Chapter 4536: Brightest Day (II)
How did the Justice League push the Earth? Actually, it was similar to what Schiller guessed, but a bit different. The part guessed correctly was mainly about deceiving the world. In fact, whether it was the sun being extinguished by Nekron or consciousness being obscured by the Great Old Ones, the fact was: if the Earth fell into eternal night, then the vast majority of people had no way to judge the Earth's position in the universe.
If humans couldn't judge, it was even simpler to deceive Brainiac. Because Brainiac was a program, which meant that as long as some small changes were made, his cognition could be disrupted. As long as some pressure was applied during the process, he would likely ignore some program anomalies. This was the reason why H'El approached Brainiac.
An existence like H'El had always been "I want, I get," where was the need to urge electronic life? It was nothing more than using his own strength to pressure Brainiac to achieve the purpose of confusing the public.
However, this part of the plan was not without accidents. It wasn't strange that Brainiac invited the Super-Body, the only problem was: the Super-Body caused his program to malfunction, which gave Lex, who was messing around, a big scare. It was close, he almost couldn't suppress this electronic life.
Fortunately, Lex Luthor also had solid technology. Even if Brainiac might be transforming toward a brand-new life form, he still used his superb program editing technology to deceive Brainiac's sight.
And the second accident naturally appeared on the Gray Lantern ring. No one expected that Schiller, who was always very lazy and wouldn't move unless poked, would have such strong subjective initiative this time, and even pulled out the Gray Lantern that hadn't been seen for a long time, and rewrote the history of the sun's extinction.
H'El traveled through time and space repeatedly several times before figuring out what they wanted to do. After confirming that the changes brought about by the Gray Lantern ring were only beneficial and not harmful to them, the plan could proceed smoothly.
In fact, Janna also brought some trouble. Originally, Barry didn't need to risk contacting the power of death. But because Janna was an empath, if the play wasn't acted realistically, Barry couldn't quickly exit the stage to do private work. Fortunately, the Speed Force was his own home field, and others didn't understand it, so he fooled them.
The process of dismantling the planet propulsion device was very smooth, and there was no trouble during transportation. However, in the activation stage, there was another episode that did not match the plan, which was that Schiller directly poked the Entity of Life awake.
This step was also not in the Justice League's expectations. They didn't deliberately move that thing to the Earth's core and then wait for Schiller to exert force, or rather, they didn't count on Schiller at all. The power the Justice League prepared was Dark Power.
Or rather, it was precisely because they were prepared to push with Dark Power that they put this thing in the Earth's core, so that it could stay away from the crowd and ensure that it would not cause other pollution. But they didn't expect Schiller to perform extraordinarily and directly poke the Entity of Life awake. The life force that erupted in a short period of time directly activated the engine, and the Earth went out with a "swoosh."
At that time, the Justice League underground was shaken quite a bit. If the Dark Power had been added slowly, there would have been no feeling. Now it was good, the car that should have been added with gasoline was added with diesel, and with one foot on the accelerator, it rushed out like a tractor.
It was also because the horsepower was too sufficient that the breakthrough attack plan for the Apokolips realm prepared originally was not used, and the Earth crashed directly into it. To what extent was this force? It could only be said that if it weren't for Bruce's solid technology, the Earth could have even crossed directly from one end to the other, punching through the Apokolips realm from the middle. But fortunately, they still successfully braked and stopped steadily in the Apokolips realm.
In fact, the hardest part of the whole plan was the last step, which was how to open the channel to the Unliving Realm. If this link was simple, Nekron would have succeeded long ago. It was precisely because it was actually very difficult that Nekron had not truly descended for a long time.
But who was Bruce? It could only be said that after experiencing all kinds of things, Bruce still lived into the self that the Laughing Batman imagined. He might not be very powerful at doing serious things, but he was exceptionally talented at being a villain. His scientific research style was unique, his universe destruction intensity was quite bold, and his main theme was daring to think and do.
It was a bit difficult for the Unliving Realm to directly connect to the reality universe. Besides the fact that the barrier of the reality universe was relatively thick, it was also because a large group of Batmen were eyeing it like tigers. Once there was a problem with the multiverse barrier, they would definitely discover it.
However, there was not absolutely no connection between various realms. Some realms with common rules could feel the existence of the other party in the dark. For example, realms where "death and darkness" rules existed had commonalities, and the barriers would be relatively weak, so going through here was the best choice.
The reason Nekron didn't do this, but instead hard-knocked the reality barrier, was because the existences in these realms were not easy to mess with. If you punched a hole to someone's head, wouldn't they fight you to the death?
Coincidentally, among the existences in the multiverse who managed the realms of death and darkness, there was really one who was particularly easy to mess with—we still don't know the name of the channel that Barbatos saw punched through his head that day, only that the Dark Dragon also cursed quite nastily when he scolded people.
Doing this had a huge advantage, which was that the Dark Realm of Barbatos had a ready-made channel to the reality universe, which was the metal channel that Barbatos had prepared for many years. As long as several types of metals were collected, the door to the reality world would open.
The universe where Schiller was, of course, had not had the Metal Event. But after all, the basic settings of the universe were still there, as long as the process was followed once, it was bound to be able to punch a hole.
So Bruce hurriedly went to find Deathstroke, then hurriedly went to find Ares, then hurriedly went to visit Ra's al Ghul, then hurriedly went to Egypt, and finally hurriedly went to find Lucifer, asking him to spit out the Amber Gold that the Court of Owls should have had, which was lost by him.
Just when Schiller and the others were running the campaign, Bruce was not idle either, using two weeks to speed-run the Metal Event. Everything went smoothly, until the last step.
According to the process of the Metal Event, just collecting these metals was not enough, and finally, Bat-Metal had to be poured on Batman's body to make Batman become the door.
Bruce was no longer Batman, so it was doubtful whether it would be useful if poured on him. Even if it was useful, he wouldn't do it. So his original plan was to get one of the two Laughing Batmen over, just to make waste utilization.
But soon, Bruce discovered a simpler method—that monster in the lake actually possessed Batman's attributes. Just splash Bat-Metal on him.
The matter was like this: in order to make the zombies under the cliff move again, Schiller found Jonathan to get the Joker virus solution and injected it into those zombies, making them infected with the Joker virus. This did save them, but it also gave them certain Joker attributes.
And at this time, the monster in the lake was born. Just like the appreciation of other lunatics for this work, those zombie Jokers also appreciated it for a long time and cast enough attention on it. This led to the monster really having Batman's attributes.
Thus, Bruce stopped his steps to the Dark Multiverse, directly brought the monster to the Apokolips realm, and then splashed the prepared Bat-Metal on it.
The channel to the Unliving Realm that had been opened to Barbatos's Dark Realm came over along the hole punched out by the Dark Realm. As for why Barbatos didn't come over, it could only be said that Constantine's new book that was popular all over the world was not written in vain. Nyarlathotep took the benefits, so naturally, he had to help do some work.
It could be seen that every step of the Justice League's series of plans was having problems. It could also be seen that every step of Schiller's series of plans was also having problems. But very coincidentally, the problems in these two plans just happened to complement each other. So-called one bug is a bug, a pile of bugs can work. Don't care how chaotic the process is, anyway, the result is happy for everyone.
Of course, only for the Earth. For the remaining three parties, it was not so wonderful. However, what they didn't know was that precisely because the two plans jammed each other's bugs, while everything progressed surprisingly smoothly, it also left Bruce with spare energy. And human madness had no upper limit.
Because of the awakening of the Entity of Life, Bruce didn't use the Dark Power he prepared. But you say that since they are here, and things have developed to this point, and the dishes are all served, ending it like this is a bit too sloppy. So-called strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches. Since there is still strength, why not come another punch.
"I have a bold idea," Bruce looked at the people of the Justice League and said, "Let them have no way to harass us in a short time—or maybe never."
Everyone became excited. Although it was overtime time now, people were never tired when doing bad things. After listening to Bruce's plan, no one objected. Thus, a more crazy and weird adventure was destined to set sail.
Just when the three parties were looking at each other, probing each other, but not daring to be too aggressive, considering how to get out of this awkward situation, changes were quietly happening within the Dark Realm where Barbatos was.
Because Barbatos was forced to be busy running the Nyarlathotep campaign, he was temporarily unable to manage, and the whole realm was left to Bruce to act. And he had the authority to control the Dark Power, and the channel from the whole Unliving Realm to the reality world just happened to pass through the Dark Realm. So he directly punched a hole in this channel and controlled the Dark Power to drill in.
At this time, Nekron did not use this channel, because he knew that the opposite was Darkseid's Apokolips realm, and he did not dare to leave the Unliving Realm easily. It would be troublesome if he popped his head out and was controlled by someone. Darkseid also did not dare to go to the Unliving Realm easily. Neither party dared to fight on a non-home field. And because the channel was empty, neither party noticed that Bruce had drilled in.
Bruce, who drilled into the channel, began to continuously infuse Dark Power into it, and then let one end spread forward until it overflowed from the door in the Apokolips realm. Invading the Apokolips realm was not easy, but because it was directly connected to the Dark Realm, a lot of Dark Power could be output, so it occupied a large area in an instant.
Before Darkseid could react, the Dark Power stuck to the Apokolips realm like a dog-skin plaster. Then the Dark Power in the channel exerted force and suddenly dragged the Apokolips realm into the channel. The entire Apokolips realm was like a piece of jelly, directly dragged into the channel, and then dragged by the Dark Power all the way to the Unliving Realm at the other end of the channel.
To be precise, it was a 360-degree loop, and it smashed onto Nekron's skull with a "bang." Nekron fainted, Darkseid was numb, and the Batmen were collectively boiling. ===== CHAPTER 4537 =====
