Chapter 4544 The Day of Brightest Light (Part 3)
Batman wasn't inside Apocalypse Realm. They witnessed this earth-shattering spectacle from Earth. And because they were observers, they saw it all with exceptional clarity. They saw exactly how the dark forces surged into Apocalypse Realm, how they clung to it, and how they dragged it into the tunnel.
They didn't see the latter part of what happened in the inanimate area. But that loud "bang" even echoed through the passage. They could roughly guess what had happened without even looking. Some of the more lively Batmen were also day students—they couldn't stay at school.
Not wanting to appear too out of place, the Great Adventurer Batman tried hard to suppress the corner of his mouth and said, "That sounds painful, doesn't it?"
Batman also pursed his lips tightly. "I guess he's bald, and without hair to cushion the sound, his voice is so clear."
Ben Batman, a former victim, still maintained his cunning demeanor, but the light tapping of his fingers on the armrest betrayed his current gleeful mood. These young people nowadays, they just have no spirit of sharing. You've already secured the Apocalypse Domain, taking another Earth wouldn't have been a problem for you, so why didn't you see the Black Death Emperor get a beating?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the tentacles of the dark power enveloped the Earth and dragged it into the tunnel.
While I'm certainly eager to see the spectacle, this behavior is undeniably dangerous. After all, facing the true form of the Black Death Emperor is a mysterious being of multiverse scale; is it really a good idea to throw your home planet in his face?
However, this universe's Justice League seemed determined to prove that there's no limit to madness. Earth and Apokolips didn't stop. They were surrounded by a massive surge of dark power. Earth crashed into the Apokolips Domain, and the Apokolips Domain crashed into the Black Death Emperor, like a snooker game, one crashing into the other. While the Black Death Emperor was still unconscious, he was sent flying.
Then this series of bizarre things passed through the lifeless realm, flew back through the passage of the dark realm, flew into the real universe, flew directly into the Prometheus Realm at the edge of the single universe, and then slammed onto the Origin Wall with a thud.
Things became even more awkward.
The Origin Wall is essentially the boundary of a single universe. The entire DC multiverse can be viewed as a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Each parallel universe is a glutinous rice ball, and all these glutinous rice balls are soaking in "Heavenly Blood." Various mysterious entities are also within this soup. The Origin Wall is the outer layer of these glutinous rice balls, separating the various parallel universes.
The Origin Wall has a peculiar property: anything that touches it will be stuck. Whether you're a mysterious entity or belong to a special realm, once you touch it, you'll be stuck, completely immobilized. Many extremely powerful figures in major events have been stuck to the Origin Wall. This is the origin of the famous saying "hanging on the wall."
You can think of this as a giant spider web, specifically designed to catch small flying insects. Over the years, countless mysterious creatures have been hanging on the wall.
During the divine event, Black Hand, the Black Emperor's representative, released some beings by contacting the Wall of Origin. This proves that the Black Emperor's power can interfere with the Wall of Origin. If he had been summoned there himself, he should have been able to break free on his own.
Unfortunately, he wasn't hanging on the wall alone; he was bumped into. And the two unfortunate creatures who bumped into him held him tightly, refusing to let him go.
The Black Emperor, waking from his coma, found himself hanging on the wall. To his left was the Apocalypse Realm, and to his right was Earth. That's right, to trap the Black Emperor on the wall, Bruce had hung both the Apocalypse Realm and Earth there.
He hung up the Apocalypse Domain because the passage to the Dark Realm was opening within it, and he needed to use the portal to channel dark power to hold back the Black Death Emperor. So, of course, he couldn't let the Apocalypse Domain escape.
Hanging Earth up here is purely for Earth's eyes to watch the drama unfold. Everyone's stuck to the wall, just staring at each other. Since you can't touch me anyway, I'll just stand here and enjoy the show.
However, the Origin Wall has another property: any living object that gets stuck on it will become an unconscious vegetable. Both time and space will be frozen there, as if a pause button has been pressed, leaving it completely stuck.
Now, Earth is stuck, and so is the Apocalypse Realm. All living beings within it have been frozen in time; their bodies and consciousness are paralyzed. This includes not only the entire Justice League, but also Batman, who was watching from Earth, and even Bruce Wayne.
Clearly, the code access to the Origin Wall is extremely high; even Lucifer would have several hairs stuck to it, let alone these beings within the universe. The only one who could potentially lead them out, the Black Death Emperor, was interfered with by dark forces. He wasn't easily free to begin with, and now, bound by the dark forces, he was immobilized. Thus, all three were stuck here.
However, the only survivor of this disaster was Schiller, who had known all along that there was something fishy about the Origin Wall.
When Schiller saw Earth, carrying the Apocalypse Domain, collide with the Black Death Emperor, he knew Bruce was definitely going to pull off something big. But when he saw the shimmering light of the Prometheus Domain and the familiar Wall of Origin, he didn't even have time to curse Bruce in his mind. He immediately abandoned his body and consciousness and returned to the tower, thus avoiding the tragedy of being hung on the wall as a vegetable.
Of course, back in the tower, his swearing was quite offensive. A figure in a white coat strolled down from upstairs, leaned on the railing of the courtyard, looked down, and said, "What's going on? I haven't heard you swear like that in a long time."
Arrogance raised its head, rolled its eyes at Greed, opened its mouth to speak, but didn't know where to begin. "DC, DC, how are you going to repay what you owe me?" "Oh, I'm a DC person myself, never mind then."
Arrogance sighed deeply and decided to start with the outcome. "Earth, the Apocalypse Realm, and the Black Death Emperor were all hung on the Origin Wall."
Greed nearly choked him. He leaned on the railing, coughing for a long time before finally managing to utter, "...Huh???"
“Let me guess.” Greed stretched out a hand to stop Pride from continuing, and said, “Bruce did it. And you thought it was no big deal, so you ignored him. Now that something’s really happened, you’re trying to bail him out.”
Arrogance was speechless. Greed covered his forehead and said, "Others learn from their mistakes, but you keep making the same mistake..."
“It was us,” Arrogance said. “When you were driving your Cosmic Speedway back then, didn’t I say anything to you?”
Greed remained silent, and the two faced each other in silence. Finally, Greed sighed first and said, "So what do you plan to do? How do you plan to bring them down?"
“Just bring Earth down,” said Arrogance. “The other two can be ignored; let them stick there.”
"The problem is, getting the Earth down won't be easy, right? That wall sticks to everyone. Even Darkseid's father, Yuga Khan, and Superman Supreme couldn't get off. How are we going to get the Earth down?"
“There will always be a way,” Arrogance said after a moment’s thought. “This is a long-term plan, but right now there’s an even bigger problem.”
"what?"
"The Batman Legion from the multiverse is also on Earth."
Greed gasped. "You even captured Batman???"
“Not really,” Arrogance said. “There were only about 20 Batmen. That includes Batmen from the main universe.”
Greed rubbed his eyes again and said, "Congratulations. Your student has accomplished a feat that no villain in the entire multiverse has been able to achieve—taking down more than 20 Batmen in one go, all from major universes. Give him the Best Joker Award."
“We didn’t kill them,” Arrogance said. “They’re just temporarily immobilized. It’s good to let those workaholics rest for a while.”
"So how do you plan to explain to their Justice League that Batman has been in your universe and hasn't returned yet?"
“This is the big problem I was talking about.” Arrogance walked towards the tower and said, “Brute force obviously won’t do to bring Earth down. But we really don’t know enough about the Wall of Origin. By the way, did the doctor write you a letter?”
Greed paused for a moment, then said, "No. But the last time I saw him, he said..."
Arrogance paused, turned to Greed, and asked, "You saw him?"
"Please, can't you spare a moment to look at your memories?!" Greed said, exasperated. "You can't even look at something this important???"
Arrogance said, "During the Lights Out event, the Lanterns all returned to the Wall of Origin. This proves that the origin of the emotional spectrum is on the Wall of Origin. The Doctor must know something about this."
"Are you going to go find him?" Greed thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should still be rushing around to different places. But with so many Batmen hanging on the wall, can he really wait until the big event begins?"
His arrogant hand paused. "Where will he be waiting for the show to start now?"
Greed calculated for a moment, then said, "All I know is that Batman in the main universe is searching for him all over the universe. You know that. To deal with the Black Lanterns, and to better utilize the power of the Seven Lanterns, there must be a conversation between them."
Even Arrogance couldn't help but sigh. He'd already hung the main universe Batman on the wall; how was the main universe Batman supposed to dig out the first Genie? If they couldn't dig him out, wouldn't the doctor have waited in vain?
“I have a plan,” said Greed. “You just wait and see.”
After a while, a figure with medium-length hair appeared at the bottom of the tower. He looked at the two of them and said, "What is it now?"
"We've run into a bit of trouble... Anyway, we need to guide the Justice League of the main universe to dig out Genie I."
“I see,” he said with a smile. “I can’t wait to see the doctor’s expression when he finds out that it wasn’t Batman who dug him out, but Superman.”
Meanwhile, in the BVS cinematic universe, Superman frowned as he stared at the long-dormant Battle Arena interface. The last security alert had timed out by five minutes. He stood up and said to Ron, "Summon the Justice League. Batman might be in trouble."
