The Knights of the DC House

At 11 o'clock at night, there are still 12 hours before Ke Wen meets Nora Allen. The space watchtower, the Justice League headquarters, and the long-silent sound blast channel of the watchtower also light up at this moment. The number was reported.

【Batman,a02】

As this electronic sound sounded, Batman's figure also appeared in the watchtower, which was supposed to be the monthly gathering of members of the Justice League. But now it is empty, but this shouldn't be. Because here In the watchtower, there is one of Batman's most trustworthy members of the Justice League guarding him. Like Superman, he is a Martian Manhunter from the extinct planet and Martian civilization, Ron Rontz.

He is as powerful as normal Superman and has a strategy on par with Batman. It can be said that Martian Manhunter is a combination of the advantages of Superman and Batman. Coupled with powerful mental control capabilities, such a member sits in the watchtower. , Batman is the most at ease. But from the moment Batman entered the watchtower, Martian Manhunter did not appear in front of him, frowning, Batman also walked in the watchtower, and then stopped at a cell. .

Looking at the empty chains in the cell, Batman frowned even deeper. Because here, a New God criminal from Apokolips was imprisoned. Before he officially started trouble in Manhattan, he worked with the New God Mantis from Apokolips to cause trouble in Central City. The new god of Apokolips is subordinate to the kind grandmother of the new god of Apokolips. In the Nemesis team, there is a female warrior of Apokolips named Zhongtao. However, in the memory modified by Manhattan, it was originally composed of Ke Wen and Wally. The ones captured became Wally and The Flash.

It doesn't matter. The problem now is that the female warrior of Apokolips named Heavy Step is missing. Also missing is his teammate, Martian Manhunter. Especially when Batman sees the pool of blood on the floor of the cell, His heart suddenly jumped, and he squatted down, sprinkled a little magnesium powder from the universal belt around his waist, and then ignited it. The flame burned on the blood, but Batman also noticed that there was no change in the blood, which made him let go of some of his worries. .

Because Martian Manhunter has a weakness, that is, he is afraid of fire, which is a psychological disease rooted in him. It can be said that Martian Manhunter is not afraid of fire at all, but his experience of genocide and his powerful mental control ability have given him His brain has built a psychological weakness that is afraid of fire. And this psychological weakness that can even deceive his own consciousness is fed back to Martian Manhunter himself. Once contaminated with fire, his body and his consciousness will suffer from various situations. , even if it is separated from the body.

At this time, the pool of blood in front of Batman did not change color due to the flames. Operations such as deformation at least indicate that Martian Manhunter was attacked in a very sudden situation and had no way to react. He was subdued, and the guy who subdued Martian Manhunter was not targeting Martian Manhunter, but the female warrior of Apokolips who was imprisoned here.

"Did Apokolips move his hand? Ron, this is not your style. There must be something you want to tell me."

Standing up and looking around, Batman also said to himself that he did not believe that Martian Manhunter would be taken away without leaving any clues. With this thought, Batman continued to stand in the watchtower. Searching for information, he came to the central computer of the watchtower. After entering a specific password, he began to check the situation of the entire watchtower. Soon, he found the clues that Martian Manhunter wanted to give him in the computer. .

"Have you been searching for clues about the so-called woman with the same name as Blake? This is the answer you left behind to give me. Thanks, Ron."

At this time, on the computer screen, a black-and-white photo taken during World War II in the last century was also displayed in front of Batman. A female warrior took a photo with several soldiers, and behind them, in the background, were people burned by the war.

Berlin was devastated and the flag was planted. The other one was a photo taken at a museum exhibition a few years ago. It was also the female warrior. Both black and white and color were the same person, and in the photo, there was also

One name: Myrina Black.

The same appearance spans a century. This situation is too rare. But it is also consistent with the previous situation. There are women who are responsible for serial murders all over the world, and their names are Black. And the woman in front of me has received honor.

After checking, he has been active for more than a century, or even longer, and is still young, so he has mastered some unknown secrets. After getting the clues left by Martian Manhunter, Batman also started thinking about it.

"So, how will she hide in this society now, technology? No, there are too many clues about technology, so there are only magic, female warriors, ageless appearance, and the same bracelet she wears on Paradise Island

, Amazon female warrior, it seems I need to contact Diana."

Based on the information Martian Manhunter left for him, Batman also deduced from these two photos that the woman named Myrina Black was an Amazon female warrior and also possessed considerable magic. But the magic itself is very important to

As far as Batman is concerned, it is a relatively obscure subject, but his wife is familiar with this subject. After confirming that Martian Manhunter has no other clues left for him, Batman does not intend to stay in the watchtower any longer.

He walked towards the sonic blast tunnel in the watchtower and planned to leave from here. However, just when Batman was about to leave through the sonic blast tunnel, he stopped when he was supposed to step into the sonic blast tunnel, his eyes froze and his hands moved.

He waved, blocking the cloak behind him in front of him, and at the same time jumped towards the other side of the sonic blast channel. This set of actions was completed in one go, without any hesitation, and when Batman did this, the sonic blast channel that was supposed to send Batman away

It exploded.

The powerful shock wave, carrying explosive fragments, raged in the watchtower. Even if he avoided it in advance and jumped out of most of the fragments' ejection range at the first time, Batman was not spared. Some of the ejected fragments went directly through the bat.

The Batman's cape and armor were stuck to his body, causing Batman, who was supposed to be hiding in the bunker, to deform in the air and fall to the ground, rolling out blood stains all the way.

And in the wreckage of the blast tunnel, the woman named Gorrell who summoned the Anti-Monitor from Australia stood there, holding a sickle in her hand, her eyes red, looking at the bat lying on the ground.

Xia, smile.

"Is it you, looking for my mother? Batman? No, I should call you, Bruce Wayne~"

Holding a scythe in hand, as the daughter of Darkseid, Gorel appeared in the watchtower at this time. She thought she could arrange Batman through the sonic tunnel. She did not expect that Batman was so alert that he could detect her in the sonic tunnel.

The tricks she did inside did not kill Batman with one blow, which indeed made Gorrell curious, but since Batman was so injured, she didn't mind stepping out and showing him in front of him.

"My name is Gorel, the daughter of Darkseid and the daughter of Myrina Black. It seems that you are nothing more than that, Batman."

Gorel, who was standing there introducing himself, looked at Batman who was stabbed by the debris at this time, and he was also a little proud. A mortal who even Darkseid took seriously was now lying there like a dead dog. A certain

To a certain extent, he surpassed his father Darkseid, who he always wanted to kill, didn't he?

"Garel? Daughter of Darkseid, then everything that happens on Earth is your fault."

"Aren't you the greatest detective in the world? Reason it out while you still have the strength to think."

Walking in front of Batman, he raised his foot and kicked Batman away. When the fragments on his body came into contact with the ground, it caused secondary pain to Batman. At the same time, the scythe blade in Gorel's hand also easily cut through the bat.

The knight's armor left a long wound on his chest.

The pain stimulated Batman's brain. Looking at the red-eyed Gorrell, who claimed to be Darkseid's daughter, his mind was constantly connecting clues. From the beginning, the serial killings of women with the same name by Black happened all over the world.

incident, then to the abnormalities that occurred to the members of the Justice League, and then his own memory was artificially modified, erasing all relevant memories of a certain person, together with the deeds, all of this formed a puzzle in Batman's mind

.

"You are Darkseid's daughter. As far as I know, Darkseid's descendants all want to replace him. I think you are no exception. You want to kill Darkseid. A serial murder of the same name happened on Earth.

The case shows that Darkseid also knows your existence. Your birth was an accident. The hands of Apokolips were to find your mother and to find you, but you and Apokolips are not everything. There are more dangerous existences.

Guide all this! Tell me, who is that existence! His name!"

In his mind, Batman put all the puzzle pieces together, but he still didn't know Dr. Manhattan's name. When he first contacted Kado Yaji, Kado Yaji just said that there was a quantum god watching their actions secretly.

From time to time, he would add a little drama to them, and he did not directly say the name Dr. Manhattan. But based on the information that Batman has compiled now, it is definitely not just Apokolips and the guy in front of him who is causing trouble.

Modifying the memory of reality and erasing all existence of a person in reality is such a delicate matter. Apokolips cannot do it, and Gorel cannot do it alone. If you want to kill Darkseid, there must be someone

An existence comparable to Darkseid. Obviously, there is one in front of Gorel.

"Interesting, interesting. He is indeed Bruce Wayne. He is rated as the most dangerous mortal by Darkseid. Your reasoning is great, but it ends there."

Removing the scythe from Batman's chest, Gorrell also applauded Batman's reasoning. Standing in the watchtower of the Justice League's headquarters, Gorrell also looked at the Earth in space through the porthole, and also

That said.

"What I want to do is indeed to kill Darkseid, and there is also a great being, but you can't see it anymore. In the end, you are just a mortal, a mortal named Bruce Wayne.

Knowing too much will do you no good at all. After all, you can't do anything. Knowing everything like this is just more painful, isn't it? Huh?!"

Gorrell turned around and saw Batman, who had just been stabbed in the body by fragments. He stood up and looked at himself silently. The fragments of debris stuck in his body were still leaking blood and dripping on the floor.

, but Batman didn't say a word, and just stood in front of Gorel like this.

"Interesting, why do you still stand up after this? I really don't understand the use of you, a mortal, holding on like this. You act like you can beat me. Goodbye, Bruce Wayne."

Raising the scythe, Gorrell didn't want to continue talking nonsense to Batman, so he planned to cut Batman's head with the sharp scythe and slashed towards his neck. However, at this time, time seemed to have stopped. It should have been

As expected by Gorel, Batman, who was struck down by his scythe, seemed to teleport into the attack range of his scythe. The fist that came first struck Gorel in the throat. Gorel, who is also of demigod and half-human blood, also

Batman's blow made it difficult to breathe.

'Clang', the sickle in Greer's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp impact sound. He covered his throat with one hand, his vision went black due to difficulty in breathing, and he fell to the ground weakly. But at this time, the second attack came first, and a punch triggered the explosion.

Batman, who was hit and stiffened, stretched out his hand and grabbed Gorel.

"Well, after taking a closer look, your eyes are indeed the same as Darkseid's, exuding the light of destruction. But you are far behind your father. At least Darkseid won't talk too much. He will

Come up and start fighting directly, so this opportunity is given to me by you, and besides, I am Batman!"

Looking at Batman's raised fist, Gorrell, who was still having trouble breathing, had only one question in her mind: Why could he still stand up and hit himself? Then, what greeted her was Batman's fusion of various genres in the world.

Fighting skills, one punch, one palm, one finger, each blow carries a special force-generating technique, which transfers the power into Gorel's body and detonates it in his body.

The strong physique ensures that Gorel will not die in such an attack, but the body structure, which is the same as that of humans, also bears more pain. As a human who has brought his fighting skills to the pinnacle of the DC universe, every step of Batman's life

Every blow made Gorel feel that every muscle in her body was wailing and every nerve in her body was crying, but it was all useless. She could only be forced to accept Batman's continuous blows from Ora.

As the last blow hit Gorel's abdomen, Batman, who used his tenacious will to drive his body to hit this set of combos, also stopped attacking, and Gorel also flew out directly under Batman's combo of blows, hitting him.

In the pile of debris. The only thing Batman can do is to throw out his special batarang, activate the mechanism of the watchtower, and imprison him. After doing all this, Batman standing there can't help but reveal himself.

There was a hint of a smile, and then he lost consciousness and fell to the ground bleeding.

In the empty watchtower, Gorrell, who made a surprise attack on Batman, was beaten unconscious by Batman's explosive attack and was imprisoned. Batman, who was ambushed by Gorrell, also fell there, unconscious and everything

It seemed that the curtain had come to an end here, until a light door opened inside the watchtower. The leader was none other than Metron, who was sitting in the omniscient Mobius chair. Next to him, there were those who had invaded.

Earth, the Justice League counterpart from the parallel universe Earth 3, the Crime Syndicate.

As the evil counterparts of the Justice League, there are only three giants left alive in the Criminal Syndicate, Speedmaster, Night Owl and the pregnant Superwitch. Looking at the situation in the watchtower where both sides are harmed, the three Superpowers also have to deal with Batman's adversary paid tribute.

"He is so seriously injured and can still defeat his opponent. He is really a terrifying person."

"Oh, what does Bruce Wayne's serious injury have to do with Batman? Metron, can we just take Batman away?"

Checking Batman's injuries, Nite Owl also asked the pair of Metrotrons, and Superpower on the side also looked at Gorrell who was knocked down and imprisoned by Batman, his eyes were red, ready to eradicate the root cause at any time.

"Just take Batman away. I seem to have overlooked something. Besides, Speedy, you don't have to think about killing her. The one who cannot be killed is on the way to destroy your world."

"What?! Then why are you still here? Leave quickly!"

As the current omniscient god, Metron naturally knows who is behind Gorel, the Anti-Monitor, a powerful anti-god with the real anti-life equation. But he also noticed what happened on the earth during this period. , it seems that between Apokolips and the Anti-Monitor, there is another existence guiding all of this. The Mobius Chair knows all past and present information, and many things are in his mind.

But he needs someone to sort out this information, and the Batman in front of him is the best candidate. The greatest detective in the world is much better than Night Owl. And just when Metron said that the Earth where the superpower is destroyed is Earth 3 After the existence of the world was on the way, the evil peer of Superman who had regained his strength returned to the cowardly and timid face before, urging Metron to take them away.

"I don't need you to teach me this. All the answers will be revealed soon."

In response to Supermaster's words, Metron, who was sitting on the chair, thought in his mind, and the Mobius Chair left the watchtower with the three criminal syndicate giants and the seriously injured Batman. Similarly, not long after they left , the same portal opened, six black humanoid shadows came out, directly lifted up Gorel, who was imprisoned in the cage and knocked down by Batman, and walked into the portal opened by the Anti-Monitor. What happened? Everything in the watchtower slowly ended.

Similarly, while Ke Wen is waiting to meet Nora Allen to explore the so-called truth, and Barry Allen is also working with the alien drive and the new god of Apokolips, Mantis, to create a world utopia. During this long night, other cities Different actions were also being carried out. Philadelphia, the city where Thunder Shazam is located, is also the place where he fights with alien wizards. A yellow taxi came to this city with a journey of dust.

"Tsk, now you can feel the magic in the air."

Getting off the taxi, it was Constantine, the hell detective who had been commissioned by Zatanna before. As a master of deception and a part-time magic detective, he was concerned about the magical elements in the city due to the frequent filming of Shazam and the Alien Wizard at this time. Being active has a great feeling. As he said this, Constantine also took out a box of Green Arrow chewing gum from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

Since having a goddaughter, Constantine, as his godfather, rarely smokes and uses chewing gum instead.

"This feels very wrong to me, Constantine. I just found out that the aura of the old gods is active here. If I continue to check this place, it always feels like another apocalyptic crisis erupting in silence."

Just when Constantine felt the magic element active in the air, a short figure behind him was also talking about his worries. Through the light, you could see that it was a gorilla wearing clothes and holding a hand.

Smoking a pipe, he looks like Sherlock Holmes. This is an intelligent creature that Constantine knows. An intelligent creature whose reasoning ability is not inferior to that of Batman. His name is Detective Orangutan.

"Doomsday crisis? Haven't there been too many in recent years? That's it. I haven't seen anything. Okay, I don't intend to let you continue to follow me to investigate. At this point, I know how to start. What's next?

Let me talk to you in detail when I go to your bar."

Regarding the detective orangutan's concerns, Constantine looked indifferent, waved his hand, and motioned for his friend to drive away.

"John, don't die."

The car window was rolled down, Constantine had tricked him, and a hundred life strengths were superimposed. His friend Chas, who could not die, also said something to Constantine.

"Don't worry, if I die, hell will break out for me. Then, no matter what kind of gods there are in this city, they will have a headache. Ha, help me say good night to my goddaughter."

Constantine turned around gracefully, put his hands in his pockets, and began to wander around the city of Philadelphia with his depressed, tired and somewhat dashing face. He wanted to find out who the god who was stationed in this city was.

If you don't understand the person's origins and don't grasp their character, it will be a little more difficult to trick them. In order to avoid this kind of trouble, it's better to be more cautious.

As for the taxi that brought Constantine here, it also left with the orangutan who could only speak human language. Philadelphia, a city protected by Thunder Shazam, also followed the arrival of Constantine, the hell detective.

, coupled with the alien wizard, the new god of Apokolips lurking among them, and the three old gods of Zeus from Greece, the situation suddenly became mysterious. A fight between man and man, man and god, and god and god.

It started on this dark night.

In the central city, Ke Wen, who had rested for a day and adjusted himself to the best state, also woke up when the sun shone into the room. After getting up, Ke Wen, who had finished washing, looked at the itinerary written on the calendar and also

After sorting himself out and confirming that everything was correct, he went out. Before leaving, Ke Wen looked back at the apartment where he now lived for some unknown reason.

"I always feel that once I go, I will no longer live here. It's really strange. So, what do I want to tell myself? Today, please give me an answer, Ms. Nora Allen."

Looking at the sticky note he kept in his hand, Ke Wen also smiled. After finishing speaking, he drove his mediocre Cetron tank and set off towards the agreed place.
