I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

He quickly located Depp's position.

In the plaza, the guardians of Gotham gathered together.

Compared to before, there are many more people here, some whom Depp has met before, and some he hasn't, but he's not very familiar with.

For example, Zatanna, wearing a tall top hat, a magician's tuxedo, sexy fishnet stockings and boots on her long, slender legs, and holding a magic wand.

This future chief wizard of DC is still quite green at this moment.

They were not even aware of the powerful magical abilities they possessed.

Right now, she simply considers herself a magician with considerable achievements.

But she remained steadfast in her position to defend Gotham, even though half of her thoughts were still on her childhood sweetheart and first love, Bruce Wayne.

And then there's the Black Canary, with her beautiful long blonde hair, wearing a black bodysuit and fishnet stockings like Zatanna's... Dina Laurel Lance.

These two native Gotham heroes will be entangled with Green Arrow in Star City for more than a decade to come.

But now, she still has the memory of her passionate encounter with Bruce last Sunday night in her mind.

Depp, wearing a monocle, watched with considerable interest the two women who had close ties to Bruce.

Zatanna Zatara, Gotham City's number one magician

Main abilities: various magic performances, hidden magical power.

Favorability rating: Quite favorable.

[Dinah Laurel Lance] Black Canary

Main ability: Canary's Song.

Favorability rating: Quite favorable.

It must be said that, judging from the current skills, Diana's abilities are more useful.

After all, Zatanna has not yet awakened her magical abilities.

However, Depp believes that once this battle begins, Zatanna's abilities are likely to awaken immediately under the pressure of the crisis.

After awakening, Zatanna is definitely a very powerful combat force!

Depp looked at the countdown displayed in the system space, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

There are only thirty seconds left on the countdown.

Depp turned to the crowd and said, "In twenty-nine seconds, the shield will disappear, and the final battle will begin. We must protect our home. Gotham... will never give in!"

"Gotham will never yield!"

"Gotham will never yield!"

"Gotham will never yield!"

Depp's words were met with everyone's approval.

Gotham is their home, and they will fight anyone who tries to destroy it!

Then Depp waved his hand, and the guards who were wearing the flying machines issued by Bruce immediately took to the sky.

As for Bruce, he used the grappling hook to climb onto his new version of the Bat Armor and then soared into the sky.

Depp glanced at Zatanna and Black Canary again out of the corner of his eye.

Zatanna Zatara, Gotham City's number one magician

Main abilities: various magic performances, hidden magical power.

Favorability rating: Trust.

[Dinah Laurel Lance] Black Canary

Main ability: Canary's Song.

Favorability rating: Trust.

Goodness, this favorability rating is rising a bit too fast!

Suddenly, Depp felt a sharp pain in his lower back, as if someone had pinched him hard.

Then, Depp turned his head and saw Selena's anger, which was almost bursting out of her eyes.

Are they good-looking?

Selena asked quietly.

Depp quickly explained, "No, they're not even half as beautiful as you. I'm just a little curious about their relationship with Bruce."

This combination of flattery and shifting blame to Bruce worked immediately.

The anger in Selena's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a gossipy expression.

"Both of them...have something going on with Bruce?"

Depp immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"That's right, Bruce really does have a way with women."

Upon hearing this, Selena clicked her tongue and said, "You're not allowed to imitate him!"

"Don't worry, baby, I'm being good!"

The countdown ended, and the protective shield began to dissipate from the city's perimeter.

Upon seeing this, the Homelander clones immediately roared with excitement.

They then immediately swooped down.

With a clear objective, Number 7788 led hundreds of Homelander clones straight to Depp.

"Prepare to die, you brat!"

Depp dodged their attacks and said, "With your ass that's been poked for over ten hours?"

Depp then slapped the Homelander clone that was approaching him away, followed by a heat beam that melted the clone's head.

On the ground, Depp is much faster than these guys, making him almost invincible.

Seeing this, Number 7788 immediately revealed a cruel smile and said, "I admit you are strong, but you can't protect this city. Everyone else is too weak... and too few."

He had barely finished speaking when he was struck in the face with tremendous force.

Clone number 7788 was slammed into the ground by this punch, creating a crater tens of meters in diameter.

After landing, Clark twisted his wrist.

This was the first time he had used his power so recklessly.

Number 7788 struggled to pull himself out of the pit, but before he could utter any more threats, he was hit by two beams of light shooting from the sky.

One of the yellow beams is a pulse beam released by Tony's armor, while the other beam, radiating a seven-colored light, is the arcane magic used by the Ancient One.

Under the combined attack of the two, clone number 7788 was quickly dissolved, losing most of its body.

"Clark, Tony, the Ancient One!" Depp exclaimed with delight, "You've finally arrived!"

"Brother Depp, I'm the one who brought Tony and the Ancient One here!" Clark said, as if taking credit.

Depp affectionately patted Clark's head and said, "I knew you were faster than them."

Tony said, "You bastard, I knew I shouldn't have come to help you!"

Depp looked at his close friend and smiled without saying a word.

The Ancient One put on the sling rings on both hands and suddenly waved them forward, and ten portals immediately appeared behind her.

Spider-Man Peter Parker, Captain America Steve Rogers, Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye Barton, and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents emerged from the crowd.

Soon, one portal after another appeared behind the Ancient One.

These portals vary in size, with the smallest being only half a person's height and the largest being several stories high.

As Depp looked at these portals, he suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.

Chapter 227 Your friend is awesome!

The countless portals in the plaza and the Kamar-Taj sorcerers emerging from them not only surprised the Homelander clones who were preparing to attack, but also brought immense joy to the Gotham heroes who were preparing for a desperate battle.

Because they could all tell that these guys were Depp's friends.

On the ground, T'Challa, the Black Panther who has not yet inherited the throne of Wakanda, slowly walked out of the portal wearing nanotech armor.

Behind him, thousands of warriors equipped with Wakanda's most advanced technology stepped out of the portal in perfect unison.

“Hey Depp, I think I’m not late.”

Upon hearing this, Depp smiled and said, "My brother T'Challa, you and your beautiful people have come at just the right time. To be honest, I don't know how to repay you."

"Hahahaha," T'Challa laughed heartily, "Just remember to attend the day I inherit the throne of Wakanda."

Tony flew up from behind and said, "Depp, I specifically called T'Challa here!"

In mid-air, Thor, holding Mjolnir, leaped out of the portal, smashing three or four Homelander clones before even landing.

As Thor landed, hundreds of portals appeared behind him.

The Asgardian warriors, led by Queen Sif, also arrived in Gotham.

Thor stood up and looked around at the unfamiliar city.

"Is this Gotham City? It looks pretty much like Earth."

Following closely behind was Loki, who emerged from the cold wind.

Loki, the Frost Giant King of Jotunheim, was building his own Frost Kingdom.

Even so, he still brought his Frost Giants to Gotham to help Depp through his difficulties.

"Although I usually scoff at what my brother says, I think he's right this time. This place does feel more like a human dwelling than the divine realm of the gods."

"Loki, you disrespectful bastard!"

"Shut up, Thor! You big-chested, brainless muscleman, why haven't you inherited the throne of Asgard yet? Is your father increasingly disappointed in your abilities and intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, Depp helplessly pointed to the Homelander clones in the sky and said, "You two, stop arguing. I think once you've witnessed the power of those guys, you'll know that the people here might be even more powerful than those in Asgard."
