Chapter 3737 "Spiritual Qi Revival" (Part 2)

Chapter 3737 "Spiritual Qi Revival" (Part 2)

At 7:00 p.m. that day, countries around the world released reports on the "Cosmic Stages of Development and the Synchronous Development of the Human Race's Body and Mind," though the content varied.

Some countries focused on explaining the story of the World Tree, telling their people what had happened before; others emphasized the victory, telling them that the current cure for human diseases was a result of that victory; still others stressed the principles, using a lot of technical terms; and some countries presented their reports in a very unique way. Schiller read the Chinese report and described it in one word: "Reiki revival."

Regardless of whether the terminology is technical or not, just look at how simple and easy to understand it is. Even someone who hasn't read any online novels can roughly grasp what it means from the literal meaning. Simply put, the spiritual energy in the air has increased, so ordinary people can sense its presence and even cultivate and use it. What a straightforward logic!

But this is actually closer to the truth than lengthy scientific explanations. The phenomenon of cosmic energy level elevation leans more towards the magical realm, and science cannot fully explain it. Especially given the current level of human science, explaining things like the World Tree is still too difficult. If we insist on a technical explanation, ordinary people won't understand it; it's better to use simple, easy-to-understand logic to avoid causing social panic.

China's approach was indeed effective. Almost everyone who heard this thought it was a good thing. Although some hotheads, having read too many online novels, tried to seize the initiative in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, the area's security was already quite good, so no major trouble ensued.

Countries found this method effective and devised similar explanations. In the United States, it was called "New Humans," which simply meant that we defeated the three great empires and thus evolved into new humans. In Europe, it was called the "Age of Magic," meaning that the universe had entered a magical age, so humans could also master magic.

These explanations aren't entirely wrong; they're only partial truths, but they're simple and easy to understand. After hearing them, the average person should have a general idea of ​​what to do.

All they had to do was go about their business. Because it wasn't just one or two people improving, but everyone improving—essentially, it was no improvement at all. Even if your physical abilities improved, others might also improve, and you still might not be able to win a fight; even if your body could withstand bullets, the gunman might also be more accurate, and if he aimed directly at vital points, you still wouldn't be able to withstand it. Therefore, after the initial period of turmoil, everything basically returned to normal.

The only significant change was the implementation of magic education. After discovering that the main ability of this stage of human evolution was the ability to sense and directly use energy, countries began to promote magic education. However, this wasn't easy to implement; some countries lacked even basic science education, leaving them even more clueless about magic.

Some countries, while capable of doing so, felt it wasn't cost-effective. After some discussion, they decided that one per continent would suffice. In the Americas, this naturally meant Ivory Morney School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States. Thanks to previous movie promotions, it's arguably the most famous magic school there.

Previously, everyone thought it was fictional, just a movie shoot. After it was officially confirmed, many movie fans were incredulous. During the initial recruitment period, the application mailbox was overwhelmed with requests.

No one objects to Strange building a magic school now, but he's not happy about it; in fact, he's quite troubled. His original intention in opening the school was to connect the multiverse and recruit students from across it. If too many ordinary students enroll, he might not be able to teach them all.

The pressure from Congress was particularly intense. Because what Strange said during his congressional questioning had actually come true: many people could now manipulate energy, and inevitably some exceptional individuals would start off with huge attacks, causing countless problems. They desperately wanted someone to bring these young geniuses together and properly teach them how to control energy, instead of them just blowing things up one after another.

Under this pressure, Strange had no choice but to accept a group of exceptionally talented students, including Gwen. However, in order to fulfill his previous plans, Strange decided to begin recruiting students from the multiverse ahead of schedule.

He had already selected some candidates in this great world. However, he didn't know much about the great world next door, so he could only ask Schiller for help.

"They're starting admissions so soon?" Schiller asked, somewhat doubtfully. "The school isn't even fully built yet, is it? Are you sure this will work?"

"Do you think you can recruit students by tomorrow?" Strange retorted. "Whether you can or not, I certainly can't. Just contacting people from other universes will take at least a month. Gathering information on students and parents will take even longer. By the time they actually arrive at the magic school, it'll probably be half a year from now."

“That’s true,” Schiller nodded. “But as I said before, you can’t stop Batman from coming…”

“Let them come if they want,” Strange said with a hint of despair. “There’s nothing shameful about our universe. Let them come if they want.”

"Okay, you said it yourself. I'll try to pick some safe Batman characters. But you know, even the safest ones..."

"Alright, go do your thing," Strange said, urging him to leave.

Schiller shook his head and left. He had actually been pondering this matter as well. He knew that with Batman's intelligence, if he spoke up, the other party would definitely realize what they were planning. But he believed that Batman wouldn't refuse, especially those Batmen who had some understanding of this larger world.

If you compare New York and Gotham, most people would think they're about the same. But don't forget that Gotham's pressure is basically all on Batman's shoulders. It's because of Batman that Gotham's situation is slightly better than New York's.

In New York, things have been largely unregulated and unregulated. While the Avengers have saved the world numerous times, a few individuals from certain organizations have also destroyed it on a significant scale. If we completely disregard the superheroes on both sides, Gotham's situation is indeed worse.

In other words, Gotham actually benefits more from this cross-world collaboration. Even if things don't go perfectly, they can at least invite some people to help maintain order in Gotham, like Spider-Man. Again, Batman won't let any smart and capable kid slip through his fingers. Of course, black hair and blue eyes are preferred.

Since most normal Batmen would agree, the problem is how to get them together and then bring them to the other world. This isn't a Battle Realm mission, so there's no way to use the Battle Realm portal. While using the position for personal gain isn't entirely wrong, Schiller doesn't plan to do it, otherwise, it'll be troublesome if others come to him for help later.

Schiller decided to use the old method: bring all the bats to his house, then have Lucifer drive to the outside of the Great World Barrier, and have the OAA open a door so that the people can be transported over.

While gathering all the Batmen in one's own home isn't entirely safe, it's unlikely that any Batman from another universe would agree to such a large gathering. Therefore, some sacrifices have to be made.

After some thought, Schiller made a list and decided to visit each of the Batmen on it one by one. Most of these were Batmen he knew well, or those who had received some form of help from people in Schiller's universe, such as the main universe's Batmen, and those who were originally supposed to join the Dark Knights. These Batmen were relatively safe.

After completing the list, Schiller checked it again, then suddenly remembered something. So he sent Dick a message:

"How's your mission to rescue the most tragic Batman going? Has that Batman arrived in the Battle Realm yet?"

Schiller was thinking that if Dick and his team managed to rescue Batman, they could add him to the list.

In reality, Schiller didn't know who this so-called most tragic Batman was, because there were too many tragic Batmen in the Dark Universe to count, and it was indeed impossible to compare who was the most tragic.

Dick's chat window flickered for a while before he finally replied with a message: "Couldn't be saved, mission failed."

Schiller sent a question mark, and Dick paused for a while before saying, "To be precise, Batman is still alive; we just couldn't change the situation. Other Batmen went to rescue him later, but none of them succeeded."

Schiller was now quite intrigued. What kind of inferno could have caused the Robin team and Batman to suffer such a crushing defeat?

"I can't explain it clearly. If you're interested, you can open that instance and take a look," Dick replied finally.

Schiller thought for a moment and suddenly felt that the magic school incident wasn't so important. He wanted to see what was wrong with this most miserable Batman. But since Dick and the other Batmen had tried to rescue him but failed, it must be extremely dangerous there. Greed didn't think he was good at head-on confrontations, and Pride seemed unlikely to succeed either, so he dragged back the agents who were still on leave.

"You mean, there's a scenario where Robin and Batman can't handle it, and you think you and Pride can't handle it either, and you want me to go and rescue the person?" the agent said, narrowing his eyes.

"Put your gun down first," Greed said from the tower's corridor. "We guarantee we're on standby, ready to step in whenever you need us. And after this is over, I won't bother you again."

"You'd better be." The agent walked away without looking back.

Standing to the side, Arrogance looked at Greed and said, "Do you know which Batman went to save that so-called most miserable Batman, and still failed?"

"Which one?"

"Batman from the Arkham Knight universe."

"hiss……"

Here we go!
