Chapter 4111 MU: The Superbody Incident (188)
Schiller is currently at war and unable to travel across worlds to return to DC, but Diana has already gone back; she can return home. Schiller sent Diana a message directly, asking her to go to Apollo's Realm of Light, move the cannon, and then send it to him via item mail.
In the Battle Realm, you can send items via mail, but it costs points; the higher the quality of the item, the more points you earn. Most people wouldn't use this feature, but Schiller wasn't short of money, and now wasn't the time to save. So he gave Diana some points and had her send the cannon over.
Diana acted quickly, soon retrieving the cannon Anatoly had set up in the Light Realm and sending it to Schiller via email. Since it seemed to have originally been manufactured by Marvel, there were no errors, and it was quickly moved into Reed's laboratory.
The moment Reed saw this thing, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. It's no exaggeration to say that if his eyes could shoot X-rays, they would probably have burned through the Earth by now.
“My God, a perfect work of art!” Reed quickly turned his gaze to Schiller and said, “Quick, tell me, who made this? He’ll be a kindred spirit! I can’t wait to discuss it with him…”
“He’s not in this world,” Schiller said, shaking his head. “Besides, he probably doesn’t have time to discuss how to destroy the world with you right now. You should think of a way to build the antimatter cannon first.”
Reed paced around the cannon, jumping up and down, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, sometimes yelling, sometimes scribbling and drawing. Soon he exclaimed, "I've got an idea! My previous idea for the energy storage method was actually flawed; we can completely add a booster to the shell..."
Then he started muttering some technical jargon in a cryptic way. Schiller didn't quite understand, but he still asked, "About how long will it take to build?"
“I need some specialized materials.” Reed stopped, his eyes shining as he looked at Schiller. “I need to add a booster system to antimatter energy, and I need an energy completely different from it. I think magic would be good, but to isolate the two forces, I need a material that is completely immune to magic…”
“I’ll get it done for you,” Schiller said. “You work on the other parts first, I’ll be right back.”
After leaving Reed's lab, Schiller went to S.H.I.E.L.D., intending to find Stark, but then he heard that Batman had arrived—it was truly a case of better timing than early arrival.
About an hour ago, Ant-Man from the main universe finally deciphered the Pym Particles left on the crystal by Pym from the central universe. Dr. Pym from the main universe had some premonition about the crystal's properties, so he deliberately chose an empty space in space. And when the crystal returned to its original form, everyone was stunned—this thing was actually a planet.
“Incredible,” Dr. Pym exclaimed. But he wasn't referring to the crystal; he was referring to the Central Universe's technology, capable of compressing a planet into invisible particles. If this technology were applied to Earth, who could find it?
However, Dr. Pym and the Batmen soon began a series of studies on the crystal. They quickly discovered that it could be used to create teleportation portals, essentially allowing them to target any point, much like the Bifrost in Asgard.
However, Batman also discovered that this thing possessed a very peculiar energy, unlike any they had ever seen before. And with each teleportation, the energy fluctuated. Because they didn't know if this energy was harmful, they dared not act rashly or use it for teleportation indiscriminately.
Batman, true to his name, quickly deciphered the usage logs of this mysterious planet, recording virtually every teleportation. They discovered that the object had been used frequently for a period, and the strange power attached to it had accumulated to its peak before being completely eradicated.
After much research, Batman discovered that this power couldn't be dispelled, only transferred, and only to people. Since the planet's accumulated power was limited, Batman attempted a transfer and discovered that it was actually a curse, with a simple effect: whoever touched it would suffer.
Because he didn't have much power accumulated yet, the main universe Batman transferred all his power to Injustice Superman—although without his consent, since there were no serious consequences anyway. Then he discovered that in the next few hours, Injustice Superman was causing him a lot of trouble.
This curse of misfortune seems to be at the rule level; otherwise, it would be hard to explain how a Kryptonian with a superhuman body could trip over a threshold and almost lose a tooth.
Even the Batman of the main universe can't imagine how unlucky the people who received that huge wave of power that was previously eliminated must be.
Unfortunately, he hasn't accumulated much power yet, and it's all been transferred to Injustice Superman. If he could have accumulated more power and transferred it to Darkseid, he might have actually tripped up, then performed a series of 20 falls across the multiverse, crashing headfirst into the Living Tribunal, and been executed on the spot.
It's a pity, but once you understand the basic operating principle, the main universe Batman knows how to use it. The accumulated misfortune and curse of this thing is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change. As long as it is transferred away before the qualitative change, the channel can be opened with crystals without paying much price.
It's a pity Night Owl left too soon; otherwise, he would have been a good candidate for relocation. The main universe's Batman slightly regrets not having let the Joker send Night Owl away.
But it's okay, there's still Injustice Superman, right? This guy is so powerful that he can mind control Batman, so a little bad luck is nothing to him.
This artifact arrived just in time. The Batman of the main universe had been considering how to escape Darkseid's pursuit and successfully return to Earth. After all, if Darkseid kept chasing him, using his spaceship to return to Earth would definitely reveal Earth's location. Although Earth is fast, being caught by Darkseid would still be troublesome, and the superheroes of this world wouldn't want that. The Batman of the main universe has never wanted to give anyone cause for criticism. He had originally planned to use the Rainbow Bridge, but now it saved him the trouble.
When the experiment was conducted, the base was already almost completely cleared out, with people and equipment moved along. Of course, the main universe's Batman didn't forget Thanos either; after all, he had been an ally for a time, so taking him along was no big deal.
Of course, Thanos wouldn't dare go with him—first of all, going to Earth would be like walking into a trap, and look at Batman's last ally in the main universe, who ruined such a large planet; besides, it was Batman who had a grudge against Darkseid, and if Batman left, Darkseid wouldn't bother him. At worst, he could just go to the Ring Sector to lay low, and he would still hold his official position, so who could do anything to him?
Thanos refused to leave, and Batman from the main universe didn't try to stop him. The remaining few dozen people packed their belongings, activated the crystal teleportation portal, and instantly arrived in the solar system, where Earth was already waiting for them.
As he passed through the magical defense network, the Batman of the main universe instinctively sensed something was different, because for a moment he felt watched. Perhaps, the planet's consciousness had begun to awaken.
The main universe Batman quickly met the smiling Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D. Without further ado, he pulled out a hard drive, placed it on the table, and said, "This contains all the research data on the Apokolips shield. I've also included a document on my understanding of the solar system shield. You guys decide what to do with it."
Nick's smile widened, and he looked like he wanted nothing more than to rush over and give Batman a hug. He immediately grabbed the hard drive, put it in his drawer, and said, "Oh, you're too kind. You've come all this way, no need for a gift. Come, come, this way, the welcome dinner is all set..."
The main universe's Batman didn't refuse. He knew that the surviving superheroes were all a bit tired, and if he put them in a conference room for a dry meeting, they definitely wouldn't listen. It would be better to eat and chat at the same time.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s cafeteria wasn't as fancy as a high-end restaurant, it had the advantage of large portions, plenty of food, and a wide variety of choices. A group of superheroes, who had been consuming nutrient solutions for who knows how long, were starving and their eyes were practically glowing green. They sat down and began to devour their food.
These are considered relatively lucky; at least they can still eat in the cafeteria. Many others are sick, and coming to Earth is just like being hospitalized in a different place. Arkham Knight and Polaris are two of the unfortunate ones.
The Arkham Knight was badly wounded and underwent surgery. Although his armor had allowed him to survive the incredible explosion, many shrapnel fragments remained lodged in his body. Healing potions could only heal the wounds, not remove the shrapnel. The fact that he could still be active and energetic for over ten hours afterward was truly astonishing.
Having the wound reopened and the shrapnel removed was no pleasant experience. However, the Arkham Knight didn't even flinch. Only when he returned to his ward did he remove his mask, take off his shirt, and look at the scars on his body.
Coincidentally, at that very moment, Polaris entered.
"Ah!" she exclaimed first, then sighed, followed by a whistle, and finally circled around the Arkham Knight, marveling at his feats. The Arkham Knight practically rolled his eyes to the sky.
"Not bad," Polaris said, taking the time to stare intently at him. "I didn't realize you were such a tough guy. Are you free tonight?"
"I remember you have a boyfriend, right?"
"Yes, there are two right now. If you don't mind, it's not impossible to have three."
The Arkham Knight turned and glared at her.
"Don't look at me like that. I want to break up with Shockwave, but he's not willing. However, Iceman likes me a lot. So I talked to both of them about it, and they both agreed."
The Arkham Knight pointed to the door with his eyes closed.
“Fine, if you don’t want to, then forget it,” Polaris shrugged and left the ward, running into Eric.
"How are you?" Eric asked.
"Not bad, thanks to Franklin Jr. for his help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to create the body so quickly."
As they walked out, they ran into Batman Arkham, who was there to see Arkham Knight. Polaris was about to whistle when she met Eric's death stare. She could only purse her lips and go downstairs.
