Chapter 3612: Injustice Alliance (I)
A dim yellow sunset. Then there were screams, blood, crazy laughter, and roars echoing in the ears. The smell of blood kept drifting into the nose. Something was being chased by endless malice. Jumping down from a tall building...
Batman suddenly woke up.
He took a few quick breaths, but quickly threw back the quilt, sat on the bed and wiped his face vigorously.
He had a nightmare again. Certain scenes kept reappearing in his dream. Batman had to admit that Superman played a more important role in his life than he expected. The day of the tragedy became a common nightmare that they could not get rid of.
Superman is going crazy. Batman knows it.
With a bang, the door opened, and Batman saw the pair of cold light blue eyes as expected.
"When will they come?"
Batman looked up at him. At that time, there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, but something was brewing under the ice, exuding frightening malice and madness.
"I don't know," Batman said. "I have no way of knowing for sure. Besides, they won't be willing to help you."
"They have to help me." Superman stared at him and said, "As long as I can go back in time, I can save Lois. It will be easy for them. They have to help me!"
Batman slowly closed his eyes. He knew that Superman had stepped into an irreversible trap.
Resurrection, rebirth, return to the past, and reverse the tragedy.
No. Nothing in this world comes without a price. Batman thought. When they reset their universe, they kept the memories of the outsiders, perhaps waiting for a fish to bite.
Batman has a lot to say. He wants to tell Superman that the other side can easily reset the time of the universe, but they will never use this power to help you. He also wants to tell Superman that even if they can go back to the past, they may not be able to save Lois, and it is likely that everything will not develop in a good direction.
But looking at his crazy expression, Batman couldn't say anything.
When he discovered that time was actually going backwards in another universe, he was shocked by the power of this great force and thought about going back to the past to undo the tragedy. How could he blame Superman?
But they were a bunch of lunatics. Batman was well aware of that. They were throwing their universe in and out of the river of time like skipping a stone. That was not a rational approach. They couldn't take the risk.
Batman saw something deeper. That universe could use this trick because they worked together and were all crazy.
But this universe of mine is not like that. Superman wants to use their powers to go back in time to save Lois, and Batman wants to use their powers to go back in time to save his parents. So what about Wonder Woman? What about Green Lantern? What about Flash?
Everyone wants this power. It will eventually lead to a terrible tragedy. Batman will not allow this to happen.
But he knew that he could not stop the crazy Superman. There was no way to persuade him, nor to stop him from doing anything. He could only wait.
Their mission in that universe failed.
In countless reincarnations, Batman has led a rebellion or made small moves behind the scenes while Brainiac was fending off other invaders.
But time was running out. The potential shown by this AI that was about to go crazy was unimaginable, even many times more terrifying than the one they were facing now. They ultimately failed.
The Doujie doesn't care about the universe reset. Time is not reversed, it keeps moving forward. The mission will naturally fail due to timeout.
Before leaving, they invited the Justice League of this universe to go to their universe to solve Brainiac's troubles. However, this time it was not Batman who made the invitation, but Superman.
But Batman knows full well that Superman doesn't really want to cooperate.
What he wanted was the power to look back to the past. With this power, any tragedy or enemy would no longer be a problem.
He wanted to trap them here and force them to give up that power, just like he had killed the Joker and ruled the Earth with violence and force.
Failure did not teach him a lesson, but the sweetness he had tasted made him even crazier. When Batman wanted to stop it, it was too late.
He made a completely wrong decision. He shouldn't have let Superman out. Batman thought, this is definitely not him shirking responsibility. If someone must be held responsible for Superman's madness, it must be the Justice League of that universe.
They did something to Superman's emotions. For a long time, Superman's emotions were very wrong. He became a real iceberg, and even Batman could not shake him.
As a result, when he saw that time could flow backwards, his emotions burst out in an instant, causing a terrifying storm that completely destroyed the bottom line of his rationality. He no longer cared.
They did it on purpose. Batman knows it.
This is a trap. A trap for emotionally unstable superhumans.
For a deeply traumatized person, the chance to go back in time and reverse a tragedy is enough to drive one crazy. They laid the groundwork for so long, hiding their plan for so long until it finally broke out, just to make Superman crazy with greed for this power.
Let greed blind his eyes, and then use his power and madness to kidnap other people in this universe, forcing them to open the door and let the wolf in.
They succeeded. Batman sighed heavily in his heart. He knew what a reckless and stupid plan the Injustice League had made during his rest time.
In the name of fighting Brainiac, they wanted to invite the Justice League over, find a way to defeat and imprison the weak among them, and then threaten those among them who had the power to go back in time, forcing them to work for him.
They feel that in this way they can use the power of time unscrupulously and reverse every tragedy they want to undo.
Everyone is greedy.
When they are unaware of the existence of this power, they convince themselves to accept the tragedy, then let time heal the wounds, turn those misfortunes into the past, strive to live well in the present, and muster the courage to face the future.
But when they know that everything can be redeemed, the world will be completely different in their eyes. Facing the past that they are not satisfied with, they can change it endlessly.
But what would be good?
By resurrecting Lois, Superman can live a happy life with her again. But what if he encounters danger again one day? He will still choose to use this power to save the other person.
What if they have a conflict one day? Would Superman also want to go back to the past and change something in the past to prevent the conflict?
What if they have a quarrel one day? Will he want to go back and repeat what he said wrongly?
Endlessly reversing the past will make people lower the standard of tragedy, from the loss of life at the beginning, to the development of something not going well, to the negative emotions at a certain moment.
They won't choose to accept it, they just want to start over.
This is definitely not a way of survival that carbon-based life can accept. The people in that universe are confident that they can control it, but not their universe. No means no, there is no intermediate state to try.
This is totally wrong, Batman thought. But he really can't stop it.
Batman had never hoped so much that the Justice League, whom he had complained about countless times in his heart as being unreliable, would be more reliable this time and stop these stupid idiots from messing up everything again.
Batman lay back on the bed without saying a word. Superman stood beside the bed. He said, "You can lead the resistance to fight Brainiac and restore order to the earth. I don't care anymore."
After saying that, he waved his cloak and turned to leave.
Batman put his arm over his eyes. His mind was full of the dream. The Joker's laughter and the screams of the crowd kept playing in his mind until he fell into a deep sleep again.
At the base, members of the Justice League and the Injustice League sat together. This was not the first time, since the Brainiac invasion, the two sides had temporarily ceased fighting and reached cooperation.
The original Justice League lacked Oliver the Green Arrow, as he had died in the fight against Superman's regime. On the Injustice League side, there were many well-known criminals, such as Scarecrow and Bane, as well as Hal, who first turned from Green Lantern to Yellow Lantern and then back to Green Lantern.
Superman sat in front of everyone. He rubbed the wedding ring on his hand. Wonder Woman noticed this action. She spoke first, "Batman once borrowed the power of the Justice League of other universes to defeat you, Superman. You can do the same. If they defeat Brainiac by going back in time, then we can do the same."
"Playing with time is very dangerous." The Flash had to say out loud, "It will bring unpredictable consequences."
"But they are fine," Wonder Woman said. "They even went back more than once, but many, many times. So it's okay for them to help us go back once."
The Flash remained silent, obviously disagreeing.
"How's Batman?" Green Lantern asked.
"He's resting," Superman said, "I just realized that he still needs to rest."
"He just wants to oppose you." Wonder Woman said, "He has always been this kind of person. He doesn't consider your situation or the situation of the earth. He just opposes you for the sake of opposing you."
Wonder Woman put her arms on the table and said, "He beat up criminals, but he only blamed you for killing the Joker. He also summoned the Justice League from other universes, but he passively resisted your request for help."
"Even though Brainiac's army is approaching and other universes have successfully used time travel to fight Brainiac, he is unwilling to stand up and help you persuade them to help. In my opinion, you are too kind to him."
Many people who stood on Batman's side glared at him, but Batman chose to avoid them, and there was nothing they could do.
Wonder Woman suddenly reached out and held Superman's hand, saying, "Don't worry, I will always stand by you. Batman can use people from other universes to defeat you, so you can naturally leave him behind. We can talk to them. They will help you. They must help you."
