บท 153: Chapter 153: Interview
[Anthony's POV]
"The moment many have eagerly anticipated across the globe is finally here. The Daily Planet will be the first channel to host an interview with Earth's superheroes!"
Lois said, looking into the camera.
She literally sank her teeth into this opportunity as soon as rumors emerged about the possibility of getting an official interview, not from just one hero... but from several!
LuthorCorp already owned a large stake in the newspaper, and they somehow managed to organize something that any reporter would be willing to kill for.
Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Night Huntress, and an unknown superhero who appeared in the battle in Metropolis.
Social media gave him different names: Dark Hero, Masked Man, and Solver. He solved a problem by beating up Kryptonians.
There would be the heads of LuthorCorp itself, Anthony Luthor and Lena Luthor, who didn't often attend any shows.
The Daily Planet is currently flooded with new viewers as the show will be broadcast throughout America and even worldwide.
After all, other channels got permission to do so, and there was still the internet for viewing in those countries that refused
"But our first guests won't be just any billionaires, brother and sister, heads of LuthorCorp, who are improving the lives of American citizens and spending millions on building children's shelters! Anthony and Lena Luthors."
Lois said, and two people entered the studio.
They could see about fifty people in the studio as audience members and several cameras. They took their seats and greeted the viewers.
"I think all viewers would be interested in what exactly led to your decision for this interview, and with the heroes?"
Lois asked, looking attentively at us.
"True."
Lena immediately responded to Lois' raised eyebrow and continued.
"People still don't know anything about Superman and the others, yet they've been protecting Metropolis and stopping disasters all across the globe."
"So we reached out to them, discussed it, and came to an agreement."
I said.
"How easily that sounds coming from you. There were many who have tried to talk to them, but no one has succeeded yet."
Lois said.
"We know how to get what we want."
I shrugged.
After a short conversation, it was time for the heroes to appear.
A magical seal appeared on the floor, which startled some people, but Lois herself held up well since she had an idea that something like this might happen.
In the next moment, a bright light flashed, and the heroes appeared where the seal was, causing the entire hall to freeze.
"I think that was unnecessary theatrics."
Kara said.
"I think it was just right."
A tall man said in dark clothing with a mask on his face. That was me... or rather, it was a solid illusion of me.
I was actually sitting next to Lena, and such magical tricks at my power level were child's play.
"Superman..."
Lois swallowed, her breath quickening.
She looked at all the heroes who had appeared.
Shinoa immediately sat on the couch while crossing her legs, and my solid illusion created itself as a chair.
"Well, I created it through alchemy."
He sat down.
"Hello."
Superman smiled while waving his hand and finally snapped Lois out of her daze.
I wonder if she really cannot see her boyfriend.
"S-Superman, nice to meet you again. I'm Lois Lane."
She introduced herself while trying to compose herself.
"Accept my gratitude for agreeing to give the interview. After all, this is literally a global event."
She addressed all the arrivals.
"I can understand, but please, don't worry so much. I'm just me."
He modestly smiled, still looking like a confident man.
"I agree, we don't mind being here."
Diana nodded.
"It's hard not to when considering millions are watching us."
Lois smirked, also acting as the host at the moment.
"Don't worry, you're safe."
I said.
"Even if a nuclear bomb were dropped on the building, you would all be safe and sound."
"I hope it doesn't come to that."
Lois swallowed.
"All of you have been in the news more than once because of your actions, and now you've decided to appear together... Can I ask a question?"
She continued after receiving a nod from my illusion.
"Do you work together? I mean, are you a team?"
"You could say that."
I nodded.
"After what happened in Metropolis, the best idea was to unite forces against such threats."
Clark said.
"We can protect innocent lives from evil together."
Diana confidently added while holding a cup of coffee handed to her in the studio.
"You know, our viewers and I want to ask Supergirl and Superman one question. You have very similar outfits, are you relatives?"
"Yes, Kal-El is my cousin."
Kara said with excitement at the opportunity to give an interview.
"Kal-El? Is that your name?"
Lois grabbed onto the main point.
"When the alien ship appeared in Metropolis, the invaders' leader called you by that name... are you an alien too?"
"I grew up on Earth and identify myself as such. But yes, I was not born on this planet."
He confirmed that caused many people in the room to stare at him.
"As I am,"
Kara said.
"I see... how did it happen that citizens from your planet decided to attack us?"
Lois asked the next important question.
"It all started..."
Clark recounted the story of Krypton and how the planet exploded, resulting in the deaths of almost all Kryptonians.
He explained the meaning of the "S" on his chest, "Hope" and also revealed that he and Kara arrived on Earth a long time ago, and he was even an infant at the time.
He even said General Zod wanted to turn Earth into a second Krypton.
We discussed with him what should be said and what should not.
We concluded that confirming his extraterrestrial origin would not be the worst outcome, especially since it was already obvious after General Zod's appearance.
In fact, I had a similar conversation with everyone as we discussed it as a group.
Shinoa was also interviewed as Night Huntress, as she is not often seen outside Gotham, where she primarily operates.
However, she sometimes appears when additional assistance is needed in some parts of the planet.
Diana was also asked about many things, and people were very surprised to learn that she was a real Amazon from the island of Themyscira.
The conversation lasted about two hours, and we answered various questions.
Lena and me as Anthony would sometimes explain that we agreed with the heroes' actions and that they were willing to help us with certain programs to improve life on the planet.
I suggested cleaning up Earth's garbage, compressing it with the massive strength of Clark or Kara, and compacting it in special space stations.
These stations would also help transport it into space without spending billions of dollars.
I also said through the illusion that I am quite capable of helping with radioactive waste or anything dangerous to human life.
More precisely, I will help LutherCorp because I trust them because of their actions, which benefit humanity.
This could become a dangerous signal for other countries, but the heroes immediately announced that they were such for the whole planet, not just for America.
Additionally, LutherCorp is growing, and negotiations with other countries to build a new branch are already progressing.
This interview will help speed up the process because no one wants people capable of destroying an army single-handedly.
"...we don't have an official name yet, but I think it will be something like... The Defenders. Or League of Defenders."
I said through the illusion.
"We also thought about the Justice League."
Night Huntress added.
In general, this interview introduced the heroes to the world as Defenders capable of protecting the planet from extraterrestrial invasion, which we also discussed in the interview.
In other words, there was a lot of talk about other aliens, such as vampires and demons.
There have been no problems with Olympus during this time.
When I became the God of the Supreme, I didn't even have to do much because most of the powerful beings connected to Olympus had already left this world with the main gods.
Those who remained did not pose any interest or danger.
My personal life hasn't changed much since I became Supreme of Olympus, but Lena was thoughtful for a while because she was now a goddess.
Speaking of gods, I used Poseidon, the Firstborn, and Apollo's souls to create Sacred Gear.
Lena got an improved ring made of Nth Metal that contained Sacred Gear with Apollo's soul, immediately strengthening Lena.
The soul of the Firstborn also deserved to become a Sacred Gear, and made it into a wand and gave it to Zatanna.
As for Poseidon's soul, I combined it with the Trident that was forged from the remnants of his past.
I thought of giving this trident to Mera because I continued to spend time underwater with her.
After I became Supreme of Olympus, something else happened, and a hero named Flash appeared in Central City.
He was just a red flash at first, just like Superman was at the start of his career, and that's what all the videos showed.
Cortana has long monitored the city, and she knew that the Flash who woke up after being struck by lightning was Barry Allen.
After he woke up, he discovered that his body was all very healthy despite the lightning and the fact that he had been in a coma for six months.
He was lying in a clinic supported by LuthorCorp, and Cortana had no trouble getting all the data.
He then learned that he could move at very high speeds.
He has a lot of faith in justice as he worked as a forensic scientist and because his father was jailed for killing his wife when he was a child, even though he himself doesn't believe that because he saw a yellow flash kill her.
He decided to become a hero and took the name "Flash."
In the same Coast City, a hero appeared, using a green ring... it was the returned Hal Jordan became the Green Lantern.
He helped prevent an accident several times and beat up the city's mafia.
In the chat, everything was quite calm and peaceful... except for the Cultivator's world, where they were causing trouble.
Winter conducted a thorough survey of the area to check for available resources.
Currently, things have become fairly peaceful on Remnant as Salem is directing the Grimm away from the cities.
Salem is still keeping her promise... maybe it's time to visit her again as my previous visits have been quite short.
Erin was more concerned about the food of this world, which was very diverse.
Due to the Spiritual Energy, a huge variety of familiar plants, fruits, vegetables, berries, and everything else had mutated here.
Moreover, there were also completely new types of food, and Erin was having a feast.
Hermione came to the world with her to find ingredients for potions.
On the other hand, Rias went to this world with her peer, but I had no objections.
After all, I knew them all.
After they left, I teleported four Archangels there and told them about the new world.
Perhaps they will find something useful for themselves and people worthy of becoming angels...
Even though it's the evil Cultivator's world, good people and beings in general should still be present here.
Lena and I were busy on our Earth because there were still many projects.
It was still a pleasant and relaxing time... until a new mission arrived.

I muttered.
