The Death Knell

“I don’t know what’s going on with being brainless and unhappy now?”

Su Ming led Diana towards where Barry was squatting on the ground and drawing circles. The smell of dew came from the flowers and plants around him. The frequent sunrises and sunsets caused the temperature to change constantly. The leaves of these plants at this time seemed heavy and wet. Almost.

Wade and McGeeken followed them, but from time to time they would glance at each other with sinister eyes, as if they were planning to kill each other at any time.

"Mindless? Unhappy?" Diana raised an eyebrow. She didn't know the two people Deathstroke was talking about. Besides, who would give such a code name?

"In view of the fact that there are so many Superman and Batman from other parallel universes, we now have a lot of Clark and Bruce. In order to distinguish them, I gave the two in the main world new codenames. Superman is called 'Brainless'. Batman is 'upset'."

Yes, if you go to the Hall of Justice, the headquarters of the Incarnation of Justice, and shout Batman, there will probably be a dozen Batmans coming out of the darkness and staring at you at the same time.

If this is absolutely a fatal flaw in battle, think about it, if the communication channel when the war starts is "Who is on Earth 23 of the Multiverse, and who is on Earth 17 of the Multiverse who needs help"...

There are too many things to say. How can I have time to tell you tongue twisters at this critical moment? People in other parallel universes can be ignored, but acquaintances in the main world still need to distinguish them.

.....................

The term "Hall of Justice" is unfamiliar to many second- and third-tier heroes, because it is the headquarters of the "Justice Incarnate", and the Justice Incarnate is the union of the Justice League in all parallel worlds in the multiverse, a multidimensional world. Huge organization.

It is relatively easy to join the Incarnation of Justice, as long as you have the identity of a member of the Zhenglian and pass the joint review of the Batman.

But it is more difficult to go to the Hall of Justice, and its existence is even unknown to many heroes.

Generally speaking, only the seven giants of each universe, plus "that so and so" or people with relatively high reliability such as Nightwing, have the authority to go there.

As for Donna, she was created by the mythical Titans. The Titans are the enemies of the Zhenglian. Therefore, she was also judged by Batman as "unstable" and therefore did not have the authority to enter the Hall of Justice.

Not to mention people like Deathstroke, mercenaries are considered to have no standing, they are not even members of the Zhenglian, and they will not be allowed to enter.

As for the restless young people like Beast Boy, Dark Wally, etc., they don't even know the existence of the Hall of Justice.

Why build the Temple of Justice? Firstly, it is because the Hall of Justice in any world cannot accommodate so many superheroes from parallel worlds. Secondly, the Batmans in every world also agree that if faced with a major event that requires the unity of the multiverse, the Hall of Justice can Doesn't seem safe.

The Hall of Justice is an exhibition hall used to provide temporary housing and logistical support in normal times, and to receive visitors, creating a "meetable superhero" setting envisioned by Batman.

To put it bluntly, they are selling idols and attracting people’s cohesion.

When Su Ming first came to the Hall of Justice, he suspected that their boss Fei Qiu, the Japanese idol girl group akb that he had seen online in his previous life, might have copied Batman's idea and came up with the concept of meetable idols.

Isn’t it satisfying just seeing superheroes on TV or online news? Then come to the Hall of Justice, where you may meet your favorite heroes. Not only can you talk face to face, but you can also get autographs, buy souvenirs and figures.

Business was good in the past, and the Hall of Justice itself did not require tickets. However, if you wanted to eat with the heroes in the restaurant or buy various souvenirs, you would have to pay.

But people don't know that there are two restaurants in the Hall of Justice, one is open to the public, and only the most slutty heroes go there to eat and take photos with tourists, such as Golden Pioneer or Shazam.

The other small restaurant is only open for internal business. The chef is the restaurant Ferdinand the Minotaur, and most of the heroes are here.

All in all, there are currently only a small number of superheroes in the Hall of Justice, and most of the superheroes from parallel universes still use the Hall of Justice as their base.

The Hall of Justice does not exist in the material world, but is stuck in a special space. The entrance is in the middle city. You can enter there by adjusting the vibration frequency of the human body through the speed force.

If heroes want to enter the Hall of Justice, they need to go to the Midtown in their respective worlds and ask their respective Flashes for help.

This is also a kind of insurance, because the Flash is the most reliable person in the Zhenglian. If a certain hero is really crazy, they may be able to kill the Flash, but they will never get the key to the Hall of Justice from him.

The appearance of the Hall of Justice is a majestic spire building complex floating in the sky, standing above a city full of science fiction, connected to a bridge similar to the Rainbow Bridge through a teleporter to enter and exit the main entrance.

In fact, it is located in the void, and the city below is just a virtual projected landscape. There is nothing but air in this unique technological plane.

The Hall of Justice has a conference hall and shelter that can accommodate 20,000 people, and a master control room that can monitor 52 earths at the same time. It has almost everything Batman can think of, and it has it all, and it is even better than the Hall of Justice. To a higher level.

"Superman is not brainless. He is smart. His IQ is higher than 99% of humans." Diana thought of Superman's often silly appearance and that Batman was indeed always unhappy. She couldn't help but smile and hit Su Ming: "He just habitually thinks the best of others, so he seems innocent."

"If you like the codename Brainless, I can leave it to you." Su Ming touched his chin and pretended to think: "There are so many Dianas from other worlds, haven't you thought about how to distinguish them from them? ?”

Hearing this, Diana sighed as if unable to speak, and no longer even thought about beating the death knell, her big eyes fell blankly on the back of Barry who was squatting not far away.

"Amazon warriors don't need any slogans. We can communicate with each other just with our eyes. It's not a big problem. But they are just princesses and I am the queen. Even so, they basically all left earlier. , everyone has their own paradise island to look after.”

"Your mother has just been missing for a long time. I don't think she will die so easily. There is no need for you to envy them."

Su Ming touched the squatting Barry's head, watched him turn around in shock, and said to Wonder Woman:

"So what you are implying is that because Paradise Island is here and your home is on Earth 0, you will not be able to leave here in the future, right?"

Diana took a deep breath, turned around and left, lowering her voice: "It's not important, let's go find Circe quickly."

"Barry, take us back to the castle."

Su Ming didn't say anything more, but directly gave new orders to the confused Barry. There were many large and small circles on the ground where the Flash was squatting just now. I don't know what he was struggling with.

Barry shrugged: "On condition that you stop talking to me about women..."

"Send me back to the castle, or I will ask my cousin to talk to you. His favorite thing is female sex."

Su Ming put his arm on Barry's shoulder, feeling the familiar power and electric light spreading on his body again. Seeing the Flash's lips clenched, he thought silently in his heart.

Diana in the main world is burdened with more things than her counterparts in other parallel worlds. Her mother is missing, her brother is missing, and her friends are almost dead. Almost every time it is a major blow.

It's understandable if her father Zeus often disappears. After all, he likes to play hide-and-seek games. Diana doesn't care even if he dies outside.

But Hippolyta's disappearance was very strange. Paradise Island was closed to the outside world for a period of time, and even Diana couldn't go back. When she was able to get through the divine shield, she found that her mother had suddenly disappeared.

Yes, everyone else, whether they were guards or elders, was intact. Her mother just disappeared into the palace. There was no sign of battle, no clues, not even witnesses.

Diana asked Batman and Bobo to investigate, but neither human detectives nor non-human detectives were able to do anything about it, because Diana's mother seemed to have never existed in this world.

As for Diana's brother Jason, it's better to say he was taken away than missing.

In the incident where Zhenglian fought against the God of Darkness, he offered himself as a tribute in exchange for the God of Darkness to retreat. The five gods of the universe took him and disappeared into the void. This was also a few years ago.

Sounds great, right? A hero who dedicated his life to the world, but in fact there was no need for him to do so, because those gods were not the opponents of the Justice League in the first place. What happened at that time was almost like this -

Jason: "Gods, take me as a sacrifice, please leave the earth."

Diana: "No, brother! The Green Lantern Corps will be here soon. These evil gods have lost."

Jason: "Don't lie to me, sister, humans can't win against the gods. Gods of the universe, I am the son of Zeus, take me as a hostage, this is the sincerity of the earth!"

Diana: "But four of the five of them were knocked down by Superman within ten seconds, and we won immediately."

Jason: "Don't lie to me, sister, doesn't the other party still have one standing? We have not won, we must negotiate terms with them, listen to me, sacrifice me to save the earth!"

The Five Dark Gods: "Deal!"

Diana: "No!!!"

These gods immediately kidnapped Jason through a contract and ran away.

They almost lost, but thanks to a genius in human negotiation, he gave away a very important hostage for free and allowed them to retreat safely, which was a blessing.

So Diana's brother disappeared like this, and she cried for a long time...

This is why she is so anxious when she hears that Donna is missing. Although there is no blood relationship between the two, her sister is already the closest family member she has.
