Barry's echo reached Dane's ears faster than his actual words. This was a unique phenomenon of the Speed Force, indicating that the Barry Allen in front of him was genuine.
Flash's full-face cowl was open, revealing a gaunt, bearded face.
But when Barry clearly saw Dane's face, he suddenly froze.
"Who. The. Hell. Are. You?"
This was not the Batman he knew!
But Barry was running out of time; he had to convey his message within a limited period.
"Superman, beware of him, beware of him! Lois is the key, she is the key!"
After only a few words, Barry's figure twisted under the influence of spacetime, seeming about to disappear the next moment.
But he had spoken so disjointedly; how could Dane let him leave?
So he pulled out the Magic Box from his inventory. The Magic Box's three eyes glowed intensely red, instantly smoothing out the surrounding spatiotemporal distortion and bringing Flash's body completely into this World.
This unexpected situation completely stunned Flash.
Dane continuously provided magic power to the Magic Box, allowing it to stabilize the surrounding space so that it wouldn't interfere with the communication between Dane and Flash.
But this was only temporary, because the Magic Box could only travel between the positive and Antimatter Worlds, and this Flash clearly belonged to neither.
"Now, let's start from the beginning. Which World's Barry Allen are you?"
However, Flash immediately became wary. This stranger actually had the power to fix spacetime!
He had experienced too many events and was no longer the simple big boy he once was.
Flash quietly observed his surroundings, finding that it was no different from the Batcave he knew. This was indeed Bruce's secret Base.
So he probed, "Are you Bruce Wayne?"
Flash asked this because he was worried he had run to the wrong place, entering another parallel Universe.
He knew that counterparts in some parallel Worlds could have different appearances.
But Dane denied his assumption.
"I'm afraid I'm not Bruce Wayne..."
Dane saw that the moment he finished speaking, Flash activated. He tried to use the Speed Force to travel through spacetime again, which was incredibly decisive!
But unfortunately, he couldn't break through the spacetime blockade set by the Magic Box, so in Dane's eyes, he was just running in place, and his running posture was terribly awkward.
"What did you do to me?"
"That's not the answer I was hoping for."
Flash hesitated for a moment before saying, "I thought... I thought I had traveled through time. I wanted to come and tell you that you must be wary of Superman! He's very dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, Dane instantly realized, could this be the start of the Injustice League storyline?
He frowned and asked Flash, "Tell me, what happened to Lois Lane on your side?"
Flash's expression was very surprised; this was indeed the crux of the matter.
"Lois Lane... She died, at the hands of the Joker."
Dane's eyes were obscure and hard to read: "Under your protection, she still died?"
Flash was speechless.
"Let me guess, the Joker also killed their child at the same time. Was their child born?"
Flash was now only left with horror, because such a secret matter, even members of their team might not fully know. How did this man in front of him know?
"Who exactly are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am this World's Shazam, and also the leader of the Justice League."
"Impossible! Where's Superman? Where's Batman? Where's Wonder Woman?"
Flash had seen Shazam's true form!
"Of course, they are all working within the League... I ask you, how bad is the situation on your side?"
At this point, Flash couldn't help but sigh.
"It's very bad. Superman has gone mad. He is ruling the World with tyranny, and he has become an accomplice of Apokolips!"
Apokolips?
Was Darkseid involved in this?
Dane frowned slightly: "Wait, what's with Apokolips? 963"
"You don't know? Or has this not happened to you yet?"
Flash thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little something. If the other party was truly a member of the Justice League, this information might help them.
"After the Steppenwolf war, we encountered the most troublesome enemy, the Joker."
Dane knew this must be the Joker who wasn't killed in the original timeline.
"The Joker set a poisonous trap. He used Scarecrow's toxin to hallucinate Superman. He... he accidentally killed Lois... and their child."
At this point, Flash's face was filled with guilt, because he once had the chance to save everything, but he was late.
It wasn't until Superman's heat vision burned Lois Lane to ashes that Flash belatedly arrived, but by then, it was already too late.
At this moment, Dane asked a crucial question.
"What about the Joker? What happened to the Joker?"
Flash's expression was a bit grim; he said with difficulty, "Joker is… with us now, but only temporarily!"
"Because we found that everything Joker did to Superman was not of his own free will."
Dane's mind spun, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
"Darkseid, and the anti-life equation?"
Flash's heart jumped; he hadn't said anything yet, but the other party already knew.
"How could you possibly know? Wait! Have you already met him?"
But Dane did not answer his question; instead, he immediately followed up with, "You've seen Darkseid with your own eyes?"
Flash shook his head.
"We learned from Joker that the invader could take away a person's free will, so we never dared to appear before him."
Dane knew that Darkseid must have already obtained the anti-life equation, and used it to control Joker's will… This point is questionable; Dane seriously suspected that Joker was not controlled at all, and was enjoying it instead.
But regardless, Darkseid obtaining the anti-life equation should be a confirmed fact.
Scarecrow's hallucinogenic gas shouldn't have such power, so according to the most probable guess, Darkseid must have exerted some influence, for example, he used the power of the anti-life equation on Superman.
Even Clark, he couldn't resist the most terrifying power in the Universe.
So, if his will was taken by the anti-life equation, leading him to commit such a heinous crime against his wife, it is possible.
And given Darkseid's personality, he is very likely to target Superman because of this; Kryptonians are extremely rare in the Universe now, let alone a Kryptonian as strong as Superman.
Darkseid will definitely try every means to turn him into a ruthless warrior in his hands.
And as a result, he may have already succeeded…
