"Buzz"

As the long-range space jump ended, a black bat-shaped spaceship silently appeared in the center of the universe, and a huge golden rock was suspended in the vast sea of stars.

It is the Rock of Eternity, a mysterious rock that is said to have lasted from the dawn of the universe to the present, and its owner was originally a mysterious and powerful wizard who called himself Shazam, but unfortunately it is no longer missing.

"I tracked the remnants of the killing machine's signal, and the last time he was seen, it was here!"

Batman, who had changed into a spacewalking suit, said to Wonder Woman next to him, "You stay here, I'll take a look!"

"Come on, Bruce, this is not the time to show your gentlemanly demeanor..."

Wonder Woman opened the hatch without hesitation, jumped up from her seat, and rushed to the Rock of Eternity, her demigod body was enough for her to survive in the vacuum of the universe, Batman shook his head and quickly followed.

"Look, the gate has been destroyed!"

Wonder Woman pointed to the door of the shattered Eternal Rock and said to Batman behind him, "We're late!"

"Let's go inside!"

Batman's figure turned into a black shadow on the Eternal Rock, and quickly rushed into it, through the long corridor, and they came to the core of the Eternal Rock, where they saw a ruined palace, the remains of the destroyed Guardian scattered everywhere, and it was clear that there had been a massacre here.

"This!"

Wonder Woman quickly rummaged through the ruins, and after a few minutes, she found a small piece of metal fragments in the Guardian's shattered chest, surging with amber light, and said to Batman behind her:

"They're here for this!"

"N Metal!"

Batman recognized this thing at the first moment, it was exactly the same thing as recorded in Carter Hall's diary, he subconsciously reached out and took the thumb-sized N metal in his hand, but the next moment, the extremely hard metal in Wonder Woman's hand, as if it had suddenly melted, followed his black tactical gloves and melted into his skin, like a scorching flame, seeping into his body.

"Ahh

Batman pinched his right hand with his left hand, his whole body trembling wildly in the violent burns, he knelt on the ground, gulping for breath, his eyes flickered, and in a trance he seemed to see an infinite dark universe, and the dark figure floating above the dark universe.

The figure was rapidly approaching him, and reached out in a haze that seemed to drain his soul.

"No!no!!"

"Bruce, Bruce, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this scene, Wonder Woman hurriedly rushed forward and held the trembling Batman in his arms, the latter's body twitched nervously, as if it was an electric shock, and said intermittently:

"The carriage... Door... This is... This is the fourth block... The fourth piece of metal... We... We made a mistake!"

"Terrible... Terrible mistake..."

On the other side, at the edge of a special space-time in the endless starry sky, Superman and Green Lantern, who were hiding in the shadow of the planet, clearly saw the busy figures on the super fireball in the distance, which was nearly a hundred times larger than the sun.

And that originally bright cosmic furnace, supported by thousands of lives, is now like annealed metal, and has begun to shine with dark red spots.

"Sure enough, it's them!"

Clark clenched his fists: "They're extinguishing the furnace!

"Don't be impulsive!

Hal grabbed Superman, who was about to rush out, and whispered, "Go back first, gather the others... It's just the two of us, not their opponents!"

——————————————————————————

Earth, Gotham, above the lonely mountain in the heart of the city.

Cyber is flipping through Carter Hall's diary, which he got from Bruce, and he doesn't know where Batman got it, which is a complete record of the inner experience of Carter Hall, the reincarnated Eagle Man for thousands of years.

Cyber didn't care about the stories of Hawkman's heroes, what he really valued was the dark voice that grew hungrier and hungrier in his soul in almost every article in Hawkman's diary.

He said:

"Ever since I became the hero who saved the world, after I defeated the terrible Barbatos, that voice has silently echoed in my heart, every day, every month, every year, it has not weakened, but has become clearer and clearer with the passage of time..."

"It proclaims to me the existence of the dark world, instills in me the knowledge of dark taboos... It tells me that I have some terrible mission... My life and the meaning of my existence are dominated, like a baton that exists in the dark, and I can only live according to its needs... After thinking about it, I was stunned to realize that maybe I didn't defeat it at the beginning, but it just wanted to hide its existence in this way..."

"Unfortunately, I was tricked, and besides, I found out too late..."

"I have to pursue this mission, in my past experience I was not a very successful hero, but maybe I can be a detective of destiny... I'm going to find it, I'm going to see this dark mission with my own eyes... If I could, I'd beat it!"

Cyber savored the words over and over again, and in these intermittent, even insane records, he could feel Carter Hall's desperate thoughts, and at the end of the story, Carter Hall, oppressed by the sound of darkness, made a choice to face his fate, and seemed to be very brave.

"But in reality, you're still crushed by the darkness... You've fallen into the darkness..."

Seber shook his head, he didn't care about what happened to Hawkman, obviously, just like Bruce Wayne, Carter Hall also had some dark plans about Barbatos, and he was an important part.

And now, when the mystery is about to be revealed, he will also be a wall in front of Cyber.

"Buzz"

A strange wind blew softly in the stone palace of Cyber, the overlord's brow furrowed, he put down the notebook in his hand, looked up at the empty hall in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"What are you doing here? Barry, are you here to surrender to the Overlord?"

No one spoke, no one answered, as if there was really nothing there... After a few seconds, Cyber became impatient, his fingers moving, threatening:

"Did you come out on your own, or did I pull you out?"

"You have to make sure you don't beat me!"

Barry's voice rang out in the air, and the strange words made Cyber laugh dumbly, but the next moment, his voice became fierce again:

"If you don't come out again, I'll beat you up right now!"

"Huh"

Barry, dressed in a red suit, appeared on the chair in front of Cyber, holding an apple that had just come from Gotham's market, looking relaxed, but Cyber clearly felt a hint of fear and nervousness in his eyes.

He was afraid of him.

Before Cyber could speak, the Flash said, "I'm here with peace, Overlord, we don't want to fight you anymore... Actually, we can't beat you either. ”

Barry was honest, but Cyber didn't buy it, and he snorted, and the ten rings of different colors on his finger danced with an eerie light in the gentle light, and he said in a deep voice:

"So, you still think that the rhythm of the war is in your hands? You can fight if you want, stop when you want? What are you kidding!"

The Overlord's voice echoed through the hall:

"Of course you can start a war, Barry, but it's up to me to decide whether the war is over or not!"

This kind of strength makes Barry a little unaccustomed, his simple personality and good heart, can be described as a "moral model" in the Justice League, frankly, he is really not suitable to be a negotiator, and in the face of Cyber's unreasonableness, he can only grit his teeth and retort:

"But we're not enemies! at least in the face of Barbatos, our position is the same!"

"That was before..."

Cyber snorted, he flicked his fingers, and his fingertips continued to burst out sparks that made Barry creepy, and after a moment, the light in Cyber's eyes turned, and he touched his chin and looked at the Flash in front of him:

"But to be honest, it's not fun to fight with you immature kids... You see, Barry, any peace talks are about showing self-worth, you come to pray for peace, but I don't see your sincerity..."

"My legion has conquered the nine kingdoms so far, but in the face of the entire sea of stars, my strength is still a little insufficient, so go back and tell your friends, I think those Kree people on the edge of the galaxy are very unpleasant, if you can bring me the heads of the speakers of the Cree people's supreme council within 3 days, I am willing to live in peace with you, and help you when fighting Barbatos..."

His eyes narrowed, and he looked at Barry:

"You see, the rules for making friends with me are actually very simple, I never make friends with waste... You have to show your worth, and if you want to fight Barbatos, you have to do my bidding!"

"Understood?"

"It can't be!"

Barry refused: "We are heroes! We are not assassins who work for money!"

"Oh?"

Cyber snorted disdainfully, and he looked at Barry, "Then you'd better learn to be an assassin now... I might as well tell you that it is impossible to defeat Barbatos and his dark legion by relying on you alone, and if you don't believe me, just ask my "old friend" Bruce, who must have come into contact with his cruel fate... Hehehe, it's so sad. ”

"Either die as a hero, or live to see yourself become a villain... You see, this is you, this is me, this is the fate of all the spirits in the world..."

"Little Barry, I'm waiting for your answer! Remember, you can't do without one of the 12 heads!"

A very strange light jumped in Cyber's eyes:

"Let me see, which is more important, the existence of the world or the persistence of the self? I'm curious, what choice he will make..."

"Buzz"

The space around Barry's body suddenly shattered, the light in front of his eyes flashed, and by the time he reacted, he was already standing at the door of the Justice League base in New York.

Barry gritted his teeth and walked inside the base, but soon he saw Batman lying in the healing chamber again, and the rest of the crowd with ugly faces.

"What's wrong?

Little Lightning asked, "How's it going?"

"Awful!"

Hal shrugged: "Everything is terrible, the dark bats are extinguishing the universe, and Bruce is swung by the laughing bats, the fourth piece of metal melts into his body, he sees the future catastrophic phantom, and the fragments of the entire dark universe based on the world of light will be accompanied by the opening of the door of Barbatos' seal, pouring into our world, turning our poor world into a complete darkness." ”

"Bruce said that once the fifth piece of metal touched him... Disaster will occur, and that is the irresistible future, and our final fate..."

Clark breathed a sigh of relief, and the steely Superman also felt a trace of powerlessness at this time: "This is too cruel, according to Bruce... We have no chance of winning. ”

"And so it was!"

Barry muttered to himself, "He guessed it all... No, he foresaw it! he already knew..."

"Well, what do you say?"

Wonder Woman looked up and looked at Little Lightning, "How's your peace talks?"

"The Overlord says he is willing to live in peace with us, and is even willing to send his legions across the universe to help us fight Barbatos..."

Little Lightning said with some difficulty, this sentence aroused the interest of the others, and Clark asked:

"And at what cost?"

Yes, no one thinks that the Overlord will help them for free... No sane person would think so.

"The price... He wants us to kill the 12 members of the Cree Supreme Council..."

The Flash swallowed hard, he looked at the other brothers, and he whispered, "I want us to throw away our insistence and become assassins, and he said that at least one of them must be killed by Bruce himself... He forces us to choose between the world and ourselves..."

"Either die as a hero, or live to see yourself become a villain..."

Lightning repeats Cyber's words, leaving the other heroes completely silent.

"Bang!"

The fist with the golden armor slammed on the table, and Wonder Woman's face had become extremely ugly: "This bastard!"

"Bruce wouldn't agree. ”

Clark shook his head, there was one more thing he didn't say... He wouldn't agree either.

"Then we'll have to find a way to stop those crazy bats on our own... But speaking of which, I actually have a great idea!"

Hal snapped his fingers, and a model of a domineering armor composed of green light appeared in front of everyone:

"I've had this idea for a long time, friends, Bruce is the most vulnerable of us, but he is also an integral part of us, we not only want to protect him, we also want to give him unparalleled strength, make him the sharpest knife in the Justice League!"

Green Lantern opened his arms and said loudly:

"This armor, designed by Bruce and I together, will be forged in the flames of the sun, quenched in the ice of the abyss, will be connected to the speed force and green light energy, will have the most powerful intelligent control in the universe, and will have a mysterious enchantment from Olympus..."

"I call it... Hellbats. I'm sure it's going to be Barbatos' nightmare!
