Let me show you a new way Chapter 087

In the vast and mysterious universe, there was a planet. Enormous, boundless, and dark.

On this planet, energy continuously erupted, with crimson pillars of fire, barren lands, and alien-like creatures. ①

This planet was like a legendary hell.

At this moment, all life forms on this planet obeyed the command of one individual, gathering before him.

Darkseid… ②

The overwhelming army of Parademons quietly hovered in the air, awaiting their monarch’s instructions.

His rock-hard face showed no emotion as he vanished into a white portal with a violent sound. ③

Subsequently, the Parademon army, which covered the entire sky, also disappeared.

Advance…

Earth…

——————————

Outside Earth’s orbit, a colossal structure, a fusion of steel and crystal, formed a unique aesthetic. ④

The Watchtower…

The main base of the Justice League.

Inside, the Martian Manhunter was quietly checking the equipment.

The Martian Manhunter was the last Martian. As a White Martian, she was exiled to Earth by her own kind for opposing slavery. After years of effort on Earth, she finally found a way to return to Mars, only to find it desolate after a civil war. ⑤

Ultimately, she decided to settle on Earth, her second home, and became a superhero.

“Quick, quick, assemble all members of the Justice League, we have big—trouble!” A man’s voice rang out.

“Good evening, Clark. Calm down, calm down. What happened?” The Martian Manhunter turned around, asking patiently.

Clark was dressed in a soft, white one-piece suit, with his biological father’s crimson S-shaped emblem on his chest.

“No time to explain, quickly gather the League members, we need an emergency meeting,” Clark said at a rapid pace. “And I need to inform the Green Lantern Corps, hoping they have time.”

“The Green Lantern Corps?” The Martian Manhunter’s telepathic abilities began to expand, and League members heard her summons in their minds. “But we already have Oliver?” ⑥

“Yes, yes, Oliver Queen, but he’s just one person, and there are thousands of Green Lanterns across the universe,” Clark said without turning his head, operating at a computer. The crystal console reflected a faint blue light.

“Hello, esteemed Guardians of the Universe, I am Clark Kent, speaking to you on behalf of Earth,” Clark said with a solemn expression. A light screen appeared on the console, showing a large blue-headed being staring back at him. ⑦

—————————————————

Jonathan Kent, one of Earth’s greatest scientists. He showed an interest in science from a young age. Born into an ordinary farming family, he graduated from MIT at a young age, established Kent Industries, and developed it into one of America’s top corporations in just ten years.

His character was also impeccable. His wife had walked with him out of their small town, into college, together founded their company, and entered into marriage.

But he had one problem…

Martha couldn’t have children…

Although this did not affect their marriage, Jonathan could see Martha’s unease and guilt.

Until one day…

On their way back to their hometown, a meteor shower brought them their child.

Clark Kent, an alien, was extraordinarily intelligent from a young age. Under his father’s tutelage, Clark became a scientist and a superhero: Dr. Super.

—————————————————

“So, why did you call us here?” The question came from Green Lantern Oliver Queen. As the heir to Queen Industries, he was stranded on a deserted island in an accident. On the island, he underwent rigorous trials, honed his will, and was eventually chosen by the Green Lantern ring, becoming a member of the Lantern Corps.

Oliver reclined in his chair, a vanilla lollipop in his mouth. His green hood was down, revealing his short blond hair and beard.

Clark looked at everyone present: Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Shazam, Reverse-Flash, and others. Most of the world’s superheroes were gathered here.

Clark frowned, then looked at Martian Manhunter. “Why isn’t Wonder Woman here?”

“I’m not sure. She said she already knew and was trying to find help,” Martian Manhunter also seemed puzzled.

“She knew?” Clark pondered. “That’s not surprising, but… ask for help? Is she going to ask those Greek gods for help?”

Clark thought, temporarily putting the matter aside.

“I need to tell you all some bad news…” he said with a solemn expression and a slow tone.

“Darkseid is heading to Earth…”

“What???”

“Are you sure??”

“Impossible!”

“Who?”

Everyone’s reactions varied. Green Lantern looked surprised; the Green Lantern Corps naturally had data on this dark monarch, and he was well aware of Darkseid’s power.

Shazam, the man who inherited the name of an ancient wizard, had also heard of this name.

And Reverse-Flash, as someone who traveled from the future to the present, naturally knew him, even understanding the course and outcome of the historical battle.

“But… it’s impossible, not at this time…”

Reverse-Flash, is the opposite of the criminal Flash.

The Flash, real name Barry Allen, was an ordinary forensic scientist at the police department. During a family gathering, he was struck by lightning. His wife and parents all died, and he himself was disfigured and in a coma for nine months.

Barry’s mind, however, spent an infinite amount of time trapped in the Speed Force.

When he awoke, Barry Allen was dead, and the super-criminal, The Flash, was born!

Reverse-Flash, on the other hand, was an ordinary scientist from the future. During a time-travel experiment, he was interfered with by the Speed Force, traveled to the 21st century, and connected with The Flash’s Speed Force field, becoming a speedster. He later adopted the name Reverse-Flash and became a superhero.

As someone from the future, he knew many things, including events that had already happened and those that were yet to happen. But to avoid interfering with the normal flow of time, he never told other League members about future events to prevent temporal disruptions, and other members never asked.

But this time, something was wrong…

“It can’t be at this time. Batman is still hostile to the League, Wonder Woman is still aloof from the League, Aquaman Arthur is still missing… even Doomsday hasn’t been created yet… it’s impossible…” Reverse-Flash rapidly recalled history in his mind.

“Has history… been changed…”

—————————————————

Gotham City, always shrouded in clouds and fog…

From a dark building, neurotic laughter could be heard…

Batman glided silently through the house like a shadow…

He opened a large box, inside which was a blonde woman, bound hand and foot, with tape over her mouth. The woman was looking at him with a terrified expression.

“You’re safe, Harleen,⑧ you’re safe.” Batman gently untied her restraints. “Don’t make a sound, I’ll take you out of here.”

But the woman looked behind him in horror and tried to push him away.

With a dull thud, the attacker from behind struck Batman’s back squarely with a hammer, but he didn’t utter a single cry of pain. Instead, he slowly turned around, wearing an expression of helplessness, regret, and pity.

“Why… why do this…”

Batman thought of what he had seen in this building: human heads in the refrigerator, body parts in the sofa, a cozy family home pieced together from many corpses…

Truly… disgusting…

Batman thought, then suddenly flashed, disappearing from the attacker’s sight.

“Come out, come out, why are you destroying my family, why!” The attacker screamed arrogantly. Having suddenly lost her target, she wildly swung the hammer in her hand. She appeared to be just a fragile girl, dressed in a somewhat comical clown costume, with messy black short hair, an exaggerated white painted face, and blood-red lips. ⑨

“Come out, come out!” She shouted until she seemed tired, then focused her attention on the blonde woman, revealing an evil smile.

A short blade suddenly pierced her temple…

The Joker Girl’s body was gently supported by Batman. He closed her eyelids and whispered a few words.

“No more innocent people will be harmed by you. May you rest in peace.”

Batman laid the body down and walked over to Harleen.

“Let’s go, your husband is waiting for you…”

①: Apokolips, appeared in both animated films and the TV series Smallville.

②: Darkseid: The leader of Apokolips, very powerful, essentially a BOSS that requires the entire League to defeat!

③: Boom Tube, a special teleportation technology using Mother Boxes.

④: Kryptonian technology is crystal-based. This Watchtower uses both Earth and Kryptonian technology.

⑤: Martian Girl Megan, appeared in Young Justice, but this version’s experience is basically equivalent to J’onn J’onzz, so she’s more mature.

⑥: Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow from the original world. I combined two “original color” heroes.

⑦: The big-headed blue men, the leaders of the Green Lanterns, their actual combat power is quite mysterious.

⑧: Yes, it’s Harleen Quinzel, not insane, a normal woman, married in Gotham.
