The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Li Zhen was deeply impressed by the story of Golden Vanguard.

He remembered an episode of the animated series from his previous life where the rigid and serious Batman was criticizing Gold Vanguard for being distracted in the battle against the Queen Bee. Gold Vanguard accidentally stumbled into the Time Protection Orb next to him and joined the battlefield of the suddenly appearing "Time Rift".

He witnessed firsthand how Vanguard Gold, whom Batman had always thought was unworthy of being a hero, actually fought desperately to protect the stability of time in this world.

Batman felt a palpable sense of guilt towards Vanguard Gold and began to obey the commands of this new Time Master. However, due to the excessive energy consumption of the Time Protection Orb on Vanguard Gold, he had no choice but to send Batman back to the original point of reference so that he could continue fighting alone.

Before completely losing this memory, Batman finally expressed his approval of Vanguard Gold.

"I misunderstood you. Your character is far better than our assessment of you. Perhaps one day, I will discover the real you."

The Golden Vanguard turned and rushed to fight the monster that had devoured time, and defeated it at the last moment before dying.

As time came to a halt, the golden vanguard, which was on the verge of death, was refreshed, as if nothing had happened.

This is the deeper reason why he is misunderstood. In reality, he may die in every mission and never be able to recover from his injuries.

When he returned to Batman, he was met with the same cold and sarcastic remarks.

"If you can't get rid of your habit of always getting distracted in battle, one day we'll be killed by your dragging us down."

Batman finished his rant and left, but Golden Vanguard just smiled calmly.

It has to be said that Lee Jung really liked this kind of character setting when she was a child.

"Great figures who will never be known."

He simplified the backstory of the Golden Vanguard and the setting of the Time Rift to make it easier for the Justice League members to understand.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves, speculating about the cause of his death.

Only Batman frowned slightly.

"It's possible that the Golden Vanguard joined this universe long ago because of the Cosmic Patch event, or perhaps our universe already had the Golden Vanguard. But the Cosmic Patch event undoubtedly creates a lot of spacetime paradoxes, which may have led to the Golden Vanguard's workload being far greater than before."

He was so busy until the moment before he was killed that he couldn't find a single spare moment to actually join the Justice League.

"So he was killed by something inside the time rift?"

Having received Flashpoint memories, The Flash also deeply empathized with the Golden Vanguard's character, his face showing sorrowful sympathy.

This feeling of loneliness arises because, due to the change in timeline, some of the stories that happened are known only to oneself in the whole world.

Batman flicked his cape and pulled out a device that looked like a forehead thermometer from his all-purpose belt, scanning the strange yet peaceful corpse of the Golden Vanguard, who had no obvious wounds, from head to toe.

Beep beep.

A red light, indicating an error, lit up on the instrument.

Batman put away the equipment and glanced at it.

"We can't trace his timeline data. If we just watch, we'll never know the cause of his death—we're unsure whether he lost to a possible enemy in a time rift, or if something bigger happened behind the scenes."

For the first time, Batman's concerns were shared by everyone; these kinds of questions, which are likely to involve time, are often very tricky.

It's not that the Justice League isn't strong enough, but rather that it lacks professionalism.

Within the entire Justice League, it seems that only the Speedster can handle time-related issues.

"etc."

Li Zhen suddenly remembered something and looked at the Flash with a questioning gaze.

"Was Reverse-Lightning also born in the 25th century?"

The Flash instinctively wanted to show a look of disgust, but considering Reverse-Flash's crucial role in saving him in the previous Flashpoint world, he could only nod reluctantly.

"When I fought Swann in the past, he mentioned things about the 25th century, but I don't know the specific year."

What a coincidence!

Golden Vanguard and Reverse-Flash were born in at least the same century.

In addition, since both have a time attribute, their correlation should be closer than that between other people born in the same century under normal circumstances.

Li Zhen's hand unconsciously touched the communicator, but he didn't have Reverse Lightning's contact information.

So we can only turn our attention back to The Flash.

"Do you have a way to get in touch with Reverse-Flash?"

Upon hearing this, Superman immediately covered his mouth, and even Batman's eyes darted quickly towards Li Zhen's direction.

After merging with several different versions of himself, the Flash became much more melancholic and mature. Otherwise, he would probably have jumped up and down upon hearing such an outrageous request.

Raising his head slightly, The Flash took a deep breath.

"No! How could I possibly contact him! If I really knew more about him..."

The Flash didn't say anything more.

However, one can imagine that if the Flash had truly understood more details about Reverse-Flash, he would have already gone to the 25th century to take revenge.

Li Zhen had only just remembered that Reverse-Flash and The Flash had a blood feud over killing each other's mothers. Her lips twitched twice, and she turned her head away to avoid The Flash's resentful gaze.

Having had several pleasant encounters with Reverse-Flash, he subconsciously forgot about this fairly basic premise.

Just now, all I could think about was Reverse-Flash saving The Flash in the Flashpoint world. Maybe their relationship could improve.

Fortunately, the Flash can't beat himself; he just needs to apologize to the person sometime.

Li Zhen's question left the entire Justice League speechless for a long while before Batman finally broke the silence with a low voice.

"Your 'team,' doesn't your team include Kronos, who is also quite knowledgeable about time devices?"

Wonder Woman, who hadn't said much until now, was hearing such a disrespectful name for the first time, and she raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways.

I didn't ask it right away.

Compared to her disrespect for Zeus's genealogy, she still had questions for Lee Jung about the witch Cersei.

Li Zhen let out a sound of surprise and nodded.

Yes, Kronos also has some knowledge of the time realm, which might be helpful in investigating the cause of death of the Golden Vanguard.

Because Kronos's authority has always been insufficient, he does not have his own Justice League communicator.

Li Zhen took out her phone and, in front of all the superheroes, made a simple and unpretentious call to Kronos.

Many eyes were focused on the buzzing, vibrating cell phone.

The scene of more than twenty superheroes waiting together for Li Zhen to make a phone call from the watchtower has an indescribable wildness to it.

Forty seconds later, the call was automatically transferred to voicemail.

This makes things even more awkward.

Li Zhen held the phone up to his face without changing expression. While wondering why Kronos, who always answered any of his messages instantly, was so busy when he needed him so much, he dialed the number of Tim, the current leader of the Teen Titans.

He had just used his mental power to scan the area in the direction of the young Titan through the watchtower. Kronos was probably on leave today; he wasn't in the logistics department or the laboratory.
