The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Superman was the first to step forward quickly, his blue eyes filled with genuine concern as he glanced at Li Zhen's still blood-stained battle suit.

"I'll take you to Lonely Fortress for treatment in the medical pod; the equipment there will help you recover faster."

"Oh? There's no need to trouble yourself with such a minor injury."

Li Zhen quickly waved her hand.

Superman didn't press the matter further, but his eyes held a more serious expectation, and his tone suddenly shifted in an unexpected direction.

"So, would you consider joining the Justice League?"

"oh!"

Shazam responded immediately, putting his arm around Lee Jung's shoulder, as if he had been expecting this for a long time.

"That's a fantastic idea, really, and you're definitely brave, buddy."

Diana also walked over slowly, the fire sword and divine shield in her hands quietly put away, and only undisguised guilt and gentleness remained between her brows.

She looked into Li Zhen's eyes and said softly.

"I was too harsh on you before. Later I realized that in that environment and under that education model, you had no choice at all."

The Flash's face was still a little pale. In fact, he was initially more skeptical of the Justice League's records of Lee Jung.

But when he saw the ruins of the divine realm and Li Zhen covered in blood with the corpses of two gods lying at his feet, he couldn't help but believe it to a large extent.

"I...I just thought about it dozens of times in my head."

Barry spoke rapidly, but with obvious hesitation, his eyes glancing at the still-wet bloodstains on Li Zhen's body from time to time before quickly looking away.

"Today, your courage, sense of responsibility, and quick thinking were all very unexpected... But in the future, when dealing with criminals, it's best if we focus on arresting them... On behalf of myself, I welcome you."

As he finished speaking, his voice grew weaker and weaker, and he waved his hand with feigned composure.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared, it's just that my metabolism is too fast, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't shake."

Green Lantern didn't speak, but merely glanced at his Green Lantern ring.

"I swear I'll definitely be going on space missions quite often in the future."

All eyes fell on Li Zhen, some with anticipation, some with friendliness, and some with curiosity, but Li Zhen looked toward the black figure at the edge of the cliff.

Batman's black cape billowed in the mountain wind, the tactical display screen on his left forearm glowed with a ghostly blue light, dense data jumped rapidly on the screen, and his right fingertips tapped precisely and quickly, as if everything around him was irrelevant.

"Batman, say something too!"

Shazam shouted at Batman's back.

"This is a crucial moment for inviting people; stop focusing on analyzing the data!"

Batman paused, then slowly turned around.

The eyes beneath the bat mask swept past the crowd and locked onto Li Zhen. His voice was low and hoarse, but what he said had nothing to do with what everyone expected.

"That ring should last for another eight seconds."

Li Zhen's body stiffened slightly, and she slowly pulled away from Shazam's hand on her shoulder, taking two steps back.

His gaze swept over the Justice League members in front of him, and he shrugged.

"Thank you all for your kind invitations, but I cannot join. I've said before, I'm not suited to be a hero."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped and lifted his feet slightly off the ground. His figure instantly transformed into a black afterimage, speeding away into the distance and quickly disappearing at the horizon.

The mountain wind continued to howl, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. Only Batman slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the tactical display screen, the sound of his fingertips tapping ringing out once more.

……

Let's go back to where we started.

On the bridge of the watchtower, Batman quietly looked at Li Zhen, a cold and distant smile suddenly appearing on his usually taut lips.

It was as if they had finally seen through everything.

"Ever since you came into contact with that girl who uses magic, some of your outward emotional expressions have become more youthful."

"And you finally showed some of the eagerness that young people should have; you were somewhat anxious to gain their trust further."

Li Zhen's gaze instantly became complicated, his face filled with incomprehension.

"you……"

"You don't need to pretend anymore."

Batman interrupted him without hesitation.

"From the moment you stepped onto Earth, I have been constantly trying to improve your psychological personality model."

"You have always been very 'sincere,' peeling back your bloody past experiences bit by bit and showing them to different people in different categories, while also honestly stating that you will never repent."

"But this actually dispelled the doubts of everyone who came into contact with you even faster. They were all too kind and would only imagine how serious the trauma you had suffered in the past, and they had more pity and trust for you based on their imagination."

"But you've been overlooking one person—the one who saved you from space that night."

Li Zhen's expression finally showed an unexpected stiffness.

Batman simply spoke quietly.

"His power is beyond the limits of your imagination. From the moment you were frozen and unconscious, drifting close to the solar system, you were already within his range of perception."

"And that night, he also told me that the first emotion you feel when you wake up and see the Earth is indeed surprise, but the second is a greedy malice."

Li Zhen's expression finally changed noticeably, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

The Black Robe Superman's power was indeed completely beyond his expectations.

"You completely changed after you discovered him, and realized how incredibly powerful he was."

"Humble, gentle, polite, and incredibly sincere to everyone."

Batman's speech began to quicken.

"You may indeed hate Wittrum's culture and spirit, but you have always guided all your actions with the Wittrum survival rules that you have come to understand. The person who saved you is a new 'standard'."

"You adapted to Witrum's rules in the past and became excellent; now, you are perfectly executing a plan on how to live within the 'rules' of an absolute power with a clear stance of justice."

"Your mind has long since gone mad, and unfortunately, you've stumbled upon my profession."

Li Zhen rubbed her temples, let out a long sigh, and finally dropped all pretense, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and acceptance.

"Alright, Mr. Batman, since you've seen through everything, then please tell me, you must have a backup plan for me going to Asgard alone to save Professor Prince, right? At least it shouldn't leave me in a desperate situation."

Upon hearing this, Batman raised his hand and tossed over a black ring box.

Li Zhen caught it instinctively, her heart filled with surprise.

The other party should understand that the significance of him obtaining the lamp ring is completely different from that of ordinary people obtaining a lamp ring.

Batman saw through his confusion and explained calmly.

"This isn't the Yellow Lantern Ring you got that night. It's an old one I acquired in the past. Originally, the energy inside could support a Yellow Lantern in battle for at least three minutes. But now that I have a new ring full of energy, I have the time to study and dismantle it. The remaining energy inside can only support it for ten seconds at most."

"This is also the limit of emotional energy required for your Witrum physique to go from severe injury and near death to initial healing, as I have calculated."

Li Zhen cautiously and quickly opened the box and glanced inside. The yellow light ring inside emitted a faint glow. Then, a thought flashed through her mind, and she looked up at Batman.

"Instead of using these ten seconds to heal my wounds, it would be more convenient to use this ring to summon the Yellow Lantern Legion from the realm of the gods, stirring up trouble on Olympus and rescuing Professor Prince. It would also solve two problems at the same time: how long have those Green Lantern Legion soldiers been staking out the solar system?"

A barely perceptible hint of seriousness flashed in Batman's eyes, before he slowly shook his head.

"Initiating a war between the Legion of Fear and the Olympian gods would result in countless unnecessary deaths and injuries. The Justice League will not agree to this decision. However, if you find yourself in dire straits in the realm of the gods, you can adapt to the situation as it unfolds. This is your choice and has nothing to do with the League."
