The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

When Li Zhen flew out of the Teen Titans base, he happened to run into the Supreme Superman who was chasing after him in the air.

This time, Li Zhen had little desire to speak, but simply nodded to the Supreme One, whose face showed concern mixed with confusion.

Watching Li Zhen fly past him and continue flying away, the Supreme sighed first, then glanced at the base of the young Titan.

He hasn't been inside yet, but now is definitely not the right time.

He turned around and followed Li Zhen's retreating figure.

Just as they were leaving the atmosphere, Li Zhen suddenly stopped.

After careful consideration, he decided to first report Kronos's disappearance verbally to Batman on the other end of the communicator.

A slight commotion could be heard coming from the microphone.

Golden Vanguard, nobody knows them.

Kronos is different. As a researcher with no criminal record, and after finally passing the Justice League's test, he voluntarily joined Li Zhen in the arduous task of logistics for Teen Titans.

At least from the perspective of an observer who was unaware of the relationship between Cronus and Li Zhen, Cronus left a rather deep impression on them.

An honest, unassuming superhero who buries himself in scientific research and isn't good with words.

Yes, because his criminal record was erased by a small-scale time-space correction before his debut, and because he served in official organizations and the Justice League, Kronos in this world is perceived by the general public as a low-key superhero similar to Cyborg.

Shazam, a fellow young Titan who had met Chronos more than ten times, gasped in surprise.

"Missing? Wait, God."

The things Shazam can think of, almost everyone can think of too.

The Flash's face immediately turned ugly.

Could it be that someone is secretly targeting all superpowered individuals who can be linked to time?

Wouldn't that mean all speedsters could be in danger?

In the past, he wouldn't have been so afraid if he were alone, but now, in Central City, besides him, there are two other speedsters who are even related to him by blood.

Black Wally and White Wally.

The Flash grew impatient and gave Batman a hopeful look.

He vanished in a flash of lightning only after Batman gave him an affirmative response.

Perhaps because of the precedent of Li Zhen sending a message only to find out bad news, the Flash, who already trusted his own legs even more, chose to personally tell the two Wallies to be extra careful in the near future.

Batman then replied to Li Zhen's call.

"Kronos's current situation is still unknown. We need to investigate the areas he may have passed through as soon as possible. It's impossible to find no trace of him at all."

Li Zhen had actually thought of this earlier, which is why she didn't choose to return to the watchtower immediately.

By the time Batman replied, he had already led Superman Supreme to the latitude and longitude above where everyone had parted ways when they returned to Earth.

Roughly comparing the location where Kronos last floated in the air with her memories, Li Zhen once again began to expand her mental power.

Unfortunately, the mental detection only extended for a little over three thousand meters before detecting an unusual location.

It was a strangely shaped cloud that had been cut in half.

It looked as if some enormous creature had taken a bite out of that area.

Before he could even get close enough to observe him properly, the third-generation spacetime armor that Li Zheng had just put into his body immediately issued a warning through a small-scale vibration.

He touched the coin-sized patch of skin on the inside of his left wrist that was throbbing constantly, and the armored AI covering his entire body scanned the area through his eyes.

Li Zhen finally understood that the cloud hadn't been bitten, but had simply drifted to this spot at this particular time.

Although the cracks in spacetime disturbance have disappeared, the old site, which is imperceptible and imperceptible to the naked eye, still exhibits changes that exceed normal physical constants.

A few light wisps of water mist became evidence of the traces left behind.

After the data entry was completed, Li Zhen followed the tutorial automatically projected onto her retina and attached the Justice League communicator to her wrist.

drip.

Always keeping a safe distance, the Supreme Little Superman, hovering about a thousand meters behind, curiously glanced in Li Zhen's direction.

A moment later, the Justice League compared the massive data archive sent by Li Zhen.

Although I don't understand how Li Zhen managed to complete such a complex data conversion record so quickly, now is not the time to worry about that.

Batman's deep voice made Li Zhen give up her last shred of hope.

"Although the spacetime disturbance has been repaired, according to Cyborg's comparison, the spacetime anomaly disturbance index at the location where Kronos disappeared is extremely similar to the place on the watchtower where the golden vanguard's corpse was spat out."

In other words, Golden Vanguard was not the first victim.

Cronus is the one.

On the day of parting, just as Li Zhen turned around, Kronos, piloting his second-generation armor, had only flown a little over three thousand meters away when he was attacked!

What was I doing at that time?

Oh, my flight speed is too fast.

Kronos had just moved three thousand meters away; he should have already been choosing a house with Superman the Supreme at that point.

Li Zhen's pupils dilated as she stood motionless in the air, seemingly lost in thought.

"Everyone with time-space abilities is potentially in danger now. The three speedsters in Central City need to be closely monitored..."

Batman's command came through the communicator.

"Retrieve the database and notify the United Nations that we need to compile a list of all people who have the time to work as soon as possible."

"Could there be people who weren't recorded?"

"—We can only focus on what we know for now."

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhen's pupils contracted rapidly.

He first looked at the Supreme Being, who was cautiously observing from afar.

"Do you know how many other guys have a certain amount of time-related ability?"

Superman was clearly stunned for a moment, then flew a little closer.

"Time manipulation ability? If you're referring specifically to someone who can travel through time, let me think."

The Supreme One started counting on his fingers.

"As for superheroes, there's Captain Atom, Time Master Lip Hunter, and Lightwave Rider Matthew Ryder; as for villains, there's Peggy Degarton, Extan, and the Emperor..."

The voice of the Supreme Little Superman got softer and softer as he counted down, and finally gave a somewhat awkward hint.

"But you should know that these guys who are associated with time all have one thing in common: whether they are heroes or villains, 80% of them are elusive and very difficult to find."

Captain Atom can do that too?

However, the Justice League will probably have something to worry about with someone as well-known as him.

Then Lee Jung suddenly remembered a guy who wasn't involved with time in the mainstream comics.

Jason Todd.

That guy has copied over a hundred different superpowers, and who knows, one or two of them might be related to time.

"Let's go, let's go to Gotham first."

"Gotham?"

Supreme didn't understand Li Zhen's thought process, but fortunately, action and words were not related, so he naturally followed Li Zhen and accelerated into flight mode.
