Bang!
Barbatos' illusion shattered like a balloon being punctured, producing a dull thud in the gambling house outside the realm. The sound also surprised all the spectating gamblers.
No one would have thought that Babatos, who had the upper hand all the way, would be completely turned around in such a desperate situation. Even a projection was killed. This was really embarrassing.
Barbatos, who was sitting on the gambling table, clenched his fists. Dark energy swelled and howled behind his body, representing the terrible mood of the Lord of Darkness.
It was reasonable that his projection was killed. After all, a large amount of energy was needed to change universes. Placing the projection of a Multiverse bigshot in an incomplete gambling world was also risky. If the projection's power was too strong, it would affect the stability of the fragile world. This thing was actually like a battery. Once the energy was used up, it would be nothing but an empty shell.
Therefore, it was an exaggeration to say that Saber had killed an illusion of the Multiverse. Even if he didn't do it, Barbatos' illusion would naturally collapse due to lack of energy. Regardless, this act of adding a final blow before death was like a slap to Barbatos' face.
"You lack reverence for the sacred process of Genesis, Barbatos!"
Gao Tianzun pretended to hold the cigar in his hand and puffed out a mouthful of thick smoke. His expression was calm, but he couldn't hide the smugness and joy in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice, "You treated this world as a joke, but it stood together with Saber and gave you a real 'surprise'!"
"Hehe."
The darkness hidden under Barbatos' hood was surging with disdain and coldness. He looked at Gao Tianzun.
"A victor's declaration? Don't be happy too early … You think you've won just because you ignited the world furnace? Stop joking! This isn't an ordinary universe, Gao Tianzun … It's a universe where light and darkness coexist!
"If there's too much darkness, the universe will completely cool down, and all things will die. This is the end of all things in the general sense.
"But if there's no more darkness and only light is left, the entire world will burn, and in the end of the flames, it will completely descend into eternal silence!
"I've said it before … All things in the world will return to … darkness!"
Bang!
A crisp sound came from his hand, as if he had forcefully torn something off. This action infuriated Gao Tianzun and the Collector. The two of them stood up from their chairs and pointed at Babatos.
"Are you planning to flip the table in anger? You bastard! "
Facing this accusation, Babatos was even more imposing. He also stood up from his chair, and the energy he emitted was not inferior to the two universe elders opposite him.
"I am the Lord of the Dark Multiverse, just as my projection was the controller of the Dark Multiverse in the world of the wager. He has vanished, slain by your warriors. Without the restraint of the rules, is it not normal for the Dark Multiverse to crumble and vanish?"
"You think he saved the world? No … His rude behavior will cause this world that is destined to be destroyed to die even more miserably! "
"The calamity of light is coming! There could only be one winner in this bet! And that can only be me! "
The flow of time in the Outer Realm and the Inner Realm was different. As the big shots in the Outer Realm rolled up their sleeves and quarreled without any dignity, the time in the Inner Realm had quietly dispersed. It had been three days since the world furnace was ignited. The order of the wager world seemed to have returned to normal, at least on the surface.
In fact, Saber was struggling with something, something very important.
"Babatos has already perished, and the destruction of the world has been stopped. Why hasn't Gao Tianzun announced the end of the wager?"
Saber sat on his stone throne. He supported his face with his left hand and looked at the calm sky above with a gloomy expression.
"Or am I going to be trapped here until the end of the world? Or is the wager not over yet? I haven't reached the victory condition yet? "
"Damn it!"
This was like solving a puzzle with great difficulty, only to find a new maze in front of him when he reached the exit of the maze. It was extremely depressing.
"Overlord! Something happened! "
Just as Saber was frowning at the new puzzle, the voice of Dark Space Overlord Arvette suddenly sounded in his mind. Saber blinked, and his body instantly disappeared from the mountain peak.
There were no clues in a peaceful life. Only when a crisis erupted could one find the opportunity to end everything. Crisis and imagination symbolized the arrival of an opportunity.
Hum!
Saber's figure appeared on the Rock of Eternity at the center of the universe. After everything was over, this place was treated as a special place. A group of strange people who did not belong to this world were planning some dark things here.
"Welcome, Your Excellency! Overlord! "
Brucie Wayne stood in front of Saber and bowed respectfully. Behind her were three metal cages hanging in the air. Killing Machine Batman, Red Death Batman, and Ruthless War God Batman were trapped in the metal cages like captured beasts. They were the losers of the internal strife, but Brucie, the winner of the internal strife, did not kill them.
Obviously, she still felt that they were of some use.
As for the dangerous Cackling Bat, he was completely killed in the infighting three days ago. Brucie chopped off his head with her own hands, and destroyed his body with N metal blades that were highly effective against dark creatures, ensuring that he would never be resurrected.
The guy who smiled and said that he was very lucky in front of Saber. It seemed that luck did not favor him in the end.
"What happened? Brucie? "
Saber glanced at the huge amount of N-metal piled up in the hall and asked softly, "Aren't you trying to return to the Dark Universe and rebuild your world? Why are you still staying in the Light Universe? "
The dark Batman collected N-metal all over the world to push Earth into the Dark Universe. While realizing their hatred and revenge, they also rebuilt their destroyed world. But now, it was obviously impossible to throw Earth into the Dark Multiverse. But Saber gave her special permission to find a suitable planet in the universe, and with Arvette's help, she could use the N-metal to distort the world's rules and rebuild the world in her memory.
Without Barbatos' obstruction, this was not a difficult goal to achieve. The N-metal itself had a special rule of supremacy. As long as it was used correctly, it was actually very easy to rebuild the world.
"That's the problem … Overlord."
Brucie's expression was a little anxious. She led Saber into the depths of the Rock of Eternity. In front of the two was a dark projection of the universe dotted with bright stars.
"The Dark Multiverse is collapsing as if it can no longer maintain its existence. Look! Look at those stars in the darkness! "
Brucie pointed at the rapidly changing projections in front of her. Seiber immediately noticed that the stars were vanishing at an abnormally fast speed. Often, in the blink of an eye, a large star jade that was gathered together would completely vanish, leaving behind chaos and emptiness. Brucie Wayne said in horror,
"The Dark Multiverse itself is filled with a sinister and destructive presence. The celestial bodies within it were destroyed and reborn more than ten times faster than the Radiant Universe because it was born from the choice of the Radiant Multiverse. But now, the celestial bodies are being destroyed even faster … and yet, there are no celestial bodies reborn to match it!"
"In the past twenty-four hours, one-fifth of the stars in the Dark Multiverse have disappeared, and its edges are crumbling. It's rejecting my return, it's disintegrating! And the Light Universe's overall temperature is also rising … without the cooling from the darkness, this world is being ignited! "
"I'll go take a look at the World Furnace!"
Saber said with a gloomy expression. His body vanished in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already standing outside the stars of the Universal Furnace that he had personally ignited. This time, he could feel the extreme heat emanating from the fully-lit fireball in front of him just by standing in the midst of the stars!
Among the cold stars, the immense heat that was transmitted in all directions caused the vacuum to distort. The surrounding barren worlds were roasted like dark red fireballs. The crust of the planet's surface was ignited, just like the birth of a new star. This … heat was a little abnormal!
Bang!
Saber landed on the surface of the Universal Furnace. The temperature here had already broken through the concept of temperature itself, forming a burning manifestation. Radiance flickered on the surface of Saber's body. He reached out and pressed his hand against the surface of the Universal Furnace.
"Little fellow, what's wrong?"
The Universal Furnace itself had consciousness. Although this consciousness was difficult to describe with words, in the previous battle against Barbatos, when Barbatos attempted to change universes to break Saber's Balance Rule for the second time, it was the Universal Furnace that actively connected Saber to its core, fixing him firmly in the current universe. That was how Saber had the chance to defeat Barbatos.
A surge of consciousness passed through Saber's hand into his mind. The Universal Furnace projected an illusion into Saber's mind.
It was a universe shrouded in endless light. There was no darkness, and everything in the world was being ignited in the increasingly blinding light. Countless worlds were burning as if they were tied to stakes, and wherever the light reached, everything was reduced to ashes …
The ultimate light was also the knell of destruction.
"The Dark Multiverse is collapsing. The balance of the world is broken!"
Saber clenched his fists. He looked at the ignited stars around him, gritting his teeth as he cursed.
"Damned Barbatos, he tricked us!"
The Conqueror stood in the middle of the raging flames. He could feel the fearful thoughts coming from the cosmic furnace beneath his feet. Although this thing had existed for countless times longer than Dobe's lifespan, from the perspective of his own time scale, it was undoubtedly still a child. Towards the impending destruction, it would also feel fear.
"Darkness and light go hand in hand. This is the basic rule of this timeline world. Barbatos took drastic measures. That disgusting bastard, but it's okay!"
Saber breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out his hand and patted the scorching fireball beneath his feet.
He said softly, "Try to control the transfer of heat … If the darkness is no longer there, then we will rebuild the darkness! Don't worry, I already have a preliminary idea. "
The moment he left the cosmic furnace and returned to Gotham, Seiber felt a unique pressure. In the past, he only needed to face all his opponents head-on. The biggest danger he faced was the destruction of Earth's civilization. However, at this moment, the life and death of a new universe was in his hands. This new experience made his vision infinitely magnified.
Even he himself felt how small he was in the past. When he entered the single universe, Phoenix had told him that the road ahead would be unusually exciting. Now, he felt that excitement.
Of course, his decision to save this universe was not out of responsibility. It was more because he did not want to admit defeat to Barbatos. He did not want to see all his efforts go to waste in the end.
This time, standing on the lonely mountain peak in the center of Gotham, he looked up at the sun that was getting brighter. He had an epiphany in his heart.
This was the answer to the riddle … This was the final step of the gamble.
Whether it was the destruction of failure or the new life that symbolized victory, everything was now in his hands.
"Arvette, you might lose your dark space …"
Saber said softly in his mind. "You will lose your power because of this … but perhaps you will gain more."
A cold voice rang in the next moment, as cold as ice.
"Take it away. I don't like it in the first place … but if you want to use dark space to replace the dark multiverse, I can only say that this is far from enough …"
