I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Soon, everyone was settled into guest rooms at Kamar-Taj.

After a short rest, Depp immediately set off for the rooftop where the Ancient One was.

The heavy snowflakes fell gently, like white leaves.

But none of the monks felt cold despite the wind and snow.

The constant flow of magic power and the warmth from the spells allowed them to remain calm even in this environment.

“You are confused,” the Ancient One said. “You have many questions and have found the answers, but you don’t seem willing to believe what you think.”

As Depp walked over, Gu Yi succinctly revealed Depp's innermost thoughts, to which the latter could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

Depp's expression was quite bitter as he said, "Yes, I already knew the answer on the way here."

"Why don't you tell me? Sometimes, even the answer isn't necessarily correct."

The Ancient One's voice was as warm as ever, making Depp feel extremely comfortable.

Depp thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I come from fifteen years ago. And now, in that world, the me from fifteen years in the future seems to have some problems. He has become paranoid and violent. He is obsessed with ruling the world and is willing to kill his former comrades who fought alongside him."

“But I’m clearly not that kind of person, but… all the signs indicate that it must be me.” Depp lowered his head, his voice growing softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong and was feeling guilty.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi shook her head and said, "Why are you so sure that person is you?"

Depp touched the Mirror of Profile and said, "Because I have the ability to see other people's real names, I saw it. He is me, and his name is Leonardo Depp."

"Leonardo Depp?"

The Ancient One muttered to herself, then suddenly took a step forward. At the same time, she brought her left elbow to her waist, and her right hand, glowing with a strange light, slapped Depp's chest in an instant.

The Ancient One's power was undeniable at this moment.

Even someone as powerful as Depp was still pushed off balance by the Ancient One.

As the Ancient One struck Depp's chest, a figure emanating white mist emerged from behind Depp's body, seemingly Depp's soul.

Surprisingly, however, Depp's soul and body are not the same.

One of them had dark brown hair, while the other had pure black hair.

One of them had sky-blue eyes, while the other had dark brown ones.

One of them had slightly sunken eye sockets, while the other did not.

One of them has the perfect Western handsome face, while the other's appearance is full of Eastern beauty.

However, they all have one thing in common: they are all incredibly beautiful, beautiful enough to drive any woman crazy.

Depp's soul floated in mid-air. He looked at his body, then at his hands and body, his eyes filled with shock.

With a casual stroke of her pen, the Ancient One created a mirror that appeared in front of Depp.

Looking at the handsome face of the Asian man in the mirror, countless memories flooded into Depp's mind.

Looking at Depp, who was in tears, the Ancient One asked softly, "Now, tell me, who are you?"

“I…I am Leonardo…Depp?” Depp said softly, but suddenly changed his words: “No! That’s not right, I am Lu Chen, I am Chinese, I am a time traveler.”

Upon hearing Depp's words, the Ancient One remained calm, but her expression showed no emotion.

She no longer cares about Depp's background; she only wants Depp to strengthen his beliefs.

"So, who exactly is that guy who's causing trouble in another world?" the Ancient One asked softly.

Depp suddenly looked up, his eyes resolute, and said, "It's the true owner of this body, the real Leonardo Depp!"

At that moment, Depp finally realized what was going on.

Why can the other person gain my skills in the Marvel universe, but not my items?

The reason why the other person's name is also Leonardo Depp is not because the system or the Mirror of Introduction is wrong.

Rather, it's because the other party was originally that antique shop owner, the original, real Depp.

Ancient One turned and walked into the inner hall, saying, "Now that the true answer has been found, I will no longer interfere with how you choose to proceed in the future. Remember, stay true to yourself and do not be trapped by your inner demons, my disciple."

Chapter 380 Krypton

DC Universe, Gotham City, Depp Corporation headquarters.

Since Clark, Bruce, and others were rescued by Depp, nothing has been able to stop the Depp Group's march toward world domination.

In just one night, the Depp Group received letters of surrender from four countries.

Earth, a planet that has existed for billions of years, seems to be finally about to achieve true global unification.

Fifteen years later, Depp stands on the top floor of Depp Tower, overlooking the entire city of Gotham.

He gently swirled the wine in his glass, letting the expensive red wine inside swirl around the glass, his thoughts seemingly drifting to the farthest reaches of the world.

"That kid, is he really me from fifteen years ago?" Depp downed his clear, bright red wine in one gulp, muttering to himself, "Or perhaps, he's from that world? My counterpart, traveling to each other's worlds? How interesting!"

After saying that, Depp suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the wine glass fell from mid-air, shattering into countless pieces that scattered down below the building.

The shards of glass refracted the sunlight, emitting a dazzling and mesmerizing brilliance, but before hitting the ground, they turned into countless powders and vanished with the wind.

Black Adam stood in front of a secluded dungeon, looking at the listless Billy Batson inside, but Black Adam didn't feel much happiness.

Although the two are often at odds, they are both inheritors of the power of the Six Gods, and can even be considered as fellow disciples.

Furthermore, in the history of this universe, Black Adam did not kill young Billy Bussent's parents, so the two were not mortal enemies.

The enormous steel prison was situated inside a huge well.

The damp and shady environment allows shade-loving plants to grow wildly.

Billy Batson, his mouth gagged, leaned against the wall, his face pale and his breathing weak.

Although there is no immediate danger, continuing in this manner could easily leave the young superhero with many long-term consequences.

“They’re gone, they’re all gone,” Black Adam said first. “They left you here all alone.”

Upon hearing this, Billy slowly opened his eyes, but there was neither sadness nor anger in his eyes, only a hint of a relieved smile.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Although Billy couldn't make a sound, Black Adam still understood the meaning behind his eyes.

“I mean, they abandoned you, left you here all alone, and didn’t even… try to rescue you,” Black Adam continued, unwilling to give up. “Now, you’re all alone!”

His voice was deep and magnetic, which, combined with the seductive magic he used unintentionally, influenced Billy's mind.

It must be said that Billy's ability to maintain his stance under such circumstances demonstrates remarkable willpower.

A decade-long superhero career has taught Billy that he's not just a hero when he shouts "Shazam!"

Even without relying on magic and divine power, he remains a determined, hardworking, kind, and righteous young man.

Upon hearing Black Adam's words, Billy's eyes instantly became much more playful, and Black Adam immediately understood what Billy wanted to say.

"Alone? You, Black Adam, haven't you always been like this?"

Black Adam stood there, stunned, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Yes, although he was the lord of Kandak, he actually had no one he could confide in.

Black Adam had long been used to being alone, but when Billy pointed it out to him, he suddenly realized that he was the truly pathetic one.

In a sense, Billy, who could see through everything with just a glance, was the one who understood Black Adam the most in the world.

Unfortunately, they were enemies, not close friends.

“What a sharp-tongued kid,” Black Adam said, turning around. “I’ll come back and tell you when Depp has completely taken over the world. Until then, Nick, whatever you do, don’t die.”

Black Adam soared into the sky, leaving the cell at the bottom of the well.

Billy watched the black figure disappear into the horizon, his eyes filled with hope.

He had just noticed that something seemed to have changed about Black Adam, a change that was turning for the better.

Furthermore, Billy didn't believe that his Justice League allies would actually abandon him.

He firmly believed that once his Justice League partners were fully prepared, they would return to the world and defeat the man who was asserting his dominance across the globe.

Marvel Universe, Himalayas, Kamar-Taj Sanctuary.

Depp's soul and body were reunited, and his eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at the Ancient One.

Depp bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

“So, what should I call you now? Depp? Or... something else?” the Ancient One teased.

Depp paused for a moment upon hearing this, then uttered the name he had almost forgotten.

“I think you can continue to call me Depp, after all, I’m used to this name and identity,” Depp said. “However, I can also tell you my original name, Lu Chen.”

"This sounds like a Chinese name, so we can be considered fellow countrymen."

The words of the Ancient One dispelled Depp's tense nerves and the dark clouds that had been hanging over his mind, and Depp now felt extremely relaxed.

“Yes, fellow countryman!” Depp said in fluent Chinese, “Teacher, I need to explain to them and then specify the next steps.”

“No problem at all. You can treat this place as your home. Just let me know when you’re leaving.” After saying that, Gu Yi waved her hand and opened a portal.

The Ancient One stepped out and entered the portal, onto the rooftop of the New York Sanctum.

There, Gu Yi had already prepared a recliner and juice, ready for a good rest.

The Ancient One sat on a recliner, picked up her juice, made a toast to Depp, and then closed the portal.

After seeing the Ancient One off, Depp pondered his next move.

But soon, a thought flashed through Depp's mind, and he suddenly remembered something!

The new Krypton he found for Zod and the others fifteen years ago is in the Marvel Universe, and if that fake Depp didn't have the Suspense Ring in those fifteen years...

In other words, for the past fifteen years, Zod and the others have been unable to contact themselves or return to the DC Universe.

Even if they find Earth in the Marvel Universe, they will be surprised to find that everything there is different from before; there is neither Krypton's Al Kal nor Earth's Depp.

Yes, there are Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain America Stephen Rogers, Thor, and the Hulk.

"Damn, I forgot to ask the teacher if Zod and the Kryptonians suddenly visited Earth."
