Chapter 4458

~11 min read 2,020 words

In the Battleworld, at Batman's base.

Batman walked in. The other Batmen had already arrived, clearly waiting here for a long time. The main-universe Batman walked up first and shook hands with him.

"You've worked hard." He said, "That guy seems to know that it's no longer possible in your universe. He has started to infiltrate other universes simultaneously."

Batman narrowed his eyes and said, "How could it be so fast?"

"You guarded too strictly," Arkham Batman said, arms crossed, "That Martian invasion drama completely blocked his plan to use family ties to provoke the Justice League. I'm afraid this was a brilliant plan he racked his brains to come up with, only to be so easily resolved by you. He knew how difficult you are to deal with, so he decided to find a softer persimmon to squeeze."

"Who is it?" Batman looked around and asked.

All the Batmen remained silent. It looked a bit like isolation, though Batman would never do such a thing. Not making a sound proved it really wasn't their universe.

At this moment, a person with a different style walked out, and Bruce said with his hands in his pockets: "Unfortunately, it is yours truly."

"When you learned this news, you didn't laugh out loud, did you?" Batman asked.

"We tried our best to hold it in." Adventure Batman twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

Batman looked at Bruce; he knew this was definitely not a coincidence. I'm afraid Bruce had done something behind the scenes again, drawing Nekron's gaze toward him.

After all, Bruce had been to his universe. The undead controlled by Nekron had had contact with him. There was no reason to think he was a soft persimmon. In the current situation, it could only be intentional on his part.

"Who was resurrected in your place?" Batman asked directly.

"You've hit the nail on the head," Bruce walked to the side of the circular platform in the middle, took a cup of coffee, and then said, "Almost everyone's relatives in our place didn't die. The only one worth resurrecting had been resurrected before and thrown into the lake. I also want to know who he intends to resurrect."

"You'd better be careful." Arkham Batman said.

"Currently, our focus is still on your universe," the main-universe Batman looked at Batman and said, "How is it over there?"

"Not bad. The Justice League is fighting those resurrected undead, who call themselves the 'Blackest Day.' Currently, the most noteworthy members are Atlan and Steppenwolf. The others are not worth worrying about."

"Steppenwolf is no match for Superman. Although Atlan occupies the advantage in the water, Arthur has been fighting him for control. The others assist from the side. In the end, they are no match for us either."

"What you need to guard against is internal danger," the main-universe Batman said, "That kind of death power is highly polluting. He will definitely use this point."

"I naturally have preparations," Batman said, "What about you guys? Do you have any plans?"

"We are searching for life force," Adventure Batman thought for a moment and said, "Since there is the Black Light power representing death, there must be the White Light power representing life. A Batman has already contacted us and provided relevant information. It's just that how to summon and use it is still under study."

"That is indeed a problem," Batman thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those undead also wear rings on their hands. That is to say, the power of these Lantern rings must have a carrier to work. The carrier of the Black Light power is the resurrected undead. What about the White Light? There should be some special requirements, right?"

"We are investigating," the main-universe Batman said in a deep voice, "Regardless of who can ultimately utilize the White Light power, we will help him obtain this power."

"What if he is unwilling?"

The main-universe Batman shook his head and said: "The requirements for life force are likely the exact opposite of death power. Then the carrier must not be a person of great evil. For the sake of the multiverse's safety, he will agree."

"I don't doubt that he will eventually agree. But if his asking price is too high..."

"He has no other choice." The main-universe Batman said.

When Batman returned to his own universe, the battle between the Justice League and the Blackest Day was nearing its end. Very unsurprisingly, the Justice League held a huge upper hand. Atlan was directly pinned to death by Superman, losing his first head. Steppenwolf also vanished into thin air under the siege of the rest of the Justice League. And this time, Dr. Erdel and the Allen couple were also forced to transform into undead forms. It's just that their original bodies were too weak, so they were even more useless.

But the aftereffects also appeared after the war. Diana, who returned to the Justice League base, was panting. She lay on the table looking very uncomfortable.

As everyone knows, this lady is quite strong. Even if she were dying, she might not necessarily show a painful expression. But now she actually showed a bit of fragility. Obviously, this was not just physical pain.

"Find a way... find a way to lock me up." Diana said with some difficulty, "I can no longer stop the invasion of death power. But I must never become a monster that hurts you; hurry and find a way to lock me up!"

No one made a move for a long time, not because they didn't want to do so. It was because there was really no place to lock Diana up. Nowhere was safe enough. You couldn't just throw her into the sea, could you?

Clark grabbed her hand, wanting to use magic energy to help her suppress it, but the moment he touched her, he felt a needle-like pain. He subconsciously retracted his hand. Diana kept shaking her head and said: "Don't touch me. This thing has already..."

Clark still wanted to grab her, but J'onn quickly stopped him and said: "Don't touch her anymore; if you get infected, we're done for."

Although Clark was angry, he didn't dare to take the risk. He was so anxious he was spinning around in the room. At this time, Barry spoke up and said: "I think I might also be a little... I'm a little uncomfortable..."

J'onn was taken aback and hurried over to look at his hand. It turned out that the corpse spots on the back of Barry's hand had already spread to his arm. And perhaps because he was an ordinary person, his resistance was weaker. The corpse spots were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I must return to the Speed Force," Barry said, "Only there will this thing not spread. The longer I stay out, the deeper I am eroded."

"Will it not spread in the Speed Force?" Clark widened his eyes and said, "Then can you take Diana in?"

Barry was stunned for a moment, then said: "It seems possible. But ordinary people can't stay in the Speed Force for too long. I haven't tried it either, I'll give it a try."

After speaking, he grabbed Diana and disappeared together in the light of lightning. Soon, he came out again and said: "It works. But from now on, we might both have to stay in the Speed Force and can't come out. Otherwise, we will soon be eroded away."

"Hurry and go," J'onn said, "Leave this place to us, you guys just keep yourselves safe."

Barry nodded and then left. The remaining people were all somewhat silent. At this time, Hal walked out of the portal, and Clark looked at him and said: "How are you?"

"The battle situation on Apokolips is very intense. But fortunately, the Lanterns have already surrounded the Apokolips territory, so Darkseid won't be able to send troops to take advantage of the chaos."

"I'm not asking about Apokolips, but about you; are you okay?"

Hal was stunned, then said: "What's wrong with me?"

"Weren't you also eroded before?"

Hal only then remembered, then asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Diana and the others?"

"Their erosion degree suddenly worsened. It must be the mastermind playing tricks. Are you okay?"

Hal looked at his arm and found that the corpse spots seemed to have indeed deepened, and he said: "Green Lantern energy has a certain restraining effect on Black Lantern energy. My side is developing more slowly."

"That's good," Clark breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't let your guard down either. Once there's a problem, withdraw immediately."

Hal nodded and also urged: "I'm afraid you are their thorn in the side now; they will definitely find a way to pollute you. You must be careful too."

After speaking, he glanced at his phone and found that Schiller had called him over, so he waved his hand and flew toward Wayne Manor.

With this, the Justice League was directly missing two major generals. Don't look at Diana and Barry as not the most powerful, but they were also indispensable. Diana is the strong attacker who leads the charge. Although divine power could not cause suppression, she is very good at fighting and can always entangle the enemy so they can't get away. Barry is even more important. He can use the Speed Force to help teammates dodge attacks, which is their insurance for letting go and fighting. With both of them off the field, the situation began to turn unfavorable.

Just as Clark wanted to discuss the next combat plan, an alarm came from the nail side again. The Blackest Day that had just been eliminated had actually returned.

Clark couldn't help but close his eyes for a moment. Who could withstand this?

Indeed, they didn't spend much effort eliminating these people. The one who consumed the most was Arthur, after all, he had to fight for control of the seawater at all times to cooperate with Superman to kill Atlan. But Superman and J'onn still had more than half of their stamina left, so killing them a few more times wouldn't be a problem.

But the opponent could resurrect infinitely, while they only had one life, and once polluted, they couldn't take the field at all. How could they fight this?

"The key should be the ring," Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Hal told me that without the ring, the Green Lantern has no way to directly control Green Lantern energy. Similarly, as long as the rings are stripped off this group of people, they should have no way to resurrect."

"What if that Nekron gives them another one?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Clark also thought of it, and he said, "If the rings could be wholesaled infinitely, then there would be no telling how many resurrected undead there would be on Earth right now. Even if they weren't as powerful as Atlan and Steppenwolf, they would definitely cause huge trouble. Since there aren't, it means the ring must also have certain limitations."

"I think so too," Arthur said, "And, do you remember, it was these undead that appeared first, and then the rings. I'm afraid it must be undead resurrected by death power to be able to wear the ring; ordinary people probably can't use them."

"And that so-called Nekron simply cannot descend directly, meaning he only sends some power through the barrier. Then this power must be limited and cannot resurrect many people. When he resurrected those fake relatives before, he already consumed quite a bit. The plan failed completely, and now that he remembers to attack by force, I'm afraid he's already stretched thin."

"As long as we can snatch the rings, we will definitely be able to consume part of his power and delay the resurrection of that group of undead."

Clark nodded and said: "Good, next we will find a way to snatch the rings. But be sure to be careful not to get polluted."
