The White House, Office of the President, United States.
"I called Harley Quinn, what did I say?" Defense Minister Iron Leg Lao Peng asked nervously.
Abao Tesla lamented: "She refused."
"Refuse to house our families...or just one person?"
"This time she has no plans to send her family members to Paradise Mountain at all. Not to mention us, even Quinn Manor is the same as before." Mr. President said.
"This..." Iron-legged Lao Peng looked ugly, "She is so confident? But I received news from the Hall of Justice that she has not given a convincing plan yet."
Mr. President nodded, "I have been staring at the Hall of Justice and have heard about it, but Harley also has a reason.
The Time Demon stands at the end of time and stares at the entire river of time. If we discuss our plans against him, he will know about it."
"However, I still think it is safer to send my family to Tiantian Mountain." Iron-legged Lao Peng said.
"I think so too, but she doesn't think so." Mr. President said helplessly.
"You didn't persuade her?"
"Do you think I can persuade her?" Mr. President rolled his eyes at him, "Aren't you and her old friends? You go and persuade her."
Iron-legged old Peng laughed awkwardly and said: "We have a friendship, but back then I was stupid and helped some people target her..."
Mr. President's pupils contracted. Has this guy offended Harley? He doesn't know, otherwise why would he be chosen as the Secretary of Defense? Do you want to find an opportunity to get rid of him?
"Dong dong dong!" A knock on the door suddenly sounded outside, and then the secretary said: "Mr. President, Dr. Mist from the Shadow Bureau is looking for you."
"Invite him in." Mr. President said immediately.
"Mr. President, the rift of entropy has been annihilated for the 25th century, and it will probably enter the 'zero hour' tonight. Do you need security protection from the Shadow Bureau? Or do you have a better place to go?"
"Oh, let your Shadow Bureau make arrangements."
Although the Shadow Bureau is not as reliable as the Galaxy Admiral, it has finally made preparations for defense against Zero Hour.
"What's the Bureau of Shadows' plan?"
Doctor Mist's eyes flashed, "The new Shadow Bureau headquarters has been built."
"New headquarters? I don't know." The president asked doubtfully.
"The 'Ant Farm' built using Brainiac's 'World in a Bottle' technology is a three-inch sphere, just above the White House."
...
At 2:30 in the morning, the rift of entropy came to the 22nd century. The alarm sounded in the Hall of Justice. All the heroes came to the hall with serious expressions. Cyborg opened the sonic boom channel and sent everyone thousands of miles away to the Mojave Desert.
"Wow, so spectacular!"
When you step out of the sonic boom tunnel, what comes to you is not the dark night and yellow sand, but dazzling lights, roaring machines, and tall towers that reflect the golden light under the lights.
"They actually moved the cosmic tuning fork to Mojave. I thought it would be in Gotham." Green Arrow wondered.
"Gotham is densely populated and narrow, making it unsuitable for a battlefield."
Some dull sounds came from under Bateman's mecha mask.
Tonight, he also took out the best equipment in the box - the Bat Armor, which took two years to build using cutting-edge alien technology.
"But Gotham is close to the sea. The sea is vast and convenient for berthing ships. We have a group of alien allies."
"Driving the cosmic tuning fork requires a cosmic treadmill. The power of the cosmic treadmill is almost unlimited. If something goes wrong, the explosion will be more terrifying than a hydrogen bomb. It must not be close to a city." Bateman said seriously.
The heroes suddenly realized that in the last Crisis on Infinite Earths, Alexander Kent deliberately placed the treadmill in a desolate and empty canyon.
"Why not go to the Duffield Canyon last time?" Animal Man asked.
"There are lots of rocks there, which is not suitable for our formation."
Bateman said as he opened the Bat Watch and transmitted a piece of data to each hero.
"Open your watch dog system. The battle plan, respective locations and tasks are all on it.
Of course, the potential of superheroes is unpredictable, and the above tactics are just to try to ensure everyone's safety.
When you really face the demon of time, you can freely use it according to your own situation."
The superhero's comprehension ability is not bad, and the tactics and formations are relatively simple. Without much time wasted, nearly a hundred S-class heroes were in place, forming a defensive circle around the tuning fork.
Heroes below S level are in the inner ring of the defense circle, which is safer and allows them to move more freely.
The defensive circle isn't just about protecting the cosmic tuning fork.
When activated, the Cosmic Tuning Fork can open up a cosmic barrier and also protect the heroes within the circle.
When necessary, the defensive array can also be transformed into attack mode, with all superpowers outputting attacks to the same point.
When the superheroes were in place, one hundred and twenty sci-fi-style planetary battleships fell from the sky, suspended in mid-air, and arranged a second layer of defense formation outside the heroes.
"I saw the North Star Alliance logo." Firestorm said in surprise.
"The time crisis is not our planet's business." Bateman said calmly.
"I've never heard of it before."
"Alien allies have always had the idea of rebuilding the 'Earth 0 Universe Alliance', but Harley...the galactic admiral did not agree. Until today, each advanced civilization is allowed to arrange a battleship."
"There is strength in numbers, so why refuse?" Green Arrow asked in confusion.
"No matter how many technological weapons there are, it is useless. The 58th century and the 31st century have proved this. Too many interstellar forces gather on the earth, but it may allow the time demon to use large-scale attack tactics."
"Why not leave the earth and put the battlefield in outer space?" Animal Man said.
"The target of the time demon is the earth. Are we going to give up the earth?"
At this time, Cyborg's voice once again reached the earbuds of all the heroes: "The rift of entropy has entered the end of the 21st century, be careful. Barry, Jay, run!"
"Buzz buzz~~~~"
The Flash and the Cosmic Treadmill were both in the underground circular tunnel. Directly under the tuning fork, everyone only felt the gentle vibration of the desert beneath their feet. The tuning fork protected in the center lit up with colorful brilliance from bottom to top, and then...
.....
They saw the tuning fork begin to work, but did not directly feel its effect.
"Cyborg, are the tuning forks activated?" Green Arrow couldn't help but ask into the microphone.
"Of course, the effect is very good. Before, our universe was like an apple on a trampoline. Now the apple has been moved from the trampoline to the hard bed."
Green Arrow smiled and said: "Cyborg, believe me, if a man and a woman are lying on a hard bed, the apple will not necessarily be more stable than when placed on a trampoline."
"Hahaha..." The earbuds were filled with cheerful laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Bateman took a deep look at Green Arrow. He was the one who asked about the battle plan many times before. The more questions he asked, the more he thought about it. If he didn't have it, he would probably be able to complete the organizational work very well.
"Whoosh!" Red light flashed across the sky, and Tear Man appeared above the tuning fork.
"Crack-Boom!" Wonder Woman came riding lightning.
Green Lantern Kyle Rayner "carried" Aquaman and flew over.
Martian Manhunter was silent, and without anyone noticing, he was already floating next to several giants.
"The crack of entropy is accelerating by the middle of the 21st century!" Cyborg's prompt sounded again, "I want to start the countdown, zero hour is approaching, 10, 9, 8..."
"Where is Harley?" Green Arrow suddenly shouted.
"Shit, she's not here yet?" Firestorm exclaimed.
"I'm here, everyone, I'm sorry." Before he finished speaking, a black dot was born from nothingness, and quickly expanded into a hero in red and blue uniforms.
It's not Harley, it's the Atom.
"Wow, Atom, you're finally here!"
Everyone was more excited to see him than to see Harley. Since being given the gift of "reconstruction" by Dodo, the Atom has not appeared in public again.
He didn't even go home and didn't know where he was hiding.
"Atom, are you okay?" Bateman was careful when asking questions.
"I'm fine!" Atom Man calmly faced the glances that came over him and sighed: "Compared to Wally, I am very lucky. At least my lover will not cry, and my parents will avoid the pain of losing a child."
"Well, you can think about it, that's good." Bateman felt relieved.
"Where's Harley?" Green Arrow asked again.
"You don't know her yet? You must choose the most critical moment to appear in the most stunning manner." Bateman seemed to be smiling.
The other heroes whispered and complained that Harley was acting cowardly at this time. Green Arrow looked at Bateman thoughtfully.
——Haley can still afford to show off, which shows that she is really confident!
...
Genesis Star, the capital city "Super City".
In front of the ultra-dimensional observer, a group of new gods were also discussing the upcoming Zero Hour War.
"Heavenly Father, what do you think? Can the Justice League defeat the Time Demon?" Orion asked nervously.
Heavenly Father frowned, "Judging from Harley Quinn's performance, she is very confident, and I am relatively confident in her, but the strength of the Time Demon... He has already taken away all the Time Trappers."
strength.
The time-travelling one... is close to a supreme being.
At this time, the Time Demon has the energy of the Time Trap and the entire River of Time. How strong should he be?
Moreover, what the time demon swallows is not the ordinary river of time, but the mother river!
This has never happened since the creation of the multiverse.
Anyway, I don’t have the confidence to fight him in the River of Time.”
"So, you are still not very optimistic about the earth?" asked the craftsman god Heat.
"Without Harley Quinn, the earth would definitely not be able to withstand it. With her, the earth has at least a 30% chance of winning. Plus the ghost... Well, the ghost is not at odds with her. I guess she will let the ghost go first and consume
If you use the power of the Time Demon and use your trump card, the chance of success can be increased to 40%." Heavenly Father analyzed.
"Heavenly Father, you really think highly of the Witch Harley." Beca, the God of Love, said.
"Her achievements are there." Heavenly Father said.
"It's only a 40% chance of winning. She may not be able to survive this time." War God Ugo sneered.
...
Apokolips, New City of Pain.
The Desaad Research Institute is 5,000 meters underground, a black stone building built above the magma pool.
"Your Majesty, zero hour is approaching, would you like to arrange for a clone to come and watch?" the chief scientist of the Dark Lord said cautiously.
"The ending has been decided, it's just going through the motions."
Inside the black stone building, Darkseid's voice was ethereal, like a ghost, with an irresistible sense of decay and coldness, which sounded very permeable.
"What ending?" Disad asked in confusion.
"Restart! Crisis on Infinite Earths restarts the universe, restarts the river of time this time, restarts the multiverse next time, and next time... everything is arranged, we are like..."
Darkseid's tone became more gloomy and urgent, "I don't have to participate in this restart, but I must leave the cemetery before the next restart. No matter what, I can't miss the next restart."
Desaad listened in confusion, "Why is the River of Time destined to be restarted? What can I do to help you?"
Darkseid was silent for a while and said: "I need Witch Harley to be alive. You must be prepared. If she fails, she will send Doomsday to the river of time. Maybe it can give her a chance to escape."
"You mean, Witch Harley will die? She is Witch Harley." Desarde was shocked.
"Everything has been arranged, and the river of time will inevitably restart. No one can change it. She will definitely not be able to stop Zero Hour. I am not sure whether she is dead or alive."
"Since it must be restarted..." DeSaad hesitated: "Can Witch Harley take the lead in restarting like the last Crisis on Infinite Earths?"
"Hmph, do you think Time Demon is an idiot? He can't think of things that you can think of?"
Just when Desaad was about to speak, his face suddenly froze and he looked up at the sky, "Zero hour is here, time has completely disappeared."
