Shaken!
She found out!
The man in front of me!
It seems... she understands her better than the Joker?
It seems... he cares about her more than the Joker?
It seems... she can bring her more... than the clown.
True happiness and... a sense of security?
Is it...
He was the one destined for him.
Harley looked at Lin Tian's handsome face, which made her heart race!
Kai in my eyes!
the first time!
It flashed with a frenzy unlike anything seen before!
It was filled with confusion, dependence, and... a glimmer of girlish infatuation!
133 Justice League on alert, a storm is brewing in Gotham! Mirror Goddess, undercurrents are surging.
Lin Tian's activities in Gotham City, although deliberately kept relatively "low-key," were still being handled covertly by "Zero" and Mistra.
However, his very existence, along with the several powerful and dangerous queens around him, remained as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the night for certain individuals with top-tier intelligence networks and extraordinary perception abilities.
Especially the Dark Knight—Bruce Wayne—who considers the entire Gotham City his "territory" and harbors the highest level of vigilance towards Lin Tian!
Although Bruce's mental state was affected to some extent by the "Hehuan Mark" planted by Lin Tian, and he often felt inexplicably tired and confused.
However, his strong will and rich experience as Batman still made him keenly aware of the various anomalies that had recently occurred in Gotham City!
For example, some important crime scenes leave behind extremely faint yet unusually powerful unknown energy fluctuations.
For example, the secret surveillance equipment he deployed in various corners of the city would occasionally capture some fleeting, blurry figures that were too fast to recognize.
For example, some of his informants in Gotham's underworld reported that a mysterious Eastern force seems to be quietly integrating and infiltrating certain gangs? Even the Penguin has become unusually "well-behaved" lately?
more importantly!
The special vital signs monitor he left on Alfred showed that Alfred had fallen into a deep coma lasting several hours a few days prior?! And he had no memory of what happened during that coma afterward?!
All of this anomaly points to Lin Tian, the man who haunted the Bat Cave like a nightmare!
He really didn't leave Gotham!!!
He had been lurking in the shadows of this city all along!
What exactly is he trying to do?!
Bruce Wayne was once again gripped by an immense sense of crisis and rage!
He knew! He alone, even with the entire Bat Clan combined, would likely struggle to fight against Lin Tian and the terrifying women around him!
He must seek help!
He needs even greater power!
then!
Bruce Wayne put aside his ridiculous pride and aloofness!
For the first time! Proactively! Sending out the highest level of distress signal to his "superhuman colleagues" who had always maintained a distance and vigilance!!!
He contacted Clark Kent, the Superman who was far away in Metropolis and seemed to be in some kind of predicament because of Lin Tian!
He contacted Wonder Woman Diana Prince, who was far away on Paradise Island and possessed divine powers, and seemed to have some kind of "special connection" with Lin Tian!
He also contacted other potential Justice League members on September 917th!
He shared with everyone, without reservation, the anomalies he had discovered in Gotham City, and his assessment of Lin Tian's strength and danger!
And! In an unprecedentedly serious and solemn tone! A warning was issued!!!
"Lin Tian! This man is far more terrifying than any enemy we could imagine!!! His power is unfathomable! His motives are insidious and unknown! He may even possess some kind of mind control ability that we cannot comprehend!!!"
"If we don't unite and fight him together, what awaits us, what awaits the entire Earth, is likely... utter destruction!!!"
Batman's plea for help, brimming with a sense of crisis and a grave warning, was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake! It instantly stirred up enormous waves in the hearts of the superheroes who also harbored fear and suspicion towards Lin Tian!
……
Metropolis, a fortress of solitude.
Superman Clark Kent looked at the encrypted message from Batman, along with the accompanying reports on unusual events in Gotham City, and his expression became extremely grave!
Lin Tian is still on Earth! And he's lurking in Gotham?!
What on earth does he want to do? !
Could it be that he really wants to rule this planet, just as he claims?!
Just thinking about how Lin Tian blasted him away with that punch, and that look of utter contempt in his eyes!
Superman's heart was filled with anger and resentment!
But he had to admit it! Lin Tian's strength was indeed far superior to his own!
He alone is no match for him!
Batman is right! We must unite!
"It seems it's time... to make a choice." Superman took a deep breath! A resolute glint flashed in his eyes!
He can no longer run away!
For the Earth! For everything he protected!
He has to step forward!
Even if we're facing enemies as powerful as gods and demons!!!
……
Paradise Island.
Diana Prince also received a message from Batman.
When she saw the message mentioning Lin Tian's name, and Batman's descriptions of him filled with "hostility" and "slander," she was deeply moved.
Diana's brow furrowed instantly! A surge of intense displeasure welled up within her!
How could Lin be a bad person?!
He clearly came to Earth to fight against a cosmic threat!
He was so gentle! So strong! So…
Although some of his actions were indeed somewhat... domineering? Even... cruel?
But there must have been a reason for all of that! It was all for the sake of achieving a greater goal!
Batman! This mortal hiding in the shadows of the BFBI! He doesn't understand Lin at all!!!
How dare he slander Lin like that?!
For the first time, Diana felt a strong sense of resentment and hostility towards this "colleague" who was also dedicated to upholding justice!
but…
Is Lin in Gotham right now?
What was he going there for?
Is it really as Batman said? Are they plotting something in the shadows?
Or...did he run into some trouble?
No! I have to go check it out!!!
I must get to Lin's side!!!
Regardless of whether he is good or evil! Regardless of what he wants to do!
I will stand with him!
In an instant, Diana made a decision!
She didn't even report it to her mother, Hippolyta!
She directly used a trace of spatial power contained in the "Hehuan Mark" that Lin Tian had left on her (this was a "perk" that Lin Tian had specially left for her, so that she could "teleport" to his side at any time)!
hum! ! !
A faint purple-gold light flashed by!
Wonder Woman Diana vanished from Paradise Island in an instant!
……
Other Justice League members (or prospective members) who received Batman's plea for help also responded!
Some chose to immediately head to Gotham to provide support!
Some are unable to leave temporarily due to distance or other important matters.
But everyone realized!!!
An unprecedented and enormous crisis!!!
A storm that could decide the future of Earth!!!
Right here in that dark city called Gotham!!!
They've quietly gathered together!
And Lin Tian!!
This man who stirred up all the storms!!!
It will become the absolute center of this storm!!!
The night in Gotham City was darker and more oppressive than ever before.
It was as if the air itself was filled with a tense atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.
Batman, Bruce Wayne, stood on the top floor of Wayne Tower, looking down through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the bizarre city illuminated by neon lights below, his brow furrowed and his eyes serious.
He has sent out distress signals to all the “allies” he can contact.
But he wasn't sure how many people would respond.
It's uncertain whether, even if they all came, they could truly stand against that god-like man—Lin Tian.
He wasn't even sure if Lin Tian's pawns were hidden within his so-called "alliance."
For example... Wonder Woman Diana, who seems to have complicated feelings for him?
Bruce's heart was filled with unprecedented anxiety and unease.
But he had no choice.
He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Hopefully, Lady Luck will be on their side this time.
suddenly!
The bat computer emitted a series of urgent alarms!
"Intrusion alert! Multiple high-energy reactions detected rapidly approaching Gotham City!!!"
coming! ! !
Bruce's heart skipped a beat! He immediately focused his attention on the screen!
See!
The first streak! A dazzling blue-red light, as radiant as the sun! Traveling at a terrifying speed several times faster than sound! From the direction of Metropolis! It ripped through the night sky! hurtling straight towards Gotham City!!!
It's Superman!!!
