Chen Tao left Shazam and stood silent, he didn't have time to comfort poor Billy Batson, because the matter was far from over.

He returned to the Meditation Mites' side, picked them up, and unceremoniously instructed Darkseid:

"Go stop Steppenwolf and Wonder Woman from fighting and bring them all here."

"Then you just stay here and don't move, waiting for me to come back and arrange the rest of the business."

Immediately afterwards, he carried the Meditation Mite in one hand and twisted out a golden ball in the other, which was the Death King's Treasure Golden Ball.

As the golden portal made by the golden ball rippled, Chen Tao raised his foot, and when he was about to walk in, he suddenly remembered something, and then turned his head to Darkseid and said:

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. You have one more thing to do: arrest Dr. Sivana. You and Steppenwolf do this together, and Steppenwolf will tell Dr. Steppena who he really is. This guy is good at protecting himself, and he has been gone since the beginning of the fight, and I don't want to miss him this time and make something happen to me later. ”

Chen Tao wasn't worried that Darkseid wouldn't be able to catch Dr. Sivana. Steppenwolf's early work is well done, and several villains have basically confirmed the main course of action centered on "surrendering to Darkseid", and even if some people are careful, it is generally like this.

So once Darkseid and Steppenwolf start backstabbing, it's hard to trick Dr. Sivana into showing up, and it's a piece of cake to deal with him.

After explaining the task, Chen Tao didn't care about Darkseid's reaction, and as soon as he raised his foot, he crossed tens of millions of kilometers and appeared in Ismot, the base camp of Atositas.

He landed on the ground, not far from the valley, where the red light central energy battery was blazing. Chen Tao flew closer with the meditation mite, and then saw Atositas half-kneeling in front of the central energy battery, in front of him was an incomparably complex blood magic array that had been drawn.

"Are you done with what you need to do?" Chen Tao asked him.

"Of course, Batman." Atositas, with his back to Batman, replied, "I've been ready to come back from the Wall of Origin, and everything is already in place. A magic array that completely dispels the darkness in Williamhand's heart. ”

He turned his head:

"It's more profound and effective than if I simply used a cosmic wand to eliminate, you...... What the ***！ ”

Before Atositas finished speaking, he saw the half-dead Meditation Mite being beaten and being carried by Batman, and the anthropomorphic insect face was full of grievances, but at this time, his electronic speaker was still in Chen Tao's hands, so he couldn't do anything at all.

The insect face of the meditative mite became excited when he saw Atositaston in front of him, hissing in the insect's mouthparts, but Atositas couldn't understand a word.

Chen Tao picked up the half-dead meditative mite from the ground, although he was never sure if the meditative mite was the one behind the capture of Williamhand, and he also did not know what means the meditative mite used to get William Hand......

But since he saw the appearance of the meditative mite at the Hand's funeral home, and confronted Atositas with the meditative mite who told him that "only he can help him find William Hand", the answer is basically imminent, and it is not far from ten.

At this time, William Hand was just a nobody, even a minor child, not the first black-light corpse to cause the key person incident of "Darkest Night" in the future.

Unless the Black Death Emperor is going to break into the material universe now and directly kidnap his apostles, who will capture William Hand?

Having said that, if the Black Death Emperor now had the ability to directly enter the universe, there would be no need for him to cultivate William Hand.

As for the way to get the meditative mites to speak......

Atositas saw the lightning created by the power of Thunder Shazam wrapped around Chen Tao's hand.

Oh! Atositas knew that, and the Meditation Mite had been trying to get it, and he had succeeded. The Lord of the Red Lantern has been in the Meditation Mites' gang for a long time, and he still knows all this.

It turns out that Batman was going to use this power of living lightning to induce the meditative mites to release Williamhand? Batman won't share these living lightning powers with him again, so what's ......"

Zizi

But Atositas was halfway through thinking, and then he watched as Batman directly poked the palm wrapped with thunder and lightning on the body of the meditative mite, causing the big bug to twitch all over.

He saw Batman kick the meditative mite that only had 1/4 of his body left to the ground, and the other party's body was no longer as big as before due to serious injuries and countless magic arrays on his body, so he looked even more pitiful.

Batman kicked the other party's body again and again, and curled up in pain, and the color of his body turned red and green because of the severe pain. And Batman didn't spare his hand, the black nanobot turned into a crowbar in his hand, and he laughed wildly and tapped the worm skull of the meditative mite with a crowbar: "Say it or not? To say or not to say? To say or not to say? ”

Hiss hiss hiss......

Chen Tao didn't give the meditative mite the permission to control the electronic speakers, and the big insect twitched in pain, and the mouthparts kept inhaling, but he couldn't say a word.

But even when the meditation mite looked very painful, under Chen Tao's deliberate attention, he still found that the meditation mite had reached the field in front of him, but it was still deliberately absorbing the lightning created by Chen Tao's thunderous shazam.

Chen Tao pretended not to see it and let him do it.

Suck it, suck it. After all, he was the only creature that was able to use the power of living lightning without being recognized, and the more he sucked now, the easier it would be to control it after a while......

Chen Tao thought so as he opened the other party's permission to speak.

As soon as the permission is passed, the first sentence of the meditative mite is:

"Stop fighting, I'll do anything, please, stop fighting!"

The meditative mite did not play tricks, and soon, the hungry and skinny William Hand was released with a bewildered expression, and then he met two pairs of surprised and happy eyes.

"William Hand!" x2

Chen Tao hurriedly rushed over, followed by Atositas, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief together after scanning his body to make sure he wouldn't die immediately.

"It's good that you won't die for a while!"

Then the two of them began to examine Williamhand's body, so enthusiastic that they almost scared each other out: "No! Where exactly is this? Help me! I want to go home! ”

A few minutes later.

William Hand sat in the center of the magic array, his mouth crooked, his eyes glazed, motionless, Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

In the original comic book history, Atositas, who predicted the darkest night, once wanted to come to Earth and eliminate the darkness in Williamhand's heart in advance.

And such an act is undoubtedly a crime for Hal and Senisto, who rushed to hear the news. As a matter of course, Atositas failed, and his plan to cut off the night until darkness at the source was declared bankrupt.

And now, with his interference, William Hand can always quietly accept that "the darkness in his heart is gone".

This would probably be able to forcibly cure his necrophilia once and for all, and would this have had some positive effect on the arrival of the darkest night?

But Chen Tao didn't have time to care about this, he still had Darkseid to have a headache. If you can't get past today, there's no need to worry about any dark night.

After telling Atositas that he must not kill people and giving William Hand to the Black Death Emperor, Chen Tao left Atositas, who was still dancing like a god to William Hand, and hurriedly returned to Earth, he still had a lot to do.

……

……

……

At this time, the reverse lightning is being tied up in a corner of the Red of All Beings.

He looked coldly at the many jailers around him, the killer crocodile, the poison ivy woman, and Clarke, who had returned to normal, the other of whom looked a little weak, supported by his wife Louis.

He didn't want to hear what these people were saying when they looked at him, and his heart was full of doubt.

This is not right. This is not the future he sees.

What went wrong? He had now completely lost control of the situation.

Will The Flash really lose the war against Darkseid as he sees in the future?

He should have been standing by and leading it all and witnessing it all with his own hands, instead of being locked up here now, like a loser.

Then he saw Batman appear in front of him, and he drove away the onlookers, and led him into a shelter built for his family in the red-red desert of living beings, and took him alone to an empty, silver-white room.

This place is different from other places in the shelter that are clearly used for rest and self-preservation. But it's bare, and Reverse Lightning isn't sure what Batman wants to do.

"You want ......"

He opened his mouth directly, but soon after Reverse Lightning, he saw Batman take out a ring from the universal belt in front of him, and then pressed it, and then the small ring immediately popped out a set of Flash's uniform.

Reverse Lightning: ???

Then he saw Batman hurrying away again.

……

……

……

Aloneness.

Dark.

Deep.

"For so many years, all I was chasing was a reflection."

Bane was now anchored to the Wall of Origin. His consciousness was being swallowed up by the walls, little by little. Maybe it will take a while, maybe soon......

He looked at a creature next to him that had coalesced into a statue.

The thing flapped its broad wings, and it seemed to be flying out of the wall in the last moments of its life.

Bane was thinking about Batman again.

The reason why he originally wanted to defeat Batman was to defeat his own demons, his own nightmares.

His childhood shaped it into a monster, and the perennial sense of crisis made him unable to feel happy, only by defeating Batman can he be at peace, otherwise he would only die at the hands of another monster, and defeating Batman is his own vain obsession.

But after this obsession was gone, and everything was gone, Bane always felt that his life was worthless.

He tried to enrich himself by looking for his father, he wanted to find his blood relatives, which was an act of finding his "way from", but in the end, he searched and searched, and actually found Batman's head again.

"You saved me—Batman—"

Bane raised his head slightly, and the roar he had once heard at Batman seemed to echo in his ears at this time.

"I myself am no more harmless than this monster. But you saved me, so I'll spare your life, we're going to be entangled for the rest of our lives. ”

It's like a promise, it's like a curse.

So Bane was silent.

He lowered his head and saw that the gold had spread to his neck, the golden ...... Brilliant gold.

It climbed over its own bursting muscles, began to grow uncontrollably flowery jaws, and finally climbed over the bridge of his nose, gently and gently pressing the incessant wings of his nose.

He knew that Batman might not be in time to make it, and he wasn't sure if Batman was deliberately not coming, but that didn't matter.

When Bane looks back, he realizes that Bane's life was meaningless.

His hatred for Batman, whether it is the beginning or the dissipation, is incomparably child's play.

He is a man who lacks internal drive.

Save the world? Destroy the world? World domination? Or even the commander of Gotham?

Or does he want to resurrect someone? What to change in the past?

Does he have anyone he loved?

What is he pursuing? What did he want the world to agree with about him? Fear, or madness, or riddles?

There was nothing, and his life was nothing but nothingness. Even every goal in life is his own idea, not a heartfelt pursuit.

He wasn't like Darkseid, or the Joker, or the Scarecrow.

Only bats.

Only Batman.

Even capturing Gotham is like a kid trying to snatch a toy from another kid.

Conquer all evil?

What a grand goal, and was he really interested in it? Do you really see this as a lifelong career for you?

No.

Beneath that strong body, Bane's heart was empty.

He doesn't do things with logic or planning, not because he doesn't make plans for a specific goal, but because he ......

It's hard to put into words, it's hard to say that he never thought about what he was going to do after he achieved his goal.

This is Bain...... And I'm Bane.

Maybe eternal sleep on the Wall of Origin will be my home. In this way, he will never have to think about the meaning of life, the direction of life.

Bane thought so, and he began to feel like drowsy, the gold spreading across his temples, making him drowsy, as warm as in his mother's amniotic fluid.

He wanted to go back, he wanted to fall asleep.

Then he saw Batman.

"Bane."

The hazy, as if it was not like a human voice, seemed to roar in his ears in a high-pitched voice, and seemed to whisper in his heart.

Bane hears Batman's voice.

"I'm here as promised."
