Chapter 129: 126
This was the perfect time to recruit humanity and apparently I wasn't alone in this line of thought. Hawkgirl had beaten me to the punch and with her history as a heroic figure it was an easy sell. Now day by day more Thanagarians have arrived under the pretense of aiding earth.
With the earth's newest alliance my talks about the god emperor were being suppressed by the world governments. Fortunately thanks to many fans and ethnic groups like mutants and Atlantians their plans failed spectacularly. With the rise of groups like Force users the world governments were receiving a lot of push back for attempting to supress this issue.
During my downtime I began prepping as Cortona hacked into their systems and discovered the truth of the Thanagarians. Informing my allies led to many groups doing the same some even sent invites. The two of particular note was the light and the Cabal although I wasn't surprised it was nice to know that they were taking this seriously. The invitations didn't overlap so I could easily do both and I planned to do just that as the best thing to do in these scenarios was to make friends.

Miranda Lawson POV (Black Technology HQ Gotham)
Thanks to new policy orders by the government it has become difficult to push out new products in our company's usual break neck speed. After the war with Apokolips one would assume that restrictions would loosen not tighten. Some companies remain mostly unaffected due to their significance or tenure, a few others through personal connections. These restrictions were likely put place to slow down our development as since the company's conception it has made significant changes to the world.
This desperate move was likely due world leaders fear of losing their ever dwindling power and possibly a suggestion from earth's newest friends from Thanagar. These fools are so afraid of losing control that they were cutting their nose to spite their face. Cortana already uncovered conclusive proof that they are trying to cripple humanity. It won't be long before they try to position themselves as benevolent overlords.
Lady Mechanika: Ms. Lawson Bruce Wayne is here to see you again
Miranda: Doesn't he have his own company to run why does he bothering me?
Lady Mechanika: should I send him away?
Miranda: If he is here to flirt again then yes. If it's about business then send him in. I need to discuss future cooperation between us and his company. As much as likes to pretend he isn't a brainless fool.
Bruce: Glad that you think so. I'm sorry but I got bored waiting and decided to come to you.
Miranda: I take back what I said you are indeed a brainless idiot
Bruce: I thought I was supposed to be fool not an idiot
Miranda: That was before you opened your mouth
Bruce: Ouch

Raven POV (Titan Tower Jump city)
The connection with Trigon has been steadily getting weaker with each new treatment from Julian. I know that he isn't altruistic by any stretch of the term but his disdain for my father seems real. His hatred for the enemies of humanity was proven in the war against Apokolips and I am certain that he doesn't trust the Thanagarians at all. He was most likely preparing for a all out conflict with them and has more than likely encouraged his allies to do the same.
My friends don't like that I have been seeing him for help regarding my condition but they aren't fully aware of what my condition is. Robin tried suggesting going to Dr Fate to receive help but I doubt that he could. I have been researching for years about my condition but without any hint of success. Julian is the only one that until now has proven to curb my inner demon and my connection with my father. I can't lose that not when it seems to be my sole hope at true freedom from my father.

M'Shen POV (Thanagarian embassy of Gotham)
My lord has seen through the lies of the xeno menace that seek to enslave humanity and control over holy Terra. We are beyond the reach of the Glorious God Emperor of mankind so our divine mandate is to locate the next beacon of Humanity. We cannot allow humanity to fall so before they enact their plans it will be up to me and my acolytes sabotage them at every opportunity without alerting them. This should give my lord the time he needs to mobilize a counter offensive.
