"What a pity, I actually had a little bit of fantasy that it would be Wonder Woman coming."
Luthor shook his head, making a small gap between his thumb and forefinger and squinting his eyes to indicate just a tiny bit.
"When you get to prison, you'll have plenty of time to fantasize about beauties. Come along with me now!" Captain Atom's eyes emitted a white light.
"Oh? If I don't cooperate, will you kill me?" Luthor spread his arms and laughed loudly.
"I've been ordered to subdue you by any means necessary. If you resist, we will kill you." Captain Atom approached the window, ready to break through it.
Luthor let out a cold sneer, "Hmph, you can't kill me because I'll do it myself."
After speaking, he quickly pressed a small button on his watch, and all the walls of his office lit up. The Luthor Reactors buried within the walls began to overload, the bright white light making the office shine like the sun, before instantly turning purple.
A thunderous explosion sounded, terrifying purple flames sliced Lex Tower into two parts, while the suppressed mushroom cloud, like a glowing disc, covered the entire sky above Metropolis.
Luthor and Captain Atom vanished, with the entire city trembling from the explosion.

Everyone in the Hall of Justice had been monitoring this, and after the revelation of Luthor's assassination of the president, everyone was puzzled.
Barry went back to Midtown to stabilize the situation, Batman's whereabouts were unknown, Superman and Ron were absent, and the newly summoned heroes all looked eagerly at Diana, hoping she would say something.
Diana wanted to speak, but couldn't. If it were on the battlefield, with both sides openly confronting each other, that would be Diana's forte.
She could lead troops into battle and was brave and fearless.
But Luthor's actions seemed peculiar, she couldn't figure out the connection.
However, even seeing Luthor, Diana couldn't kill him. If she did, it would confirm the conspiracy against him by the Justice League, which was very frustrating.
Amanda could naturally consider this point too, but why had her people killed Luthor? It was baffling. It would be better if Deathstroke were here.
"Wonder Woman, many people are rushing towards the Hall of Justice." Megan's little face appeared even greener; when she extended her senses slightly outward, she could clearly see many angry crowds charging towards them.
"Extremists have emerged. These are the people who believe in Luthor the most; even though it's been reported Luthor murdered the president, they still believe him."
Donna brought the Titans through the Justice League's teleportation to arrive, just missing a Gass, with Young Sea Hero still lying in the hospital at Ci'en Port.
"Where did my cousin go?"
The question was asked by a member of the Bat Clan, but Batgirl Barbara could only shrink behind, turning transparent while Bat Heroine Kate spoke.
Seeing Kate Kane, Diana let out a sigh of relief. Although Batman wasn't here, Kate could still do the job.
Except for being less dark, Kate's combat power was even a bit stronger than Batman's; at least she understood magic and could barehanded punch the Great Demon back to Hell.
Diana liked such female warriors, especially when this warrior was also smart.
"Sister, Bruce took Can Luo to heal himself, but didn't say exactly where he went. Maybe he didn't want to be disturbed. Can you see what's happening here?"
Wonder Woman grasped Kate's hand, and Kate, unlike the other members of the Bat Clan who were so cold, firmly grasped her hand back, her fingers even playfully scratched Diana's palm.
"???" Diana was bewildered.
Kate released her hand as if nothing had happened and turned her gaze to the big screen. "The reason for Luthor's actions is simple. He wants people to slaughter each other."
"What do you mean?" Diana forgot about the hand scratch and seriously pursued the question.
"I've been focused on the Justice League and Destruction Legion's conflict, but I also have to maintain the order of Gotham Magical Realm. You know what craziness mixed with witchcraft can accomplish, so I haven't joined your actions."
Kate was essentially just saying that. Her father was Jacob Cain, a Colonel at the Ministry of Defense, and she herself was a West Point Military Academy dropout.
The military identity isn't something the Justice League likes because their standard is 'justice should not be tainted by tyranny.'
However, suddenly being notified to come, a few words had to be said.
She wasn't Bruce; she was more like a person.
"Are you saying to compete for resources for the apocalypse? Regressing to a savage era of uncivilized strength?"
The idle Hawk Woman interjected. She hadn't been given a task and had been muttering about killing Ron.
Just because he left without a word into the void.
Bat Heroine glanced at her, "What he wants to destroy is existing humanity, not Earth, Earth he still has use for. Our cosmos isn't just Earth with people, many planets have them. But where there are people, there's Jianghu; slaughtering each other is the most efficient method."
John rubbed his jaw, feeling his beard had grown a lot in just one day, exhausted, "If five people want to kill 3 billion, within the limits of not destroying Earth, it's hardly possible. But if the killers are another 3 billion humans on Earth, then the situation is different...."
