"...Do not."

With Selina's intelligence, she immediately realized something.

"Where is he? I want to find him and bring him back!"

At this moment, Selena could no longer care about her past reserve and arrogance. Her voice even trembled a little, and she wanted to leave after speaking.

"Selena! Calm down!"

The only one who was familiar with Selena among these people was Dick Grayson as Robin. This big boy, who was about the same age as Barry, grabbed Selena, but he didn't know how to persuade her. and comfort, because he was also gritting his teeth at the moment, trying not to let his emotions get out of control.

While Selena was struggling, she suddenly felt a slight sting on the back of her neck, and then a strong sense of dizziness occupied her brain. Her eyes rolled upward, and she fainted softly in the arms of Robin, who was in a daze.

At this time, Cyborg stood beside him at some point and withdrew his hand.

"This is a sleeping injection, it's harmless. In this case... it's better to let her sleep."

Cyborg also shook his head and said to Robin.

"Please take her down and look after her."

"...If you need anything, you can always call me."

Young Robin also knew that he could not help much here, and silently left the conference hall with Selina.

"Mom, Louise, you can go down and have a rest. Leave this place to us."

When Superman saw Cyborg's eyes, he understood something. He took a deep breath and said to the two women beside him.

After inviting other relevant personnel out of the conference hall, only Cyborg, Green Arrow, Constantine, the five Lanterns, and Arthur, the Lightning King, who had just returned not long ago, were the only ones present. Barry Allen.

"Bruce..."

Barry hesitated to speak, but looking at the ugly faces of everyone, he still couldn't ask what was on his lips.

"We don't have much time now. Gaia may reappear at any time. We don't know what its sudden disappearance means, so we must get ahead of it and be prepared."

Constantine spoke at this time.

There was still a half-burnt cigarette in his hand, but it could be seen from the crumpled cigarette box on the ground that this was the last cigarette he had on him.

"Yes, there are also those monsters that suddenly appeared and are wreaking havoc in various areas. They have already caused serious casualties. We don't have much time left."

Cyborg took over.

"I have discussed both sides' opinions with Constantine regarding the contents of the USB flash drive left by Vandal Savage."

He asked the Flash first.

"You said you found traces of the magic lamp?"

"That's right... Well, although it's just my own guess, I think what I saw at a glance should be consistent with the magic lamp mentioned."

Barry spoke quickly and described the scene at that time.

"Arthur and I entered a strange sea. He went down to explore the seabed, and I decided to try and see if I could find the border of that sea. But in the short period of time when I was running on the sea with my divine speed, Within ten seconds, I suddenly discovered that the Speed ​​Force took me briefly into a very strange space. I don’t know how to describe that place... There were colorful and very strange lights everywhere, as if in In some kind of tunnel, and then at the end of the tunnel, I saw an unknown object with golden light all over its body. It was so bright, like a small sun, but it was not hot. I couldn't step forward to take a look. Looking carefully, I suddenly felt as if I was blocked by some invisible barrier, and then I was knocked out by it..."

"You mean, knocked out?"

Cyborg asked.

"That's right, I crashed out and fell directly onto the water. I tried to use the Speed ​​Force to enter that place, but I found that I couldn't find the entrance."

Barry Allen scratched his head in distress.

Cyborg and Constantine looked at each other.

"So Neptune, did you find anything?"

"I didn't find anything. The time was too short. I didn't have time to investigate in detail, so I was called back by you."

Arthur shrugged. In fact, he did not want to stay in that ghost place.

"It seems that the information left by Vandal Savage is indeed correct."

"What's right?"

Clark, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"About the location of the magic lamp."

Cyborg quickly walked to the main console. He had already integrated the USB flash drive prepared by Vandal Savage into his biological computer body. He stretched out his mechanical fingers and his fingertips turned into USB interfaces. appearance, and then inserted into the data device on the main console.

The large screen flickered, and dense text and graphic records appeared on the screen.

"The legendary magic lamp cannot be found because it is hidden by God in the veil of time and space."

The cigarette in Constantine's hand has now burned to the end.He took a sharp puff, the last sparks extinguishing, and as a puff of smoke lingered on his cheeks, he spoke slowly.

"Space-time obscuration? What is that?"

Neptune Arthur didn't understand what this meant.

"Space-time obscuration refers to a concealment method that is completely unreachable by our current scientific methods. It can also be used for protection, because it breaks through not only the limitations of physics and energy, but also includes space, time, It even touches the dimensions.”

Cyborg explained.

"Based on the information left by Savage, Constantine and I exchanged opinions and came to the most likely factual reason, which is the obscuration of time and space. And in fact...it is impossible to know this with our current knowledge. I found some theoretical knowledge in the database of Kryptonian civilization, and after reading and comparing it, I came to the most credible conclusion."

"The story begins more than 3 years ago..."

He intuitively pulled out his other hand and projected a faint blue light, enlarging a virtual projection and presenting it in front of everyone.

"According to the information left by Vandal Savage, one day more than 3 years ago, the earth was suddenly greeted by a meteorite. It was a very large meteorite group, and Savage was where he was at that time. The primitive tribe was within the range of the meteorite... The large-scale meteorite impact caused great damage and casualties, and even killed nearly two-thirds of the primitive tribe's savages, but Savage escaped by chance. He suffered a catastrophe and was attracted by the brightest meteorite that night."

“According to what he said, he was still mentally uncivilized, and because of his vague awe and curiosity about the unknown, he slept next to this meteorite, and when he woke up, he had the ability to live forever. "

"Is this meteorite related to the magic lamp?"

Barry Allen is keenly aware of possible causal connections in the story.

"Yes."

Cyborg nodded.

"At noon the next day, Vandal Savage saw a scene that he would never forget. 'A ray of golden light fell from the sky, revealing a vague figure composed of endless golden light. His aura was awe-inspiring, and he The light makes people feel as dazzling as the sun. His existence is like seeing the truth of the universe and the origin of all existence. He is just floating in mid-air, as if there is a mountain as tall and majestic as the heaven and earth and everything invisible. All tangible things were praising him... He smashed the meteorite, and a lamp object made of the same golden brilliance appeared from the meteorite. With a wave of the man's hand, the golden lamp disappeared, leaving only Meteor fragments all over the place'."

"...That person is God?"

Clark couldn't help but make a sound.

"Yes, although we may not be able to understand what kind of existence this is, it should indeed be the origin of 'God', and it is also the first time it has appeared on earth."

"the first time?"

Hal touched his chin, and the brows on his forehead were almost squeezed together.

"So, 'God' has appeared on the earth many times?"

"Yes, 'God' appeared for the second time at the end of the ancient war."

At this time, a familiar deep voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, which made everyone stunned. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the people around them, but they did not find the identity of the voice.

"It's Bruce! Are you still alive!?"

Clark was the first to notice that it was the voice coming from the miniature headset.

"Open the passage, Cyborg, and pick me up."

Bruce added another sentence in the communication channel.

"...Okay, I'll pick you up right now."

Cyborg came back from his daze, with a look of disbelief on his face, but he was still more happy than shocked. He quickly withdrew his hands, made inputs in front of the console, and activated hyperspace teleportation to locate Bruce's location.

Then he discovered that the signal link with the Hell Bat Armor had been restored at some point.

Looking at his hands in confusion, Cyborg called up the surveillance image of the monster that was more than 200 meters on the ground. He could directly observe the giant mountain-like monster on the ground from the satellite tower... I saw that this monster still lowered its huge head, standing on the ground like a mountain of meat. However, when viewed from a distance through the satellite's high-precision electronic lens, the heat and red light coming from it seemed to be dimmed. .

White light was cast from the ceiling in the hall, and a tall and ferocious black humanoid armor emerged from the waterfall-like particle flow. It moved forward with heavy steps. The Hell Bat Armor stopped moving when it reached the fourth step.

The hot air circulated, and the armor made the sound of mechanical friction against each other. Then it opened from the inside out, and Bruce walked out intact wearing a nano-coated bat armor.

As if to take a breath, the Dark Knight then took off the mask on his head, revealing a head of very conspicuous pale gray hair.
