In one hall, an old man sat lonely in a chair, as if he had been sitting there for a long time, as if he was waiting for someone.

"This is, Clark?" Looking at the old man's somewhat familiar face, Bruce, who stepped through the portal and walked in the hall, narrowed his eyes, a little uncertain. He looked at Bruce, the hospital gown beside him, to get a bit of an accurate response from him.

Bruce shook his head, signaling that he had no memories in his memory.

"You're here." A somewhat hoarse male voice sounded in front of him, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. So much so that his voice sounded somewhat dry and sluggish.

"Clark? Is that you?" Seeing that Luke was just looking around with great interest, Bruce didn't mean to answer or answer, thought about it, and took the initiative to stand up and talk to the old man.

"Of course. I'm the superman of this universe, but not the Clark you remember. "Old Superman confesses his identity.

"This is the heart of the world's melting pot. is the origin of all the multiverse. Old Superman stood up from his chair and introduced the mysterious place to everyone.

"All the universe you know was created from here. The master here is the World Forger, and his responsibility since his birth has been responsible for creating one multiverse after another.

But for some reason, the universe he created is not necessarily perfect and stable. So he will cut out those unstable universes, like a gardener pruning branches. ”

"And that scissor is Barbatos, the god of the dark universe as you know it."

"I think something must have happened, didn't I?" Bruce noticed that Luke didn't stop him from communicating with Old Superman, as if he hadn't heard them, still just scanning the surroundings, as if something was attracting him.

"That's it, Barbatos one day hated this duty, and he began to secretly leave behind some universes that needed to be destroyed, and these universes formed the dark universe that the Laughing Bat experienced them.

But without destroying those unstable dark universes, there will be no return of energy to the World Crucible, which may eventually be exposed. So Barbatos killed his master, Alpheus the World Forger. ”

"What about you?" Bruce looked at old Superman.

"The Justice League in my universe clashed with Barbatos, and we couldn't kill it, but Diana used a force to suppress it under the world's melting pot. The Justice League also suffered heavy casualties as a result of the war. In the end, it was decided that I would be the caretaker of Barbatos. Old Superman answered Bruce's question knowing everything.

"But Barbatos was able to make a deal with the Laughing Bat." Bruce pointed to the hospital gown next to him, "Your guards don't seem to be working as well as they should. ”

"You can't understand how powerful Barbatos is! He has infinite energy, and we can only bind his body, but there is no guarantee that his spirit will find a hole in the seal. But under the suppression of the world's melting pot, even if there are loopholes, his spirit cannot extend outward for a long time and without limits.

It's not like no one else is looking for this place but you. But the war is over. ”

"So, you want us to leave?" Luke said suddenly.

"Of course, this is not the place you should be!" Old age is superhuman.

"But what you're doing doesn't look like you're trying to get us going. Space is changing, and that door is not where we came from. Luke pointed to the unclosed door in the back that he had stepped in.

Stephen and Bruce suddenly became cautious. A green glow formed a bat suit on Bruce's body, which was his light ring suit. Psionic energy can be used to mimic the power of the emotional spectrum.

"In addition, the dark energy in your soul is even richer than that of Dormammu. There is no point in disguise in appearance, Barbatos. ”

Luke's words silenced the old Superman and Bruce.

Old Superman began to overflow with a thick darkness, like mercury pouring on the ground, quickly swallowing up the light of the surrounding space.

The land of light is dwindling, and darkness is covering all around.

A huge black shadow obscured the sky and the sun like night, and its wide bat-like wings stretched out to both sides, its body wrapped in a gray cloak, and its facial features were inconspicuous, except for a pair of narrow eyes that shimmered in the dark night. He had the posture of a human, and his arms exposed to the cloak were covered in skin and bones, only a skeleton with a layer of skin, which looked like chicken feet.

"It's strange that the multiverse I saw didn't discover your fate. Are you an outsider? A rumbling sound rang out in the darkness. Barbatos, revealing his true form, condescendingly looked at Luke and them like ants.

"Can you take me to the Crible?" Facing the malevolent Barbatos, Luke's voice was captured by it clearly and clearly.

"Of course not!" Barbatos was wrapped in purple-black thunder, and the powerful power gathered in his palm, and he refused.

"I don't think it's okay for him to show it." Suddenly, in the midst of Barbatos and Bruce's stunned expressions, another voice sounded seamlessly. And the source is none other than Barbatos, who has just refused.

Bruce and the others looked at the behemoth who was quick to ask and answer questions and argue with himself, his eyes roaming back and forth between him and Luke. They were sure that Barbatos' current state had nothing to do with Luke, but they weren't sure how Luke did it.

"The power of opposites. It can also be understood as the power of positive and negative. Whether it's matter, spirit, or energy, Luke is able to control and master everything between them. And the strong replication and transformation of psionic energy provides Luke with the most stable foundation of power. He can let you quarrel with yourself for the rest of your life if he wants to. It doesn't matter if you are a god or a man. Seeing Bruce's gaze, Stephen took a deep breath and explained briefly.

"It's you, you despicable mortal! What did you do! I'm going to destroy you! Barbatos freed himself from the quarrel with his other consciousness, and wanted to unleash the power he had stored up to destroy Luke below.

"Don't be so grumpy! It's in our nature to destroy, but that doesn't mean we see everything to destroy! I don't think that's good! After all, he let me out to breathe, and for that reason, I think he is absolutely qualified to see the world's melting pot. However, the terrifying energy that was ready to be unleashed was abruptly stopped, and another voice rang out again. It has now begun to assert control of the body and energy with Barbatos' main consciousness, and it seems to be paying off. (End of chapter)
