"Buzz"

The altar in the darkness was repaired and activated again, and with enough youkai souls to drive it, the thing began to try to tear through the space again, but after a short run of more than ten seconds, the dark red energy above the altar suddenly retracted, and it became calm again.

Professor Hawkins and Dr. Ethan's faces were a little dark, but they still stepped forward with their respective assistants to collect data from the experiment.

"Failed again..."

Batman looked at the scene in front of him, under the black mask, a trace of undisguised disappointment flashed in his eyes, and beside him, Cyber, who was wearing a trench coat, was on a sheathed long knife, and sighed in the same way:

"It seems that the space of the present world has been inflicted with something that we don't know about, and it can't be broken through the space with the previous method, damn it. ”

"There's always a way. ”

Batman clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "We're not going to just be stuck here and die..."

It seems to be comforting Cyber, but it's more like cheering himself up, and apparently, after 27 days of trying and reaping many failures, even Batman feels a hint of despair.

The entire city as a whole was thrown into the rift of the Demon Realm, the safety range of the city was shrinking every day, and the monsters of the Demon Realm were planning a counterattack every day, although under the temporary rule of the Devil Gang, the order of the city had not collapsed, but to be honest, with the hope of getting out of trouble getting smaller and smaller, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed completely.

"The city's supplies have been counted. ”

Saibo sat on the chair, stroked the hilt of the knife, and whispered, "At the current rate of consumption, it will last for half a year at most... I'm going to send someone to clean up the black market today. ”

"Doing so will destabilize the city..."

Batman thought for a moment and replied, "The existence of the black market has the effect of stabilizing people's hearts, which is what we discussed at the time. ”

"But I didn't allow them to buy and sell subsistence supplies privately!"

There was a hint of indifference in Cyber's voice: "I gave them enough ammunition to arm, and I asked them to drive those who eat and wait to die, so that every ounce of the city's strength can be used in the right way! Swan told me that the prisoners used supplies to lure women into perverse trades, and at this time, I wanted to make the kids pick up their guns, how could I allow that to happen!"

"They have to transfer all the survival supplies they have to the Devils, so that at least the city can last a little longer... Speaking of which, don't you really care about the guys who are going around recruiting in your name?"

Cyber raised his head and looked at Batman, a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"The bats will... Hehe, they really know how to come up with names. ”

"Forget it, the city needs these forces at the moment, and they're doing a good job in the eastern part of the city. ”

Batman took off his mask a little tiredly, he leaned back in his chair, and said like a dream: "If in my name can really make more ordinary people become warriors who can protect themselves, then let them go, it's just a name." ”

The conversation between the two ended there, and the rest of the time was silent, as the titular leader of the city, the two of them were under a lot of pressure, Cyber needed to find a way to live for his brother and relatives, he could selfishly abandon the city, but Batman couldn't.

This man gave everything to Gotham, and he couldn't allow the city he was protecting to be like this... Destroy it.

"The Joker's side has collected enough youkai corpses... It is used to resurrect dead souls in place of mortal bodies. ”

Cyber lit a cigar, which was a rare pleasure in today's city, and he threw one to Batman, who lit it silently, and he also needed to release the pressure, and he listened to Cyber in silence, which was a brutal action:

"I don't know if ordinary people can accept themselves resurrected in another form, but in its current form, we need more people to regain control of the city!"

Cyber's fingers tapped on the table, and a dim glint flashed in his narrowed eyes:

"I want to completely turn Gotham into a magical floating city, Sim's demon mages have this knowledge, for this reason, we have to take the initiative to cut off the weathered buildings on the periphery of the city, and turn it into two-thirds of the original volume, and according to the calculations of those demon mages, if this project is to be completed within 1 month, we need at least 200 people to act together, plus the warriors who resist the monster invasion, on the basis of the current population, I need to resurrect at least 60 people from the clown!"

"It's going to be a brutal process, and it reminds me of stories from the Middle Ages. ”

Batman was silent for several minutes before he spoke, "But if it's to save more lives, I'm willing to do it!"

"Well, don't keep a calm face. ”

Cyber breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is actually not a bad thing, Bruce, resurrect with the body of a monster, the physical quality of those ordinary people exceeds that of human bodies, and their bodies will not be any different from other human bodies, as long as they can be accepted by order again, there will be no chaos, and this, you need to adjust, my people will cooperate with you." ”

"Wait"

Bruce Wayne knocked on the table, and he looked at Cyber, "Why me?"

"Because... I'm going to find another way. ”

Cyber took a puff on his cigarette, and he said in a tone of solitude:

"Now this road doesn't work, I suspect that the cosmic cube on the other side of the world has blocked the space, I have to find a way to go back to where to get rid of it, I don't know how long this process will take, but after I leave, this city can only be handed over to you, Oliver's character is not suitable for managing the city, including my relatives, my brother, I can only ask you." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Bruce asked in a deep voice, "You already have a way?"

"Yes. ”

Cyber nodded:

"Sim told me that when the wind of the void blows through the city at a fixed moment every day, the barrier of space will be weakened, and it will only be a few minutes, and I can be summoned to hell by it in reverse through that point in time, and then find a way back to this world from the rift between hell and the present world, that is difficult, the lord of hell will not allow me to pass easily, especially after I killed Lucifer's human clone and helped the ancient one imprison Mephisto, every devil and demon in hell will try to kill me. ”

He moved his fists and fingers, took a vial, glowing purple reagent from his bosom, and placed it in front of Bruce's eyes:

"I'm not even sure I'll be able to get to this world safely, but I can't let Catherine and Selena survive in this hell, I have to set foot on this path and kill every creature in my way, this news must be blocked, and after I'm gone, you need enough strength to continue to control the city!"

Bruce, I know you don't want to be a monster, you don't want to make a deal with demons, but you want to take control of a city that's destined to become more and more dangerous... You have to be stronger!"

Cyber's tone was sonorous: "98% concentration of the Desperate Virus, it will make you an undead Batman, with your Fenrir armor, until I find a way, you will be the king of Gotham!"

"You must also become the king of Gotham!"

He looked at Bruce Wayne and said in a deep voice:

"There is a cruel fate in front of you, I don't want to question you which is more important, your bottom line or your people, and I won't force you to make a decision with high-sounding words, Wayne, if you don't, I'll let Catherine take it over, but what that girl will do, I can't imagine, I trust you more than her, at least, you've seen the darkest things in the world, and you know how to deal with them. ”

"In this city, you... is the most suitable. ”

"I..."

Bruce stood up, he walked to the window, he smoked his cigar, like a silent shadow in the darkness, he was thinking.

Cyberman's suggestion is undoubtedly a challenge to his bottom line, but it is not the same as the coercion of the previous ninja masters, doing the same thing in the name of justice and the order of evil, for an existence like Batman, are two completely different concepts, although he is well aware that Cyber's conversation this time is completely true, without any hypocrisy in it, but it is still a difficult decision.

Under this difficult decision, Cyber was not in a hurry, he left Bruce enough time to think, until ten minutes later, Batman turned around, and he looked at Cyber:

"Are you really willing to give anything for this city, even if it's death?"

"No, I don't want to!"

Cyber replied without hesitation: "If I could, I would not hesitate to abandon Gotham and leave with my brothers and relatives, but now that I'm trapped in it, I have to do it, it's as simple as that, if you think I'm sacrificing for the city, go with you, besides, watch out for the Joker, I don't understand this guy's recent moves... He said he had been caught by the Shadow Warrior very early, I didn't believe it! ”

"But no matter what, you made a sacrifice, and the reason doesn't matter. ”

He walked over, put on his visor, and then reached out to hold the purple potion in his hand, he looked at Cyber, took a deep breath, and spoke:

"Where's the contract?"

"What?"

Cyber looked at Bruce suspiciously, and the latter snorted: "The kind of contract used by the Devil Gang, you're right, I need strength in the face of this terrible situation." ”

He looked at Cyber with wide eyes, and he shook his head:

"If even a villain is willing to sacrifice everything to save the city, then there's no reason for me to refuse to make the same sacrifice, this is your city, but it's also... My city, if I don't fight for it, who will?"

A smile flashed in his eyes:

"Don't tell me you're going to give me a terrible demon assistant..."

"Hahahaha!"

Saiboha stood up with a smile, he took out a crystal clear, fist-sized, suspended soul stone like a spiked heart from his sandalwood fan, just holding it in the air, you can hear the angry and unyielding crazy roar of the soul in it, it is simply terrifying.

"It's been ready for you for a long time... Soul of the Dragon King, Lord of the Heavens of Hell, poisonous wings of shadow and death, come, take your crown, Child of Destiny of Gotham, and make a pact with it..."

In the pale light of the soul stone in his hand, the evil smile on Cyber's face was unmistakable, and he whispered:

"And then become... The Bat Lord who rules Gotham!"

Batman took a deep breath, he looked at the soul stone suspended in the air, he reached out and held it in his hand, his voice surged in the darkness, like a nightmare:

"So... Allow me to be king!"

————————

Three days later, somewhere in hell, on the earth covered with ash and dust, a sudden storm suddenly rolled up, rolling up the thick rust-colored dust on the ground, revealing a hideous earth covered with white broken bones, and the space was shaking, as if a giant beast was about to tear open the space and descend on this ancient ominous land.

Black lightning fell from the sky, tearing everything on the ground apart, like a hellish version of the end of the world, farther away, the Berserker Demon Sim Lord, who occupied a large territory on the edge of hell, commanded his most elite demon army, quietly waiting on the white bone mountain peak farther away, even it, unwilling to enter this spatial chaos land.

To be honest, no one can say if Cyber can survive the rift storm between the two worlds, no matter how strong his self-healing ability is, it is difficult to say whether he can survive in the face of the extremely sharp spatial rift.

Sim was also beating a drum in his heart, and if Cyber burped, he would also be martyred, and he couldn't help but glance back at his strong army.

"Alas... This is my territory and my warriors..."

Before the words fell, an embarrassed figure was thrown out of the spatial rift, and Cyber's whole body was cut out of the terrible wounds by the sharp spatial rift, his left arm and legs were gone, and his whole body was covered with burn scars, but fortunately, he survived, and when he smashed down the ground that had been completely destroyed, he began to regenerate rapidly.

The venom lying on his shoulder gurgled twice and quickly covered his body, reassembling a suit of Cyber's favorite black trench coat and casual suit.

As he got up, Sim flapped his wings and landed in front of his eyes, blowing the rust-colored dust off the ground, and the dragon humbly bowed his head and said to Cyber:

"Welcome to your other kingdom... Hell is waiting for you to conquer, Cyber!"

In the face of this domineering invitation, Cyber patted the dust on his body, held the scabbard of the Tenggu Sword in his left hand, looked left and right, and snorted:

"No, I'm not available! I'm busy!"
