Chapter 2416

~10 min read 1,966 words

The place where the Bat-Rex fell was the entrance from the manor to the garden. Some low shrubs and piled-up road edges were smashed, but everything else was fine, so lunch could proceed as usual.

However, Batman spoke up, "I have to go check on the Bat-Rex to make sure he's okay."

Because he knew that a very terrifying segment was about to begin. After Martha and Thomas finished introducing their situation—actually, there was nothing to introduce, no one here didn't know who they were—it was time to enter the self-introduction segment of the other Batmen.

Thomas and Martha were different from the Robins because they had also served as Batman and Joker, so they knew that the pile of strange-looking things sitting in front of them now were not large figurines at all, but real Batmen.

But anyone could see how this group of Batmen had become what they were now. There would be a very long story to tell, and now the sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and they just happened to have time.

However, one knows one's own affairs. This group of Batmen had mutated, not become stupid. They knew how heavy their stories were, so after the Batman of the main universe stood up, the others echoed one after another, "Uh, I'll go check too. I hope he's okay."

"I think I can go give him a check-up. I think he might have a concussion from the severe impact."

"No, I suspect he might have a neurological faint. I think it's really necessary to check it out properly. I just happen to be able to operate those instruments. I'll go with you."

"He is a mechanical T-Rex. We must check his motherboard first, and then see if there are any problems with the energy aspect. Obviously, only I can do this. I'd better..."

Accompanied by the death stares of Thomas and Martha, the hands that the Batmen had already stretched out and the legs they had already kicked up slowly returned to their original positions. They sat in place, not daring to move, only their eyeballs darting left and right.

"Bryce, you go first." Martha held her daughter's hand, firmly believing that her daughter would definitely not do anything out of line.

Batwoman went through her life's experiences in her mind more than 600 times and found that she hadn't actually caused any major trouble. Most of it was just subjective thoughts that hadn't been put into action, especially compared to the heavyweights present. Then she was purely a victim.

Batwoman sighed deeply and began her own narration, "Silvius is dead. He was killed by criminals, so I wiped out all the criminals in the city, and immediately after..."

This was not a very thrilling story, and Batman had never been good at telling stories very brilliantly, but their straightforward tone instead made people not feel that they were deliberately hiding certain subjective thoughts, but just seriously and rigorously stating the facts.

"Listen, Bryce, I can fully understand your painful mood and full anger after losing your lover, because I was the same at that time, but you went to hunt down criminals—of course, whether the criminals are dead or alive is not important—but this is very dangerous for you, because you were not clear-headed at that time..."

"Thomas!!!!!!" Martha was almost screaming. She hugged Batwoman and said, "Our daughter's most beloved person was killed by criminals, and you are planning to blame her for taking revenge!!"

"I'm not blaming her, I just want to say that she is so impulsive, it's really too dangerous. What if a criminal sets a trap for her..."

Martha hugged Batwoman and stroked her hair, already in a posture of not listening, not listening, the turtle is chanting scriptures. She kissed her daughter's forehead and said, "Be good, Bryce, don't listen to his nonsense. I simply can't imagine how you faced all this alone. You were even able to survive in such a desperate and sad situation. God bless..."

Actually, the first thing Batwoman wanted to refute was that her name wasn't Bryce, but did she dare to move? She didn't dare to move.

"What about you?" Thomas looked at Little Bruce, clearly able to see his abnormality, because Little Bruce's skin was too pale, and he was the only one among all the Batmen with black pupils.

Or rather, his originally blue eyes had been filled with some strange and eerie patterns. From a distance, they looked intertwined with black and blue, and in most cases, they were black.

"I suffered from evil god contamination." Little Bruce's opening made all the Batmen glare at him. Is that what you call suffering from evil god contamination? You were cheering and throwing yourself into the arms of the evil god, becoming a part of the evil god, and almost being chased to your hometown by an insurance investigator.

Martha immediately widened her eyes. She let go of Batwoman and beckoned to Little Bruce. Little Bruce paused and then walked over, sitting beside Martha.

"I conducted some investigations and found that it seems something happened when my mother was pregnant. The contamination started from that time, but I haven't found too much yet because an insurance investigator is constantly tracking my traces."

"Why is he looking for you?"

"He might want to eliminate me because I purified Gotham's contamination through the power of the evil god, which led to some deaths, and the insurance company doesn't want to pay compensation for deaths caused by this reason, so this insurance investigator hopes to find evidence of my true existence."

"Then did he find it?" Martha asked nervously.

"Some of it." Little Bruce shook his head and said, "He knows I exist, but he doesn't know how I exist, and he doesn't know that it is actually me who possesses this power."

Before Thomas could speak, Martha hugged Little Bruce again and said, "You can't tell him. This group of insurance investigators will do anything to keep their jobs. Insurance companies will also use many dirty means to avoid paying huge compensation. You must protect yourself."

Thomas really wanted to say, look at the two tentacles behind him, who is protecting whom?

"So what is your state now?" Thomas asked.

"I just cleared some of the power bestowed upon me by the evil god. Now I plan to look at all this from a more objective perspective." Little Bruce perfectly skipped the topic of tentacles and then said, "The most important thing is to investigate what is going on."

"That's right." Martha stroked Little Bruce's head and said, "You really surprise me, Little Bruce. You were able to fight the evil god alone and wake up, and you still have the energy to investigate the truth. But you must promise Mom, you must protect yourself..."

Little Bruce certainly wouldn't say that he now wished he could fly back to his own universe, beat that damn insurance investigator to death, and then blow him and the damn company behind him away. He just nodded obediently.

Next was the War God Batman, because he sat closer to Martha, and the other Batmen of similar age and special features were introduced according to distance.

The War God Batman thought that he was also a victim, and their universe was miserable enough, so there was nothing to avoid. He simply told all their experiences.

But at this time, Martha widened her eyes and said, "You mean in that universe you and Diana were together? Then where is she? You didn't just leave her there, did you???"

"Uh, at that time I hoped to investigate the truth..."

"My God!! Bruce!!! She fought alongside you for so many years, sacrificed herself to save you at the last moment, and used all her divine power to help you clear the contamination of the helmet. And after all this ended, the only thing you did was to leave her alone in place!!!!"

Now everyone had to look at the War God Batman, and Batman's gaze would also put pressure on Batman, especially when he was completely in the wrong.

"You must pick her up immediately." Thomas said, "Your universe has been at war. She has no divine power now, which is already very dangerous. And she just went through a big battle before, so she must really need recuperation. Most importantly, you two have been dating for so many years and still aren't married. This is completely irresponsible!"

"That, actually, this is not considered long for Diana..."

"Oh, yes, Diana is a long-lived species." Martha stood up, pressed her forehead with the heel of her palm, and looked at Thomas, saying, "For her, it's actually just a small romance."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, you hurry up and arrange for someone to pick her up." Thomas couldn't sit still at all. He stood up and also picked up the War God Batman, saying, "If you only know how to call and say 'drink more hot water' when the other party is injured in both body and mind—and injured for you—instead of rushing to the downstairs of her house at the fastest speed, you will be single for a lifetime! Diana is a good girl, you have to grasp it. Where is she now?"

"On Mount Olympus, with her brother."

"My God." Martha also stood up and said, "Then you don't know how many of the same race are waiting to chase her, and you are sitting here drinking tea and admiring flowers without any sense of crisis! Go pick her up!!!"

After the War God Batman was pushed away, Thomas and Martha returned very quickly, and the next one was the Lightning Batman.

The Lightning Batman told the story of the experiment that gave him the result, and how he studied time wanting to return to the past, and finally killed Barry and became one with him.

"Why did you want to return to the past so much?" Thomas asked, "Of course everyone understands, he doesn't want to hear an answer like 'I just want to resurrect my parents.' Everyone present knows that if it were just this, Batman would not be so paranoid."

After all, he is not the only Batman with the ability to study time, and he is the only one who really did it.

"The movie that night..." Lightning Batman said, "The movie I wanted to see wasn't showing. I thought we could come back another day, but you two thought maybe watching this one would be good."

"I felt dissatisfied, but I still stayed. But the movie was too boring. When I saw half of it, I made a fuss about leaving and ran directly out of the theater, coming to that alley."

"You also came out to chase me and happened to run into the killer lurking on the side, waiting for an opportunity."

After listening, Thomas and Martha didn't express their opinions immediately. They looked at each other, obviously recalling what happened that night, but this recall had no results because the story that happened in the universe they were in was not quite the same.

But even so, they could infer the reason for the actions of their other-universe selves at that time through themselves.

"I'm afraid we knew there was a killer." Martha said, "We knew we couldn't leave after entering the theater because someone was clearing threats for us outside. We had to wait until they finished before we could go out."

"But we didn't expect that the movie that day just happened not to be showing, and Little Bruce ran out. It was precisely because we knew there was a killer that we chased out."

Thomas pressed Martha's hand and said, "Fortunately..."

"Yes, fortunately we chased out."
