I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Suddenly, several newspapers flew past his eyes and were instantly burned to ashes by the heat rays.

Behind the newspaper, three men carrying their own shotguns, wearing work clothes, hard hats, and towels around their necks, suddenly rushed out.

They pointed their guns at the Homelander clone and fired wildly.

He also shouted, "You son of a bitch, your worker grandpa is here!"

After three loud bangs, the Homelander clone was unharmed and instead grinned maliciously at the few who dared to defy him.

To be honest, he had encountered quite a few pitiful people who dared to rebel against him.

But those guys only had the courage to rebel before they witnessed their own power.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone who dared to raise a gun and resist after witnessing his own power.

To be honest, this made him very unhappy.

Being resisted by ordinary humans is like being provoked by an ant.

The result was that he crushed the ants with just one finger!

The heat rays in Homelander's clone's eyes focused again, this time aiming at the person in the middle who was holding a gun and pointing it at him.

Just as the Homelander clone was about to use its heat rays to incinerate the guy who dared to defy it, a pale blue halo swept in from afar, lifting the furious Homelander clone directly into the sky.

The heat rays in his eyes also veered off course, passing over the man with the gun and heading towards Wayne Tower not far away.

Furthermore, as the power of Gotham Hearts lifted the Homelander clone into the air, heat rays surged upwards from the thirteenth floor of Wayne Tower.

Poor Wayne Tower, starting from the thirteenth floor, was directly pierced by the heat rays, which stretched the gap all the way to the top floor, until the Homelander clone was completely pushed out of the outermost layer of Gotham Heart's protective shield.

The moment the shield rose, Depp began hunting down the Homelander clones who were unsteady due to the shield's thrust.

The Homelander clones, suddenly lifted up by the protective shield, lost their advantage of flight speed at that moment.

Depp moved swiftly among the Homelander clones, white heat rays from his eyes piercing through their hearts and heads one after another.

One by one, Homelander clones, completely devoid of vital signs, fell through the protective shield like raindrops into the streets and alleys of Gotham City.

Since these Homelander clones had completely lost their lives, the Gotham Heart shield did not consider them to pose any further threat to Gotham, and therefore naturally ceased resisting their fall.

During the brief moment the shield was raised, Depp killed at least two hundred Homelanders who were off-balance and clinging to the shield.

This scene left everyone on the ground completely dumbfounded.

If we're talking about Homelander clones that have just invaded the city, then we're talking about demons emerging from hell.

The pale blue protective shield that kept them out of Gotham felt like a divine blessing, bringing them a sense of security.

Furthermore, the people are grateful for the figures fighting to defend Gotham City in the sky and on the ground.

Especially the figure that kept flying in the air and constantly releasing white heat rays, was like a god descending from heaven, reaping the lives of those "demons".

Besides the civilians, after the initial battle, whether it was Bruce, the Joker, or Wayne and Ivy, etc.

They all came to a deep understanding of just how powerful and terrifying these outsiders were.

Among them, the Joker's record is outstanding, but he only killed six or seven Homelander clones.

Even Bruce, after using the Bat-Type mech that Lucius called the "ultimate weapon," only managed to kill a dozen or so Homelander clones.

Furthermore, they paid the price of almost completely destroying their mechs.

After all, these guys' defenses are indeed incredibly strong.

While they might not be able to withstand a nuclear attack, other types of firearms would be virtually incapable of causing them any harm.

If it weren't for the Joker's unpredictable and elusive attack methods, or Bruce's Bat-series equipment that surpasses official technology, almost no one else would be able to kill even a Homelander clone.

Even with the Gotham Heart shield's assistance, Depp's feat of eliminating hundreds of Homelander clones in such a short time still sent chills down everyone's spine.

Bruce stepped out of the damaged mech, brushed aside the broken, flaming cables in front of him, and looked up at the sky, muttering, "Just how strong is Depp? Why do I always feel that the more I try to surpass... no, follow in his footsteps, the more unattainable it becomes?"

As he spoke, Bruce clenched his fists, his eyes filled with disappointment.

On the other side, the clown, covered in blood, had one arm hanging limply, clearly suffering a serious injury.

He kicked the bat-shaped mech a few times, then grinned and shouted, "Your piece of junk seems to be all show and no substance! You struggled to kill more than a dozen of those monsters, but my Mr. Depp just took down hundreds in one go!"

Upon hearing this, Bruce stomped his feet in anger and yelled at the Joker, "Shut up, you madman! Your record isn't even as good as mine!"

"Tch! Don't you even know how much less financially capable we are?" The Joker leaned his still-healthy right arm against the bat mech's leg and said disdainfully, "It's just that someone was born into a good family; we can't compare!"

The Joker's words pierced Bruce's heart.

The bat-like mech suddenly raised its foot and slowly stepped towards the clown.

Upon seeing this, the Joker immediately jumped aside, where Harley Quinn and Jenny were waiting for him.

The two women immediately helped the clown up and turned back to make faces at Bruce.

The clown said, "Girls, stop provoking him. That guy... is just a pathetic wretch who hasn't gotten over his childhood trauma."

Soon, Wayne and Ivy, Oswald and Victor, along with the remaining Arkham Asylum Minutemen, all spontaneously gathered around Bruce and the Joker.

They all looked up at the sky, watching those seemingly invincible demons being killed one by one by Depp and falling to the ground.

They showed various expressions, including envy, jealousy, and admiration.

And Depp, after clearing away the stunned Homelander clones, flew over from the sky.

He slowly descended in front of Bruce, like a god of war.

Depp looked at Bruce, who was slumped in the cockpit of the mech, and reached out his hand to the guy who was questioning his existence.

"Hey Bruce, why are you acting a bit...dazed?"

Upon hearing this, Bruce looked up as if waking from a dream.

When he saw Depp floating in the air, backlit.

Bruce suddenly felt that the man in front of him seemed to be radiating some kind of indescribable light.

Oh shit!

It's so bright!

So annoying!

“You’re the one who’s being silly. I’m just thinking about how to deal with this bunch of weirdos who came out of nowhere!” Bruce said. “I guess your shield won’t last long, will it?”

Bruce looked at the Homelander clones high in the sky, who had recovered and were relentlessly attacking the pale blue protective shield, and a dark cloud inevitably settled over his heart.

These guys are far too powerful, far beyond Bruce's imagination.

In addition, the sheer number of tens of thousands of them inevitably evokes a sense of despair.

Depp once again admired Bruce's intelligence in his heart, then nodded and said, "You're right, this shield can only last for a maximum of twenty-four hours."

"Twenty-four hours... It seems we don't have much time left."

Bruce knew he had to find a way to break the deadlock within 24 hours.

Otherwise, when the protective shield disappears, Gotham will inevitably fall again.

And those vicious creatures in the sky will wipe Gotham City off the face of the earth within twenty minutes.

Thinking of this, beads of sweat trickled down Bruce's face. He stood up and asked Depp, "You anticipated these guys' invasion, so I'm sure you know where they came from."

A cold wind, carrying the smell of gunpowder, blew by, leaving a thin layer of black soot on Bruce's sweat-covered face, but it couldn't obscure the gleam in his eyes, which were searching for the truth.

Depp looked into Bruce's eyes and decided to stop hiding it.

After all, this damn system has already allowed the guys from the Boys world to invade Gotham, so I'm not afraid to reveal the origin of these Homelander clones.

Depp said, "These guys come from a parallel universe called The Boys. They are clones of a superhuman named Homelander, but I don't know how they were created."

Bruce stared into Depp's eyes to make sure the guy with the monocle wasn't lying.

"The Boys? What's that..." Bruce asked.

Depp thought for a moment and said, "All I can say is that it's a world completely different from ours. It's like... the Iron Man and Batman series in Depp's comics, which are in completely different universes."

Depp's simple and easy-to-understand explanation immediately made Bruce realize that these guys came from another universe, or even another multiverse.

Bruce still had his own questions. He asked, "Since they are from completely different dimensions with no interaction, how did these guys cross dimensions and get to Gotham?"

Depp pointed to the sky and said, "Although I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons and principles, there's no doubt that the arrival of these guys is related to that black mist."

Black mist...

Bruce looked up at the Homelander clones in the sky and the black mist behind them, and said, "It seems we won't be able to get any more information for the time being, unless... we capture one and interrogate it."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately said, "That's a good idea! But there are just too many of them. Even I can't grab any of Homelander for interrogation after leaving the protective shield."

"Why is that?" Bruce asked.

“Bruce, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?” Depp explained again, “Because this shield isolates all attacks and things that threaten Gotham. I can’t pull a Homelander clone that isn’t quite dead into the shield, and even attacks from inside Gotham can’t get out of the shield.”

As he spoke, Depp pointed to a spot in the sky.

Dozens of missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, shot straight into the sky, their target the Homelander clones outside the protective shield.

However, the moment the missile made close contact with the protective shield, it was as if it had hit a wall, and it exploded instantly, unable to launch at all.

Depp shrugged helplessly and said, "See? I told you any threatening attack couldn't penetrate the shield. And right now, I can't interrogate those guys outside the shield either, since they fly much faster than me."

"Isn't there any other way?" Bruce said helplessly.

Depp thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps... if their numbers are reduced to half of what they are now, I can pull one of them to the ground. You know, on the ground, I'm fast enough to beat anyone."

"Kill half?" Bruce was so angry at Depp that he almost laughed. He said, "Even when you were incredibly brave just now, you only killed two or three hundred of those monsters. If you were to kill half... you would have to take down at least four or five thousand. How is that possible?"

Depp pouted and said helplessly, "Yeah, how could that be?"

Just then, a mysterious and sexy figure nimbly climbed onto the bat mech.

The moment she climbed onto the mech, her incomparably shapely buttocks still jiggled three or four times, even under the tight-fitting combat suit.

Upon seeing Selena, Depp immediately went over and hugged her tightly.

Bruce watched this scene with a look of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Selena reached into the gap between her breasts and took out a box about three centimeters square.

She handed the box to Depp and said, "This is a gift Ivy asked me to give you. She said this might come in handy."
