Ch: 361-370
Chapter 361 Avengers: Apokolips War
After Batman lost his cowl, his messy hair fluttered in the wind like weeds.
But he didn't care about his image at all.
His entire heart was focused on the Hasiki.
"Is it really the Speed Force!?" Batman's always low voice fluctuated.
"That's right, my Lil' Krypto is a bit special, possessing the same Speed Force as Flash."
Leon spread his hands, "He can do things including but not limited to traveling through time and changing the past."
The roaring wind on the dunes was very loud.
But everyone's suddenly heavy breathing was clearly audible.
Batman, Deathstroke, Cyborg, Mera…
Their gazes towards the Black Light Clone changed.
It was as if they were looking at the biggest treasure in the World.
Their glowing eyes seemed to want to pounce on him immediately, holding the Hasiki's wise dog head and giving it a big kiss.
Tony was also a bit excited.
"Your avatar… Lil' Krypto, can he also learn Flash's abilities?"
Tony increasingly wanted to learn Leon's avatar technique.
He stroked his chin, his desire to immediately return to Marvel changing.
"Since there's the Speed Force that can change the past, then everything is different."
The Speed Force in DC represents hope in desperate situations.
The moment the Black Light Clone displayed the Speed Force.
Everyone understood that the tide was turning at this very moment!
"No need to rebuild Earth anymore." Batman suddenly felt invigorated.
His deep eyes, which seemed to contain a Universe-sized sorrow, suddenly ignited with fighting spirit.
"We're going to Apokolips, to find Darkseid!"
He tore off his cape, revealing his muscular physique.
"Leon, please take your friends and stay on Earth. Don't wait long, we will bring back all intelligence from Apokolips."
Leon raised an eyebrow: "Just you guys? What if you don't come back?"
"If we don't come back, it means we've already gotten what we wanted on Apokolips."
Batman showed a cool smile.
This was the first time he had smiled in a long time.
That face, 80% similar to actor Ben Affleck, looked incredibly cool when he smiled.
He tightened his wrist guards and nodded to Leon, saying,
"But no matter what, the intelligence will be sent back."
"When restarting the World, please tell the past me that Louise is the key."
No one had any objection to Batman's arrangements.
Their trip was a suicide mission.
But since the World could be restarted.
Then they would be satisfied if they took out a few more people from Apokolips before they died.
The seven-person team immediately began to organize their equipment.
Joker inserted the stolen laser weapon into his waist, grinned, and hummed an inexplicable tune.
If you listened closely, you would hear him humming "Kill that Batman."
When Joker had Batman on his lips, he was truly happy.
Deathstroke and Mera began to wipe their weapons, Doctor Fate floated in the air, Atom and Cyborg were also eager to try.
They were not the Justice League now.
But a group of desperadoes, sharpening their swords, willing to face a myriad of enemies.
The billions of humans who had disappeared from Earth were their killing intent.
They would not rest until they had torn Apokolips apart.
"Good plan." Leon nodded.
"But going to Apokolips to deal with Darkseid, wasn't that my plan to begin with?"
Batman paused his equipment check: "No, you can't go to Apokolips."
"You and your Lil' Krypto are the last hope.
What you need to do is wait for the intelligence to be transmitted back.
Then restart the World.
And bring the intelligence to fight Darkseid with us!"
Leon shook his head: "Bruce, it's not just you who have a grudge; we also have a grudge against Darkseid."
Behind Leon.
Diana in dark gold armor.
And Kara in her Shazam state.
Also wanted to join this battle.
Diana was angry because Paradise Island was destroyed after the restart.
Kara was angry because her cousin was controlled.
Even Tony was outraged by Darkseid's atrocities.
The Old Wizard had already jumped up, urging Leon to quickly fulfill Shazam's duty and eliminate Darkseid.
Batman glanced at them.
"The Diana of our timeline doesn't look the same as this one of yours,
and Clark may not be the same cousin this Kryptonian lady had originally,
you don't need to feel hatred for what happened here."
"Then you're wrong. We Avengers are accustomed to avenging anything that invades Earth." Tony, with his armor attached, stepped forward and said.
Since Leon could restart the World.
Then he had to get involved in saving Earth.
"Avengers? That's right, we are all Avengers now." Batman nodded silently.
Tony smiled, gripping Batman's hand tightly: "Batman, you need us."
"Leaving Lil' Krypto on Earth is enough.
Let's go to Apokolips together and step on Darkseid's head to ask him.
If a lack of paternal love turned him into a butcher.
Then I happen to have experience raising children who lack love."
Tony's words made Leon shake his head speechlessly.
Batman knew he couldn't stop them anymore.
He looked deeply at the people on Leon's side: "Then let's act together."
Tony clapped his hands: "Excellent! From now on, we are a new organization."
"A new organization certainly needs a name. How about the Avengers?"
Mera spun her spear, creating a Flash of silver light, and was very satisfied: "Good name."
Atom and Cyborg knew about Marvel comics.
When they heard the name, their expressions were a bit strange, but they didn't object.
This temporarily assembled team thus settled on a name.
Leon left the Black Light Clone, which was the Hasiki Lil' Krypto, on Earth.
The group prepared themselves.
Tony, wearing the "Anti-Superman Armor," stood at the very front.
A shield suddenly popped out from his arm.
"Avengers!"
He raised his shield high and shouted.
"Assemble!"
If lightning had struck at that moment, Tony would have appeared even more imposing.
But at this point, everyone hadn't even decided how to depart.
After Tony shouted assemble, everyone was silent for a few seconds.
Batman spoke softly: "We can steal a ship from Apokolips, force Darkseid to open a Boom Tube, and then find an opportunity to seize a mother box to go to Apokolips."
Apokolips was unknown how far from Earth.
They said they wanted to pull Darkseid off his throne.
But none of the people present had interstellar transportation.
"No need for so much trouble."
Leon raised his hand to interrupt: "While you were preparing for battle, I wasn't idle."
"Darkseid's fleet is transmitting Earth's energy back to Apokolips."
"Through them, I've locked onto the location."
"Get ready everyone, I'll open a spatial portal, and once we're through, we'll go straight into battle."
Leon drew a circle in the air, and golden sparks burst forth from nothing.
The Old Wizard's eyes lit up, praising it as good magic.
More and more sparks appeared in the air, finally forming a golden circular portal.
Behind the portal was a wilderness, and in the distance of the wilderness were houses arranged like fish scales.
A huge building shaped like Darkseid's head stood in the center.
"We're here already?" Atom's mouth dropped open in surprise, "What's our battle strategy going to be?"
Leon was the first to step through the portal.
He waved his hand: "Use your respective abilities, and just go for anyone you see."
The shield on Tony's arm disappeared, and his armor spewed Fire as he followed Leon.
As he flew, he shouted again: "Avengers, attack!"
Batman turned back, memorizing Earth's final appearance, and followed into the portal.
Chapter 362 Meeting and Opening
A single door's distance, and on the other side was Apokolips.
This was an incredibly oppressive Planet.
The sky was a fiery red, as if the World was ending, lava flowed across the land everywhere, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur.
After everyone successfully landed.
They looked up to see Leon flying in the air, his Freezing Breath freezing the entire city in front of him.
Thick layers of ice enveloped every building there within a few breaths.
Even the particles in the air crystallized into ice.
Then Leon ghostly descended into the city.
Unlike Superman, whose every move caused a violent commotion.
Leon was incredibly fast, so fast that no one could see his movements, yet he was completely silent.
It was as if he didn't exist in the World, or perhaps he could switch his state between a ghost and a living person.
The moment he landed in the city on Apokolips.
He became a living person.
In an instant, he unleashed a mountain-shaking, earth-shattering commotion!
A terrifying roar that could make one's heart tremble erupted!
The entire city, frozen solid, shattered.
The outer walls of the buildings, the Parademons in the sky, the city's residents, all turned into tiny, sand-like ice crystals.
A terrifying Impact spread from the area where Leon landed.
Countless ice crystals spread with the Impact.
Wherever it passed, the ground collapsed, cracked, and disintegrated.
Batman and the others hadn't even reacted when the terrifying Impact arrived.
The ground beneath their feet was collapsing, and the magma from below was gushing upwards.
And in front of them, there was an Impact that could destroy everything.
Batman and his group were already stunned.
They had just appeared, hadn't even seen the enemy, and it seemed they were about to be annihilated by the aftershocks of an ally's attack?
"Step back!" Diana suddenly shouted, her voice bright, as she shielded everyone.
"Heh Ah!" She roared, forcefully crossing and clapping her arms in front of her chest.
Buzz~
A surging divine power shot into the sky.
Spreading out in a semicircle.
Counteracting the layers of Impact that came like a tide.
Various massive energies collided at this moment.
Magma erupted, and fiery meteors fell from the sky.
The ice fragments of the city violently rubbed together in the Impact, turning into a sky full of fire.
Everything visible on Apokolips looked as if it had been drenched in gasoline and set ablaze.
One moment, it was frozen for a thousand miles, the next, it was a sky-burning inferno.
Leon came here to destroy this place.
The ground beneath everyone's feet had completely collapsed into magma.
Hot bubbles churned in the magma.
Batman and Mera, who couldn't fly, were held by Tony, Kara, and Dr. Fate.
"So, is this over?" Atom, held by Dr. Fate, asked dazedly.
Everywhere was fire and a sky full of dust.
It was even more terrifying than the countless wildfires that erupted in Los Angeles every year.
He couldn't see Leon's situation at all.
"No, it's just beginning," Kara said in a deep voice.
"Take us there, my blade is as impatient as Leon's," said Deathstroke.
Everyone moved forward, weaving through the rain of fire falling from the sky.
After flying for some distance.
They finally saw Leon, and Darkseid confronting Leon.
On the few scattered pieces of land surrounded by magma.
Darkseid and his only two remaining subordinates stood with their hands behind their backs.
Even after personally witnessing his city, residents, and subordinates instantly destroyed by Leon.
This dark tyrant still exuded an invincible aura at this moment.
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, meeting Leon's gaze in the air.
"Kryptonian, you don't know what you're doing. Submit to me, and I can let you live."
"Is that so? But unfortunately, I have no intention of letting you live."
Leon suddenly unleashed his Heat Vision.
Blazing red killing intent descended from the sky.
Anyone should turn to dust under this killing intent.
But Darkseid still stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of anger appearing on his face, which was rough and terrifying like charcoal ash.
Omega Beams erupted!
Darkseid's eyes also burst forth with crimson rays.
The World, already ignited by the rain of fire, was once again dyed a layer of scarlet.
Terrifying temperatures and shockwaves erupted, as if the World was gradually being destroyed and melted.
Everyone in the air retreated slightly, dodging a circle of Impact.
"This is impossible!?" Tony, inside his Mark Armor, suddenly exclaimed.
Leon's Heat Vision was actually pushed back by Darkseid!
This was the first time Tony had seen Leon show a decline after releasing Heat Vision.
"Nothing is impossible!"
A cold, blade-like voice came from below the group.
It was Darkseid's two subordinates rushing over.
Tony had seen them in the comics.
They were Granny Goodness, responsible for training Darkseid's army.
And DeSaad, Darkseid's scientific advisor and strategist.
"Great Darkseid's Omega Beams, derived from the powerful Omega Effect, can erase any matter and energy. Your Kryptonian friend has no chance of winning," DeSaad said.
Granny Goodness, with her White hair, sneered: "Before you worry about that Kryptonian, worry about yourselves!"
She raised her arms and shouted: "Come, my children! Bring Death to these despicable creatures!"
Countless flapping sounds responded.
Apokolips was inhabited by an endless number of Parademons.
They were all transformed from the residents of Worlds Darkseid had once conquered.
"Darkseid really has no one to use, even an old woman has to be sent to the battlefield."
Tony, carrying Batman, flew to the front of the group.
"Granny Goodness, you'll soon learn how serious it is to underestimate the Avengers."
"By the way, the one fighting your charcoal-faced BOSS isn't a Kryptonian, but an Earthling, and he won't lose either!"
As his voice fell.
Tony suddenly controlled the Mark Armor on his body to open quickly.
He descended in the air, took out an Ark Reactor and placed it on his chest, and black mycelium surged from his body, covering him entirely.
The Fungus God Armor appeared again!
Tony controlled the Mark Armor to activate its thrusters and stabilize his posture.
He casually fired a cannon at Granny Goodness, but it was blocked by DeSaad's energy shield.
Tony didn't mind, he changed direction and rushed towards the densest area where the Parademonswere surging.
"Jarvis, lend the Anti-Superman Armor to Batman, assist him in dealing with Granny Goodness and the sulfur-faced scientist, we'll take care of the Parademons!"
"Yes, sir!"
Tony charged into the Parademon swarm, the Fungus God Armor going all out—
Not with cannon fire, but with mycelium.
Dense mycelium spread out hundreds of meters in an instant, and thousands of Parademons were devoured.
The next moment, a twenty-meter-tall mycelium giant stood tall.
As more and more Parademons were devoured, the giant's size grew larger and larger.
In the back.
The Anti-Superman Armor fitted onto Batman's body.
With a series of crisp clicking sounds of parts.
The Mark Armor transformed into the style of a Batsuit.
"Mr. Wayne, Jarvis is honored to serve you."
Batman quickly became proficient in controlling the Mark Armor.
He activated the thrusters and moved his limbs: "A good Mark Armor. What's its name?"
"Anti-Superman Armor."
..."Heh, I also had a piece of Anti-Superman heavy armor."
Batman suddenly remembered the heavy armor he used to beat Clark.
"Jarvis, now we are the Avengers from Hell, let's temporarily rename this Mark Armor the Hellbat Armor."
"Of course, Mr. Wayne."]}
Chapter 363 Control of the Anti-Life Equation
Every individual has their own battlefield.
Batman swooped down towards DeSaad.
The Anti-Superman Armor, or rather, the Hellbat Armor as it was temporarily renamed,
provided him with strength comparable to Superman during his invasion of Earth.
With the immense power and super speed of a steel body,
Batman adapted completely with just one swoop.
Upon landing, he punched DeSaad, who had once again activated his energy shield, sending him flying.
Another palm cannon directly blew off the head of Granny Goodness, who had been spouting threats just half a minute ago.
Exploding blood splattered across the surface of the dark Batman Armor.
Batman pursed his lips: "So, this is how Clark feels."
In the sky,
Doctor Fate and Cyborg, along with the rest of the Bat-team, flew in the opposite direction from Tony.
They were going to intercept the Parademons to prevent Leon's battle from being disturbed.
Kara and Diana exchanged a look.
At the same time, they flew towards Darkseid.
Leon was currently being pursued by curving Omega Beams, looking somewhat disheveled.
However, he actually didn't need support.
Omega Beams, in fact, can also be called the Omega Effect.
It is not an ability.
Instead, it is a power belonging to the New Gods of Apokolips.
It can vaporize, erase, and even conceptually eliminate targets.
Leon confronted the Omega Beams with his Heat Vision.
Every second, the energy in his Heat Vision was being erased, unable to effectively block the Omega Beams.
This was like Leon being a high-level player with full gear and runes.
But Darkseid was wielding an overpowered weapon with developer privileges.
To directly contend with the Omega Beams, only the genuine Superman could do it.
Superman has the protection of the Source Wall and would not be erased by the Omega Effect; at most, he would be severely injured or pierced through.
Of course, Batman could also do it.
In comics and animations,
Batman has more than once dodged the Omega Beams or survived by traveling through parallel Worlds after being hit.
...
Heat Vision could not directly confront Darkseid.
So Leon began to fly at extreme speed.
Behind him were the Omega Beams, automatically tracking him and curving at any moment.
He circled in the air, and the Omega Beams also circled.
He suddenly accelerated, and the Beams also accelerated.
When his speed increased to near Light Speed,
Leon suddenly charged towards Darkseid.
As he got close, Darkseid's eyes widened.
He tried to react, but it was too late.
Leon unleashed a short, swift, powerful punch to Darkseid's abdomen.
Under the control of Leon's Bio-field, the Impact force, comparable to that of a Planet, was concentrated into a single point and burst forth.
Boom!!!
Even though Leon was worried about affecting others and tried his best to control the force,
the massive and terrifying Impact wave still exploded with overwhelming power.
The last bit of land beneath their feet shattered, and magma surged thousands of meters high, more terrifying than Earth's most violent volcanic eruption.
Darkseid directly vomited blood, his body feeling as if it would be pulverized.
Leon's figure suddenly turned into a Shadow and disappeared.
His speed was too fast, fast enough to leave afterimages in Darkseid's eyes.
After Leon disappeared, the Omega Beams couldn't change direction in time and directly blasted into Darkseid's abdomen.
"Ah!!"
His abdomen was severely wounded again, and Darkseid cried out in pain.
His hands, which had been kept behind his back in a domineering posture, could no longer maintain it.
He gritted his teeth and clutched his abdomen.
Darkseid's red eyes blazed like rising Fire, staring intently at Leon in the air.
"Kryptonian!"
His body ached as if it were about to fall apart.
But his emotions were ignited; he was furious!
In all these years, except for the humiliation he suffered thousands of years ago as a child on Earth from those Planet Gods,
he had never been so humiliated.
The humiliation Earth gave him, he had already repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
This Kryptonian before him must also pay the price now!
Darkseid unsteadily clenched his fists, floating in the air; he was getting serious.
In his rage, he glared at Leon, while also pondering a countermeasure.
The opponent's strength was clearly greater than that of Superman on Earth.
Such a heavy punch just now.
Even he would be severely injured after taking a few more punches...
No, he was already severely injured.
His body, feeling like it was about to fall apart, told him that the Kryptonian opposite him possessed unimaginable strength.
This damned Kryptonian!
Darkseid would never fail!
"Face my wrath, Kryptonian!"
Darkseid released the Omega Beams again.
Leon waited calmly.
The moment the Beams reached him, Leon prepared to repeat his old trick, once again winning with extreme speed.
But just as he began to move,
a high-density information cluster, impossible to describe in words,
appeared in a materialized form.
It appeared in Darkseid's palm.
Those information radiated pure light.
Within the light, Mobius ring-like light circles intertwined and floated up and down.
That was the anti-life equation!
The moment the anti-life equation appeared,
it was as if a celestial river full of Universal mysteries suddenly poured into Leon's consciousness.
The Water in that celestial river was composed of characters that interpreted the essence of spirit.
The characters pressed down on Leon's spirit like towering mountains.
Leon felt his soul contract, and a pain like being torn apart by force surged in like a tide.
His body, which was just about to move, suddenly froze.
Then, he lost all strength and plummeted towards the magma.
It was like a flying swift having its wings severed by a passing propeller.
This was the control from the anti-life equation, a supreme power of the DC Universe.
Even Leon...
"I think you can put more force into it!! Darkseid!"
The second before Leon plunged into the magma, he surprisingly flipped his body 180 degrees and rushed back into the sky.
He gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging green, like a Super Saiyan gathering all his strength to transform.
But of course, he wasn't preparing to transform; he was resisting the control of the anti-life equation.
"This level of mental attack is only equivalent to over a thousand steps on the Inheritance Ladder; it's nothing, it's nothing!"
"Give me more force, Darkseid!!"
From the Starry Sky World's God-King Inheritance within the Space-Time Fortress,
there was a 10,000-step inheritance staircase.
Each step of these stairs would emit a corresponding willpower Impact.
Currently, Leon had reached the 2,700th step.
This corresponded to the willpower level of a Marquis-level Immortal in the Starry Sky World.
He was only 300 steps away from becoming a King-level Immortal.
The willpower at this level, if materialized with a Green Lantern Ring, would be comparable in magnitude to a star.
Darkseid, using an incomplete anti-life equation, truly couldn't control Leon.
He could only impose a debilitating headache as a negative status effect during battle.
Darkseid also didn't expect Leon to be able to resist his control.
He was already surprised when a mentally broken Superman could slightly resist when being controlled.
Now, a Kryptonian appeared and directly resisted it.
Is this reasonable?
Darkseid suddenly felt that this World was a bit crazy.
But fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
This Kryptonian could resist the Equation's control.
But could he resist the control and dodge the Omega Beams at the same time?
Darkseid clenched his fists, ready to kill Leon the moment he was hit by the Beams.
Chapter 364 The Death Knell
But would Leon have forgotten that two Omega Beams were still chasing him?
He had already speculated thousands of possible reactions from Darkseid from the very beginning.
He even considered the scenario where Darkseid would turn and run upon meeting him.
Facing the jeep used by Bizarro to chase Leo, and the persistent Omega Beams.
He released the power of the World, and his Dormammu Armor quickly raised its strongest defense.
As long as the attack does not exceed a stellar system level.
All damage will be reduced to one ten-thousandth by the Dormammu Armor!
This set of Armor was what made Dormammu scream and sign an unequal treaty back then.
It's not impossible to use it to block the famous Omega Beams today!
Leon quickly adapted to fighting while under a mental attack.
This time, he was ready to try taking a direct hit from an Omega Beam.
If this thing could really turn him and his Armor into ashes instantly.
Then he would reshape a body and directly go embrace Darkseid to self-destruct.
A piercing pain constantly came from his soul.
Leon's face was taut.
With a fearless spirit of 'if one of me dies, thousands more will rise'.
He faced the Omega Beams coming directly towards him.
But just as the crimson rays approached.
Diana, with a sky full of thunder, appeared in front of Leon.
She crossed her hands in front of her chest, and her clear shout shook people's minds.
Dark gold gauntlets were held in front of her, directly intercepting the Omega Beams.
"Hey... Ha!!"
Diana let out a roar of pain, being heavily pushed into Leon's arms by the rays.
That's right, Wonder Woman's gauntlets are called the Bracelets of Submission.
They possess the attributes of indestructibility and damage reflection.
They can also withstand Omega Beams!
Leon looked at Diana in his arms, her brows furrowed, her teeth clenched, but absolutely not evading.
It was as if Wonder Woman's exclusive BGM suddenly played in his ears.
Oh no, he was rescued by a hero this time!
Not only was Diana saving him, the 'beauty'.
Kara also followed closely behind!
Kara, in a sapphire blue Shazam battle suit, was also rushing towards Darkseid.
She descended from the sky.
Her slender body carried the immense momentum of a mountain descending from the sky.
She fiercely kicked Darkseid's head.
The Omega Beams immediately extinguished.
Diana gasped and shook her arms, then quickly turned and cupped Leon's head with both hands.
"Are you okay, Leon? You look terrible!"
"I'm fine, just resisting the control of the anti-life equation, Diana, leave this to me, you take Kara and leave, don't get controlled!"
This was the first time in a battle that someone stood in front of Leon and asked if he was okay.
How to put it, it felt like he was finally getting to be the one supported.
But the battle with Darkseid was extremely risky.
Leon didn't want the two women to be controlled by Darkseid as soon as he turned around.
He pushed Diana's hands away.
He clenched his fist and swung his arm.
Instantly, he appeared in front of Darkseid, who was about to unleash Omega Beams on Kara.
Darkseid's body was tall, one or two heads taller than Leon.
With a heavy uppercut from Leon.
Darkseid, along with the crimson rays he had just released, fell into the lava.
Large areas of lava were instantly evaporated by the Omega Beams, and the red rays shot straight into the sky.
Leon threw Kara towards Diana, then pressed his advantage and plunged into the lava.
Darkseid's strength was considerably stronger than Superman's.
But only considerably stronger.
After Leon adapted to the mental shock of the anti-life equation, he could already suppress Darkseidwith speed and strength.
Want to release Omega Beams?
Then I'll hold your head in the lava and let you shoot fiercely.
Want to resist with brute force?
Can you withstand this punch, heavier than Earth itself?
Omega Beams occasionally pierced through the lava, illuminating the sky.
Underneath Apokolips's crust, tremors occasionally emanated as if the World was about to fall apart.
Their entanglement beneath the lava had already shaken the continental shelf.
At this moment, Batman's battle ended.
He controlled his Armor and flew from afar, throwing DeSaad's head into the lava.
"How's the situation? Leon's Heat Vision doesn't seem to be a match for Darkseid?"
Splash, splash!
A massive object moved through the lava and also came next to everyone.
It was a thousand-meter-tall black giant.
Tony's upper body emerged from the giant's chest.
Behind the giant, tens of thousands of meter-thick mycelial threads continued to devour Parademons.
"Where's Leon? I've finished recharging and came back to support him!"
Having absorbed hundreds of thousands of Parademons with the Fungus God Armor.
Tony felt terrifyingly strong now.
Diana pointed at the lava: "He's down there. Leon is worried that we'll be controlled by the equation, so he refused our participation."
"So he wasn't controlled by the anti-life equation?" Batman asked in a deep voice.
"He endured it. The incomplete equation in Darkseid's hands can't control his mind yet."
Diana showed a proud smile, with a heroic spirit that her beloved was the true strong one.
Tony tilted his head in thought.
He also had no good way to counter the anti-life equation.
Leon said to resist with willpower.
But he wasn't a ascetic like Leon, who could send himself into the Universe to sunbathe for half a year and still meditate on the rooftop every day.
His willpower was probably not up to par.
It was better not to cause trouble here.
Tony was about to turn around and continue to wreak havoc on the endless Parademons.
Just then.
The lava below them suddenly began to rumble and shake.
A large number of bubbles frantically churned, becoming denser and denser.
The center of the lava began to converge and rise, as if it was about to erupt.
As the tremors grew stronger.
Finally, a figure burst through the lava, flying backward.
It was Darkseid!
Darkseid was extremely disheveled at this moment.
His entire body was covered in fine bloodstains and cracks.
Around his eyes were huge ravines, as if they had been torn open by immense force.
He looked down with bloodshot eyes.
Leon followed closely, bursting out of the lava, his right hand held flat.
In the palm of his right hand was a ball of White light.
"Did Leon snatch the anti-life equation?" Tony was stunned.
Then he immediately showed a mischievous smile and began to rub his hands together.
"That's really good news."
Darkseid struggled to stabilize himself in the air, a large amount of blood continuously flowing down his body.
Just as he was about to figure out a way to counterattack.
Suddenly, a Shadow enveloped him.
"What?"
Darkseid looked up.
A giant fist descended from the sky!
Bang!
Darkseid was heavily struck down by a punch from the Fungus God Armor.
Not only Tony noticed what was in Leon's hand.
The others also noticed.
Diana appeared in the path of Darkseid's fall.
She crossed her arms, and her divine power erupted!
A huge shock of divine power impacted Darkseid's wounds.
He roared as he flew backward.
Greeting him was Kara.
Kara delivered a heavy kick to Darkseid's back.
And so, Darkseid broke the sound barrier and fell again.
"Enough!! You…" Darkseid's eyes were bloodshot.
However, Batman controlled his Armor and followed closely behind.
"It's time to pay for your slaughter, Darkseid."
Wayne's hoarse voice sounded like a death knell.
Chapter 365 A private conversation between me and Darkseid
Batman held Darkseid's head from behind him.
The yellow Kryptonite core in the armor's chest rapidly gathered energy like a scorching furnace.
That was a pseudo-Star Destroyer Cannon that Tony had modified using Starry Sky World technology.
Even if it couldn't destroy a Planet after charging, it was enough to penetrate the surface, destroy the core, and change the magnetic field of the entire Planet.
Jarvis had told Batman about the danger of this weapon.
Originally, it was to prevent Batman from accidentally activating this super weapon.
But now, Batman had actively turned it on.
He even started charging it in advance amidst Jarvis's warnings.
"Darkseid, this is the wrath of humanity."
Batman whispered in Darkseid's ear.
At this moment, he suddenly transformed back into the Shadow that roamed Gotham at night.
He used to whisper in the ears of Penguin or Joker when he broke their hand bones, telling them it was Gotham's wrath.
And now, it was the wrath of humanity.
The pseudo-Star Destroyer Cannon fired!
The distance between the two was Zero.
An orange-yellow energy beam erupted from Darkseid's back.
But Batman was also within the range of the damage.
The two fell from the sky together.
Darkseid let out a painful and furious roar.
Batman made no movement, as if he had become an accessory on Darkseid's body.
But the armor on him was rapidly melting.
It wasn't hard to imagine that he, inside the armor, was also enduring intense pain.
"Shit, my Anti-Superman Armor!" Tony exclaimed from inside the Fungus God Armor, feeling heartbroken over his newly made armor.
Then he couldn't help but be startled by Batman's madness.
"This Bat is a lunatic! Does he want to die together?!" Tony asked in disbelief.
Leon appeared beside Tony: "No, this is the real Batman now."
Batman was actually crazy long ago.
He went crazy when his parents died, and he went crazy again when Robin died.
The day Darkseid transformed all Earthlings into Parademons...
The day Flash sacrificed himself...
Batman had always been hovering on the edge of madness.
He used his principles and his sanity to bind himself just one step away from the abyss.
He always seemed rational, always confident.
But now that he could take revenge, Earth no longer needed him to worry about it.
Then all his madness began to unleash.
If Leon and his group weren't also on Apokolips, Batman's original plan was actually to drag the entire Planet Apokolips into the abyss and utterly shatter it.
And not only was Batman crazy, the others in the Bat-team were also lunatics.
On the other side, Doctor Fate, Mera, Deathstroke, and others, who were sniping Parademons, had completely Jokerized.
They all laughed as they swung their blades, laughing as they cut off the heads of Parademons.
Joker even held up a grotesque severed head, drank the Parademon's blood, gargled it around his mouth, then spat it out, cursing that it was much worse than Batman's.
As the last seven living people on Earth who maintained their own thoughts, what they wanted to do at this moment was to repay all the pain and blood on Apokolips.
Batman falling with Darkseid was an attempt to die together.
But he still underestimated Darkseid's tenacious vitality.
Leon's fists, as heavy as Earth, couldn't kill Darkseid.
How could the pseudo-Star Destroyer Cannon built by Tony cause his Death?
It was just that Leon had deliberately suppressed the aftermath of the battle with his biological field before.
That was why Batman had misjudged Darkseid.
Before Batman fell into the magma, Leon appeared and saved him.
When the armor was pulled from Darkseid's back, its front was almost completely melted.
Batman's face was also disfigured, with carbonized bones exposed in the charred flesh of his chest.
"You don't have to do this." Leon fed Batman some zeus spring water.
Batman recovered and shook his head: "His body is stronger than I imagined. To kill him, I'm afraid I'll have to destroy Apokolips along with him."
"I have a way now," he said in a deep voice.
"While fighting DeSaad, I cooperated with Jarvis to invade Apokolips's armory."
"They have a weapon called Hell Spores. I cracked the activation code and can use those weapons to destroy Apokolips."
"Leon, take your companions and leave. We'll handle things here."
Leon raised his eyebrows in surprise: "In such a short time, you've even taken care of their armory?"
Tony also asked Jarvis in surprise: "Is what this Bat says true?"
"Yes, sir. Batman suggested a few ideas for me to try to crack, and it succeeded."
..."Alright, he's got some skills, but I could do it too if it were me."
"Of course, sir. However, there's one more thing: while Batman was operating the armor, he also implanted dozens of monitoring and counter-viruses into me. They have now been completely cleaned up."
Tony was still in the Fungus God Armor's chest.
Everyone could hear his communication with Jarvis.
Hearing Jarvis's accusation, everyone's gaze shifted to Batman.
"Dozens?" Kara's calm face showed surprise. "That's too exaggerated. Is this the dark side of humanity?"
"No, this is just making some necessary preparations."
Even though his act of backstabbing his teammates was publicly exposed, Batman remained unfazed.
The damaged Anti-Superman Armor had been put away by Tony.
Because there was magma below, Batman could only temporarily hang onto Leon's hand.
As for Darkseid, this guy floated on the magma, his face grim when he heard Batman mention the Hell Spores.
"You cannot kill me, Earthling. Even destroying Apokolips is useless. I will not die."
Darkseid was covered in injuries.
Even after being ganged up on by Leon and the others just now, his face still bore the mark of invincibility, his terrifying countenance seemingly born as the embodiment of fear.
In fact, he should have been invincible.
If it weren't for Leon, a person from another Universe, interfering, Darkseid was the upper limit of individual combat power in the DCEU Universe.
"Whatever other means you have, feel free to use them."
Darkseid's eyes once again glowed red.
"After your Death, I will engrave your bravery on your gravestones."
His arrogant and haughty words stirred the emotions of everyone present.
But Darkseid wasn't just talking tough.
His dominance flowed from his very bones.
He was the tyrant of Apokolips, the King of the New Gods.
He wanted to trample the entire Universe underfoot, and billions of beings could only kneel before him.
Batman narrowed his eyes, seriously considering whether detonating the entire armory of Apokolipscould take down Darkseid.
At this moment, Leon looked down and asked him: "Bruce, have you obtained all the information you wanted to gather?"
Batman was stunned for a moment: "Enough."
"That's good."
Leon suddenly let go.
Batman began to free-fall towards the magma.
He didn't panic, but rather looked up with confusion.
High in the sky, Leon, dressed in black battle attire, snapped his fingers.
And so, a portal appeared beside everyone, swallowing them.
"You guys go back first. I'll have a word with Darkseid alone and then follow."
Chapter 366: Run, Xiaoke, run!
On the surface of Apokolips, magma roiled.
Darkseid slowly floated up, his crimson eyes unblinking.
"Do you want to stay behind and cover the retreat, or do you want to beg me to spare Earth?"
"Neither."
Leon's gaze was calm, or rather, his mind was as still as Water.
He looked at the face not far away, which seemed to be piled up with carbon ash and then splashed with sulfur.
He slowly clenched his right fist.
The 2700x power amplification naturally operated, adding to his body, which had already reached 1086x genes.
When he fought Dormammu back then,
Leon only had 200x genes, was an early-stage World Lord, and had 1300x power amplification.
To compare with quantified data,
His physical strength had become nearly five thousand times stronger than it was back then.
If he were to face Dormammu, who had left the Dark Dimension, again,
Even if Leon only used the full power of a physical punch at this moment,
It would be enough to make Dormammu's face droop, and he would begin to sign an unequal treaty.
"Neither? So you only want to die!"
Darkseid suddenly unleashed his Omega Beams, simultaneously spreading his arms.
Following his movements,
The Apokolips armory opened.
Countless Hell Spores aimed at Leon, beginning their countdown.
He wanted to use Apokolips as Leon's burial ground!
Compared to Batman, Darkseid's brutality was no less!
Leon clenched his fist and looked at Darkseid, then suddenly let out a laugh.
His figure suddenly appeared behind Darkseid.
"Your physical strength reminds me of Dormammu; you are both equally resilient."
"If I could, I'd really like to fight you a few more times, but I'm sorry, you're too dangerous, Darkseid."
Leon threw a punch behind Darkseid.
The punch was light, like a slow-spinning feather falling.
But the moment it struck Darkseid,
The entire World seemed to lose its luster.
In Darkseid's ears, all sounds faded away, and everything he saw began to lose color.
His Omega Beams stopped.
He tried to turn his head but suddenly found his consciousness drifting away.
Boom!
The moment the sound returned,
Darkseid saw a terrifying Impact wave spreading out from himself.
Wherever the Impact wave reached, everything turned into dust.
The massive Apokolips began to rapidly shatter and crack from a single point.
The continental shelf and core split apart while simultaneously pulverizing.
Finally, the entire Planet turned into dust in the Universe.
Darkseid's last image in his eyes remained on the boundless Dark Universe.
Against the Universal background, a pitch-Black battle suit appeared before him, with a Black cape fluttering.
"Goodbye, Darkseid. Perhaps there really will be a chance to meet your true body again in the future."
Darkseid's consciousness completely fell silent.
His body was also annihilated.
Leon opened a portal and returned to Earth.
...…
"So, Darkseid is really dead?"
"Dead, turned to ash, the same color as his skin."
"That's truly a perfect ending!"
"Everyone, honestly, if Earth weren't empty right now, I'd truly feel this is the best moment!"
"Leon, thank you, thank you!"
"Amazing! Leon, New Superman, this is truly amazing! I, I don't know how to thank you. If I had known you before Arthur, I would have fallen in love with you!"
"Oh, my dear little fish-man, that should be my line. Big guy, now I think I like you more than Batman."
The Batman squad members surrounded Leon, crying and laughing.
After teasing Leon, Joker sat on a large rock on the sand dune, looking up at the Moon.
Everyone else was going crazy, but at this moment, Joker suddenly became normal.
"So, next, is Lil' Krypto going to travel through time?" Atom asked.
Cyborg, who was lying on the sand, grinning foolishly, suddenly sat up.
"Right! And we must ensure the accuracy of every piece of information transmitted to the past. There can be no accidents this time."
Upon hearing this, Deathstroke, who had taken off his helmet and was wiggling his butt, and Doctor Fate also became serious.
Doctor Fate was already old, but experiencing such intense emotions in a short period didn't cause any adverse reactions.
"I believe one is to ensure Louise's safety, and the other is to prevent Lex Luthor's plan in advance," Dr.said.
Deathstroke nodded: "I participated in Luthor's plan back then, I can provide details."
To dismantle the Justice League, Luthor invited several super villains corresponding to the League members to form a villain alliance.
Deathstroke was the first to be invited by Luthor, and his goal was to kill Batman.
However, Batman, the only member of the Justice League without superpowers,
Was the hardest one to kill.
Until Luthor was killed by Superman, and Earth was controlled by Darkseid,
Batman was still alive and kicking.
And Deathstroke also turned over a new leaf and joined the Batman squad.
"No, no!" Atom refuted.
"When traveling to the past, you definitely have to choose the most important information to transmit. Luthor's plan can be left to the rebooted Batman to investigate."
Atom's words caused others to ponder.
They all began to think about what other information, besides Louise and Luthor's issues, must be transmitted.
"You're all wrong."
Batman interrupted everyone's thoughts at this moment.
He raised his right hand, a data disc clamped between his fingers.
"This future of ours no longer needs to exist. It's better to completely change the past and restart everything."
"Instead of transmitting information through words, it's better to directly store all information as data."
Cyborg frowned: "If the disc travels to the past, the information inside will probably be wiped clean, because at that time, this disc hadn't been used, or even produced yet."
"Don't worry, this data disc will not be affected."
Batman pointed at Tony, "Because it comes from another World."
Everyone suddenly realized and came forward, beginning to input the information they wanted to transmit to the past into the data disc.
Finally, Batman handed the data disc to Lil' Krypto.
"Please take this back. To be safe, give it to Barry and have him keep it in the Speed Force."
Lil' Krypto stood with his hands behind his back, tilting his head, and gently nodded.
Leon had already brought Tony and Diana back into his inner World.
After the Batman squad members finished their instructions,
He looked around: "Are you all sure you don't want to hide from the reboot with me?"
"No need." Batman shook his head, "Our hatred has ended, and what needed to be done has been completed. The rebooted us will handle everything."
"Alright… but I still have one more thing."
Leon said, "I only have a part of the anti-life equation in my hand, so…"
"Go ahead and do it." Batman interrupted Leon, "Since the Universe is destined to restart, the fate of this Earth doesn't matter."
Leon nodded: "I understand. Goodbye, everyone."
"See you in the new World after the reboot." Batman's lips curved into a smile, carrying both nobility and a hint of roguishness.
Leon and his Black Light Clone flew out of Earth.
He first used World power to drain the Earth's core, then disassembled the shattered surface.
Mysterious patterns and symbols continuously appeared on the boundless surface.
That was the relatively complete anti-life equation carved into Earth's surface.
Leon took the surface fragments into his inner World.
The Black Light Clone took one last look at the Batman squad waiting for the reboot on the Earth's remains.
This time, Old Wizard Shazam didn't follow.
He saw Leon kill Darkseid.
He learned that Black Adam, who was being brainwashed on Apokolips, was also crushed by Leon along with Apokolips.
He was already very satisfied.
He was extremely satisfied with Leon, this temporarily found successor.
"Run! Lil' Krypto, run!" The Old Wizard, mixed in with the Batman squad, shouted along with the others.
The Black Light Clone shook his head, entered the Speed Force, and began to run towards the upstream of time.
Chapter 367 Let's talk about it next time
Central City Courthouse.
"We can see that at the time the victim was stabbed to death, the defendant was still shopping at a supermarket far away. He has a solid alibi."
The defense lawyer played a video on the screen.
In the video, a man wearing a baseball cap obscured his face, picking out items behind a shelf.
At one point, he seemed to hear someone calling and looked up.
The surveillance equipment captured his clear face, which was Barry Allen's father.
Sufficient and strong evidence completely cleared Barry's father of suspicion.
When the judge forcefully struck the gavel.
The huge stone in Barry's heart finally fell.
He excitedly reached out and tightly clasped hands with his father in the defendant's box.
After so many twists and turns.
Everything was finally over.
Leon warned him not to change the position of the ketchup on the shelf.
Barry kept it in mind.
But he still couldn't resist the urge to help his father get acquitted.
Barry held onto a sliver of hope.
When his father was looking down, picking out ketchup.
He hid behind the shelf and shouted his father's name, successfully making his father look up and expose his facial features to the surveillance.
He felt he had only made a trivial change.
This was just to keep his father out of jail, and it wouldn't have a significant impact on the World.
It shouldn't lead to a bad future... it definitely won't.
Barry returned to his original time with a heavy heart.
As soon as he returned, he appeared in the courtroom and heard that his father's verdict had been successfully overturned.
So good, so good!
To see a peaceful World again, to see living humans again.
So good.
And his father's verdict was also successfully overturned, they would soon be reunited.
Too good!
Barry's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He had personally corrected the outcome of his previous attempt to save his mother.
He had lost his mother again.
But the World would no longer be invaded by Darkseid.
Everything seemed to be returning to normal.
Leaving the courthouse.
Facing the surrounding reporters.
Barry smiled subtly, explaining to them that the supermarket's surveillance records documented everything, clearing his father of suspicion.
In the original timeline.
This case could be retried because Batman used the influence of Wayne Enterprises to help.
And Barry traveled back in time.
It was also because in the original supermarket surveillance, his father didn't look up, and there were no facial features in the video, so the alibi was insufficient, and the verdict couldn't be overturned.
Now, besides his father's successful acquittal.
Everything in the World had returned to its original state.
Looking at the bustling street.
Barry felt a sense of happiness.
He felt that today's sunlight was exceptionally warm, making his smile much gentler.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a Lamborghini approaching and stopping by the roadside.
The reporters who were interviewing him immediately abandoned him and swarmed towards it.
That was Batman's, no, Bruce Wayne's car.
The driver's door opened, and expensive custom leather boots stepped out.
Bruce, with a polite smile, pushed past the reporters and walked towards Barry.
"Congratulations, Barry, I knew your father would definitely be acquitted."
Bruce wanted to pat Barry's arm.
But Barry hugged Bruce Wayne tightly.
"Of course, of course!" Barry said repeatedly.
This familiar yet unfamiliar face, he hadn't seen it for many years.
The face he had seen in the past few years was that of another Batman after the World rebooted.
"I can understand your feelings, but our hug is a bit too long," Bruce whispered.
"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I, I'm a bit excited, Bruce, it's unbelievable, I'm so happy to see your face again!"
"Is that so? But the night before last, we just met downstairs at your apartment," Bruce patted Barry's shoulder.
"Barry, you don't have to thank me too much. If I didn't help, Clark would also come to the court with a press pass to speak for you."
Batman thought Barry was grateful to him, which was why he hugged him for so long and so tightly.
"No, no, no, I'm not thanking, oh no, I'm very grateful... I don't know what to say either."
Barry was incoherent.
He waved his hands aimlessly, trying to collect his thoughts.
Taking a deep breath.
Barry spoke again with a hint of self-reproach.
"Bruce, you were right that night.
I shouldn't casually change the past.
The scars of the past shape who we are now.
But I'm sorry I didn't listen to your advice and did a lot of bad things.
But I swear everything is better now!"
Barry spoke extremely fast, his tongue seeming to be in high-speed mode.
Realizing he was talking too much, he couldn't help but blink rapidly.
"I, I... how about we go get something to eat?"
His tone shifted.
"You said 'next time' that night, so today should be fine?"
Barry invited Batman to a meal.
The night before he changed the past.
He had also invited Batman like this.
At that time, Batman said not this time, maybe another time.
As a result, the World rebooted, and he almost thought that 'next time' would be forever.
Fortunately, everything had returned to normal.
"Of course today is fine, it's still early, maybe we can also call Clark, Diana, and Victor."
Bruce Wayne put his arm around Barry's shoulder like he was taking care of a junior.
"You know they are all very fast too, they can make it to dinner, come on, get in the car."
Barry nodded: "Then where are we going? I know a good Japanese restaurant nearby."
"Japanese restaurant? That term isn't common. The country you're talking about merged into the Red League decades ago, and their cuisines have also merged."
Bruce got back into the driver's seat, glancing sideways at the suddenly stunned Barry.
"What's wrong? Are you trying to say it's actually a Red League cuisine restaurant?"
"No..." Barry shook his head vigorously.
He stammered, asking, "You, you just said, Red League?"
Bruce realized something was wrong from Barry's expression: "Is there a problem?"
Big problem!
Barry felt as if a bomb had suddenly been stuffed into his brain, about to explode.
Wasn't the Red League from the rebooted timeline?
Why, after the second reboot, did the World order not return to its original state?
Was it because he changed his father's fate?
Could it be that the past really couldn't be altered at all?
Barry suddenly felt lightheaded, as if the whole World was spinning.
Even when Batman got out of the car, shaking his shoulders and shouting his name, he remained unresponsive for a long time.
Until a voice woke him up.
"Barry!"
The voice was like a booming bell ringing in an ancient temple, echoing in his mind, very familiar.
"Barry! Come here! Come to the time bowl of the Speed Force!"
Barry suddenly woke up with a start.
He recognized it.
That was Leon's voice!
"Leon? Is that you? Where are you?" Barry looked around frantically.
Batman asked him who Leon was, confused.
But Barry's brain was already short-circuiting, filled with thoughts of 'it's over, it's over, it's over'.
Unfortunately, Leon was nowhere to be seen in the plaza in front of the courthouse.
"Where are you?" Barry asked again.
"Who are you talking to? What did you hear?" Batman also had a serious expression.
Barry then realized that Leon's voice had directly entered his brain.
"time bowl!" Barry realized, "He's in the Speed Force!"
"Sorry, Bruce, I have to go. I'll explain next time... if you still remember."
Barry felt he had to reboot the World again.
He hugged Bruce Wayne tightly again, then released him, entered the Speed Force, and began to run.
Chapter 368: Another Restart! The Final Battle!
Barry quickly surpassed Light Speed, entering the time bowl state.
In this state,
the Speed Force would appear as an inverted bowl, protecting the speedster.
This is the time bowl (a setting exclusive to the movie Universe).
Outside the time bowl, the time of the entire World becomes visualized.
Any point in the past can be freely traversed.
"Blacklight Lyon! Where are you, Blacklight Lyon?"
As soon as Barry appeared inside the time bowl, he started shouting loudly.
He was anxious, wanting to explain the changes in the World to Blacklight Lyon.
But when he looked up, there was no Blacklight Lyon in the time bowl, only a Black and White Hasiki.
The Hasiki looked up at him, its gaze making him feel as if he was being looked down upon.
"Why is there only a dog, where's Blacklight Lyon… Wait, there's a dog in the time bowl!?"
Barry's eyes widened, and he pointed a trembling finger at the Black Light Clone.
"You, you also have Speed Force!?"
The Hasiki said nothing, maintaining its upright stance, and nodded.
Barry felt like his mouth could definitely swallow a bowl right now.
Was this World crazy, or was he crazy?
Even a dog had Speed Force.
Then what was he?
Barry wanted to ask something else.
But the Hasiki threw a data disk at him.
Barry fumbled to catch it, holding it in his arms.
"What is this? Is it for me?"
"Watch it." The Hasiki said in a very magnetic voice.
It sounded a bit like Blacklight Lyon's voice.
Barry didn't have time to dwell on why a Hasiki could talk.
The data disk in his arms suddenly flashed, projecting a holographic image.
This data disk even had its own power source and holographic projection capabilities.
The image was Blacklight Lyon.
"Blacklight Lyon!" Barry became excited.
"Barry, you've caused trouble again!" Blacklight Lyon's projection got straight to the point.
"I learned from Batman that you changed your father's fate."
"Now I'm in the future, sending Lil Krypto back to deliver a message to you."
"Earth has been re-occupied by Darkseid, and everyone has been transformed into Parademons."
"Lil Krypto is going back to restart the Universe."
"Remember to finish watching the information on the data disk before returning to reality."
After Blacklight Lyon finished speaking, the projection disappeared.
"Darkseid still came to Earth!? Wait…"
Barry subconsciously wanted to ask for clarification, but his right hand reached out and grabbed nothing.
Darkseid!
As soon as he heard that name, he remembered the scene of devastation on Earth before the Worldrestarted.
Listening to Blacklight Lyon's account, the future after the restart seemed even worse than what he had experienced before.
"I, I made a mistake again…" Barry's hands trembled.
He swallowed, looking at the Black Light Clone: "What, what has the future become?"
Blacklight Lyon, however, ignored him, merely pointed at the data disk in Barry's arms, then turned and ran towards the future.
"Hey! Wait!"
Barry's shouts couldn't stop the Hasiki's steps.
Finally, he was the only one left in the time bowl.
"Is this data disk filled with information about the future?"
"Is the reason I need to watch it now because the information might be destroyed by time after leaving the Speed Force space?"
Barry was a top student; he was just a bit naive, not foolish.
With a complex expression, he pressed a button.
The data disk immediately projected an initial interface.
On the interface were folders for stored documents and folders for stored videos.
In the video folder were videos recorded by the future Batman team.
Barry clicked on Batman's video, expecting to hear scolding.
But to his surprise, it was gentle advice.
"Barry, when you see this video, the World should have restarted. Remember…" Batman's calm voice echoed.
As the videos played one by one,
Barry's face grew increasingly grim.
In those videos,
there were scenes of all Earthlings in the future being transformed into Parademons.
There were also scenes of Superman patrolling the globe after being controlled.
And terrifying battle scenes on Apokolips.
"Darkseid, Darkseid… How could this happen? No, I must stop him!"
Barry finished watching all the videos and then opened the document files.
The Batman team had recorded the most important information.
Including Lex Luthor's plan, the existence of the anti-life equation, the password to Apokolips's armory…
Barry read all the important information three times over.
Then he closed his eyes and began to memorize it with full concentration.
As time passed, sweat beads began to appear on his forehead, gradually turning into profuse sweating.
The time Barry could stay in the time bowl was limited by his physical endurance.
Only when his stamina was completely depleted, making it difficult even to lift a finger, was Barry forced to leave the time bowl.
The moment he returned to reality,
he uncontrollably fell to the ground.
The last sound he heard was Bruce Wayne's urgent shouts.
"Barry! Barry! Damn it, Alfred, help me notify Superman and Wonder Woman, something big has happened!"
… … … …
When Barry woke up,
he was lying on a luxurious soft bed in Wayne Manor.
"This… is Bruce's Villa. How long have I slept? I need to tell everyone everything quickly!"
Barry, wearing pajamas someone had changed for him, pushed open the door and rushed out, his heart burning with anxiety.
He hadn't walked many steps before he heard the voices of the other Justice League members.
Following the voices, he arrived at the main hall of the Villa.
Under the ten-meter-high ceiling, Superman, Batman, Diana, Aquaman, and Cyborg sat around a conference table.
"Guys! This is great, you're all here. Listen, I have something very, very serious to tell you… Huh?"
Barry's voice died in his throat.
Because the data disk the Hasiki speedster had given him,
was placed in the center of the round table, projecting the plan that the future Batman had devised for him.
And the expressions of his companions gathered around the table were extremely grim.
Superman stood with his arms crossed, his head bowed, wearing glasses, making his expression unreadable.
But red light occasionally flashed on his lenses.
Wonder Woman frowned deeply, and Aquaman also had a gloomy face.
Cyborg was already connected to the global network, searching for some information.
"The information on this data disk actually wasn't destroyed…"
Barry sighed and quietly sat down at the round table.
Since he didn't need to deliver the information, there was nothing for him to do here.
He just needed to wait for Batman or Superman to make a decision, and then he would run errands.
As expected,
when the information on the data disk finished playing,
Batman put away the data disk, his hands resting on the table with a blank expression.
"We have three things to do next."
"First, stop all of Luthor's plans; second, ensure Louise's safety."
At this point, Batman's tone paused.
"Is the third thing to figure out how to defeat Darkseid?" Barry couldn't help but ask.
"No." Batman said in a deep voice, "That's the fourth thing."
"The third is to build a Hellbat Armor."
"Ah?"
… … … …
The experience of Speed Force was even more miraculous than Blacklight Lyon had imagined.
If he wanted to fly beyond Light Speed on his own, he would have to use laws or his Bio-field.
But in the Speed Force realm,
he only needed to slide a few steps, like ice skating, to surpass Light Speed.
It was as if the entire World was pushing him from behind, accelerating him.
When he returned to the time point where he said goodbye to the Batman team in the future,
Blacklight Lyon still felt a lingering sense of enjoyment.
He looked around; the Earth, which had been scorched for thousands of miles by the mother box, had returned to a vibrant World.
"Everything's back to normal, done."
The Black Light Clone clapped his hands and returned to his inner World.
The next second, Blacklight Lyon's main body appeared outside with Diana and the other two.
"Is that… the restart finished?" Tony took a few seconds to adjust after landing.
He was in the middle of repairing his Anti-Superman Armor.
"The restart is over, but the war isn't. Our timing for returning is perfect."
Blacklight Lyon looked towards the Pacific Ocean.
On the island chain in East Asia,
the Red League's Iron Armor troops, Atlantis's underwater forces, and Paradise Island's Amazonwarriors were all assembled.
The leaders of the three factions and the Justice League gathered together.
Superman was in his jet-black Superman suit, and Batman was wearing his murderous battle armor.
This was clearly preparation for the great final battle.
Chapter 369 Justice League's Apokolips War
Lyon led Tony and the two others to the sky above the first island chain in East Asia.
Under the cover of the Bio-field,
no one noticed four extra figures above their heads.
"Is that Batman? Don't his suits usually show his chin? How come this armor is so completely covered, and it looks a bit familiar."
Tony scrutinized Batman, who was making pre-war deployments on the coastline.
It was clear that Batman was the main commander of this war.
Jarvis spoke, "Sir, I found it in the Justice League's database. That's their Hellbat Armor, which they forged not long ago."
As an artificial intelligence,
Jarvis has strong initiative.
As soon as he returned to Earth after its restart,
he connected to the network and hacked into the Justice League's database.
In terms of networking,
even Cyborg and Batman combined
were a bit inferior to Jarvis.
"Hellbat Armor? Sounds a bit familiar…" Tony mused.
Jarvis quickly answered, "This armor is very famous in the comics, sir."
"It was tempered by Superman in the Sun, Cyborg wove the internal energy pathways, Aquamanforged it under extreme conditions, Flash used… and finally Wonder Woman enchanted it."
"In the comics, Batman wore this armor and single-handedly broke into Apokolips to rescue his son, Damian."
Tony was a bit stunned, "So in this World, did other Superheroes also spend so much time and effort helping him build it?"
"That's right, the Justice League database records the preparations they made to face Darkseid."
Jarvis said, "Superman proactively went into the Sun's interior, improving his strength while also tempering materials for Batman."
"The others did the same; Cyborg upgraded his system, Aquaman trained in extreme environments, Wonder Woman returned to Paradise Island to gather Amazon warriors."
"The members of the Justice League, while preparing for their own battles, also built the Hellbat Armor."
Tony found it absurd, "Then the performance of his armor shouldn't be that good. It was just others helping out, so it definitely can't compare to my Anti-Superman Armor, which I personally built."
"I'm sorry, sir. From the armor test data, the overall performance of the Hellbat Armor is slightly stronger than your Anti-Superman Armor."
"What!?" Tony's tone was shocked and annoyed, with a stubbornness like someone rising from their deathbed.
"It's only been a few minutes, and Batman is stronger than me!?"
He couldn't help but look at Lyon, "Lyon, look at Kal-El. He even helped Batman forge materials in the Sun!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Lyon's mouth twitched. "Am I your universal treasure pouch?"
"Look at Kal-El, look at Wonder Woman." Tony kept repeating.
Jarvis interjected, "Sir, I must remind you that the Anti-Superman Armor was something Young Master Lyon brought you to learn from another World."
Lyon gave a thumbs up, "Jarvis, well said!"
Now Jarvis was skilled at needling Tony.
Tony was choked.
"I want to see how the Hellbat Armor is stronger than my armor. Data isn't impossible to be wrong." Tony was as stubborn as ever.
"Aren't we going down yet?" he asked again.
Lyon shook his head, "I don't plan to intervene in their decisive battle this time."
"Why? We could reduce a lot of casualties if we joined." Tony was a bit confused.
"It's what you said before, Tony. This isn't our war. We don't need to intervene."
Lyon looked down.
The armies arrayed on the coastline were reflected in his eyes.
He continued to explain, "And Batman wouldn't want us to intervene either."
"This is their hatred, their war. Earth will be reborn in the war with Apokolips."
"But there's also the most important point: this time can be said to be Batman's challenge to Darkseid."
A smile appeared on Lyon's lips, "Have you ever seen Batman lose a challenge in the comics?"
Tony shook his head, "He's never lost a duel, but this is a war between two Planets, not a duel. It's hard to say."
"Then you can choose the right moment to help. I'm not stopping you." Lyon tapped Tony's chest plate.
Then he looked to the other side.
"Diana, Kara, same for you. Kal-El and the Amazon army are down there. Go if you want to help."
Kara looked down at Superman, shaking her head as if she wasn't too concerned.
"Kal doesn't need me to protect him. He's very strong, not the baby he was when he was first put into the spaceship."
Though she said that,
Kara was actually very concerned about her cousin.
She used her super vision and super hearing.
Watching Superman and Louise kiss before the battle, listening to them say sappy sweet nothings.
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her calm face.
Superman was, after all, her last relative in this Universe.
To see him grow up healthy on Earth, become a hero, and find a lover,
Kara couldn't help but feel happy for her cousin, and the obsession in her heart gradually faded.
Diana nodded, "If they are at a disadvantage, I will step in."
"I didn't expect Paradise Island to truly exist in the restarted World." She sighed again.
"This is a truly magical feeling. The Wonder Woman down there is me after the restart, but we don't look the same."
"It's a good thing everyone followed you, Lyon, and left back then, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face everyone who had changed their appearance."
Lyon teased, "So now you all have to follow me and leave, to my Universe."
"There's nothing bad about that." Diana said with a smile.
"I've already learned about human society here, and I can continue to see new things in another World."
As the few talked,
the army below was already ready.
Cyborg used a mother box to open a Boom Tube.
This time, the channel was one-way, only allowing travel from Earth to Apokolips.
Clearly, Cyborg had modified the way the mother box program operated.
The army on the coastline passed through the Boom Tube in sequence.
Everyone silently gripped their weapons.
Even the Superheroes of the Justice League only exchanged glances before entering the channel.
This war was a Planet-wide war.
It was the invaded Earth's resistance against aggression.
They all carried a determination to die.
Lyon and the three others silently blended into the army, arriving at Apokolips together through the Boom Tube.
On Apokolips, where the sky was always blood-red,
a brutal war had already begun.
The moment the Earth forces landed, the enormous commotion of the Boom Tube attracted a large number of Parademons.
The three-way allied forces from Earth and the Parademons began to engage in battle on the Planet's surface.
Overwhelming waves of steel armor clashed with endless armies of Parademons.
Tony couldn't help but grin and say that such a grand scene should have been his.
In the Apokolips temple, Darkseid waited on his throne for the Earthlings who dared to challenge his authority.
Batman and his group split into two paths.
Batman and Cyborg headed to the Apokolips armory.
The rest went straight for Darkseid.
Among these individuals, in addition to the veteran Justice League members,
there were also Black Adam, Shazam, Doctor Fate, Green Lantern… whom Batman had sought out based on future intelligence.
This was a war where the enemy's information was almost completely transparent.
The rhythm of the war, from the very beginning, was entirely in Batman's control.
"Holy cow, these Justice League guys don't even shout slogans when they start a war." Tony grumbled in the air.
"Do you want Batman to shout 'Justice League, assemble!'? That's Captain's persona, not Batman's." Lyon said.
Chapter 370 Saving Ben Batman Part 2
The rest of the matter was simple.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and a host of other Superheroes engaged Darkseid in a chaotic battle.
Darkseid started with his Omega Beams.
The persistent Omega Beams pursued Superman and Flash, who were the fastest.
Both of them were well-prepared for this.
They led the beams, one after the other, towards Granny Goodness and DeSaad.
This resulted in Darkseid personally eliminating his two trusted subordinates.
Enraged, Darkseid let out a furious roar.
His strength was only slightly greater than Superman's after he had just emerged from the Sun.
Without the anti-life equation, only his Omega Beams could pose a threat to Superman.
Thus, Darkseid began to use his Omega Beams frantically.
You run fast? Behold my Omega Beams!
You can use Green Lantern's ring abilities? Still Omega Beams!
magic? Summoning hellish creatures? Shazam's Six Powers? All are Omega Beams!
Darkseid fought against many, not even moving from his spot.
However, his Omega Beams were blocked every time by either Wonder Woman or Superman.
Wonder Woman had her indestructible Bracelets of Submission.
Superman blocked with his Heat Vision and physical body.
They were the only two in the team who could effectively block the Omega Beams.
But even with one possessing a divine artifact and the other special protection,
they suffered severe injuries after repeatedly blocking the Omega Beams.
"Batman, Batman! Are you not ready yet?" Flash Barry pressed one hand to the communicator on his earlobe.
"It's ready, Hell Spores all-out launch countdown sixty seconds! Everyone evacuate!" Batman's command was transmitted to everyone's devices.
"No! Superman and the others are all tied up by Darkseid!" Flash said anxiously.
"I'll stop him!"
Batman, wearing the Hellbat Armor, descended from the sky.
During a lull in Darkseid's furious Omega Beams.
He seized the opportunity, using the Armor's mobility to engage Darkseid in close combat.
Under the amplification of that almost flawless Armor.
Batman seemed to have truly transformed into a Superheroes Bat.
He continuously attacked Darkseid, circling him.
Every move struck a vital point.
Every time, he narrowly dodged Darkseid's fists aimed at him.
While Darkseid was being held back.
Everyone else retreated.
Shazam carried Superman, and Cyborg carried Wonder Woman.
"Batman, hurry! Retreat!" Barry shouted anxiously.
Apokolips's armory was already wide open.
Thousands of Hell Spores were launched simultaneously.
Their target was naturally Darkseid.
But Batman was still entangled in combat.
If he relaxed even slightly, Darkseid might release his Omega Beams again.
"I have another way out, leave here, Barry!" Batman said with his limited spare capacity.
"But..."
"Go!"
Barry gritted his teeth, looking back every few steps, and finally ran out of Darkseid's palace.
With everyone gone, Batman smiled.
In the data disk, his future self had left some information that only he could discover.
That information was a quote from Joker...
Joker was right, he always sacrificed others.
If he had sacrificed himself to save Louise before the World reset, perhaps the World wouldn't have reached the point of needing a reset.
So this time, he wouldn't hesitate again.
Now it was finally time to sacrifice himself.
The sky full of Hell Spores had already descended.
Barry realized something was wrong and activated the Speed Force to run back.
Darkseid also realized something was wrong, allowing Batman to attack, and unleashed his Omega Beams directly at the fleeing crowd.
At this moment, Batman roared into the communication channel: "Cyborg, open a Boom Tube!"
At the same time, he lunged towards the Omega Beams, preparing to block them with his body.
A Boom Tube opened in front of Darkseid's throne.
The Impact of the Hell Spores, powerful enough to destroy the surface, would descend here, sending Darkseid into the Boom Tube.
On the other side of the tunnel.
It was the location of a black hole precisely calculated by Batman and Cyborg.
And Batman himself—
In his calculations.
He would be the only Superheroes to sacrifice himself in this war.
Just before the Omega Beams struck him.
Batman suddenly remembered his conversation with Alfred before leaving.
["Are you sure you have to do this, Master Wayne?"
"I'm sure, this might be the most meaningful thing I've ever done in my life, Alfred."
"But you said the same thing last time when you went to duel Master Kent."
"I was wrong that time, let's make up for it this time."]
Batman looked at the approaching Omega Beams, gave a cool smile, and closed his eyes.
He knew that thing would vaporize him within a second.
He wouldn't even feel pain.
This was a good way to die, saving the cremation process.
Batman calmly embraced Death.
Just then, the light in front of him dimmed.
"Every time we meet, I'm saving you, it's quite a headache, Batman."
Batman opened his eyes.
Another Wonder Woman, in a golden suit, appeared in front of him, blocking the Omega Beams.
He, meanwhile, was held in the hand of a man in a pitch-black suit.
"Leon?"
"Yes."
Batman still wanted to say something.
Leon suddenly took him away from the palace, with Wonder Woman following closely behind.
Only Darkseid's roar lingered in the palace.
"Time to go," Leon said.
The Earth forces outside had all been sent back to Earth by Cyborg using the mother box.
Tony and Kara had also participated in the battle.
Under their intervention, the Earth's casualties did not even exceed a hundred.
Now, the only Earthling remaining on Apokolips were Batman and Barry.
Leon casually picked up Barry, who was running towards Darkseid's palace.
And together with Diana, they rushed into the Boom Tube returning to Earth.
The next moment, countless Hell Spores exploded in front of Darkseid.
The terrifying Impact directly sent Darkseid into the tunnel connected to the black hole.
The aftermath continued to spread, annihilating all Parademons.
This was Batman's plan.
Even under the siege of many Superheroes, Darkseid remained unmoving.
So he had to sacrifice himself to hold Darkseid back.
Then, he would use the Hell Spores to send this terrifying enemy into the black hole.
Earth.
First Island Chain coast.
Everyone waited anxiously.
After Batman appeared, he slowly nodded to the tens of thousands of expectant gazes.
"We won, Earth, we won."
After a brief silence, everyone's emotions erupted.
"We really won!"
"We defeated Darkseid!"
"Clark! Clark! I'm here!"
People threw their hats or shoes high into the air.
Cheers boomed amidst the sound of the waves.
This was a battle that decided the fate of the World, and they won!
Someone went to toss Batman high into the air.
Someone went to look for Superman, but Superman had already flown into the sky with Louise.
This was a moment of celebration.
The warriors who had gone to the Apokolips battlefield with the intent of dying, not expecting to return to Earth alive, should also celebrate.
Amidst the revelry by the sea.
Diana sought out the other Wonder Woman, asking about the changes on Paradise Island and her experiences.
Tony stood with his arms crossed, waiting for Batman; he wanted to discuss Armor with him.
Kara, meanwhile, followed Leon.
"Aren't you going to find your cousin?" Leon winked at Kara.
"He has his Louise Lane." Kara's eyelashes glinted golden in the Sunlight.
"Then if you want to find him, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow." Leon stepped on a crab by the sea, burying it in the mud.
"I know, they're going to perform the Earth's reproduction ritual, just like Karl's father and mother." Karanodded.
"You even know that?" Leon was a little surprised.
Kara tilted her head and looked at Leon: "Hmm, I also saw you and Diana doing that ritual, so... I want to try it too."
Her golden hair reflected the Sunlight, dazzlingly, and her usually indifferent cheeks showed shyness, also dazzlingly.
Leon looked at Kara's rosy cheeks and lowered his head.
"I'll take you to my World."
