Elsa's eyes widened the moment she saw the egg. Batman immediately caught her expression, looked at her and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"Well... I saw a manuscript in Professor Schiller's room." Elsa thought about her words and said: "I believe there should be no such coincidence. The origin of this thing is not simple."
After hearing Professor Schiller's name, everyone who was familiar with this name fell silent. If Schiller knew about this in advance, does their appearance here now have something to do with him?
Batman thinks this possibility is very high, because it is impossible that all the contaminated Batmans happened to be gathered here, and if Schiller brought them here, does he think there is an answer to the problem here?
But no matter what, they have to keep going, because this mutant named David is also a big trouble. Who knows where his personalities will go if they escape, even if one of them enters his own universe, it will be difficult.
, it still needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
So the group of people started to head outside the city. However, according to the time manipulator, there is no way to get out of this city in a normal way. There will be an invisible air wall when they reach the border. If they want to get out, they can only use the portal and be teleported directly to
castle.
Batwoman questioned this, "So how did those group of personalities fighting on the grassland get out?"
"It is precisely because they ran away that this city has such restrictions. It should have been added by David in the castle."
"You haven't told us what the machine you are working on is," Elsa said.
"That's Moira's way of solving the problem." The time manipulator sighed and said, "You will see her in the castle soon, and she will tell you then."
They followed the time manipulator to the portal. When sending them away, the time manipulator warned: "I guess David and Moira are both mentally unstable now. You'd better not provoke them.
And if this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, you'd better get rid of the things in the time stream as soon as possible."
Everyone said goodbye to the time manipulator and came to the castle. Before their feet even touched the ground, they heard the fierce quarrel coming from upstairs.
"You know this is not what he wants. Your so-called rescue is just to satisfy your own selfish desires. It will not let him rest at all. Stop it." A helpless female voice came.
"The same goes for you." A male voice said: "You built that machine just to satisfy yourself. Since he can no longer decide his future, it is up to us to decide, and who among us will naturally have his own merits.
ability."
"I don't want to fight with you here." The female voice said, "That will ruin everything. Why don't you ask your real friends?"
"I have no friends." came the cold reply.
"David, it's David." Charles said.
His voice seemed to alarm the two people upstairs, and soon two figures appeared in front of everyone. One of them was the David that Charles knew well. He had the same personality as David and possessed incredible power.
.
The other one is a woman. They know that this is probably the Moira that the time manipulator calls, but they still don't know who this Moira is and what abilities she has.
"Don't get excited, David." Batman took the lead to reassure: "We are here to help you."
"I don't need help." David still said with a straight face: "You should go back to where you came from. I can solve these problems by myself."
"Your solution is to let all your personality out." Moira ruthlessly exposed David and said: "You don't care what the real world will become, and you don't care what happens to ordinary people."
"Don't you care too?" David turned to look at Moira and said, "You don't even care whether the universe will be destroyed."
"I am looking for a way to prevent the destruction of both universes." Moira said very calmly: "When the machine is built, all personalities will return to their original origins, and David will return."
"Then he will collapse and despair, because that is not the result he wants at all." David said: "He personally gave these memory carriers soul and life, and if you end them, he will hate you.
"
"He won't, because he knows that the current situation is out of control, and I have to do this in order not to destroy him and the outside world."
"Does he really love this world?"
The question silenced Moira, who ultimately did not answer, but said: "I don't know, David, I don't know that he should love the world? After everything he's been through."
David's expression relaxed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know, Mom, but I know that when he comes back, he finds himself alone, and then all the changes he makes are meaningless.
, I can’t allow this to happen.”
"Wait a minute." Someone suddenly said something. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Peter. Peter stretched out a hand and said, "Can you first explain what is going on? Who is he in your mouth? He does
What?"
"And you are his mother." Peter looked at Moira calmly, obviously feeling that the two of them didn't look alike.
"I'm not his real mother," Moira said, looking very patient, "but his imaginary mother."
Most of the people present understood it, after all, most of the people present were Batman.
"What did David do then?" Batman asked.
"The dividing point was the terrorist attack." Moira sighed softly and said: "Before that, David only gave part of his power to his imaginary friend, who had been accompanying him when he was growing up.
His, his only good friend in the spiritual world."
"Together, they shaped his spiritual world and built grasslands and castles. They were things David always wanted to see, and life in Paris was a sweet and sour memory that he had to face."
"So he didn't lose control at that time."
"Yes, there will be no extra personality at that time." Moira nodded, sat cross-legged on the spot, and said as if recalling: "David has always been happy with their company, even though there are many people in reality.
Things don't go well, but the spiritual space is his safe place, where he can escape from all troubles."
"And when the terrorist attack happened, he hated himself for not doing anything and hating himself for doing too much, so he chose to go to destruction, but in the end, he was not willing to let his friends destroy with him."
"In order to prevent his imaginary friends from leaving with him when he dies, he chooses to disintegrate himself and give his spiritual energy to all his beautiful memories, or just memories."
Peter took a breath. David actually disintegrated himself. No wonder he could have so many personalities dancing around in his own mental space.
"What about the personalities that are still emerging?" Charles asked.
"Some are memory fragments that are still gaining energy, and some I don't know." Moira shook her head and said: "There are many astral wanderers who have noticed that there is a delicious buffet here, so
We came here and shared the energy, but now we have trapped them all."
"So what are you going to do now?" Peter asked.
"I will release all these personalities." David said: "With more and more split personalities, this space has become extremely unstable. The home David and his imaginary friends created here
It was also destroyed by the war, and I can't tolerate all this."
"And that was David's wish, that his friends could live and be free, which they deserved."
"No, David, you can't do that." Moira retorted: "This will cause chaos in the real world. The universe there does not have as strong a carrying capacity as you imagine, and you do not have the ability to put them there."
Send them all to reality.”
"The personalities that left have gained freedom, but what about those who stay? Will they also want freedom, so they start to impact the spiritual world more violently? You must take this into consideration..."
Peter did not question David very angrily, he just looked at Moira and said: "What about you, madam, how do you plan to solve it?"
"I built a machine." Moira lowered her head and said: "It can restore the energy in all personalities, use them to fill the cracks in the current spiritual world, and let them return to their original appearance."
"You're killing them."
"I'm just doing it for everyone's benefit."
"Don't quarrel." Peter stopped them immediately and said, "May I ask, can we still seek the advice of the real David now?"
Moira shook her head and said: "I haven't seen him since that time. I think his consciousness has dissipated."
"Maybe not yet." David raised his voice and said, "He might be hiding somewhere and watching us, and if you do this, it will make him even more sad and disappointed."
"Stop for a moment." Helen said aloud: "Do you plan to release all these personalities? How do you plan to release them?"
"I can embody some of their bodies in reality..."
"Isn't that all?"
"Many of their personalities do not have complete thinking capabilities. They cannot control the body, so even if they are manifested, it would be meaningless."
"What I mean is, if personalities are still being produced continuously and your power is limited, won't you still be filled sooner or later?"
"He probably doesn't have much power left." David said, but his own tone sounded guilty. In fact, he didn't know why there were more and more personalities, otherwise there would be no need to go to Schiller.
But Peter touched his chin and said: "I think the real David may not have disappeared. Even if his consciousness dissipated at that time, there must still be some traces of the power he left behind."
"Since he caused this incident, he must be responsible for it and make a decision. No one can replace him, so instead of thinking about how to deal with these personalities here, it is better to think about how to get the real David back.
.”
"But even if David's consciousness still remains among the energies that have been divided into various personalities, how can we extract the consciousness and merge it into one without harming these personalities?"
The question raised by David made everyone look at each other in confusion. This could be regarded as asking about their blind spots in knowledge. The main reason is that this situation is too rare. No one has experienced this kind of thing among so many Batmans.
"Wait, it seems that everyone has not seen it." Batman in the main universe thought for a moment, looked at Peter, and asked: "Is Dr. Schiller available?"
