Chapter 3812

~11 min read 2,069 words

Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman were both blown up quite badly. Bruce, who had just flown over not long ago, and the Injustice Batman he brought were also injured; of course, the most miserable one was Owlman. Mephisto's power exploded directly inside his body; to put it in more grounded terms, he was now broken in meridians and still couldn't wake up from a coma.

Schiller began to treat their wounds. Main Universe Batman's arm injury was still quite severe; he probably wouldn't be able to pick up a pen to write or do strenuous exercise for the next few days. Arkham Batman's ribs were broken, and he estimated he would have to lie down for two days.

Injustice Batman was injured the least because he walked slowly, but he was blown away and landed on the ground, also suffering quite a few abrasions and bruises. And Bruce, because he flew with wings, his wings were the most severely injured; the feathers on the two wings on the right side were almost gone, and he was also burned, howling in the school infirmary so that the entire main castle could hear him.

What Schiller was most impatient with was applying medicine to Bruce. If he touched his wings, he would be like that moth, flapping six times in one second, making feathers fly all over the ward.

Since waking up, Main Universe Batman's eyes had been fixed on Owlman. Although he didn't kill, Schiller saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes that Owlman would sleep forever.

"Clearly some things exceeded his expectations." Schiller thought, "Probably the power of the explosion."

Not mentioning the injuries Main Universe Batman suffered, just looking at Arkham Batman being able to have his ribs broken by the explosion, one knew how astonishing the power of that explosion was. Even if Owlman couldn't explode at will, his obtaining this kind of power also made Main Universe Batman feel worried.

After staring at Owlman, he stared at Schiller again, probably guessing why Schiller really let Owlman master such powerful strength. But since Main Universe Batman didn't open his mouth to ask, Schiller wouldn't take the initiative to tell him.

This time they were truly injured quite badly; even Injustice Batman lay in the school infirmary for three days, and the others lay for a full week.

I don't know if it was because Owlman obtained extraordinary power, but his healing speed was actually faster than the others, recovering to be jumping around after almost just a week, and even being discharged earlier than Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman.

After he left, the atmosphere in the ward became even more oppressive. Main Universe Batman was clearly dissatisfied with this result and had been thinking of countermeasures.

Actually, before pulling Schiller in, everything was still going according to his script. He used various plans to put great pressure on Owlman, pushing him to the verge of a breakdown, and he would soon cause a big mess because of forced errors.

But after involving Schiller, although Owlman was indeed held back, it also made Owlman obtain such powerful strength, as if the outcome was reversed overnight. This wasn't what Main Universe Batman wanted.

He shouldn't have counted on Schiller. To be precise, he shouldn't have counted on this dangerous and crazy doctor. He acted without any rules, but was full of motivation. Main Universe Batman had been guessing what Schiller was doing by giving Owlman such powerful strength.

It couldn't be that he was moved by Owlman's persistent evil and suddenly rebelled to help him, right?

Thinking carefully, it wasn't impossible. Schiller's logic of action couldn't be inferred by ordinary people anyway. He could help Main Universe Batman or Owlman, or even help both sides; no one could guess what he wanted to do.

Now wasn't the time to consider motives either. Main Universe Batman knew he had to think of a way as soon as possible, otherwise, Owlman, who had obtained power, would definitely make them look good. Owlman had no way out, and neither did he.

Schiller, sitting on the side, could clearly see that Main Universe Batman's brain was smoking a bit, but he didn't say anything, wrote them a confirmed recovery diagnosis, and let them leave the school infirmary.

Not long after Main Universe Batman left the school infirmary, just walking to the corridor bridge on the east side, he saw Owlman.

Owlman didn't say anything, just reached out and pointed at Main Universe Batman. Main Universe Batman instantly felt like he was grabbed by something, and then felt himself being thrown violently to the side, falling directly from the high corridor bridge.

This connected to the second floor of the main castle, but the ground here was relatively low, almost the height of the third floor. And the third floor of the castle was different from residential buildings; the height was much higher than ordinary buildings. If he fell like this, Main Universe Batman wouldn't die but would be crippled.

Fortunately, although Main Universe Batman didn't fly well, he could at least fly. He took out his wand to cast magic on himself, stopping steadily in mid-air. But just as he wanted to fly down so steadily, Owlman cast a magic spell over. Main Universe Batman hurriedly dodged, but the other party was relentless, seemingly determined to knock him down from mid-air.

Main Universe Batman's heart began to sink a bit. He could only use the magic power in his wand now, but because he had been testing magic power compression technology these past few days, there wasn't much magic power left in the wand. And the energy the other party possessed was almost endless; if this dragged on, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Thinking of this, Main Universe Batman decisively didn't dodge, took a hit from Owlman, used the last remaining power in his wand to fly downward, gave up control when there were still a few meters left from the ground, and fell heavily to the ground.

At the moment of falling to the ground, his internal organs vibrated, and his arm seemed to have some bone cracks. But Main Universe Batman still climbed up at the fastest speed.

"You can't kill me in school." Main Universe Batman said.

"I didn't intend to kill you, I just intended to teach you a lesson." Owlman landed slowly and said with a smile, "The situation is reversed, Bruce."

"Don't call me that." Main Universe Batman's tone didn't have much anger. He didn't want Owlman to call him that, purely because he didn't want to have the same name as that bastard.

Although the vast majority of Batmen were called Bruce, only Bruce really felt he was Bruce, and other Batmen felt they were Batman.

Owlman seemed to have misunderstood the meaning. His face sank, and it was another energy, knocking Main Universe Batman away.

"I can't kill you here, but I can make you lie in the school infirmary forever. Don't even think about taking anything away from this universe."

Main Universe Batman climbed up again, this time truly a bit embarrassed. He hit the fountain in the courtyard, and his ribs seemed to be broken.

Fortunately, the bell rang for the end of class at this time. Students went to class one after another, and the professor was also walking this way. Owlman didn't dare to do anything more, just looked at Main Universe Batman with contemptuous eyes, and then left.

Main Universe Batman stood in place, looking at his back, pondering how to deal with him.

Main Universe Batman went to the school infirmary again, but he clearly stated he wouldn't be hospitalized. Schiller didn't make things difficult for him, prescribed him some medicine, and let him go. Then Main Universe Batman went to the library.

He stayed there for an afternoon, seemingly wanting to find a way to crack Owlman's power. Main Universe Batman's reading efficiency was very high, and he finished reading all the books he needed to see not long after, but there was still no progress.

Then Main Universe Batman went back to the dormitory to brush short videos, to be precise, to watch the detailed analysis of "Ilvermorny". This time it wasn't just to understand the plot, but to watch it shot by shot.

In many analyses, the name Mephisto was mentioned. Although the plot of the first part hadn't fully unfolded, most film critics believed that the powerful dark mage Saphir had the Lord of Hell, Mephisto, standing behind him.

It is known that Schiller played Saphir, so the demon he summoned that day to fight Lucifer was very likely Mephisto. In other words, who they had to deal with now wasn't Owlman, but Mephisto, who gave Owlman power.

But this information, apart from suddenly increasing the difficulty, didn't have any effect. Because ordinary people couldn't possibly know how to deal with Mephisto, and those guesses on the internet were even more messy, without a single useful sentence.

Main Universe Batman had no choice but to find various professors, wanting to understand information about Mephisto. But very unfortunately, whether it was a professor or a great mage, they happened not to have any believers of Mephisto, and no one had had in-depth communication with this old devil.

However, even the information revealed from the side was enough to make people despair. Mephisto was one of the few strong people in the entire universe, and even if you could beat him, you couldn't eliminate him, because behind him was an entire Hell dimension.

The existence of these dimensions mostly concerned cosmic rules. Unless you could reach the level of a cosmic administrator, it was impossible to eliminate them, and even sealing them was impossible. You block one door, and he can still enter from another door.

Main Universe Batman began to think again: how could the Sorcerer Supreme let such a powerful and dangerous existence enter the school?

It was already said before that Owlman couldn't contract demon gods outside the school, otherwise it would be completely chaotic, which meant Mephisto was now in the school. Was the Sorcerer Supreme crazy? Letting such a dangerous devil run around in front of students?

The key question is, who on earth is this guy?

Main Universe Batman thought and thought but had no answer, so he started brushing short videos again. Until, when he saw Schiller's figure in a video taken by a fan of Schiller, when Schiller appeared around Arkham Asylum during the time the movie was just released, Main Universe Batman suddenly realized.

In this video, the person active around Arkham Asylum was definitely not Schiller. Although there was only a distant back view, Main Universe Batman was very sure that it definitely wasn't Schiller.

And a movie he saw next corroborated his guess, and that was the mockumentary "Terror".

The Dean Rodriguez who appeared in this movie wasn't Schiller; the one called Sothip was Schiller.

This movie was very long and had enough material for Main Universe Batman to reach an accurate judgment. He was very sure that Dean Rodriguez in this movie and the person who appeared in the school infirmary that day who was exactly the same as Schiller were one person—he was Mephisto.

"No wonder he dared to play Schiller; it turns out this guy was a devil to begin with." Main Universe Batman thought, "But even if he is in the school now, what can I do to him?"

Mephisto appearing here was clearly with the tacit approval of the Sorcerer Supreme, and perhaps even the tacit approval of all professors and mages. This meant he couldn't borrow strength to fight strength at all.

Then another way was to cooperate with him and let him give up on Owlman. But Batman wasn't willing to be in the same boat as the devil, let alone, this guy clearly didn't intend to cooperate sincerely. What he wanted was just a contract object he could manipulate, and Main Universe Batman wouldn't step into this pit.

Then how on earth could he defeat this cunning and powerful devil? Main Universe Batman fell into deep thought.

Just as he came out of the school infirmary again, walked onto the corridor bridge, and prepared to return to the dormitory, he suddenly heard a violent explosion coming from the square below.

"BOOM!!!!!!"
