Chapter 275: The Light Curtain of the Atlantic
Once upon a time, Red also had a prejudice against female drivers -
Until Red meets this entire multiverse, no, maybe the best female driver in the omniverse.
Nymph Sona.
"Already in the DC Universe?"
When Red sees the Met's iconic Planet Daily building, Eve looks a little hard to believe her eyes.
The last time I traveled from the DC Universe to the Runeterras Universe, it took almost a day to use the Dome to cruise automatically.
Originally, Red thought that it would take longer to return home, but what he didn't expect was that with the plucking of Suanna's slender jade hand, the chord of the multiverse obeyed Sauna's drive like Sanhua, and arrived at its destination in less than an hour.
"Could it be that I'm in the wrong place?"
But Sana wrung her fingers a little uneasily and looked at Red worriedly, as her sweet and gentle voice automatically sounded in Red's head.
Red, on the other hand, stepped out of the hatch, his gaze looking into the distance, his expression very solemn.
"Sorry, it's my first time using this one...... The harp is to play the melody by me sensing the destination you imagined, if I go to the wrong place......"
"No, Miss Sana, you've done a good job, according to the Dome's calculations, this is indeed the world named DC Earth 0 - if you were at the helm, the Dome would have taken many fewer detours...... It's like being born to hear the frequency differences of the multiverse. ”
Even the original owner of the Dome, the last watcher of the multiverse, Ji Luovala, was amazed by this.
But not everyone seemed happy that the Dome had arrived so quickly, and Eve looked a little regretful, as if she had just finished taking a shower, her slightly damp hair still scented with shampoo.
"I thought Red would spend the night on the ship, and he got to his destination so quickly......"
"Don't be too disappointed, Former Heroine. With Sauna's ability at the helm beyond our budget, maybe we don't need to be in such a hurry to sail again - I think this is an opportunity to keep the Dome in the universe for a while. ”
Pharaoh Adrian Witt looked at the ice crystal phoenix egg in front of him and said thoughtfully, it seemed that even he had not been able to think of a way to hatch this demigod who had hosted the Yao Room Phoenix.
Hearing this, the disappointment on Eve's face was instantly swept away, and she immediately flew to Red's side.
"So can we stay in this universe for a while, okay, Red!"
"Well, the Dome is going to stay here."
However, unlike Eve's excited expression, Red looked very serious.
"The Dome may be going to be needed again soon."
Eve realized something was wrong, and she followed Red's gaze ahead of her.
I saw that on the sea opposite the metropolitan port, on the other side of the horizon, which was originally endless, something hazy seemed to be erected.
"That's ...... What is it? ”
"I don't know—but it must be a nuisance."
Red sighed lightly, and he looked down at his red light ring.
"Because I and the red light total energy...... As well as other members of the Red Lantern Legion, they were disconnected. ”
——
Although he was a little worried about the people on Paradise Island, Red prioritized the mission of saving Louise's daughter.
After all, although the contact was disconnected, Red could still vaguely sense that everyone in the Red Lantern Legion was still in a safe state, and the current situation was more like being too far away and the signal was not good.
It's like we're separated from a different multiverse.
The good news, though, was that the mission to save that child actually went very well.
"Well, in this case, the danger of this child will be lifted."
Red breathed a sigh of relief, the child's situation was more urgent than he had imagined, and when he brought Krypton's genetic modification device from the Fortress of Solitude in the South Pole to the hospital in the Metropolis through the code provided by Superman, the child's red-light energy was already in a state of near-rampage.
Thankfully, the Walker had been here to help control the baby's red light energy with the blue light energy, so it was enough time for Red.
"Thank you, Red Douglas, for saving Aryria."
Aryria seems to be the name that Louise Lane gave the girl.
It looks like Louise has recovered from her postpartum weakness, but Red is a little embarrassed to face this strong woman.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Miss Louise, I couldn't get your husband ...... Clark brought it back. ”
Hearing Red's words, Louise smiled and shook her head gently.
"He always had a mission of his own – and that's why I fell in love with him."
At the same time, Louise caressed the baby girl who had finally calmed down and could sleep peacefully after genetic therapy.
"Mr. Red, I have a reluctant request...... Can you be the godfather of this child? ”
Ha?
Red was stunned for a moment, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"In fact, I don't have any faith."
"It's okay, Red. Godfather is just a title, and in Italian culture there is a custom for children to recognize famous people as fathers - in any case, this child has a part of your blood in his body, even more than me and Clarke. Of course, it's not your responsibility......"
"I see, it's a privilege to be Aryria's godfather."
Red sighed softly and gently stroked the child's cheek with his fingers.
He knew what Louise meant, this child had more genetically similar parts of his own than even her real biological parents, and it was impossible for Red to completely ignore this child anyway.
And Louise made herself her godfather, which was tantamount to giving herself a name - if he took care of this child in the future, he would not let others have an opinion.
"However, ceremonies and the like, I'm afraid it will take place later, because ......"
"I understand that the Atlantic does need you to solve the problem - you go and complete your mission, but please remember that you have a family waiting for you now."
Louise looked at Red meaningfully, who stared at Aryria for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then Aryria will take care of you, Miss Louise."
——
After leaving the hospital, Red flew into the sky non-stop, and he directly broke through the atmosphere with his physical body and came to low-earth orbit.
The situation is much stranger than I imagined.
In space, Red could clearly see that the entire Atlantic Ocean was covered in something resembling a light curtain, making it impossible to see the interior from either the sky or the ocean.
And Red had already tried it just now, it was almost impossible to break through the light curtain with his physical body, and he was afraid that it would take ...... to break through this strange light curtain
Red buried his guess in his mind for a moment, then turned and flew towards a giant space station in low-Earth orbit.
Justice League Watchtower.
In this case, you will undoubtedly be able to obtain more accurate and comprehensive information.
The watchtower served as the last bridgehead for human superheroes during the final crisis, and as such, it was expanded several times to accommodate more people to take refuge.
Eventually, however, the vast majority of evacuees returned to Earth to rebuild.
Although the Justice League still exists in name, watchtowers are rarely used because the former Big Seven are now dead or missing, and the Black Canary, the leader on the surface, is more focused on building missions on Earth.
However, even so, the watchtower is still the first line of defense against Earth from various alien threats, so there are still people who will stay here.
"The oracle has been waiting for you for a long time, please come here."
As soon as Red landed on the deck, the door to and from the watchtower opened automatically, and someone immediately stepped forward to greet him as soon as he entered the watchtower.
It was a tall brunette woman wearing a feminine professional uniform that perfectly framed her body, and although she wore only light makeup, her delicate face could still be seen.
Outwardly, this is an ordinary and capable professional clerk, but Red immediately recognizes her true identity.
"Wonder Woman?"
"Please call me Commissioner Prince, Mr. Red Douglas—I am Observer Prince of the Watchtower, and I have no other capacity."
The former Amazonian princess in front of her said in a professional, emotionless voice, and then she turned and walked briskly, the crisp footsteps of her high heels echoing through the empty hallway.
Although he was treated coldly, Red didn't care, it was a fact that he killed several of Wonder Woman's friends, and he didn't plan to brush up on the heroine's favorability.
It's just that he does have something he wants to ask this Wonder Woman.
"Alright then, Miss Prince - can I confirm with you first of all, have you been in contact with anyone related to Paradise Island lately, whether it's Amazons like Hippolyta or gods like Ares......"
Red could clearly see Diana's footsteps pause slightly, but soon she continued to walk briskly.
"No—in the eyes of others, the former Amazon princess Diana and Wonder Woman are dead, so I haven't been able to get any information or ...... Oracle. ”
"Isn't the oracle Barbara...... Well, when I didn't say. ”
Diana just glanced at Red, who shut his mouth in amusement, now was clearly not the right time to joke.
So the two of them remained a little awkward silent and came to the top and deepest room of the watchtower.
Needless to say, here is the girl Red is familiar with.
"Barbara, long time no see—no, it doesn't seem like it's been long, we've had dinner together for the last two weeks......"
Barbara Gordon, the girl who was once Batgirl and later disguised as Batman in the final crisis, has now regained her superhero identity as an oracle.
However, her work is no different from before, and she is monitoring and analyzing various information on Earth and the universe in this watchtower.
"Now is not the time to say hello, Red...... Just in case, I'd like to ask if you're — "
"It's not my handiwork, I just found out about it when I just came back, so I'm here to see if you have some information."
Hearing Red's words, Barbara's expression was more of a sigh of relief than disappointed, and it seemed that she was even more worried that Red would be on the opposite side of them again.
"It's a pity that we didn't know much about it, this light curtain suddenly appeared seven days ago, without any warning.......
Listening to Barbara's description of the information to himself, Red's brow furrowed slightly.
The light curtain appeared at the right time when the Dome left this world, and it should be said that it had just left this world, and it didn't seem like a coincidence anyway.
According to Barbara, this light curtain covers almost the entire Atlantic Ocean, including the site of Paradise Island; Covering everything from the sky to the ocean to the mantle rock formations, no matter how magic or physics can break through the blockade of the light curtain.
However, the light curtain did not have any other effect, and the main thing to say was that the ocean currents were altered, causing climatic anomalies along some coasts of Europe and North America.
"What about Atlantis? Has the Haihou Meila side contacted you? ”
As soon as Red finished speaking, he noticed that Barbara's expression looked a little embarrassed.
"In fact, after the eventual crisis...... After the sea, Mera proposed to temporarily break off diplomatic relations with us, no, it should be said with human society, unless we hand over the murderer of the Sea King......"
Well, it comes down to his own problem, Red scratched his head, he felt the cold gaze from the "Commissioner Prince" next to him.
Red killed Arthur Curry, just because of this Red and Atlantis are undying enemies, and it has nothing to do with Mera's personal relationship with himself - even Mera, the queen of the sea, can't calm the anger of all Atlanteans against Red.
Even Mera should still play the role of a fire extinguisher, she knows very well how far the difference in strength between Red and Atlantis is, of course, the stronger side here is Red, if Atlantis wants to avenge the Sea King, it is estimated that the lives of all the undersea people will not be able to hurt Red.
So it's not incomprehensible that Mera took the initiative to cut off contact-
No, something is wrong.
Red looked up sharply and looked at Barbara thoughtfully.
"Who are you, after the light curtain appeared, Atlantis didn't react at all?"
"yes, we can't get in touch—ah!"
Under Red's reminder, Barbara immediately realized the crux of the problem.
It was Mera who had been suppressing the undersea people from taking reckless revenge on Red, so if Mera lost contact with others because of the light curtain, then the seafarers in other seas would definitely think that it was a conspiracy of the people on the ground, and they would make a big move.
And if Mera is not in the light curtain, she should also take the initiative to contact the Justice League to discuss a solution for the sake of Atlantis Atlantis.
Unless......
Drip, drip, drip.
At that moment, something seemed to ring on the table in front of Barbara.
Barbara picked up the tablet on the table, glanced at it, and immediately changed her expression.
"Red, 1 hour ago...... Soon after you returned. ”
"Something broke through the light curtain and came to the port of Gotham!"
