7. Were his "intimate" actions towards me really just to guide power? To establish a soul bond?!
The hearts of the two Dianas were in complete turmoil!
They looked at each other! At that "mirror image" that was so similar to themselves, yet seemed to come from a different world!
The hostility in their eyes gradually dissipated.
The replacement of the old man with 5 is an extremely complex emotion, filled with confusion, curiosity, and a hint of shared misery.
If what he said is true
So maybe we really aren't enemies?
But
sisters?!
Seeing the gradually dissipating hostility and rising confusion and curiosity in the eyes of the two Dianas, Lin Tian knew that his carefully crafted "lie" had successfully shaken their perception and initially achieved the goal of "resolving" the conflict.
Of course, it's impossible to expect them to become "sisters" immediately.
After all, jealousy and possessiveness are in a woman's nature, especially when faced with the same outstanding man.
What Lin Tian needs to do is not to completely eliminate the competitive spirit between them, but to guide it into a "controllable" range.
This allows them to "learn from each other" and "inspire and promote each other," ultimately making them more valuable "queens" and "weapons" in their own hands!
So, Lin Tian pressed his advantage, his face displaying an even more "earnest" and "expectant" expression:
“I know it might be difficult for you to accept all of this right away.”
"But the gears of fate have already begun to turn! A crisis in the multiverse is looming! We don't have much time to waste!"
“Diana,” he said, looking first at Wonder Woman from the DC universe, his eyes filled with trust and encouragement, “you are the symbol of hope for this universe! You need to grow up quickly! Master the powerful divine force within you! Prepare to meet the challenges of the future!”
“And you,” he looked at Diana from the DCEU, his eyes filled with tenderness and expectation, “you’ve experienced more and are more mature. I hope you can help your ‘sister,’ guide her, and protect her. At the same time, you must continue to improve yourself! Because in the future, I need the two of you to fight side by side!”
Lin Tian's words were extremely clever!
This affirmed Diana's "status" and "potential" in the universe, satisfying her ego!
It also gave Diana the "responsibility" of being a "sister" and "guide" in the DCEU, making her feel valued!
More importantly, he positioned both of them as "future comrades-in-arms" and "fighting the crisis together"!
They were made to temporarily set aside their personal feelings and focus their attention on the so-called "grand narrative" and "shared mission"!
really!
Both Dianas were greatly encouraged after hearing Lin Tian's "eloquent speech"!
They looked at each other! While the hostility in their eyes hadn't completely disappeared, there was definitely a newfound understanding and mutual appreciation.
Yes!
We are all Diana! We are all princesses of the Amazons! We all possess divine blood! We all bear the responsibility of protecting the world!
We shouldn't be enemies! We should be comrades-in-arms! We should be sisters!
Especially when facing that ultimate catastrophe that could destroy the entire universe!
We should unite and fight together!
Under the leadership of Lin Tian, this "great guide"!
The two Dianas! At this moment! It seems they have truly reached some kind of "reconciliation"?
They even extended their hands to each other! They shook hands symbolically!
Their faces showed slightly stiff, yet genuine smiles.
of course!
Only they themselves probably know what they are really thinking.
Perhaps they were genuinely moved by Lin Tian's "grand plan"?
Perhaps they have only temporarily submitted to Lin Tian's strength and will?
Perhaps they were all secretly plotting how to outdo each other in future "cooperation" and ultimately win Lin Tian's "only" favor?
anyway!
A superficial "peace" has been achieved, at least temporarily!
Lin Tian looked at the touching scene of "deep sisterly affection" before him and couldn't help but chuckle to himself!
very good!
They successfully fooled two more people!
It seems my "Best Actor" level acting skills and "pyramid scheme" persuasion are becoming more and more refined!
And just then!
Superman, Batman, and the other members of the Justice League have finally begun to recover from the shock and chaos of the previous ordeal.
They looked up at the two Wonder Women in the sky who had "reconciled"! And at Lin Tian, who remained unfathomable and seemed to control everything!
My feelings are extremely complicated!
They were completely baffled! What had just happened?!
Why are there two Wonder Women?!
Why did they start fighting?!
And why the sudden reconciliation?!
All of this seems to be related to that Lin Tian?!
What exactly did he say to them?! What did he do?!
Especially Batman! The undisguised adoration and love in his eyes when he saw Diana looking at Lin Tian?!
That ominous premonition in my heart grew even stronger!
Did even Diana succumb?!
This Lin Tian! He's practically a walking testosterone bomb?! A devil who specializes in reaping goddesses?!
No! We must stop him!
But how can we stop it?!
Batman felt trapped in an unprecedented predicament and a sense of powerlessness!
And Lin Tian!
He seemed completely oblivious to the complex gazes of the heroes below!
He embraced the two goddesses who had "reconciled"! A victor's smile spread across his face!
then!
He was looking down!
He announced in a loud voice:
"It seems that today's 'welcoming ceremony' has caused quite a stir."
"To express my 'apology,' and also to celebrate the initial formation of our 'Multiverse Guardians Alliance'?"
"I've decided!"
A wicked glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
"An invitation to everyone! And to the entire Justice League!"
"Come visit my 'palace'!"
Let's have a good, in-depth, and thorough "exchange"!
"About the future of this universe!"
"as well as"
"Your final destination!"
...
Those supervillains who are used to lurking in the shadows, taking pleasure in manipulating people's hearts and pursuing power, will naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime "opportunity in troubled times".
Like sharks smelling blood, they began to emerge from their respective lairs, trying to get a share of the pie in this mess stirred up by Lin Tian, or even to take his place and become the new "king".
Among this group of restless villains, the one who couldn't hold back the first and was the most threatening was undoubtedly Lex Luthor, the president of LexCorp, who was a mortal who could rival gods and regarded Superman as his lifelong enemy!
Ever since Lin Tian crushed Superman with a single punch over Metropolis, Luthor's "interest" in Lin Tian has reached an unprecedented level!
He was located on the top floor of the Lex Group, in a secret laboratory filled with futuristic technology. On a huge holographic screen, every scene of Lin Tian's arrival was being played on a loop, along with all the intelligence information about him that followed.
Luther, dressed in a well-tailored white suit, held a glass of expensive red wine in his hand. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were fixed on the lazy-smiling Eastern man on the screen, and his face showed an extremely complicated and morbid expression!
There was shock! There was jealousy! There was anger! But there was also a hint of indescribable excitement and the thrill of meeting a worthy opponent?!
"Lin Tian," Luther murmured the name, his voice hoarse and cold, "an existence even more powerful, more mysterious, and more incomprehensible than that damned alien!"
He couldn't understand it!
How could such a monster possibly appear out of thin air in this world?!
What is the source of his power? What is his purpose? What is his relationship with Superman?
Luther felt like his brain was about to give out!
His pride and joy in wisdom and cunning seemed utterly pale and powerless before Lin Tian!
but!
Lex Luthor! He's never one to give up easily!
He saw Superman as a thorn in his side! A thorn in his flesh! He dedicated his life to researching how to eliminate this "alien threat" and uphold humanity's "purity" and "dignity"!
just now!
Another "Lin Tian" has appeared, even more powerful and uncontrollable than Superman!
For him, this is both a greater threat and a greater opportunity!
"Superman Lin Tian's Justice League" Luther stared at the dots representing different factions on the screen, his eyes gleaming with a crazed, calculating light! "If only I could cleverly exploit their conflicts to make them fight each other to the death!"
"Then wouldn't I be able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?!"
A cold and cruel smile curled at the corners of Luther's mouth!
He decided!
We must navigate this murky water stirred up by Lin Tian!
Let's play an even bigger game!
He immediately took action!
He used his global business empire and intelligence network to begin gathering information even more frantically and relentlessly about Lin Tian, Superman, the Justice League, and even the mysterious forces hidden behind the scenes!
He even secretly launched several "special projects" that he had long abandoned or hidden!
For example! A project that utilizes the principles of Kryptonite radiation to develop a "god-killing weapon" specifically targeting Kryptonians?!
For example! A "genesis project" that attempts to create "perfect human soldiers" through gene editing and artificial intelligence technology?!
For example, he even started trying to contact some extremely xenophobic government officials he had previously disdained associating with, or secret organizations that were equally hostile to superpowered individuals? Trying to form some kind of "alliance" with them? To jointly fight against those "monsters" that "threaten human survival"?
Lex Luthor!
This supervillain is known for his intelligence and ambition!
Under the immense pressure and "opportunity" brought by Lin Tian!
His hidden madness and obsession finally erupted!
He wants to manipulate everyone!
He wants to belong to this planet! And even the entire universe!
The ultimate ruler!
What he didn't know was...
