Let me show you a new way Chapter 064

“I am Doctor Fate, and this world is on the brink of disaster!” Lin Dong floated high in the air, his powerful magic vibrating the very air around him. “We need your strength.”

“Oh? Is that so? How can I trust you?” Superboy said with a wary expression. Most heroes liked to say they were ordinary people, but those who claimed to represent gods, destiny, or see into the future were usually villains.

Then Lin Dong pointed a finger at Superboy’s forehead, giving him an illusion.

“This spell is so convenient…” Lin Dong thought to himself. Although this spell wasn’t a mind-control spell, it could easily save him from lengthy explanations and get straight to the point.

After less than a second of daze, Superboy’s brain had already processed the information Lin Dong had transmitted to him.

He clearly saw the invaders: they were powerful, evil, and utterly without scruples, aided by highly intelligent companions.

Most importantly, their appearance reminded him of the Justice League.

“What… is this…” Superboy said, his voice filled with emotion.

“This… is the future you are about to face,” Lin Dong floated in the air, his voice vibrating the air. He was increasingly satisfied with Doctor Fate’s decorative effects.

Although Doctor Fate’s initial appearance was ugly, the stage lighting effects it brought were very significant. His voice naturally carried a deterrent, a deep bass that sounded incredibly powerful.

And the Ankh symbol that automatically appeared when he cast magic, along with the powerful light, could awe onlookers.

Anyway, the surrounding pedestrians had already stopped their cars and started taking out their phones to film.

“Superboy, do you wish to change this future, reverse the fate of this world, and save it from chaos…” Lin Dong extended an inviting hand gesture towards him, aided by the magical light around him, looking like a god descended from the heavens.

“If what you say is true…” Superboy looked up, “Then I’m in!”

Lin Dong showed a slight smile, nodded, and then waved to the side.

Poison Ivy and Zatanna, enveloped in a ball of green light, slowly came to Lin Dong’s side.

“Poison Ivy?” Superboy looked up in surprise, seeing Poison Ivy’s green outfit and the ring on her finger. “You became a Green Lantern?”

“That’s right!” Poison Ivy admitted straightforwardly.

“I’m Zatanna, um, a magician, I guess,” Zatanna greeted, introducing herself.

“Alright, introductions can wait a moment. Our journey is not over yet,” Lin Dong said loudly. Then, with a wave of his hand, familiar light enveloped the four of them.

—

In an ordinary apartment in Metropolis, a green monkey was playing computer games.

Yes, a green monkey. His fur was green, and his fingers were long, deftly pressing the controller, manipulating the computer character.

Then…

Boom—

A violent roar suddenly sounded behind the monkey. The monkey was startled, leaping up from the sofa, letting out a strange cry, and quickly transforming into a giant green gorilla in mid-air.

He looked uneasily at the sudden light in the room, pounding his chest with his fists, making muffled thuds, seemingly to embolden himself.

Then, the light dissipated, and four figures emerged.

“Conner?” the gorilla said in surprise.

“Garfield?” Superboy also responded in surprise.

The gorilla’s massive body immediately shrunk back, transforming into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with green skin and a red jumpsuit.

Garfield Logan, Beast Boy.

He was originally an ordinary child, but later, due to illness, he had to be injected with some kind of black-tech serum. The serum turned his skin green and gave him the ability to transform into any animal… though all of them were green.

His experience was quite similar to Poison Ivy’s: both coincidentally injected with some unreplicable black-tech serum, gaining superpowers. However, Poison Ivy gained part of the power of the Green, while Beast Boy gained part of the power of the Red.

His most common combat strategy was to turn into a bird, fly over the enemy’s head, poop on them, and then transform into a giant elephant and sit on them.

And don’t bother asking where the extra mass comes from during his transformations.

Superboy and Beast Boy were old acquaintances. In this world, Superboy also joined the Teen Titans and, after many adventures, left the Titans to become a lone hero. So Superboy went up to negotiate with him.

Lin Dong watched Beast Boy from the side using his magical vision, feeling a lively and restless life force within his body. That power seemed to connect all animals, which was the power of the Red.

Actually, in DC, the true wielder of the Red’s power is Animal Man. Animal Man doesn’t transform himself like Beast Boy to use animal powers.

He’s like the protagonist in some American cartoon, able to use the eyes of an eagle, the strength of a bear, the speed of a cheetah, and so on.

You might think that’s nothing special, but he can actually use the strength of a T-Rex, the healing of a worm, the electricity of an electric eel, and even fly without wings.

And he can also swim underwater and communicate with all animals.

Yes, of course, including fish.

So what’s the point of Aquaman?

However, Lin Dong did not find Animal Man’s figure in the future he saw through his magic, so Lin Dong estimated that this guy was probably either dead or had never been born.

Therefore, in this world, the only one suitable for the power of the Red was Beast Boy.

“So… you want to save the world?” Beast Boy seemed to have finished talking with Superboy. They walked over to Lin Dong’s side, and Beast Boy curiously examined Lin Dong.

This world was a special alternate dimension, so many things were similar yet different from the main world.

For example, the Teen Titans.

The Teen Titans are a long-standing heroic organization in DC Comics, mostly composed of the sidekicks of adult heroes, such as Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, and so on. In addition, some younger heroes also join this organization.

For example, before the New 52, Cyborg was a Teen Titan.

Five years ago, a major disaster occurred in this world, and many adult heroes died and were not resurrected. So, many subsequent crises in this world were stopped by these minors.

After five years, they have all grown up and gained reputations in this world. The “Teen” in Teen Titans has also been dropped, and they are now simply called the Titans.

However, the heroes did not inherit the hero names of their predecessors. For example, the former Robin did not inherit Batman’s name but changed his name to Nightwing. Kid Flash and Superboy also did not change their names, even though they looked like they were twenty years old (Superboy is actually less than ten years old because he was accelerated in a lab).

Perhaps they were unwilling to acknowledge the passing of the older generation of heroes.
