Jason was hidden in the shadows, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, wondering who would appear today.
"Quick, catch him."
"Damn it, he's still crawling so fast even like this."
"Be careful, don't hurt him."
The Joker was on all fours, scuttling like a Beast through the corridors, his eyes filled with terror.
Behind him, a Legion of people, armed with ropes and nets, pursued him relentlessly.
"A cat? The movement isn't right. A mouse."
Jason watched with interest.
This was already his essential daily show.
He felt uncomfortable if he didn't watch it for a day.
"Is it good?"
"Good… Who!"
Jason suddenly startled awake, a crowbar appearing in his hand, swinging it behind him.
Clang!
The crowbar hit the other person's arm.
"Treating your Uncle like this the moment we meet, your Uncle is very sad."
Jason's mouth twitched as he pulled back the bent crowbar, his palm feeling numb.
"You're not my Uncle."
After saying that, he ignored the guy and continued to watch the farce below.
"Are you satisfied with this punishment?"
"…Thank you."
Jason's voice was faint.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Jason pulled up his hood and left towards the ceiling.
"A difficult little bird."
Richard glanced at the farce below and then left.
He was about to go to Kandak to check the situation.
He suddenly stopped.
"Barry?"
His body instantly vanished from where he stood.
In the Speed Force.
A figure blurred into an afterimage, surrounded by brilliant lightning.
Behind him, a dazzling red beam of light pursued him like a ghost, that beam seemingly containing endless destructive aura.
He didn't know how long he had to run, but if he stopped, he would die.
Running to death was the greatest punishment for a Speedster.
The person running was the Flash, Barry Allen. At this moment, his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurry, and every step he took felt like it was tearing at his life.
Just as he was about to be swallowed by despair, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"What are you doing, Barry?"
The sudden voice beside him startled the Flash. He turned to look beside him, and he didn't know when, a person wearing a black and red battle suit had appeared beside him.
"Who are you? Get away from me quickly, the Omega Beam is about to catch up to me, and you'll die too."
Barry shouted anxiously, his voice full of concern for this stranger.
"Is that so?"
Richard realized that this Barry didn't seem to know him.
His gaze then turned to the Omega Beam that was still relentlessly pursuing them.
This was a highly destructive and tracking energy beam, essentially a hyper-dimensional energy form that transcended conventional physical laws.
In addition to direct physical damage, the Omega Beam could also cause harm to the target's soul and mind, inflicting immense physical and mental suffering.
It could also alter the target's molecular structure, turning living beings into inanimate objects or decomposing objects into fundamental particles.
It could be said that Darkseid possessed this move, and few could withstand it.
Speedsters were among them, but this Barry hadn't learned some advanced techniques yet.
Chaos Heat Vision.
Crimson rays burst from Richard's eyes.
The Chaos Heat Vision collided fiercely with the Omega Beam. For a moment, the Speed Force seemed to be distorted by these two powerful energies.
After a second of stalemate, the Omega Beam was annihilated.
"Oh my God, you're also Superman! Thank you for your help, but I don't have time to thank you now. I have to rush back to save people. If I'm still alive, I'll come find you."
Barry was first startled, then overjoyed. The Omega Beam, which had haunted him like a nightmare for so long, had finally disappeared.
Barry ran back to where he came from; he didn't even understand how he got here.
Richard looked in the direction Barry had left.
"Should I follow him? This foolish boy might die."
Venom's voice echoed in his mind.
"Let's go see. I also want to experience Darkseid. If I can't beat him, I'll run. I don't believe he can run all the way to Marvel to find me."
The bustling and solemn Washington D.C.
The clear sky was now occupied by dense, sky-obscuring Parademons.
The Parademons ravaged every corner of the city like locusts, frantically capturing innocent humans and transforming them into their own kind—new Parademons.
As soon as Barry emerged from the Speed Force, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Barry, you need to run. There are still many people waiting for you to save."
Barry propped himself up, his legs trembling as he stood.
The Speed Force also consumed stamina. He had been running all night, and his stamina was long exhausted.
The Parademons in the sky also noticed Barry on the ground.
They swooped down on him.
Buzz!
A thick red beam of light shot into the sky, instantly incinerating all the Parademons in that area into ashes.
The scorching high temperature distorted the surrounding air, and a pungent burnt smell permeated the air.
"It scared me so much I almost had a phobia of crowds."
Barry turned his head and saw the Superman he had just met.
"Thank you. Can I ask you to save this World?"
Barry didn't bother to ask why the other person was here. At this moment, he had only one thought: to save this World on the verge of destruction.
"Yes, but my intervention comes with a price. What do you intend to offer as payment?"
Richard said.
"Everything I have."
Barry stood up, his gaze firm.
"No, what use would a man be to me?"
Richard couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He also had the Speed Force.
The Flash could be a teammate.
But as a subordinate, he had never considered recruiting anyone from the Justice League. After all, who knew when these people would bring him trouble? Maybe one day they would be the death of him.
Richard shook his head, thought for a moment, and said.
"The Justice League owes me a favor. Do you agree?"
"Okay, I agree on their behalf."
Barry quickly said.
Although he didn't know what the Justice League was, he still agreed.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much. If he didn't hurry, this World would be completely destroyed.
"First, let me see what's happening here."
Richard's perspective began to rise and expand outwards.
There was no Doomsday battle in this World, which meant Batman had not formed the Justice League in advance.
A day ago, Parademons appeared on Earth, slaughtering and plundering populations worldwide.
Batman was the first to discover them and began investigating, clashing with Green Lantern and Superman during the process. However, under the persuasion of the Justice League succubus, they temporarily reconciled.
They investigated together, but it was too late.
Portals appeared all over the globe.
Countless Parademons emerged from them, along with their Master, Darkseid!
Superman and Batman were captured alive.
Wonder Woman lost an arm, Green Lantern covered the retreat, and Shazam also appeared, but he and Wonder Woman were defeated while resisting Darkseid, causing him to revert from his transformation and fall unconscious.
Cyborg built a safe house and temporarily hid the injured.
Richard's perspective continued to move, arriving before a massive structure on the ocean.
Inside the building, Richard saw this World's Superman and Batman.
Their faces were distorted, and they were kneeling, having been transformed into Super Apokolips Parademons.
And in the center of the main hall, on a massive throne, sat a burly gray giant.
"Have you seen enough?"
The past Darkseid raised his head and met the gaze of the future Richard.
Red light gleamed in his eyes.
