"The signs of disaster began with an invasion that wasn't anything special."
Brucie sat at the dining table, elegantly cutting the steak in front of her with the knife and fork in her hand. She put the food into her mouth, chewed it slightly, and sent it into her stomach. The delicious taste that she had not tasted for a long time whetted her appetite. As she told her story, she ate faster.
However, this lady had obviously undergone excellent aristocratic etiquette training. Although she ate quickly, she did not feel like she was wolfing down the food. On the contrary, her actions were filled with a special elegance. Together with her face that was illuminated by the sun, it formed a very perfect picture.
Just looking at it was enough to delight the eyes.
"My world, in your words, is a feminist world. From the moment it was born, it developed a unique civilization. The leaders of each country are wise and brave women. And I … I am the heir of the Gotham Empire, the Queen of Gotham, and the last queen of human civilization."
Brucie tasted the slightly sour wine in her mouth. She paused and continued.
"Our world doesn't have these messy heroes, and there are not many disputes. Overall, we are in the Middle Ages, but our science is not worse than your world …"
"Wait, it's their world!"
Saber picked up the wine glass and swirled it in his hand. He said softly, "I'll be frank. I'm not from this world … This world is rotten!"
"Yes, from my point of view, it is rotten!"
Brucie agreed with Saber's opinion, which was rare. She put the last piece of steak into her mouth and said to the succubus beside her.
"Get me some soup!"
The succubus quickly scooped the soup for Brucie. She picked up the spoon and began to taste the soup. After a comfortable taste, she continued to tell her story.
"In my world, the biggest threat is the sea … The kingdom of Atlantis is hidden deep under the Seven Seas. They do not have many thoughts about the human world, but the desire to conquer surged in their hearts. Every one of their kings would start a war against the land. Unfortunately, in the last war, they chose my Kingdom of Gotham as the breakthrough point."
The bowl of soup was quickly emptied in Brucie's mouth. She touched her stomach and still felt that she was not full. She looked at Saber a little embarrassedly. The latter shrugged.
"Another lunch for the lady … A warrior should have an appetite that matches her strength. This is not something to be ashamed of. Anyway, continue your story. I'm listening."
"Alright, I'll continue."
Brucie sighed. "There's nothing much to say about the course of the war. The attacks of the Atlanteans continued, but my country was not to be trifled with. We fought for three months, and both sides could not hold on any longer. Therefore, the new king of the Atlanteans, the Sea Queen named Arthur, requested to negotiate with me. The location was outside Gotham … I knew that she was unwilling to fail just like that. She must have arranged some tricks.
"The moment I stepped onto the beach, her guards surrounded me. These despicable Atlanteans never knew what credibility was. They tried to assassinate me. They had always been so crazy, so cruel, and so disgusting!"
Bang!
The spoon in Brucie's hand was crushed into a pile of metal scraps. A ghastly ferocity flashed across her beautiful face. She looked at Saber and said softly,
"So, in that battle, I redefined … brutality for them!
"With the armor and exquisite martial arts left behind by my ancestors, I killed every one of them! Including their terrified new king. I used her weapon, the trident that symbolized the King of the Seven Seas, to pierce her heart! That was a victory!
"At least, I think it was a victory …"
The warm and fragrant main meal, a perfectly roasted turkey, and a fragrant royal pizza were served. After telling her story, Brucie, who was in an emotional state, no longer maintained her elegant style. She picked up the table knife beside her and quickly cut the turkey in front of her into slices with exquisite skills. As she continued with her lunch, Brucie finished the second half of the story.
"After losing their new king, the flames of war in Atlantis finally ignited. They attacked every country crazily, but the dispersion of their power ushered in the end of their defeat. Our world is not weak. We are very strong … However, when those despicable b * stards saw that the war could not continue, they did something evil that made one's hair stand on end!"
Brucie chewed on the turkey bone in her mouth, as if she was tearing apart the painful memories of the past.
"They risked everything and launched a great flood … It was a disaster. The howling sea completely drowned that world, and the first to be drowned … was my country. The wails of my people before they drowned made me feel despair and pain, but I couldn't help them. I couldn't save them … The only thing I could do was to avenge them!"
Bang!
The fork stabbed into the stone table fiercely. Only the skeleton of the turkey was left in front of Brucie's eyes. She reached out and took the plate of pizza, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
"I knew very well that humans could not fight against those sea people in the water, so I modified myself … for revenge! I extracted the genes of their female Sea King, Arthur, who I killed with my own hands, and fused them with mine. Although I lost a lot, in the end, I became the new Revenge Bat … Just like the black bat engraved in my family emblem, I used their treasures as weapons …
"I gathered the humans who survived the great flood. I injected them with the same genes and transformed them into my Dead Water Army … That world was drowned by the flood, and everything was gone. The despicable Atlanteans took everything away, leaving only revenge for us …
"There's nothing much to say about what happened after that …"
Brucie put the last piece of pizza into her mouth. She picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, officially ending her story.
"We killed them all. All the Atlanteans … Not a single one was left! In the ruins of the world and their corpses, we rebuilt a humble civilization. I was the last queen of that civilization … I called myself the Drowned Soul. I knew that the end of that world was coming. My country and I would be the last symbol of civilization in that world. We were struggling at death's door in the dead sea. I thought that would be the end of everything. "
She glanced at the only grilled fish left on the table, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face.
"I hate fish!"
"So, Barbatos appeared? On the eve of your world's destruction? "
Saber was indeed attracted by this story, but he was not intoxicated by Brucie's revenge. Instead, he was fascinated by the faint truth behind the story. He felt that he was only one step away from the truth of this strange world.
"He didn't appear in person. As you know, we are just insignificant people …"
Brucie held a cup of dessert and tasted it as she said, "It was dusk. Yes, it might have been midnight. There was no light in our world. No one knew the exact time, and no one cared about that. In short, there was a problem with the bat lighthouse I set up for the end of the world. It stopped operating, so I went to fix it personally.
"When I surfaced, I saw the Laughing Bat. Yes, that disgusting pervert … He came from another world. There, he killed the Joker as a Batman, but he was infected by the Joker's laughter virus. In the end, he turned into a mixture of the two. He was a complete lunatic. He sat beside my lighthouse and told me that I had been recruited. We, the Batman of the dark world, would carry out a mission of destruction as a group."
Brucie put down the empty dessert cup. She rubbed her flat belly with satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry.
"That lunatic promised me that as long as we could overturn this world of light, my world would welcome a new life in the name of Barbatos."
"Then, did he tell you the relationship between this so-called world of light and your dark world?"
Saber asked. Brucie hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Laughing Bat didn't say much.
"The Laughing Bat did not say much. He only told me that our world is not real, that it is merely a fragment of a choice made by the Batman of the World of Light. We represent the evil hidden in Batman's heart … and the Dark Multiverse is the embodiment of both sides of the Light Multiverse. We exist by attaching ourselves to the Light … and that is why I hate this world so much."
"Its stability is built on the foundation of countless dark multiverse worlds being destroyed. It's like fire and firewood. Only when the firewood is endless will the flame burn … but why? Why should my world be sacrificed? "
Brucie walked to the edge of Saber's palace and looked at Gotham thousands of meters below, which was shrouded in sunlight. A cold tear fell from the corner of her eye and hit her finger.
"This isn't fair! I've risked my life to protect my world from being destroyed. I've avenged my world. In the end, what right do they have to enjoy all this with a clear conscience? What right do they have to do all this as they please … Is it because they were born this way?
"How ironic … we've worked so hard to live … Fate, this damned fate!"
Her painful struggle did not catch Saber's attention. The latter narrowed his eyes, his mind spinning rapidly. The truth of this world had appeared before his eyes. Darkness and light, two sides of the same coin. Barbatos had sent out warriors to overturn the light world … which meant that as long as he protected this world, or defeated the darkness, he would win!
That was the answer to the riddle! It sounded simple …
Seiber furrowed his brows. Although everything was explained, he could sense that the problem wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"My story is over …"
Brucie turned and looked at Saber calmly.
"Come, execute me … Thank you for letting me relive the beauty of being a human before I die … and thank you for letting me die as a human …"
"Wait!"
Saber opened his eyes and looked at Brucie. "Things don't seem right … Barbatos wants to overturn the civilized world, and he only sent the seven of you here? Look, I only need a breath to kill all of you easily. If he's really as cunning as the legends say, I'm afraid he still has a backup plan, right? "
"The Maniacal Bat controls all operations. I don't know what he's thinking, but he mentioned a word many times … metal," Brucie said softly.
"He seems to be looking for some special metal to open the barrier between light and darkness, to release the destroyed fragments of darkness that are filled with hatred towards light into this world, and finally overturn Order … It's the darkness of the entire multiverse. I think that's his backup plan."
"Very good! Thank you for telling me everything, Ms. Brucie. "
Saber nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes paused on Brucie for a moment. "But that's not enough. I need you to do something for me, Batman. My cells are growing in your body, and the Sea King's genes can no longer affect your mind. You'll be a very good spy … Yes, I'm sure of that!"
"But why? Why should I be your spy? "
Brucie's lips curled into a nonchalant smile. "I have nothing to lose."
"But you still have hope, little girl … This is a gamble. The existence of your world is built on an illusory foundation, and the truth is something you can never accept … You only need to know that if I win, even Barbatos will have to fulfill my wish …"
Saber leaned back in his seat confidently and looked at Brucie.
"Do you know what this means? Little girl … and do you think I have to lie to you? "
"You see, the only path of hope has opened before your eyes … I'm just very suspicious now. If you really love your world as much as you say and are willing to give up everything for it, what can you give me in exchange for this only hope?"
Struggle. Struggling emotions rippled in Brucie's heart. She gritted her teeth and looked at Saber's face, trying to discern even a hint of a joke from it, but there was none … Batman's unique instinct told her that Saber was telling the truth.
After a moment, she took a deep breath and raised her swan-like neck high, revealing her exquisite collarbone.
"Alright, if that's the case …"
Swoosh.
The robe on her body slid down, and her perfect body was exposed in front of Saber without any disguise. She looked at the expressionless Overlord and respectfully half-knelt on the ground.
"I'm willing to give up everything … everything for this!"
Seiber placed his finger on her chin and lifted her head. He looked at her eyes, looked at her face, and looked at her perfect body. He said softly in a playful tone, "Don't worry, I'm not going to give you a chance.
"Oh? Really? "
