The Death Knell

Chapter 2340 Crisis Energy

The conference room was brightly lit, and the giant lamp set above the big round table even made people feel a little warm, but at this time, the silence spread with a chill.

"Well, I can't keep up with this course. Who should I ask to make up for it?"

Roy, who still loves to be witty, broke the silence first. He raised one hand and expressed his opinion like a primary school student asking questions.

Oliver beside him quickly interrupted Roy's questioning with his other hand, and whispered: "As long as I can understand it, you don't need to know too much. After the meeting, you can do what the Spirit of Existence has given you. Resurrection mission, do you understand?"

"I just want to help. Don't always treat me like a child. Please, Oliver, I'm the same age as Nightwing." Roy rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair with a tired look.

"Who should I compare with, you and Nightwing?" Thinking of Dick's recent situation, Oliver felt helpless and said sincerely: "He had a big hole in his head with a shotgun and lay in bed for half a year. During this time, he even I don’t even know who my soul has changed places with. During the rehabilitation process, I was abducted by a woman and played with. I just came back recently and I look twenty years older, even worse than you."

"Ahem, okay, I'm fine."

Arsenal suppressed a smile and turned his head. Knowing that his best friend was so unlucky, he suddenly felt that Dick was indeed a good brother.

Barry's two fingers imitated a villain walking on the table, a very slow and difficult movement. He took a deep breath: "Deathstroke, please go ahead and explain to us what the definition of 'crisis' is. When I found you, the dog was just eating and I didn't hear anything useful."

Seeing this heartwarming interaction, Su Ming also felt a lot calmer inside. The Justice League is always so interesting.

He cleared his throat, took out a white porcelain jar from his pocket, took out a bottle of Wilson's green tea, poured it in, took a sip, and gently closed the lid.

"Then I'll finish speaking first, don't interrupt me."

"First of all, the multiverse we live in is called the DC main multiverse. It has a dualistic worldview that maintains dynamic balance with polar opposites of power. This should be easy to understand, such as the opposition between heaven and hell, chaos and order, life and The anti-life opposition, the speed force versus the stasis force, etc.”

“These dualistic oppositions are like taut steel wires that set up the framework of the entire universe, weaving it into a constantly rotating and balanced... hamster cage, regardless of the little mouse. Whether you run in it or not, the cage keeps spinning by itself."

Barry signaled that he wanted to speak. He smiled sheepishly and scratched his head: "We are the hamsters, right?"

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are just a speck of dust on a certain hair of a hamster." Deathstroke picked up the cup and skimmed the water with the lid, and took a sip: "You should add the earth plus all human beings as a whole. Consider it a hamster, and there are many such hamsters.”

The Flash stopped talking. His lower lip was bitten into his mouth, as if he couldn't accept this metaphor.

Is it actually dust? So humble!

Su Ming saw that he would not interrupt anymore, so he put down his cup and continued his speech:

"Since it is a cage, the various concepts and energies that make up the framework are actually connected to each other. If any of you are familiar with Sandman, then you will know the information about the Endless Family and their mutual relationships. From that aspect, you can confirm this, Conceptual objects have a human-like appearance, and the connection between them is of course more intuitive."

“Getting back to the subject, the energy and matter that make up the ‘cage’ are conserved. Without the involvement of external forces, a binary system always means one is going down and the other is going up.”

“Some of these energies that are constantly growing or fading are slightly milder in nature, those that are ‘flexible’ and passive in the dualistic struggle. I call them ‘positive energy’, or ‘power of connection’.”

"Such as the Speed ​​Force, the Emotional Spectrum, the Power of Transcendence, etc. They are also connected to each other at a higher level, connecting us with our past, weaving stories, reminding us that this is an epic passed down from generation to generation, you, I, she, we may all die, but our story will not die, it will be recorded, somewhere or in someone else’s memory.”

"In contrast, those who are overbearing in nature and are 'rigid' in the dualistic system, who want to stretch themselves infinitely and make the cage fall apart, I call them 'crisis energy', such as anti-life, chaos magic, power of destruction, etc. wait."

“These forces cause destruction, they are always on the offensive, they represent greed and plunder.”

"The energy of crisis and the power of connection are opposites. The former wants to break the cage and end the story, while the latter restrains the former and jointly writes the story, so the hamster cage spins. When the Laughing Bat first met me , he underestimated me, said some things that I shouldn’t have said, and inspired me. He believed that he was a person who should not be bound by stories, so he has been collecting and enhancing crisis energy in order to smash the cage. , completely becoming the ultimate winner.”

"To achieve this goal, he needs to do three things. First, he must continue to cause various events and continue to shake the stability of the multiverse. Second, he must ensure that everyone else is dead when the story ends. First, he becomes the only protagonist and the real Batman; third, he needs a place to stay after jumping out of the cage to avoid being buried with him."

Having said this, Su Ming paused and drank tea tactically again, in order to give others some time to digest, and at the same time, to allow Batman, who was eavesdropping in the infirmary, to relax a little.

That's right, apart from the underground dormitory areas, the Hall of Justice is full of surveillance equipment and program backdoors left by Batman. Even if he is currently on the operating table, undergoing the pain of drilling bones without anesthesia, it will still not delay him. Eavesdrop on the meeting here and think about it.

Barry can probably understand half of what Deathstroke said, because he has memories from before several multi-dimensional reboots.

And Oliver can probably understand half of it because he has this level of logic.

Diana and Roy just sat there and frowned. Just by looking at their expressions, it was clear that they must not have understood. However, these were not important. This information was meant for Batman and the Joker.

Those two are the ones who can truly understand this and come up with a plan.

If the Laughing Bat wants to win, he must not avoid Batman, so Su Ming simply reveals some information and asks Batman to volunteer as bait.

He attacked Laughing once. Whether he killed the madman is another matter. But from the perspective of Laughing's game, Batman's turn is over and it's his turn.

So the next time the Laughing Bat will launch an active attack, it is still unclear who the target will be.

As for whether Batman would have guessed Deathstroke's intention of generously sharing the information? He must have guessed that he would become a bait, but let him do nothing? It was impossible for him to remain indifferent after knowing about the 'crisis energy'.

The Joker has exploited Batman's 'fear' mentality time and time again in the past, and it works really well.

The more Batman worries about something, the more he forces himself to face the triggers of this fear. This is a symptom of his paranoia.
