After Batman and Batwoman left, Clark and Hal stayed in Batwoman's universe to deal with the aftermath. The so-called aftermath was actually just watching Atlantis and telling them not to fight too hard.
spread to land.
Atlantis only has hatred for the current Atlantis, and it is obvious that the Atlanteans do not recognize the new king at all. The conflict between them broke out far more violently than imagined. In the end, Clark and Ha
I had no choice but to move the Sea Queen to land.
They found a note left by Batman in Batwoman's Batcave, which explained in detail what Batwoman had encountered and the possible contamination caused by the mysterious meteorite metal.
Realizing that something was fishy, the Sea Queen ignored the old grudges. With the help of Clark and Hal, they sealed Atlantis back into the sea, and then began to check Atlantis's energy system. Sure enough,
A problem was found with the outlet filter.
There is sufficient evidence to prove that the pollution does not actually come from the mainland, but from Atlantis itself, and the pollution in Atlantis is likely to come from a mysterious piece of metal.
After conducting a comprehensive investigation, the Sea Queen finally found the culprit. It seemed that it was the core center of a filter. Hal wrapped the thing with green light energy and tested it. The pollution readings immediately dropped.
In the end, the Queen chose to hand this thing over to Clark and Hal, and return to Atlantis to restore order in Atlantis.
Clark and Hal didn't know where to go with this hot potato. It happened that Bruce called Clark and asked him to go on a trip together. Hal decided to take this thing to find the little blue man in this universe.
Don't worry about whether the little blue people know what this is. Anyway, if there is any harm, just send it to them. It doesn't matter whether it is researched or not. Even if some disaster breaks out and brings disaster to all the little blue people, the universe will not suffer any loss.
After Clark returned to his own universe, he asked Bruce why he had to go around in such a large circle to send them to that universe, and Bruce answered like this.
"Our universe is a two-sided plate. The bright universe is on the top of the plate, and the dark universe is on the bottom of the plate. The two worlds are completely opposite, and the places with the most energy are all concentrated at the bottom in their own direction."
"That is to say, the source of light and the source of darkness are actually close to each other. To enter the light universe, you must first pass through the source of light, and to enter the dark universe, you must first pass through the source of darkness."
"This is also the reason why Barbatos has never been able to attack the light universe on a large scale. Even if he is only a short distance away, as the master of the dark universe, he cannot break through the limitations of the source of light."
"In the same way, if people from the light universe want to go to the dark universe, they have to pass through Barbatos' territory first. It is obvious that Batman is the key target, and that Batman and I are the top priority.
It’s difficult to travel to the dark universe without being discovered by Barbatos.”
"So I can only cause an accident to make Barbatos think that a certain ball of energy cannot be transferred unless it is transferred, and then hide you in that ball of energy, which is equivalent to hiding you deep in the truck, so that you can
Transport you there without being discovered by Barbatos."
Clark suddenly realized.
"But are you also going to the dark universe on your trip this time? Then how do you plan to get there?"
"You don't need to be sneaky this time. You can travel at public expense." Bruce snapped his fingers and said, "That's why I asked you and Diana to come. They will travel for free. If you don't come, it will be nothing."
"Have you got the budget?" Clark walked over and put his arm around Bruce's shoulders and said, "It looks like the reimbursement amount is very high."
"I said I'm just an ordinary human being, but I'm too weak. Going to the dark universe will inevitably be dangerous, and I have to bring at least two bodyguards with me. As a result, the stingy boss only gave me a quota of two bodyguards, so I can only bring with me
You and Diana went over there."
"Wait, you are going to the dark universe? Is it a place similar to the universe we went to this time?" Clark showed a hesitant expression and said: "It's not that I don't want to protect you, but if you don't actually need it,
Then I don’t have to go.”
Bruce heard Clark's resistance. He looked at Clark curiously. Clark sighed and said: "Those universes make me feel very uncomfortable. My power is weakened there, and the sun cannot function well."
Restore my energy."
"That's because the universe you went to is somewhat special and has been subject to some pollution. Although the universe we are going to this time is located in a dark universe, it is actually not dangerous, or it cannot be dangerous."
Clark heard that he seemed to have some hidden meaning, so he asked: "What do you mean?"
Bruce smiled and said, "Do you know what I am going to do on this business trip?"
"What?" Clark blinked, he didn't know why Bruce was so happy.
"The great His Majesty Barbatos finally plans to take the step of invading the light universe. However, he is now so weak that he is hampered in every way. Therefore, for the sake of His Majesty's great cause, I must go deep into the dark universe and find something that can be used.
With my helpers, I will form an elite team, which I am going to name - the Dark Knights!"
"You're about to show your bad attitude written all over your face." Clark still couldn't help but complain.
"Don't talk nonsense, I am loyal." Bruce leaned on Clark and said, "I haven't called Diana yet, let's go."
I went to the Metropolitan Library to pick up Diana who was working. Diana looked at Bruce and said with some surprise: "You really take this as a serious job? You don't want to really build a bat army."
Xia Army?"
"Of course." Bruce nodded and said: "Not only do we need to form an army, but the members must be carefully selected to ensure that every one of them is an elite among the elite. For this reason, I have also specially formulated a set of assessment procedures. Those who fail will be
No one is qualified to join this great cause."
"I always feel like there's something weird." Clark said. Although Bruce's expression couldn't be more serious, after getting along with him for a long time, everyone understood that the more serious he was, the more he thought about the whole life.
Diana stretched, sighed and said, "It just so happens that I haven't taken my annual leave this year yet..."
"Wait a minute." Clark said, "You've been away from the music festival for so long, and you haven't finished your annual leave yet?"
"That was a public inspection." Diana said: "The good mayor of Metropolis also wanted to know where Gotham got such popularity, so most of the cultural and art departments sent employees to inspect, and I was one of them.
.”
"I really envy you who travel at public expense." Clark shook his head and said, "Since I became a freelance journalist, I have been thinking about the next stage of reporting ideas."
The three of them chatted all the way to the basement of Wayne Manor, where Bruce created a portal that led directly to the dark universe.
"Is this also at public expense?" Clark asked, looking at the huge portal.
"Of course, how can I spend my own money to repair the subway to work?" Bruce rolled his eyes slightly and said, "I am a part-time worker and I am not a believer in God, so I will not go to work at my own expense."
"I feel like you have to find a class for yourself just to avoid being scolded by Thomas." Diana pointed out pointedly, "In order to let him unfreeze your card and give up the idea of having a second child between them."
"Please, do you know how many Batmans there are in the whole universe?" Bruce complained: "If they don't think they have enough sons, they will go to other universes to catch them. Why do they have to give birth to them by themselves? Is it not me who will take care of them in the end? It's not easy to get love.
Now that Sha has grown up, I don’t want to take care of any more children!”
Diana snorted twice, shrugged and said, "You won't succeed. Your parents are still young, and you will have younger brothers and sisters sooner or later."
After they passed through the portal, what they came to was not a universe, but a circular office floating in a dark space. There was a huge table in the middle, with a holographic projection of the structure of the universe floating on the table.
Bruce walked over and pressed the button, and several of the holographic projections lit up. He was just one of the dots. Bruce said: "Let's go here first. I've seen it. This Batman is quite good and has very strong strength."
.”
Diana and Clark narrowed their eyes together.
After passing through the portal formed by light points, Clark and Diana found themselves in Arkham Asylum. Of course, this was not because they were familiar with the environment here, but because the fragments of the fallen sign were placed there.
At their feet.
Bruce walked leisurely, and Clark sniffed his nose and said, "It seems that it doesn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. Is this really the Dark Multiverse? It feels like it's no different from where we are except that the air is a little bit humid."
"The magic elements are obviously more intense." Diana snapped her fingers, made a ball of lighting flames in her hands and said: "I guess many magics that are not strong will perform better here, but
The upper limit is still unknown.”
"Where is the Batman we're looking for?" Clark asked.
"I guess he's in the asylum, but we'd better be careful, he's a big guy."
"Big guy?" Diana raised her eyebrows and said, "I never thought you would use this word to describe any Batman. I don't think you have a good impression of them."
"That's true, but this one is really big."
After walking around the corner, as Bruce's voice fell, the three of them focused their attention on the huge footprints in the corridor ahead.
"Roar--!!!!!!"
Click! Bang!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge head broke through the wall next to it and stretched out from the stairwell. Its sharp teeth flashing with cold light and eyes boiling with murderous intent were particularly bright in the dim space.
Diana and Clark were stunned.
What emerged from the stairwell was a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex, with the upper part black and the lower part gray.
The three already very strong humans looked very small against his huge figure. They all raised their heads and looked at this behemoth.
"Don't tell me it's Batman."
"He is, look at his color scheme."
"No, don't let me..."
"Look at the scales on his neck." Diana said aloud, "Don't you think that looks familiar?"
Clark took a closer look and discovered that the scales that seemed to be close to the skin were actually not scales, but layers of cold batarangs.
