Ch: 341-350

Chapter 341 Brave Tony online tricks his brother

The giant Sun gradually disappeared behind Gotham's skyscrapers.

Darkness quietly spread through the luxurious hotel room, finally swallowing the entire room.

The crystal chandelier in the common living room was not lit.

The only light came from Diana's Truth Lasso.

The Truth Lasso is a divine artifact forged by the God of Fire in the DC Universe, unbreakable.

Anyone bound by it cannot tell any lies, making it a truth serum among divine artifacts.

If he were bound by the Truth Lasso, Leon wasn't sure if he would fall for it.

Although the possibility was not great, after all, his energy level had reached the level comparable to a star, so he shouldn't be subdued by the divine artifacts of Earth's ancient gods.

But considering that things in U.S. comics don't make much sense, Leon still took precautions.

So, it wasn't him who was bound now.

It was Tony.

Poor, brave Tony.

He was originally in the corner of the living room, watching the show with Jarvis.

In the afternoon, Leon had just returned with the two girls, whose atmosphere was subtle.

Tony immediately perked up at Jarvis's reminder and quickly took his place.

In an inconspicuous corner of the living room, he temporarily made a recliner out of nano-materials, poured himself a cup of coffee, and waited with anticipation.

He was so happy.

So happy that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

When Leon was little, he always ruined his good deeds.

Now, he wasn't talking about revenge, but it was perfectly reasonable to add a little oil and vinegar when Leon was questioned by the girls later, right?

However, the story didn't unfold as he imagined.

He had also had experiences of dating two female companions at once.

But either one of them would leave in a huff.

Or both of them would become more obsequious under the onslaught of his money and power.

But Leon like this... with the girls sitting opposite him, quietly listening to him recount his past experiences.

Tony had truly never seen it.

Kara and the girl named Diana sat opposite Leon.

Neither of them seemed particularly angry; they just emphasized that Leon needed to clarify how many other girls were waiting for him and whether he could take responsibility for all of them.

So Leon began to recount what happened in his Universe.

From waking up his bloodline and planning to sunbathe in space for two and a half years.

He spoke of rescuing Widow Operatives from the Red Room and saving the Biochemical world.

Then to dealing with HYDRA, Dormammu, and the Skrull.

After that long string of stories was finished.

The two girls no longer looked angry; their eyes, staring at Leon in a daze, were almost glowing.

This is bad!

Seeing this, Tony slapped himself on the forehead.

That brat actually found a solution!

What young girl could resist the idea that the person she liked was a savior, a great hero?

They were all fooled by Leon!

Tony was heartbroken.

He had to set things right, so he slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Girls, you're ignoring a serious problem!"

Tony's opening words went straight for Leon's weak spot.

"What Leon did in the past doesn't matter. So what if he's a savior? He saved the entire World, but does that mean it's right for him to deceive your feelings?"

"Besides, he saved other Worlds, which has nothing to do with you!"

Tony was full of sincerity, "You should ask him properly, which one of you he's going to choose!"

He put on a righteous, self-sacrificing expression.

Tony was already preparing to laugh in his heart.

He saw that the two girls' eyes had changed, so he sat down contentedly and picked up his coffee cup again.

Taking a sip of coffee, he looked expectantly at the three through the rising steam.

However, before the coffee had even slid from his mouth into his throat, he nearly spat it out.

"But Leon not only saved the World, he also saved me," Diana said, tilting her head.

"Me too." Kara nodded, "Leon rescued me from the lead house."

Tony couldn't sit still again.

Fortunately, Diana had listened to him.

The girl looked at Leon with a slightly demanding gaze again.

"But Mr. Stark is right, Leon, why did you attract so many girls?"

Diana had actually wanted to ask this earlier when she heard Leon mention meeting two or three girls in one World and another two or three in another World.

Kara stood by, nodding slightly as well; she also wanted to ask.

Tony in the corner finally nodded in satisfaction.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Leon would lower his head and sigh silently?

That sigh carried the pain of a heart more dead than alive, as if he were the most wronged person there.

His appearance made Diana and Kara's hearts tighten involuntarily.

Then Leon covered his cheek with one hand and said with profound sorrow, "It's all because my brother is Tony!"

"WTF?" Tony was stunned; he was involved in this?

Leon began to elaborate: "I was actually adopted. After my adoptive parents passed away, Tony raised me."

"He loved me so much that he would take me everywhere. When he went to parties to pick up beautiful women, he'd hang me around his neck, and when things got heated at night, he'd put me aside to watch."

Tony in the corner paused when he heard this.

He remembered putting Leon outside for Jarvis to watch, right? When was he ever beside him?

He didn't notice that Diana and Kara's expressions were already starting to change.

But Leon continued: "You can all appreciate how much childhood experiences can influence a person."

"Diana heard many stories of the gods from her mother, so she wanted to be a hero from a young age, wanting to resolve Ares's conflict and bring peace to humanity."

"Because of her parents' teachings when she was young, Kara remained kind-hearted even after being imprisoned for more than a decade, and she wouldn't even involve innocent Earthlings when seeking revenge."

"And I am the same. I started remembering things very early, but my only parent was Tony."

"When I was one or two years old, I didn't know what could happen between boys and girls at night."

"I just remember Tony appearing at home every night with one strange woman after another."

"The next day, those people would leave with either very sad or very happy expressions."

"From then on, a thought sprouted in my heart—"

"All the girls in the World are so pitiful; I can't just take care of them for one day like Tony!"

"I want to do my best to let everyone welcome life with a smile."

The above was purely Leon's fabrication.

As a Transmigrator, even as an infant, his mind was mature.

However, it was indeed true that he was influenced by Tony.

Anyone who watched their buddy change female companions day after day.

Either they would feel that the World was too dirty, get tired, and want to destroy it.

Or they would gradually become corrupted themselves.

Although the story was fictional, its content made all three present believe it.

Tony was even stunned, feeling a slight regret in his heart, a sense of self-reproach for not having set a good example.

Jarvis couldn't help but speak up: "Sir, from the perspective of family education, you have been truly negligent."

Tony laughed awkwardly, pretending to drink coffee and covering his face with the cup.

Chapter 342 Tony: Jarvis, cremate me

Tony's guilty look undoubtedly added weight to the truthfulness of Leon's words.

Diana looked somewhat incredulous: "Your brother, this Mr. Stark, is actually such a terrible person?"

Kara didn't speak, but her gaze towards Tony had already turned scornful.

Tony couldn't play the ostrich anymore.

He kept saying no, no, this was a misunderstanding.

Then he quickly got up, wanting only to escape this major embarrassing scene.

But suddenly, his thoughts shifted, and he realized something was wrong—

He wasn't looking for ladies anymore!

He only had Pepper as his girlfriend, wasn't being this devoted enough to be a role model?

Moreover, this kid Leon was actually quite strictly managed by him.

Even those two or three girlfriends in high school, weren't they all dismissed with a little money, unable to withstand any test?

Didn't this prove that he was an excellent guardian?

As Tony thought this, half of his guilt disappeared.

To save a little face and, incidentally, annoy Leon.

He looked at Leon and began to speak with righteous indignation: "Leon! I only have Pepper as a girlfriend, slandering me won't make your philandering reasonable!"

"Slander?" Diana and Kara were intimidated by Tony's demeanor.

With their limited experience, they didn't understand what bluffing was.

They couldn't help but look at Leon again, casting him questioning glances, just like two gossiping relationship mediators on a TV emotional program.

However, Diana, this mediator, was a bit different.

She had a way to discern lies; her right hand subconsciously touched the Truth Lasso tied to her waist.

She might suggest using the Truth Lasso to test the truth at any moment.

Leon noticed this.

So he took the initiative.

"Tony, how could you say that?" Leon seemed to carry a hint of indignation.

Having dealt with 'actors' like Ancient One and Odin so much, he had learned some tricks.

"Don't you really feel that you've done anything wrong? Do you know what a huge childhood trauma it was for me to watch you two in a passionate embrace every day?"

This was true; even if he couldn't see it, it indeed left a shadow.

"Diana, take off your Truth Lasso!" Leon suddenly said.

"Truth Lasso?" Diana was stunned for a moment.

Then she saw Leon pounce, subduing the wailing Tony on the ground.

"Come quickly and tie him up! I want to see if this brother has even a tiny bit of guilt!"

"Oh... Oh!" Diana nodded blankly, a little out of sync with Leon's rhythm.

She took off the lasso and quickly stepped forward.

Amidst Tony's pleas of "What are you doing? We need to solve problems with words, not violence."

She tied the strange-bearded uncle securely.

"What are you doing?! Are you interrogating a suspect?" Tony was somewhat exasperated.

"We are interrogating a suspect! Now, tell me in detail how many cover girls you dated when I was little! And then give a self-reflection of no less than a thousand words!" Leon pointed at Tony.

Tony sneered, deciding to bring up Leon's affairs with Jill, Ada, and Wanda.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he began to recount the beautiful women he had dated over the past decade.

From the initial excitement to the later enjoyment, and then becoming accustomed to it.

Although the story wasn't full of twists and turns, it did have its ups and downs.

Tony still remembered most of the women to this day.

Some names might have blurred.

But he could describe in detail which one had a slender waist and long legs, and which one had hips that swayed like waves.

The Truth Lasso's terrifying aspect lay in this.

Tony's face first showed great alarm, then it was as if he had lost a parent.

Resistance was written from the bottom of his heart onto his ashen face.

But the words that came out of his mouth became more and more explosive, completely unstoppable.

Making Diana and Kara disbelieving yet full of disdain.

After mentioning many memorable women, Tony began to express his guilt towards Leon.

He was indeed guilty.

In the years following the death of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, he became decadent and neglected Leon's care.

That's why there were so many absurd things.

As he spoke here, the expression on Tony's face gradually aligned with the content, filled with self-reproach and regret.

Seeing this, Diana and Kara's impression of him improved slightly—

Although he was too promiscuous, he was at least a responsible brother.

After Tony finished everything, Diana retrieved the Truth Lasso.

The two girls completely believed everything Leon said.

"None of this is your fault, Leon; your upbringing environment was just too bad."

Diana held Leon's hand, "You grew up in such an environment, yet you still became an upright person; you are the true hero!"

Leon nodded silently.

In his heart, he secretly thought that one day he would be told that he was the true hero.

Why did it feel like a sense of déjà vu with Homelander?

Never mind, Homelander it is, after all, he was trying to fool a little girl.

"I understand." Leon held Diana's hand back.

"Seeing through the truth of life yet still loving life, that is the true meaning of bravery, Diana, I believe you will be the same when you come to the human World and witness human nature."

Diana nodded, Leon's image in her heart becoming more concrete.

Kara watched them silently from the side, her gaze lingering on their clasped hands, secretly pursing her lips.

At this moment, Leon suddenly reached out and took her hand as well.

"Alright, my story is finished, are you satisfied? It's getting late, everyone should go back to sleep."

He pushed Kara, whose face showed surprise and joy, back into her room.

Leon then led Diana into his own room, enveloping every corner with his Bio-field.

Only Tony remained in the spacious, dark living room.

He lay blankly on the sofa.

A beam of moonlight came in through the French window and fell on his face, its pale color making it seem as if his entire face was wet with tears.

"Jarvis, what did I say...?" Tony's eyes were fixed.

"Sir, you described in detail the memorable ladies you dated over the past decade, and then made a profound confession."

Jarvis said, "If you wish to confess again now, I can be your temporary priest and tell you that God will forgive you."

"No, help me book a grave near Gotham. I think I can be cremated now." Tony's eyes became even emptier.

"Certainly, Sir. Do you prefer a luxurious private grave, or a standard city cemetery?" Jarvis was extremely considerate.

"Jarvis, I'm so foolish, truly. I shouldn't have thought about seeing that kid Leon's embarrassing moments. Every time, he drags me down. I'm truly foolish."

Tony ignored Jarvis, muttering blankly.

...

A new day, incredibly harmonious.

Leon accompanied Kara and Diana on a stroll through Gotham, treating it as an experience of human society.

Both girls were very curious about the unfamiliar World.

However, Diana was more naive and romantic.

Seeing a baby in a stroller by the roadside.

She would exclaim, "It's a baby!" and run over to observe it carefully with exaggerated surprise.

When trying on clothes in a clothing store, even a dress, she would casually lift her leg high to feel if it would affect combat.

It was only after Leon's detailed explanations that Diana gradually became familiar with the rules and etiquette of the human World.

Kara, on the other hand, was more composed.

Even if she was very curious about certain things, she would only watch from a distance with a calm expression.

When she put on a beautiful dress, she would turn to ask Leon how it looked.

If Leon said it was pretty, she would silently hand it to the sales assistant for packaging after changing out of it.

The funds for this shopping trip came from the rich patron, Tony.

He and Jarvis, with a little thought, obtained a large amount of legal income from the internet.

So today, in his

"repentant" state, he handed his credit card to Leon, telling Leon to take the two girls away, out of sight, out of mind.

A new day, the entire World seemed peaceful and happy.

The Kryptonian problem had been resolved.

The Third World War had also ended.

Batman, having re-emerged, had returned to Wayne Manor to continue his retirement.

Flash, Barry Allen, had finally proven to his parents that he was Barry and returned to his family.

In Leon's super hearing, it seemed that no large-scale disasters would occur in this World anymore.

He just needed to take the mother box with him when he left, and everything would be resolved.

The next time he came.

It would have to be sometime in the future when Diana missed home.

Thinking this.

Leon looked at Diana, who was buying a cake, and suddenly froze.

His sudden realization made him turn around abruptly, and the entire World quickly became clear under his gaze.

Chains of laws appeared before him.

In the Marvel Universe, Leon had comprehended one-third of the Law of Time and Space, already touching the essence of the World.

This vision would not change even in the DC Universe.

"The time of this World is being destroyed, both future and past are being destroyed!?"

Leon seemed to see the scene where the chains of time rules were breaking one after another.

But after breaking, those chains began to re-connect.

"No, it's not destruction, it's a reset!" Leon suddenly understood.

As for why it was resetting.

In the DC Universe, there was only one answer.

"Barry is resetting the World again..." Leon's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chapter 343 Prelude to Restart

Barry, what are you doing, Barry!

The moment he discovered the World was restarting, Leon's brain crashed.

It was like going out to eat hotpot and sing songs, only to be robbed by bandits halfway through; there was nothing more nonsensical in the World.

But when he looked towards Central City.

His gaze pierced through thousands of kilometers.

And he saw Barry, who was at home helping his mother cook.

Barry smiled so happily, his eyes unable to hide his affection for his mother.

How could such a Barry restart the World? Besides, he was still there. Who was restarting the World?

Leon could sense that the time of the entire World was shattering, then continuously reshaping.

If time were compared to a river, then the upstream was drying up, and the downstream was flooding.

The middle part, where he was, could only wait for the Water level to drop to its lowest point, exposing the riverbed.

As for the fish in the river, of course, they would all die, and new fish would be reborn when new Water flowed in.

From this perspective.

The greatest possibility was that the future Earth had encountered another crisis.

A World that had lost most of its Superheroes could not cope with the disaster.

So, the future Barry could only change the past and restart the timeline.

Restarting time in the DC Universe is not like Marvel.

Marvel creates a new timeline.

But here in the DCEU, after a restart, the previous time and all the people in that time will disappear.

—Or rather, be refreshed.

Like slimes that periodically refresh at a certain spawn point in an online game.

When the old one dies, a similar new one will refresh.

The code is no different, but it's a completely new slime.

Leon had no way to stop this restart.

Because it had already happened.

Just like reinstalling an operating system on a computer, trying to stop it halfway through would only cause the system to crash completely.

At this point, unless he went next door and pulled Wolf Superman over to let him enter Golden Superman mode again, there was little chance of reversing the time restart.

But Wolf Superman's idealistic mode wasn't like a pistol's safety, which could be turned off at will.

So Leon didn't hesitate at all and chose to take people and run.

He called out to Diana and Kara, who were sharing cake, and instantly took them back to the hotel room.

Tony was still lying on the sofa, tossing and turning, depressed about what happened last night.

He would probably sulk for a long time.

So long that many years later, when he thought back, he would still stomp his feet in annoyance and curse a few 'fucks'.

"Are you imitating Rose from 'Titanic', propping your head on the sofa and squirming around?"

Leon stepped forward and slapped Tony.

"Time is urgent, stop secretly wiping your tears, Miss Stark, we need to go!"

Tony sprang up from the sofa: "Go? Where? What happened? No, damn it, what did you just call me?"

"Sorry, I just saw a thirty-year-old man squirming around, and it startled me. I thought a female Tonyfrom a parallel World had taken over your body."

"Heh, if I were a female Tony, I'd give you a resounding slap right now."

Tony grabbed an Ark Reactor and threw it at Leon.

Leon held the Reactor in his hand: "We have to go, everyone. Flash has restarted the World. If we don't leave quickly, we might be restarted along with it."

"Barry? Why would he restart the World?" Tony frowned. "How much time do we have left?"

Diana also furrowed her beautiful brows: "What is restarting the World?"

"It's Flash traveling through time to change the past, reshaping a completely different World!"

"Because time is not linear, any simple change will have a butterfly effect on both the past and the future, causing an impact."

Leon said: "It has actually been restarted once before. In that World, it was Kara's cousin who came to Earth, not her."

"And after the restart, Kara's cousin died."

"This is the impact caused by the World's restart."

Leon explained succinctly with an example.

Kara's gaze froze: "Can we stop him from restarting the World?"

"It's too late," Leon said.

"Then how much time do we have, and how many people can you take with you?" Tony was a little worried if Leon could take everyone here.

Much of life's meaning lies in the existence of memories.

Although a World restart cannot be considered a disaster.

It not only reshapes a person's destiny but also erases all traces and memories of that person in the World at that moment.

If Leon could only take him and Jarvis.

And leave these two girls here to be restarted.

Then after the restart, even if they met again, what would be the point?

Their shared experiences and memories would be gone.

Although Tony was still sulking, he instinctively considered Leon.

However, he clearly underestimated Leon.

"I can take many. Even a small mountain of people like you would be fine to take away." Leon's words made Tony realize he was worrying unnecessarily.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! What are you dawdling for, Miss Leon?" Tony rolled his eyes.

Leon shook his head: "There are still some things to do. The Universe is so vast; restarting also takes time."

"How long? What else do you want to do?"

"Probably another ten-odd minutes. The chain reaction of time reshaping starts from the future and the past. It will be a while before it affects us here."

Leon looked at Diana.

At this moment, Diana was the most anxious.

Her mother and tribe were still in the Black Sea on the other side of Earth.

After the World restarted, would those familiar faces still be the people she knew?

"Don't worry, Diana, you know I can travel between Worlds, so I can avoid the effects of the World's restart. I will take you all with me."

Diana's bewildered eyes lit up.

"Leon, are you saying..."

"That's right, we'll take Paradise Island with us." Leon wiped Diana's cheek with his palm.

"I'll first take you into my inner World, and then release you when it's safe."

"What is an inner World...?" After Diana's chaotic thoughts settled again, she turned into a curious baby.

"I'll explain later."

Leon controlled the power of the World and took Tony and Kara into his inner World.

Then he took Diana's hand and disappeared from the hotel.

Thousands of kilometers vanished in the blink of an eye.

Leon brought Diana to Paradise Island.

After directly explaining the situation.

Queen Hippolyta confirmed multiple times that even if they disappeared, it would not affect the appearance of another Paradise Island after the World restarted.

Only then did she agree to Leon's proposal to take them away.

Although Hippolyta had no fondness for humans.

She, like the other Amazonian warriors, always remembered her race's mission to protect the World.

If their departure would cause the World to lose the Amazon's protection.

She would certainly refuse Leon and stay to await the restart.

The Amazon warriors no longer insisted on staying.

Only then did Leon take them, along with Paradise Island, into his inner World.

The divine power left by Zeus could not pose much of an obstacle to him.

With just a gentle effort, he detached the entire island from the continental shelf.

Leon, filled with emotion at the Amazon's strong determination to protect Earth, set off again.

This time, his destinations were Gotham and Central City, to find Batman and Flash.

Chapter 344 Taking Barry's Mom Away

As expected, Batman rejected Leon's invitation to hide from the reboot.

He didn't feel it was necessary to escape the reboot and meet another Bruce Wayne in the post-reboot World.

They were all Batman, and their experiences were the same.

Changing Worlds wouldn't give him living parents.

Although Leon said that in some timelines, Bruce died, and the Wayne couple survived.

But Bruce, after a slight hesitation, still chose to refuse.

"Alright then, it's not bad for you to stay and be someone who knows the truth and guards the World's past."

Leon pointed to Batman's wine cabinet: "By the way, such a fearless moment is more suitable for high-proof spirits."

"For example, rectified vodka, known as the Water of Life; its 96-proof alcohol content can make your boldness burn from your toes to your head."

Batman silently glanced at his wine cabinet: "A good suggestion, I'll put on Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony to go with it."

Leon raised an eyebrow: "That's truly mournful. Goodbye, Bruce."

"Goodbye, Leon."

...

Leaving Wayne Manor.

Leon found Barry Allen in a residential house in Central City.

"Barry, you rebooted the World again, do you know that?"

"What? Me? Why would I reboot the World?" Barry looked bewildered, eating spaghetti he had made with his mother.

"You'll have to ask yourself that. The you who rebooted the World came from the future."

As Leon spoke, he subtly took a drop of Barry's blood and sent it into his inner World for the Black Light Clone to devour.

Barry didn't notice anything, only pushed the table away in a panic and stood up.

"You mean, I, the future me, ran to the present or past and changed the World? Why!?"

He was living happily now; his mother wasn't dead, his father wasn't in prison. Was there any reason to reboot the World?

"Oh right! Steppenwolf, it must be Steppenwolf again!"

Barry paced anxiously, "Yeah, without Superman, who else can stop him? It's over, it's all over."

Leon looked at the already despairing Barry, feeling a bit helpless.

"How about you enter the Speed Force and ask your future self the reason for rebooting the World?"

In "Flash," different time-point versions of the same Barry can meet in the Speed Force.

The Speed Force in this World has an ability called the time bowl.

The time bowl allows speedsters to travel through time and stay outside of time.

Barry jolted upright after being reminded, raising his arm and pointing his index finger, as if a light bulb representing an idea had appeared above his head.

"You're right! I have to go ask him, ask him why he rebooted the timeline!"

Barry took a short track speed skating stance and entered the Speed Force.

Running in the Speed Force in a short track speed skating stance can significantly reduce his stamina consumption.

"I'm going!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished before Leon.

Leon could detect Barry circling the street outside the house a few times, and then he traveled through time and disappeared.

"The Speed Force really is a convenient thing..."

"Leon! Leon!"

Before Leon could finish his exclamation, Barry's voice reappeared.

He ran in from outside, panting heavily, and stopped in front of Leon.

"It's Darkseid! My future self said you took the mother box, but Steppenwolf and Darkseid still came to Earth!"

Barry's eyes were filled with fear: "Earth's core was drained by Darkseid! The entire World was destroyed, and the Red Alliance, even with the combined might of the globe, couldn't defeat that Universe tyrant!"

"I, no, he had to reboot the Universe, to change everything I changed back..."

Barry showed a bitter expression: "I can't save Mom; the price of saving Mom is the World's destruction."

Barry had only worked at the research institute for a few years.

He was still very young.

He just wanted to reverse the tragedy of his mother's brutal death.

But this World was just that cruel.

The Speed Force gave him hope, but this hope was closely followed by the despair of being unable to resist.

"I'm sorry, it's all me, it's all my fault..." Barry lowered his head, gritting his teeth.

Guilt, remorse, and the pain of being able to do nothing but let his mother die tormented him.

Leon watched him silently, gently patting Barry's shoulder.

"Perhaps I can help you with a small favor."

Leon said, "I can take your mother away, out of this World, and bring her back after the reboot ends."

"Re-really?" Barry looked up in disbelief.

"Of course, but you have to tell your future self not to try to get your father acquitted by adjusting the position of the tomato can so the camera sees his face, because that would also reboot another future."

In "Flash," while Barry's action successfully acquitted his father.

It also rebooted the World again—

Rebooting the DCEU Universe, led by director Zack Snyder, into the DCU Universe, led by James Gunn.

Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, all were rebooted.

Barry nodded repeatedly: "I will, I will, then, Leon, you, you..."

"I'll take your mother now."

Leon nodded, and led by Barry, he went to the bedroom and took Allen, who was napping, into his inner World.

Barry watched his mother disappear and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go tell your words to my future self right now!" Barry said gratefully to Leon.

He immediately took action, running into the Speed Force again.

Logically speaking, Leon taking Allen now would actually affect the future Barry.

But at this time, the World had already entered reboot mode.

This point in time had already begun to disconnect from the future.

The so-called change, naturally, no longer existed.

This time, Barry didn't return even after ten-plus seconds.

Time waits for no one, so Leon didn't continue waiting. Instead, he went out, shot into the sky, and flew towards a city called Philadelphia.

This city looked like nothing more than an ordinary modern metropolis.

But in the DCEU, it was actually an entrance and exit to a wizard gathering place called the Eternal Rock.

(In the comics, it's Fawcett City; in the movie "Shazam," it was changed to Philadelphia.)

The Master of the Eternal Rock was the wizard Shazam.

This famous DC wizard and his siblings often gathered here.

However, his siblings had all died by now.

Even he was old and increasingly found it difficult to suppress the Seven Deadly Sins sealed within the Eternal Rock.

The Seven Deadly Sins were seven evil forces representing the seven cardinal sins.

In "DC Future State," they even defeated the Future State Superman in his Golden Superman form.

Although the Seven Deadly Sins in the DCEU Universe weren't as strong as in "Future State."

The aging Shazam also urgently needed to find a new successor to pass on his power.

His requirement was simple: to find a child with a pure White heart and a strong sense of justice.

Despite such a simple requirement, Shazam had searched for decades, even a century, but couldn't find a suitable candidate.

But he wasn't in a hurry; even if he had to wait another hundred years, he could afford to.

Until this day.

A young man in a pitch-Black battle suit inexplicably broke into the Eternal Rock.

"Old wizard, the end of the World is coming soon. Do you want a successor or not?" the young man asked.

Chapter 345: Old wizard, do you want to pass on your skills to others?

Chapter 345: Old Wizard, Do You Want an Heir?

"How… how did you get in?"

Old Wizard Shazam, who had been listlessly leaning on his stone chair, suddenly opened his eyes wide, like a corpse in a coffin brought back to life by an undertaker.

He subconsciously looked around.

The familiar stone chair and giant rock told him he hadn't sleepwalked into the outside World.

But where did this person come from?

For the past few hundred years, no one had been able to enter here except for the children he personally guided to Eternal Rock.

In modern terms, this was his secret Base.

But the person in front of him had no key, no intel, and just brazenly barged in.

"I am Lyon Stark, and also a magic user."

When traveling, one's identity is self-proclaimed.

When meeting Clark, Lyon could be an Earthling with Kryptonian Bloodline.

When meeting Old Wizard Shazam, he was, of course, a genuine magic user.

Lyon drew a circle in the air with his right hand, conjuring the classic Kamar-Taj magic portal.

"See, that's how I got in."

Lyon explained, "There's a magic node in Philadelphia that can open the entrance to Eternal Rock. I tried a mystic art, and I got in."

Lyon said it as if he had discovered a door, coincidentally had a master key, and so it was only natural for him to open the door and visit.

But to barge in without even knocking, what kind of overly familiar magic user was this!

Shazam roared internally.

No, how could Eternal Rock be entered directly with just a teleportation magic!

Because Lyon acted so naturally, just like visiting a neighbor.

So much so that Shazam's thoughts were initially led astray.

It took a moment for his mind to turn a corner and realize.

This person's magic level was exceptionally good.

A magic user of this caliber, specifically breaking into Eternal Rock, must have an ulterior motive.

"What do you seek by coming here, stranger magic user?"

Old Wizard Shazam gripped the Staff of the Gods and rose from his stone throne.

He looked down at Lyon from the steps, full of imposing presence.

"For thousands of years, countless evil-doers have tried to release the demons suppressed here, but their end was always to return to dust."

"Before you walk towards an irreversible end, you had best think clearly about what you are truly doing!"

As Shazam finished speaking, he saw the stranger magic user tilt his head back slightly, clearly intimidated by his words.

Very good, it seemed this somewhat capable magic user was not a fool and could still be saved.

"No offense, Wizard Shazam, were you perhaps spacing out just now, so you didn't hear what I said at the very beginning?"

Lyon's guess about Shazam's current state was somewhere between senile dementia and hard of hearing.

"What?" Shazam was stunned.

At first, this young magic user seemed to have said something.

But he couldn't remember it anymore.

"You said… why don't you say it again?"

Shazam felt like he had misunderstood something, and slowly walked down the steps, leaning on his divine staff.

Seeing this, Lyon felt that this great Wizard might truly be a bit senile.

Out of habit to respect the elderly and cherish the young, he patiently repeated himself.

"The World outside is restarting, I've come to bring you an heir!"

Shazam suddenly understood: "So you want to inherit my power!"

"Young man, next time you see an elder, you must speak clearly!"

Shazam had lived for thousands of years; a mere misunderstanding was not worth mentioning, and he felt no embarrassment, instead, he turned the tables.

He walked around Lyon, his divine staff tapping the ground with a thud, his eyes examining Lyon, growing brighter and brighter.

He hadn't seen a magic user with such good aptitude in a long time.

(Actually, he hadn't even seen a stranger in a long time.)

"Not bad, very good."

Shazam stopped in front of Lyon, his serious expression relaxing considerably.

"You want to inherit my power?" He asked again, but his tone was incredibly certain.

Lyon felt like he was a piece of pork on a chopping board, being flipped over and over to find a quarantine-approved stamp.

He couldn't help but speak: "Actually, it's not me…"

"I know, I know it all!"

Shazam, however, interrupted Lyon.

His face bore the wise expression of 'I have long seen through everything'.

As if his grizzled hair and beard were etched with the wisdom that long time had brought him.

"I have been secluded for thousands of years; everything about me in the outside World has long since faded with time."

"That you could find your way here from snippets in ancient books is quite remarkable, very difficult."

Shazam turned back, stepped onto the stairs, his scepter tapping lightly then heavily.

"You may also know that your potential is good, but to inherit my power, potential is not important."

Although Shazam said this.

But when he turned back on the highest step and looked at Lyon again, his face was actually already smiling.

"Only those with a pure heart, firm will, and a sense of justice can become my suc—"

As he spoke, Shazam's majestic voice quickly weakened, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"How is your mind so… so… impure!?"

He was silent for a few seconds.

Suddenly, he excitedly pointed his divine staff at Lyon.

His face showed a furious resentment, angry at his failure to live up to expectations.

"At your age, with such magical attainment, how can your mind be so utterly impure, instead, it's as turbid as, as Caesar when he met the Queen of Egypt!"

"This…" Lyon was a bit embarrassed, "This was an accident."

Last night, Diana was a bit too passionate, leaving him still savoring the memory.

He hadn't expected that even such a small impure thought could be detected by Shazam.

Normally, with his current willpower and state of mind, he should definitely be chosen by Shazam.

Although he wasn't here to inherit Shazam's power himself.

But suddenly being pointed out as having an impure mind was still a bit awkward.

"Alas…" Shazam sighed deeply.

"There are no accidents in the World of magic, young man, I regret to say, your mind is impure, you cannot be my successor."

He explained in a tone that blamed Lyon for wasting his potential.

"Five thousand years ago, I had another successor, and he, because of his impure mind, lost his sanity after gaining power without effort, causing a great disaster."

Shazam waved his hand dejectedly: "Go, you go, I will no longer entrust my power to someone with an impure mind."

As he spoke, he turned back and walked towards the stone throne, his back a bit more hunched.

Clearly, he himself was very regretful about not being able to choose Lyon as his successor.

"Indeed, people with firm will and pure minds can only be found among children." Shazam sighed continuously.

Lyon's expression was strange.

Why did this sound like a scene from "Digimon Adventure," where only children possess infinite possibilities, and thus only children can be chosen to go to the Digital World?

"Wizard, in fact, I came to bring you an heir, not to become an heir myself."

"Hmm?" Shazam frowned and turned his head, "You don't want to be my heir, why?"

Chapter 346: It's OK if it's yellow, as long as it's not black

Just now, he said Lyon's intentions were impure and he couldn't be an heir.

But now that Lyon himself said he didn't want to be, Shazam was unhappy again.

Lyon spread his hands: "Because there's a better choice."

"Old Wizard, as long as someone is pure-hearted, has a sense of justice, has faith, and is strong enough, they can, right?"

Shazam's brows furrowed in confusion: "That's right... Do you really have a candidate? An unsuitable person can't fool my eyes."

Lyon smiled slightly.

"Do you think these two are suitable?"

With a thought, he brought Diana and Kara out from his inner World.

Shazam was startled, sensing a spatial fluctuation, and guessed that Lyon had used some teleportation magic.

He couldn't help but look at Lyon deeply again with regret.

Such a level of magic, not becoming the next Shazam, was truly a bit regrettable.

Then Shazam turned his head to look at the two women who had suddenly appeared.

With just one glance, his brows furrowed.

"Demigods? And one more..."

A faint light rose in the depths of Shazam's eyes, and he instantly understood Kara's identity.

"And another alien."

Lyon's Crossing ability (transcendent ability) directly communicated with the World Consciousnesswhen traversing.

So, he also had an identity in this DC Universe: a hybrid of human and Kryptonian.

Therefore, in Shazam's judgment, he could also be considered an Earthling.

However, this time Shazam directly shook his head: "No, my power will only be passed down to Earthlings."

Shazam's power actually came from the ancient gods.

He received this power from the gods to protect Earthlings.

So how could he possibly give his power to demigods and aliens?

At this moment, Lyon sighed and said: "Wizard, if you don't pass on your power soon, you might not have a chance."

"No chance? Do you want to force it?" Shazam's eyebrows shot up as he looked at Lyon.

"Of course not." Lyon was a bit speechless, "This World is going to be reset, Wizard, I've said it twice."

"Reset?" The strongest gods Shazam had ever seen couldn't reset the World.

"It's like this..." Lyon briefly explained.

Shazam's face sank after listening.

"Darkseid... It's actually Darkseid... Mage, will my successor appear on the future battlefield? Or will I still not have found a successor by then?"

Who would understand?

It was a beautiful day, and Shazam, like every day for thousands of years, was dozing on his stone throne.

Suddenly, a mage burst in and said the World was going to be reset.

But none of this concerned Shazam.

Because he had slept confusedly in this Eternal Rock until Earth's end, and then until the World's reset.

This feeling of being like an ant working hard for a better tomorrow, only to be stepped on and killed by a passing elephant.

It made Shazam, whose heart had been dormant for thousands of years, tremble with anger.

Lyon thought about the time the new generation of Shazam appeared in the movie.

That was long after Steppenwolf was defeated.

And in the future of this current World, without the Justice League's Big Three, Earth would likely be flattened.

So he shook his head: "No, you probably won't have found a successor even after all the Earthlings are dead."

"I..." Shazam's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife.

He turned around with a grim face and sat sullenly on the stone chair.

But after sitting for only a few seconds, he stood up again and paced on the platform above the steps.

His breathing gradually grew heavy due to his wildly fluctuating emotions.

Lyon watched him silently.

Diana and Kara still hadn't figured out the current situation.

After they looked around for a while.

Diana quietly asked Lyon: "Who is that Old Wizard?"

"Wizard Shazam, he has your father's divine power, but... he shouldn't be considered an Old Wizard to you, right?"

Lyon unconsciously retorted, then received a charming eye-roll from Diana.

"Are you planning to have me or Diana inherit his power? Why?" Kara couldn't help but ask.

"Shazam's power comes from the gods. If passed to you, it can help you gain magic power, which compensates for a Kryptonian's weakness."

"If passed to Diana, without any accidents, Diana will complete her power and transform into a true god!"

In issue 798 of the comic "Wonder Woman."

That version of Diana transformed into a true god because she gained Shazam's divine power.

After becoming a god, Diana's potential was fully unleashed, and even Hera could only flee miserably before her.

Hearing Lyon's prediction.

Both women's hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.

But they immediately shook their heads.

"I don't need divine power. I can become very strong just by basking in the Sun. I don't need magic."

Kara pointed at Diana: "Diana needs this power, after all, it contains her father's divine power."

But Diana also rejected it: "I've never thought about becoming a true god. Amazon blood flows in my veins. I am an Amazon, and I only need to protect Earthlings and the World."

"Since it can make up for Kara's weakness, then of course Kara needs it more."

Lyon shrugged: "You're both right, but whether you can gain the power still depends on Wizard Shazam."

Above the steps.

Wizard Shazam was watching them.

Diana and Kara's humble refusals caught his attention.

He could see through whether their words were sincere or false at a glance.

The two women's words were naturally without any falsehood, all coming from their hearts.

Now Shazam was silent.

When he looked at Lyon again, his gaze was even more one of disappointment.

"Their hearts are a hundred times purer than yours! Kid!"

This made Lyon raise an eyebrow: "Wizard, I can't agree with that. My heart in pursuing power is equally pure. If you think it's impure, then your standards are problematic."

"My standards are problematic?" Shazam was slightly surprised.

He pondered for a while.

He couldn't help but size up Lyon again: "A firm heart, a strong will, unparalleled physique... Alright, perhaps your achievements will not be beneath mine in the future."

Lyon neither refuted nor agreed.

All the power within him was restrained.

Otherwise, Shazam wouldn't have been able to offer such an overlooking compliment.

"Old Wizard, it's time to make your decision."

"There are only a few minutes left until the World reset ends."

"If you hesitate any longer, you'll only take your power to the next cycle." Lyon urged.

Now Shazam was already wavering.

He frowned in distress: "You can escape the reset?"

"I have a way." Lyon nodded.

Shazam nodded silently, then walked back and forth a few more times.

Finally, he sighed and walked down the steps one by one, his expression gradually becoming solemn again.

"Tell me your name, Mage." He said.

Lyon slapped his forehead: "Lyon Stark! And these two are Diana and Kara!"

He had already introduced himself before.

Who introduces themselves twice less than five minutes after meeting?

If this Shazam were outside, he would definitely be sent to a mental hospital to shoot rubber bands at windows.

"Good! Lyon, from today onwards, you are the next Shazam!"

Shazam then offered the Staff of the Gods: "Now grasp the staff, and then shout—Shazam!"

"..." Lyon was defeated, "Didn't you say my heart wasn't pure?"

"Although not pure, it's acceptable. You're not dark, just a bit... lustful..."

Lyon immediately interrupted: "Alright, alright, no need to analyze. I said, I have no intention of becoming Shazam."

Shazam didn't back down: "I will not pass my power to races other than Earthlings."

Before Lyon could speak again.

He added: "This is my principle. Your principle has nothing to do with me."

Lyon blinked, understanding.

He and Shazam grasped the Staff of the Gods together, and spoke the name.

"Shazam!"

Chapter 347 Shazam!

"Shazam!!"

Boom!

Leon's shout and the roar of thunder appeared almost simultaneously.

A bolt of lightning materialized out of thin air, shattering space and striking Leon's body.

Old Wizard Shazam cleared his mind, choosing the person before him as his successor.

The divine power from six gods was passed down to Leon.

When the lightning, which seemed capable of piercing through anything, extinguished.

Leon's black battle suit transformed into a vibrant red.

A long white cape with a wizard's hood draped over his shoulders.

"Isn't the color of this battle suit a bit too weird? Tony wouldn't even spray his armor completely red."

Leon raised his arm to examine his new battle suit, unable to resist complaining.

"I must look like one of those five-colored warriors from a tokusatsu show right now, shouting about fighting for love and justice."

As Leon continued to complain, he realized something was off.

Had his complaining ability suddenly surged? Could this be Solomons Wisdom?

Shazam didn't pay attention to Leon's complaints.

The Old Wizard was still completing his ritual.

He stared wide-eyed at Leon, raising the Staff of the Gods high, his voice booming.

"From now on, you shall inherit my name, possess all my power, you are Shazam!"

"Now, the divine power from Zeus!

Solomons Wisdom!

The strength of Hercules!

The stamina of Atlas!

The courage of Achilles!

The speed of Mercury!

All gather upon you!"

Old Wizard Shazam raised his hands like an ancient priest.

Only after the ritual concluded did he hand the divine staff to Leon: "From now on, you are Shazam. Remember, you must use your inner self to guide your infinite power!"

Leon nodded, taking the divine staff, but his thoughts were quite different.

Infinite power?

Shazam in the Main Universe of the comics could indeed say that.

But Shazam in the DCEU, a movie Universe, was far from "infinite."

Shazam, Black Adam, and Martian Manhunter, among other DC characters, are rated as comparable to or slightly weaker than Superman in terms of strength.

As for Superman in the comic's Main Universe, his strength is as strong as he believes he can be.

Therefore, characters like Shazam also occasionally perform incredibly absurd feats.

In the comics.

Shazam and Black Adam once simultaneously shouted "Shazam" and used the lightning from their transformations to knock out Supreme Little Superman.

Supreme Little Superman is a powerful being capable of shattering the Multiverse with a single punch.

This alone shows the high upper limit of Shazam.

But Superman in the DCEU—Superman.

His strongest display of power.

Was merely preventing an earthquake by pushing continental plates.

Moreover, this feat was only reported in newspapers, without any actual footage.

Although after being resurrected in "Justice League," Superman's strength once again climbed a level.

But at most, it was Planet-level combat power.

So the upper limit of Shazam in the DCEU is likely at this level.

As the current Shazam, Leon.

After sensing the state of the divine power within him, he came to the same conclusion.

—If his inner self was firm enough, and his mental power strong enough.

He could basically use the divine power within him to unleash power barely capable of destroying a Planet.

But his own power was already strong enough to shatter a star.

So Shazam's divine power could only be described as icing on the cake.

However, Shazam's divine power could also be shared, which was quite useful.

Seven stone chairs are arranged in the Eternal Rock.

There were once seven wizards here.

That is, Shazam and his brothers and sisters.

This also means that Shazam's power can be shared into six portions.

One of these powers has already been passed down to Black Adam; those powers came from the divine power of the six gods of Egypt.

Five thousand years ago, Black Adam released the Seven Deadly Sins, slaughtering humanity, and was later re-sealed by Shazam.

It was also for this reason that when Shazam chose a successor again, he would meticulously select based on purity of heart.

Leon was pondering.

Shazam suddenly spoke again: "What are you spacing out for, kid?"

He pointed to the stone chairs on the steps behind him.

"See those chairs? Those are the thrones of me and my brothers and sisters!"

"My power must be passed on, and theirs must also be inherited!"

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you starting the inheritance quickly!?"

Shazam's voice was loud and rough.

Making one suspect that he had been alone for thousands of years and was no longer accustomed to using his vocal cords.

Leon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The only ones here who could inherit Shazam's divine power were Diana and Kara, weren't they?

This Old Wizard, just a second ago, said he was unwilling to give divine power to non-humans.

Now he's flipping out and urging him to share Shazam's divine power?

So your principles are just that, are they?

Leon had reason to suspect that Solomons Wisdom had given the Old Wizard a flexible bottom line, much like Zeus.

"If you don't mind, then of course I can start sharing the power now."

Leon shrugged, planted the divine staff on the ground, and gestured to Diana and Kara.

"Come on, put your hands on the staff, and then shout Sha... this Old Wizard's name."

The name Shazam is the switch for transformation.

Shouting it once transforms into Shazam, shouting it again returns to the original state.

If one were to shout the name at a critical moment and revert to a normal person, they would suffer quite a loss.

Batman had used this method to defeat Shazam many times.

Diana and Kara exchanged glances.

Since the divine power was not unique, they no longer had the idea of deferring.

The two walked up to Leon, one after the other, and reached out to grasp the divine staff.

"Wait!" the Old Wizard suddenly shouted again.

He attracted the attention of the three, then silently turned around: "I know nothing, and I see nothing."

It was clearly an attempt to cover up, yet it was inexplicably open and honest.

The idiom of burying one's head in the sand couldn't even compare to the Old Wizard at this moment, because he didn't even cover his ears.

Leon thought to himself that this might be the thick skin brought by long years.

In terms of thick skin, Shazam is no weaker than Odin or Ancient One!

"Don't mind him, just shout that name out." Leon turned back, speechless.

Diana and Kara nodded, and together they shouted: "Shazam!"

As the words fell.

Two bolts of lightning struck out of thin air.

Silver-white electricity tore through the darkness.

Both women simultaneously inherited a portion of Shazam's divine power.

Kara's Kryptonian battle suit suddenly turned sapphire blue, and a glowing lightning symbol appeared on her chest.

"I seem to… have no change?" Kara squeezed her arm.

Kryptonian's magic resistance is relatively low compared to their physical resistance.

And Kara had never encountered magic before.

So her inheritance of divine power was very simple.

It was just that some energy appeared out of thin air within her body.

But Diana was different.

Her transformation was very dramatic.

After the lightning disappeared, Diana's perfectly proportioned body floated directly into the air.

Her eyes slowly closed.

Tiny electric currents spread and flickered on her skin.

Those electric currents grew more numerous and more brilliant.

Chapter 348 The ocean of the future will have room for my old ship

The moment lightning engulfed Diana, a golden glow suddenly bloomed from her body.

The golden light was like sunlight piercing through the clouds, penetrating all the lightning and illuminating the entire cave.

"Ah… Ah ah ah!!!"

Diana let out a roar, breaking through some kind of obstruction.

The brilliant golden light on her body grew more and more, becoming increasingly concentrated.

Finally, her entire being turned into a sacred, brilliant color, like an Angel descending.

The moment the golden light enveloped her, the roar transformed into a clear, long cry.

It was like a bird, its wings freed from the dust, shaking off chains, breaking free from its cage, and spreading its beautiful feathers in the sky once more.

Diana floated in the air, crying out.

The cry gradually subsided, and the golden light on her body finally receded.

The descending Angel revealed his true form.

Her red and blue divine armor from the Amazon had now transformed into a dark golden battle suit.

From her headpiece to her knee pads, everything was a deep, dark gold, as if mysterious power flowed within it.

Diana swung her arm in the air, and the cape behind her immediately flapped loudly.

She slowly descended to the ground and smiled at Leon, and the cave, which had just darkened, immediately brightened a few shades.

Old Wizard Shazam had turned his head back at some point, and his voice was solemn: "She has become a true god."

Leon stared blankly at Diana.

This familiar style of battle suit seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

"Diana, have you become a Saint Seiya?" He still couldn't resist complaining.

"Saint Seiya?" Diana was taken aback, "It sounds like a very high compliment for a warrior. Are you praising me?"

Leon stroked his chin: "Of course it's a compliment. Not only do you look like a Saint Seiya, but your strength has also increased a lot, right?"

Diana nodded: "A divine power from Zeus merged with me, allowing me to transform from a demigod into a complete god."

Speaking of becoming a god, Diana wasn't very excited.

Whether she was a demigod or a true god, she was still Diana, and her desire to protect humanity and the World would not change.

Instead, Shazam frowned, looking at Diana.

"So you are Zeus's daughter!" He gritted his teeth.

The divine powers of these gods were all snatched by Old Wizard Shazam from the deities.

Even the gods are now blocked by him in the God Realm, unable to enter the human World.

He never expected that a part of these divine powers would one day return to Zeus's daughter.

If it were other demigods, it wouldn't matter.

But this is Zeus's daughter, with unimaginable potential.

Shazam issued a solemn warning.

"Although you have become a true god, those divine powers all come from this kid.

As long as he takes back the divine power, even if you don't revert to a demigod, you will fall into weakness!

So you'd best not do anything detrimental to humanity!"

Diana frowned.

She could understand Shazam's warning, but being questioned about her determination to protect humanity made her feel very uncomfortable.

"I come from Amazon, and my inherent duty is to protect humanity. Wizard, you can keep your doubts, but one day you will find that you are wrong!"

Shazam could see through a person's lies.

Diana's oath, unmixed with any falsehood, made his eyes flicker slightly.

"Amazon… so you came from there. No wonder."

When Diana and Leon mentioned that she was from Amazon a few minutes ago, Shazam also heard it.

But apparently, he had forgotten again… or rather, he hadn't paid attention at all.

"Old Wizard, don't worry about Diana. Even if humanity betrays the Earth, Diana will not betray humanity. I can guarantee that."

Leon made the guarantee.

He turned his head to look at Kara.

"Diana has become a true god, what about you, how do you feel, Kara?"

Kara withdrew her envious gaze from Diana and shook her head slightly.

"I think this battle suit is a bit ugly. Can I change back just by shouting 'Shazam'?"

Boom!

Before Kara finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck, and she changed back into her Kryptonianbattle suit.

"It seems I'm not the only one who thinks this outfit is strange." Leon said with a smile, "But I'm asking about the change in your strength."

Kara nodded, then whispered "Shazam" again, transforming back.

She clenched her fists and said: "My strength doesn't seem to have changed much after transforming, but… I feel more energetic, and even in this place without Sun, I feel almost no loss of power."

"So it's super endurance?" Leon was a little surprised, "This might be the most suitable divine power for you."

Kara cast a questioning look.

Leon didn't explain directly, but instead took out a small box.

The small box was about the size of a palm.

Leon gently tapped the side, and the box, made of nanomaterials, immediately disappeared like quicksand.

Finally, lying in Leon's palm was a piece of green Kryptonite.

Leon and Kara were very close.

As soon as the Kryptonite was exposed to the air, a hint of discomfort appeared on Kara's indifferent expression.

"This is green Kryptonite. It will weaken the power of Kryptonians and can even directly kill Kryptonians."

Leon took Kara's hand and placed the Kryptonite in her fair palm.

"Because my genes have undergone many transformations, I won't be affected by Kryptonite."

"Now that you have been strengthened by divine power, you might also be able to resist its radiation."

Kryptonite clearly still had a strong weakening and pain-inducing effect on Kara.

As soon as her palm touched the Kryptonite, cold sweat seeped from Kara's forehead, and her face contorted in pain.

But the effect of Kryptonite on her seemed to be limited to that.

Kara's arm trembled slightly, but she did not lose strength and drop the Kryptonite.

Even her spine remained perfectly straight.

"I, I feel my stamina and strength rapidly draining." Kara said, gritting her teeth.

"How fast is it draining?"

"I'll probably turn back into a normal person in a few hours!"

"Then try using your divine power?"

Kara paused, then remembered that she still had divine power she could use.

She invoked her divine power, and the feeling of weakness immediately eased, and the rate of stamina loss significantly slowed.

"Divine power really works!" Kara's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth, usually pressed together, curved slightly upward.

She used her Bio-field and actually floated up.

Even Leon was a bit surprised by this.

What is this?

Supergirl actually floated up with a piece of Kryptonite in her hand!

This level of Kryptonite resistance was already comparable to Wolf Superman, who had been exposed to the Sun for decades.

"Excellent! Truly excellent!" Leon thought to himself that this Shazam divine power was truly a good thing.

It could allow Diana to complete herself and also enhance Kara's various resistances.

And as long as it wasn't taken back by the gods, these divine powers could be used indefinitely.

Even if brought back to Marvel, it wouldn't be affected.

It could simply be called perfect.

Leon suddenly thought again.

Could he share the Shazam divine power with Tony later, and let Solomons Wisdom bless Tony?

However, Solomons Wisdom seemed a bit unconventional…

Leon stroked his chin, deciding to try it after returning.

He put away the Staff of the Gods, just about to thank Shazam.

But at that moment, the space-time of the entire Earth suddenly began to shatter into pieces.

From the atmosphere to the land and down to the Earth's core.

Countless tiny, rhomboid spatial fragments continuously broke off and shattered, revealing the pitch-black void.

It was as if an invisible meat grinder was tearing apart every texture of the Earth.

The four people inside the Eternal Rock looked up almost simultaneously.

"The World restart is about to end!"

Leon's pupils constricted slightly, and he directly waved his hand to pull Diana and Kara back into his inner World.

"See you after the restart, Old Wizard. I'll help you find a truly suitable successor then! I'm leaving first!"

Leon planned to see the future after the restart.

Firstly, to take Kara to meet her cousin Superman, and incidentally collect Superman's blood (after all, it's Superman's blood).

Then, to take Diana to see the newly refreshed Paradise Island in the future, to reassure the Amazonwarriors.

Finally, to return Barry's mother to him.

So, with a thought, he was about to activate his Crossing (crossing) ability.

But at this moment, Old Wizard Shazam shouted, "Don't run!" and pounced on him, hugging him.

"What are you doing?" Leon's eyes widened, "Shouldn't you turn into dust directly after passing on the divine power, and then go to another realm to enjoy yourself?"

The Old Wizard puffed out his beard, clinging to Leon's waist and glaring at him.

"The ocean of the New World can accommodate this old ship of mine, kid. I'm afraid you'll just run off! I gave you divine power hoping you'd deal with Darkseid in the future!"

"You want to come along and supervise me?" Leon's mouth twitched, "Wait, I'm going to fight Darkseid?"

"Shazam's duty is to protect humanity. If you don't fight, who will?"

"Darkseid doesn't need to be fought. Flash can solve any problem by restarting a few times. You get down first!"

"What if Flash is killed?"

"How could Flash be killed… Alright, alright, I'll take you with me. Stop rubbing the oil from your beard on my waist!"

"Hurry up, kid! Space is already starting to shatter!"

The moment the Eternal Rock was engulfed by the spatial torrent, Leon and the Old Wizard disappeared from the DCEU World.

Chapter 349 Escape Reboot

In the boundless World.

Paradise Island, freshly torn from the continental shelf, floated on a blood-red ocean.

The Amazon warriors stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at this vast sea.

"This isn't the sea where Paradise Island was before. Could it be that the World's reboot has ended?"

Queen Hippolyta looked up at the sky, where dozens of Suns hung.

Then she looked down at the ocean, where thousand-meter waves rolled up every second.

Being directly hit by so many Suns, yet feeling no burning sensation.

Being struck by such high waves on the shore, yet feeling no tremors of landslides.

"Could it be that we've rebooted to the time when the World was first created, before even the gods were born?"

Her Majesty the Queen was awestruck by this World, which was filled with natural power and a wild, untamed aura.

The Amazon warriors by her side were equally stunned.

Suddenly, a booming voice, as if it could shatter the sky, came from high above.

"This is My World. You will temporarily reside here. Once the situation outside stabilizes, I will send you out."

Hippolyta's eardrums ached from the booming voice.

"Are you… Li Ang?"

She incredibly peered left and right.

This ocean had no boundaries; not even a shadow of land could be seen.

Other than Paradise Island beneath their feet, there were only two gigantic, glowing White stone pillars standing tall in the distance, reaching into the clouds.

Where was Li Ang speaking to them from?

"It is I. The giant in front of you and the ocean below are My Black Light Clones. During your stay here, remember not to jump into the ocean below; every drop of Water in it weighs over a thousand tons!"

Li Ang issued a warning, then added, "Diana will come to find you soon. I'm going to cultivate first."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The two stone pillars in the distance, reaching into the sky, suddenly moved.

They moved one after another, stirring up terrifying giant waves that swept high into the sky. The Shadow of every wave could obscure the entire Paradise Island.

Queen Hippolyta's eyes slowly widened, and her mouth opened to its limit.

So those two stone pillars weren't stone pillars, but Li Ang's cloned legs!?

She slowly looked up, her gaze moving upwards with the stone pillars.

The sky full of White clouds was churned into tofu-like mud by those two legs.

Her vision passed through the messy White clouds, only to see indistinct Shadows extending towards an unseen destination.

Even at the end of her vision, Hippolyta couldn't see what the parts above those legs looked like.

"Is that really Li Ang!?" an Amazon warrior exclaimed, covering her mouth.

"He, he must be at least a million meters tall. Were the hundred-armed giants in myths this tall?"

"Oh my goodness, can such a Li Ang truly, truly be dealt with by Diana?"

"What are you saying? Li Ang didn't say that this is his Black Light Clone, not his true body!"

"Could he actually be the reincarnation of the Sky Giant Atlas?"

The warriors discussed animatedly.

Queen Hippolyta, however, stared blankly at the giant legs in the distance, then lowered her head to look at the blood-red sea below the cliff.

This ocean is also a Black Light Clone...

Just who exactly is Li Ang?

…

On the other side.

Above the continent of the inner World.

Li Ang, accompanied by the two women and Tony, landed on a plain.

However, this Li Ang was not the main body of Li Ang.

But a Black Light Clone that had transformed into a Hasiki.

"You said you are... Li Ang's Black Light Clone?" Tony looked curiously at the Hasiki, which stood upright and was about a meter tall.

"Why so formal? I am Li Ang; just a part of My consciousness has been separated."

The Hasiki rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner.

This immediately made Diana and Kara curiously rub the dog's head.

Tony also leaned down to carefully examine Blacklight Lyon: "I understand. It's like you simultaneously control your hands and feet; this Black Light Clone is equivalent to you growing an extra hand."

"Roughly." Blacklight Lyon, enduring the four hands rubbing his head, pointed into the distance.

"You all can stay on this plain for now. I'll let you out once I've assessed the situation."

Tony nodded, unable to resist touching the Hasiki's back.

"I can understand everything else, but Li Ang, why is your Black Light Clone a dog?"

Li Ang shook his body, shaking off all the hands on him.

"Superman even raises a Kryptonian puppy named Lil Krypto. Marvel doesn't have a Lil Krypto to raise, so can't I transform into one myself?"

Saying that, he waved his hand, "Alright, you can look around. You'll be able to leave soon."

Tony, however, was not convinced.

The guy was shaken back a few steps, then stared and pounced to hug Li Ang.

"You've turned into a Hasiki, and you still won't let me pet you? You've really become a Hasiki, haven't you?"

However, Blacklight Lyon glanced at Tony, and his solid body suddenly liquefied, turning into a mass of black virus.

"I'm going to cultivate. Don't disturb My Black Light Clone's cultivation."

The black virus vibrated, emitting a sound, then, like liquid seeping into the earth, it permeated the ground.

"Holy moly!" Tony exclaimed with envy.

"This Black Light Clone can even transform, Li Ang! Li Ang, come out and teach me; I want to learn this!"

If he could also create such a transformable Black Light Clone.

He couldn't even imagine how wonderful his life would be from then on!

All sorts of thoughts began to reflexively surface in Tony's mind—

Once he learned it, his main body could focus on being devoted, while the Black Light Clone could attend various parties to provide spiritual nourishment for his main body's devotion.

He could even transform into Pepper himself, and do it himself...

Hehe!

Tony was lost in wild fantasies.

Li Ang's merciless voice emerged from underground, bursting his imagined pink bubble.

"This ability was given by a World Consciousness; you can't learn it. Don't start dreaming in broad daylight."

"What? No! You must be lying, right?!" Tony weakly punched the ground.

However, a breeze swept over the sand on the ground, and Tony received no response from Li Ang.

He raised his head, his face full of worry.

What greeted him were the contemptuous gazes of Diana and Kara, who had already retreated more than ten meters away.

Damn it, he was socially dead again.

"Sir, I am unable to connect to the network to order a grave for you today. Would you like me to control the armor to dig a custom-made one for you?"

Jarvis suddenly spoke up thoughtfully.

Regarding Tony's social death, he had already learned to answer questions preemptively.

"Shut up, Jarvis." Tony slapped his face.

...

Li Ang, with Shazam clinging to his leg, began to traverse.

The two first appeared at Superman's doorstep in the "Superman & Louise" World.

"Hmm? We're here? Is the World reboot that fast? Hiss, why don't I sense the existence of another me?"

The Old Wizard let go of Li Ang, patted his clothes, and stood up, his face calm.

Clearly, he didn't feel at all that he should be embarrassed by his undignified behavior just now.

"Because we are in another World. Now we will use this World as a springboard to return to the time point after the reboot."

Li Ang looked back at Superman's family; they were all sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

Wolf Superman had lived a long period of peaceful life, so his vigilance was indeed not very good.

Two suspicious people suddenly appeared at his doorstep, and he didn't even wake up.

"Oh? Is that so? Then hurry up, kid, let's go back!"

As soon as the Old Wizard heard it was another World, he curiously glanced around, then hung onto Li Ang's waist again.

Li Ang suppressed the urge to kick the old man away and activated his traversal ability again.

In the chaotic traversal perspective.

The DCEU Universe bubble was still constantly tumbling, re-sorting its timeline.

A few seconds later, the World stabilized again.

Li Ang controlled his ability, confirming the traversal.

"Hmm? I can only traverse to a much later time point. Could it be that Barry's reboot caused a significant impact this time?"

Two figures disappeared from Kent Farm.

Inside the idyllic cottage, Wolf Superman turned over sweetly, embracing Louise.

Chapter 350 Batman and the Joker

DCEU Universe.

Northeast Africa, north of Egypt, Khandaq Kingdom.

In the desert, a group of people traversed through the howling sandstorm.

Thick yellow sand had accumulated on their bodies, and their weary footsteps left impressions of varying depths in the sand.

After walking a few meters, those impressions were once again buried by the wind and sand.

There was no communication within the group of seven or eight people.

Everyone moved forward in silence, their eyes fixed on the ground, weariness written all over them from head to toe.

The leader wore a long black cloak, its hem tattered into shreds.

He wore a pitch-black cowl that covered half his face.

Atop the cowl were two sharp, decorative fake ears, and below, a chin covered in half-white stubble was visible.

Pulling his right foot out of the sand once more, the leader suddenly stopped.

He had heard something.

He suddenly yelled, "Conceal!"

This entire team consisted of elites.

The moment the leader stopped, the weariness on their faces vanished, and their tired eyes regained their sharpness.

Upon hearing the command to conceal.

Everyone simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground.

One of them pulled back the linen cloak that covered his entire body, revealing a body and arms made entirely of machinery.

His arm transformed into a cannon barrel with a series of crisp, precise mechanical clicks.

The cannon barrel suddenly expelled a large amount of gas, blowing up a vast area of yellow sand on the ground, covering everyone.

In just a few seconds.

The group of weary travelers suddenly disappeared into the depths of the desert.

Less than half a minute after they disappeared.

A swarm of locust-like creatures suddenly flew overhead.

These creatures had humanoid bodies, four dragonfly-like wings on their backs, and held firearms in their hands, their crimson eyes scanning the desert below.

They were not fast, and only after each creature confirmed that it had found no signs of life did they continue flying to the other side of the desert.

After these creatures flew far away.

Several heads slowly emerged from a circle of dust in the desert.

The leader gazed at the enemies who had departed far away.

He said with a firm voice, "Safe!"

Only then did the others stand up from the sand, shaking their shoulders as grains of sand rustled down.

The team member whose body was entirely mechanical looked up at the sky with hatred.

"How much further to the ruins?" he asked.

The leader replied in a low, hoarse voice, "Soon!"

The mechanical man shook his head and walked towards the leader, his body's joints creaking from mechanical friction.

"We must hurry, Batman, the World is on the brink of destruction, we don't have time!"

The leader was indeed Batman, and the mechanical man was naturally Cyborg.

These two main figures of the Justice League were now in a sorry state.

Cyborg's body, transformed into a semi-mechanical life by the mother box, now flickered with electrical sparks, and some parts even had clear burn marks.

Batman's battlesuit also lacked its usual sophisticated equipment, with only a chest plate that still had decent toughness remaining.

"Heh, no time? Then why run to such a distant place!"

Suddenly, the only female in the team retorted loudly, somewhat on the verge of breaking down.

"That person killed Arthur! He controlled Superman! He killed most of the life in the entire World, and the rest were all controlled by him as slaves! Running away is useless, how much longer do we have to run?!"

Batman's tone rose slightly, "Mera, we came here to save everyone!"

But then his voice deepened again, "Flash is dead, we have no retreat, we must find help."

"Lyon Stark, whom Flash mentioned, has not yet appeared, so we can only come to find Black Adam, whom Diana mentioned!"

"This is the last message Diana left us before she died, don't be emotional, Mera!"

Mera was the wife of Aquaman, Arthur Curry.

But now Arthur was dead, killed by Darkseid.

Mera embarked on the path of revenge.

"Emotional?"

Mera stared directly at Batman, "Bruce Wayne, do you know what it means to be emotional? You haven't even loved anyone!"

Batman looked at her coldly as well, his eyes, visible beneath the Batman cowl, were distinctly blue and White.

"Keep moving!"

Leaving behind a command that brooked no refusal.

Batman turned and continued walking deeper into the desert.

"Heh heh… Hahaha, heh heh hahaha!!"

A low and sharp laugh suddenly echoed through the small team.

The laughter was extremely strange, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, or like a duck with an iron rod stuck in its throat, laughing.

Except for Batman, everyone looked over.

It was the Joker.

His face was painted with pale makeup, and his entire mouth was crimson, making it hard to tell if his lips were rotting or if he had applied too much paint.

He wore a very simple long-sleeved White shirt, over which he had a commando bulletproof vest, and he was laughing so hard his back was bent.

"Little mermaid."

He said, laughing, his voice shifting between an extremely high-pitched falsetto and a deep, true voice.

"You're wrong, quack quack."

"Bruce Wayne has loved many people, more deeply than you."

He slowly straightened up, but pressed his wrist against his forehead, continuing to shake his shoulders with laughter.

As if he was about to tell a good story that he had kept hidden his entire life and was finally going to reveal.

"For example, a father."

When the Joker officially began telling his story, he stopped laughing; his tone was very serious.

"And for example, a mother; oh right, perhaps also an adopted son, everyone called him…"

Batman stopped walking forward at this moment.

He slowly turned around, his eyes fixed only on the Joker, who was also looking at him.

"You'd best think carefully about whether you want to continue." Batman's voice was as low as ever.

Even when uttering a threatening remark, his emotions were indiscernible.

But the Joker, upon being threatened, seemed happier, his lips curling into a grin.

"And an adopted son, everyone called him Robin, didn't they, Batman? How much you loved them, loved them until they all died…"

Batman walked towards the Joker with an expressionless face.

The Joker looked at him, using both index fingers to pull up the corners of his mouth.

"Why are you always so serious? So what if it's the end of the World? Hasn't everything become like this because of your choices?"

"Perhaps the little mermaid is right, the people you loved most are all dead, so the rest don't matter."

"You're numb, Batman, when Louise died in your arms, weren't her eyes incredibly beautiful, like a fleeting shooting star?"

"Poor Louise, before she died, she had endured the greatest torment in the entire World."

The Joker looked as if he was about to cry, his eyelids closing in apparent agony.

As if he was truly heartbroken for the girl named Louise.

Batman was already standing in front of the Joker, his gaze looking down.

"You're right, I've long been numb." Batman said, "My heart was buried in the ground a long time ago, but if you dare to cross my bottom line again…"

"What will you do?" The Joker cupped his face with both hands, his eyebrows raised pitifully, "Are you going to kill me? The great Batman is going to kill me?"

He suddenly scoffed, "Don't be ridiculous, Bruce, you won't kill me."

"I am your friend, your savior, your trump card to save this World."

"You can't bear to kill me, just like… you couldn't bear to sacrifice yourself to save Louise, and then this World was destroyed because of your reluctance."

"Poor Flash, helping you restart the World again and again, and then letting the World be destroyed because of your cowardice, oh, my poor unloved Flash, he sacrificed himself for nothing."

Batman watched the Joker's theatrics with a cold gaze.

He suddenly sneered, "That's a very interesting joke, do you know, it wasn't Louise who died in my arms, but Harley Quinn."

"She lay in my arms, covered in blood, and with her last breath before she died, she begged me to take my time when I killed you."

"Don't doubt it, I will kill you one day."

"And when that day comes, I will, as Harley Quinn begged before she died, let you die little by little, in torment and pain."

After Batman finished speaking, he turned and continued walking into the desert.

And behind him.

The Joker's body trembled like a sieve, and he stood frozen like a statue.

Everyone looked at the two of them, then continued to follow Batman.

This time, even Mera remained silent.
