American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Xiu En strode forward and gave the man, who was still wearing tattered armor and reeking of gunpowder and blood, a bear hug!

Of course, he thoughtfully avoided the bone spear still stuck in the other's shoulder.

"Bruce!"

"I knew it! You understand me!"

Bruce's lips twitched slightly.

He wanted to say something.

For example, if you let go, the heat from your body is almost melting my armor.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

He simply raised his hand and patted Xiu En on the back as a response.

After a brief confirmation of camaraderie with his best logistics manager and part-time boss.

Hugh released Bruce and rushed back to Ivy's side.

He took Ivy's hand, his eyes shining with a light brighter than the sun in the Ximu Realm!

"Ivy! Quick! Let's make some plans!"

"Since we're having a party in our own world, it has to have our own style!"

"First, the venue!"

With a wave of his hand, a holographic map of the Ximu Realm unfolded!

"I think it's right in the middle of that biggest field of golden sunflowers! The terrain is open there, the sunlight is the best, and didn't you say the flowers there love being in full bloom?"

Ivy couldn't help but laugh at his almost excited expression.

She nodded, then pointed her finger at the holographic map.

"Can."

"However, the soil in the center of the flower field is quite loose. If you want to build a dance floor and banquet platform, you'll need to use your metal element to reinforce the foundation beforehand."

She drew a circle in another part of the map.

"We can set up the dessert area in the dandelion field next door. The dandelion seeds glow at night and can serve as natural decorative lights."

"Yes! Yes! This is good!"

"That's settled then! I'll take care of reinforcing the foundation! And you're in charge of the lighting for the dessert area!"

Louise, nestled in Clark's arms, tilted her head back and asked longingly, "Clark, what would it feel like to dance in a field of sunflowers?"

Clark looked down at his lover's hopeful face, and his heart almost melted.

"I have no idea."

"But I bet that would be even more romantic than taking a walk on the moon."

"Then you have to be the first to ask me to dance!"

"certainly."

Clark laughed.

"Always."

"The venue is all set! Now it's time for the guests!"

Xiu En continued to demonstrate his ability to take action.

"First of all! We definitely need to invite the core members of the Justice League! Diana, Barry, Arthur, and Victor! Oh, and that Green Lantern too, I need to send a clone to Zamalen to drag him back from that harem!"

"Hal will come."

Bruce suddenly spoke up.

He pointed to the communicator on his helmet.

"They will all be there."

"Well done, Bruce!"

Xiu En praised him and gave him a thumbs up.

"So, what do you think? Should we invite Constantine?"

"He'll come by himself."

"As long as he smells the free magic wine."

"What about Kamar-Taj?"

Xiu En asked again.

"Gu Yi will decide for herself whether or not to end her vacation early."

Ivy added softly from the side.

"As for Strange and Wang, I think we can invite them. Consider it an exchange activity between our Dawnwood Realm and Kamar-Taj."

"Great idea!"

"I've already thought of a name! It'll be called the First Multiverse Peace and Development Friendship Exchange Tea Party!"

"Ahem!"

Louise watched the two of them having a very serious discussion.

She felt that if she didn't interrupt, she would faint from information overload.

Excuse me, could you spare me a moment?

"Mr. Shum, Mr. Bruce, since it's a party, would you like the media to provide full coverage?"

Her eyes sparkled!

For example.

She took out her voice recorder and press pass from her pocket.

"A global media outlet like the Daily Planet, with leading sales and unparalleled credibility—this is your company, you would surely agree, right!?"

Bruce gave her a look as if she were an idiot, then turned back to examine the wounds on his armor.

Xiu En smiled.

"Of course we need it!"

"However, it's not you reporting on us. Rather, it's you and Clark, as the stars of our party today, granting us an exclusive interview!"

"You'll write the article, and I'll provide the illustrations! I guarantee every single photo will have a mythical, epic quality! You'll be swarming with Pulitzer Prizes next year!"

In a joyful and peaceful atmosphere of party planning.

Xiu En seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Bruce."

He pointed to the other person's shoulder.

"Before the party starts, I think we should probably fix your traffic problem first?"

"Look at you, there's still half a spear stuck in there. It wouldn't be good if you accidentally poked some flowers or plants while you're dancing."

Bruce looked down at the bone spear embedded in his body, which emanated a dark, fel-like aura.

I looked up again at Xiu En's face, which was full of how considerate I was.

He was silent for two seconds.

Then he said it in an even more resigned tone than when he was eating the pie.

"No."

"I think it's fine; it can be used as a decoration."

Bruce, seeing that his joke hadn't elicited any reaction from Shuen, offered an explanation.

"I'll take it off when I get to Afu's place."

Shuen didn't insist. He put his arm around Ivy's waist, and with his other hand, he placed it on Bruce's shoulder armor, where the bone spear was still stuck, and whispered something.

"I'm gone."

The next second, a flash of golden light, and everyone was teleported away.

The scene shifted to the underground dressing room of Wayne Manor.

Wow.

Louise looked at the wardrobe in front of her, which was filled with all kinds of haute couture dresses and tactical equipment, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

They were greeted by Alfred, who had been waiting there all along.

This meticulous old butler merely raised an eyebrow at Bruce's battered armor and the bone spear on his shoulder, then spoke in a tone as if he hadn't seen anything at all:

Welcome home.

"The ceremonial attire and banquet ingredients are ready to be transported to the Ximu Realm at any time."

His efficiency was so high that Louise, who was standing nearby, even wondered if Alfred also possessed some kind of superpower that could manipulate time.

With the help of Afona's almost omnipotent butler service, everyone changed into their most appropriate celebratory attire.

God knows why Bruce's wardrobe contains these perfectly sized clothes.

Bruce's battle-damaged armor and the bone spear on his shoulder had been removed and treated by a professional medical robotic arm, and he changed into a suit.

When everything is ready.

Xiu En took Ivy's hand again.

This time, a gate of light, composed of countless sunflower petals, was depicted before them.

"Let's go."

Welcome to my world.

Pass through the portal of light.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a seemingly boundless golden ocean!

Millions of golden sunflowers face the sun. They are not Ivy herself, but a new variety that Ivy cultivated in imitation of her own clone, which can provide energy and sunlight for plants.

Under the ever-shining sun of Ximu Realm, sunflowers sway in the gentle breeze, unfurling their golden flower heads.

In the very center of the sea of ​​flowers, a huge circular platform stands out from nowhere.

The long banquet table on the platform was already covered with a clean white tablecloth.

Afu and his team of housekeeping robots are methodically arranging plates of steaming, exquisite meals and sparkling crystal glasses.

This is the scene of the party.

An eternal garden.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, teleportation portals of different colors opened around the banquet platform!

"Hey! Shum! Bruce! What are you guys doing, making such a big fuss?!"

A streak of red lightning shot out from the first passage! Barry Allen appeared at the dining table with a loud bang, followed by a red-haired boy in the same red uniform, Wally West.

"Wow! It smells so good! It must have been made by Afu, right?!"

Before Barry could finish speaking, his figure and Wally's figure had already turned into two blurry red afterimages, and began to shuttle back and forth on the long dessert table!

Ah Fu watched the tea and snacks disappear at a visible speed and could only sigh helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, a green light descended from the sky.

Hal Jordan landed on the platform with Diana, Arthur, and Victor.

"What did I say again?"

Hal looked at Xiu En with an expression that said, "I knew it."

"With something like this happening, how could you not invite me?"

The children and staff of the orphanage, along with Black Gold and Little Black Dot, gradually entered the scene. Joestar and Alvin were also present.

Then, Strange peeked out from a portal. Seeing the gentle sun overhead, they finally stepped out with relief.

John Constantine, with a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, also sauntered out.

He glanced at the mountain of fine wines and delicacies piled up in the distance.

He spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and ground it with the toe of his foot.

"Thank God, thank Satan. I can save some money on food today."

As he said this, a Marvel Lucifer who didn't recognize Constantine glanced at him. Constantine nodded to him, then seemed to notice the demonic aura emanating from him and gave an awkward laugh.

The entire Ximu Realm was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Lois sent Hal flying into the sky. She commanded the powerful Green Lantern, using his willpower to set off a grand celebratory fireworks display against the backdrop of the sunset that Xiu had specially prepared for this event in Dawnwood!

A moment later, it's a silhouette of Clark, made of green light, embracing herself!

A moment later, it transformed into a silhouette of a golden sun and a sunflower nestled together!

A moment later, it transformed into a silhouette of a golden sun and a sunflower nestled together!

The dazzling light illuminated the entire sunflower field, making it a kaleidoscope of colors!

"Louise! That's enough!"

Hal protested loudly from the sky, but his body still kept setting off fireworks.

"Let me tell you! My ring is for maintaining cosmic peace! Not for you to use as a photo editing app!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Louise's voice was louder than his.

"Hurry! Next one! I want one of me in my wedding dress and Clark in his tuxedo, exchanging vows in a church! The composition needs to be romantic! And the background music, give me the wedding march!"

Hal: "..."

Meanwhile, in another corner of the platform.

"roar--!"

Solomon, the immortal giant with the mind of a child, used all his strength to try to press down his mountain-like arms!

Opposite him, a stone golem of equal size, made of hard orange rock, roared in defiance!

"Hey! You big oaf! You're surprisingly strong!"

Ben Graeme, one of the Fantastic Four from the Marvel Universe.

Bruce also invited him along this time.

Two powerful giants from different universes are currently having an arm-wrestling match!

A crowd of onlookers, eager for a good show, surrounded them.

Arthur was holding a huge mug of draft beer, drinking it while loudly cheering for Solomon!

"Go! Grandi! Take him down! Let him know! The muscles of our universe are the toughest!"

Meanwhile, Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, was engulfed in flames, flying through the air and cheering on his teammates!

"Come on, Ben! Show him the same spirit you had when you fought Doctor Doom! Let him see how powerful we are!"

At the very center of these noisy party scenes,

Xiu En looked at the lively, even somewhat chaotic scene before him, a satisfied smile on his face.

Ivy was sitting next to him.

She held the bouquet of golden roses, gazing at the distant sunflower field, her eyes reflecting the golden light, lost in thought.

On the other side were Clark and Louise.

Louise was rapidly jotting something down in a small notebook.

Her face was beaming with happiness, and her eyes sparkled with the light a journalist would have when she uncovered a sensational story.

Clark held a glass of orange juice in one hand and carefully protected the velvet box containing the ring in his pocket with the other. He looked at his friends, his blue eyes filled with warmth and joy.

Finally, there's Bruce.

He sat alone in the far corner of the tea table, holding a cup of extremely bitter black coffee.

He said nothing, silently scanning everyone present, making sure that this rare and joyous party wouldn't go awry.
