"Is Apokolips targeting Earth?" Clark pondered, arriving at a logical conclusion. After all, Jor-El had mentioned that Steppenwolf was a general under Darkseid, Apokolips' ruler. His actions likely represented Apokolips.

"I can't give you a definite answer," Jor-El shook his head, providing an unexpected response. "From what I know, Steppenwolf has betrayed Darkseid and was exiled from Apokolips."

Steppenwolf's exile surprised Clark, deepening his confusion. If Steppenwolf no longer served Apokolips, why was he invading Earth? Unfortunately, neither Clark nor Jor-El could piece together a clear motive with the limited information the video provided.

What was certain, however, was the immense pressure Clark felt. Earth faced numerous interstellar threats in the future, and Clark couldn't ignore it. He had to protect Earth, his home.

"I need to become stronger!" Clark resolved. Jor-El had said the Earth's sun could make him stronger. Clark decided to seize the opportunity to grow in strength before these interstellar invasions happened—strong enough to protect Earth from any cosmic threat.

**Wayne Manor.**

Bruce and Alfred wore equally grave expressions, possibly even graver than Clark's. Unlike Clark, who belonged to one of the most powerful interstellar species, Bruce was a mere human, feeling an even greater sense of urgency and helplessness facing an alien invasion.

"Are there really so many hidden aliens on Earth? Is that what the screen is trying to tell us?" Bruce's deep voice broke the silence after a long pause.

"Master Wayne, we still haven't figured out what this screen is," Alfred responded, trying to calm Bruce. "There's no evidence to prove these events are real. Technically, they're just videos. We shouldn't overreact."

But Alfred's expression betrayed his words. If these videos were just on any other medium, Alfred would be right. But these videos played on a mysterious, incomprehensible screen. No one could ignore it, regardless of evidence.

"No, Alfred, only we can see these videos. That must mean something," Bruce insisted. "Even if there's a one percent chance they're real, we must treat them as such!"

Bruce's gaze remained fixed on the screen, his tone resolute. He wouldn't ignore any threat or risk, no matter how slim the chances were.

"And?"

Alfred didn't argue further, knowing Bruce well. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you found The Flash yet, Alfred?"

Bruce had already tasked Alfred with investigating the various figures appearing on the screen. Some characters weren't from the DC universe, making it impossible for Alfred to find anything. But he had managed to gather some information about certain DC characters.

"As for The Flash, there are many legends about him in Central City. Based on current information, there's little doubt he's from there. However, since the video on the screen can't be recorded, we can't replicate his appearance. I still need more time to investigate," Alfred reported.

It's worth noting that the screen's videos could only be seen by the "chosen ones" and couldn't be captured by any device. Thus, the videos couldn't be recorded or circulated. So how could AI entities like JARVIS and Jor-El see the screen? Simply, they were also "chosen ones" allowed to view the screen.

"See? The Flash is real, so what about the others?" Bruce's voice was firm, his skepticism of the screen lessening with each confirmation.

"The others? Aside from you, Master Wayne, we haven't found any leads yet," Alfred quipped, showing a rare moment of humor in front of Bruce.

"Keep investigating," Bruce instructed. "But prioritize The Flash and that female warrior with the shield and sword."

The screen clearly showed these two as future allies fighting against aliens with him. Both were powerful. Well, maybe not The Flash, considering he managed to trip himself. That was a bit odd, even Bruce had to admit.

But the female warrior looked formidable. Why was someone still using a shield and sword in this day and age? Her attire also seemed out of sync with modern society, almost like a character from a storybook. Bruce's curiosity about Wonder Woman was piqued.

"Master Wayne, you previously asked me to prioritize investigating Superman," Alfred reminded, hinting at his frustration.

Among all the extraordinary individuals in the videos, Superman appeared the strongest and most threatening, especially since he had fought Batman. Naturally, Bruce was most concerned about him. Despite extensive efforts, Alfred had found nothing about Superman.
