Chapter 285 Vandal Savage
In the vast land of Siberia, there lives a group of Inuit people.
They also have a name called "Eskimos", but they don't like this name because it comes from the language of their enemies, the Indian Algon tribe, which means "people who eat raw meat."
"Inuit" is their self-proclaimed name, which means "human beings". They believe that they are the first civilized humans in the world.
And the evidence is living here, the longest surviving human being in the world, an ancient Neanderthal.
He was the first civilized human being and the first sage to bring wisdom to primitive people.
He has had many names, Duke Mar, Napoleon, and Jack the Ripper. Most of the time he appeared as a conqueror. He even joined the Nazis. His only pursuit in this world is to become a minister of mankind.
He is Vandal Savage.
He is a man whom the Inuit here regard as "god", a careerist who has survived for at least 50,000 years.
During his long life, Savage accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth, technology and experience.
Why does Steppenwolf know where Doomsday's ship is?
Because that was what Savage told him. He saw with his own eyes the spaceship carrying Doomsday crashing into Canada, but at that time he did not have the ability to crack the Kryptonian spacecraft.
So just writing it down.
In this land shrouded by the cold wind, there is an underground base, which is Savage's fortress and his palace.
It is also a place called "Temple" by the Inuit24.
This "temple" is constructed using the latest material technology in the world. Even the N metal that Hawkman Carter Hall holds tightly in his hands is everywhere here.
Definitely, what exists here is still only sub-N metal, and pure N metal cannot be obtained with Savage's Ability.
He also has some eternal metal stored here, which he purchased from international helpers before Khandak was taken over by Dane.
At the moment, Savage was standing on his fortress, peeping at the outside world through the large central screen.
This is not a networked projection device, and Savage doesn't really trust the Internet.
He believes that anything put into the online world has a high chance of being exposed in the end, and he doesn't want to take this risk.
So he would have his men regularly collect some recent major events and then bring them to him.
Although this resulted in a lag in intelligence information, it also ensured the security of his own information. With this method, neither Cortana nor Dane were able to discover him.
But Savage has been hiding in the darkness and peering at the world.
Especially in recent years, there have been more and more signs of the Superman class increasing naturally or unnaturally around the world, which aroused his great concern.
Savage looked at the big screen with a serious face, trying to find useful information for himself from the limited intelligence.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and looked up at the ceiling.
The next second his eyes were fixed on that place, a blue sonic blast channel opened, and Steppenwolf appeared from it.
"You should connect this place to the external communication network instead of having me go there personally every time." Steppenwolf said with some dissatisfaction.
However, Savage just said: "This is the safest, it ensures that our conversation will not be eavesdropped by the Justice League by any means.
"I still can't figure out how they obtained the accurate information in detail. It never hurts to be careful."
"But the global network is now in the hands of the Mother Boxes!" Steppenwolf retorted.
Savage simply replied: "That's it for the time being."
Steppenwolf was too lazy to continue talking. There wasn't much time left anyway, so it didn't matter what happened to this matter.
He turned to business: "The mother box will be fully activated in three days. How is your work going?"
Savage immediately replied: "Don't worry, they can fight at any time!"
It turns out that Savage has been providing technical support to Steppenwolf all along. The day of destruction that prevented Dane from pursuing Steppenwolf near Cyborg's home was exactly his work.
"It's a pity that I still can't modify the cognition of these monsters. They can only slaughter all living creatures regardless of friend or foe." Savage said with regret.
If Doomsday could act according to his wishes, he would dare to confront even the Justice League, not to mention the Steppenwolf in front of him.
Savage has never really cooperated with Steppenwolf. He wants to become the master of mankind, but relying on his own strength is obviously not enough, so he made today's plan when he accidentally came into contact with the "Mother Box".
The "Mother Box" guarded by humans, code-named "No. 6-1-9-8-2", was originally stored in the secret research institute of the German Empire.
And he happened to have a vest in this country at that time, so he came into contact with and studied this thing much earlier than the Star Laboratory.
But Savage was not an outstanding scientist, so his research on the "Mother Box" did not achieve great results, but he did record the radiation data of the "Mother Box||."
When Silas Stone used the "Mother Box" to resurrect his son Victor Stone, the "Mother Box" was briefly activated for the first time, and Savage soon received the radiation from the "Mother Box" Signal.
It was also at that time that, with the help of the "Mother Box", he got in touch with the Steppenwolf, who called himself the New Protoss of Apocalypse, and formulated a bold plan.
He prepared to use Steppenwolf to deal with the increasingly powerful Justice League. To this end, he did not hesitate to cooperate with it and cracked the Kryptonian technology to extract the genes he wanted from the sealed Doomsday.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to clone something as heaven-defying as Doomsday.
Dane was right to worry at the time. The spore virus on Doomsday was discovered and exploited by Savage, making it extremely easy to clone Doomsday.
As long as humans are used as consumables, even if the success rate is not high, he can still rely on the constant population to build an army of destruction.
And because Doomsday is also a Kryptonian, Savage also accidentally learned of Superman's weaknesses.
Superman's X-sight, which can see through everything, has always given him a headache, because although Savage's base is underground, it cannot block Superman's sight.
He is afraid that one day when Superman learns his identity and what he has done, he will use his eyes that cannot see through anything to find him.
But Savage discovered from his research on Doomsday that Kryptonians cannot see through lead. This is their visual weakness!
He therefore suspected that Superman might have some weaknesses that he didn't know about that had not been discovered, and this weakness might be very fatal.
"I need to confirm again before our plan is about to begin." Savage turned to look at Steppenwolf, "When you finish transforming this planet, it will become a world ruled by me, right?"
The Apocalypse planet plundered many worlds. Except for those planets that were eventually destroyed due to stubborn resistance, most of the remaining planets still implemented the principle of autonomy.
After all, Darkseid himself cannot manage so many worlds at the same time. All he wants is for these worlds to believe in him and abide by the commandments of the Apocalypse planet.
As for himself, he has always stayed on Apocalypse and rarely leaves there.
After figuring this out, Savage proposed a deal to Steppenwolf.
He can help Steppenwolf get this planet at the minimum cost, but he hopes to become the governor of the new world and the ruler of all mankind.
Steppenwolf agreed to him. This kind of thing is also very common in Apocalypse.
Don't think that Apocalypse will only use force to forcefully occupy other planets. Supporting separatist forces in these worlds is also their usual method.
In the movie, Steppenwolf once said, "Rebels must be deprived of their free will," which shows that the Apocalypse planet has high requirements for obedience, so splitting the Benten forces is their daily style.
Force serves this purpose.
Originally, Steppenwolf did not want to violate the agreement between him and Savage, because he felt that Savage was a person who was very aware of current affairs.
So giving him the transformed Earth 370 is not a problem.
However, since he learned that the "Anti-Life Equation" was actually hidden on this planet, he changed his mind.
But he won't let Savage notice this kind of thing. After all, the Doomsday is still in the hands of this human being, and he needs those monster soldiers.
So Steppenwolf said calmly: "Definitely, this is what I promised you, Apocalypse never breaks its promise!"
Savage seemed to believe what he said, "In this case, I will always support you as I promised!"
After Steppenwolf left, Savage took out a paper document from his hidden lockbox and analyzed the intelligence inside it through complex codes.
After reading it, he burned the information and sneered into the void.
"Damn alien evil god, just continue to immerse yourself in your dreams. The earth will not be handed over to you, it belongs to me!"
Just as Steppenwolf had something to hide from him, Savage had something to hide from him.
For example, the number of clones of Doomsday, for example, he has no intention of helping Steppenwolf transform the earth, and for example, he knows that Luther is actively contacting the military and government of various countries, preparing to gather the power of the world together and give Steppenwolf a heavy blow. .
As an old guy who has lived for tens of thousands of years, there is no country in the world with a history longer than his lifespan, so when Lex Luthor activated those secret hands for the first time, it didn't take long for him to know about it.
But instead of stopping it, he actually contributed to it.
Although he does not hate Superman as much as Luthor does, he also believes that Superman is an obstacle to his domination of the world.
So as long as Steppenwolf can help him eliminate those Superman types that may threaten his rule of the world, he will immediately destroy Steppenwolf!
He already knew that even a creature like Steppenwolf would not be able to physically carry a large-yield nuclear bomb, and Savage had already prepared a big gift for the guy who called himself the New God of Apocalypse. .
