Chapter 2267: Late Autumn in Jincheng (Fifty)
As the same saying goes, as big as the heart is, the stage is as big as the stage is, and as big as the stage is, the mouth is as big as the budget. The bigger the stall is, the more convenient it is to set up a name. Not only can you get more budget, but it is also easier to check the whereabouts of the budget. More difficult.
Bruce first used various reports to make Barbatos dizzy, and then continued to expand the ambitions of Barbatos and Owl. Finally, a wide variety of clever names with complicated terms brought many dark Energy is diverted to other uses.
Some people may say that Barbatos himself is the source of darkness, and dark energy is part of him. How could he not know where his energy is being used?
In fact, dark energy cannot circulate infinitely, it will also be consumed. As long as you perform some operations to expand the loss, you can unknowingly send the energy that has not been consumed into the black box, allowing Baba to The energy that Toss thought was missing was actually consumed.
Speaking of black boxes, we have to mention Constantine, but in fact, there is still a risk in giving energy to Constantine, because there is no telling which of the wandering Constantine will hit the Court of Owls. Bruce took a more A sound approach.
He had met the Supreme Mage Strange in the fused new city before. Bruce told him at the time that since they were not locals, the mages of the fused Earth were actually more secretive black boxes than Constantine.
And because the old Earth of 616 did not bring the entire universe with it when it came, the mages were effectively disconnected from the source of their power. In addition to the stored energy, they could no longer obtain new energy for performing magic.
So Strange and Bruce, who merged with the earth, hit it off immediately. Bruce lent the black money he had transferred to the mages who merged with the earth, and the mages used this power to help him work.
The job to be done is also very simple, which is to harass the magical forces in various universes, such as hell, the spirit world, and Maia. When the portal is opened, there will be a big fuss. After the completion, you have to save some energy to prove your identity.
"Wait a minute, why do you do this?" When Bruce talked about this, Diana raised questions. She said: "Although hell and so on sound evil, but when they did not take the initiative to attack the human world, they Not an enemy, right?"
Lex snorted coldly and said, "Sooner or later, it will be, because it is obvious that they will never not attack the human world. This group of inhuman creatures are like this."
Clark and Diana looked at each other, obviously feeling that they had been scolded, but they really had no room for rebuttal, especially Diana. She knew how many times a family from Mount Olympus had come to earth to cause trouble.
They looked at Bruce again, obviously because it was impossible for Bruce to let the plan take this step for this reason. Although they knew that Batman was also a human supremacist, it was usually a defensive counterattack rather than extreme extermination of alien life. .
But Bruce looked at Schiller, which also caused everyone else to look at Schiller. Schiller nodded and said, "Well, I always like to prepare for a rainy day, unlike someone who makes his habits known to the world. In the end, we have to deal with the aftermath.”
"How to say?"
"I need someone behind the scenes." Schiller tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips and said, "Don't stare at me. This person is not me and cannot be me."
Schiller discovered from his previous experience in the fighting world that at certain times they made too much noise and had too many onlookers, which led to them spreading the word and giving Schiller some exaggerated names. So much so that a bad habit of preventing fire, theft, and Schiller has arisen in the universe.
Fortunately, Schiller knew very well that intelligent life is forgetful and even more suspicious. Seeing is believing and hearing is false. Most people’s understanding of Schiller actually comes from the hearsay of a few big-mouthed people. I don’t know his abilities, and I haven’t seen Schiller doing anything in person.
This leaves Schiller with a little room for a comeback. As long as there is someone behind the scenes with more solid evidence than him, his case will naturally be overturned. Some people may even doubt whether Schiller is just a cover and is the real one. Is it a target used by the mastermind behind the scenes to divert everyone's attention?
It sounds ridiculous, but Batman would be the first to be so suspicious, because usually Schiller is far away from them, but some things are very close to them, even everywhere.
This was the main reason Schiller chose Barbatos.
Batman is a central pillar of comics, and any character related to him, especially a villain tied to his origin story, is a perfect candidate for the mastermind.
Let alone whether it was Barbatos who influenced Gotham and caused the Waynes to be killed. As long as there is even a slight possibility, Batman will never let go of this mastermind.
Although it seems to be a personal grudge, with Batman's ability, the battle between the two of them will be known to everyone sooner or later. When everyone sees it, the opponent who can be chased by Batman and try his best to defeat is an opponent. Simple role?
All the plans Schiller made were designed for this purpose.
First, Bruce poured dark energy into the lake in the Garden of Eden, which angered Uriel, tricked Barbatos, and asked Michael to temporarily seal the source of darkness in order to silence Barbatos. As I said before, this guy is not very smart, and his secrets are easily revealed as soon as he opens his mouth. Keeping his mouth shut to maintain a sense of mystery is more in line with the image of the mastermind behind the scenes. If he is unwilling to shut up, of course he can only manually mute him.
Then, Schiller personally took action and blew up Constantine's black box, making the demons of hell pay a heavy price. When they followed the clues to find Constantine, they found that the dark energy of Barbatos was the most left in Constantine's body, so Barbatos would definitely become famous among the demons.
The demons could not give up like this. Someone among them must be able to find Barbatos, but the power that isolated Barbatos came from Michael. Michael's combat effectiveness was personally certified by Lucifer, and the demons could not open the barrier he created.
This further strengthened the powerful image of Barbatos. You must know that this time the whole people of hell were boiling. Not only did Azazel, Beelzebub and other old demons come in person, but even the first fallen and Elias, who had been staying at home for thousands of years, ran to the door of Barbatos to check the situation.
As a result, let alone teaching Barbatos a lesson, they couldn't even open the door, and no one could figure out what separated them from Barbatos, just like a file in a computer, and couldn't figure out what a folder was.
After the demon kings of hell dispersed, a rumor began to spread in this vast country, that a powerful being from the depths of darkness was completing his transformation, and when he returned, every part of the universe would return to darkness.
This vague rumor is actually more likely to be recognized by insiders, and coupled with the noncommittal attitude of the major demon kings towards this statement, it is more confirmed.
The demon kings of hell still rule hell with the same belief. In order to compete for the position of Satan, they want to brag about how powerful and evil they are all the time, but at this time they let a mysterious message spread. Anyone with a mind can see that they also want to use this to test the attitude of heaven.
Heaven didn't react, but Heaven almost didn't react to anything, but this time it was surprisingly quiet. People didn't know that it was because Uriel was strict with discipline and almost cut off all the channels for angels to communicate with other realms privately, resulting in almost all angels being silenced, so no gossip was spread.
And the reason why he was able to seal the channels for every angel to communicate with the outside world was that he had to mention Bruce, who had already written the new runes and prayer system. The communication system was built by me, and it was easy to check how many calls you made.
In this way, Barbatos can be said to be famous in the magic world, and some people even asked about Lucifer.
Azazel asked tentatively, and the angel Duma, who had a good relationship with Lucifer, also asked indirectly.
Lucifer was busy looking for God, and Barbatos was no different from an ant to him. He was unlikely to bother to pay attention, but since his friend didn't ask, he told him what he knew.
Lucifer didn't know much about Barbatos, but he was impressed by the Court of Owls. Yes, it was because of Schiller.
So he casually said that he had destroyed the Court of Owls in a certain universe. This was indeed true. Who made the Court of Owls blow up Schiller's car on vacation?
But when others heard this, it was incredible. Lucifer, such a supreme being, had to personally come down to earth to destroy Barbatos's minions. What kind of person must this Barbatos be?
For a moment, the demon kings were also a little scared. They hurriedly blocked the rumor that had been spread before, and decided not to speak rashly before they figured out the situation, so as not to be found by a great being in the dark.
As we all know, any rumor is not credible before the official blockade. If they don't block it, people will at most regard it as a test, but if a certain news is blocked in such a grand and grand manner, the authenticity of this news will be greatly increased.
Hell is also a place where people from the magic world of various universes often come and go. When they learned about Lucifer and the Court of Owls, the demons would also find some of their believers to inquire about the existence of the Court of Owls in human society.
Most of the believers don't know what's going on, so they can only investigate. Most of the magic world is that awesome. A group of wizards want to write "I am a demon believer" on their faces. Such a group of demons and monsters poured into Gotham, and Batman couldn't fail to notice it.
That's right, in fact, it was just a foreshadowing before. No matter whether it is hell or heaven, even if the vigilance against Barbatos is raised, it is just a side dish. Schiller really wants to alert Batman.
Although it is always said that Batman will lose in encounters, it is also followed by a sentence that he will win in non-encounter battles. It's just that Batman is the protagonist. When he wins, people are accustomed to it, but when he loses, it is impressive.
Although it is always said that Crazy Laugh is a nesting doll-type intelligence hero, Batman is not the same when he doesn't fight encounters. "Because I am Batman" is not much worse than "I predicted your prediction".
Therefore, Schiller knew very well that the best way to deal with Barbatos was to turn the original encounter into a non-encounter in which everything was within Batman's plan. In addition to the nesting dolls, Batman also had the almost invincible aura of the protagonist.
