Chapter 2228: Battle of Two Cities! (Seventy)
In the palace of Darkseid on Apokolips, the supreme ruler of Apokolips, the supreme emperor Darkseid, was frowning deeply, repeatedly pressing the button of the communicator, listening to a communication from the depths of the distant starry sky.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am Tivorens, your loyal subordinate... I don't know where I am, it's all dark here, terrifying, terrifying..."
"I saw four behemoths, they are hidden in the depths of the universe... They are plotting something... Your Majesty... They want to invade! Want to invade the universe!"
"He found me! His eyes are looking over here! Your Majesty, please be sure... Ah!!!!!!!"
The screams stopped abruptly, and Darkseid's face became more and more solemn. At the end of the recording, there was a special sound wave that was difficult to capture, which sounded like some kind of whisper, but even Desaad, the most intelligent commander under his command, could not understand this language.
The sound waves have been sent to be deciphered, and Darkseid is thinking about other information. From the recording sent back by Tivolens, we can know that he has fallen into a certain darkness, and in the depths of the darkness, he saw four evil gods hiding in the darkness, who are plotting to invade the universe.
There are too many things in this world that want to invade the universe, and most of them are alarmist. Darkseid has never liked to worry about things, but the reason why he sits here and thinks about this seriously can only mean that he has already realized it.
This has to start from the invasion of Apokolips by the three Batmen. Let’s not talk about other confrontations for now. The most strange thing is the ability to completely change the climate and atmosphere of Apokolips.
As mentioned before, Apokolips is actually Darkseid’s kingdom of God. It is not a real planet, but a complete dimension, which can be compared to Asgard, but Darkseid’s authority in Apokolips is much higher than Odin.
Within the scope of Apokolips, Darkseid is an omniscient and omnipotent god, and nothing can be higher than him. But that day, when a dark atmosphere descended, Darkseid's authority was broken, which made Darkseid feel a great sense of crisis.
After that, he continued to study the remaining video materials and even found the energy left on the original building.
Darkseid is not a human being. His perspective on the world is different from that of most three-dimensional creatures. What he can see is that this dark energy does not belong to this universe.
In layman's terms, although Darkseid is not a system administrator, when his authority in a certain file is higher than anything else, he can also glimpse the truth of the system's essence, so as to know which bytes should not appear in his folder.
This range that should not appear includes not only the dimension of Apokolips, but also the entire universe. In other words, this is energy outside the universe, and if it appears here, it proves that some existence outside the universe must have transmitted it in some way.
The only suspicious person is Batman.
At that time, when the three flowers gathered on Apokolips, Darkseid felt inexplicably awkward, as if he had no strength to use, and punched cotton. Now it seems that it was completely the interference of the dark energy brought by Batman.
For the dimension of Apokolips, this dark energy is like a redundant file. Although it does not cause damage to the system, if there is too much, it will definitely occupy the running memory and cause the computing speed to slow down, which Darkseid will never allow.
In the process of expelling the residual dark energy, Darkseid discovered that this thing should not be a natural phenomenon, but a program carefully woven and constructed by some intelligent life.
This is too suspicious. Batman carries this energy all over his body. Could he be the messenger of some evil god?
Although Darkseid has no good feelings for the three bats that broke into his house inexplicably, and is greedy for the half of the life equation in the hands of the main universe Batman, his wisdom is no less than Batman's, which makes him understand that Batman will not succumb to the evil god.
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, Batman is being used by an evil god, and he himself does not know it.
It is true that Darkseid wants the equation in the hands of the main universe Batman, but this time he went to Batman to tell Batman that he might be caught in a conspiracy that the evil god has woven for many years.
This is not out of kindness. Darkseid is worthy of the title of the first emperor of the universe. He has partially seen the specialness of Batman and knows that if he loses control, it will not be good for the entire universe. Moreover, dark energy is also very difficult for him. If it spreads in the universe, it will also be a trouble.
So in fact, this time he sent the army to find Batman to talk to him about cooperation, not even to invite him to come, but just to give him a special communicator and invite him to have a secret conversation.
The reason why it is so troublesome is that Darkseid is still fighting with the Green Lantern Corps, and the people of the Justice League are also involved. Darkseid knows that if he wants to remind Batman, he can't let his two righteous partners know, otherwise they may think that Batman and Apokolips are in a ruthless relationship.
When the evil god comes, conflicts will arise among teammates, and Batman will be completely controlled by the evil god, which will be troublesome.
Who knew that his subordinates, while searching for Batman, accidentally entered the lair of the mastermind behind the scenes - he could not be sure whether it was the mastermind behind the scenes, nor could he be sure whether it was the lair, but Darkseid's amazingly accurate intuition told him that what Tivolance saw was definitely not simple.
This great emperor immediately made a very decisive decision - to immediately cease fire with the Lantern Corps, cooperate with Batman, and pull out the mastermind behind the scenes and crush him to ashes.
A truce with the Lantern Corps is a prerequisite. Darkseid knows that only when the situation on the battlefield changes will Batman's two righteous partners notify him, and only the two of them can notify him.
The army sent by Darkseid seems to be quite a lot, but it took so long to find people in a city on a planet, which is completely because Darkseid didn't care at all. Otherwise, he would directly explode the army, and the demon-like army could even fill Apokolips, which is much larger than the solar system, let alone the earth.
Darkseid knew that if Batman wanted to hide on purpose, no one would be able to find him. He had only been looking for him to beat the kids on a rainy day. He was free anyway. If he found him, he would discuss cooperation and see if he could get a share of the war between Batman and the evil god. If he couldn't find him, he would focus on the Lantern Group and get the immediate benefits first.
But now is different from the past. The message sent back by Tivolens gave Darkseid a very bad premonition. He hadn't felt this kind of hair standing on end for many years. He knew how many times this sharp intuition had saved him, so this time he still decided to follow his instinct.
Put everything aside and find Batman first.
The army of Apokolips is still mired in the New City War, and it is getting more and more outrageous. After the landing of the National Guard, heavy firepower is no longer a defect of humans. Even with the blessing of the federal government, humans have completely excessive firepower, and have even reached the point of huge amounts of munitions and people.
At this time, Stark stood up. The production line of Stark Industries was fully opened, and the mecha army replaced the humans fighting on the battlefield. Combined with the continuous heavy firepower provided by various countries, this was really something that the demons would ask who was the demon.
When the two Starks joined forces, the power they could unleash was unimaginable. Bai Can had no morals at all. The only one who could make him show some humanity was Pepper. Now that Pepper's safety was threatened, he had completely ignored it.
The only way to cure the phobia of insufficient firepower was to explode, explode, and explode faster. Soon the mecha army became as overwhelming as the demons.
After finally letting go, the electronic life Stark finally embarked on the path that the Iron Demon had taken - endless mechanical self-proliferation until the machines filled every corner of the universe.
Bai Can actually had a trump card that he hadn't used, or if Pepper's safety hadn't been threatened, he would have kept this trump card until the end of time. Don't forget that the Stark Group under Bai Can's leadership developed an artificial sun earlier than Otto.
After Bai Guan revealed some of his cards, Natasha also understood that this guy was playing the mantis catching the cicada, while the oriole was waiting behind. He was going to play the pig and eat the tiger. After everyone was beaten and bloodied and unable to fight again, he would jump out and make the final decision.
After solving the energy problem, the endless mechanical army became the main enemy of the demon-like. The battle between the two sides was like a whirlwind, and the meat grinder-like scene was enough to scare anyone.
But in this situation, someone couldn't sit still, that was the owl who had just obtained powerful dark energy.
Who would lose the most in the war in the new city?
Some people think it's the people, some think it's the government, some think it's the world's richest man, and some think it's the law enforcement agencies.
But in fact, the answer can be drawn by looking at the degree of damage to all parties caused by the war. Bruce had evacuated most of the people before executing the plan. The only ones left behind were bad guys or lunatics. Even if there were stubborn people, they would have carried the train and ran away overnight when they saw the war.
The New Jersey State Assembly seems to have lost, but it has obtained a large amount of military support through this incident, and can also appeal to Congress through this tragic war and increase the garrison quota of the National Guard.
The world's richest man will not lose anything. Where did the arms for support come from? They are not produced by them. This is completely a transfer from left hand to right hand, and the internal demand cycle belongs to it.
There are many types of law enforcement agencies. The FBI is a small loss, but they have always been willing to throw away anything on the road. SHIELD can be said to be very powerful. Although the situation has deteriorated to this point, it has to be admitted that they are tough guys who have persisted to the end in the tragic war. Even other countries can't find fault with this.
So the most destroyed in this war is neither people, money, nor reputation.
The answer is surprisingly simple-the biggest damage is the building.
New York's buildings are worthless. It is swept by aliens three times a day on average. Buildings and people are like leeks. They grow again after being cut, and everyone is used to it.
But the buildings of Gotham were built by Owl after several generations of hard work, smelting materials, mixing metals, and stealing structures.
If this war continues, it can't be said to be thriving, but it can only be said that there is nothing left.
How could they not be angry when the Owls' base in Gotham that they had worked so hard for so many years was completely wasted?
In addition to being angry, they knew that since the results of their previous operations had been wiped out, they could only rely on this war to turn the tables, otherwise they would have no place to stand in the future.
The increasingly crazy and extreme Owl Court began to pray madly to Barbatos, praying for more powerful dark energy.
But as mentioned before, because the Joker ran into Barbatos's house along their phone line, and Barbatos was annoyed by the three unlucky guys, he directly blocked the Owls in this universe.
So theoretically, no matter how the priests prayed, Barbatos would not respond, because he could not hear it at all.
The call to Barbatos did not go through, but the call was transferred without the knowledge of the Owls.
Who was it transferred to?
Of course, it was the Pope of Barbatos.
So who is the Pope of Barbatos?
That’s right, it’s the winner of last quarter’s Outstanding Owl Court Organization Award, Model Worker of the Dark Origin District, Outstanding Individual in the Work and Projects of Invading the Main Universe, and Gold Award winner of the first “Owl Cup” Literary Style and Literary Talent Improvement Activity - Bruce Wayne!
