American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

DC-EU Universe.

It has been 11 months since the battle between Superman and General Zod in Metropolis.

The city has been rebuilt.

Home has returned to peace.

People have just emerged from the aftermath of the Kryptonian war.

But they are now faced with an even greater disaster.

No one knows where that purple monster came from.

All people know is that Earth's heroes have paid a painful price to fight against it.

Metropolis has turned into a wasteland!

Dozens of kilometers of buildings have been destroyed!

Skyscrapers have collapsed!

As far as the eye can see, there is not a single intact building!

Gotham City has been leveled, the battle tearing the land apart and sinking half of the buildings into the sea!

Millions of people have died!!!

If Superman hadn't moved the battlefield from Earth to space, the death toll would have multiplied!!!

But even in space...

This war is still earth-shattering!

"577" now, people only need to look up at night to see that the moon is forever missing a piece!

As if in an Eastern myth, a celestial dog took a bite out of the moon!

The phrase "full moon night" has bid farewell to humanity forever!

This war not only shook the world but also completely tore apart the disguise of Superman-like beings on DC Earth!

Before this...

The superheroes that were openly known were nothing more than Superman and Batman.

But after that purple monster appeared...

Countless hidden heroes and even villains emerged on Earth, joining the battle!

After the great war.

Superman transformed the crashed Kryptonian spaceship in the Arctic into a prison.

And named it - Fortress of Solitude.

And now...

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg...

Even villains like Deadshot, King Shark, and Peacemaker... and so on, have all participated in this battle.

Now, all the heroes and villains have gathered at the Fortress of Solitude, just to imprison a prisoner beneath the fortress.

At the same time, he is the only prisoner beneath the Fortress of Solitude.

"I thought there weren't so many Supermen on Earth?"

Batman looked at the group of super-powered individuals around him, feeling a strong sense of unease.

These super-powered individuals are too dangerous!

Just like Superman!

His power is too strong!

Powerful enough that once Superman chooses to do evil, there is almost nothing that can stop him!

Batman's personality is very similar to Marvel's Iron Man.

Both of them have a strong sense of crisis and see everything uncontrollable as a threat!

So Iron Man has prepared a series of anti-armors, such as anti-Hulk armor, anti-Thor armor, and so on.

And now...

Batman also believes that it is necessary for him to develop a counterplan!

A plan that targets all Supermen, whether heroes or villains, and exploits their weaknesses!

"Oh my god, your gaze is terrifying."

The Flash noticed Batman's gaze and was scared, getting goosebumps all over his body.

He quickly moved a few steps away from him.

Wonder Woman also frowned slightly and quietly moved away from Batman.

Not to mention the other villains, even though Batman is the only one on the field without superpowers.

But everyone instinctively kept their distance from him.

Because on Batman...

Whether hero or villain, everyone feels an inexplicable chill.

"Alright."

"Everyone quiet down."

Fortunately, at this moment, Superman Clark and Martian Manhunter arrived in front of everyone.

In an instant.

Everyone's gaze fell on Martian Manhunter.

Because this green-skinned Martian possesses powerful telepathic abilities.

He can read others' thoughts and memories.

But...

Facing everyone's gaze, Martian Manhunter helplessly shook his head.

"Despite suffering serious injuries, its willpower is still the strongest I have ever seen."

"And it seems to have conducted targeted defensive exercises against attacks like [Telepathy]."

"My Ability is ineffective against it."

"But..."

Martian Manhunter paused for a moment and continued, "But it still revealed its identity."

"It calls itself Thanos, the Mad Titan, the ruler of the universe..."

"From its tone, it doesn't seem like it's lying, and its power is enough to dominate in the universe."

"But the problem is... I have traveled the universe for many years, but I have never heard of it."

Martian Manhunter finished speaking.

Everyone's gaze fell on Superman again.

After all, he is known as a Kryptonian, a well-known identity since the General Zod battle last year.

"Everyone, I grew up on Earth."

Superman shook his head and dispelled everyone's doubts with a simple sentence.

"What do we do now?"

"How do we deal with this... universal ruler, Thanos?"

Wonder Woman asked.

"What else can we do?"

"Definitely kill it!"

Aquaman slammed his trident heavily on the ground with one hand.

His other hand was empty, torn off by Thanos from his shoulder position.

Now it can't be reattached, so he can only wrap it up and become a one-armed hero of the ocean.

"Killing won't solve the problem."

"We need to find out Thanos's origin and its purpose for coming here."

"And that purple gem..."

Batman finished speaking.

Everyone followed its gaze and looked at Cyborg.

Cyborg, who is half-human and half-machine, is holding a purple gem and scanning it with his mechanical eye.

"When I was fighting Thanos on the moon, it took out this gem."

"From its appearance at the time, it seemed like it wanted to launch some kind of attack on me, but in the end... it had no effect."

Superman said in a deep voice.

Thanos can be said to be the most powerful enemy he has encountered so far.

Even scarier than General Zod back then.

(In this timeline, the Doomsday, Darkseid, etc. have not appeared yet.)

"So... is this gem some kind of weapon?"

Wonder Woman glanced at the purple gem in Cyborg's hand.

It has to be said that, purely based on appearance, this gem is quite beautiful.

"Not just that!"

Suddenly.

Cyborg spoke.

His voice was trembling.

As if he had discovered something unbelievable.

This gem contains an extremely terrifying power within!

Even if just a little leaked out...

It would be enough to completely annihilate the 2.1 planets beneath our feet!

Even you, Clark, even your steel body cannot withstand this kind of power!

Cyborg slowly revealed a shocking discovery.

"What!?"

Hearing this news.

Everyone's faces showed astonishment.

Even Superman couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. Fortunately, Thanos didn't use this gem.

Crack!

Just when everyone was filled with fear.

Cyborg suddenly slammed the purple gem heavily on the table.

"Damn it! Thunder! Thanks! Special!"

The villain Deadshot was so scared that he directly fell to the ground.

Others also retreated one after another.

Even Superman was no exception.

"Cyborg! Have you gone crazy!"

Aquaman cursed directly.

However, Cyborg had a look of indifference and nodded slightly.

"As expected..."

"This thing cannot be used in our world."
