'Twins'

In an instant, Zhang Ye felt as if they had been pulled into their own little world.

The surrounding noisy, chaotic sounds gradually faded away, leaving Zhang Ye calmly watching General Zod, who was still talking eloquently on the screen.

'So, this is the DC cinematic universe?' Zhang Ye frowned deeply, their heart filled with mixed emotions.

Generally speaking, cinematic universes are much safer than comic or animated universes. Because of the live-action aspect and the high cost of special effects, most superhero worlds in movies are 'weakened,' making the characters far less terrifying than in the comics.

However, the DC cinematic universe is clearly an exception.

Judging from the movies, Zhang Ye didn't think they had any chance of resisting the 'monsters' in this world. In the comics, Captain Boomerang, an ordinary human, could at least exchange blows with The Flash, and even the Green Arrow universe's Captain Boomerang could slightly threaten Green Arrow and The Flash.

But in the cinematic universe, Captain Boomerang, a minor villain, was instantly killed by The Flash.

So, by extrapolation, given that The Flash doesn't even have the ability to directly confront Superman, and ordinary people are basically killed instantly by The Flash, it's easy to see how terrifying the villains who can go toe-to-toe with Superman in this world are.

Not to mention Zhang Ye alone, even with Quicksilver Pietro, Zhang Ye estimated they couldn't fully guarantee their own safety.

The battle between General Zod and Superman nearly destroyed half of Metropolis's downtown area. The aftermath of that level of combat could kill a whole group of people, and even Batman had to 'obediently' watch from below. How could an ordinary person intervene?

Moreover, this universe is far from as beautiful as one might imagine. Like other DC universes, this broken place can't escape the fate of being rebooted.

If they remembered correctly, this scene was from Man of Steel, where General Zod spent 50 years traveling to Earth to find Superman in order to locate the genetic engineering containing all of Krypton's genetic samples.

In this storyline, Superman's father injected all of Krypton's genetic samples and inventory into Superman's body at birth and sent him to Earth, which is the root cause of General Zod's conflict with Earth.

"Looks like I need to find a way to leave Metropolis as soon as possible." Zhang Ye quickly came up with a plan, then, ignoring the surrounding people's amazement and fear at General Zod's appearance, turned and walked towards the hotel.

Now that they knew which universe they were in, there was no need to rush to gather information. Overall, as the first work in the DC cinematic universe, this universe is still relatively safe at this point in the timeline.

Anyway, Superman will take care of General Zod. As long as they hurry up and leave, it won't affect them.

Although Darkseid will appear in the future, and the planet will likely be destroyed by Darkseid, and then The Flash will travel through the timeline to reboot it, that's still a few years away. They have plenty of time.

Just right, taking advantage of this time, they need to figure out why the Time Twister transported them to this universe.

The DC universe and the Marvel universe are two completely different worlds. Although both universes have superheroes and the concept of the multiverse and parallel universes, these two universes are fundamentally different. Their universal laws, energy conservation, and creation concepts are vastly different.

Taking out the Time Twister from their pocket, Zhang Ye sighed slightly as they looked at the screen that still showed no response.

Actually, the two universes aren't without interaction. At least in the comics, Zhang Ye had seen several comic books co-produced by the two companies. The most famous of these was the comic 'Justice League vs. Avengers,' but that was just for fun, like watching something for amusement.

But now, after Zhang Ye had personally experienced the crossover from Marvel to DC, they had to take it seriously.

If Marvel time and DC time are truly interconnected, then it's definitely not a simple matter. The two worlds have vast multiverses, and it's impossible for them to be so closely connected. In other words, there aren't many universes where the two worlds can truly achieve interconnection.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but recall the giant 'multiverse world tree' made of starlight that they saw during their journey through time. If that world tree is likened to the Marvel universe, then similarly, there would also be a world tree belonging to the DC universe.

These two world trees are composed of multiverses developed from different timelines, and they are constantly developing, expanding, influencing, and colliding with each other. Eventually, some timelines of the multiverse will become 'entangled.'

And this is the initial zone where the two independent timeline multiverse world trees connect. These few multiverses that have become entangled in error will become 'anchor points,' deepening the connection between the two different universes.

"So, if you calculate it that way, it's not that the two universes have created a passage, but that one of the many infinite multiverses of Marvel happened to connect with one of the timelines of the DC universe, ultimately leading to this erroneous crossover."

Zhang Ye rubbed their chin. They weren't a top student, so they didn't understand such profound physics very well. They could only guess in a way that was relatively close to what they had seen and heard.

After all, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing. Before the crossing, they even thought that those comics were fictional and could never appear in reality.

And thinking of this, Zhang Ye suddenly thought of some even more terrifying things.

If they remembered correctly, the DC comics and the MonsterVerse had also produced a crossover in their past life. The Justice League and Godzilla and Kong would also become entangled. Besides that, Marvel also had Predator vs. Wolverine. Could it be...

Zhang Ye didn't dare to think any further. They only felt that their situation was extremely dangerous, and their mind was very confused. Having experienced so many things in a short period of time, Zhang Ye only felt that the pressure on them was increasing.

It's better to go back and get a good night's sleep first. Thinking too much is useless. Shaking their head, Zhang Ye threw the mess in their mind aside, then turned and walked into a small alley.

This alley was a shortcut back to the hotel. Usually, not many people would walk this way. Only some scavengers or people living nearby would take this route. At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the street, only Zhang Ye and a pair of twins walking towards them.

Zhang Ye rubbed their temples, trying not to think about anything else. Currently, the most important thing for them was to get a good rest. Before, in order to hurry on their way, Zhang Ye had driven all the way, not daring to rest even when passing through war zones. They had only relaxed now, and their eyes were already bloodshot.

The two men walking towards them looked like twins. They were whispering something to each other. Zhang Ye subconsciously made way for them to pass.

But just as the two sides passed each other, the already exhausted Zhang Ye suddenly heard a sentence, and this sentence made Zhang Ye instantly break out in a cold sweat.

Their whole body instantly perked up!

".I don't know. General Zod..."

".We need to assemble the Justice League."
