Chapter 22: Deathwing
In the safe house deep underground in the Pacific lead mine, Kewen's words were deafening, echoing in the safe house of Batman, not that he wanted to dominate the crowd, but that he was depressed when he read the injustice comics, and he happened to come to this injustice universe and saw the depravity of these former superheroes. Especially Superman, when he imposes his will on the world, he understands the horror of dictatorship, especially when this dictator has the power to destroy the planet.
Everyone has lost the right to freedom of speech, you can talk about the beauty of life, the prospect of the future, but you can't design the topic of politics and religion, because Superman believes that this is the source of chaos in the world, faith, the competition for resources between countries is the source of war, as long as no one continues to discuss these and argue about these, then the world will be at peace.
This is the will that Superman imposes on the world, and the terrible thing is that Superman has the ability to impose this will on the world. What Kewen can see, Batman can see, otherwise he wouldn't have fought Superman for five years, but just like Kewen said, this matter should have ended after the moment he killed the Joker, but Batman never thought about how to help his friends come out, but blamed each other and constantly deepened the contradictions, so that this matter continued to deteriorate to the current situation.
These are situations that Batman, as the authority, did not notice, and as a superhero on the side of the Batman camp, he just did not agree with the fact that Superman imposed his will on the world, and did not think about what the reason for the current situation was.
But Ke Wen revealed all the problems from the perspective of a bystander, "From the beginning of Superman's establishment of power to the present, have you really talked to Superman, your meeting is nothing more than your unilateral accusation that he has broken the bottom line, but you have not thought about it, he is not you, not everyone can still insist on themselves after your bad day, there is only one Batman, and there is only one Superman." When the situation gets more and more serious, and Superman is going to talk to you, what did you do, you released Superman's pigeons, and then went to release those super criminals to make trouble, how many losses were caused in the middle, how many innocent people will be implicated, have you counted all of this! โ
Every question hits Batman's heart, there are a lot of things in it, as Batgirl, Batwoman, and Catwoman on Batman's side, they can't say much, even if they know that Batman is really wrong to do this, but they can't think of a better way to stop the Superman regime's increasing domination of the world, so they can only let it go. But now, Cowen said everything they wanted to say, and every sentence was an ironclad fact, and Batman couldn't afford to make the slightest quibble.
Because what Batman did in the Injustice Universe is indeed a point that Ke Wen criticizes, even if his starting point is to find allies, but the Batman he knows will not gamble with the lives of civilians, he will beat those villain allies that he is sure to win over as soon as possible, and then talk away after being convinced, and then do things under his nose, so that he will not make such a big move like this Batman, and no matter who wins or loses, it will always be civilians who are injured.
was questioned by Ke Wen like a cannon, Batman also fell into a rare silence, he wanted to refute, but Ke Wen's words made him start to ask himself, yes, why didn't he pull his best friend in the first place, just because Superman killed the Joker, he also fell into extremism, blindly using Louise's death to stimulate him, but when it was time to talk about it, he released pigeons. Didn't let Superman come out of this tragedy, did he really do something wrong?
When this question appeared in the mind of Batman of the Injustice Universe, many of the questions that had been drilled before were also opened, and he recalled the bits and pieces of the continuous confrontation with Superman in the past five years, and he finally realized that he had made an irreparable mistake. Neither he nor Superman can go back to the past time and help each other, Superman's hands are covered with too much blood, and his position cannot be so easy to choose to forgive him.
"Has this ever happened to your superman in your universe?" After a long silence, Batman suddenly asked, with an indescribable tiredness in his words.
"Yes, more than once, like this one, Superman lost his child," Curvin said, gesturing to little Jonathan, who was still asleep on Helena's back.
"Then how did he get out?"
"He always kept in mind what kind of person he wanted to be, and when he was lost, the Batman of our world would rush straight to his house and pull him out of the mire." Staring at Batman's eyes looking at him, Ke Wen said without dodging.
"Really? Then I get it. โ
Without seeing a trace of wavering in Kewen's eyes, Batman understood that Kewen was not lying to himself, and he didn't continue to say more, turned around, and walked towards the room he was in, walking slowly. And for some reason, looking at Batman's back, everyone could feel that his figure was a little rickety, and when Batman closed the door, Batgirl and Batwoman were relieved, Batman's silent appearance just now really made them feel a lot of pressure.
"Thank you, even though you're from another universe, I really appreciate you helping us say what we've always wanted to say." Catwoman thanked Cowen, and then looked at Helena and Damian, the three little guys, obviously now Batman is a little autistic by Cowen, and is thinking about life, forgetting to arrange Cowen's residence, then this job will naturally fall to Catwoman, how to say that she is now a housewife. "Come on, I'll take you to where you live, and by the way, take a look at a few emergency passages, there are some things I want to ask you about clearly."
glanced at Helena, when the superhero huntress who had died in her own universe now reappeared in front of her with a new appearance and identity, it really made her feel a little emotional, of course, the mood was more complicated by the Batwoman next to her, she had a strong emotional foundation with the huntress of the injustice universe.
Following Catwoman, Damian and Helena walked up first, only to find that Curvin was still standing in place, and the bat girl on the side also asked with some curiosity, "Why don't you go?" โ
โยทยทยท My feet were a little soft, and I was afraid that I would fall to my knees as soon as I lifted my legs. Ke Wen, who was still in the limelight just now, broke the work in a second, and scolded Batman just now, but afterwards he realized that his feet were almost soft, and he just kept standing still and lasted there for so long.
"Then you were so full of aura just now." Bat Girl couldn't help but complain.
"It's cool to scold people for a while, but after the crematorium, don't talk about it, Damian, come and help me."
The image that Kewen had established before collapsed in front of everyone in an instant, and Damian on the side could only cover his face, walked over, and took Kewen's hand and walked towards the place where Catwoman brought them.
And just after Cowen and the others were arranged to live by Catwoman, Catwoman, Batgirl, and Batwoman directly rewind their age to eleven or twelve-year-old Damian, Helena, who appeared in another capacity, and little Jonathan, who finally woke up, stayed in the room. Two little Zhengtai and a little Lori, for them, they can definitely satisfy their maternal feelings, as for Kewen, after the image collapsed, he was kicked out and enjoyed the same treatment as Batman.
The difference is that Batman is autistic inside the room, and he is autistic outside.
And in Batman, a safe house built under the Pacific lead mine, a figure stood there, easily walked through the room, saw Batman meditating in his room, and began to think about how to really solve the problem of Superman, and also saw the other room, Catwoman and Damian and others from another universe playing, seeing the smiles on the faces of their friends and Catwoman, this figure couldn't help but be happy, especially seeing that Damian from another universe seemed to be doing very well.
Then he came out of the room, looked at Ke Wen, who was wandering around, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, hero from another universe." "His voice is loud, but he is not afraid to be heard, because he is now a dead man, a ghost, and the living cannot hear the ghost's thanks.
But this time he miscalculated, and Ke Wen, who was wandering around, suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked in his direction, and said with a sunny smile: "You're welcome, the partner of this universe." โ
Dick was taken aback by Curwen's sudden response, he was dead, having died in the Arkham turmoil in the first year of injustice because of Damian's mistake, and if it weren't for a halfway incident, he would have been a visitor to Hell by now. And taking over the mantle of a dead superhero through his soul, he also changed from Nightwing to Deathwing. In this battle between Batman and Superman, he can only passively act as a bystander, and even if he occasionally intervenes, he can not play much of a role.
But now, someone can see him, which makes Dick very happy, you know, even if he can exist in another life form now, but as a ghost wandering in the world, he is too lonely, he sees many things, but he can't say, even if he is possessed, it is a problem for him, he can't get close to Batman, he can't get close to him if he's too strong.
As the mysterious superhero on Batman's side withdrew from this battle between Superman and Batman, he didn't even have someone to talk to, and Cowen responded to him after he thanked him, which made him not happy.
"Looks like it's a bit of a hassle to chat like this, let's change the way." As a melee mage, although it is more common to enchant and slash people with weapons than to blast people with magic, there are still some basic skills, such as seeing ghosts, which is also one of the series of introductory magic books that Zatana threw to herself in that universe.
The magic array in his hand emitted light, filling the space, and Dick, who was originally unable to be seen by the world as a ghost, slowly appeared in the air. The blurred body is still the familiar blue-black uniform, but the logo on the chest that should be a flying eagle has been replaced with a capital D, and the tone of Dick's whole person has also changed from a similar holographic projection of the data portrait to a normal skin tone.
"Let's get to know me again, my name is Kewen, my English name is Kevin Ke, my superhero title is Kamen Rider, and I am your best partner and friend from another universe." Kewen stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Dick Grayson, it's nice to know that I have a good friend and partner like you in another universe." Seeing his body return to its original complexion, Dick also stretched out his hand to Curwen, two strangers from different universes, who were also the most familiar hands, clasped together in the air.
