Chapter 5453 - Chapter 4480: Dark Overture (26)_2

The news about the royal family swapping artifacts is not unfounded; it indeed happened. It was actually Martians infiltrating the royal family, using a charity gala as an opportunity to swap artifacts, with the aim of concealing the fact of Martians' existence.

For many years, Martians have been preparing across Earth, not only continuously eliminating various types of evidence of Martian existence but also cruelly silencing those who were aware, all to deceive the human race, one day to seize Earth in one swoop.

To this end, they have long infiltrated the upper echelons of various countries, covertly manipulating elections, controlling the populace, while erasing those criminal evidences, thus enabling the matter to remain concealed for so many years.

Disguising themselves as members of the royal family, they swapped the mural and then framed Diana, all to tarnish Diana's reputation, thereby causing people to distrust the Justice League.

This news, once released, created a huge uproar. The artifact swap issue was already hot, and this sudden reversal took everyone by surprise. Major media outlets raced to report, and the new version of the "Frenes Snake" image quickly spread worldwide.

People easily noted that the image of the small Egyptian figure closely resembled Ron. More importantly, what they're doing is carrying a Pharaoh's coffin.

Connecting with previous Ancient Egyptian legends, namely Tutankhamun slaying the snake, many wondered: could this coffin hold Tutankhamun? But why would Martians carry his coffin?

This inevitably led people to conspiracy theories, especially linking the news revealing Martians disguised as royal members swapping artifacts, potentially already infiltrating the upper echelons of countries. If Martians were even there during that time, could the Egyptian Royal Family have been infiltrated too?

This possibility is very high. After all, in such an advanced technological society, they can silently infiltrate upper-class society, so during that era, it could truly be called effortless.

More boldly speculating: could Tutankhamun have already been replaced by Martians? The mural depicts them killing Tutankhamun, transporting his corpse and taking his place image?

But this brings another issue: if Tutankhamun had been replaced, why did he slay the snake? Is that snake not also an alien?

Soon, related personnel discovered inconsistencies from the details of the legend. In this legend, Tutankhamun hacked a red and blue snake, but Martians have green skin, what relation do they have with red and blue?

Meanwhile, another piece of news was revealed: there isn't just one group of aliens on Earth.

This is of course evident. After all, Earth is like that cosmic accident-prone area, an intersection without traffic lights, various odd flying crafts crash-landing here, and indeed have accumulated many aliens over the years.

However, this so-called red and blue alien race is particularly renowned, as it once was among the most advanced civilizations in the cosmos, hailing from the distant Krypton.

Don't ask who revealed this news—just after the Christmas holiday ended, Mr. President delivered another televised speech.

"Hello, human friends. You must be wondering why I address you this way. Because even though everyone knows well, I wish for everyone to consider me one of you. But today, I must tell you a truth, that I am indeed an alien."

"You must think I'm a Martian, as the Martian issue is very hot right now, and I look so much like you, no differences can be seen in my appearance. You might think I'm a good Martian."

"But in fact, I indeed am an alien, but not a Martian. My homeland is much farther than Mars. I hail from Krypton, a very beautiful planet."

At this point, the director inserted a piece of footage. It was shot when Clark was on Krypton, of course it wasn't voluntarily shot by him, it was shot by a camera Bruce left on him. But it was filmed very clearly. And Krypton was highly artificially modified, when shooting from above, you can even clearly see the mechanical structures supporting the planet, this is definitely not human creation or a special effect or anything, it's evidently a highly developed alien civilization.

"Here is my beautiful homeland. My ancestors and parents were born here, and I was too. Slightly different is, I was sent to Earth by my parents using a spaceship right after birth. I grew up on Earth, raised by human parents, a small-town boy farming in Kansas State."

"I believe you've already noticed, such a beautiful alien city appears somewhat old, very desolate, and none of my kin are here. This is actually because Kryptonian civilization has long been extinct."

"Our societal exploration was insufficient, coupled with overexploitation of resources, the entire planet faced disintegration risks. Those loose structures you see are products formed after the explosion. And those cities lucky enough to not be blown to fragments, have no people inside either, as everyone died in the radiation. Only I survived, because my parents sent me on a rescue ship before their deaths."

"And what you see on the famous mural, depicting the red and blue snake, is precisely the image of the Kryptonians. The daily uniform I wear as Superman is actually Krypton's conferment dress."

At this time the director inserted another shot, capturing Superman's uniform: red and blue, with a big "S" on the chest.

"During the Ancient Egyptian period, a Kryptonian officer visited Earth. That General, just like me, couldn't distinguish between humans and Martians. Due to lack of precaution, he was killed by Martians disguised as Tutankhamun. And this, was carved by an Ancient Egyptian sculptor who witnessed it. He knew he couldn't be discovered, hence kept the mural sealed until discovered by British."

"After the mural was brought back to England, it remained hidden in the British Museum, never exhibited. Historical records about it are very few, you could say nonexistent. This is precisely the result of Martians meticulously erasing evidence, altering history."

"Yet, even so, they were not reassured. Taking advantage of the royal family charity gala, they completely swapped out the mural, erased all adverse information about them, just to hide their existence."

"Human friends, although I too am an alien, I detest the actions of Martians. Kryptonian civilization has already perished, I'm the only remaining orphan, but have never thought of reviving on Earth—that's disgraceful robbery!"

"Moreover, the vengeance against Martians' conspiracy to murder my kin thousands of years ago, cannot go unavenged. Whether as the human president or as a Kryptonian orphan, I will never let them off. Please trust me, I will always stand with you."
