Traveling to DC, Batman Was About to Die

High in the sky, the system said somewhat speechlessly, "Host, you can travel through at ground level too. There's no need to fly this high!"

Lin Feng snorted. "What do you know, Dog System?"

"I flew this high so Susan wouldn't worry!"

"The less she knows, the happier she'll be!"

After explaining himself, Lin Feng could not resist taking another jab. "You're obviously a single system. You don't even understand something this simple!"

"Get lost!"

The system cursed with a dark expression.

"Prepare to travel! This system will send you to have a satisfying fight with Superman!"

Buzz!

As soon as the system finished speaking, a dark red portal appeared before Lin Feng.

It was a Portal, a passage connecting Marvel and the DC Universe.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The passage within the portal was very short, and Lin Feng quickly flew through it.

On the other side of the passage was Blue Star in the DC Universe!

And at the moment Lin Feng entered the Portal, The Ancient One, who had been meditating on Earth, suddenly opened her eyes.

She suddenly sensed that Lin Feng's presence had vanished—vanished from the entire universe.

Confused, she took out the Time Stone and observed the future, trying to find Lin Feng...

The system's Portal directly transported Lin Feng above New York in the DC Universe. It was daytime.

"Ding~" The system's voice rang out again.

"The mission has begun. Countdown: 10 days. Please complete the mission within the time limit!"

Once it finished speaking, the Portal slowly disappeared.

Time was limited, so Lin Feng did not hesitate.

He had already devised a plan before traveling here. He immediately used Super Hearing to cover the entire United States and gather information.

In an instant, countless sounds flooded into Lin Feng's mind like a tide.

Lin Feng calmed his breathing and focused, carefully sorting through them.

He planned to find Batman and the others first, then learn what exactly was going on.

According to the information provided by the system, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman should currently be together.

Sure enough, just as Lin Feng had expected.

In less than half a minute, Lin Feng found the voices he wanted.

"Found them!" Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. He had heard Diana and Victor talking.

Boom!

A sonic boom rang out as Lin Feng shot toward the source of the voices at top speed...

In a quiet private hospital, inside a patient room.

Bruce Wayne lay on the hospital bed, barely breathing.

His right chest had been pierced by Heat Vision fired by the corrupted Superman, Clark Kent.

If Diana had not blocked one attack for him, Batman would probably already be dead.

After several hours of emergency treatment, they had barely pulled Bruce back from the brink of death.

However, an entire day had already passed, and Bruce Wayne still had not awakened.

His injuries were far too severe, while the current situation was extremely dire. Blue Star in the DC Universe was in imminent danger.

Three or four people sat or stood around the hospital room.

Diana, Aquaman, Victor, and Bruce's butler, Alfred.

All of them were grim-faced and wounded. Victor was repairing his mechanical body.

Alfred stood beside the hospital bed, tears glistening in his eyes.

He had watched Bruce grow up, watched him gradually become Batman, a symbol of justice, and watched him fall and rise again time after time.

But this time was different. Bruce's injuries were so severe that even if he recovered, he would no longer be able to don the mantle of Batman and fight evil.

The food Alfred had brought sat untouched on the table.

The danger facing Blue Star had not been resolved, and the superhero team's strategist was down. At a moment like this, no one had any appetite.

"...Sigh."

Diana looked at Bruce on the bed and lowered her head with a sigh. Among them, she had suffered the lightest injuries.

"This isn't your fault, Diana!"

Victor spoke up. "If you hadn't blocked that attack in time, Bruce wouldn't even have had a chance to be rescued."

Hearing Victor's words made Diana feel a little better. "I know. It's just..."

"If I had stopped Clark's attack sooner, Bruce wouldn't have been hurt this badly!"

"Now isn't the time to discuss that!" Aquaman, who had remained silent until then, interrupted them.

"The question is, what do we do next?"

At those words, everyone fell into a daze, and the room sank into silence once more.

That was right. What were they supposed to do next...

Bruce Wayne, the team's strategist, was down, and he might never get back up again.

Barry Allen was traveling around the world with the last Mother Box, not even daring to remain in one place for long.

The corrupted Clark Kent would soon find Barry Allen, seize the Mother Box, and kill Barry Allen as easily as crushing an ant.

Thinking of Clark's black-red gleaming eyes and his savage green-tinged face, they all felt a lingering chill.

"Clark Kent has been controlled," Alfred said as he tucked Bruce's blanket around him and turned to the others.

"His condition is clearly abnormal. I saw footage of your battle through the young master's cameras."

"The most likely possibility is that Master Clark's mind has been controlled by something similar to magic."

"To defeat Clark, we need to find the person controlling him!" Alfred continued. "I believe it is most likely that monster called Steppenwolf."

"So if we want to save the world, we must find Steppenwolf first."

"As for Master Clark, although this isn't a good solution..." Alfred said as he took out a briefcase. When he opened it, several green crystals lay quietly inside.

"Kryptonite will restrict his movements!" As he spoke, Alfred gently placed the case on the table.

He looked regretfully at the Kryptonite. If Master Wayne had brought it with him last time, perhaps things would have turned out differently.

"I'll go heat up some food for everyone. Only when you're full will you have the strength to keep fighting the darkness."

With that, Alfred walked out.

No one spoke in the hospital room. They looked at one another, all pondering Alfred's words.

After a long while, Diana could not help but speak. "We have no way to find Steppenwolf!"

"Steppenwolf won't show himself until the third Mother Box is activated."

"The last unactivated Mother Box is in Barry's hands, and Superman is searching the world for him."

"Even if Steppenwolf appears, can we defeat both Steppenwolf and Clark?"

"We don't have much time..." Diana sighed again.

The situation had reached a deadlock, something none of them wanted to see.

Aquaman stood with a grim expression, his trident striking the floor with a bang! "Then we go fight Clark first!"

This was the best option for now. They had to deal with their strongest enemy first. Otherwise, if the Mother Box fell into Clark's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Diana nodded in agreement. "With the Kryptonite, we can give it a try."

"If we can bring the controlled Clark over to our side, our chances of winning will improve."

"Victor, can you locate Barry Allen?" Diana asked Victor.

Victor's mechanical eye glowed red. "Yes. Mr. Bruce placed a tracker on him."

"I can monitor Barry Allen's location at all times."

"The problem now is, once we find him, who will fight Clark?" Victor's expression was grave.

Even all of them combined were no match for Superman. They had to come up with a workable plan if they wanted a chance to take Clark down.

This was practically their last hope. They had to proceed with utmost caution.

Diana was the first to speak. "I'll do it. I'll hold Clark back."

Diana had suffered the lightest injuries among them and was almost the strongest. She felt that this responsibility naturally fell to her, and she was confident she could restrain Superman for a while.

"Victor, you'll turn the Kryptonite into a weapon and find an opportunity to drive it into Clark's body!"

Victor silently nodded.

"I'll hold Clark back with you!" Aquaman Arthur spoke. There was a wound on his left arm from Heat Vision, and black-red energy occasionally seeped out from it, preventing it from healing.

The corrupted Clark's Heat Vision seemed to have mutated. Wounds inflicted by it were nearly impossible to heal.

"You should stay and protect Bruce, Arthur." Diana looked at Aquaman's injured left arm and shook her head.

"I can do it! Let me go!" Arthur slammed his trident heavily against the floor again, making it clear that he was fine!

Diana looked at Arthur and fell silent. She did not want Arthur, whose combat strength had been greatly diminished, to continue fighting. It was too dangerous. One careless mistake, and Arthur could lose his life.

Just as they stood there looking at one another in silence, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out from inside the room!

"You're all no good! Let me do it!"
