Chapter 9: cooperate

Early morning, inside a high-level recuperation ward at Justice Mountain Base, Li Ang lay quietly on the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages. A weary Megan was asleep by his bedside, her eyes red, and tear stains still fresh on her cheeks. Li Ang had been in a coma for three days since the Saint Prisca bomb incident.

During this time, Megan had been the sole caregiver for Li Ang. Others also wanted to help, but their offers were declined. Megan assisted Li Ang with all his needs, from eating and drinking to personal hygiene. Initially, she felt shy about it, but later, after seeing everything that could or couldn't be seen, it no longer mattered.

If Li Ang were conscious at this moment, he would surely exclaim about the loss, thinking, 'How could something like that just be seen? Shouldn't there be something in return? What a waste!' (He would say this with righteous indignation).

Just then, a knock sounded, and Donna entered the ward with breakfast. Hearing the movement, Megan woke up. Donna opened the breakfast containers and said, "The test results are in. According to S.T.A.R. Labs' report, there's nothing wrong with his body. Logically, he should have woken up two days ago. But for some unknown reason, he's still in a comatose state. Science can't explain this phenomenon. All we can do is hope he wakes up soon."

Megan's slender hand gently stroked Li Ang's face. She leaned down, her crimson lips pressing against the young man's cheek. Then, holding a bowl of congee that had cooled sufficiently, she carefully spoon-fed it into Li Ang's mouth. Sunlight streamed diagonally into the ward, and time seemed to stand still. Love permeated the entire room; a beautiful princess was awaiting her prince's recovery. When all technological means had been exhausted, only unwavering faith remained.

At this moment, within Li Ang's mental space, Li Ang's consciousness suddenly awakened. Li Ang looked around: "Where is this? Wasn't I just fighting a bomb? Logically, with my internal energy protecting me, I shouldn't have died. At most, I should have been severely injured."

"Speaking of which, the power of that bomb was truly absurd. I just don't know how my little Megan is doing. I hope she's okay. If I were to die like this, she would probably be sad for a long time, sigh. What if she doesn't like me that much?" At this moment, Li Ang couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

A giant orb of light not far away caught Li Ang's attention. The huge yellow orb emitted a soft glow, gradually calming one's mind. Suddenly, a white-robed old man appeared in this space. His aged face exuded an unquestionable majesty, and his deep eyes seemed to contain the entire universe: "Yo, kid, you're finally awake."

Li Ang was startled by the sudden appearance of the old man: "Holy crap, old man, who are you?"

"It seems your mental state is quite good, isn't it? How do you like this world?" the old man asked with a smile.

Li Ang was sweating profusely at this moment, his brain rapidly strategizing. How did someone else know his biggest secret? The old man then said, "Oh, it's alright. Your soul, kid, was personally guided by me. You came from beyond the fourth wall; you are the biggest variable in this world. You don't have to worry about me doing anything to you. Not only that, I will even help you. Here."

The old man pointed to the yellow orb of light and said, "See this thing? This thing is the core of the entire DC Multiverse—a small part of it, about one percent. The complete form of this thing is the energy nexus of the entire DC Multiverse. However, I've also mixed some things that don't belong to the DC Multiverse into this one of yours. They're all good stuff; you can discover them yourself when the time comes."

"Bro, don't be a Riddler. If you know, just tell me. Be a good person all the way. When I grow up, whoever you want to deal with, I'll help you deal with them." Li Ang tried to get closer to this powerful figure.

For someone standing at the pinnacle of the multiverse like him, a physical body was no longer that important; it was something that could be changed at will. The old man's appearance before him was most likely for better communication.

The old man said with a hint of mischief, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You're quite an interesting kid. This orb of light of yours possesses the law of creation and the power to connect to other dimensions. I call it the Source of Evolution, meaning it can evolve in any direction and manifest any possibility. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it? But it's not that easy to master. Such high-dimensional power, even for those so-called 'masters of laws,' takes at least a millennium to even get started."

"But don't underestimate yourself, kid. There's a reason I chose you. You just need to know that this little thing saved your life, and you need to grow quickly, because the enemies you face are unimaginably powerful. Alright, time's up. You should go back now. Good luck, young man." At this moment, Li Ang was still processing the vast information when his body suddenly felt heavy, and he fainted.

Inside the ward, Megan was sitting by Li Ang's bedside when suddenly, Li Ang slowly opened his eyes and sat up. Before he could react, a slender figure had already pounced into his arms. Feeling the soft body in his embrace, Li Ang hugged Megan tightly: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"W-w-w, do you know how worried I was about you? You were in a coma for several days; I almost thought you wouldn't come back!" Megan cried tears of joy. "If you ever dare to do something so dangerous in front of me again, I won't forgive you!" Megan let out a cry and bit directly into Li Ang's shoulder.

“Alright, alright, I’m back, aren’t I? I’ll definitely be more careful next time,” Li Ang said, wrapping his arm around Megan’s waist.

He felt a ticklish sensation on his shoulder; Megan had bitten him very lightly, perhaps just releasing the worry she’d felt these past two days.

Meanwhile, in downtown Washington, a fierce battle was underway.

On the streets, a powerfully built humanoid robot was single-handedly fighting the entire Justice League.

This robot was Amazo, and he possessed an extremely abnormal ability: he could mimic any superpower he had witnessed.

This caused the League immense headaches; he could imitate Superman’s steel body and super strength, Martian Manhunter’s intangibility, and even Flash’s super speed.

Professor Ivo originally created this all-mimicking robot for the purpose of extending life, but on the day Amazo was activated, an unknown hacker infiltrated the professor's system, tampering with Amazo's thought processes and giving him independent thinking capabilities.

The result was as expected: Amazo's first act was to kill his creator, Professor Ivo.

However, after this, Amazo mysteriously disappeared for several days, only to suddenly reappear today in downtown Washington, wreaking havoc.

On the battlefield, Amazo continuously repelled League members with various abilities.

Just as Wonder Woman briefly controlled Amazo with her Lasso of Truth, Supergirl Kara, Clark, and Martian Manhunter all exerted their strength together, completely dismembering Amazo's limbs and torso.

Afterward, League members split into several groups to transport Amazo's body parts separately, incarcerating Amazo in different locations.

At this moment, on the top floor of LexCorp Tower, inside a luxurious office, Lex Luthor was watching the events that had unfolded in downtown Washington earlier that morning.

On the sofa, a long-legged beauty was lazily propping her legs up, scrolling through her phone: “Brother, I don’t understand why you put so much effort into something so meaningless.

You painstakingly hacked into Professor Ivo’s system and tampered with Amazo’s thought processes, but he escaped, and now he’s been dismantled by the Justice League.

You failed, understand, brother?” Luthor’s sister, Lena, was taunting her brother.

“No, no, no, you don’t understand.

The League needs to be kept busy right now; we need to avoid the League’s surveillance to prepare these big surprises, and before that, we need to attract the League’s attention.”

A hint of madness flashed in Luthor’s eyes, and he quickly walked out of the office.

Luthor took the high-speed elevator all the way down to the underground research facility.

As the lights came on, several chambers were visible in the vast laboratory.

Luthor walked up to one of them, which had a large 'S' imprinted on it.

Inside the chamber was a face identical to Superman’s:

“Project Kr Zero, a true Superman Clone, possessing all of Superman’s abilities, but because the Krypton genes were too difficult to control and often went berserk, he was put into cold storage.

And then there was you, Superboy.

I combined my own genes with Superman’s to create you.

Originally, you could have been used by me, become my weapon, but you ran away without permission!

I will definitely catch you back, definitely!” At this point, Luthor's eyes turned bloodshot.

On Apokolips, Darkseid sat on his throne, looking down at Vandal Savage: “I don’t need the help of Earthlings.

I will personally kill Superman, and you, self-proclaimed human, do you think living for thousands of years is impressive?” Darkseid’s eyes glowed faintly, and terrifying Omega Beams converged within them.

At this moment, Vandal Savage calmly stated: “We have now obtained the control program and genetic sequence for Doomsday.”

These few light words instantly startled Darkseid.

One must know that Doomsday was Krypton’s super weapon, possessing immense combat power.

His most terrifying aspect was his ability to resurrect indefinitely, and he could not be killed twice by the same method.

The most famous death of Superman was also Doomsday’s doing.

After that, Doomsday found Darkseid, and after being killed once by the Omega Beams, he evolved resistance.

He then brutally beat Darkseid, and finally, Darkseid had no choice but to seek Superman’s help to seal Doomsday.

And this was Darkseid’s humiliation—seeking help from his arch-enemy.

Darkseid was silent for a moment, then said: “Alright, this is the first and only cooperation.”

Inside Justice Mountain Base, Li Ang, who had mostly recovered, was doing rehabilitation exercises with Megan's assistance.

B04 Robin identified

B03 Aqualad identified

B05 Kid Flash identified

The three, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash, emerged from the teleportation portal and were overjoyed to see Li Ang had recovered, rushing up to embrace him.

“Hey, buddy, congratulations on your recovery,” Wally was the first to run over, saying with great delight.

“Glad to see you recovered, welcome back,” Kaldur’ahm said with a smile.

“Brother, you’re quite the ladies’ man,” Robin teased Li Ang at this moment.

“I attract them with my own charm, don’t I?” Li Ang walked beside Megan and embraced her.

At this moment, Megan’s face was beet red, and she buried her head in Li Ang’s shoulder.

The work has been signed.
