In the previous parallel universe, Joker, along with a host of villains who refused to submit to the corrupted Batman, tried to destroy the portal connected to the darkness. They relied on metal created by Lex Luthor using a heavy particle collider.
Although their efforts ultimately failed, the remaining metal Luthor produced played a huge role in subsequent events.
Upon returning to his own universe, Batman naturally tried to investigate this universe's Luthor and, sure enough, discovered a heavy particle collider at LexCorp.
However, the Luthor here had yet to create the energy source to power this heavy particle collider.
Or perhaps the Luthor of that other universe hadn't created it either, but had obtained a sufficiently large energy source as a substitute with the help of other supervillains.
And now, this Batman had one too.
When Lois was taken by the military and Superman went to turn himself in, Batman didn't even need information from Qingshui. Using his own detective skills, he followed the trail from the Daily Planet and Lois, pinpointing several suspicious identities.
Then, in the basement of Clark Kent's childhood home, the primary suspect, he discovered the escape pod that had brought him to Earth.
"I've figured out the principle behind their engine. It distorts spacetime through a gravitational field, similar to the engine in the sky, allowing for interstellar travel. This Dark Matter Metal also has the ability to distort reality and affect spacetime."
"This engine has a fatal flaw: when two engines of the same type collide, the previously orderly spacetime will become chaotic, and then..."
"And then it turns into a singularity?"
Barry blurted out, answering first.
When he was in Central City, he had also used the Speed Force to run and stop a singularity.
"Yes."
"Then how do you ensure this singularity won't continue to expand?"
"The spaceship's gravitational field requires energy to maintain. When the energy drive is destroyed by the singularity, the gravitational field cannot be maintained, and the spacetime anomaly will naturally subside."
Batman explained.
"Then why not use the engine from Superman's spaceship? That would be much safer than sneaking into LexCorp headquarters."
Mr. Freeze asked, puzzled.
"I think he might have disassembled those things while studying the alien technology on the spaceship and couldn't put them back together..."
Batman's old face, hidden under his mask, immediately darkened.
"No need for so many explanations. Watt and the others aren't having an easy time right now. The Flash, I need you to run quickly on the cosmic treadmill to power the heavy Particle Accelerator. Victor, when the Dark Matter Metal is blasted out, I need you to cool and extract it with your Freeze Gun."
...
...
*Boom!*
A Kryptonian wearing heavy Kryptonian battle armor, manipulated by Qingshui using White Knight, was single-handedly choked by the neck and slammed down from the top of a building. With his right hand clenched into a fist, Qingshui repeatedly pounded the other's head.
In terms of performance, White Knight's strength was lower than the armor controlled by this Kryptonian named Nam, but with the Speed Force's boost, Qingshui held the upper hand.
Furthermore, his defense was stronger. Relying on the powerful defense provided by the Promethium plating, he could ignore most of the opponent's attacks.
Among everyone present, perhaps only Superman, basking in ample sunlight and going all out, might have a slight chance of damaging the Promethium.
"Argh!!!"
The armor's mask was torn open, and Nam, suddenly affected by Earth's environment, let out a painful shriek.
Zod might be able to adapt to the yellow sun's radiation in a short time, but Nam couldn't.
Qingshui wouldn't give him that chance.
With his left hand pressing the opponent's head, he slammed it hard into the ground.
As the ground vibrated, a large pit appeared, and the cracks on Nam's helmet grew wider and wider until Qingshui ripped it off with one hand.
The Kryptonite dagger on his right arm popped out, and the radiation it emitted actually improved Nam's condition somewhat. He extended a hand to block Qingshui's downward thrust.
Troublesome!
Worried about an unexpected turn, Qingshui no longer held back. He opened the small missile launchers on his shoulder pads and fired one directly at Nam's face.
The dense Kryptonite dust significantly weakened Nam, and his expression momentarily blurred.
However, it was in that instant that the Kryptonite dagger sliced through his throat.
Worried that he wasn't completely dead, Qingshui stabbed into the center of his forehead again.
The blood-stained Kryptonite dagger was pulled out. Nam, with a large hole in his head, lay quietly on the ground, his eyes devoid of color.
"Hmph..."
Qingshui stood up from the ground, carrying Nam's body in his left hand. He reactivated White Knight's Speed Force and took him to a desolate mountain in the outskirts of Metropolis.
"Boss."
At the top of the mountain, Aman and several subordinates equipped with secondary Titan reinforcement agents quietly stood guard outside a room.
"Watch this alien's body and his exoskeleton armor."
"Yes!"
Qingshui placed Nam's body into a coffin, closed the lid, and then casually applied a layer of seal over it.
Current Speed Force remaining: forty-three percent.
Qingshui checked the remaining Speed Force, then opened his helmet and took out a high-sugar energy bar he'd bought from Caitlin, swallowing it down.
His Chakra consumption was also a bit high, but fortunately, the energy provided by Caitlin's high-sugar energy bar surpassed even the special Military Ration Pills from the Sand Village.
"Watt, where are you?"
Batman's voice came through the radio.
"What's up?"
"Return to the battlefield as soon as possible. The next phase of the operation requires your Speed Force to provide cover for The Flash, just like in the other world."
"I'll be right there."
With a flash of electricity, the White Knight soared into the sky once more.
…
Meanwhile, in Metropolis.
"Superman."
Batman, cloaked, stood before Superman.
By this point, Superman had already severely wounded Faora and destroyed her battlesuit.
However, she was rescued at the critical moment by two Kryptonian soldiers and sent back to the main ship via an escape pod.
"You are…"
"An ally. I was called here to help by Wa… by the Warrior."
When Batman was about to say Qingshui's name, he changed it halfway through, using the White Knight's suffix to refer to Qingshui.
However, the first part of Watt's name sounded very much like the word "war," causing Superman to misunderstand.
"War Warrior? Is that the name of your friend in the white metal battlesuit? What do you need me to do?"
Superman asked Batman.
"He and The Flash… another ally, will use special means to destroy this World Engine above Metropolis. The one above the Indian Ocean is up to you to handle, because only you have both the necessary speed and destructive power."
