I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

Batman is going to actively enter the Dark Multiverse, so in order to prevent enemies from digging too much information out of his mind, he doesn't devise tactics for the heroes, but instead focuses on developing his own technology.

Batman still intends to connect the battlefield to the Prometheus star system; he doesn't want to give up such a significant advantage as being able to traverse the Origin Wall.

With the help of Superman, Cyborg, Mr. Excellence, and many other heroes, the portal was quickly established and is currently in standby mode. But once activated, it can instantly transport people across countless light-years to the Wall of Origin in the Prometheus star system.

Gotham City is now in ruins, the entire city crushed by the massive Challenge Mountain. The heroes are divided into four groups to surround Challenge Mountain, with the medic and others also nearby, ready to fight at any moment.

After creating the portal, Batman dismissed everyone and sat alone in a spare Batcave, quietly waiting for the other party to make a move.

His mind began to become somewhat muddled, with nightmare-like fragments flashing through his brain automatically. Batman forced himself to stay awake and realized that the other party was really about to make a move.

……

Meanwhile, in the Dark Multiverse.

Barbatos let out a long cry, a roar that sounded like a cry of anguish that pierced through vast cosmos, causing countless beings to tremble. At the same time, some heroes who should not have turned to the dark side were awakened by this sound, their inner darkness was also stirred, making the universe even more cruel.

However, this was not Barbatos's purpose; he was merely urging his men on.

"Finally, is it time to make a move? Upper World, hahaha!?" The Bat of Laughter trembled with excitement upon hearing this voice, almost rolling on the ground laughing.

The others weren't as dramatic as him, but they all weighed their weapons in their hands, rubbing their hands together, ready to fight. Wasn't this the main purpose of their service to Barbatos?

The spaceship beneath their feet was driven at full speed, hurtling towards Barbatos's universe. Everyone was impatient.

Chapter 364 The Dark Knights Arrive

When the Dark Knights arrived before Barbatos, he had already made all the necessary preparations and was ready to enter the multiverse at any time.

Karl looked up and saw a tower on the summit of the mountain where Barbatos usually stayed. It looked very similar to the human-pillared towers around it, except that there was only one person tied to it, a person wearing a black bat suit.

Batman has been captured and is now bound to the human pillar tower.

Barbatos obviously wouldn't kill him, because Batman's death would mean the collapse of his carefully prepared path, but he also wouldn't give Batman a chance to cause trouble.

Batman's consciousness was trapped in a nightmare by Barbatos, while his body was constantly drained of energy by the Human Pillar Tower, leaving him with no muscles and only a minimal amount of vitality.

Although Barbatos didn't provide any details, the Dark Knights deduced that this Batman was from the main universe.

They glanced up a few times, but seeing that this Batman was not much different from their past selves, they quickly lost interest and refocused their attention on the issue of invading the multiverse.

Barbatos glanced at them and said, "You should already know what's going to happen next, so I won't say more. I'm sure you'll put in a lot of effort, so get ready and let's begin."

Barbatos activated the surrounding pillar towers, drawing out a large amount of dark energy, which then converged towards the mountain where Barbatos was located, or more precisely, towards the pillar tower at the summit where Batman was imprisoned.

When the energy accumulated to a certain level, Barbatos swung his giant claw, and all the energy instantly shot up from the top of the tower, like a pillar piercing through the ever-present black clouds, and condensed into a plane at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

From the ground, it looked like a lake hanging upside down in the sky, its mirror-like surface even reflecting the image of the Dark Knights.

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, the image in the sky quickly changed, from the Dark Knights to Gotham City in the main universe. Of course, Gotham City can now be described as destroyed, with the entire city replaced by the massive Challenge Mountain.

"Is that the upper world? I'm really looking forward to it."

"It looks like we're about to descend onto that mountain."

"However, Lord Barbatos, it seems that the Justice League of that universe has already detected our actions and made ample preparations in advance. Do we really want to do as they wish and descend into their encirclement?"

The Dark Knights were full of fighting spirit and eagerly anticipated the next move. They were willing to put in all their efforts for their wishes, but they were not stupid and had no interest in blindly rushing into a trap they knew was a trap.

Barbatos said calmly, "Trap? Such things are meaningless. No matter how many people they gather, they can only flee in panic when faced with me. All you need to do is survive until I arrive. Then everything will be over, completely over."

The Dark Knights reluctantly accepted this explanation, since Barbatos was their leader.

However, the Dark Knights believed that Barbatos's end meant that he would keep his promise to pull the Upper World into the Dark Multiverse, thus ending the battle in their victory.

But in reality, when Barbatos talks about the end, he means he will destroy the multiverse and bring everything there to an end.

This is also why Barbatos doesn't care about the superheroes' traps; destruction is much easier than creation. If he wanted to seize the multiverse, he would need a lot of time using the Multiverse Tower to achieve his goal.

But now he's planning to destroy the universe. Debugging a matter-antimatter bomb is much easier than moving the universe. Even if the Justice League had made preparations beforehand, they wouldn't have a chance to stop him.

"Alright, if you have no other questions, let's get going," Barbatos urged.

"Your will."

The Dark Knights bowed to Barbatos, then climbed to the top of the mountain and entered the pillar of light emitted by the Human Pillar Tower.

……

Multiverse, challenging mountains.

Six dark figures emerged from the mountainside.

"Watch out, they're coming," Superman warned his teammates.

The heroes quickly composed themselves, waiting for the opportune moment to arrive in peak fighting condition.

Because of Carl, they had already obtained information about the six Dark Batmen in advance, and had a preliminary understanding of their appearance, abilities, and even personalities.

However, when faced with the Dark Knights in person, most people couldn't help but feel a chill; the Dark Knights were even more twisted than they had imagined.

Just by looking at them, you would think these guys are terrifying, dangerous, weird, or even deformed; the negative energy they exude is almost tangible.

"This is a scene straight out of a nightmare." The speaker was a hero dressed entirely in silver with an atomic symbol pinned to his chest, Captain Atom.

His words reflected the thoughts of most of the heroes present. It was hard to imagine what kind of environment could give rise to such a creature. Of course, no matter how strange the enemy looked, the battle would not be affected.

Captain Atom pressed the microphone and gave the order to fire. Instantly, a large number of missiles flew in from the horizon.

Some of the turrets that launch these missiles are remnants of Batman's weapons in Gotham City, but most were provided by the human military.

This crisis was announced in advance, and the Justice League mobilized a large number of heroes, so the news could not be kept from the authorities.

The fact that superheroes always save the world gradually diminishes the credibility of the official channels, so after receiving advance notice, the official channels decided they had to get involved.

They understood that this crisis was beyond their control, but at least they had to show a proactive attitude to avoid being criticized by the public for inaction, for not taking any action when such a big thing happened, and for passively waiting for superheroes to step in.

So the authorities found Captain Atom, who had frequent contact with them, and provided him with a large amount of artillery support.

However, after giving the order, Captain Atom did nothing further, standing in the team and waiting to join the other heroes in the attack.

He didn't expect this bombing to have any effect at all; he was only doing it to allow the authorities to strike first and prevent villains like the Joker from using it for their own purposes, rather than expecting any real power from it.

As expected, the six Dark Batmen showed no sign of disorder; the one who looked like the Joker even gave a disdainful smile.

A red lightning bolt swiftly streaked across the sky, enveloping all the missiles like a giant net. Before most heroes could even react, it was all over.

All the missiles were either disassembled into parts or so old that they were completely unusable, and the red lightning net was not a net at all, but the trail that the Dark Batman, Red Death, had run through.

This probing attack could have been easily neutralized by Red Death alone.

Chapter 365 Red Death and the Flash

Barbatos possesses too much energy, and the existing channels are not yet sufficient to support his entry into the multiverse, so he needs the Dark Knights to expand the channels.

However, the Dark Knights don't need to do anything special; their mere existence will cause vulnerabilities in the multiverse, and if they were to become active and engage in combat, it would only accelerate this process.

"It's disgusting that a world full of light still clings to ridiculous hopes. Let us destroy it!"

Faced with hundreds of superheroes surrounding Challenge Mountain, the Dark Knights showed no panic and instead took the initiative to meet them.

Most of the Dark Knights here have experience wiping out Earth's heroes, and even the Dawn Lantern, the only one who hasn't faced a superhero, has a record of defeating the entire Green Lantern Corps single-handedly, so they are not afraid.

They didn't want to descend from here before because it would be foolish to deliberately step into a trap, but that doesn't mean they were afraid of the heroes' traps.

The battle was about to begin. The Dark Knights charged down from the mountainside, while the superheroes, led by the Justice League, attacked from the foot of the mountain.

Previously, in order to surround Challenge Mountain, which covers an area of ​​more than 800 square kilometers, the heroes were roughly divided into four battle groups. However, now that the Dark Knights have gathered together, only one battle group can join the battle immediately. This battle group is mainly composed of the Flash and relatively young heroes, including the Teen Titans.

Red Death and The Flash, each wielding red and yellow lightning respectively, first intertwined.

The two exchanged blows at a speed that was impossible for a normal person to see. The Flash was slightly at a disadvantage, but the Kid Flash came up to help, and the two were evenly matched.

This surprised Red Death. This Flash was much stronger than the one he had defeated in his own world. Even with the help of Kid the Flash, the Flash still had time to talk during the fight.

"Batman, and me from another world, you're in there, right? Why did you become like this? Wake up, okay?" The Flash said while fighting, "Although you're not the Batman I know, as Batmen, I know you must have similarities. Don't succumb to suffering. We can find a way to solve any difficulties together. Why did you have to choose this path?"

The Flash tried to awaken Red Death's conscience, and surprisingly, it actually had some effect.

Red Death has a peculiar obsession with The Flash. His initial goal was to use The Flash's abilities to become faster, fast enough to save the world. The idea was good, but the method was too radical, so the Flash in his world did not support him.

Red Death had initially hoped that the Flash would be more 'sensible' in this higher, more advanced world, but he was very disappointed.

This simple disappointment wouldn't normally have affected the battle, but the other personality within Red Death, the Flash from the Dark Universe, took advantage of the situation to cause trouble, forcing Red Death to divert some of his attention to suppress it.

Seeing that things were looking up, Flash and Kid Flash quickened their attacks. It was one thing to try to persuade them to surrender, but on the battlefield, they couldn't really hold back, or they might end up in the multiverse.

Red Death was overwhelmed in a two-on-one fight, but the speedster's mental speed allowed him to quickly suppress the Dark Flash's personality again, and with a shudder, he released a large number of Speed ​​Force bats.

These bats were extremely ferocious, seemingly alive as they pounced on the Speed ​​Force surrounding the Flash and Kid Flash, and began to devour them.

"Although I already knew beforehand, I was still quite amazed to see this way of absorbing the Speed ​​Force with the Speed ​​Force. How did he come up with this method?"

All the heroes had prior knowledge of the Dark Knights' basic intelligence, so the Flash and his companion retreated very quickly, shaking off the Speed ​​Force bats before suffering serious damage.

"Trying to escape? You can't run away. I have plenty of time to play with you, endless time," said the Crimson Death Demon.

The Flash began to run away while occasionally looking back, trying to break free from the Speed ​​Force bats, while Red Death relentlessly pursued him.

These bats are not real living beings, so they cannot be attacked by conventional means. To deal with them, you either have to ignore them like the Watchers do, or you have to use energy like the Speed ​​Force to break through their defenses.

The Flash and Kid Flash obviously could only use the latter method, so they kept adjusting their own frequencies, hoping to use a specific method to counteract the Speed ​​Force bats.

"Hmph, Barry, your understanding of the Speed ​​Force is still far too rudimentary!"

The Red Death Demon chased for a while, then suddenly withdrew all the bats and stopped.

Instead of chasing The Flash, he rushed towards the ruins at the foot of the mountain, where the buildings of Gotham City, which had been crushed by Challenge Mountain, were piled up, circling the mountain like a dam built from the ruins.

Red Death darts nimbly weaving through the crowd, and a few seconds later, before the heroes could even figure out what he was up to, Red Death darts reappeared on the battlefield.

But this time, the Red Deaths made their appearance in several imposing red Batmobiles.

Red Death sat in the lead car, followed by several other Batmobiles of the same model. In just a few seconds, he had assembled a convoy.

And what's most surprising is that the engines and tires of these Batmobiles are constantly wrapped in red lightning, clearly indicating that they are powered by the Speed ​​Force.

“In the past, it might have taken me months to build these cars, but now it only takes a few seconds. Barry, you can’t escape!”

"How is this possible? This is practically cheating!" Kid Lightning exclaimed in surprise, but he didn't have time to marvel at that moment because Red Death had already caught up in the Batmobile.

With the new tools, the Red Death is faster than before, and the Batmobile is equipped with various weapons, giving him more attack options and making him less vulnerable to being outmaneuvered like the Speed ​​Force Bat.

Of course, in terms of effectiveness, the Speed ​​Bat's attack is the most useful, as other weapons are easily dodged.
