Chapter 193: Crisis of Flash

The LexCorp Tower is located in the heart of the business district, it is the tallest building in the district. From the top, one can see the bustling metropolis, busy figures passing through the intersections of traffic lights like ants.

Black Adam's muscles are solid, his arms strong, the black-gold-trimmed tight-fitting suit outlines his muscular physique without an ounce of fat, his chest robust with the emblem of lightning.

At this moment, he was standing with Luthor on the rooftop of the LexCorp Tower, using the power of magic to gaze into the universe.

The entire Earth is guarded by the divine magic barrier cast by Olympus, satellites malfunction, space telescopes can only see a blur, only Black Adam and Luthor, who wield the power of magic, can see the war in the universe from the top of the LexCorp Tower.

"Is he the enemy you spoke of?"

Black Adam spoke, casting a sideways glance at Luthor's bald head.

Although he looked like a brute with his muscles knotted and his physique mighty, possessing the wisdom of the Egyptian god Thoth symbolizing intelligence, Black Adam has rich knowledge, including insight, photographic memory, war strategy, mathematical calculation abilities, and more.

He may be an ancient man, but his learning speed is extraordinary. Coming to the modern society and back, although still feeling unfamiliar, he has already recognized the various sciences and open-minded opinions of modern society.

I may be an ancient man, but I'm not a person you can rely on after pointing at someone and saying, "This is my enemy!" who can turn the Kuiper Belt into a particle accelerator, accelerate it to half the speed of light, and defeat three Olympian gods and two cosmic guardians inside?

My enemy should be Shazam, not someone who defeats gods!

"He wants to occupy Earth, he will be our common enemy. You don't want Kahndaq to become his colony, letting him rampage and revive the era of slavery, do you?"

Luthor wore a white suit, his right eye flashing with magical power, this magic eye allows him to see the trajectory of magic, and see the battles in the starry sky.

He outlined a dangerous smile, giving Black Adam a very unpleasant imagination.

Black Adam cares most about his homeland, Kahndaq, and is unwilling to let it return to the era of enslavement thousands of years ago.

"You got me involved, but I'm not his match." Black Adam's face was grim.

He couldn't deny that this Kryptonian who could defeat three gods and two cosmic guardians in the starry sky is far more powerful than him.

Black Adam's power comes from the distant cosmic era, a contract signed by the powerful wizards and gods of the Circle of Eternity, as long as he shouts Shazam, he can obtain the power of six gods.

Black Adam's power comes from the Egyptian gods: Shu's endurance, Horus's speed, Amun's strength, Thoth's(Zehuti) wisdom, Atum's divine power, and Menthu's courage.

However, due to the disappearance of the Egyptian gods in the universe for unknown reasons, only the last remnants of their power remain, inherited by Black Adam when called upon. His power will not increase or solidify eternally.

Unless he finds the decadent wizards of the Circle, seizes a new group of divine contracts, invokes the name of Shazam, replaces the power of the six gods, or incorporates the power of the new six gods into himself, becoming the possessor of the power of twelve gods. Then, he will be the most powerful Shazam.

"To obtain, weaknesses must appear." Luthor blinked his magical eye, reverting it to human eyes, and smiled, saying, "There's a partner who can cooperate coming."

After saying this, Luthor turned around and walked towards the door at the rooftop.

Black Adam glanced at Luthor's back and followed him step by step, saying, "You don't need to pretend to be confident. I feel your inner hesitation and confusion, just like me. We have no idea how to deal with him."

Anyone who sees the scene where the Emperor of Krypton defeats his enemies in the Kuiper Belt can't help but feel despair.

You can't find any weaknesses to deal with such an enemy.

All the confidence and calmness are nothing but disguises, the inner hesitation and unease are deeper than ordinary people.

Luthor seemed to tacitly agree, rarely saying anything in defense. The smile on his face disappeared directly, leaving no expression.

The two of them arrived at the elevator leading directly to the basement. Riding the elevator, they arrived at the underground research lab. Luthor's smile returned as he clapped his hands, entering the bio-research lab and welcoming, "Welcome, Batman. Thank you for setting aside Wayne Enterprises' affairs and coming to the LexCorp Tower's underground research lab."

Luthor and Black Adam entered the bio-research lab, the crisp applause echoing in the lab.

As soon as they entered, they saw Batman, slightly alert, standing by the sickbed. On the sickbed lay the Flash, muttering incoherently, as if in a nightmare, eyes closed, eyeballs moving irregularly beneath the eyelids, murmuring anxiously, "It's not real." "Doesn't exist." "Can't close the loop." "He shouldn't exist."

"Luthor, what have you done to the Flash!"

Batman's eyes narrowed, flashing a dangerous signal.

He tracked the whereabouts of Superman and the Flash, and in the surveillance footage, saw Martian Manhunter taking action, frequently entering and leaving LexCorp Tower. Following Martian Manhunter's trail, he found the underground bio-experiment lab of LexCorp Tower.

Here was a vast bioweapon manufacturing base, filled with clones of Superman and genetic research on him.

There were even some relatively perfected clone results.

Until he found the room where the Flash was located and saw the Flash lying on the sickbed, he couldn't help but feel a mix of shock and anger.

"I haven't done anything to the Flash. On the contrary, I saved him. It was the Flash who trusted Jor's lies and helped Jor escape from the lab."

Luthor snapped his fingers, and the nearby screen opened the surveillance footage, clearly showing Martian Manhunter saving the Flash, the Flash helping Jor-El complete the Kryptonian body, and then being contemptuously knocked out by Jor-El and collapsing.

Everything was clear.

Deceived and used.

Indeed, it was something the kind-hearted Flash could experience.

"What do you want, Luthor?"

Batman glanced at Luthor and asked in a deep voice.

"The same as you, saving the world. Both you and I need allies."

"The Justice League doesn't need you."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman have been killed by the Kryptonian Emperor in space." Luthor said calmly.

"What! That's impossible."

Batman's pupils contracted.

No one knew better than him the combat power of the members of the Justice League.

Theoretically, Batman was the weakest member of the Justice League, so he always prepared, secretly collecting and mastering detailed information on the abilities of several Justice League members based on every action they displayed.

Green Lantern's magical power ring and Wonder Woman's all-around divine equipment and powerful physical strength were definitely on par with Superman's. But... dead?

But death was also normal. Facing the Kryptonian Emperor, who defeated the Justice League unitedly at a glance, it was normal to die by his hands.

Batman immediately knew that what Luthor said was highly likely to be true.

He felt a mixture of emotions, melancholy and sorrow.

Suddenly, Batman's arm was caught by the Flash.

The Flash suddenly opened his eyes wide, arcs of yellow electricity flashing across his eyes as he shot up from the sickbed.

"Batman, he shouldn't exist, he's not from this world."

"The Speed Force tells me we can't let him form a closed loop, can't let him exist in this universe."

"I can save Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, stop all of this from happening, prevent it from ever happening."

"I'll time-travel back to a time before he existed, to their planet—Krypton."
