Chapter 4608

Bruce upstairs was still wearing Batman's attire, but looked like another person. He was skinny, his chest cavity was completely opened, the interior was covered with fine mechanical structures, spreading to the lungs and heart, while the ribs were spread outward, like a pair of wings.

He held a sickle with a chain in his hand. When he sensed Jack's breath, the sickle carrying the power of death arrived in a flash, and Jack dodged it with a roll. He lay in place panting for a while, tried his best to climb up, looked back, but the blood had already soaked his eyes, making the scene blurry.

With a "squelch," the Batarang wedged straight into the flesh. Jack let out a muffled groan, and the scene in front of him became more and more psychedelic. Beside him, sometimes it was children running and jumping in the warm corridor of the East End building, sometimes it was the cold wind in the dilapidated corridor.

Jack used all his strength to come to the corner ahead. He panted hard, wanting to concentrate again to respond to the previous voice. The next second, with a loud "bang," the terrible monster flew out far away in front of him, and a group of people rushed over.

"Jack!" Shiler shouted. He rushed over and helped Jack up from the ground. Charles stuffed something emitting white light into Jack's arms, the life force dissipated the power of death, and the wounds on Jack's body began to heal rapidly, but he was still a bit pale due to excessive blood loss, looking more like a Joker.

"Thanks." Jack let out a long breath. "I'm much better."

Shiler had time to look at the monster that was knocked away. When he saw that shape, he subconsciously shouted: "Laughing?"

But after looking carefully, he found it wasn't. Although the figure and dress were not like it, the pair of blue eyes were exactly the same. Shiler took a light breath, showing surprise for the first time.

"Just a monster in a nightmare," Jack said.

"Then your imagination is really rich." Shiler looked at the monster and marveled, "Why couldn't you beat him?"

"He is not really Batman, so I naturally couldn't become a Joker. My self-healing ability doesn't come from the Joker virus, but the authority of the Dream Realm."

"What I asked was why you have authority but couldn't beat him."

"Nekron's power is eating away at this place, the Dream Realm is almost out of control," Jack frowned and said, "Except for the Dream God, no one is the master here, I can't stop him."

Shiler looked at him. Jack paused and said: "I thought you knew. After Bruce was no longer Batman, I naturally was no longer a Joker. I still retain part of the Joker characteristics, because Batman still owes me."

Jack pointed to his head and said: "Madness is a defect, but it is also power. Without the madness of the Joker, I am naturally not indestructible in the spiritual world."

Shiler understood. Batman and Joker are bound, Bruce got rid of the identity of Batman, which made Jack no longer a Joker. And he still retains part of the Joker characteristics, because the things left over from the last era are still there. For example, the IOU Bruce gave him, which keeps him all the attributes of the Joker that are relatively good, such as the self-healing ability brought by the wine god factor. However, he had long since ceased to be so crazy.

If it were a normal Joker, although he couldn't control the Dream Realm, he wouldn't be trapped by a nightmare. Which Joker would be scared by his own nightmare?

Moreover, this nightmare is not something like Batman not playing with him, but Cat Getan is destroyed, and Batman has been chasing him, this can indeed be called a nightmare for the Joker, and another Joker would be able to play in it for a whole day.

But clearly for Jack, who has gotten rid of the madness of the Joker, the failure of the Cat Getan transformation plan, the entire city turning into a dead city, and Bruce turning into a monster, can indeed be called a nightmare.

But thinking about the good side, it must be because of certain moments in the reality world that made him have a certain sense of happiness brought by the changes in Cat Getan, that he would feel such fear for possible failure. Only those who have obtained it will be afraid of losing it.

"Where's your car?" Shiler asked.

"Gave it to Batman," Jack said. "Originally according to the plan, I could take them all away. But halfway we broke into the polluted area without any preparation, I used the Dream God authority to lure away a batch of enemies, letting them drive away. But the follow-up was weak, so I fell into my own nightmare."

Shiler nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "Where is Batman's destination?"

"Main universe," Jack said. "We originally wanted to return to the main universe through the Dream Realm, but an accident happened on the way. Didn't they go back?"

Shiler shook his head: "It's precisely because they didn't come back that we came looking for them. I'm afraid something else happened on the way, we have to think about where they would go."

Bat-Cat jumped from Charles's shoulder to Constantine's shoulder, and Constantine reached out to support him. Bat-Cat flicked his tail and said: "The Batmen will never go to the main universe. Because once the power of death is brought to the main universe, it's all over. The main universe Batman won't allow it."

"Then where will they go?"

"Going to any universe is not safe," Bat-Cat said. "Unless, there is something there that can restrain the power of death."

"For example?"

"If it's the reality world, it's relatively easy to find, just find a place with light or life force. But the Dream Realm is different, this is the spiritual world, it must have sufficiently powerful spiritual power to resist the power of death."

Shiler immediately thought of a Batman and said: "Evil God Batman, that is the universe of the Batman who has contact with the Outer God..."

He paused when he said this, and then said: "But the Outer God left."

Others looked at him. Shiler didn't know how to explain it either, after all, the story about Anatoly was really too long, if he started from the beginning, by the time he finished, Batman would probably be cold. So he waved his hand directly and said: "Charles, find a way to see if you can find the traces of the Outer God."

Before, Evil God Batman said that Nyarlathotep deleted a lot of things when he withdrew, including the memories of some believers. But it's definitely not all, because Evil God Batman still remembers, which proves that it wasn't deleted too cleanly, and it's still possible to find it.

Charles put on the brain wave amplifier. This search took a long time, but it was finally successful. After taking off the helmet, he said: "Found some, but it's very weak. We can jump over to see, but don't hold too much hope. This degree of spiritual pollution probably can't resist the power of death."

So, they took Jack and started a new round of jumping. However, because there was no Nekron manipulating behind the scenes, the situation of each dream bubble was about the same, and they were also handy in dealing with it. This time the speed was much faster, not long after, they jumped into a dream, and then found that this was actually Jerome's dream.

His situation was much better than Jack's. However, when the team members found him, he was also besieged by living corpses, just still able to persist. But it's not hard to see that if no one came to save him, he probably wouldn't be able to persist for too long.

"Hey, you guys," he said, "how did you come here?"

Jerome actually didn't know these people, but he recognized Shiler's face, although it was a younger version, clearly Shiler had left a very deep impression on him before, so he recognized him at once.

"We are here to find someone. Where's Batman?"

"He didn't come," Jerome said. "A batch of Batmen came here before, but they left soon."

"Why?"

"The power of the gods disappeared and could no longer protect this place, the Batmen had to find other ways out."

"Why isn't the Batman of the universe you are in here?"

"He doesn't enter the Dream Realm often," Jerome said. "He probably didn't find out."

"Didn't the Batmen contact him?"

"How to contact? Enter his subconscious directly? Is Nyarlathotep's power easy to deal with?"

Shiler then thought that the Batmen's plan might be to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, using the Outer God's spiritual pollution to deal with the power of death spreading in the Dream Realm. This is undoubtedly effective, because the Outer God is an expert in the spiritual field.

However, the Outer God's spiritual pollution cannot be underestimated. The Batmen probably wouldn't risk contacting Evil God Batman directly, because who knows what's in his spiritual world. If they broke in rashly, they might be caught by Nyarlathotep.

Don't look at Nyarlathotep's usual unreliability, he doesn't eat takeout that is delivered to his door. Even if he doesn't attack Batman directly, if he leaves some virus or something in their spiritual body, it's also a big trouble. So Batman didn't connect to Evil God Batman's spirit, which led to him not knowing at all. So when Shiler found him, he didn't mention anything about the Batmen.

And Anatoly's return, and Nyarlathotep taking his whole family to run away, also belong to unexpected situations. The Batmen's plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf went bankrupt, and continuing to stay here made no sense, they needed to find a new safe sanctuary, so they left from here.

"Where will they go?" Shiler asked.

"They are going to seek the protection of a powerful psychic," Jerome said. "I'm not quite sure where it is, but I heard them mention 'Fusion Universe' or something."

Shiler immediately reacted: "Earth-1!"

Batman is indeed Batman, encountered so many unexpected situations, and his brain still turned very fast. The 616 main universe of Marvel and Earth-1 of DC merged, that universe has both DC heroes and Marvel heroes, most importantly, it has the battle-hardened former main universe Professor X.

You know, the strength of mutants in comics is quite powerful, and developing to the stage of that 616 main universe, Magneto and Professor X have basically reached the situation of ending together. Not to say "this world is not worthy of you, and I am its deserved crime," but it must be "I want to give you a home."

Professor X at this time can be said to be the strongest, not necessarily weaker than the brain wave amplifier version of Charles from the universe of Greed. The Batmen should indeed seek his help.

As for why they didn't go at first, the long distance is one aspect, and the situation on the Marvel side is too complicated. Mutants have a big fight every three days and a small fight every two days, and going there might not be much safer than soaking in the power of death.

It is estimated that the Batmen also noticed the severity of the unlimited spread of the power of death, so they had to take the risk to let Professor X take action to reverse the situation. It's called taking refuge, but actually, they went to save the multiverse.

"Let me see where they are," Charles said. This exchange also took an exceptionally long time, and Charles's face changed several times.

When he took off the helmet, he sighed lightly and said: "This place is a bit far, on the edge of the Dream Realm. However, because of this, the pollution hasn't spread there yet."

"Did you contact that Professor X?"

Charles nodded and said: "Because it's too far, the signal is not very good, I only talked to him briefly, let's talk in detail when we get there."

They went through another jump, this time it was ridiculously far, probably jumping over a hundred dream bubbles. Later, several people were exhausted, and it was the two psychics, Joseph and Charles, who killed their way out.

Fortunately, they arrived at the destination smoothly. When they jumped into Professor X's spiritual world, many mutants were there. When they saw the young Charles walk out, everyone was stunned.
