Chapter 178 The End and the Beginning (End)

I am Bane.

Perhaps some people would think that Bane is very likely a person who never gives up.

Perhaps some people would think 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!!!"

He was not finished speaking when he was stopped by the scream that he made uncontrollably.

Half of his body fell to the ground with a thud, like a melted candle.

"It's useless to delay, Brainiac. Boring questions won't 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 stood and you fell, Brainiac."

Brainiac didn't speak.

"Don't waste your energy. You also have Doomsday spores hidden in your organic body, right? This body is completely disposable to you, 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, but also a shackle that traps you. Even if this body is turned into stone by Doomsday 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 the four natural energies, but in vain.

"My blockade of your mind cannot always work. As long as you get rid of us and then transfer your thoughts back to your spaceship, it will be completely fine, right?"

Puff!

A large mass of metal exploded from Brainiac's body again, with 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 became nutrition, which was constantly absorbed by the four forces, and then the dog brain was knocked out of his body.

"Why?"

Brainiac looked at Bane, one of his eyeballs had been blown up by the swollen black of decay, and it bulged 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 the answer.

His mouth was severely deformed, half of his face began to melt, and he completely lost the 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 clearly close to each other, but it was as if 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.

So 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, and 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 thoughts were gradually stopping.

This actually gave him a fear, and this fear was like the gentlest morning breeze rippling in his heart.

"No. No. Someone come and save me."

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

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

It was difficult to describe this feeling in words, like the loneliness of knowing that death was imminent but not knowing what to do. Even the loneliness that fear could not dispel gnawed at his heart, but made 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 powers, just like the vitality of a cancer patient had 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 Earth..." Brainiac said, "...but I am not wrong."

At the last moment, the collector who shocked the world 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 have 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 feeling of unwillingness surged in his heart. In his long life of several centuries, he had never experienced such an emotion.

"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 at this time he could no longer feel his hand.

He lowered his head and saw that his palms and lower body were 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 slightly.

He suddenly sat up straight, but 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 and the big-headed doll in the Batcave, as well as the robot that fought with Bane outside."

Brainiac heard Batman say: "I will never give you a chance to revive."

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, Batman. This is the meaning of your existence, your destiny."

He 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?

Or is it relief, or gloating?

"My meaning should not be..."

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

The second after he said that, the Collector of the Universe fell to the ground with his head tilted up, his body 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 spent his whole life trying to define himself, not to be defined by others. You may be able to use it to summon a Batman from a parallel universe. ]

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

["I am Brainiac. I control life, I control everything!"]

[Crisis energy converted: 319]

【Batman】

【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 Batman existed here】

Chen Tao was in no 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 disappeared along with the Doomsday spores I cleared with you--"

He said, "It disappeared."

...

...

...

"After being attacked by the infamous treasure hunter known as Black Manta, local lighthouse keeper 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 Batmans, Supermen, and Wonder Women 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 moment, 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.

Darkseid looked at the projection of the planet in front of him quietly, and there was no expression on his rock-like face.

"Brainiac was defeated and even died because of it, my master."

The shadow beside him said: "Is this planet really a problem that Steppenwolf can solve alone?"

"The Kryptonians have lost their abilities."

The shadow heard Darkseid's voice and erupted like magma.

"The problem will be solved."

He looked at the shadow next to him, who had a big S on his chest.

"And the earth will get a new Superman."
