Chapter 93 Conspiracy Theories That Came True

Joey has already experienced three completely different worlds in his life, but each world has its own set of unfounded rumors.

A conspiracy theory that sounds very convincing.

For example, vaccines may contain 5G chips or magnets, or Armstrong may have actually landed on the moon in a Hollywood movie...

One of the more outrageous conspiracy theories is that all changes in the real world are misrepresented as being manipulated by a mysterious force.

The general idea is that a secret society, a deeper, more mysterious organization, exists in the world and rules over the entire world, with North America at its core.

In his spare time, Joey also pondered the origins of these seemingly outlandish conspiracy theories.

For example, the existence of the first simple conspiracy theory, such a low-level argument, leads to a natural resistance to vaccination among some people in North America.

Joey used to think these people were all idiots, but later realized that he probably made these judgments because he didn't understand North America.

Even an evil company like Vought International could only come up with a wicked idea like mixing Compound V into children's vaccines in order to create more superhumans.

In the real world, the tampering with vaccines by certain North American institutions is something even a company like Vought International, whose members are known for their illegal and criminal activities, would have to admit defeat.

Given this premise, the first reaction of these people in North America to the free distribution of vaccines is naturally to question and question the existence of such a group of easily frightened birds. The core premise is that many birds were indeed shot and killed by bows in the past.

So the conspiracy theory of the Secret Society, which seems outrageous but is actually completely unreliable, naturally has a deeper origin that reflects certain truly unspeakable groups in reality.

In these neurotic conspiracy theories, the more plausible explanations are that these secret societies are staffed by celebrities, billionaires, and other of the most powerful and influential people in the world who are frequently in the public eye.

An even more absurd argument would be that these secret societies are actually infiltrating alien invaders, and that they are all lizardmen from Mars.

Anyone with a sound mind knows these claims, especially the second one, which is utter nonsense.

However, Joey never imagined that she would come to such a world, and the seemingly absurd second version of the story is actually true.

There is indeed a secret society and deep government in North America led by aliens (Krypton), and most of its members are indeed lizardmen from Mars.

"A generous gift of crab~"

Cyborg, who was present, had probably never been so surprised in his life. One of his machines put away its weapon and turned to look at Joey.

As an American who grew up in Detroit, and because of the ubiquitous presence of the internet, Cyborg is naturally well-versed in all the conspiracy theories circulating on the internet:

"I'm sure you're thinking the same thing I'm thinking right now—that the lizardman conspiracy theories those idiots keep spouting are actually true!"

The difference is that those people believed in the Lizard Man because most of them were idiots, while Cyborg believed in the Lizard Man because he had actually seen one alive.

"Please do not use such offensive terms to refer to my people; the vast majority of them are gentle, kind, and good people."

Ron Jungs's form changed again, from a terrifying lizardman to a more acceptable one:

"You can call me 'Mars Manhunter,' which used to be the title of law enforcement officers in my hometown. Our duty was to protect the people."

This is probably the pose Joey is most familiar with; Martian hunters in the ordinary universe almost always appear in this form.

With a gentle breath, Joey extinguished the fire that had broken out on the ground.

"Okay, Martian, explain what you mean by 'the agreement remains in effect'."

Although she didn't know what benefits Karash had given them to make these Martians work for her, Joey naturally had to ask since they had already said so.

Martians are also a rather dangerous race, possessing abilities far exceeding those of Earthlings and even Kryptonians.

It possesses formidable physical abilities, the ability to fly, thermal vision, X-ray vision, and even the capacity for teleportation, invisibility, wall-penetration, and free disguise and transformation. Furthermore, it has a telepathic ability similar to mind reading.

Joey dismissed Martian Manhunter's earlier statement that the vast majority of his fellow Martians were "gentle and kind" as utter nonsense.

Martians in a normal universe might indeed be mostly kind and righteous, just like normal Martian hunters, but in this universe?

Which "gentle and kind" group would disguise themselves as key military and political figures and secretly influence most of the world?

Although Joey found the North American military's operation rather absurd, considering the presence of so many Martians capable of freely changing their appearance, it wasn't too surprising that they made some outrageous and idiotic decisions.

After signing the action order, the nominal commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, the blond-haired general, sat in the white house laughing like an idiot, unaware that his group hadn't even invited him when they hid in the fortifications.

"This is an equal and mutually beneficial agreement. Our shapeshifting and camouflage abilities can help Krypton secretly control any planet without bloodshed."

Martian Manhunter's words drew Joey's attention away from the jokes about the new president, and then the other man revealed the conditions he had already agreed upon with Kara:

"And you Kryptonians need to help us Martians."

Starfire, now that Kara had been moved to a more secure cell, arrived from afar, its body glowing green.

When the Martian hunter saw a green light flying towards him, he immediately fell silent.

Starfire, who landed beside Joey, glanced curiously at the Martian in front of Joey, then nodded to Joey:

"I healed your cousin's injuries and even moved her to a more secure cell. That way, you won't have to worry about her punching you again next time you visit her."

Joey was speechless for a moment—there was no need to bring this up in person, was there?

Martian Manhunter also scrutinized Starfire, who was bathed in green light, and quickly noticed the green light ring on her finger:

"Green light!"

Unlike Xinghuo's previous curious gaze upon seeing unfamiliar things.

At this moment, Ron Jungs and the other Martians present were filled with wariness and hostility towards the Green Lantern Corps member in front of them.

Joey felt that if he hadn't been standing there, the other party would probably have made a move immediately.

Please forgive my rudeness.

Martian Hunter's crimson eyes remained fixed on the ring on Starfire's finger. He took several deep breaths to finally suppress the anger in his heart.

But this still couldn't stop the Martian from ordering the newly arrived Starfire to leave:

"But if there's a green light present, we can't proceed to the next step of the conversation."

"It's alright, she's one of ours..."

Joey was about to say that Spark was "one of us," but the words caught in his throat.

Those chosen by the Green Lantern ring are definitely not bad people, and Joey knew that Starfire, as a Green Lantern member, was naturally a good person.

But which side does Xinghuo's "good" stand on?

Good people don't always unite in this world; Joey has seen too many examples of this.

Sometimes, due to differing stances, good people can fight each other more fiercely than bad people, even to the point of life and death.

Seeing this, Xinghuo's eyes flashed with sadness, but she waved her hand dismissively and chose to leave.

"I just wanted to see Joey, but obviously I've come at the wrong time."

Joey, who was watching Starfire leave with Martian Manhunter, wanted to say something more, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

At this moment, communicating with these Martians is clearly more important than taking care of Xinghuo's feelings.
