All the drones were shot down, and all the debris burning with the flames fell into the river, leaving only Superman and Ghost still hanging in the sky.

"How did you do it?" Superman asked, looking at the ghost strangely, "That sonic boom just now?"

"Tighten the muscles in your front to create an echo chamber, and you can do it too." Ghost said lightly, paused, and changed his mouth, "or, sooner or later, you can do it. To be honest, you have just begun to discover your abilities. As time accumulates, you will find that you can do much more than you are now, many wonderful things, horrible things..."

"You mean if you haven't killed me by that time." Superman added.

The ghost turned his head and stared at him with scarlet eyes and said, "Today you have also seen it with your own eyes. The world has planned various ways to reject you. It has been more than a day or two for them to study your weaknesses. Your enemies are standing above all governments in the world and above politics. One day you will cross a certain line, and then they will send me to kill you, and then I will have to fulfill my duties."

He looked up at the sun hanging far away in the sky and sighed: "I originally had so many things to teach you who you are and what you will eventually become in bathing in this sun."

"This involves another issue, Ghost." Superman asked seriously, "Tell me, who are you? You are not Kryptonian, but you are as capable of absorbing solar energy as I do, and we have almost the same ability... So where are you from?"

The ghost turned his back to him, and he remained silent for a while without speaking.

General Ryan's contact interrupted their conversation.

"Ghost, are you here?" the general asked.

"Yes, General, I'm online." The ghost replied.

"It's 'ascension'." General Ryan said in a hurry. "The 'machine' has detected a new reaction about 'ascension', but we don't know what their target is yet. I need you to find out."

"'Machine'?" Superman repeated.

"It is every time the 'ascension' takes action, the technology in our base of the Salt Lake will react. The code name of that base is 'machine'." Ghost explained, "We guess that the technology used in 'ascension' is related to ours. We must hurry back to the base. The machine's response to signals is more sensitive than us. This time, we may be able to track the position of 'ascension'..."

"No." Superman smiled slightly, "You invited me to your house... Now it's time for me to invite you to my house."

Nova Scotia, deep in the jungle.

It's really like in science fiction movies - huge bases, dense jungles, and evil organizations. "Assassination" seems to have really hidden their huge base in this dense forest. Eric and Riven followed a group of "Assination" members in a row. When they were about to be confused, this huge metal building finally appeared in front of them. The main body of the semicircular shell made it look quite novel, but it was not very coordinated in this woods.

When Eric was about to start a war, he offered a truce. Their leader expressed his willingness to take them to visit their base and inform them of the truth about the so-called "the biggest scam in human history."

"It's almost enough to say now?" Eric asked as he entered the building's composite gate. "Who are you? Where did your technology come from? As far as I know, there is no such advanced hacking technology on Earth so far."

"Yes, most people think so." The leader who led the way spoke, "but a few people know the truth, a few traitors of humanity, such as the most recent one, is Sam Lane, General Ryan."

Sam Lane? It seems to have heard of it somewhere...

Eric was shocked.

Isn't that the dad of Superman's genuine girlfriend Louise Ryan?

"General Sam Lane?" Eric frowned. "I feel understandable that you said he was a bastard, but a traitor? Are you sure we know the same person?"

"Oh, he's a traitor." The leader said without hesitation, "and the faces you see now - Linus, Banley, Jaylens, Rogers, they are the biggest traitors in modern history, and they have all been in charge of the largest traitor organization - the 'machine'."

While he was speaking, the digital mask on his face kept changing, and it kept turning into different faces like a switching slide on a screen.

"The 'machine' is a secret department of the US military. It was founded in 1938. After an alien race sent an envoy to contact the earth. The alien's spacecraft was engraved with an equation, explaining to the earthlings how to use the earth's native minerals to innovate technology. Since then, the 'machine' organization has used the ideas brought by this equation to formulate a direction for this country and even the planet. All the progress we have made over the century has been carried out according to their will."

The leader paused and said lightly: "I founded the 'Assassination' to correct all this and create a new path."

"It sounds interesting," Eric asked back, "but how do I believe this is not from a science fiction?"

"The evidence is my family."

The leader said, removing the digital mask and finally revealing his face. It was the face of a brown-haired young man, who looked only in his thirties.

"My name is Jonathan Rudolph, and my grandfather William is the founder of the 'machine'," he said. "Growing up is a strange thing. It allows a person to tell all the regrets in his life in less and less moments of waking up, like pumping water out of a sunken ship. He regretted his crimes against humanity very much in his later years, and now we are trying to eliminate that karma."

"By killing or hacking into other people's technology?" Eric asked back.

"No." The leader stopped in front of a door, "We will deal with themselves with the technology of that equation itself."

He entered the password in front of the door, and the alloy door panel opened dullly, and a dazzling blue light shone out from behind the door, like a sun hidden behind it.

But what is hidden inside is not the sun, but the crystal clear crystals piled up into mountains. The first time I saw them, Eric was deeply attracted by them. There was no word that could describe the beauty of this material. Their transparent bodies emitted a holy blue light, which illuminated the entire room instead of the light.

"We call it 'Earth Stone', the essence of the earth." The leader explained, "This crystal technology material is all from the earth, but it can be comparable to the racial achievements that the entire universe is best at. Every previous attack proves its ability and our level of use. Everything before is nothing but exercises prepared for actual combat."

Eric realized that something was wrong: "What are you going to do?"

"Not preparation, Mr. Charlotte, we have done it." The leader said gloomyly, "We want to bring humanity back to the beginning of everything, and give humanity a chance to climb and grop on its own, rather than using the hands of aliens..."

"...I think we activated all the nuclear bombs on Earth a few minutes ago."
