The Knights of the DC House

On the Pacific Ocean, under a beam of light reaching the sky, is an island where all time has been completely suspended. The international free trade island that symbolizes peace between humans on land and humans under the sea is stagnant under the force field, separated by the force field.

, Kara, Little Jonathan, Kent and others who had already rushed to the scene could see everything that was completely suspended inside, and Cyborg was also scanning everything he saw with the red sensor on his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, the sonic blast channel opened and everyone left.

Returning to the satellite launch base, coming out of the sonic tunnel, Clark and others who had been waiting there also stepped forward, waiting for Cyborg's answer.

"Unable to enter, Mechanical Superman placed the Mother Box inside as an energy core. Even if we destroy the satellite above, it will be useless. The Mother Box itself is an energy source. What's even more troublesome is that the initiative is now in his hands. Once

If we take action here, he can control the time flow inside at any time, and he can turn the entire island into dust in an instant."

"Eh... Then is it okay for me and Uncle Barry to move outside at super-light speed?"

Before Wally had finished speaking, Cyborg was also shaking his head.

"If you just create a time-reversing force field outside, it will not affect the inside. It can also accelerate the time flow and erase everything, because it is a relatively independent time force field. But if you rush in, there will be

So it's somewhat possible, but you two may be the only ones who can rush in. Faced with a fully prepared mechanical superman, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about the possibility of you two subduing him."

As Cyborg who was also born from the Mother Box, he knew very well what the Mother Box in the hands of the Mechanical Superman could do. It was a typical creation artifact, but it was always used in their hands to open portals.

It's not that they don't want to analyze the mother box, it's just that the technology contained in the mother box cannot be understood and mastered by the current earth level. It needs a step-by-step process, otherwise the earth will destroy itself.

But now, in order to save Lena, it has become a weapon used by the mechanical superman to blackmail them. This is really unreasonable.

"So now we can't interfere from the outside, and there's no guarantee of success if we launch a surprise attack. Damn it, it would be great if Ke Wen was here at this time. He seems to be the only guy here who can control a large-scale time flow."

Wally, who understood the problem with this rescue operation, subconsciously said something more. Thea beside him gave his boyfriend an elbow and looked at Kara and Lena, whose faces were a little dim at this time. Ke Wen has been missing for nearly a month, although everyone

Everyone understands that with Ke Wen's current state, as long as he doesn't face a guy like Darkseid, basically no one can kill him. However, there is no news so far, which is really worrying.

"You don't have to worry about what he says. He is doing what he should do. Rather than this, we should focus on the present. If he is not here, you can't do anything. So what is the difference between you and us? We are still following the old path.

.”

Seeing that this group of young people seemed to have lost their backbone, Clark quickly spoke up. He knew exactly what Ke Wen was going to do. Because of this, he also knew that Ke Wen's current danger level was no worse than theirs.

It's just that Clark also found that the new generation and successors they were optimistic about began to look a little like them in the past, relying too much on their own Superman, the resourceful Batman, and the Flash who was used to restart, so they had to remind them.

"But the problem is that it's difficult for us to do it without him. Just entering will kill these innocent people, so we can't do anything."

Wally also said helplessly, in fact, the Speed ​​Force is not incapable of saving everyone. Assuming that he can pass through the force field shield constructed by the Mother Box through resonance at the first time, and before the mechanical superman can react,

It would be okay to cover everyone on the island with a speed force field to offset the impact of the accelerated time flow caused by the opening of the Mother Box.

But the problem is that neither Wally nor Barry have ever tried to cover hundreds of thousands of people at once with a Speed ​​Force field that is enough to offset the acceleration of the time flow. The Speed ​​Force is inexhaustible, even from Barry.

They are produced in every run, but Barry and Wally are not. After such a run, Wally and Barry are likely to directly sacrifice to the sky. It is not that sacrificing to the sky is not good, but if they can, they don't want to

Come to the step of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to defeat the threat of Mechanical Superman, the projection of Mechanical Superman once again appeared in the sky of the satellite launch base. Looking at the people who were discussing countermeasures, they also spoke out.

"Are you still thinking about how to save people, Superman? I told you, the method is very simple. If you come to me, they can survive."

"Hank Henshaw, don't say such lies to children at this time. When I go over, you will probably turn them all into a pile of withered bones or even dust in front of me right away.

Bar."

Clark, who had fought with Robot Superman several times in previous reboots, also knew very well the purpose of Robot Superman threatening him with this, so he directly exposed Robot Superman's idea and called out his name at the same time.

His true identity. Of course, for Mechanical Superman, it was no big deal for his true identity to be exposed. He was just applauding and agreeing with Clark's words.

"Well, you know me very well, but do you think you have a choice? I think you must have been thinking about whether to let these two speedsters use the speed force to break my force field. Thanks to your hesitation, I

I thought of a more fun game.”

The camera in the sky zoomed out, and Robot Superman took out the mother box from his body and placed it on the ground. When he saw this scene, Cyborg's heart skipped a beat, because he knew what Robot Superman was going to do.

"stop!"

Although it was just a useless shout, it did make the Robot Superman pause and look up at them.

"It seems you know what I'm going to do. It's so pitiful. You obviously have the artifact that can create the world, but you just use it as a door-opening machine. Now just watch it carefully. This is how the power of the Mother Box is used.

of!"

With that said, Mechanical Superman also took out a piece of native kryptonite from his chest and inserted it into the active Mother Box. As Mechanical Superman injected his thoughts and energy into it, he gave instructions to the Mother Box.

After the instruction.

The next second, intense light filled the projection screen in the sky. Ordinary people present could not dodge, so they squatted down under the stimulation of the strong light, covered their eyes and screamed in pain, with tears streaming down their faces. And on the booth.

, everyone who was not affected also looked at the sky where the strong light gradually disappeared. The Kryptonians like Kara and Little Jonathan flew directly to the sky, relying on their powerful super vision, directly looking into the distance, looking at the Pacific Ocean.

Changes in this international free trade island on the sea.

It can be seen that a large number of green crystals have begun to appear on the building surface of the International Free Trade Island, which was originally full of various future technological styles and exotic colors. These stones represent the highest technology on earth and the technological civilization of Atlantis.

The buildings are combined together. The time force field originally created in the Mother Box, the Atlanteans and the human army on land stagnated on this artificial island are also changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For both men and women, their hair began to fall off, their bodies became huge, their fangs were exposed, their limbs turned into claws, and cold mechanical tentacles pierced their bodies, combined with them, and became entangled. It only took

In less than a few minutes, the mechanical superman used the transformation power of the Mother Box to turn this artificial island into a forbidden land belonging to the Kryptonians, an artificial island covered with kryptonite.

The tens of thousands of staff who were originally hostages above were also transformed into biochemical mechanical demons with the characteristics of mechanical supermen under the transformation of the mother box. Four tall buildings also appeared in the four directions of the island. When this

When the artificial island full of kryptonite was completely transformed, even though they were thousands of miles away, Kara, Connor, and General Zod and Fiora, who were watching this scene from high in the sky, could feel this native island.

The radiation effects brought by the kryptonite island made them feel faintly uncomfortable.

Clark looked at the picture in which the island staff who were supposed to be waiting for him and others to come to the rescue were turned into mechanical demons by the transformation of the Mother Box of the Robot Superman. His eyes were splitting. He did not understand the purpose of the Robot Superman.

What is it for?

"Is it necessary to go to this extent, Hank Henshaw, the target of your revenge is me, why do you involve those innocent people?"

"I think it's necessary, because I hate everything you are doing now, including what you are doing. I know what you want to do, but I just don't want you to succeed. I want to destroy all your efforts and make you do it again.

Become Superman. Do you know why? Because this way, I can destroy you over and over again, forever."

"You are really a lunatic!" Looking at the face in the sky that was facing the camera, Clark also yelled angrily.

"You're right, I'm a madman, so what do you choose now, the great President Clark Kent. These people you want to save have completely become my soldiers and cannot be saved, and for you

So far as you are concerned, the only way you want to save them is to put on your red cloak again, and then use your super-light flight to fly counter-clockwise around the earth until everything starts again. Hurry up, I'm waiting for your decision.

Here~"

Mechanical Superman sat there, looking at Clark and others who were helpless under his own operations, with indescribable joy on his face. Everything was going according to his script, and he was sure to win.

"You did all this just to make me compromise, let me put on that cloak and then put everything back to where it started?"

"Yes, only in this way can I destroy you again and again."

"Maybe it's true, but I'm tired of it, so I refuse! Cyborg, lock him up for me, I don't want to see this disgusting face in front of me again!"

Clark responded directly to the threat of Mechanical Superman. Cyborg, who was waiting for Clark's answer, was also stunned. He nodded, raised his head, and looked at the image of Mechanical Superman projected on the sky. The red sensor on his forehead lit up.

rise.

"Hey, didn't you hear me..." Before Mechanical Superman could finish speaking, Cyborg directly remotely controlled the watchtower in mid-space, directly facing the satellite that was launched, and the climate was controlled by Mechanical Superman.

Adjusting the satellite is just a particle cannon. It is physically closed directly from the outside world.

Without the satellite in transit, the image projected over the satellite launch base disappeared, and the sky-reaching light pillar also dissipated. Of course, on the Pacific Ocean, the force field shield covering the International Free Trade Island is still there, but

It has become the private kingdom of the mechanical superman.

There are wandering biochemical and mechanical demons everywhere, and in the buildings on the four sides of the island, there are faint red lights flashing, as if they are cultivating something.

The mechanical superman was sitting in the middle of the island, and he was not angry because his conversation was interrupted. He just sat there, looking at the kingdom he had created with the mother box, and talking to himself.

"You refuse? Then I really want to know how you can defeat me without the help of the Kryptonians, just with those people. I'm waiting for you to kneel in front of me, Superman!"

The perspective returns to the satellite launch base. After such a big event, the celebrities who originally came to watch the ceremony also left. This is no longer something they can participate in. It is safer to go back and stay at home. Clark also temporarily

He set up a tent and was thinking of ways to defeat the enemy through the holographic projection set up on the steel frame.

At this time, on the holographic projection of Cyborg, there are several light spots that are rapidly heading towards the island. They are Kara, Connor and Little Jonathan. They are testing where they will be on the island and where they will be by this island.

Kryptonite radiation on the island chipped away at ordinary people.

However, on Cyborg's holographic projection, the light spots representing Kara and Connor completely disappeared ten kilometers away. Only little Jonathan was left holding on, carrying one in each hand. Little Jonathan flew without any danger.

Arriving at the coastline of the island, looking at the island so close at hand, little Jonathan also made a report there.

"I have arrived, but Kara and Connor have completely lost their combat effectiveness. I am better than them, but in terms of ability, I can also feel that I have been weakened."

"Okay Jonathan, come back immediately."

Dick on the side was also giving orders, and little Jonathan's report undoubtedly made matters worse. As the most powerful superhuman family on earth, Kara and Connor were directly reduced to mortals. Zod and Fiora, who were guarding Clark, also

Needless to say, a purebred Kryptonian would die immediately if he got close to him. Only little Jonathan, a half-blood, was left. However, this matter could not be solved by little Jonathan alone. The matter was back to the original point again.

Just when everyone is thinking about how to break the situation, here in Gotham City, in the Gotham City of desires drawn from the hearts of Gotham citizens, they transform into Kamen Rider OOO Oz's exclusive final six-coin God-Demon Alliance

Ke Wen, who had formed a new form, also fell into the core layer of Gotham City of Desire together with half of the core weirdo transformed by Martha the Clown. The two fell from the air. Looking at the surrounding buildings, Ke Wen was also stunned for a moment.

"Wayne Manor?" Yes, Ke Wen didn't expect that the core of Gotham of Desire would be Wayne Manor. Although it is getting smaller and smaller, Ke Wen couldn't understand the existence of Wayne Manor. If the entire Gotham of Desire was

It is the deepest desire of the citizens of Gotham City to become Batman, or even to return to the old Gotham in the chaotic era. So why is there a Wayne Manor here?

"What did you do!" Looking at everything strange here, Ke Wen also said to the clown Martha.

"What did I do? Why don't you ask what he did?" The weirdo transformed by the clown Martha got rid of her weird appearance and just stood there, looking at the Wayne Manor. At this time, in

A child's voice sounded in Ke Wen's ear.

"Grandpa, what's outside the window?"

"My dear Selena, there is only endless darkness outside the window, be good, go back and sit down, don't you want to listen to grandpa telling stories?" Ke Wen turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, which was the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.

, a girl stood there, looking at the scenery outside the window. There was only Wayne Manor and nothing else, but in the girl's eyes, what she saw was the night scene farther away.

On the contrary, the tall figure who walked up behind the girl and picked her up. Although his hair was gray and wrinkles appeared on his face, Ke Wen could still recognize his face at first sight. Bruce had become an old man.

It's just that unlike the granddaughter he is holding in his arms, Ke Wen can feel that the old Bruce standing in front of the window is looking at him and the clown Martha. He knows who he is, but he just holds this person who should not exist.

Granddaughter, left the window.

At this point, Ke Wen is completely confused. If Gotham is just a Desire Gotham created by the deepest desires of Gotham citizens, then Ke Wen is not afraid. With the same characteristics as the clown Martha, he is nothing more than breaking through the illusion.

, and then just bring out the trapped Batman, but now, Ke Wen has thought of the worst possibility.

"He built all this? That's not him!"

After that, without paying attention to the clown Martha who had given up the attack at this time and was just watching there, Ke Wen also rushed directly towards the Wayne Manor and lost his voice. And the clown Martha looked at Ke Wen.

He did not stop this move, he just stood there, looking at the lighted window on the second floor, and said softly: "This is all expected."

In the study room on the second floor, the elderly Bruce hugged his granddaughter and took the book she took from the bookshelf. There was only a logo on the book, a logo with a bat on it. And the elderly Bruce Wayne was also there asking

Holding his granddaughter.

"Selena, why did you choose this book?"

"Because it's a good story, and I want to hear it from grandpa."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." With that, Bruce Wayne opened the book and began to read the words on the title page.

"All this stems from one night, the night of a desperate child, six feet, two legs, two gunshots..."

On the other side, when Ke Wen was trying to find out why Batman himself would become the core reason for building this Gotham of Desire, in the previous superficial Gotham City of Desire, because of the actions of Ke Wen and the clown Martha, he became aware of the entire

The three people who experienced changes in Gotham of Desire also entered another space through the gray dimensional wall transformed by the clown using the will of the universe to retain the power of the knight born in the DC universe.

Different from Ke Wen's ever-deepening Gotham of Desire, when they came out through the dimensional wall, Conan and Ke Xue felt that they had left the Gotham of Desire built by the human heart and came to the edge somewhere.

"This is indeed not the space we just entered. Have we left the earth?!" Ke Xue looked at the Build belt that automatically appeared around his waist, and immediately reacted and said there.

Because he is very aware of his own physique. Apart from having incredible luck, he is at best a relatively powerful ordinary person. Without the help of the belt transformation, he would definitely die in such an extreme environment, and the sudden appearance of the belt would naturally

This means that he has come to an extreme environment that will kill him, and the belt automatically protects the owner.

"Well, don't make a fuss, I can feel it." Regarding his younger brother's surprise, Conan just replied indifferently, looking at him like a clown who knew the route.

The three of them lined up in a line and moved forward in this strange space. Along the edge, all the way to the end, they saw the person they were looking for.

"That's...Batman?"

In a flash, Conan held one in each hand and instantly moved to where Batman was. At this time, Batman was firmly embedded in the void, his hands and feet seemed to have been swallowed, and only his torso and head were exposed. And Conan took the Joker and the

After Ke Xue put it down, he immediately took off and put his hands on Batman's body, trying to break him out of the restraints. But what Conan didn't expect was that he inherited the dual powers of King Kewen and Kara Krypton from the branched future.

With excellent genes, he is still a humanoid Doomsday, but he can't shake it at all.

He signaled Ke Xue and the Joker to step aside, concentrated his power on his fist, and swung directly at the void that swallowed Batman's limbs.

A punch that was enough to cause an earthquake in New York had no effect. It was like punching the air, without hitting any entity, and he couldn't understand why Batman was imprisoned here.

Subconsciously, Conan also took off Batman's mask, revealing Bruce's lifeless face. He stared blankly at Conan floating in front of him, with no doubts or anger, as if something happened at this moment.

Everything about you has nothing to do with it.

"Bruce..." Looking at Bruce at this time, Conan didn't know what to do. And below, when he saw Conan taking off the mask representing Batman, the clown also rushed forward like crazy.

Conan took the mask back from his hands and put it back on Bruce's face.

"He's not Bruce, he's the Batboy I miss so much!"

He carefully put on the mask and looked at the way the Joker was helping Batman adjust his costume. Conan felt bad. The lunatic in front of him was really the one who caused a big crisis in his brother's mouth, or was it causing him to

Is this an opponent that my father has always had a headache for? This shows nothing but a pathological preference for Batman!

"OK OK, now we are not discussing whether he is Batman or Bruce Wayne. Can you tell what happened to him?"

"Um···"

Floating there, the Joker was also looking at Batman in front of him.

The perspective is brought back to the outside world. When the mechanical superman hijacks an entire international free trade island, he turns the tens of thousands of staff living there into biochemical mechanical monsters for him to drive, and also turns the entire island into a

The Island of Kryptonite. For a time, it caused an uproar in the entire world, because the staff living on this island are not only the American people and Atlanteans, but also Chinese nationals and soldiers.

They are all among them, and they have become members of the mechanical superman, a group of biochemical and mechanical demons.

Everyone focused their attention on this satellite launch base, wondering what decisions the leaders of these three countries would make to rescue these victims who had turned into biochemical mechanical monsters.

"I just want to ask, is it possible to save the people transformed by this mother box?" During this discussion, the leader who came to watch the ceremony and was escorted by Kong Kenan and others also asked directly

road.

"Generally speaking, the process of being transformed by the mother box is irreversible. For example, if I had not been re-disassembled or for other reasons, I would not be able to switch between machinery and flesh and blood like I am now. But Han

K. Henshaw is not stupid. He knows very well that if he really sets this process to be irreversible, then we don’t need to worry about anything and can just do it. So there must be a backdoor, and this backdoor must be related to him.

, and related to these four buildings on the island.

The problem is that if we really take violent action, he can completely transform these people before we subdue him. At that time, nothing can be saved. And with his ability, he can make the whole world

Knowing that our poor decision-making in this rescue resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. For us, it is just a verbal attack, but for the three of you, this is bad news. In fact, there are already people on the Internet

Adding fuel to the fire, blaming the fault on why Clark hasn't gone to the island to meet Hank Henshaw."

On the side, Cyborg also listed the various comments that appeared on the Internet at this time. Just looking at some of the contents above made everyone present wonder whether these guys who made the comments had thought through their brains and had no conscience.

Dare to post comments.

"They are the guys we suppressed before. They really look for opportunities to take action." Looking at these comments, Lex also understood that there were also people operating secretly here. It was the same people who cooperated with Lex after Clark took office.

The old-school forces used strong force to suppress them. They would not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.

"Not only that, I also intercepted several messages trying to contact Hank Henshaw on the island. The content is also very simple. They want the native kryptonite on the island."

The foreign enemies were not eliminated, but internal troubles arose again, which also made Clark's emotions reach the critical point at this time. Just looking at the eyes of everyone on him, he still suppressed the anger. After thinking about it, Clark suddenly smiled.

, said.

"Then it seems that the only way I can go is to meet him."

"Clark (father)?! Kal-El?!"

Listening to Clark's indifferent words, neither Zod nor Fiora, who acted as bodyguards around him, nor his wife and children, nor people like Kara, could understand what Clark was doing. With the current Clark, without him

With superhuman strength, facing a mechanical superman will lead to death, not to mention that Clark's compromise will not have any effect. These people who have been transformed into biochemical mechanical demons will still die, and the mechanical superman will still die.

achieve his purpose.

There might not even be time for Clark to regain his superhuman powers, and Clark would die on the spot.

"Okay everyone, don't look at me like that. I just have this idea, but I haven't planned to do it yet. He hasn't made any other moves yet. I always feel that something is wrong, and it's even worse.

The situation hasn't happened yet, so don't be so hasty to say there's something wrong with my idea." Looking at everyone's nervous look, Clark also smiled.

"Excuse me, I want to ask President Clark, what do you think is the worse situation?"

"Oh, then it depends on the person who called my son just now and what he plans to do."

Clark gave it away, and Dick who was present also looked at Clark with a look of horror. He only told Ke Wen about the problem with the Waynes, and Ke Wen also met the Waynes in Gotham City.

Then disappeared. Even if Ke Wen had gone to the White House to interview Clark, Clark should not have believed everything Ke Wen said so quickly, unless Clark knew from the beginning that there was a problem with the Waynes!

"You..." Dick looked at Clark and hesitated.

"Shh," a silencing gesture also made everyone wonder if there was some little secret between Clark and Dick.

Gotham, Batcave, in Thomas Wayne, Alfred also looked at Damian who was changing into equipment and preparing to go to the scene. Alfred looked indifferent to Thomas in front of him, and did not take this moment at all.

He was deeply puzzled by the big events that had happened. If Damian's statement was not a lie, Thomas Wayne, who became Batman in another timeline, should not be so indifferent and still look at Damian.

Go to the scene and be indifferent.

"Damian, you should know that your past will not play any role. You have also heard the request of the Robot Superman. He wants Clark to bow before him."

"But this will not let him let go of the biochemical mechanical demon he controls. He is just torturing Clark."

"Yes, that's why we should use our brains and think of a good way. Oh, it would be great if Bruce were here at this time..." Thomas slowly walked to Damian and sighed there.

"Grandpa, I know very well that if my father were here, he might come up with a way to crack the mechanical Superman conspiracy as soon as possible, but he is missing now. I want to wait for him to come back, but I also know that in his absence,

During this period of time, I want to protect this city and the people he wants to protect."

"So, if Bruce can come back, it doesn't matter if you give everything before then?"

"I am my father's son, so what does it matter if I give everything for it? Grandpa, why would you ask such a question?"

"No, I'm just feeling sorry for Bruce. He obviously has everything he hopes for, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. Sometimes he may really have to lose it before he understands how precious it is and how ridiculous the things he held on to before are.

.”

"Um?"

Damian, who was confirming the equipment, suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw Thomas Wayne's monstrous right hand already pressed against his chest. With a burst of vibration, Damian was released from Thomas Wayne's hand.

Feeling weak all over, he collapsed directly to the ground. Looking at Alfred who had lost consciousness behind Thomas Wayne, Damian also looked at the man who had been in Flashpoint when he was dying of consciousness.

The grandfather I knew from the timeline.

But at this time, Thomas Wayne had already changed his appearance in front of Damian. Placed in a cage in the distance, the clown Martha used as a puppet turned into a pile of silver desire cell coins, escaped from the cage, and traveled all the way.

Moving on to Thomas Wayne, under the fusion of desire cell coins, Thomas Wayne also turned into a bat monster in Damian's eyes.

Damian's consciousness was also fixed at this moment, and he fainted. Looking at Alfred and Damian who were knocked down by him, Thomas Wayne, who turned into a bat monster, also raised his head and said: "You

Did you hear Dark Lord, your chance has come."

"Clear and loud."

On Apokolips, Darkseid, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the bat floating in front of him. After responding, he also nodded to the dark warlock Disad beside him.

Behind Disad, a team of dark warlocks who had been prepared were also using their own spells to control the Mother Box floating in front of them.

On Earth, on the artificial island transformed by Mechanical Superman, the mother box used by Mechanical Superman to transform this international free trade island was also trembling at this time, and violent light once again filled the surroundings of the entire international free trade island.

The steel frame, which was also created by the mother box, also sensed the fluctuation immediately.

"An unknown sonic blast channel is opening over Trade Island, and the coordinates are Apokolips!"

The scene unfolded, and above the International Free Trade Island, a sonic tunnel the size of the Trade Island was slowly opening, and from it, one after another the Destruction Demons they had dealt with before appeared, and behind them, there were endless waves.

Demon-like troops. Surrounded by demon-like troops, Darkseid, who had absorbed the power of the old gods and regained his life, slowly flew out of the sonic tunnel with his hands on his back.

Looking at Darkseid who came to Earth again, Clark also smiled and said: "Look, the worst case scenario has appeared."
