Until now, Saber still did not know what the winning condition of this gamble was, but he could feel that he was only one step away from the final riddle.
The weak space civilizations had been forced to leave the battlefield of the Great Divine-Infernal War. Even the powerful starship fleet of the Spartan Star Empire was as weak as ants before the silent fleet of the universe's undead awakened by Saber.
The cosmic death tide that Thanos stirred up with the soul gem gave Saber new inspiration. In terms of power level, everything that Thanos could do with the soul gem, Saber could do with the Black Lantern Ring.
The situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed. The shards of the dark Multiverse that had surged out of the world rift, the endless legions that Babatos had conscripted amidst the incessant destruction of worlds and collapse of civilizations, as well as the dark warriors that had pushed back the civilization coalition, were now drowned by the frightening legions.
Saber had never thought of using his own power to end the tide that Babatos would eventually bring. From the moment he entered this world, all the preparations he had made were for this moment.
He had already seen it clearly. In this timeline world that was specially designed for gambling, the civilizations of the universe existed in a narrow state. This universe was weak, but in contrast, the dark multiverse that was associated with the world of light would naturally be weak as well. This was the balance of the scales.
Even Babatos, who had entered this gamble, could not make the dark multiverse's power double out of thin air. Under such circumstances, there was hope for victory in a battle of numbers. The army that he built would block Babatos' army on the battlefield of the world furnace, and the time that he earned would be used to fight Babatos head-on.
Yes, at the last moment, all the schemes were meaningless. Now was the time to swing his fist and decide the fate of the universe.
To be honest, he did not hate this way of winning. In fact, he was very good at winning in this way.
Bruce Wayne's body that was filled with darkness was stretched to the extreme, floating above the dark battlefield of the universe furnace. The door that was hidden in the deepest part of the Wayne family bloodline, passed down from generation to generation, had been opened. A passage that connected the dark and light universes was opening. This was a difficult and slow process. To open Babatos from the ancient seal, this process was irreversible.
Hum!
Saber's hand pierced into the space that connected Batman and the dark energy. The pressure from the surroundings began to swarm and try to crush his fingers, but this power was not enough. As the light rings on his fingers flashed, his left hand pressed on Bruce Wayne's unconscious shoulder.
"Come out!"
Pa!
In the ongoing ritual, the area shrouded in pure darkness collapsed under the command of the space stone. Saber's hand pulled outward and pulled Bruce out of the area with some difficulty.
He looked at Bruce Wayne, who was in his hand, and looked up at the sky. The opened door did not disappear. In other words, after gathering the five metals and opening the door, Batman had lost its effect. Even the space stone that controlled all space could not affect the opening of this door.
"What a pity …"
Saber shook his head. He originally planned to use this method to save Bruce and interrupt the process of unsealing Babatos. Although he thought that this risk was not reliable, but … any method that could win was worth a try, was it not?
"I … I'm sorry."
After being pulled out of the dark vortex, Bruce regained his senses. He said to Saber with difficulty, "I, I still released it in the end … I destroyed everything …"
"You don't have to apologize to me, Bruce. For you in this world, there are many things that you can't control."
Saber's gaze did not fall on Bruce. He flicked his finger, and a space tunnel to Earth was opened. He threw Bruce into the tunnel and said softly, "I didn't come here to save you.
"I didn't come all the way here just to save you. You should save your gratitude for others … You lucky fella …"
Bruce's figure slowly disappeared in the collapsed space. At that moment, an angry roar sounded behind Saber.
"Bat! Don't leave! "
"I … No! Allow! Allow! "
The Dragon of Babatos that had been defeated by the hellbat armor had reappeared on the battlefield at some unknown point in time. The Gatekeeper that Babatos had personally lured into the darkness possessed astonishing ability, its colossal body complemented with overwhelming strength and the power from the Dark Multiverse imbued upon its body, allowing it to become the hope of victory for Babatos's side as they retreated repeatedly on the battlefield.
Boom!
It swung its warhammer and slammed it into the formation of Saber's army. The blow broke the surface of the universal furnace and threw the entire demon army into the scorching magma below. It roared and charged towards Saber and Bruce, its crimson eyes glinting with humiliation and hatred. Clearly, it had not forgotten how it was defeated so easily.
This fellow was known as the Dragon of Babatos, so it was naturally powerful. Although it was only the most instinctive of attacks and did not have any superb techniques, its brute strength itself brought about unimaginable destructive power.
The Asgardian army of the dead was almost helpless in front of its tyranny. Even Thor and Odin, who were armed with death, could only barely stop this crazy beast.
Of course, after being killed by Hila and having their origin power absorbed, Odin and Thor had lost the divine power of the golden lightning. They had become weak.
"Let it come!"
Saber's voice was like an order that could not be disobeyed. The army of the dead that had gathered together to overwhelm the Dragon of Babatos immediately dispersed, clearing the obstacles in front of Carter Hall who had fallen into the darkness. At the front of this charging path was Saber, who was floating in the sky, waiting for Babatos's seal to open.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The scorching and broken earth trembled. The Dragon of Babatos held its warhammer and charged toward Saber crazily. Its crazy voice resounded through the sky.
"I am the Dragon of Babatos!
"I am the God of War of Babatos!
"All paths … shall return to darkness!!!"
Hum!
It raised the warhammer in its hand high and smashed it down toward Saber. The destruction and tyranny in its eyes had ignited its pitiful rationality, especially when Babatos was about to descend into this world. The surging darkness in its heart had completely drowned it.
In the end, it set it on a path of self-destruction.
Seeing that its warhammer was about to hit Saber, the Dragon of Babatos roared even more crazily, like a beast that had seen its prey. Its heavy breathing even made the magma blood flowing in its body even hotter. High-temperature steam rushed out of the cracks on its body, making it look even more like a ferocious monster.
Closer! Even closer!
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and this annoying human would be completely smashed! He let go of the opponent that humiliated it, so it would pay with his blood!
Roar!
Before this all-out attack landed, cracks appeared on the ground under the terrifying pressure. However, just as it was about to land, it strangely stopped above Saber's head.
It was a finger. The warhammer, which was powerful enough to shatter the earth, seemed to be entangled by invisible chains. It was firmly stopped in the air by the fingertip.
"Bastard! Kneel! "
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Two dull sounds came from the Dragon of Babatos's legs. It was a sharp spatial scythe that cut into its sturdy scales and completely severed its legs.
The destructive light of the war scythe wrapped around Saber's wrist and flashed across the neck of the Dragon of Babatos. In the next moment, a huge head with a golden eagle crown smashed into the ground in the center of the battlefield amidst the magma blood gushing into the sky. In the blood-stained eyes, the crimson light, the hatred, the madness, and the anger gradually dimmed.
The headless beast's body wobbled for a moment before finally collapsing at Seiber's feet. It was like a giant trying to challenge the heavens, only to be completely defeated by the lightning that descended from the heavens.
"You have some power … But you can't even withstand a single blow!"
Saber turned his head and looked at the dark figure that appeared silently in the sky. A smile appeared on his face.
"Finally, there's something to relieve my boredom …"
It was gray with a hint of bone-white radiance. Under the hood that resembled the tattered cloak of the Grim Reaper, there was a face shrouded in darkness. His expression could not be seen clearly, but there was a will of existence that lingered over this figure. Behind his back was a pair of wings that were filled with darkness. In his hand was a dark and ferocious scythe. The place where he stood was rapidly collapsing. In the confrontation between light and darkness, a collision of annihilation was rapidly spreading outwards from the singularity at the center.
In the chaos after the destruction, a darkness that was completely opposite to the light in the present world was rapidly growing.
"I am Babatos, the ruler of the darkness …"
Swoosh!
He pointed the dark scythe in his hand at Saber, who slowly floated up to the same level as him. He said softly,
"Lord Gao lied to you, child … According to my estimation, your chances of survival … are 0!"
— — —
"Okay, the big shots have started their war!"
In a hidden location, the Laughing Bat excitedly rubbed his hands together and tore away the illusion of the World Furnace in front of him. The battle between the two of them was shocking even if it was only seen through the projection. He turned to the other four bats and said, "Let's go!"
"Here's our chance! Send the N-metal to Earth, and we'll push it into darkness … No matter who wins or loses this battle, we'll get our reward in advance … "
He opened his arms and shouted like a madman, "We'll get a new world! A world where we can do whatever we want! "
"No! I refuse! "
A cold voice interrupted Laughing Bat's declaration. Sitting in the darkness, Brucie leaned on her trident and said in a deep voice,
"We'll get our new world … But there's no place for a madman like you in that world!"
"Aha!"
Laughing Bat was not surprised by this rebellion. His strange spiky crown that covered his cheeks and eyes turned to Brucie, and he said in a playful voice,
"I've said it before, there's a traitor among us … My dear undersea girl, you've finally chosen to leave your most trusted companions, haven't you?"
"I didn't betray the oath we made in the beginning!"
Brucie stood up from the darkness and walked out bit by bit. At this moment, her ferocious appearance had returned to its noble and beautiful state. This scene left the other dark bats dumbfounded.
She looked at her companions and said in a deep voice,
"Red Death, Ruthless Wargod, Killing Machine … and me. The reason why the four of us joined Babatos's damned knights is to save the world we destroyed. We're willing to give up everything for it! But what about you? Laughing Bat … I don't believe that in the new world we built with great difficulty, you'll be an honest guardian or civilian … "
"You built the new world with great difficulty just to satisfy your disgusting pleasure. You just want to destroy it again!"
Brucie's gaze swept across the eyes of the other three dark bats, and she said softly,
"My friends, no one knows the Laughing Bat's behavior better than us … Do you want to wait until the new world is built before you think of a way to get rid of this unstable factor?"
"Think about it! Our world was destroyed by external forces. Before that, we tried our best to protect it! But only the Laughing Bat, the Ravager, and the Lantern of Dawn's world … were destroyed by them with their own hands! "
"From the beginning … we weren't on the same side as them! The game of pretending to be friends should end! "
Swoosh!
Brucie's two golden tridents pointed at Laughing Bat. "It's time to get rid of the most dangerous hidden danger!"
Zeng!
Ruthless Wargod Batman also pointed his sharp blade at Laughing Bat. A muffled voice came from under his war helmet. "Unfortunately, Laughing Bat, I think what Brucie said makes sense! In the world that is destined to be protected by my power, there is no place for you! "
Red Death and Killing Machine were a little hesitant, but their hesitation had already explained everything … In this scene of internal fighting, Laughing Bat was forced into a corner by his two companions, but he did not panic. His hands swayed and pulled out several chains. He whispered with a hoarse laugh.
"Is that so? I also think that Undersea Girl's words make sense, but the problem is, even if we have enough N-metal, it's only enough to push Earth into darkness. So, here's the problem … There's only one world, but there are five Batman's … Then, in this future world, who has the final say? "
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Red Death's hands were wrapped with the power of [Lightning Speed]. One of his hands was aimed at the Laughing Bat while the other was aimed at Brusie. The others were the same. The five of them instantly fell apart. They all became villains who wanted nothing more than to kill each other.
Well, there's no problem. They were villains to begin with …
In this situation where they were hostile to each other, Brucie suddenly sighed.
"To be honest, I really don't want to use this method … After all, we have fought together, but … Overlord is right. You are not trustworthy comrades … Then, I can only invite my new friend … to come out!"
Swoosh!
At this moment, the door of darkness opened in this hidden place. The sound of galloping hooves was accompanied by a cold voice. A dark army was approaching quickly. A vicious smile appeared on Brucie's beautiful face. She stared at the Cackling Bat and said softly, "Let's go.
"Overlord asked me to say hello to you … He said, Laughing Bat, your luck might … not be as good as you think!"
