Arrival in Metropolis
Omniverse
There is no time, no space here. There is only an endless "Blood Domain" that envelops Multiverse Crystal Wall System.
The Marvel Universe is one bubble. The DC Universe is another bubble.
In the past, only supreme deities who transcended dimensions could traverse this void.
But today.
It pierced deep into the Crystal Wall System outer shell of the DC Main Universe!
Earth-0. DC Main Universe.
Metropolis.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
At the top of the Daily Planet building, the huge golden globe gleamed in the sunlight.
Clark Kent sat at his cramped desk, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses, typing out a press release about the mayoral election.
Sudden.
Click--!!!
A terrifying roar, beyond decibel measure, exploded deep within the Soul Stone of all humanity!
This is not thunder. This is not an explosion.
This is the sound of the glass of "reality" being shattered from the outside.
"Ugh!"
Clark Kent suddenly covered his ears and bent over in pain.
His exceptional hearing, which he was so proud of, instantly detected the agonizing screams of the entire universe's underlying structure being torn apart!
Two streams of blood oozed from his eardrums.
The skies above the Metropolis.
The sky cracked open.
There were no dark clouds, no alien spaceships.
Suddenly, a pure black crack tens of thousands of kilometers long appeared in the azure sky.
At the edge of the crack, extremely violent blue dimensional lightning flashed.
This is not a portal.
This is an extremely barbaric and irrational act of violent demolition!
At this moment, the entire Earth let out a mournful cry of unbearable burden.
Gravity began to malfunction. The seawater in the Metropolis began to flow backward. Active volcanoes around the world issued warnings of eruption at the same time.
Gotham City.
Deep beneath Wayne Manor: The Batcave.
Rumble!
The violent tremors caused stalactites to fall wildly from the top of the Batcave. The huge coin, which was the prize, crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
Bruce Wayne sprang up from his chair.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
On the Batcomputer, more than a hundred monitoring screens turned blood red—the color representing the highest level of disaster—within a fraction of a second!
"Alfred! Report the situation!" Bruce grabbed the bat helmet from the table.
"Young Master..."
On the communicator, the old butler Alfred's voice was trembling for the first time ever.
"It wasn't an earthquake. It wasn't a nuclear bomb. The space above Metropolis... was burned through."
Bruce stared intently at the main screen.
On the screen, the energy reading of the black crack in the sky above the Metropolis was displayed.
That reading, after jumping once, directly exceeded the highest threshold set by the Batcomputer.
The screen is full of garbled text.
"It's not Parademons invasion... This energy level even surpasses the Mother Box of Apokolips."
Bruce Wayne's pupils shrank to pinpoints. Cold sweat soaked his back.
He has faced countless villains, the Joker, and alien armies.
But what's being displayed on the screen isn't the energy of some kind of life form at all. It's a "dimensional catastrophe" powerful enough to destroy the entire universe!
"Activate the highest level red alert for the Justice League!"
Bruce slammed the helmet down on his head.
"Prepare the Batwing. I'm heading to Metropolis!"
Top floor of the Daily Planet building in Metropolis.
Bang!
The security door leading to the rooftop was smashed open by a tremendous force.
Clark Kent rushed onto the rooftop.
He ripped off his tie and grabbed the collar of his white shirt with both hands, tearing it open with force!
Sizzle.
It revealed the dark blue battle suit underneath, and the dazzling bright red "S" logo on the chest, representing "hope".
He raised his head, his eyes fixed on the crack in the sky tens of thousands of meters above that was spewing blue lightning.
Bang!
Clark bent his knees slightly and suddenly exerted force!
The concrete on the rooftop was instantly cracked in a spiderweb pattern by the weight of the footsteps.
He transformed into a red and blue afterimage, instantly breaking the sound barrier. With several massive white sonic boom clouds surrounding him, he shot into the sky like a missile going against the current!
High altitude. Edge of the atmosphere.
The spatial rift, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers, began to slowly close under the frantic repair efforts of the DC Universe's laws.
The raging blue lightning gradually subsided.
but.
The intruders have already entered.
A person emerged from that dark void.
He wore a fitted, all-black trench coat, his black hair flying wildly in the gale-force winds at 10,000 meters above the ground.
On his left wrist, he wore a strange watch face with a flowing dark gold starry sky code.
Jiang Li.
He did not use any transformation abilities or anti-gravity devices.
Relying solely on the lingering conceptual power of [Ultimate Alien X], he stood firmly in the vacuum, hands in his pockets.
It felt like stepping on the steps of my own house.
"This is DC's Main Universe."
Jiang Li took a deep breath of the thin air at high altitude.
He looked down at the unfamiliar yet bustling continent of Earth beneath his feet.
[Bite!]
The system's cold, robotic notification sound exploded in my mind.
[Successfully breached the DC Universe's Crystal Wall System!]
[Current Identity Determination: High-Dimensional Unauthorized Intruder (Extremely Dangerous)!]
[Warning: The host's forced arrival has triggered the highest level of hostility lock-on from the will of this universe!]
"Hostile lock-on?"
Jiang Li sneered.
"I even took down Marvel's the Living Tribunal."
"We're here to buy goods."
Buzz--!!!
The moment Jiang Li finished speaking...
The churning sea of clouds beneath our feet was suddenly torn apart by an extremely terrifying physical force!
"Halt! Unknown entity!"
A roar filled with majesty and power pierced through the clouds.
Immediately afterwards.
A red and blue afterimage, traveling at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound and even approaching the speed of light, carried terrifying kinetic energy capable of shattering mountains.
It charged straight at Jiang Li!
Superman has arrived!
His deep blue eyes were fixed on Jiang Li, and his gaze was already turning a dangerous crimson light due to extreme vigilance— his Heat Vision was charging.
This is the fighting stance Superman adopts when facing a truly cosmic-level threat.
That's too fast.
It's so fast that the average person's retina can't even detect it.
But Jiang Li.
He stood still, neither flinching nor dodging. He didn't even blink.
He watched as the figure in a blue bodysuit, a red cape, and an "S" logo on his chest rushed towards him.
A slow, wide smile spread across Jiang Li's lips.
Instead of defending himself, he took a step forward.
He slowly raised his left hand, pointing the dark gold Omnitrix at the oncoming steel body.
"Krypton genes."
"I'll accept it."
