Start in Terra, immortal

On the sparsely populated street, a vortex suddenly appeared, spewing out two figures, a man and a woman, Rosso and America.

As soon as he landed, Rosso discovered familiar traces in time and space.

"They look very similar..."

Upon hearing Rosso's assessment, America nodded emphatically: "It really does look like it! It looks just like Earth from Marvel."

"That's not all. What I mean is, the spacetime structure here is very similar to what we know as Arad; it's a branched-out structure."

By extending his perception globally, Rosso sifted through a vast amount of information to identify the key to determining which universe this place belonged to.

Gotham, the retired vigilante—Bruce Wayne.

In the polar regions, an alien trapped in a laboratory—Kara Zoeel.

And, sitting at home, with his parents still alive—Barry Allen, the creator of the Speed ​​Force.

After confirming where they had arrived, Rosso's face was beaming with smiles.

"Xiao Mei, there are some fun things in this universe, would you like to go check them out?"

Upon hearing that something fun was going to happen, and after repeatedly confirming that Rosso wasn't joking with her, America nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Just then, as if hijacked, a human-shaped shadow appeared on the static screen of the television set in the street shop.

"You may call me General Zod. I come from Krypton, a planet far from Earth. Your planet has long sheltered one of our citizens. I demand that you hand her over immediately..."

"Uh—are they looking for someone? Are you sure they're not here to invade?" America had been wandering between different universes since she was a child, and she believed she had seen her fair share of cosmic wonders. Such direct notifications to a planet were usually part of the surrender phase before a war began.

Rosso ignored the content on the television and instead looked with interest at the distant sky: "Finding people and invading are not contradictory. Especially for the Kryptonians, Earth basically has no power that can threaten them."

"Let's go find the cause of the branching." Rosso snapped his fingers.

Ripples spread through the space around them, and the scenery instantly changed. They appeared directly in a cave from the street.

Inside the cave, various items from the previous era were displayed—from electronic devices to armored vehicles, all covered in a thick layer of dust, clearly indicating that they had not been used for a long time.

"Although this place looks orderly," America ran her finger lightly across the dust on the table, "it seems to have been abandoned..."

Rosso waved his right hand, releasing a burst of energy that spun rapidly in the air, gradually forming a tornado that swept up all the thick dust in the cave and hurled it out of the cave.

"How convenient!" America exclaimed enviously, her eyes sparkling. "No need to bother cleaning? That's wonderful! Can I learn how?"

Rosso found a relatively comfortable seat and sat down, chuckling, "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"

He stretched out his hand again: "First, put the energy... like this... then like that... and finally like this, and that's it."

After the demonstration, Rosso looked at America, who was staring at him with a bewildered expression, and said, "How about that? It's simple, isn't it! Even the dumbest person can travel through the universe, so why can't they utilize the energy within their body?"

Her already unattractive face darkened further after hearing this. She pursed her lips, deciding to temporarily abandon learning this seemingly simple but actually extremely delicate skill requiring precise control over energy, and instead asked about the important matter at hand.

"Mr. Rosso, why did we come here? This cave... looks like an abandoned base." America looked around and found nothing special except for the cleaned-up old equipment.

"Waiting for someone." Rosso said succinctly, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to rest. "This is the Batcave. Or rather, it's one of the bases that Bruce Wayne of this world used as Batman's base. No matter where the Bat goes, he will eventually return here."

"Waiting for Batman?" America was even more puzzled. "You mean, Batman is related to this universe becoming a branch?"

"No, we're not waiting for Batman, we're waiting for the young man with him, the one named Barry Allen. They're the key!"

America nodded as if she understood, and was about to explore the bat cave when Rosso's voice rang in her ears again.

"Use this time to hone your abilities and explore the world beyond this branch. Later, if we need to leave, you'll be the one to open the door!"

Upon hearing this, America panicked instantly: "Huh? Me? Okay, I'll try my best..."

From her answer alone, Rosso could sense her lack of confidence and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

America was ultimately too young. Her life of exile in space since childhood had instilled in her a cautious and timid nature that was deeply ingrained in her.

Even after gaining power far beyond her imagination, she couldn't boost her confidence in a short period of time.

The reason for bringing her along this time, besides taking advantage of her ability to safely travel through the universe, was also partly to "nurture" her.

Sensing that America had begun to mobilize her mental energy and search for the locations of other universes, Rosso nodded to himself: "She's a promising student!"

Putting her matter aside, Rosso reconsidered his own plans.

Now that he knew this world was forcibly created by the Speed ​​Force and would eventually be corrected by it, Rosso began to have wicked ideas.

Of course, Rosso would never offend the forest ranger just to cut down a tree.

What he was thinking about was: how could he acquire more resources from this universe without offending the Speed ​​Force?

Ultimately, Rosso discovered that only Kara, Zod, Batman, and The Flash possessed a significant portion of the world's origin.

Of these, Barry Allen, the Flash and creator of the Speed ​​Force, accounts for 90%, and he is definitely unable to move.

Of the remaining ten percent, the other three each have three percent.

There appear to be three, but in reality there are only two—Zod and Kara are mortal enemies, and only one of them can survive.

In other words, only two people in this universe can be absorbed into the Spirit Realm? Rosso sighed slightly. Oh well, he'd just consider it goodwill towards the Speed ​​Force...

Just as Rosso was pondering this, Batman and his crew, who had already rescued people in the polar regions, were returning triumphantly in the Batplane.

On the fighter jet, beneath the mask, Batman's face was ashen.

Once the Dark Knight, he is now the "King of Gotham." There is virtually no place in the city he cannot detect, including his Batcave.

He had already received an alert about uninvited guests when he infiltrated the rescue operation. However, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, assuming it was someone like Barry Allen before.

The more he listened, the more alarmed he became. The conversation coming through the listening device was beyond his comprehension.

Those two uninvited guests might be even more troublesome than aliens!
