The others looked down at the pool containing the psychedelic liquid, only to find that several metals thrown in before were gone. On the contrary, Peter's body was turning psychedelic light, and his eyes were shining with the luster of metal.
Jerome's eyes widened in surprise. He walked up to Peter, stretched out his nose and sniffed. He obviously smelled the Dionysus factor. He grabbed Peter's hand and took out a knife from nowhere.
It seemed that he wanted to cut Peter's palm open.
Peter was so frightened that he wanted to pull his hand away, but after taking a look at Schiller and finding that he had no expression, he knew that Jerome did not want to hurt him, so he let Jerome hold his hand.
Jerome used a knife to scratch Peter's palm without using any force, but the tip of the knife melted as soon as it touched Peter's palm, and the metal turned into a pool of liquid and melted into Peter's body.
Peter blinked, not understanding what was going on, because it was not his operation at all. He took a deep breath and stared at the palm of his hand intently. After a while, a small piece of black metal appeared.
, obviously the blade that had just been swallowed.
What is this? A humanoid steel-making furnace? Peter was a little confused, and then he felt as if he could control his skin, so he took another deep breath, and silver-white light appeared on the surface of his skin, forming in an instant
Got a new spider suit.
Cobblet came over and touched the tights, and then said: "This is like the piece of metal in Alfred's head, which is the fragment of the spaceship that Thomas found in Africa."
"That is N metal." Schiller said again: "It has many magical qualities, but the most important thing is that it is very hard, and almost nothing can break through its defense."
"You should have absorbed five metals and possessed the ability of metals." Schiller said: "Think about it carefully and see if you have a few more memories."
Schiller is actually referring to the most special one among the five metals, which is bat gold. Logically speaking, this metal is related to Batman, and an owl priest must personally inject it into Batman's body as a way to open the door.
The final key to the door.
But it may be that these five inaccurate metals have undergone certain mutations under the catalysis of amber gold. All the metals have been absorbed into Peter's body. But Peter is not Batman, so what can Bat Gold bring to him?
Not sure either.
Peter closed his eyes and recalled carefully, suddenly showing a look of pain, but he soon became relieved again. He said: "I saw many different scenes. It seemed that in ancient times, there were a group of people dressed like birds walking around.
Kneel down, then there are bats, and a huge iron furnace..."
Hearing the iron furnace, Schiller felt something. After all, Barbatos has a close relationship with the World Forger. This big iron furnace should be the World Forge. Unexpectedly, Bat Gold is also related to the World Forge. Could it be Barbatos?
The metal that Toth stole from the Forge of the World when he defected?
There are ten major metals in the DC world. The first five were fed to Batman during the Metal Event and were used as keys to open the passage to the dark universe. The tenth became the key to reversal.
Each of these five metals has its own magical properties, and the specific origins of some have been explained, such as N metal, which is said to be a rare metal produced in the universe, similar to vibranium, and is used by some advanced civilizations to make the shells of spaceships.
, focusing on an indestructible one.
However, there are some metals related to magic that have never explained their specific origins, such as bat gold. Its properties and functions are very strange. It can amplify magic energy. Schiller originally speculated whether this metal might be related to the Upside Down Man, but
Now it seems that the memory carried in this metal shows that this thing may be some kind of treasure of the World Forger.
But now that it has been absorbed by Peter, Peter should have similar abilities. Schiller took out the unused candle, broke off a small section, and stuffed it into Peter's hand.
Peter didn't understand why at first, but the moment he touched the candle, his eyes widened in shock, and he felt a huge amount of energy flow into his body.
When he covered the surface of his body with these energies, his whole body almost turned into a ball of flowing mercury, emitting a sparkling brilliance.
Peter felt like he could use this energy to do something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. He had read many books on occultism and magic in the black sun before, and he also knew that there were magicians in this world.
, but at that time he had no energy in his body and didn't know how to use magic.
Now that he has energy, he also knows the appearance of several spells, but he doesn't know why he can't cast them. He thinks it may be that what he learned on paper is shallow, but it's not convenient to experiment here, so he still has to go back to black.
Only in the sun can we study it carefully.
For a scholar-type personality like Peter, finding a new topic but not being able to study it right away was a headache. He wanted to leave immediately, but he heard Schiller ask Jerome what the hell they were doing.
The thing is, Peter was also curious about the truth, so he could only hold back his anxiety and listen carefully.
In addition to the story of Martha and Thomas, Jerome also has a story, which is nothing more than a series of experiences after Jerome joined the insurance company as an investigator.
In fact, he really doesn't have any conspiracy. Again, after finishing fighting Batman, the Joker also needs to buy food and cook when he goes home. After all, he is not a rich man. How can he get the money to live if he doesn't work?
Because of his mental problems, Jerome has a relatively low level of education. Many formal companies do not accept him. He does not like to join gangs, so he can only find some jobs that rely on his brain in the cracks between black and white.
He used to work in a financial agency to help people make false accounts, and met a colleague who later switched jobs to an insurance company. This insurance company also did shady things. Simply put, the business was to trick people into buying insurance without paying compensation.
As for non-compensation, there are many ways to do it, either by declaring the accident to be artificial, or simply asking someone to threaten to cancel the contract.
The financial agency where Jerome worked was quickly taken over. He had nowhere to go, so he was introduced to the insurance company by his former colleague. He was very good at this job, especially in forging evidence.
He helped the company solve many problems and was quickly promoted and became a mainstay.
It was around this time that various anomalies began to erupt in Gotham City. Many people died in tragic accidents, and many witnesses claimed that monsters killed them.
Some of them bought insurance from this insurance company, and Jerome naturally took responsibility for it. At first, he didn't think there was a real monster. He felt that someone was working against their company and deliberately created such rumors to make them
The company pays more money.
But after checking, Jerome felt something was wrong. He found that there was indeed an evil god hidden in this city, but at that time he didn't know that the person who did it was Bruce.
The one who locked onto Bruce Wayne was Jerome.
As mentioned before, Jerome is different from his younger brother. He is a natural sadist and disguises it very well. Not only did he go to a good university, but he also has a very impressive resume, so it was easy for him to join Wayne Group.
He didn't go there for Bruce at first, he just wanted to add something to his resume. After all, in this era, Wayne Group is already a dominant company, and working here is considered a pretty good job experience.
Then he met Bruce Wayne.
Jerome disguised himself very well, and soon became friends with Bruce. Both of them were young genius scientists, and they ended up talking about everything. It was at that time that Jerome discovered that something was wrong with Bruce.
.
Combined with the constant monster attacks in the city, Jerome thought that Bruce was controlled by the evil god, so he wanted to direct and act in a play, where a hero saves the beauty, so as to further gain Bruce's trust.
Jerome can be considered a genius of sorts. He has actually long discovered that the brain waves of those who are controlled by monsters to attack others are abnormal, so he developed a machine called a brain wave impactor, which can only target those controlled by evil gods.
Once someone comes, the other person's brain waves will be completely disrupted, and the pollution will burst out.
Jerome found the right opportunity to trick Bruce into the factory and gave him a shot. Unexpectedly, Bruce was not the one being manipulated at all. As he continued to shoot, Bruce directly discovered the prototype, and the tentacles all over the mountains and plains almost disappeared.
Scared Jerome to death.
But even so, Jerome, the yandere, still did not give up his plan. He simply turned the machine on and off. The coverage area of this thing covers about half of Gotham, and the central area covering Gotham is
No problem.
But what he didn't know was that besides Bruce, there were other contaminated creatures within the area covered by the machine. They immediately went crazy, and the abnormalities hidden in many buildings also broke out, resulting in 20
The sudden change that happened the day before.
Arrogant's evaluation of Jerome is also hit the mark, because after Bruce was affected by the brainwave blaster and got into trouble, the first person he wanted to find was not Jerome, but his brother Jerome.
Rom.
Because in fact, Bruce did not deal with Jerome as often as he did with that damn insurance investigator. Bruce may have some common topics with Jerome, but he regarded Jerome as a threat, so he
When encountering big trouble, the first thing you think of is your enemy.
Jerome realized that something was wrong and turned off the machine, but it was too late. Changes occurred in the whole city. He had to search the city's brain waves again and found the hotel with the most serious problem and rushed over. Who knew Jerome
Mu also came and the two of them strayed into different time and space.
Jerome knew that Jerome would come, so he tried to use his advantage in the past to contact Jerome. The two had to cooperate even if they didn't want to, so they had to hold their noses and admit it.
But Jerome knew much more than Jerome. After all, he had been investigating matters related to Bruce Jr., and had also tracked down Gotham Cathedral's knowledge of Martha's plan.
Bruce Jr. in this universe did not become Batman, and Jerome naturally did not become the Joker on the surface. However, in the process of tracking down the anomalies, Jerome also found that something was wrong with him. His body was not sensitive to certain abnormal phenomena.
It is resistant to damage and recovers very quickly.
Jerome is not a scientist, but he gradually discovered that the problem appeared in his blood. Combined with what he learned about Martha's plan, he believed that the mysterious Dionysian factor with self-healing ability existed in his body.
He kidnapped a blood scientist, extracted his own blood and refined it. Sure enough, a green mysterious substance was extracted, which was consistent with the green metal that Martha left in the clues in Gotham Cathedral.
Jerome wanted to rule the city, not destroy it. He knew that the way to save the city was to follow Martha's plan and first collect the metal that could open the passage, so he entered with the Dionysian factor.
hotel, and finally followed the guide to the underground ancient city.
