Chapter 202 What is the widow in the funeral hall? "Ugh!" The Merciless Iron Fist, who was entangled in the Lasso of Truth, suddenly sighed heavily. "Diana, you ruined my good thing!" He said helplessly, "Why did you suddenly want to save me? I had my own plans, and you ruined them all! "It was like this when we were together before. I always had to adjust my schedule and make concessions because of your sudden ideas..." These words are quite blunt indeed, and clearly not something that a merciless and iron-fisted person would say. Bruce found it strange. But when he saw the golden lasso wrapped around him, Batboy quickly figured it out. I see, now the Merciless Iron Fist can only tell the truth, right? Was what he just said the unspoken complaints he had when he was with Diana? At this point, Clark is questioning Diana, and her behavior does seem strange. "Are you deliberately making up an excuse to spare his life?"
"How can it be." Diana shook her head, "Merciless Iron Fist slaughtered a world, and just one death is too easy for him." "Diana, you are so indecisive." Wumin Tiegan, who was tied to the ground, shook his head and said, "Although you said so, I still heard a hint of pity in your tone. "Didn't the battle with Ares serve as a warning to you? "Showing mercy to your enemies will only hurt yourself." Diana lowered her eyes and kicked Wumin Iron-Fisted to the ground. Who is she being blamed for now? The merciless and iron-fisted man can actually make sarcastic remarks like an outsider. Does he really want to die so much? Bruce didn't mean to blame Diana. He asked, "So what do you want to do next?" "Take him back to Earth-minus-eleven." Diana said, "There is still hope for the world he destroyed to be restored. Wuqing Ironfist wants to atone for his past sins and give everything he has for the world to evolve again!" In fact, Wonder Woman has held this idea since she was resurrected by Bruce. Bruce told her about the existence of Swamp Thing and Solomon Grundy, and that there is still hope for rebuilding the desolate Earth-11. Diana is a god with a nearly infinite lifespan, so she has plenty of time to wait. Waiting for the earth to be covered with green, waiting for life to sprout, waiting for the world to be reborn. She is willing to guard a lonely planet and watch the world change until civilization returns to Earth-11. This may be an unrealistic wish, but Diana is willing to spend her life trying. However, this idea was first rejected by Wumin's iron fist. "It's pointless, Diana." Wu Min's iron-fisted voice slowly deepened, "As long as there is still light and darkness in the universe, everything you want to do is meaningless."
“If it was before, I might have thought so too.” Diana glanced at Bruce and said, "But I now feel that this erroneous dark universe will come to an end in my lifetime." Batboy felt a little flustered by this look. What do you mean? Did this Diana have some inappropriate expectations of him? Bruce really wanted to explain that his lifelong wish was just to protect Gotham, and changing the dark universe was really too far away from him. He had never really thought about it. Hearing Diana's innocent remarks, Wumin Iron Fist laughed. The laughter was full of mockery and helplessness. "impossible!" He said loudly, "If you want to end the Dark Universe, you must defeat Lord Barbatos, but Barbatos is invincible and no one can defeat him!" nobody! Wu Min Tie Wan's words were verified by the Lasso of Truth, which shows that they were truly from the heart. "You can't change anything!" He continued, "The only thing we can do now is to take revenge on the material world and let those living in the bright universe feel our pain!" There is no other way. Diana was extremely heartbroken to see her lover like this. Bruce, who never gave up, believed in fate after becoming a ruthless iron-fisted man. Even I myself have become part of the support for darkness. "Hopeless." Bruce shook his head and said, "Diana, you heard it all. There is no turning back for Merciless Iron Fist." "I……" Diana still wanted to argue, but now it was useless to say anything. "The merciless iron fist must pay the price for what he did!" Bruce whispered, "But we can't kill him in this world. We have to go back to Earth-Eleven." Return to Earth-11 and execute him in Wuqing's iron-fisted hometown. "Hahahaha!" Wumin Tiegan laughed loudly, "You guys really dare to think of it! Going back to Earth-11? Do you believe that as soon as I go back, the Dark Knights will immediately get the news and come to rescue me!" He is now outspoken and speaks the truth without restraint. Bruce couldn't bear it any longer. He glanced coldly at Wuqing Tiefen and said, "You seem to be looking forward to it? Believe me, I can kill you before they get here!" "so what?"
Wumin Tiegan said without fear, "I have been making preparations all along. Some of my unfulfilled wishes will naturally be fulfilled by future generations! "As long as I can avenge the main world, I will die without regrets!" Bruce was keenly aware of the key words in the words "ruthless and iron-fisted". Posterity? "What descendants?" Bruce asked. "You have children?" Diana also looked at Wumin Tiefen, waiting for him to give an explanation. "It's almost the same. Although he was not created by me, he was born because of me!" Wumin Tiegan suddenly asked back, "Bruce, don't you find it strange that I didn't use stasis this time?" "Isn't it because I didn't use the speed force?" Bruce asked with a frown. "Of course not! I'm using Grodd's brain for something more important!" Wumin Iron Fist laughed loudly, "Bruce, you will never know what kind of monster I created. His existence is to completely wipe you out!" He laughed extremely wildly, as if he was proud of his preparations for a rainy day. Perhaps as Barbatos once said, the moment Bruce left the DC universe, his fate became unknown. The Dark Knights that were originally prepared might not be able to deal with Bruce alone. Therefore, preparations must be made in advance to create a dark Batman who is the epitome of the dark Batman, so that no matter how powerful Bruce becomes outside the world, he cannot escape the clutches of Barbatos. Wumin's iron fist successfully made the plan take the first step. "I'll never know what you did, right?" Bruce glanced at the Lasso of Truth tied to Merciless's body. "Can you tell me in detail about your evil plan?" Bruce asked. Wumin Tiewan was laughing just now, but when he heard this question, he nodded naturally: "Okay." "Then tell me." Bruce was ready to listen. "The real special thing about Stasis Force is that it is not used to restrain Speed Force." Wuqing Iron Fist began to talk nonstop, "Static force is one of the seven mysterious forces sealed in the Wall of Origin, which involves the origin of the world..." That's how he told the story. In Merciless's telling, Stasis becomes a connection to the Wall of Origin that envelops the DC Multiverse. The Wall of Origin is an extremely special existence in the DC universe, sealing the consciousness of countless powerful people and past heroes. If life forms in the universe were to connect to it briefly, things would happen that could not be explained by common sense.
such as-- Things that were originally lifeless suddenly gained life. It is even possible to directly possess the power of the powerful being sealed on it. This kind of thing has happened before. Yuga Khan, Darkseid's father, his body was trapped in the Wall of Origin, but his consciousness and abilities were connected to Shazam. Shazam... When Bruce heard this, he suddenly realized, was it for this reason that Merciless collected Black Adam's body before? Shazam and Black Adam do have similar abilities. They are born as carriers of divine power. If they transform their bodies... Thinking of this, Bruce immediately raised his guess to Wumin Iron Fist and received a positive answer. "Black Adam's body is made of pure divine power. His true form is just a withered old man." Wumin Tiegan said, "I really can't think of anyone more suitable for this experiment than Black Adam!" After hearing this, Bruce finally understood why the Merciless Iron Fist was so fearless and not afraid of death at all! Because he has left himself the hope of destroying the main world. Die without regrets! "not good!" He immediately thought of Diana and Katum who were still imprisoned. "Where's your Batcave!" He asked Merciless Ironhand, "Are Diana and Katoom there?" "I told you that you can only save one..." Before Wuqing Tiefen could finish his words, he was slapped in the face by Bruce. "Hurry up! Where are Diana and Katoom!" "They're in different Batcave." Wumin Tiegan lowered his head and said, "I originally asked you to choose who to save, but I deliberately swapped their positions behind your back..." Bruce lamented in his heart the insidiousness of this plan. If everything developed according to Merciless's iron-fisted design, he would undoubtedly break his oath to protect Diana. Fortunately, none of this happened. He asked the Merciless Iron Fist about the location of the Batcave, then turned to look at Clark. "You still want to send me away, right?" Clark understood what Bruce meant, and he said calmly, "But you should also know that I don't want to leave here." "I know."
Bruce no longer had the mood to continue fighting Clark, so he decided to solve the problem in a different way. "But you owe me one, don't you?" It was Bruce who used Magneto's helmet to free Superman from his mental manipulation. Now the helmet is still on Clark's head, and he can't deny it even if he wants to. "I do owe you, but that's not enough..." "you misunderstood." Bruce suddenly said, "I don't want to use favors to blackmail you, I just want to make an agreement with you, a gentleman's agreement!" These words were beyond Clark's expectations, and he couldn't help but wonder what Bruce would say next. "I want you to protect Earth-11 for me for a while." Bruce said, “In that destroyed world, new hope has just emerged, and it is still very fragile and needs protection. “This is also a rare experience for you, Clark. Observing the birth of a new world will definitely give you more to think about. "You don't need to guard me for long. Before my life ends, I will come to you and finish our unfinished battle. "If you win by then, you can stay wherever you want." After hearing Bruce's words, Clark fell into deep thought. Bruce's words touched his heart. Watching a world come into being from nothing is indeed a very rare experience. He was not originally from this universe, but he met his mentor and wanted to listen to more advice and teachings. It is not impossible to go to another world and experience the birth of that world firsthand. "Dark Universe Observer, how about this title?" Bruce added fuel to the fire, "Breaking the shackles of the dark universe and creating a new world is probably what you want to do, right?" "…Indeed." Clark nodded and said, "But how long do I have to guard it? Don't pretend you don't know. Even if a world has plants and microorganisms, it will take at least hundreds of millions of years for animals and civilization to appear." This is an astronomical figure. If Bruce never comes to find him, will he stay on Earth-11 for the rest of his life? Even if Superman has an extremely long lifespan, he can't consume it like this. "Don't worry about that." Bruce said, "The power of the Life Council will maintain the balance. Since the green and gray forces have appeared on Earth-11, the red of all living things representing animals will soon appear as well!" It doesn't take billions of years at all. With the intervention of supernatural powers, the process of life evolution will be greatly shortened. As for how long it would be shortened, Bruce couldn't judge.
"Really?" Clark still had some doubts. "real!" Bruce nodded affirmatively, "I will definitely come to find you. This is a gentleman's agreement. We will exchange our sincerity for yours!" Hearing this, Clark finally felt relieved. He felt Bruce's sincere heart, and it would be rude to doubt it any further. "One hundred years at most." Clark said, "I will wait for you for a hundred years at most. If you don't come to me by then, I will act according to my own ideas. "Remember Bruce, from now on, we owe each other nothing." He took off Magneto's helmet and handed it back to Bruce. A hundred years may sound like a long time, but for Superman's lifespan, it is really nothing. "Then it's a deal." Bruce finally kicked the Merciless Iron Fist, "And this guy..." "I'll take care of it." Clark said suddenly, "I won't give him the chance to call Barbatos." With such assurance, Bruce felt relieved. In an instant, he activated the Speed Force, wrapped Diana, Clark and Merciless in it, and took them away from the DCEU universe. The bizarre scenes flashed before their eyes, and when they stopped, they had returned to that desolate world. Clark kept his promise and left with a ruthless iron fist as Bruce and Diana watched. When he came back, he was the only one left, holding the blood-stained Lasso of Truth in his hand. "Do you want to check it out?" Clark returned the lasso to Diana. "Come to think of it, that guy is a little bit crazy. At the last moment, he was still laughing and saying that his mission was accomplished." "Because he's gone mad." Diana looked at the blood on the noose and felt a little depressed. But she quickly digested this sense of loss. Wumin Iron Fist could not turn back. If she continued to dwell on it, she would only be torturing herself. "It's actually a blessing for him to die in his hometown." Diana said, "I want to put him in my old coffin. This is my last bit of love for him!" Clark nodded. Since Diana was calm, it would be okay to take her to see the body of Merciless Iron Fist. Bruce followed suit. After confirming that Merciless was dead and there was no risk of him coming back to life, Bruce said goodbye to Superman, Diana and the others and returned to the world of DCEU alone.
There, one last headache awaited him. "Speaking of which, isn't the ending of Merciless Iron Fist a little too humorous?" Bruce thought on the way, "His wife and Clark are alone on a deserted planet, next to the grave of the merciless iron fist." What kind of widow plot is this? Bruce withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Now he was going to find his Diana. Oh yeah, and that owl. …… Merciless Iron Fist actually has not one, but three Batcave. In two of the bat caves, there is a huge cross, where Diana and Katoom are imprisoned. Bruce knew the location of every Batcave, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in one of them. Tied to the cross in front of them was the unconscious Diana. He rescued Diana and woke her up gently. Diana's eyelids fluttered, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Bruce's smile. "you……" It only took Diana a moment to understand what was going on. "Is it all over?" she asked. "Just a little bit more." Bruce said softly, "Just one more pig-faced professor and the war will be over." Among the seven adventers, the last one left is the weakest Pig-faced Professor. It also sounds a bit ridiculous. "well……" Diana didn't know what to say. Bruce really kept his promise to her. He had dealt with the toughest enemies and fought the most difficult battles. Even looking at the current situation, Bruce did choose to save her first. Katum must be very sad. "Diana, I know you have a lot to say to me, but we don't have time right now." Bruce took Diana's hand and the two rings touched each other. "Before Wumin Tiegan left, he dug a hole for me. We must eliminate this hidden danger!" "Okay, okay!" Diana didn't know why, but she always felt like she couldn't breathe when facing Bruce.
Especially now that she was lying in Bruce's arms, listening to the boy's heartbeat and his breathing passing by her ears. Diana found it even harder to breathe. She suddenly wanted to get closer. Maybe it's gratitude, she thought. Grateful that Bruce had helped her undo those mistakes. Otherwise, I can't explain my current state, it's so strange. "Then let's go!" Bruce was also a little reluctant at this time. Under the circumstances, he could have taken the relationship a step further, but unfortunately there was no time. But after saying this, Diana didn't react at all. Bruce looked at Miss Wonder Woman and saw that she was staring at her lips in a trance. "Diana?" He called out again and again before he finally brought Diana back from her trance. "We should go." "Oh, alright!" Diana seemed a little flustered, a little worried that Bruce had seen through her thoughts. But Batboy really doesn't have the heart to think about anything else right now. He lifted Diana from his arms, got ready, and prepared to go to the Batcave where Professor Pigface was. "Wait a moment!" At this time, Diana suddenly said, "Aren't you going to save Katum?" Bruce hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, let's just go over there!" Owls don't need saving. He was arrested on purpose to protect Diana. Now that everything is over, he will come out by himself.
