Chapter 2372 Psychic Assault (Twenty-Seven)
The efficiency of the two Batmen is more than just 1+1=2. They quickly completed the search of most historical books and actually found some problems.
First of all, both Batmen paid attention to the historical fragments they saw before entering Dr. Sosip's room, and combined with some details described in the book, they were basically sure that they were some scenes from ancient times to the Roman Empire.
But the problem is that there are some things that should not appear in human history, such as the ravens with red eyes, and those spaceships and weapons.
This means that there are indeed other things hidden in history, or if we turn the human history book over, those things that were originally hailed as myths and legends may very well be true.
Of course, even through Wonder Woman’s own narration, Batman also knows that there are gods on Earth, but Wonder Woman is, after all, a descendant of gods, and her narration of the Olympian pantheon is more from the perspective of gods.
Through consulting history books, Batman realized that these gods had huge numbers of believers at certain times on Earth, and might even be certain countries they were familiar with.
From this perspective, it doesn't make sense that Barbatos only has the Court of Owls as his followers. It's impossible that this guy came to Earth after the founding of the United States. If he came earlier, the followers he left behind are more likely to be in Europe or Asia, which were the densely populated areas in ancient times.
Realizing that the Court of Owls might not be the only believers of Barbatos, Batman begins looking for ancient beliefs that tend to be dark. Similar concepts and descriptions exist in almost any pantheon. In human primitive religions, there is always a god who represents the mysterious night.
He did not find the target in this regard, but as Batman searched, he discovered that in a book that explained the origin of human totem worship, it mentioned that there was an ancient tribe that worshipped the bat god.
Almost every Batman is interested in bats. After the two discovered this tribe, they decided to put aside the matter of the Dark God and study what was going on with this tribe that worshipped bats.
As a result, they hit the jackpot and discovered the Hebrew spelling of Barbatos in an image of an inscription used as a totem display.
This is unlikely to be a coincidence, because first of all, the spelling of Hebrew is completely different from that of English. The structure of the word Barbatos in Hebrew is very strange. It is obvious that it is not a name that can be given by the Hebrew-speaking nation. It is more like a forced spelling using the letters of their own language to spell out this pronunciation.
Secondly, there is a pattern in the center of this totem, but it does not look like a big bat. It looks a bit like a dragon with bat wings. The name of this tribe is even more intriguing. They call themselves the Followers of Judah.
After discovering the clues, they began to look through more books, and then they found that the so-called Jewish believers' tribe had quite a great influence, and they were mentioned in almost all primitive totem worships.
Then the two gradually discovered that the so-called bats were just the people who compiled these books because they thought the totem looked like a bat and they thought they were ancient bat worshippers. But in fact, in the inscriptions left by the Jewish tribe, they never said that they worshiped bats. They called their god the Great God of Darkness.
This is completely consistent with the image of Barbatos.
The two Batmen found Constantine in a pub in Oxfordshire, who had started drinking again, but this time they managed to stop her before she got drunk, and held her head down, forcing her to find more records about the Tribe of Judah in the occult world.
The most useful one was a book Constantine found in the Forgotten Bookstore. It contained a record written by a chief of the Judah tribe at a certain period about his dream of seeing the God of Darkness.
This story goes that one night, the chief saw their god descending to the earth in his dream, and the great god of darkness told him that night would eventually turn into day, and bats were the passage.
The last sentence is actually much more complicated and cryptic than this, but after the two Batmen deciphered it, they discovered that this is what Barbatos meant.
Please note that the bats here are the bats in the passage, which are real bats, which are the pronunciation of bats in English. However, due to language barriers, the chief at that time did not understand the real meaning.
But this inspired the two Batmans, especially the Batman in the main universe. He thought that if darkness and light are two worlds, and Barbatos is the master of the dark world, then night will eventually fall into day, which means that Barbatos must want to invade the light world.
It is easy to understand that the bat is the channel. Among so many cities in this world, he threw the Court of Owls to Gotham and permeated Gotham with rich dark power. Could this be to lead to his own birth?
Because Gotham is a bad place with many criminals, a Batman is destined to be born. If it's not me, it will be someone else. And because of some special things about me, I may become the channel for Barbatos to come to the bright universe.
When Batman from the main universe told Batwoman about these things, Batwoman said that it was too abstract and difficult to understand, but Constantine gave a reasonable explanation.
"Mysticism is like this. A certain god may choose you not because you have any special abilities or are so outstanding, but simply because your name has some special meaning."
"Things that seem meaningless and have no impact to humans are not the case in the mystical world. Your date of birth, the state of the sun and moon at the time of your birth, the meaning of your name, and the good or evil of certain things you have done all have great significance in the eyes of these mysterious beings."
"So I am the chosen one." Batwoman frowned deeply and said, "But I can never open a channel for an evil god. How can he use me to come into this world?"
"Really?" Batman looked at her and asked.
Batwoman was slightly stunned. She turned her head and stared at Batman. She was about to refute, but when she saw his deep eyes, she realized something.
"This universe is an enlarged version of Gotham." Batman said: "It is infected by dark energy, criminals emerge in an endless stream, and tragedies occur one after another. Do you dare to say that you will never lose control?"
"What about you? Have you never lost control?"
"Maybe, but I can find myself in the end." Batman said: "It's not because my willpower is stronger than yours, but because the universe I live in is much better than here. Even if some mistakes occur, there is room for redemption."
Batwoman stopped talking and began to think. Suppose this group of strange visitors from another world didn't come, and she went to negotiate with the Queen of the Sea, and the two parted on bad terms. Would it eventually turn into a war between land and sea?
If a war really breaks out, can you really be sure that the land will not be destroyed, the ocean will not be cleansed, and that a good peaceful outcome will be achieved in the end?
Not entirely sure, Batwoman thought. Her preparations were far from enough to ensure that everything was under her control, so why did she want to start this war?
She suddenly felt a hollow in her chest, and her breathing became rapid. Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder. Batman looked at her and said, "Calm down. The thoughts in your mind may not be your own thoughts. They are the result of the influence of the dark power. He just wants you to think this way, to make you lose control, and then open a channel."
Batwoman took a deep breath and forced her heart to stop beating so violently, but a certain haze still lingered in her mind.
"Let's go back." Batman said, "I guess you should have a final plan for Atlantis. Take it and let's go talk to the Queen of the Sea. Now is not the time for internal fighting."
Batman felt a sense of urgency when he discovered that the culprit had been manipulating both of them in the shadows. They returned to Gotham without stopping, and Batwoman showed Batman her last resort.
"It's a huge machine that consists of an energy storage unit, a control center, a bunch of robotic arms and an operating table."
"When necessary, I will transform myself into the ultimate weapon." Batwoman said, "As long as I fill the energy storage with enough energy, I mean the energy that can control the direction of transformation, such as the energy of Atlantis, I can inject this energy into my body in another form, so that I can have the abilities they have, or even be stronger than him."
"That's terrible." Batman commented, "I think you now realize that you are more out of control than you thought. How did you think of transforming yourself into a weapon? Why do you think you won't lose control?"
Batwoman was speechless at this point, because she really had no way to guarantee that she would still be herself after becoming a weapon, and she was completely unaware of this when she was facing the machine.
This is unlike her, and in fact unlike any other Batman. Although Batman has backup plans for every factor around him that could get out of control, he actually has the most backup plans for when he himself gets out of control.
Batman has had many nightmares, but the worst one is not about Superman or Green Lantern losing control, but about himself losing control. In his opinion, he who has lost his mind is much more terrifying than any criminal.
Batman looked up at the power center and said, "What do you use to amplify the energy you put into it?"
"A meteorite, or more precisely, the metal inside the meteorite." Batwoman said, "This thing fell in Egypt and was originally placed in the Egyptian Museum, but it fell into my hands during a battle. I found that this thing has very magical properties, so I built this machine."
Batwoman pointed to a jar below the energy center that was flashing with a strange light and said, "That's it. All the energy that passes through this metal will be amplified, reorganized and compressed. It has more magical properties and is more powerful."
Batman shook his head, obviously still in awe of Batwoman's audacity, and said, "We can't carry this thing to see the Queen of the Sea. She may not understand what it is used for, and it won't be a deterrent enough."
"Where is your workshop? I think we can modify it to become an obvious weapon, and specifically target the Atlanteans, so that she can calm down and talk to us. Maybe it will come in handy later."
Batwoman sighed and said, "I can't be sure. I'm still awake now, so come on, the workshop is over there."
