What bad intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 438 The inevitable fate of the Dark Multiverse Batman... the first step of depravity!

You know... the darkest secrets.

Those uppermost, golden worlds. They are the center of everything.

They produce the most precious thing in the entire DC universe: superheroes who never fail.

When the Mother of the Multiverse [Pafetua] created the DC universe, she made the DC multiverse into a system that was constantly in crisis and could regenerate itself, so that she could constantly absorb the crisis energy generated in the DC multiverse.

Even though she was later betrayed by her three sons, [World Forger], [Monitor], and [Anti-Monitor], and used herself and her army as materials to create the Origin Wall, sealing her in the wall forever.

But this set of underlying operating logic of the DC universe still survives.

Therefore, crises occur one after another, such as Emerald Twilight, Death of Superman, Knightfall...

And the timeline is restarted again and again, such as Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Flashpoint Reboot...

But the DC universe will always continue, no matter how huge and terrifying the crisis is, the multiverse has its own immune system at the beginning:

Superheroes.

Crisis is like a disease, and superheroes are like an immune system that destroys the disease. So far, no one has ever been able to destroy this immune system, not even the once-heyday Superboy Prime or the Anti-Monitor, the Inspector Hal, they can't do it.

They are all suppressed and defeated by this immune system of the multiverse, and Superboy Prime even becomes enemies with thousands of heroes.

And super villains are like vaccines for superheroes. They exercise the power of superheroes, temper their courage and wisdom, and are also indispensable members of the DC universe.

Of course, there are also some single-universe superheroes in the multiverse who choose to kill those villains, such as Batman of Earth 51, but later that universe was generally weaker because the superheroes did not get training from the villains, so they were destroyed by threats from outside the universe.

But overall, this immune system maintains the operation of the DC universe, and there has never been any mistakes for so many years, but it is worth noting that...

This immune system will only protect those important universes, those universes that will affect the safety of the entire multiverse once they are destroyed.

And the dark multiverse?

What is that?

The immune system never cares about those.

The eldest son of the mother of the multiverse [Papetua] [World Forger] is responsible for the casting of new universes one after another in the World Forge.

The stable universes created by him will be retained, while the unstable universes will be destroyed by his dragons. After those unstable universes are destroyed, the energy that constitutes the universe will return to the World Forge...

Things should be like this.

So, since those unstable universes are all going to be destroyed, why should the "immune system" called superheroes go to the trouble of protecting a universe that is destined to be destroyed?

However, for some reason, these unstable universes that should have been destroyed were not destroyed. They were quietly preserved by a certain existence and hidden on the back of the multiverse.

And these so-called "unstable" universes are what we live in now...

The dark multiverse.

So, do you understand?

We are residue, mistakes, and problems.

Our world is a low-level world, deformed and broken, one of many worlds destined to corrupt and sink.

It's all because of that light, the light from the upper world. No wonder countless Batmans, no matter what sacrifices they made, could not save it.

Where the light is, things are beautiful and complete, and there, life thrives, but the price of their prosperity is those low-level worlds, such as our world.

We rot and then fall, and it survives. We suffer, and it grows.

The multiverse will not protect us. Every dark multiverse, no matter how many times he has hoped, how much it seems to be developing in a good direction...

Their final fate, the fate of all beings in the entire dark multiverse, is only one.

That is complete destruction.

And the beginning of destruction...

You know, except for those worlds that are so unstable that they are extremely crazy and twisted from the beginning, most of the dark multiverses that are slightly more stable but destined to collapse, their destruction often begins with the fall of a superhero.

Maybe Superman, maybe Wonder Woman, maybe...

Batman.

Many, many years ago.

Earth-11.

The future [Drowned] sat in the Batcave.

She thought: "In order to stop the Atlantean invasion of the land... I am afraid I must kill Aquaman... Although I never kill people... I am afraid I must make an exception to stop the Atlanteans."

So the [Drowned] won.

And the price... is a flooded world.

Earth-32.

Bruce Wayne decided to kill the murderer of his parents on the spot.

Earth-52.

Batman decided to reverse the past history.

Earth-44.

Batman decided to resurrect Alfred.

Earth-12.

Batman believes he can resist the corruption of Ares' helmet.

Earth-1.

Batman decides to create a potion that can turn him into Doomsday, so that he can kill Superman when necessary.

Earth-22.

Batman decides to kill the Joker.

A dark multiverse.

"Batman... are you really going to follow my plan completely... so easily?"

Night Owl sat in his owl hole, secretly watching Batman.

He gently stroked his chin, his heavy armored palm rubbing on his slightly growing stubble, and then stroking the non-existent beard.

"You saw through my plan... even if I controlled the information revealed to Nightwing, you saw through at least part of it."

"And you who saw through all this... are you really not going to struggle anymore? Really..."

Night Owl slowly spoke, he whispered to himself: "It makes me a little disgusted."

But I don't know what's going on...

Why do you feel relieved? Why do you feel disappointed?

Why do people who have given up hope a long time ago feel disappointed when they see others give up as well?

Why would someone who has already jumped into the mud without hesitation feel sad when seeing others jumping down?

Ah...

Really...

Sad.

The fall of an upright hero is as harmful as poisoning public well water.

"Well, since you have cooperated with me so well, I'll help you to prevent you from changing your mind."

Night Owl muttered: "It can be regarded as helping you to relieve a little guilt."

Then he paused and whispered: "It's also helping myself."

...

...

...

Antarctica.

Located in the base of Superman Clark Kent, in the Fortress of Solitude, a huge machine with Kryptonian technology is surrounded by a silver-white interior.

When Superman Clark Kent opened his eyes, he saw Batman's pointed ears like a cat appearing upside down in his field of vision, followed by the other party's somewhat happy voice:

"You are awake! The operation was successful."

"You are a superhero again."

"Really?" Clark asked.

He was very happy, so he looked at the wall next to him. He felt that just as Batman said, he had endless energy. Then his eyes turned red, and hot eyes came out of his eyes——

Not a drop of water came out.

"This is a gradual process." He heard Batman say: "Your superpowers have been suppressed by the Doomsday spores for too long. As long as you give it time and get more sun, your biological position will slowly recover."

"Great." Clark said: "I will be able to help soon..."

Then he heard Chen Tao's voice: "This is secondary. The point is... cough."

"The Life Code extracted from your body."

"What's wrong with the Life Code?"

"...Look for yourself."

Clark took the thing that looked like half a small beehive in Batman's hand without knowing why...

Then he realized what he saw the next second.

"Life Code."

"That's right," Chen Tao said: "But I advise you to take a closer look."

"I don't understand."

Chen Tao took the Life Code from Superman Clark Kent in front of him, and then silently inserted it into the Krypton machine next to him.

What are you thinking about? You haven't restored your superpowers to microscopic vision yet. What's the point of just staring at things?

Clark quickly read the information fed back to him by the machine.

"Did my father Jor-El castrate the Code of Life?"

"Yes, your father made a huge tampering with the Code of Life. I guess your father's political stance must be a staunch anti-government person."

"..."

"He retained the genes of the Kryptonians, but reduced the Kryptonians who could be created through these genes. Kryptonians like General Zod, who are like worker ants and perform their duties in Kryptonian society."

"Look at this." Chen Tao's head turned into a rapid bullet, and then read the Kryptonian text projected by the Kryptonian computer:

"Krypton's move to reproduce offspring through cloning technology will be completely terminated in my generation. Every Kryptonian can give birth to new life through natural pregnancy. The previous laws have been broken forever. This is also the first time that Krypton has gained true freedom after so many years..."

Clark covered his head.

"Don't even think about creating a half-Kryptonian baby with this thing. Now the Kryptonians are completely extinct. Your father was really cruel." Chen Tao said.

"So now the problem comes." Clark hugged his super brain, intending to activate his amazing wisdom, and then found that due to long-term inactivity and loss of superpowers, there was nothing in his mind except dating with Lois Lane and breastfeeding.

As a superhero, under the premise of retirement and no super villains to fight, his strength has degenerated.

But for Superman, this degradation will soon allow him to adapt and evolve back, but not now.

"I'll take care of this matter."

He saw Batman stand up: "Take good care of yourself."

A few dozen minutes later, on the other side.

"You want to meet with General Zod?" Chen Tao looked at the Supergirl in front of him. "How did you come up with this idea?" This is very strange. You know, he has been preventing Supergirl from having any connection with General Zod. After all, unlike Superman who has never lived on Krypton for a day, they are both survivors of Krypton. "Someone left me a message on my computer. He told me about the existence of General Zod." Supergirl told the truth: "The message told me that General Zod wants to see me." "So you just woke up from the hospital bed and came to me eagerly, wanting to meet General Zod?" Chen Tao looked at Supergirl. He knew that the message was wrong, but guess what? Some of Night Owl's plans, if they can help him... Why should he stop it? So a few dozen minutes later. Chen Tao watched Supergirl coldly as General Zod called her a compatriot and got everything she knew out of her. "My father once thought of taking a city to drift in the universe. He put Argonne in a protective shield and took the entire city to drift in the universe... He did a good job! They persisted for a long time, but we came too late. Now everyone in this city is dead... What, you asked me where I was? The location of this city is..." Supergirl cried and was completely manipulated by the experienced General Zod. "Let me tell you." After confirming that Supergirl had told General Zod all the information he knew, Chen Tao interrupted Supergirl and said: "As I told you before, Krypton is completely finished. The Life Code has no way to create a new Krypton. Our previous idea doesn't work." General Zod's eyes were filled with tears. He fell into the cage and slammed his hands on the ground. Chen Tao ignored his sobbing. He couldn't empathize with such sadness. He just said:

"Just let go of your obsession. Now that the Life Code has been extracted, it's not in vain. I can use the Life Code to directly delete the command in your genes to protect the Kryptonians, which is equivalent to a minimally invasive surgery. This thing has only been deleted by Jor-El to create new Kryptonians, and there is no need to worry about the other contents."

"You should serve your sentence well, be a good person when you get out, and live peacefully on Earth. Clark can live on Earth, so can you. The same is true for Fiora and Ek."

As Chen Tao spoke, he looked at General Zod's expression coldly.

His face was filled with deep sorrow, his head lowered, as if pierced by an illusory sharp thorn. However, when he heard that there were so many Kryptonian corpses, his eyes suddenly shone.

And in Chen Tao's eyes, there was also... an elusive light flashing.
