Bruce Wayne in the soul state stared in amazement at the endless huge super cyberpunk city, as well as the various races and humanoid creatures on the streets. His whole face was filled with immense shock and disbelief.
Because when he originally heard the word Baator Hell, what came to his mind were the gloomy and terrifying scenes described in religious texts.
But I never expected it to be so prosperous, bustling, and noisy, and the level of technology was so advanced.
If you ignore the magical parts, it looks like a futuristic sci-fi world.
The most important thing is that its scale is so huge that it is beyond the limits of human imagination.
Especially the numerous restaurants, bars, nightclubs, casinos and other special service places on the roadside, as well as the groups of guys unconscious coming in and out, and the humanoid creatures standing in the corners selling various addictive drugs, made Bruce Wayne seem to see the shadow of Gotham in the past.
The familiar smell that came to his face even made him feel like a wanderer returning home.
But unlike the chaotic Gotham, everything here seems to be constrained by some powerful force of order.
Even those gray industries and gang members still abide by some basic rules, instead of infiltrating and controlling the government and law enforcement agencies to become the rule makers.
Countless mortal souls who come here live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, venting and indulging the suppressed desires in their hearts without any scruples.
Gluttony!
Lazy!
greedy!
Indulge!
Hedonism and consumerism are like viruses that erode everyone's thinking and consciousness, along with an endless desire for power and strength.
Bruce Wayne had no idea how to describe what he saw, nor did he know how a megacity with such ambitious plans by ordinary people could maintain orderly operation.
If this thing were placed on Earth, it would inevitably become very chaotic at just one thousandth or even one ten-thousandth of its size.
Administrative and law enforcement agencies will become bloated and inefficient, and various problems, big and small, will emerge one after another.
Criminals will even expand their power by bribing law enforcement officers, and capital will form interest groups to fight each other through money-for-power transactions.
However, these problems that once existed in Gotham are not reflected at all in the huge cyberpunk city today.
The devil's law enforcement agencies and judicial system are still powerful and efficient. Any individual or organization attempting to violate the law will be arrested and tried in a very short time.
The elected parliament and its subordinate bureaucracy are equally vigorous and responsive to all problems within their jurisdiction.
To be honest, Bruce Wayne suddenly felt like he was kind of falling in love with this place.
Because he could foresee that living in such a place would involve encountering exciting and sudden events every day and would never be boring.
"That's right! This is the ninth layer of Baator, an infinite space without boundaries. It is also the kingdom I built and ruled from scratch. How about it, isn't it great?"
Zuo Si was obviously very satisfied with the old bat's reaction. Standing in front of the French window on the top floor of the Lord's Building in the center of the city, looking down at the shining neon streets that were comparable to light pollution, Bruce Wayne praised generously: "It's more than great, it can be described as a miracle. How on earth do you manage such a large and complex super city?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "This brings us to one of the characteristics of Baator: order."
"Lawful?"
There was a hint of doubt in Bruce Wayne's eyes.
"Yes, lawful.
You can understand that any demon born here or other creatures that live here for a long time will inevitably be affected and develop a condition similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
They have a morbid obsession with rules, laws and discipline.
Although they may distort the interpretation of relevant clauses for their own interests, or even exploit loopholes and use them as weapons against their enemies, they will not openly challenge or violate the existing social order.
Quite the opposite!
They will only compete and play games within the framework of the rules.
In particular, the strict hierarchy has led to absolute obedience of subordinates to their superiors, giving the big devils in high positions unimaginable advantages.
Low-level devils can only try their best to please their superiors, demonstrate their work abilities, stand out from their colleagues, gain recognition, and get opportunities for promotion.
In this highly involutionary environment, everything will naturally become very efficient.
Any delay or lack of effort may result in failure to satisfy the boss and lead to demotion.”
Zuo Si patiently explained to the old bat the nature and operating rules of Baator Hell.
"So it's actually closer to a dictatorship in the guise of a democratic election?"
Bruce Wayne said with a strong sense of uncertainty in his tone.
Zuo Si sneered and shook his head: "No, it's not as simple as you think.
Because the operation of the entire system is extremely complex, and even lawful and good celestial beings from the upper planes are involved, it is difficult to give it a clear definition.
After all, in some communities, there are indeed many groups that tend to be kind.
With the help of celestial beings, they do their best to fight against the evil influence of the hell plane.
Although the final result is often due to being unable to resist the ubiquitous temptation and ultimately falling.
But this possibility and hope still exists, and will continue to attract kind creatures to come and try to make changes.
All mortal souls that arrive here, as long as their degree of depravity reaches a certain limit, will be sent to a torture chamber hidden in the dark for a long period of torture, in which the memories and emotions inside will be completely converted into energy and squeezed out.
In this process, the mortal soul will lose most of its memories and become a hollow shell.
Finally, the body is thrown into the hatching pit and transformed into larvae and the lowest level of devil.
The above are the complete set of operating rules for the ninth level of Baator Hell.
Of course, during the process of degradation, mortal souls can enjoy years, decades, or even hundreds of years of the most extreme pleasures and excitement.
So even if they know what the final result will be, they will not hesitate to invest in it. "
Hearing these creepy words, even Bruce Wayne shuddered involuntarily, and sighed with a wry smile: "Sinking in constant happiness? This is really a temptation that humans cannot refuse..."
As someone who has seen the dark world of Gotham, he is obviously very aware that the instinct of most ordinary people is to escape from pain and pursue happiness.
This is also why anyone who gets addicted to drugs, gambling, or prostitution finds it difficult to quit throughout their life.
Because these things can really make people very happy and very satisfied in the process of stimulating the brain, and can even permanently change the brain, greatly increasing a person's threshold for happiness.
This means that things that make ordinary people happy, such as a hearty meal or an intimate interaction in bed with their partner, cannot cause any ripples in their hearts at all.
Only stronger external stimulation, or even dark, twisted and morbid behavior, can satisfy their increasingly high happiness threshold.
After realizing this, Bruce Wayne finally understood the true meaning of the existence of this huge cyberpunk city in front of him and the terrifying evil nature of Baator Hell.
After a long silence, he could not help but ask, "Then what are you going to do with my soul?"
"It's simple. I plan to turn you into a good helper, a great devil in a unique form. But before that, I need to dig out the dark side of your heart."
As he spoke, Zuo Si turned around and transformed into a big devil, walked closer, and injected his evil power into the depths of his soul.
In just a few seconds, the long-suppressed dark personality in Bruce Wayne began to grow and develop at an extremely fast rate, and began to erode the main personality.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
With a scream of pain, he fell to his knees on the ground, with the right half of his face showing a completely different look of hideousness, bloodthirstiness and madness from the left.
Almost at the same time, the depth and evil that emerged from within his soul even caused a slight resonance in the plane of hell.
After all, Batman is not one of those sunny and cheerful superheroes. He has been filled with deep darkness since the moment he was born.
Especially the one in front of him, the more successfully he transformed Gotham before, the darker side in his heart is just as great.
Eventually, the darkness completely engulfed reason and condensed into a concrete personality entity, a bat demon that was about to emerge and roared angrily, representing pure evil and fear.
To be precise, this is the id that constitutes the birth of Batman, an original force that is usually suppressed by both the ego and the superego.
As the power of his ego completely erupted, Bruce Wayne's human body began to distort. A pair of huge bat wings slowly grew out from his back. His body began to stretch, become taller, and stronger. His hands and feet turned into sharp claws. A pair of horns like bat ears grew on his head, and behind his buttocks he had the devil's iconic tail with a poisonous hook.
Finally, the huge bat wings wrapped the entire body to form an airtight cocoon.
A huge amount of hell energy surged in from all directions and was injected into it, helping it complete the most important soul transformation.
Such a drastic change naturally could not be hidden from Asmodeus, who represented the will of the plane.
In less than three or five seconds, the Lord of Hell teleported over with his supreme authority, stared at the huge black cocoon in the room and asked with interest: "My young friend, where did you get such an extremely rare and precious interesting soul?"
"Another universe. How about it, what do you think of its potential?"
Zuo Si stroked his chin and asked casually.
“It’s amazing.
Because a soul like this, which simultaneously contains good and evil, order and chaos, is as dazzling as a jewel in the crown.
Whether it is demons, devils, celestial beings, or gods, they will all want to take it for themselves.
I'd even go to war to get him.
Especially since the mortal in front of him had fought for justice and kindness all his life, and had been trying his best to suppress his darkness and evil throughout his life.
But after death, he completely fell into depravity because he suddenly lost the meaning of persistence.
I was intoxicated by the extreme contrast and the feeling that good deeds were ultimately not rewarded. "
Asmodeus gave a very high evaluation directly.
Not only that, he also used the authority of the Lord of Hell to inject more energy into the transformation of Bruce Wayne.
You have to know that the transformation from a mortal to a devil is not just a change in the body and appearance.
The more energy you gain in this process, the greater the power and potential you will have after you are born.
After finishing all this, the Lord of Hell immediately turned around and looked Zuo Si up and down. After a long while, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "You have become stronger again? What's going on with the power of time and mysterious energy surrounding your body?"
"That's a long story."
Zuo Si blinked mysteriously, but did not intend to explain anything.
"Hahahaha, well, since you want to keep your secret, I won't ask."
Asmodeus obviously sensed the hidden meaning and immediately ended this little test.
As a Lord of Hell with a strong desire for control, although he knew that the young man in front of him would not really threaten his position, he still couldn't help but want to find out the bottom line.
There's no way around it. This is one of the devil's inherent natures - suspicion and jealousy.
Zuo Si also showed enough tolerance and patience in this regard, and bowed to Asmodeus with a smile.
Since both of them were deep-minded and very rational devils, they quickly put this little unpleasantness behind them.
The Lord of Hell, in particular, does not want to lose the most powerful ace salesman in hell, and the share of soul energy he can extract from him every day.
About ten hours later, accompanied by violent squirming inside the cocoon, a huge devil with the characteristics of a humanoid creature and a bat finally broke out of the shell. Its two eyes were completely black without a single bit of white, which made people feel creepy just by looking at it.
"How do you feel now?"
Zuo Si was the first to speak and break the silence.
Bruce Wayne, who had completely transformed into a devil, raised his claw-like hands and clenched them into fists. The corners of his mouth immediately rose wildly and he answered without thinking, "I feel great now! It's as if all the shackles in my heart have been broken, and the true self has been released."
"Congratulations, now you no longer have to worry about the so-called bottom line, and you can do whatever you want."
Zuo Si gave his blessing to the reborn Batman with a faint smile on his face.
Of course, to be more precise, it should be called the Bat Demon.
"Welcome to join the big family of Hell. I hope you can bring more and better evil souls here like your lord."
After saying this, Asmodeus activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
"That's... the Lord of Hell?!"
The bat demon obviously sensed the aura emanating from Asmodeus.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, it is him. Since you have completed the transformation into a great devil, I think it is time to send you to your other self."
"Another self?"
The Bat Demon was obviously stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something. The curve of the corners of his mouth suddenly became more exaggerated, as if he had merged with the Joker.
The only difference is that the Joker pursues complete chaos, while he pursues ultimate authority and order.
"Haha, believe me, this will be very, very interesting. After all, there is nothing more interesting than looking at another completely opposite self like looking in the mirror."
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Si suddenly made a move without warning and made the newly born Bat Demon into a follower card, then took him and activated the Planeswalker Spark to return to the parallel universe he had created before.
At this moment, the young Barry Allen, who had come back from the dead, has awakened and is sitting there looking up at the sky with a dazed look on his face.
Because after he woke up, he found that not only his good brother left without saying goodbye, but even the old Batman sacrificed his precious life to save him, and the whole world had undergone irreversible changes because of this Kryptonian invasion.
The fear of death and destruction fills everyone's mind. It is easy to open your mobile phone and the Internet to see a lot of discussions about the future of the earth and mankind.
More than 90% of them believe that they should take the initiative to join a relatively friendly and powerful alien civilization and become its vassal.
Although this will result in the loss of autonomy, it can at least ensure the continuation of human civilization, and perhaps even obtain some free scientific and technological assistance, thereby improving the living standards of ordinary people.
Others believe that we should surrender completely to the Kryptonians on Black Zero and let them rule and protect the Earth.
In short, many people are pessimistic about the future of their own civilization after witnessing the terrifying combat power of the Kryptonians and the horrific destruction that can be caused by the World Engine manipulating gravity.
This made the young Barry Allen, who had been killed once by Reverse-Flash, feel at a loss, as if everything he had done was meaningless.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Why don't you go home?"
Zuo Si gently patted the Flash on the shoulder to interrupt his thoughts.
The latter was startled at first, then showed a bitter expression and said: "Thank you, thank you for saving my life and saving the world. Kara has told me everything that happened afterwards."
Zuo Si responded with a smile: “You're welcome, anyway, I'm not the one who made the real sacrifice.
And if I were you, I would go home right now to report my safety.
You have to know that your parents are still alive. They must be worried if you suddenly disappear for such a long time.
Most importantly, why do you look so downcast?
As Barry Allen, perhaps the only one who grew up in a complete family with both parents still alive, you will have to take on the responsibility of protecting the earth.
Maybe others can be decadent and indulge themselves when they see no hope, but you are not qualified to do so. "
"I'm sorry, I...I just can't adapt to such a change all of a sudden.
You are right, I may be the only superhero in the world now, and I must shoulder my responsibilities.
I can't let Mr. Wayne's sacrifice go to waste, and I can't let anything unexpected happen to my parents again.
After all, like you said, I'm probably the happiest Barry Allen in all the parallel universes, so I have to do better than my other selves."
Just as he was about to embark on his journey home, a black woman with camouflage slowly walked out of the darkness and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Sir Soth, is Barry Allen really the last human in the world who possesses superpowers?"
“Maybe, maybe not.
But he is indeed the only one who has the ability to turn the tide when in desperate situations.
Because the speed force he possesses is one of the most powerful rules of power in the universe and can truly create miracles.
I suggest you treat Barry Allen well and provide him with all the resources you can."
Zuo Si gave the answer without even turning his head.
Obviously, this black woman was Amanda Waller who had come as a messenger to make contact not long ago.
"I see. Thank you for your reminder. I will convey these words to the President and Congress verbatim. In addition, regarding the contract, we have already signed it. Please review it."
As she spoke, Amanda Waller waved to the two attendants beside her to spread out the Devil's Contract and display the densely packed signatures at the bottom.
After taking a quick glance, Zuo Si immediately signed his name on the other side.
moment!
Flames immediately burst out of the scroll and began to burn fiercely, shocking everyone around them.
When the entire contract was completely burned down, leaving only embers drifting in the wind, Zuo Si finally spoke: "The contract has come into effect.
From now on, you will provide the souls and I will provide the protection.
As a first step, I will leave the Kryptonians on Black Zero's mothership behind.
If you encounter any danger or trouble that you cannot solve by yourself, you can directly ask them for help.
And I allow you to send scientists to study Kryptonian technology, and I also allow you to use Kryptonian oil to improve your own technological level."
"Thank you very much. We will remember your generosity and kindness, and pledge our eternal loyalty to you."
Amanda Waller lowered her head humbly to express her complete submission.
She knew very well that although the other party did not rule the earth in name, he was actually the supreme emperor of the entire world and could even be described as a god.
After all, knowing about the afterlife and the soul is enough to inspire awe in the living.
"Haha, I hope so."
Zuo Si smiled noncommittally, then activated the teleportation magic and came to the inner space of Hei Ling that had been strengthened by the transformation of the sparkling oil.
As soon as he showed up, Kara, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed up to him and asked for a kiss, as if they had not seen each other for several years.
But in fact, only a dozen hours had passed since we last parted.
They continued to make out like this for several minutes, until they were about to get into an accident. Zuo Si put a finger on the Kryptonian girl's moist and slightly swollen lips, and teased her in a half-joking tone: "Calm down, greedy and hungry little cat, I'm here to take you away this time. If we take it one step further now, I'm afraid it won't be over in a few days with our physical strength."
"A few days? I think we can last at least a few months."
Kara deliberately opened her mouth in a very seductive manner, first biting the fingertip gently with her teeth, then wrapped it with her tongue and sucked it, her eyes revealing naked and undisguised teasing.
However, her immature and clumsy teasing obviously had no effect on the battle-hardened Zuo Si, and instead he got hit on the head.
"Ouch! Why did you hit me?"
The Kryptonian girl touched her red forehead and pouted like a little woman.
"A few months? Don't overestimate your abilities in certain areas. Besides, I don't have that much free time."
Zuo Si rolled his eyes in annoyance, then hugged Kara's waist roughly and domineeringly.
This action instantly made the latter scream, and then his heartbeat accelerated, his whole body became limp, and his eyes seemed to be about to drip with tears.
But the next second she felt a flash before her eyes, and then she lost perception of her surroundings, as if she was completely enveloped by some kind of membrane.
I don’t know how much time had passed.
Maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes...
When the Kryptonian girl regained her awareness of her surroundings, she suddenly found herself at the gate of a huge manor, and next to Zuo Si there was an old man wearing a black suit, his face full of vicissitudes and stories.
Bruce Wayne? Driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Where is this place?"
"The home of Bruce Wayne, the Batman from another parallel universe.
Remember, don't speak unless necessary later.
Because every word you say will become a weapon he uses to analyze and use against you."
Zuo Si issued a serious warning.
With Kara's pitiful IQ and EQ, it is too easy for her to be manipulated by Bruce Wayne.
When facing Batman, the best way for people with lower levels to deal with it is to remain expressionless and silent.
"Understood. Everything is up to you."
After saying that, Kara took Zuo Si's arm and like other girls in love, she was eager to declare her sovereignty to the whole world.
After standing at the door for a few minutes, the butler Alfred soon came out in person.
Just when he was about to greet politely as usual, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his voice seemed to be stuck, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.
The reason is very simple! He saw another, older, more mature Bruce Wayne.
And not only their looks, but also their temperament and behavior are exactly the same.
"Long time no see, Alfred. You seem to have become a lot younger."
The Bat Demon greeted him in a tone of reunion after a long separation.
“You… who are you?”
Alfred swallowed subconsciously, and even his voice trembled a little.
The Bat Devil smiled and asked back, "Why, you can't even recognize my voice? Or do you think I'm someone else in disguise?"
"Oh my God! Are you really Bruce? The other Bruce?"
The old butler suddenly became excited.
He could feel that the man in front of him was what his master would look like in ten or even twenty years.
You will definitely not go wrong!
"Well, Alfred, do you think Bruce will like the surprise I bring him this time?"
Zuo Si interrupted with a smile.
The old butler had no idea what expression he should show, and replied with a look of tears and laughter: "Don't ask me, sir, I don't know how the master would react. But no matter what, I still feel a little relieved to see another Bruce live to this age. At least he didn't die at the hands of those lunatics and criminals."
"I think you'd better not be happy too soon.
Because Bruce never got married and had a family in his life.
The last person lived alone in Wayne Manor, leading an isolated old age life.
The good news is that he has successfully made Gotham one of the safest cities in the world."
Zuo Si obviously knew what the old butler wanted to know, so he gave a brief introduction to the old bat's living conditions.
When Alfred heard that the other Bruce never got married, had children and started a family in his life, he obviously showed an expression of sadness and sorrow, but when he learned that he had achieved his wish and successfully transformed Gotham, he instantly showed an expression of pride and pride.
It took him a full minute to recover from his violent emotional ups and downs. He put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "Anyway, thank you very much for telling me this and even bringing another Bruce here. Now please come in. I have just prepared black tea and snacks. The master went out for something an hour and a half ago and may not be back for a while."
"It doesn't matter. We're not in a hurry anyway."
An object shaped like an hourglass instantly appeared in Zuo Si's pupils, and then quickly disappeared.
Through the power of time, he easily knew that the Batman in this timeline was going to meet Barry Allen who had just returned.
After all, the opening of the time tunnel caused such a big fuss. Given this guy's personality, it would be strange if we didn't ask for clarification.
And if nothing goes wrong, I will meet Catwoman on the way back and do some exercise that is beneficial to my physical and mental health.
Ever since Catwoman was infected by the beast curse, the games these two have been playing have become more and more extravagant and wild.
There were several times when Bruce Wayne came back covered in bruises.
At one point, Alfred thought that his master was attacked by a new villain.
But later, a pair of black lace shorts and sticky stockings full of holes found in the Batmobile made him change his mind, and reminded him more than once in a very subtle way that although human XP is free, sometimes you still have to pay a little attention to the scale, at least not to get yourself covered in blood and flesh.
However, this kind of exhortation is obviously of no use to Batman who is already addicted.
Especially the stimulation brought by Catwoman's constant transformation from human to cat-human and back again throughout the process, as well as the painful and pleasurable scratching and biting during the excitement, which are things that no human woman can give and satisfy him.
As the saying goes, when a person's threshold in certain aspects begins to rise significantly, it often means the beginning of psychological distortion and perversion.
Just as Zuo Si was sitting in the living room of Wayne Manor enjoying black tea and snacks, far away in the Flash's secret base, Barry Allen was telling Bruce what happened during his disappearance.
Especially about Zuo Si's actions, the time paradox, and the Reverse Flash Albert Swan who suddenly appeared and disappeared.
After hearing everything, Bruce Wayne frowned and asked, "So he predicted what you might do in the future, and then opened the time tunnel and threw you back to the past?"
Barry Allen raised his head and took a big gulp of beer, then nodded dejectedly, "Yes. Although I would like to put the blame on him, I would make the same mistake sooner or later regardless of whether he was involved or not. All he did was to move the time forward a little bit."
"But what's the point of him doing this? According to what you said, if everything is restored to its original state, then this extra timeline will disappear.
This means that everything he did in that timeline is meaningless."
Bruce Wayne expressed the biggest doubts in his heart.
Such completely useless work obviously did not fit his analysis of Zuo Si's character.
In other words, since Zuo Si anticipated what the Flash would do, he should naturally have countermeasures.
So he felt that the timeline should not have been destroyed, at least not completely disappeared as Barry Allen described.
"I'm sorry, my mind is in a mess right now and I can't figure out the reason at all. But I can be sure that the changed past has been restored. The fact that the timeline we are in now has not changed is the best proof."
After saying that, Barry Allen opened another bottle of beer, tilted his head back and started drinking it.
As a speedster, his body can metabolize unlimited amounts of alcohol in a short period of time, so no matter how much he drinks, he will never get drunk.
I have to say, this is indeed a very sad thing.
Because what Barry Allen wants most now is to get drunk so that he can forget everything and start a new life after waking up.
Looking at the young man sitting on the ground in pain, Bruce Wayne slowly stood up, patted the other's shoulder silently, then turned and walked out.
Having witnessed his parents die in front of him, he could understand that kind of despair better than anyone else.
What's more, Barry Allen experienced loss again after losing it and regaining it.
No matter how strong a person is, it will take time to heal the emotional wounds after suffering such a blow twice in a row.
Back in the cab, Bruce Wayne sorted out his thoughts a little and repeatedly used reverse thinking to try to figure out Zuo Si's motives, but in the end he got nothing.
In desperation, he could only start his cool Batfighter and embark on the return journey amid the roar of the engine.
Just as Zuo Si saw in his prediction of the future, on the way home, Batman happened to discover Catwoman who was breaking into a house, and without saying a word he landed and had a conflict with her.
The two men's simple bickering quickly escalated into a fistfight. As the fight went on, their clothes became less and less, and they finally fell onto a bed.
As a result, some forbidden things happened naturally.
Because the process was so wild, the sheets, quilts and pillows were basically torn to pieces when they left, and even the walls and wooden boards at the head of the bed were covered with scratches.
It was not until the late night that Bruce Wayne dragged his tired body back to his secret base, the Batcave.
As he was walking towards the bedroom with his upper body naked and applying medicine to himself, he suddenly noticed that the lights in the living room were on and his old housekeeper was chatting and laughing with someone unknown.
Out of curiosity, he immediately stepped in, and at first sight he noticed the man who looked very similar to him, but just a little older.
Similarly, Batman also saw his past self in this timeline.
moment!
The entire living room fell silent.
"Are you the me from another timeline that Barry Allen mentioned?" Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes and tested cautiously.
"Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you."
The Bat Demon smiled, nodded, and extended his right hand in a friendly manner.
"Nice to meet you too. So the other timeline isn't really gone, right? I heard you managed to turn Gotham into one of the safest cities in the world."
Bruce Wayne is undoubtedly very interested in his other self.
Apart from anything else, the fact that Gotham was successfully transformed provides a lot of experience to learn from.
After all, in the timeline he is in, although the security situation in Gotham has improved significantly compared to the beginning, corruption, bribery and rampant gangs are still unsolvable problems.
No matter how many people are arrested and thrown into prison, more people will emerge to take over, as if they have formed some kind of symbiotic relationship with the entire city.
“That’s right.
Thanks to Lord Soth's efforts, that timeline was turned into a parallel world.
As for the transformation of Gotham, it actually originated from a riot that swept across Gotham.
It destroyed the government, law enforcement, everything, so the new Gotham is kind of being rebuilt from the ashes.”
The Bat Demon did not have any intention of being proud of himself. Instead, he behaved very humblely, as if he had only played a very insignificant role in the whole thing.
"Destruction? Rebirth!"
Bruce Wayne keenly grasped the two key words and also understood why his other self could successfully transform Gotham.
As the saying goes, without destruction there is no construction.
Only by destroying and ruining everything that was originally there can Gotham be truly reborn from the ashes.
It's a pity that he can't do this, let alone sit idly by and watch those lunatics and criminals do it.
Because many innocent civilians will die tragically in this process.
Fortunately, Bruce Wayne did not dwell on this issue too much, but quickly turned his gaze to Zuo Si, revealing a strong curiosity in his eyes.
"How did you manage to turn a branching timeline into a parallel world?"
"It's simple. I took advantage of the observer effect in quantum mechanics."
Zuo Si gave the answer with a smile.
