Chapter 545 The One Who Shakes the Dark Multiverse Awakens
Chapter 545 The One Who Shakes the Dark Multiverse...Awakening
"What happened?"
The killing machine forcefully pulled the mechanical tentacle from its hand, and in front of it, an Amozzo robot collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
He turned his head and saw an orange-lit ghost appear in front of him.
Killing Machine recognizes this guy; he's Despair Demon. In his universe, the Justice League defeated him, with Cyborg Victor Stone playing a crucial role. This battle was one of the key events that cemented Cyborg's place as one of the Seven Greats of the Justice League.
However, in this universe, Despair Demon somehow became one of the many orange-lantern ghosts controlled by Night Owl.
But it didn't work.
The killing machine thought.
"What can I do for you?"
Beside the Orange Lamp Despair Demon, an illusion of Alfred appeared.
Despair Demon threw a punch at the phantom powerful enough to send Superman flying, but only hit air.
The phantom of Alfred kept repeating, "What can I do for you?"
The orange-lit demon screamed in despair, but he was quickly torn in half by the phantom of Alfred.
"What can I do for you?" the phantom of Alfred asked.
See how perfect it is? As long as he rings the bell, his father-like Alfred will help him destroy all dangers.
The Alfred Program "fixed" the Killing Machine's ability to feel fear and sadness. The things Alfred hated most in life were fear and sadness, and the Killing Machine will never feel them again.
He was well protected by Alfred, who was like a father to him. They were never separated.
The killing machine turned its head to look outside the push tower.
The massive Orange Lantern Galaxy Golem is locked in a fierce battle with a gigantic Alfred, who is several sizes smaller than him.
These Alfreds were created by the killing machine, incorporating the most advanced technology in their universe, and forever carrying the heart and soul of that man who deeply loved Bruce.
"Why rebel, Thomas, my brother?"
The killing machine raised its head, knowing that Night Owl must be watching it from somewhere.
"Your world is so broken because of those intact worlds. No matter what you do, it won't lead to anything good. But you can still join us in taking revenge on the culprits who caused all this, the righteous universes."
As the killing machine spoke, it seemed to be scanning all possible locations for entering the push tower with all its might.
Night Owl unleashed a barrage of Orange Lantern Ghosts and Amorod robots at him, seemingly slowing him down and making little progress, but...
Suddenly, the galactic golem ghost, which had been fighting the giant Alfred to a standstill, vanished.
These orange-lamp ghosts are undead spirits captured by the ring. Due to the power of greed, everything they have belongs to the ring's owner, including their souls and their own power.
They cannot be killed, only temporarily dispersed. The only way to make these orange-lamp ghosts disappear is...
That is, the lamp owner was harmed.
"Hehe..."
Inside the propulsion tower.
Night Owl had a maniacal smile on his face, but he was now lying on the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
"you……"
"Surprise! You think you can keep us out with a bunch of orange ghost lanterns?"
The Red Death Demon said, "The killing machine is just a target to distract you."
If the owl were still a completely mortal, it would have died on the spot from such a sudden injury.
But he is now wearing the Orange Lantern Ring, which is desperately trying to repair the damage to his body, but it still leaves him lying on the ground, unable to stand up at all.
Beside him, Red Death used supersonic speed to shake off all the blood from his hands. It was he who had just pierced Night Owl's chest with a supersonic chop, causing Night Owl to lose control of all the Orange Lantern Ghosts and appear to have completely lost his fighting ability.
"You killed him. But according to the original plan, we were supposed to recruit him into the team."
The drowned spirits spoke from the side.
The ravager crouched in the corner, as quiet as a stone.
When he hasn’t met Superman, the Destroyer is indifferent to what’s happening in the outside world, even when he’s on a mission.
His life was ruined by Superman; only when he saw Superman would the Destroyer reveal his violent tendencies and insane thoughts.
"Oh ho, it looks like it, but I accidentally pressed my button too fast," Red Death said. "So how about we leave it at that?"
Then he ran to the owl's side and plopped down on its back.
"When will the killing machine finally get in? Now that Night Owl's control is gone, does this thruster tower belong to us?"
"You've already killed Night Owl, don't destroy the booster towers anymore, they're our spoils," the drowned vengeful spirit said. "Without the roadblock, the killing machine will be here soon. We can discuss what to do with these four booster towers before letting the killing machine in. The Bat Who Laughs isn't here, so he's the one who makes the decisions."
The members of the Dark Knights were talking amongst themselves, and none of them noticed that Night Owl, lying on the ground, twitched his finger slightly.
……
……
……
Bain was sweating profusely.
He had never been so afraid.
As he gnawed at the fish that rose into his cell with the tide at the bottom of the water dungeon, he never imagined he would one day be involved in a war of this magnitude.
The good news is:
As Aquaman sacrificed himself—his body still floats not far from here.
In short, with his death, Batman's appearance has changed; he is no longer the dragon, but has returned to his original size.
The bad news is:
Batman is still asleep; he's dead, not even breathing.
Although Bain didn't want to think that way... although he didn't want to accept that it was true...
But he may have to admit that Aquaman's sacrifice was very likely meaningless.
The Justice League is basically finished, everything is doomed.
Bain knew that his life was now counting down in seconds.
Shazam the Thunder lunged at the Anti-Monitor, managing to throw a few punches before disappearing into the white light.
In a frenzy, Mera drained all the water molecules in the surrounding universe in an instant, summoning a massive water flow, before being swiftly choked by the Anti-Monitor.
As she was about to turn into bones and disappear into the white light, Bane knew he would be next.
There was no escape, and Bane had no intention of running away anymore. He put down the Batman he was carrying.
The counter-surveillance agent appeared before him.
He saw Bain raise his palm high.
He had assumed the other party would attack him, just like the Justice League members had done before.
He had never fought Bane before. The reason he was able to wipe out the entire Justice League so quickly was because he had fought them before and had a rough estimate of their strength.
Therefore, the Anti-Monitors generally adopted a slightly cautious stance when facing Bain, an opponent they had never directly confronted.
Although not particularly cautious, at least it ensured that Bain was not immediately choked.
The anti-monitor even took a step back to see just how much power Bane could muster to attack him.
Then he saw Bane swing his hand and slap Batman hard across the face: "Damn it, stop lying there like a corpse and get up right now!"
"He's dead." The Anti-Monitor's hand was already glowing with the white light of the Anti-Life Equation, but upon hearing Bane's ridiculous cry, it chose to answer him anyway:
"You're asking a dead man to come up and save you. That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in trillions of years, at least one of them."
He mocked, "Don't do such a shameful thing."
Bane grabbed Batman by the collar: "Can you hear me? Can you hear what I'm saying? Whatever it is—haha..."
Then Bane made a sound like a dog being strangled, and the Anti-Monitor behind him lifted him up by the neck with one hand.
But Bane did not choose to let Batman go.
Even though he was being squeezed so hard he was almost suffocating, he still clung desperately to Batman's collar.
He could have used vines, claws, or the arthropods of dead insects to attack the anti-monitor, but he chose not to.
He knew the strength of the other side, and he knew that all his efforts were in vain.
He just desperately grabbed Batman's collar.
"This is the first time I've ever seen anything so stupid..." the anti-surveillance agent said.
He saw Bane seemingly opening his mouth, so he pulled off his hood and saw him desperately trying to pull Batman's ear closer, attempting to say something.
Driven by curiosity, the Anti-Monitor did not teleport Bane to his death immediately. Instead, he wanted to hear what Bane and Batman's corpses had to say before they died. So he loosened his grip slightly, allowing Bane to speak.
"You could have died... Batman... You could have died."
The anti-surveillance agent heard Bain's words.
"But...but death will only silence your sorrow...end your pain. Therefore..."
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!!!"
……
……
……
"Yes," Chen Tao said.
"That's certainly a good suggestion," he said. "I never imagined I'd become a god of death, like the Black Runner or the Black Death Emperor."
He said, "I... I don't seem to have a reason to save the whole world. A world like Superman the Primal, a world without superheroes, a world where everything is peaceful."
"I know nothing will ever happen under that clear sky, and I know that my past fantasies will ultimately be nothing but illusions."
"The world is materialistic, and imagination is mere fantasy. Some dreams can be realized, while others will forever remain just childhood daydreams."
"I know I have no reason to be a hero. I don't deny that."
He turned his head and looked toward death.
"But in the past years, I have drifted up and down in the world of fame and fortune. I don't know why I was born, nor why I will die, and I have lived this life in a daze."
"But today."
"I've realized this is the moment I've been waiting for my whole life."
I'm sorry.
Chen Tao said.
"No need to apologize," Death said.
Chen Tao smiled.
Then the smile slowly faded, and finally returned to its usual calm.
This attitude is really like Batman... the one who doesn't suddenly start laughing hysterically.
A white light appeared in the space where they were talking.
Chen Tao heard indistinct shouts from outside the space.
"I have to go."
He said.
I am Batman, and my name is Chen Tao.
I said no one would die today.
I said that everything and everyone will be safe and sound today.
I said the Dark Multiverse won't always end in the worst possible way.
These are all my statements.
All you need to know is that I am Batman, the one who saves the world, without knowing how much I went through to achieve this, or what my reasons were... for doing so.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The anti-surveillance agent tossed Bane aside and said, "That's ridiculous."
He took two steps back and spoke aloud, "Barbatos, are you listening?"
"This damn thing is still alive."
In the crucible of the world, Barbatos raised his head.
The dragon of the Dark Multiverse fell silent.
"I will fully support you," he said decisively. "You can transfer your power to the current timeline without any worries, and I will help you maintain the existence of your puppet in reality."
He said, "You have to..."
Then Barbatos heard a loud bang.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble...
Push it inside the tower.
"What's going on?" The first person to react upon entering the main control killing machine exclaimed, "That damned thruster has been activated?"
Night Owl leaped up and pounced on Red Death, but passed right through it.
The Red Death Demon scoffed, "Oh, so what are you planning to do, baby owl?"
He shouted, "You must remember, when I become intangible, no one can touch me."
Then he heard the owl laugh, "Yes, baby bat, but do you know what else is true too?"
"Stop playing around!"
The killing machine charged towards the Red Death Demon: "Kill him!"
The Red Death Demon let out a miserable scream.
"When you become ethereal, you cannot stand firmly on the ground unless something tangible is supporting you."
Blood spurted from the Red Death Demon's feet.
Yes, the only weakness of the Speedster's intangibility is that when he stands on the ground, his feet must support his body, making him vulnerable to attack.
The killing machine lunged at them: "Stop playing around!"
Then he met only the owl's bright eyes.
A flash of blue light, and the entire Dark Knights, including Night Owl himself, were instantly teleported away.
Only four propulsion towers remain in operation.
Half a second later, all four propulsion towers lit up with a dazzling blue light.
Their central energy source has returned, and they are now operational again.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
Listen! That high-pitched sound is making a huge noise!
"Batman, you..."
The Anti-Monitor tried to rush towards Batman, but Batman grabbed him first.
In an instant, the two of them shot off like comets.
Rumble rumble rumble...
The giant hammer was raised high and then brought down with a bang, and the entire Dark Multiverse... trembled as a result.
"Wait..." Barbatos suddenly realized something.
"He didn't intend to kill you with that blow..."
"He wants to lead you to the Bright Multiverse?"
