Chapter 2266: Late Autumn in Jincheng (Forty-Nine)
Bruce is difficult to deal with, but Barbatos still lets him do it because Bruce is not the first Batman Barbatos has come into contact with, and all those in the Dark Universe are masters. ơɱ
The dark sources generally show the following characteristics: they have the ability to pollute light, but they are more willing to flow to areas where dark energy is also enriched. In essence, they present a kind of regional aggregation inertia rather than outward diffusion of pollution.
In other words, if Barbatos wants to pollute the light universe with dark power, it is not like dropping dye into the water, but similar to constantly pushing a shot put. This is actually a heavy and laborious process.
Otherwise, with Barbatos's status, although it is not said that he can capture the entire bright universe, it is still very easy to occupy a few unimportant strongholds in the bright universe itself when there is darkness.
Of course, the actual reason is that when the character of Barbatos was designed, only a senior person with high intelligence and ability accounted for it. The editor could not explain why this character was so awesome but had not done anything for so long before. He is unknown, so he has to wait until the Dark Knights appear to focus on boosting their performance for an explanation.
In the intelligence rating, Barbatos is not ranked high, let alone compared to Brainiac, even there are more than ten Batmans between him and Luthor.
In the ranking of martial arts, transcendent beings like Barbatos, heaven and hell basically do not participate in the ranking. Their characters are relatively vague, and they always use the power of laws and rules. In fact, they are not able to fight hard with fists. Whoever passes, the force value is basically a side description.
The only unique setting is the pollution of the soul, which is quite impressive, but once it is put into the plot, it looks no different from ordinary brainwashing. There is no large-scale pollution operation.
In general, the character of Barbatos is more like a design designed to complete the background of a major event. Not to mention that compared with those orthodox heroes, the fashion value is not even comparable to that of Darkseid.
Because of this, Barbatos has placed his hope more than once in the entire comics, and even in Batman, the most fashionable hero in the entire comics industry. However, due to the enrichment theory of dark energy sources, most of the Batmans in the dark universe have strange shapes.
Batman himself is the source and portal of darkness. The darkness he possesses is more like a direct gift from the editorial department. Therefore, Batman, who lives in a dark universe, is the concentration point of dark power.
As long as the dark power exists in Barbatos, it will continue to be instilled into Batman in the dark universe, but this does not make them stronger, because Batman's strongest thing is his brain, and the dark power can hardly do anything to strengthening their intelligence while keeping their sanity intact.
To put it simply, farmers can only imagine that the emperor uses a golden hoe to hoe the ground. Barbatos, who represents dark energy, is not very smart. How can the energy he represents strengthen a peerless genius that surpasses all universes?
Of course, when talking about this, we have to mention the laughter, but in fact, the laughter has little to do with Barbatos. Barbatos is the old man with a ring who makes his final appearance in the entire origin story.
Although nominally it is because every dark universe has been contaminated by Barbatos' dark energy, Batman will face several tragedies, but there is a saying that the laughing Batman has become what he is now, and he has some natural war. Crazy, Barbatos doesn’t take the blame either.
After all, there are so many dark multiverses, and everyone just comes to you and pulls their hips. Although it is a reverse pull, it is enough to show that Barbatos is not a laughing father at all.
Talking back to Barbatos's previous plan to find the Vanguard Army in the dark universe, he actually found it, but the entire search and selection process can be regarded as an ancient god witnessing the diversity of human species.
Barbatos is not a human being. Although he is an intelligent being and has feelings, it is really difficult for him to understand certain human behaviors.
From his perspective, anyway, Batman suddenly went crazy one day and started killing his friends, relatives, and even all kinds of unrelated people. Then the relatives and friends of the killed people came to take revenge, and the two parties The beating was crackling.
Batman couldn't beat him, so he had to either transform himself or someone else, and the two sides started to scream and insist on colliding with each other. In the end, the entire earth was smashed into a mess, and Barbatos had to clean up the mess for them.
Otherwise, the Batman of the light universe is all white moonlight. If Barbatos wants to invade the light universe, he needs a plan and someone must execute it. However, making and executing plans requires wisdom and action, but the bats of the dark multiverse Most Batman is crazy and does not have these two things at all, but if you want to get a normal Batman, you have to invade the bright universe...
Obviously, it became an endless loop, which is why Barbatos was so happy about Bruce's appearance, and entrusted him with important tasks from the beginning, because you don't care whether this guy has a lot of troubles, at least he is a normal person. .
Barbatos didn't even dare to use his soul pollution on Bruce. Let's not mention that Bruce has angelic status. He is connected to Bruce's soul network. It is very likely that he can call God with just one phone call. Just talk about what he has. The chaos and madness in the dark attribute made him dare not take this risk. What if another one went crazy?
Barbatos could be said to be holding Bruce in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. Although it was annoying, he tolerated it.
So did Bruce make any achievements?
Actually, he did, but not much. Many people may wonder if Bruce's hard work was all in vain? Were all the work reports he sent to Barbatos fake?
This is too much of an underestimation of Batman. All the plans made by Bruce are not only precise and vicious, but also well executed, thoroughly implemented, with rigorous personnel arrangements, scientific methods of work, and full efficiency.
So according to this, Barbatos should be able to reach the Bright Universe soon, but in fact the progress bar was pushed forward and retracted, and Barbatos couldn't find any fault.
This has to mention that when the Doujie beta version was opened, Bruce went to the Doujie resident office and coincidentally met Nick Fury from Schiller's universe.
That's right, it's the same thing with SHIELD and Hydra again.
However, to this day, the wicked fourth power, who has fully exerted his subjective initiative, has improved and developed this system day by day, and even formed a systematic teaching system. The first beneficiary is Bruce.
Who is Bruce? He is Batman. No one in the world can understand things more easily than him. He even transformed the plan on the basis of the wicked fourth power to be more adaptable to local conditions and added many details that they did not notice.
The basis of this theory is actually to create a big scene of the game between good and evil by inviting wolves into the house, greatly increase the consumption of resources on the surface, and take this opportunity to move the five ghosts and burn the warehouse with the fire dragon, so as to divert resources for other purposes.
Then use the diverted resources to create more job opportunities, so that everyone is busy with things that do not exist at all, which can not only drag the evil party to do other things, but also show that they have done a lot in front of the righteous side.
Bruce naturally follows this idea, but the good and evil are reversed. He stands on the side of the owl, and his boss is Barbatos.
Barbatos is equivalent to the Congress that approves funds, the owls are equivalent to the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hydra is naturally the Batman of each universe to resist the owls. Of course, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc. are occasionally introduced to play the role of KGB.
The general operation method is to first use a very detailed and reasonable plan to point out the problems of a certain universe owl. All these problems are real and will be improved after getting the budget.
These budgets will not be embezzled, but will be used in the right way. With Batman's wisdom and execution, the combat power of the owls can be increased by dozens of times in just a few weeks.
The members of the Court of Owls are not vegetarians. The stronger the power, the greater the ambition, and it is inevitable that they will conflict with the justice side. Barbatos also thinks so. Since under the leadership of Batman, the owls have the ability to fight against superheroes head-on, then why not?
I have been frustrated for so many years and secretly transporting energy and pollution. Finally, I have the opportunity to be proud. It’s okay if I can’t beat them in the past. Now that I am so strong, I should get back what I owed in the past.
So Barbatos and the Court of Owls had no objection to coming out in the open, because in their view, it was only a matter of time before they confronted the human order society, and they could not hide forever.
In this way, most of the Court of Owls under Bruce's rule came out in the open and became a world-renowned terrorist organization, which naturally attracted Batman's high attention.
Bruce used a little trick to guide Batman, making him think that the death of his parents was probably caused by the owls - although some of them might be true, those who were not could still be guided by some clever means to make Batman misunderstand.
It was also his own city, and large-scale extreme terrorists might be his own murderers. It was impossible for Batman to ignore it.
Logically speaking, this was an internal incident in Gotham, but it would be strange if Bruce let Batman deal with it so easily. Under his leadership, the Court of Owls was extremely high-profile.
Don't worry about NAZI, Hydra, genocide, alien conspiracy, Hollywood will make whatever it wants. We are evil and unrepentant. If you don't bring a company of superheroes, can you still call it justice?
Such a high-profile result leads to the fact that most of the superheroes with a sense of justice will continue to pay attention to the situation here, and it also makes it impossible for Batman to deal with the Court of Owls completely independently. Once superheroes like Superman enter the scene, it is impossible not to think that the scene is grand.
So the scenes of these universes have become the Court of Owls becoming the most powerful and most powerful villains on earth, and superhero organizations such as the Justice League are working tirelessly day and night to fight against them.
In the game, although a character has become one of the human rights of the current version through a technical change, the difficulty of the dungeon has also been comprehensively strengthened, and the change is equivalent to no change.
And as expected, in most cases, the character technical changes are not for any balance adjustment. The ultimate goal of the manufacturer is only one, that is, to cheat krypton.
