Chapter 4042

About three minutes ago, the main universe Batman found Darkseid. He said, "I heard you can resurrect beings killed by Omega Beams?"

"... Where did you hear that?"

"Intelligence I collected from the multiverse."

Darkseid paused slightly, then said, "That is indeed correct."

"Where will they be resurrected?"

"What?"

"Where will people killed by Omega Beams be resurrected?"

"Apokolips domain, of course. Why?"

"I need you to use Omega Beams to kill someone now, and then resurrect him in the Apokolips domain."

"Who?"

"Thanos."

Darkseid narrowed his eyes slightly, while the main universe Batman focused on his expression. Seeing his complexion, the main universe Batman knew that he probably didn't take Thanos seriously at all.

It seems that Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet was no match for Darkseid at all. Even if not in the Apokolips domain, their strength wasn't on the same level. If Thanos were dragged into the Apokolips domain, he shouldn't be able to make any waves.

The main universe Batman silently noted this intelligence and said, "I believe you are also very interested in intelligence about the Central Universe. You bring Thanos over, and we can share the intelligence obtained from his mouth."

Darkseid hesitated. Of course, he also wanted intelligence, especially intelligence about the superheroes of the big world here. But this meant he might reveal more of his own intelligence to Batman.

However, even if he didn't reveal it, Batman could collect intelligence between the multiverses; the performance of his own counterparts couldn't escape his sharp eyes. Since intelligence would be leaked sooner or later, it was better to take this opportunity to make a deal with Batman.

"No problem. Tell me where he is."

Of course, there was also a Flash lurking in the Dark Quadrant, and the main universe Batman gave the intelligence and specific location to Darkseid.

Darkseid's eyes flashed with light, and the Omega Beams crossed space, shooting directly at Erik and Thanos, who were confronting each other in the Dark Quadrant, directly erasing both of them.

Afterwards, Darkseid initiated the resurrection procedure, and two figures appeared within the Apokolips domain.

Darkseid was stunned: "Why are there two?"

When he used Omega Beams to hit people, of course, he felt there were two people. But he knew how the resurrection mechanism of Battleworld worked; logically speaking, if Erik had been killed by him, he should have turned directly into a white light and returned to Battleworld, and it was impossible for him to be resurrected together with Thanos.

Thanos could be resurrected here because Thanos had never been to Battleworld and hadn't participated in this training exercise, so his death and resurrection should naturally follow the Omega rules.

But how did Erik come too???

Darkseid didn't have time to think too much; he hurriedly took action to suppress Erik. And Erik, who had landed, also had a moment of confusion; he thought the other side had activated some kind of teleportation and sent him to another place, and was cursing Thanos for being cunning in his heart, only to see Batman when he turned his head.

The two looked at each other, both shocked.

Erik subconsciously wanted to take action, but a big guy next to him reached out, and he was directly pressed to the ground.

"Uh..."

Apokolips is Darkseid's divine kingdom, and gods are invincible in their own divine kingdom; everything here is controlled by him, including magnetism and magnetic fields. It's equivalent to God being able to control everything in the real universe, and Darkseid is God in the Apokolips domain.

Magneto's control over magnetism and magnetic fields in the Apokolips domain could never be higher than Darkseid's. To be precise, Darkseid could even make the basic forces of the universe non-existent in the Apokolips domain, so Magneto naturally couldn't be his opponent.

Seeing Erik being pressed down, the main universe Batman breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed shocked just now, but no one could remain indifferent when facing a Magneto that spawned right in front of their face; this was truly too scary.

Then he immediately looked at Darkseid, his eyes filled with obvious suspicion and accusation. He even suspected whether Darkseid wanted to use Magneto to assassinate him and then disguise it as an Omega Beam experimental accident.

Darkseid was also confused: wasn't it said that Battleworld's priority was the highest? This guy was killed by his own Omega Beams, why didn't he resurrect in Battleworld, but resurrected in the Omega Beams?

Could it be that Batman colluded with Thanos to pit him?

But in fact, there was no conspiracy in this at all; it was just a pure bug. This kind of permission priority and program attribution issue is the easiest to run into errors.

When Darkseid enabled the resurrection system, OAA paused the entire universe and spent seven full days fixing it before barely solving this problem. And wanting to fix a program that had already gone wrong required rolling back, but more errors appeared after rolling back, so in the end, he just gave up.

After all, this wasn't just his problem alone. The Omega Beam program was written by God in the universe next door, but the layoffs next door hit the main artery, and God left and hasn't returned to this day; although successors like Lucifer had decent levels, there were also many source codes they couldn't understand, and God didn't write annotations, so they were completely ignorant about modifications to this primitive power, and could only rely on OAA to force changes here, which made him furious, and in the end, he just threw in the towel.

Thus, it appeared: Erik, who should have been resurrected in Battleworld, was directly resurrected into the Apokolips domain with Thanos using Omega Beams and was directly caught by Darkseid.

Darkseid used a bubble to lock Erik up. Erik tried to struggle, but in the Apokolips domain, he couldn't defeat Darkseid, so he could only stare coldly at the two people in front of him.

"Take off his helmet," the main universe Batman said. Their top priority now was to confirm which Magneto this was.

In just these few seconds, the main universe Batman had already thought it through: although catching a Magneto was unexpected, it could be considered a good thing for them; after all, this was a very significant prisoner of war, much stronger than the Guardians of the Galaxy or something.

Losing a Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn't affect the other side's fighting, and might even improve their combat effectiveness; but losing a Magneto would be a big problem. Not to mention individual strength, the Mutant Brotherhood wouldn't allow their leader to be taken away, and they would definitely insist on saving him.

However, the X-Men might not agree, because now was not the time to storm Apokolips; even if the mutants all agreed, the command center wouldn't. When the time came, the mutants would act on their own, and the relationship with the Avengers might become very tense, and internal conflicts would greatly consume their energy.

If they didn't save him, they could also use him to exchange for prisoners later. If the mutants thought about exchanging Magneto out, then their treatment of enemies might change from killing to capturing alive, and they might even demand the Avengers do the same. On the battlefield, a thought of soft-heartedness could be fatal.

Especially, the main universe Batman had also heard about the grudges between Professor X and Magneto, and the Professor X from the same universe as this Magneto would definitely find a way to save him. And Professor X's specialty was psychic ability; even if he didn't use abilities like forced brainwashing, he was a very strong lobbyist; as long as he could persuade a few people, it would be enough to interfere with the other side's combat deployment.

The main universe Batman's plan was well-calculated, but the moment he took off the helmet, he was stunned, because this Magneto's appearance was very young. A bad premonition gradually welled up in his heart.

It wasn't that there were no young Magnetos in the multiverse, it was just that young Erik Lehnsherr and a rejuvenated Magneto were still a bit different. As Batman, he could easily judge who was a real young person and who was an old person wearing a young person's skin; the Magneto in front of him was clearly the latter.

This unique temperament was rare; to be precise, there was only one in the entire multiverse, and that was Magneto from the Central Universe.

The main universe Batman's heart alarm bells rang loudly; nothing else, these lunatics from the Central Universe didn't play by the rules at all. Of all people to catch, why did they have to catch Magneto from the Central Universe?!

Just thinking of this, suddenly a golden light flashed, and Barry appeared behind the main universe Batman, saying in a somewhat trembling voice: "Flash..."

"What?"

"The Flash is dead."

The main universe Batman hurriedly opened the personnel statistics page, and then he froze on the spot. It wasn't the main universe Flash who died, but almost all the Flashes currently dispatched outside were dead, and they died at the same time.

"Professor X," Barry said, somewhat out of breath, "Professor X said, if you don't release the person, he will crush everyone's brains."

The main universe Batman's hand clenched suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed out of the main hall. Barry hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Don't go out, he's already crazy! As long as your brain waves are exposed in the universe, you will be brain-dead immediately!"

"How many Flashes returned? Where are they now?"

Barry's complexion was very pale, and he shook his head at the main universe Batman. But the main universe Batman still walked towards the base's hospital. At this time, the ward was overcrowded.

About five or six Flashes were lying on hospital beds; their other body data were still normal, but their brain waves were so weak they had almost disappeared, completely judging them as brain-dead.

There were also a few Supermen lying there; their brain wave activity was quite active, but a bit too active, clearly resisting something in the spiritual world, and they had no reaction to external calls.

The main universe Batman saw the figure of the main universe Superman among them.

He held onto the door frame and walked in. Just as he walked to the side of the main universe Superman, the other party suddenly opened those blue eyes and looked at him, but the main universe Batman realized that wasn't Superman. The main universe Batman heard him say in an unprecedentedly cold tone:

"Batman, you will pay the price for this!"

"Batman! Batman!" a Green Lantern rushed in and said, "The Green Lantern base outside has been attacked; three Green Lanterns sacrificed themselves on the spot, and the rest are still resisting with Green Lantern energy. What on earth is going on?!"

The main universe Batman of course hadn't forgotten that Hal and his group couldn't get in before, so they camped on a planet near Apokolips; now they were probably also attacked by Professor X of this universe.

Because Professor X acted silently, no one was prepared; even with strong willpower, being ambushed by such a character, it was really hard to escape, and three Green Lanterns died on the spot.

And the rest should also have been severely damaged, otherwise, they wouldn't easily send people back to ask for reinforcements. The main universe Batman immediately turned his head and said: "You move the giant power battery directly to your base, tell Hal, don't skimp on energy. Quick!"

Then, he opened the personnel statistics interface and found that in just such a short round of attacks, they had lost 80% of the Flashes, five Supermen, and three Green Lanterns, and were still losing them.

The main universe Batman looked at the cold eyes of the main universe Superman that he had never seen before, tightly pursed his lips, and the fingertips holding the communicator were squeezed white.

But just at this moment, the Superman on the other bed also opened his eyes, and then the second, the third; immediately following were the Flashes on the row of hospital beds against the wall, all sat up, then stared at Batman with cold and vacant eyes, repeating in the same tone:

"Batman, you will pay the price."

"Batman, everything is your fault."

"Batman, you killed them."

"Batman, it's all you..."

"Batman..."
