Chapter 4048

The huge blue planet just stopped like this, and then began to gradually dissolve from the outside. It carried an invincible power, just like a painting being washed by water and gradually melting. Everything looked fragile under the reflection of that red power.

Darkseid finally showed a few expressions of fear. He felt that his efforts were completely in vain. The Scarlet Power was erasing the existence of the Apokolips domain bit by bit, and he had no power to fight back.

He turned his head to look at Batman, only to find that the main universe Batman also had a deep face, as if he had no more solutions. He cursed in his heart, but also felt a little despair.

Yes, what else could Batman do? He was just a human without superpowers. Slightly stronger power could crush him to pieces. A powerful existence like the Scarlet Witch, who was hard to describe, probably completely exceeded his imagination, right? How could a person make targeted plans for a strong person he had never seen before?

Although Darkseid was still gritting his teeth and persisting, the destruction of the Apokolips domain was only a matter of time. After the entire shield was completely swallowed, this place became a red world, and the Scarlet Power was almost everywhere.

"Prepare to transfer," the main universe Batman said. He flicked his cape, turned and walked back, then said, "Everyone retreat to the Dark Quadrant."

Although they were all unwilling, there was no other way. All superheroes received the order to evacuate. They tightly pursed their lips, revealing anger and helplessness on their faces. The main universe Batman was as deep as ever, and no one could understand what he was thinking.

"Is this the Batman of the main universe?" Owlman took the opportunity to kick them while they were down, "He led you to fight for so long, and in the end, it resulted in a fleeing outcome. Following him into battle is absolutely the most wrong decision you have ever made."

"At least he appeared," Batwoman said, "Then when we were fighting for our lives on the battlefield, where were you?"

"I was just injured and came a little late," Owlman gave a light hum and said, "However, having caused such a big defeat, the main universe Batman shouldn't have the face to continue being this leader, right? I advise you to consider carefully who you choose as the successor."

"No matter who you choose, it's impossible to choose you," Mechanical Batman said coldly, "If we chose you, we would have been beaten back home long ago."

Owlman glared at her, feeling that they were just being stubborn. Currently, it looked like even the strongest main universe Batman couldn't lead them to gain an advantage, so all Batmen similar to him weren't good choices, so wouldn't it just be left with himself?

The superheroes boarded the spaceship materialized by the Green Lantern, flew out of the Apokolips domain, and witnessed the demise of this huge planet outside.

Initially, the entire star system was blue, but the red violent power kept invading inward, squeezing the blue into a very small area, swallowing it bit by bit. And then the center formed an explosive vortex, and finally, the entire Apokolips domain collapsed inward, becoming a huge black hole.

Darkseid didn't perish with the Apokolips domain. After all, besides being the master of Apokolips, he was also a very powerful New God. Even without Apokolips, he could live well.

On that side, Wanda finally found the four children and her own father located on the other side of Apokolips.

"My god!" She was simply screaming. First, she grabbed her two sons, spanked their butts, then glared at Franklin unhappily, and finally hurriedly took little Rogers over to coax him.

"Quite a big commotion was made," Erik said, "You shouldn't have been so impulsive, Wanda."

"I just wanted to find the children," Wanda sighed and said, "Besides, we didn't know you were caught here, otherwise I would have come to find you long ago. The Professor must be worried sick, let's go back quickly."

She paused and then continued: "Actually, I didn't intend to take action, after all, the other side didn't have anyone who could compete with me. If I made too much noise, others wouldn't have the opportunity to hone themselves. However, this time I destroyed their base and severely damaged Batman's team, which can be considered as boosting morale, so it's not considered that I was slacking off."

"Severely damaged Batman?" Erik seemed to find it somewhat funny, saying, "Do you think you created excellent results?"

"It can't be called excellent, but I did destroy their base after all. For other superheroes, this should be considered a tough nut to crack, so it's still a contribution, right?"

"Do you know what the relationship between Darkseid and Batman is?"

"Uh... they should be allies, right? Otherwise, why would Darkseid lend his house to Batman?"

Erik shook his head and said: "Darkseid is an alien, and a powerful alien at that. Such a person and Batman will never have a true alliance relationship."

Wanda then reacted: "Wait, you mean, Batman is using my hand to eliminate his future enemies?!"

Erik nodded somewhat helplessly.

At this time in the command center, the Avengers were cheering, because they just learned that Apokolips had been finished off by the Scarlet Witch. Stark was also a bit excited, saying: "Great, finally knocked off their turtle shell. Next, we can drive straight in and threaten their base!"

He turned to look at Schiller sitting on the side, only to find that Schiller had no joy at all. Stark gave a hum and said: "We achieved such a big result, is someone going to be unhappy?"

"Your father really wasn't wrong," Schiller looked at him and said, "The post-war generation really doesn't understand anything."

Stark immediately frowned and looked at him, saying: "What do you mean? Where did I say it wrong? Before, Batman kept hiding in Apokolips, safe and sound with the planet's shield. Even if they retreated to the Dark Quadrant this time, that's still easier to handle than Apokolips. Isn't it?"

"We only see this as a training exercise, Batman might not," Steve opened his mouth on the side, "War is never about the present, but about the future. Take World War II as an example, many times the air force bombed somewhere, not because there were many soldiers there, but because blowing up a certain place might cause the other side to lack certain industrial products in two or three years, which would naturally affect the national economy and also affect the military strength."

Stark was somewhat dazed. He really didn't understand war very well and didn't turn the corner for a moment. Schiller explained: "Most universes' Batman and Darkseid are deadly enemies. Even in the main universe, they are temporarily cooperating, and it is absolutely impossible for them to become true allies. The existence of the Apokolips domain will be the biggest threat to the Earth where Batman is."

"However, the main universe Batman, in order to end the Guardians of the Universe before, had to choose to deal with the tiger for its skin. Although he gained a lot of energy himself, he also let Darkseid have the technological legacy of the Guardians of the Universe, Oa, further strengthening Apokolips. Do you think Batman will let Apokolips continue to grow stronger?"

Stark immediately opened his mouth, and said somewhat suddenly: "So he wants to use us to weaken Apokolips?"

"That's right. What harm does it do to Batman that the Scarlet Witch destroyed Apokolips? It's just lacking a sufficiently solid base in a war that isn't important. Then what about the benefits?"

Stark swallowed and said: "Let the biggest threat to Earth have no home for thousands of years in the future."

"Darkseid's strongest moves currently are two: one is the elusive Omega Beams, and the other is the invincible posture within the Apokolips domain. The combination of these two is an effect of 1+1>2. He can completely use Omega Beams to kill others and then resurrect them within the Apokolips domain, so he can almost capture anyone in the universe."

"But now without the invincible Apokolips domain, he can activate the beams, at most killing the other side without being able to capture them. Because without the invincible posture, no matter where he takes people, they might be saved, which makes him almost have no strategic space."

"But, we can all be resurrected, can't the Apokolips domain be resurrected?" Stark asked.

"Resurrecting these superheroes has already made the administrators on both sides scratch their heads. How much face does Darkseid have to make Lucifer work overtime to resurrect his domain? I'm afraid Lucifer wishes that thing wouldn't come back, otherwise, he would have to rewrite the code again."

"My god," Stark couldn't help but sigh, "Batman is simply too cunning! We just thought about having a fight, he actually took the opportunity to clean up the hostile forces in his universe. Then you say, can we do the same?"

"This is Batman's cunning," Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As far as I know, there are quite a few big killers in their universe, but they haven't appeared yet. I'm afraid it's precisely because Batman doesn't want to play the role of a cleaner and doesn't want to be used by us, so he has been hiding them."

"Wait a minute," Stark seemed to have suddenly thought of something, "I think something is wrong. The four children sneaking out might indeed be an accident, but Magneto being caught to Apokolips..."

"It was indeed a program error," Schiller said, "However, whether the error was produced naturally or by human intervention, it's unknown."

Stark sat down slowly, thinking while saying: "It might not have been produced naturally, but Batman used some unknown means to interfere with Battleworld's judgment."

"You think, at that time Charles hadn't used his ability to kill the Flashes, the Dark Quadrant definitely had Flashes in it, then Batman couldn't not know that a certain Magneto was fighting Thanos. Although the Flash might not recognize specifically which Magneto it was, he definitely knew that the two were entangled."

"And the main universe Batman chose to let Darkseid use Omega Beams to teleport the two back... uh, according to your statement, kill first and then resurrect, then he definitely would have thought this would affect Magneto. No matter whether Magneto was taken away or killed, it would definitely touch the nerves of the mutants."

"Being caught needs to be saved, being killed needs to be avenged. The mutants would definitely go to trouble Apokolips in the end. Is this really not intentional?" Stark thought for a while and then continued, "I understand, it must be Batman who deliberately created the program error."

"How so?" Steve asked.

"If the main universe Batman directed Darkseid to kill Magneto, leading to mutants besieging Apokolips, then Darkseid would definitely be able to realize this is Batman's trap, and he might turn against them on the spot, choosing to deal with the superheroes within the Apokolips domain. This is very dangerous for Batman, because Darkseid is invincible within the Apokolips domain, and no one can defeat him, so the superheroes would be turtles in a jar."

"But if Magneto didn't die, but was only captured, then Darkseid would feel there is room for negotiation. He wouldn't feel this is Batman's trap, because if setting a trap, of course, it's to kill the person, so the mutants would fight to the death; while alive, the room for negotiation is too big. Therefore, Darkseid wouldn't have a strong sense of crisis, and wouldn't take action against the superheroes in advance. And when Wanda comes over, Apokolips will be destroyed in an instant, and by the time Darkseid reacts, it will be too late."

"So, Magneto not dying is Batman's delaying tactic, just to boil the frog in warm water, and then wait for the Scarlet Witch to make the final decision, eliminating Darkseid's biggest capital—the Apokolips domain. This is the same as what Schiller once did against Thanos's Dark Quadrant."

"Think about it carefully, what did the main universe Batman lose? Although he did suffer defeat in this war, this war wasn't important anyway, and the Flashes will all be resurrected in Battleworld. But the destroyed Apokolips domain will never come back."
