American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

28. Twins

In an instant, Alex felt as if he was all alone in the world. The noisy, chaotic sounds around him gradually faded away, leaving only Alex calmly watching General Zod on the screen, still speaking eloquently.

"So, this is the DC movie universe?" Alex frowned deeply, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Generally speaking, movie universes are much safer than comic or animated universes due to the constraints of live-action and high special effects costs, leading to the 'weakening' of most characters, making them far less terrifying than in the comics. However, the DC movie universe is clearly an exception.

Judging by the movies, facing the 'monsters' in this world, Alex didn't feel he had any chance of resistance. In the comics, Captain Boomerang, an ordinary person, could still hold his own against the Flash. Even in the Arrowverse, Captain Boomerang could pose a slight threat to Green Arrow and the Flash.

But in the movie universe, Captain Boomerang, a moderately famous villain, was instantly defeated by the Flash in one encounter.

So, by comparison, since even the Flash couldn't stand toe-to-toe with Superman, and ordinary people are basically cannon fodder against the Flash, it shows just how terrifying the villains who can match Superman are.

It's not just Alex himself—even with Pietro's help, Alex doubted they could guarantee their safety.

The battle between General Zod and Superman almost destroyed half of Metropolis. In such a level of conflict, the shockwaves alone could kill a lot of people. Even Batman had to 'stay put' and watch from below. How could ordinary people get involved?

Moreover, this universe is far from as wonderful as imagined. Like other DC universes, this place can't escape the fate of reboots.

If Alex remembered correctly, the scene unfolding now should be from the movie Man of Steel. General Zod had spent 50 years traveling to Earth to find the genetic engineering project containing all Kryptonian gene samples, which had been injected into Superman at his birth by his father.

In this storyline, Superman's father had injected all the genetic samples and reserves of Krypton into Superman and sent him to Earth. This was the fundamental reason that attracted General Zod and led to the ensuing conflict on Earth.

"It looks like I need to find a way to leave Metropolis as soon as possible." Alex quickly came up with a strategy. Ignoring the surrounding people's astonishment and fear due to General Zod's appearance, he turned and walked back toward the hotel.

Now that he knew the universe he was currently in, there was no rush to gather more information. Overall, as the first movie of the DC movie universe, this timeline was still relatively safe. Anyway, Superman would deal with General Zod. All Alex had to do was leave Metropolis quickly. As long as he stayed out of their conflict, he should be fine.

Though Darkseid would appear in the future, and the planet would likely be destroyed by him before the Flash would travel back in time to reboot the universe, that was years away. There was still plenty of time left for Alex.

For now, he needed to figure out why the tempad had transported him to this universe.

The DC universe and the Marvel universe are two completely different worlds. Although both universes have superheroes and concepts of multiverses and parallel universes, ultimately, they are entirely different. Their universal laws, energy conservation, and creation concepts have significant differences.

Taking out the tempad from his pocket and looking at the unresponsive screen, Alex let out a slight sigh of relief. Actually, there had been some exchanges between the two universes in the comics. Alex had read several collaborative comic issues between the two companies. The most famous of these was probably JLA/Avengers, but that was more for fun.

But now, having personally experienced crossing from Marvel to DC, Alex had to take it seriously.

If Marvel time and DC time truly existed and could interact, it wouldn't be simple. Both worlds have vast multiverses that wouldn't intersect easily. This means that only a few universes can genuinely interact.

Thinking of this, Alex recalled the giant 'Multiverse World Tree' composed of starlight he saw during his crossing. If that tree represented the Marvel universe, there should be a similar tree for the DC universe.

These two world trees are composed of different timelines of the multiverse, constantly developing and expanding, influencing and colliding with each other. Ultimately, some multiverse timelines will 'entangle.'

And this is the initial area where the two independent timeline multiverse world trees form a connection. These few entangled multiverse timelines become 'anchors,' deepening the connection between the two different universes.

"So, if that's the case, it's not that the two universes formed a passage, but one of the countless infinite multiverses in Marvel happened to connect with one of the timelines in the DC universe, resulting in this accidental crossing."

Alex rubbed his chin. He wasn't a top student, so he didn't fully understand advanced physics. He could only speculate in a way that fit his observations.

After all, this was his first encounter with such a thing. Before crossing, he had even thought those comics were fictional and could never actually appear.

As Alex thought this far, he suddenly realized something even more terrifying.

If he remembered correctly, DC comics had linked up with the MonsterVerse, where the Justice League and Godzilla, and King Kong had interacted. Additionally, Marvel had Predator vs. Wolverine. Could it be...

Alex dared not think further. At this moment, he felt incredibly vulnerable and confused. Having experienced so much in a short time, he felt the pressure mounting.

It's better to go back and sleep first. Thinking too much is useless. Shaking his head, Alex dismissed those chaotic thoughts and turned into an alleyway.

This alley was a shortcut back to the hotel, usually not used by many people. Only scavengers or nearby residents would take this route. At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the street, only Alex and a pair of twins walking towards him.

Alex rubbed his temples, trying not to think about those unnecessary things. For now, the most important thing was to get some good rest. Alex had been driving non-stop, even through war zones, and hadn't dared to rest until now. His eyes were already bloodshot.

The two men walking towards him looked like twins, whispering to each other. Alex instinctively stepped aside to let them pass. But just as their paths crossed, the already exhausted Alex suddenly heard a sentence that made him shiver.

He instantly felt wide awake!

"...I don't know... General Zod..."

"We need to assemble the Justice League..."
