Chapter 56 Visitors from Another World



"I think you need to cheer up." The system said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Moses was trying to analyze the Flash's abilities and put them back in his mind. It's not like he had never come into contact with humans with super speed. Just last year, because the Assassins' League and Hydra expanded the market demand, the business of kidnapping and selling mutants was so prosperous that the entire gang changed its industrial chain. There were many mutants in the small group under the protection of the Red Hood, which was one of the reasons why he stood up and chose to fight against the Black Mask.

At that time, Batman had heard that there was a young man named Pietro who was sent to the ship by Jason. He had the superpower of moving at high speed and even penetrating objects, but his power did not seem to reach the level of interfering with time. I wonder if it has something to do with his age.

As for the Flash's speed force, it is another unscientific power system in this world where supernatural phenomena are becoming more and more common. But considering that they have already dealt with aliens and gods several times, and there is a real wizard standing next to them, it seems acceptable for the Flash to use strange principles to help Superman speed up.

The steel fingers are connected to a piece of assistive equipment to help the Flash maintain a steady speed interval: "Are you ready?"

System: "I don't know how to describe it to you. As soon as the Flash mentioned the Speed ​​Force, the database transmitted to me by the will of the universe crashed. It debugged twelve times in just half an hour."

"…" Wait a minute?! Isn't this a horrible thing!

System: "My logical calculation results conflict with the expected value. In the end, the program determines that this attempt has a 99.99% success rate. In human terms, it's worth a try?"

But in most cases, people die after trying, my friend——

Moses felt that this development was too unkind to Batman's heart, and he could hear the sound of his blood pressure rising for a moment.

At this moment, the Flash has already started running next to Superman.

The steel skeleton calculated the time, counting down precisely: "Three, two, one—"

"Pause—"

Batman raised his objection in the last few tenths of a second, but the Flash's running speed was much faster than his voice. The sonic boom sounded even before his voice, completely covering the human voice and the hum of the machine. In the end, Moses only had time to see the red whirlwind rising around Superman, the golden lightning appeared out of thin air and enveloped the entire laboratory, and people couldn't help but close their eyes in a dazzling white light like the Big Bang.

At this time, the subsystem in Superman's body was temporarily activated.

"Energy shortage warning, energy shortage warning. Special defense mode activated, awaken the host consciousness, activate emergency plan A. Repeat once more..."

"What's going on!"

When the other people in the laboratory opened their eyes, they found that the roar just now came from Batman's mouth.

Rider Gotan had already arrived at the testing platform, his jaw clenched and his face stern with anger, but the metal platform was already empty.

Superman and the Flash disappeared together.

System: "Calm down, I'm in the process of retrieving it. The subsystem remains online, Superman is fine."

Moses then realized that he had just shouted out questions about the system.

He calmed down a little, turned around and said to the crowd: "It's my problem. I agreed with the plan. However, it turned out that we were not well prepared. This is a lesson."

The mage, who had been silent and seemed unaffected by the bright light, shook his head.

"It's not that there's a problem with any part of your plan. Who did Superman come into contact with before? When the energy exploded just now, I sensed a deeply hidden negative force that didn't belong to the earth. It interfered with my judgment and caused errors in Steel's calculations."

Steel's head turned sharply, and he was shocked to find that he had adjusted the speed threshold without knowing when.

His fingers twitched, and a confused look appeared on the human half of his face: "When did I...?"

Gu Yi closed his eyes.

Her sleeves moved without wind, and she chanted a spell. Moses, with Batman's vision, guaranteed that for a moment, a ghostly shadow that looked exactly like her appeared behind the wizard. Suddenly, her thin, bony palm grasped in mid-air, and she pulled hard as if grabbing a thread. Then, everyone who knew nothing about magic saw that a line of ancient Egyptian writing appeared on the edge of the test table.

The wizard walked over, bent down and stroked the characters.

"It's a long-lost Egyptian magic. Even Kamar-Taj didn't record such a powerful text. Maybe someone is targeting Superman, or maybe it's targeting us."

"What's your solution?"

"We must first locate the target. Any teleportation magic has its own internal rules, and we need to trace the source of the spell to find clues. Ancient magic often focuses on the body more than the spirit - does Superman have relatives in this world?"

“…”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Batman again.

Batman: "What are you looking at me for?"

"No offense." Steel said, "But you know him best among us. I only know that Superman is a Kryptonian. Even General Zod said there was no record of his birth on Krypton when he invaded Earth."

"And he's not married, and he doesn't have any children." Green Lantern said, "I originally thought I could start with the Flash, but..." He finally remembered that even though everyone else had been spoiled, the Ancient One barely knew the Flash's identity. "Well, his parents are dead, too."

This world really doesn't leave any way for homeless, childless, single people.

Just as everyone was frowning and thinking hard, a researcher who had been acting as a background raised his hand cautiously and asked: "We actually have Superman's DNA stored here. Will it work?"

"Wait a moment."

This laboratory was built with funds from the US government and is located in New York. All researchers except Dr. Stone, Cyborg's father, are hired by the government. SHIELD has been paying close attention to the development of the situation, so not long after the alarm sounded, Iron Man, who was off work from Stark Tower, naturally walked in.

Recently, because he is studying the Mother Box and artificial intelligence, he has become very interested in the existence of Iron Man. He comes to have academic exchanges with Silas Stone whenever he has time. The two are so familiar with each other that they don't need to say hello when they meet, and Iron Man even has primary permissions in the laboratory.

But at this moment, Tony looked at Dr. Stone with a sharp look: "Why do you store Superman's DNA?"

"Don't get me wrong." Dr. Stone turned around and opened the computer to show a surveillance video. "We have obtained his consent. And it's not just Superman's DNA. With his help, the laboratory has also tried a variety of weapons research and development tests aimed at killing Superman."

"This is all just in case." He didn't turn around, but looked up at the video and saw Superman nodding in agreement, cooperating to withstand attacks from bullets to kryptonite guns. "Someone always needs to be prepared in advance."

"Of course it's necessary, I don't deny it." Iron Man crossed his arms and said, "But is your security work in place? I won't suddenly find a group of cloned monsters with superhuman genes flying in the sky of New York one day."

“…”

Dr. Stone looked at his still upset son and said, "If you are willing to help, I promise to do my best to avoid that situation."

Tony snorted and Steel turned his head away.

In any case, modern technology saves singles. Although we don't know how the magic of the Ancient One works, it did locate a high-dimensional coordinate through that DNA extract, and then showed another parallel universe that only existed in theory before. It is no longer just a projection of the parallel universe in its own world, like the space fragments that Chou brought Batman to see in Thanksgiving, but it is truly operating as usual in another world line.

"So," Shazan, who was said to have skipped a day's classes to attend the 'currently unnamed' league meeting, said with bright eyes, "Can I understand that Superman and the Flash just traveled through time?"

"Why are you here? Where's Aquaman?"

"Aquaman is busy settling a royal family feud and can't get away."

"As for me." Shazan pointed at himself, with a bit of shyness typical of young people on his face, "Superman promised me that if the alliance is formed, I will be included."

"When did Superman agree?" Green Lantern asked with wide eyes, "Did he consult with other League elders?"

Batman: "Your opinion is about who is better at fighting and who is the boss? I don't think you are necessarily stronger than Shazan."

Shazan: "Batman is always right!"

Green light: “…”

Green Light: "You two met in advance again?"

Is there something wrong with this alliance? !

"It's not me." Batman said, "Shazan and Superman are friends."

"I see. I understand. Superman knows Batman, Superman knows Shazan, and Batman knows Wonder Woman." Hal wiped his face. "Friends of friends are still friends. You can exclude me as much as you want, but Green Lantern will never give in."

Wait, you don't have to feel so naturally excluded?!

Steel cleared his throat and changed the subject seriously: "Okay, Shazan, even though Superman and I will guarantee you, the League is not a school after all. I hope you can respect your colleagues."

Green Lantern: “…”

A second ago he thought Steel was the loneliest person in the alliance, after all he knew no one.

The next moment the ranking was overturned - Shazan and Steel knew each other's true identity, and the former was a fan of the latter.

Is this the office ecosystem?

This is really too scary.

"Let's discuss the question Shazan raised at the beginning. Yes, they can be considered to have traveled through time. Master Ancient One helped us locate the specific location, allowing us to simply observe the situation on the other side and get in touch with Superman."

"From now on?"

"right."

The golden-red halo formed by magic appeared in the air again. But compared with the teleportation array that Master Ancient One had drawn before, which could see the scene of the destination, the picture clarity this time was lower and the field of vision was narrow, only a small circle around Superman could be observed.

The first thing people want to ensure is naturally the safety of Superman and the Flash.

But the development of things was far from what they had imagined.

The moment he saw the focus of the magic observation clearly, Shazan's pupils trembled: "A shrunken Superman... and two Flashes appeared in Gotham at the same time? Is this Gotham? Why does the Batman there look different from the one here?"
