20. The Dragon of Barbatos

In Cyber's world, Hawkman and his wife, Hawkgirl, are just two ordinary heroes of 10,000 heroes.

Their strength is average, they can fly, they can also use magic, the only thing that is more mysterious than other heroes is that they can be reincarnated infinitely, and their heads store the memories of every Hawkman, which makes their intelligence and combat experience unmatched, so in the world of Cyber, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are entrusted with the important task, they are the "gendarmes" of superheroes, managing a special force dedicated to monitoring superhero crimes.

But in this world, the story of Hawkman appears a little bit... Minor issues.

The beginning of civilization in this world was a war between the three tribes of birds, wolves and bears, and Hawkman, a member of the bird tribe, in the early era, he held a mace fused with N metal, and defeated the summoned evil god Barbatos with great courage, and sealed him in a mysterious way.

And this is the beginning of all destiny.

As described in many stories, evil is not really dead, in fact, the moment evil is sealed, the hero becomes the carrier of evil, and Hawkman is such a tragic character.

Because of the large amount of N metal incorporated into the body, he and his wife will not really die, every time they die, they will be reincarnated in a different identity, and it is quite legendary that no matter what era it is, they can find each other and love each other again...

So in fact, the two people of Hawkman and Hawkgirl represent the symbol of sincere love, in the Cyber universe, the energy source of the Purple Lantern Legion is sealed with a special crystal, which seals the remnants of Hawkman and Hawkgirl's reincarnation in a certain life.

The sensual daughters of love see this legendary couple as a symbol of love.

But in this world, every reincarnation of Hawkman will be accompanied by the expansion of the dark sound that permeates his heart, he has thought of many ways, but he can't completely eradicate it, he has this dark sound, from the beginning of confrontation, to ignorance, and finally to compromise.

Of course, he didn't see it as a compromise, he chose to really face it all, he entered the universe, followed the source of the dark sound, and finally saw his destiny.

As the saying goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss will look back at you.

Hawkman faces his own darkness, and it is not until the moment he really sees it that he has insight into his fate, his invincible will is easily broken, he falls into the darkness, he melts into the darkness, he becomes the gatekeeper of the darkness... He became the last hurdle for the heroes.

He became... Dragons of Barbatos!

"Ahhh

The ground under Batman's feet cracked and the terrible ground subsidence under the majesty, and the black Hell Bat Armor was amazingly powerful, and after a variety of divine powers, all the power of the entire Justice League were blessed on his body, turning him into a real war machine.

In the face of the Wanjun Warhammer smashed down by the Dragon of Barbatos, he did not dodge and confronted him head-on, with a warframe connected to the speed of the Divine Force, and the Green Lantern's elaborate cloak, allowing it to soar freely in the air.

"Bang"

Batman stabbed into the sky like a black sword, and he swung a punch, and a faint light flashed on the surface of the roaring Hell Bat Armor, like the main cannon of a space starship, and the punch easily broke through the space and smashed into the neck of the dragon of Barbatos.

"Bang"

The hard scales were completely torn apart by the blow, and the dark blood was sprinkled everywhere with the roar of the gatekeeper monster, and the blood fell to the ground, literally engulfing the alien warriors who were fighting on the surface of the scorching planet like hot and furious magma.

The dragon of Barbatos wielded the war hammer even more frantically in pain, it was like a moving disaster, the most terrifying thing was not its terrifying power, but the darkness attached to it, like a coordinate, everywhere it went, everything around it was swallowed up by darkness.

"All paths will eventually end in... Darkness!"

"Your resistance!"

"Nothing! meaning! righteousness!"

"Boom"

Nearly 100 meters tall war hammer wrapped in raging flames fell from the sky, black steel armor stood in place without dodging, every inch of metal shell, the divine power enchantment from the Olympic Mountain danced the most brilliant light, advancing Batman's power to a point that was unimaginable.

"Bang"

The ground beneath his feet was blasted into a depression like a meteorite landing in this blow, but in the radiation of his power, the ground did not crack, and the blow of the dragon of Barbatos was taken head-on by Batman.

He crossed his hands in front of him, like a strong man lifting weights, and held the silver-gray war hammer in his arms, and lifted it little by little.

"It's not our fate!"

Batman's voice through gritted teeth rang out: "It's not your fate!"

"Bang"

The huge war hammer was dragged from the dragon of Barbatos and thrown into the air by Batman, his body flew up from the ground like a phantom, the earth under his feet turned to dust at this moment, he flew into the air, the cloak behind his back was like a bat's wing, it spread out with a bang, making him hover in the sky, he held the terrifying weapon in both hands, he shouted:

"Carter Hall!

"Bang"

Like a battering ram, the two-handed warhammer spun around Batman's hand twice, and finally slammed into the chest of the dragon of Barbatos, the blow so powerful that it smashed the monster out of the air, like a collapsing mountain, and smashed into the scorching surface of the cosmic furnace.

"Whew... Whew!"

Batman landed on the ground, still panting even with the support of the Hell Bat Armor, and he looked at the fallen, struggling dragon of Barbatos, who shouted loudly in the communication:

"Brothers, victory is just around the corner!"

In an instant, the momentum of the civilization alliance of the entire universe became excited, but just as he dragged the giant warhammer upside down and walked towards the dragon of Barbatos, the figure of the laughing bat appeared again, he crouched on the belly of the dragon of Barbatos, he tilted his head, and looked at Batman in front of him like a dark nightmare.

"Yo! this outfit is really handsome... Look at it, the black divine metal, the hideous appearance, the shining speed of the light, and the lamp ring, and the dearest lady Diana has carved a wonderful enchantment for her lover, what a great weapon of war!"

"But if I were you, Bruce, I wouldn't have taken it in the first place!"

The rattling of the laughing maniacal maniac brought Bruce's footsteps to a halt, and then he heard the disgusting monster whisper:

"Amber gold, Bacchus gold, promethium, N metal... The four divine metals have gathered in your body, and the door is about to open, and seriously, my Mr. Bruce, are you really not curious, what is the last metal to gather the door key?"

"Click"

The shell of the black Hellbat Armor suddenly opened, and Bruce Wayne burst out of it with a beating heart, his face frightened, as if he was trying to escape some kind of nightmare, and when there was only one step left in this victory, he ran two steps and his body began to tremble and fell to his knees.

Behind him, the Laughing Bat opened its arms and shouted in a victorious voice:

"You made bat gold with your own hands, and you thought it could never be a dangerous item, but unfortunately, you made it yourself... The future of this universe is ruined! All paths will eventually lead to darkness... This is your fate, Bruce Wayne, don't run away from it... You can't escape!"

"Barbatos, Lord of the Dark Multiverse, Come, the door has opened, Come, Descend on this deplorable world!"

"Put out the light and spread the darkness!!"

The maniacal laughter of the Laughing Bat became the note of the end of the final battle, and the body of Bruce Wayne, who was originally regarded as the savior, was wrapped in a dark force that entwined the dead silence from all sides and suspended into the sky of the cosmic furnace, and the surging darkness rushed into his body from his mouth, his ears, and his nostrils, opening the doors in his body that had been silently activated.

A dark storm of stars slowly opened behind Bruce, and the midpoint of the dark vortex was dotted with a beating halo, like the first ray of light in the darkness, representing the edge of the creator of the universe, but unfortunately, this time... What he brings will never be a warm light again.

The world has reached the final turning point of fate, and no one knows whether it will exist or die.

And the gambling game, the gambling game of the upper world, has finally come to the most exciting, revealing moment!

"No !!"

—————————————————————————

"Ugh..."

Sitting on the throne of Gotham's lonely mountains, Cyber witnessed the scene of Bruce Wayne being engulfed in darkness, he shook his head, the snow and ice on his body were suddenly removed at this moment, he stretched out his left hand, the beating light formed a war scythe in his hand, he stood up from the throne, stared at the stars above his head.

"This weak world, no matter how much you resist, it will end up in this pitiful end... It's sad! Maybe I shouldn't have had any faith in you in the first place. ”

"Huh"

A red gate of time opened behind him, and a small lightning bolt with bruises rolled out of it, lying on the ground weakly, and beside him, was Wonder Woman Diana, who also couldn't hold on, at this time, Wonder Woman's body was covered with wounds, knife wounds, and scorched by energy holes, it was hard to imagine what kind of tragic battle would make this demigod daughter suffer such injuries.

She took a step forward, her body slumped limp, she supported herself with the blood-covered sword of the god, she looked up at the overlord with her back to them, she gritted her teeth, and threw the blood-filled pocket behind her at Cyber's feet.

"The heads of 12 parliamentarians... Not a bad one!"

"Help us!"

"Huh?"

Cyber turned and used the handle of his scythe to open the pocket, and out of it rolled out the heads of 12 hideous Kree people, inlaid with various ornaments representing their noble status.

"Maybe you didn't understand my conditions..."

Cyber crouched down in front of the exhausted Wonder Woman, he reached out and took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the blood from Diana's face, and he whispered:

"I'm saying that one of the 12 heads has to be cut off by Bruce's own hands... You see, you didn't do it, did you?"

"What does it matter!"

Barry, lying on his side, shouted in despair, "We killed them, we became criminals, we have broken our own rules, we have made a choice!

"No! not enough!"

Cyber's movements were still gentle, but the indifference in his eyes did not change, and he whispered, "Bruce is the key... He's the heart of the Justice League, isn't he?"

"Let's go, the game looks like it's going to be lost, it's time for me to do my thing, after you've drained some of Barbatos' power, I'll take my legion in, and I'll settle the last trouble..."

"Consumption, you're watching them die!"

Barry pounded the ground with his blood-soaked fists, his expression never more hideous: "Enough! Enough! You have the power to stop this! Stop this carnage! Why? Why !!"

"Winning at the lowest cost is a lesson that every leader must learn!"

Standing up, with his back to the two heroes, Cyber whispered, "As for your world... What does this have to do with me? Look, I'm not from this world..."

He smiled deeply:

"If you want me to save him... Come on, convince me... Convince me to save this world that has nothing to do with me, just as you tried to convince Manhattan... That time you failed, this time, maybe you will succeed?"

"You know what? Barry... I am full of resentment towards your world! I want to destroy it with my own hands! Because in this world, there is no my loved ones, no lovers, nothing I cherish, nothing... I have seen heroes sacrifice for you, and I have seen you still scattered after the disaster, and you have always fought on your own, fighting in a mess for the sake of the name of heroes!"

"You've never thought about the world... You never tried to make it better! You have no power, but you let the world slide into the abyss of badness, and your eyes are confined to this land, you know? I haven't even seen a single time when the life of the whole world unites to fight for it! Listen! The world is crying!"

"Barbatos sent out 7 juggres to make a mess of your world... Is it really necessary for such a world to exist? The more I know, the more I understand why Manhattan should look at everything in this world... Because, you don't deserve to be saved!!"

"You... Failed the world!"

"Puff"

The sound of kneeling on his knees stopped Cyber's angry catharsis at this moment, and he looked back to see Diana, who was the proudest, kneeling in the blood-stained snow with the most sincerity, and she whispered:

"I hate you, Seber Hawke, until now, I don't want to be in front of you if I could, I don't want to face you, because your presence makes us heroes feel defeated... But now, please, please save it, please save this universe!"

"Your vision is too high for us to understand, but... We are willing to give everything... Just save it, save our friends, save Bruce, please!"

"Ugh..."

Seber looked at her, looking at the proudest daughter of the Amazon and bowing her proud head, and he asked softly:

"You like him, don't you? You like Bruce... You're willing to give everything for him, even to the point of putting your hands full of blood for him, right?"

"Yes!"

"What a lucky guy... I'm starting to get jealous of him, my Diana, who won't sacrifice everything so thoroughly for me..."

Cyber snorted, and the scythe in his hand was raised high:

"Do you hear me, my legion, this world will be our territory, this universe will be our territory! Now... It's time to fight for our interests!"

"The Legion... Strike!"
