Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 443: Seizing the Young Master?!
"Stop, stop, I said stop."

Ma Zhaodi suddenly interrupted the system's plan: "First of all, we've confirmed that we're going to the Dark Multiverse, right?"

No, the target location for the gig is the "Dark Multiverse," and the destination is the "The Boys Universe."

"Is there any connection between these two universes?" Ma Zhaodi couldn't help but ask. "One is despair, and the other is a cesspool. We're going to save people, so why can't we just go directly to the Dark Multiverse?"

[The Dark Multiverse contains various advanced powers belonging to different branches of creation/destruction, including "Perpetua," "The Bat Who Laughs," and "Barbatos." Based on the system's assessment, given their excessively high power levels, this universe should avoid direct contact with such universes as much as possible.]

Once you use the "Gathering" or "Smuggling" skills to directly traverse this universe, there is a greater than 90% chance that you will be watched by the aforementioned high-level powers/deities. When two universes are directly connected and exchange information/matter, the gaze of the deities of the Dark Multiverse will extend to this universe.

At that time, this universe will be invaded and polluted by the advanced powers of the aforementioned malevolent gods. Pure lands will be contaminated, and the world's danger level and intensity will increase rapidly—this is a unique characteristic of the gods of the dark multiverse, all for the purpose of invading the positive matter universe.

Remember, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

"."

Tongzi's explanation reminded Ma Zhaodi of a few videos he had accidentally come across when he was in college. At that time, the concept of the Dark Multiverse had just emerged, and everyone thought it was a good thing, so it was naturally very popular. Although he hadn't read much of the comics, he had indeed heard related explanations and general introductions.

“A matter universe, an antimatter universe, a dark multiverse.” Ma Zhaodi tried hard to recall what he had seen in the video: “I remember a little, but not much.”

These three elements constitute a certain period of the DC universe. The positive matter universe is the world you see with heroes like Batman, Superman, and The Flash in movies, comics, and novels; the vast majority of these stories take place in the positive matter universe.

The antimatter universe and the matter universe are two sides of the same coin, extremely similar yet completely different. The positions of good and evil shift between them. The heroes of the matter universe will inevitably have their reflections in the antimatter universe, but these reflections will also inevitably be supervillains—you can think of it as a villain universe. The Crime Syndicate and the Anti-Monitor are representative characters of the antimatter universe.

The most unique part of the universe is the Dark Multiverse. It shares some similarities with the matter universe, but it inherently has its own flaws and instabilities. The heroes in it are weaker than those in the matter universe, and some heroes are even completely absent in some Dark Multiverses. This is a natural deficiency in these universes—heroes have less room for error and less support when facing crises compared to the matter universe.

These universes are unstable and flawed products of the creation process. They were destined for a tragic end and should have been melted down and annihilated to become one of the raw materials for creating new universes. However, they were preserved and became a source of soldiers for certain beings to recruit subordinates and invade the positive matter universe.

"It sounds a bit like Cthulhu, except that the other side has a mind that conforms to human logic, so it can be easily identified as an enemy." Ma Zhaodi sighed: "Just observing it will alert the other side, and being corrupted by its power will bring about the destruction of the world. It can't be touched at all."

[The consequences of this correction far exceed those of the apocalypse. Once this universe is accessed by the forces of the Dark Multiverse, the world setting and the reader's perspective will immediately collapse to the era of the "Metal Events" universe and be categorized within the positive matter universe. The visions of multiple gods from both the positive and negative universes, as well as multiverse-level powerhouses, will become accessible to this universe, and curses, demons, and high-level forces will invade it.]

The attack of "Barbatos" within the Dark Multiverse will then unfold in full force, plunging countless positive matter universes into a countdown to destruction.

"Okay, that's enough, no need to build up the atmosphere anymore."

Ma Zhaodi interrupted the system's explanation: "I know what you mean. To put it simply, if we go directly to the Dark Multiverse, we'll all die, and we'll take an infinite number of other parallel universes with us." [Yes, including but not limited to the Henley-Universe universe, the Dark Knight trilogy universe, the Batman: The Lego universe, the Wolf universe, the Batman animated universe, the Flash TV and movie universes—and ninety percent of the comic book universe.]

"Now that you say that, I suddenly feel that my thoughts are extremely heinous."

Ma Zhaodi sighed and patted Clark on the shoulder: "Mind if I sit down and have a glass of water? I'll think about it."

"Oh, okay, no problem."

Superman, who had been poised to attack, immediately calmed down. He ran to get three glasses of water and handed them to Batman and Ma Zhaodi respectively.

They even used a thermal imaging camera to heat the water.

"Thank you." Ma Zhaodi took the cup of hot water, continuing to ask the system in his mind, "I know I can't go directly to the Dark Multiverse, but why choose the Boys as a transit point? Even if I haven't watched the show, I've seen some plot points. That world is full of rotten people. Couldn't you have chosen another universe as a transit point? Choose one that looks more pleasing to the eye."

[Please note that regardless of whether it is a matter universe or an antimatter universe, any contact between any DC universe and the Dark Multiverse will attract Barbatos's attention and allow it to find a path to invade.]

Therefore, the transit universe should not be considered the "DC universe," because Barbatos has no interest in universes outside of DC, so he will not focus on or project more power into the transit universe.

Secondly, the transit universe needs to be close enough to the "DC universe" to minimize the resources consumed in traveling between universes—generally speaking, the closer the universe is to the DC universe, the closer it is.

"Are the Boys really that similar to the DC Universe?" Ma Zhaodi rolled his eyes. "Let me think... Deep Sea is a budget version of Aquaman, Homelander is a super budget version of Superman, A-Train is a budget version of The Flash, Invisible Man is a budget version of Martian Manhunter, Queen Maeve is a budget version of Wonder Woman, Lamplighter is a budget version of Green Lantern, and Black is the ultimate budget version of Batman."

As he was speaking, Ma Zhaodi fell silent again.

So you can see for yourself that this universe is very similar in structure to the DC universe.

"These two universes have completely different themes and cores, okay? The Boys universe is full of bastards, for crying out loud—isn't there a second, more similar universe?"
