Dane's words cast a shadow over Batman's heart.
If it was truly as he said, and Steppenwolf could create more Doomsdays, then with his... or more accurately, with the current strength of the Justice League, it would be impossible to cover all Bases.
Moreover, since the opponent could technically block Cortana's monitoring of the network World, it was very likely that they could also hinder Cortana from expanding the Dream World.
This conjecture was not unfounded.
The range of the dream stone's effect was not particularly wide. The reason they were able to spread it across such a large area nationwide before was mainly due to the radiation capability of mobile devices.
But this ability can be controlled by the network, so once Steppenwolf's side cuts off Cortana's ability to manipulate mobile data terminals via the network, she will no longer be able to cover All America with the Dream World as before.
In this way, once combat breaks out again, it will be difficult for them to control the scope of the damage.
And with Doomsday's power, demolishing buildings and destroying cities is an easy task. Even the Justice League cannot attend to every place.
"What do you plan to do?" Bruce asked.
"This is no longer an event we can solve independently. With the power of Apokolips involved, we need to gather the forces of the entire World to jointly resist Steppenwolf's invasion."
Dane didn't know if this matter was still Steppenwolf fighting alone, as in the movie.
So, considering the worst-case scenario, Darkseid might be personally watching this war.
Bruce pondered Dane's words for a moment; he understood the meaning behind Dane's words.
"You want... all of humanity to unite and jointly resist Steppenwolf? At a time like this?"
Even Batman, who usually came up with the most outlandish plans, couldn't help but feel a hint of absurdity.
As mentioned earlier, the current World situation was undergoing an invisible upheaval. Bruce even felt that World War III was imminent.
But Dane's view was different from his: "I believe that precisely because it is this time, making such a thing happen is meaningful."
Bruce immediately understood his idea: when all of humanity is about to fall into internal strife, establishing a common enemy is conducive to internal reunification, even if it is only temporary.
This is something the Soviets were doing, the United States was doing, and all countries in the World were doing. It is an effective method to shift internal conflicts.
Although it doesn't solve the fundamental problem.
However, Bruce had long been accustomed to such stopgap plans; at least it wouldn't leave them helpless.
But he was still somewhat puzzled: "Atlantis and the Amazons are easy to deal with, but Humans..."
He didn't finish, but he knew Dane would understand.
Atlantis has Arthur, and the Amazon has Diana. With them mediating, facilitating cooperation shouldn't be too much trouble.
But the Human world is too complex, and there are too many historical issues. Uniting seven billion people is harder than getting them to the moon right now.
But Dane's gaze turned back to the laptop behind Bruce. Speaking of which, Lex Luthor's communication network service agreement provided to the Military seems to be able to bypass the highest directive, right?
Earlier, Dane had Cortana specifically investigate what he had created and found that the ultimate authority of that thing had always been in Lex Luthor's hands.
Of course, even upright people like them can't resist leaving backdoors in their products, so how could someone like Lex Luthor not do anything?
"I think Lex Luthor might give us some surprises in this matter."
Leaving S.T.A.R. Labs, Lex Luthor finally had some private time to himself.
But he showed no abnormality, because he knew the mother box was constantly monitoring him.
However, he wasn't worried, because he had successfully conveyed the message he wanted to send to Batman.
If Batman knew, then the Justice League would certainly know.
Despite his reluctance to admit it, compared to the government or other heroic organizations, Lex Luthor also believed the Justice League was more trustworthy.
If there was anyone in this World who could fight against Steppenwolf and his army, then there was no other choice but the Justice League.
Although Lex Luthor disliked metahumans, this did not change his rational judgment.
And in the process of serving Steppenwolf, he was not without gains.
Although the mother box could almost ubiquitously monitor everyone on the network, it couldn't see places not captured by surveillance.
Therefore, it couldn't prohibit Humans from communicating using primitive methods, which is why the exchange of information between him and Bruce was possible.
The mother box did not know that Bruce Wayne was Batman because the relationship between Batman and Bruce Wayne had never appeared on the network.
His personal identity was not stored in electronic files, so the mother box, which could only see network information, did not discover Batman's true identity immediately.
What Lex Luthor needed to do now, besides secretly directing Mercy to carry out his plan, was simply to wait.
He believed that with the Justice League's technical capabilities, there would definitely be a way to break through the mother box's information blockade.
And Dane, as Lex Luthor expected, already had some ideas on how to break through the mother box's information cocoon.
This matter would ultimately rely on Cyborg's abilities. His power was inherited from the mother box, so only he possessed the electronic capability to break through the mother box's blockade.
In the movie "Justice League," he could even prevent the mother box from integrating into a trinity.
However, before that, Dane still needed to sort out Atlantis and the Amazon.
Atlantis was easy to deal with. Arthur and Atlanna were both sensible people, and Nereus would obey his orders because of the relationship between Mera and Dane.
But Themyscira was a bit tricky; it was almost entirely populated by a group of women who were difficult to reason with.
And because of past grievances with Humans, they were now extremely distrustful of Humanity.
But fighting Steppenwolf's army required the power of the Amazons.
Dane didn't believe that they truly defeated Darkseid with cold weapons in the ancient war.
You're kidding me, aren't you?
Back then, the huntress goddess Artemis could shoot down a spaceship with a single arrow. That power was stronger than an intercontinental missile.
And the Amazons were a people extremely favored by Zeus; it's impossible that they didn't have any hidden trump cards, right?
Dane even suspected that in ancient times, each of them had a divine weapon, specifically used to fight against cosmic invaders.
Otherwise, with just those cold weapons, it would be difficult to fight Parademons, let alone Darkseid.
"Are you really coming with me to Themyscira?" Diana looked at Dane, her eyelashes curved in a smile.
Dane nodded: "Of course, this is also to show the sincerity of the Justice League."
As the leader of the Justice League, he had this responsibility and obligation. Besides, even just as himself, he had to visit his girlfriend's family.
"If we're going into Themyscira, this thing probably won't work."
Diana shook the teleportation bracelet on her wrist and continued: "I tried it last time; Themyscira's power can block teleportation magic. We can only fly there directly."
Themyscira's barrier was set by Zeus, and ordinary magic could not penetrate it.
Dane didn't mind: "In that case, let's fly directly then. Shall we?"
He extended his hand to Diana. Diana's flying speed was not as fast as his, and they needed to race against time now.
Diana didn't refuse, placing her hand in his.
Dane gently pulled her into his arms and held her tight.
Then, with a sonic boom, both disappeared into the sky.
Although she hadn't been home for a long time, Diana still clearly remembered the location of Themyscira. At supersonic flying speed, Dane quickly found Themyscira's location.
On the seemingly empty sea, a permanent mist shrouded the area. Penetrating that mist, an island appeared before him.
As soon as he and Diana landed, a large group of uniquely dressed female warriors surrounded them, encircling them with bows and arrows.
"Who goes there?!"
Diana lowered the hood covering her head, revealing her face.
"Diana!"
