——DC, Dark——Universe 0, Gotham. In the Batcave below Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, who has put on the Batsuit, is chatting with three
"Heroic Batman" discusses important matters. this
The importance of "important things", look at the person next to you who is happily
Joe Cole, who kept tapping on the "Batcomputer" but no one answered him, or rather
Mr. "Clown" will know.
"Even if your attitude is very serious and you bring in the Joker to testify, I really don't remember the existence of other 'Batman Heroes', and there is no sign of their existence in Gotham's various surveillance systems,"
"Bat Daddy" spread his hands: "In my memory, you do have many 'Batman Fragments' captured from the 'Court of Owls', but most of them cannot be used to summon 'heroic spirits'. In all attempts, It was just me, Martha and Alfred who responded to your call, and I guess family ties played a big part in that.”
"With all due respect, Master Wayne,"
"Old Bat" continued: "According to your description, 'Super Bat', 'Two-faced Bat' and 'Batcat' are the ones responsible for causing you... causing you to die or lose your identity as Batman in other worlds, even if They died in the invasion of the Court of Owls and became 'Heroic Spirits'. Out of guilt, they should and will not respond to your call."
"Let them finish talking, I will just mention one thing,"
"Bat Mom" said: "If your cousins, aunts, nieces and other distant relatives become 'Batwomen', it would be understandable to accept the call, but 'your post-sexual transformation self'? If you think about it, you will Accepting the call to a world where everyone you know is the opposite gender? Mother Tamashi? Father Martha? Aunt Aphrodite?"
"What are those weird names? How can you teach little Bruce well with such a mental state?" Bat Dad expressed dissatisfaction.
"I match you well, don't I? You're a loser who failed to protect your wife and children." Bat mother choked back.
"If there were a woman to take my job, I think her name would be 'Julia Pennyworth,'" the real Alfred, the butler of Wayne Manor, appeared in the Batcave carrying a plate. Here, he interrupted the couple who each belong to different worlds.
The "original" couple quarreled: "Does anyone want to try my newly baked cookies?"
"Even you who are also 'Batman Heroes' have no memory left..." Bruce walked over and took a cookie: "If I am the only person in this universe who still remembers them, this means..."
"And me~Mr. Joe Cole, who has an extraordinary memory~" The clown turned away from the Batcomputer and waved repeatedly.
"..." Because of the presence of
"Batman Heroes" generally do not have a good impression of the Joker in their respective worlds, and Bruce, who was willing to talk to him, was deep in thought, so no one paid attention to him at all. The Joker finally retracted his arm, scratched his head, and started retrieving the data on the Batcomputer: " As expected, I couldn’t find it. All the things done by the ‘disappeared Batman’ in my memory were equally shared by these people present~”
"Although I don't remember the people you mentioned, I think this should be a good thing." Alfred put the cookies on the table, straightened his sleeves, and said to Bruce.
"What do you mean?" Bruce looked up at him.
"As you said, Master, you were affected by certain 'rules' in Mr. Waylon Jones's zoo, encountered an accident in a 'non-existent' aquarium, and then went to 'Super Bat', 'Double' while in a coma. "The Bat" and the "Unlucky Joker" world, and successfully prevented 'yourself' in those worlds from dying or losing their identity as Batman," Alfred said slowly: "And when you returned to our current universe, you found that Those 'heroic spirits' have disappeared together with the 'rules', and except that you and Mr. Choker still remember them, there is no sign of their existence."
"I originally thought it was a dream about their past," Bruce raised his hand to look at his
"Command Spell": "'They' said that after my relationship with the 'heroic spirit' got closer, something like this might happen, so I tried my best to 'make up for' their regrets. Could it be...because of their original The universe has been destroyed, and they themselves are 'heroic spirits' who exist through 'fragments', so once I change their 'past', it is equivalent to destroying the 'fragments', which will cause them to cease to exist?"
"Haha," Alfred smiled: "Although you are good at reasoning, analysis and making plans, your thinking is still limited to the 'single universe'."
"Hmm...?" Bruce seemed to have thought of something, but failed to catch the flash of inspiration.
"Before, you took three, no, it should be eight 'Batman Heroes' to fight against the 'Dark Knights' who claimed to be from the 'Multiverse'. Do you still remember them? They claimed that they were hunting down and destroying people everywhere. The 'Court of Owls' and 'Traitors' of the single universe expressed their appreciation for our ability to defeat the 'threats of the multiverse' on our own, and said that if your strength exceeds the 'single universe level' in the future, they may ask for your help. , At that time, we thought it was just a courtesy," Alfred straightened his back: "But now, being able to interfere with other universes proves that your strength has indeed exceeded the 'single universe' level."
"In other words," Bruce's tone became more relaxed: "Those heroic spirits did not 'disappear', but 'no longer have the identity of Batman'? But that is clearly history that has already happened..."
"I think this is because the 'Court of Owls' has been completely wiped out, and those Batman who call themselves the 'Dark Knights' are working on repairing the multiverse," Alfred said: "The 'rules' and ' Dreams are the embodiment of the repair process. They will not affect ordinary people after the repair is completed. However, when you, who already have multiverse-level strength, interfere, it will cause those repaired universes to behave in your way. The result will prevail - do you still remember how you explained to me when you tried to use the power of unknown origin to summon the 'heroic Batman'?"
"[Get the power to deny the world from outside the world]," Bruce replied: "But at that time I just wanted to deal with those from outside the world..."
"No matter what you thought specifically at the beginning, what you wanted to 'deny', now it has been realized on a larger scale," Alfred interrupted: "If I am right, Your behavior of changing those universes may be as conspicuous as a torch in the night in the eyes of the 'Dark Knights'. They will soon contact you again, invite you to join, and use your 'multiverse-level' power to deal with me for the time being. An unimaginable enemy.”
"..." Alfred's words were well-founded and logical. Bruce couldn't think of a flaw for a moment, so he decided to treat this reasoning as fact for the time being.
if
The statement that "his strength has broken through the single universe" is established and can even modify history. Then... Bruce glanced at the people who were still arguing over there.
"Bat Daddy" and
"Bat Mom". What happened in Crime Alley back then. Do you have
"Negative" possibility?
