Emperor Viktor held a small wooden boat and looked at the group of metahumans wandering around on the beach.
Their position was gradually getting closer to Rachel's house.
Emperor Viktor's expression turned gloomy.
"Thud!"
He threw the small wooden boat and the net full of lively fish down from the air.
They hit the sea surface and splashed water everywhere.
Hawkman heard the sound, turned around, and quickly flapped his wings to fly into the sky, heading toward Viktor.
He didn't know that the Viktor in front of him wasn't the Viktor he had met before.
He didn't even take out his Nth metal hammer to show goodwill.
"I'm very sorry, but I'm currently working within the government after all. They had already started to suspect your existence, and I couldn't keep hiding it anymore."
Hawkman looked a bit embarrassed and tried to explain things clearly to "Viktor."
"We don't want to disturb you, but you are an alien after all, and you're living on this land. The A.R.G.U.S. hopes you could go and register."
Strictly speaking, Emperor Viktor actually isn't any reckless person either.
The only difference between him and Viktor was that his Viltrumite personality was the dominant one.
Emperor Viktor listened to Hawkman's explanation, and considering these guys haven't actually threatened Rachel, Emperor Viktor's attitude is quite good.
"I understand, but since you want me to register with the US government, why didn't the president come to invite me personally?"
That was too much to ask.
Hawkman's expression changed slightly. That half face under the golden eagle beak mask shows a helpless smile.
"Are you joking?"
Emperor Viktor raised his left hand and scratched his eyebrow with his little finger.
The sea breeze made it itch a bit.
"Then who is your leader?"
Emperor Viktor was still very patient.
If it were someone like the Secretary of Defense, he could consider lowering himself to meet them.
"A.R.G.U.S., Amanda Waller."
Hawkman said without hesitation.
But after recalling for a moment, Emperor Viktor showed a clear look of disgust.
The part of his memory from his past told him she was a woman who liked causing trouble.
"Then forget it. I'm not interested. You can go back."
The fishing net had drifted away.
Fortunately, that casual throw just now didn't let those fish take the opportunity to jump out of the fishing net and escape.
But as his gaze shifted, he suddenly saw Hawkman's war hammer had actually moved from behind him to in front.
Hawkman held his war hammer. The apology on his face was gone, leaving only a serious, empty face.
"Sorry, my attitude just now doesn't mean I can let you leave—this is a mission!"
Emperor Viktor raised his head and snorted.
As the sky burst with roaring sounds and a black bat-shaped fighter jet suddenly stopped in midair, Superman, Batman, and Zatanna all witnessed that brutal scene.
Emperor Viktor slightly curled his body and came down from the sky, stepping on Hawkman.
He grabbed the bottom of Hawkman's wings tightly with both hands and pulled lightly, with blood and brown feathers instantly scattered everywhere.
"Bang!"
The two of them crashed into the sand, sending a large cloud of sand flying.
The Justice League and the Justice Society of America were all stunned.
He walked out of the huge crater with unsteady steps.
Behind him was Hawkman, whose spine had been crushed and split into two pieces by Zhente.
Seeing the metahumans around, Emperor Viktor's gaze finally settled on Superman.
He raised both hands horizontally, palms spread, down feathers still hanging between his fingers.
"He was the one who first drew his weapon on me. I was just defending myself. So… does anyone else want to fight?"
Viktor, who had been shrunk by the Atom's suit, clung near Superman's ear and started whispering.
"You see, no matter how lacking in ambition I am, no matter how reasonable I am, as long as this kind of situation appears, the problem becomes very troublesome."
Then Viktor stuck his head out from behind Superman's ear and quickly looked over the lineup of the Justice Society of America.
Vibe could release vibrations, sense vibrations, and even cut off a speedster's Speed Force.
He was somewhat capable.
Stargirl relied on a belt and a cosmic staff to display abilities. She could mainly fly and create force fields or release some energy blasts.
Katana was a woman who knew some martial arts and swordsmanship.
The sword she carried, called Soultaker, could seal the souls of those it killed, but essentially, aside from letting Katana occasionally 'talk' with the sword, it seemed to have no combat assistance.
Doctor Light should be a villain, but he recently joined and seemed like he could only release some lasers.
There were two or three others he didn't have time to look at. They were just minor characters brought along.
Viktor quickly reminded Superman.
"If Ares and Eris really interfered, they would probably rush forward without thinking, and they'll definitely die very quickly in front of me."
At that moment, the members of the Justice Society of America were clearly looking at each other in hesitation.
Their mission had been to take away an alien illegally hiding on Earth and bring him to cooperate with the government investigation.
But Hawkman was killed.
That already made the other side a criminal.
Batman looked at Hawkman, whose body had been crushed from chest to hips into a bloody mess, and frowned deeply.
"Everyone, don't act rashly. There's a conspiracy here!"
The situation wasn't particularly bad.
Hawkman could reincarnate, and he would keep his memories after reincarnation.
This guy being killed didn't really count as being killed.
They could still talk things out with Emperor Viktor, as long as no one did anything stupid next.
Suddenly, Doctor Light shouted:
"What are you all afraid of?! He's a murderer! Superman and the others also witnessed all this. Amanda said Martian Manhunter was also already on the way to support us!
Viktor, who was sitting cross-legged near Superman's ear, cursed under his breath.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Light raised his hand and fired a laser at Emperor Vkktor.
Superman quickly stepped forward and blocked the laser with his chest.
On the ground, Batman and Zatanna also stopped Katana and the others, who had drawn their weapons and were about to charge.
Emperor Viktor frowned at this scene.
He had already clenched his fists but then relaxed them. He shrugged and turned, planning to leave.
Suddenly, a pair of green hands reached out from under the sand, grabbed his legs, and pulled him down, burying him in the sand with a move, leaving only his head above the surface.
Then, Martian Manhunter, who was also part of the Justice Society of America, phased out from the sand and flew up.
He angrily shouted at Superman, Batman, and the others:
"Is the Justice League actually going to protect a criminal?!"
Zatanna couldn't hold back anymore.
She pushed forward with both hands, and a wave of magic energy knocked Katana and the others, who had been jumping around, to the ground.
Then, Zatanna cursed at Martian Manhunter:
"Idiot! You've all been manipulated!"
