"You, are you the 'time demon' who swallows the river of time?"
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, the Waverider's expression changed drastically and he became fully alert.
"Time demon? I created the rift of entropy, and I controlled the rift of entropy to swallow the river of time. If you use time demon to describe the people who did these things, then I am the time demon.
However, I have my own name, you can call me ‘Cunmo’!”
Cunmo, extend, means 'existing', which corresponds to his behavior at this time sweeping the river of time through 'entropy', making everything cease to exist.
"Cunmo, are you deliberately following me to find the headquarters of the Time Guardian?" the Waverider said in a dry voice.
He didn't know how others felt, but the moment Cunmo appeared, he seemed to be in front of a black hole, and the power of time in his body wanted to escape into the opposite person's body uncontrollably.
"In terms of results, I have already found the 'vanishing point', but I need to find a reason for reaching the vanishing point to complete the causal cycle, so I will wait for you in the river of time, and then come with you." Cun Mo laughed out loud.
tooth.
His hood is very "performance art", his face is black, and his forehead, chin and head are red.
Dachao stared at him for a long time, but couldn't find any characteristics related to Hal Jordan.
Not only him, but also the heroes from the 21st century were looking at him carefully.
On the other hand, the Karate Kid, Sun Boy, and Brainiac 5 of the 31st century did not think about anything, but looked serious and alert.
"Is he Hal Jordan?" Metron looked at it for a while and asked directly.
Dachao couldn't be sure, so he could only look at Cunmo opposite and asked: "Hal, is it you?"
"Who?" Cunmo was stunned.
"Are you Hal Jordan?" Old Green Lantern asked.
"Hahaha, do you think I am Hal Jordan?" Cunmo laughed loudly with a sarcastic expression, "If I were Hal Jordan, do you plan to rely on old friendships to beg me for mercy?
You can try it, no matter whether I am Hal Jordan or not, I will get satisfaction and pleasure when I see you kneeling down and begging."
Dachao and several old heroes from the Justice Society looked at each other, and they all saw the same answer in each other's eyes: Even if this tone and attitude is not Hal Jordan, it must be someone who knows us, and is probably an acquaintance.
"Even if you are Hal, I will not beg. Because I firmly believe that justice is undefeated and hope will never fade."
Dachao's eyes were clear, his face full of determination, and he said solemnly: "I just don't want to miss any opportunity to help my friends.
If you had been my friend, I would be very sad and annoyed to see you like this.
I'm sad that you made such a choice, and I'm also upset that when you needed help, I didn't know anything and did nothing.
Be silent and take off your hood. No matter who you are, you don't need to hide yourself from us.
Just like us and you”
"Chirping, endless chatter, I'm here to chat with you and reminisce about old times?" Cunmo suddenly raised his hand and shot a beam of orange-red light waves at them.
"boom!"
The light wave quickly expanded after leaving his palm, and when it came in front of everyone, it was enough to envelope them all.
Da Super's dynamic vision and speed are both "superhuman level". He witnessed the rapid expansion of the speed of light and instinctively jumped out of the range of light waves.
Metron sat down on the Möbius Chair and promptly opened a light-colored protective shield surrounding himself.
The Waverider also counterattacked subconsciously, stretching his hands forward and shooting out two beams of golden light waves from the palms of his hands, blocking Cunmo's attack and also protecting several legion heroes behind him.
But the remaining people had nowhere to escape.
"Ahhhh~" The 65-year-old Shi Xia seemed to be made up of countless gray and black shadows. Orange light waves washed over him, taking away one layer after another of black shadows similar to him.
Like him, the other old men were howling miserably, and strange changes had taken place on their bodies.
"Stab!" Dachao shot a thermonuclear ray towards Cunmo.
Cunmo's action of emitting light waves was interrupted, he raised his right hand and waved towards Dachao Xuxu.
"Buzz~" An illusory ground composed of green light appeared above Dachao's head.
Although the ground is illusory, it also has gravity and "space attributes". It originally existed in a "void" without the concept of time and space, but now there is space.
Da Chao immediately lost control of his body and fell into that space forcefully.
In the eyes of others, he was still so far away from Cunmo, only about twenty meters, but in Dachao's own perception, it was like a space transfer, coming to another world.
"Hahaha, so what if I tear Man apart? In the place where time disappears, I am God who controls time. The laws are shaped according to my will, but I am above any laws."
Cunmo waved his hands one after another, creating one "dimension world of time" after another. Following Da Chao, the old heroes of the Justice Association and the 'young' heroes of the 31st century were all separated and imprisoned, at a loss.
"We are no match for him, prepare to retreat! You block Cun Mo first, and I will go rescue him."
Metron looked solemn, shouted to the Wave Treader, and jumped into the "time dimension" of Dachao in the next moment.
The next moment, he had jumped out with a confused look on his face.
It's like teleportation, it happens between thoughts, the process is extremely fast
At this moment.
"Harry, the advance team is back."
As soon as he returned to the 21st century, Dachao immediately dialed the phone number of Quinn Manor, even though it was already midnight.
"So fast?" Harley was a little surprised. Metron came to see the Justice League in the afternoon, and the advance team set off in the evening. It was not yet two o'clock in the morning.
"Soon?" Dachao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dazed look: "In the 31st century alone, we stayed for nearly two days.
In the river of time, time flows at different speeds, and the 31st century seems to be several times faster than our 21st century."
"What did you find?" Harley asked again.
Dachao's voice was deep and filled with obvious grief, "The situation is very bad. We encountered Cunmo and suffered heavy casualties."
"Are there any casualties? Who is Cunmo?"
"Come here quickly, it's hard to explain clearly on the phone." Dachao sighed.
When Harley rode Yebby to the Hall of Justice, the Big Eight of the Zhenglian Alliance were almost there, except for Aquaman.
"My dear, my disciple, why have you become like this?"
In addition to the giants of Zhenglian, there are also several visitors from different time and space, including her martial arts apprentice Karate Kid.
"Are you a 'karate uncle' now?"
A few years ago, he was a fresh kid in high school, and now he has become a muscular "little plum with a water gun".
The changes are too big.
After hearing her yelling, the karate boy's beard and face turned slightly dark.
"The Legion of Super Heroes can only be called 'boy', 'boy', 'girl', and 'girl'.
As long as my heart remains unchanged and my faith is eternal, I will still be the same boy even if I am seventy or eighty years old."
After Harley greeted her old friends from the legion, Dachao introduced the Wanderer in public.
"You are the 'Guardian of Time' and Rip Hunter is the 'Lord of Time'. There are differences between your organizations. What is the difference? Where is Rip Hunter now?" Harley asked curiously.
The Wave Treader looked at her deeply and said, "There is no essential difference, just like the Justice League and the Justice Society are both superheroes.
The purpose of both us and the Lord of Time is to protect the river of time.
However, the guardian stays at the 'vanishing point', and his mission is to ensure that the entire river of time is stable and smooth.
The Lord of Time pays more attention to the maintenance of history and keeping history from being modified.
Therefore, the Lord of Time needs to travel back to the past frequently.
But in the past few years, traveling into the past has become an extremely dangerous thing. Rip Hunter had an accident after approaching the 21st century and is now recuperating in the Council of Time Lords."
Dachao asked: "Harley, are you maintaining the timeline of this universe? Not only the time guardian, but also the time bubble of the 31st century cannot enter the 21st century."
Harry frowned and said: "If the time traveler only travels in the river of time and does not change reality and history, it will naturally not affect me."
The Waverider nodded, "Yes, there is no danger in observing the 21st century. Only when you try to enter the interior, you will encounter a heavy blow like a hammer."
Brainiac 5 also said: “Our time bubble was also broken. Fortunately, during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Harley allowed us to invent the ‘heavy-duty time bubble’ with multi-layered bubble walls.
After destroying the outer layer, there are still two inner layers, so we can retreat safely."
Harley said calmly: "I awakened the talent of 'maintaining my own timeline' from the power of Manhattan, and my sense of time is often touched.
It was like squatting in the grass by the river in cool clothes on a summer night, with a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing around me, making me unbearable.
I can't tell which mosquitoes want to suck my blood, which ones want to spread the virus to me, and which ones are just visiting, so I can only use an electric mosquito swatter to kill them."
"Isn't that too overbearing?" Waverider frowned.
"You are too busy to enter the 21st century and enter 'my history' for what purpose? Entering the 'present', you will definitely change my future, and going back to the 'past' will also definitely affect my present."
Of course I can't let you mess around.
If you think this kind of behavior of protecting your own rights is overbearing, then be overbearing." Harley said indifferently.
"We are the guardians of time." Wanderer emphasized.
There was clear disdain in Harry's eyes, "You can't even withstand a mere 'electric mosquito swatter', but you are still the guardian of time."
The Waverider's golden cheeks turned yellow.
"Ahem, Harley, maybe you are too powerful." Da Chao first calmed down the atmosphere and then asked: "Forget it if you protect your own timeline, why do you even interfere with the history of tens of thousands of years ago?"
Harley shook her head and said: "As long as the history from my birth to the present is not changed, it will not trigger my aggressive counterattack."
"But if the guardian of time goes back to 50,000 years ago, he will also encounter danger." Da Chao said.
"Alas, the water in the river of time is too deep and they can't control it." Harley sighed.
"We can't control it?" The Waverider looked unhappy and said with a slightly excited tone: "Our mission to protect the River of Time comes from the Lord of Time!
For us, there is no 'deep water' in the river of time that we cannot control. You are the only one who is special and has God's backing."
Harley smiled and said: "Don't forget, Dr. Manhattan is also across time. I only got a glimpse of his power, so I used an electric mosquito swatter to make you dizzy.
That one is stronger than me and more ruthless than me."
"Dr. Manhattan?" The Treader stood there, thoughtfully.
Harley asked again: "Is the 'time master' you call the eldest father of the Endless family?"
