Chapter 2199: Barbatos Has Bad Luck (Part 2)

Objectively speaking, the Batman Who Laughs cannot be considered a complete "answer to the question." When he first appeared, whether it was the character design or the ability, it was relatively eye-catching.

This is a dramatized processing method, because the Metal Event that just opened needs a point to grab the eye, and the Batman who killed the Joker would be a very good gimmick.

To be honest, from the perspective of comic drawing, the image design of the Batman Who Laughs is quite excellent. They didn't simply draw a big mouth on Batman wearing a bat suit, but redesigned his costume.

Compared with Batman's costume, the costume of the Batman Who Laughs is more exposed. This is a symbol of the transformation from a traditional classic knight image to a modern comic character, which should have been liked by many readers who believe in neoliberalism.

Because the rigid and conservative Batman finally broke his bottom line and killed that annoying criminal. It is a typical "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." He finally became the avenger of suffering that some readers expected, not the hero who endures suffering.

But in the end, even this part of people abandoned this new character. The biggest reason is that he is a combination of Batman and the Joker, but there are no factors of Batman and the Joker in his body.

The screenwriter designed such an image and gave him a setting. This setting might have been extremely grand and full of philosophical thoughts, but they played it off, causing this to become a thorough scam.

Some people expected the Batman Who Laughs to appear because they wanted to see the collision between the Batman who killed the Joker and the Joker who was killed by Batman. That must be a discussion full of artistry and philosophy. DC readers love to watch this; they just love this.

There were also new readers who were tired of the preaching back and forth. They expected Batman and the Joker to join forces to kill, which must be very enjoyable and hearty, and might even become a milestone event in DC comic style.

But the screenwriter magically didn't do either, choosing "OR" in "YES OR NO."

This metaphor is simply too appropriate. Besides being beyond common sense and unreasonable, it also makes no sense at all.

They wove another ordinary story, not much different from most previous big events, and then stuffed this cool and awesome character in. All the abilities he showed were spoilers before the story started and hindsight after the story was completed.

The key is that neither the previous spoilers nor the subsequent hindsight were exciting at all. It was equivalent to repeating the ordinary story the screenwriter made up over and over again.

It was as if they were grabbing the reader's ears and saying, "Look at the plot I carefully designed, look at the unique reversal I made."

Readers can accept "ordinary"—an average story structure, an art style that doesn't make big mistakes, and even a slightly old-fashioned character design, but you can't repeat the first page of an ordinary comic 60 times and treat it as a new comic.

This is pure fraud, especially after announcing such a cool and highly anticipated character design. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Schiller's objective evaluation of the Batman Who Laughs is not very objective. He can only mix a little bit of psychology into most of the personal grievances, but even so, it doesn't mean he wants to confront the Batman Who Laughs.

Although slapping the Batman Who Laughs in the face is very tempting, Schiller still decided to adopt his consistent style: solve the trouble before everything happens.

Barbatos has a new plan, and Schiller has one too.

In organizing the linkage, Schiller charges on both sides. Besides Marvel needing to provide him with a new origin, DC naturally has to provide one too, but the two are slightly different.

On the DC side, let alone the setting of the black sun, the identity of Neog Soship as an honorary researcher at All Souls College, Oxford University is real, and even the occult attributes of All Souls College were added later to establish Schiller's background story.

And although Schiller is essentially unique, he has the same identity in every universe. That is to say, he can be active as Neog Soship in any universe.

This gives Schiller the opportunity to contact Constantines in other universes.

Because obviously, Schiller is an authority on theoretical occultism, and Constantine is a master of practice. Any sudden magical event might cause them to encounter each other, and Constantine wouldn't have any suspicion.

This opened a gap in the black box for Schiller, and Constantine's investment channel was opened.

Bruce was naturally instructed by Schiller—although Bruce didn't know why Schiller had such great malice towards something, but anyway, he was idle, so applying for a PhD in academics wouldn't work, but trying from the social aspect was fine.

There are a few unexpected little ones in this plan, and that is the Robins from Schiller's universe.

It can only be said that the sky and ground of the main universe Cat Getan are inseparable from them. They seem to study hard and read with one heart, but if they hadn't been stirring up trouble in the middle, Cat Getan wouldn't have become a sky island so quickly.

Keeping the Batman of the main universe busy, Bruce was invited to Sky Island Cat Getan and Earth-1 Cat Getan to solve the trouble.

Schiller and Nyar pulled Yuggoth to squat on Barbatos's head. The other two were entirely to cover the Gray Fog, letting Barbatos form a stereotypical impression of their god system, such as being visible but untouchable, chaotic and crazy, and having no worldly desires, not even like intelligent life.

Regardless of the other two, the Gray Fog is too intelligent, and for worldly desires, he perfectly inherited greed. Throwing him in a place filled with dark energy is like a mouse entering a rice jar; just move it.

If the Gray Fog really opened his mouth to eat wildly, he would definitely be discovered by Barbatos soon, and he wasn't here to eat this time, so he chose to absorb a very small part of the dark energy bit by bit.

These dark energies enter the dream world along Schiller's soul. They have greater authority there and can transport this energy to any place without anyone knowing.

Lucifer's evaluation of the Dream King is not wrong at all. The dream world is extremely special, and there is even a channel here leading to Heaven.

It is not difficult to transport dark energy along it. The difficulty is how not to let the guarding Archangel discover it. And very coincidentally, Bruce happens to be an Archangel. He replaced Gabriel's position, and naturally, he has a share in guarding the Garden of Eden in shifts.

Bruce slept by the Eden Lake, which is equivalent to filling the last kilometer of the channel from the dream world to Heaven. Then, when Uriel was on duty, he sent a large pile of energy in at once.

Uriel is an Archangel and also one of the program administrators. He knows very well what the nature of Barbatos's dark energy is—no matter how they came, they must have come from Barbatos.

Besides the dark dragon who wants to pollute the bright universe, who else would be full and have nothing to do but pour dark energy into Heaven?

In Uriel's view, Barbatos is also crazy. It's one thing to secretly throw garbage on the neighbor's balcony because of the neighbor's grudge and his own survival needs, but isn't it a bit too much to come to the lobby of the property management to shit?

Facing the furious Uriel, Michael didn't have a good time either. He couldn't persuade him too much, because he understood the difficulty of catching discipline better than anyone else. When Lucifer wasn't back, he was the one doing this.

Uriel is actually the most conscientious and dutiful one among them. Michael couldn't chill the heart of his brother for an outsider—mainly because Lucifer was watching from the side, almost writing the words "fight" on his face. Michael couldn't let him get his wish.

So after blocking Uriel back, Michael also gave both sides a beating, and carried out some emergency treatment on Barbatos.

The specific measures taken were to temporarily close the Source of Darkness, let the dark energy no longer flow out, and then clean up the dark energy that was relatively rich in the corners of the universe, and then lower the energy intensity of the dark universe, letting the two sides rebalance.

For Archangels, these are just small system patches that can be completed by moving their fingers, but for Barbatos, this is an astonishing bad news. This patch directly cut him into a dog.

One of the most important ones is to close the Source of Darkness, no one can enter, and limit the bandwidth of dark energy output. No matter which universe it goes to, it is a rated flow. For Barbatos, he can basically sigh: "Tianyi 3G is really fast."

And the speed of energy movement in the dark universe slowed down, which means that not only was their strength weakened, but the process of strength re-growth, that is, entropy increase, was also slowed down. The time required to return to peak strength is tens of thousands of times longer than before.

Finally, no matter what, Uriel is also an Archangel. His full blow in a rage at least didn't split Barbatos's wings. He said he hit it randomly, but he wasn't hitting it randomly. He was obviously prepared. Do you understand the gold content of the vanguard of the Fallen War?

Barbatos suffered a very serious injury—this was his own estimate, because he had been hiding in the Source of Darkness for too long, he hadn't been injured for a long time, which made him misestimate his life bar, feeling that he was about to die, which made him feel great panic.

He began to gradually gather his dark power and wrap himself more tightly. He could only do this.

In Heaven, Archangels naturally couldn't not investigate where this dark energy came from. Michael had a premonition long ago, so he didn't make a big fuss, but went to check the timeline himself.

From the perspective of a system administrator, everything is clear. What Schiller and Bruce did can be seen from beginning to end in detail.

Michael called Bruce back directly, or to be precise, used his authority to teleport him back directly. He usually wouldn't abuse his authority like this, which shows he was very angry.

This time Lucifer couldn't stop him either. Bruce was indeed too much.

But he soon changed his mind and decided to help Bruce say a few good words as much as possible.

Because the fish in the Eden Lake usually have a long life and are very tenacious, and that fish that had slapped him when he was a child finally died because of this water pollution incident. ===== CHAPTER 2200 =====
