"I think you're right." Before Main Universe Batman left, Ben-Bat looked at him and said: "If we don't unite, our universe will definitely have no power to fight back in the face of a multiverse disaster. Humanity can defeat one strong enemy after another and stand at the top of the food chain because of group collaboration. If you have any plans, remember to count me in."

Main Universe Batman nodded. Before this, Ben-Bat had always been a neutral Batman. Although he didn't like Owlman, he also didn't like dealing with other Batmen, always acting alone, and even somewhat repulsed by forming cliques.

But after this incident, he was prepared to completely lean toward Main Universe Batman. If the Batmen in the multiverse must unite and choose a leader, Main Universe Batman was the only choice.

Before this incident, perhaps Owlman still had the strength to fight. But looking at the entire Ultron invasion event, Main Universe Batman's performance was impeccable. He reacted quickly, commanded properly, and made decisive decisions; not only did he become the first existence in the multiverse to build a complete magic defense network, but he also had the spare energy to support other universes and help everyone who needed help. Regardless of ability or moral level, he was worthy of the title of Main Universe Batman.

And looking at Owlman, there hadn't been a sound from him from the beginning. Those evil Batmen who joined his camp were out of luck; not only did they not get any help from beginning to end, but they didn't even exchange much information, and now they had become the breakthrough point of the multiverse.

Therefore, Ben-Bat had no other choice but to join the Multiverse Alliance so that the universe he was in could more effectively resist disasters. Every Batman, when making such decisions, would not let personal preferences interfere with the overall situation. Even if they liked acting alone, they had to make rational decisions and make the most favorable choices.

Main Universe Batman had just returned to the universe he was in when Bay-Bat also came looking for him, followed by a Batman wearing a blue cape, who was also the Batman from the animated series. Both of them looked quite lively, and seemed to have built a deep friendship in the previous period.

"Old buddy, we're prepared to join you," the animated Blue Bat spoke up, "This matter really gave us a hard time; if we don't find a few good partners, my universe will be dismantled by them. You're willing to let us join, right?"

Main Universe Batman patted his arm and said: "It's never too late. Unity is not achieved overnight; the joining of every individual creates the strength of the group. I have never refused friends who want to contribute to the group."

Bay-Bat sighed and said: "If only we had figured this out sooner. To tell you the truth, before this, I had never thought that there could be an enemy powerful enough to invade so many universes simultaneously and cause so much trouble for everyone. But looking at the current situation, this is probably just an appetizer."

Main Universe Batman nodded, brought the two of them to sit down, and then said: "Ultron invaded from another world; after all, he wasn't a local existence, so it was inevitable that he would be unacclimated, and he had very significant weaknesses, so there was a universal solution to deal with him. But the enemies we encounter later won't be so easy to deal with; what awaits us will be one hard battle after another."

"What are your plans?" Bay-Bat leaned his body forward and asked.

"We have to find a way to train our troops. Ultron won't do; he's not comprehensive enough, and magic power suppresses him to death, so others' abilities can't be used at all. Moreover, the chaos on our side just ended not long ago, and we need time to rest and reorganize."

"You mean..."

"Let's go to the neighboring side and have a battle," Main Universe Batman crossed his hands together, "First, Ultron ran to our side and caused us losses, so it's only right for us to go find trouble for them; second, fighting on their side, although logistics support will be very difficult, we happen to want to assume the worst-case scenario, which is the situation where almost everyone's power cannot be replenished, they are at their wit's end, and the enemy is exceptionally comprehensive and powerful; can we really repel them?"

Bay-Bat opened his mouth and said: "I think training troops is necessary, but isn't the opponent you picked too strong? Do you really think we can fight the superheroes plus mutants of the neighboring world?"

Main Universe Batman shook his head and said: "If we launch a full-scale war, then the Justice League on our side isn't the only one, and it's not that there's no way to respond at all. However, this time we won't make such a big commotion, just conduct limited training. They won't want to fight us to the death either, so they will also have a sense of proportion."

"Sounds like you had plans long ago," Blue Bat said, "What about the venue? Which universe would allow such a large group of us to rush over and fight? In the end, wouldn't it still be a situation of fighting to the death?"

"If it were the universe of the culprit, they would definitely resist to the death. But if we arrange the fight in another universe, both sides can retreat if they can't win, so it won't be so extreme."

"Which third-party universe would be willing?"

"There's never a shortage of lunatics in the multiverse," Main Universe Batman said pointedly, "Especially greedy lunatics."

Accompanying the Batmen leaving the Main Universe one after another, they all returned to their own universes and began to fully engage in the construction of the magic defense network. And for some Batmen with relatively poor abilities or bad universe conditions, Main Universe Batman would also lend them an interest-free loan so they could take it back to build a most basic version of the magic defense network.

Although they were all building magic defense networks, there were differences in strength. The vast majority of universes didn't build a complete version; that required simply too much energy. Most of them just set up a framework; simply put, it was setting up a few pillars to support a shield, which could prevent the invasion of external energy; as for monitoring functions, there were basically none, and even the switches were manual, so they could only be used to prevent Ultron for the time being.

It wasn't that the Batmen didn't want to take a step to the highest level, but this thing, in addition to needing energy, also needed pillars to be built. Most Batmen were neither born as early as the Sorcerer Supreme, nor did they have the power of a president, so the pillars were hidden left and right, and they could only build some temporary sanctuaries. To summarize, the conditions were difficult, so they just made do.

Compared to this, the magic defense network of the Main Universe could be called luxurious. Not only was there personal guidance from the Sorcerer Supreme, but after a universe war, the captured energy was also countless, and all the plugins and functions that could be installed were installed, basically second only to the genuine version of Marvel, and even better than the magic defense networks of some Marvel single universes.

Therefore, although basically every Earth had such a thing, the Main Universe was still a well-deserved safe house. In a situation where Battleworld might not be that safe either, Batmen were more willing to come to the Main Universe to discuss matters.

And after the magic defense network was built, more than half of the neutral Batmen began to waver, and quite a few people directly surrendered like Ben-Bat, while some indicated that although they wouldn't join comprehensively, as long as there were emergency events, they would also listen to arrangements.

The remaining ones actually didn't matter anymore. If they couldn't see the situation clearly in this situation, either their brains weren't very good, or their minds weren't very clear; even if they joined, they would only add to the chaos when making decisions. Instead of winning them over, it was better to directly add them to the list of poor households and go over to save them when something happened.

Just like this, Main Universe Batman's camp was greatly expanded, basically unifying the multiverse. And because of the establishment of the magic defense network, most Ultrons couldn't make any waves. The event began to gradually enter the next stage, which was to make full preparations for the more serious multiverse invasion events that might come in the future.

On this day, the Batmen gathered together again in the Hall of Justice of the Main Universe, and Main Universe Batman stood in the very center, scanned the circle, and looked at them, saying:

"I think everyone has already heard about my training plan. Launching a war and taking violent means is not my original intention, and invading other universes is also evil, but if it is a sparring session conducted with the tacit understanding of both sides without harming the innocent, it is conducive to avoiding greater losses later. I believe everyone recognizes this point."

The Batmen below talked in low voices, basically all nodding, considering it an acknowledgment of Main Universe Batman's statement. After the Ultron incident, they also understood that in the face of multiverse invasion, avoidance was never a solution, and burying one's head in the sand would also be dug out and chopped off; it would be better to flap one's wings more, not asking to fly, but at least being able to give the invader a slap when they arrived.

"Since we have reached such a consensus, we have to discuss the details. First of all, although this is a training session, we also have sufficient reasons to help the culprit who caused this series of events in the neighboring universe recognize the importance of experimental safety. In general, don't hold back too much; it's best if we can beat them up."

"Of course," a Batman said with his arms crossed, "Ultron scared Barbara in my universe quite a bit; of course I want to give them some color to see. As long as no lives are lost, I will definitely beat that group of crazy scientists to death."

Other Batmen also echoed one after another; to say there was no fire in their hearts was impossible. If this thing had been created by one of them, it would be one thing, but it happened to run over from next door, and they were completely innocent victims. If they didn't give the other party some color to see, one ran over today, and another ran over tomorrow, would this life still be livable?

"Battleworld must also be held responsible," Arkham Batman said, "If it weren't for their lax control, this thing wouldn't have come to our universe. We can take this opportunity to set conditions and let that group of administrators help us cover the bottom."

"I think so too," Main Universe Batman said, "I will apply for us to go over in the form of a Battleworld mission, so that we can be resurrected in Battleworld after death, one life per person, and withdraw after the fight, so that we won't expand the war."

The Batmen obviously approved of this mode more. Because if they really died, they might not dare to make a move, and wouldn't be able to exert their full strength, then lacking the experience of fighting for their lives when the real invasion event arrived, the exercise would have no meaning.

And if they could be resurrected infinitely, the war would definitely become more and more intense, and in the end, it would be very difficult to stop once it started. The restriction of one life could very well prevent the situation from expanding.

"The neighboring world might also do this," Main Universe Batman said, "They also have administrators on their side, so we shouldn't have to worry about universe parameters and ability usage."

"Let's study strategy," Blue Bat said, rubbing his hands, "You should have the information on the superheroes of the neighboring world, right? Even if it's just an exercise, we must be cautious. Let me see how to fight."

Main Universe Batman didn't decline either; he sent out all the information and then projected it onto the projector. The Batmen began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the superheroes one by one.
