Chapter 1: A New Era
Everyone has something to cherish.
Loved ones, friends, money, power, or those little movies that are on your hard drive.
So, Superman should be the same......
He cherished his wife, children, and the metropolis he had devoted his life to protecting.
However, all of this disappeared at that moment.
And the one who destroys it all with his own hands...... It's himself.
Oh, I know, this matter, in the final analysis, originated from the man who called himself the clown, but this wound that hit the soul was real, poking at Superman's body.
Afterwards, Batman once imprisoned the Joker and asked him why he did it.
And then...... The clown laughed.
He was laughing at the question itself......
"Hahaha – why? That's a tough question...... Let's put it this way, you are walking down the street and there is a can bottle in front of you, and you kick him, you say...... Why is that? Is it standing in your way? Or do you think this can is going to trip you up? Haha, it's neither, so why would you want to kick it? The answer is, no reason is needed. It's like your anger right now...... Louise Lane is dead, Metropolis is gone, and you know no matter how angry you are, it won't help, but ...... You're still going to be angry, there's no reason to ......"
At that time, Batman angrily pulled the collar of the Joker, and he didn't understand why the game between him and himself had to be involved with someone else.
And the answer given by the clown is...... He'd been playing with Batman for too long, and he was always losing, so he was a little tired of it, and this time he felt that it was time to try the easy game, but ...... He forgot that not everyone was as powerful as Batman, so ...... He's a little, a little overdone.
"I'm sorry...... Hahaha, compared to you, it seems a bit ...... to deal with that righteous big boy flying all over the sky It's too easy~~" The clown said: "Once, someone took everything away from you, right? Hehe, I'm the same, although I forget the specific process, but I know that I must have experienced a time when it wasn't very friendly, so, you became you, and I, became me, so what if it was Superman? What will become of that little fool who is actually a god, but who has been deceiving himself and disguised as a human being? Haha-ha———"
With that shrill laugh, a red wind galloped in.
There was a "poof" sound, the sound of steel cutting through the guts and bones.
Superman has rushed in front of the clown at an incomprehensible speed, and Superman can naturally hear the wild laughter just now, so he came, and his anger made him put his hand into the clown's chest, shattering his spine, and running out directly from behind!
The Joker is dead......
Batman looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and he knew that the only explanation for this was that the Joker wanted to die!
Blood flowed from between Superman's fingers.
The laughter stopped......
A new era has begun.
......
......
Years later –
deserted streets......
A cat popped out of the garbage can, holding a piece of leftover ham in its mouth, which was a rare delicacy for it.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, it happily ran towards its nest, and at the same time, it also looked around cautiously to avoid being spotted and preyed upon by other wild cats.
But suddenly, there was a "poof" sound.....
What did the cat bump into.
It shook its head, looked up, and looked at the building in front of it with some confusion.
It's a hospital.
Of course, the cat didn't know the concept of a 'hospital', and it just wondered when the wall came out, because just a second ago, the place was a 'wide avenue'.
"Crunch~"
The door was pushed open, and a bearded, cigarette-smoking man walked out, and he saw the wild cat, which had not yet recovered, kicked it open with empty eyes, and then ...... Took out a black notebook.
The font on it clearly shows the ......
[No cosmic elements detected yet]
Ziliang nodded, and sure enough, the compass that had been upgraded was also much faster than usual to detect things.
Harley Quinn stepped out from behind him, and she sniffed the air around her......
"This place...... It's a little familiar, is it the Metropolis? As she spoke, she frowned: "No, it's a little different, if it's a metropolis, at this time, it must be when the nightlife has just begun, but why is the street so deserted now, it looks like a curfew?" ”
Hannibal's voice came from behind: "I'm surprised that you didn't squeak with excitement when you came to this place, and went to find your little pudding?" ”
"Heh, do you think I'm still that ignorant little girl? I'm a lot more mature now, I want my little pudding, and I don't have any interest in anything else......"
Ziliang nodded: "If you think so, I'm relieved, because, the clown of this plane seems to be dead." ”
Quinn was silent for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders seemingly indifferently.
At this time, Shirley also walked out, and the creepers beside her did not follow her, which made the little girl look a lot more normal, but the little doll she was holding in her hand ...... It's a little uncomfortable to look at.
"Hmm...... Now that we haven't been killed by the cosmic elements you mentioned, does it mean that the shielding ability of the Immortal Coffin has worked? ”
Ziliang shook his head: "No, we can still stand here, which shows two points."
"First, we came earlier than the other cosmic elements, but this doesn't mean that we can escape their lock, I expect that within a maximum of 24 hours, two or three cosmic elements will descend on this plane and start killing us!"
"Uh, what about the second point?"
Ziliang spat out a cigarette: "The second point is very troublesome, it is possible that the cosmic element has come, but the compass has not detected it, this may be a move they designed in advance, so that we can relax our vigilance, and then, slowly play to death for us." ”
"However, if they have already reached this plane, wouldn't it be better to rush over and kill us?"
Ziliang smiled: "As for why we weren't killed directly, there are two explanations. ”
"The first reason is that there are various elements in the universe, some of which are suitable for combat, such as [Strength], even in the fragile plane, they must have the ability to tear the earth apart, but there are also types that are not suitable for fighting, such as [Time], he will erase you from some levels that you can never imagine, for example, when you may not even see him, one carelessly, he fell into the surface of time, and then reversed into a small tadpole, so, The fact that we have not been torn by hand does not mean that we are safe, it can only show that our opponent may not be good at tearing up. ”
"Okay, what about the second point?"
"The second point is very easy to explain, that is, the plane I chose is not the same as the ordinary plane, because there is an existence here that has reached the 'apex of power' that the plane can bear, so it is likely that after those cosmic elements come, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will not be able to run for the time being, anyway, we can't run."
