I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"Superpower, did you do this?" a member of the alliance questioned.

Before Carl could explain, Batman contacted them and mentioned them. In order to end the pointless fight as soon as possible, Owl chose to leave directly, completely ignoring Batman and the Joker who had entered the Eagle's Nest with him.

The Joker didn't understand what the things here were for, but Batman had a guess. He stopped the Joker and watched the whole thing unfold.

Batman said in a deep voice, "We were wrong. The Ultimate Alliance may indeed be a bunch of bastards, but what they did was undoubtedly to save the world. The universe is about to be destroyed by some unimaginable catastrophe, and that spaceship is the last Noah's Ark!"

Some things are not inexplicable; the key is to look at the context in which they are spoken and who said them.

If Karl were to say these things, the other side would definitely suspect that he is making excuses. Even if they don't directly deny him, they will definitely demand that he produce solid evidence. This would waste precious time. It's impossible to convince others that he has turned the Earth into this mess with just a few words.

"I told you from the beginning that you'd better not get involved in what's going on here. If you don't want to die, get on the spaceship now."

Carl tossed the box containing the remaining lamp rings to Hal, then sped off to the underground space exploration tower.

The anti-monitors have now arrived outside their universe, but they haven't officially launched an attack to destroy it yet; they must leave immediately.

"Night Owl, activate the space probe tower immediately. Forget about the location, let's get out of here first," Karl urged.

“I’m working on it.” Night Owl replied through gritted teeth, his hands never stopping as he worked: “But the opponent’s energy index is too high, seriously affecting the operation of the Speed ​​Force space.”

"The data is currently disordered. If we rashly enter the Speed ​​Force space, we will almost certainly get lost inside. We must remeasure the data."

"how long?"

"At least two minutes, and we'll still need the help of the Speedster."

Karl pressed his temple in frustration. Two minutes was far too long. By the time the probe tower was completed and the passage was set up, the universe would have already been destroyed. He had to think of another way.

At this moment, Batman, having understood the situation, suddenly said, "Let me try to open the passage with the Mother Box."

As he spoke, he took out the Mother Box hidden under his cloak and tried to open the sonic tunnel to Earth 0. This tunnel was not affected by the Speed ​​Force space, so it was much less affected, but it was still very unstable. The tunnel was intermittent, like an old TV with a bad signal.

However, it's already good news that it's effective. Karl took out the golden skull and said, "This is a tool specifically used to travel between our two universes, allowing the Mother Box to open a passage along its trajectory."

Karl grabbed the three people present and brought them to the ground. Then, using items from both worlds, he constructed a large portal in the air that could accommodate the spaceship.

After the passage opened, he threw the people in his hands into it, followed by the Octopus Ship, which contained most of the people. After pushing it in as well, Carl looked at the only remaining buildings on Earth.

He wanted to go back and forth again, but by then the red light had already fully erupted!

Chapter 189 Escaping the Universe

At the last moment, Carl rushed into the escape tunnel leading to Earth Zero, and as he looked back at Earth, he witnessed the end of the universe.

The stars vanished, space collapsed, and a crimson light nearly devoured everything. A hundred-meter-tall metal tower fell from the sky, landing on the remaining fragments of land.

The real culprit of this disaster, the armored Anti-Monitor, stood atop the tower, overlooking the dying universe.

……

……

Main universe, Earth 0.

A portal suddenly appeared in the sky above the peaceful city of Gotham, accompanied by a huge noise.

The citizens of Gotham, who had prior experience with similar incidents, thought that the Apokolips invasion from five years ago was about to repeat itself. What made them even more panicked was that this time, Brainiac's spaceship appeared from the portal. Brainiac was also a major villain who had caused a global catastrophe. Was Gotham ultimately destined to be destroyed?

Fortunately, before fear could spread, Superman and other Justice League members appeared in time to calm the surrounding crowd.

The Octopus Ship landed on the Gotham coast and swam in the sea like a real octopus. Three hours later, the Justice League finally finished dealing with the reporters and official agents who came to question them and came to the spaceship. Carl and the others stayed there and did not go out.

“I think we should have a proper talk now,” Superman said.

It was time for a serious talk, Karl thought so too, so he dismissed everyone except Night Owl and Mebius and went to a secluded room on the spaceship with the Justice League's three leaders to talk.

"Phew, you must have a lot of questions in your hearts. Ask away, we have plenty of time now and can explain everything clearly." Karl let out a long breath and then said calmly.

The two people beside him knew his true character, so Karl didn't need to pretend to be so dignified.

The three leaders looked at each other. They did have many questions. After exchanging glances, they decided to ask about the anti-surveillance agents first.

"What exactly was that disaster that happened before we left? I could feel that power was incredibly strong. Your Earth should already be..." Wonder Woman didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.

“Not just Earth, but the entire universe will be destroyed. Earth might even have some remnants left, which could serve as a foothold for the enemy,” Karl said nonchalantly.

“You all seem to care at all.”

“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I was mentally prepared a long time ago. You can think of it as a prophecy. The universe is destined to be destroyed by someone at some point, and I know some signs that will appear before the other party arrives.”

Carl continued, "So the current situation on Earth is actually within expectations. The location itself doesn't matter, since no one has died yet."

Actually, one person did die, and that was Eagle Claw. However, the person who killed him was the Joker, and it had nothing to do with the Justice League. Night Owl will handle this matter himself.

“On this point, we must apologize to you. I didn’t know you started the spaceship to save people. If Mebius hadn’t stopped us, we would have almost caused a disaster. I’m really sorry,” Superman said, bowing his head.

Carl wasn't really concerned about it, because the Justice League hadn't succeeded, no consequences had occurred, and the other side hadn't meant any harm.

But Carl couldn't just let it go like that; he had to make a request.

"If you promise not to get involved in Earth 3 again, I will let bygones be bygones for your mistakes in this operation."

"This..." Superman was in a dilemma. One thing at a time, what happened on Earth 3 was indeed an atrocity, and it was really difficult for them to turn a blind eye.

“In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary. Before the crisis is resolved, there must be no internal strife on Earth. But after the crisis is resolved, I will suppress the villains and make the order better. Can you accept that?”

Superman thought for a moment and said, "Your situation is very special, so I promise you that we can also help you with things here in the future, of course, after discussing it with you."

“No, no, no,” Karl shook his head. “We will not settle down on this earth. It is not suitable for us. There is no place for us here.”

Superman said, "Want to find a new planet? Hmm, that's a good idea. Without miniaturization, Earth really can't hold so many cities."

He misunderstood, because what Carl actually meant was that he wouldn't settle down in this universe.

He doesn't care about power on Earth. If he could, he would really like to dump all the people on Earth 3 onto the Justice League so he can have some peace and quiet.

But he can't do that, because, as he said, there's no place for them in this universe.

There is a very special mechanism in American comics called reboot.

It's an act of trying to reboot the timeline of the story and make minor adjustments to the settings so that the characters and story settings can adapt to the trend.

Take Superman for example. He doesn't have red shorts on his uniform now, just like Karl, but he did before the last reboot. His character design has changed, and that's because he's an important character. Some characters don't even appear after a reboot.

If the people from Earth 3 were to settle here, they would definitely be set as non-existent by the universe in the next reboot because they have no place in destiny. Even if they were to appear by chance, they would no longer be themselves after the settings were changed.

"Alright, let's forget about our Earth and talk about something else," Carl said.

“Okay.” Superman changed the subject and asked, “Do you know anything about that being that destroyed the universe?”

Karl became serious, then slowly began to speak: "Do you know the process of the birth of the universe?"

The Justice League shook their heads.

"The universe is divided into a matter universe and an antimatter universe. In the matter universe, life began with a beam of white light. The darkness was swept away, and the universe began to become lively. That white light is the center of the matter universe."

"The source of the antimatter universe is an existence called the anti-life equation, which is the foundation of the multiverse, but its only purpose is destruction."

Karl paused for a few seconds, and after the others had processed the information, he continued, "The one who destroyed our universe is called the Antimonitor, a creator god of the antimatter universe."

"Now, he has merged with the Anti-Life Equation and is constantly wandering through the multiverse, causing cosmic-level destruction."

The Justice League listened in silence for a long time. Someone was hunting the universe—this was absolutely shocking news; they had never imagined such a thing existed before.

However, they have no choice but to accept it now, because they have just witnessed that situation. If it weren't for a cosmic-level destruction, someone with the same power as Superman would never have run away so decisively.

The Justice League accepted the facts and then asked a very important question.

"If the anti-monitor roams the multiverse, could our universe also become its target?"

Chapter 190 Temporarily Remaining in the Main Universe

The Justice League wanted to know if the Anti-Monitors would target their universe, and the answer was yes.

Putting aside the fact that the Anti-Monitors are destroying the universe, Earth 0's unique nature means that it will inevitably be targeted by any cosmic-level crisis. As the center of the multiverse, the main universe cannot escape major events.

Carl told the Justice League, "Even if I said he wouldn't come, you probably wouldn't believe me, right? Yes, he will definitely come because he will eventually destroy all the universes."

In the original story, around this time, or shortly thereafter, a major event occurs—a major event called Evil Forever—where an counterpart from a parallel universe invades Earth 0 and is ultimately defeated by Earth 0's anti-heroes.

Carl and his companions are the main characters in the story, invaders from a parallel universe.

Of course, he is different from the original Superpower; he has no desire to stay in this universe and will definitely try to leave whenever he has the chance.

However, if we look at what is happening from the perspective of the fate of the DC universe, no matter how it happened, they from Earth 3 eventually arrived at Earth 0 and clashed with the people of the main universe.

What constitutes a major event? Although most major events are accompanied by crises that can destroy everything, the focus of a major event is not actually the strength of the enemy, but rather its impact on the overall fate and progress of the main universe.

The arrival of Carl and his companions in this world, and the news that the Anti-Monitor would eventually arrive, already completed the meaning of the eternal evil, paving the way for the next, even more important event.

“The Anti-Monitor, this is perhaps the most powerful enemy we have ever encountered. We must prepare for his arrival,” Wonder Woman said.

"What are you planning to do? Do you plan to build an escape ship like Karl did?" Mebius asked curiously.

She has now transformed back into a petite loli-like form. The Doomsday gene has preserved her original shapeshifting ability, and even surpassed it. She looks more beautiful and more dangerous, and her monstrous form has left a deep impression on everyone.

Superman still looks at Mebius and Karl with a strange expression. He really can't believe that Doomsday, who was so brutal that he almost lost his life, has a loli form in a parallel world, and it seems that he has an ambiguous relationship with him in that world.

This is absolutely insane; he needs some time to process it.

"Ahem." Superman pulled himself out of his reverie and replied, "Before we make any plans, we want to know how long it will be before the Anti-Monitor arrives in our universe."

Carl didn't answer immediately. American comics have confusing timelines, and time travel plots appear from time to time. In addition, there was the butterfly effect he had caused. If you asked him to give an accurate number, he really couldn't.

However, just as he cleverly used the death of Eagle Claw to predict the arrival of the Counter-Monitors, he could also use a similar method to know the date of the Counter-Monitors' actions from the perspective of fate.

Evil Forever is essentially a prelude to the next major event, which is not yet destined to begin, as a crucial character has yet to appear—the Super Queen's child.

Carl calculated the Super Queen's delivery date and then said, "The anti-life equation won't be truly satisfied until all universes are destroyed, but it will temporarily subside after the cosmic-scale destruction is complete."

"It won't be too long, probably, um, about 7 months."

Superman breathed a sigh of relief. This was undoubtedly good news. They couldn't avoid disasters, but they had gotten used to it. This world was far from peaceful, with countless beings eyeing Earth. Being able to know about dangers in advance and have enough time to react was already a very good situation.

"You just asked us if we should escape to other universes. The answer is no. If we escape, it would be equivalent to giving up most of the life in the universe."

"If it's just a matter of not having enough time, then so be it. But since we have a full seven months, why not try to defeat the anti-monitors?"

Carl wasn't surprised by the answer and said, "I can't comment on your decision, but you should at least come up with a feasible solution."

Superman continued, "The current situation is this: the Anti-Monitor is still on Earth-3 and hasn't come over yet. If he does come, things might turn out the same as before. We won't have time to do anything, we won't even see him, and the universe will be destroyed."

"This is a rare opportunity. We know the exact location of the counter-surveillance agents, so we can take the initiative and eliminate them, and everything will be fine."
