Chapter 31 First Kiss Superman: The CPU burned out.
The player pretended to be very reliable and successfully lured the person into joining the team. With Red Robin's addition, many things became much simpler and easier.
Time was running out, and fearing the Justice League would be sown apart by the vampires and storm the Batcave at any moment, Wen Yue immediately teamed up with Red Robin to trick Superman into coming over. They needed to get their strongest fighter under their wing first.
"Bruce asked me to meet him here?" Superman looked at the house covered in greenery, and his super brain, which hadn't moved for eight hundred years, finally started to work.
"Clark, come in." She wasn't about to let the duck that was already in her mouth escape. Wen Yue waved to him in the sunlight; all the curtains in the room were open, the bright sunshine effectively easing Superman's guard.
Superman's left and right brains battled internally, struggling between going in and leaving, but he finally climbed through the window and entered the room. "Red Robin, where's Bruce?"
"There's no Bruce you're looking for here, only me." The black and yellow cape swayed slightly with her movements. Wen Yue was addicted to cosplaying Red Robin in this world. She lazily rested her chin on her hand, admiring Superman's striking features: a narrow waist, broad shoulders, a tall and imposing figure, a full forehead, and deep-set features. His handsome face had distinct contours, making him look like an ancient Greek statue. His looks were otherworldly.
I'll go back and form the Justice League, and watch Superman while I eat.
"Alright, everything I'm about to say is true. No matter how shocked you are, listen to me." Wen Yue gave a heads-up.
“First, Nightwing is the Vampire King. Then, Zatanna is a vampire, and Green Lantern Hal is also a vampire. He killed Zan and the Flash, and transformed Wonder Woman. Currently, they plan to frame Batman for the murder of the Flash. You'll find out more at the Justice League meeting later… Hmm, is there anything you want to say?” Wen Yue noticed Superman's hesitant expression, afraid the child would hold it in.
"How did you know?" Superman was completely bewildered. The information in those few words was overwhelming. Was Red Robin really that amazing? Who's Superman, you or me? How come you're even more of a Superman than me? Superman's super brain seems to be failing him.
Wen Yue, with a smug look on her face, as if to say, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm a cheater with a god-like perspective," casually put on her sunglasses, snapped her fingers, and said, "You'll soon find out how I know. Come here, I'll show you the evidence." The player held out his palm, gesturing for Superman to place his hand on it.
Superman was somewhat suspicious that it was a conspiracy and a trap set to disrupt his thinking, but looking at the sincerity in the other person's eyes and the skin of his body that was unharmed under the direct sunlight, Clark still hesitated before extending his palm.
The moment their palms touched, it felt as if a blazing flame warmed their entire bodies. Their clasped hands refracted dazzling light like diamonds, shining brighter than the midday sun.
Golden light converged from their intertwined hands, condensing into a vibrant halo in the void. The dazzling halo flowed and time turned leisurely, like a long river of time branching off from the sea of time, spreading out a dreamlike, hazy glow.
[Angel Halo: 1%...0.5%...]
Many images flashed before his eyes. Superman saw the memories the player wanted him to see: Dick was betrayed by his family and painfully transformed into a vampire; the scene shifted, and he became the Vampire King, eliminating the peace-loving Blood Queen Mary and the Legion of Destruction; the scene quickly jumped, pausing at Green Lantern dealing with Andrew, Zan, and the Flash, before finally fading away with the cause and effect of transforming Wonder Woman. The camera panned, and Clark, from a god-like perspective, reviewed the original history of this world, the investigation experiences of Gotham and other superheroes, freezing on the Joker's mocking smile as he died drained of blood, finally ending with Batman piercing his heart from behind and Nightwing's cold smile behind him.
Wen Yue shared her memories of reading comics with Superman, but after the player achieved his goal, the scene in front of Clark did not end.
As his gaze slowly rose, everything gradually blurred, and Clark's perspective became magnificent. The shimmering sea seemed to swallow and exhale the eternal, crimson sun, while pristine white cirrus clouds drifted gently, changing their forms with the passing of dawn and dusk. Everything in this world eventually comes to an end; only by forgetting oneself and merging with all things can one truly feel the boundless expanse of life…
An emergency interruption of energy transfer, preserving aura energy to save the player from near-death experiences.
[Angel Halo: 0.1%]
"Damn it," Wen Yue thought helplessly, watching Superman collapse from CPU overload. What to do? She hadn't expected Superman to be so fragile. The player felt a pang of guilt, wondering if she had accidentally injured her own teammate.
Considering Superman's low magic resistance, a flash of inspiration struck the player, and they grasped the key point: Superman is out of mana.
What if Superman runs out of mana? No problem at all. Wen Yue took out a mana potion from her game inventory, which she'd always kept as a decoration. It was perfect for replenishing mana when she was low, and it finally came in handy today.
only……
As his consciousness returned to his body, Superman woke up with a lingering, bittersweet taste of medicine in his mouth.
Wen Yue subtly wiped away the glistening tears from the corner of her mouth, and stammered, her eyes darting around as she explained, "I saw you faint just now, so I restored some of your mana."
Seeing that Superman was alright, Wen Yue felt a great sense of relief, but this time she really had to trust the players; an unconscious person couldn't swallow on their own...
Superman remained silent, knowing that delving into the matter would be bad for everyone. He pursed his lips and changed the subject: "I think I just saw your perspective, the vast and magnificent feeling of looking down on everything."
"I understand, this is the shell's built-in perspective, we can skip this problem." The player started muttering incomprehensible words again. The main body and the clone have been unified, with world fragments contained within. The world's origin and authority are hidden deep within this body, and now, fused with the cheat halo, there is a certain probability of seeing the magnificent perspective of the world's consciousness.
Superman chimes in: "I see something else too, you're Batman."
"I am, but it's a secret. Let it be our secret, and we'll keep it quiet from everyone." Wen Yue blinked, revealing a sweet smile. "I saw your future in another world, a world plunged into eternal night, where vampires took over the earth. By chance, we came here, and a unique fate has allowed us to cooperate. We will definitely not let the original ending repeat itself."
"What should we do?" Superman routinely abandons his super brain and skillfully installs an external brain.
“There are no unsolvable problems in this world, only the unknown. And now, we have the perspective of an omniscient God.” Wen Yue took off her sunglasses and domino mask, revealing facial features that were completely different from Bruce’s in this world, but equally three-dimensional and perfect.
Eyes as clear and bright as the sky sparkled like precious jewels in the sunlight. Bruce from another world looked at Clark with those same gentle eyes, a confident smile on his face: "In that case, we'll play along..."
The key step in the plan is joining the group, and information exchange among teammates is of paramount importance. Clark opened his phone in a daze: [The Fourth Calamity] has invited you to join the group chat.
The group chat name is far ahead of the competition—[Another World Bat Squad Joins Local Superheroes to Save the World in the Demon King's World (In Progress)]. It's clear the person who named the group has a lot to say.
Abstract group member notes: Not to be outdone - Group Owner [Fourth Calamity].
Group chat members: [Red Date Dafu]; [Sweetheart Little Wings]; [Duck Detective]. Your nickname in this group has been changed by the group owner to [Happy Superman].
Clark was also amazed today; he silently watched the screen.
[The Fourth Calamity]: Welcome our newest member! The initial formation of the savior team to fight against the vampire king Nightwing has been established, and our main DPS has arrived!
[Red Date Daifuku]: Welcome! This world's super #￥%＆!
[The Fourth Calamity]: ?
[Sweetheart Wings]: Jason, I told you that stuffing kryptonite in your helmet would affect your vision, you almost crashed into a tree, didn't you?
[Duck Detective]: ...
[The Fourth Calamity]: I've told you so many times, Jason, your hood isn't a sack, don't stuff everything in it.
Upon seeing this, Clark couldn't help but wipe his forehead; perhaps the sun was too bright and the weather was a bit hot, as he was sweating profusely.
[Happy Superman]: Hello everyone.
After a two-second silence, the group simultaneously flooded the chat with messages:
[The Fourth Calamity]: Welcome!
[Sweet Little Wings]: Welcome!
[Duck Detective]: Welcome!
Despite such an enthusiastic response, Clark trembled in the sunlit Hall of Justice: Why wasn't Jason saying anything? Was he tired of pretending and planning to take action?
Clark endured five long seconds of his life.
[Red Date Daifuku]: Welcome!
Clark's heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly relaxed.
Once this matter was over, a new topic emerged in the group chat.
[Fourth Calamity]: @DetectiveDuckDuck, could I borrow your camera? I desperately need it.
[Duck Detective]: Which one?
[The Fourth Calamity]: ...As expected of you, Red Robin, the real camera.
[Fourth Calamity]: A style that can be tied with a cross belt buckle.
[Duck Detective]: OK!
[The Fourth Calamity]: Nightwing's plan begins tonight. Sowing discord within the Justice League is just the first step. After Hal and Diana leave, @HappySuperman can openly announce the truth to the other Justice League superheroes.
[Happy Superman]: Received!
[Fourth Calamity]: Don't rush to get the Justice League involved in the fight. Stay hidden and observe from the sidelines, just like I said before, and wait for my signal.
[Happy Superman]: Understood!
[Fourth Calamity]: Of course, if I'm being dominated and can't even spare a hand to send a signal, don't suspect me of throwing the game. I'm really bad, so come and save me, okay?
[Happy Superman]: I know!
[Red Date Dafu]: Heh.
[Sweetheart Wings]: Hehe.
[Duck Detective]: ...
[The Fourth Calamity]: Eradicate vampire tyranny, and the world belongs to humanity. Let's go, everyone! Keep it up!
A cacophony of voices filled the Justice League lobby.
Superman closed his phone, and Wonder Woman, accompanied by the rest of the Justice League, approached him. With a grave expression, she said, "We found some evidence last night that Batman killed Barry Allen..."
The vampire stage is set; come if you dare! The villains crying "stop thief!" have finally been outmaneuvered by these corrupted superheroes turned vampires. Just as the players predicted, Wonder Woman, claiming Batman is a true vampire bat, immediately organizes the Justice League to confront Batman.
Superman nodded heavily, feeling bitter. His former comrades had become his enemies, using their past friendship and sense of justice as a weapon to stab his teammates.
As Wonder Woman and Hal led the charge into the Batcave, Superman, a step behind, stopped the other superheroes who were completely unaware of the deception. "Calm down, everyone. Batman has never been our enemy. The real enemies are the vampires—the transformed Diana and Hal..."

Author's note: The player lost their first kiss, but they simply made the same mistake that all the Fourth Calamities make.

Destroy human tyranny, and the world will belong to the Trisolarans! Hehehe!
