Turning his head sharply, Zhang Ye's previously relaxed expression instantly tightened.

Assemble the Justice League!?

When General Zod invaded, there wasn't a damn Justice League. Batman wasn't prepared at all, and other than watching the battlefield from the ground and feeling helpless, he couldn't do anything. The Flash did his best, but only managed to save one child.

As for Wonder Woman and Aquaman, one was hiding among the crowds, not showing her face, and the other was drinking on the beach, not participating in the battle at all. Not to mention that black kid who was still a football player; he hadn't been turned into Cyborg by the Mother Box yet.

And the most crucial thing is that without any external interference, no one would know the name 'Justice League,' let alone want to gather its members in advance, because that's something that would only happen in the future.

So, for that guy to say something like that means that he, like me, isn't a 'native' of this universe at all!

Twins?

No.

They're not twins at all.

They are counterparts existing on two different timelines, or rather, interlopers from another timeline. He is disrupting the original timeline and causing it to evolve into a part of the multiverse.

And there aren't many people in the DC Universe who can do that, because interfering with the timeline is an extremely dangerous thing.

But coincidentally, there is one being who does it often, and is always brought out to be sacrificed or to clean up after major events.

Even more coincidentally, in Zhang Ye's memory, before he transmigrated, this scene actually appeared in the DC film universe!

Zhang Ye stared intently at the two young figures walking away, feeling his lips go dry.

This isn't the Man of Steel timeline at all; this timeline is the damn Flashpoint Universe from The Flash movie!

This Flashpoint Universe was created because The Flash, Barry Allen, went back in time to save his mother, interfering with the original timeline. And because this timeline was artificially created, it's extremely unstable and destined to be destroyed.

Like branches on a towering tree, many multiverses are constantly being born and developing, but if there are too many, it can easily cause chaos in the multiverse, leading to collisions and destruction between two or more universes.

So, in the development stage of the multiverse, many universes are destined to be destroyed in order to ensure the safety of other multiverses. They are like pruned branches, worlds that will be abandoned no matter what.

However, most of these universes are created accidentally. Their birth and destruction are like a law. But if someone artificially interferes with the development of the timeline, it will instantly destroy the linear development of the original timeline, creating an extremely unstable and out-of-control parallel world.

Not many people possess this power, but once they do, it will cause extremely terrifying effects.

Their interference with the timeline will create a time paradox, a fulcrum, an 'absolute time node' formed by individual actions, which can never be broken, and this universe is destined to perish.

The Flash going back in time to save his mother, this seemingly small act, formed an independent fulcrum, which directly changed the entire universe, not only the new future but also rewriting the past.

This led to Zeus in this universe not giving birth to Wonder Woman, Aquaman's parents never meeting, and Superman being intercepted when he left Krypton. He never landed on Earth, and instead, his cousin Supergirl came to Earth.

And all of this is due to The Flash altering the timeline, and this world will eventually be destroyed when General Zod arrives on Earth.

Because at this moment, no one will stand up to defeat General Zod. There is no one on Earth who can stop General Zod anymore.

Watching the two Barry Allens gradually disappear around the street corner, Zhang Ye's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. He thought he had a few years to plan properly, but he was caught off guard by reality.

From General Zod's appearance on Earth to his killing and seizing the Codex from Supergirl, and then activating the World Engine to transform the Earth, it only took a few days.

It's clear that there isn't much time left...

"F*ck! Can't you let me rest for a while?" Zhang Ye punched the wall hard. After figuring out his current situation, Zhang Ye felt even more of a headache.

He didn't chase after Barry Allen directly, because even if he found them, it wouldn't change the fact that all this was going to happen. The most important thing now is to find a way to leave this universe.

"I haven't transmigrated for very long, and I'm either running or on the way to running. I'm really impressed." Zhang Ye returned to the hotel, looked at Pietro, who had already fallen asleep, and Zhang Ye also lay down on the other bed.

He hadn't thought it through properly before, so when he transmigrated, Zhang Ye couldn't bring anything from the ruined Marvel universe that could improve his combat power. The only useful Iron Suit was crushed by President X.

After reflecting, this time, Zhang Ye decided that he couldn't transmigrate without preparation again.

Although this world is about to be destroyed by General Zod, there are quite a few good treasures here. If he can take them all with him, Zhang Ye will have a certain ability to protect himself.

But before that, in order to avoid dying halfway before starting his business, Zhang Ye decided to get a good night's sleep.

Time passed bit by bit.

General Zod's warning to Earth attracted the attention of countries all over the world. This was the first time people had personally experienced aliens landing on Earth, which led to a great deal of discussion about the event throughout the entire planet.

Many people felt that they could hand over that alien in exchange for peace with the Kryptonians, but more people were curious about whether there were more aliens living on Earth if there really were aliens in the world, and if there were aliens living on Earth.

No one could answer this question for them, because even Zhang Ye at this time couldn't guarantee that Martian Manhunter or Green Lantern were on Earth.

If this universe is destined to be destroyed according to its development, then those heroes who might have existed, like Aquaman and Wonder Woman, will not appear or be born.

At the same time, various countries began to vigorously search for the Kryptonian compatriot mentioned by General Zod, but after more than ten hours, there were no clues.

The morning sun gradually rose, and the sunlight shone on the earth, but this seemingly beautiful weather did not make people feel happy, because General Zod's spaceship had entered the Earth's atmosphere.

Like a sharp blade, hanging over everyone's head.
