American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

A nation was built on the ruins.

The crowd cheered, their eyes filled with blind madness.

The flower of freedom has withered long ago, but people don't care, because what they see in their eyes is hope, the future, and the peace they dream of.

Raven walked under the blood-red sky, and she saw the steel statue erected on the pile of skeletons. Darkseid's arrogant and cold eyes overlooked the entire world, and his shadow shrouded all life.

In this dark square, in the center of the crowd, a middle-aged man with black hair in a blue suit was talking enthusiastically in front of the podium. He was praising the great victory and the most unprecedented unity of the universe. , he praised unprecedented peace.

There is also the only god, the only foundation of thought and belief.

Darkseid is always here!

Raven's head was buzzing, and she was horrified by the extremely powerful evil will of the crazy future she saw before her eyes.

There is no hope here, there is nothing here.

The entire creation is just an empty shell, with the walking dead lingering inside. In a sense, hell is heaven compared to this future.

"This is all a lie! This is an illusion you created! This will never become a reality!" Raven glared at Sangong's back and shouted, "This is impossible... This is all your trick to confuse me! "

Sangong walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back. There was endless emptiness under his feet, but he still strolled leisurely, as if time was stepping on his feet and they were moving towards the future.

A scary future.

"We are still in your consciousness, my daughter." Sannomiya looked sideways for a moment, his sinister smile appeared on the transformed human face, and the four scarlet eyes flickered, "It's not me now. Taking you with me, I am just a guide, and what really allows us to touch the future is your soul. You have such power because I gave you such power."

Raven frowned, and she looked down again in confusion and fear. She saw that there were still some disharmonious lives among the ruins. They seem not to be affected by the Anti-Life Equation, nor have they been swallowed up by the Fifth World, but they can only survive in this terrible new world.

But they are still hope, an unquenchable fire.

"I know what you are thinking. You can help them, you can touch the future, and then see the results of your efforts." Sangong came to Raven's side quietly, and he paused for a moment. Putting his head to the raven's pale profile, he smiled cruelly, "You can prove me wrong, you can prove that those mortals are still worth saving."

The raven was silent for a moment, her eyes flashing faintly, and she finally bit her lip and dodged down. The raven was like a black afterimage. She landed gently in front of the three survivors like a ghost, but the three survivors could not see her.

It was a woman and two teenagers. The woman had short blond hair. She was wearing an eyepatch. Her left eye seemed to be blind. Her face was dirty. There was a scar on the left face that seemed to have healed not long ago. The scar There are some barcode-like traces left on the edges. Obviously, that is the special tattoo mark that Darkseid made by recoding all humans and implanting special chips.

Not only this woman, but the two teenagers also have such scars on their faces. They all removed the chips, escaping Darkseid's army. But this is not the reason why they can ignore the anti-life equation. That voice cannot be eradicated at all. It is an unsolvable virus that already exists in life. Darkseid just activated it.

Few, save the gods, can resist the Anti-Life Equation.

Raven quickly gasped as she saw the golden rope hanging from the belt around the short haired woman's waist, it belonged to Wonder Woman, it was the Lasso of Truth.

"Diana..." Raven whispered the woman's name.

Diana suddenly turned around, her dark one eye turned a few times alertly, but she did not see the raven. She quickly made a gesture and directed the two teenagers to follow her into the tunnel under the ruins. and disappeared into the darkness.

Raven gained some energy because she believed that if Wonder Woman was still alive, then Supergirl or other members of the Justice League might still be alive.

As long as these superheroes are still there, there is hope for the whole world.

Raven raised her head, and she looked provocatively at Sangong, who was looking down at her with a smile on his hands in the air.

Soon, the smile that just appeared on Raven's face disappeared.

Because three superwomen flew over the ruins, and then more superwomen rushed into the distance in groups. Their eyes all shone with a dangerous and terrifying scarlet light, and their mouths kept shouting Darkseid's name.

At this moment, several gaps opened in the blood-red sky above the Third Palace. The raven's eyes immediately reflected the blazing light of the sonic blast channel, and the huge red skull slowly reorganized and emerged from the sonic blast channel.

And the raven immediately recognized who the huge skull belonged to.

Martian Manhunter.

He was now a half-machine, half-planet horrifying monster, with scorching lava gushing from his huge, moon-like red eyes.

Around Martian Manhunter's head, countless mother boxes rotated like satellites, while the new gods of Apokolips appeared one after another.

They even grew blood-red wings, like a different kind of angel.

The raven returned to the sky involuntarily. She heard the deafening shouts. She looked towards the square and saw humans pouring out of the ruins of the city. They were crawling on the ground, like ants, toward the huge Martian Manhunter. Their heads were close together, and they all shouted Darkseid's name and worshiped the new gods.

At this moment, Raven saw clearly the images of the new gods hidden in the red light.

They are all Darkseid, and without exception, all the New Gods wear the gray stone helmet.

When Raven lowered her head again, she noticed that the humans on the ground had also begun to straighten up, all with their heads tilted back and holding Darkseid's helmet in their hands.

"No..." Raven's eyes widened.

Darkseid is always here! Darkseid is always here!

The endless sound seemed to be the only existence in the entire world.

Raven had to cover her ears, she even screamed in pain, and her eyes began to flash an ominous red light. But she did not look away. In her blurred vision, she could still see all the humans raising their helmets in admiration. Their faces became cracked, and they continued to shout until they solemnly Put the helmet on your head.

Darkseid is always here! Darkseid is always here!

All human beings began to change. They stood up and looked up at the sky. They seemed to be looking up at themselves.

And those supermen also began to surround the Martian Manhunter's head one after another, and they also put on Darkseid's helmet.

The earth shook.

Only then did Raven remember Diana and the two teenage survivors. She gritted her teeth and dived down. She ducked under the surface in full view of everyone. She searched for the survivors along the tunnel, but there were only Rotting corpses and dead bones buried in the soil.

Under the mud and sand, Raven opened her arms to draw strength. She temporarily stabilized the underground space, but she fought with her brothers for a long time. She was very weak and incomplete. After all, her real power came from the blood of the Three Palaces. That part of the sin.

The raven turned around subconsciously, and she saw San Gong following him hauntingly. He was still smiling, admiring the raven's helpless expression with a relaxed expression.

Raven gritted her teeth and continued to search for traces of survivors. She finally found a passage leading to the surface. She finally relaxed. She felt that Diana and the two teenagers should have escaped from the underground world. They were still alive. There is a refuge.

Hope is still there.

The raven turned into a shadow and crossed the surface. She stood in a building, looking around the dim space anxiously.

Smoke and dust fill the air here, and occasionally you can see flashes of red light.

That's an ominous color in this scary future.

Immediately afterwards, screams and cries began, as well as several gunshots.

Raven became frightened again and rushed into the smoke, frantically searching for traces of life. However, what came into view were smoking dead people, fragmented corpses, and horrific bloodstains.

A Superwoman wearing Darkseid's helmet appeared outside the broken door frame, holding a man's head in her hands.

"No!" Raven raised her hand instinctively, the rage in her heart arousing her power, and her flash of murderous thoughts exploded Supergirl's head.

Sannomiya laughed.

Raven continued to follow the sound, and she saw more corpses. She even found the corpses of the two teenagers hugging each other.

"No!!" The raven screamed angrily, and the cry was like a crow's neighing. Her shadow expanded several times in an instant, and with the fluttering cloak, she seemed to begin to cover the entire building.

A sound of fighting attracted Raven's attention, and she immediately walked over. This time, she did not turn into black mist, she just walked so firmly and angrily, another pair of scarlet eyes opened from her forehead, her chakra stone shone with a more dazzling red light, and she was pale The young hands were surrounded by black energy.

Wall after wall turned into dust in front of Raven's eyes, and she just moved forward until she reached the battlefield.

Diana has lost an arm, but she still fights with three superwomen. However, Diana had lost too much blood, and there was still a section of steel rod stuck in her belly. When the gods fell, she was no longer invincible. She was just a mortal, a warrior who was still fighting.

"Stop!" Raven's voice was like the screams of countless ghosts, and just one word made the two superwomen's bodies burn.

The last Supergirl immediately stepped back. She searched for signs of the enemy, but she could not see the raven.

Diana was kneeling on one knee. She supported her broken body with the broken sword in her hand. She was equally weak and wanted to find the person who saved her, but she couldn't see the raven either.

"Is this what you want? Is this the hope you protect?" Sannomiya asked quietly with his hands behind Raven's back, "A dying person?"

"Shut up!" Raven roared back.

The storm-like scream made San Gong's human body burn, but San Gong didn't pay attention. Half of his broken face still wore a sinister smile that showed he had a chance to win.

"I'm so happy that she's starting to look a little like my daughter, Raven!" Sannomiya chuckled.

Raven turned her head abruptly. She clenched her fist and walked towards Supergirl. She raised a finger and with a slight move, she broke Supergirl's neck.

"Diana..." Raven's expression softened slightly. She looked down at the dying Diana and called Wonder Woman's name in a sad and soft voice.

Diana seemed to hear the call of the raven. She struggled to raise her head again, but she still didn't see the raven. She spit out a mouthful of blood, and then said in a weak and trembling voice, "Raven, is that you?"

"It's me, I will save you." Raven slowly squatted down and held Diana's face with her hands. She began to draw her own energy. She could save Diana, let her wounds heal, and let She lives.

"No... don't do this, Raven." Diana shook her head and tried to avoid Raven's touch. She finally fell to the ground out of strength. She gasped for breath, and her abdomen was penetrated by steel bars. No more blood was even shed.

Raven is at a loss, shocked that Diana refuses her help.

"There is no hope, there are no survivors..." Diana stared blankly at the red sky beyond the hole above with one eye, "I am the last one, let me die, just leave peacefully, let death sweep me away. Take it away, this is my only wish.”

Raven was stunned. She finally realized that she still couldn't save anyone. She came too late.

Raven murmured to herself at a loss, "I'm still here, Diana! We can work together! We can defeat Darkseid and lift the anti-life equation's control over mankind. We can..."

Diana smiled miserably, "Maybe this is all my imagination, because you are already dead, Raven. I persisted for too long, and I witnessed the destruction of all hopes. I watched you defeat the Three Palaces, but we also Losing the power to fight Darkseid, you became mortal and were crushed by the New Gods after giving me your last remaining magical energy. Your gift to me became a curse, and you allowed me to see more. Death, I saw more people walking into darkness in front of me, but I could do nothing. Maybe I should have died a long time ago, maybe...I shouldn't have had hope from the beginning...We should accept it, we should..."

Diana's mouth stopped, and her one eye stopped flickering.

Raven knelt feebly among the ruins, her eyes dimmed, and she looked at Diana's lonely body heartbroken.

"This is just a future, my daughter." Sangong's cold and evil voice appeared in Raven's ears again.

"We are not ordinary people, we transcend time. I have told you this truth a long time ago, and now, you see with your own eyes the possibility of this choice." Sangong leaned down, half of his face gradually changing in the burning ashes, His original scarlet and hateful demonic face slowly appeared, "But we can still turn things around! You have such power! You can save the entire universe! I will not force you, my daughter! Everything... depends on yourself. s Choice!"

Raven slowly straightened up and raised her head. She gradually turned her head and looked at Sangong's terrifying face with devil horns with four blood-red eyes.

She also looked at the red claws with sharp nails extended by Sannomiya.

"You will be my pride, Raven..." Sannomiya grinned, and the ruins under his feet began to collapse and fly away, gradually turning into black dust, until the whole world was dissipated in a misty storm.
