Miss Serena's daily rent collection in American comics

Selina, who had mocked a bunch of people, was still in a lazy state, without any change. But Diana's pressure was about to reach the threshold. First of all, the other party was a god. Secondly, the group of gods in the impression of the female hero were not good people. Then, all of Batman's actions were seen by the other party. This omniscient and omnipotent look gave her an unusually high sense of oppression. And Batman dared to offend such a being...

"If you feel that you have been betrayed by the little bat, then I allow you to give him a good beating when you see him."

Seeing Diana's expression almost unable to maintain, Serena smiled slightly. This was not the first time she had done something similar. The last time she did this, she successfully tricked out the outsider, the Polygamous Person. So she knew very well that the best way to break the chain of suspicion was to bring the other party into a larger chain of suspicion.

"Because I know very well that he has no intention of giving me the Anti-Life Equation, and the purpose of my coming to this universe is not the Anti-Life Equation. Its existence is probably just a good-looking collection in my warehouse. Compared with those dispensable things, we are more keen to explore this new multiverse. And now, our goal has been achieved. We now know much more about this world than you who live here. For this reason, it is not a bad idea to give you a brand new universe."

Selina was telling the truth. For the multi-characters, the most valuable existence was not the Anti-Life Equation, but Bruce Wayne, who was the key. In the world of Heroes' Death, he opened a door to the DC omnipotent universe for them. The Anti-Life Equation was not a necessity even for her. But without the universe she had given them, the fate of these heroes and survivors was unknown...

"I'm traveling now, so it's normal to bring my family with me."

Seeing Diana suddenly understand something and showing a horrified look on the spot, Selina spread her hands and said that she was innocent. After all, Batman almost tricked her. Because Superman's nonsense that he flew over when he heard Batman's heartbeat disappear was what really made her realize the key to the problem.

As we all know, there is only a river between Gotham and Metropolis, which is common sense in the world of N52. The straight-line distance between Kansas and New York is about 1700 kilometers.

So now, here comes the problem.

A Kryptonian who can fly around the world in just 0.0032 seconds. How long does it take to get from Metropolis to Gotham?

A: Definitely faster than the Flash running from Central City, because as we all know, the fastest man is always late...

"But you told Bruce that the virus caused by the Anti-Life Equation is incurable, but Cyborg has not turned into a corpse. He is now just Patient Zero, so it is entirely possible that we can use him as a dose of serum."

Seeing that the alliance's actions were completely exposed, Diana could only bite the bullet and speak.

"That's why I say that you don't understand the world you live in. You still have only a limited understanding of the multiverse you live in."

Hearing this, Selena just shook her head.

"If you have heard of the names of the Dark Multiverse and Fijianet, you should know clearly what these changes that have taken place now mean for the super time stream. If I hadn't come, then no Bruce Wayne in any timeline would have survived tonight. If I had come, then the timeline here would have changed and would have begun to fall towards the Dark Multiverse. But the existence of the super time stream is not only to allow supermen of different eras to coexist with each other and preserve the various stages of the multiverse, but also to ensure that these universes will eventually reach their original endings, which is the so-called destiny."

After these words came out, Diana was stunned for a moment.

"That's why I said your world has no future. If you don't choose to leave and enter a brand new universe, then no matter how you modify the process, the ending will not change. In order to prevent this world from falling into the dark multiverse and causing the course of history to be rewritten, the super-time stream will force everything to return to the starting point. Those who have died will die again. Those who have survived will continue to live. Until everything reaches a predetermined ending. It will repeat itself in this way, and it will be preserved as a part of the super-time stream."

"That tiny part of the whole called the multiverse..."

Chapter 18 A Hopeless Future

Because the truth that Selina told was so shocking and explosive, Batman, who had been eavesdropping, had to summon all the members of the Justice League into the Hall of Mind to hold another meeting.

"So is all this fate? Bruce didn't die, so something happened to Damian. I saved Jonathan, but Martha and Joe became victims. No matter what we change, the ending will always be the same? This may be the funniest joke I have ever heard since I was born. It seems to be mocking all our efforts..."

Clark, who learned about the concept of super-time flow from Bruce, was a little overwhelmed at this time. According to the uninvited god, in the original history, Jonathan Kent would be infected, and then he was heartbroken and chose to lock him up in the basement of the barn. And he was eventually killed in the battle with the infected Barry. The future Justice League will be led by Damian Wayne and his son Jonathan Kent Jr. But now, he returned to the farm to save Jonathan who was supposed to be infected, but in the end, the people who suffered were Joe and Martha!

Although Damian was present at the time, the speed of the Kryptonians was much faster than that of ordinary humans. At that moment, Damian, who should have been safe and sound, became the dead souls in Joe's mouth along with Martha. Until now, his son is still frantically attacking the survivors around the world...

"But it's not too late now. We should be able to remedy the situation. Wasn't Cyborg controlled by the Anti-Life Equation? This means that the virus is not without an antidote, but we just haven't found it yet."

The Flash was optimistic, but the Justice League was already downsized. Since it was not certain whether this thing would spread through the telepathic channel, Cyborg, the patient zero, had not been able to join the meeting. And within just half an hour, Atlantis was also infected, and the entire ocean was filled with various creatures controlled by the anti-life equation. Even Arthur himself was now in danger.

"Remedy? How can we remedy it? If the records in the Book of Oa are correct, the more we do now, the greater the deviation from the original history, and the faster the reckoning will come! From the moment Batman brought that god into our universe, everything is too late! No matter what we do, the best result is that we will be reset by the super time flow and start all over again."

Hal Jordan, who is still in Oa, immediately reported what happened on Earth to the group of blue men. But in the end, the information he found was almost the same as the conclusion Batman had told him from the goddess. Batman can be smart for a while, but he can't be smart forever. He felt that the uninvited god had already grasped the weakness of the alliance, but Batman himself foolishly thought that he could play with the other party...

"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. We must find a solution quickly and not make things worse. But Hal is right about one thing, Bruce, you really have brought us back a huge trouble."

Diana held her forehead with a look of pain. It's okay to sign a contract with God, but if you don't, the scene will definitely not be good. At the first meeting, when she heard Batman really bring people back, she instinctively felt that this matter would be very troublesome. As a result, now that the problem of the super time flow has been discovered, she realized that this is more than just trouble! The other party had already decided the matter when he saw Bruce. Regardless of whether the Justice League will fulfill the contract in the future, even if the two parties only agreed verbally. As long as the other party comes here, they have to complete it.

Even if they didn't do it, their real purpose had already been accomplished. They were just going to take a ride with Batman and enter their multiverse! The anti-life equation that the goddess asked for was just the prize for this trip...

But the price of the Anti-Life Equation was already a very high offer to Bruce at the time. That's why he thought the deal was feasible. After all, the Anti-Life Equation is everywhere on Earth now. You can get it, but how you get it is your own business and is not part of the deal. Because this thing is everywhere now, we mortals can't do anything with it, so it should be normal for you, a god, to get it yourself.

But the result?

Even Batman himself could not have expected that he would fail miserably in such a matter...

"My fault. I didn't realize that omniscience and omnipotence could exist. I was playing word games, but everything I did was one-way transparent to that god. This was the biggest mistake in my plan."

Bruce's expression did not improve after hearing what Wonder Woman said. He knew very well that he had really screwed up this time. He had made a mistake of preconceived ideas and used the same method he had used to deal with Darkseid and the New Gods in the wrong place, which caused the problem to fall into the abyss completely. All of this was caused by the slippery slope fallacy!

"The New Gods are the New Gods, Apokolips is Apokolips, and Darkseid is Darkseid. But Apokolips is not the New Genesis, and Darkseid is not the Father. This should be a very simple truth, but you used it in the wrong place."

Martian Manhunter, who had always been a background figure, also sighed at this moment. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused. At that time, no matter which member of the Justice League was in charge, he would not have done much better than Batman. So he actually knew that it was meaningless to discuss these things now. But they could not come up with a solution to the problem for a while. That's why everyone could only blame Batman first. As for the subsequent events, they were all awkward.

"What's the situation with Zatanna and Shazam? Can the magical world solve this crisis?"

Batman asked after everyone fell silent again. Normally, he would not touch these mysterious things. But now, the situation was obviously unusual.

"We lost contact with the Rock of Eternity in the early stages of the infection. Those wizards and the group of gods seemed to want to stay out of the crisis. They simply closed off their own domain, just like they did in previous crises. Regardless... whether these things were caused by them or not."

As soon as this was said, the problem instantly returned to the starting point...

(PS: I’m so hungry! Without money, my tails will starve to death!)

Chapter 19: The Justice League Can Only Compromise

"What about The Quintessence? Are they choosing to sit on the sidelines this time as well?"

Clark frowned, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with this answer. Those wizards and the old gods kept saying that they would protect the world, but every time the world went wrong, or they caused a problem, they would eventually pat their butts and leave, leaving the mess to the Justice League and other hero teams.

This is not the first time they have done this. Now that the Anti-Life Equation has caused such a big trouble, they have not stepped forward to solve it, and are not even willing to help...

"The Rock of Eternity has no reaction, so the Essence Society may not be able to protect itself now. Even Darkseid can be infected, so the members of the Essence Society must be at risk of infection. Moreover, their power is still too weak in front of the Anti-Life Equation, let alone compared with the goddess. If the Miracle Machine (Geh-Jedollah-The Absolute) is still there, we should still have a chance, but that thing may not even know where the Mobius Chair is now, let alone get it."

As a person who has been preparing many contingency plans for many years, Batman actually knows a lot about the good things in this universe and even other universes. But he is not sure whether the miracle machine, which the Flash learned from other earths when traveling through the world, exists in his universe. If it does, then they do have a chance to turn things around. If not, then they may have to fulfill the contract and wait for the uninvited god to give them a new universe...

"Actually... I think it might not be a bad idea to live in a different universe."

Seeing that everyone understood what was going on, Barry, who had always been a good guy, could only raise his hand and be a bad guy for once. He knew that for some things, someone had to take the lead and set an example.

"Of course we all know that this may be the best solution, but Barry, we can't afford such a big bargaining chip! Do you know how big a universe is? This is not proportional to what we have paid. Obviously, the goddess has never thought of getting all the value back from us. If we agree to this deal now for convenience, what do you think the multiverse will become?"

However, Hal Jordan, as a good friend, directly denied Barry's idea. As a member of the Lantern Corps, he knew how big the universe was. Even though the Lantern Corps divided it into 3600 sectors and deployed different Lanterns, the actual situation is that only the Milky Way is the real patrol range of the Green Lantern Corps! Beyond this area, the number of Lantern Corps members in other sectors is not small.

There are even cases where a Lantern has to patrol a star field that spans hundreds of thousands of light years. This is an extremely outrageous situation. This is why the armies of other colored lanterns can continue to grow, and the guardians can do nothing about it...

"But even if we don't agree to this deal, we have no way to stop the other party from doing anything to the multiverse."

When these words were spoken, all the members of the Justice League, including Batman, were stunned.

"You... seem to have misunderstood one issue from the beginning. Whatever the goddess wants to do to the multiverse, she doesn't need our consent at all! Since she has come to this multiverse with Bruce, no matter what she and her friends want to do, it has nothing to do with us! Even now, they may have been doing something here. Otherwise, how could she be so familiar with our universe? If Hal hadn't reported the issue of the super-time stream to the Guardians to inquire about the Book of Oa, I'm afraid no one here would know."

Without a doubt, this is another slippery slope. The previous accusations against Bruce and the deal between him and the god successfully led the other members of the League astray, causing them to fall into the same problem as Batman before. Whatever Selina wants to do with the multiverse, it is her business. Even if the Justice League does not make a deal, they have no right to intervene. Taking action against the multiverse is not something that will only happen after they agree to the deal...

“That’s why I say this problem is common in white society. You’ve been poisoned by Jewish culture for too long.”

The sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of all the alliance members. They turned around in disbelief and looked at the existence that should not be there, with each expression more exaggerated than the other.

"What? Are you surprised by my appearance? You have to understand that the world we see is fundamentally different. In my eyes, people living in the material world are just lines that extend forward in time. They are like insects living in the cracks of matter. They are a dot at the beginning, and after a long period of growth, they disappear completely. They cannot go back, and every step forward is a journey through the long river of time. Where will they end up? Where will they go? All of this is a messy and disorderly spread."

Leaning lazily on the conference table in the Palace of the Soul, Selina didn't want to waste all her time listening to this group of people's endless arguments.

"That is a wonderful perspective that is absolutely different from that of all living things in the universe. The meaning of life cannot be answered here. Instead, the imprint of time becomes deeper and deeper, and has a long and lasting origin..."

So she decided to intervene directly in the meeting, speed up the process and define the event in her own way.

"I am fundamentally different from the God you know. I do not represent a certain phenomenon in the universe, or the embodiment of a certain force. If you must ask me, then I can only tell you... I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am the Beginning and the End. I am One, I am All. I am the metaphysical, I am the physical. I see through many eyes, I create with many hands. What kind of God I am depends on your point of view. I can be any God in this world, or any God in this world is my incarnation. It is my thought, my will, and the extension of my influence."

As she spoke, Selina extended a hand to everyone. Thanks to the fact that this is a world made of the mind, the polymorphs can easily do things that they would never dare to think of in the material world.

"Look."

What caught the eyes of the Zhenglian was a scene of creation with suns and stars bursting out...

(PS: I secretly took out a bowl, propped it up with chopsticks, and put the tail on it, trying to trap the wild readers.)

(PS2: Caught readers must leave tickets before leaving!)

Chapter 20 The Eve of Creation

"Ugh..."

Bruce, Barry and others, who were ordinary people, only felt that the scene was shocking. However, Ron, Clark and Diana, who had superhuman senses, covered their eyes in an instant and groaned in pain.

The excitement that the scene of creation brought to them was far beyond their imagination.

After just staring for a second, the huge amount of information rushed directly into their minds. If they hadn't reacted quickly enough, the three people's heads might have exploded on the spot!

"It's just... a picture... how could it be..."

Diana stumbled and squeezed out intermittent words from her mouth. Although it was just a very ordinary picture, at that moment, she really felt the heat from the birth of the universe from that picture! Every star that had not yet gathered hit her eyes with a narrow tail. Even if it was only for a second, she saw the birth of the earth. From the initial scorched earth until everything cooled down. Her nose could even smell the smell of newspaper ink mixed with cigar smoke coming from the streets of Washington in the 21st century. She could even taste the sweet cotton candy with the fragrance of food coloring in the hands of children on the roadside!

Until everything began to collapse, she could hear the cries of the 32 victims infected by the anti-life virus at the beginning of the disaster. They pounced on the living people around them, tore their bodies apart, and the smell of iron splashed from the wounds...

The cold blood seemed to have actually hit her face, leaving behind a trace of pain that was still slightly warm.

The pain from death was heart-wrenching, but it was different from the injuries she had suffered before. It was as if claws had really broken out of her body and smeared there.

"Is this...the end...of us?"

Clark's condition was much better than Diana's. Thanks to the peculiar physiological structure of Kryptonians, his super brain successfully processed the fleeting picture and some of the information it contained. However, what he saw was not consistent with what Diana saw. It was a universe as cold and dead as a cemetery, empty and without a trace of life. Although everything was composed of a static image of more than 20 bytes, his brain still processed more than one hundred and fifty thousandth of the information.

But in the end, his super brain came to this conclusion.

That was their battle against the Anti-Life Virus...and they lost.

The ancient god named Erebus possessed the body of the infected troublemaker, and the entire multiverse was doomed. Ares told them this news, and he found a record of this great war in a certain universe that had already fallen. At the same time, they also got a more shocking fact.

That is this universe...it has been restarted many times under the influence of the super time flow!

Otherwise, Ares would never have been able to bring back records of this battle from other universes...

"The virus... the virus can still be saved... your previous guess was correct... Cyborg is the key!"

However, Ron, a Martian, saw a fleeting hope in this endless despair. Unlike the other two, he saw the antidote to cure the anti-life virus...

"But that thing is useless! The troublemaker has been infected, and we are no match for him! Ares found records of this battle from other universes, and our world has been restarted once by the super time stream!"

Unfortunately, that hope did not last long, as Clark crushed it himself. He knew that others might not be able to process the more information contained in the picture like he did. Only he knew what the end of this battle would be.

"I...I can agree to a deal with you, but I have one more request."

Clark was breathing heavily, obviously not yet recovered from the extremely shocking scene. The terrifying amount of information was too much even for a Kryptonian's body.

"Clark!"

Such a huge contrast between the before and after scared Batman so much that he quickly shouted.

"Rescue those people who should not have died in history, my son, my father, and Damian... This universe is indeed beyond salvation! As for what you want to take, it's up to you."
