Chapter 4118 MU: The Superbody Incident (The End)
Greed waved to the original Amazing Spider-Man, and he ran over. Greed gave him a few instructions, then went back to get reinforcements. Soon, the Avengers, the Justice League, and the mutants arrived together. The group met in the next office.
"How's it going? How many did you sell?" Greed asked.
"We're rich! We're rich!" Iron Man grinned first. "The information about Darkseid sold for the highest price. And there's more, Batman bought a lot of information from us too. And S.H.I.E.L.D..."
The Justice League on Earth-1 appears to have been formed, but it only has Spider-Man, no Batman. And their formation is clearly not for fighting crime. If we must pinpoint a purpose, it boils down to one thing—gathering intelligence.
As the only universe that merges two universes, their side is truly a melting pot. They can find all the superheroes and supervillains from both universes; there's no one they don't know.
The old 616 crew were seasoned veterans, familiar with every villain, both on and off Earth, and knew every superhero like the back of their hand. They were Batman's biggest source of intelligence in this war.
As we all know, intelligence is paramount in any scheme. Without it, it's difficult to devise plans like exploiting runaway mutants, destroying the brainwave amplifier, and assassinating Charles. After all, there are no mutants in Batman's universe. While one might have heard that mutants are unstable, the extent of their instability and which unstable individuals could be exploited require intelligence. And the providers of this intelligence are the mutants from the merged universe.
Providing their own intelligence is naturally very clear. They can detail everything from anonymity and emotional instability to even the smallest details of a person's life. But how could such detailed information be sold cheaply? This is practically ripping Batman off.
And that's how the Justice League on Earth-1 was formed. After all, they also needed to sell intelligence to Marvel during the war, but they were relatively young, didn't recognize their cosmic-level adversaries, and didn't even know all their own people. Seeing Kuku making money selling intelligence next door, could they really sit idly by?
There was no way around it; even Spider-Man Bruce Wayne, who wasn't keen on getting involved, understood the principle of give and take. They were more likely to compete in the future, and if the other side made a fortune while they didn't, they would definitely be outdone.
They had no choice but to band together, exchanging information among themselves before venturing into space or engaging with more experienced counterparts in other universes, acting as information brokers. They made quite a bit of money in the process.
As for who gave them the bad idea of becoming information brokers, it can't be entirely attributed to greed. They themselves had this idea in mind, and greed was at most a distributor.
After all, being on the front lines, Greed could easily get in touch with the command posts of both sides, so it was quite normal for him to act as a go-between and do some communications engineering.
Of course, he wasn't going to work for nothing. It was time to split the profits, wasn't it? As agreed beforehand, he would take 15% of all the revenue. But he didn't want energy or physical goods; he only wanted Battle Realm Points. Both sides felt a pang of regret when they gave away the Battle Realm Points.
They buy everything indiscriminately—energy, technology, items, anything useful. But their commission is only in points. They don't have many points; they've basically all gone to greed.
Greedy is quite satisfied. Even though it's only a 15% commission, he doesn't bear any costs; he just runs the errands. Plus, it's points-based payment, and there aren't many people who can afford to spend heavily these days, so Battle Realm points are still relatively scarce. After Greedy makes his fortune this time, we'll probably see another period of deflation.
After collecting the accounts, Greed hummed a little tune as he returned to the conference room. His timing was perfect; the administrators were just coming in to announce the final results.
The meeting room fell silent. Everyone listened intently, afraid of missing a single word. After all, if it were an exam, this would be the time to announce the results.
The Transcendent cleared his throat and stepped onto the stage first, saying, "First, we will announce the outcome of this war. Second, we will have detailed data, including energy consumption, damage inflicted, and injuries sustained, which can be used for your post-war review. Okay, let's start with the results."
"Judging from the outcome of the final battle, before the final winner was decided, everyone except Batman and Iron Man returned to the Battle Realm due to the energy burst, so you were never going to see the result."
Everyone knew he wasn't just making excuses for the lack of an ending animation; he was saying that these two were the last ones left. So whoever survived to the end would be the winner.
"The program logs show that the erasure performed by the Infinity Stones used by Batman took effect earlier and had higher authority. Therefore, Iron Man should have been erased first."
A burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the conference room. Stark sighed and said, "Actually, I had a feeling about this. After all, the Infinity Stones are the underlying code of the universe, and the modifications I made are no match for those of the system administrator."
Everyone patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. After all, most of the universe knows the power of the Infinity Stones, and Batman's journey to obtain them was quite thrilling. It's only natural that he would unleash such immense power in the end.
But at that moment, the one who surpassed him suddenly said, "But..."
The cheers abruptly stopped, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again. Some people had already started yelling, "Can't you just say it all at once?!"
"What 'but'?! Could it be that someone is still alive?"
“Indeed,” said the Transcendent, “to be precise, he was just resurrected at that exact moment.”
Everyone was puzzled, wondering who he was talking about. But the Beyonder focused his gaze on Constantine of the main universe.
Constantine from the main universe smiled.
Then came the death stare from the main universe's Batman.
“Before the war began, I took on a mission,” Constantine of the main universe shrugged. “Of course, my main mission was to gather intelligence on Batman’s orders. But I also took on a side job: creating a suitable body for a poor little girl who died of a heart attack. This required using my Ash Doppelganger technology and also involved a ritual. The ritual would take some time. And wouldn’t you know it, little Anya finally got her body while you were fighting the final battle? Let’s cheer for her!”
Constantine was met with a punch the size of a sandbag from the main universe's Batman.
This is utterly ridiculous coincidence; Constantine did it on purpose. Being teammates with this guy is a recipe for disaster. Not to mention, Batman in the main universe is constantly ordering him around; if he doesn't pull off a major stunt for Batman, he's not Constantine.
This guy definitely planned this all along; otherwise, there's no way to explain why this little girl, who's only a spiritual being, would sign up for the war. Even her own father, Eric, probably doesn't know. Because the main universe's Batman had just retracted his fist, and then Eric's fist followed immediately.
In order to create a suitable body for Anya, Eric had to entrust his daughter's spiritual body to Constantine for a period of time, and as a result, this guy actually took people to sign up.
Coincidentally, there was no age limit for registration this time, so Franklin's kids could all register, and Anya could too. However, Eric wasn't involved in command, and he hadn't seen the list, so he didn't know his daughter was on it. When the people at command saw someone named Anya Lansheer, they assumed Eric had registered her. After all, if Reed Richards could register his newborn son, it wouldn't be strange to register another child; Eric must have his reasons for registering his daughter.
Little did they know that Constantine had tricked them into coming, coaxing the little girl into signing up, all to sabotage Batman.
After registering, Constantine took Anya to perform the ritual. The ritual did take some time, but it was also to conceal Anya's existence. Only when everyone else had died in the final battle, and only Anya was alive, would Marvel win.
"How do you know we're all going to die?" the main universe Batman asked.
Constantine collapsed to the ground, wiped the blood from his nose, and said, "Would you believe me if I said I could make prophecies?"
You can't really say that Batman in the main universe doesn't believe in superstitions. Constantine is good at dealing with these kinds of supernatural things. What if he really made a prediction?
“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Greed said mercilessly, “because even if he fails, he won’t lose anything and will still get the reward from the mutants. It’s just a gamble.”
The main universe's Batman sighed deeply. Despite all his calculations, he still lost to this scoundrel.
Constantine chuckled softly, then said, “You should learn your lesson, Batman. Anyone who works with me will end up badly. Never count on me again.”
Every DC superhero present wanted to punch him, but Constantine was a coward who'd be licking your hand even if you punched him. He could even bite a giant octopus; what wouldn't he dare to do?
So although everyone glared at him angrily, no one dared to approach. It just goes to show that when someone is rotten to a certain degree, everyone has to make way for them, even Batman. If he were born in Gotham, the Joker would have to run away clutching his backside.
Such a large-scale battle ended in such a somewhat comical way. But since there were no prizes for the winners, it all just faded away.
If we have to say, those who started this war have all received their due punishment. The reputation of the main Marvel Cinematic Universe is now utterly ruined. Forget about being a leader of the multiverse; if they want to regain their place in the future, they'll have to perform well, or they'll be relegated to the sidelines.
Ultron is in an even worse situation; he's been targeted by the mechanical overlord Iron Man. His near-perfect physique is like a tempting piece of meat, something no electronic life form would want. Ultron from the central universe is even planning to go after him, so it's clear he won't be around for much longer.
As for Lucy, although she was created under the influence of Ultron, she didn't do anything inherently bad. Now, with the power of the Equation of Life, she should be returning to the DC multiverse to fight against the unknown darkness.
As for Schiller, if he had to pinpoint a gain, it wasn't the points he earned from selling intelligence, but rather the emerging consciousness within the magic defense network. Upon returning from the Battle Realm and passing through the magic defense network, all the superheroes sensed something different; they felt a slightly unfamiliar gaze upon them. Perhaps it won't be long before Earth develops its own consciousness.
And it was precisely for this reason that Greed, for the first time ever, received an invitation from Pride. The letter was brief, but entirely in the style of Pride:
"Autumn is coming, and we invite you to celebrate Halloween. Batman from the main universe will be there."
Upon seeing the last sentence, Greed jumped up from the sofa. If Batman from the main universe went to the universe where Pride resides, wouldn't he know about Brainiac's existence?!
He absolutely has to see this! Here we go!
The longest incident is finally over!
It was quite enjoyable writing, now I'll write something about daily life to relax.
