Chapter 1115 The Hidden Spy: Black Manta

When the gorilla Grodd first started using rap to give Luther guidance, Luther already had the idea of ​​getting rid of him.

He is Lex Luthor, and he is always the controller. He is the only one qualified to control others; no one else is ever qualified to control him.

In fact, what a control freak finds most intolerable is the attempt to have someone guide his behavior. This feeling of being manipulated is utterly repulsive to Luthor. He is Luthor of the main universe, not some trash from parallel universes, groveling at the feet of Bruce Wayne from his own universe, licking the dust from his soles.

If you cooperate with Luther, you must be prepared to be bitten back at any time.

Lex Luthor had no idea what the gorilla Grodd was going to do after bringing him to the World Forge and obtaining the X-Metal Shard.

From the beginning, Luther only intended to use the other party to bring him into the world's crucible, and then do what he wanted to do.

X-Metal is likely one of the most powerful forces in the DC multiverse. It is the material used by the World Makers to create the universe. If we were to use the human body as an analogy, it would be like hematopoietic stem cells. Perhaps such an analogy is too narrow. Simply put, X-Metal is everything.

It can be used to create universes (World Maker), and it can also be used to create multiverse wish-granting machines like the Miracle Machine (Superman used it to create a wish-granting machine at the end of Final Crisis). It can also be transformed into weapons to arm others at will according to the user's wishes (the Justice League's X-Metal armor at the end of Dark Night Metal). Even the Mother Box of Apokolips was created by X-Metal.

But the problem we actually face is that it seems no one has ever tried to create a human being using X metal.

That's impossible, of course. Who would use the materials that make up the universe to create a human? Even if Lex Luthor is just creating a humanoid combat puppet that obeys him, structurally it is a human, and it doesn't matter if Luthor doesn't admit it.

In terms of manufacturing, Luther poured all his current expertise into this humanoid bio-weapon.

He had been quietly hiding for a long time, watching the battle between Batman Dragon and the Batman Who Laughs, and collecting various biological data.

Some people might wonder why Luthor, as a creation of X-Metal, would want to incorporate the DNA of Batman Dragon and the Batman Who Laughs into the other's body. After all, X-Metal is the material for forging everything; if you want a superpower, you can just fill it in—it's like having administrator privileges. Why bother incorporating the DNA of two Batmen into it?

The answer is simple: X-Metal is a creation of the DC multiverse, while Quantum Power originates from Dr. Manhattan.

Batman: Dragon and Batman Laughing were both once Bruce Wayne, but they both changed themselves to be more and more terrifying, completely different from the real Batman Bruce Wayne. The biggest difference is their connection with Quantum God.

The fact that this humanoid bio-weapon replicates the strengths of the Batman Who Laughs and Batman Dragon is merely incidental. More importantly, once he incorporates these two DNAs into the humanoid weapon before him, he will be able to successfully establish a connection between this weapon and Dr. Manhattan, making it the third weapon to wield quantum divine power.

Of course, since this wasn't the first time Luther had used someone else's DNA to create a child, he was actually quite experienced.

He remembered the mistake of creating Superman Connor that backfired, and this time he would never allow the weapon to have free will. He would never make the same mistake again!

"Loser".

Black Bat gently knocked on the door and came in.

"Gorilla Grodd has been temporarily frozen in a time capsule, but he kept asking to see you before he was frozen." Black Manta paused slightly.

"—David, I know what you want to say."

Luther stood in front of the control panel, saying without turning his head, "Come on, but you saw that the gorilla Grud really does seem to be controlled by something; it's for his protection."

"I know," Black Manta said.

He walked up to Luther: "So—what's our next step?"

"A weapon, of course," Luther said. "I didn't know what it would be like before it was made."

Luther is lying.

He didn't intend to let the other party know what he was doing.

Black Manta Ray didn't realize it—or at least he didn't seem to.

He nodded slightly.

Luther watched him leave.

As soon as it left the hatch, the black manta ray slowly walked down the corridor.

"Batman, I'm a complete outsider," Black Manta whispered to the main universe's Batman on the telepathic channel.

"It's precisely because you're an outsider that Lex Luthor won't become suspicious."

In his mind, the voice of the main universe's Batman resounded through the telepathic channel.

"If I had used any sophisticated methods, Lex Luthor would probably have discovered it long ago. But now, the most basic espionage methods have become the source of first-hand information about Luthor—of course, you know, this is just one example, and I will also seek verification from other places."

"Alright—" Black Manta sighed.

Beneath the fly-shaped helmet, Black Manta's expression remained indifferent. He was indeed an outsider; among so many deities, even someone as proud as Black Manta felt he was merely a nobody.

But Luthor's plan was too insane—a world that forbade supernatural powers. Black Manta wasn't opposed to ruling such a world, but such a boring world...

Forget it. He'd rather fight Aquaman to the death in Atlantis.

“He’s making a weapon right now,” Black Manta said. “He hasn’t told me what kind of weapon it is, but I suspect he’s not lying. I don’t understand, is this what you want? For Lex Luthor to forge a sword or some other knife or something using the X-metal from the bottom of the World Forge? To be honest, I don’t really understand—”

"Of course not," he heard the main universe's Batman say. "I suspect he's creating a human."

"Who is it?"

"The third person to master quantum divine power."

The main universe's Batman analyzed: "This isn't the first time Lex Luthor has created a bio-weapon, but given his previous failures, he wouldn't be foolish enough to give his humanoid weapon free will again. This proves he has a way to control the creation he's made. He very likely actually will, and now the entire DC multiverse is seeking the power to break through—as the smartest person, Luthor will naturally become the spokesperson for creating self-defense weapons in the DC multiverse."

But we must not allow such a powerful weapon to fall entirely under Luther's control.

Then Black Manta heard the voice of the main universe's Batman: "So now, you're going to mix this into the person he created."
