The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

What is more terrifying than Superman's punch?

It's a Superman hug.

Although Li Zhen's physical age is about three years older, roughly similar to the invincible young hero Mark at the beginning of the original work, his physique is also more muscular due to years of training.

But in front of a giant like Superman, it's still as helpless as a little bird in front of an eagle.

Its enormous wings were spread out, and then it was completely wrapped up from head to toe.

I gave him a big hug.

Moreover, because Lee Jung possesses considerable physical abilities, Superman doesn't need to be as cautious as he would be in the 'paper-thin Earth environment'.

A pretty solid hug.

Li Zhen rolled her eyes and slapped Superman's arm repeatedly.

Superman paused, looking somewhat bewildered, and spread his honest hands, watching Li Zhen, who had slid away in the air like a fish in water.

"Um, I just couldn't help it."

Li Zhen gave a strange look. "It feels like being clamped by a hydraulic press. Even though I'm just a lump of metal, it's still uncomfortable."

Superman didn't have a chance to speak.

Because the group of teenage Titans behind him finally recognized the instructor's identity from that familiar tone, they swarmed past him and ran wildly toward Li Zhen.

"Oh, this is a terrible situation that can't be avoided."

It's also very orderly.

Kara was the fastest, easily knocking past and overtaking the equally fast Shazam, sending the big red guy tumbling through the air several times.

Next up are Donna and Tula, whose physical abilities are better than others due to their bloodline.

The last group piled up into a small mountain, covering Li Zhen at the very bottom.

Rachel reached out a hand from the shadow dimension and patted Li Zhen's waist, using telepathy to help him relax his muscles. She then gently pinched his waist before withdrawing her hand.

Just as Li Zhenxin, who was pinned down by the three girls, breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Shazam's belated roar.

Don't leave me alone!

Lee Jung, barely managing to peek out from between the crowd, watched as the massive, red-haired muscleman, the size of Superman, leaped into the air. With lightning-fast reflexes, she could clearly see Shazam's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face and his tongue flailing wildly out of his mouth, before he crashed down like a mountain.

He then quickly mustered his strength, lifted the mountain of people with both arms, and teleported away.

"Yay—oh my god!"

Boom!

Shazam faced the ground and created a crater.

Li Zhen carried everyone over and kicked Shazam in the butt.

"I know you're looking for personal revenge, but at least consider the context."

Just kidding. With Shazam's size and strength, if he were to press down on them, he and Kara would probably be fine. Everyone else on top, including Donna and the others, would all have broken ribs.

The Justice League members watched helplessly as the 'kids,' whose average age was several generations younger than theirs, made a ruckus.

Green Arrow's beard trembled as he turned his head to whisper to Firestorm beside him.

"I really want to rush over there right now and tell him that the three bowstrings I broke today are worth more than a million dollars, and he has to pay for them."

Green Arrow didn't receive a response from Firestorm. Turning his head, he saw that although Firestorm was also exhausted, his eyes were fixed on the incredibly lively young Titans, and he had a silly grin on his face as they played around.

This.

Green Arrow then realized that Firestorm's true age was only in his early twenties. Strictly speaking, Firestorm and the Teen Titans would probably have more in common.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Green Arrow let out a breath and turned his head away helplessly.

Actually, he wasn't particularly taciturn in the Justice League; he usually had a good relationship with Green Lantern and Flash.

Green Lantern has been out of contact in the universe for too long, and the Flash has recently had fewer conversations with him because of another Flash who has arrived.

That's true, those two speedsters can exchange information so quickly.

In the past, there was really no other way; the Justice League didn't have a second speedster, so the Flash would patiently chat with his partners, who he considered to speak very slowly.

Superman was exchanging information with Diana, while the two Flashes chattered amongst themselves, sparks flying from their bodies. Green Arrow hesitated, smacked his lips, looked around, and finally realized that he only had Firestorm by his side.

"Ronnie, Ronnie!"

Green Arrow, feeling a bit stifled, softly called out Firestorm's real name a few times. The other finally snapped out of his daze, whirling around as the flames on his head flickered, looking at Green Arrow.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"So, are you the one who's always in control of the body outside? Could you let Mr. Martin come out and have a chat with me?"

……

After catching up, Li Zhen pushed aside the excited young Titans and began to explain today's test to them.

"Don't you guys think my joke went a bit too far?"

Shazam was the first to let out an exaggerated howl.

"That's definitely going too far! Dude, you broke both my arms and one leg, and you almost twisted my neck—but, buddy, let's just let it go."

Kara was still rubbing her hands together, seemingly unsatisfied. Although she was initially just expressing her emotions, she was the one who hugged the longest when everyone dispersed. Li Zhen gently pushed her a few times before she pretended to realize what was happening and backed away.

Kara clicked her tongue when she heard Shazam's complaint.

"I think it's okay. Although the killing intent was indeed more realistic than in the past training, the intensity was only slightly higher than in training."

Upon hearing this, Shazam was dumbfounded. "Sister, if your nose and facial bones hadn't been practically shattered, would I have charged at you like that, yelling like that?!"

Superman, standing behind, suddenly sharpened his gaze.

Even Li Zhen was speechless.

Kara's words are too saccharine; how could he possibly be so ruthless to them during training?

Seeing that Superman's face had turned dark, Li Zhen quickly coughed.

"Well, Kara is right about one thing. No matter how realistic it is today, my intention is just to prepare everyone mentally for the future."

Green Arrow, who couldn't connect with Firestorm at all, turned around, his voice full of worry.

"What does it mean to be mentally prepared for the future? Is Witrum really going to be invaded?"

"I think it's probably going to be even more terrifying."

In order to raise everyone's awareness of the crisis, Li Zhen decided to boast a little about the Apocalypse Star that he had recently smashed.

"He was a dark tyrant infamous throughout the world..."

I gave everyone a brief overview of Apokolips and Darkseid, since there's no historical record of an Apokolipian invasion in this world. Some people were still a bit confused, because verbal descriptions alone couldn't give them a real sense of the impending danger.

Only the newly arrived Flash, Wally West, changed his expression.

Barry noticed Wally's change and turned his head to ask a question in a low voice.

A burst of golden sparks erupted between the two speedsters, and a fraction of a second later, Barry's expression also turned grim.

The second person to finally realize the seriousness of the situation was Shazam. Before even Wonder Woman could react, he had already learned of Darkseid's true existence from Solomon's wisdom.

Superman looked worried, but he didn't know just how serious the situation was.

"So, when you simulated the Vitrum invasion just now, were you trying to tell us that Darkseid is stronger than a bunch of Vitrums?"

Li Zhen thought for a moment, then grinned.

"If He were to descend in His true form, He could crush my homeworld and all the Vitrumians on it with a single finger; not a single one would escape."

Now, everyone's face turned ashen.
