Chapter 1770 S Apocalypse Event (38)
Chapter 1744 S Apocalypse Event (Thirty-Eight)
Bruce Wayne is dead.
This is not even a very shocking news. Bruce's death is also unremarkable. He was hungry and dragged his body to escape. He was found before he even ran to the factory gate. The security guard threw him to the ground. The back of his head hit the ground and Bruce immediately lost consciousness.
In the next few rebirths, Bruce didn't even live for half a day. He was either reborn directly at the scene of the firefight or was dying at the beginning. He didn't even have the ability to move. He could only survive for a few long hours and then die.
This was his eleventh rebirth. When he woke up, Bruce found that his arm was extremely painful. The smell of blood penetrated his nasal cavity, making him want to vomit more and more.
He lay on the bed and felt that his whole body was falling apart... Wait, there is a bed here?
Little Bruce turned his head with great effort and saw a dirty mattress. Suddenly, a tempting fragrance came from the side. Little Bruce tried to open his eyes and looked to the side. He saw a faint hot steam coming out from above a bowl with a chip.
Appetite drove him to sit up with all his strength, but he failed. It was not until a pair of hands supported his injured arm that little Bruce was able to lean against the head of the bed.
He looked up and saw an ordinary-looking boy stirring the soup in the bowl with a large spoon in his hand. Little Bruce swallowed his saliva, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't speak.
The bowl of soup was handed to him.
Little Bruce stared at the soup bowl with a greedy look that made him feel ashamed. The boy took the spoon away and little Bruce brought the bowl to his mouth and drank a big mouthful of hot soup.
It tasted bad, sweet, salty and sticky, but at least it was hot, with a layer of grease floating on it. Little Bruce had never drunk soup from a bowl in his life, but after the first mouthful of soup, he was like a starving ghost, and he finished the whole bowl of soup in big mouthfuls, squeezing out a satisfied sigh from the depths of his throat.
Putting down the bowl of soup, little Bruce found that the boy in front of him was looking at him with a focused gaze, without any exploration, so it was more like an instinctive neurotic focus.
"Thank... Thank you." Little Bruce tried to make a sound, but it didn't work. Fortunately, the boy should have understood his lip shape, nodded and turned away.
"Wait, where are you going?" Little Bruce thought he would say such words, but in fact, what came out of his mouth was just a series of slightly undulating howls. He coughed heavily twice, and then found that the sputum he coughed out was bloody.
The boy turned back and looked at him and said, "How many times have you been reborn?"
Little Bruce froze immediately. He stared at the boy in front of him, surprised and alert for a moment. He just wanted to speak, and the person opposite said, "Every resurrection will consume your soul energy. Although you can't feel it now, once your consciousness returns to your body, the soul energy consumed will be deducted."
Little Bruce had a bad premonition, so he asked with his mouth, "What will happen if it is deducted to zero?"
"You will die."
The boy still looked at him with that focused look and said, "This game is fairer than you think, because everyone, including us who planned all this, has participated in the game and follows the same rules as you. Once the soul energy is exhausted, you will die completely in your dream."
Little Bruce had too many questions to ask, but he knew that he only had one last chance to ask questions, so he tried to make a sound and asked, "...What does it mean to win?"
"Alive."
After the boy left, Little Bruce lay back on the bed. He thought he was safe for the time being. He really needed some time to sort out his thoughts.
Because of the lack of too much information, Bruce could only take what the boy said just now as true, and then infer that it was he and others who put everyone on Apocalypse into an illusion. No, maybe it was not an illusion. As he said, it was an extremely real dream.
All the people, including the participants, became children in the city of Gotham. When they died for various reasons, they would change their bodies and continue to struggle to survive.
And rebirth is not without cost. The mastermind deducted the energy of their souls in a magical way. The so-called soul energy, as the literal meaning suggests, is probably something that must not be exhausted.
Bruce clenched his fists and thought, he has died ten times, how much soul energy will be deducted? Will he die? Or will he become extremely weak the moment he returns?
Although death is terrifying, the latter is not much better. Bruce has not forgotten that his body is fighting a decisive battle with Darkseid on Apocalypse.
When everyone goes back, he is extremely weak and Darkseid is alive and kicking. How can this battle be fought?
Little Bruce thought again that the boy just now said that this was a fair game, which might be implying that no matter how much power they had in their bodies, they could not use it here.
Little Bruce felt a little depressed. He had just gained powerful strength and was about to fight against the evil alien emperor, but he returned to the starting point and became the little human boy who was powerless to change anything.
But if Darkseid couldn't use special powers, would he have a way to kill him many times in this world, so that he would be reborn again and again, and his soul power would be exhausted and die?
And the Joker...
Thinking of this, little Bruce felt that he had to move. Although this room seemed to be a rare safe place, without water and food, it would be useless to live in a safe place. He had to go out to find survival supplies.
Little Bruce barely climbed up from the bed. He looked down at his arm. The place where he was shot had been bandaged, and the smell of blood was much weaker. The hot food in his stomach gave him a little strength. He had to make some changes quickly while he was energetic.
When the other Bruce woke up, he realized at the first time that he must have been calculated by his professor again.
This had to mention Bruce's original plan.
Bruce, who had successfully tried to fix the bug many times, naturally knew how to use the Batman Joker Aggregation Law. His arrangement for the main universe was roughly as follows:
First, he knew that Schiller could not enter the main universe. This was because Schiller had caused the main universe to restart before, and Gabriel had added a protective shield to the main universe, which made it impossible for Schiller to enter in the normal way, and even the Flash could not bring him in.
But if the normal method didn't work, you could use an abnormal method, which required the use of the first rule of the Batman Joker Aggregation Law. Where there is Batman, there must be a Joker.
Although Bruce is not Batman now, and Schiller is not completely the Joker, when they turn into a weak confrontation again, the Batman Joker Aggregation Law still applies.
Bruce had long discovered that this law was like the underlying code in the system, with authority higher than any law set by gods. In other words, as long as Bruce as Batman goes to the main universe, then Schiller as the Joker can naturally go to the main universe.
Bruce could go to the main universe through ordinary methods, such as letting the Flash take him there, but since he could kill two birds with one stone, he might as well take a more trendy approach.
In this way, Bruce submitted a job application to Michael to modify and streamline the rune system of the Holy Power. While winning Michael's favor, he also obtained the authority to modify the runes.
He changed the runes of the Holy Power in Heaven, and the phone in Heaven could not be dialed. Constantines in various universes stopped supplying, and Constantine in the main universe was of course no exception.
Faced with the dilemma of not being able to dial the phone, Constantine had no better way. He could only adopt the exhaustive method and constantly follow the pace of Bruce in Heaven to modify the runes to modify his own phone number.
At this time, Bruce took the initiative to contact Constantine. He made a deal with Constantine as Gabriel. He stopped modifying the phone number so that Constantine could reconnect with other angels, and Constantine had to summon him to Apocalypse in the main universe.
Bruce didn't plan to do anything in Apocalypse. The key was that he wanted to get Schiller over.
Schiller summarized the Batman Joker Aggregation Law, while Bruce summarized Schiller's Law, one of which is: No matter which Schiller, as long as he has subjective initiative in any matter, he will inevitably make a big thing that makes everyone's eyes black.
The law is indeed correct, but now it is Bruce himself who is black.
He was fooled again.
Think about it carefully, the people who came to the final Apocalypse showdown are a bit too much. It is a bit too coincidental that the three age groups of Batman, young, and middle-aged, came to the same place at the same time. It would be a miracle if there was no one behind this.
Bruce thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, and then found the key points of each line of the three Batmen.
First of all, the young Batman was brought here by himself, but accidentally appeared on Nyarlathotep. Bruce has never come into contact with this Outer God. This is Schiller's handwriting.
Schiller most likely reached an agreement with Nyarlathotep, and Nyarlathotep instigated the young Batman to go to Apokolips. This possibility is very high, because the state of young Bruce at that time was completely obsessed with power, and Nyarlathotep's temptation could easily work on him, so young Bruce proposed a plan to go to Apokolips.
The key point of the main universe Batman line couldn't be clearer. Harley, who was holding the Book of the Dead and could communicate with Schiller in real time, blatantly tricked Damian, the son of the main universe Batman, onto the spaceship.
The main universe Batman had already learned that Darkseid might kidnap his blood relatives. When he went to check on Damian's condition, he found that his son was missing. Of course, he would first think that it was Darkseid who did it, so he would go to Apokolips to find Darkseid.
As for himself, Bruce sighed in his heart and added one to the summarized Schiller Law——
When you make a plan with Schiller involved and it goes very smoothly, you should know that if Schiller does not destroy your plan and watch your fun, it means that he wants to use your plan to have more fun.
If this "you" refers to the student who only passed the final exam in his entire psychology study career, then this will be another exam, and if you fail, Schiller will make you the biggest fun.
Thinking of this, Bruce suddenly realized that the picture on the screen could still be played normally? The person who provided technical support to Harley and Robin before was obviously from another universe, right?
So, if he failed the exam, he would be scolded by Schiller in front of people from two universes? ? ?
Bruce jumped up at the speed of light to find food.
