Chapter 2400: Battle between Bats ()
After Batman and Batwoman left, Clark and Hal stayed in the universe where Batwoman was to do the aftermath work. The so-called aftermath was actually just watching Atlantis and telling them not to fight too hard and affect the land.
Atlan has only hatred for the present Atlantis, and it is obvious that the Atlanteans do not recognize the new king at all. The conflict between them is far more intense than expected. In the end, Clark and Hal have no choice but to move the Queen of the Sea to land.
They found a note left by Batman in Batwoman's Batcave, which explained in detail what Batwoman had encountered and the possible contamination caused by the mysterious meteorite metal.
Finding something fishy, the Sea Queen no longer cared about old grudges, and with the help of Clark and Hal, they sealed Atlantis back into the sea, and then began to check Atlantis' energy system. Sure enough, they found a problem with the filter at the exit.
There is sufficient evidence to prove that the pollution did not come from the mainland, but from Atlantis itself, and the pollution in Atlantis may have come from a mysterious piece of metal.
After a comprehensive investigation, the Sea Queen finally found the culprit. It looked like the core of a filter. Hal wrapped it with green light energy and tested it. The pollution reading immediately dropped.
In the end, the Queen chose to give this thing to Clark and Hal, and returned to Atlantis to restore order in Atlantis.
Clark and Hal didn't know where to go with this hot potato. Just at this time, Bruce called Clark and asked him to go on a long journey together. Hal decided to take this thing to find the little blue man in this universe.
Don’t worry about whether the little blue men know what this is or not. Just send any disaster to them. It doesn’t matter whether they can figure it out or not. Even if a disaster breaks out and kills all the little blue men, the universe will not suffer any loss.
After Clark returned to his own universe, he asked Bruce why he had to go through such a long detour to send them to that universe, and this was Bruce's answer.
"Our universe is a double-sided plate. The bright universe is on the top of the plate, and the dark universe is on the bottom of the plate. The two worlds are completely opposite, and the places with the most concentrated energy all gather at the bottom in their own direction."
"That is to say, the source of light and the source of darkness are actually closely connected. To enter the light universe, you must first pass through the source of light, and to enter the dark universe, you must first pass through the source of darkness."
"This is also the reason why Barbatos has never been able to launch a large-scale attack on the Light Universe. Even though he is only a stone's throw away, as the ruler of the Dark Universe, he cannot break through the limitations of the Source of Light."
"Similarly, people from the Light Universe have to pass through Barbatos' territory before going to the Dark Universe. Obviously, Batman is the key target, and the Batman and I are the top priorities. It is difficult to go to the Dark Universe without being discovered by Barbatos."
"So I can only create an accident and make Barbatos think that a certain energy must be transferred. Then I can hide you in that energy. It's like hiding you deep in the truck. This way, I can transport you without being discovered by Barbatos."
Clark suddenly realized.
"But are you also going to the dark universe this time? How do you plan to go?"
"You don't have to be sneaky this time. You can travel on public funds." Bruce snapped his fingers and said, "That's why I asked you and Diana to come. It's a free trip. You'd better come."
"Did you get the budget?" Clark walked over and put his arm around Bruce's shoulders and said, "It looks like the reimbursement amount is very high."
"I said I'm just an ordinary human, too weak. Going to the dark universe is bound to be dangerous, and I have to bring at least two bodyguards. But the stingy boss only gave me two bodyguards, so I can only take you and Diana."
"Wait, you're going to the dark universe? Is it a place similar to the universe we went to this time?" Clark showed a hesitant expression and said, "It's not that I don't want to protect you, but if you don't really need it, then I don't have to go."
Bruce heard Clark's resistance and looked at him curiously. Clark sighed and said, "Those universes make me feel very uncomfortable. My power is weakened there, and the sun can't restore my energy very well."
"That's because the universe you went to is somewhat special and has been polluted in some way. Although the universe we are going to this time is in the dark universe, it is actually not dangerous, or it is impossible to be dangerous."
Clark heard that he seemed to have some hidden meaning, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Bruce smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do on this business trip?"
"What?" Clark blinked, he didn't know why Bruce was so happy.
"The great Majesty Barbatos is finally planning to invade the bright universe, but he is now alone and weak, and is constrained in every way. So for the sake of his majesty's great cause, I must go deep into the dark universe, find some useful helpers, and form an elite team. I plan to name it the Dark Knights!"
"Your bad intentions are written all over your face." Clark couldn't help but complain.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm loyal." Bruce leaned on Clark and said, "I haven't called Diana yet, let's go."
He went to the Metropolitan Library to pick up Diana who was working. Diana looked at Bruce and said in surprise, "Are you really taking this as a serious job? You don't really want to form a Batman army, do you?"
"Of course." Bruce nodded and said, "Not only do we need to form an army, but we also need to carefully select its members. We need to make sure that every one of them is the best of the best. For this purpose, I have specially formulated a set of assessment procedures. Those who fail to pass the assessment are not eligible to join this great cause."
"I always feel like there's something weird." Clark said. Although Bruce's expression couldn't be more serious, after spending a long time with him, everyone understood that the more serious he was, the more he wanted to make a big deal.
Diana stretched herself, sighed and said, "It just so happens that I haven't taken my annual leave yet..."
"Wait a minute." Clark said, "You took such a long break during the music festival. Haven't you finished your annual leave yet?"
"That's a government-sponsored inspection." Diana said, "The good mayor of Metropolis also wants to know where Gotham's popularity comes from, so most of the cultural and art departments sent employees to inspect it, and I was one of them."
"I really envy you guys who travel on public funds." Clark shook his head and said, "Since I became a freelance journalist, I've been thinking about the next stage of my storytelling in my dreams."
The three of them chatted all the way to the basement of Wayne Manor, where Bruce had built a portal leading directly to the dark universe.
"Is this also at public expense?" Clark asked, looking at the huge portal.
"Of course, how could I possibly spend my own money to repair the subway to work?" Bruce rolled his eyes slightly and said, "I'm a worker, not a believer in God, so I won't work at my own expense."
"I feel like you're trying to find a class just to avoid being scolded by Thomas," Diana pointed out, "so that he can unfreeze your card and stop them from having a second child."
"Come on, do you know how many Batmen there are in the universe?" Bruce complained, "If they think they don't have enough sons, they can just go to other universes to get one. Why do they have to give birth to one themselves? In the end, I'll have to take care of the child. I've finally brought up Elsa. I don't want to take care of another child!"
Diana snorted twice, shrugged and said, "You won't succeed. Your parents are still young. Sooner or later, you will have brothers and sisters."
After they passed through the portal, they arrived not in a universe, but in a circular office floating in the dark space. There was a huge table in the middle, and a holographic projection of the structure of the universe was floating on the table.
Bruce walked over and pressed a button. Several dots in the holographic projection lit up. He was just one of them. Bruce said, "Let's go here first. I've seen it. This Batman is pretty good and has strong strength."
Diana and Clark narrowed their eyes together.
Passing through the portal made of light spots, Clark and Diana found themselves in Arkham Asylum. Of course, this was not because they were so familiar with the environment here, but because the fragments of the fallen sign were placed at their feet.
Bruce walked slowly. Clark sniffed and said, "It really doesn't seem that uncomfortable anymore. Is this really the dark multiverse? It feels no different from where we are, except that the air is a little more humid."
"The magic elements are obviously stronger." Diana snapped her fingers, creating a ball of flame in her hand for lighting and said, "I guess many magics that are not very strong should perform better here, but the upper limit is still unknown."
"Where is the Batman we are looking for?" Clark asked.
"I guess he's in the asylum, but we'd better be careful, this is a big guy."
"Big guy?" Diana raised an eyebrow and said, "I never thought you would use this word to describe any Batman. I don't think you have a good impression of them."
"That's true, but this one is really extra big."
As they turned the corner, as Bruce finished his words, the three of them focused their attention on the huge footprints in the corridor ahead.
"roar--!!!!!!"
Snap! Bang!
Along with a deafening roar, a huge head broke through the wall next to it and stretched out from the stairwell. The sharp teeth flashing with cold light and the eyes boiling with murderous intent were particularly bright in the dim space.
Diana and Clark were stunned.
What emerged from the stairwell was a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex, its upper half black and its lower half gray.
The three already very strong humans looked very small against the backdrop of his huge figure. They all raised their heads to look at the behemoth.
"Don't tell me this is Batman."
"He is, look at his color scheme."
"No, don't make me..."
"Look at the scales on his neck," Diana said aloud. "Don't you think that looks familiar?"
Clark took a closer look and discovered that the scales that seemed to be close to the skin were not actually scales, but layers of cold bat darts.
boom! ! ! !
"……run!!!"
