor this news, he disappeared!

At this time, Luthor was indeed in deep doubt about Brainiac's words, but in his heart, he couldn't help but believe it a little.

Through these words, Luthor naturally suspected that the Kryptonians were plotting some conspiracy, such as transforming the Earth into Krypton, which they had already destroyed.

"Moses, contact our expedition team in the Arctic and ask them to check if anything special has happened there in the past two days?"

Thinking of this, Luthor immediately picked up the phone and called his secretary and bodyguard Moses Graves and issued an order.

"Yes, boss!"

The secretary did his job very conscientiously and gave Luthor feedback soon.

"Boss, some strange things did happen in the Arctic today. First, the military satellite was destroyed by an unknown attack, and our expedition team also detected multiple energy fluctuations."

"However, these movements disappeared in a very short time. Since this matter involves the military, our expedition team did not pay too much attention to it!"

"Moreover, their people also took a set of strange photos."

After the secretary projected the strange picture he mentioned, all that could be seen were two scarlet lights shooting up into the sky.

"Tell them to keep an eye on all the movements in the Arctic and report to me every four hours. Don't miss any unusual movements!"

Luthor's intuition told him that what the mysterious guy named Brainiac said might be true.

If this is true, then a conspiracy that could affect all of humanity is brewing.
