The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 165 Imperial Legacy

Although it can't compare to Superman's heat vision, Lee Jung's daily magical power is limited.

If activated at maximum power, which is close to the current thermal vision energy level used by Superman, it could only be played out for a maximum of ten seconds.

Of course, power can be adjusted.

If used at low power, it can be released continuously for half an hour without any problem.

At least when dealing with some low-level mobs that are just trying to increase numbers, you don't have to go up there and punch them repeatedly.

With his hands behind his back, he descended from the sky, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

This instantly elevates the overall style.

As for those who could rival him, Li Zhen still held onto Wittrum's mindset, believing that a direct, visceral fight was more satisfying.

Just as Zatana was about to mock Li Zhen's shortsightedness, Rachel suddenly reached out and poked Li Zhen in the back.

Li Zhen turned around and looked in the direction Rachel's outstretched arm.

The three of them were currently on the outskirts of the beach villa, some distance from the hidden cliff.

Looking further a distance, across a U-shaped bay that curves inward, you can see the little cabin that Tom left behind.

And right outside the cabin, under that tree, a person wearing strange armor was standing silently.

At the tomb of an emperor.

"Um?"

Li Zhen gestured to Zatana and Rachel to stand there, then silently flew over, her feet leaving the sand.

Cronus stared blankly at the emperor's tomb.

Since it was, after all, burying another version of herself, Li Zhen didn't hold back. She specially selected a sturdy bluestone from the seabed and used her hand blade and force field to shape it into a square tombstone.

Rachel also helped by using magic to sculpt the emperor's face and engrave it on the stone tablet.

Kronos was engrossed in watching when Li Zhen's voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Cronus was startled and turned around abruptly. The confusion in his eyes turned into ecstasy after two blinks.

"Mr. Gentle! Oh, no, boss! You're still alive?"

Kronos excitedly ran two steps toward Li Zhen, who, not recognizing him, raised her fist warily.

Completely unfamiliar, the armor he was wearing looked quite intimidating, and he inexplicably found himself at the emperor's tomb.

There are too many strange and grotesque beings in this world, so Li Zhen couldn't help but be on guard.

However, Cronus was completely unaware, circled around Li Zhen for half a turn, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Um, boss, you've become so young—what kind of ability is this? Why do you look like you haven't even reached adulthood?"

Do you know me?

Cronus paused, then raised his hand to stroke his chin, beginning to think.

"Huh? Boss, you... have amnesia?"

Li Zhen was a little impatient and was ready to throw a punch at him for a quick question and answer session. However, Cronus was a chatterbox and rattled off everything that had happened since he met Empress Jeanne.

Back when the Super Villain Secret Society was recruiting the Emperor, the Emperor released Kronos from the Negative Dimension and assigned him to secretly monitor the activities of other members of the Society.

Cronus was incredibly diligent. Having finally found a new boss who seemed to have a bright future, he naturally wanted to do his best to serve him.

With his ability to skillfully utilize his time-driven armor, Kronos is indeed a master scout.

Several times during this time, the Despair Demon vaguely sensed something, and immediately activated his armor, reversing his own time, which was equivalent to instantly escaping thousands of miles away.

After the members of the Super Villain Society finished checking the surroundings and left a distance, Kronos reactivated his armor, refreshed himself to the previous location, and followed the trail.

But not long after, before he even had a chance to report the results of his surveillance to his new boss, Cronus unilaterally lost contact with the emperor.

Cronus was extremely anxious.

He didn't want to go back to that state of destitution, and with the failure of the Crime Syndicate causing the Super Villain Society to scatter, Kronos simply abandoned the mission and began searching the world for the Emperor.

To be honest, Kronos's time-driven armor can do quite a lot of things.

"Because of the paradox of time and space, I designed a simplified version of the backtracking program for my armor."

Kronos gently tapped the white hourglass mark on his chest.

"I can enter a space of time afterimages, and after designating a particular afterimage, I can follow its past activity trajectory and track its future changes."

Li Zhen didn't know much about this subject, and after listening for a while, she became even more confused. Fortunately, Cronus was very understanding. After noticing Li Zhen's confusion, he used more colloquial language to describe it.

Simply put, it means that Cronus can enter an uncertain time rift that is completely different from the Speed ​​Force channel.

After returning to the place where the emperor last met him, he entered the time rift, entered an uncertain time state, and bound himself to the emperor's activity trajectory, following the clues all the way to the tomb by the sea.

However, within the rift of time, apart from the time afterimage he was bound to, he could not see anything else, and other people in reality could not sense him either. Kronos could only follow the afterimage in a daze.

"Finally, I landed in front of the tombstone. It scared me to death. I thought you, boss, were already—"

Li Zhen lowered her head and rubbed her face to hide the astonishment in her eyes.

There are still too many strange and bizarre characters in this world.

In other aspects, this Kronos is like an idiot, but his scientific research ability and black technology time equipment ability are so strong that they refresh Li Zhen's worldview.

Without relying on the Speed ​​Force, he can manipulate time and space equipment in a small area by hand, and he is clearly a background character who was not well-known in the original comics.

The nickname Cronus is indeed fitting; he is the legendary god of time.

"It seems that Jeanne left herself a truly remarkable legacy," it was this Cronus.

After rubbing her face, Li Zhen had some plans in mind.

He raised his head and shamelessly took the place of the boss in Kronos's mind.

"My plan failed, but it wasn't a complete failure. By discarding my memories and changing my appearance, I successfully infiltrated the Justice League."

That's nonsense. It's simple: if they can get a character like Cronus into their team, he might come in handy in the future.

"They've infiltrated the Justice League?!"

Cronus's eyes widened, then his expression quickly turned to admiration.

Even if the Sky Eye Society isn't crippled, the Justice League is still an organization that absolutely crushes the expectations of Kronos.

Look at this, what a classy supervillain looks like. Compared to those villainous organizations that crumble at the slightest touch, the boss can accomplish such an incredible feat all by himself.

"My God, boss, you're amazing! I knew working for you would lead to a bright future."

Cronus then immediately began rubbing his hands together excitedly.

"Boss, what's our next step?"

Li Zhen looked at the relatively simple-minded Cronus and pondered for a moment.

"You don't have any overt bad records, right?"

"Of course not. In fact, my worst status right now is that of a deserter from the Sky Eye Society."

"Then perhaps you could come to Teen Titans and become a technical advisor."

Cronus was bewildered again upon hearing this.

He was unable to access the internet during that brief period of time and had no idea what Teen Titans was.
