What bad intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 178 The End and the Beginning (End)

I am Bane.

Perhaps someone would have thought that Bane is very likely a person who never gives up.

Perhaps someone would have thought that Bane is very likely to be hiding his strength and deliberately obeying Batman's orders, just to fight back at the last moment.

And in fact... Bane really wants to do this.

Once.

Brainiac fell to the ground.

"You..."

He turned his head and looked at Bane.

"You took the initiative to let me read your memory." He said with difficulty: "You really wanted to cooperate with me and betray Batman at that time."

"Your memory is true and your thoughts are firm and vicious. Such memories cannot be forged by anyone."

Because that's what I think.

Bane thought silently.

He really wanted to cooperate with Brainiac at that time and stab Batman from the back.

"What made you change your mind?"

Brainiac asked: "Why did you... Ahhh!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the scream that he made uncontrollably.

Half of his body fell to the ground with a click like a dissolved candle.

"Delaying time is useless, Brainiac. Boring questions will not change your ending." Wonder Woman helped Batman up, and Chen Tao, who was too weak to stand up, stood in front of Brainiac. He felt that the world was a little blurry, and the other party's voice seemed to come through heavy fog. "The fact is that I am standing and you are falling, Brainiac." Brainiac did not speak. "Don't waste your energy. You also have Doomsday's spores hidden in your organic body, right? For you, this body can be completely discarded, so there is no need to worry about becoming Doomsday permanently." "You are not a life that relies on the brain to exist. Whether it is a physical body or a mechanical body, it is a harbor for you to live in, and it is also a shackle that is trapped. Even if this body is turned into stone by Doomsday's spores, you can still control it." Chen Tao quietly watched Brainiac struggling constantly, trying to maintain the balance of his body in the total explosion of four natural energies, but in vain. "My blockade of your mind can't always work. As long as you get rid of us and then transfer your thoughts back to your spaceship, it will be fine, right?"

Poof!

A large mass of metal exploded from Brainiac's body again, with faint traces of rotten meat, bones and a hint of green mixed in it.

This is the normal result of the four natural energies coming together, and it is also the consequence if the natural energies on the earth fail to balance each other.

Spiritual energy, physical chemical energy, and spiritual power, everything has become nutrition, which is constantly absorbed by the four forces, and then knocks out the dog brain in his body.

"Why?"

Brainiac looked at Bane, one of his eyeballs had been blown up by the swollen black of decay, bulging out like a frog's eye.

"Your memory, your motivation, I analyzed your behavior pattern, and through repeated verification, I came to the conclusion that you will never help Batman."

"He broke your back! He used Clayface to fool you like a fool!"

"And you are willing to help him?!"

"Why?"

But Brainiac knew that he might never get an answer.

His mouth was severely deformed, half of his face began to melt, and he completely lost his ability to speak.

"Why..."

He saw Bane lower his head slightly, looking at his hands with some disappointment, then turned his head and looked at Batman.

His expression was deep and solemn.

At this moment, he and Batman were obviously close, but it seemed like they were standing on both sides of a turbulent river.

Brainiac looked at the two of them.

He knew that Batman was ready to deal with Bane. Maybe it was that strange power, or maybe the other party had done something when strengthening Bane.

How ridiculous.

There was a mocking look in Brainiac's eyes. Batman never trusted anyone. He was always ready to murder his teammates in various ways.

How unwilling! It was so unwilling.

Things shouldn't be like this. He shouldn't be the loser!

He is Brainiac. He has been in countless galaxies...

Forget it.

Recalling the past is of no help to the present. Brainiac suddenly felt a sense of boredom. Everything in front of him suddenly lost its meaning to him.

"Because I am Bane. Because I am human."

He heard the answer he had been thinking about, but even at this moment, such an answer lost its meaning to him.

Brainiac felt that his thinking was gradually stopping.

This actually gave him a kind of fear, which was like the softest morning breeze rippling in his heart.

"No. Don't. Someone come to save me."

But even with such fear, all Brainiac could feel now was numbness and endless emptiness.

That sense of emptiness came over him, making his soul tremble.

It is difficult to describe this feeling in words. It is like the loneliness of knowing that death is imminent but not knowing what to do. Even the loneliness that cannot be dispelled by fear gnaws at his heart, but makes him look forward to a good sleep.

Brainiac found that he could speak again. The four powers faded from his body, but he knew very well that this meant that his mental and physical energy had been sucked out of his bones and marrow by these fighting forces, just like the vitality of cancer patients has been completely absorbed by cancer cells, and only on the last day of life.

So, at the end of everything, he regained the ability to speak again.

"I don't understand." Brainiac said: "I control life, I hold life in my hands."

"I don't know how to describe this feeling in the language of the earth..." Brainiac said: "...but I am not wrong."

At the last moment, the collector who shocked thousands of worlds actually said such simple words.

"Nothing I did was wrong, and everything I did was meaningful." He emphasized again: "I, Brainiac, am not meaningless."

"I am protecting life." He said: "I continued those lives that should have been extinct. I let them compete with nature, I saved them, and arranged everything for them."

Then he heard the other party's rebuttal:

"Life cannot be controlled, and cannot be locked in a bottle."

"This spaceship is life! Countless planets and countless sectors of life are protected here by me. I properly place them and eliminate their inferior genes, so that they can have a longer history here than they do in nature!" Brainiac said, and he shouted at Batman: "I am right! Right! This is my meaning!"

"This spaceship has no life, Brainiac, this spaceship is just your bottle."

Brainiac was slightly dazed for a while.

He stared at Batman's eyes and saw pity in his eyes.

Suddenly, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart. In his long life of several centuries, he had never experienced such emotions.

"Save me!" The super AI said to Batman, "I shouldn't... I shouldn't end here. I haven't fully found the meaning of my existence." He wanted to reach out to Batman, but he couldn't feel his hand at this time. He lowered his head and saw his palms and lower body, like weathered rotten wood. "How sad, Brainiac." He heard the other party say, "I thought you would hold on to the end." Brainiac saw Wonder Woman fly out of the spaceship, and he knew that the other party was going to destroy the missiles he was about to launch to destroy the earth. So Brainiac took a last look at his spaceship, the worlds he collected, the worlds he was extremely attached to. "You... You can't take these cities away from my biological shell... Their position cannot be maintained." "Thanks for the reminder." He heard Batman say. Brainiac was silent. He suddenly sat up straight, and the price was that his lower body turned into powder like crushed charcoal. "My collection, everything I have, now they are all yours." Brainiac said: "Okay... treat them well." "They will go back to where they should go." He heard Batman say: "I will properly place them." At this time, Brainiac and Batman no longer looked like tit-for-tat enemies, but like two old men sitting in the square park chatting. "And I will also target the mechanical army you left in the Red of All Living Things, the big-headed doll left in the Bat Cave, and the robot that fought with Bane outside before." Brainiac heard Batman say: "I will never give you a chance to resurrect." Brainiac's eyes dimmed again for a while. "Thank you." He said. "And." He said: "Darkseid, the dark lord Darkseid is coming to Earth. Continue to protect your world from Darkseid's hands, Batman. This is the meaning of your existence, your destiny." His eyes looked at Chen Tao, and it was difficult for Chen Tao to read his true attitude from his eyes. Is it resentment? Is it disappointment? Is it relief, or is it gloating? "My meaning should not be determined by..."

But Chen Tao did not have the chance to let Brainiac hear the rest of his words.

The second after he finished saying that, the Collector of the Universe fell to the ground with his head tilted up, and his body was scattered into dust, covering every corner of his spaceship.

Even in death, Brainiac did not leave his spaceship.

"It's over."

Chen Tao said.

[Warning, warning, Batman, you have found the anchoring object: Brainiac's ashes]

[Introduction: The ashes left by Brainiac after his complete death, which carry Brainiac's desire to find the meaning of life. Brainiac has been trying to define himself throughout his life, rather than being defined by others. You may be able to use it to summon the Batman of a parallel universe. ]

[But, can the existence that is summoned due to self-definition be something real? ]

【“I am Brainiac. I control life, I control everything!”】

【Crisis Energy Converted: 319】

【Warning! Downloading files that can target Batman! 】

【Bat-Brainiac】

【Danger Level: A-】

【In a dark multiverse, Batman, who had played all his cards, failed to defeat Brainiac, so he used his last card: merging with Brainiac. Therefore, the old Brainiac and the old Batman disappeared, and only Bat-Brainiac existed here】

Chen Tao was not in the mood to read Brainiac’s diary at this time.

He turned his head and looked at Superman.

At this time, Clark had completely escaped from Brainiac’s control. He stood on the ground, wearing a Superman uniform, looking at Batman with a smile and tears.

"Batman!"

"What's wrong, Superman?"

"I lost my powers. I'm no longer Superman."

"What do you mean?"

"My Kryptonian physique disappeared." Clark said: "My Kryptonian physique, along with the Doomsday spores that I cleared with you--"

He said: "It disappeared together."

...

"After being attacked by the infamous treasure hunter known as Black Manta, local lighthouse manager Thomas Curry was rushed to the emergency room..."

"Recently, Thomas Curry denied marine biologist Stephen Shen's claim that his son was an Atlantean..."

"But in a world where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman exist, stranger things have been confirmed..."

Deep sea.

Arthur opened his eyes, and his father's dying voice echoed in his mind.

"How could he do this?"

"Arthur, you only need to do one thing after I die..."

"No, Dad..."

"Tell him I've been waiting for her, I've been, always..."

Arthur looked at the man in front of him and heard his voice:

"My king. Please follow me."

...

"Superman was once the most powerful superhero in the world, but he has been missing for more than two months."

The man in front of him tore down the poster of Superman hanging in the air, and behind the poster, Barry Allen posed with the same powerful posture as Superman.

He saw the man in front of him turn his head and look at him: "I need to test whether you can be as great as Superman."

...

Victor Stone was sitting in his football locker room, and his father still didn't come to his game.

But at this time, the door creaked.

He turned his head with hope. But it was just a little boy who came in.

"Hey, hello, is this Victor Stone?"

The little boy seemed very excited: "Great, I'm your fan, my name is Billy."

He ran to Victor Stone happily: "Can you sign for me?"

Cyborg did so.

"Your family will be proud of you." He heard the other party say.

……

Apocalypse.
