Chapter 760: Bat Demon (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
“This...here is hell?!”
Bruce Wayne in his soul state stared at the endless huge super cybernetic in shock. In the punk city, there are all kinds of races and various humanoid creatures on the streets, and their entire faces are filled with incomparable shock and disbelief.
Because when he originally heard the word Baator Hell, what came to his mind were the ghastly and terrifying scenes described in religious classics.
But I never expected that it would be so prosperous, lively, noisy, and extremely technologically advanced.
If you ignore the magical parts, it looks like a futuristic science fiction world.
The most important thing is that its scale is so huge that it simply exceeds the limit of human imagination.
Especially the numerous restaurants, bars, nightclubs, casinos and other special service places on the roadside, as well as groups of delirious guys coming in and out, and standing in the corners selling various addictions The humanoid creature taking sex drugs made Bruce Wayne seem to see a shadow of Gotham's past.
The familiar scent that hit his face even made him feel like a wanderer returning home.
It’s just that unlike the chaotic Gotham, everything here seems to be restrained by some powerful force of order.
Even those gray industries and gang members still abide by some of the most basic rules, instead of infiltrating and controlling the government and law enforcement agencies to become the rule makers.
Countless mortal souls who come here are drunk and dreaming every day, venting and indulging the repressed desires in their hearts without any scruples.
Gluttony!
Lazy!
Greedy!
Indulge!
Hedonism and consumerism are like viruses eroding everyone's thinking and consciousness, along with the endless desire for power and power.
Bruce Wayne didn't know how to describe what he saw, nor did he know how a super-urban area with such ambitions for ordinary people could maintain orderly operation.
If this thing were placed on the earth, it would inevitably become very chaotic if it only had to be one thousandth or even one ten thousandth in scale.
Administrative and law enforcement agencies will become bloated and inefficient, and problems of all sizes will emerge in endlessly.
Criminals will even expand their power by bribing law enforcement officials, and capital will form interest groups to fight with each other through money and power transactions.
But these problems that once existed in Gotham are not reflected at all in the huge cyberpunk city now.
The devil's law enforcement agencies and judicial system are still strong and efficient. Any individuals or organizations that try to violate the law will be arrested and tried within a very short time.
The elected parliament and subordinate bureaucracies are also vigorous and will respond to all existing problems within their jurisdiction.
To be honest, Bruce Wayne suddenly felt like he liked this place a little bit.
Because he could predict that living in such a place would encounter exciting and unexpected events every day, and he would never feel bored.
"That's right! This is the ninth level of Baator Hell, an infinite space without borders, and a country that I built and ruled from scratch. How about it, isn't it great?"
Zuo Si was obviously very satisfied with the reaction of the old bat. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the Lord's Building in the center of the city, looking down at the shining neon streets that were comparable to light pollution,
Bruce Wayne He praised without hesitation: "It's more than great, it can be described as a miracle. How on earth do you manage such a large and complex super city circle?"
Zuo Si answered with a smile. : "This has to mention one of the plane characteristics of Baator Hell, lawfulness."
"Lawful?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Bruce Wayne's eyes.
“Yes, lawful.
You can understand that any devil or other creature that lives here for a long time will inevitably be affected and produce a situation similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder. .
They have a pathological obsession with rules, laws and disciplines.
Although they will distort the interpretation of corresponding clauses for their own interests, and even exploit loopholes and loopholes to use them as weapons against enemies, they will not openly challenge and violate the existing social order.
On the contrary!
They will only compete and game within the framework of the rules.
In particular, the strict hierarchy brings absolute obedience from subordinates to superiors, giving the big devils in high positions unimaginable huge advantages.
The low-level devils can only try their best to please their bosses, demonstrate their work abilities, stand out among their colleagues, gain recognition, and then get promotion opportunities.
In this highly involuted environment, everything naturally becomes very efficient.
Any delay or lack of effort may result in failure to satisfy the superior and result in demotion. "
Zuo Si very patiently explained to the old bat the nature and operating rules of Baator Hell.
"So it is actually closer to a dictatorial system cloaked in democratic elections? ”
Bruce Wayne’s tone was filled with strong uncertainty.
Zuo Si sneered and shook his head: "No, it's not as simple as you think.
Because the actual operation of the entire system is very complicated, and there are even lawful and good celestial beings from the upper planes involved, so It is difficult to give a clear definition.
After all, there are many groups that tend to be good in some communities.
They do their best with the help of celestial beings. Can resist the evil influence of the hell plane
Although the final result is often the ultimate fall due to the inability to resist the ubiquitous temptation
But this possibility and hope still exists, and will continue to attract kind-hearted creatures to try to change.
As long as the degree of depravity of all mortal souls arriving here reaches a certain limit, they will be sent to the torture chamber hidden in the dark for a long period of torture, and the memories and emotions inside will be completely converted into energy squeeze. come out.
During this process, the mortal soul will lose most of its memory and become an empty body.
Finally, the body is thrown into the hatching pit and transformed into larvae and the lowest level of devils.
The above are the complete set of operating rules for the ninth level of Baator Hell.
Of course, in the process of falling, the mortal soul can enjoy the most extreme pleasure and excitement for years, decades, or even centuries.
So even if they know what the final result will be, they will not hesitate to invest in it. "
Hearing these chilling words, even Bruce Wayne shuddered involuntarily, smiled bitterly and sighed: "Are you sinking in constant happiness? This is really a temptation that humans cannot refuse..."
As a person who has seen the dark world of Gotham, he obviously knows very well that the instinct of most ordinary people is to avoid pain and pursue happiness.
This is why anyone who is addicted to addictive drugs, gambling, and prostitution has a hard time quitting it throughout his life
Because these things can really make people very happy and satisfied in the process of stimulating the brain, and can even permanently change the brain, greatly increasing a person's threshold for happiness.
And this means that things that can make ordinary people feel happy, such as a sumptuous meal or an intimate interaction in bed with their partner, cannot stir up a single ounce in their hearts. Waves.
Only stronger external stimulation, even dark, twisted and morbid behaviors, can satisfy its increasingly higher happiness threshold.
After realizing this, Bruce Wayne finally understood the true meaning of the existence of this huge cyberpunk city in front of him, as well as the terrifying evil nature of Baator Hell.
After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you plan to do with my soul?"
"It's very simple. I plan to turn you into a good helper, a great devil with a unique form. But before that, I need to dig into the dark side of your heart."
Said, Zuo Si turned around and transformed into a big devil and walked closer, injecting his evil power into the depths of his soul.
In just a few seconds, the long-repressed dark personality in Bruce Wayne began to grow and develop at an extremely fast speed, and began to erode the main personality.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
With a painful scream, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and the right half of his face showed the same thing as The left side is completely different in ferocity, bloodthirsty and madness.
Almost at the same time, the depth and evil emerging from his soul even caused a slight resonance in the hell plane.
After all, Batman is not one of those sunny and cheerful superheroes. He has been filled with extremely deep darkness from the moment he was born.
Especially the one in front of me. No matter how successful Gotham was in transforming it before, the dark side in his heart will be huge.
In the end, these darkness completely swallowed up the reason and condensed into a concrete personality entity, a bat demon that was ready to roar and roar in anger, representing pure evil and fear.
To be precise, this is the self that constitutes the birth of Batman, a primitive force that is suppressed by both the ego and the superego on a daily basis.
As the power of his ego completely exploded, Bruce Wayne's human body began to become distorted, and a pair of huge bat wings slowly grew from his back. His body also began to be elongated, taller, and stronger, and his hands and feet The feet have also turned into sharp claws, and a pair of horns like bat ears have grown on the head. There is also the devil's iconic tail with a poisonous barb behind the butt.
Finally, the huge bat wings wrapped the entire body to form an airtight cocoon.
A large amount of hell energy poured into it from all directions, helping it complete the most important soul transformation.
Such a drastic change is naturally impossible to hide from Asmodeus, who represents the will of the plane.
In less than three or five seconds, the Lord of Hell teleported over with his supreme authority, stared at the huge black cocoon in the room and asked with interest: "My young friend, have you ever Where did you get such an extremely rare and precious interesting soul?”
"Another universe. How is it? What do you think of his potential?"
Zuo Si touched his chin and asked casually.
“It’s amazing.
Because a soul like this that coexists with good and evil, order and chaos is as dazzling as the jewel in the crown.
Whether it is Demons, demons, celestial beings, and gods will all be tempted to claim it for themselves
I was even willing to start a war to get him.
Especially when the mortal in front of me has been fighting for the cause of justice and kindness all his life, and has been doing his best to suppress his own darkness and evil throughout his life.
But after his death, he suddenly lost the meaning of perseverance and fell completely.
I am really intoxicated by the extreme contrast and the feeling that people who do good deeds will not be rewarded in the end. ”
Asmodeus gave a very high evaluation straightforwardly.
Not only that, he also used the authority of the Lord of Hell to inject more energy into the transforming Bruce Wayne.
You must know that transforming from a mortal to a devil is not just a change in body and appearance.
The more energy gained in this process, the greater the power and potential will be after birth.
After all this was done, the Lord of Hell immediately turned around and looked Zuo Si up and down. After a while, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "You have become stronger again? That kind of surrounding feeling What’s going on with the power of time and the mysterious energy around the body?”
“It’s a long story.”
Zuo Si blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious, but he had no intention of explaining anything.
"Hahahaha, well, since you want to keep your secret, I won't pry."
Asmodeus obviously sensed the implication and immediately ended it This was a little trial.
As the Lord of Hell with a strong desire for control, although he knew that the young man in front of him would not really threaten his position, he still couldn't help but want to find out.
No way, this is one of the devil's innate natures - suspicion and suspicion.
Zuo Si also showed enough tolerance and patience for this, and bowed to Asmodeus with a smile.
Since both of them are deep-minded and very rational devils, this little unpleasantness was quickly overturned.
Especially the Lord of Hell, he doesn’t want to lose the most powerful ace salesman in Hell, as well as the share of soul energy that can be extracted from him every day.
About ten hours later, with the violent squirming inside the cocoon, a big devil that combined the characteristics of a humanoid creature and a bat finally broke out of the shell. Its two eyes were completely pure black without a trace. The whites of his eyes make people feel horrified just by looking at them.
“How do you feel now?”
Zuo Si was the first to speak to break the silence.
Bruce Wayne, who had completely transformed into a devil, raised his claw-like hands and clenched them into fists. The corners of his mouth immediately rose wildly and he replied without thinking: "I feel great now! That's it!" It seems that all the shackles in my heart have been broken, and my true self has been released."
"Congratulations, now you no longer have to get entangled in the so-called bottom line, and you can do whatever you want. "
Zuo Si gave his blessing to the reborn Batman with a faint smile on his face.
Of course, to be precise, it should be called the Bat Demon.
"Welcome to join the big family of hell. I hope you can bring more and better evil souls to this place like your own lord."
After saying that, Asmodeus activated The teleportation magic disappeared in place.
"That's...the Lord of Hell?!"
The bat demon obviously noticed the aura exuded by Asmodeus.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, that's him. Now that you have completed the transformation into a big devil, I think it is time to send you to your other self."
< br>
"Another self?"
The Bat Demon was obviously stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something. The upward curve of the corners of his mouth suddenly became more exaggerated, as if he had merged with the clown.
The only difference is that what the clown pursues is complete chaos, while what he pursues is ultimate authority and order.
"Haha, believe me, this will be very, very interesting. After all, there is nothing more interesting than looking at another person who is completely opposite to yourself like looking in a mirror."
The words have not yet finished. , Zuo Si suddenly and without warning made the newly born Bat Demon into a follower card, and then took him to activate the Planeswalker Spark and return to the parallel universe he created before.
At this moment, the young Barry Allen, who had been resurrected from the dead, had woken up and was sitting there with a blank look on his face, looking up at the sky.
Because after he woke up, he found that not only did his good brother leave without saying goodbye, but even the old Batman sacrificed his precious life to save himself, and the whole world also suffered because of this Kryptonian attack. The invasion resulted in complete and irreversible changes.
The fear of death and destruction fills everyone’s minds. It is easy to see a lot of discussions about where the earth and mankind should go in the future when you turn on your mobile phone and the Internet.
More than 90% of them believe that a relatively friendly and powerful alien civilization should take the initiative to become a vassal of the other party.
Although this will result in the loss of autonomy, it can at least ensure the continuation of human civilization, and perhaps also obtain some free scientific and technological assistance, thereby improving the living standards of ordinary people.
Others believe that we should surrender to the Kryptonians on Black Zero and let them rule and protect the earth.
In short, many people are full of pessimism about the future of their own civilization after witnessing the terrifying combat power of the Kryptonians and the horrific damage caused by the world engine's manipulation of gravity.
This made the young Barry Allen, who had been killed by the Reverse Flash once, feel at a loss, as if everything he did was meaningless.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Why don't you go home?"
Zuo Si gently tapped the Flash on the shoulder to interrupt his thoughts.
The latter was startled at first, and then said with a bitter expression: "Thank you, thank you for saving my life and saving the world at the same time. Kara has told me everything that happened after that. "
Zuo Si responded with a smile: "You're welcome, anyway, it's not me who really made the sacrifice.
And if I were you, I would go home immediately to report my safety. .
You must know that your parents are still alive. They will be worried if you suddenly disappear for such a long time.
The most important thing is, why are you looking downcast. What does it look like?
As Barry Allen, who may be the only one whose parents are both alive and growing up in a complete family, you have to take on the important responsibility of protecting the earth.
Maybe others can be decadent and indulgent when they see no hope, but you are not qualified to do so. "
"I'm sorry, I... I just can't adapt to such a change.
You are right, I may be the only superhero in the world now, and I must shoulder my responsibilities.
I can’t let Mr. Wayne’s sacrifice go to waste, let alone let anything happen to my parents again.
After all, like you said, I'm probably the happiest Barry Allen in all the parallel worlds, so I have to do better than my other selves. "The young Flash quickly wiped the tears from his eyes to regain his strength, bent down and bowed respectfully, and then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared into the vast night.
< br>Just as he was embarking on his journey home, a black woman with camouflage protection slowly walked out of the darkness and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Your Excellency Soth, Barry A. Is Lun really the last human to master superpowers in this world? "
"Maybe, maybe not.
But he is indeed the only key player who has the ability to make a comeback in desperate situations.
Because the Speed Force he possesses is one of the most powerful regular forces in the universe and can truly create miracles.
I suggest you be nice to Barry Allen and provide him with all the resources. ”
Zuo Si gave the answer without looking back.
Obviously, this black woman is Amanda Waller, who came to make contact as a messenger not long ago.
"That's it. Thank you for your reminder. I will convey these words to the President and Congress intact. In addition, regarding the contract, we have already signed it for you to take a look at. ”
As she spoke, Amanda Waller waved to the two attendants next to her to spread out the devil's contract and display the dense signatures at the bottom.
After taking a quick glance, Zuo Si immediately signed his name on the other side.
In an instant!
A ball of flames burst out from the scroll and began to burn, startling everyone around.
When the entire contract was completely burned down, leaving only embers falling in the wind, Zuo Si then said: "The contract has come into effect.
From now on, you are responsible for providing souls, and I am responsible for providing protection.
First step, I will leave the Kryptonians on the Black Zero mothership.
If you encounter any dangers or troubles that you cannot solve yourself, you can directly ask them for help.
And I allow you to send scientists to study Kryptonian technology, and I also allow you to use shimmer oil to improve your own technological level. ”
“Thank you very much. We will remember your generosity and kindness and pledge our everlasting loyalty to you. ”
Amanda Waller bowed her head very humbly to express her complete surrender.
She knew very well that although the other party did not rule the earth in name, he was actually the supreme emperor of the entire world, and could even be described as a god.
After all, mastering the world after death and the soul is enough to arouse strong awe in those who are still alive.
"Haha, I hope so."
Zuo Si smiled noncommittally, and then activated the teleportation magic to reach Black Zero's internal space that had been transformed and strengthened by Shuoyou.
As soon as he showed up, Kara, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed up to ask for a kiss, as if the two had not seen each other for several years.
But in fact, only a dozen hours have passed since the last time we were separated.
The intimacy continued like this for several minutes, until it was about to go off. Zuo Si pressed a finger on the Kryptonian girl’s moist and slightly red lips, teasing her in a half-joking tone. Said: "Calm down, greedy and hungry little kitten, I'm here to take you away this time. If we take another step now, I'm afraid it won't be over in just a few days given our physical strength."
"How many days? I think we can last at least a few months."
Kara deliberately opened her mouth in a very seductive movement, first gently biting her fingertips with her teeth, and then wrapped it with her tongue He sucked it for a moment, his eyes showing naked and undisguised provocation.
However, her immature and clumsy teasing obviously had no effect on Zuo Si, who had experienced many battles, and instead suffered a brain breakdown.
“Ouch! Why did you hit me?”
The Kryptonian girl touched her red forehead and pouted like a little girl.
"How many months? Don't overestimate your abilities in certain areas, and I can't have that much free time."
Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily. , and then held Kara's waist forcefully in a very rough and domineering movement.
This action instantly made the latter scream, and then his heartbeat accelerated, his body became limp, and his eyes almost watered.
But the next second she felt her eyes blur, and then she lost her perception of the surrounding environment, as if she was completely wrapped by some kind of diaphragm.
I don’t know how long it took.
Maybe it was a few seconds, maybe it was a few minutes...
When the Kryptonian girl regained her awareness of the surrounding environment, she suddenly found that she had arrived at the door of a huge manor, and There was also an old man wearing a black suit beside Zuo Si, with vicissitudes of life and stories written all over his face.
Bruce Wayne?
Driving out of curiosity, she couldn't help but lower her voice and asked: "Where is this place?"
"The home of Batman Bruce Wayne in another parallel universe.< br>
Remember, don’t speak later unless necessary
Because every word you say will become a weapon for him to analyze and use against you.”
Zuo Si issued a warning seriously.
With Kara’s poor IQ and EQ, it is too easy for Bruce Wayne to manipulate her.
Facing Batman, the best way for people who are not high enough to deal with him is to remain expressionless and say nothing.
“Understood, everything is up to you.”
After saying that, Kara took Zuo Si’s arm like any other girl in love, eager to declare herself to the whole world sovereignty.
After standing at the door for a few minutes, the butler Alfred soon greeted him personally.
Just when he wanted to say hello politely as usual, the smile suddenly froze on his face, and his voice seemed to be stuck, and he froze in place for a long time.
The reason is very simple!
He saw another older, more mature Bruce Wayne.
And not only the appearance, but also the temperament and behavior are exactly the same.
"Long time no see, Alfred, you seem to be a lot younger."
The Bat Demon greeted him in a tone of reunion after a long absence.
"You...who are you?"
Alfred swallowed subconsciously, and even his voice trembled.
The Bat Demon smiled and asked: "Why, you can't even recognize my voice? Or do you think I am someone else pretending to be someone else?"
"Oh my God! Are you really Bruce? Another Bruce?"
The old butler's mood suddenly became excited.
He could feel that the man in front of him was what his master would look like ten or even twenty years from now.
You can’t go wrong!
"How about it, Alfred, do you think Bruce will like the surprise I brought him this time?"
Zuo Si interjected with a half-smile.
The old housekeeper didn’t know what kind of expression he should show, and replied with a dumbfounded look: "Don’t ask me, Your Excellency, I don’t know how the master will react. But no matter what, , I feel a little relieved to see another Bruce living to this age. At least he didn't die at the hands of those madmen and criminals."
"I think it's better not to be happy too early. .
Because this Bruce never got married and had a family throughout his life.
The last person lived in isolation in Wayne Manor.
But the good news is that he succeeded in turning Gotham into one of the safest cities in the world. ”
Zuo Si obviously knew what the old butler wanted to know, and gave a rough introduction to the old bat’s living conditions.
I heard another Bruce who had never been able to get married, have children, and start a family throughout his life. At that time, Alfred obviously showed a sad and sad expression, but when he learned that he had achieved his wish and successfully transformed Gotham, he instantly showed a proud and proud expression
He was fully satisfied. It took a minute to recover from the violent emotional ups and downs, and I put one hand on my chest and bowed slightly: "Anyway, thank you very much for telling me this, and even brought another Bruce here. Please come in now. I have just prepared black tea and snacks. The master went out for something an hour and a half ago and may not be back until a while. "
"It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry anyway. ”
An hourglass-shaped object appeared in Zuo Si's pupils for an instant, and then quickly disappeared.
Through the power of time, he effortlessly knew that Batman in this timeline was going to meet Barry Allen, who had just returned.
After all, the opening of the space-time tunnel made such a big noise before. Given this guy's character, it would be strange if we didn't ask him clearly.
And if nothing else, I will meet Catwoman by chance on the way back, and do some exercises that are good for physical and mental health.
Ever since Catwoman was infected by the curse of lycanthropy, the two of them played more and more wildly every time.
There were several times when Bruce Wayne came back bruised and battered.
Alfred once thought that his master had been attacked by a new villain.
But a pair of black lace shorts and sticky stockings full of holes later found in the Batmobile made him change his original idea, and he was reminded more than once in a very subtle way that although human XP is free , but sometimes you still have to pay a little attention to the scale, at least don't make yourself bruised and covered in blood.
However, this kind of advice is obviously of no use to Batman who is already addicted.
Especially the excitement brought by Catwoman's constant transformation from human to cat-person and back again throughout the process, as well as the painful and happy scratching and biting during excitement, are something that no human woman can ever imagine. Give and satisfy His.
As a saying goes, when a person's threshold in some aspects begins to increase significantly, it often means the beginning of psychological distortion and abnormality.
While Zuo Si was sitting in the living room of Wayne Manor enjoying black tea and snacks, far away in the Flash's secret base, Barry Allen was telling Bruce what happened during his disappearance. matter.
Especially about what Zuo Si did, the time paradox, and the reverse-flash Albert Swann who suddenly appeared and disappeared.
After listening to everything, Bruce Wayne frowned and asked: "So he predicted what you might do in the future, and then opened the time and space tunnel and threw you back In the past?”
Barry Allen raised his head and took a sip of beer, and nodded with a decadent face: “Yes, although I also want to put the responsibility on him. Regardless of whether he was involved or not, I would have made the same mistake sooner or later. All he did was move the time forward a little."
"But what's the point of him doing this?
According to you, if everything is restored to its original state, then this extra timeline will disappear.
This also means that everything he did in that timeline is meaningless."
Bruce Wayne expressed his doubts about becoming bigger.
This kind of completely useless effort obviously does not conform to his analysis of Zuo Si's character.
In other words, since Zuo Si anticipated what the Flash would do, there should naturally be countermeasures.
So he felt that the timeline should not have been destroyed yet, at least it had not completely disappeared as described by Barry Allen.
“Sorry, my mind is very confused right now and I can’t figure out the reason at all. But what I am sure of is that the changed past has been restored and the timeline we are in now did not happen. Any change is the best proof.”
After that, Barry Allen opened another bottle of beer and drank it.
As a speedster, his body can metabolize an unlimited amount of alcohol in a short period of time, so he will never get drunk no matter how much he drinks.
I have to say, this is indeed a very sad thing.
Because what Barry Allen wants most right now is to get drunk so that he can forget everything and start a new life again when he wakes up.
Looking at the young man who was lying on the ground in pain, Bruce Wayne slowly stood up and silently patted the other man's shoulder, then turned and walked out.
Having witnessed his parents die in front of him, he can understand the despair better than anyone else.
What's more, what Barry Allen experienced was another loss after regaining something.
No matter how strong a person is, he needs time to heal the wounds in his soul after suffering two such blows in a row.
Back in the cab, Bruce Wayne sorted out his thoughts and repeatedly used reverse thinking to figure out Zuo Si's motives for doing this, but in the end he found nothing.
In desperation, he could only start his awesome Bat fighter and embark on the return journey amidst the roar of the engine.
Similar to what Zuo Si saw in Predicting the Future, when returning home, Batman happened to find Catwoman who was burglarizing a house. As a result, he landed and had a conflict with her without saying a word.
The two quickly escalated from a simple bickering to a fight of fists and kicks. They fought each other while wearing less and less clothes, and finally ended up fighting on the same bed.
So naturally, some eighteen-forbidden things happened.
Due to the wild nature of the process, when the two of them left, the sheets, quilts and pillows were basically torn to pieces, and even the walls and the wooden boards at the head of the bed were full of scratches. .
It was not until late at night that Bruce Wayne dragged his exhausted body back to the secret base-the Batcave.
Just as he was applying medicine to himself and walking towards the bedroom with no shirt on, he suddenly found that the living room was brightly lit, and his old housekeeper was talking and laughing with someone.
Out of curiosity, he immediately stepped in. As a result, he noticed at first sight the man who looked very similar to himself, but his face was just a little older.
Similarly, the Bat Demon also saw his past self in this timeline.
In an instant!
The entire living room became silent.
"Are you the me that Barry Allen mentioned in another timeline?" Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes and probed carefully.
"Yes, it's me. Nice to meet you."
The Bat Demon smiled and nodded and extended his right hand in a friendly manner.
"Nice to meet you too. So the other timeline didn't really disappear, right? I heard that you also successfully transformed Gotham into one of the safest cities in the world."< br>
Bruce Wayne is undoubtedly full of interest in his other self.
If nothing else, just by being able to successfully transform Gotham, there is a lot of experience to learn from.
After all, in the timeline he is in, although the security situation in Gotham has improved significantly from the beginning, graft, corruption, and rampant gangs are still stubborn diseases that cannot be solved.
No matter how many people are arrested and thrown into jail, more people will pop up to take over, as if forming some kind of symbiotic relationship with the entire city.
"That's right.
Thanks to Mr. Soth's intervention, that timeline has been turned into a parallel world.
As for transforming Gotham, it is actually the source of Since a riot swept through Gotham, it destroyed the government, law enforcement agencies and everything in the past, so the new Gotham was basically rebuilt on the ruins."
The Bat Demon didn't mean to take any credit, but acted very humble, as if he only played an insignificant role in it.
"Destruction? Rebirth!"
Bruce Wayne keenly grasped the two key words, and also understood why his other self could successfully transform Gotham.
As the saying goes, nothing can be established without destruction.
Only by destroying and destroying everything that was originally there, can Gotham truly be reborn from the ashes.
It's a pity that he can't do this, let alone sit back and watch those madmen and criminals do this.
Because many innocent civilians will die miserably in this process.
But fortunately, Bruce Wayne did not dwell too much on this issue, but quickly turned his attention to Zuo Si, with strong curiosity in his eyes.
“How do you turn a branched timeline into a parallel world?”
“It’s very simple, I used the observer effect in quantum mechanics.”
Zuo Si gave the answer with a smile.
