Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Ten thousand years later, during Belial's unsealing, the entire main universe of the Land of Light had been completely purged, and even the Dark Nebula, the gathering point of darkness, had been destroyed.

Since that time, the entire main universe of the Land of Light has entered a long period of peace, and no new crises have emerged.

This is why, after Belial was unsealed and Zero debuted, the Land of Light was constantly dispatching officers to other universes. With their manpower freed up and their own universe at peace, they naturally had time to deal with the affairs of other universes.

After that, the so-called crises were actually mostly caused by the Land of Light taking the initiative to meddle, expand its police coverage, and actively seek out evil beings from other universes.

Furthermore, as the Land of Light expands its influence, more and more universes are becoming more peaceful, with fewer crises.

This is a normal trend.

The reason why people can still see all kinds of crises is because the Land of Light is actively expanding, rather than eliminating old crises and then automatically refreshing them, creating new crises.

The DC universe is different. Here, even if a superhero on Earth completely eliminates all crises, a new local crisis will immediately appear on the same spot the next day.

After you eliminate this local crisis, an even more powerful new local supervillain will spawn the day after tomorrow, seemingly out of nowhere.

This is an unsolvable underlying logic; superheroes will always be running around in circles.

Fortunately.

Thankfully, thankfully, Bruce was more overjoyed than ever to have met Kassadin.

That great battle involving all members of the Ultra Force, that battle where all Ultramen activated their Shining Forms, was incredibly intense—no, perhaps it wasn't just a matter of intensity.

The countless Ultraman, embodying the radiant hope and miracles, utterly destroyed the seven crisis forces that even the Hand of Creation could not destroy, and caused the seven anti-crisis forces to cease their exhalation and stress response, thus falling into an eternal slumber.

Three months.

Now, three months have passed.

During these three months, he maintained close contact with the Justice League and Batman from other worlds, and finally made a definitive judgment, confirming a fundamental fact.

In these three months, amidst the countless superheroes and supervillains of the past, not a single new character has appeared.

Yes, after losing the ability to create and counter-create crises, there are no new superheroes or supervillains that could be easily created with a simple experiment or any event before.

Back then, it was a time when someone who should have been electrocuted could become a supervillain.

The world has finally returned to normal. Things with a probability of almost zero have become things with a real probability of almost zero, instead of things that are theoretically zero but actually have a 100% probability.

Of course, although the seven crisis forces are gone and the seven anti-crisis forces are also gone, this is still a supernatural world with super high magic and super high martial arts, so it is certain that new supernatural beings will appear in the future.

However, the frequency will definitely return to normal, and that's enough.

Most importantly, this frequency has proven that there will definitely never be a new local crisis that refreshes from the same spot again.

It is precisely because he has confirmed this that Bruce is standing here now, on this stage, in front of everyone in Gotham, revealing his identity.

—Although this was a last resort.

After that great battle ended, people from other places had already sent DC comics to the locals.

Besides, even if no one publishes comics, among so many Batman universes, there's bound to be one that's already been revealed in this universe.

After the war, all the parallel worlds maintained a high level of cooperation and communication. So, if one world was exposed, it would naturally become known to the others as well.

During these three months, Bruce, as one of the heads of the DC brain, worked with Luthor to handle the endless cleanup.

Fortunately, there are as many Batman + Lex Luthor characters as there are worlds on their side, so they can help each other share the workload and intensity of their duties. This makes their situation much more comfortable than that of Mefilas, the little cousin of the Land of Light, and the Chebulians in the main universe.

Just like now.

After three busy months, although there are still many things to deal with, at least he can take a break and catch his breath before appearing here as a witness to the execution of clowns from various worlds.

"Everyone."

Bruce took a deep breath, raised one hand, and pressed it down, signaling the audience to be quiet.

After a brief moment of cheering, the Gotham citizens in the audience chose to obey Batman's orders. Although they were still excited, they gave him face and gradually quieted down.

Bruce quietly observed the audience below the stage. After a long while, in a slightly hoarse and husky voice, without a prepared script or pre-planned words, he simply followed his heart and spoke openly, according to his feelings:

“At first, I was Bruce Wayne, and in that alley, I lost my parents.”

"Then I am Batman. I know the downsides of Gotham. I know that millions of Gotham residents have lost their parents. I know what I should live for and what I should fight for."

"But neither the little boy crying in the alley nor the bat fighting in the night can save Gotham, can save the world, or truly save everything."

"I was supposed to be doing some useless work alone until I could no longer fight and died tragically in some battle."

"But in my life, the only time I was lucky, and I must admit it, was because of this one stroke of luck that I was finally able to become a happy person, because I met him, I met Ultraman, I met Ultraman Kasa from the Land of Light."

"I think I should thank the Ultra Multiverse, and all the outsiders like Shinji Ikari who fought for our world. They are our light. But everyone has already publicly thanked them countless times in the past three months, so I won't talk about that today."

"Fellow countrymen, I hate this city, I hate Gotham. It's a demonic place that took everything from me."

"But if I had a choice, I would still choose to be born here, even if it comes at a terrible price, because I hate this place, but I love it more. I love Gotham, and I love everyone in Gotham."

At this point, Bruce paused for a moment.

He looked at the clown, who was pressed onto the execution platform, his mouth stuffed with a rag, taped shut, and silenced by magic and other supernatural powers, and who was now unable to move.

There are many clowns because all the evil clowns have been brought here.

The real protagonists of today's story, the criminals to be executed, are the most despicable, the most evil, and the most hopeless people in the entire DC universe.

"Except for the Joker, of course."

what!

A burst of loud laughter erupted from the audience, rising and falling in waves.

Of course, everyone knows how much Batman hates the Joker, even though it's the most classic antagonistic pairing, but Batman isn't a yaoi fangirl.

And it's not just Batman; in Gotham, even major villains like Deathstroke, Bane, and the Penguin all deeply hate the Joker.

Everyone just wanted him dead.

Unfortunately, due to the existence of the seven Crisis Forces, even if Batman were to kill the Joker, his death would only bring greater crisis to Batman and Gotham.

But now, everything is different.

Without the added boost of the Crisis Force, and after being thoroughly examined by the meticulous Batman and Luthor, and restrained by countless supernatural powers, although the Joker remains one of the smartest people in the world, with unparalleled wisdom, he still has no chance of turning the tide.

He can no longer escape, no longer be resurrected, no longer bewitch people, and even in death he can no longer bring new crises.

In Gotham, or rather, in the entire DC universe, people can finally escape this lingering nightmare.

“I once thought I would always be a source of fear in the darkness, but today, I will begin to take off the bat mask and assume the role of Bruce Wayne as the new director of Gotham.”

"At this moment, with the Court of Owls completely purged and the Joker about to be executed, I, in the triple name of Batman, Bruce Wayne, and a friend of Casa, inform all the citizens of Gotham without any linguistic embellishment."

"From today onward, I will be with you, with everyone, truly and genuinely, no more wasted effort, working hand in hand, side by side, to make this city—"

"Not just our Gotham, but all Gothams in the world, may be rid of all nightmares and become, like other cities, a peaceful, beautiful, and tranquil place where no one has to fear anything anymore!"

Without any pre-planned speech, the entire speech came from the heart, and there was no longer any extreme awkwardness about appearing in front of everyone without wearing a mask after being exposed as Batman.

Bruce Wayne, fully immersed in his role as Batman, raises his arms and shouts!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

"Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman!"

"Bruce, Bruce, Bruce!"

"For Gotham! For Gotham!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The wailing and howling of ghosts and wolves.

Although the local residents of Gotham had already begun to enjoy a better life since Kassadin first came and Luther took office.

But they still felt that the Joker could reappear at any time, they were still uneasy, and they still felt that a new crisis could arise at any moment.

But things are different now, really different.

Moreover, while Ultraman Kasa is good, they respect and admire him, and they also respect and worship President Luther.

But for the people of Gotham, the best thing is still Batman, still Batman!

Batman is still the most indispensable figure in Gotham!

Seeing the enthusiasm of the Gotham citizens, Bruce, who had been through so many ups and downs, couldn't help but feel his eyes well up with tears. Fortunately, he managed to hold back and didn't choke up.

He waved his hand, activating the mechanism: "Now, carry out the execution!"

Click!

The mechanism was activated, and the Jokers from various parallel worlds died completely, their eyes bloodshot with resentment. Their resentment wasn't due to fear of death, but because they couldn't have a grand fireworks display before they died, and they couldn't continue playing games with Batman.

But Batman never wanted to play games with the Joker, and the people of Gotham never wanted to see his fireworks.

The Joker, whom nobody cared about, the most notorious and legendary villain in countless multiverses and even the omnipotent universe, has come to an end.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The audience wasn't just comprised of long-time Gotham residents; there were other people as well.

And within it, it seems, appears, might, perhaps?

Could there be a guy hiding somewhere, perhaps swept in from elsewhere by a time-space turbulence, who hasn't debuted yet, and has a spider costume in his backpack, looking like a super nice neighbor?

Book 1: 51. God versus humanity, the advantage lies with me!

51. God has the upper hand over humanity!

"I bet five hundred thousand, I bet five hundred thousand, Adam will definitely be among the human side!"

"Yes, yes, he is our ancestor! At this critical moment of life and death for humanity, our ancestor, the origin of all humanity, will surely stand on our side!"

"He is our father, the father of all mankind!"

"Then I'll bet on either Lü Bu or Xiang Yu, the strongest warrior and general in human history. There's definitely one of them, otherwise, humanity would have no hope at all!"

"Get lost! Two? You're betting on two at the same time? Why don't you just guess that every hero in the world has a chance of appearing? This is just messing around, get out of here! You have absolutely no sincerity!"

"It's not interesting to just guess about the human side. I'll start a betting pool and think about which deity will be on the divine side?"

"There's no need to guess, there must be supreme gods from various mythological systems: the Indian Trinity, the Christian God, the Buddhist Buddha, Zeus and Odin, Allah and Juanah, these supreme gods definitely exist. Just if each system has one or two supreme gods, wouldn't all the positions already be filled?"

"No, no, no, that's too terrifying. Just think about it, if we were to face those supreme gods, even if all the human heroes joined forces to attack, they wouldn't have the slightest chance!"

"Yes, yes, since the gods are still willing to give us a chance and hold this one-on-one competition, maybe they have opened their hearts to compassion and have mercy!"
