The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 167 Origin Sharing

Batman gestures to Cyborg to turn on the projector.

"Through this period of investigation, combined with what Li Zhen saw and heard in the time stream, it is confirmed that when the Flash, who is connected to the Speed ​​Field, awakens, he will download information that originally belonged to another universe into our world."

The projected images consisted entirely of strange scenes captured using some kind of special instrument.

Simply put, those were images recorded by a time-travel camera jointly developed by Atom, Firestorm, and Cyborg.

The photo clearly captures Pandora's right hand, which she has always insisted is in her possession, with a blurry, indistinct shadow above her palm.

Along the streets of New York City, on some vacant lots that were not originally planned for construction, buildings comparable in size have appeared.

Even inside Superman's Lonely Fortress, you can see a shadowy figure crawling on the gleaming metal floor.

Some members who were not involved in the recent related research raised their hands in confusion.

"What do those shadows represent?"

Li Zhen's somewhat languid voice rang out.

"We've taken over a place in a world that should have existed (New 52). Remember that crazy Flash? He died in this world, but he still managed to save it through some unknown means."

"All the information from that world (New 52) was recorded in the Speed ​​Field with his death, and when the Flash from our world awakens and reconnects to the Speed ​​Field, that information will be updated here in sync."

"The only saving grace is that the gap between the two universes isn't that big—Pandora will have a real Pandora's box, and things that don't exist in our world will suddenly appear, like a building, or a person who knows us but we don't know them."

Li Zhen had actually told Batman a relatively simple version of these things before. At the time, Batman simply told him not to reveal it too early and said that he would investigate and verify it.

However, since today's meeting was able to take place, it is clear that Batman has verified Li Zhen's statement.

Reboots are commonplace in the DC universe, and this isn't really a reboot, it's more like a minor patch.

A patch that allows this universe to truly replace the existence of the New 52 universe.

Li Zhen was relatively accepting of it, but others who were hearing about it for the first time were not so easily calmed down.

A lively discussion immediately broke out at the conference table.

"Good heavens, won't this raise some serious ethical issues?"

"Of course it will happen. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I wasn't dating my current girlfriend in another world, and then suddenly a new one appeared in my life. How would I survive?"

"Girlfriend? That's the smallest problem! Imagine, your wife, son, and so on could all become someone else!"

Steel Bone interrupted the increasingly skewed discussion.

"The situation isn't that serious, but conflict is certain to exist, and we have to be prepared to accept it."

"Unless we abandon The Flash, or even murder him."

The field fell silent.

Would you trade one Flash for the world's continued stable development?

No one in the Justice League would make such a decision, and even if someone had other ideas, they couldn't say them so openly.

The usually unserious plastics people became unusually serious.

"If this is a change that will affect the whole world, is it really appropriate for us to make this decision alone?"

Batman's deep voice rang out.

"A month and a half ago, I briefly mentioned the situation to the United Nations, and governments around the world were prepared."

Superman stood up.

"We need to work together to overcome any problems that may arise. If anything changes in anyone's life, remember to report it to the Justice League immediately."

"---Then I think I'm fine."

Once all members had overcome their mental hurdle, the tone of the meeting was finally set.

Firestorm will travel to Central City at noon today to give The Flash his final treatment. Everyone else will return home to prepare for the changes in the world.

Superman arrived last and left first, probably because his super hearing had caught something and he planned to deal with it before going home.

As usual, Li Zhen stood up when there were only a few people left.

He walked toward the exit of the watchtower.

Perhaps in a mere millisecond, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of red.

Not far in front of him, Green Arrow, who was about to step onto the teleporter, seemed to have been frozen in place.

Turning around, even Cyborg and Batman had stopped all movement, as if time had frozen.

"Um?

A brief moment of confusion flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, but she immediately understood.

This is a private chat room unique to speedsters. There has been a similar plot in the comics, where the Flash or Superman uses the technique of actively spreading the influence of the Speed ​​Force/biofield to pull people around who can react at this speed into a state of almost time-space stillness.

Regardless of the universe, the only regular members of this chat room are usually the Flash and Superman.

Because other people don't have that reaction speed.

For example, in Injustice, before Injustice Superman completely turned to the dark side, he opened a chat room and pleaded with the Flash from the Injustice Universe to help change the tragic history.

In this state where time and space are almost frozen, only the Flash and Superman know the content of their conversation. Even Batman wouldn't know what the two were talking about in that tiny gap.

At most, we can tell from the sudden change in Superman and Flash's expressions that the two of them had just discussed something privately.

To be honest, if Li Zhen hadn't recently boosted his stats several times, he wouldn't have even noticed that the chat room had been opened.

"Mr. Swann?"

The Flash hasn't woken up yet, there aren't many people who can open this chat room, and Superman was the first to leave.

Reverse Flash appeared amidst the flashing lights, still in the classic pose of arms crossed, leaning against the watchtower porthole.

Li Zhen sighed and urged him on.

"Is there something you want to talk about?"

In this state, Li Zhen's body energy was almost forcibly pulled to an extremely terrifying level, and even her super endurance was struggling to withstand the consumption.

"Just a heads-up."

Reverse-Flash seemed somewhat excited, though it was unclear whether it was because the Flash was finally about to awaken or something else.

"This cosmic patch might be the only thing that's not good for you."

A look of doubt flashed in Li Zhen's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Reverse Flash's speech was still relatively vague, and every word he uttered seemed to have been carefully considered.

"This world is about to become the central universe, but before that, you were supposed to be the only special being."

Li Zhen blinked.
