Chapter 215: Deadpool—Now It’s Time to Fantasize!

As Bruce’s words fell, an aura of ruthless coldness seemed to pour through the screen!

Viewers who had never experienced war suddenly felt themselves suffocating, as though an unstoppable torrent were surging directly toward them!

There was nowhere to escape.

They could only wait to be mercilessly crushed beneath it!

On Mount Olympus, a strange light appeared within Ares’s previously vacant eyes!

He had finally discovered the truth!

This was what true war should be—unrestrained by even the slightest emotion!

War should contain nothing but death and iron, flames and slaughter!

At that instant, Ares was astonished to discover that the divine power within his body had begun growing purer!

He was initially overjoyed, but a bitter smile soon appeared on his face.

He was the God of War, yet it had taken a human to teach him the true nature of warfare!

However, any resentment he might have felt had already disappeared.

This Batman was indeed far more suited to wielding the authority of the God of War.

Ares would not deceive himself, nor would he stubbornly refuse to admit it!

A.R.G.U.S.!

Concern appeared on Amanda Waller’s face!

Compared to the Dawnbreaker, the Red Death, and the others, the Batman who had transformed into the embodiment of merciless war was even more terrifying!

After all, invasion was fundamentally an act of war!

That meant the Merciless might grow even stronger during the coming conflict!

The scene gradually darkened until a new world illuminated the screen!

Earth—Universe Negative Forty-Four.

It was that same night once again, and that same unfortunate couple was murdered!

Bruce Wayne became an orphan.

However, his personality did not become twisted because of the tragedy. Under the care of his butler, Alfred, he grew into Gotham’s righteous knight!

DCEU World.

Bruce froze.

This world did not appear particularly dark, and his alternate self’s experiences were almost identical to his own.

Under such circumstances, he could not understand what might cause this Batman to fall into darkness.

But in the next second…

Something horrifying occurred!

Inside a dark corner of Gotham, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Bane, and Two-Face captured Bruce’s butler, Alfred!

They brutally tortured the elderly man, attempting to force him to reveal Batman’s whereabouts!

Yet no matter how cruel they became, Alfred continued insisting that he knew nothing about Batman!

Killer Croc greatly enjoyed the torture, but Bane, whose body resembled that of a biologically enhanced superhuman, quickly lost patience!

He lifted the elderly man high above his head and violently brought him down across his raised knee, breaking his spine and killing him!

Outside the screen, Bruce felt a phantom pain in his own back, as though he had once again experienced the injury Bane inflicted upon him years ago.

But at that moment, what enraged him more was that they had not even spared an elderly man!

Those pieces of Gotham filth possessed absolutely no limits!

Beside him…

Concern appeared in Clark’s eyes.

Bruce’s expression had become frighteningly dark. He might do something even he had never imagined himself capable of.

This was merely the butler of another universe, yet Bruce was already so furious.

If something like this happened to the Alfred of their own world…

Clark did not dare imagine the result.

After witnessing so many fallen versions of Batman, he had inevitably begun to worry.

When this man descended into darkness, he did so more violently than anyone else.

Not a single alternate version of Clark had survived!

For now, Clark could only hope that the Bruce of a normal universe would never become like them.

Gotham.

Harley, with her pink-and-blue twin ponytails, pouted unhappily.

Was this not blatant damage to her reputation!?

She had no interest in torturing an old man. The generation gap alone made it boring!

Besides, only her Puddin’ enjoyed playing with the little Bat.

She had no interest.

Fine…

She was somewhat afraid of him.

Especially that square jaw.

It looked far too serious!

Bruce’s cheeks became gaunt, and he appeared to have aged more than a decade.

Inside the Batcave…

He repeatedly replayed the recording of Alfred’s murder!

“You… You could have explained what Batman was to me.”

“I think I could have done something to help you.”

Those were Alfred’s final words. They echoed endlessly through Bruce’s mind, making his heart ache so badly that he could barely breathe.

Superman urged Bruce to stop watching. Replaying the footage would only worsen his mental state and accomplish nothing.

But Bruce raised his bloodshot eyes and asked:

“Accomplish nothing?”

“Let me tell you what accomplishing nothing looks like, Clark!”

“The man who raised me like a father was tortured beyond recognition!”

“Thirty-six bones in his body were broken. Can you imagine what they did to him!?”

“And where was I when it happened!?”

Bruce was overwhelmed by guilt and blamed himself for everything.

Hearing this, the members of the Justice League sighed and departed.

They had no way to comfort him and could only hope that time would heal Batman’s wounds.

But that very night, Bruce approached Cyborg!

He wanted to use a previous scan of Alfred’s consciousness to create an artificial intelligence!

Cyborg initially intended to refuse.

But Bruce pleaded with him:

“I need your help, Victor.”

“He was like a father to me.”

Cyborg remembered his own deceased father. His heart softened, and he eventually agreed.

His core contained the necessary knowledge. Creating the program would not be difficult.

Marvel EU World.

Excitement appeared in Tony Stark’s eyes!

A super artificial intelligence!

Was that not exactly what he intended to create!?

He had never expected Batman to share the same idea!

As the most intelligent individuals in their respective universes, it was only natural that great minds would think alike.

This would also give Tony the perfect opportunity to observe the results!

Several months later, Cyborg helped Bruce complete the artificial intelligence.

It was named the Alfred Protocol.

The elderly butler had been “resurrected.” His form, appearance, and voice were almost identical to Alfred’s, with the only difference being the material composing his body.

It continued fulfilling Alfred’s responsibilities as a butler and cared for Bruce in his daily life.

At the same time, it possessed tremendous power and assisted Batman in his mission!

In barely a dozen days, Gotham’s criminals had been completely eliminated!

Everything appeared to have become better.

Seeing this, Tony immediately became excited!

He had known he was right!

Artificial intelligence was the hope of the world!

Beside him, Deadpool immediately lowered his head submissively and began massaging the wealthy man’s shoulders.

He did not care whether the artificial intelligence was powerful.

As long as it looked realistic, that was enough!

But at that moment, the screen shattered both men’s very different fantasies!

In the darkness of night…

Bone-chilling screams began echoing from within Arkham Asylum!
