234. The Disappearance of the Justice League.
"What did you say!? My cousin is dead?"
Kara's rosy lips trembled slightly, and she even prayed that she had misheard.
Black Canary's face was sorrowful, and she fell into silence. To be honest, even she had a hard ti accepting this. She couldn't imagine how desperate Kara must feel upon hearing such news, as Clark was her cousin.
"Is there so mistake? I may not know much about the Superman from your world, but as a Kryptonian, he should be invincible, right? Are you sure you saw him die?" Pietro thought for a mont, uncertain, and asked.
Perhaps Barton and the others didn't know how powerful Kara was, but after experiencing two different universes, Pietro was well aware of the strength of this Kryptonian. As long as she absorbed enough stellar power, Kryptonians were practically invincible gods.
Given such a vast difference that normal people could hardly comprehend, as a mber of Krypton, Kara's cousin—known as Superman—surely couldn't have been soone easily defeated. It was hard to believe such a terrifying existence would perish.
Black Canary glanced at Pietro, then lowered her eyes again. "I didn't actually see him die, but what I do know is that the mbers of the Justice League never ca back…"
At this point, Black Canary closed her eyes deeply.
"…And then the Earth fell. My Earth."
Barton, lissa, and the others had no idea what Black Canary and Kara were discussing, but now they realized that Black Canary was talking about the downfall of the superheroes in her world.
"Alex was right. These two universes are closely connected. Since all the superheroes in this universe have perished, it ans that the sa thing likely happened in Dinah's world as well."
Pietro stared at Dinah's pretty face for a mont and then sighed softly. "Alex had been curious about what caused the phenonon of different universes crossing over. Now it seems the only explanation is that both universes are on the verge of destruction, with even the risk of colliding."
"Universes colliding… Wait, who exactly are you?" Black Canary was startled by Pietro's words. She realized she was understanding less and less about these two young people.
"We're like you, not from this universe. Kara and I each co from a universe on the brink of destruction. However, with Alex's help, our universe has stabilized, and now… we're wandering through different universes with Alex."
Black Canary's expression was full of surprise as she slowly processed this mind-blowing revelation.
Although she had been through many big events and had even helped save the Earth a few tis with the Justice League, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards Pietro and Kara.
The older Barton felt the sa. While he knew Alex and his team had a big background, he had never expected these seemingly young kids to have such a storied history of incredible feats.
Pietro talked as if it were nothing, summarizing their experience in a few sentences. But everyone here, living in a world teetering on the edge of destruction, understood just how despairing it was to survive in a collapsing universe.
So, when Pietro casually ntioned that he and Alex had cald the disaster and stabilized their universe, both Barton and Black Canary couldn't help but look at Pietro and Kara with newfound respect.
"How many universes have you experienced?" Barton couldn't help but ask.
"I've been to four; Kara's been to three? One of the universes was actually created by the Flash, Barry Allen, himself. Trust , it wasn't a pleasant experience. By the way, Dinah, do you know the Flash?"
"Yes, my husband had a good relationship with him and Green Lantern, Hal." Dinah replied absentmindedly, and then continued asking, "Who exactly is Alex? Is he a hero too?"
"Alex…" Pietro scratched his head, unsure of how to introduce him.
Suddenly, all eyes were on Pietro, including Ashley's. Everyone wanted to know Alex's true identity, as well as who this omniscient and mysterious figure truly was.
Sensing the focus on him, Pietro smiled awkwardly and waved his hand slightly. "Alex, an easterner, codena Raven. This codena was actually given to him by Batman in the last universe we visited. As for other details… you'll understand when you et him."
Seeing that Pietro wasn't willing to say more, Black Canary didn't press further. After all, they had just t, and it wouldn't be appropriate to ask too many questions, especially when Alex wasn't present. However, the ntion of Alex's codena caught Black Canary's attention. "Raven, is he a sorcerer?"
"Yes, Alex's sorcery is incredibly powerful. Many of the spells he uses are ones he created himself," Pietro answered. On the other side, Ashley, who had been silent, added, "He's definitely strong."
"I have a friend nad Zatanna, who's also well-versed in magic. With her mastery over magical channels, it's possible to simulate images of the Justice League. But to fool so many people… it seems Alex's magical expertise must be remarkable."
Black Canary spoke sincerely. "If that's the case, our chances of rescuing Red Hood just got a lot higher. Maybe, by then, I'll find a way to return ho."
At this, Black Canary couldn't help but glance around and curiously asked, "Where is he now? Wasn't he supposed to et us here so we could act together? Or does he have another plan?"
"Him?" Pietro raised an eyebrow.
"Alex arranged for us to et at the execution site where Red Skull is set to execute Red Hood—in New Babylon. As for where he is right now…"
----------------------
Outside New Babylon, in a rundown roadside tavern and inn.
Alex was flipping through the Darkhold with a perplexed look on his face.
He had acquired the book two days ago and had spent a long ti studying it, but he still couldn't fathom why the book, which was supposed to herald ultimate darkness, would be in such a state in his hands.
Closing the Darkhold once again, Alex turned his head and looked at Miss Minutes, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs. He asked, "Are you sure we got the real thing? Why are there no words on it?"
