American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

57. Heading to the Battlefield



The emergency news instantly caught everyone's attention, even the distracted Kara stood up, her eyes locked onto the TV screen.

"They've started attacking," young Barry Allen exclaimed.

"Probably because the military has no information about Kara and no corresponding intelligence," Barry Allen frowned. In his memory, Superman had proactively contacted the military and boarded the ship with a reporter alongside General Zod.

"Humans are no match for them. Continuing like this will only lead to unnecessary deaths," Kara's eyes were filled with hatred for Zod. Originally, Krypton was a peaceful and hopeful planet, but now she wished she could immediately kill General Zod, the disgrace of Krypton.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go support them," young Barry Allen said, unable to sit still.

Seeing that Barry Allen and the others were getting restless, Pietro quickly stopped them.

"Don't act rashly. Alex and Bruce haven't come out yet. Without the equipment made from those stones, we won't be of any use."

"But who knows how long they'll take? What if General Zod activates the World Engine..." Barry Allen's voice was filled with concern.

"It's already done."

Before the agitated Barry Allen could finish, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw Batman and Alex emerging from the laboratory. After long hours of experimentation, both looked a bit tired, but their spirits were high. As they approached, Alex already knew what they wanted to say. He raised his hand to signal for them to look at him and then spoke directly.

"We are aware of the situation. Everyone, get ready. We will depart in five minutes. We have also prepared weapons against the Kryptonians. We'll discuss the detailed plan on the way. For now, put your gear on."

Hearing this, everyone quickly got to work, putting on their suits.

Barry Allen took out the suit stored in his ring, made of special fibers, which could be shrunk and stored in the ring. When needed, it could be taken out at any time. Although its appearance wasn't very appealing, at least according to Alex, the suit was somewhat hard to appreciate.

Young Barry Allen had modified old Batman's suit, painting it red and adding a lightning bolt on the chest, likely trying to emulate the style of the older Barry Allen.

Kara, as usual, wore her suit, while Pietro, during this period, had used various high-tech resources in the Batcave to create a blue suit inspired by the stories Alex told him about Quicksilver from other universes.

Bruce Wayne handed out specially made bat masks to everyone and reminded them, "The fear gas is very potent, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to wear these."

"No problem," everyone nodded in agreement, seeing Batman so serious.

Batman and Alex had spent the whole night figuring out how to integrate the radiation-carrying stones into the fear toxin. Currently, the only thing that could threaten the Kryptonians was Kryptonite. To make the fear gas effective, Kryptonite had to be added.

In the comics, many villains used similar methods to cause Superman a lot of trouble.

The most well-known example was in the Injustice storyline, where Joker kidnapped Superman's wife, Lois, and used a similar Kryptonite gas to cause Superman to hallucinate, leading him to mistake her for Doomsday and inadvertently kill both Lois and their unborn child.

This showed that certain toxins could indeed be very effective, even against powerful Kryptonians, as long as Kryptonite was integrated. Alex took this moment to pull young Barry Allen aside. Seeing the extremely nervous young Barry, Alex thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Barry, we will definitely win this time, so don't be nervous. I've got your back."

"Yeah, I... I'm just facing this kind of situation for the first time," young Barry Allen forced a smile, still a student.

"Relax. Do you see that clock?" Alex patted young Barry's shoulder and pointed to a clock not far away.

"Yes, I see it."

"Remember this time. I want you to promise me that if we don't win or if you encounter any problems, you'll appear here exactly five seconds from now."

After speaking, Alex stopped and held his breath, waiting quietly. Young Barry was puzzled but remained silent, looking around with Alex.

After about ten seconds, young Barry couldn't hold back any longer and whispered, "Alex, what are we waiting for?"

"Nothing," Alex gave young Barry a deep look and then smiled slightly. "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Remember, your goal is to rescue those people while ensuring your safety as much as possible."

"Got it," young Barry Allen nodded firmly.

Time passed, and after everyone was ready, they gathered together. Due to the Batplane's limited capacity, only Batman, Pietro, and Alex could board. Kara and the two Flashs didn't need it; one could fly and the other two could run incredibly fast.

Seeing the group gathered, young Barry Allen, originally nervous, became excited. "We could be considered the Justice League, right?"

"No," Barry Allen instinctively replied.

"We're not?"

Barry Allen hesitated. "Barely. We're missing a one-hundred-percent goddess, a straightforward terminator, and a super mermaid."

"But your Justice League doesn't have allies from other universes," Pietro raised an eyebrow, confident that he and his allies were just as strong.

Pietro's joke lightened the tense atmosphere as they prepared for the upcoming battle.

Alex also smiled and put on his bird-beak mask.

"It's time to go."
