American comics: Random transformations

The commentator's voice had barely faded when he was already back on the train. He had knocked out his past self, so even carrying himself, he could still return to the train. It was truly an epic-level enhancement.

“Welcome back. If you hadn’t returned just now, you would have missed a great show. What comes next is the most spectacular.”

Tian Xiaoban stood by the window, carefully watching the changes in the timeline.

The others followed his example, watching through the window. The previously gray timeline seemed to have been injected with new vitality,焕发出 了 新 的 生机.

“Want to see what happened to this world?”

The Speedsters looked expectant: “Is it okay? If we go in like this, won’t there be some kind of butterfly effect?”

“It’s fine as long as you stay on the train. The car’s external energy membrane, besides being used for defense, can also be used for stealth! If we turn on stealth and go in, there won’t be any unnecessary butterfly effects.”

Tian Xiaoban directly shouted: “Red Lotus Knight Beast! Change direction and enter the timeline directly, activate stealth mode. Increase the consumption of Reverse Speed Force to maintain a higher-dimensional observation ability.”

The train obediently changed direction and rushed into the timeline. To the amazement of everyone, a very peaceful world appeared before their eyes.

“This time! There wasn’t even a conflict?” Steel Bone remembered this time. This was the time when the first god, the war god Ares, awakened. At the time, the shocking thing was that Ares destroyed an apartment building with a casual blow.

Steel Bone received the information from this era. It was much more advanced than their era. Information development here had reached the era of universal information.

Back in Steel Bone’s time, they were still using old-fashioned Walkmans, and even cell phones weren’t particularly smart.

If it weren’t for Superman and Steel Bone, after teaming up, desperately climbing the tech tree, they might have died long ago.

After all, gods have more and broader means of collecting information than humans. Back then, ordinary people were weak, so if they weren’t well-informed, they really wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

“This is… a normal world?”

After browsing the information of the entire world, Steel Bone exclaimed.

Even more interesting, in this time, he saw his past self who hadn’t been modified, the past self who still had a healthy body.

A nostalgic smile appeared on his cold face, “Great, this world is better than I thought.”

“Well, now there’s still one problem that needs to be solved.” Tian Xiaoban looked at the Speedsters: “Which of you will decide to stay? After staying, you have to treat this place as your own universe and take good care of it.”

“I’ll stay.” The Speedster who knocked out his past self said very sincerely to all the Speedsters: “I am willing to stay.”

“If you want to stay, then stay, but what are you going to do with your past self?”

“Just randomly drop him off. As long as he doesn’t go to that timeline again, when he wakes up, he will return to the world that suits him best.”

Tian Xiaoban complained:

“I’ve heard of fathers screwing over their sons, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone screw themselves over.”

The Speedster said very confidently: “I understand myself very well. Failing once won’t make him give up. There’s a high probability he’ll come again, so it’s best to put the Speedster in a chaotic space-time. That way, the past self won’t cause trouble again.”

Chapter 200 Another Flashpoint, Another Doomsday

“Then leave him on the train.”

Tian Xiaoban pointed to the other Speedsters: “When he wakes up, the other Speedsters should persuade him, right?”

The Speedsters nodded in unison. They had all seen the Flashpoint world, so they would naturally persuade this past self.

“Then I’m leaving!”

The Speedster who chose to stay jumped out of the train and became the Speedster of Central City again in this restarted world.

For ordinary citizens, the Speedster had been gone for a few days and finally returned. Their safety was back, and they no longer had to be afraid of being robbed when going out.

It should be said that the organization in Central City that was most excited to hear that the Speedster had returned was not the police. It was the Rogues, who could go find the Speedster to cause trouble again.

“Do you need to stay? After all, this is your world.” Tian Xiaoban turned to ask Steel Bone.

But Steel Bone frowned in confusion: “You said this world is mine? Isn’t it yours?”

Through his brain, which was like a quantum computer, the technological information of this world was like it wasn’t wearing any clothes, allowing Steel Bone to watch it at will.

He saw his past healthy self in this world. How could this be his world? If it was his world, then at this point in time, he would have been seriously injured and transformed into a robot by his scientist father.

Tian Xiaoban could only explain again:

“Normally speaking, when the future Speedster prevents the past self from modifying the past, everything will return to the normal timeline. Including you, Steel Bone, or should I call you, Victor.

Because the past has been modified, your current understanding of the future has stopped in an impossible dream.

All your experiences will only become an ordinary nightmare for the new Victor in this new world.”

Steel Bone’s understanding ability was still good. The logical feedback from the system’s deduction let him know that what Tian Xiaoban said was correct. If he really did the outrageous thing of modifying time that Tian Xiaoban said, then the disappearance of the future he knew was inevitable.

“No, how is this possible? My chip and brain’s archived memories are so clear. You said I went back to the past? Then wouldn’t I lose everything?

No, no, no, I don’t believe it. I still have to save those people, and Superman! My comrades.

Oh damn, could it be that the meaning of my coming here is to be abandoned by the world?”

It was precisely because he realized this that Steel Bone couldn’t believe it. If everything restarted, then what about him? Where should he go, having broken away from normal time?

“Because you are in the time train, you avoided the world’s modification reset. To put it simply, it’s similar to the world flipping out the previous archive, eliminating all of your future development progress and starting over directly from the archive.

So, you can also be considered to have jumped out of the world’s constraints, hehe, how does it feel to open your eyes and see the world?”

Tian Xiaoban liked seeing this kind of shocking and unbelievable expression.

“Then I…”

Steel Bone looked at this world that seemed very “peaceful”, the lively crowd and streets, and the flying Superman, looking at the online fans of those superheroes.

His eyes were full of confusion. He suddenly had a feeling that he had been abandoned by the world.

Shazam ran to his side, patted Steel Bone’s metal shoulder, expressed comfort, and supported him spiritually with a “wise” look to help him recover from his loss.

Steel Bone felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Shazam’s “wise” eyes. Having experienced the Flashpoint Doomsday, he wasn’t as open as the Steel Bones in other parallel universes.

Tian Xiaoban flashed a wide grin, offering a good suggestion to the confused:

“Like I said, you can choose to stay, or you can come with me. Want to go to the next Flashpoint universe and continue saving the world? Experience the splendor of those different worlds?”

These words were like a ray of light, helping Cyborg break free from his confusion.

“Okay!”

… … … … … … … … … … … …

The train sliced through the space-time tunnel, and within the tunnel, they drifted to another Flashpoint universe.

A completely new universe.

As soon as they emerged from the time tunnel, they were confronted by a group of Supermen.

A group of Supermen wearing black tights with a striking red 'S' on their chests.

At this moment, they were chasing a Superman wearing blue tights, a red cape, and red shorts – the classic look.

Clearly, the black Supermen weren't as fast as the classic Superman, but they had numbers on their side. They cornered him, engaging in multiple aerial battles.

Heat vision beams swept wildly as the classic Superman dodged with difficulty, then seized an opportunity, using all his strength to break out of the encirclement.

They were staging a high-speed chase, a 'Fast & Furious' in the sky.

… …

Everyone on the train saw this scene. Two of them, who could fly, were eager to go out and help.

“It's Superman?! He's in danger, I'm going to help him now!” Cyborg prepared to go out.

Shazam ran up and echoed, “I'll go too!”

Just as Cyborg was about to leave, Tian Xiaoban held him back.

“Wait, buddy, what about your quantum brain? It's not just for show, is it? Could you please check the information about this world first?

You guys too, check the information before you act, or it's easy to cause a bigger butterfly effect. Don't forget, we're not from this timeline.”

Although he said it casually, Tian Xiaoban added in his mind: As long as the Flash is around, it doesn't matter if Superman dies. The Flash has the ability to alter time.

Cyborg listened and nodded. His red electronic eye began to glow, and a virtual panel unfolded before him.

Data streams within his eye scrolled rapidly as he connected to the world's remaining network.

“This! Damn it, another doomsday!”

After exclaiming indignantly, Cyborg continued to check the information. The latest news on public platforms was actually from three years ago?

［Lex Luthor cracked alien technology and successfully obtained cloning technology, cloning an army of Supermen. Earth is finally safe!］

［Warning! The entire world is now prostrate at Lex's feet! We oppose dictatorship!］

［Superman defeated! He opposed Lex and was successfully defeated by the clone army! Earth will once again usher in peace.］

［Terrorist attack! A terrorist attack has occurred. The perpetrator captured by the roadside cameras is actually Superman!］

［… …］

… …

As he sifted through the information, Cyborg's expression became increasingly grim.

“What the f*ck! Who is this Lex Luthor?

Damn it, why didn't we have him in our universe? If he had successfully cloned Superman in our universe, how could we have been bullied by those evil gods!”

His suppressed emotions suddenly erupted. Cyborg's body temperature rose, and red纹路 appeared on his metal shell. Shazam, who was close to him, felt a suffocating heat.

Tian Xiaoban calmly moved away from them, saying in a faint voice:

“Calm down, this is called the difference in worlds. The same world, the same people, but because of their different choices, different parallel universes are created.

You see, in this universe, even if no evil god descends, there will still be other doomsday events happening.

As a time traveler, you need to get used to it sooner, Cyborg.”

“Damn it.”

… …

In this world, Lex Luthor, who obtained Kryptonian technology, successfully cloned Superman. It was a perfect clone. They not only had the same genes as Superman, but also, with Lex Luthor's optimization, the clones were even stronger.

The only drawback was that the brains of these cloned Supermen had been tampered with by Lex Luthor, and their intelligence had been locked. Moreover, they would only obey Lex Luthor's orders.

After the experiment was successful, Lex Luthor unhesitatingly mass-produced 300 cloned Supermen. Then, Lex Luthor stopped production.

According to Lex Luthor's official information online, 300 Supermen was the upper limit that Earth could bear. If there were more Supermen, it would easily lead to uncontrollable situations.

Then, just like a jinx, the cloned Supermen went out of control.

… …

The reason they went out of control was that Lex Luthor died.

No one knew how he died. When the original Superman found him, Lex Luthor's body was already rotting. He died at his own desk.

The tragedy was for ordinary people. When everyone woke up, they found that the cloned Supermen had gone mad, destroying everything uncontrollably.

They indiscriminately injured people, almost carrying out a great purge of the entire Earth, killing anyone or any animal they saw.

The clones were actually just executing the revenge program set by Lex Luthor. Whoever killed Lex Luthor, the clones would kill them.

But no one knew how Lex Luthor died, so killing everyone on Earth became their highest priority revenge program.

Just as the clones were firing their heat vision and wreaking havoc, the original Superman stood up.

He relied on himself, having absorbed the sun's rays for a few more years than these clones, possessing faster speed and a smarter brain. He successfully rescued many ordinary people from the clones' hands.

He was simply an angel in the apocalypse.

Adversity reveals true character. Superman had almost become the only faith of the survivors. When Superman came, there was safety!

… …

And these bloodthirsty Superman clones were almost invincible. Superman had thought about killing them with Kryptonite, but he couldn't.

No one knew what black technology Lex Luthor had stuffed into the Superman clones' bodies, but Kryptonite weapons had very little killing power against them.

It could break their defenses, but it wasn't fatal! Even with multiple Kryptonite bullets fired into them, these Superman clones even gained the ability to use heat vision lasers to perform surgery on themselves to remove the Kryptonite bullets.

Even… these clones could hold Kryptonite weapons and use them against Superman.

Their terrifying teamwork made Superman, the unlucky guy, often suffer. Once he faced three or more Superman clones, he was bound to be in a miserable state.
