"First of all, I didn't take the initiative to make any unusual moves, I think this should be a way to show kindness, and besides, I don't have any reason to do anything to you, after all, we are all human, aren't we?"

His eyes looked at the young man with great sincerity, and Zhang Yu's expression was very solemn.

He knew that this young man was like a frightened fawn at this time, his heart was very fragile, and any action he made might destroy his impression of himself, and even more severing this hard-won trust.

The identity of the boy in red is not difficult to guess, in the entire Justice League formed by older heroes, there is only one underage superhero, although he usually acts in adult form, but in essence, he is still a fifteen-year-old child.

"Billy Batson, the heir of Thunder Shazam, the inheritor of the power of the Greek gods, has finally met." Zhang Yu tilted his head slightly and said hello.

However, Zhang Yu's words did not cause the young man's reaction, but made him more cautious, he was expressionless, staring at Zhang Yu indifferently, and slowly spoke.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a wizard from another universe, codenamed Witch Raven." With Zhang Yu's words, a crow that came out of nowhere flew out and landed on the demon that was still in a suspended state in mid-air. "Of course, you can also call me Zhang Yu."

"Other universes? The bridge between the divine realm and reality has been severed, and the entrance to multiple dimensions has also been destroyed, how can you be a wizard from other universes. ”

Billy's brow furrowed even deeper, his gaze full of distrust.

Although he was just a child, his attainments in magical power were not low, and he could clearly see the dark power floating around Zhang Yu, which was definitely not a power that a good person could relate.

"How about taking a long-term view?"

Zhang Yu raised his hand, and a dark green flame rose into the air, and under his control, the entire dream world was twisted in the flames of illusion.

Seeing this, Billy couldn't help but take a step back, he was always ready to wake himself up, but he didn't feel Zhang Yu's malice, so he just frowned and looked at what tricks Zhang Yu could make.

Soon, the green flames ignited everything around them, and the shadows of the demons, heroes, and Darkseid were all illusory, and with the infusion of a special force, the world of mirrors and moons was slowly born in this dream.

Countless high-rise buildings rose in the firelight, and the Apocalypse Star, which was originally dark and full of destruction, instantly became the center of New York City.

Watching this scene in surprise, Billy's mouth that had been pursed opened slightly, and he looked at this familiar and strange world, his eyes full of consternation.

"What is this place?" Billy asked, curious.

Without selling it, Zhang Yu slowly walked to a position about two meters in front of Billy and stopped, followed his gaze, and spoke. "There's another universe here."

The Avengers Tower stands in the very center of the city, and the letter 'A' on it flashes twice before lighting up.

"There is also an earth in this universe, but on this earth, the heroes who protect world peace are not the Justice League, but other people."

Before Zhang Lu could finish speaking, a red figure grabbed the spider silk and swung over from mid-air, and Billy watched the shadow fly over his head without blinking, and his breathing became a little short.

In the sky, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Aerospace Helicarrier slowly sailed, and the advertising screen of the entire Times Square also lit up at the same time, and in an instant, the heroic posture of the Avengers heroes appeared on the big screen.

On every screen, there are images of different heroes fighting, and the young Billy was immediately attracted to attention, his eyes didn't know where to look for a while, he didn't know any of these heroes, but that didn't affect his desire to get to know these people.

However, looking at it, Billy suddenly thought of something, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

He turned around, looked at Zhang Yu, and muttered in a low voice. "They look good, better than me."

"Excellent?"

Zhang Yu patted Billy on the shoulder and turned his head to look into the distance.

Billy was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Yu's gaze, only to find that on the other side of the city, the scarlet color of destruction shrouded the sky like a sunset, shattering the original peace in the city.

The flames of war enveloped Times Square, the Helicarrier fell from the sky with billowing smoke, and the images of all the heroes on the big screen were frozen one by one, and then turned gray.

The tall buildings collapsed like dominoes, reduced to crumbling ruins, and in less than ten seconds, all the images of peace that came into view were swallowed up by devastating war.

Looking at this scene, Billy's body trembled a little, he gasped for breath, and the whole dream also had huge fluctuations because of his emotions, and the edge of the dream kept collapsing.

"Heroes are not omnipotent, no matter how powerful they are, they will make mistakes, and it is inevitable that the whole world will be buried because of some mistakes."

Zhang Yu felt the instability of the dream realm, and said softly while supporting the stability of the dream plane with his own magical energy.

"But we still have a chance to make amends, and that's why I'm here."

Billy looked up and looked at Zhang Yu, who had been calm.

"Really, is there still a chance?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Yu lowered his head. "If you lose hope yourself, you will never succeed, and besides, there are still many people in this world who have not given up hope."

"Hopeful?"

Billy pursed his lips mockingly.

"For us, 'hope' is Superman's home glory, but I just think it's a ridiculous word right now. By the way, do you know Superman? ”

"I've heard of it." Zhang Yu nodded silently. "I've learned about some of the developments in your world, and I don't hide it, I think it's a bit outrageous that those guys in the Justice League took the initiative to provoke a war and let a child go to war."

"yes." Billy raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Yu and asked. "Tell me again, what's your name?"

"Zhang Yu."

"Yes, Zhang Yu."

Billy laughed to himself, then shook his head.

"I don't know how you invaded my dreams, but you're looking for the wrong person, I'm retired now, and I'm not a hero anymore, so don't give me any hope."

"Billy."

Zhang Yu was about to speak, but Billy jerked Zhang Yu's body away.

"Don't call me that!"

At this moment, the young man's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out.

Billy breathed heavily, suffering great pain in his heart, he tried his best to control the tears rolling in his eyes to prevent them from sliding down his cheeks, looking at Zhang Yu, he stubbornly gritted his teeth.

"Don't talk to me about hopes, don't tell me any plans, don't tell me any revenge, I'm not interested in these things right now!"

Staring at Zhang Yu deadly, Billy said hoarsely.

"Last time I believed in their plan, but guess what happened to me?"

The voice faded down, and three hideous scratches slowly appeared on Billy's delicate face, spreading from his temples to his cheeks, running through his entire countenance, and one of his eyes was forever lost of light.

Billy was standing on the ground with one leg propped up, but the other leg was empty, hanging lightly.

"This is what I am now"

In the depths of Billy's heart, it was as if there was a huge mountain pressing on it, and no matter how much he tried to hide it, he could not break free from the shackles of this pain.

If it weren't for seeing him as he is now, who would have thought that he was just a child.

After such a tragic defeat at such a young age, Billy had already lost everything, and he didn't even have a way to vent, who would have considered his ability to bear it.

Now he can only find his complete self in a dream.
