[Western Crossover] Yesterday's Sea of Stars

Continues from One Crush a Day, I Can Cheat Without a Care by author Dayi Yi Qiang Tou. [Western Crossover] The Galaxy Falls Silent, Chapter One

Rong Qi once again lived in a world without superheroes. The brilliant streak of red and gold no longer crossed the sky. The soldier with the impossibly fast running speed was gone from beside the pool, and the chatty little spider was nowhere to be seen between the skyscrapers...

Gotham had only a green-haired madman left. Central City had lost its red lightning. Metropolis had lost its god...

Many years later, the New York Tower was still busy with people coming and going, but there would never be another Stark. Wayne's name no longer appeared in the headlines of Gotham's newspapers. People only learned from the elderly that there had once been a magnificent old family. Nobody in Metropolis spoke of Superman anymore. Only a single white flower, replaced every day by Luthor, remained in a corner of the plaza...

Rong Qi spent every day struggling to make ends meet, having long since forgotten the wish she'd made as a girl. Then one day, while clearing out junk at home, she found a stack of yellowing newspapers. She had collected them when she first arrived in this world. On the pages, the superheroes were smiling, as gently as ever...

In an instant, she was overcome with tears.
