Chapter 2206: Battle of Two Cities! (Part 70)
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 the time being. 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, that is, 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 damage 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 found that this thing should not be a natural phenomenon, but a program carefully woven and constructed by a certain 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 he is greedy for the half 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, that is, Batman is used by some evil god, and he himself does not know it.
It is true that Darkseid wants the equation in the hands of Batman in the main universe, but this time he went to Batman to tell Batman that he might be caught in a conspiracy woven by an evil god 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 must not let his two righteous partners know, otherwise they may think that Batman and Apokolips are in a swindle.
When the evil god comes, there will be conflicts between teammates again. Batman is completely controlled by the evil god, which will be troublesome.
Unexpectedly, while his subordinates were looking for Batman, they accidentally entered the lair of the mastermind behind the scenes - he couldn't be sure whether it was the mastermind behind the scenes, nor was he 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 made a decisive decision immediately - to cease fire with the Lantern Corps, cooperate with Batman, and pull out the mastermind behind the scenes and destroy his bones and ashes.
A ceasefire 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 Darkseid sent seems to be quite a lot, but it took so long to find people in a city on a planet. It was completely because Darkseid didn't care at all. Otherwise, he would directly explode the army. The demon-like army could even fill Apokolips, which is much larger than the solar system, and the Earth would be no problem.
Darkseid knew that if Batman deliberately wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him. Before, he was just beating a child on a rainy day. He was free anyway. If he found him, he would talk about cooperation to 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 beating the Lantern Corps and get the immediate benefits first.
But now is different from the past. The information sent back by Tivolance 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 quagmire of 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 overpowered firepower, and have even reached the point of huge amounts of arms and people.
At this time, Stark stood up, and the production line of Stark Industries was fully opened, replacing humans fighting on the battlefield with a large army of mechas, and combined with the continuous heavy firepower provided by various countries, this is really a demon who would ask who is the devil.
When the two Starks join forces, the power they can unleash is unimaginable. Bai Can has no morals at all. The only person who can make him show some humanity is Pepper. Now that Pepper's safety is threatened, he has completely ignored it.
The only way to cure the fear of insufficient firepower is to explode, explode, and explode faster. Soon the mecha army becomes 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 has a trump card that he has not used, or if Pepper's safety was not threatened, he could keep this trump card until the end of time. Don't forget that the Stark Group led by Bai Can developed an artificial sun earlier than Otto.
After Bai Can showed some of his trump cards, Natasha also understood that this guy was playing the idea of the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole behind, preparing to play the pig and eat the tiger, and wait until everyone is beaten and bloody and unable to fight again, and then jump out to make the final decision.
After solving the energy problem, the endless mechanical army became the main enemy of the demons. 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, as long as you look at the degree of damage to all parties caused by the war, you can get the answer. Bruce had evacuated most of the people before implementing the plan. The people who stayed behind were either bad guys or crazy people. Even if there were stubborn people, they would have run away overnight after seeing the war.
The New Jersey State Assembly seemed to have lost, but it received a lot of military support through this incident, and it could also appeal to Congress through this tragic war and increase the garrison quota of the National Guard.
The world's richest man would not lose even more. Where did the arms for support come from? They didn't produce it. This was completely a transfer from left hand to right hand, and the internal demand cycle belonged to it.
There are many types of law enforcement agencies. The FBI is a minor loss, but they have always been willing to throw things away if they don't pick them up on the road. SHIELD is a big show of power. Although the situation has deteriorated to this point, we have to admit that they are the tough guys who persisted to the end in the tragic war, and even other countries can't find fault with this.
So what was destroyed the most in this war was neither people, money, nor reputation.
The answer is surprisingly simple - the biggest damage is the buildings.
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 in Gotham were built by Owl after several generations of hard work, smelting materials, doping 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.
The basic base that Owl has worked hard to build in Gotham for many years is completely in vain. How can they not be angry?
In addition to anger, 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 Court of Owls began to pray madly to Barbatos, praying for more powerful dark energy.
But as mentioned before, because the clown ran into Barbatos's house along their telephone line, and Barbatos was impatient with those three unlucky things, he directly blocked the owls of this universe.
So theoretically, no matter how the priests prayed, Barbatos would not respond, because he could not hear them at all.
The call to Barbatos did not go through, but the call was transferred without the knowledge of the owl.
Who was it transferred to?
Of course, it was the Pope of Barbatos.
So who is the Pope of Barbatos?
That’s right, it was the winner of the Outstanding Owl Court Organization Award last quarter, the Model Worker of the Dark Origin Zone, the Outstanding Individual in the Work and Project of Invading the Main Universe, and the Gold Award Winner of the First "Owl Cup" Style and Literary Talent Promotion Activity - Bruce Wayne!
