The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Tim, on the other hand, never hesitates and answers the phone at lightning speed.

"Hll, instructor, today is a day off. Everyone else has taken leave, and I'm the only one on duty at the base."

Noticing the gazes of those around her, Li Zhen silently brought her phone even closer to her face.

"No need to report that. Um, cough, where did Kronos go? He should have filled out a report form when he asked for leave, right?"

"Ask for leave?"

Tim scratched his head on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Kronos didn't follow the leave application process?"

"What?"

Li Zhen's first reaction was disbelief.

He had established some rules within the Teen Titans base that weren't particularly strict, and judging from Kronos's appearance, he didn't seem like the type to easily break the rules he set.

But Tim's second sentence silenced Lee Jung.

"Mr. Kronos hasn't returned since he went to space with you, Instructor. I thought he was still with you."

Li Zhen hung up the phone.

Because his aura had visibly changed, several superheroes unconsciously took a few steps back and moved a little further away from him.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Batman did not eavesdrop on Li Zhen's phone call.

Instead, after observing Li Zhen's increasingly cold expression, he frowned and took the initiative to ask.

"What's wrong?"

Li Zhen did not answer immediately, but instead gazed at the corpse of the Golden Vanguard once more.

He turned around and rubbed his temples as if he had a headache.

"I'll go check and I'll be right back."

Once Li Zhen's figure disappeared amidst the muffled explosion, some people focused their attention on the alloy floor that had been dented by Li Zhen's footsteps, while others turned their attention to the Supreme Little Superman who had come with Li Zhen.

Many Justice League members know that the Incredibles family has been growing recently, and many have also seen Connor, who was knocked unconscious by Lee Jung after a brief appearance at the party.

However, this doesn't seem to be the Superboy who recently appeared in the Superman family.

The Supreme Little Superman was originally standing in place with his arms crossed.

Only after being surrounded by the gazes of many people did she belatedly loosen her arms and stand up straighter.

"Uh, he walked too fast."

Perhaps it was due to his otaku tendencies, or perhaps Superman wasn't quite used to being surrounded by so many comic book characters, but his expression became uneasy in a very short time.

"Okay, I came here with him, maybe I'll go and take a look too."

He muttered something to himself, and then the Supreme Little Superman quickly disappeared from the spot.

Batman stared at the spot where Superman had been standing until Superman reached out and pressed his shoulder before turning around.

Superman didn't notice that Batman was watching the Supreme, and was only staring at the corpse of the Golden Vanguard with a sorrowful expression.

"I don't know how many more tests you need to do on this body, but I think we should consider letting this poor fellow rest in peace as soon as possible?"

Batman raised his hand and shook off Superman's arm.

"Setting up the Golden Vanguard first... won't affect my ability to conduct tests whenever I need them later."

The Flash sighed.

"The Central City Laboratory has a suitable instrument for carrying time field energy. I'll see if we can have Central City use it to make a coffin."

No one intended to strip the Golden Vanguard of his dazzling, extravagant armor; it was their way of acknowledging him after hearing about his exploits from Li Zhen.

However, since it is a super armor set that is related to time, it does require a careful and cautious placement method.

When the Flash disappeared in a golden bolt of lightning, Li Zhen, back on Earth, had already landed in the logistics operations room of the Teen Titans base.

After the mesh robots sent by Steelbone were destroyed, Kronos was in charge of logistics here for a long time.

This guy has extremely low requirements for material conditions, and is even willing to become a babysitter for a bunch of super problem teenagers for Li Zhen's sake.

They only needed a small laboratory; they didn't even need a dormitory room.

Li Zhen didn't think Kronos would leave without saying goodbye. With the help of the highest authority, he didn't disturb Tim and walked alone into the logistics support room, which he had never set foot in before.

While carefully recalling the memories of the time before parting after returning from space, he meticulously used his mental power to sense every trace.

The short-lived Villain Alliance didn't last long, and its disbandment was practically a matter of time before the group returned to Earth.

The witch was used to the secret training ground that had been hidden for thousands of years. Wolf said that his vacation was almost over and he needed to return to the universe to continue his bounty hunter career. He also left Li Zhen a way to call him anytime.

Amozhuo is still at the Origin Wall, and it's not yet time for the next visit that Li Zhen promised.

Cronus...

What did Cronus say to him?

Li Zhen was in a hurry to find a place for Supreme Superman to stay, and fearing that Supreme might want to visit the Titan base after hearing about it, he just waved to Kronos in a very anxious manner.

The villains then parted ways in the air.

Li Zhen turned her head.

In this logistics room, he could only detect through his mental power the traces of Kronos having been on duty here alone in the past; there were no other clues.

After leaving the logistics room, Li Zhen went to the small laboratory assigned to Kronos.

Despite its small size, this laboratory, backed by substantial US dollars, boasts a surprisingly advanced level of technology.

As his mental energy expanded, he gradually saw the figure of Cronus busily moving about.

His super brain entered an unprecedented operating power, and with the support of his mental strength, he traced back the history of Cronus's relentless work here through the subtle traces and the movement patterns of every molecule in the air.

He roughly estimated Cronus's movements here a month ago, but still found nothing.

stab.

Li Zhen covered her forehead, and the moment her fingertips touched the skin of her forehead, they were burned by the scalding heat, and wisps of blue smoke rose from her skin.

However, this level of heat is still acceptable.

Li Zhen calmed her super brain, slowly cooling herself in the air as she approached a protruding device hanging on the wall.

This was the last place he stayed before Cronus, who was informed by him, went into space with him.

Inside is the third-generation time-space armor that Kronos hasn't yet fully completed the debugging process for.

Li Zhen tentatively reached out her hand.

The metal cover on the outside of the protruding device can be opened directly.

Inside the transparent glass dome, a black and white fluid, constantly rolling and shuttling around some kind of blue energy field, is performing a motion similar to a Möbius strip.

Having witnessed all of Kronos's actions over the past month, Li Zhen knew that the technological advancements in this suit of armor were primarily due to Kronos's significant breakthrough in the microscopic realm, where he had previously lost to Ray Palmer, the Atom.

The third-generation spacetime armor is composed of an almost infinite number of femtometer-level spacetime mechanical clusters, two levels more microscopic than nanometers. It can perfectly integrate into the body of any carbon-based life form, and—

Even more indestructible!

And the moment Li Zhen's fingers finally touched the glass cover.

The black and white third-generation armor emerged from the real glass shield with unparalleled smoothness, as if passing through water, and together with the blue energy field, wrapped around Li Zhen's hand.

The two colors, like splashes of ink or a continuous stream of water, quickly covered Li Zhen's entire body and then vanished without a trace in a few breaths.

Only a black and white hourglass mark remained on Li Zhen's chest.

The instructions for using the armor and a voice message notification flooded into Li Zhen's mind.

Before leaving, Kronos gave some brief instructions to the intelligent assistant in the laboratory.

"Integrate the information related to Zynth, who has the highest authority in the Teen Titans, into my personal access database—all my inventions are for B."
