The planet Bai Qi mentioned was the one they had entered after passing through the portal into the Super Universe.
Bai Qi wasn't particularly keen on developing the planet, as he had too many other things on his plate. Although he had sent responsible individuals to assist with its development, he hadn't inquired about the matter yet.
Savage sighed helplessly and said, "Holy Lord, you truly have a big heart. Aren't you afraid I'll take the entire planet for myself?"
Bai Qi smiled and replied, "How could that be? What kind of relationship do we have? Besides, you, Savage, are not that kind of person."
Although Bai Qi smiled and spoke pleasantly, giving the impression of a close acquaintance, the truth was far from it. It was merely a matter of maintaining appearances. The reason Bai Qi dared to be so assured was primarily due to his own strength and shared interests with Savage.
Therefore, Bai Qi wasn't worried about Savage betraying him on this matter. After all, there were quite a few mutated creatures belonging to Bai Qi on the planet. While these mutated creatures were usually docile and obedient, with a single command from Bai Qi, they could transform into the most formidable weapons.
Savage grinned and said, "The native creatures on the planet have been mostly cleared out, and many with exploitable value have been tamed. Next is the mechanized modification of the planet."
Bai Qi and Savage had previously discussed the future of this planet in detail, ultimately reaching a consensus: to transform the entire planet into a colossal spaceship.
Do not consider this a fantasy; the DC Universe has precedents for transforming planets into spaceships.
There was a character named Mogo, who enjoyed piloting a spaceship called "Warworld" across the universe, forcing thousands of slaves to conquer alien worlds and perform gladiatorial combat for him. The "Warworld" he piloted was a massive mobile fortress transformed from a planet.
Savage had interacted with Mogo in the past and had some understanding of his Warworld.
However, neither Savage nor Bai Qi had a penchant for watching gladiatorial combat. They intended to build a pure war machine.
This was undoubtedly a monumental undertaking, but the combat power it would possess upon completion would be astonishing.
It could not only defend against external invasions but also serve as a mobile fortress to explore the Super Universe, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Of course, even with Savage and Bai Qi pushing this endeavor, transforming an entire planet would take a considerable amount of time.
Following this, Bai Qi discussed other matters with Savage.
After all, some things were not suitable for discussion at the Hall of Justice meetings.
A week passed quickly.
In the lobby of the Hall of Justice.
"Is that all?"
The previously harmonious atmosphere was shattered by a slightly enraged voice.
The speaker was none other than Green Arrow's protégé, Speedy.
Looking at the veteran members of the Justice League, Speedy said indignantly, "You told us to sneak into the real core area, not just to wander around."
In response to Speedy's questioning, Aquaman calmly stated, "This is the first step. You have gained valuable access."
"Oh? Really?" Speedy pointed at the spectators taking photos behind the large glass ceiling above and said irritably, "Who cares which side of the glass we're on?"
"Roy, you need to be patient."
Seeing Speedy's demeanor, his mentor stepped forward.
However, even when facing his mentor, Speedy remained insistent, "What I need now is respect!"
Then, Speedy turned to the other followers behind him, Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad, and said, "They treat us like children, setting this up. We are assistants, and we deserve better treatment."
Speedy's passionate speech was intended to garner support from the other three. However, judging by their expressions, they showed no inclination to help him.
Speedy asked in disbelief, "No way, you agree with their actions? Why? This was supposed to be the day, the first step to becoming a full member of the Justice League."
"Of course," Kid Flash said casually, "I thought the first step was a tour of the headquarters."
It was evident that they all held a mistaken belief, mistaking this place, which anyone could visit, for the actual headquarters of the Justice League.
Was that the case?
Certainly not.
Speedy's mention of the Watchtower caused the other veteran members of the Justice League to look at Green Arrow with displeasure, especially Batman, which made Green Arrow feel uneasy.
With no other choice, Green Arrow said, "I know, I know. I thought we could make an exception... Never mind."
Aquaman couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Complaining here won't help. Step back, child, or else..."
Before Aquaman could finish, Speedy retorted, "Or else what! Kick me back to my room? I'm not your son, nor his."
Speedy was already very disappointed, and with Green Arrow not speaking up for him, he was utterly enraged. Speedy threw the hat off his head and stormed away in anger, his intentions clear: he was breaking ties with the Justice League.
Watching Speedy storm away, the atmosphere in the lobby chilled to the bone. Fortunately, at this moment, the large screen lit up, and Superman's figure appeared before them.
"Superman to Justice League. An explosion has occurred at the Cadmus Project laboratory, causing a fire."
They gathered before the screen. Batman said indifferently, "I've always suspected Cadmus. This is an excellent opportunity for investigation."
As soon as Batman finished speaking, another man in a suit appeared on the screen.
"Zatanna to Justice League. The sorcerer Wotan is attempting to obscure the sun using the Amulet of Aten. Requesting the League's full deployment."
Upon hearing Zatanna's report, Superman understood the priority. Compared to the sun, a fire at Cadmus was a minor issue.
"The fire is not significant. Local authorities have it under control."
After gathering all the intelligence, Batman made a decisive statement: "We can put the Cadmus matter aside for now. All members report to Zatanna's location."
Hearing the news, Robin and the other two perked up. They had thought they would be accompanying them on a mission, but instead, Batman, Aquaman, and Flash had effectively silenced them.
But did anyone believe that three impetuous young men would just stay put?
Don't be ridiculous.
As soon as the Justice League left, the three of them sprang into action.
Since the entire Justice League was busy, they would reluctantly handle the Cadmus problem.
Indeed, the computer system here was the same as the one used in the Batcave. Robin cracked it in less than a minute and retrieved all related data.
