The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 255 Return to Earth

Li Zhen endured over twenty minutes of criticism from Rachel in the Shadow Dimension.

Yes, Rachel did not stop Li Zhen from going to Apokolips for revenge. Instead, she silently followed him until Li Zhen completely shattered the planet and returned to the Shadow Dimension. Only then did she cross her arms and begin to reprimand him.

"Have you ever considered that you might not actually be able to beat them?"

Have you thought about how to get back to Earth?

"Have you thought about what to do with the rest of the guys who aren't on Apokolips? The Steppenwolf you kept talking about when you flew over there doesn't seem to be on that planet at all."

Have you ever imagined waking up one day to find that Steppenwolf has split the Earth in two?

Li Zhen, who had been meek and submissive for a long time, retorted softly.

"As long as Desard still fears the Dark Lord, he would never allow Steppenwolf to carry out this operation alone. In terms of priorities, killing me is definitely more important than destroying the Earth."

Li Zhen's words were not without basis.

That's because before Apokolips was completely smashed into a showerhead by him, Desad, knowing full well that he couldn't survive, took the initiative to appear and stop him out of sheer desperation.

Compared to his previous harsh words, Disad finally lowered his stance and even gave Li Zhen the tools that could help track down Viman Vandeba. He also hoped that Li Zhen could decide whether to continue to be an enemy of Apokolips after investigating the facts.

It's clear that Desad is truly out of options.

Li Zhen's strength is precisely positioned in a rather delicate way.

Disad was quite certain that when Apokolips mobilized its entire force, Li Zhen would be no match for Apokolips.

The annoying thing is that Disad didn't detect any longing for his home planet in Li Zhen's tone at all.

Until the explosion of Apokolips and the death of Desad, he still did not know where Li Zhen came from.

Although such things are not difficult to investigate, let's not even talk about whether there are other people of the same strength as Li Zhen on the planet she came from.

Just to put it simply, what if they all mobilize and Li Zhen turns around and runs away?

Even Kant, the Dark Elite's fastest member on Apokolips and known as the best hunter in the universe, could only outrun Li Zhen by a fraction of a second when he unleashed his full power.

We still can't win.

If Li Zhen abandons her planet and runs away, who will chase after her?

Kanté, now resurrected, might be able to catch up, but can he win?

Will they still be able to complete the tasks assigned by the Dark Lord at that time?

This young man looks young, and not only is he well-rounded in strength, physique, and speed, but he also somehow managed to acquire the ability to locate Apokolips.

Just as Li Zhen said, from now on the two sides will be completely sworn enemies. Li Zhen will come to Apocalypse Star to plunder whenever he has time. The entire Dark Elite Group will have to stay on the planet to defend it.

Just defending isn't enough to win.

When Disad was racking his brains to find out Li Zhen's origins, he also captured spacetime curvature data and calculated how Li Zhen arrived in this special star field.

There are traces of faster-than-light jumps in the star field.

God knows how any race could possess this ability individually.

It perfectly highlights the ability to move and fight freely.

Kalibak, who already dislikes Disadad, is unlikely to offer his wholehearted assistance.

Steppenwolf and Mantis could definitely beat Lee Jung with a hammer, but they couldn't stop her from running away.

Kanté might be able to track them down, but one Kanté alone can't win.

With this kid constantly blocking his door, the Dark Lord's reincarnation plan is unlikely to proceed, and the previous plan targeting the anti-universe scheme seems to have failed.

If the Dark Lord's clone, the only one who could guarantee a complete crushing defeat of this kid, couldn't be created, then the furious Darkseid would urge Dessaad to hurry up and complete the task of collecting the fragments of the Anti-Life Equation.

Darkseid could certainly just wash his hands of the matter and leave all the problems to the Dark Elite, but Dessaid doesn't have that many heads to chop off.

You say Li Zhen is annoying, but she's not that strong. She could take down Apokolips with all her might, which makes it impossible to shift the blame for the problem.

Weak yet not weak at all; if either Steppenwolf or Mantis dared to leave, the rest of them combined would have little chance of stopping Li Zhen from blowing up Apokolips again.

This means that as long as Li Zhen doesn't shift her focus, the blame for Disadvantage will remain.

So, no matter how uncomfortable or humiliating it was for Desad to figure out the key point, he begged Li Zhen to deal with the mastermind, Viman Vandeba, first, and not keep focusing on Apokolips.

"That guy is obviously a smart man, and he's best at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He'll just transfer all his hatred onto Wyman, who was driven away long ago."

Li Zhen explained to Rachel with a slightly smug look on her face.

"Moreover, the roles of Desad and Weyman in the Dark Elite are clearly overlapping. Both of them rely on their intellect to make a living, but Darkseid may not need two strategists to advise him. I even suspect that Weyman was tricked and driven out by that guy."

Rachel was stunned by what Li Zhen said, and she put the criticism and questioning to the back of her mind. She even unconsciously lowered her hands, which she had crossed in front of her chest to boost her morale.

"So, you went back to Earth to investigate Wyman. If Apokolips were to descend again and come after you for revenge, wouldn't Earth be doomed?"

Li Zhen revealed a sly smile.

"Witrum doesn't have the habit of letting his enemies grow unchecked. I haven't explicitly promised Disad anything. Besides, why can't the Dark Lord be held responsible for what Wiman Vandeba did just because he was kicked out?"

The meaning of this statement is already quite clear.

Li Zhen had no intention of letting Apokolips descend into this universe intact.

"Okay Rachel, send me back to Earth first. I know you definitely have the ability, otherwise why would you come with me without saying a word?"

Seeing the long-haired Li Zhen praying with her hands clasped together in front of her, Rachel remembered her earlier display of authority when she gave up halfway.

Rolling her eyes, Rachel finally opened the exit of the Shadow Dimension to Gotham City.

"Oh! Wait, help me change my clothes first. The white stealth hooded suit I wore before was pretty good. I've grown a bit taller now, so it should fit me again."

Rachel retrieved the previous universal body from behind her and used magic to transfer the clothes directly onto long-haired Li Zhen's body.

After Li Zhen left, Rachel shifted her gaze somewhat guiltily, looking at the bare Divine Realm Universal Body.

Although it looks completely different from Li Zhen due to its universal characteristics, it carries a spiritual scent that can satisfy Rachel.

Of course, she had her legitimate reasons.

Before Lee Jung turns against Olympus, there is still a chance to get back the other custom-made body that is completely modeled after Lee Jung's appearance.

Rachel plans to help Li Zhen clean up any magical remnants that the gods might have left on her body.

This will be convenient for Li Zhen to use when needed in the future.

This universal body will naturally be used for practice for a while first.

Rachel stretched out her hands, her face flushed, and reached for the body that Li Zhen had used.

"It's reasonable to study this for a while."

— As soon as Li Zhen stepped out of the Shadow Dimension, he saw a bald, blindfolded fat man being trampled under Jason's feet, making pig-like howls.

He was somewhat stunned, because Jason was known for his ruthlessness and decisiveness, so how could he have the time to control a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in this way?

Before Li Zhen could even ask a question, Jason, who had glanced at him, immediately began to explain.

"His name is Wilson Morgan. He is the only one in Gotham City who has been infected with the virus and retains his full superpowers, and he is a unique individual with a pure heart."

"Ha, so you're actually showing your compassion by stepping on him?"

"Not because a group of superpowered individuals carrying signals similar to Parademons tried to recruit this guy yesterday."

Jason's tone was clearly annoyed.

"And this foolish fat man, no matter how I explained that those people yesterday had ill intentions towards him, resolutely refused to believe me."

Wilson Morgan struggled violently, his palms overflowing with blue-white lightning energy.

"I won't believe you! You monster! Murderer! It's all just an excuse you're using to justify your slaughter!"
