Chapter 4089
Most people on the battlefield were on the verge of death. Under the pursuit of nightmare phantoms, they constantly turned into white light. Those who were strong enough sensed the existence of Dream Force and entered the Dream Dimension the moment they touched it. However, there were exceptions. Stark was the one who was neither injured nor rolled into the Dream Dimension.
This wasn't because he was lucky, but because his nature was very special. The Iron Demon God wasn't just a simple demon god, but also a kind of mechanical creation, or an electronic life. He could mechanize himself, and even turn his thinking into something similar to logical commands. No emotions, no survival needs, so naturally he wasn't affected by feelings of guilt and hunger. Although Moonlight and Hunt could still cause some damage, overall he could hold on.
Stark found the Main Universe Batman who was saving people. The other party's state was precarious. To save people, the Main Universe Batman held up against mental attacks, relied on Hell Armor to carry several knives, and managed to save quite a few people. It was just that his own state had become very bad.
Stark fished him out and gave him a shot. Before he could say anything, the Main Universe Batman asked first: "How did you guys do this?"
Stark originally wanted to explain that this was an accident, but didn't expect the Main Universe Batman to have already guessed it, so he had to sigh and say: "Doom mentioned it to me before, but I didn't expect them to really dare to do it."
Following the Main Universe Batman's questioning, Stark remembered what happened about two days ago. At that time, the Dark Multiverse Batman team had been in for a day, and they had also set up defenses here. Stark, Doom, and Reed all came.
When learning about the situation in the dimension, Doom thought for a moment and said: "That is to say, now it is full of very terrifying monsters. The other side cannot get the Infinity Stones, and we cannot go in?"
"Yes. That team they sent in hasn't come out yet, you have to know that those are several Batmen, and Batmen with superpowers. They all fell, so you know how terrifying it is inside."
"Then why not let the monsters out?"
"What?"
"Batman won't choose to give up, he will definitely bring a large army to confront us. As long as the monsters are released at that time, he can be wiped out."
"But that would also wipe us out! A whole team of Batmen couldn't beat them, who do we have that can beat them?"
"That doesn't matter. Our troops are more numerous than theirs, aren't they?"
Stark shook his head, clearly feeling that this idea was too crazy. But Doom didn't seem so persistent, seeing Stark didn't respond, he didn't make a sound either.
However, he clearly wasn't as easy to give up as he looked on the surface. And just in time, another person thought the same as him, and this person was the Main Universe Mr. Fantastic.
After the Main Universe Doctor Strange returned to the Battleworld, he had been sighing. Mr. Fantastic also knew that the Main Universe's performance in this war was simply a mess, if they didn't do something, they would have nothing to do, and their status in the multiverse would definitely plummet, and they would be easily spat on when they went out.
They urgently needed a huge result to return the Main Universe to its due status. And after learning that there were monsters in the dimension that could make Batman fall, Mr. Fantastic made the same judgment as Doom—this was a good opportunity to weaken Batman's strength.
The two hit it off almost immediately. Although they had no morals, they could calculate.
Now Marvel's troops were more numerous than DC's, assuming Marvel's troops were 10, DC's were about 7.
If they created a disaster that could reduce the troops of both sides by 5 on average, 10-5=5, 7-5=2. In this way, Marvel would have more than twice the troops of DC, wouldn't that be beautiful?
If the power of this great disaster was even greater, deducting 9 from the troops of both sides at once, their side could have 1 left, and Batman's side would still owe them 2 points, wouldn't they win?
The two calculated precisely like this, deciding to fight a decisive battle, striving to exhaust all of Batman's troops in one battle. And the method adopted was also what they were best at, which was explosion.
By the time the two armies confronted each other, there would definitely be a wave of confrontation. Those energies hitting people was one thing, but those that didn't hit were wasted, it was better to build a machine to collect them, then compress them, and then explode them directly, ensuring that not many would run out.
Of course, there were indeed those who were relatively strong, and no explosion could kill them, so just blow open the dimensional crack and let the monsters inside out. First use explosion to injure, then let the monsters harvest.
If there were still those who were not afraid of monsters, then directly use the Dream Force inside to pull them into the dream kingdom and trap them, and then eliminate them slowly. This was such a great and useful plan!
They felt they had calculated it very clearly, so there was no need to discuss it with others, just do it.
Ordinary people are not tired when doing bad things, they don't feel they are doing bad things at all. They feel they are great good people, and everything they do is good for the universe, the motivation is called full, and the machine was rubbed out in less than two days.
In fact, they didn't hide it from anyone, they used Stark's laboratory. But after all, scientists from other universes were also using it, because the Central Universe was very rich and provided them with a lot of resources, the machines they rubbed out were bigger than the other, and Doom and Reed's machine wasn't very conspicuous, so Stark didn't care.
Jarvis discovered it, and reported it to the command center and Stark. But it was the same, none of the machines built by these scientists were safe, and they were all somewhat related to explosions. He didn't know how many danger warnings he had transmitted back these days, the command center was already a bit numb, and didn't make timely processing.
The result was that their action was unexpectedly smooth, and they also achieved their strategic goal very well—Batman's troops were not many to begin with, and after such an explosion, the troops were less than one in ten.
Currently, most of the superheroes on their side didn't have counterparts, the remaining ones were all lone seedlings, and there were also those who came with few people and insufficient strength who were already out of print. Even those with strong strength didn't have many counterparts left, and there were no more than fifty in total.
Although Marvel's side also lost a lot, the young heroes were wiped out. Polaris from the Central Universe learned a trick from her dad, and turned into a magnetic field to save her life before dying, so she survived. Others, even those who ran fast like Quicksilver, dodged the explosion, but didn't dodge the subsequent nightmare phantom attacks, and not a single one was left.
Mutants only had a few old oilers left, Hulk and Iron Man from the Avengers survived some, and the rest, even genetically modified people, couldn't carry this intensity, basically returning to the Battleworld.
But fortunately, because Asgard was fighting, humans also went to support a wave, and the current battle situation was not bad, so Asgard's power was preserved intact, and a portion of human power was also retained.
And Marvel's scientists basically had no losses, Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Doom were still in the rear, Stark and Strange were also fine, the local mages of the Central Universe who guarded the Earth were also fine, and the magic schools and students in the Earth were even more fine, which was also a powerful force at critical moments. And because Spider-Man had spider-sense, he hid far away early, and was successfully preserved.
Therefore, Reed and Doom's strategic goal was indeed achieved. Don't worry about how many teammates were lost, just say whether the opponent was almost dead.
The Main Universe Batman of course knew that his troops were seriously insufficient, accurately speaking, the establishment had already been wiped out, and the remaining people couldn't fight a frontal battlefield at all.
His only reliance now was two, one was Manhattan Batman and Superman-body, and the other was the Dark Multiverse Knight Order that hadn't sent death news yet.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, Injustice Superman should have already entered the dimension, so what he had to do now was to buy time for him, letting him save people. Then he must not let these monsters outside go back, because Injustice Superman was not strong, he absolutely couldn't beat these monsters.
"Bruce," the Main Universe Batman said, "The Batmobile wasn't taken for nothing, you should work."
"Coming, coming," Bruce said, "You told me to check but didn't say where to check, I circled around the universe."
"They are at the dimensional entrance now. Find a way to stall them, don't let them go back."
"No problem," Bruce said, "I'll solve them."
"I didn't tell you to solve them, I just..."
The communication was hung up. The Main Universe Batman didn't know where Bruce got his confidence. Just thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he didn't tell Bruce that the pathological nightmare phantoms had superpowers, and were very aggressive, and couldn't communicate at all. Alright, now he knew where his confidence came from.
And Joker brought back a real piece of good news: Owlman was killed by him. The Main Universe Batman already knew this news, because Owlman was currently cursing in the group.
Bruce and Jack had already arrived at the dimensional entrance, but they came at a bad time, because it was currently in the aftershock phase of the earthquake—the Phoenix that lost its body was going crazy.
That wave of explosion basically destroyed all the bodies of the Phoenixes, and some of the more powerful ones also went crazy in the subsequent mental interference. The Phoenix was stimulated and went out of control directly, and the entire cosmic space turned into a sea of fire, even if there was still a breath before, now the ashes could definitely be packed in cans.
"Burning so fiercely, those nightmare phantoms should have been killed, right?" Bruce touched his chin and said.
"Hmph hmph." Jack hummed noncommittally.
Bruce revealed his wings, wanting to fly closer to see. The next second, countless fragments flashed before his eyes: the gradually weakening breath of a little girl, the disappointed look in Dick's eyes at a certain moment, the raindrops falling on Jason's arm, the old and hunched back of Alfred, the scar on the professor's neck...
Bruce took a deep breath, and before he had time to drive these illusions out of his mind, he saw the figure wearing a prince-style suit waving at him. He looked amiable, and the desire to confide filled Bruce's chest. He subconsciously flew toward that side...
And then he woke up abruptly, finding himself only one step away from the burning sea of fire.
Bruce flew away with a *whoosh*. The moment he pressed the communicator, he gave the Main Universe Batman a piece of authentic East Coast rap.
"Then you don't want the Batmobile?" the Main Universe Batman asked.
"You guess why I need a Batmobile?"
"Aren't you wanting to use it to pick up Selina at the wedding?"
"Is that on the premise that I still have a wedding?!"
"What are you afraid of? Dying is just returning to the Battleworld," the Main Universe Batman said, "Selina once accompanied you through the time when you were still Batman. The Batmobile is also your shared memory. She should have the most perfect wedding in the world, don't you think so?"
Bruce took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Wait."
