"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Shadow Teleportation (Nightshade)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Soul Taker Katana (Katana)"
The battle between Nightshade and Katana ended quickly. Nightshade far surpassed Katana in both raw strength and combat experience.
"Whoosh—"
Samuel flicked his finger, and the Dionysus Factor landed directly in the mouth of Nightshade, who was walking back.
Following this, Poison Ivy, June Moone, Firehawk, Harley Quinn, Copperhead, and Black Canary all took to the stage!
Although Katana was resilient and never gave up, she ultimately only managed to win two matches after a desperate struggle.
Copperhead and Black Canary lost!
The former lost because her inherent strength was slightly inferior, while the latter lost due to lack of experience. She thought a big move and a sonic scream would guarantee victory, but the experienced Katana seized the opportunity. The moment her sonic wave subsided, Katana made a sudden thrust and finished her.
Those who won received the Dionysus Factor; those who lost—only received the Super Soldier Serum.
As for Katana, unfortunately, she only won two matches. Although she could reclaim the Soul Taker Katana she had been using, she missed out on the Super Soldier Serum.
Katana and the Birds of Prey each had their gains, but the biggest beneficiary was Samuel, who seemed like a dispenser of wealth.
Distributing the Dionysus Factor and Super Soldier Serum was killing three birds with one stone: it enhanced their strength, increased their goodwill and loyalty, and finally, allowed him to infinitely generate more Dionysus Factor and Super Soldier Serum for himself.
In addition, their previous battles also dropped many items. Several Soul Taker Katanas dropped from Katana, and June Moone also dropped the magic to transform people into monsters.
Poison Ivy dropped Mind Manipulation Ability, which could be achieved by secreting mental Toxins or even exhaling hallucinogenic gas from her mouth, causing the controlled target to occasionally experience hallucinations.
Firehawk dropped Flight ability.
Furthermore, the combat detection range increased to 5000 meters!
Samuel didn't directly invite Katana to join the Birds of Prey, but Katana had already withdrawn from the Suicide Squad project and was considered a free agent. The series of battles had also left her significantly injured, coupled with the reason involving Diana, so she voluntarily stayed.
Thus, the Birds of Prey gained another member!
Night, lonely.
Everyone slept soundly, no words exchanged.
The next day, at noon.
Samuel glanced at June Moone, who was still sound asleep. As he dressed and washed, he sighed, 'Spring nights are short, the sun rises high; from now on, the king will not attend morning court.'
The members of the Birds of Prey were, if not all exceptional, at least above average, and they came in all shapes and sizes, ready to fulfill his desires. Although he wasn't solely preoccupied with such matters, he wasn't an ascetic either, so he naturally wouldn't deny himself.
Speaking of which, what he could least accept was self-denial.
If one had power and status but still denied oneself, what was the point of striving?
It was like working hard to earn money but never spending a single cent; what was the point of earning it then?
Awake, wield power over the world; drunk, recline on a beauty's lap.
Only then would he not have wasted his transmigration!
Never forget your initial aspiration, and you will find your ultimate goal... At a certain military Base, General's office.
Samuel teleported in.
The office was large, with various electronic devices and documents on the innermost desk. A middle-aged black man was engrossed in his work.
This man was General Swanwick, also known as Martian Manhunter!
Near the door was another desk, where a woman in camouflage military uniform, wearing a major's insignia, was secretly surfing the internet.
Casually, she happened to look up and saw Samuel's sudden appearance. She froze for a moment, then abruptly stood up, drawing her gun and pointing it at Samuel.
"Who are you, and how did you get in here!"
Samuel turned and smiled at her. That glance caused the gun in her hand to instantly emit a crunching, squeezing sound.
She dropped it in alarm, and with a bang, the perfectly intact gun had turned into a squeezed iron ball, which fell to the ground and rolled away.
"Major Carol Ferris?" Samuel's lips curled into a slight smile as he pointed to General Swanwick, who remained expressionless, and said, "Don't be nervous. My name is Samuel, and I have an appointment with your General."
Carol Ferris subconsciously looked at General Swanwick. Seeing him nod slightly, she finally breathed a small sigh of relief.
And only a small sigh. A gun inexplicably turning into a useless iron ball—whoever witnessed such a thing couldn't simply pretend they hadn't seen it or that nothing had happened, could they?
Although Carol Ferris was a major, her primary job was to be General Swanwick's secretary. However, she had never heard the name Samuel before, nor did she remember any such arrangement in today's schedule.
But the General looked very calm, as if he truly had an appointment with him!
"Samuel—who exactly is he?" Carol Ferris secretly observed Samuel with curiosity.
"What would you like to drink? Coffee, or tea?" General Swanwick, or rather Martian Manhunter, asked Samuel with a smile.
"Coffee."
Martian Manhunter nodded and looked at Carol Ferris, who then turned and left.
Samuel sat down opposite Martian Manhunter and said with a smile, "Nice secretary."
Martian Manhunter chuckled: "Major Ferris is indeed very capable."
"The leader of the Star Sapphires in the future, of course she's capable," Samuel said casually.
Martian Manhunter, however, was stunned: "Star Sapphires? What—what is that?"
..."It's the Violet Lantern Corps. Haven't you heard of it before you came to Earth?" Samuel retorted casually.
Martian Manhunter's heart skipped a beat.
What did he mean, 'before I came to Earth'? He—he knew I wasn't an Earthling? He knew my identity?!
Seeing the surprise and wariness on Martian Manhunter's face, Samuel pursed his lips and very casually stated his true identity.
"J'onn J'onzz, the last Martian survivor, codenamed Martian Manhunter."
"I mean, you didn't think I wouldn't know your identity, did you? If you weren't a Martian, do you think I would personally come to see you, a mere General?"
Martian Manhunter took a deep breath, his appearance suddenly changing. In a turn, he transformed into a green-skinned Martian.
He nodded to Samuel, then changed back into his human form.
Revealing his true face was a sign of frankness; after all, Samuel had already revealed his identity, so he had to show his true form!
"How did you know my identity? I can feel that you didn't use your Mind Manipulation Ability on me," Martian Manhunter asked Samuel curiously.
Samuel said indifferently, "I know what I want to know."
Martian Manhunter nodded and didn't press further: "Then, regarding the Star Sapphire Corps you just mentioned, which is the Violet Lantern Corps, can You tell me what's going on?"
