Chapter 698 Epilogue

A month later.

HISHE.

"stop!"

Kara flew around the house, from one room to another, while Strych ran frantically ahead, clutching his head.

"Okay, okay, calm down."

An old wizard wearing an apron came out to smooth things over.

"We're all family, what can't we talk things out and resolve? Tell me, what happened?"

Kara pointed angrily at Strickland: "It! It peed in my laundry basket again!"

Strych raised his paw: "Meow meow meow!"

It seems to indicate that they are raising their claws to prove their innocence.

"You still dare to try and argue—"

Strickland turned and ran again, Kara leaping after him. A tumultuous storm erupted in the small café.

"Speaking of which, Kara, you're back already? Didn't you say you were going to check on the ship?"

Suddenly, the Flash appeared out of nowhere and interrupted the conversation.

"Oh." Kara paused briefly. "It's just a routine patrol. You know, regularly checking on the residents' mental state."

For example, anti-surveillance agents.

Yes, the counter-surveillance agents are still alive.

This is what Shen You told them. The Anti-Monitor is immortal no matter what. Even if it's crushed to dust and its consciousness energy is destroyed, it's just a matter of recharging. Sooner or later, it will regenerate; it's just a matter of time.

Therefore, rather than letting anti-monitoring forces suddenly resurface from some unknown corner, it's better to keep them in a visible place.

Take, for example, Shen You's increasingly developed subspace prison.

"."

Inside the cell, the former prisoner, who had been reduced to a mere consciousness after being blasted down, was bound in his private cage and muttered to himself in a gloomy tone.

"Just wait. I am the Anti-Monitor, the Destroyer of the Multiverse. All you have done is delay what is inevitable. One day I will rise, I will emerge from here, and I will let you all know."

Before he could finish speaking, someone next to him said impatiently.

"Hey, you're new here, right? Keep quiet and stop messing around."

That's the Black Death Emperor from the black lamp battery.

The anti-surveillance activist glared angrily: "I am the anti-surveillance activist! Not one of you small fry! One day..."

"We're going to go out and destroy everything, exterminate all things, blah blah blah. Yeah, we understand." The Black Death Emperor nodded. "When we first arrived, everyone thought they were different. But in the end, we found that we were all the same."

And actually, once you get used to it, you'll find that this place isn't so bad; it's quite comfortable.

Anti-surveillance: "."

"."

"So even the Black Death Emperor has become a model prisoner?"

Hal found this unbelievable.

"How did you do that? Did you brainwash him using the Life Equation or something?"

"Who knows?" Barry shrugged. "I guess someone just has a knack for creating miracles."

Superman and Batman sat facing each other across a coffee table. Batman squinted at Superman, while Superman leaned back in his chair, scrolling through his phone.

"You've been using too much," Batman suddenly said.

"Excuse me, what?"

"Cellphone," Batman said in a deep voice, making him sound like a parent restricting their child's access to electronic devices. "You'll go stupid if you're always staring at that."

"Huh? You're kidding?"

Superman chuckled and waved his smartphone.

"Everyone uses a mobile phone these days, I'm just trying to keep up with the trend. Besides, it's convenient and smart. Look, I said 'Hi Siri' to her, and she even answered my questions."

Batman, expressionless, said, "As if this is smarter than the AI ​​in your Lonely Fortress."

"This is something humans achieved through their own efforts, something created with their own hands. It's different." Superman shook his head. "By the way, don't you even use a cell phone?"

"I have a Bat phone."

Batman calmly pulled a black, military-style cell phone from his belt, which was marked with a bat symbol.

"It's better, faster, and has a private satellite that can answer any of my questions."

Superman stared at his phone for two seconds.

"Or, maybe when you ask it a question, the person answering you is actually Alfred," Superman said seriously. "And Alfred might actually be asking Siri."

No, that's not it.

"Maybe that's how it is."

"Absolutely not."

"It's hard to say."

"."

Batman and Superman stared at each other for a few seconds, then fell into their usual cold war.

Just then, Shazam the Thunder flew in, carrying a box of pizza: "Anyone want some pizza?"

"Me!" "I want one too!"

A moment later, the alliance members gathered in the cafe and happily ate pizza.

"You know," Shazam said with a grin, his mouth full of pizza, "that crisis? That guy called... Anti-monitoring...it feels like it was just yesterday."

I still sometimes dream about the end of the world.

This is all thanks to him, isn't it? Can you imagine what our world might have become if he hadn't happened to be there?

He covered his mouth as he said this, realizing that everyone in the room had stopped what they were doing and fallen into an eerie silence, all staring at him.

"Did I just mention something I shouldn't have?"

"."

No one spoke for a moment.

All eyes were immediately drawn to Kara. The girl was facing the window, gazing absently at the bright, sunny sky, her golden hair fluttering gently in the breeze.

After a few seconds of silence, Superman stood up, walked behind her, and gently patted her shoulder.

"Kara."

"It's fine."

Kara turned around and smiled at everyone.

"He just went back to where he belonged. And we all have to grow up sooner or later."

No matter what happened, I always kept one thought in my mind—anyway, Mr. Shen was there.

Because he was there, I never had to worry.

This can't go on forever; it's time for me to grow up.

She and her cousin exchanged a glance, then looked at the entire room of Alliance members, noticing the approving and smiling expressions on everyone's faces.

"It's okay, we'll meet again someday."

She smiled easily, her golden hair flying up as if blending into the sunlight streaming in through the window.

"Someday."

"At that time, I will hold my head high and proudly tell him."

"The future he entrusted to us, we have grasped with our own hands."

"."

However, at the same time that Kara made this declaration.

A voice came from behind her: "Well, if there's anything you want to say, you don't have to wait until the future. You can tell me right now."

Kara: "!?"

The girl was so startled she almost flew away. She turned her head sharply and was shocked to see Shen You standing behind her.

"Mr. Shen!"

She was both surprised and delighted.

"Didn't you go home? How come you're here so fast?"

"Yes, we went back."

Shen You nodded.

"But that doesn't stop me from coming back to visit in a couple of days, does it? It's not that far."

"Besides, I was actually over there while I was talking to you. You haven't forgotten, have you? I can be in two places at the same time, right?"

Kara opened her mouth, but hesitated, as if she had a lot of grumble stuck in her throat and couldn't spit it out.

"So, you said you were going to tell me what your future held?"

Kara: "."

After a few seconds of hesitation, she finally managed to speak.

"You came back too quickly; there wasn't enough time for us to seize the opportunity."

Shen You chuckled: "Then how about I head back first, to give you some room to grow? We can contact each other again when you've grasped the opportunity."

"don't want!"

Kara suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly, as if afraid that he would run away again if she let go.

Shen You smiled and said, "Not growing anymore?"

Kara shook her head frantically.

Then she looked up and cautiously asked, "So... you're not leaving for now?"

"Yes, we'll stay for now. After all..."

Shen You smiled and said.

"I also have a coffee shop to take care of."
