Barry helplessly shrugged as he heard the others speak, "As it stands, what we've seen is already frightening enough, the Origin Wall..."
"The Origin Wall exploded, and Luthor's Destruction Legion is resurrecting an Ancient God, we all know that," White Wally continued, "You are in the future now, we saw it back then too, remember?"
"I remember you were at the Shelter..." Barry scratched his head.
Wally rolled his eyes, somewhat helplessly, "Yeah, back then I was with dozens of other superheroes, and we felt the entire multiverse shaking crazily, do you think we'd hide under the bed?"
Barry realized he asked a silly question, yes, those who went to the Shelter for psychological counseling were superheroes; they have their ways to see what's happening in the universe.
John, who had become the future White Lantern, was heavily balding at this point and now a bald Black man, looked very intimidating yet spoke very kindly, "The Void outside the Origin Wall is howling to devour our multiverse, we all knew back then."
Green Lantern Hero John felt a peculiar sensation looking at his old self, "So how do we stop all this?"
White Superman shook his head, saying something that shocked the Justice League: "You can't. On the contrary, you must accelerate this process, this is the only method I've seen after searching through billions of possibilities across countless time streams."
Seeing everyone was shocked by his statement, he continued explaining.
"In the All-Powerful Universe, when any multiverse is destroyed before reaching its ultimate evolutionary form, it reverts to the beach it was created on, facing the final judgment that decides its fate."
Batman frowned, "Created by whom?"
"By Super Gods, those high-dimensional gods like Papetua," White Superman nodded at Bruce, and when mentioning gods, he had a slight bitter smile on his face, "I used to be a non-believer, but now I must admit their existence."
Ron took over the topic, "But according to Mars Elder's prophecy, Papetua..."
"She's a villain, you got things right, but I have more to say now." Superman resumed, seizing the conversation back, and his experiences over these decades seemed to make him more assertive, "She used seven kinds of Dark Creation Power to create a multiverse wanting to spawn some evil things and seek immortality. But her sons, the Watcher, Anti-Monitor, World Forger, you know, intentionally drew some others' attention to stop her..... thus she was sealed within the Origin Wall and the multiverse got covered by the Fourth Dimension, everything normalized."
"..." Batman just listened silently, there were too many clues and he had no ideas for the moment.
"And now she's free, the first thing she wants is to reclaim her multiverse, to turn it into a weapon to kill her fellow kin," he explained. "We must reclaim our universe and guide it to a better path so that when it reaches the beach, we can prove to the ultimate judge that it's valuable and shouldn't be destroyed."
Superman finished sharing his past actions, observing everyone's expressions, only Batman was still lost in thought, while others gave up thinking.
Although Ron was also smart, his attention at the moment was on the matter of having kids with Kendra in the future.
"Why does she want to hurt her kin, if, I mean, they are all Creator Gods?" Batman asked a relatively concerned question, which relates to Papetua's motive in controlling the multiverse.
Superman nodded, explaining immediately, "Because she's a seed, what should happen to a seed after hatching a plant?"
"To be decomposed by microorganisms and environment, becoming nutrient." Batman instantly answered.
"Exactly, her three sons were supposed to be the managers of the multiverse, after reaching this stage, she should have died, becoming nourishment for our universe, but she doesn't intend to sacrifice herself as nourishment, she wants to coexist indefinitely with the multiverse she created...so she entered this multiverse herself to evade her kin's gaze, making them think she had died, naturally, this violated the rules."
Superman turned his wrist, implying Batman was right, and continued sharing some intelligence.
Batman pinched his chin, "Whose rules?"
Superman showed a familiar expression, the kind that didn't know how to put things, shrugged, "Who knows, although we saved the Earth, we actually only have minimal knowledge of the All-Powerful Universe, friends, we need to continue our research together to make the world a better place."
Batman took a deep breath, although still puzzled, he already knew too much now and needed some digestion, so he nodded, "Alright, then what do we do next?"
Superman pulled a face as if seeing a ghost, grinning and shook his head, "Sorry, you ask me what to do? Isn't formulating strategies your usual job? So, how about you all take a casual tour of the New World today, then we'll have a meeting after you understand the situation, tomorrow, how about it?"
"...Alright."
Hearing Superman uncharacteristically handing over the command, Batman was relieved halfway, and Clark was right, he indeed needed some more specific, firsthand intelligence.
Superman smiled, assigning guides for everyone to explore around the world, exclaiming loudly, "Although there might be more hardships in the future, soon you'll find to what we were in the past, this world now.....is a dream come true!"
..........
"Whew, whew..."
Batman was clutching his stomach, running across the rooftop in pursuit of a black and yellow agile figure in front.
Deathstroke tauntingly turned his head while escaping, using trash talk to provoke Batman, yet Batman, being merely human, lacked the physical prowess to match a super-modified person and had no energy to retort currently.
"Help me, Robin, I just can't outrun him!"
From a psychic level, Batman sent out a plea for help, and Can Luo suddenly appeared in the air wearing a sea star version of Robin Uniform!
"Coming, Dad!"
With a splat, it latched onto Deathstroke's face, easily taking control of him.
Quickly Batman and the police arrived and sent Deathstroke to jail, Batman fondly hugged Can Luo, "Well done, as expected of my favorite Robin."
The sea star blushed red, squirming a bit bashfully in Batman's embrace, "No, don't say that....."
"I mean it, you are my most beloved Robin!" Batman showed a warm smile.
"Beloved, hehe...beloved..." the sea star happily closed its eyes.
A strange voice seemed to come from afar, interrupting the tender father-son moment.
"Wake up! Quick, wake up!"
Suddenly, Can Luo felt someone shoving it, and it seemed not in Batman's embrace but inside a jar.
Opening its eyes, it found two long-haired men staring closely, as if intending to make it an appetizer.
Knowing Earthlings sometimes eat sea stars, either deep-fried or with mustard paste, but he was an alien sea star!
And this was the Hall of Justice, would anyone eat it here? Didn't everyone know it as Batman's beloved little darling?
Settling down, it recognized the two big faces as Star Hero and Sea King, breathing a sigh of relief at this.
But once it saw the glowing purple figure behind them, like a small sun, it instantly screamed on a psychic level.
"Oh my god! It's the Troublemaker!"
Sea King glanced at Star Hero, raising the sea star jar, "Great, you finally woke up, help us see what Troublemaker is thinking? He's been glowing since just now."
Taking Batman into account, Can Luo was willing to help the Justice League a bit, though puzzled why it was chosen instead of Ron, it didn't matter.
Thus Can Luo activated its spiritual power, connected to Troublemaker's brain, finding his thoughts well-guarded by an energy that couldn't be penetrated, only hearing Troublemaker seemingly mesmerizing himself with a repeated line.
"Erase this timeline before it's too late..."
