Chapter 572 Modifying the Past
Fortunately, the she-wolves were agile and weren't hit by the falling boulders, though they were definitely startled.
Diana was dumbfounded and couldn't help but turn to Andrew. Andrew spread his hands, 'I already warned you, but you didn't listen, so you can't blame me.'
Let alone a mere idol, even Zeus himself would suffer the same fate if he dared to intimidate Andrew with his majesty.
Diana looked at Andrew, her brows tightly furrowed. The being behind Andrew was actually so powerful that even Zeus's divine power couldn't contend with him?
"If it's a benevolent being, that's fine, but if it's an evil being, then it's going to be troublesome."
Diana was worried. Evil beings were like loan sharks; the more benefits they gave you, the more returns they would demand in the future.
With the collapse of Zeus's idol, Queen Hippolyta naturally had no mood for any welcome ceremony, so Andrew moved into Themyscira.
"Besides Diana, Themyscira also has a good thing, and that's the mother box. But there's no rush; we'll talk about it in a few days."
Andrew thought to himself, concentrating on taking photos on Themyscira. To be honest, he was quite interested in the Amazonians' way of life.
Uh, there shouldn't be any accidents this time, shouldn't be.
At night, Queen Hippolyta and Diana were discussing what had happened earlier. Queen Hippolyta said:
"Diana, for this to happen, either that wild man is a noble being, or he has a noble being behind him.
The former is almost impossible, as he was just a mortal before. I suggest you leave him. That wild man will not come to a good end."
"He's not a wild man. His name is Andrew Wang."
Diana said, displeased, "No matter what happens to him in the future, I will always stay with him. I've already lost him once, and I will never lose him again."
"Seeing a man ruins a lifetime."
Queen Hippolyta shook her head. She said, "Diana, I know why you're here, but the treasures left by Zeus are the foundation of the Amazonians, and I cannot risk them.
If they were to shatter like Zeus's idol, our Themyscira would be in great danger."
"I know. I didn't expect the being behind him to be so terrifying."
Diana sighed. She said, "Mother, I'm sorry for destroying Zeus's idol."
"This matter is my own responsibility; you cannot be blamed."
Queen Hippolyta shook her head and said, "Since you have chosen that wild man, no matter how unwilling I am, I will bless you both."
"Thank you, Mother."
Diana hugged Queen Hippolyta, then turned and left the house to find Andrew, only to see a group of women fighting in front of Andrew's house.
These women were startled when they saw Diana and quickly ran away.
Diana was very puzzled. She walked into the house and asked Andrew, "What's going on?"
"These women probably wanted to sow discord between you and me, so they came to seduce me. I tricked them into fighting each other with just a few words."
Andrew laughed, "Diana, I recorded the whole process. Come and enjoy it with me.
As good as you Amazonian women are at fighting, that's how bad you are at seducing men. Hahaha, it's hilarious."
"They are too naive."
Diana leaned over and watched the video for a few moments, then couldn't help but laugh along. It was truly too difficult to ask Amazonian women to seduce men.
Back then, Diana didn't seduce Andrew Wang either; they were mutually attracted, and things happened naturally, like dry wood and a raging fire, unstoppable… Uh, I can't say anymore below.
"Andrew, I have two purposes for returning this time: one is to gain the blessing of my people and completely confirm our relationship, and the other is to borrow the treasures within the tribe to investigate the secret behind you."
Diana sat in front of Andrew and said, "For this, I apologize to you."
"It's a small matter, no big deal."
Andrew waved his hand. He said, "Actually, I didn't lie to you. Why don't you try accepting the premise that 'I am the God of Creation'? It might feel quite exciting."
"How can I accept that?"
Diana complained, "If you said you turned into an angel after death and returned to the human world through countless hardships to find me because you couldn't bear to leave me, I might believe it. But the God of Creation? How can I believe that?"
"You're quite good at imagining things. Haven't you heard the saying, 'the more impossible something is, the more likely it is to be the truth,' hmm?"
Andrew was speaking when his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and cursed, "Which bastard is changing the past?"
Diana was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Andrew held Diana's hand and said, "Don't let go of my hand. Someone has traveled to the past to alter history, and this world is about to undergo a drastic change."
"Traveling to the past, altering history?"
Diana was stunned, "Is that real? Also, even if history is altered, it should only be a local change, right? Why are you so nervous?"
"Don't be misled by movies. Exceeding the speed of sound creates a sonic boom. Traveling through time creates a temporal boom, like detonating explosives in the river of time."
Andrew said, "When that happens, the entire world will change, a world-shaking change."
Diana couldn't understand. She was about to ask again when the house suddenly vanished, and at the same time, all of Themyscira fell silent, a deathly silence.
"The world has reset."
Andrew said, "We must find that scoundrel who altered the timeline as soon as possible and make him change the timeline back, otherwise, the timeline might become fixed."
Diana, however, didn't pay much attention to that. She stood up and looked around, finding that all the Amazonians had disappeared, leaving only empty houses.
"Mother…"
Diana grew anxious and immediately ran towards Queen Hippolyta's house, only to find that the Queen's house was gone, replaced by a large statue of Queen Hippolyta, with a stone tablet next to it recording the Queen's life.
Amazonian women were buried at sea, so there were no graves.
Also, according to the inscription, Queen Hippolyta had died a hundred years ago.
"How could this happen?"
Diana was stunned. She cried out in disbelief, "My mother actually perished, and Themyscira was destroyed?"
"Diana, don't worry. The Amazonians are fine. Even if something did happen, as long as the timeline is changed back, everything will return to normal."
Andrew comforted her. Then, he released Alice and commanded, "Control the satellites, hack into the network. I want information on the New World."
Alice immediately began to comply: "Yes, BOSS."
Diana quickly asked, "Andrew, why do you say the Amazonians are fine?"
"Because these houses are undamaged, and all the valuable items inside have been taken away."
Andrew said, "That means the Amazonians are fine; they just moved."
"Why move? What kind of change would make the Amazonians collectively move? We've lived here for thousands of years."
Diana was shocked. She searched all over Themyscira and found that the protective magic array left by Zeushad also been taken away.
Andrew was right; the Amazonians really had moved.
"I wonder if the mother box was taken away?"
Andrew's eyes flashed. He released a large number of nanobots to search for the mother box on Themyscira. Soon, he discovered the mother box's location—inside a giant building on the cliffside.
This building had been sealed, but of course, that didn't stop the nanobots.
The nanobots entered the building through a crack. Inside, there was a high platform, and on the platform, a bronze box was placed—that was the mother box.
Thousands of years ago, Apokolips's big BOSS Darkseid, with three Mother Boxes and countless Parademons, invaded Earth, but was repelled by the combined forces of humans, gods, Amazonians, and Undersea People. Three Mother Boxes were thus left on Earth.
Mother Boxes have many functions, such as opening Boom Tubes to Apokolips, and inter-particle conversion.
If a house was burned down, a mother box could turn the ashes back into a house. Additionally, it could transform life and death; Cyborg was resurrected by mother boxenergy.
When all three Mother Boxes are gathered, they are even enough to change the world, completely transforming a planet.
Andrew had originally intended to study the mother boxwhen he came to Themyscira. He had been worried that Queen Hippolyta would stop him, but now he didn't have to worry.
Because the Queen was gone, and the Amazonians were gone, uh, how did this happen again?
Andrew instructed the nanobots, "Dig a hole and get me the mother box. I'll study it thoroughly and see how to trick people?
Cough, wrong, it's to see how to prevent evil from happening. I'm a positive character."
Not long after, Alice's holographic projection popped up from Andrew's phone. She said, "BOSS, I've gathered all the information on this world."
Andrew said, "Tell me in detail, especially about the Amazonians."
Diana quickly asked, "Where did the Amazonians move to?"
Alice replied, "The Amazonians moved to London. They have conquered it and named it New Themyscira."
Diana was a little confused, "The Amazonians conquered London?"
Andrew said, "Alice, start from the beginning."
"Yes, BOSS."
Alice said, "A little over a year ago, Atlantis and the Amazonians reached a peace agreement. Aquaman, and Queen Anna…"
Diana was stunned, "Queen Anna?"
"Yes, Queen Anna. There is no Diana in this world, only Queen Anna, and her title is also Wonder Woman."
As Alice spoke, she projected an image of Queen Anna.
Queen Anna's appearance was not at all similar to Diana's, but her equipment was identical to Diana's.
Diana looked puzzled, "How could this be?"
"It's simple. You were protected by me, and the world spawned a new Wonder Woman."
Andrew explained, "Because of my existence, this Wonder Woman's appearance and name have undergone some changes.
In short, she is not you. In this universe, you are unique. The Wonder Women of derivative planes and other timelines are not you."
When Andrew achieves multiversal status in the future, he can make all the Dianas in all universes change, but that's for later, to be discussed then.
Diana looked at Andrew in surprise. She had originally not believed at all that Andrew was some God of Creation, but at this moment, she couldn't help but waver.
Then, Diana shook her head. It shouldn't be, because that was too exaggerated. My boyfriend is the God of Creation? You can't even make that up.
Diana took a deep breath and said, "Alice, continue."
"Yes."
Alice said, "At the peace banquet, Aquaman and Queen Anna hooked up and had an affair. Later, Aquaman's wife Mera found out about their affair, and Mera went to Queen Anna to confront her.
During the confrontation, the two women clashed, and Queen Anna cut off Mera's head. The Undersea Peopleand Amazonians thus went to war again."
"…"
Diana was dumbfounded. This development was too exaggerated, too absurd, wasn't it?
The Amazon Queen hooked up with Aquaman? Then the mistress killed the original wife, and Aquaman sent troops to avenge his original wife?
By the way, is Queen Anna of this world a bit blind? Aquaman is not only a savage, but he also doesn't like to bathe. How could she stomach him?
Andrew said, "Continue."
"For some unknown reason, Queen Anna abandoned Themyscira and conquered London to become her new territory. During this process, hundreds of thousands of humans died."
Alice continued, "To eliminate the Amazonians, Aquaman launched a massive tsunami towards Europe, causing over a hundred million deaths. New Themyscira, being protected by Zeus, suffered almost no losses.
Currently, the Undersea People and Amazonians are still at war. According to the American Military's analysis, they are about to have a decisive battle, and when that happens, who knows how many more people will die.
At the same time, the remaining humans in Europe formed a resistance army, fighting against both the Atlanteans and the Amazonians.
The American Military once dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet to attack the Atlanteans and Amazonians, but it was completely annihilated."
"All because of an affair? Causing over a hundred million deaths?"
Andrew and Diana were both very annoyed. Mistresses and affairs are your own business; you can mess around however you want, but causing over a hundred million deaths for a melodramatic relationship is simply too much.
Diana said bitterly, "These two guys deserve to die. I will kill them both with my own hands."
"Don't be angry. As long as the timeline is restored, everything will go back to normal."
Andrew said, "If I'm not mistaken, this incident should have been caused by Flash. Alice, do you have any information on Flash?"
"Flash caused it?"
Diana was stunned. Such a huge event was actually caused by that timid, cowardly boy who often tripped while running?
"There is no Flash in this world, but there is Barry Allen. He is a very ordinary college student."
Alice checked and said, "Also, unlike the original world, Barry Allen's mother is not dead in this world, and his father is not in prison. His life is very happy."
"It seems Barry altered his own past, causing the world to undergo earth-shattering changes."
Andrew shook his head and wasn't surprised. Flashresetting the world wasn't a one or two-time thing.
Diana quickly asked, "So, as long as we find Flash and make him change history back, everything can be restored to normal?"
"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, there might be some issues."
Andrew said, "Barry is very kind. When he finds out he caused so many deaths, he will definitely want to make amends. But the world hasn't returned to its original state, which means something is wrong with him.
Alice, pinpoint Barry Allen's location. We're going to find him."
Chapter 573 Old Batman
Alice searched for a moment, then replied, "BOSS, Barry Allen is currently on his way to Gotham City by car."
"Then we should also hurry to Gotham."
Diana said, "By the way, why aren't Superman and the other Super Heroes stopping the war between Aquaman and Queen Anna?"
"Superman has never appeared in this world."
Alice said, "Additionally, there's no Iron Man or Green Lantern in this world. Among the original Justice League, only Batman and Cyborg exist."
"No Superman? No wonder it's such a mess."
Diana had a bit of a headache. She said, "We must find Barry as soon as possible and have him change everything back."
"Indeed, it needs to be changed back quickly."
Andrew nodded. The cosmic consciousness wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous this world would become.
Then, Andrew constructed a fighter jet using nanobots and said to Diana, "Let's go, to Gotham."
Diana, already accustomed to Fiora as a mode of transport, gave the fighter jet a disdainful look and asked, "Isn't Fiora here?"
"Diana, you've changed. You used to love it when I took you for a spin in a fighter jet."
Andrew first complained, then explained, "I can't truly intervene, so I can only protect you, who has a close connection with me. I can't protect others.
Alright, without further ado, let's leave quickly. Alice, lead Tony Stark to Gotham. We don't have time to go to New York to find him."
Tony hadn't become Iron Man yet because he hadn't met the person who gave him three moles—uh, wrong, it's because he hadn't met Andrew and had his memories reawakened by Andrew.
"Okay."
Diana stopped talking nonsense and boarded the fighter jet with Andrew, heading for Gotham.
…
Flash is currently panicking. What should he do after accidentally causing such a huge disaster, killing over a hundred million people? Waiting online, urgent.
Previously, Flash ran at superluminal speed and successfully returned to the night his mother was murdered. Then, he successfully stopped the yellow figure, preventing him from succeeding.
To Flash's surprise, the yellow figure also possessed the Speed Force, and his strength was on par with his own. Therefore, although he successfully stopped the opponent, he couldn't capture him, and he escaped.
Flash thought for a moment and didn't pursue the opponent, but instead returned to the original time point.
Then, Flash joyfully saw both his parents at home, meaning he had succeeded; he had saved his mother and, at the same time, cleared his father's name.
Flash was very happy, but just half an hour later, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling all over.
Aquaman and Wonder Woman going to war, resulting in over a hundred million deaths worldwide? What the hell is this?
Flash didn't know about those two guys' love triangle because it was classified information, unavailable online. Alice knew because she hacked into military servers.
Not only that, in the New World, Superman, Mr. Wang, and Green Lantern no longer existed. Mr. Stark did exist, but he was just Mr. Stark, not Iron Man.
What terrified Flash even more was that he had lost his Speed Force, meaning he couldn't go back in time and change everything back.
Flash was at his wit's end. Finally, he decided to seek out his 'mentor,' Batman, for advice.
Flash was, after all, a Super Hero. He couldn't bring himself to sacrifice over a hundred million lives for his parents. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have gone back to change history.
Then, Flash traveled by car to Wayne Manor, looking for Batman.
"Why is Wayne Manor in the New World so dilapidated, like a ruin?"
Barry was startled. He opened the mechanism and entered the Batcave beneath the manor. Then, he was knocked to the ground by Old Batman.
Batman didn't believe a word Barry said. He grabbed Barry's left hand and said in a low voice, "Stop making up lies. Tell me, who exactly are you, and why do you know my identity? You have ten chances. For every wrong answer, I will break one of your fingers."
"I really am Flash, Batman, Bruce Wayne. You've always taught me to fight. You're my teacher, so I came to you first."
Barry shouted, and then he let out a scream as Batmanbroke his finger.
"I'm not Bruce Wayne. Bruce is dead."
Batman said ferociously. Barry was bewildered. This world's Batman wasn't Bruce?
This world's Batman was indeed not Bruce Wayne, but Bruce Wayne's father, Thomas Wayne.
Decades ago, the Wayne family was robbed by a vagrant. In the Main Universe, Thomas and Martha were shot, but in this world, Bruce Wayne was shot.
Afterward, Thomas Wayne became Batman, protecting Gotham, while Martha Wayne, her face stained with Bruce's blood, became the Joker.
That's right, this world's Joker is Martha. She and Batmanare truly a couple.
"God, what have I done?"
Barry wailed. He shouted at Old Batman, "I was wrong, but I can fix all of this, Mr. Wayne, please believe me, I'm not lying, Ah!"
Old Batman, with his inherited paranoia, naturally wouldn't easily believe Barry and continued to break his fingers, pressing for answers.
Just then, there was a clang from upstairs. Old Batmansharply turned his head and saw Tony Stark, a famous New York millionaire, retreating in horror.
Why was Tony here?
He was led here by Alice. Alice hacked into Tony's server and invited him to meet at Wayne Manor. Tony was always arrogant; he wanted to see for himself who this master hacker was.
Therefore, Tony brought two bodyguards to WayneManor but found no one. He thought for a moment and had the two bodyguards search inside the manor.
The two bodyguards found nothing, but Tonyunexpectedly found a passage leading underground. His cursed curiosity drove him to go down, and as soon as he entered, he saw Batman beating Flash.
Tony was startled, making a noise that alerted Old Batman. Seeing Old Batman look over, he quickly turned and fled.
Old Batman released Flash, preparing to chase Tony. Just then, two figures appeared at the doorway.
Old Batman's brow twitched. When did his Batcavebecome public knowledge? Wasn't this a big secret?
The moment Tony saw Andrew, his original memories immediately returned. He blinked and complained, "Andrew, was it necessary to arrange a meeting in a place like this? Wouldn't meeting at Stark Tower be better?"
Tony only recovered his Main Universe memories; he didn't recover the memories of this universe.
"We'll talk later, just come down with me first."
Andrew waved his hand. He looked at the wary Old Batman and asked in surprise, "You don't seem to be Bruce Wayne?"
"Mr. Wang, he is Bruce's father, Thomas."
Flash, seeing Andrew, was as excited as if he had seen a relative. He shouted, "You should still remember me, right? Miss Prince, what about you, do you remember me?"
"Don't worry, I remember you, Flash, who messed up the world."
Diana snorted coldly. Because of Flash's meddling, over a hundred million people died worldwide, and what was worse, many more might die next.
Also, Wonder Woman actually had an affair with Aquaman? What the hell was that?
Fortunately, Andrew protected her and created a new Queen Anna; otherwise, she probably would have wanted to commit suicide.
Flash gave an awkward laugh, then breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone familiar had appeared.
With Mr. Wang's abilities, he could definitely fix everything, just like those previous disasters.
In Flash's mind, Mr. Wang was more reliable than Batman.
Old Batman frowned. He asked, "What this kid said earlier, is it true?"
"Yes, before the world changed, Batman was your son, Bruce Wayne."
Andrew nodded. He said, "I have some photos you can look at."
After speaking, Andrew had Alice display several photos of Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Looking at Bruce with greying temples in the photos, Old Batman's expression gradually softened. Then, he looked at Diana and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why are you wearing Queen Anna's clothes?"
Diana snorted coldly, "I am the true Amazon Princess. That embarrassing woman is not me."
Tony shouted, "Hey, what exactly is going on? The more I listen, the more confused I get!"
"It's like this."
Andrew briefly explained the situation. Tony was astonished: "So, I've already woken up once, and this is the second time?"
"Yes."
Andrew nodded. He took out a spherical object and handed it to Tony, saying, "Inside are nanobots. Get the Iron Man Suit ready as soon as possible."
"Alright."
Tony didn't waste words. Although the situation this time was a bit strange, he had seen everything. Disasters happened every few months in the Main Universe, didn't they?
Then, Andrew asked Barry, "Barry, there's a problem with your Speed Force, isn't there?"
Barry nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I've lost my Speed Force. Otherwise, I would have gone back and corrected the mistake I made long ago.
Mr. Wang, it's great that you're here. You can definitely help me regain my Speed Force."
Andrew Wang was the First Scientist; with him here, there would definitely be no problem.
"Your Speed Force was generated by a particle accelerator explosion. We can set up a small particle accelerator laboratory to simulate the conditions at that time. There's a very good chance it will allow you to regain your Speed Force."
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "However, this method is very dangerous. If it fails, you are very likely to die."
"I must try. No matter what, I must change everything back to how it was."
Barry said firmly, "This is my mistake, and I must atone for it, even if it means death."
Old Batman and Diana's expressions softened slightly. Although Barry had caused a great disaster, his heart was still good.
Flash was the conscience of the Justice League.
Andrew nodded and said, "Very good. Tony, Old Batman, you two are responsible for setting up the laboratory. Any problems? I'll provide the technical aspects; I've studied that particle accelerator device."
"No problem."
Old Batman and Tony exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. Money was a minor issue.
Then, everyone began to prepare. Just then, Cyborg came to find Old Batman.
Chapter 574 Plan
"It's really busy here today."
Old Batman complained, then he met Cyborg at WayneManor, and he asked coldly, "Cyborg, what's the matter?"
"The President wants to form a Super Hero Squad to deal with Aquaman and the Amazon Queen."
Cyborg said, "Batman, only you are qualified to lead this squad. Without you, the Super Hero Squad simply cannot defeat Aquaman and the Amazon Queen."
In this world, Cyborg's identity is the President's security advisor, considered an official figure.
Old Batman shook his head, "I'm not interested. Super Heroes can't stop Aquaman and the Amazon Queen."
Cyborg hurriedly said, "Lex Luthor and Deathstroke sacrificed themselves. Before they died, they located the Aquaman device. That device has been charging for months.
That is to say, Aquaman still plans to use that device, and then the whole world will be covered by seawater."
The Aquaman device is the one that causes tsunamis. As mentioned before, the Atlanteans have the ability to submerge the entire world.
Orm didn't intend to do this, but the Aquaman of this world really intends to do this.
Iron Man and Diana, who were eavesdropping behind, were both startled at the same time. Aquaman actually planned to play such a big game?
"Arthur is much more ruthless than Orm. The Aquaman device must be destroyed."
Andrew touched the ring on his hand and thought to himself—Ghost Rider came with him, after all, Ghost Rider is his consciousness clone.
Old Batman was also a little surprised. He said, "I said forming a team is useless… huh, maybe not useless."
If it were the original Super Heroes, it would indeed be useless, but with Flash, Princess Anna, Iron Man, and that very mysterious Mr. Wang, it might not be useless.
"Cyborg, give me some time to consider."
Old Batman said, first to see if Flash can recover his Speed Force. If he can, nothing needs to be done. If not, they must stop Aquaman and the Amazon Queen.
Cyborg said, "Okay, as soon as possible. The President has prepared a trump card against the Aquaman device. He hopes both sides will launch simultaneously."
"Okay."
Old Batman sent Cyborg away and continued to set up the laboratory.
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "I think it's necessary to find out where Superman is. Maybe he can be useful."
Andrew was looking for Superman mainly because he was worried about General Zod and his group attacking Earth. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't happen, but the cosmic consciousness would definitely not stand idly by.
If the delay is too long, Kryptonians will definitely appear, and even other monsters, such as Parallax, will also appear.
According to Alice's investigation, Kryptonians and Parallax had not appeared in this world before.
"Yes, we need to find Superman. In case something goes wrong on my side, we'll need Superman to save the world."
Flash nodded repeatedly. No one could guarantee that he would succeed. They couldn't put all their hopes on him.
"I don't know who you're talking about, Superman, but based on the information you provided, I found a clue."
Old Batman pointed to the screen and said, "More than thirty years ago, a meteorite struck Metropolis, causing a huge explosion.
Afterward, the American Military sealed off the explosion site and secretly transported away everything inside. That meteorite is very likely related to the Superman you mentioned."
"So, the Superman of this world didn't land on a farm and get adopted by the Kents, but crashed in Metropolis and was taken away by the American Military?"
Andrew said, "Alice, access the American Military server and look for information related to this."
"Yes, BOSS."
Alice immediately began to investigate, and soon, she said, "The American Military secretly built a laboratory in Metropolis. This laboratory has extremely high clearance, and even I cannot breach it."
"Metropolis Laboratory?"
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "Diana and I will go to that laboratory to take a look. Tony, Old Batman, you continue to set up the laboratory."
"Okay."
Old Batman and Tony did not object. Then, Andrew and Diana left the Batcave and headed to Metropolis.
After the two left, Old Batman asked Tony, "You seem a bit special?"
Tony shrugged, "Very special, but that doesn't stop me from being a Super Hero, a successful Super Hero."
Old Batman glanced at Tony, not pressing further. He asked Flash, "Can you tell me about Bruce's situation?"
"Yes, but I don't know much. He always acts cool. He never uses three words when two will do."
Flash nodded, rambling, "Also, he's very strict when teaching people. Every day is hellish training. To teach me how to fight at high speed, he actually set up a lot of traps on the playground…"
Old Batman listened while working, his eyes full of relief. This kid was practically cut from the same cloth as him.
However, there was one difference: Old Batman did not shy away from killing, while Batman never killed.
Old Batman shook his head secretly, "You're afraid of becoming like them, but this way, you'll exhaust yourself to death."
Under the "money power" of Old Batman and Iron Man, a small laboratory was quickly built in a deserted area of Gotham.
This small laboratory could replicate the particle acceleration experiment. By the way, this laboratory cost the two tycoons 100 million US dollars. Of course, they certainly didn't care.
As soon as the laboratory was ready, Andrew and Dianareturned from Metropolis.
Diana's expression was not good. Flash asked, "Miss Diana, where is Superman?"
Andrew turned around, pointed at the emaciated man behind him, and said, "Here."
"That's Superman?"
Flash was dumbfounded. This terrified, super-thin man, this poor wretch, was actually Superman?
Superman is a god among men!
"Damn the American Military! After they captured Superman, they kept him in an underground laboratory for research. He's never seen sunlight in his life."
Diana said bitterly, then she glared at Flash, thinking, "Look at the mess you've made."
"Never seen sunlight? I'm sorry."
Flash looked at Superman, filled with guilt. A few simple words were enough to explain how much torment Superman had endured.
Facing Flash's apology, Superman hid behind Andrew, completely afraid to make contact with Flash.
Flash felt even more guilty. Andrew said, "When it's daylight, let Superman get some sunlight. With his physique, he'll recover to normal very quickly."
Old Batman said, "Don't waste time, Flash. To make up for everything, survive the experimental explosion."
"I will definitely survive and restore everything."
Flash said with great determination. Tony said, "Without further ado, let's leave the laboratory and start the next step."
"Okay."
Everyone nodded and left the laboratory, leaving only Barry inside.
Barry looked at the device in front of him, clenching his fists tightly: "I must succeed. Only then can I make up for everything."
"Barry, it's starting."
A moment later, Tony activated the particle accelerator. The particles accelerated continuously inside the device. At first, it was normal, but soon, streaks of electric light began to appear around it, indicating that the device was losing control.
The particle acceleration experiment had never succeeded, and this time was no exception. As more and more electric light appeared, the device finally exploded with a bang.
In the dazzling electric light, Flash was blasted away, his body charred black.
"Flash's life signs have disappeared."
Old Batman and Iron Man shouted simultaneously, then they exchanged glances, their eyes full of surprise: "You also secretly installed a miniature life detector on Barry? What a coincidence."
"I really dislike this guy."
Old Batman and Iron Man thought at the same time. Clearly, the same sexes were starting to repel each other again.
Just then, their life detectors simultaneously produced a heartbeat sound. They quickly looked up at the sky, only to find Barry had disappeared.
Immediately after, Barry appeared beside everyone, the charring on his body rapidly disappearing. This was the Speed Force's healing function.
"I got my Speed Force back."
Barry was ecstatic and immediately ran into the distance. He wanted to travel through time and restore everything to how it was.
Everyone immediately felt hope, but unfortunately, not long after, Barry ran back, saying disappointedly, "No, I can't run at light speed. I feel like my power is incomplete, as if a part of it was stolen."
After a pause, Barry said, "It might be that yellow figure. He has Speed Force just like me. He might also be in this world."
"I knew it wouldn't be that smooth."
Old Batman shook his head. He had experienced countless disasters in his life, and none of them had ever been easily resolved.
Tony and Diana were a little disappointed, but not too surprised.
"Barry, tell Alice the detailed information about the yellow figure. Alice, search globally for the yellow figure."
Andrew instructed. That yellow figure should be Flash's archenemy, Reverse-Flash.
Andrew didn't understand the current plot, but he had heard of Reverse-Flash.
Reverse-Flash comes from the future and can steal Barry's Speed Force. Barry's speculation is most likely true.
"Okay, Miss Alice, that yellow figure is like this…"
Barry immediately reported, and Alice quickly searched global intelligence. A moment later, she said, "On the European battlefield, Miss Louise Lane was once saved by a yellow lightning bolt. He might be the person you are looking for."
"European battlefield?"
Everyone frowned. The European battlefield, where the Undersea People, Amazons, and resistance forces were in a chaotic battle, was very dangerous.
"Since he's on the European battlefield, we'll go to the European battlefield to find him."
Diana said with murderous intent, "It's a good opportunity to get rid of Aquaman and Princess Anna. They don't deserve to live."
"They certainly don't deserve to live."
Old Batman nodded in agreement. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to agree to Cyborg's request and use the official power to form a Super Hero Squad to go to Europe and resolve this matter together.
If we can get the Speed Force back, that would naturally be best. If not, we will deal with Aquaman and the Amazon Queen and make the world safe again.
Of course, this matter needs to be carefully planned; it's not that simple.
By the way, you guys broke into the base earlier, were you not discovered by the American Military?"
Chapter 575 War breaks out
"Diana charged in from the front," Andrew said with a smile. "But she used Queen Anna's face."
Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter. Even if Queen Anna said it wasn't her, no one would believe it.
Andrew said, "Without further ado, Old Batman, contact Cyborg immediately. Once we're ready, we'll head to Europe right away."
Everyone nodded, "Alright."
Andrew continued, "Barry, go talk to Superman and see if he's willing to join the battle. If not, we won't force him. Super Heroes shouldn't be forced."
"I understand. I'll tell him everything and let him make his own decision."
Barry nodded. Although he was a bit afraid to see the other party, he had to take responsibility for his own actions.
...
North Sea, Europe, Atlantis Sea Base.
Arthur Curry (Aquaman) looked at the masked Orm and asked, "Is everything ready?"
In this world, after Orm was defeated by Arthur, he became Arthur's subordinate. He also harbored deep hatred for the Amazons because Queen Anna killed Mera.
"It's ready."
Orm nodded, "The army has gathered and can land on New Themyscira at any time."
"Very good. Inform everyone that we'll depart first thing tomorrow morning. Send out the scouts tonight. I want to kill those she-wolves and avenge Mera."
Arthur gritted his teeth, saying, his heart filled with guilt for Mera. If he hadn't cheated, Mera wouldn't have died.
"A decisive battle tomorrow?" Orm was surprised, "Isn't that a bit too rushed?"
"My intuition tells me that tomorrow is the best day for the decisive battle. Humans and Amazons must have already discovered our gathering. The longer we drag it out, the more prepared they will be."
Arthur said, "Tomorrow it is. I'll leave Karasen to guard the Poseidons Trident device. Humans will definitely try to raid the base."
Orm didn't object. He said, "With Karasen's strength, plus our army, it's enough to guard the Poseidons Tridentdevice."
"Also, have the Scientist install a quantum remote control system on the Poseidons Trident device. If we win, everything will be fine."
Arthur said, "If we lose, we can only activate the Poseidons Trident device. Otherwise, humans and Amazons will not spare us. Racial wars are always a matter of life and death."
Orm nodded, "No problem. I'll have the Scientist design the remote control system overnight."
Arthur let out a breath, looking towards Themyscira in the distance, and said, "Everything depends on tomorrow."
...
New Themyscira, Anna was wiping her Vulcan Sword. She deeply regretted falling in love with Arthur Curry (Aquaman) and was determined to destroy Atlantis and make Arthur Curry (Aquaman) pay the price.
"I was just defending myself."
Anna snorted, telling her guards to prepare all their trump cards. The Undersea People could launch an attack at any moment.
...
A secret base in America near Europe, General Lane brought Hal Jordan to an Alien spaceship.
"This Alien spaceship crashed in Coast City a year ago. There was an Alien inside, but he died before entering Earth."
General Lane said, "We've spent a lot of effort studying this spaceship over the past year and are now able to activate it."
This spaceship was actually Abin Sur's spaceship. Unlike the original world, Abin Sur in this world died too quickly and didn't allow the Green Lantern ring to find a new owner.
Therefore, Hal Jordan was just an ordinary pilot, not a Green Lantern.
Hal asked, "Cool, what do you want me to do?"
"Fly this spaceship and crash into the Undersea People's sea base to destroy the Poseidons Trident device."
General Lane said, "The decisive battle is about to erupt. If Arthur Curry (Aquaman) wins, it's fine. But if he fails, he will definitely unleash a worldwide tsunami, wiping out all land dwellers. To prevent this from happening, we must destroy the Poseidons Trident device and protect Earth."
Hal dropped his playful demeanor and said, "I accept this mission. I'm writing my will now; all glory and compensation go to my girlfriend, Carol."
General Lane was a little surprised, "Don't you want to reconsider?"
"Although I'm not a good person, saving the world is my duty."
Hal said, "I'm the best pilot in all of America. I won't disappoint you."
"The military will send the Air Force to fully cooperate with you."
General Lane nodded and saluted Hal, showing his respect. This mission was a suicide mission from the start.
Hal returned the salute. He wasn't afraid of death, but some things just had to be done, didn't they?
...
Outer Space, General Zod and his people were flying their spaceship, searching the entire universe for Kryptonian's outposts and strongholds, hoping to find any surviving Kryptonians.
Unfortunately, for decades, General Zod only ever found corpses.
"Is Kryptonian truly finished?"
General Zod was somewhat despairing. Just then, the Scientist excitedly shouted, "I've successfully deciphered it! I know which planet Jor-El sent Kal-El to back then!"
"Really?"
Everyone was overjoyed at the same time. The Scientistnodded, controlling the steel particles to form the shape of a planet, and said, "It's Earth. Kal-El and the book of rao are both on Earth."
"We're heading to Earth immediately."
General Zod immediately ordered. With the book of rao, they could rebuild Kryptonian!
...
The next day, morning.
On the large transport plane, Old Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Flash, and Green Arrow, among other Super Heroes, sat in their seats, either nervous or excited, waiting for the decisive battle to begin.
Cyborg sighed, "I didn't expect the Undersea People to launch the decisive battle so quickly. Our plan was completely disrupted. Rushing there now is too hasty, too rushed."
"The enemy won't act according to our arrangements. That's common sense."
Old Batman said, "Things aren't too bad. While the Undersea People and Amazons are in their decisive battle, we'll rush into the battlefield, deal with Arthur Curry (Aquaman) and the Amazon Queen, and complete the decapitation plan."
"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly. The resistance will send troops to help us."
Cyborg first nodded, then he looked at Diana and asked, "Who is this?"
Diana's equipment was identical to Queen Anna's, which made not only Cyborg but also the others suspicious.
"I'm the captain, and I make the decisions for this team. She's one of us."
Old Batman said coldly. He didn't mention anything about the original world because not everyone wanted everything to return to normal.
"You're in charge."
Cyborg shrugged, then looked up and asked, "Are those two outside really okay?"
"They're fine, at most they'll catch a cold."
Old Batman told a cold joke. Everyone rolled their eyes and remained silent.
Above the transport plane, Superman, wearing an eye mask and looking emaciated, absorbed the sunlight while excitedly telling Andrew, "Mr. Wang, I feel full of power! But there are so many sounds around, my mind is a mess."
"It's simple. You just need to focus your attention on what you want to focus on."
Andrew smiled, "Besides your body becoming stronger, you'll also have Heat Vision, x-ray vision, flight, freeze breath, and other abilities. In the original world, you were called a God among men."
"A God among men?"
Superman gave a bitter smile. He said, "I just want to be an ordinary Earthling."
"The Superman of the original world had the same idea as you."
Andrew said, "Kal-El, thank you for being willing to fight for us."
Andrew's thanks made Superman a little embarrassed. He said, "That original world was better than this one. Not only was I fine, but everyone else was fine too."
Andrew sighed endlessly. This was Superman, who, after being captured by the military and used as a test subject for decades, still hadn't turned dark and was still willing to fight for others.
"How could such a person turn dark in the future?"
Andrew shook his head, continuing to sunbathe with Superman and tell him about the original world's Superman.
Superman's eyes lit up as he asked, "Did the me from the original world have a girlfriend? What did she look like?"
Andrew laughed. A man's nature, understandable.
At the same time, the Undersea People army, through relentless bombardment, successfully broke through New Themyscira's magical defenses.
Then, countless spaceships and specially modified hydro-powered tanks entered New Themyscira, which was originally London, rushing towards the Amazon Queen's palace.
Midway, the surrounding buildings suddenly collapsed from the middle, falling onto the spaceships and tanks below.
Seeing this, the spaceships and tanks immediately fired plasma energy cannons to blast the falling buildings.
Boom, boom, boom! The buildings were continuously blown apart, and a shower of stones and bricks rained down from the sky. Many spaceships and tanks were damaged.
"Amazons!"
Immediately after, a large number of fierce Amazons appeared from the remaining buildings. They drew their bows and shot arrows, which pierced through the spaceships and tanks, causing them to explode with a roar.
The spaceships and tanks immediately counterattacked. The surrounding buildings continuously exploded under the energy cannon bombardment, and many Amazons screamed as they fell.
At this moment, the ground vibrated, and a group of giant monsters rushed out from underground, rampaging through the streets, overturning many tanks.
These monsters, including Hellhound, Minotaur, Medusa, and others, were the Amazons' trump cards.
With the help of the monsters, the Amazons gradually gained the upper hand, and the Undersea People quickly retreated.
Just then, accompanied by a ripple, a large number of spaceships and tanks appeared at the rear of the battlefield. It was the Undersea People's holographic stealth technology.
"Kill the Amazons!"
On the spaceship, Arthur Curry (Aquaman) raised Poseidons Trident and shouted furiously. Orm, Aqualad, and Black Manta immediately led the Undersea Peoplearmy to charge and wipe out the Amazons.
In this world, Black Manta, like Orm, was a subordinate of Arthur Curry (Aquaman).
"Kill the Undersea People!"
Queen Anna's figure appeared. She raised the Vulcan Sword and led the Amazon army to charge, a dense rain of arrows covering the area.
Thus, the Undersea People and Amazons began a fierce battle in the streets and alleys of New Themyscira, with explosions and screams everywhere.
"Anna!" "Arthur!"
Arthur Curry (Aquaman) and the Amazon Queenconfronted each other immediately. They both hated each other to the bone, and Poseidons Trident and Vulcan Sword simultaneously aimed at each other's vital points.
No matter what their relationship was before, now they were mortal enemies.
The battle here was monitored by humans throughout. The resistance leader said, "Batman and his team are coming soon. When they arrive, we'll help them tie down the generals and soldiers of both sides so they can successfully complete the decapitation mission."
"Understood."
Everyone nodded. They all harbored deep hatred for Arthur Curry (Aquaman) and the Amazon Queen.
Louise Lane was also among the resistance, holding a submachine gun. She was originally a reporter, venturing into New Themyscira to gather news. As a result, she was discovered by the Amazons.
In a critical moment, Louise was rescued by the resistance. She realized that news couldn't save the Europeans, so she directly abandoned her pen for the sword.
On the other side, the America Air Force and Hal departed simultaneously for the location of the Poseidons Trident device. Hal took a deep breath. He knew that whether he succeeded or failed, he wouldn't return, but he wasn't afraid because he had a more important mission.
Hal thought firmly, "Undersea People, you won't get away with wiping out us land dwellers."
At the same time, the Kryptonians were observing this great battle. They had arrived last night and had been sunbathing.
"This yellow sun here is very young and can give us powerful strength."
General Zod was very excited. He said, "I want not only the book of rao, but also this yellow sun. Activate the World Engine! I want to transform Earth into a new Kryptonian."
The Scientist asked, "General, shouldn't we find Kal-Elfirst?"
"No need to find him. After we launch the attack, he'll come to us on his own."
General Zod shook his head. He said, "While Earth is at war, let's start our plan directly."
"Good."
The Kryptonians all nodded. Then, the World Enginedetached from the Kryptonian spaceship and headed to the Indian Ocean.
At the same time, the Kryptonian spaceship flew to Metropolis, still planning to reshape Earth with gravity.
"They're here so soon?"
Andrew looked up at Space and sneered inwardly. He had guessed the Kryptonians would come, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically sought out Superman.
Superman in this world was not as strong as General Zod's professional soldiers. Fortunately, General Zod and his team had just arrived on Earth and had a fatal weakness.
"Iron Man!"
Andrew shouted into the communicator. Iron Manimmediately flew out of the cabin and asked, "What's wrong?"
"A group of Kryptonians has arrived..."
Andrew briefly explained the situation, then he said to Superman and Iron Man, "I want both of you to destroy the World Engine."
"I can't do it, can I?"
Superman said without confidence, "Can we talk to them? We don't necessarily have to fight."
"Unless we're willing to give up Earth, there's nothing to talk about."
Andrew shook his head and said, "Kryptonians are strong, but they have a fatal weakness. Also, the World Enginehas appeared in the original world, and I have a way to deal with it."
After speaking, Andrew handed the steel particles and a bomb to Tony, "The steel particles can help you deal with the Kryptonians, and this gravity bomb can help you destroy the World Engine."
"Leave it to me."
Tony took the two items and said, "Superman, take me there. When we arrive, you can try talking to them first. If we can't reach an agreement, then we'll act."
"Alright."
Superman nodded, grabbed Tony's arm, and flew with him towards the World Engine. At first, Superman's speed was very slow, but as time passed, his speed became faster and faster, and he soon disappeared.
Chapter 576 Ghost Rider vs. Kryptonian
"With Superman and Iron Man there, we don't have to worry about the World Engine, and as for Metropolis…"
Andrew thought for a moment, then had Ghost Ridertransform into a streak of fire and swiftly head to Metropolis. After all, Ghost Rider's existence was already known to the cosmic consciousness.
This way, the main forces against Aquaman and the Amazon Queen were unaffected, and the decapitation plan should proceed smoothly.
"Ghost Rider, just in case, deal with the Kryptonians as quickly as possible."
Andrew instructed, and Ghost Rider chuckled, "Don't worry, it'll be quick. I'm a magical creature, and as everyone knows, Kryptonians have zero magic resistance."
At this moment, the transport plane arrived above New Themyscira. Old Batman stood up and said, "Prepare to parachute. If anyone has doubts, you don't have to jump. This time, not many people will come back alive."
"You really know how to boost morale."
Cyborg grumbled. Then, everyone began preparing to parachute, and not a single person wanted to back out.
They were all Super Heroes.
"It's about to begin."
Andrew instructed, "Alice, hack into the global network and broadcast television, and live stream both decisive battles."
Fame and the power of fear would not disappear with the restoration of the timeline, so Andrew naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity.
"Yes, Boss."
Soon, Alice took control of the global network and television. Then, all televisions and computer screens simultaneously displayed two side-by-side images.
The left screen showed the battlefield on New Themyscira, where the Undersea People and Amazons were fiercely fighting.
The right screen showed Metropolis from above, where the Kryptonian spaceship had already reached its destination.
The public was confused. What was going on?
At this moment, Alice's voice sounded: "Currently, Earth is facing a life-and-Death crisis. On the left, the Undersea People and Amazons are in a decisive battle.
The Undersea People have activated the Aquaman device. If anything goes wrong, they will immediately activate the device and unleash a massive tsunami to flood the entire globe, killing all land dwellers."
The public was in an uproar. Everyone knew that Aquaman was capable of such a thing; six months ago, he drowned over a hundred million people.
"That's not all."
Alice continued, "On the right are the Kryptonians. They are preparing to use the World Engine to terraform Earth's gravity and atmosphere. Once the terraforming is complete, all Earthlings will die."
As Alice spoke, General Zod gave the command to begin. Then, the World Engine activated, and a gravity wave slammed into the sea, causing countless seawater to float upwards, and the surroundings vibrated violently.
The Kryptonian spaceship activated its device to receive the gravity wave, and countless cars and debris below flew into the sky. Moments later, they all crashed down with a series of thuds, scaring the surrounding public into frantic flight.
"It has begun, Earthlings. Good luck."
Alice said, and the public was dumbfounded. What the fuck? Two world-ending disasters at once? Were they being overestimated?
Many people prepared to run, but then they realized, what was the point of running? With these two world-ending disasters, Death was inevitable no matter where they hid.
One citizen despairingly asked, "Is all we can do now just wait for Death?"
"No, we can still pray, pray to God and the Super Heroes to save the world."
Another citizen knelt on the ground and said. The people around him gave bitter smiles. Some followed suit and knelt to pray, while others ran home as fast as they could to see their families.
There were also some who, under the pressure of Death, completely let themselves go, doing things they had always wanted to do but never dared, such as stripping off their clothes and running around wildly. After all, everyone was about to die.
As for taking advantage of the situation to commit crimes, that was a basic activity in America, so there's no need to elaborate.
Whether it was the Marvel Universe or the DC World, every disaster inevitably saw people taking advantage to commit crimes and wreak havoc.
"fuck, the Undersea People and Amazons aren't dealt with yet, and now Aliens are showing up? Also, who is controlling the TV?"
General Lane couldn't help but curse. In this world, Martian Manhunter had not descended to Earth, so most matters were handled by General Lane.
"Misfortunes never come singly."
An Asian couldn't help but sigh. At that moment, the President's voice came through the phone: "Don't worry about who's controlling the TV for now. Is what the TV says true? Do the Aliens want to wipe out humanity?"
"It's true."
A Scientist said, "If we don't stop them, in two hours, there will be no living beings left on Earth, including the Undersea People and Amazons."
Everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted upon hearing this. An aide suggested, "Perhaps we can tell the Undersea People and Amazons about this. That way, they might stop fighting and unite with us against the Aliens."
"That's a good idea, but there isn't enough time. The Batman team is the same; they can't make it back in time."
General Lane said, "Now there's only one way to solve this: launch nuclear missiles."
Everyone fell silent, their gazes turning to the President. The President hesitated for a moment and said, "We can't launch nuclear missiles at Metropolis, but the other side can. Bring the box over.
Also, send the remaining air force to attack the Alienspaceship over Metropolis."
Moments later, two nuclear missiles, carrying the world's hope, shot towards the World Engine. It must be said that DC's nuclear missiles sold much better than Marvel's.
The Kryptonian spaceship detected the threat of the nuclear missiles immediately and launched satellite weapons. Soon, the two nuclear missiles were destroyed by lasers descending from the sky.
In terms of technology, humans were far behind the Kryptonians, and in terms of physical bodies, well, even further behind.
At the same time, a large number of fighter jets appeared over Metropolis. General Zod, seeing this, disdainfully said, "A bunch of foolish natives. Fiora, Raymond, go out and deal with these fighter jets so they don't interfere with the gravity terraforming."
"Yes, General."
Fiora, wearing a defensive mask, nodded and led three Kryptonians, riding flying devices, out of the Kryptonian spaceship—they couldn't fly yet.
Then, the Kryptonians launched their attack. Some punched through cockpits, pulling out the pilots and casually tossing them away. Others used jumps to directly destroy fighter jets.
Still others threw heavy objects at the fighter jets. Before long, an entire air force squadron was completely destroyed.
At the same time, Metropolis suffered more damage from the crashing planes, and many areas were engulfed in raging fires.
"These Aliens are too powerful, aren't they?"
The President and General Lane were dumbfounded. Even Aquaman and the Amazon Queen were probably only this strong, right?
The public, seeing the nuclear missiles and fighter jets shot down one after another, grew even more terrified. Even nuclear missiles were useless, did they still have hope?
"Is Earth really going to be destroyed?"
Countless people were filled with despair, and even the official government was no exception. Just then, a black streak of fire descended upon Metropolis, stopping in front of the Kryptonian spaceship.
Immediately after, a cool figure, engulfed in black flames, appeared before the audience.
At the same time, at the World Engine, Tony and Superman arrived—the camera primarily focused on Ghost Rider, occasionally switching to Tony and Superman.
No choice, Ghost Rider was the main character.
"Who are they?"
The official government and the public were first stunned, then hope rose in their hearts. These people, perhaps they could save the world!
"What is that?"
The Kryptonian named Raymond saw Ghost Riderstanding proudly in the air, snorted coldly, shattered the ground, and leaped hundreds of meters high, a punch carrying a terrifying sonic boom, heavily smashing towards Ghost Rider's head.
Ghost Rider tilted his head to dodge. Then, with a flick of his finger, a ball of fire slammed into Raymond's shield.
The shield shattered instantly. Raymond shook his head, preparing to continue his attack, but at that moment, sounds, smells… countless sensations flooded his mind. He couldn't help but cover his head and scream, dropping to the ground with a thud.
"He found our weakness."
General Zod's eyes narrowed. He shouted, "Scientist, send a flying device to rescue Raymond. The rest of you, come with me to deal with this guy. Remember, protect your shields."
His intuition told General Zod not to underestimate his opponent, so he immediately went all out, leading six Kryptonians to surround Ghost Rider.
There were eleven Kryptonians in total. Two were guarding the World Engine, the Scientist was controlling the Kryptonian spaceship, Raymond was temporarily unable to fight, and the remaining seven all confronted Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider glanced at General Zod and his group, then said very honestly, "Seven of you, I'll deal with you within five minutes."
"Arrogant."
General Zod was furious. He led Fiora and three others, riding flying devices, rushing towards Ghost Ridersimultaneously from four directions. Then, their fists, carrying violent whooshing sounds, heavily slammed into Ghost Rider's body.
Ghost Rider snapped his fingers, and the flames on his body erupted violently, forming a wave of fire that simultaneously sent General Zod and the four others flying.
The flying devices beneath their feet instantly exploded, causing them all to fall to the ground. And this was not the worst part.
What was the worst part? It was that General Zod and the four others were all entangled by Hellfire. They tried to pat out the flames, but they couldn't, and the flames even spread to other areas.
Hellfire, after all, had magical properties.
The remaining three Kryptonians, seeing this, lifted cars and threw them at Ghost Rider, preventing him from chasing General Zod and his group.
Ghost Rider raised his hand, and all the cars simultaneously melted into liquid. Then, he threw three balls of Hellfire, which merged with the liquids, transforming into three spiraling, high-temperature spears.
Finally, the three high-temperature spears, accompanied by sonic booms, shot towards the three Kryptonians simultaneously.
The three Kryptonians quickly dodged. The high-temperature spears instantly sank into the ground, completely disappearing.
Ghost Rider no longer paid attention to the three Kryptonians. He condensed fire into a whip and swung it forcefully towards General Zod.
To catch the bandits, first catch their leader.
"The flames on that guy are problematic. We absolutely cannot be hit by them again. Scientist, send down weapons to us."
General Zod's expression changed, and he quickly leaped into a nearby skyscraper. The citizens inside the skyscraper had already fled.
Ghost Rider flicked his hand, and the flaming whip sliced through the skyscraper, relentlessly pursuing General Zod.
General Zod fled at his fastest speed. Moments later, he crashed through glass and leaped into another skyscraper. The original skyscraper was directly split in two by the flaming whip and collapsed with a crash.
Chapter 577: Solved
Ghost Rider was about to continue chasing General Zodwhen three Kryptonians jumped beside him, and three Kryptonian spears, like lightning, stabbed towards his head, chest, and waist, with sonic booms appearing one after another around them.
Ghost Rider sneered, his body suddenly vanished, leaving only a ball of flame in its place.
Then, the three Kryptonian spears plunged into the flames and were melted simultaneously.
This was not the end; the flames condensed into sharp spikes, whistling towards the three Kryptonians at supersonic speed.
The three Kryptonians' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly dodged and protected their heads; in the next breath, their bodies were simultaneously pierced by the flame spikes, and they screamed as they fell towards the ground.
The three Kryptonians were not dead, only severely injured; the sun in the sky had been constantly strengthening their power and healing their wounds.
The sun was the Kryptonians' biggest cheat.
Leaving aside the three injured Kryptonians for now, Ghost Rider emerged from the flames in front of General Zod, and his flaming whip once again lashed out at his opponent.
General Zod quickly leaped up, with Ghost Rider's whip in hot pursuit.
Soon, General Zod reached his highest point and began to fall due to gravity; just as he was about to be hit by the whip, at the critical moment, he suddenly learned to fly, and his entire being shot into the sky.
"So you're the main character after all."
Ghost Rider complained; at this moment, several energy beams shot towards him from a distance, which were the remaining Kryptonians who had obtained energy weapons.
Ghost Rider snorted coldly, and the flames on his body transformed into a fiery snake that bit at the energy beams.
Then, Ghost Rider raised his hand, and high-temperature spears simultaneously emerged beneath the three Kryptonians, rapidly stabbing upwards towards them.
These three high-temperature spears were precisely the three high-temperature spears that had previously sunk into the ground and disappeared.
The three Kryptonians were greatly alarmed and tried their best to dodge, but except for one Kryptonian who barely managed to escape, the other two were completely pierced by the high-temperature spears.
This was not over yet; then, the high-temperature spears exploded inside the two Kryptonians' bodies, and the two Kryptonians opened their mouths and spat out a large amount of blood burning with flames, falling to the ground and declaring Death.
Finally, the bodies of the two Kryptonians burned up and quickly turned into ashes.
"How dare you?"
General Zod was enraged, his eyes suddenly turned completely red, and then two Heat Visions slammed violently towards Ghost Rider.
There were only eleven Kryptonians left in total; how could General Zod not be angry when Ghost Rider took out two of them at once?
"Don't worry, you'll all be dead within five minutes."
Ghost Rider smiled slightly, controlling the surrounding flames to transform into two pillars of light that whistled out, pushing General Zod's Heat Vision to retreat rapidly.
General Zod hurriedly dodged, and the two pillars of flame slammed into the building behind, blasting two huge charred holes in it.
The audience watched dumbfounded; where did this flame man come from? He was too cool and too powerful, wasn't he?
After the initial shock, the audience cheered in unison; since this flame man was so powerful, he could definitely defeat the Alien and save the Earth.
In an instant, Ghost Rider gained countless fans, and the whole world was cheering him on.
Andrew nodded with great satisfaction; Ghost Rider's prestige soared, and in addition, the previous wave of intimidation harvested a massive amount of fear energy.
This was another day full of gains.
On the other side, at the World Engine, Superman tried to talk to the two Kryptonians, wanting to resolve the matter peacefully, but unfortunately, the two Kryptonians had no intention of stopping.
"Kal-El, this planet is very suitable for us Kryptonians; as for the Earthlings, what does that have to do with us?"
A Kryptonian said arrogantly, "You are also a Kryptonian; don't you want Kryptonian to be reborn?"
Although Superman was a bit timid, he would not easily waver in his convictions; he shook his head and said, "Of course I hope Kryptonian is reborn, but not like this."
"Nonsense; since you delivered yourself to us, we'll just capture you and find out the whereabouts of the book of rao."
The two Kryptonians bothered no more with idle talk and stepped on their flying devices, charging towards Superman and Iron Man.
"You handle one, I'll handle one; just keep them busy."
Iron Man shouted and flew towards one of the Kryptonians; Kryptonians might be powerful, but they couldn't fly, which made them easier to deal with.
Superman sighed and flew towards the other Kryptonian; although he couldn't fight at all, after Andrew's guidance, he had learned Heat Vision and Arctic Breath, so keeping the opponent busy was not a problem.
Iron Man wasted no time and directly controlled the Iron particles in the air to form a large tentacle, which he slammed fiercely towards the Kryptonian.
"Why do you have something from our Kryptonian?"
The Kryptonian was first stunned, then punched the Iron tentacle with a sonic boom.
Just then, the Iron tentacle dispersed, turning into countless particles that fell beneath the Kryptonian; then, the Iron particles re-condensed into a large blade, which, from bottom to top, sliced through the flying device.
Iron Man was Iron Man; any mechanical item in his hands could be utilized to its maximum potential.
The Kryptonian's expression changed, and before the flying device exploded, he pushed off with his feet and lunged towards Tony.
"Sorry, I don't like getting too close to men."
Tony raised his hands, and a huge repulsive force erupted; the Kryptonian was directly repelled and splashed into the water.
The Kryptonian quickly surfaced, but it was difficult to gain leverage in the water, and he could no longer attack Tony.
Tony took the opportunity to fly quickly towards the World Engine; the closer he got to the World Engine, the greater the gravity, but fortunately, Tony was prepared and used repulsive force to counteract the gravity.
At this moment, a large number of Iron particles emerged from the World Engine, forming a tentacle that attacked Tony.
Tony immediately released his Iron particles to fight against the World Engine's Iron particles; soon, Tony's Iron particles gained the upper hand, pushing the Iron tentacle back repeatedly.
This was normal; on the one hand, the Iron particles had been re-refined by Andrew, making them more powerful than the original version; on the other hand, Tony was the best controller.
While controlling the Iron particles, Tony endured the gravity and arrived beneath the World Engine; then, he attached a gravity bomb to the World Engine and quickly retreated.
The next second, the gravity bomb exploded, forming a gravitational field that collided with the World Engine's gravity device; the World Engine rapidly caved in and collapsed, and at the same time, the gravity waves quickly disappeared.
Tony was almost sucked into the gravitational field; he cursed, "What kind of bastard would set a time bomb to explode after one second?
If I hadn't escaped immediately, I would be dead now."
"You should praise my ingenuity, guessing that you would escape immediately, and also guessing that you would curse me."
Andrew's voice sounded, "And record it down: January 2nd, 2014, morning, Tony Stark called me a bastard."
"The legendary Demon King's notebook, is it actually real?"
Tony complained, "How petty are you exactly?"
"January 2nd, 2014, morning, Tony called me petty; as a generous person, I will never retaliate against him."
Andrew's voice continued, "However, he might not be able to use the restroom for a month due to eating something bad."
Tony rolled his eyes fiercely and gave a middle finger to the void; was this seriously not retaliation?
"Human!"
Seeing the World Engine destroyed, the two Kryptonians flew into a rage and simultaneously charged at Tony, with Superman frantically intercepting them.
Tony shrugged indifferently; his mission was complete; now, it was up to the others.
As soon as the World Engine was destroyed, Metropolis's gravitational field disappeared directly, and General Zodroared in shock and anger, "What have you done?"
"You have three minutes left until your complete annihilation."
Ghost Rider wrapped a Kryptonian with his whip, and with a shake, the Kryptonian was instantly annihilated in the flames.
Ghost Rider did not even care about mature Kryptonians, let alone these semi-finished products.
"Kill him."
General Zod became even more furious, ordering everyone to attack Ghost Rider, and at the same time, the Kryptonian spaceship also joined the attack.
Ghost Rider raised his hands, and the surrounding flames simultaneously shot into the sky, forming a hundred-meter-tall black Fire Giants in the air.
The audience gasped in surprise; this was simply a divine or demonic feat.
"These flames were caused by you; now, I'm returning them to you."
In Ghost Rider's cold voice, the Fire Giants raised his hands and slammed them fiercely towards the Kryptonian spaceship in the middle.
The Scientist in the Kryptonian spaceship's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly maximized the shield, but unfortunately, it was useless; the shield only lasted three seconds before being shattered by the Fire Giants' large hands.
Then, the Fire Giants' hands heavily slammed onto the Kryptonian spaceship; the Phantom Drive on the Kryptonian spaceship directly exploded, forming a black hole, and the Kryptonian spaceship and the Scientist were all sucked into it, disappearing from sight.
"Another one dealt with, General Zod; you don't have many people left."
Ghost Rider sneered and, along with the Fire Giants, launched an attack on the remaining Kryptonians.
General Zod and his subordinates' hearts sank; perhaps they had come to the wrong place?
...
New Paradise Island.
The Super Hero Squad led by Old Batman had already infiltrated the edge of the battlefield; he instructed, "Cyborg, you contact the resistance, everyone else, prepare for battle."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded, and Cyborg immediately contacted the resistance; after a while, several resistance members came and met with Cyborg.
Compared to the others, Flash was clearly more anxious, pacing back and forth while carefully sensing his surroundings.
"Don't worry."
Andrew knew what Flash was anxious about; he said, "That yellow figure will appear."
Flash was somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Wang, why are you so sure?"
"That yellow figure should have memories from the past, just like you."
Andrew said, "The yellow figure doesn't even spare an ordinary person, which means he's not a good person. Why would a bad person save Louise Lane?
The reason is simple: he's deliberately leaking his whereabouts to draw you out. You're looking for him, and he's also looking for you."
Flash's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "That makes sense, so why is he looking for me?"
Andrew said, "That question, you have to ask him yourself. Calm down; I believe you have a way to find him."
