I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Chapter 379 Gu Yi

Panting heavily, everyone watched as the portal completely vanished, and the anxiety that had been gripping them finally subsided.

The nerves of many superheroes, which had been on edge, were finally able to relax a little.

However, while everyone was celebrating their narrow escape, Depp's expression was quite the opposite.

Surviving the ordeal brought no comfort to this young man who had traveled fifteen years to come. On the contrary, the horrified expression on his face seemed to tell everyone that he had just witnessed something extremely terrifying and incomprehensible.

Sweat dripped from Depp's temples. He swallowed hard, then took off the glasses, wiped them carefully with a cloth for a while, and put them back on.

Depp turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.

Clark Kent - Superman

Main abilities: super strength, super speed, super endurance, bio-field, heat rays, flight, etc.

Affection level: Best friend.

Bruce Wayne, Batman

Main abilities: Top-level fighting skills, physical and mental limits of human potential, money.

Affection level: Best friend.

Selena Kyle, Catwoman...

Mera Zebel, Queen of the Sea...

Upon seeing these unmistakable names, Depp's spirits sank once again.

This proves that the Mirror of Introduction has no problems and the system has no bugs.

Therefore, the information about the fake Depp that I just saw in the Mirror of Profiles could not possibly be wrong.

Thinking of this, Depp closed his eyes and recalled the information he had seen about the fake Depp.

Leonardo Depp: The Reborn

Main abilities: super strength, super speed, super endurance, heat ray, lightning power, speed boost, and intangibility.

Favorability rating: Strangers.

Yes, this fake Depp is not only actually named Leonardo Depp, but he's also a reincarnated person.

Depp looked down at himself; no information appeared in the Mirror of Profile.

The Mirror of Profiles has never been able to display any information about Depp himself, which may be a way for the system to protect him.

"Could it be... that guy really be me?"

Depp was filled with doubt, and at the same time, an indescribable sense of terror quickly spread through his mind.

If that guy really is himself, then Depp has to consider what exactly made him become that way over the past fifteen years.

Is it possible for me to avoid my "darkening" behavior now?

Do not!

It's not a matter of whether it's possible, but rather that we must avoid turning to the dark side!

After all, Depp didn't want to lay a hand on Selena and Mera, or on his comrades who had fought alongside him through thick and thin.

Moreover, judging from the battlefield just now, it seems that I, fifteen years later, have already killed Martian Hunter.

The green head in that box is proof.

However... the other party doesn't seem to have items like the Mirror of Introduction and the Ring of Suspension, which is somewhat illogical.

After all, if he really was himself from fifteen years ago, he couldn't possibly not have these things!

"But... if that really is me, what should I do?" Depp was extremely anxious at this moment, but then a sharp pain struck, and countless data and energy entered Depp's mind.

At the same time, system voices also sounded one after another.

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Peter Parker's advanced spider-sense ability!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Bruce Banner's Physics PhD knowledge!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Loki's Deception spell!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the thunderous power of Thor!"

"Congratulations, host, you have gained Wolverine's healing factor!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Cyclops's extradimensional ray ability!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Hawkeye's archery skills!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Bullseye's dart throwing skills!"

"Wolverine, Superman, Hulk, and Solomon Grandi's healing abilities are merging."

"Clark Kent's thermal ray ability, Homelander's thermal ray ability, and Laser Eye's extradimensional ray ability are merging."

"Hawkeye's archery skills, Bullseye's dart throwing skills, and Death Shooter's shooting skills are merging."

"Congratulations, host! Skill fusion successful! You have gained an immortal self-healing ability!"

"Congratulations, host! Skill fusion successful, you have gained the Extinction Ray ability!"

"Congratulations, host! Skill fusion successful, you have gained the ability to hit the bullseye every time!"

Countless messages about the fusion of abilities flooded Depp's ears, and countless powers granted by the system also rushed into his mind.

This made Depp both excited and pained; sometimes giving too much at once doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Moreover, this is the second time Depp has experienced this kind of pain today.

The moment Depp burst out of the wormhole and entered the DC universe fifteen years later, his mind was already filled with all sorts of abilities he had acquired from the DC universe.

This explains why Depp looked pained and was covered in sweat as soon as he emerged from the wormhole.

The other heroes present, seeing Depp rolling around on the ground, all wanted to rush over to help.

But the next second, Depp's already overwhelmed brain exploded!

With a bang, red, white, and yellow fragments exploded all over the ground.

"No! Depp!!!"

No! My dear!!!

Just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, countless muscle fibers and nerves rapidly grew on Depp's broken neck, and in less than a second, Depp had a new head.

Upon seeing this, everyone stood frozen in place.

This is absolutely amazing!

Whether it's Clark, Bruce, or any other superhero, they've never seen anyone survive without a head.

And, in a mere second, it grew a new head!

This is simply not scientific!

No, this is simply a myth!

Depp, whose head had just grown a new one, stood up unsteadily, shook his somewhat scraggly head, and raised it.

"Damn it, my head still feels so throbbing." Depp rubbed his hair haphazardly and said, "How about we try blowing my head out again? Maybe that will make me feel better."

Everyone: ? ? ? ? ?

Are you polite?

No, are you safe?

Just as Depp was about to smash his head like a watermelon, an old man in a yellow robe slowly descended from the sky.

Ancient One!

Everyone looked up and their expressions turned wary.

After all, they had just escaped with their lives and had to be wary of everything around them.

But soon, Clark remembered who the person in front of him was.

He had seen this old man before. This old man had helped Depp and Bruce fight against the Homelander clones during the Battle of Gotham City, and his strength was quite terrifying.

"You are... Master Gu Yi?"

Clark asked tentatively.

“You have a very good memory, Mr. Clark Kent.”

The Ancient One's voice is gentle and refined, yet incredibly magnetic, instantly evoking a sense of warmth and familiarity.

Her yellow robes fluttered in the wind as the Ancient One landed slowly. She looked at Depp in front of her, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

“Depp, you haven’t been here in a long time,” the Ancient One said.

Depp looked up and saw that the Ancient One was almost exactly the same as she was fifteen years ago; age seemed to have no meaning for her anymore.

“Although I don’t know why that guy hasn’t been here for over a decade, but…” Depp said somewhat helplessly, “Actually, I just visited you a few months ago and received your guidance.”

"Ok?"

The Ancient One raised a questioning voice, then asked, "You come from the past? Let me think. You must be from fifteen years ago, when I had just finished half of your specialized training. After that, you never came to this world again."

“Yes, teacher,” Depp said. “I think I’m in a lot of trouble right now, a lot of trouble, and it seems like I have no clue where to start.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi smiled, then turned around and said, "You can go to the temple with your friends to rest for a while. After today's training is over, I'll have a proper talk with you."

"Okay, teacher."

In the mage sanctuary of Kamar-Taj, dozens of apprentices are diligently learning various basic spellcasting techniques in front of a beautiful female mage.

Depp walked past her, and the female sorceress in front of him tried to pounce on him, but was immediately frozen in place by a glance from the Ancient One in front of him.

The shrine in Kamar-Taj is quite simple, but it brought back many memories for Bruce.

For example, the days when I was infiltrating the Shadow Dancers Alliance, or rather, the Assassins Alliance.

However, even so, Bruce did not let his guard down like others did, simply because the Ancient One was Depp's teacher and had helped Gotham.

For Batman today, caution and vigilance, and never being careless, have become an instinct.

This is an awareness that can only be gained after suffering many losses.
