The Death Knell

Just as the death knell in Crime Alley continued to teach Bruce about detective ideas, a red light suddenly struck above his head, like lightning cutting through the night or like blood-stained sunlight.

But just before the light was about to hit him, two small black tentacles raised a bat caught from under the street lamp, blocking the path of the light.

The poor little animal twisted for a while, even its wings fell off, and then turned into white powder.

Su Ming raised his head and looked at the roof of the building with a smile. Sure enough, the emperor also knew this.

"It's so sad. I've obviously told you how I cracked the entropy rift, but you still dare to attack me where there are bats? Alas... you are really a fool and can't be saved."

"Damn it!"

The emperor cursed secretly, turned around and wanted to fly away. Since the sneak attack failed, of course he knew that Deathstroke was no match for him in a head-on confrontation.

As the time flow clones are being eliminated one by one, he will feel something more or less. Even if it seems to him that the death knell has been chasing him here, the previous setbacks have made him lose confidence.

The next second, Deathstroke suddenly appeared in front of him with a ray of light, and stopped him with a sweep of the giant sword in his hand.

"I actually knew where you were all along, and I deliberately led you to Crime Alley just to see if you had any other cards that I could use, but you let me down."

In the dark night, the coat on Deathstroke squirmed and turned into black and yellow armor, and the red diamond-shaped eyepiece suddenly lit up:

"Your Death Package has arrived, but before sending you to meet death, can you tell me the details of your deal with Darkseid? Yes, the existence of Snowflake and zombies has formed a clue that spans time. , a zombie crisis and a sudden snowfall occurred on Earth 12 in the future, and you chose the 'Blackest Night' full of zombies to launch your plan. There can't be so many coincidences."

"Don't expect to know anything from me, you can't kill me! I am immortal... No, no, what did you do? Why does time flow..."

The emperor didn't know what operations he performed on his armor, but after a few seconds, facing the approaching death knell, his attitude changed from arrogance to fear.

"Why are the time streams reunited? You want to ask this, I understand." The strangled body tissue behind Deathstroke surged out like a black tide, sealing the sky and ground of the entire battlefield: "It's not my fault that you don't understand, Because you don’t know what the title of Supreme Mage means, and I know the timeline far better than you do, so you’re playing this game? It’s really asking for your own death.”

To be honest, if the emperor plays the power of order and takes the path of magic system, he may become stronger.

Because the concept of dimensions is added to the time battle, and even the existence of gods and demons is dragged into it, Deathstroke will have to spend more effort to deal with different time fragments.

But there was no such thing as the emperor was too arrogant. He thought that he was invincible, a person from the future, and the final fate of War Eagle.

And this arrogance made him give up his pursuit of transcendence.

"It's useless, haha, I will come back." While the symbiote penetrated the seven orifices along the gaps in the armor, the emperor also knew that he was hopeless, but he still said the harsh words and announced that he would eventually Return.

With his sword in his hand, Su Ming simply chopped off his head, letting the strangulation lick his brains, and then said to the headless corpse lying on the ground:

"Of course I know how to eradicate it. Just like you know that the existence of War Eagle is your hope, I like to kill other people's hopes. As for intelligence, the same goes for reading it from your brain."

Su Ming chopped the body into pieces and jumped off the small building. When he left, Lori protected little Bruce.

"Is it over?" Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something, turned away and said with a guilty conscience: "If you said that you have to go to different timelines to deal with Mo Cun, then I won't go, my head hurts. Change yourself to someone else.”

"How can there be different timelines on Earth 12 now?" Deathstroke shook off the blood on the sword and put it back in his pocket: "I have taken back all the time loops that I escaped from, and we only need a gentle push next .”

"Oh? Then you just asked about the relationship between the Emperor and Darkseid. Did you find anything?"

The girl who has super hearing by imitating Superman covers Bruce's ears. There are some things that he cannot know now.

Deathstroke took out some snacks and an ordinary military dagger from his pocket, handed it to the boy with a confused look on his face, and asked Lori to let go:

"Let's solve the silent problem first, and then talk about Darkseid. I probably have some ideas."

Lori nodded, pinched Bruce's face again, smiled and touched his head: "We are leaving, Bruce, you will become a great person, don't give up on pursuing the truth."

"Fly away? Who attacked you just now, and who are you..."

The boy who was playing with the dagger with his head lowered felt the warmth on his face, but when he raised his head, both of them disappeared.

Bruce tilted his mouth and fell into silence again, but he felt that it was very handsome when others suddenly disappeared while they were talking. If there was a chance in the future, he would come and go without a trace.

After thinking about it this way, he took a deep breath of cigarette and strengthened his determination to become a detective.

Then he tightened his grip on the dagger and let his parents' bodies rest on his young shoulders.

He will not let similar tragedies happen to others again. Even if he sacrifices himself, he must protect important things...

.............................

"I see, I asked why I always feel that something is wrong with Batman on Earth 12. It turns out that we are always facing Bruce!"

Reappearing at a sunny time, Luo Rui knocked her palm with her small fist, and finally came back to her senses.

Under normal circumstances, Batman is Batman and Bruce is Bruce. Their personalities are split and they can even be regarded as two people.

And this Batman, because Deathstroke intervened at a critical moment, made another seemingly meaningless gag, but in fact it made Bruce understand how the game between humans is played.

In other words, the moment the Bat personality was born, it merged with the main personality. The Batman of Earth 12 is Bruce Wayne. They have always been the same person.

"You're right." Deathstroke smiled, and the armor on his body turned into casual clothes: "The gunshots in Crime Alley tore Bruce's soul apart. Every fragment of his soul should have disappeared forever, or been pieced together again. A pair of wings, and he became a demon that could only be forged by the fire of hell. But I lent him a fire to light a cigarette, and he felt the warmth of other human beings, and that changed."

Smoking and drinking, eating and drinking, having fun, and emotions are all things that make it easy for people to feel that they are still alive as a secular person.

"Is this a good thing?" Lori was a little unsure, at least she hadn't heard of any parallel world Batman being like this before.

Deathstroke shrugged and led her out of the alley and towards the ice cream stall next to the park: "It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Won't he live a good life in the future? Why don't you think about what flavor you want to eat? Vanilla Or chocolate?”
