American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 595 Everyone Gathers
Fighting Steppenwolf and the demon-like army is not the most troublesome thing. The troublesome thing is dealing with all kinds of mess after the battle.

When it comes to fighting, you don't need to think too much at all. You only need to think about how to kill the enemy in front of you.

But after the war ended, all kinds of troubles appeared.

The fighting on the outskirts of Wayne Manor could be heard throughout Gotham City, and even some nearby building windows were shattered.

It is impossible to hide this matter, but fortunately, the previous press conference gave a good step and blocked the mouths of many interested people.

Previously, under the instruction of Batman, Time Man held a press conference on behalf of the Justice Society regarding the destruction of the Mother Box. At that time, he revealed that some alien beings were eyeing the earth and trying to occupy it. .

It was originally just an unintentional move to lure Steppenwolf into a trap, but unexpectedly it actually helped them a lot.

With this press conference, Congress can no longer cause trouble with the Justice Society. Even some people who are interested in Apokolips technology have no reason to get close to here.

Although some members still hope to use political means to put pressure on the Justice Society and force some of Apokolips' weapons into their own or the military's hands, this is just an idea and it is too difficult to implement.

After all, the whole world owed the Justice Society a favor this time.

Although I don’t know the ins and outs of the entire war, I still remember clearly what happened before when Steppenwolf led the demons to blow up the Star Laboratory. If it weren’t for the Justice Society, I’m afraid things would have become even more troublesome.

Fortunately, now the enemy has been eliminated and people continue to go about their lives.

No one knew that at this time, the heroes of the Justice Society were gathering in the living room of Wayne Castle, with sad faces and a solemn atmosphere.

"It turns out that Bruce has already thought of this step. A press conference solves our two problems and kills two birds with one stone." Shazam Billy, who had turned back into a child, sighed faintly.

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as old Bruce Wayne was mentioned, the atmosphere around them became gloomy again.

After a while, it was Wildcat who broke the silence first. "Is Bruce okay?"

Wildcat also suffered a loss in this battle. His left arm was sprained and his back was scratched by a laser. Now that he took off his uniform, his body was covered with gauze.

"When we helped Bruce remove the steel suit, the blood inside had been frozen. He was seriously injured. If he hadn't been treated in time, I'm afraid..."

After answering, the Midnight Miracle Doctor also let out a long sigh, with a sad look on his face.

As a doctor, no one understands Bruce's injuries better than him. It would be fine if he was a young adult, but Bruce is too old and his body is almost unable to bear it.

"The previous treatment equipment was used by Red Robin. The backup one in the Batcave is an almost obsolete version. Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Stark, he not only stabilized the injury with magic, but also modified the equipment."

Tony Stark in the corner of the living room raised his glass but said nothing.

The atmosphere was still dull, and Shi Xia turned to look at the Midnight Doctor.

"I heard that he will never stand up again?"

"Yeah" without hiding it, the Midnight Doctor lowered his head.

In fact, it is not difficult to get old Bruce Wayne back on his feet, at least not for Tony Stark. All he needs to do is install a few auxiliary machines on him, or directly build a mecha.

If it doesn't work, it's not impossible to use black magic. With Tony Stark's current strength, it can be done.

But he didn't take the initiative to speak.

It's not that Tony Stark doesn't want to help them, it's just that he personally feels that rather than letting the old Bruce Wayne stand up again, it would be better to leave him paralyzed like this.

Although he has never met the old Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark has made a lot of preparations. Judging from the description in the information, it is impossible for this Bruce Wayne to live idle.

If the world is in danger, no matter how old he is, he will turn on that damn signal light until he dies in battle.

So instead of letting him rush to the battlefield and die, it would be better to take a rest in another way.

"The situation is now stable, but Bruce is still in a coma. No one knows whether he can wake up." The Midnight Doctor said in a deep voice.

"Gotham can't live without Batman." At this time, Tim, who had been silent, suddenly said.

He has woken up now, but he is still unable to walk normally. The injury he suffered before was too serious, and he will not be able to recover in a short time.

Previously, because he was worried that the battle would affect Tim, the old Bruce Wayne had him taken to the place where Dr. Silas lived. But now that the war is over and Tim wakes up, he immediately returns here.

"Don't worry Tim, I will handle Gotham's affairs during this time." Robin said seriously, stroking Tim's palms with both hands.

"But."

"Don't worry, Tula and Victor will also help me." Robin forced a smile, then turned to look at the water-walking girl Tula and Cyborg Victor.

Originally, Cyborg didn't want to join the heroic organization, let alone the Teen Titans, but after experiencing this incident, he discovered that the earth is not safe, and he also has things he must do. Under the guidance of his father, Dr. Silas, Cyborg finally agreed to join the Teen Titans and followed Robin to Wayne Manor.

"The most important thing now is not Gotham City, but the whole world." Shi Xia spoke up and said seriously. "The enemy's palms have reached above our heads. If we don't find a way, the earth will be doomed."

"Yes, that Steppenwolf once said that there is a secret on the earth, and this secret should be the main reason that attracted Darkseid to come." Black Adam said solemnly.

"Secret, what secret?" Green Lantern asked with some confusion.

He has been away from the earth for a while and does not know what happened on the earth. He is even curious about whether some treasure was born on the earth during the time he left.

But everyone present shook their heads.

"There is no secret. If there really is anything, with the intelligence of our Justice Association, it's impossible not to know anything." Wildcat couldn't help but say.

"Could Steppenwolf be referring to the Mother Box?" Cyborg asked.

As soon as this was said, Hippolyta denied it.

"Impossible. This Mother Box was originally a product of Apokolips. Back then, the old gods united the power of the entire earth to fight against Apokolips. The Mother Box is our trophy. Steppenwolf is talking about the secret of the earth, so it must be a product of the earth. That’s right.”

Hippolyta also told everyone present about the great war. After hearing this ancient anecdote, everyone discovered that Apokolips and the Earth were actually 'old enemies'.

"That's what I think. We don't need to think about the secret of the earth for now. After all, we won't be able to figure it out for a while. I think the most important thing we should do now is to unite more forces."

Shi Xia looked around and continued.

"The enemy is getting closer and closer to us. No one knows when they will take action. If we are not prepared in advance, I am afraid that what happened on Paradise Island and Atlantis will happen again."

"You're right." Hippolyta nodded. As a person who has experienced it personally, she can still understand the power of the enemy.

The powerful Steppenwolf and the weird sonic blast channel can destroy any country at will as long as the other party is willing.

"I have decided that the Mother Box of Paradise Island will be kept in the Justice Society." Hippolyta said. "I will also stay and fight side by side with you humans."

"And me." Tula also spoke.

After Dr. Destiny's magical treatment and this period of recovery, Tula slowly recovered her memory, she said softly.

“Steppenwolf killed the king of Atlantis, and now all the tribes in the ocean are in chaos, but they also understand the seriousness of the problem.

Now, the former Queen of Atlantis, Her Majesty Atanna, has returned to the throne. She has contacted me and is determined to stand with humanity to deal with Darkseid's army. "

"Great, this way, everyone is united again." Barry Allen said with a smile.

At this time, Shi Xia slowly shook his head. "not enough."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Xia.

Shi Xia raised his head and looked at Pietro, who had been silent and seemed to have been distracted.

After a pause, Shi Xia stared at Pietro and spoke softly.

"Mr. Pietro, I know that you came to help us just for Bruce's sake, but I hope that you guys can help us again and help us get through this crisis."

"Rex" the wildcat opened his mouth to say something.

But he was immediately interrupted by Shi Xia raising his hand. Shi Xia looked at Pietro and spoke word by word.

“Believe me, I wouldn’t have said this if I wasn’t desperate.

We have lost Bruce, no one knows when he will wake up, and Apokolips is not something we can resist. This is not a time to be angry or to save face.

As the captain of the Justice Society, I must be responsible for my world, and I must be responsible for the safety of people all over the world.

I don’t want to destroy my ambition and increase the prestige of others, but the fact is that we people are probably no match for Darkseid, so.
I don’t want to delve into how you came here from other universes, and I don’t care whether you will have an impact on this universe. That is something politicians and the military will consider.

I just hope that we can be friends, comrades, and trust each other like Bruce does.

I know my request is excessive. This is not your battle, and you have no obligation to help us fight, but what I want to say is, as long as you can help us.

From now on, the Justice Society will be your eternal ally! "
