But just as Thomas's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, there was a loud "bang" in the corridor outside the ward door, and Bruce was not frightened at all, with a "I've been waiting for you for a long time" expression on his face.

As we all know, Batman and the Joker also have a law, that is, the Joker will never let Batman die at the hands of others.

Bruce brought Thomas over and put him in his current near-death state, just to wait for Martha the Clown to show up.

With a "bang", the door of the ward was slammed open, and when Martha, who was wearing clown makeup and had a crazy smile on her face, appeared in front of her, Bruce's hand was still slightly clenched.

And Martha, who slammed the door open, was also stunned.

The second law of the Batman Joker writes that the stronger the Batman, the stronger the Joker.

What if there were two Batmans?

This is a difficult thing to verify, because when a Batman meets another Batman, he usually just says "get out of my Gotham", and tries everything to put this sentence into practice, and the probability of the two being in the same frame is about zero.

But Bruce has long deduced the result from previous experiences, there were two Jokers in Gotham before, one is Schiller and the other is Jack, so who does Batman's strength change with?

The answer is Schiller.

And now, Bruce's Gotham has two Batmans, one is Bruce and the other is Thomas, so who does Jack the Joker's strength follow to change?

The answer is Bruce.

To sum up the above two examples, it is not difficult to conclude that the strength of the Joker should be changed together with Batman, who is most closely bound to him, that is, even if Bruce and Thomas appear together now, Martha the Joker will only change with Thomas's strength, because they are husband and wife and torture each other all year round.

Of course, this change is subtle over the long term, not that Batman is dying, and the Joker must be dying, so weakening the Joker by weakening Batman on a physical level does not hold.

But Bruce remembers that he had a peculiar feeling that when the second Clown, Jack, appeared in front of him, Bruce's first reaction was not hatred or fear, but sluggishness.

In retrospect, it was a bit like he was discerning whether he should bind the dynamic difficulty to the clown in front of him, but at that time, because of the presence of Schiller the Clown, of course the result of his discernment was.

And now Martha is in the same situation, two Batmans appear in front of her, and she has a moment of frustration to determine who is the Batman who is dynamically bound to her.

And it was this brief sluggishness that gave Bruce the opportunity to get close to Martha the Clown, and in an instant, the house was filled with the smell of wine, and the madness of wine pulled Martha into a dream.

Previously, Bruce had three different personality traits, and after the mountain code was cleared, he could also do one personality trait to work in his dreams, and the other to float up to control the body, just like Schiller.

As a result, the red-eyed Bruce entangles the Clown's consciousness in the dream world, while the blue-eyed Bruce controls his body and begins to operate in the real world.

He walked over to Thomas's bedside, and by this time Thomas's vital signs were nearing nothing, and Bruce did not activate any resuscitation equipment, but took out a tube of blood.

It was the blood of Cain the Joker.

Bruce used a syringe to push the tube of blood into Thomas's body, activating the magic circle in the operating room, and an alternative bloodline initiation ritual officially began.

The process of the first embrace ritual is actually to drain the blood from the body of the first embracer, and then replace this part of the blood with the powerful blood in the blood clan's body.

Because the blood power in the blood clan is more, it only needs a small amount of blood to replace more than half of the blood in the body of ordinary people, so as to replace their bloodline and complete the transformation of the descendants, which is the principle of the first embrace ceremony.

And after the first embrace ceremony began, Bruce went around to the other side of the bed and directly used his angelic power to send Martha to his own universe, and when the power of the crazy wine disappeared, Martha returned to reality, facing a cage made of abundant green light energy, and Clark, Diana and Hal who had been notified to stay next to the cage a long time ago.

And in the Flashpoint universe, a wonderful scene happened.

After Martha the Clown was transported away, it was equivalent to that there was no Joker in this universe, but the Batman of this universe was not dead, he was just in the first embrace ceremony.

Bruce had long understood that the magic of the first embrace ritual was that the first embracer was on the verge of life and death during the seven to ten days of transformation, neither dead nor alive.

According to the first law of the Batman Joker, where there is Batman, there must be a Joker, and now that Batman is not dead, but the Joker is gone, then the order to be executed by the lowest rules in the world is to create a Joker.

So what is the basis for the creation of the clown?

Bruce is very proficient at this.

First of all, there is the gaze of Batman, and Bruce has been watching Thomas all the time and pouring his affection into him.

Secondly, Batman has to have a very deep bond with the Joker, and Bruce is Thomas's own son.

Again, the Joker is going to have a bad day, and today no one in this world is sadder than Thomas, who has learned the truth.

Finally, there is the clown virus, and the blood of Cain the clown that Bruce injected Thomas with is made up of two parts, one is Cain's blood, and the other is the clown virus on Cain's body, which has been turned into a clown.

To sum up, after the Joker's absence, the first priority heir should be Thomas Wayne.

Thomas, who was lying on the bed, gradually showed a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth. But at this moment, Bruce suddenly cut off the energy supply of the Initial Ritual Magic Array in the operating room.

This magic circle is mainly used to stimulate the energy in the blood of the blood clan, and the energy in the blood blood of the blood is necessary to ensure the survival of the first embrace, after all, their own blood that has been almost drained is no longer enough to support their lives.

As soon as the positive energy of magic is cut off, it will naturally stop running, then the part of Cain's blood that belongs to Cain's power will be cut off, and Thomas, who relies on this power to sustain his life, should naturally die.

But the clown is immortal.

The next paradox arises, the first embrace ceremony is interrupted, and the first person who is first embraced will naturally die, but Thomas is the first candidate to transform into a clown, and the joker is immortal.

The rules of the world want to turn Thomas into a clown once and for all, but Thomas is on the death list, and there is no such person in the realm of the living.

The rules of the world can't turn a dying person into a clown, and death can't accept the clown who is not dead in terms of rules, and the two wrestle with each other.

Death in the DC world is less human, more like an auto-running program, and if the program doesn't work, the object will be marked as an anomalous target, and then displayed on the error report, which will eventually be submitted to the highest authority administrator, which is God.

So what is God doing now?

He was looking for Gabriel all over the world, and he didn't have time to read the error report, so the matter was stuck here.

In short, Bruce got stuck with a bug that kept Thomas stuck in his current form.

At this time, Bruce brought back Martha the Clown, and then continued to haunt her in the dream world, and waited quietly.

The Joker's strength changes with Batman, and according to the first law, when Batman dies, the Joker disappears.

Batman corresponding to Masha the Joker has been on the death list, which is equivalent to being dead, but he is just stuck, Batman is dead, and the Joker naturally has no need to exist, so the dynamic binding of Batman Thomas and Masha the Joker is lifted.

Then, according to the principle of clown transformation.

First of all, there is Batman's gaze, and Bruce is now looking at Martha and pouring his affection into her.

Secondly, Batman has to have a very deep bond with the Joker, and Bruce is Martha's own son.

Again. The Joker is going to have a bad day, and the death of Batman Thomas is equivalent to the death of Martha the Joker's husband.

Finally, there must be a clown virus, and Martha the Clown is originally a clown, so she already has the clown virus in her body.

In this way, Batman Bruce and Masha the Joker have re-established a dynamic binding, which once again conforms to Batman's Joker's law.

Then according to a variation of Batman's second law of the Joker, the more sober Batman is, the more sober the Joker is, and the less serious Batman is, the less crazy the Joker is.

Martha, the clown who binds Batman and Bruce, will change with Bruce, and now there is no one more sober in this world than Bruce.

As a result, the clown Martha gradually came to her senses, the effect of the clown virus in her body became weaker and weaker, and her eyes, which were originally only crazy, gradually regained their vitality.

Through the mess of paint on her face and the terrifying corners of her mouth, you can still see the lady's well-maintained beauty, which has not left any signs of age, and Batman's appearance tends to be classical and melancholy, which comes from his mother, Martha Wayne.

And when the madness in Martha's mind gradually faded, and the residual memories told her reason what cruel things he had done, Martha Wayne, who had always been kind and loving, finally couldn't help but collapse.

She sat on the ground with her hands over her face and began to cry incessantly, then looked up at Bruce as if she had suddenly thought of something, and Bruce was looking down at her.

Bruce slowly half-knelt down and hugged Martha, and just as he was about to say something to comfort his mother, two angels with flapping wings belated.

Michael and Lucifer looked left and right at Thomas, who was lying on the operating table in the operating room, Michael glared at Lucifer and said, "You said let him try, now it's okay, what now?" ”

"Why don't you try a reboot?" Lucifer said with some embarrassment, then he raised his head again, looked at the surrounding environment and said: "It's not easy to do, let's not say that the Flashpoint universe is special, and if you don't restart it, it will collapse, in case this damn Batman goes to his teacher to complain, I don't want to be as bad as Gabriel." ”

"But if it goes on like this, sooner or later death will notice that something is wrong, and as soon as he sues God, can God still scold Batman? It must be the two of us who let him come over, and when the time comes, it will be 'two gods who can't stand one person!' ’。

Lucifer and Michael sighed deeply, and Lucifer gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that there was no good fruit to eat if I had anything to do with Schiller!" ”

After thinking for a while, Lucifer said, "Either we will secretly resurrect Thomas and cross the names on the death list, and we will treat it as if nothing happened, and ensure that death cannot be seen." ”

"You're interfering with the normal order of the world!" Michael, who has a sense of justice, said.

"I'm correcting the normal order of the world!" Lucifer snapped his fingers and began to count, "Why is Batman here?" Because he became an angel, then why did he become an angel? Because Gabriel gave up his angelic status to him, then why did Gabriel give up his angelic identity? ”

"Don't look at me like that, I know it's because I'm angry with him, but doesn't God have a little responsibility? I'm cleaning up the mess for God, otherwise how can God save face if several universes collapse because of this incident? ”

"Pure quibble!" Michael commented.

"Then you will know why I am God's favorite angel!"

Lucifer didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, Thomas gasped on the spot. Sit up from the bed.

And Bruce has already left with Martha, and Bruce brought Martha to his universe, which is equivalent to not changing the plot development of the Flashpoint universe, so Thomas will still come to this universe because of the same accident, and it does not cause a time paradox.

Borrowing the power of Bruce's Holy Light, Bruce and Martha landed in the Gotham Cathedral of his universe,

Standing in front of the pulpit, Martha looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?" Little Bruce, I mean...... How did you get rid of that horrible virus? ”

Outside the church gate, the Gotham twilight was thick, and the setting sun shone through the stained-glass windows on Martha's face, painting her eyebrows with a heavy golden oil paint, and also draping her shoulders with a soft gauze garment.

The crucifix behind the pulpit of Gotham Cathedral bowed its head, its face blurred in the twilight mist, and after all the madness was gone, Mrs. Wayne became as gentle and kind as the Virgin in the painting.

Bruce looked at Martha's face, which was no different from what he remembered, and remembered that the night after kindergarten, when he smiled and threw himself into his mother's arms, the same beautiful and brilliant sunset fell on Martha's shoulders through the gap in the leaves of the large tree in front of the school gate.

Bruce stepped forward again, and the exhausted Martha, who was tortured by madness, looked a little confused, as if she had forgotten a lot of things, but only her mother's instinct made her open arms and take her son, who was many times stronger than she remembered, into her arms.

Mother's love is the only kind of love in this world that comes from instinct and can be obtained without any choice and confrontation, never conditional, always great.

At this moment, Bruce finally understood why his teacher had taken him on a different path—not to walk gently into that good night, but to be an ordinary person, to die in the brilliant, warm, emotional twilight before the long night came, drowning in the arms of tenderness.

So, he said in a childlike choked tone.

"Because...... I'm not Batman. ”

Parents are both together!
