The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning
Chapter 59 Terrifying Monster
"Absolutely not."
Li Zhen glanced directly at Batman, bypassing Shazam, and raised her hands in a crossed gesture.
Shazam's excitement froze instantly.
Shazam was naturally unhappy about this.
During this period, he has been ignored by all sorts of people far too many times.
This caused him serious dissatisfaction.
"Hey!"
Hey! Look here!
Shazam flashed in front of Lee Jung, snapped his fingers twice quickly with his right hand, and then shook them.
"Dude, I know you're tough, but why do you always ignore me like everyone else—you're not going to discriminate against people who are big, are you?"
With Shazam's large, fan-like hand constantly waving in front of her, Li Zhen was forced to look at him.
A hint of helplessness appeared in his expression.
Reverse-Flash, being a time traveler, was clearly aware of Shazam's true situation, so he simply stood by with his hands on his hips, watching the spectacle unfold.
"We're going to a world on the verge of destruction, and we're facing a group of incredibly crazy lunatics desperately trying to find a way to survive."
Li Zhen tried to describe the seriousness of the situation more clearly so that Shazam would back down.
"You're a superhero, you've only ever dealt with criminals and supervillains."
"But you have never seen how much potential a civilization can unleash before its destruction, nor do you know what unimaginable means they can use to survive."
"When you stop criminals, they only temporarily lose their freedom; when you defeat supervillains, they only temporarily halt their pursuit of those insane ideologies."
"But the place we're going to next is where we'll be facing a group of remnants of civilization who will never have a life or a future if they don't fight desperately."
Li Zhen took a step forward and poked her finger at the lightning bolt symbol on Shazam's chest.
The crackling magical lightning, stimulated by an external object, violently struck Li Zhen's fingers.
However, the latter seemed completely oblivious.
Shazam looked somewhat dazed. Despite being a head taller and three times thicker than Li Zhen, he was forced to take several steps back by Li Zhen's imposing aura.
"To put it simply, it's a parallel universe. What if you saw your closest relative in this world... or even another version of yourself!"
"They're also on the opposite side of this world. They're willing to charge at you with weapons to stop you from rescuing the Flash and taking away their hope!"
"Can you summon your magical lightning in front of them, in front of your own face?"
Shazam's mouth opened and closed dryly a couple of times as he stared blankly at Lee Jung, then looked at Reverse-Flash.
Li Zhen could tell at a glance that Shazam was still making a last-ditch effort, trying to throw the same question back at him and Reverse Flash.
"What are you trying to say?"
Li Zhen sneered, spread her arms, pointed at herself, and then at Ni Shan.
"We can attack outsiders and people from the future without any scruples."
Just when Li Zhen thought he had completely convinced Shazam.
A glint of wisdom, as if possessed, suddenly appeared in the eyes of this big, simple man.
"So perhaps that's why Batman called me here—to stop you two from destroying that world in order to achieve your goals through the most convenient means."
Li Zhen was stunned and looked at Batman with some confusion.
Batman's deep voice echoed in the cave.
"I said from the beginning that I wanted to prevent you from committing acts of world destruction and slaughter in that world in order to achieve your goals."
At first, Li Zhen almost couldn't help but swear.
Batman's statement is utterly absurd. Faced with this existential crisis that resembles the extinction of a race, why would this legendary man be so merciful?
But then a chilling possibility came to his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhen, filled with a sense of fear, took out the letter from her bosom that she had originally planned to deliver a few more days later.
"How many surveillance devices have you actually installed in Metropolitan Area?"
Batman remained silent, but finally couldn't help but fix his gaze on the letter.
Lee Jung swore that this was his second life, whether it was in fictional anime, comics, or movies, or in reality.
This is the first time I've seen this man lose his composure like this.
Li Zhen clutched the envelope, her heart filled with a thousand complex thoughts and various questions, which ultimately turned into a silent sigh.
He handed the envelope to Bruce.
Li Zhen wanted to ask a question.
When did the other person become certain that he knew Bruce Wayne was Batman?
But the words that came out of his mouth changed completely.
"You knew your father and mother lived in that world, yet you still agreed to let me and Reverse-Flash go there to take the Flash away?"
Bruce silently accepted the letter.
Batman then pulled out a brand new envelope and handed it to Li Zhen, along with four watch-like devices.
"At first, I only considered the possibility, until I saw that you had received this letter. Yes, this is a locator carrying the signal of this world. If any of you encounter an unpredictable and desperate situation, you can activate your respective locator devices first, and I will directly guide you back."
"So you're not just being soft-hearted, you're a madman a million times more schizophrenic than me!"
Li Zhen carefully put the envelope from Bruce away, clutching the four watches, then took two steps back as if staring at some incomprehensible unknown species.
God himself sent two executioners to the world of his living parents, which he had longed for all his life.
Even if it's just an isotope.
Li Zhen felt it was impossible for her to do such a thing.
He turned to look at Reverse Lightning.
Reverse Flash's expression was unreadable; he simply mouthed the pronunciation of a single word to him.
"Monster!"
Bruce's voice came from behind Li Zhen, carrying a plea that could only be barely caught by someone with superhuman hearing.
"Rescue the Flash, but please don't destroy that world prematurely, okay?"
This time, Li Zhen remained silent for a long time.
Rescuing the Flash is no different from destroying that world.
"Sure, but let me make it clear beforehand: if Shazam insists on coming along, and if he causes any trouble, I will abandon him without hesitation."
Shazam's voice responded quickly.
"I am ready."
Li Zhen pursed her lips and tossed one of the watches to Shazam.
Reverse-Lightning has finally stepped onto the cosmic treadmill.
As the speedster raced forward, red lightning began to flash incessantly, illuminating the pitch-black bat cave in its entirety.
Li Zhen's eyes were clearly unfocused as she aimlessly scanned the space.
Occasionally, as Li Zhen passed by Batman, who was still clutching the bloodstained envelope, she suddenly felt a genuine sense of awe for this ordinary man for the first time.
A cross-dimensional portal, torn open by the speed force, appeared in the center of the converging energy.
Once the door had completely stabilized, the energy in the Batcave began to replace Reverse-Flash's Speed Force and sustain itself, causing Reverse-Flash to instantly jump off the cosmic treadmill.
Li Zhen tossed out the second watch.
Shazam's tone returned to its previous goofy and optimistic self, and he patted Li Zhen on the shoulder.
"Let's go."
Before silently stepping into the portal, Li Zhen couldn't help but ask Batman, who stood there like a wooden statue, one last question.
"You know, if you just replace me with someone else, they'll only be focused on rescuing the Flash. Sending a Shazam to keep an eye on me is pointless."
"But only you can bring the Flash back from that world without hesitation, even if an entire planet's inhabitants kneel on the ground begging you, you won't feel the slightest bit of pity."
Batman's voice was cold and hard, like a machine.
"Anyone else could potentially cause unnecessary trauma to our world due to emotional interference."
