The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Green Arrow carefully raised one hand.

"This is no joke, is it?"

No one responded to his words to ease the tension; Li Zhen simply shrugged at him.

"Oh my God."

Green Arrow awkwardly lowered his hand, his fingers gripping the bowstring and unconsciously rubbing it.

"If Superman hadn't intervened, we wouldn't have even been able to handle what you just did. How could we possibly deal with someone who could easily kill an entire planet like 'you'?"

Li Zhen raised an eyebrow and glanced at everyone's reactions, suddenly realizing that she might have exaggerated the seriousness of the situation again.

Where in the three-dimensional universe could Darkseid's true form possibly descend? He's a higher-dimensional life form, and the boss of the New Gods.

If the true form were to descend, it would only mean that the entire Olympian realm of gods, which was at the forefront, had fallen. At that point, it would be a death sentence, with no way to escape.

But in reality, Darkseid rarely did things like destroying the universe. Most of his conquests involved creating a three-dimensional projection and directing his subordinates to explode one planet after another.

In reality, it's just an overwhelming force of the army. However, what the Witrum people can usually handle with a small squad, Apokolips needs a general to coordinate with hundreds of billions of Parademons.

So Li Zhen recounted the entire story, starting from her investigation into the cause of death and ending with her discovery of Viman and Apokolips. "I killed Viman and shattered the defenses of Apokolips, but this is not the end. A large portion of the Dark Elite Legion's main fighting force still lives in this universe, and Apokolips could descend from a higher dimension again at any time."

"I certainly can't defend like this indefinitely by myself. Once they find a way to make Darkseid appear instantly, and I rush in without knowing anything, I will surely die."

The reason why Darkseid's arrival always requires various rituals is because, as an absolute monarch, he naturally needs a body of absolute authority to bear his presence.

Li Zhen guessed that even if it wasn't as strong as when he received the blessings of the gods, it was definitely among the top few levels of the power pyramid in the three-dimensional physical realm.

But I am still a long way from that height.

That was a height that Li Zhenguang could almost never reach or touch, even through training and fierce battles.

Because there simply aren't any opponents in such a tiered structure for him to hone his skills step by step.

Is Amorozora ever coming back?

Moreover, it's hard to say whether the intelligent atoms inside one's own body have that upper limit.

If the upper limit that intelligent atoms can record includes the physical power level of the three-dimensional vertices, then even if one's body lost its magic during the time the gods blessed and withdrew, it should have recorded and normalized its power.

But it didn't happen.

The moment the blessings of the gods were withdrawn, he was instantly reverted to his original state, and was also instantly killed by both the anti-virus and the death effect fired by Darkseid from a higher dimension. "It was only a matter of time."

Wally West, with his head down, suddenly said this.

When all eyes were on him, Wally looked up sadly.

"That is an invincible being. Even Superman, whom I know well, died under Darkseid's fist. He could kill Superman with his strength alone, without needing to rely on Kryptonite."

Superman noticed that everyone's attention had turned to him again because of Wally's words, and his worried expression turned into helplessness.

Scratched his head.

"Um, I didn't get that memory, so I don't know what it felt like."

"We are more powerless against Darkseid than against a Doomsday that has only just begun to develop."

Li Zhen chimed in.

Superman's gaze finally turned horrified.

Because of the cosmic patch, he has more than one memory in his mind of being killed or nearly killed by Doomsday.

It's important to understand that this wasn't Doomsday's limit; that killing machine was constantly getting stronger. But for Doomsday to evolve to the pinnacle of three dimensions, it would still take a relatively long time. Even if it evolved a hundred times faster than Li Zhen's normal evolution speed, it would still take hundreds of years.

Li Zhen is even further behind.

"That's absolutely terrifying."

Superman muttered to himself.

However, as the least quick-witted member of the world's best duo, Superman's speed in regaining his composure is almost on par with Shazam.

"It seems we're about to enter a high-pressure work mode, ladies and gentlemen."

Superman clenched his fist and began to encourage everyone.

"Li Zhen helped us take the first step, and we'll probably have to start from..."

Before the superbrain could connect, Superman instinctively looked at Batman's stand-in.

Green Arrow sighed. He had been secretly applying care oil to his bowstring, and he looked somewhat hasty as he hid the jar behind his back.

"I think we should start with protecting Earth, specifically against that dark... what was it again?"

"Dark Elite Corps." "Yes, Dark Elite Corps, commence."

Green Arrow's brain is finally getting a chance to work. As a versatile tactical mastermind, he has rarely thought about team matters himself since Batman appeared in his life.

However, as his mind becomes more active, he is starting to speak more fluently.

However, the return to tactical thinking, along with the extra chatter that wasn't there under normal circumstances, required those listening to him to adjust.

"According to Li Zhen, the Dark Lord also has a group of subordinates, along with Parademons—that's a strange name, the Parademon Mother Nest—don't interrupt me, just get the gist of it. In short, there is a considerable force wandering the universe on Apokolips."

"We need to establish corresponding defenses against this, and also find a way to reconnect with Green Lantern—haha, I'm not doing this because I'm lonely!"

"Join forces with the Green Lantern Corps to nip that dangerous organization in the bud. You can't guard against thieves a thousand days in advance, understand?"

"..."

Diana raised her hand to cover her ears, looking at Green Arrow with a strange expression as he talked on and on, always interrupting with a strange remark.

"Is anyone talking to him, Palmer?"

Atom stood on Superman's shoulder, shook his head, and leaped down, regaining his original size in mid-air.

"It wasn't me, I've never been with him." After recounting more than a dozen points of policy, Green Arrow raised his hand and stroked his beard, still seemingly unsatisfied.

"By the way, did you guys see the message Nightwing sent earlier? Does anyone know where Batman is? We should find Batman as soon as possible; this is a big deal, and I can't guarantee I can handle it completely."

Li Zhen felt that when Green Arrow talked about finding Batman, his tone didn't seem very sincere.

This guy, after discovering Batman's disappearance, was probably secretly thrilled, right?

As for the fact that Batman had indeed disappeared, it wasn't until three days later that everyone finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Because Batman's disappearance was too complete.

Superman and Kara, Barry and Wally—these two teams searched almost every inch of the earth and every planet in the entire solar system, but they couldn't find any trace of Batman.

Even Li Zhen was stunned when she found out.

"Darkseid is coming, and Batman is absent from this team fight?"

I tried hard to recall all the content from comics, movies, and anime that I only vaguely understood in the past.

Then it was discovered that this seemed to be the first time in the entire DC universe.

"Could it be that Wyman actually had two plans in mind, and besides me, he also targeted Batman?" Batman is gone, but the plan still needs to continue.

Over the past three days, Li Zhen and Cyborg have exchanged some small gifts. Cyborg received a new third-generation body created using Mother Box technology, while Li Zhen received a small device that can locate the Green Lantern Corps' headquarters in OA.

He and Shazam embarked on a journey through deep space in search of the Green Lantern.

Superman is actually more mature, but his power gradually weakens after he leaves the solar system.

Only Shazam could lean on his shoulder and accompany him on this journey across the universe.
