Chapter 210: Surrender

The strategic goal of Barbatos's Dark Knights to invade the cannon fodder parallel universe is not to completely destroy the universe, the destroyed universe has no value, if the Dark Knights regard the destruction of the universe as a combat goal, then it is better not to invade, and it is a waste of time.

The birth, restart, and destruction of parallel universes are like boiling bubbles in Coke, with ups and downs occurring at any time and bursting at any time, and the cycle is endless.

What can be grasped and generated value is the time period when the bubbles exist, and strive to squeeze more energy that is beneficial to the divine power of Barbatos during this time.

For Barbatos, the god of fear, this energy is the emotion of "fear", and the specific way to extract this emotion is to build the temple of Barbatos, which is what the laughing bat calls the Tower of Fear.

The tower's outer walls are strewn with blades and chains, binding the living beings to a slow death in despair, and the fears they generate are sacrificed to Barbatos as a source of his great power.

Countless alternate universes of Earth conquered by the Dark Knights have chosen to succumb and build the Tower of Dread on the surface, and the rulers have directed their minions to hang the Tower of Dread as a coal consumption in the Dread Furnace, and exchange the purest fear condensed by the despair of the sacrificed people before their death.

Due to the countless invasions that have been carried out, the Dark Knights are extremely skilled in their business, and their way to intimidate the rulers of the earth is to first thunder and kill all the superheroes in the current universe who can fight against them, and show their corpses to the mortal authorities, clearly telling these rulers that they have nothing to rely on, no one will come to save them, and the power that the Dark Knights have can easily crush a planet.

Mortal rulers who have no choice but to face a choice, either all of humanity will die together and the earth will be blown into dust, or a large part of the population will be sacrificed and the other small part will submit and survive.

Although the Dark Knights are strong in combat, they can't use coolies to move bricks to build the Tower of Fear, and then go to capture the living one by one and hang them up, so using intimidation and force to deter and control the leadership class, forcing the rulers of the universe to consciously build towers to capture people, and complete the sacrifice to the god of fear for them, is the right way to conquer.

The spirit of preferring to be broken rather than complete is precious, but this is not in line with the instinct of biological reproduction and continuation of the race, no defeated country in human history has chosen to commit suicide to face defeat, even if it becomes a slave, even if it loses hope for the future, as long as it can survive, surrender is not an unacceptable option.

It is by taking advantage of the weakness of human cowardice that the Dark Knights have conquered parallel universes in this way, incorporated them into the sphere of influence of the dark multiverse, built countless towers of fear in those universes that surrendered, and sacrificed countless lives, and the despair and fear of these creatures before death provided Barbatos to strengthen his divine power.

After the laughing bat descended on this multiverse, he found that the Batman of this universe was actually elected president, and he wanted to develop this very unique presidential version of Batman into a member of the Dark Knights, but he fell short at the last moment, and as a remedy, he wanted to make the cruel knight who looked most like the original Batman a stand-in, but he was resolved by Damian inciting Arkham prisoners to storm Wayne Manor, so he simply stopped conspiring and directly crushed with absolute strength.

In the eyes of the Dark Knights, the current multiverse is just one of countless conquered parallel universes of cannon fodder, there is no need to waste too much time here, under absolute power, any scheme is meaningless.

The parallel universe that really threatens Barbatos and needs to be taken seriously is a parallel universe with "metal", but there is no "metal" in the cannon fodder universe where Damien descended, so it did not attract the attention of the Dark Knights.

Damian is not a first-line superhero, the original template is the same as Adou who can't be supported in an infinite number of parallel universes, and when he almost saves the universe alone, when he defeats a strong enemy, he either hugs his father's thigh or hugs the thigh of a raven, and he also doesn't attract the attention of the Dark Knights, and I don't think there is anything surprising about Damien in this cannon fodder universe.

Barbatos is afraid of the plot kill props and key protagonists, if a map does not have this prop, and there is no key protagonist, then he and his minions are equivalent to invincible existence, so why bother with more brains, waste energy to make plans, and run over with absolute strength.

……

The live broadcast showed the heads of the five core members of the Justice League, and at first the leaders and the public who watched the live broadcast refused to believe it, thinking that it was just using realistic props to intimidate, but the reaction of the famous journalist Louise reversed the audience's mind.

The romance between Louise and Superman is no secret, Superman and Wonder Woman hooked up after the two broke up, and the media also reported it so much that the identity of Louise Superman's ex-girlfriend was known.

If anyone could testify that the head was Superman, Louise was undoubtedly the most credible witness, and her expression of grief and horror did not look like a fake, and it was clear that she would only react if the head was actually cut off from Superman's body.

For a while, the global audience had a sense of foreboding that a catastrophe was coming, and there were bursts of fear and helplessness in their hearts, although the people of the DC universe have experienced many crises of annihilation, and there have been many times when they feel really hopeless, but every time the superheroes have not died, as long as the superheroes are not dead, there is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts to be rescued.

But this time, the crisis has just begun, the five most famous, most influential, most trustworthy and relied on superheroes in the world have all died, and the remaining superheroes have not appeared, it can be said that life and death are uncertain, mortals who have lost superheroes have no capital to fight against the forces of evil, and there is really no hope at all.

Just when the audience was frightened, suddenly the program screen switched, and the live news broadcast was inserted into the temporary broadcast by the government of the desired country, and the host announced to the audience with a little expectation that the vice president of the hope country who would temporarily take over the power of President Wayne was going to make a public speech.

Generally speaking, in such a crisis, the head of government comes forward to give an impromptu speech to inspire the people, issue a solemn warning to the aggressor, and express the determination of the whole country to fight the crisis together.

The live broadcast screen switched, but people saw the vice president sitting at his desk with a blue nose and swollen face, the wall behind the desk was covered with blood, and the stumps and rotten flesh were scattered around the desk.

The veteran politician, who usually looked gentle and elegant, trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Citizens, I ...... We failed, the Justice League core was killed in battle, Captain Atom, the last hope of the Hope Nation military, blew himself up, the Hall of Justice was destroyed, the Watchtower satellites were thrown into the sun, and Washington was occupied by enemy forces...... All of Hope's military bases were destroyed overnight, and we had no choice but to continue to resist and we would all be killed...... Therefore...... I declare...... Hope for the surrender ......"
