Chapter 211: Earth Negative One—The Mad Superman!

Marvel Universe.

Deadpool, who normally lived for entertainment, suddenly fell silent.

He abruptly decided that becoming Green Lantern was not worth it after all. Bryce was only moderately attractive anyway.

Lady Death was still better.

Tony Stark’s expression was even worse.

The instant the name “The Batman Who Laughs” appeared, no power had been displayed, yet the madness and darkness rushing toward him seemed ready to overflow from the screen!

Tony did not know who commanded the Chitauri army from the shadows, but he was certain that individual could not be more terrifying than this man!

At that moment, he even experienced a strange sense of relief born from self-deception.

At least his world would not have to face this monster.

Tony could not help sighing:

“The DC Universe… Hah. It really is a dark place.”

Deadpool nodded vigorously in complete agreement!

Between Marvel’s countless universes, a palace stood within the void!

Loki, the God of Stories, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly penetrating the screen.

Several seconds later, surprise appeared on his face.

The Batman Who Laughs had not been written into destiny…

That was extremely strange!

DCEU World!

Only the sound of waves remained on the beach.

Clark, Barry, and Arthur stared nervously at Bruce Wayne.

They had never seen such a grave expression on his face before. He looked as though the end of the world had arrived.

Bruce stared intensely at the screen.

He did not understand why, but the moment he saw that man, instinctive unease filled his heart!

He trusted his intuition.

This was unquestionably a terrible sign!

“That name is meaningless.”

Bryce’s gaze remained cold. She did not mind enduring an even longer period of loneliness.

The Batman Who Laughs was not angered in the slightest. Instead, he laughed and mocked her:

“Admit it, sweetheart…”

“You already know who I am.”

“Yes. Exactly what you’re thinking…”

“Hahaha! That expression never gets old!”

Bryce fell silent. Only after several minutes did she ask heavily:

“You are another version of me from a different world.”

“Have you come here merely to laugh at my suffering?”

“Of course not!”

The Batman Who Laughs sat cross-legged atop the skyscraper and looked down at Bryce, speaking in a seductive tone:

“Quite the opposite.”

“I have come to bring you hope.”

“Beyond this darkness, countless perfect worlds still exist!”

“They are as beautiful as dreams. Bright, youthful suns constantly radiate warmth.”

“There is no despair and no suffering.”

Bryce’s heart trembled. She admitted that she was tempted!

But at that moment, the Batman Who Laughs’s face suddenly became hideous!

“And this…”

“Is our world!”

As his words fell, he waved his hand. A mist-like power of darkness appeared from thin air and transformed into an enormous star map!

It was…

The Dark Multiverse!

It existed beneath the true multiverse and consisted of countless twisted and deformed worlds, where stories that should never have existed unfolded every moment!

More despairingly, every one of those worlds possessed only a single ending—annihilation!

There was no other path!!

At that moment, Bryce witnessed how the universes of the Red Death and the Dawnbreaker were swallowed by darkness and perished amid screams of despair!

Compared to those bright and warm worlds, their fates appeared even more pitiful and absurd!

In an instant, violent hatred and darkness emerged within Bryce’s eyes!

Why were they born only to suffer and destined to be destroyed!?

Why were they the ones forced to live within universes as dark as nightmares!?

Pain, fear, and despair…

They should be shared equally!

This time, she would personally drown those people!

DCEU World!

At that moment, Bruce finally abandoned every trace of wishful thinking.

The Dark Multiverse was filled with such overwhelming despair that its Batmen were destined to invade the positive worlds!

This war was completely unavoidable!

DC Prime Universe, Apokolips!

Darkseid sneered.

He did not care about these laughable threats!

Darkness had only one master.

Him.

And it could only ever be him!

Furthermore, his alternate selves had killed countless versions of the Flash and Green Lantern across other worlds!

What difference did it make if Batman acquired their abilities!?

Before the Anti-Life Equation, all of them were insignificant!

Only the Kryptonian would prove troublesome!

At that moment, the Batman Who Laughs spoke once again.

“Come, Bryce.”

“Allow me to show you who our next miserable victim will be.”

The world suddenly fell into darkness. Only when the stars lit up once again did a new blue planet emerge…

This was Earth Negative One!

Gotham—or rather, what had once been Gotham!

The city had been reduced to ruins. Batman stood below, gripping a Kryptonite spear as he glared furiously into the sky!

Upon seeing the familiar weapon, Barry Allen’s heart trembled as an unbelievable thought appeared!

No way…

Had Superman done this!?

How was that possible?

Batman did not understand how everything had become like this!

One year earlier, without any warning whatsoever, Superman became cruel and terrifying. He began indiscriminately attacking every superhero!

Was it an abnormality in the sun?

Darkseid’s Anti-Life Equation?

Mister Mind?

Or some new Kryptonite compound created by Lex Luthor?

The entire Justice League spent dozens of days searching for an answer because no one believed this was the real Superman. Something had to be controlling him!

After all, he was the greatest and most outstanding among them!

Everyone even believed that if they could defeat him, they could still save the world!

But when Superman killed Lois, the final hopes within countless hearts were shattered!

Whatever the explanation might have been, Superman had already become a demon. Bruce finally abandoned all hope of saving him!

On the beach.

Bruce was not concerned that the Superman of his own world would fall into darkness without reason.

What was happening before them was probably the result of the Dark Multiverse’s twisted nature.

What truly concerned him were the possible causes that had just been mentioned!

Who was Darkseid!?

The Anti-Life Equation sounded like something incomparably dangerous!

And he could not understand what sort of creature Mister Mind was!

As for Lex Luthor, Bruce had never imagined that lunatic might be capable of going this far!

It appeared that he truly could not allow Luthor to remain free!

At that moment…

During the brief instant that Batman became distracted, a crimson beam of heat vision instantly severed the arm holding the Kryptonite spear!

Superman floated in the air and looked down with a sneer.

“Whenever members of the Justice League speak privately, they always claim that if we fought one-on-one and you were truly serious, I would never be able to defeat you.”

“Hah. I honestly have no idea what those idiots were thinking.”

“All I need to do is kill you before you have time to prepare.”

“Isn’t that right…”

“Bruce?”
