Chapter 1705 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoners of the Batcave (14)
"So, you found the source of darkness in the city of Gotham?" Constantine asked, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
Schiller skipped the process of finding the scales. He simply said that he felt the same power as the darkness of Gotham on the scales. Others in the room did not continue to ask what the specific principle was. After all, magic
There is no need to make things so clear.
"What's that?" Bruce asked, leaning forward.
"Barbatos, the dragon of darkness, lives in the abyss beneath the earth's surface. He is the god of destruction and darkness. He has been lurking in the shadows of the universe for a long time, peeping at the world."
"It's the eyes we saw." Bruce whispered, then he looked up at Schiller and asked: "What is he?"
Schiller shook his head slightly. In fact, he knew the background story of Barbatos, but obviously he couldn't provide any reliable sources of information now. He couldn't say that he had guessed it himself, right?
And the background of Barbatos is not very important. To put it bluntly, he is a pet dog who ate his owner. At the beginning of the DC universe, there were two brothers and a third person. This third person was the World Forger, living in the World Melting Forge.
, which is now the Dark Multiverse.
He knocked out the universe there, and put the good ones on the plate, and fed the bad ones to the dog. Barbatos was that dog, but after eating too much, he felt that he was very capable, so he ate the caster.
, and then those dark universes that should have been abandoned formed the dark multiverse.
It is useless to say this now. According to the timeline, the unlucky world caster may have been eaten. Otherwise, the space where little Bruce went could not be completely dark. This shows that Barbatos has already mastered the dark diversity.
Already.
"What does this young Bruce mean when he talks about doors and keys?" Strange frowned. He looked at all this from the perspective of a bystander and speculated: "This young Bruce dropped his own blood on the
They had a strange reaction on the metal, and then his soul flew to the space where Barbatos was, which proved that there was something wrong with his blood and Gotham's metal."
Then he looked up at Schiller and said: "Since you are behind this, tell me your plan in full."
"This has to start with you." As a result, Schiller looked at Strange uncharacteristically. Strange was stunned and didn't understand what this had to do with him.
He looked around and found that everyone in the room was looking at him, so he was quite surprised and said: "What are you looking at me for? I am the only outsider here."
"Have you never thought about why you came here?"
"Of course it's because you are petty!" Strange glared at Schiller and said, "Just because I cut off my arm, you opened a hole between the two universes, and then kicked me in, and you still did it?
Have you got the nerve to ask me why I’m here?!”
Schiller shook his head, took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Forgive me, I can only express regret for your radical wording, but it is not entirely because of this."
"Ancient One." Schiller spit out a name, but he did not have the consciousness to explain his accomplice, but started talking on his own.
"Just when I was studying that scale and guessing its true belonging, Ancient One came to me and brought me news about a serial murder case in the multiverse."
"I was surprised at first. Who can travel across the multiverse to murder others? Later, when Ancient One told me about her experience during this period, I finally understood what this was all about."
As Schiller told it, everyone in the room began to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of another huge plan.
After Gu Yi retired, she began to roam the universe, but as she swam, the single universe was no longer enough for her, so she began to travel between universes, of course with the help of the power of eternity.
However, the eternity of this universe is rather unlucky. It has someone like Schiller, who would rather work overtime in the big world than come back. He would go on a business trip whenever he has time. He would rather leave the mess of managing the universe to his colleagues.
Don't want to take another look.
Even the Ancient One often goes on business trips with Eternity. As long as Adam, the Tribunal of Life in the big world, holds a meeting, he will bring together all Eternities in various multiverses. Many Eternities will also retire with their universes.
Ancient one.
In this way, the Ancient One mages began to communicate with each other, or in other words, the Ancient One from Schiller's universe finally joined the group chat.
At the beginning, everyone just exchanged some experiences on magic and spiritual cultivation, shared adventure experiences and new things in the universe, especially the experience of beating up the devil.
But the good times did not last long, and not long after, many Ancient Ones began to complain in the group. The successors they chose, Strange, were all killed in battle not long after becoming the Supreme Mage, and the cause of death was a mystery. It seemed like...
It's like dying in your sleep.
After communicating in the group, the Ancient Ones discovered that this situation was not an exception, nor was it an accident at all, but a mysterious serial killer who was constantly hunting Strange.
As soon as this strange incident came out, Ancient One from the Schiller Universe immediately became vigilant, because she discovered that the victims of Strange were all relatively young, and most of them were killed not long after becoming the Supreme Mage.
On average, Gu Yi discovered that the Strange in his own universe was relatively young, and at the same time had a very powerful power, and was very likely to become the target of the murderer.
Furuichi wanted to remind Strange to be more vigilant, but when she thought about it, there are thousands of days to be a thief, but there are no thousand days to guard against thieves. Furuichi is not a defensive player. She prefers to take the initiative, so she came to find him.
Schiller.
At that time, a certain plan had been lingering in Schiller's mind, but the structure was not clear enough. When Gu Yi came to him, he immediately had a new idea.
As we all know, after the gray mist swallowed Gnar, gained his memory, and learned his true identity, the Cthulhu mythology system became an insurmountable difficulty.
Cthulhu is more like a style than a very specific subject matter, which means that there are occasionally their shadows in many European and American literary and film and television works. Before, Schiller was not sure whether it was true in the Marvel universe.
There are only beholders and the Cthulhu-style characters mentioned, or the complete outer god system has been hidden behind the stars.
And when the Nameless Mist appeared, there was a definite answer to this question. At least the world he was in had alien gods, and it was the Tibetan god system that emerged around Azathos.
In this case, other well-known outer gods should be there, but even Greed understands that the value of the outer gods is actually not high. They are neither gods of the rules of the universe nor energy bodies, but more like a kind of polluting nature.
It's a natural phenomenon, and this wool is not easy to pluck.
In fact, Schiller should be satisfied after gathering the nameless fog, but who named Schiller greedy? Again, he is good at squeezing out all the value of everything, even a few drops of oil can be squeezed out of a stone.
, let alone an alien god?
It is unrealistic to directly create alien gods, because the original style of the Cthulhu Mythos system is madness and chaos, but because of this, they have a perfect use, that is, as an oversized alarm clock.
As we all know, Schiller is very good at customizing alarm clocks. His creed is that the business can be closed, but you can't answer my phone. If you can't answer the phone, the ringtone must not be loud enough.
After deducing the true owner of the scales, Schiller naturally wanted to call and ask to see if it was true that Barbatos had not been plucked, as the original Schiller said.
But it is difficult to call this Lord-devouring dog. If you open the door to the dark multiverse rashly, what if it is not Barbatos but other disgusting things that come in? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
Shit road?
So, Schiller decided to find a way to throw a microphone at Barbatos. It didn't matter what the quality of the call was. The important thing was that it didn't get stuck on him, and if it did, don't stick it on him.
But this matter is also a technical job. First of all, Schiller needs to create a believer in an alien god, so he needs an alien god. Originally, the nameless mist could also do the job, but Schiller thought about it.
The Nameless Mist was not aggressive enough, so Schiller had to choose between it, and finally decided on Naia.
On the one hand, it is the resonance between Lezi and Lezi God. On the other hand, Naiya walks dogs and fights cocks in the human world every day. He is also idle when he is idle. By keeping him busy, he can save a few people from harm.
After the ringtone was determined, the next step was to determine the material of the microphone. Of course, the material must be Batman. Barbatos went through so much trouble just to get Batman to open the door, so Schiller naturally gave him Batman.
Schiller's original plan was to find an evil Batman from the evil universe, and guide Naia to attach his old mark to this Batman, that is, to coat the mop with shit, and then throw it in front of Barbatos.
Test whether his wool has grown longer.
But Bruce had a sudden idea and brought a little Bruce over to prove that he was not the least good at psychology in the universe. Although this was not the best candidate, it was still barely useful.
So, Arrogance played the magic professor here, directing and acting in a whole show of Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone. He originally planned to tamper with the Philosopher's Stone and destroy the passage that Little Bruce came from along the way.
When we went to Marvel, Bruce was the first to go and spread rumors about Lucifer directly in heaven, so Lucifer built an exclusive channel and got little Bruce through.
As for Schiller and Ancient One's plan, Ancient One reports Strange's death case in the multiverse to Eternity, and then pursues the case with other Ancient Ones. This will inevitably put a certain amount of pressure on the murderer, who does not want to be found out.
, will definitely be eager to gain power or find a way out, which will speed up her ability to touch Schiller's universe, and also speed up the speed at which he takes the bait.
While the Ancient One was away from the earth, Greed let Gray Mist remotely control the Necronomicon to appear in the Ancient One's study. Greed wanted Bruce to find the book and teach him to summon Nyarlathoti through the knowledge in the book.
He used common methods, but unexpectedly Helen took the first step, and the Necronomicon finally fell into Harley's hands.
And seducing Nyarlathotep is also very simple. As an alien god who can understand humans, his method of seducing humans is different from other alien gods who forcefully instill knowledge. He is more elegant. In short, Nyarlathotep
is a liar.
Every liar knows that if his background is clearly written in black and white and widely publicized, it will be difficult to deceive others in the future.
So, when Nyarlathotep learned that there was a Necronomicon that contained all the knowledge about the outer gods, he eagerly wanted to destroy it.
