Imagine being in another timeline, where there is no trace of your existence, and everything is no longer the same.
Everything you care about has changed drastically, or even never existed. You have no friends, no opponents, no past. You are alone. In this strange world, no one pays attention to you. Whether you are alive or dead, you are alone. You do not belong to this world, you do not belong to this timeline.
At this time, what will you do?
Will you choose to escape, or will you choose to integrate, or … change it into something you are familiar with?
"You … Who are you?"
Batman looked at the small half of the street that had been completely razed to the ground with a serious gaze. This kind of explosion was unheard of. The large nightclub in front of him was crushed into powder, and the residential houses across the wall were unharmed. There were no traces of a bomb explosion on the ground. All of this happened so suddenly. At least in Batman's senses, all of this should not have existed.
And there was also the black figure standing in the flames. Instinctively, he was frantically warning Batman to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. As time passed, the premonition of danger filled his mind, but he could not leave.
He had been in this city that belonged to him for two years, protecting the city he loved in his own way. He used violence and fear to try to pull the city back on the right track. So far, it seemed to be working well. Although crime could not be eradicated, at least the city would become much quieter every night when the bat lights were on.
There was no gang member who did not fear him, especially after he almost single-handedly stopped the subversive action of the Alliance of Shadow Warriors last year. Batman had become the symbol of darkness in this city. Those who suffered saw him as their savior, and those who had vested interests showed great interest in this vigilante.
"Who am I?"
Saber in the flames said softly, as if he was talking to himself. But soon, his voice became low and ferocious.
"I am the … doomsday of this bad city, this bad world!"
"Lunatic!"
Swish, swish!
Batman saw a trace of burning flames in Saber's eyes, which startled him. He subconsciously flung out his arms, and six sharp bat darts shot towards Saber from six different directions.
But the next moment, Saber's figure suddenly disappeared in the flames, as if he had never appeared. Seeing this scene, Batman's terrible sense of danger made him feel a little suffocated. He subconsciously raised his left hand and stabbed the claw gun in his hand at the roof behind him. His whole body sprang up from the ground, but the moment his feet left the ground, a right hand wearing a golden gauntlet, inlaid with purple and blue gems, and covered with rings of different colors pressed on his shoulder.
"What are you trying to do?"
The manic voice became gentle, as if it was talking to an old friend, but that power seeped into Batman's mortal body and forcibly imprisoned him on the ground.
"Didn't we have a good chat? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? "
The voice rang in Bruce Wayne's ears, with a kind of hypnotic magic that made his consciousness chaotic at this moment, but the next moment, his eyes became clear again. But unfortunately, in the face of this power that was at least three levels higher, he was as weak as a bug.
Fate was no longer in his hands.
"Come! Let's see this city! "
Cyber's hand rested on Batman's shoulder like an old friend. He looked back at the burning harbor and said softly, "Let's go, Batman. Let's go.
"There's no Pops here …"
Buzz!
The space around the two of them shattered, and Batman's vision became chaotic, but the next second, the scene in front of him became clear again. They were standing in the sky above Narrow Island. Saber stared at the dark and chaotic streets below emotionlessly. It was no different from the terrible Narrow Island in his memory.
"There's no Catherine here either …"
Boom!
The moment Saber's figure disappeared, the Heavenly Fire that fell from the sky engulfed the dark and rotten streets below. Just like the nightclub of Jamie's gang, it was crushed into powder by the raging flames in an instant.
Swoosh!
The two of them once again appeared outside an underground casino in Lower Gotham. Seiber took a deep breath and turned to look at Batman, who was completely restrained. He said softly, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to face you again.
"There's no Selena here either …"
Boom!
The third Heavenly Fire swallowed everything in front of him in an instant. This made Bruce Wayne's eyes widen, and he clenched his teeth. But unfortunately, he could do nothing but watch the destruction.
"There's no Kevin and Lewis here either …"
Boom!
The sky of the Western District was also dyed red by the raging flames. Batman's body began to tremble from extreme anger, but he could not resist. He could only watch as the city he protected was trampled on by a madman.
In a flash of light, the two of them appeared in front of the Gotham Police Station again. Saber's expression had become calm, as if the flames he scattered with a wave of his hand were the most normal flashes in the sky. He pointed his finger forward and said softly,
"There's no Robin here …"
Buzz!
The familiar flames once again smashed down from the sky, but at this moment, a familiar young man in a police uniform pushed open the door of the police station and walked out. Saber's eyes suddenly narrowed. His fingers curled up, and the flames in the sky instantly turned into sparks and dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
"Look, there's Robin here …"
He turned around and smiled at Batman, whose eyes were already bloodshot. "Even if he doesn't know me, but … this warms my cold heart a little."
"This city isn't completely hopeless … Wait, why do you have such an expression?"
Saber looked at Batman behind him in surprise. He could feel undisguised hatred and anger from those eyes. He tilted his head and looked at Bruce. After a moment, he showed an expression of realization.
"Sorry, I forgot … I sealed your movements. You can't speak. I'm sorry, this is my mistake."
Smack!
With the sound of fingers hitting each other, all the shackles disappeared from Bruce's body. He was like a guy who had been hung up for a long time. After regaining his freedom, he fell to the ground. He supported his body with both hands and gasped for air. He looked extremely pathetic.
The black combat boots stopped in front of him. Saber squatted down and looked at Batman's pathetic face. He said seriously, "You hate me.
"You hate me. I can clearly feel it … You hate me for destroying your city."
"I don't blame you, Bruce, because you haven't seen our Gotham. That is a city that has been through many wars but has never fallen. You and I … and many others have been protecting it. You and I … and many others have been protecting it. You and my family live there, a bunch of civilians who are willing to sacrifice everything for it. There are many heroes living there, do you understand?"
"It's a thousand times better than the city you're standing in now!"
"Shut up! Lunatic! "
Batman's legs stomped on the ground. The black blades on his arms popped out from his arms and slashed towards Saber's neck. His body was still shining with blue electricity. That was a high-intensity paralysis device. It was his real trump card.
His eyes were filled with the determination of a warrior and the ruthlessness of an assassin. He already knew how terrifying the existence in front of him was. However, this did not make him hesitate because of fear. In a desperate situation where he could not resist at all, he still swung his fist.
Bang!
This ferocious strike landed right on Seiber's neck. However, the sharp blade that was capable of slicing through steel broke off the moment it came into contact with his skin. The blue electric current struck his body, but it didn't even cause a single ripple on his body.
Batman's heart was completely cold.
However, Saber did not care about this ambush that was destined to fail. He looked at Bruce who was in a daze and said softly, "You never admit defeat.
"The fact that you will never admit defeat is exactly the same as before … but it's a pity that the current you is too weak, Bruce."
"You don't have the strength to match your will. What a pity."
Saber did not care about Batman who was lying on the ground. He walked slowly to the dark street in front of the police station. He opened his arms and sunk his strength into the ground.
Rumble!
The whole of Gotham's ground began to roll. Under the command of Saber's will, it began to reshape into the shape that Saber wanted.
The ground under Saber and Bruce's feet seemed to have been given life. It rolled and rushed into the sky. The original ground shattered and reformed in an instant. The whistling cold wind blew against Bruce's face. Under this power that could change the world, he looked at the surrounding darkness in a daze.
The whole of Gotham's terrain was quickly reshaped. A mountain that reached into the sky was rising under Saber's command. The whole dark city was awakened at this moment. Under the panicked screams of the citizens, the order of the whole city was destroyed in an instant.
This power, this power that Bruce had never seen before, made him feel the strength of the person standing in front of him. It also made him feel a sense of defeat and helplessness that he had never felt before.
"I'm very lonely, Bruce."
Saber's voice sounded thousands of meters high in the sky. He stood on the peak of the reshaped mountain. In the darkness that pierced through the haze of Gotham, he looked up at the cold moon hanging in the sky. He said softly,
"This city, this world, has made me very lonely, Bruce … My eyes have seen the world. It is completely different now. It is so deep in darkness, so rotten, so hopeless. What this world needs is not one or two heroes, it needs a complete cleansing!"
"I will change it into what I remember it to be. It will become a powerful, united, aggressive, and internally stable civilization. Then … I will take it into the stars! Just like what I did in the past … "
He turned around and looked at Batman who stood up silently. He opened his left hand and a black Soul Stone appeared in his hand.
"But I need help, Bruce. There is no one more suitable than you. Come, accept your fate and stand with me … Just like what we did in the past, save Gotham, and then … save the world!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of working with lunatics!"
Batman reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Saber who was like an invincible god in front of him. He got into a fighting stance and said in a deep voice,
"I don't know what kind of godforsaken world you came from, but here … I won't allow you to destroy my city!"
"Get out of Gotham!"
This blunt reply made Seiber's gaze turn dangerous. The spirit stone in his hand suddenly disappeared, and a black scythe appeared in his hand. He looked at Bruce and said, "Let's go.
"You haven't experienced the despair that Joker brought to you. You haven't experienced the pain of being thrown into the Demonic Realm. You haven't experienced the torment of the Demonic God destroying the world. You still can't understand your fate. I'm curious, what gave you the courage and strength to say no to me …"
Saber's lips curled into a cold smile. He reached his left hand behind him and the power of space suddenly exploded.
"Is it him?"
Behind him, a light that pierced through the darkness shone above the lonely mountain range. Superman, who was wearing a blue and red Kryptonian battle robe, rushed down towards Seiber at extreme speed. However, when he was a few thousand meters away from Seiber, the space around him completely shattered at this moment. It was as if transparent glass in the air was crushed by a huge force.
Like thousands of shards of glass reflecting the cold moonlight, Clark, who was caught off guard, was sucked into it, as if he was thrown into a storm of blades formed by spatial rifts.
Bang!
In less than a second, Clark, who was covered in wounds and blood, reappeared in the air. He was thrown at Bruce's feet in a state of near unconsciousness.
The strongest and most fearless warrior in the Justice League was as weak as a child in front of Saber.
He lasted even shorter than Bruce … In just a moment, he was severely injured. Saber didn't even have to do anything.
"Clark!"
Batman bent down to help his companion up, but at that moment, Saber pointed his scythe at the cold ground that was already covered in frost. Blue flames sprang up in the air around Batman and Superman like chains, fixing their bodies in the air.
Saber looked at them, and the blue Ring of Ashes in his eyes glowed.
"Come, my former friends. Let me see this … terrible world again through your souls!"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. Sorry for my rudeness."
Blue flames quickly intertwined behind him, and the blazing Flame Throne appeared in the air. He flicked his finger, and the flame chains that imprisoned the two heroes pushed them in front of Seiber. Looking at the burning eyes, Bruce clenched his teeth. Then, he heard a deep voice in his ears. "You're right. You're right. You're right.
"My name is Saber Hawke. You can call me … Overlord!"
