Chapter 2212 Barbatos Is in Bad Luck (Part 1)
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above Barbatos, the source of darkness. It was as fast as a gust of wind and as swift as thunder. It struck the top of his head with a snap.
Barbatos jumped up with a roar and looked around for who had struck him. When he looked up, he saw an angel with several pairs of dazzling wings appearing in the darkness.
Uriel was so angry that he completely forgot the rule that angels were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the universe at will. He wanted to kill the damn dragon with a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, Michael discovered something was wrong in time and pulled him back, leaving Barbatos looking around in confusion.
Barbatos's level of existence naturally knew the existence of heaven, and of course he also knew that an angel had just rushed in and slapped him.
But the question is why?
He should not have offended angels, right? Barbatos carefully searched his memory and found that he rarely dealt with angels. He had only seen them a few times when he was with the World Forger, and he had not met them recently. How did he offend them?
What was the angel doing just now?
After thinking about his behavior carefully again, Barbatos felt a little guilty.
As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Everything Barbatos did was bad. Although he had no morals, he also knew the principle of the balance of yin and yang in the universe. His behavior of constantly polluting the bright universe with dark power was an improper behavior that broke the balance.
Was he caught?
Barbatos thought about it again and felt that it was very likely, because his family knew his own affairs. Recently, he did have a bolder plan and put it into practice.
For many years, Barbatos has been trying to invade the bright universe, but it has not been going smoothly.
The reason is that the principle is a bit like a game called "Spraton", which is the famous squid girl painting the floor. The players of the corresponding color can only hide under the paint of their own color, and the place without paint will be visible.
Barbatos is the source of darkness. When he hides in the dark energy, he is invincible. No one can lock him, or even attack him at all.
But if there is no dark energy or it is very thin somewhere, Barbatos has to go there in his original form. His original form is not fragile, but it is far from invincible.
So Barbatos has to lay paint wherever he wants to go, but to lay paint, he has to go there, but to go there, he has to lay paint first for safety reasons, which forms a vicious circle.
Barbatos' previous solution was to gather Judas believers and let the Court of Owls use their dark energy to gradually pollute the bright universe on a small scale.
It is equivalent to that every Gotham infected by dark energy is actually Barbatos's base, he can completely monitor there and pass through there unimpeded.

But the Court of Owls is human after all, they can hardly use Barbatos' dark energy directly, and even the cultivated claws are only used indirectly. In the final analysis, humans are too fragile.
They don't have extraordinary power, so they can only use stupid methods, mixing sand into buildings, and it takes decades to pollute a city.
A few decades is not a long time for Barbatos, but after polluting Gotham, it will become very difficult to pollute other cities, because human development is staged, and there is no need to demolish and rebuild cities on a large scale after modernization, so the stupid method will not work.
This leads to the fact that although Barbatos can continuously establish his own dark base in one bright universe after another, after many years, the base is always so large that it is not enough for him to stand on a fingernail. If this continues, he will take a long time to bring all the bright universes under his command.
After working hard for so long and still making no progress, Barbatos finally remembered to change his mind.
It is not okay to always focus on the bright universe. The believers he has attracted and cultivated there are too weak. Maybe they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people after a few decades.
It can be seen from the fact that Barbatos treats Bruce of the Schiller universe as a treasure that he has not cultivated any decent and powerful believers in all these years. He has a powerful power but dares not use it, and cannot use it.
Barbatos suddenly figured it out at that moment. Why should I try my best to go to the light universe?
So he turned his head and looked at his territory, that is, all the dark universes.
The boundary between the light and dark universes is not so obvious. If there is a rule, everything that happens in the dark universe will fall into darkness uncontrollably until it is completely corrupted and degraded. This is the endless darkness that Barbatos brings to them.
It is also under the influence of the powerful energy of the source of darkness that the strength of the creatures living in the dark universe is generally a little stronger than that of the light universe. Over the years, a group of experts have been accumulated.
Barbatos' energy cannot be injected into the bodies of the creatures in the light universe, but the life in the dark universe does not have this trouble. They are born, grow and die under the influence of this energy. This is a part of them, and it is simply a natural container.
So why not infuse their own energy into them and let them invade the light universe?
The more Barbatos thought about it, the more he felt that his plan would work.
The creatures of the light universe are naturally incompatible with their own nature. Forcible infusion not only wastes energy, but also easily causes many relatively tragic events for these weak creatures, attracting the attention of all parties. Barbatos is still in the period of making a fortune quietly, and does not want to expose his intentions for the time being, so every time he pays the owl a salary, he is sneaky and stingy. He turns a blind eye to the owl's laziness, because he knows that this is his own problem.
But if you use the life of the dark universe, there will be no such trouble. The power can be poured in as much as possible, and all kinds of enhancements must be pulled to the maximum. Even if he dies after being sent over, the dark energy in his body will leave a large piece of pollution on the land after the explosion, which is equivalent to setting up a small base in an instant, which is not a loss in any way.
And this group of people originally grew up in the dark universe. The darkness brought to them by their universe not only makes them strong, but also makes them loyal enough. They want to bring pain and darkness to more people more than anyone else, which is much more useful than the Owl Court that fishes for three days and dries the net for two days.
Moreover, there has been a constant flow of personnel between the light universe and the dark universe. As long as they cleverly exploit a loophole and send a small batch at one time, it will be difficult to attract the attention of others. When they arrive at the place, they will be dispersed, which will be more concealed.
All this was done without anyone noticing. The invasion progress that had stagnated for many years was finally able to take another step. Barbatos started his own action without much thought.
His action was divided into two parts, one was to pick dishes on the dishes he already had, and the other was to find loopholes on the dishes to facilitate the delivery of dishes to the other side.
Both links were completed in the source of darkness. Barbatos thought he was secretive, but he didn't know that another mysterious existence had been squatting in his base camp for a long time.
Is it Bruce Wayne?
Although Bruce did come later, he was far from being a leader in being a fun person.
The one who had been squatting in Barbatos' base camp for a long time was naturally Nyarlathotep.
Or rather, he was not squatting here, he had never left at all. Since Schiller sent a big alarm clock to Barbatos last time and successfully guided Naya here, Naya had never left the source of darkness.
Later, the prying and attack from the outside world that Barbatos felt was just Naya's pretense, including the constant pulling and harassment later, all to make Barbatos believe that Naya was the hand outside the balloon, and the attack was powerful and threatening.
But what Naya actually did was not so rude and reckless. He was a very delicate artist. When the dragon in the balloon was fighting with the giant hand outside the balloon, he quietly sent a molecule through the outer wall of the balloon into the dark multiverse.
That was the universe of little Bruce.
A certain Batman became a believer of Nyarlathotep, but he was still Batman, and he still had the energy of Barbatos in his body, so he and his Gotham quietly mixed into a bunch of dark universes, and even behaved darker and crazier than other universes, and no one noticed.
Barbatos was busy dealing with Naya's threats again, and didn't notice that there was an extra dish on his plate.
After this was over, Barbatos began to select capable people in the dark multiverse - he picked little Bruce.
Naya is a Thousand-Faced God who is very good at disguising himself. After his careful dressing, little Bruce looks very good. He is young, talented, chaotic and crazy enough. It would be strange if he was not noticed by Barbatos.
After little Bruce felt the presence of Barbatos, Naya immediately knew that Barbatos was going to do something.
And this time he didn't take popcorn, find a good seat, and prepare to start watching the fun as usual, but first notified someone - Schiller Rodriguez.
Although there was also the idea of asking him to watch the fun together, it was still due to an agreement between Schiller and Naya -
As the author of the Book of the Dead, Schiller did not publish this encyclopedia and genealogy of the Outer Gods, but gave it to Naya, letting Naya decide who can understand the knowledge of the Outer Gods.
And Naiya notified Schiller as soon as Barbatos took action.
This deal sounds a bit unfavorable. There are not many opportunities to trade fairly with the God of Fun. Naiya thinks that the Book of the Dead is very interesting and is very interested in it. Schiller should have taken this opportunity to make a big profit from Naiya.
But Schiller believes that gaining more knowledge and energy is just adding tiles to the new house, but before that, a more fatal problem must be solved - the toilet leaks.
No matter how beautiful and good-looking the new house is, if there is a pile of shit or even several piles of shit swaying in the house, the house cannot be lived in, so it is better to build it slowly, and the toilet must be guaranteed to be solid and safe.
Even if you can't prevent all of them, you must prevent the biggest one.
After Naiya notified him, Schiller rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and after learning about Barbatos' recent movements, he understood that the gears that eventually led to the explosion of the cesspool finally began to turn slowly.
