I, V, Gotham Legend

Digital rain falls on this space and merges back into this code.

"What?!" The woman was very surprised. She was mentally prepared to be blocked, but she was not prepared to be blocked so easily.

Valerie was even more surprised. She had studied with Barbara and other hacker masters for several months, but she had never been able to understand the code as well as she could now.

Her current intelligence is as high as ten, and she had no idea about the number on the panel before this moment.

On the panel of 2077, level ten is already the limit that an ordinary person without prosthetics can achieve in his or her lifetime. Going above that is only for geniuses among geniuses.

"I'm just not familiar with this space, and even less familiar with this number! Come again!" the woman screamed.

"No, your mission is accomplished." Valerie waved her hand, and the data that made up the tall woman immediately shattered to the ground.

Valerie had a slight guess that perhaps this cyberspace was the materialization of the server's data, but it was still her own abilities that constituted this space.

She remembered a plot in the game 2077 where Johnny Silverhand, who shared a brain with V, had a girlfriend named Ultra who was captured by the Arasaka Corporation. Her consciousness was taken away and copied into cyberspace.

When they saw Ultra again, she had become the manager of cyberspace, but the price was that her self-consciousness was almost assimilated with cyberspace, leaving only a name and a voice.

Transforming from one person into another is a very popular theme in cyberpunk works.

Valerie now feels that she is tending to become a manager in this cyberspace.

Although this cyberspace is very different from the game, the flowing data and emotionless space still make Valerie feel uneasy. She absolutely does not want to become a person like Riot in the game.

From this point of view, it is not a good thing to have too much contact with cyberspace now. Perhaps it would be better to wait until your intelligence is higher, at least level 15, before analyzing this space.

Although Valerie thinks that different networks should represent different spaces, otherwise she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to contact the servers one by one.

Perhaps the simple confrontation just now gave Valerie some new insights, and she pulled up the virus again to make further adjustments.

……

The big crack on the earth is still maintained, and Darkseid's men have brought in a lot of people for sacrifice.

In a solemn palace on Apocalypse Star at the other end of the space, a red-skinned woman sitting on the steps suddenly opened her eyes. She moved so violently that the ring on her head fell to the ground.

"What did you see?" Seeing the woman open her eyes, an old lady with a straight back standing beside her asked with a smile.

"Sorry... I've arrived at a place... It's hard to describe, it's like a completely different world!" Hearing the old lady's voice, the woman was so frightened that her body straightened.

"Didn't we ask you to remotely connect to the exploration ship's server?" The kind grandmother opened her scarlet eyes.

The woman was twice as tall as the kind grandmother, but she was frightened by her eyes and shrank back: "Yes... I sneaked into the connection... But I got there... I'm sorry, I can't explain it clearly, and she threw me out."

"she?"

"A very small person made up of symbols. She should be a female native of the earth." said the woman.

"You mean to say that an Earthling dumped you out like a rotten fish on the Internet?" The kind grandmother chuckled, "She is the culprit that the master said caused the exploration fleet to kill each other, right?"

Darkseid somehow let his subordinates know the current situation.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm almost certain she's still on the spaceship!" The woman immediately tensed up and said, "She doesn't have our Apocalypse key ring. She can only rely on a physical connection to access the spaceship's server."

The head ring refers to the circle that fell on the ground. She originally wanted to access the main ship server through the ring and was ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the anti-life equation.

"So she's still here? That's great. The Nemesis team has already reached space, right? Let them go meet this guest." The kind grandmother clapped her hands and said.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, we will kill her."

"Kill you? What are you talking about?" The kind grandmother showed her blackened teeth. "She kicked you out like a dog, and she was quite appreciated by the master... She can definitely become a member of our Goddess of Vengeance team."

"She? You want her to join Apocalypse?" The woman was panicked.

"Of course." The kind grandmother waved her hand, and a black beast head fell from the sky and bit the woman who hadn't reacted yet. Blood spurted all over the floor in an instant. "You loser are no longer qualified to stand behind Darkseid."

……

The small lifeboat swayed and dodged the hail of bullets, floating towards the secret base space station hanging high in the distance.

Wonder Woman has no idea how to fly a spaceship, so she was extremely lucky to be able to return to the space station with a ship full of hostages.

Fortunately, after checking the server, Valerie already knew the location of the hostages on each spaceship. She only needed to find the place first, and then summon the hovercraft with Old Joe to transport the people away. This saved Wonder Woman from having to go back and forth too many times.

Just before the spacecraft was about to pass through the laser's protective shield and cross back to the square of the space station, Wonder Woman suddenly noticed a person floating not far away.

It looked like a silver-haired woman, holding a cane that was taller than she was.

Wonder Woman looked back at the group of skinny aliens who were so weak that they couldn't even stand up. She did not choose to confront them head-on immediately. It would be better to send the hostages back to the space station first.

But the silver-haired woman was not going to let her go, and she approached Wonder Woman's lifeboat very quickly.

She raised her staff forward, electricity swirling around it.

Wonder Woman frantically pressed buttons on the lifeboat's operating panel, trying to summon the same cannons as on other spaceships to fight back.

But she didn't know which button she pressed by mistake, and the spacecraft suddenly accelerated, like a bullet, and was about to hit the protective shield.

As if it had been prepared in advance, the translucent yellow protective cover was opened in advance, and the lifeboat rushed into the airspace of the space station, spinning like a deflated balloon.

The silver-haired woman wanted to catch up, but she couldn't keep up with the speed at which the protective shield healed, and she was flung away by the extremely high voltage.

The lifeboat made a hard landing in the square of the space station, and Wonder Woman immediately climbed out of it. She drew her weapon and looked at the woman outside through the protective shield...

……

Green Lantern operated the Fantasy Mech and slapped the woman in red armor like a mosquito.

The woman did not dodge. She raised her hand and held up the giant mechanical claw that Green Lantern was slapping at her as if she was lifting a weight.

Cold sweat broke out on Hal Jordan's face. He felt more exhausted than ever before. This woman had already made him feel uncomfortable enough.

A black figure flashed to his side, and a shiny whip was pulled out of her hand, slashing over with the momentum to break the Green Lantern's waist.

After all, Green Lantern was sitting in a fantasy mecha. He controlled the mecha to separate, dodged the attack, and at the same time shot a green missile from his shoulder.

The black figure turned a few times and disappeared from the spot. Green Lantern's missile missed.

Before Green Lantern could stop stiffening, a figure climbed onto his mecha from behind, holding a short crescent-shaped blade in his hand, and tried to wipe Green Lantern's neck.

The back of the Green Lantern mecha popped up like the hood of a car, and the woman was ejected.

In just a moment of distraction, the woman in red armor in front of him broke free from the Green Lantern mecha and rushed towards the Green Lantern's head.

Green Lantern quickly distanced himself, and several translucent machine guns floated beside him, firing at the woman in red armor.

If it's just one enemy, it's not difficult for Green Lantern, and he can still have some strength after fighting two at the same time.

But when three enemies with similar strength differences attacked him at the same time, Green Lantern seemed to be struggling.

"How long do you have? I need support!" Green Lantern finally stopped trying to be brave and asked Valerie through the headset.

There was no answer, which was natural. He could still see the situation in the hole with his peripheral vision. Valerie's upper body was sticking out of the mecha, her head resting on the chassis, sleeping peacefully.

"Well, you have to treat me to a meal when this is over." Green Lantern sighed.

As a bodyguard, he was very responsible in not letting the battlefield get too far away from the hole to make sure no one would go in and affect Valerie.

At this time, Valerie, who was still swimming in cyberspace, did not program anymore. She raised her head blankly, as if looking at something.

No. 26. Ten thousand years ago

Although a decisive battle concerning the future of the planet is taking place on the other side of the earth, and an unprecedented space war is being fought in the universe, the people of Gotham still seem to be living a peaceful life.

The moonlight was obscured by rolling dark clouds, and thousands of lights were on. Everything seemed to be the same as before.

The superhumans descended on the unfinished Arkham City. After thinking for a moment, Joe removed the optical camouflage, allowing the Kryptonian spaceship to appear in the sky.

Seeing the Kryptonian spaceship that had appeared in the asylum incident, the people who stayed in Arkham City were terrified. They realized that something big might have happened.

The news of Apocalypse's invasion had spread throughout Gotham with the live broadcast of the football game. Although news soon showed that the situation was under control, people were still worried.

It was not until they saw the Kryptonian spaceship approaching that the people still in Arkham were sure that something big must have happened.

Fortunately, the media and regulators have not been alarmed yet, so the few superhumans can hurry up and complete their goals.

There's a giant hole in the ground beneath Arkham City, thanks to a certain blue-haired troublemaker who's making the construction time and cost of Arkham City go up several fold.

The Kryptonian spaceship did not land on the ground. It hovered at the same height as the surrounding tall buildings and then opened its hatch.

Batman drove the huge Trailblazer armor, holding the claw in one hand, and jumped into the deep pit along the route.

As the ground expanded in the eye, fire erupted from beneath the pioneer's feet, softening the impact of the landing.

He stopped directly at the bottom of the pit. There were many mines or subway-like tunnels in the distance.

Just like a landing special effect, Batman had just stood on the ground when a flash of lightning flashed beside him and the Flash stood beside him.

"It's so dark here." The Flash looked up at the moon covered by dark clouds and rubbed his hands together.

A streak of light blue lightning crackled across his hand, and it really had a lighting effect.

They waited for a few seconds, and the last Sea King finally landed with a stream of water, which alleviated most of the impact.

Aquaman walked down from the water mass, and the water mass consciously turned into a stream, surrounding his trident.

Aquaman proudly waved the trident in his hand at the Flash, like a child showing off a toy.

The Flash rolled his eyes and turned to look at Batman: "Where do we go next?"

Batman operated the Trailblazer and lifted the Talon's head. "We need you. William."

It was this Talon he was saying, which was the real name of Robin's great-grandfather.

"..." Claw said nothing.

Perhaps it was the nearly one hundred years of silence that had made him almost forget how to express himself.

Batman ignored his reaction and continued, "Take us to the headquarters of the Court of Owls."

There are clues to the Anti-Life Equation in this place, and it was once part of the Court of Owls, so it's hard for Batman not to connect the two.

What he said was a statement, and in his opinion it was not a negotiation, but after going through torture that ordinary people could not imagine, Claw was not afraid of any strong threats.

Batman was silent for a moment, and finally changed his tone: "You just need to show us the way. Take us there. The court no longer exists anyway."

"..." Sharp Claw was not wearing a mask, and a hint of thought flashed across his cloudy eyes. Finally, he raised his hand towards the distance.

Batman held up his claws, like an old man holding a flashlight, and drove the mecha briskly in the direction he pointed.

"It looks like it's very dark in there..." The Flash looked at the end where Batman was heading from afar, where there was a tunnel.

"Aquaman, do you have any lighting? Do you want to follow me closely?" The Flash rubbed his hands and a stream of electricity came out. He turned around to look at Aquaman, but was startled.

Aquaman's eyes turned into vertical pupils like a cat's, and the white pupils gave people a creepy and weird feeling.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's just a little darkness." With that, Aquaman followed Batman.

"It's really... the scientific principle of power..." Having said this, the Flash also took a step forward.

……

In cyberspace, Valerie raised her head and flipped through the code above her head as if she were flipping through a library.

Valerie wanted to stop calculating the system's program as much as possible to avoid being overloaded again.

But just when everything was ready and they could leave as long as they introduced the virus, Valerie suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning.

It wasn't an attack, it was just a minor incident when installing the virus. She had to cross the complex database like an ocean and insert the virus into the deepest part of the server.

But as she skimmed through the mountain of complicated code, Valerie suddenly remembered a detail she had previously overlooked.

Darkseid invaded the Earth tens of thousands of years ago and was eventually defeated. This fleet was left behind at that time.

That means, this mothership should have also experienced the battle in which Darkseid was defeated.

Perhaps it was a spur of the moment, or perhaps it was a flash of inspiration, Valerie suddenly wanted to take a look at the battlefield.

Her feet pierced into the data on the ground, the numbers passed through her body, and she looked up, as if she saw the world changing.

The numbers were spinning around Valerie like a whirlpool. It wasn't that cyberspace was really changing; it was just Valerie's illusion.

She tried to lift her foot and took a step forward, and numbers splashed from her feet like drops of water, blending with the rippling world.

She took a step forward, a distance of less than half a meter, but it spanned tens of thousands of years. The world made up of numbers converged like the modeling in a game.

The world seemed to have color again, and the colors full of vicissitudes spread over the mountains and rivers made up of numbers.

The monotonous world originally composed of green numbers turned into a vast scorched earth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Valerie realized that she was floating a hundred meters in the air, and the ground was covered with thousands of ant-sized iron men.

Some of these were primitive people holding spears and bows and arrows, while others were covered in armor and riding war horses.

What's more eye-catching are the green figures in the air, some of whom are wearing the same tights uniforms as Hal Jordan outside.
