"The world of Krona, the world where I took you away last time."

DCUniverse...

Some unwanted memories flashed through Xu Fu's mind. The thing is, Xu Fu has lost a lot of power, and he really doesn't believe the Grandmaster. But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Fu has to admit one thing: if what the Grandmaster said is true, and there are no so-called Sentinels in this world, then Xu Fu really can't think of any way to fight a battle right now. However, he can still enter the DC Universe. The DC universe seems to understand extraordinary power better than Marvel.

Many of DC's abilities are unique to DC, unlike Marvel's abilities, which are either innate or developed through technology. Moreover, there's no way to acquire the ability to fight against these warriors through one's own efforts. This isn't to say that DC is better than Marvel. It's like choosing a restaurant: one has a buffet, and the other only offers à la carte options. So far, the buffet seems more reasonable to you.

"I still don't quite understand."

"Thanos obtained the power he wanted, but his heart is empty. Suppose Thanos really became the master of the universe, representing the will of the universe, have you ever thought about what kind of world that would be!"

Xu Fu was interrupted by Gao Tianzong before he could finish his question. Normally, no matter how a martial artist attacks, there's always a counteracting force. But in the universe of these beings, this counteracting force has vanished—not vanished, not died, but hidden itself. Even Gao Tianzong doesn't know the reason. Therefore, Xu Fu, the only person connected to it, has become the object of everyone's anticipation. Although an existence of Gao Tianzong's level can leave their own universe, a nest of gold is always better than one's own doghouse.

The Grandmaster enjoys reveling in the multiverse, but he doesn't want to be a wanderer. His original universe was destroyed, so he was naturally in a bad mood. As the universe collapses and reforms, the new universe master will become a warrior. A universe full of tyranny, destruction, death, and madness is something that makes people want to vomit just thinking about it.

It's not a bad thing to dismantle the fighter. The fighter actually killed his stand in another universe. The Grandmaster didn't expect Xu Fu to win, but the gambler's mentality can still provide help. Patting Xu Fu on the shoulder, the Grandmaster rejected this cynical attitude.

"Xu Fu, I won't deny it, my expectations of you weren't actually that high. Do you know what the other universe has become? It's like an ocean of the dead, every corner filled with death and destruction. The living, whether dead or alive, have fallen into endless madness, like walking corpses. Life has become a complete joke. The dreams and desires of assassins have been shattered, even the Goddess of Death has been imprisoned because she didn't accept an assassin's marriage proposal. Alas, it's truly a tragedy!"

Xu Fu fell silent, pondering whether to risk going to Washington and abandoning more than a decade of preparation, or to spend more than a decade preparing in this world, searching for a possible miracle. Xu Fu hesitated; he was truly terrified at this moment. He had become devoid of self-awareness, and his heart was heavy. He pulled his chin down and continued to twirl the cup in front of him. Gao Tianzong stood silently in the distance, then exhaled again.

"You really think that under the protection of the gods, we can find the power to fight the Destroyer in ten years or so?! The Heart of the Universe and the Infinity Stones have been completely destroyed by the Phoenix Force. I can't even imagine who in this universe could withstand the Destroyer who has fused with the four Infinity Stones!"

Chapter 580 Revisiting the Old Place

With yellow sand swirling in the sky, it was hard to imagine that New York, once known as the City of Glory by the American people, had now become the City of Glory. Xu Fu frowned, as if he felt exposed. Yes, it was true. Xu Fu finally compromised. He would risk having Gao De take him back to the DC Universe, but this New York might not look like it.

Before Xu Fu could figure it out, a huge explosion occurred in the sky, and the spaceship plummeted. Immediately afterwards, a dozen Kryptonian robots, warriors wearing full exoskeleton armor, fought each other in the air. Xu Fu recognized these Kryptonian robots because he had been to Lonely Fortress before. There were many of them there, but the lights were red, and they didn't look like a pleasant place.

"I hope Superman won't mind me breaking some of his toys!"

Xu Fu's first step in coming to this world is to work hard to improve the Kryptonian genes in his body, which means finding his wife. At least she and another man have not gone through a divorce. Hopefully, Karen won't blame herself too much when she sees him.

Picking up a rock from the ground, Xu Fu hurled it at the Kryptonian robot in mid-air. Fully prepared, he returned the Black Panther armor he'd given to the Avengers. Completely clad in black armor, he walked directly towards the robot, summoning his twin swords and unleashing a slashing attack. The Kryptonian robot didn't even have time to react; vibranium, even in this world, is an extremely hard metal, and a single strike sliced ​​it through. Its synthetic metal body and flimsy defenses were easily dealt with by Xu Fu.

In less than a minute, all ten people were taken down. The person wearing the exoskeleton armor did not get up from the ground. After landing, he walked over, stomped his feet a few times, and still staggered. He struggled to raise his hand and take off his helmet, revealing Datstroke's signature mask in front of Xu Fu.

"I am the commander of the Rebel Alliance in the West, and I must see Batman in person. I must see... Batman in person!"

The outer skeleton armor obviously didn't have any propulsion for flight. This thing fell several thousand meters, and only thanks to the cushioning and the desert environment did it survive without being torn to pieces. Cut open the outer skeleton armor and carry it on your shoulder. The preparations beforehand were quite thorough, with medicine to treat him, as well as some food and water. Now, all they hoped was that Deathstroke would wake up quickly. He had too many questions and too many things to ask him.

...

"ah!".

A day passed, and the burning wounds on his arms and waist awakened Dastrok's nightmare. The dim sky had long since turned into evening, and in front of him, across the fire, sat a familiar yet strange person.

"Slade, it's been years, what's going on?!"

After he and Deathstroke entered cooperative mode, although they hadn't met many times, he had ordered Deathstroke to complete many tasks. However, Deathstroke obviously didn't recognize him. After all, he had been reborn after returning to the universe, and his appearance must have changed more or less. In addition, countless years had passed in this world, and Deathstroke might have long forgotten him.

"Who are you!?"

The voice was still quite familiar, but Deathstroke didn't realize Xu Fu's identity; in fact, Xu Fu didn't know that he had been gone from this world for 20 years.

"Xu Fu!"

"What?".

Upon uttering his name, the soldier, his face pale and his beard bristling, was speechless with shock. He struggled to raise his hand, staring at Xu Fu with disbelief, clearly not trusting him. Xu Fu rested his chin on his hand, pondering his acquaintance with the soldier. In truth, his memories of the soldier were already somewhat hazy.

"I made you destroy the Penguin Bar, I made you attack the Energy Power Lab, I remember you have a daughter, you asked me to give her the best treatment, I sent her and your wife to Germany with the most advanced medical technology, and I also helped you conceal your wife and daughter's identities so that no one could threaten you!"

The silence lasted for more than 10 minutes before the death knell sounded again.

"Batman said you left this world and returned to your own universe. The upheaval twenty years ago really changed many people's lives..."

"Twenty years?"

I was slightly surprised that I left so early, but it's okay, many of my old acquaintances from the past twenty years should still be alive.

“If you are the real Xu Fu, you have been gone for 20 years.”

The death knell's tone was mournful, as if he had weathered many storms. Xu Fu pointed out to the outside world why, in unhappy New York, it was always the city that suffered.

Whose work is this?

"Superman!"

On this issue, Deathstroke showed a hateful expression, and Xu Fu once again wondered how this Superman, who had clearly killed the Joker and the Vulture of Heaven, could still be twisted and depraved.

"..."

He gave Xu Fu a look, then stared at the fire in front of him, as if recalling the past, and spoke to Xu Fu in a sorrowful voice.

About fifteen years ago, Superman and Lois Lane held their wedding in Metropolis. It was a celebration not only for the entire Justice League but also for the whole world. At Superman and Lois Lane's wedding, another important announcement was made: Lois Lane was pregnant, and her child would unite humans and Superman forever.

I will never forget that day. A storm raged in the dark sky, a nuclear bomb exploded in the heart of Metropolis, and then, a laser explosion turned Metropolis into ruins in the blink of an eye. The fire engulfed everyone and killed everyone, including Superman's wife, Lois Lane....

The alien who invaded Earth and Metropolis was called Brainiac. He fought the remaining superheroes, lost, and was wiped out. But I heard that this was only part of it, and he would come back to kill Superman in the future. But Superman did not give Brainiac a chance; he has been in space for five years.

When he returned, Superman was no longer Superman; he proclaimed himself Lord, saying he would protect his wife's world, and then declared war on all its inhabitants, "...all people on Earth at the United Nations."

After a pause, Xu Fu took a sip, tossed the bottle of water to Deathstroke, who nodded his thanks, took a sip to quench his thirst, and then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The Justice League is embroiled in conflict, with some wanting to heed Superman's advice. Internal strife in the human world is draining too much of Earth's energy, and threats from outer space are emerging time and again. Relying solely on superheroes is a mistake. Humanity must integrate all resources, regardless of race or nationality, and everyone must become a team. And the only one who can do this is Superman.

Chapter 581 Goodbye, Superman

“I don’t deny that the filth of this world sometimes disgusts me, but we should never do anything more violent to turn things around. You know, Xu Fu, Superman’s tolerance for crime is something only a demon could do.”

The Justice League disbanded, Superman left without Batman's consent, and Batman left the Justice League again after failing to persuade its members. When the key point of contention was whether to rely on Superman's power to rule the world, the heroes from both sides launched an explosive attack. As a result, Superman redefined justice and joined forces with Black Adam to carry out a brand new operation.

Dastrok's explanation was very detailed, giving Xu Fu a basic understanding of the changes in the world. Superman's wife was dead, and his child had not yet been born. As for why there was a war on Earth, it was probably not just a matter for a brainless fan and a villain. Something more terrible must have happened. Given Batman's nature, Dastrok's chances of knowing the truth were zero.

"what is that!"

At this point, Deathstroke noticed the red light outside; a small, distant dot was rapidly approaching. Xu Fu stood up, lowered his head, and placed one hand on his belt.

"I'm sorry, old friend, to be honest, I didn't expect things to change like this. Society is society, and we always have to pay the price for our choices. I called him out, and thank you for answering my questions!"

"Xu Fu!"

In just a few seconds, the blurry red figure transformed into human form. Superman flew to Xu Fu's side, frowning seriously as he looked at him, coldly snorting and glancing at Death's strike.

"You destroyed my observation post, which was part of the security network monitoring and controlling Texas. It seems your target and attack point is Texas!"

Bang...

Having just fired the bullet that pierced Deathstroke's head, Superman showed no shock or pity. He looked at Xu Fu with an expression that seemed to mock his own actions.

“I told you before that you can’t be honest with people, Clark. Do you sympathize with that now?”

Xu Fu and Superman once discussed the topic of human nature. Superman's answer to Xu Fu was that as long as I treat people sincerely, no one in this world who talks nonsense can affect the justice in my heart. I have a little bit of kindness towards everyone, and everyone will feel good about me. Unfortunately, Superman is really naive in this regard. He wants to use extreme means to deal with all the bad guys, but his conscience and the companions around him are what make Superman persuade himself not to do such a thing.

"Xu Fu, I really didn't expect you to come back. Callum broke through more than two hundred sandbags with your physique and face!"

Superman did not embarrass himself during Xu Fu's flirtatious conversation; what was discussed at the time now seems to Superman as a ridiculous and pathetic choice made by a foolish and ignorant idiot, who at the time did not know the true meaning of that heartbreaking word.

"Let's not talk about that for now... let's talk about something that interests me."

Xu Fu's teeth ached whenever Karen was mentioned. He felt really guilty towards the girl, not only because he had been brainwashed and used, but also because his feelings might have been indulged. After all, he had patted his chest and said that things, especially feelings, are really hard to judge.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why do you want to rule the earth without explaining your purpose and reasons? I want to know the truth!"

Xu Fu doubted Superman not because he didn't believe Dastrok's words, but because he didn't believe Batman's words. Batman's external explanations, whether true or false, could only be believed in one-third of their content, but Superman was different. Even under his seemingly evil exterior, he was still Superman, and there was far more truth in him than in Batman.

“My wife and children are dead because some people opposed my marriage to Louise Lane. They thought I, an alien, didn’t deserve to have offspring on Earth. Louise Lane was innocent. What did she do wrong? What did we do wrong? Are we really going to give up everything in our lives because of the protests of these so-called racially prejudiced people?”

More protesters were brought in, and an extreme attack ensued. Three nuclear bombs were sent to the metropolis. No one stopped them, and no one knew about it. On our wedding day, they detonated the bombs, causing at least 2500 million deaths. They showed no remorse, believing it was all my fault. They said that if I hadn't insisted on marrying Louise, they wouldn't have sabotaged the negotiations, and they wouldn't have resorted to the final act.

Even more ridiculous, Batman, having guessed the answer, blamed it all on Brenniak, who had invaded Earth back then. "Due to the coincidences of the invasion, I also believed Brenniak was the mastermind. I tracked him down for five years, determined to eliminate and kill him forever. After studying the information files and data, I found that Brenniak had absolutely no connection to the attack on Metropolis!"

The tragedy of Superman is not a simple social problem. In the human world, in every community, there are groups of foolish, ignorant, and arrogant people who believe that race or nation is in their own interest. They do things that seem to harm the nation, even when it has nothing to do with the nation itself, and they are filled with righteous indignation, yet they do not understand the true meaning of these actions. Meanwhile, other groups respond with mockery.

Some people have even elevated these topics to a very high level. For example, some American celebrities appear compassionate and righteous. Seeing the poverty in some African countries and the refugees' daily yearning to reach Europe and seek help from developed European nations, one celebrity spent a few hours there taking photos, discussing the refugees' plight, mocking the inhumanity of Europeans, and then flew back to America.

He lived a life of debauchery, spending a small fraction of his money, winning fame and praise from fans, but in reality, he didn't solve a single problem. (Qian Zhao) didn't even know how many refugees America had accepted. The double standards are what make this group of people ridiculous.

But people with double standards aren't scary, because anyone can apply double standards. When something happens that's detrimental to your interests, whatever choice you make is considered correct, because you won't be held responsible for anything unless you break the law, and morality and humanity aren't laws that people can violate or ignore.

This is just about the refugee issue. If we change the model and apply it to Superman, it becomes extremely terrifying. Back then, Bald Qiang used this excuse, believing Superman hindered human progress and development. To prove himself stronger than Superman, he relentlessly engaged in a battle of wits with him, constantly fighting him. And the result...?

Double standards are acceptable...

What's frightening is that dogs who apply double standards will actually take action....

Chapter 582 Join

"An interesting alternative truth."

Looking at the corpse of the assassin, who probably knew nothing about these things, Xu Fu shamelessly assured him that very few people around Batman knew the truth, defending Batman and saying that these things were unimportant; they should focus more on defeating Superman and returning the world to a state where people kill each other.

These hypocrites don't care about other people's interests or losses. They just want to show off their momentary verbal sparring. Seriously, if they really didn't care, they could type on any keyboard online. You irresponsible brat, if you want to do that, as long as you have a strong enough heart, let him be strong.

The problem is that some hypocrites will become fighters, while Hollywood stars are just pretending to be on vacation. When racial issues are changed and aggression spreads, especially against dangerous creatures like Superman, they can do more violent and vicious things. Many wealthy people will support this group, sympathize with and identify with them, and then pay for them. Of course, these wealthy and powerful people will also be stingy in sponsoring them.

One more thing to mention is that during Xu Fu's time, there was a tragic event where a plane crashed into a building. While everyone was grieving and in pain, no one noticed why this action by these bad guys happened, and no one noticed why the number of terrorists kept increasing.

During the Cold War era following World War II, numerous conflicts and disputes arose concerning national issues. Some of these issues, though seemingly minor, were very real. Some individuals, supported by compassionate individuals, took action in sensitive regions; these were the earliest defined terrorists. In addition, there were the terrorists associated with Zong Yue. It was the combination of these individuals and Zong Yue's terrorist group that gave rise to what is now considered terrorism. It was the combination of this group with the later Zong Yue faction that led to the modern understanding of terrorism.
