Not only that, Dane suspected that Darkseid also used the anti-life equation to modify Superman's aggressiveness.
Because under normal circumstances, Clark would not use heat vision that could burn enemies to death, let alone directly incinerate people into ashes.
Even if he mistook Lois for some villain, with Clark's personality, he would try his best to spare that person's life; why would he directly kill him, leaving only a pile of ashes?
Flash's subsequent words confirmed Dane's conjecture.
"According to our later investigation, we found that Clark was very likely controlled by Darkseid, and now he has become a part of Apokolips's control over us."
"Do you think he can still be saved?" Dane suddenly asked.
"I don't know…" Flash hesitated, "Batman thinks he still has a chance to be redeemed."
The Magic Box in Dane's hand was getting hot, almost smoking, indicating it was reaching its limit.
Dane asked one last question: "How is Shazam on your side?"
Flash looked pained: "He's dead, he was killed by Superman! He was just a child…"
It seems that Shazam there is still Billy Batson; so, does this mean that the Shazam Power there is now without an owner?
Flash's limbs began to twist again, the same spacetime distortion he had encountered before.
"Is this normal?" Flash was a bit panicked.
"Perhaps." Dane said indifferently.
"Wait, what do you mean perhaps…" Before he could finish speaking, the distorted spacetime directly swallowed Flash, taking him to an unknown place.
All the light in the Magic Box in Dane's hand suddenly extinguished, and a burst of heat erupted from it, like a machine crashing, but he showed no surprise.
While talking to the other party, he had already recorded the other party's soul, and quietly used the Life Equation to turn his soul into a beacon; if needed, he could use some special means to travel to their World.
As for what means, Dane already had a clue: Barry Allen was the answer.
Since the other party could come here through the Speed Force, theoretically Barry should also be able to use the Speed Force to reach the other party's World.
Dane was contemplating whether he should get involved in this matter.
…On the other side, Flash was enveloped by spacetime, drawn into a Land of Nihility that looked like mist.
He stomped his feet and found that he seemed to be able to step on solid ground, so he quickly started running, countless electric arcs generated from the void, and the Speed Force activated.
The surrounding scenery instantly stretched and changed, and before long, Flash felt himself breaking through the spacetime bubble, and the Speed Force brought him back to his World.
"Bruce?"
The man in front of him, wearing a trench coat and looking travel-worn, was none other than Batman Bruce Wayne.
"Did you find him?" Bruce asked impatiently.
"I found the time you gave me, the place you gave me, but… you weren't there, there was someone I didn't know."
"Who?" Bruce asked, frowning. Could it be Nightwing?
No, Nightwing should be in Blüdhaven at that time.
"It was Shazam."
Billy?
Bruce was momentarily dazed; he still remembered this little boy, a metahuman who originally had the potential to rival Superman.
But unfortunately, after Superman's defection, Billy had already been killed by Superman under some pretext.
It was at that time that they discovered Shazam's secret: he was just a child.
This incident filled Batman with deep guilt and regret.
He should not have involved Shazam in this matter.
But soon, Bruce felt something was not quite right; at the time Flash went, his relationship with Shazam shouldn't have been that good yet.
"What happened?"
Flash immediately told him everything, but the content greatly astonished Bruce.
However, he reacted quickly, immediately realizing that Flash might have gone to the wrong place; he had entered a parallel World.
This matter instantly became complicated.
According to Barry, that Shazam even had the ability to freeze spacetime.
Batman's associative ability was very strong; he almost immediately thought that the other party might use this ability to, in turn, enter their World.
This association made him somewhat reactively vigilant, but he immediately remembered that given the current state of their World, there was actually nothing to covet.
He tried to extract some useful information from those limited pieces of information, but unfortunately, since it was not seen with his own eyes, all the information Bruce had now was lost.
So in the end, not only did he fail to get clearer information, but he became even more worried because of his own associations.
But Flash brought him a new idea.
"You said, is there a possibility, of course I'm just saying it's a possibility, perhaps they… could help us a little bit~?"
"What are you referring to?" Bruce frowned.
Flash nervously rubbed his hands before continuing.
"I feel that although that Shazam is not the one I am familiar with, he should also be a good person, so… that Justice League might be able to help us, save our World, save… Clark…"
Bruce's expression was pensive; he was weighing the pros and cons, but no matter how much he thought about it, no matter how bad things got, it couldn't be worse than the current situation.
So he asked Flash: "How confident are you in your judgment?"
"To be honest, not at all." Flash shrugged, pretending to be relaxed: "But I saw him in your Batcave; he seemed very familiar with that place. Does this mean that in that World, you and he are very familiar, even familiar enough that you two can casually visit each other's homes?"
"It's also possible he's an illegal intruder." Bruce added expressionlessly.
But Flash clearly had a different opinion.
"I saw a cup of tea in his hand, in one of your very expensive cups. If he were an intruder, would he use your tea set so naturally in your home?"
That's not necessarily true.
Bruce thought, you would never expect the talents of Gotham City.
"This is a big gamble, my dear Little Bat."
Just as the two of them were still discussing, a voice unseasonably interrupted.
It was Joker's voice.
They turned to look, and Joker, with green hair and a pale face, was grinning and laughing wildly.
His hands were tightly cuffed, seemingly restricted in movement.
"You want to change all this through time travel? Have you watched too much Back to the Future, or has your brain finally broken? Hahahahahahaha!"
But Bruce ignored him; having worked with him for so long, he already knew what kind of madman he was.
"Speaking of which, where did Victor go?" Flash looked around but didn't see Cyborg's figure.
"We have a new member, Cyborg went to pick her up."
"Who is it?"
"An Atlantean, Mera."
