American comics: Random transformations

Shazam instantly appeared beside Tian Xiaoban, casually placing his hand on Tian Xiaoban's shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.

Tian Xiaoban brushed his hand off, nodded to the Flash, and then said to Shazam:

“Superman still has my things. Let's wait until he returns. As for after that... I don't mind. I can leave anytime after he comes back, or I can stay here for a few days.”

Most importantly, Tian Xiaoban wanted to see if he could harvest another wave of special metals.

Then, Tian Xiaoban said to the Flash: “If you come with me, as long as you crash into your past selves who are trying to alter time within the time stream, the timeline will return to normal, and the Flashpoint universe will be completely erased by the power of time.”

The Flashes were silent. Altering time would erase a world, but it had to be done. Although they didn't want to admit it, they had already prepared to face this reality: “We understand.”

“As for you, Shazam! Do you want me to send you back, or come with us? If you come with me, you might never be able to return to your world!”

“Then will you go and save my world?”

“Of course, I will. As long as there's still hope for the world, I won't give up. After all, I am the destined savior.”

Tian Xiaoban wasn't exaggerating now. He really had the ability to save the world now. He just needed to use Complaint Energy to pull Garfield's projection over. Then, he could let Garfield swallow this Flashpoint world. Once it entered Garfield's inner universe, he could change it however he wanted.

“Really! Where is that Superman? I'll fly over and find him!” Shazam said happily.

“I don't know where he is either. He might be on his way to resist aliens, or he might be delayed by some other small matter.”

… … … …

Thousands of miles away.

Superman was negotiating with Athena of this universe.

They were discussing how they should get along in the future and how to face extraterrestrial threats besides themselves. After all, the current Athena had clearly stated the reasons why the gods must subdue humanity.

Subdue humans, gather faith, and resist alien life! If it weren't for Superman and another man with a green watch suddenly appearing, they, the Olympian gods, would have already succeeded!

“Impossible. We gods need these believers, otherwise we won't have the power to become stronger and resist future disasters. You simply don't understand how terrible the war was back then!”

Athena babbled on and on, and Superman basically didn't understand a word.

“In short, most of your believers must stay and help me develop Metropolis. Although I don't like the word 'slave,' it's undeniable that these pests, who have betrayed us once, are the best tools.”

Athena agreed. After all, there were too many members of her clan, and she couldn't manage them well, so she directly divided a large portion of them, which was the most reasonable thing to do.

In short, under their discussion, the fate of this group of people had already been arranged!

The time they spent chatting passed very quickly, and an hour had already passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of Athena, Superman pulled out the Evolution Truster and transformed into a blue giant again.

This time, whether it was an illusion or not, Superman felt that controlling this giant body had become easier.

The Nexus Armament on his hand flashed, and then almost 2/3 of the divine dependents present were pulled into the Meta Field.

He used this large field as a transit point, transferring hundreds of millions of people to the gate of Metropolis.

The sudden appearance of so many people immediately triggered the battle alarm belonging to Metropolis on the outer metal walls.

The people standing in the signal tower were shocked. Wasn't the war over? How could so many enemies suddenly appear?

Cyborg scanned with his electronic eyes, seeing the most comprehensive information. The data stream in his eyes flashed, and he turned off the alarm that was causing a commotion in the city.

“Superman is back, but the people he brought... are a bit too many.”

After Cyborg communicated with Tian Xiaoban and the others who had run up, he activated his thrusters to the fullest and flew out of the city.

“This alarm system is really powerful. Are you interested in going over? To see this Superman.”

Tian Xiaoban asked everyone, and the answer he received was denial. They would rather stay here and study the train than run to such a far place to watch the show.

Except for Shazam, he really didn't know who Superman was. In his original Flashpoint universe, Superman wasn't adopted by the old farm couple.

Instead, he was intercepted by the people of the government! After they caught Superman, they locked him up in a dark place. Therefore, Shazam didn't know about the character of Superman at all.

Tian Xiaoban saw through Shazam's thoughts, so he said directly:

“If you want to go, then go ahead. He's similar to you, and he also likes to wear tights and a cape. Maybe you'll have similar topics to talk about after you meet him.”

Shazam: “I'm just a wizard, and this so-called cape is actually a wizard's robe. Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back.”

He raised his fists flat with both hands and flew in the direction of Superman, who was the giant of light. The current Superman was also quite easy to recognize. Rumors about Superman turning into a blue giant were circulating everywhere in the city, and it was hard not to recognize such a large blue giant.

The Flashes didn't go, or rather, they didn't all leave. They were chatting together, discussing what to pay attention to when traveling through time to make changes.

The Complaint Energy collector, which was the black microphone, was filled with power once again during the chat.

“This time, I really need something more reliable: I want a four-dimensional pocket that can collect materials and perfectly preserve them.”

The energy gathered, and according to Tian Xiaoban's memories, the standard pocket of that blue mechanical cat, the four-dimensional pocket, appeared in front of him.

Chapter 198 The Tragedy of the Flashpoint World

The white, semi-circular pocket slowly fell from the sky and landed in Tian Xiaoban's hand.

“Four-dimensional pocket. A pocket forcibly taken from that world using Complaint Energy. The feel is good.”

Tian Xiaoban squeezed it and made his comment. Then he opened the mouth of the bag, directly reached in, and touched it with a lottery mentality, to see if there were any special products from that world, those technological gadgets with outrageous functions.

As a result… …

“Ouch!

Hiss — — — —”

When Tian Xiaoban's hand came out again, a large, face-basin-sized animal trap made of special memory alloy was tightly clamped on Tian Xiaoban's hand.

The skin of his arm, which had been strengthened by electric current, had been clamped with teeth marks that penetrated the flesh by this animal trap, and faint traces of blood could still be seen oozing out.

“Hiss, it hurts — —, damn it, it broke the skin. What is this? Such a high-tech four-dimensional pocket, and it actually uses such a primitive anti-theft device?”

Tian Xiaoban pried open the animal trap and threw it aside resentfully. He looked at the small bag with a black line on his face. Fortunately, he had only reached in with his hand just now, instead of sticking his head in to look.

He looked around, dismantled a broomstick from the nearest place, and stuffed it into the pocket to explore. He heard two “click, click” sounds, and two more animal traps were triggered, and the broomstick also turned into broken wooden sticks.

“This four-dimensional bag… …isn't it specifically used to sell animal traps? Otherwise, how could it be filled with so many weapons? It's dangerous to take them out. The person using this thing can't possibly be stronger than me, right?”

… …

（In the Doraemon world, in the primeval forest park of the future, a hunter uncle who specializes in capturing high-end ingredients looks at the back of his car in a daze: "That's strange? Where's the animal trap I used to catch dinosaurs? Did I forget to bring it before I got in the car?" He sighed that he was getting old and his memory was failing. Now he can only go back to get it...）

......

Tian Xiaoban turned the bag upside down and shook it hard, and suddenly "ding ding dang dang..."

The contents inside fell all over the floor because of his shaking. Good heavens, more than three hundred large animal traps, and twenty or thirty small animal traps. Judging from their material, they should be from the same factory.

Tian Xiaoban cursed directly:

"Damn it, this is some bullsh*t energy. Is this something that can be used on people? If you want to break my hands, just say so! Who the hell opens a blind box and gets more than 330 animal traps!"

The microphone clipped to his waistband lit up again. ［Energy +80, +102］

......

The sound of the door opening was followed by a boisterous voice.

"Wow, wow."

Shazam brought Superman and the others back. As soon as they arrived, they saw animal traps all over the floor, and their heads were filled with doubts.

"Bro, are you trying to hunt here? But who sets traps indoors? Are you trying to catch people? Really? Are you sure you can catch us, a group of super-fast people?"

He also poked the animal trap with his hand, quickly retracting it after triggering the effect.

"Snap!"

The sound of the memory alloy biting and colliding was very crisp. The excessive force even carried a trembling echo. Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it's a good thing.

"Oh, this power looks pretty good, it should be able to catch large animals, I'll try again."

Shazam, with his playful nature, poked it again, this time not retracting his hand, letting the animal trap trigger and close, wanting to see if his defense could withstand it.

"Clang!"

The alloy clamp bit his finger and sparked.

Shazam exclaimed in shock:

"Hiss, this thing is a bit terrifying. Even a grenade explosion wouldn't give me any physical feedback, but this thing can actually make my finger feel pinched, unbelievable."

Hearing Shazam say this, Tian Xiaoban realized that this pile of animal traps seemed to be a good material! Not to mention anything else, just this hardness, even a god's body can be affected, the springs inside must be very good.

Alloy from the Doraemon world, this should have some special abilities, more or less, right? I'll throw these metals to Garfield later and see if he can replicate them.

Watching Shazam getting more and more excited, tirelessly triggering the traps, listening to the echo of the clamp tightening.

"Cough, stop playing, I'll put these clamps away later. By the way, Superman, you should give me my things!"

Tian Xiaoban reached out to Superman for his things, and Superman smiled and placed the Evolution Truster in Tian Xiaoban's hand.

"Thank you for lending me your power. I represent all the citizens of Metropolis and thank you. Without the assistance of this power, the war would not have ended so quickly."

"Is that so?" Tian Xiaoban smiled and took back the thing, then his expression quickly turned cold: "You're happy too soon."

"What?"

Superman was puzzled, what did that mean?

"The condition for me staying is for you to help me find the metal. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise. If you find it, I'll stay a few more days. If you don't find it, I'll leave now, and they'll leave with me."

Superman didn't expect Tian Xiaoban to be so anxious, and at the same time, he looked at the others in astonishment.

The Flash and Shazam were a little embarrassed, after all, they each had their own missions, and they also needed to save other worlds!

Shazam took the lead in saying:

"Sorry, Superman, I still have to save my world, I don't have much time to spend here."

The Flashes pointed at Tian Xiaoban and said to Superman: "Sorry, Superman, we also have things we need to do. So, we have to listen to him now."

Superman nodded, then said to Tian Xiaoban seriously:

"I will try my best to find the metals you mentioned before, give me half a day.

If I can't find it in half a day, then the things you need may no longer exist on Earth! And Metropolis will need me to solve a lot of troubles next, I may only have this half day free."

Tian Xiaoban expressed his understanding. In the current situation, it will definitely take a long time to restore the entire city to normal after the war. It is reasonable for Superman to be busy.

"Okay, let the Flash and Shazam go with you, it's only half a day, I'll wait here."

"Then thank you. You can order the surrounding computer butler if you need anything. Cyborg's AI can help you solve most of the food and drink problems."

"Okay, thank you." After Tian Xiaoban thanked him, he went to the upper floor.

… … … … … … … … … … … …

In Cyborg's laboratory, the four-dimensional pocket put the Pantheon in. No matter how much stuff the four-dimensional pocket contains, the weight is still the weight of the bag, very... scientific.

Back in the train, Tian Xiaoban was still wondering where he should put this four-dimensional pocket.

Should he put it directly on his body, or on the train?

"Let's put it on my body for now, so it's convenient for my next actions. When I see something I like, I can just put it in."

The four-dimensional pocket was directly attached to the hem of Tian Xiaoban's long trench coat, hidden enough and convenient enough for him to put things in.

......

While waiting for them, Tian Xiaoban chatted with Reverse-Flash:

"Reverse-Flash, what do you think, after we modify this universe, will these restarted people still remember the things of the future?"

Reverse-Flash shook his head, his words not very certain:

"I don't know, speedsters never have this kind of trouble. As long as our power doesn't fade, we will always remember everything we've experienced. Maybe for those ordinary people, it's like a dream. Everything that happens on the timeline will probably be transmitted to them as fragmented dreams."

When his clone died, he often transmitted this kind of dream to him, and Reverse-Flash was already used to it.

Seeming to have thought of something, Reverse-Flash suddenly stopped talking, and some pictures flashed quickly in his mind. It seemed to be him from another universe!

He from another universe actually connected to the Negative Speed Force, became a true god of speed, won against the Flash of that world, shattered the earth with his fists, pierced through the universe, scared all the alien gods in the entire universe, all life ran away when they saw him, he could do whatever he wanted.

Seeing such a spectacular scene, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, which caused the Negative Speed Force in his body to have a tendency to rapidly increase, and even some energy leaked out, red arcs of electricity flashing on his body.

Tian Xiaoban noticed that something was wrong, this guy had suddenly become strange after he shut up just now.

Now, the Negative Speed Force that Reverse-Flash was bursting out without running was almost catching up to the amount he usually burst out when running.

Only one word can explain this scene: enlightenment.
