Chapter 544: Putting everything on the gambling table!
Batman's plan failed completely, and he himself is dead.
I am Thomas Wayne. My world once saw the dawn of continuation, but now that dawn has dimmed.
Batman took away my entire propulsion tower system. With only the current 4 propulsion towers, it is impossible for the universe to escape.
I have never dreamed that the Anti-Monitor will let this universe go. That is completely deceiving myself. I surrendered to Mobius once, and I know very well that devouring a universe will definitely enhance the power of the Anti-Monitor... or restore his power.
So now all I can do is...
wait to die.
But just when I was about to die with my universe, a man who called himself a killing machine came to my propulsion tower.
He claimed to be from other dark multiverses, and he claimed that he obeyed an evil god named Barbatos, and that evil god was the weaver of the unfortunate fate of our universe.
As long as I surrender and join their dark knights, and work for the culprit who destroyed my world, I can survive.
Do you think I will accept such humiliation?
Do you think I am so cowardly?
Do you think I will be as servile as the Joker mocked?
I was furious.
That bastard called Killing Machine said a lot, but to summarize it...
To put it bluntly, he asked me to be his dog.
I would rather die.
Killing Machine's biggest mistake was to provoke a person who had nothing to lose.
Those people in the Dark Knights have never seen a madman, today I will teach them a lesson.
There is no need to talk nonsense, the four propulsion towers are ready to push the entire universe forward, but with the death of Batman, this preparation is no longer useful.
But I can still control them... I can use these four propulsion towers to do something else.
For example, create a huge and destructive explosion.
This is easy, just let the magic circuits of the four propulsion towers produce a hedge, and there is still a little power that Batman has just transmitted in the propulsion towers, which is not enough to drive the universe, but enough to "boom!"
I am worried about the lack of a splendid death, and I am worried about the lack of someone who can die with me.
I am sure that if the Anti-Monitor attacks me, I won't even have a chance to self-destruct, but if it is the man who calls himself a killing machine...
He looks strong, very strong, but he can't be as strong as the Anti-Monitor who can easily devour the universe, right?
He looks like a good "suicide companion".
I cried and laughed.
I will become a big firework in the universe. I don't have to experience the tragedy of witnessing the destruction of my own universe. In a way, isn't this a kind of tenderness?
But just when I was about to start all this...
"Zizizizi... Master Thomas!"
"Alfred?"
The voice of "Outsider" Alfred came to Night Owl's ears.
He turned his head and saw the face of Outsider Alfred appearing on the screen next to him.
The Outsider's face was pale. If Night Owl observed more carefully, he would easily find that this looked like a situation caused by excessive blood loss after being injured.
But the Outsider had been infected by the Joker's virus in his early years. Night Owl cured the Outsider, but the toxin permanently changed Alfred's appearance, making his face as pale as the Joker.
Therefore, Night Owl did not discover the other party's injury in the first time.
"Master Thomas, Batman is dead, the whole plan has completely failed, and the world is going to be destroyed."
"Yes, I know, Alfred, we are all going to die." Night Owl paused, then said: "I will always love you, Alfred, you are a good servant. In the last moments of your life..."
But the Outsider did not tell him his last words as Night Owl said.
He thought the reason why the Outsider called was to tell him his last words.
"No, Master Thomas, we won't die."
"What do you mean?"
"I have used the Father Box technology to build a portal to escape to other dark multiverses, Master Thomas. Although none of us know what is behind this portal, it must be a complete world. We can escape and never come back."
"It's the plan to find other alien worlds!"
Night Owl suddenly recalled that he and the Outsiders had built a world that was enough for him to give to the Anti-Monitor, and found Batman's universe.
But they should have only found Batman's complete universe at that time, and the other worlds did not find the exact coordinates at all.
"Mobius Chair, sir. No one except God can build this thing, but through the connection of the parent box, we can use a little of its power."
"With the help of the Mobius Chair, I found a target world that can be teleported to escape."
"Although we still don't know what the dark multiverse behind the portal is like, it is better than the situation in our universe."
The outsider said: "So I tried to transform and reconstruct the portal we built, and finally stabilized the frequency of going to that world just now"
"The energy for transmission is powered by a part of the power of the planetary heart that I intercepted before."
"Everything is ready, Master Thomas. Let's go together. Let's go quickly. I will use the father box to connect the teleportation device on the propulsion tower later, and then you can teleport directly through the propulsion tower to the way I built to leave. in front of the portal.”
Night Owl smiled, his servant was always so considerate and always one step ahead of others.
He guessed the reason why the outsiders did not report what he had done to him simultaneously. Outsiders guessed that they would not approve of this behavior of preparing a retreat without fighting.
So he just prepared it for himself silently, and then offered it to his master when it was needed.
He did a great job.
He made preparations in advance under impossible circumstances and hid it from Ye Xiao. He prepared the ultimate life-saving plan for himself and his master to escape from the battlefield.
here you go.
I'm Thomas Wayne.
People often call me a night owl.
I'm tired, very tired.
For a long time, I have regarded the Joker as my biggest rival and the person I hate the most, but I know very well...
What the Joker said is true.
He and I are two sides of the same coin. We know each other too well, which is why the Joker can always make me furious -
About what the Joker said about me.
What he said is true.
He said that my set of utilitarian codes never included myself.
He said when things come to a close, I will not sacrifice myself to save the common people.
He said I would stab Batman in the back if I could.
He said I was a shy villain who called himself an antihero.
It's all true.
This thing will transport us to some completely unknown dark multiverse, with a completely unknown destination. It's a one-way ticket.
Batman is dead, the universe is hopeless, and there is no way to save it.
He, Night Owl, Thomas Wayne has sacrificed everything for this city and this universe, exhausting every method he could think of.
He had fought until the very end.
If he ran away at this moment, who could blame him?
nobody.
At this time, Night Owl actually began to look forward to the Joker suddenly appearing in front of him. He expected that the other party would criticize him as he did when he was ill before, criticizing him to pieces, and then the conversation would end with his roar, outside. It looks like he starts going crazy while talking to himself.
but none. The Joker didn't show up.
Only Night Owl himself.
The killing machine pushing outside the tower was already a little impatient.
Night Owl lowered his head.
He was ashamed of himself for wavering.
At that moment, he was surprised that he was so shameless that he wanted to accept the embarrassing escape plan prepared by outsiders for him, and then give up all rules, all achievements in life, his pride, his persistence, his Years of justifying himself as an anti-hero.
He was deeply ashamed of that moment of timidity.
But do you know what is the saddest thing?
Even so, even though he was ashamed and sad, he could not control himself from rejecting the outsider's proposal.
When the world collapsed, Batman died, and all hope was lost, he thought he was going to die. But at this time, things took a turn for the worse, and someone brought you hope of life... Such a proposal——
Who can refuse it?
As for all the billions of lives in his universe...he Ye Xiao tried his best. Batman tried his best, but the universe was hopeless.
Everyone in the universe, although they are still alive, is already dead.
Night Owl could not refuse the option of escape.
His reason will drive him to make the right decision, while his sensibility is whining in pain.
"I……"
Night Owl knew that all this was known to outsiders. This was also the reason why his old servant dared to do all this behind his back.
The outsider is too familiar with Ye Xiao, and he knows what choices Ye Xiao will make.
And he just needs to deliver the steps at the right time.
It is impossible for people to disobey the personality they have developed over the past ten years. And most of the time, once these personalities are finalized, they can never be changed.
It was impossible for "Night Owl" to refuse this offer.
Unless he's not a night owl.
Night Owl held out his hand.
He embraced the air in front of him.
His sensibility has made its decision, and his figure is dissolving in the bubble.
Behind the hazy shadow, he saw the Joker opening his arms and a smile on his lips...
Look at yourself on the other side of the light.
Night Owl could have run away, and he wanted to.
But today.
I am determined to wield my will... cut off my timidity!
Night Owl stretched out his hand towards the Joker.
He is actively embracing the Joker virus, letting those viruses integrate into his thoughts and every cell in him, completely changing him from head to toe.
He is actively embracing the changes that the virus has brought to him.
I'm so sorry, Ye Xiao no longer has the guts and courage to make those choices.
So...Joker.
My old friend, my mirror image, my nemesis.
Help me.
Then Night Owl heard the last gasp.
Then he heard the Joker say:
"good."
So, tell me.
If a person permanently changes his or her mind, is he still a "he"?
Does this mean that the previous "him" is now dead?
"Oh no, dear Alfred." Soon, the outsider on the other end of the communication heard his master's frivolous, somewhat familiar, yet particularly strange tone:
"We can't just run away. Look, we can't give up on the billions of sentient beings in this world. No matter how small the possibility of victory is, there is always a difference between persisting and giving up, right?"
"What?"
"Hehe, so I have a plan...I plan to continue to act according to Batman's plan, and then wait for Batman to be resurrected."
"Mr. Thomas, what are you talking about? This is ridiculous. Batman is already finished. How could he..."
“Winner takes all.”
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that if Batman's plan goes smoothly, we can save our world, no one will die, and no one will have to be sacrificed."
"The probability is completely non-existent..."
"The probability is extremely small." The outsider heard Mr. Thomas on the other end of the phone interrupt him: "But there is no chance at all. Either complete victory or complete failure, there is no compromise."
"And now is the time for me to put everything on the gambling table! Hahahahaha!"
"Oh, of course." Then the outsider heard his Master Thomas say: "The whole plan must first deal with this enemy. What is his name?"
"Killing machine, right?"
…
…
…
"What did you say?"
Inside the main tower of the Batman Universe Advancement Tower.
Greer, who was responsible for centrally controlling the entire propulsion tower system, almost thought he had heard wrong.
"We want to go back? Do you know how far we have run? Do you know how much danger and effort it took for us to increase our speed to this point?"
Greer felt like she was almost becoming a madonna worried about the survival of the universe, and she began to wonder who the super villain was.
Aren't these people afraid of death? Why does she seem to be the only sane one among all the members left in this universe? Forget about Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern who just broke in and asked him to turn around and go back to save Batman. He already knew about the Green Lantern Corps. People are idiots with brain problems.
But Lex Luthor, why even him?
"I refuse." Greer said: "Stop daydreaming, I won't..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt a strong electric current pass through her entire body.
Luther put down the controller expressionlessly.
"It is precisely because our universe has accelerated to the extreme that I can try to launch a collision with the Anti-Monitor. This way we will be fast enough and powerful enough, and it will be easier to escape after the collision is over."
"There's one more thing, I'm not discussing it with you at all, Greer." He said.
"I want to put everything on the gambling table crazily. And victory and failure..."
"It's not something I need to consider."
…
…
…
"No matter what, you lack a reason to become a hero."
Chen Tao heard about death and said:
"You are already excited after hearing these responsibilities! Why are you still insisting on returning to the world of the living?"
