In the real world, Jiang Cheng, having just finished his meal, stumbled upon another short video related to American comics. This time, it was about The Flash.

**[Flash, are you here for comedy?]**

In a dim, rundown, enclosed space, an intense battle raged between humans and aliens. Several winged aliens were being fiercely gunned down. A massive robot spewed fire at them, decimating the alien ranks.

Inside the robot's cockpit, Bruce gripped the controls tightly, mercilessly firing at the aliens. At this moment, a burly alien with armor and horns leaped onto the robot, swinging an axe down hard. The force caused the broken bridge beneath them to collapse, sending Wonder Woman's sword plummeting into the abyss below.

Seeing this, Wonder Woman leapt after her sword but was clearly too slow to catch it. This was Flash's moment to shine. With a burst of electricity, everything seemed to pause as the world slowed to a near standstill. Everyone was frozen in place except Flash, who ran effortlessly along a vertical wall to reach Wonder Woman's sword, lightly tapping its tip to send it back up to her hand.

Flash, with a proud smile, had barely enjoyed his triumph when he tripped over a step and tumbled down spectacularly. His moment of glory lasted just a second before he crashed.

**In the Marvel 199999 Universe.**

Makkari of the Eternals was utterly speechless. Though mute, she wouldn't have known what to say even if she could speak. The video's claim was accurate—Flash must be there for comedy. Tripping himself up in such a serious battle? What a divine blunder.

When the screen had previously compared several speedsters, Makkari had taken a keen interest in Flash. Although the videos didn't definitively show who was fastest, Makkari had appeared the quickest, covering much of the globe in seconds. Yet, Flash's nickname implied extraordinary speed, surely faster than Quicksilver.

Makkari had even considered challenging Flash to a race if he existed. But now, seeing Flash's comedic blunder, she couldn't help but feel disheartened. Was Flash a rookie still mastering his powers? Or was he simply distracted by Wonder Woman's grace?

**In the DC Extended Universe.**

In the Arctic's "Fortress of Solitude," Clark's expression turned more grave than ever. Another alien invasion? Following General Zod and the mysterious race wiped out by a nuke, yet another species had appeared. Why was Earth constantly targeted?

Turning to Jor-El with concern, Clark asked, "Father, do you know who these aliens are?"

Jor-El's severe expression indicated he did. "Yes, Kal, I know them. That's Steppenwolf and his Parademons."

"Who is Steppenwolf?" Clark asked, his concern growing.

"Steppenwolf hails from Apokolips, a planet whose civilization rivals Krypton's. In fact, Krypton once warred with Apokolips and even we feared them. They are formidable enemies, not to be trifled with."

Clark felt an immense pressure. Krypton was a top-tier civilization, so anyone they feared was a dire threat indeed. "Steppenwolf is one of Darkseid's generals, aiding in the destruction of countless worlds. He is among the most feared beings in the cosmos."

Clark's anxiety heightened. Steppenwolf was a massive problem, perhaps even on par with General Zod. Why was such a powerful figure targeting Earth?
