Some ancients believed that death was an illusion that accompanied that moment.

Not just the past of the dying person, not only what the dying person knows, but also the illusion of the person's true self before his death.

For Bruce Wayne, it was such a moment.

Old Wayne Manor, moonlit hall, unlit. Bruce Wayne sat alone in his chair and pondered what he had been looking for, but never knew what it was.

Until the glass shattered with a clatter, and a bat flew in as if from the moonlight.

"Yes, Father, I will be a bat."

That moment was the moment when his current life officially began. From the moment that idea was born, it was as if he had gained a new life.

But what he saw this time was different from what he remembered.

The bat that was supposed to crash into the manor was supposed to be his inspiration and the beginning of a legend. But instead, he saw an owl flying by.

The owl caught the bat, using its predator's talons. Instead of making it to the estate, the bats were reduced to the owl's rations, disemboweling it on the branches, eating its flesh raw, and eating it clean.

The ancients believed that near-death visions were made up of the most secret truths in a person's life, sometimes revealing secrets that he did not even know during his lifetime. Sometimes these secrets comfort the soul, but also sometimes they are heartbreaking.

It's just that in any case, the ultimate goal of those images is to make people feel like they are in this life. Once all that was relevant to him was known, he would be able to die peacefully.

The visions revealed him as he really was, reflected in the burning eyes of the gods he believed in.

Batman has come to terms with this fact. He missed, he died. Escaping from the court's palace was already his last chance to burn his life. The owl ate the bat, just as it was meant to be.

But just when he had accepted this, in the darkness it was like. With light.

The illusion began to crack, and the owl on the branch let out an unpleasant scream, torn to shreds. Even death no longer seemed to be cold in the face of that light, and there seemed to be a large glowing hand in the void, which grabbed him through the illusion and dragged him to the surface of the water.

“.”

I can see that his vital signs have been coming up."

At the HISHE Cafe, Ka stretched his neck and leaned in front of Batman to look at him.

"It's amazing"

As he spoke, Batman suddenly yelled "no", and the whole person bounced off the bed like a spring. As Kara was poking his brain, Batman sat up suddenly, his head slamming into Ka's stretched forehead.

The Kryptonian skull is so steely and iron-clad, such a collision made Batman, who finally got back a mouthful of blood, fall back into the residual blood area, and lie down again in front of him.

Sit-ups belong to yes.

"Ahh

Kara hurriedly retracted her head, touched her forehead, and looked at Batman who had passed out again, feeling as if she had been in trouble.

"I just wanted to see how he was doing." She looked at Shen You innocently, "Who knows, who knows."

"It's fine."

Shen You touched her head and smiled.

"He's out of danger."

As he spoke, he looked at Batman and frowned slightly.

He didn't say it to anyone else. But when he just grabbed Batman, he seemed to sense something.

It was a very faint reaction, very inconspicuous, and it would be impossible to detect it if it weren't for an existence of a level like Shen You today. It felt as if something was influencing Batman, or at least some kind of high-level being was watching him.

But when Shen You noticed the strangeness and tried to go back to investigate, that trace disappeared again. It's as if it was just a hallucination on his part, and it never existed.

However, Shen You was very sure that it was not an illusion. And it's definitely not something that wants to target Batman's mutant superpowers or something, something of this magnitude simply doesn't deserve his attention. That's a much higher level than that.

And he already has a suspect in his mind.

Barbatos, the god of darkness.

At the beginning of the universe, matter and antimatter were born, and with them came monitors and counter-monitors, respectively. But few people know that in addition to these two, there is a third person at the origin of the universe, whose mission is to guard the things of the future, and forge the hopes and fears of all living beings into thousands of universes like a blacksmith.

Barbatos had been the third man's pet. But it found an opportunity to turn against its master and become the master of the dark multiverse. It is the personification of destruction and darkness, synonymous with despair.

And from the thousands of multiverses, it saw at a glance the human it liked the most, the different creature that wore its own badge.

Batman.

Nothing could be more serious than the consequences of this thing's invasion.

"It's a dangerous world." Shen You muttered.

Now he's actually gone quite far. From being an excellent graduate of the Land of Light at the beginning, he is now confident that he has surpassed most of his peers.

But it's not enough. He's had few opponents so far, but that doesn't mean he can be inflated. There are all kinds of powerful opponents eyeing him outside of this world, and he is far from ready.

Of course, it's useless to be anxious, and you still have to stutter the food. Make a small plan first, first unlock the seven light spectrums in turn, and then contact the secret of the origin of life.

The Black Death Emperor who represents death is the closest one of the current high-level bosses to him, so let's get this done first and then talk about anything else.

"You're going out?" Kara looked back at Shen You.

"yes, call Alfred, he'll be coming to pick him up soon. Just look at the dots. Shen You waved his hand, "It's almost time to make an appointment with the Divine Power Girls, I have to go to Midtown." ”

"Oh." Carla nodded, "Have a nice trip~"

Shen You waved his hand without looking back.

But before that, let's take care of a little trouble.

Opposite the café, in the shadows of the alley, a special dark shadow stood.

A claw, but not a random mass-produced product in the courtroom. He has exoskeleton technology that no other Talon has, and an owl-like armor that covers his entire body.

He now uses the identity of Lincoln March in Gotham, a candidate for mayor and a candidate publicly endorsed by Bruce Wayne. Bruce had believed that the upright mayor would bring about the future of Gotham.

But that's not the truth.

He's a claw who has come to take back what belongs to him.

"Good luck, Bruce. That's not your way to die, it's too cheap for you. Lincoln muttered to himself.

At this time, a voice sounded behind him: "Then what is the way to die?" Give me some science, would you? ”

Lincoln: "! ”

He looked back in astonishment at what should have been an empty alley, and saw a piece of red and silver armor silently standing behind him.

Shen You hovered in the air with his arms folded, smiling at the uninvited guest in his helmet.

Lincoln March's pupils constricted, and even instinctive counterattack seemed to be frozen.

Because he recognized this guy. A man he felt should not be here anyway, was seen as synonymous with "invincibility" on Earth.

It was at this moment that he realized.

Send.
