American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

Billy felt like he was moving through history that had been stitched together.

The ruins of countless centuries of human civilization, the endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The scarlet earth is burning, and even the ocean is covered in flames.

Strange objects like snail shells grow on the broken sky. They are more like living things, because those horrible pale creatures are squirming out of those shells, countless heads extending disgusting green tongues, those skinny The limbs are spreading in all directions like nerves.

The walls and floors of the Spiral Castle were all shattered. Under the purple-red abyss were red chains like DNA spirals. They connected the lives like deformed buds, and spewed out those Xitars, as if it were an entire eternal city. Endless insect nest.

"Oh my god..." Billy didn't know how to describe what he was seeing now. Even a nightmare couldn't tolerate this kind of hell.

"I will show you the way, Billy!" Justina held a shield in her left hand and a sword in the stone in her right hand, riding on the "Pioneer" horseback and continuing to move towards the goal. Her face was solemn, and there was a hint of perseverance under it. Cast a haze of sadness.

Because Justina saw the devastated capital of Camelot.

That tragic history also emerged in this dark void.

"Left, Billy!" Justina shouted after smashing three Xitartars with her golden shield. Blue blood splashed into the air, and the Pioneer began to turn with Justina.

A huge shadow suddenly fell from above, as if the abyss opened its bloody mouth and a huge thing was spit out.

Justina was caught off guard and was thrown directly away.

"Justina!" Billy's voice could be faintly heard from the extremely noisy buzzing and rolling sounds of the giant wolf above.

But at this time, Justina heard more war cries and wailings from the dead in past history.

"Spider! Justin Knight! Spider!" "Pioneer" screamed above the dark giant.

The fishy wind roared, and when Justina fell, she had already caught a glimpse of the true posture of the behemoth in her long hair. Even if it has been changed, even if countless pale heads are opening terrifying mouths on the bloated and hairy body, even if the monster's long legs are now like white bone spikes wrapped in asphalt, there is no doubt that they are those Xitars. Giant spiders created by man, those tireless and death-killing machines.

A crack erupted with black filth above the spider, and huge deformed flies also flew out. The knights of the Tatars are now integrated with their mounts, and they have even grown more arms. More heads, weapons from future technology were aimed at Justina.

"Camelot..." Justina opened her chapped lips above the purple void. She turned her right arm upside down above the endless chaos and ruins of history. Her eyes were filled with the desire for victory and the desire to return. With Rongguang's persistence, she seemed to have returned to her own era again. She seemed to see herself standing on the wall of the capital of Camelot again, waiting for the moment when the king's master returned in triumph.

Dusk, sunset, the distant broken horizon, and the only dilapidated warship returning from the burning sky.

Even though tens of thousands of soldiers went to war, only seven returned.

King Arthur also died on the battlefield, and the Sword in the Stone fell into the twilight land of the Tartars.

The Knights of the Round Table no longer exist, only the Knights of the Broken Table remain.

"...Never back down!" Justina discarded her shield. She turned around in mid-air and faced the swooping giant spiders and flies. She raised the sword in the stone with both hands. She gritted her teeth until the blade of the sword stabbed her. Entering the monster's belly, blue blood rained down, and the barbs on the legs of the bone-like insects scratched Justina's armor and skin, but she didn't care.

In Justina's eyes, only the spiral castle appeared under the setting sun, as well as the knights and Pegasus standing on the top of the city.

Camelot will fall today.

Lancelot said as if he was dead, and everyone knew that it would be the last battle.

But not today!

"Pioneer!" Justina roared, and she used all her strength to pull the sword in the stone and cut open the belly of the giant spider. Under the blue blood, she saw the man who was going below to throw the spear. Fly Knight, at this moment, Justina struggled to put her feet on the giant spider's flesh and pale human head. She used her strength to pull out the sword in the stone, and then dived downwards as the world turned around.

The Tatar's spear came out of his hand, followed by dazzling lightning. Justina blocked the electric light with the Sword in the Stone, then flew up and kicked the deformed head with several tentacles among the Xitars. She stepped into the big eye of the fly, and the Sword in the Stone once again Turning into a ray of white light, half of the Xitar's body tilted to the side as blue blood splashed everywhere.

More spiders and flies gathered around, and the "Pioneer" was pushed aside by the group of monsters.

"Shazam!" Suddenly there was a loud roar, and the pure white lightning that swallowed up all the colors suddenly exploded.

Justina also had to lie down on the disgusting fly's head. She tilted her head and closed her eyes. She inserted the sword in the stone into the monster's head to stabilize the spread of energy that was sweeping through it. Even so, she barely managed to stabilize herself in the storm-like explosion.

"Justin Knight!" The voice of "Pioneer" rang in his ears.

Only then did Justina notice that many monsters were falling down from the ground, covered in smoke by the lightning. The "Pioneer" rushed down, and Justina jumped up and left the fly monster that seemed to have fainted. She grabbed He grabbed the outstretched hand of Billy on horseback, then turned over lightly in mid-air, and sat firmly behind Billy.

"What was that just now?" Justina asked with a bloody face.

"I've had enough of these bastards' endless entanglements!" Billy, who had returned to his teenage appearance, said angrily, "A little extreme means to temporarily clean up the scene! Where are we going now?"

"Over there!" Justina pointed to her right side, "I can hear a voice, extremely faint! But that's where I woke up!"

Billy jumped up and shouted, "Shazam!"

The boy once again transformed into Captain Marvel, and he flew rapidly in the direction of Justina's finger. Then, Billy disappeared suddenly, as if the blazing fire and the void below were all some kind of disguise.

"Pioneer!" Justina shouted while holding the sword in the stone. The "Pioneer" turned around and swooped down knowingly, and then disappeared into the bloody void. On both sides of Justina, there were heavy veins like veins. After the fog, Justina saw the blood-red sun and the ruins of the dying world. All history seemed to disappear, and there was only one ending left here.

Billy stopped on the vast sea of ​​sand below, and Justina and "Pioneer" also flew down.

"Is that...our end point?" Billy pointed at the sea of ​​sand and fog covered with metal debris and animal bones. Under the huge blood-red sun, a towering and crooked tree could be vaguely seen.

Justina turned over and dismounted. She still held the Sword in the Stone firmly in her right hand, and took out the bottle containing blue energy with her left hand.

"I think so." Justina remembered what she seemed to have seen in her previous dream, and she recognized the withered tree.

The two walked into the mist, under the heat wave and dirty wind, and arrived under the giant tree.

Dirt dripped from the bare branches, and on the huge trunk twisted by countless spiraling branches was the strange face of the swamp monster.

A man wearing a blue coat and a blue wide-brimmed hat suddenly walked out from behind the tree. The burly man was half-hidden in the shadows, but his two eyes were shining with a cold light in the darkness. .

"I recognize you!" Billy looked at the man in surprise, "Phantom Stranger!"

"The world is not just one form, Billy, Justina." The Phantom Stranger said hollowly, "What you have arrived at is one of the realms that no one knows about. This is the end of the collective unconscious, and it is connected to the thoughts of the source. And the faith of countless lives.”

"What?" Billy asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"That John Constantine also said this." Justina stepped forward and looked at the Phantom Stranger as she sheathed her sword, "I... saw you in my dream."

"Yes, Justina." Phantom Stranger said calmly, "You and I are correcting the mistakes of the past, and you now have the key. In fact, this is the hidden thought in your subconscious that Constantine really gave you. In 1979, no... it should be the key handed to you at the moment when time and space meet."

"Hey! We're here to find Superman!" Billy spread his hands and shouted anxiously, "We're not here to guess riddles!"

"Seeds..." Justina looked down at the bottle and the blue energy in her hand, "Billy, come with me. You have the memory of Superman, and I have the power to awaken him. We must work together. "

The Phantom Stranger stepped aside and waited quietly.

Billy walked forward in confusion, and he and Justina stood in front of the withered giant tree.

Justina raised her hand, crushed the bottle, and let the blue energy liquid spill onto the trunk and roots of the giant tree.

"Tell it what you want, Billy," Justina said. "Prove Superman exists."

Billy frowned, but he quickly squatted on the ground and drew an "S" in the sand.

The face on the giant tree suddenly moved, and then it opened its eyes.

The branches began to shake, and the filth was fading away. Soon, the entire world under the apocalypse was shaking. Amidst some indescribable music, Billy and Justina raised their heads. They were surprised to see the blood-red The sun is rising slowly, it is revitalized, and even begins to become younger, until a golden sun shines on the earth above the sea of ​​sand.

Billy blinked, and then saw a piece of red and blue fallen leaves. He couldn't help but raise his hand and let the fallen leaves fall on his palm.

A breeze blows.

"That's... Superman?" Justina was still looking at the golden sun among the fallen leaves.

Now, a small shadow stands in the scorching sun, like the sun god himself.

"We succeeded!" Billy laughed excitedly.

The red and blue figures are getting closer and closer.

Superman Returns.
